(2 Kor. 7:5-7) Chumichi chakojejeli Pawulu kuyisonekela mukanda wamuchiyedi, wutweluka netu mukanda wa 2 AKorinda.

Awa amazu anakumwekesha chikupu chakeñeliyi Pawulu amanakwetu niahela! Kwambukaku nawaFwarisi, adiwileña akwawu, Pawulu wamweneña anyikoku neyi akwawu akuzata nawu. (Yow. 7:47-49; 1 Kor. 3:9) Pawulu watwalekelihu kuyilemesha hela chakwila wayifumbileña chikupu.—2 Kor. 2:4.
7. Akulumpi muchipompelu chawakaKristu anateli kwimbujola ñahi Pawulu?

“Anamukasili Kafuta” (Yilwilu 20:3, 4)
8, 9. (a) Yumanyi yamukañesheli Pawulu kuzambukila kuSiriya? (b) Muloñadi aYudeya chamuheleliwu Pawulu?

Kwenakuna, wadi kuya kuYerusalema nakuhana yawaana yahaniniwu amanakwetu yakukwasha amanakwetu adiña mukukankila. c (Yilw. 24:17; Rom. 15:25, 26) Hela chochu, kudi yuma yahimpili mwafuukwiliyi Pawulu. Yilwilu 20:3 yahosha nawu: “AYudeya anamukasili kafuta”!
9 Tukuhayama wanyi hakutiya nawu aYudeya amuhembeleli nkunyi Pawulu, muloña amumweneña nawu himukakusekesha. Hanashimbuli wanyi, mudimu windi wakushimwina wamukwashili Kiripusi kubalumuka, muntu alemeshawu musinagogi yamuKorinda. (Yilw. 18:7, 8; 1 Kor. 1:14) Nawa mpinji yimu aYudeya amuKorinda, amutwikili Pawulu muloña nakumutwala kudi Galiyo, nguvulu waAkaya. Ilaña, Galiyo wakaanini nyiloña yamutwikiliwu nawa chumichi chakojejeli ayilumbu jaPawulu kuhila chikupu. (Yilw. 18:12-17) AYudeya muKorinda atela elukili hela atoñojokeli nawu Pawulu katataka azambuki nakuya kuKenikiri, dichi amubelameneni kwenakuna. Pawulu wukwila ñahi?
10. Komana Pawulu watiyili woma kuya kuKenikiri? Lumbululenu.

Hela chochu, Pawulu watoñojokeleña nindi chachiwahi kuzatisha iyi njila kubadika kuya nakumona makabisha muKenikiri. Chasweja kubadika, hayileña nkawindiku. Pawulu wayileña nawamabwambu jindi awana halwendu lwindi lwawumishonali kushilahu niArisitaka, Gayusi, Sekundu, Timotewu, Tirofwimusa niTikikusa.—Yilw. 20:3, 4.
11. Yumanyi yelañawu akaKristu hakwila adikiñi awenawu makonu, nawa yumanyi yeliliyi Yesu Kristu yembujolañawu?
11 Kufwana Pawulu, akaKristu makonu niwena azatishaña njila yinateli kuyikwasha kudikiñilamu awenawu neyi anakushimwina. Mumaluña amakwawu, endaña mumazanvu hela ayedi-ayedi chatela endeña nkawawu. Indi neyi anakuyikabisha elañadi? AkaKristu eluka nawu akayikabisha. (Yow. 15:20; 2 Tim. 3:12) Hela chochu, hiyadishaña aweni mukukalaku. Tuhoshenu hadi Yesu. Mpinji yimu, helili akakudimbulula muYerusalema atachiki kunona malola nawu amwasi, “Yesu waswamini nawa wafuminimu mutembeli.” (Yow. 8:59) Chimwahitili mpinji, helili aYudeya akasi kafuta kakumujaha, “Yesu walekeli kwenda cheñi hatooka mudi aYudeya, ilaña wafumini kwenoku nakuya kwiluña dadiña kwakwihi nesaña.” (Yow. 11:54) Yesu welileñahu chuma kulonda adikiñi yomweni chakala hohu ochu chuma chinakuditadika wanyi nankeñelu yaNzambi. AkaKristu niwena makonu elaña chuma chochimu.—Mat. 10:16.

12 Pawulu niamabwambu jindi atela ahitilili muMasidoniya hamu ilaña chinamwekani neyi ambukili. Ilaña, adibulakeneni cheñi kuTirowasi. d Mukanda waYilwilu wahosha nawu: “Chimwahitili mafuku atanu twashikili kwadiñawu muTirowasi.” e (Yilw. 20:6) Kweniku dikwamusañwililiwu kansi weyala Yutikusa, itwashimunahu kumatachikilu akanu kapetulu. Toñojokenu chatiyiliwu amanakwetu hakumona ibwambu dawu akeñawu Yutikusa anamusañuli! Mukanda waYilwilu wahosha nawu, “ayikundejeli chikupu.”—Yilw. 20:12.
13 Hela chochu, yihayamisha yamuchidiwu hiyamwekanaña makonuku. Ilaña, antu ajimbesha antaña jawu mukufwa “ayikundejaña chikupu” nakuchiñeja kwekala muBayibolu kwakusañuka. (Yow. 5:28, 29) Toñojokenu hachumichi: Chineli Yutikusa wadiña wawanina wanyi, wafwili cheñi. (Rom. 6:23) Ilaña antu akasañulawu mwituña dadiha daNzambi akashakamaña haya nyaaka! Kubombelahu antu asañulañawu kuya nakuyuula naYesu mwiwulu, avwalaña nyijimba yakafwaña. (1 Kor. 15:51-53) AkaKristu makonu, awayishewa hela “hiyanyikoku acheñi” ‘akundejewaña chikupu.’—Yow. 10:16.
“Hamesu Awantu Nikwitala Niitalaku” (Yilwilu 20:13-24)

14 Pawulu niamabwambu jindi afumini kuTirowasi nakuya kuAsosa, kuhiñahu ayili kuMetileni, Chiyosi, Samosi, nikuMiletusa. Pawulu wafwilileña kushika swayi kuYerusalema muloña wafwilileña kushika nampinji henohu Chawija chaPentekosita kanda. Chafwilileñayi kushika kuchawija chaPentekosita chinatukwashi kwiluka chakojejeli akandameña watu wabulili kwimana muEfwesesa hafuntileñayi. Hela chochu chineli Pawulu wakeñeleña kuhanjeka nawakulumpi adiña muEfwesesa, wayilejeli nindi adibulakeni kuMiletusa. (Yilw. 20:13-17) Chashikiliwu, Pawulu wayilejeli nindi: “Enu mweluka chiwahi chinashakamini nanenu kutachika hefuku datachi dinadatili mukabeta kaAsiya, nakumuzatila Mwanta nakudizoza chikupu, namadilu nikweseka kunamweni hamuloña watufuta twawaYudeya, nawa hinalekeli kuyileja enu yuma yejima yayiwahi hela kuyitañisha hamesu awantu nikwitala niitalaku. Ilaña nayishimwinini chikupu aYudeya niaGiriki wunsahu nami abalumuki munyichima nakubalumukila kudi Nzambi nikumukuhwelela Mwanta wetu Yesu.”—Yilw. 20:18-21.
15. Kuwahanyi kwekala mukushimwina kwitala nikwitala?

Kufwana Pawulu twazataña nañovu kulonda tuyi kwejima kudi antu, kwemeneña nyotoka, munyikwakwa, nikumamaketi. Ilaña, kushimwina kwitala nikwitala diyi njila yayeni yazatishañawu aYinsahu jaYehova. Muloñadi? Chatachi, kushimwina kwitala nikwikala kwakwashaña antu kutiya nsañu yaWanta mpinji yejima, nakumwekesha nawu Nzambi hakweti chaambuku. Nawa kwakwashaña antu akweti nyichima yashinshika kuyikwasha kwesekeja nakukala kukwetiwu. Kubombelahu, mudimu wakushimwina kwitala nikwitala wakwashaña antu anakuwuzata kwikala nachikuhwelelu nikuumika. Mwamweni, chinjikijilu chayilukilañaku akaKristu alala hiiyena dikwetiwu dakushimwina “hamesu awantu nikwitala niitala.”
16, 17. Pawulu wamwekesheli ñahi nindi hadiña nawomaku, nawa akaKristu makonu amwimbujolaña ñahi?
16 Pawulu wayilumbulwili akulumpi amuEfwesesa nindi welukili wanyi wubanji wadi kumonayi hakufunta kuYerusalema. Wayilejeli nindi: “Hela chochu, hinamonaña wumi wami nami walemaku, chuma chinalemesha nankashi hikumanisha yuma yinatela kwila nimudimu wanyinkeliwu kudi Mwanta Yesu, wakushimwina chikupu wunsahu wansañu yayiwahi yaluwi lwaNzambi lwasweja.” (Yilw. 20:24) Pawulu wakaanini chuma chidi chejima, kukata kumujimba hela ikañesha dasweja kumukañesha kumanisha mudimu windi.
17 AkaKristu makonu niwena omikaña kukala kwamboka-mboka. Amakwawu ayilekeshaña kudi nfulumendi nikuyikabisha. Amakwawu niwena anakuumika nayikatu yasweja kumujimba nimuyitoñojoka. AkaKristu atwansi niwena ayikanjikijaña kwila yuma yatama kudi akwawu kushikola. Mukukala kwejima kwamonañawu aYinsahu jaYehova ekalaña ahamuka, neyi cheliliyi Pawulu. Afwilaña “kushimwina chikupu wunsahu wansañu yayiwahi.”
“Dihembenuña Enu Aweni niMukanka Wanyikoku Wejima” (Yilwilu 20:25-38)
18. Yumanyi yeliliyi Pawulu hakwila yabuli kwikala namuloña wamashi, nawa akulumpi muEfwesesa adi kwila ñahi chuma chochimu?
18 Kuhiñahu Pawulu wayifumbili akulumpi amuEfwesesa chakadi kuhiyihita mumbadi, kuzatisha chakutalilahu chindi yomweni. Chatachi wayilejeli nindi hadaha aka dikadiña kakukumishaku kudimonahu nayena. Kuhiñahu wayilejeli nindi: “Hinikweti muloña wamashi awantu ejimaku, muloña hinnaleki kuyileja enu nkeñelu yejima yaNzambiku.” Akulumpi amuEfwesesa adi kumwimbujola ñahi Pawulu kulonda abuli kwikala namuloña wamashi? Wayilejeli nindi: “Dihembenuña enu aweni nimukanka wanyikoku wejima iyayitondelelihu kudi spiritu yajila kwikala akulumpi, kulonda mubiñeña chipompelu chaNzambi, chalandiliyi namashi aMwanindi.” (Yilw. 20:26-28) Pawulu wayisoñamishili nindi “atuñwidi azuwa” akenza nakudibomba namukanka wawanyikoku nawa “akatachika kuhosha yuma yakutwamba kulonda adikokeli atumbanji.” Akulumpi akwila ñahi? Pawulu wayisoñamishili nindi: “Tonenuña, nawa ilukenu nenu hadi yaaka yisatu, hinalekeli kuyikonkomwena hamuntu-hamuntu mwaana niwufuku namadiluku.”—Yilw. 20:29-31.
19. Wunfwikijinyi wadiñaku muyaaka nkulakaji yakusambila, nawa wakojejeli yumanyi muyaaka yalondelelihu?
19 “Atuñwidi azuwa” enjili helili kunashali apostolu atensha. Mu 98 C.E., kapostolu Yowanu wasonekeli nindi: “Hayinu mpinji akakumudimbulula Kristu anamwekani dehi . . . Afumini mudi etu, muloña adiña etu wanyi; muloña neyi adiña etu, mutenowu adi kutwalekahu kushakama nanetu.” (1 Yow. 2:18, 19) Chimwahitili yaaka kwakwihi na 200, kufuma hafwililiyi Yesu, akulumpi jawakakusekesha atuñili izanvu dadimena dadimweneña nawu dabadika ejima muchipompelu, nawa chimwahitili yaaka kwakwihi na 300 kufuma hafwililiyi Yesu, Nyuuli wawaRoma Constantine wetejeli idi izanvu danawa “akaKristu” akutwamba. Chineli akoñeleña yuma yatama iku anakuyitena nawu “akaKristu,” awa akulumpi jakwitiya mwamweni “ahosheleña yuma yakutwamba.” Wunfwikiji wamuchidiwu wuchidi kumwekana muyuma yatañishañawu niyelañawu akaKristendomu.
20, 21. Pawulu wamwekesheli ñahi nindi wadiña wadihana, nawa akulumpi muchipompelu chawakaKristu anateli ñahi kumwimbujola?

Chazatileñayi nañovu kulonda akwashi akwawu akakwitiya, kwosi niyuma yimu yadilileñamu. Pawulu wakonkomweneneña akulumpi amuEfwesesa nindi ekaleña namuchima wakudihana. Wayilejeli nindi: “Mwatela kukwasha antu azeya nawa mwatela kwanuka mazu aMwanta Yesu, ahosheliyi yomweni nindi: ‘Mukuhana mwekala muzañalu chikupu kubadika wekala mukutambwila.’”—Yilw. 20:35.
21 Kufwana Pawulu, akulumpi akaKristu makonu ekala namuchima wakudihana. Kwambukaku nawakulumpi amumachechi aditenaña nawu hiyakaKristu, adilaña nyikoku yawu hanyitu, antu enkawu mudimu “wakubiña chipompelu chaNzambi” azataña nyidimu yawu chakadi kuyifweta. Muchipompelu chawakaKristu mwekala wanyi kudivwimba nikufwila yuma, muloña antu ‘adikeñelaña aweni kulema’ “mukuhita kwampinji akadimbuka. (Yish. 25:27) Mukudinka wanta mwafumaña kusawuka.—Yish. 11:2.
“Wejima wawu adilili nankashi.”—Yilwilu 20:37
22. Yumanyi yaletesheli Pawulu amukeñi kudi akulumpi amuEfwesesa?
22 Amanakwetu amukeñeli chikupu Pawulu muloña wayikeñeli chakufuma hamuchima. Mwamweni, mpinji yakudambula chiyashikili “adilili nankashi nawa amukumbatili Pawulu nakumufufwa.” (Yilw. 20:37, 38) Amanakwetu niahela asakililaña nikukeña chikupu antu adi neyi Pawulu, adihanaña kukalakela nyikoku chakadi kuyifweta. Hanyima yakuhanjeka hayuma yeliliyi Pawulu, komana mukwiteja wanyi nenu Pawulu waditiyileña hela kulebumuna chahosheliyi nindi: “Hinikweti muloña wamashi awantu ejimaku”?—Yilw. 20:26.
