Ombibeli oya ti: ‘Kristus okwe tu fila fimbo twa li natango ovalunde.’ (Ovaroma 5:8) Tate yetu omunahole Jehova okwa yandja Omona waye a ninge ekulilo loku tu mangulula moulunde nefyo. Oshali oyo i na ondilo oye shi ningifa tashi shiiva opo tu dule okweehena popepi naJehova nokuulika kutya otu mu hole.

Ashike ohole yetu yoku mu hola ka i na ashike okukala ye likolelela komaliudo.

Jakob okwa ti: “Keshe oshipewa shiwa, nokeshe oshali sha wanenena, ohashi di kombada, okuXe yomauyelele, kuou pu he nomalundululo ile omapilauko ouyelele nomulaulu.” (Jakob 1:17) Otwa pandula neenghono eshi Jehova he tu pe keshe osho twa pumbwa opo tu kale nomwenyo notu kale twa hafa. Otu shii kutya oku tu hole neenghono notwa hala oku mu ulikila kutya nafye otu mu hole. Mbela osho ngoo u udite ngaho?

6. Ovaisrael ova li va pumbwa okuninga shike ngeenge ova hala Jehova a twikile oku va nangeka noupuna?

⁶ Ovaisrael ova li va pewa oinima iwa ihapu kuJehova. Oule womido omafele, okwa kala te va wilike nomhango yaye nokwa kala te va pe keshe osho va li va pumbwa opo va kale nomwenyo.

Pashihopaenenwa, eshi va li va yambela Jehova omayambo, ova li ve na oku mu pa “eshi shiwelela shomoshipe” shomapya avo.

Pashihopaenenwa, ohatu dulu okuyandja omayambidido opo tu yambidide oilonga yOuhamba meongalo letu nosho yo mounyuni aushe.

(Mateus 6:31-33) Otwe lineekela Jehova notu shii kutya ota ka wanifa po eudaneko laye. Kakele kaasho, ngeenge ou hole shili omunhu wonhumba, oho kala we mu lineekela. Onghee hano, ngeenge otwa kala twe lineekela Jehova filufilu, ohatu ke mu ulikila kutya otu mu hole. (Epsalme 143:8) Ndele natu lipule kutya: ‘Mbela eemhangela odo handi ningi nonghedi omo handi longifa efimbo neenghono dange ohai ulike ngoo kutya ondi hole Jehova shili? Ohandi kala ngoo nde lineekela Jehova efiku keshe kutya ota file oshisho eemhumbwe dange?’

Nokuli nokonima eshi a hombola ndele tava mono ounona vavali, okwa li natango e na ehalo la tya ngaho.

Ova landifa po eumbo lavo, ndele tava tembukile monhele inini. Mike okwa ninipika yo ongeshefa yaye yokuwapaleka nokwa mona onghedi yoku i unganeka e li koshilongo shimwe ta longifa ointaneta. Oshidjemo, Mike noukwaneumbo waye ova li va dula okutembukila koshilongo shimwe, nova kala tava hafele oukalele wavo neenghono. Mike okwa ti: “Otwa wanifilwa oushili weendjovo daJesus odo di li muMateus 6:33.”

David okwa ti: “Eendjovo domokanya kange nomadilongo omomutima wange nae ku wapalele, Omwene, emanya lange nOmukulili wange.” — Epsalme 19:2, 8, 15.

11. Ongahelipi hatu dulu okulongifa eshiivo olo Jehova e tu pa, tu ulike kutya otu mu hole? (Tala efano pehovelo loshitukulwa.)

¹¹ Kunena, Jehova ohe tu hongo shihapu kombinga yaye, yomalalakano aye, yeshito laye nEendjovo daye. Ounyuni otau ladipike ovanhu va lalakanene ehongo, ashike ehongo lopombada luhapu ohali va ningifa vaha kale vali ve hole Kalunga. Mepingafano naasho, Jehova ina hala ashike tu mone eshiivo, ndele ohe tu kwafele yo tu kale ovanaendunge. Okwa hala tu tule moilonga osho hatu lihongo opo tu mone ouwa notu kwafele vamwe. (Omayeletumbulo 4:5-7) Pashihopaenenwa, okwa hala tu tukulilafane navamwe ‘eshiivo loshili’ notu va kwafele va ka xupifwe. (1 Timoteus 2:4) Ohatu ulike kutya otu hole  Jehova nosho yo ovanhu vakwetu moku va honga shihapu kombinga yOuhamba waKalunga nosho yo osho tau ka ningila ovanhu. — Lesha Epsalme 66:16, 17.

Mbela oshali oyo iwa oya li ye mu linyengifa a kale e uditile ngahelipi Jehova? Okwa ti: “Pomhito opo onda li nda didilika kutya Jehova omunhu wolela nonokutya oku hole nge pauhandimwe neenghono adishe. Inatu hafa tuu eshi Kalunga ketu munene Jehova, he tu pe nehalo liwa eeshali diwa noda wanenena!”

13, 14. Otu na okulinyenga ngahelipi ngeenge Jehova te tu pe outekuduliko, nomolwashike?

¹³ Ombibeli oye tu dimbulukifa ya ti: “Ou Omwene e mu hole Ye ote mu hanyene, heeno, ngaashi xe ta hanyene omona waye e mu hole.” (Omayeletumbulo 3:12) Ngeenge  otwa kala hatu tambula ko outekuduliko waJehova nokweefa e tu deule, ohatu lihongo okulonga osho sha yuka nohatu ka kala tu na ombili. Oshoshili kutya “edengo keshe pefimbo lalo katu li wete olo ehafo, ndelenee olo oluhodi.” (Ovaheberi 12:11) Ndele nande ongaho, otu na okulinyenga ngahelipi ngeenge Jehova te tu pe outekuduliko? Inatu lipwililikila nandenande omayele aJehova ile tu kale twa handuka ngeenge inatu panda osho twa lombwelwa. Molwaashi otu hole Jehova, ohatu ka pwilikina kuye nokuninga omalunduluko a pumbiwa.

¹⁴ Pefimbo laMalakia, Ovajuda vahapu kava li hava pwilikine kuJehova. Nonande ova li ve shii kutya omayambo oo tava yambe inaa hokiwa kuJehova, kava li ve na ko nasha. Nomolwaasho Jehova a li e va pa omayele a kwata moiti shi na sha naasho. (Lesha Malakia 1:12, 13.) Jehova okwa li e va pa omayele lwoikando ihapu, ndele kava li va pwilikina kuo. Onghee hano, okwa li e va lombwela a ti: “Ohandi ka tuma efingo mokati keni ndele handi lundulula omanangeko noupuna eni.” (Malakia 2:1, 2) Osha yela kutya ngeenge otwa kala ihatu pwilikine komayele aJehova ile tu kale tu wete inaa fimana, ohatu ka nyona po ekwatafano letu naye.

15. Otu na okuhenuka omadiladilo elipi?

Vamwe ohava pwilikine ashike komayele molwaashi ve na oku shi ninga. Ashike fye katu na okukala noikala ya tya ngaho. Ombibeli otai tu lombwele kutya ‘inatu faafana nounyuni ou.’ Ponhele yaasho, otwa pumbwa okushiiva osho Jehova a hala tu ninge nokulonga osho tashi mu hafifa. (Ovaroma 12:2) Oha longifa ehangano laye opo e tu pe omayele pefimbo la wapala. Pashihopaenenwa, ohatu dimbulukifwa shi na sha nanghee tu na okulihumbata ngeenge tu li novanhu voukashike kookanhu wa yooloka ko kuwetu, nghee tu na okuhoolola ookaume nosho yo nghee tu na okuhoolola omalihafifo. Ngeenge otwa kala  hatu tambula ko nehalo liwa outekuduliko waJehova nokuninga omalunduluko opo tu mu hafife, ohatu ulike kutya otu na olupandu omolwewiliko laye nonokutya otu mu hole shili. — Johannes 14:31; Ovaroma 6:17.

Ove shii kutya nonande otava dulu okuninga omatokolo kuvo vene, ovadali vavo otava dulu oku va pa omayele mawa.

Ngeenge otwe lineekela Jehova, ote ke tu pa omhepo yaye iyapuki i tu kwafele tu longe osho sha yuka. — Ovafilippi 2:13.

¹⁷ Pefimbo laSamuel, Ovaisrael ova li va findwa kOvafilisti. Ndele ponhele yokupula Jehova kutya nava ninge po shike, ova ti: “Natu ka taleni oshikefa shehangano [lOmwene] muSilo shi kale mokati ketu ndee tashi tu xupifa momake ovatondadi vetu.” Oshidje mo shetokolo olo osha li shike? Ombibeli oya ti: ‘Olwoodi ola li linene shili. Ovakwaita Ovaisrael omayovi omilongo nhatu ova dipawa. Oshikefa shaKalunga osha iwa yo nasho.’ (1 Samuel 4:2-4, 10, 11) Ovaisrael ova li tava diladila kutya ngeenge ova kala ve na oshikefa shehangano, Jehova ote ke va kwafela noku va amena. Ashike kava li va pula Jehova e va kwafele ile va kendabala okutala kutya okwa tala ko ngahelipi oshinima osho. Ponhele yaasho, ova ninga osho va li tava diladila kutya osho sha yuka, nova li va mona oilanduliko ii neenghono. — Lesha Omayeletumbulo 14:12.

Kalunga kange, omwenyo wange otau nyika oufiye meni lange; onghee ohandi ku dimbulukwa.’ (Epsalme 42:6, 7) Mbela osho ho kala u uditile Jehova ngaho? Oho kala ngoo u udite wa ehena popepi naye nowe mu lineekela? Otashi dulika wa pumbwa okulihonga okukala we mu lineekela shi dulife nale. Ombibeli oye tu lombwela ya ti: “Nomutima woye aushe lineekela Omwene, ino liameka keendunge doye mwene. Mu shiiva meendjila doye adishe, opo nee Ye ota ka lalakanifa omalila oye.” — Omayeletumbulo 3:5, 6.
