Kutwala muze, Mwangana Ndavichi alongesele vaLevi navapilishitu mumazavu.

Kakweshi muka-Kulishitu mwasaka kupwa namuchima wakulikanga ngana uze apwile nawo Ndeyotelefweko. (Tangenu WaYowano 3, 9, 10.) Twatela kulihulisa ngwetu: ‘Uno ngweji kukolezezanga vakwetu kushipilitu tahi? Kutala ngweji kwitavila washi jindongi nakukundwiza vandumbwetu vaze vali nakutwaminyina tahi?’

(Chimo. 1, 3:4, 5) Lizavu lyavakulwane nakalama wakujinguluka veji kukekesanga vyuma vyamuVisoneka vize  vatela kutesamo vaka-kuzachila navakulwane.—Chimo. 1, 3:1-10, 12, 13; Petu. 1, 5:1-3.

Vatu vamwe ‘kavapwile nakuzata chipwe chachindendeko, oloze vapwile nakulingisa muvyuma vize kavyapwile vyavoko.’ Vavahuhumwine kuli vakulwane, oloze vakiko kavevwililileko.

Paulu alwezele vakulwane vahane muka-ujila kuli Satana, kulumbununa kumufumisa muchikungulwilo. Hakusaka chikungulwilo chipwenga chitoma, vakulwane vatelele kufumisamo “chimbalwila.” (Koli. 1, 5:1, 5-7, 12) Nge natukundwiza vyuma vanakase vakulwane vyakufumisa mutu muchikungulwilo uze nahono kupihilila nakwalumuka, kaha natulingisa chikungulwilo chipwenga chitoma, nakulingisa nawa uze mutu apihilile nakwalumuka nakulomba Yehova amukonekele.

Kalunga ahanjikile vyuma mwakalingila vatu jenyi ngwenyi: “Nangukavahaka hamwe nge mikoko mulimba, nge utanga wamikoko kuulilo wavo.” (Mika 2:12) Kaha nawa Yehova ahanjikile kuhichila muli kapolofweto Zefwanyiya ngwenyi: “Nangukalumuna lilimi lyavatu veka naveka likapwe lilimi litoma [muchano wamuVisoneka], mangana vosena vakasanyikenga halijina lyaYehova, mangana vakalinunge hamwe nakunguzachila [chipwe “nakungulemesa,” kwinyikila chamwishi].” (Zefwa. 3:9) Tweji kwivwanga kuwaha chikuma kuzachila Yehova hamwe mukulinunga.

17. Vakulwane vatela kulinga ika numba chikungulwilo chipwenga chitoma nakulinunga?

¹⁷ Hakusaka chikungulwilo chipwenga chitoma nakulinunga, vakulwane vatela kutalanga washi hamilonga yinasoloka muchikungulwilo. Paulu atachikijile ngwenyi zangi yaKalunga kayatala mutu kumesoko, kaha nawa keshi kuliula milongako.

Omu mwahichile tukweji vavandende, avasonekelele mukanda wenyi wamuchivali wakuvasangejeka mwomwo vakulwane vakavangijile vyuma avalwezele.

Evi vikiko vyalingishile Paulu ahanjike ngwenyi mujimbu wamwaza vawambulwile “kuvyuma vyakutenga vyosena vize vyatwama mwishi yamelu.” (Kolo. 1:23) Makumbi ano, vyuma ajina Kalunga vali nakuvyambulula kuvatu vosena hano hamavu kuhichila muvatu vaze valinunga nakuzachila hamwe. Chihande chinakavangizaho nachihana unjiho ukwavo wakusolola nge vatu kana vamona Mbimbiliya kupwa yayilemu kaha vafwila kuvumbika Mwata Wakulitulaho Yehova.—Samu 71:15, 16.
