KANI pa mpindi imo mwalilwepo makosa, cipale mwalukulipusha ati, ‘Kani nkatenduluka?’ Cipale uwa mu cisoolo cenu neli umubyenu mulwele. Popele mungalukulanguka kani akatenduluka. Cili cabe bwino ukufwaya ati fwebo na baabo tutemenwe tube ne mweo uuweme. Mu Baibolo, tulapenda pa bantu abaalwele kabili abaalukufwaya ukwishiba kani bangatendulushiwa. Ku cakubwenako, Imfumu Eyasaya, umwana wakwe Eyabi na Jesebeli, yalukunguluka kani yali ne kutenduluka. Nakabili, Imfumu Benadadi iya ku Shilya yalilwele kabili yalipwishe kani ingatendulushiwa.—2 Imfumu 1:2; 8:7, 8.
2 Baibolo ilatubuula ati mu mpindi sha kunuma, baYawe balukutendulusha abantunshi mu cimpelampela kabili balipyungishe abakushimika babo ukubuusha abantu bambi abafwile. (1 Imfumu 17:17-24; 2 Imfumu 4:17-20, 32-35) Pali bubuno bukumo, abantunshi kani balwala bangalanguluka ati baLesa bangacitapo fimo pakuti batenduluke.
3-5. Kani baYawe na baYesu bali ne makosa akucite’ndo, kabili ni fisa fyakwipusha twakwambaalapo?
3 BaYawe balikwete amakosa akuleta amalwashi pa bantu ne kubapulusha ku malwashi. Baalilengeshe abantu bambi ukulwala, abantu abali koti ni Falo na Milyami. (Ifyakutanga 12:17; Ifyakupenda 12:9, 10; 2 Samweli 24:15) Nakabili, ili abaIshilaeli balekele ukuba aba bucine kuli baYawe, baYawe baliletele “amalwashi onse ne myalo.” (Ndutelonomi 28:58-61) Pa mpindi shimbi, baYawe balilamine abantu babo ku malwashi. (Ifyakufuma 23:25; Ndutelonomi 7:15) Nakabili, balitendulwishepo ne bantu bambi. Ku cakubwenako, ili Jobo alwele kabili ali apepi ne kufwa, balimutendulwishe.—Jobo 2:7; 3:11-13; 42:10, 16.
4 Tuliishi ukweba’ti baYawe bali ne makosa akutendulusha abalwashi. Na baYesu bali ne makosa akutendulusha. Ili baali pa calo, baalitendulwishe abantu abaali ne manata ne ba cinkoninkoni. Nakabili, baalitendulwishe impofu ne bakonaikile. (Pendeni Matayo 4:23, 24; Yoane 9:1-7) Ifi fyonse filalangishe’fintu ifyakuti ubune ifi baYesu bakacita mu calo ca bukumo. Pali yeyo impindi, “injikale taikalabila ati: Ndukulwala.”—Yisaya 33:24.
5 Pano ili twalwalisha, kani tungacetekala ati baYawe na baYesu bangatutendulusha mu cimpelampela? Nakabili, findo tungalangulukapo ili tulukusalulula inshila sha kutendulushiwilwamo?

(Ifyacitilwe 3:2-7; 9:36-42) Ku cakubwenako, balukutendulusha abantu kabili balukulabilila na mu milaka iilekenelekene. (1 AbaKolinto 12:4-11) Pano, koti ni fyefyo Baibolo yalabiile, ifi ifimpelampela fyalishilile. (1 AbaKolinto 13:8) Popele, pali bubuno bukumo tatucetekelapo ati baYawe bangatutendulusha mu cimpelampela neli ukutendulusha baabo tutemenwe.

7 Pano kani mwalwala, baYawe bakalukumukosheni ne kumofweniko, koti ni fyefyo baacitile ku bapyungishi babo aba kale. Imfumu Dafidi yalilembele ati: “Alishucile uyo ulanguluka abapengele: BaYawe bakamupulusha pa kasuba ka bumbifi. BaYawe bakamulama, akalukwikele ne mweo.” (Amasamo 41:1, 2) Ukuba, Dafidi taalwilepo ati umuntu umuweme kani alukulangulukilako abapengele ninshi takafwapo. Pano baYawe bangamofwako shani uyo umuntu umuweme? Dafidi alibuulishishe ati: “BaYawe bakamwimya pa bulo bwa kulemuka: Mulaanshika bwino ubulo bwakwe pa bulwele bwakwe.” (Amasamo 41:3) BaYawe baliishi bwino ifyakukatasha ifi abantu babo balukupitamo kabili tababalubako. Bangabakosha ne kubapeela amano. Nakabili, baYawe balipangile umubili wa muntu mu nshila ya kweba’ti ulukulitendulusha.
8. Ukwelelwa na Amasamo 41:4, findo Dafidi alombele kuli baYawe?
8 Mu Amasamo 41, Dafidi alatubuulishisha na pa mpindi ili alwalishe, ili anakile, ne kubombomana makosa. Cilaboneka koti pali ilya mpindi Abisalomi, umwana wakwe, alukufwaya ukumupoka ubufumu. Dafidi alilwele ica kweba’ti takwetepo ne
makosa akuciicila Abisalomi. Alishibile ati alukupita muli aya amakatasho pakuti pa kubifya acitile na Batasheba. (2 Samweli 12:7-14) Pano findo acitilepo? Alitembeele ati: “Mwe baYawe, muncitile’nkumbu: Mubushe umutima wanji; pakuti nabifya kuli mwebo.” (Amasamo 41:4) Dafidi alishibile ati baYawe baalimufitulukile kabili alicetekele ati bakumofwako mu kulwala kwakwe. Pano kani Dafidi alicetekele ati baYawe bali ne kumutendulusha mu cimpelampela?9. (a) Findo baYawe baacitiile Imfumu Esikaya? (b) Findo Dafidi acetekele ukufuma kuli baYawe?
9 Fya cine ukweba ati shimbi impindi baYawe balukusalululapo ukutendulusha abantunshi. Ku cakubwenako, ili Imfumu Esikaya yali apepi ne kufwa, baYawe balimutendulwishe. Esikaya alipitilishe ukulukuli ne mweo pa myaka 15. (2 Imfumu 20:1-6) Pano Dafidi tacetekelepo ukumutendulusha mu cimpelampela. Sombi alicetekele ati baLesa bangamofwako mu nshila intu imo bangofwelamo “uyo ulanguluka abapengele.” Pakuti Dafidi ali pa bulunda ubuweme na baYawe, alibalombele ukumukosha ne kumulama ili alwele. Nakabili, alilombele ati atenduluke. Na fwebo tungalomba baYawe ukutofwako mu nshila intu imo.—Amasamo 103:3.
10. Findo fyacitikiile Tilofimo na Epafilodito, kabili ifi filatusambishe’ndo?
10 Mu mpindi ya basambile ba kutanga, talipo baKlistu bonse abalukutendulushiwa mu cimpelampela, nangaba’ti intangishi Paulu ne baKlistu bambi balikwete amakosa akutendulusha. (Pendeni Ifyacitilwe 14:8-10.) Paulu alitendulwishe bawishibo Populyo abalukutendo’mubili kabili abali ne bulwashi bumbi ubukateshe. Paulu ‘alitembele, ne kutintilapo ne minwe yakwe pali bo, ne kubabusha.’ (Ifyacitilwe 28:8) Pano Paulu tatendulwishepo bonse baabo aishibile. Paulu alukupyunga na Tilofimo uwali icibusa cakwe mu mulimo wakwe uwa bumishonali. (Ifyacitilwe 20:3-5, 22; 21:29) Ili Tilofimo alwele, Paulu tamutendulwishepo. Pakuti pali fyefyo, Tilofimo alilekele ukupyunga na Paulu muli bumishonali ne kwikala mu Mileto pakweba’ti atenduluke. (2 Timote 4:20) Na cimbi icibusa cakwe Paulu ni Epafilodito. Alilwele kabili ali apepi ne kufwa. Pano Baibolo tailabilapo ati Paulu alimutendulwishe.—AbaFilipoi 2:25-27, 30.
FINDO MWELELWE UKUSUMINA?
11, 12. Findo ifi twishi pali Luku, kabili alyofweleko shani Paulu?
11 Luku ali mulaye kabili naye alukupyunga na Paulu. (Ifyacitilwe 16:10-12; 20:5, 6; AbaKolosai 4:14) Kani Paulu na bambi aba alukupyunga nabo mu mulimo wa bumishonali balwala, Luku alukubofwako. (AbaGalatya 4:13) Koti ni fyefyo baYesu balabiile, “abalukutenda ebafwayo’mulaye.”—Luku 5:31.
12 Luku taalipo muntu lukoso uwatemenwe ukofwako bambi. Alisambilile ifya kuba umulaye. Baibolo taibuulishishapo umupunda neli impindi ili asambilile ifya kuba umulaye. Pano ilabuulishisha ati Luku alibuulile Paulu ukusekelako abaKolosai. Popele, cilukuboneka ati Luku alisambilile ifya kuba umulaye pa sukuulu ilyali mu Laodikeya, umushi uwapalamine ne mushi wa Kolosai. Nakabili, ili Luku alukulemba ibuuku lyakwe ne lya Ifyacitilwe, alipyungishe amashiwi ao abalaye bapyungisha. Pakuti ali mulaye, alilembele amalyashi aengi aalabila pali fyefyo baYesu balukutendulusha abantu.

Fya cine, fimbi ifi bangatubuula fingapyunga lukoso bwino. Ku cakubwenako, Paulu alibuulile Timote ukulukunwako utufaina tunini. Timote ali ne bukatasho bwa munda.MULUKULI ABACENJELE
14, 15. (a) Bantu ba kuba shani twelelwe ukucenjelako? (b) Findo tungasambililako ku mashiwi tusangana pa Ifisimpi 14:15?
14 Fwense tulafwaya ukuba ne mweo uweme pakweba’ti tulukulitemwesha ne

Tungalipusha ati: ‘Balabila ati ifi ifyakulya na uyu umuyanda fyalyofweleko bambi, pano ndiishi shani ati mu cinenene fyalibofweleko? Nangaba’ti filyofweleko bambi, ningeshiba shani ati na nebo fingangofwako? Kani ndyelelwe ukufwailisha bwino ne kwipushako abasambilile makosa pa fya kushilisha ubukatasho bwanji?’—Ndutelonomi 17:6.

16 Ili tulukusalulula inshila ya kwishibilamo ubulwashi tuli nabo neli inshila ya kutendulushiwilwamo, tulyelelwe ukuba ne ‘milangwe,’ neli ukuba ne mano. (Tito 2:12) Ici cicindeme makosa makosa kani inshila ya kwishibilamo ubulwashi tatungayumfwapo. Kani uyo umuntu tulukwipusha angatubuula ifi iyi inshila ipyunga? Kani ifi alukubuulishisha filukumfwanika ifyensu? Kani abalaye ba ku cipatela nabo balisumiine ati iyo inshila ingofwako abantu? (Ifisimpi 22:29) Cipale umuntu amubuuleni ati kuli inshila ya kutendulushiwilwamo iya bukumo kabili abalaye tabangeshiba ifili fyonse pali yeyo inshila. Pano, kuliko ifili fyonse ifilangisha ati iyo inshila ingapyunga? Bambi bangatubuula inshila sha kutendulushiwilwamo ishisankenemo ne kupyungisha amakosa amipashi. Ifi fingatuletela amakasho. Mulukwanuka ati baLesa balatucenjesha ukubulo’kupyungisha inshila ishisendeme pa kutendulushiwa.—Ndutelonomi 18:10-12; Yisaya 1:13.
