Ayile nakwambulwila munganda yaSamaliya muze vatu vapwile nakusakiwa kwivwa mujimbu wamwaza.—Mat 10:5; Vil 8:1, 5.

Kahechi chalingishile vatu vavavulu vetavile mujimbu wamwaza ‘nakulinunga hamwe.’—Vili. 8:6-8.

¹⁶ Shipilitu yaKalunga yatwaminyinyine cheka Fwilipu kuya nakwambulwila kunganda yaKesaliya naAzotu kuze kwavulile vaka-mafuchi eka. (Vili. 8:39, 40) Omu mwahichile myaka 20 kufuma haze ayile nakwambulwila kuSamaliya, chiyoyelo chenyi chalumukile cheka. Apwile jino hichisemi ngocho atwamine munganda yimwe nakuzachilamo mulimo wakwambulula chakuzeneka kutambwojoka ngana muze alingilenga hakavanga. Chamokomoko nakwalumuka chavyuma, Fwilipu atwalileho lika kwambulula natwima. Kahechi chalingishile Yehova amukisule natanga yenyi.—Vili. 21:8, 9.

Chakutalilaho, omu ndumbwetu Osborne napuwenyi Polite vamuSouth Africa vafumine haMbetele, vashinganyekele ngwavo navawana washi milimo nazuvo yakutwama. Oloze Osborne ambile ngwenyi: “Chaluvinda katwawanyine washi milimo ngana muze twashinganyekeleko.” Puwenyi nawa ambile ngwenyi: “Chikupu vene, wapwile hiukalu waunene mwomwo mwahichile tukweji vatatu chakuzeneka kuwana milimo, kaha nawa katwapwile najimbongoko.”

¹⁹ Vyakutalilaho tunashimutwila vinatukafwe tutachikize ngwetu, kachi nge natuzatanga nangolo nakufwelela Yehova halwola navyalumuka vyuma, kaha natupwa vakuunda. (Tangenu Mika 7:7.) Nachitukafwa nawa tumone nganyo yeji kufumanga hakumona vyuma mujila yamwaza. Polite uze tunavuluka lyehi ambile ngwenyi: “Kutulweza tufume haMbetele nakuya kwimbo chinangukafwe ngumone ovyo chapwila chachilemu kupendamina hali Yehova numba nge chiyoyelo chinakaluhwa. Oholyapwa jino ngunatungu usoko wakukola naYehova.”

Ambile ngwenyi: “Ngwalinangula jino ngwami kachi nge ngunahombo, kaha ngwatela kulombanga kuli Yehova nakwecha kulizakamina. Ngunalinangula nawa nge, kachi nge nangulwezanga Yehova ukalu wami wosena, kaha nachikangukafwa nakulutwe.”

Oholyapwa jino veji kwambanga ngwavo: “Cheseko kana chinatukafwe tumone numba nge tukwechi lufwelelo lwakukola nangolo jakutukafwa tutwaleho lika kupwa vakumika mulwola lwalukalu nyi chiku. Oholyapwa jino twapwa vakuwahilila.”

22. Uno kuzata nangolo nge vyuma vinalumuka mukuyoya nachitukafwa ngachilihi?

²² Kachi nge kuyoya chenu chinalumuka pamo mwomwo yavyuma vanalumunako muliuka, chipwe mwomwo yamisongo, chipwe ukalu wamutanga, kaha mwatela kwanuka ngwenu Yehova mwamizakama nakumikafwa halwola lwakutamo. (Hep 4:16; Petu. 1, 5:6, 7) Shikaho, oholyapwa twalenuho lika kuzata nangolo numba nge vyuma vinalumuka. Lombenunga nakupendamina hali Yehova. Kulinga ngocho nachimikafwa mupwenga vakuunda chamokomoko nakwalumuka chavyuma mukuyoya chenu.
