Neryo thukalengaho ‘erilhumiriranwa, erianzana ng’abasubeneko, n’erikwira obulighe’ abosi aliwe kutsibu-tsibu “abali omwa kithunga ky’abikirirye.” (1 Pet. 3:8; Gal. 6:10) Ab’omw’ihiika lyethu ly’obunyakirimu bakabya bakabana ebitsibu, thukanza ithwabawathikya.

2. Thukendi kania okuki omo mwatsi ono?

² Abosi abanzire eribya omw’ihiika lya Yehova bakabana ebitsibu. (Mk. 10:29, 30) Thukendi yithagha erighumira ebitsibu bingyi enduli y’omughulhu mubi ono yikaseghera hakuhi. Thwanga wathikania thuthi? Thulebaye ebya thwang’ighira okwa myatsi ye Biblia eyihambire oku Loti, Yobu, na Naomi. Kandi thukendi lebya ebighuma by’okwa bitsibu ebyo balikyethu banemubana munabwire n’erilhangira ngoku thwanga bawathikya eribighumira.

3. Ngoku kikanganibwe omu 2 Petero 2:7, 8, n’ithwamu lyahi libi erya Loti akolha, kandi ni byahi ebyalhwiririramu?

³ Loti mwathwamu nabi omughulhu asombolha eriyikalha n’abandu abatswatswa abe Sodomo. (Soma 2 Petero 2:7, 8.) Ekihugho ekyo kyabya kikulha-kulene, aliwe Loti mwabana ebitsibu bingyi busana n’er’ikalha e Sodomo. (Enz. 13:8-13; 14:12) Obundi mukali wiwe mwanza omuyi oyo kutse abandu ababyamo, kyamaleka iniathowa Yehova. Mwaherya engebe yiwe Nyamuhanga akawisya omuliro n’eripumuka ly’omuliro okwa kihugho  ekyo. Kandi lengekanaya n’okwa bali ba Loti babiri. Babya ibabirisimolibwa (ibabiriyasungwa) n’abalhume abaholera e Sodomo. Loti mwaherya enyumba yiwe, ebindu biwe, kandi ibbwa eky’obulighe bunene, mukali wiwe. (Enz. 19:12-14, 17, 26) Mbwino Yehova mwalemwa erighumisirizya Loti omughulhu abya omwa maghaniryo? Eyihi.

4. Yehova mwaghumisirizya athi Loti? (Lebaya ekisasani ky’okwa kidipa.)

⁴ Nomwakine indi Loti mwathwamu eryikalha e Sodomo, omwa lhukeri Yehova mwathuma abamalaika erimulhamya n’ab’eka yiwe. Aliwe, omwakanya k’erighendera lhuba okwa busondoli bw’abamalaika obw’erilhua e Sodomo, Loti “mwayithimbya-thimbya.” Abamalaika mubahamba ebyalha biwe n’eby’ab’eka yiwe n’erimuwathikya erilhua omwa muyi. (Enz. 19:15, 16) Neryo abamalaika mubamubwira bathi athibithe okwa kithwa. Aliwe omwakanya k’eriowa Yehova, Loti mwasaba erighenda omwa tawuni y’ahakuhi. (Enz. 19:17-20) Omw’ighumisirizya, Yehova mwahulikirira Loti n’erimulighira erighenda omwa tawuni eyo. Enyuma waho, Loti mwasagha er’ikalhayo neryo mwaghenda okwa kithwa, omwanya ogho Yehova anamubwira athi aghendemu erimbere. (Enz. 19:30) Yehova mwakangania erighumisirizya linene! Thwanga mugherererya thuthi?

5-6. Thwanga kolesya thuthi 1 Abanya Tesalonika 5:14 thukagherererya Nyamuhanga?

⁵ Nga Loti, omughuma ow’okw’ihiika lyethu ly’obunyakirimu anganathwamu nabi neryo iniayilethera ebitsibu ebikalire. Ekyo kyamabya, ithukendi kolhaki? Thwanganayisanga ithwabirimubwira thuthi akahulhulha ebyo abiba, kandi ini kwenene. (Gal. 6:7) Aliwe, hane ekyuwene ekya thwangakolha. Thwangana gherererya emibere Yehova awathikirayamu Loti. Thuthi?

⁶ Yehova mwathuma abamalaika erimanyisya Loti aliwe kandi n’erimuwathikya eribalha okwa kyahika okwa muyi we Sodomo. Nethu ithwangana yithagha erikunga mulikyethu thwamalhangira iniakayawa omwa kabi. Aliwe kandi ithwangana muwathikya. Nomwangabya isyathakolesya lhuba erihabulha eriseghemere okwa Biblia eryo amahebwa, thutholere ithwaghumisirizya. Ibya ng’abamalaika babiri. Omwakanya k’eribikyako n’eriseghera haali ku mulikyethu, thutholere ithwalhangira ngoku thwanga muwathikya. (1 Yn. 3:18) Ithwangana yithagha eribya ng’abamamuhamba okwa byalha, n’erimuwathikya erikolesya erihano libuya eryo amahebwa.​—Soma 1 Abanya Tesalonika 5:14.

7. Thwanga gherererya thuthi amalengekania agho Yehova abya awithe oku Loti?

⁷ Yehova anganahandire omunwe okwa buthahikana bwa Loti. Omwakanya k’ekyo, mwasondolha omukwenda Petero enyuma waho erikania oku Loti ng’omulhume muthunganene. Thutsemire eribya Yehova iniakakyurukaya ebisobyo byethu by’ameso! (Esy. 130:3) Thwangana gherererya amalengekania agho Yehova aby’awithe oku Loti? Thwamasamalira emibere mibuya y’abalikyethu, ithukendyongera eribaghumisirizya. Nabu, ibakendi anguhirwa eriligha obuwathikya obwa thukabaha.

Eky’obulighe kutsibu, iyo na mukali wiwe mubaholerwa abaana babu abosi. Yobu kandi mwahandikirirwa n’abanywani biwe basathu ab’amabehi. Ni nzumwa yahi eyaleka  banywani ba Yobu basathu ab’amabehi ibalemwa erimukwira obulighe? Mubathalengaho eriyitheghererya emibere eyo abyamo. Busana n’ekyo mubathunga oku Yobu kw’amalengekania awathahikire n’erimutswera nabi. Thwanga yitheya thuthi okw’ikolha esobya ng’eyo? Wuminye ngoku Yehova musa yuwasi ebyosi ebihambire okwa mibere eyo mundu alimu. Hulikirira ndeke ebya oyukaghalhawa akabugha. Eryongera okw’imuhulikirira; lengaho eriowa obulhumi bwiwe. Aho imuwukendi thoka erilhumirirwa mulikyenyu erilhua okwa muthima.

(Emi. 20:19; Abar. 14:19) Akabya isyawithe olhukeri kandi isyalilengekanaya, n’ebinywe biwe byangan’ongera obulhumi bw’oyukaghalhawa. (Emi. 12:18; Efe. 4:31, 32) Ka kyangabya kibuya thwamasondekania emibere mibuya y’omundu n’erilebya nga thwanga muwathikya thuthi omwa bitsibu biwe!

10. Ebinywe ebiri omu Yobu 6:2, 3 bikathweghesayaki?

¹⁰ Soma Yobu 6:2, 3. Ihakanayira Yobu iniabugha “lhuba-lhuba.” Nomwabine, enyuma waho mwaligha ngoku ebindi ebyo abugha sibyabya bihikire. (Yobu 42:6) Nga Yobu, munabwire omundu oyuli omwa kitsibu ekikamulyambaya, anganabugha tabbu-tabbu, eribugha eby’anganaleka iniayikubya bwomo enyuma waho. Thutholere ithwakolhaki? Omwakanya k’erimutsweba-tsweba, thutholere ithwamukwira obulighe. Wubye iwun’ibukire ngoku sikyabya kighendererwa kya Yehova owosi-wosi erithunga ebitsibu n’emilyambo  ebyo thukabana munabwire. Neryo kikayitheghereribawa omughombe wa Yehova amabugha buthalengekania omughulhu ali omwa maghaniryo mangyi. Nomwangabugha ebithatholere oku Yehova kutse okw’ithwe, isithw’anguha erimuhithanako kutse erimutswera busana n’ebindu ng’ebyo.​—Emi. 19:11.

Batholere ibagherererya Elihu, oyuwahulikirira ndeke Yobu inianayihirire omwa kisuku kiwe. (Yobu 33:6, 7) Elihu mwatsuka eriyitheghererya amalengekania wa Yobu neryo amamuhabulha. Abasyakulhu abakagherereraya Elihu ibakendi hulikirira ndeke n’erilengaho eriyitheghererya emibere eyo mundu alimu. Neryo ibakendibya bakahabulha, ibakendi thoka erihika okwa muthima w’omundu.

Ruta mwathasubulira okw’imubanira ebyo akayithagha aliwe kandi mwakirania Naomi omwa binywe. Ruta mwakangania Naomi y’olhwanzo n’erimusighika omwa binywe byolho, eby’eritsomana.​—Ruta 1:16, 17.

Emyaka yinemulhaba emirihi yayu yikalhuka-lhukana. Omughuma amakulhwa n’eryuma, owundi muthi anganahambwako kutsibu. Kuthya, oyukaholerawa omwanze busana n’enzighu olhuholho, anganasyendekerera habw’obuthuku buuli. Paula, * oyo mwira wiwe aholha kitsumbukirania, akabugha athi: “Engebe yaghe muyahinduka kutsibu, kandi munayowa isingakiwithe amani. Munaherya omunywani waghe w’okwa ndungu. Iningabwira mwira waghe obuli kindu. Iniakasangira omwa tseme yaghe n’erinyisighika omwa mighulhu eyikalire. Iniakanyihulikirira ingamubwira ebitsibu byaghe. Omwa kwenene munayowa nga nabirithwibwamo mbindi ibiri.”

14-15. Thwanga kirania thuthi oyuwabiriholerwa omwanze wiwe omwa butheke?

¹⁴ Thwanga kirania thuthi oyuwabiriholerwa omwanze wiwe omwa butheke? Eky’erimbere ekya thutholere erikolha, ly’erikania nayu, nomuwangayowa nga siwendi thoka kutse nga siwuwithe eby’eribugha. Paula, oyuli ahighulhu, akabugha athi: “Ngasi ngoku olhuholho lhukaleka abandu ibayibulha-bulha. Bakasagha bathi banganabugha ekikendi hithania omundu. Aliwe ibbwa kikalhuma kwilhaba aho abandu bamahuna.” Oyuli omwa bulighe bw’eriholerwa anganabya isyalithuyithaghako eribugha eky’embaghane kutsibu. Paula akabugha athi: “Iningasima abanywani bakabugha bathi, ‘Bolho-bolho.’”

Ebinywe byabu bikanyihumulikanaya, kundi mukali waghe abya  anyiwithire omughaso munene kandi iniabiribya kitsweka kinene ky’engebe yaghe.” Omukwakali oyukahulhawamo Bianca akabugha athi: “Ngahumulikana abandi bamasaba naghe n’erinyisomera lisako lighuma kutse abiri. Kikanyiwathikaya bakakania oku mwira waghe kandi bakanyihulikirira ingamukaniako.”

Aliwe, engebe yaghe yabya iyabirihinduka kutsibu. Kikawathikaya kutsibu abandi bamaminya ngoku oyuli omwa bulighe bw’eriholerwa akayithagha eriwathikibwa habw’amezi​—nibya emyaka​—aliholerwe.” Nomwabine, obuli mundu awithe ngoku ali. Abandi bakanabya nga bamabeghera lhuba emibere mihyaka. Aliwe abandi, bakabya bakakolha ekyosi-kyosi ekyo babya bakakolha n’omuholi, ikyabibukirya olhuholho lhwiwe.

Kwabya inialyaholera omwa aksidenti kutse busana n’obulhwere, angabere isiyulyathwamo. Aliwe hano, mwira waghe mwathwamu erinyisighania. Munayowa ingahemukire kandi wa bbule.”

Ekindi iwanganabya iwunemubakokya okw’iramya lyawu ly’eka.
