Mwahandika athi: ‘Wuleke erihithana wuleke eriaghalirwa! Siwuhaghukaye omuthima, likaletha erikolha ebibi lisa.’ (Esyonyimbo 37:8) Enzumwa ngulhu y’erileka erihithana, kutse erithendikwa ekinigha, ly’eryanza erigherererya Yehova. “Syali thuliha ngoku ebibi byethu n’amalholho wethu bitholere” aliwe akathughanyira.

Mulembe-lembe akuwathikaye wuthoke erikanirania na mulikyenyu. W’ibuke ngoku mughalha wenyu nayu ni munywani wa Yehova. (Esyonyimbo 25:14) Nyamuhanga amwanzire. Yehova akatsomana banywani biwe omwa lhukeri kandi anzire nethu ekyo ikyathwanakolha. (Emisyo 15:23; Matayo 7:12; Abanya Kolosai 4:6) Ekyakabiri, lengekanaya ndeke okwa bya wukayabwira mulikyenyu. Isiwalengekanaya wuthi alyakighenderera. Obundi alyabulikira iniamabirisobya kutse imuwuthe muyitheghererya. Ibya iwangana ligha ngoku nawu wanganabya imuwukana leka ikyabya.

Hira mulikyenyu y’omwa misabe. Saba Yehova amutsumule n’erikuwathikya erihwerya amalengekania wawu w’okwa mibere yiwe mibuya. Wangana kakasya ngoku Yehova akendi tsemera akaghalha akawukahiraho erisondekania obuholho na mulikyenyu, nayu omunywani wa Nyamuhanga.

¹⁷ Abandi bakayowa nga sibatholere erikolera Yehova kundi babirikolha ebibi ebikalire.  Eriyowa nga thuli kw’olhubanza lyangana thughunza kw’obuholho, etseme, n’akaghalha.

Muwanyisuyira omwa musibo wosi n’omwa kiro kyosi.” Eky’obutseme, Dawudi mwathunga obuthubaha obw’erikolha ebya Yehova anzire abaghombe biwe ibakolha. Mwahandika athi: “Neryo munakukangya ebibi byaghe, nawu muwabuyira embugha y’ebibi byaghe.” (Esyonyimbo 32:3-5) Wamabya iwabirikolha erilholho erikalire, Yehova anayitheghekire erikughanyira. Anzire iniakuwathikya erisuba-subania obughuma bwawu nayu. Aliwe wutholere iwaligha obuwathikya obw’akakuha erilhabira omwa basyakulhu. (Emisyo 24:16; Yakobo 5:13-15) Neryo siwulindiriraye!

Mwabugha athi: “Ingye indi muke okwa bakwenda bosi, kandi sinyitholere eryahulhwa mwa mukwenda kusangwa mun’endererya ekanisa ya Nyamuhanga.” Nibya mw’ongerako athi: ‘Nikwa nyiri ngoku nyine busana n’olhukogho lhwa Nyamuhanga.’ (1 Abanya Korinto 15:9, 10) Yehova abya inianasi ngoku Paulo syahikene. Aliwe mwaligha Paulo omwa mibere eyo, kandi mwanza Paulo aminye ekyo. Wamabya kwenene iwukayowa nabi busana n’ebya wakolire kandi iwabiribibwira Yehova, n’abasyakulhu kyamayithaghisibwa, omo kwenene Yehova iniakendi kughanyira. Ligha ngoku Yehova abirikughanyira kandi ligha erighanyira liwe!​—Isaya 55:6, 7.
