Bino kimye kyonse inge nalomba kwi Shetu wa mwiulu aye Yehoba wantekeneshanga. Bimye bimo nakankalwanga kumubuula bulongo byo mbena kumvwa ku muchima, bino aye wayukanga byo naumvwanga ku muchima.

Nangwa kya kuba makatazho kechi apwa ne, Yehoba ukemutekenesha pa kuba’mba mwikale na mutende wa mu milanguluko.

KUJILA NA MAMBO A KWIMWALUKAMO
11. Makatazho apichilemo Davida amulengejile kumvwa byepi ku muchima?

13 Bintu byo tufunjilako. Nanchi muji na bulanda na mambo a kuba’mba muntu ye mwaketekela wimukozhezhe ku muchima nangwa kwimwalukamo nyi? Kampe muji na bulanda na mambo a kuba’mba bulunda bwenu na muntu ye mwakebelenga kusongola nangwa kusongolwako bwapwa nangwa masongola enu apwa kwakubula kuketekela. Nangwa muntu ye mwatemwa waleka kwingijila Yehoba. Mulongo wajinga na mukazhi waubile bukende ne kumunyema, waambile’mba: “Kechi nayukile’mba kintu kya iwe mutundu kyakonsha kummwekela ne. Najinga bingi na bulanda, kuzhingila ne kwilengulula.” Inge bemukozha ku muchima na mambo a kwimwalukamo, yukai’mba Yehoba kechi ukemusha bunke ne. Uno Mulongo waambile’mba: “Bantu kechi bakonsha kutwajijila kwikala bakishinka kwi atweba ne, pakuba twafwainwa kuketekela’mba Yehoba ukatwajijila kwikala wa kishinka kwi atweba. Nangwa tukapite mu bintu bya mutundu ka, aye ukatwajijila kwitukwasha. Kechi ukalekelela bakalume banji ba kishinka ne.” (Sala. 37:28) Kabiji vulukainga ne kuba’mba kafwako muntu wakonsha kwitutemwa byonka bitutemwa Yehoba ne. Nangwa kya kuba kitukola bingi ku muchima inge betwalukamo ku muntu ye twaketekela, bino Yehoba utwajijila kwitutemwa ne kwituta muchima. (Loma 8:38, 39) Kishinka kyo twafwainwa kuvulukanga ke kya kuba’mba Shetu wa mwiulu ukatwajijila kwitutemwa nangwa kya kuba bakwetu betuba byatama.
14. Kinembelo kya Salamo 34:18 kitutundaika byepi?
14 Inge muji na bulanda na mambo a kwimwalukamo, byambo byaambile Davida biji pa Salamo 34:18 byakonsha kwimutekenesha bingi. (Tangai.) Buku umo waamba’mba byambo bya kuba’mba “balajika michima,” byamba pa “bantu balanguluka’mba bwikalo bwabo kechi bukawamapo ne.” Yehoba ukwasha byepi bantu balanguluka bino na mambo a bintu byatama byo bapichilemo? Byonkatu biji nsemi wa butemwe utekenesha mwananji uji na bulanda, Yehoba naye “uji kwipi” ne atweba. Witumvwina lusa kabiji winengezha kwitukwasha inge betwalukamo. Ukebesha kwitutekenesha inge ketulanguluke amba kechi twanema ne. Kabiji witulaya bintu byawama bingi bitukwasha kuchinchika makatazho o tupitamo pa kino kimye.—Isa. 65:17.

16. Yehoba wakwashishe byepi Hezekiya?
16 Yehoba byo aumvwine lulombelo lwa kwa Hezekiya ne kumona mipolo yanji, wamumvwijile lusa ne kumwambila’mba: “Naumvwa lulombelo lobe. Namona mipolo yobe. Nsakukubuka.” Yehoba waingijishe Isaya kumubuula’mba wamunungilako moba a bumi bwanji kabiji amba ukapokolola Yelusalema ku bena Asilya.—2 Mfu. 20:4-6.
17. Yehoba witutekenesha byepi inge tubena kukolwa kikola kikatampe? (Salamo 41:3) (Monai ne kipikichala.)

Baibolo witubuula’mba “Shanji bya lusa kabiji Lesa wa lutekenesho lonse” uketutekeneshanga mu meseko etu onse. (2 Ko. 1:3, 4) Lelo jino, kechi twafwainwa kuketekela Yehoba kufumyapo makatazho etu onse ne, bino twafwainwa kuketekela’mba uketukwashanga. (Tangai Salamo 41:3.) Yehoba wingijisha mupashi wanji wazhila kwitupa bulume, maana ne mutende wa mu milanguluko pa kuba’mba tuchinchike. (Maana 18:14; Fili. 4:13) Kabiji witupa luketekelo lwitutekenesha lwa kuba’mba kulutwe kafwako muntu ukakolwanga ne.—Isa. 33:24.
18. Ñanyi kinembelo kimutekenesha inge mubena kupita mu lukatazho lukatampe? (Monai kakitenguluzha ka kuba’mba “ Binembelo Bitutekenesha Inge Tubena Kujila na Mambo a Makatazho.”)

Inge tuji na bijikila, byambo bya Yehoba biji mu Baibolo biketutekeneshanga ne kwitukwasha kwikala na mutende wa mu milanguluko.

Nangwa kya kuba javula kechi twikala na bulume bwa kupwisha makatazho o tupitamo ne, kino kyepelo kinkwasha kuyuka’mba Yehoba wakonsha kwitupa mutende wa mu milanguluko witukwasha kubula kulukusha muchima.” Nanchi kujipo kinembelo kimutekenesha inge mubena kupita mu makatazho ashinkisha bulaka amweka nobe kechi akonsha kupwa nenyi?
19. Ñanyi bintu byawama biji kulutwe byo tubena kutengela?
