Bino byambo byaambile Paulo, bimwesha kuba’mba twafwainwa kunemeka bya bupe bya bakwetu ne kwambanga pa bintu byawama byo boba. Tumvwa byepi inge kya kuba muntu witusanchila pa byo twauba? Javula kino kitulengela kutwajijila kuyilako palutwe. Byobyo kikala ne ku balongo. Inge twayuka kuba’mba bakwetu ba mu lwitabilo banema, twibakwasha kuba’mba nabo bakoseshe bulunda bwabo na Lesa.

10. Ba ñanyi kikatakata bo twafwainwa kuta muchima?

Kuba bino, kwibakwasha kuyuka’mba twi banemeka bingi. Mu jishinda jikwabo, kubula kuta muchima balongo kwakonsha kwibalengela kizaku kyabo kupwa, ne kuleka kukanamina mingilo mu kipwilo. Baibolo itundaika balongo kuba’mba bafwainwa kukanaminanga mingilo mu kipwilo.—1 Timo. 3:1.

11. (a) Mukulumpe umo mu kipwilo wakwashishe byepi wa kyanyike? (b) Mwafunjilako ka ku kyamwekejile Julien?

¹¹ Ba Ludovic bo batundaikanga bingi kimye kyo bajinga banyike, luno bakulumpe mu kipwilo, baamba kuba’mba: “Inge nata muchima mulongo, ukomenako bingi.” Pa bano balongo paji ne Julien mulongo wa kyanyike wajinga bingi na bumvu, ba Ludovic baambile kuba’mba: “Julien kimye kimo kechi waubanga bintu mu jishinda jafwainwa ne. Bino namwene’mba uji na muchima wawama kabiji ukeba kukwasha bakwabo mu kipwilo. Kechi natele muchima pa byubilo byanji ne, bino natwajijile kutala pa bintu byawama byo aubanga, kabiji nebikileko bingi ku mutundaika.” Pa kupitapo kimye, Julien waikele nkwasho mu kipwilo, kabiji luno ke painiya wa kimye kyonse.

12. Twafwainwa kuba byepi pa kuba’mba tukwashe balongo? Ambai kyakumwenako.

Nangwa kya kuba kimye kimo Petelo wakankelwe kuchinchika, Yesu wamutumbile jizhina ja kuba’mba Kaifasa nangwa amba Petelo jilumbulula kuba’mba jibwe. Kuba bino kwamwesheshenga kuba’mba Petelo ukakosa byonka byakosa jibwe.—Yoa. 1:42.

13, 14. (a) Mako bamutele byepi muchima kwi Banabasa? (b) Nga Alexandre wamwenejilemo byepi byo bamukwashishe ku mukulumpe mu kipwilo? (Monai kipikichala kitanshi.)

¹³ Banabasa naye watele bingi muchima Yoano wajinga na jizhina ja kina Loma ja kuba’mba Mako. (Byu. 12:25) Pa lwendo lwanji lutanshi lwa bumishonale, Paulo ne Banabasa bayile na Mako “wibakwashishengako” mingilo imo. Bino byo bafikile mu Pamfiliya, Mako wanyemene bano balunda nanji. Paulo ne Banabasa, bayile kwakubula Mako ne kupita mu kibunji mwakatazha bingi. (Byu. 13:5, 13) Pa kupitapo kimye, Banabasa waubilepo byepi? Watele muchima  pa byubilo byawama bya kwa Mako, kechi pa byo aubile ne, kabiji wa mukwashishe kwikala mwina Kilishitu wafikilamo. (Byu. 15:37-39) Kuba bino kwakwashishe Mako kwikala kalume wa Yehoba wafikilamo.

Uvuluka kuba’mba byamubujilenga balongo bya mukwasha bingi, waambile’mba: “Byo najinga mwanyike, kyakatazhanga bingi kulomba pa bantu bavula. Bino mukulumpe mu kipwilo, wambujile byo nafwainwa kuba ne kubula kukizhamo kumvwa moyo. Uno mukulumpe wañambilanga kulomba kimye kyonse pa kupwisha kukumana kwa pa kuya mu mwingilo. Pa kupitapo moba moyo ye najinga nanji wapwile.”

15. Paulo wamwesheshe byepi kuba’mba wanemeka balongo?

(Loma 16:3-7, 13) Paulo waambile kuba’mba, Andelonikusa ne Yuniasa bo bajinga bena Kilishitu patanshi aye saka akyangye kwikala mwina Kilishitu. Waambile ne pa kuchinchika kwa bano bena Kilishitu. Kabiji waambanga ne pa bainanji Lufusa pa byo bamulaminenga bulongo.

16. Ñanyi bintu bifumamo inge twatundaika balongo bakyanyike?

Rico walangulukile amba wafwainwa kufikizha myaka 18 pa kuba’mba akatendeke kwingijila Yehoba. Kabiji waumvwanga bingi kutama ku muchima mambo bakwabo ku sukulu bamubanga bingi mukeyu. Ba Frédéric bakulumpe mu kipwilo, bo baambijile kutendeka kufunda nanji, bashimikizha kuba’mba: “Namusanchijile bingi Rico pa mambo a kuchinchika meseko, kabiji na mubujile amba wafwainwa ne kusapwila.” Abino byambo byalutundaiko bya kwashishe bingi Rico kutwajijila kukosesha bulunda bwanji na Lesa, kabiji bya mukwashishe kwikala na bulunda bwawama ne bashanji. Rico wabatizhiwe byo ajinga na myaka 12.

17. (a) Twakonsha kukwasha byepi balongo kwingijila Yehoba? (b) Mishonale umo wakwashishe byepi balongo, kabiji ñanyi bintu byafuminemo?

¹⁷ Inge ke tusanchile balongo pa majashi awama o bamba mu kipwilo nangwa pa kwibikako kwabo, kilengela bakwetu ba mu lwitabilo kutwajijila kwingijila Yehoba kimye kyonse. Ba Syvie, * baingijila pa Betele wa mu France pa  myaka yavula, bamba kuba’mba banyenga bafwainwa kutundaikanga balongo. Kabiji baambile ne kuba’mba banyenga basanta bingi inge bamona balongo na kwibikako. Onkao mambo, “byambo byabo bya lutundaiko bilengela balongo kuyuka bya kuba bintu.” Banungilepo kuba’mba: “Amiwa kusanchila balongo ye mwingilo wami.” (Mana 3:27) Ba Jérôme, bamishonale, ba mu French Guiana, bakwasha balongo bakyanyike bavula kutendeka bumishonale, baambile’mba: “Inge nasanchila balongo bakyanyike pa byo baji kuba mu mwingilo nangwa kwibasanchila pa mikumbu yabo kimye kya kupwila, kibalengela kutwajijila kwikala na kizaku kya kwingijila Lesa.”

18. Kwingila na balongo bakyanyike, kwakonsha kwibakwasha byepi?

¹⁸ Twakonsha kutundaika balongo kupichila mu kwingila nabo. Mukulumpe mu kipwilo wakonsha kwambila mulongo wa kyanyike wayuka bulongo kwingijisha kompyuta kupulinta byambo bimo pa keyala wetu wa jw.org, byakonsha kukwasha bakikulumpe mu kipwilo babula makompyuta. Inge mu bena kuya na kwingila pa Nzubo ya Bufumu, mwafwainwa kwambila balongo bakyanyike kuba’mba muye na kwingijila nabo pamo. Kuba bino kwakonsha kwimukwasha kuyuka bulongo balongo bakyanyike, kabiji mukayuka ne byo mwafwainwa kwibakwasha inge ke muteleke ku byo babena kwamba, kabiji mufuma byawama bingi.—Mana 15:23.

19, 20. Mambo ka o twafwainwa kutundaikilanga balongo?

¹⁹ Yehoba byo atongwele Yoshua kutangijila bena Isalela, waambijile Mosesa “kumukosesha” ne kumukwasha kuba’mba “achinchike.” (Tangai Mpitulukilo ya mu mizhilo 3:28.) Ano moba bantu bavula kuzhokoloka ntanda yonse babena kwiya mu jibumba ja Yehoba. Kubena kukebewa balongo bena Kilishitu bafikilamo kutangijila mu bipwilo. Onkao mambo, bonse mu kipwilo bafwainwa kukwashanga bakatataka kufikilamo kwingila mingilo mu kipwilo. Kino kilengela balongo bamo kutendeka mwingilo wa kimye kyonse ne kufikilamo ‘kufunjisha bakwabo.’—2 Timo. 2:2.

²⁰ Nangwa kya kuba tuji mu kipwilo kyalengwa kala, nangwa jibumba jibena kuya na kukomenako kwikala ke kipwilo, twayai tutundaikenga balongo bakyanyike ne bakatataka kufikilamo kwingila mingilo mu jibumba ja Lesa. Twafwainwa kubanga byonka byuba Yehoba umona byawama mu bakalume banji.
