YIHITA yawantu ayikeña kulusu nawa ayilemeshaña. The Encyclopædia Britannica yatenaña kulusu nawu “hichinjikijilu cheneni nankashi chansakililu yaweniKristu.” Hela chochu, eniKristu alala hiyazatishaña kulusu hakudifukulaku. Muloñadi?

Muloña weneni wudi wakwila nawu Yesu Kristu hafwilili hakulusuku. Izu dachiGriki dabalumunawu kakavulu nawu “kulusu” histau·rosʹ. Idi izu dalumbuluka chikupu nawu “chishimi hela mutondu  woloka.” The Companion Bible yahoshaña nawu: “[Stau·rosʹ] bayi neyi hiizu dalumbuluka yikunku yiyedi yambawu yakukimbakesha hakachi nakwilisha nfuñuku . . . Kwosi nihamu hasonekawu [muChitiyañenu Chachiha] chamwidimi dachiGriki hela hazatishawu yikunku yiyedi yambawuku.”

Munyikanda yayivulu, ansoneki aBayibolu azatisha izu dikwawu dachuma chazatishiliwu hakufwa kwaYesu. Idi hiizu dachiGriki daxyʹlon. (Yililu 5:30; 10:39; 13:29; Aŋalija 3:13; 1 Petulu 2:24) Idi izu dalumbuluka nawu “Mwalachi” hela “chishimi, kapama, hela mutondu.”

Kulumbulula muloña waweni chazatisheleñawu mutondu hohu kakavulu hakujahana nachu, mukanda waDas Kreuz und die Kreuzigung (Kulusu nikupopela), wasonekeliwu kudi Hermann Fulda, wahoshaña nawu: “Hikwadiña nyitondu kwiluña datondeliwu nawu dakujahilaña antu hatokaku. Komana adiña nakushimika mutondu wamwalachi hamaseki. Henaha, dihu hayishileñawu ambanji iku makasawu anayipopeli kwiwulu nawa kakavulu nyendu yawu adiña nakuyikasa hela kuyipopa.”

Hela chochu, wunsahu waweni wakushika hamuchima wafumaña Mwiizu daNzambi. Kapostolu Pawulu wahosheli nindi: “Kristu watukuulili kukushiña kwanshimbi kwatushiñiluwu, nanochu chamubalumwinuwu kwikala washiñewa hansañu yetwetu. Muloña anasoneki nawu, muntu akukudikawu kumutondu washiñewa.” (Aŋalija 3:13 King James Version) Pawulu hanu, wasonekeli mazu adi haKuhituluka 21:22, 23, ahosha chikupu kutalisha kumutondu, bayi kulusuku. Chineli kujaha muntu munjila yamuchidiwu kwaletesheleña muntu kwikala “washiñewa,” komana hichatela kuwaha kudi eniKristu kuwahisha mumatalawu nayifwikija yinakumwekesha chamupopeliwu Kristuku.

eniKristu azatishileña kulusu hakudifula muyaaka yatachi 300 kufuma hafwiliyi Kristuku. Hela chochu, muyaaka nkulakaji yamuchiwana, Mwanta wawusenji Constantine wabalumukili nakwikala mwiniKristu wabula kujila nawa watiyakesheli kulusu neyi dichinjikijilu chawuKristu. Mwejima mwatoñojokeleñayi Constantine, kulusu hiyakundaminihu nikunsañu jaYesu Kristuku. Kulusu, chalala yikweti ntachikilu yawusenji. The New Catholic Encyclopedia yetejaña nawu: “Kulusu yawanikaña muyisemwa yawantu ejima henohu kanda kwikali eniKristu nimuyisemwa yawantu abula kwikala eniKristu.” Akwanshimbi amavulu esekeja kulusu nayililu yakudifukula niyisemwa yakubajama kwawusenji.

Muloñadi ichi chinjikijilu chawusenji chiyachitiyakesheliwu? Chinamwekani neyi, akeñeleña nawu chikali chaswayi kudi asenji kwiteja “wuKristu.” Ilaña kudifukula kuchifwikija chawusenji hichuma chalekeshawu chikupu muBayibolu. (2 Akorinda 6:14-18) Nsona niyena yakanisha nyichidi yejima yakupesha. (Kwidika 20:4, 5; 1 Akorinda 10:14)  Hela chochu, hamuloña washikilamu, eniKristu alala hiyazatishaña kulusu hakudifukulaku. *
