Iyi vasi yatena wanyi Bayibolu yayeni, ilaña yatena mazu onenawu ekala muBayibolu. (Tañenu 1 Petulu 1:24, 25.) Hela chochu, Bayibolu yinateli kutukwasha sweje-e neyi tudi nayu mwidimi ditwahoshaña. Antu atañaña Izu daNzambi eluka chumichi. Antu akweti nyichima yayovu atwalekelihu kubalumuna maBayibolu nikuyihana kudi antu hadi yaaka yayivulu hela chakwila chadiña chapela wanyi.

Antu amakwawu atoñojokaña nawu atela kudiza chiHeberu nichiGiriki chahosheleñawu kunyima hakwila nawu atañileña Bayibolu mwidimi muyayisonekeliwu. Hela chochu, chumichi hichinateli kuyikwashaku. * Twasakilaña muloña Bayibolu anayibalumuni yamukuma hela yachibalu kwakwihi namadimi 3,000. Mwamweni Yehova nakukeña “akwanyuza yejima, akwanyichidi yejima” adizi Izu dindi. (Tañenu Chimwekeshu 14:6) Komana chumichi kwila chiyikwasha kuswina kwakwihi naNzambi wakukeña nawa wabula chaambu nehi?—Yilw. 10:34.

5. Chumanyi chaletesheli Bayibolu yaKing James Version kuzatika nankashi?

Diyi Bayibolu yaChizungu yadiña nakuzatishawu nankashi antu amavulu. * Bayibolu yaKing James yazatishili nankashi wanyi ijina daNzambi.

Ichi chinakumwekesha nawu King James Version yelukili ijina daNzambi hidatela kwikala munyikanda yaChitiyañenu Chachiha.

6. Muloñadi chitwasakililaña haBayibolu yaNew World Translation?

Komana twazañalalaña wanyi hakwikala naBayibolu yikweti mazu itunakuzatisha makonu yaNew World Translation of the Holy Scriptures? Iyi Bayibolu ayibalumuna yamukuma hela yachibalu mumadimi akubadika ha 150, dichi antu amavulu makonu adi nayu. Mazu adimu, apela kutiya nawa anakukwasha Izu daNzambi kutushika hanyichima. (Mas. 119:97) Chuma chabadika, New World Translation yafuntisha ijina daNzambi hidatelela muNsona.

7, 8. (a) Muloñadi aYudeya mavulu muyaaka nkulakaji yamuchisatu B.C.E chabulileñawu kutiya Nsona jachiHeberu? (b) Septuagint yachiGiriki hichumanyi?

Chuma chamwekeni kunyima chikutukwasha kuwana ñakwilu. Nyikanda yakutachikila 39 yamuBayibolu ayisonekeli kudi aIsarela, hela aYudeya. Diwu antu ‘iyashililiwu mazu ajila, aNzambi.’ (Rom. 3:1, 2) Hela chochu, kushika muyaaka yamunkulakaji yamuchisatu B.C.E., aYudeya amavulu atiyileña wanyi chiHeberu. Muloñadi? Muloña Alesanderi Muneni watachikili kuyuula aGiriki hanyima yakuyishinda. (Dan. 8:5-7, 20, 21) Chatachikiliyi kuyuula matuña amavulu, antu amavulu atachikili kuhosha chiGiriki, kubombelahu niaYudeya apalañenenimu. Chelili aYudeya amavulu atachiki kuhosha chiGiriki, atachikili kukañanya kutiyishisha Nsona yachiHeberu. Elilidi?

⁸ Kwakwihi nayaaka yamuma 250 B.C.E., nyikanda yatachi yitanu yamuBayibolu ayibalumwini kufuma muchiHeberu nakuyitwala muchiGiriki. Nsona yikwawu yachiHeberu ayimanishili kuyibalumuna muyaaka nkulakaji yamuchiyedi B.C.E. Chabombeliwu nyikanda yejima atachikili kuyitena nawu Septuagint yachiGiriki. Septuagint hikubalumuna kwatachi kwabalumwiniwu kufuma muNsona yachiHeberu.

⁹Septuagint yakwashili aYudeya ahosheleña chiGiriki niantu amakwawu kutiyishisha Nsona yamuchiHeberu. Atela atiyili kuwaha kutaña nikutiya Izu daNzambi mwidimi dahosheleñawu. Mukuhita kwampinji, yibalu yamuBayibolu atachikili kuyibalumuna mumadimi adiña nakuhoshawu hayina mpinji, adi neyi Syriac, Gothic, nichiLatin. Antu chiyatañileñawu Nyikanda Yajila mumadimi atiyileñawu, kudi yibalu yakeñeliwu nankashi, neyi chitwelaña ninetu makonu. (Tañenu Masamu 119:162-165.) Chakadi nikujina, Izu daNzambi saña dakolela hela chakwila madimi anahimpi.

10. Muloñadi antu amavulu chabuliliwu kwikala namaBayibolu mpinji yadiñaku John Wycliffe?

Antu adikwiluka ñahi nsañu yamuBayibolu?—Yish 2:1-5.

11. Antu elili ñahi chatambwililiwu Bayibolu yaWycliffe?

Ilaña awa akulumpi jansakililu avumbwili mafwaha aWycliffe nakuyocha nawa wuti awumwañilili mukaloña Swift. Ilaña Chechi yakañenyi kukañesha antu akeñeleña kutaña Izu daNzambi nikudiluka. Hayaaka yayivulu yalondelelihu, antu amavulu muEurope nimumatuña amakwawu atachikili kubalumuna maBayibolu nikuyipulinta mumadimi atiyileñawu antu amavulu.

13. Chumanyi chitwatela kwiluka kutalisha kumudimu wakubalumuna, nawa chumichi chakoleshaña ñahi chikuhwelelu chetu?

Hela chochu, neyi tutoñojoka chabalumwineñawu awa maBayibolu nimaBayibolu amakwawu, chikutukwasha kwiluka netu Izu dindi saña dakolela neyi chochahosheliyi Yehova. Komana chumichi hichayikwashaña kukuhwelela chikupu muyikaninu yaYehova nenu yikashikijewaku?—Yosh. 23:14.

Nawa muloñadi chahosheleliyi nindi yikatwaleka kwikalaku? Muloña watukeña nawa nakukeña kutudizisha njila yinateli kutukwasha. (Tañenu Isaya 48:17, 18.) Dichi, twatela kumukeña Yehova chakufuma hamuchima nikovwahila nshimbi jindi neyi chochatukeñayi.—1 Yow. 4:19; 5:3.
