(Mt. 24:14; 28:19, 20; 2 Kor. 1:3, 4) Kandi Yehova anganaha owosi-wosi amenge n’akaghalha ebya thukayithagha nuku thubye ekyo anzire eriberererya erisonda liwe. Ebyosi ebi ni bighuma by’okwa kya lina liwe likamanyisaya, ngoku abasomi bangyi bakanabugha.

EMIBERE YEHOVA AKATHUTHOKESERAYAMU

3. Ngoku kiri omu Abanya Filipi 2:13, Yehova angathuha athi omuthima w’erianza erikolha?

3 Soma Abanya Filipi 2:13, NW. * Yehova angana thuha omuthima w’erianza erikolha. Eki angakikolha athi? Obundi ithwangana minya okwa kiyithawa kirebe omwa kithunga. Kutse abasyakulhu ibathusomera abaruha erilhua okwa kyaghanda ky’omuthahulha eyikathubwira okwa buyithawa obuli omwa bundi bulhambu. Ithwangana yibulya, ‘Nanga kolhaki eriwathikya?’ Kutse obundi thwabirihebwa olhusunzo olhukalire, neryo ithwabulha nga thunemwendi lhukolha ndeke. Kutse ithwasoma omwatsi mulebe omwa Biblia, n’eriyibulya, ‘Nanga kolesya indi omwatsi oyu eriwathikya abandi?’ Yehova syendi thukaka erikolha ekyosi-kyosi.

4. Yehova angathuha athi amaaka w’eriyira eky’erikolha?

4 Kandi Yehova angana thuha amaaka w’eriyira eky’erikolha. (Isa. 40:29) Anganathuha omulimu wiwe abuyirire eryuwania amaaka wethu w’ekibuthiranwa. (Eri. 35:30-35) Yehova angana kolesya ekithunga kiwe erithukangirirya ngoku thwanga kolha emibiiri mirebe. Saba obuwathikya wamayowa nga siwanga thoka omubiiri mulebe. Kandi yowe bwiranda erisaba Thatha wethu w’elhubulha kandi omwenge ‘y’obuthoki bunene.’ (2 Kor. 4:7; Lk. 11:13) Omwa Biblia muli eby’erileberyako bingyi ebikakanganaya ngoku athokesaya abalhume n’abakali omw’ibaha omuthima w’erianza n’amaaka w’eriyira eky’erikolha. Thukakania okwa by’erileberyako ebi, lengekanaya okwa syonzira esya Yehova angakukoleseryamu.

EKYA YEHOVA ATHOKESAYA ABALHUME ERIBYA

(Emib. 7:22-25) Eyihi, Yehova abere abiriwathikya Musa eribya mundu oyuyikehirye kandi mwolho, ni mwabya amukolesirye. (Emib. 7:30, 34-36) Yehova mwaha Musa y’obuthubaha bw’erikania n’omuthabali w’amaaka owe Misiri. (Eri. 9:13-19) Thuk’ighaki okwa mibere n’omughulhu Yehova akoleserayamu Musa? Yehova akakolesaya abakalengaho erigherererya emibere yiwe n’abakamuyikethera eribaha akaghalha.​—Fil. 4:13, NW.

Okwa buthuku obu, Barzilai omwa busyakulhu bwiwe, n’abandi bandu mubatsama engebe yabu eriwathikya Dawudi nabo abya nabo. Barzilai mwathalengekania athi kundi akulire omwa myaka, Yehova syanga thasyamukolesya. Omwakanya k’ekyo, mwakolesya ebyo abya awitheko eriwathikya abaghombe ba Nyamuhanga. (2 Sam. 17:27-29) Kikathweghesayaki? Mbulha thuwithe myaka mingahi, Yehova angana thukolesya eriwathikya balikyethu, obundi abo thuli nabo kutse omwa kindi kihugho, abali omwa buyithawa. (Emi. 3:27, 28; 19:17) Nomuthwangabya isithwangabayihikirako, thwanganahayo erisighika omubiiri w’ekihugho kyosi nuku esyosente sibye isineho eriwathikya omughulhu syanga yithaghisibwa n’aha syanga yithaghisibwa.​—2 Kor. 8:14, 15; 9:11.

7. Yehova mwakolesya athi Simeoni, kandi eriminya ekyo lyanga thughumya lithi?

7 Yehova mwalhaghanisya Simeoni, omusyakulhu muthaleghulha oyuwabya e Yerusalemu athi syendi syaholha athali alholha oku Masiya. Omulhaghe oyo angabya imwahamba oku Simeoni kwa kutsibu, kundi abya iniabirilindirira Masiya habw’emyaka mingyi. Yehova mwahemba Simeoni busana n’erikirirya n’eriyiyinia liwe.

(Lk. 2:25-35) Nomwakine indi Simeoni angabya imwaholha Yesu isyali atsuka omubiiri wiwe, mwasima busana n’olhusunzo olho athunga, kandi akendi syalholha okwa bindu bibuya bingyi omwa buthuku obukasa! Omwa kihugho kihya-kihya, omulhume muthaleghulha oyo akendi syalhangira obuthabali bwa Yesu bukalethera abandu abali okwa kihugho emighisa mingyi. (Enz. 22:18) Nethu thwanganasima olhusunzo lhwosi-lhwosi olhwa Yehova akathuha omwa mubiiri wiwe.

8. Yehova angathukolesya athi ngoku akolesaya Barnaba?

8 Omwa kighonye ky’erimbere E.K., omulhume omwenge oyukahulhawamo Yozefu mwaligha Yehova erimukolesya.

Aliwe, Barnaba mwamuyihirako, kandi Saulo angabya imwasima kutsibu obuwathikya obo. (Emib. 9:21, 26-28) Enyuma waho, abasyakulhu e Yerusalemu mubalhangira ekiyithawa ky’erihumulikania balikyethu ababya bikere haali omwa Antiokia eye Suria. Mubathumandi? Barnaba! Mubasombolha ndeke. Thukabwirawa indi Barnaba “mwahanabo athi abosi bakwame Omukama n’omuthima asikire.” (Emib. 11:22-24) Namunabwire, Yehova angana thuwathikya eribya “mughalha w’erihanda omuthima” okwa balikyethu Abakristayo. Ng’eky’erileberyako, angana thuwathikya erihumulikania ababiriholerwa ab’okw’ibo. Angana thuhira mw’omuhwa w’eribungira kutse eritherera oyulhwere kutse oyubbunikire omuthima n’erimubwira ebinywe by’erihumulikania. Wune mwendi lighira Yehova akukolesaye ngoku akolesaya Barnaba?​—1 Tes. 5:14.

Vasily abere akasombolhwa eribya musyakulhu inianawithe myaka 26, mwayowa isyanga thoka eriwathikya ekithunga bunyakirimu, kutsibu-tsibu abawithe ebitsibu. Aliwe, mwabana erithendekwa ndeke erilhua okwa basyakulhu abasi bingyi n’omw’ighenda okwa Sukuru y’Omubiiri w’Obwami. Vasily mwakulha-kulhana. Ng’eky’erileberyako, mwayihiriraho ebilhubirirwa birebe.

Yehova akabya akanyiwathikya eribana erisako eritholere ery’erihumulikaniamu mulikyethu omwa kithunga, kikaleka ingayowa ndeke.” Baghalha bethu, nenyu nga Vasily mwamalighira Yehova eribakolesya, inianganabaha amaaka w’erikolha esyongwamirwa esirithohire omwa kithunga.

EKYA YEHOVA ATHOKESAYA ABAKALI ERIBYA

Abalhume ba Dawudi mubasaba Omuisraeli omugaga ya Nabali y’ebyalya bike, ebyo angathoka. Mubayowa ibatholere erimusaba kundi babya ibanemutheya ekihangulho kiwe omwa mbwarara. Aliwe omukurungu Nabali mwaghana eribaha ekyosi-kyosi. Dawudi mwahithana neryo amanza eriy’itha Nabali n’obuli mwana w’obulhume omw’eka ya Nabali.

(1 Sam. 25:23-28, 32-34) Abigaili abya iniabirithunga emibere eyangaleka Yehova iniamukolesya. Kuthya, bali bethu Abakristayo abakabya n’amenge n’obuyitheghererya Yehova angana bakolesya erighumya amaka wabu n’abandi omwa kithunga.​—Emi. 24:3; Tito 2:3-5.

11 Myaka mingyi enyuma waho, bali ba Salumu babya baghuma b’okwa abo Yehova akolesaya erisuba-subania esyombimbo sye Yerusalemu. (Neh. 2:20; 3:12) Nomwakine indi thatha wabu abya mughuma w’okwa bakulhu, bali ba Salumu mubayihayo erikolha omubiiri owakalire oyo. (Neh. 4:15-18) Ibo si babya ng’Abanya Tekoa, ‘abathawathikaya’ okwa mubiiri. (Neh. 3:5) Thalengekania bali ba Salumu nga mubatsema bungahi omubiiri akahwa omwa biro 52 buyira! (Neh. 6:15) Omwa biro byethu bino, bali bethu bakayihayo ibanatsemire erikolha emibiiri y’embaghane eyibuyirire​—erihimba n’erisugha amanyumba awabirihebwayo oku Yehova. Amenge wabu, omuhwa, n’obuthaleghulha bwabu bikayithaghisibawa omubiiri oyu erithokekana.

12 Yehova mwathulha okwa muthima wa Tabita “erikolha emibiiri mibuya n’eriwathikya,” kutsibu-tsibu abakwakali. (Emib. 9:36) Kundi ini mwenge kandi w’olhukeri, abangyi mubamulira akaholha. Aliwe mubatsema kutsibu omukwenda Petero akamulhubukya. (Emib. 9:39-41) Thuk’ighaki oku Tabita?
