Iwe wutholere eribana olhukengerwa, n’erisikya, n’obuthoki, kusangwa wahangika ebindu byosi kandi busana n’erisonda lyawu mubyabyaho.” (Eribisulirwa 4:11) Kundi Yehova yuwahangika ebindu byosi, yuwithe ehamuli y’erithabalha okwa bindu byosi, mbulha biri elhubulha kutse okwa kihugho.

4. Busana naki obughabe bw’eriyithwiramu sibulithuha ehamuli y’eriyisamambulha oku Yehova?

Obughabe bw’eriyithwiramu bukaha omundu y’ehamuli y’eriyithwiramu okwa myatsi butsira ehamuli ey’erithwamu eriyisamambulha oku Yehova, Omuhangiki.

Aliwe iyo yukahira h’olhulengo lhw’ekitholere eribya ikihikire. Kundi esyonzira sya Yehova sihikene, mwaha abandu b’ebihano. Omuhandiki w’esyonyimbo mwabugha athi: “Obwami bwawu buhimbire okwa kibanza ky’erithunganene.” Neryo busana n’ekyo, obuli kihano, omusingyi, kutse erithwamu erikalhua oku Yehova likabya irihikire kandi iryuwene. (Esyonyimbo 89:14; 119:128) Sitani mwabugha athi Yehova si muthabali mubuya. Kandi ibbwa, Sitani syanga letha obulingirirania omwa kihugho.

6. Ni nzumwa yahi eyikaleka Yehova iniabya iyuwithe ehamuli y’erithabalha?

Anasi ndeke emikolere y’omubiri w’omundu kandi anasi n’erilhamya obulhwere bwosi-bwosi obwanga hika kugho. Angana subya n’oyuholire n’erikakirya ebitsinduli eribya.

Yehova musa yuwithe amenge w’eriletha obuholho omwa kihugho kyosi. (Isaya 2:3, 4; 54:13) Kiri ngoku omukwenda Paulo anabugha athi: “Kwenene Nyamuhanga awithe amenge wosi n’eriminya lyosi! Sihali mundu wangaminya erisoha liwe! Sihali mundu wangaminya esyonzira siwe!”​—Abanya Roma 11:33.

Athutsomene kwilhaba ngoku thwanga yitsomana. Sitani akabugha athi Yehova ak’ima abandu b’ebibuya, aliwe ayo ni mabehi. Kandi nibya Nyamuhanga mwahayo Mughalha wiwe nuku thwanga thunga amaha w’erisyabyaho kera na kera.​—Soma Esyonyimbo 84:11; Abanya Roma 8:32.

Kandi ekilengire ekyo, mughalha wa Ruta, mwabya mughuma w’okwa bathatha-kulhu ba Masiya. Kandi Yehova mwalhangira athi omwatsi owahambire oku Ruta akahandikawa omwa Biblia, omwa kitabu ekiri omwa lina liwe.

Amaaka n’obutseme biri aho wiwe.” (1 Emyatsi y’Emigulu 16:7, 27) Omuhandiki w’esyonyimbo ya Etana mwahandika athi: “Obutseme buli n’abandu abakakuramaya omwa syonyimbo. Bakabyaho, iwe Omwami Mukulhu omwa kyakakalha embere syawu. Bakatsema busana nawu omwa musibo wosi  kandi bakakupipa busana n’obubuya bwawu.”​—Esyonyimbo 89:15, 16.

Akathuha bingyi, kwilhaba n’obwagha bwethu. Ekyosi-kyosi ekyo Yehova angabugha athi thukole, thukabya in’ithwe thukendi ghasirwa.

Aliwe iyo iniakabahira mw’omuhwa w’erikolha ekihikire. (Abanya Roma 12:1; Abanya Efeso 4:1; Filemono 8-10) Omw’ikolha ekyo, Paulo mwagherererya Yehova.
