Uno Saulu ashinganyekele ngwenyi nahase kuhonesa Kalunga kutesamo vyuma ajinyine hali Ndavichi tahi?

Mwomwo ika twatela kusuuluka navyuma tuli navyo? Mwomwo ika twatela kufwelela ngwetu Yehova mwatuzakama? Kaha tunahase kulizanga ngachilihi havyuma navikasoloka kulutwe?

Tunahase kutachikiza mwalumbunukila mazu kana hakukekesa mazu akulifwanako asonekele, aze atwama hali Samu 23. (Tangenu Samu 23:1-6.) Ndavichi aputukile kusoneka samu kana namazu akwamba ngwavo: “Yehova ikiye Kafunga kami. Kangweshi kukalikiza chuma numba chimweko.” Musamu yosena Ndavichi avulukamo vyuma vyavilemu chikuma vize amulingililile Yehova mwomwo yakumwitavila kupwa Kafunga kenyi. Yehova amutwaminyine “mujijila  jakwoloka,” nakumukafwa mulwola lwamwaza namulwola lwalukalu. Ndavichi atachikijile ngwenyi Yehova hakumuutamisa “kuulilo wamwila wachimbete” kacheshi nakulumbununa nge keshi kumona ukalu mukuyoya chenyiko.

Echi chikiko chishina vatachikijile vaka-Kulishitu vamulikulukaji lyamyaka lyakulivanga vaze vatwaminenga muYuleya. (Tangenu Luka 21:20-24.) Yesu avahuhumwine ngwenyi nakukapwa lwola omu nganda yaYelusalema ‘navakayijingilika kumaswalale che ndo.’ Omu vyuma kana vyasolokele, vatelele “kuputuka kuchinyina kujipili.” Kufuma munganda chakingile myono yavo, oloze vasezele vyuma vyavivulu. Kaposhi Kakutalila umwe kunyima ahanjikile ngwenyi: “Vasezele mande avo namembwavo navikumba vyavo vyamujizuvo. Ngocho vatetekezeleko kwitava kulutwe kuhambakana kala chuma chasolokele nge chachilemu mwomwo vafwelelele nge Yehova nahase kuvakinga nakuvakafwa.”

Eyo, tunahase kukamona makava hashimbu yakuchina. Kumana twatela kulizanga mangana tukalinge vyosena vize vyasakiwa chiwenya muvalingile vakwetu vaze valahile jimbushi kufuma kuYuta.” *

Omwo keshi mukiko alumbunwine Pauluko. Alumbunwine ngwenyi twatela kusuuluka nakala vyuma tuli navyo. (Fwili. 4:12) Echi chikiko chishina alinangwile Paulu.

Yehova Kalunga kenu napunga nayenu hamyaka yoseneyi 40, kaha kamwazenekele chuma numba chimweko.” (Lushi. 2:7) Hamyaka yosena yize 40,  Yehova ahanyinenga vaIsalele mana mangana valyenga. Uvwalo wavo uze vavwalile kufuma muEjipitu kawapulikileko. (Lushi. 8:3, 4) Numba tuhu vatu vamwe kavasuulukile navyuma kanako, oloze Mose anukishilenga vaIsalele ngwenyi vapwile navyuma vyosena vize vasakiwile. Yehova eji kwivwanga kuwaha kachi nge natusuuluka navyuma tuli navyo. Asaka tusakwililenga havyuma eji kutuhananga numba vipwa vyavindende nakuvimona kupwa wana wakufuma kuli ikiye.
