Ngokuti pikija mu Bhabhironiya mainga no themberi jaipindirija 50, asi amuicaingavo no themberi ya Jehovha mu dhorobhemo. Akucaingepi no dandiro kuti Vaiziraeri vapire mupiro javo inga zvainangwa pa Mutemo wa Mosi, akucaingepi no mupiri wainasiririka kuti ivona vapire mupirojo.

Ecishandisa muporofita Isaya, Jehovha wakati: “Mu bani fununguranyi gwanja ra Tenji; mu sora nasiriranyi njira ya Mwari wedu. . . . Ndau jakapeama jiite bani, ndau jakakhwira jiite bani rakaxama.” (Isaia 40:3, 4) Amborangariranyi izvi, kuva no gwanja rakashama mu bani pikija riri pakati po matundhu. Izvi zvaizodakajisa maningi. Zvaizova zvakareruka kuno vaizoitaro hwendohwo kusiyapo kukhwija no kutereja, vofamba ngo gwanja rakarungama. Cimwenizve, zvaizoita kuti hwendohwo hukasike.

Bhaibheri rinonanga kudari: “Pa ndauyo panozova no gwanja, rinozodanwa Gwanja Rakaceneswa. Mundhu wakangora aazofambi ndirona.” (Isaia 35:8) Waro, cigondiso ici cairevenyi kuno Vaiziraeri pa mukuvo wondhowo? Cinorevenyivo kwatiri nyamasi uno?

6. Ngenyi gwanja iri rakadanijwa kuti gwanja rakacena?

Mu jinja iri rakamusijihwari akucaingepi no ndau kuitira mundhu “acizivi kucena” kana kuti Mujudha ariwese waiita zvo uhure, kunamata zvithombe no kuita zvishaishi zvimwenivo. Vajudha vaihwirirari ku Iziraeri vaidikana kuva “jinja rakacena” kuna Mwari wavo. (Deuteronòmio 7:6) Izvi azvicaireva kuti Vajudha vakavhari ku Bhabhironiya avacaidikana kuita cinjo kuti vadakajise Mwari wavo.

7 Inga zvataperaya kuvona, Vajudha vazinji vainga vakabarihwa ku Bhabhironiya vazinji vakona vainga vapera kuroveja zvirovejeso zvo ku Bhabhironiya. Nopapera makore akatikuti Vajudha no vavayia ku Iziraeri, Esdhra wakazoziva kuti Vajudha vazinji vainga vakapera kucadha no vanakaji vo majinja. (Exodo 34:15, 16; Esdra 9:1, 2) Pakufamba ko nguva, Govherinadhori Neemiya wakashamaisika maningi paakavona vana vainga vakabahwa mu nyikemo kamare vacikakwanisi kuvereketa ndumi yo Vajudha. (Deuteronòmio 6:6, 7; Neemia 13:23, 24) Waro, vana ava vaizoitisa kudini kuti vanamate Jehovha no kumuda vacikakwanisi kuzwisisisa ndumi yo Cihebheru yainga yakashadiswa pakutahwa Soko ra Mwari? (Esdra 10:3, 44) Ngo kudaro, Vajudha ava vaidikana kuita cinjo jinovoneka kamare. Zvaizoreruka kuita cinjo iji ku Iziraeri ngokuti kunamata kwakacena kwainga kwecimusijihwa padoko ngo padoko.—Neemia 8:8, 9.

Pa mazana o makore ricito raguma gore ro 1919, Jehovha wakashandisa vandhu vaimureremeja kuti vabesere pakucenesa gwanja kuvha ku Bhabhironiya Guru. (Ezanisanyi na Isaia 40:3.) Ivona vakaita basa rinosisira ro kucenesa gwanja ro kumujimu kuitira kuti vandhu vaya vano mwoyo yakarungama vavhe ku Bhabhironiya Guru kuti vaende ku paradhiso yo kumujimu, ino kwakamusijihwa kunamata kwakacena. “Basa iri ro kunasirira gwanja” raibatanijenyi? Vonanyi zviro zvinganani zvakaithwa pa basa iri ro kunasirira.

Vanarume vaireremeja Mwari vakabesera pakucenesa gwanja iri kuvha ku Bhabhironiya Guru (Vonanyi ndima 12-14) c
12-13. Ipanyi muezaniso unovonesa kuti vajiji vo Bhaibheri mu gore ra 1835, vakajekesa jijiso jo kunyepa jaijijiswa ngo magerejha.
12 Mathurusi anobesera pa kujija Bhaibheri. Vandhu vainasa kujija Bhaibheri vakajija zvakawanda pavaijija Soko ra Mwari. Vatungamiriri vo magerejha vakanyangajwa maningi pavakavona vajiji vo Bhaibheri vecitanga kuverengera vamweni zvavainga vajija mu Bhaibheri. Inga muezaniso, mu gore ra 1835, vajiji vo Bhaibheri vakatanga kutara pa mataratadho manyepo aijijiswari ngo vatungamiriri vo magerejha.
13 Muna 1835, mujiji umweni wo Bhaibheri waidanijwa kuti Henry Grew, wakabudisa taratadho yaibhuya ngo pamusoro po mugariro jo vakafa. Iyena wakajekesa mu taratadhomo akacijikira mu Bhaibheri kuti kutama kufa i cipo ca Mwari, asipi mugariro watinobahwa nawo inga zvinojijiswa ku magerejha mazinji. Mu gore ra 1837, mwanarume umweni anodanijwa kuti George Storrs, wakawana taratadho iyi mu komboyo. Iyena wakaiverenga okhohwa kamare kuti wainga awana cokwadi, otema civaringo cokuvhunja vamweni ngo pamusoro po zvaiinga ajija.

Ivona vakabeserekazve ngo kupsakisisa kwakaithwa ndi Henry Grew na George Storrs no vamweni. Hama Russell no vadoni vavo vakabesera pa basa ro kumujimu ro kubudisa mabhuku akawanda no maforiyeto aibhuya ngo pamusoro po shwiro jakasiyana-siyana jo Bhaibheri.
15. Ngozvapi zvinosisira zvakaitika mu gore ra 1919?

18 Kuna vaya vano vetero yo kuzoenda kudenga, “Gwanja Rakaceneswa” rinovatora kuenda ku “paradhiso ya Mwari yo kudenga.” (Apokaripsi 2:7) Kuna vaya vano vetero yo kuzorarama pasi pano, gwanja iri rinovatora kuenda kumbhiri ko Utongi hwa Kristu hwo Ciuru co Makore, ino kokuti vandhu vese vanozova vakakwana. Kudari imwimwi nyamasi uno muri mu gwanja iri, mucadosota sure. Mucarisiya mbhera mukwanise kuguma ku nyika imbza kwariri kuenda. Tinomugondesa ngo mwoyo wese kuti munozova no “hwendo hwakajiviririka.”
