Loli, imyaka iyakupululila 2,700 yo yendapo, ababombi aba Chala bakitizyiwanga ukuti “bakaboni” bache. (Yesaya 43.10-12, nwt) Ukufuma kwisinda mpaka 1931, tukamanyikwanga ukuti Bamanyili ba Bayibolo. Choni cho tukanda ukwitizyiwa Bakaboni ba Yehova?

Likwimila u Chala witu. Kale po Ibayibolo likasimbiwanga, izina ilya Chala, Yehova, likaghiwanga mu malo amasawuzandi aminji. Mu Mabayibolo aminji gho abantu basanuzya, batakusimbamo izina ilya Chala, loli bakusimbamo amapalo aghakuti Mwene pamo Chala. U Chala uwabwanaloli akivumbula mwene kwa Mozesi ni zina lyakuti Yehova. U Chala akati: “Ili lyo lizina lyane bwila na bwila.” (Ukusoka 3.15, nwt) Apa, u Chala akiyipambanisya ku bachala ababumyasi. Swe bakuhoboka ukumanyikwa ni zina ilya Chala.

Likulingannya izya mbombo yitu. Ukwanda kale nkani, abantu bakulangizya ukuti bali nu lusubilo mwa Yehova. Uwabwandilo akaba we Abelu. Kukaba sona abakaboni abanji, u Nowa, u Abulahamu, u Sala, u Mozesi, u Devedi, na bamwabo. Bosi aba bali mu “chilundilo ichikulu nkani icha bakaboni.” (Aba Hebeli 11.4–12.1) Ngati mo umuntu akumwimila ubukaboni uwamwabo ku khoti, nuswe bulo tukumwimila ubukaboni u Chala nu kunena ubwanaloli bwache.

Tukukonka u Yesu. Ibayibolo likumwitizya “umusubiliwa, sona nu kaboni uwanaloli.” (Ubuvumbuli 3.14) U Yesu akati ‘akalifumusya’ izina ilya Chala nukubukilila ‘ukusimikizya’ ubwanaloli bwache. (Yohani 17.26; 18.37) Cho chifukwa bosi bo bakumukonka u Yesu mubwanaloli babaghiye ukwitizyiwa ni zina lya Yehova sona nukulivumbula. Ivi vyo Abakaboni ba Yehova bakubomba.
