1. Thukaminya thuthi ngoku Yehova anzire eriyithunda okw’ithwe?

 YEHOVA akathukokaya athi thuyithunde hakuhi nayu. (Yak. 4:8) Anzire iniabya Nyamuhanga wethu, Thatha wethu, kandi Munywani wethu. Akasubiraya emisabe yethu kandi akathuwathikaya omwa mughulhu w’ebitsibu. Kandi akakolesaya ekithunga kiwe erithukangirirya n’erithutheya. Aliwe thutholere ithwakolhaki eriyithunda hakuhi na Yehova?

2. Thwanga yithunda thuthi hakuhi na Yehova?

² Thwangana yithunda hakuhi na Yehova omw’imusaba n’erisoma Ekinywe kiwe n’erikighaniryako. Thukabya thukakolha ekyo, thukongera erimwanza n’erimusima. Kikathuhira mw’omuhwa w’erimwowa n’erimuha eripipa erimutholere. (Erib. 4:11) Thukabya thukongera eriminya Yehova, kwa thukan’ongera thuthya eriyikethera iyo n’ekithunga kiwe ekyo abirihiraho erithuwathikya.

3. Diabolo akalengaho athi erithughabulha oku Yehova, aliwe ni byahi ebikendi thuwathikya erithendi sighania Nyamuhanga wethu n’ekithunga kiwe? (Esyonyimbo 31:13, 14)

³ Nomwabine, Diabolo akalengaho erithughabulha oku Yehova, kutsibu-tsibu omughulhu thukabana ebitsibu. Akakolha ekyo ky’athi? Lyolho-lyolho akalengaho eritsekya eriyikethera lyethu omu Yehova n’ekithunga kiwe. Aliwe thwangana ghana ebithegho biwe. Erikirirya lyethu lyamabya irinaghumire kandi eriyikethera lyethu omu Yehova lyamabya isiritsinga-tsingire, isithwendi sighania Nyamuhanga wethu n’ekithunga kiwe.​—Soma Esyonyimbo 31:13, 14.

4. Omo mwatsi ono thukendi kania okuki?

⁴ Omo mwatsi ono, thukendi kania okwa bitsibu bisathu ebyangasira eyihya sy’ekithunga; obuli kitsibu kyangana tsekya  eriyikethera lyethu omu Yehova n’ekithunga kiwe. Ebitsibu ebi byanga thughabulha bithi oku Yehova? Kandi thwanga kolhaki erisingura akaghalha aka Sitani akahiraho?

5. Ebitsibu byanga tsekya bithi eriyikethera lyethu omu Yehova n’ekithunga kiwe?

⁵ Hakanayira ithwabana ebitsibu​—ng’erihakanisibwa omw’eka kutse eribya isithukiwithe mubiiri. Ebitsibu ng’ebyo byanga tsekya bithi eriyikethera lyethu omwa kithunga kya Yehova kandi ibyathughabulha okw’iyo? Thwamabya omwa bitsibu ahabw’obuthuku buuli, ithwanganahwa amaha n’eribbunika muthima. Sitani akakolesaya ehighisa ng’ehyo n’erianza thuthike-thikire olhwanzo olho Yehova athuwithire. Diabolo anzire ithwalengekania thuthi eriaghalhwa lyethu likalhua oku Yehova kutse ekithunga Kiwe. Ekindu ng’ekyo mukyanabya okwa bandi Baisraeli e Misiri. Okw’itsuka mubaligha ngoku Yehova yuwasombolha Musa na Haruni eribalhusya omwa bukobe. (Eri. 4:29-31) Aliwe omughulhu Farao ongera erikalya engebe yabu, mubatsweba Musa na Haruni busana n’ebitsibu byabu, omw’ibabwira bathi: ‘Mwabiritsandya erikumba lyethu eribya nye omo meso wa Farao, n’okwa meso w’abaghombe biwe, erihira omuyali w’omo byalha byabo erithwitha.’ (Eri. 5:19-21) Mubatsweba abaghombe ba Nyamuhanga abathaleghulha. Ekyo ka kyabya ky’obulighe! Wamabya iwabirighunza mughulhu muuli iwune omwa bitsibu, wang’ongera wuthi erighumya eriyikethera lyawu omu Yehova n’ekithunga kiwe?

6. Thuk’ighaki oku muminyereri Habakuki bikahika okw’ighumira ebitsibu? (Habakuki 3:17-19)

⁶ Bwira Yehova y’ebyosi ebiri okwa muthima omw’imusaba, kandi musondayeko obuwathikya. Omuminyereri Habakuki mwabana ebitsibu bingyi. Muhanayira amabulha Yehova ng’anamutsomene. Neryo mwabwira Yehova y’eriyowa liwe omw’imusaba. Mwabugha athi: ‘Iwe Mwami Mukulhu, nasyakolyahi ingalira busana n’eriwathikibwa, nawu siwulisonda eriowa kwehi? Busana naki wukaleka inasamalira obubi kwehi?’ (Hab. 1:2, 3) Yehova mwasubirya omusabe owakalhua okwa muthima ow’omughombe wiwe muthaleghulha oyo. (Hab. 2:2, 3) Abere abirighanirya okwa bya Yehova abirikolha erilhamya abandu biwe, Habakuki mwabana etseme kandi. Mwaligha ndeke-ndeke ngoku Yehova amutsomene kandi kw’akendi muwathikya erighumira ekitsibu kyosi-kyosi. (Soma Habakuki 3:17-19.) Thuk’ighaki? Wamabana ebitsibu, saba Yehova kandi mubwire eriyowa lyawu. Neryo musondayeko obuwathikya. Wamakolha ekyo, iwukendi yikethera ngoku Yehova akendi kuha amaaka agho wukayithagha eriyiyinia. Kandi wukendibya wukayilhangirira obuwathikya bwiwe, erikirirya lyawu likendyongera erighuma.

Efamile yenyu yikine nyinakwa. Wunemutsandya obuthuku bwawu erithulira.” Shirley akaligha athi: “Munayibulya:  ‘Mbwino Nyamuhanga anathutsomene kutse eyihi?’ Neryo aho naho munasaba Yehova n’erimubwira obuli kindu ekiri omwa bulengekania bwaghe. Munalholha embere n’endegheka yaghe y’erisoma e Biblia n’ebitabu byethu, namalholha n’embere erithulira n’erihindana okwa mihindano.” Buthuku buke-buke, mwatsuka eriyilhangirira ngoku Yehova anemutsomana eka yabo. Eka yabo muyithabulha eky’erirya, kandi mubabya ibanatsemire. Shirley akabugha athi: “Munayowa Yehova inianemusubirya emisabe yaghe.” (1 Tim. 6:6-8) Wamamakirira endegheka yawu y’obunyakirimu, nawu kuthya isiwendi lighira ebitsibu kutse erithika-thika bikakughabulha oku Yehova.

8. Ni byahi ebyangabya okwa baghalha bethu b’olhukwamirwa omwa kithunga kya Yehova?

Abakristayo ab’omwa kighana ky’erimbere mubalhaba omwa bitsibu ebiri ng’ebyo omughulhu omukwenda Paulo ahangirirawa n’erihirwa omwa ngomo. Mubakolhaki?

Mbwino mubakwa esisoni kundi omukwenda Paulo mwathwalhwa ng’engoli y’ebibi? (2 Tim. 2:8, 9) Kutse mubakwa obuba bathi nabu bangan’endereribwa?

¹⁰ Ibuka ekikaleka ithw’endereribwa kandi nga likalhua okundi. Timoteo Wakabiri 3:12 hakabugha hathi: “Abosi abanzire erikwama engebe y’erikenga Nyamuhanga n’erimathikana na Kristo Yesu, basyendereribwa.” Neryo sithutholere thukasweka Sitani akalhubirira eribambira baghalha bethu b’olhukwamirwa. Ekilhubirirwa kiwe kiri kithi eribambira ng’eryo likendi leka ibaleghulha n’eryubaha.​—1 Pet. 5:8.

Omw’ikolha ekyo, Onesiforo mwabya iniamatsama engebe yiwe. Thuk’ighaki? Sithutholere thukalighira eryubaha abandu likathusaghisya kutse erithukakirya erisighika baghalha bethu abak’endereribawa. Omwakanya k’ekyo, thubalhwireko n’eribawathikya. (Emi. 17:17) Bakayithagha olhwanzo n’obuwathikya bwethu.

Ithwangana tsuka eriyibulya: ‘Mbwino Yehova akanyiyithaghako ebya ngathe nanga thoka? Mbwino ekithunga kiwe kikanyiboherera kutsibu?’ Wamabya iwune omwa mibere eyiri ng’eyo, wanga yithunda wuthi hakuhi na Yehova n’ekithunga kiwe?

14. Thwanga kolhaki abandi bakathusiningulira busana n’erighendera okwa bihano bya Yehova? (Esyonyimbo 119:50-52)

Mwathalighira abandi erithwa obuthaleghulha bwiwe. (Yobu 27:5, 6) Thuk’ighaki? Isiwalighira erisiningulirwa likaleka wukathika-thikira ebihano bya Yehova. Lengekanaya okwa bya wabiriyilhangirira. Mirundi mingyi wanganabya iwabiriyilhangirira ngoku ebihano bya Yehova bihikire kandi ku bikakughasira. Ithwamu erisighika ekithunga ekikamakirira ebihano ebyo. Neryo nomuwanga siningulirwa bungahi ekyo isikyendi kughabulha oku Yehova.​—Soma Esyonyimbo 119:50-52.

Brizit akaligha ngoku Yehova mwamuha amaaka w’erighumira ebitsibu biwe n’eriyiyinirya erisiningulirwa ery’abahughu biwe.
