Yehoba ye Ñanyi?
Mukumbu wa mu Baibolo
Yehoba ye Lesa wa kine kabiji ye mwine mwina Baibolo. Kabiji ye Mulenga walengele bintu byonsetu. (Lumwekesho 4:11) Ngauzhi Abalahama, ngauzhi Mosesa ne Yesu bapopwelanga Yehoba. (Ntendekelo 24:27; Kulupuka 15:1, 2; Yoano 20:17) Aye kechi Lesa wa muntu umo ne, bino ke Lesa wa bonse “pano pa ntanda ponse.”—Salamo 47:2.
Jizhina ja Yehoba Lesa bejilumbulula mu Baibolo. (Kulupuka 3:15; Salamo 83:18) Jino jizhina jafuma ku kyambo kya Kihebelu kilumbulula’mba “wikela monse,” kabiji bashayuka bavula bamba’mba jino jizhina jilumbulula’mba “Wikela Monse mo Akebela.” Byalumbulula jino jizhina byayilamo bingi, mambo Yehoba ye Mulenga kabiji ufikizha milaye yanji yonse. (Isaya 55:10, 11) Baibolo witukwasha kuyuka bulongo biji Yehoba kikatakata kyubilo kyanji kikatampe kya butemwe.—Kulupuka 34:5-7; Luka 6:35; 1 Yoano 4:8.
Jizhina ja Yehoba ke kyambo kya Kikaonde kyo batuntulula kufuma mu Kihebelu kulumbulula jizhina ja Lesa. Mu Kihebelu jinembwa na bisopelo bina יהוה (YHWH) bitelwa’mba Tetragrammaton. Kechi kyayukanyikwa byo batelanga jizhina ja Lesa mu Kihebelu kya kala ne. Nangwa byonkabyo, jizhina ja kuba’mba “Yehoba” batendekele kala kwijingijisha mu mulaka wa Kizungu. Patanshitu jatainwe mu Baibolo wa mu 1530 watuntulwile William Tyndale. a
Ñanyi kintu kyalengela kubula kuyuka bya kutela jizhina ja Lesa mu Kihebelu kya kala?
Kihebelu kya kala banembanga byambo kwa kubula bisopelo bikwasha kutela byambo bulongo. Ubena kutanga wafwainwe kubikamo bisopelo bikwasha kutela byambo bulongo. Kimye kyo bapwishishe kunemba Binembelo bya Kihebelu (“Lulayañano lwa Kala”), Bayudea bavula balangulukanga’mba kizhila kutongola Lesa pa jizhina. Pa kutanga inge bataana kinembelo paji jizhina ja Lesa, bapingakenyangapo byambo nabiji “Nkambo” nangwa “Lesa.” Mu kuya kwa kimye, ino milanguluko yatama byo yakumbene, bantu balubilemo byo batongolanga jizhina ja Lesa. b
Bamo balanguluka’mba jino jizhina bejitongolanga’mba “Yahweh,” kabiji bakwabo balangulukilanga mukwabo. Mu Muvungilo wa Kalunga Kafwa muji lubaji lumo lwa buku wa Bena Levi mu Kingiliki mo batuntulula jizhina ja Lesa amba Iao. Kununga pa kino kyambo, banemba Kingiliki ba kala nabo baambanga’mba jatelwanga’mba Iae, I·a·beʹ, ne I·a·ou·eʹ, bino kechi twayuka bakalume ba Lesa ba kala byo bejitongolanga jino jizhina mu Kihebelu ne. c
