4. a) Isiyani Sotwani invarelaawe nteko wiira anihiihe unswalela Yehova paahi? b) Isiyani inhaleehu usoma nhina ula mwahoola?

⁴ Sotwani phinhoolela ila ituninyeela. Ni uyo nvarela nteko ituninya apheelaka unikupaliha wiira citthu cimpheeleehu phitepale ukhala cofayita cinene. Uyo ciicammo novarela nteko ituninya wiira atepe unirikihela ukhotta citthu coohinamaana. (Efesu 2:1-3; 1 Jo. 5:19) Venci-venci, itthu Sotwani impheelaawe ukhanle ukawaniha nrimeehu. Nrimeehu wakhalaka wookawanihiya, khaninhala unswalela Yehova paahi. Nhina ula mwahoola, ninaahala usoma citthu piili Sotwani cimpankaawe wiira anihiihe unswalela  Yehova paahi.

⁵ Khuntakhala upheela ukhalana iyoolya yinci, ikuwo comaana coopheela uwara ni nipuro nomaana noohala ukhala. Masi nihaana wiiweheeha wiira uhancere uniciva nsurukhu. Atthu enci o ntuninyani ya Sotwani akhanle atthu “owaaciva nsurukhu” ni owaaciva maali unthumaaya uyo nsurukhuuyo. (2 Tim. 3:2) Yesu aanaacuwela wiira attharyaawe yaanaahala uttehiya wiira akhale atthu owaaciva nsurukhu. Phimaana, uyo aheera: “Khaavo nlamuliya ukhala ipottha yaatthu eeli; kontha anfenta mmoca, naahala ukasiriya ninkinaku, awula nokonvaresesa mmoca, masi unthanya nkinakuuyo. Nyuuva khannolamuliya ukhala ipottha ca Nluku ni ipottha co Mihakhu.” (Mat. 6:24) Ntthu nonswalela Yehova ni ciicammo nrihakaca ukati mwinci ni ikuru cinci amananihaka utotha maali ila ituninyeela, uyo khweeliini nkhala ipottha yaatthu eeli. Uyo khanonswalela Yehova paahi.

6. Isiyani inniitthucihaaya ikano Yesu yaavahalyaawe atthu o nloko no uLawutiseya?

Atthu o nne nlokonne yiithencaka yeera co: “Kithaciri, kihophwanya maali menci ni khiivo itthu inkithwa.” Masi uhoolo wa Yehova ni wa Yesu, ayo yaari ‘atthu ootakhaliya, ahuvi, amasikhini, oohoona ni yaari pwitipwiti.’ Yesu ahaana aavahaka ikano kahi nlattu wookhala mathaciri, masi nlattu wowaaciva maali. Waaciva maali waanaahonona upatthannyaaya ni Yehova. (Apoka. 3:14-17) Vano isiyani ninlamuliyeehu upanka noonelelaka wiira wanrimani wihu uhancera uniciva nsurukhu? Nihaana ulokihaca moopuwelelwehu woohipica. (1 Tim. 6:7, 8)  Naahilokihaceke, nrimeehu unaahala ukhala wookawanihiya, ni Yehova khanhala utthuna uswali wihu. Uyo “mpheela uswaleliya uyova paahi.” (Deut. 4:24) Vano manannani nsurukhu caahalaaya ukhala itthu yofayita cinene muukumini wihu?

7-9. Wiitthucale isiyani ni itthu yankhumelenle humu mmoca neehaniya David?

⁷ Woone ntakihero na David, humu mmoca nkhala u Estados Unidos. Uyo neera wiira wantekoni wawe aari nanteko owiikurumica cinene. Uyo ahovahiya ikhatera yuulupale nipuro naavaraawe nteko ni ahocuweliya ukhala ntthu oovara nteko ratta ilapo inkhalaawe. David neera: “Ule ukatyuule, miiva koopuwela wiira itthuvo caavahiyaka untekoni caari iparakha ca Yehova.” Masi niireke khweeliini caari iparakha ca Yehova?

⁸ David ahoona wiira ntekwaawe waanaahonona vakaani-vakaani upatthannyaawe ni Yehova. Uyo neera: “Umikutthaanoni ni mpaka ciicammo wuulalyeerani, kaakhala ukati wotheene kuupuwelaka citthu contekoni waka. Kaanaapokhera nsurukhu mwinci, masi kaavira kitepaka ukhala niiwasiwaasi, ciicammo mi ni amwaaraka nahancera ukhalana masakha muuthelanani wihu.”

⁹ David ahoona wiira ahaana oopuwelaka ratta itthu yaalamuliyaawe uhoolelihera muukumini wawe. Uyo neera: “Mi kaholakela ulokihaca makhalelwaaka.” David aapheela uvukula ukati waakhalaawe avaraka nteko ni ahorwaa uwuulumana aseefi ontekoni wawe. Yankhumelenle isiyani? David ahokumihiya nteko! Vano David aapankale isiyani? Uyo naahimya: “Waaseele waya, kahantikha ipetisau wiira kikhale piyoneeru ookavihera wooheemesera.” Uvira waya ukati, David ahokhala piyoneeru owiicaaverya ni, wahoolo, amwaarawe ciicammo yahancera uvara nteko weepiyoneeru  owiicaaverya. Wiira aphwanye ipooso, ayo yahancera uvara nteko wookwecakweca. Uyo ukhanle nteko atthu enci unoonaaya ukhala woohifayita. Masi David ni amwaarawe, itthu inoonaaya ukhala yofayita khunakhala nteko, masi ukhanle uhoolelihera uvara nteko wa Yehova. Uhiya commo, ayo yahohiya uphwanya nsurukhu mwinci toko waaphwanyaaya khalayi. Hataa wakhalaka commo, khula mweeri, ayo yaanaakhitiri uphwanya nsurukhu wiira athume citthu caapheelaaya. Ayo yaapheela unhoolelihera Yehova muukumini waya, ni yahooneeha mananna uyo cinaawaceraawe ale anhoolelihera Umwennyaawe.—Mat. 6:31-33.

10. Manannani ninlamuliyeehu ukhikicera nrimeehu?

¹⁰ Hataa ukhalaka wiira nihaana nsurukhu mwinci awula vakaani, otheene cihu nihaana nikhikiceraka nrimeehu. Manannani? Wiikurumice wiira uhancere wuuciva nsurukhu wanrimani waa. Ni uhihiye nteko unvaraa ukhalaka itthu yofayita cinene muukumini waa, uvikana nteko wa Yehova. Unhala ucuwela cani wiira iyo itthwiiyo inawuukhumelela? Wiikohe citthu toko nnya: ‘Umikutthaanoni awula wuulalyeerani, kinaakhalaka kuupuwelaka citthu contekoni waka? Kinaatepa wiikurumica cinene wiira wahoolo kakhalane nsurukhu mwinci? Kinaahiya nsurukhu ukiwaanelaka masakha muuthelanani waka? Kaanaahala utthuna uvara nteko atthu uhinvahaaya ifayita wiira kihoolelihere uvara nteko wa Yehova?’ (1 Tim. 6:9-12) Ukati wowiikoha nnyo citthunnyo, uhiliyale wiira Yehova nawuufenta cinene. Ila phi itthu uyo yaakhuluvelihalyaawe ale anonswalela uyova paahi: “Mi akinhala wuuhiya ni akinhala wuunyanyala.” Phimaana apostolu Paulu ahantikha eeraka: “Nhikhale oociveliya ni nsurukhu cinene muukumini winyu.”—Mabere. 13:5, 6.

11. Isiyani inhala unkhumelela ntthu nlattu wo mathukelo anthanlaawe?

Khweeliini, Ibiilblya ineera wiira “khiivo-tho itthu ikhwaawe yootepa unreerelela pinaatamu uhinkhanle ulya, uwurya ni ulawa miteko cawe.” (Ekles. 2:24) Masi mathukelo menci o ntuninyani pooti uhinipanka ratta. Ayo akhanle mathukelo anaasovenriha atthu uhiya meettelo omaana ni anaasovenriha atthu wiira atthune—awula caacivele—citthu Nuulumo na Nluku cinkhottihaaya.

12. Toko cinthoonyeraaya 1 Akorintu 10:21, 22, kontha isiyani nihaana nithanlaka ratta mathukelweehu?

Phimaana, khaninlamuliya ulya “wameecani wa Yehova” ni ukati yooyo ulya “wameecani wo maciini.” (Usome 1 Akorintu 10:21, 22) Wanlyanaka ntthu unthoonyera wiira unampatthanana uyo ntthuuyo.

Phimaana Ibiiblya wanniirelaaya co: “Nhiithepye: Nluku khanthukenliya. Khontha inaalaawe ntthu, yeeyo phinhalaawe uhepha; kontha ule naala acivelihaka irutthwaawe nkoohepha mwiirutthuni wawe utankanyiya.” (Akalas. 6:7, 8) Khweeliini, nihaana ninyemaka khula mathukelo anthoonyera citthu cinonrusa Yehova!—Isaa. 97:10.

15. Itthuvoni Yehova inivahalyaawe?

¹⁵ Mayamunna enci unawaacivela woona ividiyu cihu co TV yomwinternetini JW Broadcasting^®. Nrokorihu mmoca neehaniya Marilyn heera: “Ividiyu co JW Broadcasting cinaakikavihera ukhala ootteeliya, ni pooti wahinthanlaka itthu yopheela woona, kontha citthu cotheene cikhanle comaana.

Kontha unawoopiha hiivano ukhala ukati mwinci nithukaka, masi uviriha ukati vakaani ninswalelaka Yehova. Atthu enci unawaarika uthikilela ukati unvirihaaya yathukaka.
