KUNENA aantu omamiliyona ohaya ti kutya aniwa oyi itaala muJesus, ihe ihaya vulika kuye.

3. Jesus okwa li a ningi shike shoka sha ningitha yamwe kaaye mu taambe ko?

³ Sho Jesus a li kombanda yevi, okwa li he endathana naantu ayehe. Okwa li ha li pamwe naayamba nosho wo mboka ye na oondondo dha simana, nokwa li wo hi itulile po ethimbo a kale pamwe naathigona nosho wo mboka taya mono iihuna.

Ehunganeko ndyoka olya ti: “Okwa li a dhinwa nokwe ekelwahi kaantu . . . Okwa li a fa ngoka aantu ye mu isiikilila iipala yawo, yaaye mu tale. Okwa li a dhinwa, natse inatu mu simaneka nando.” (Jes. 53:3) Mesiasa okwa li te ke ekelwahi “kaantu,” onkee ano Aajuda yomethelemumvo lyotango oya li ye na okukala ye shi kutya aantu oyendji itaye ke mu taamba ko.

5. Aantu oyendji kunena oya tala ko ngiini aalanduli yaJesus?

Aawiliki mboka ohaye shi ningi, nonando olundji eihumbato nokukalamwenyo kwaantu mboka haya taamba moongeleka dhawo ihaku kala metsokumwe nomithikampango dhaKalunga. Aawiliki mboka oya dhina aapiya yaJehova aalaadhi sho ye na eihumbato lya yogoka, naasho aantu oyendji inaaye ya tala ko ya simana. Ngaashi sha popiwa kuPaulus, Kalunga oha hogolola mboka uuyuni wa “tala ko yopevilela.” (1 Kor. 1:26-29) Osha yela kutya aapiya ayehe aadhiginini yaJehova oye na ondilo momeho ge.

6. Jesus okwa popi shike muMateus 11:25, 26, nongiini tatu vulu oku mu holela?

(Eps. 138:6) Dhiladhila wo kwaashihe shoka Jehova a tompola po, mokulongitha aantu mboka uuyuni wa tala ko kaaye shi aanandunge nenge inaaya simana.   

7. Omolwashike Jesus a li i ithana aafarisayi aafudhime, noya li yi inyenge ngiini?

⁷ Jesus okwa li a aneke nuulaadhi pomutenya iilonga yaakwatelikomeho yomalongelokalunga aafudhime yopethimbo lye. Pashiholelwa okwa aneke pomutenya uufudhime wAafarisayi, mboka ya li ya simaneka unene okwiiyoga kiikaha shi vulithe okusila oshimpwiyu aavali yawo.

Oya li nokuli ye mu pula ya ti: ‘Owu shi shi tuu kutya aafarisayi sho yu uvu oohapu ndhoka, oya ningi omwenyo omwiinayi?’ Jesus okwe ya yamukula, a ti: ‘Okehe tuu ontsika inaayi tsikwa kuTate gwomegulu, otayi ka vudhwa mo nomidhi dhayo. Ya etheni, oyo aakwatiketi lyaaposi aakwawo. Ngele ku na omuposi ta kwata keti lyomuposi omukwawo, nena ayehe yaali otaya gwile moshilambo.’ (Mat. 15:12-14) Jesus kali e etha ongeyo yaakwatelikomeho yomalongelokalunga yi mu imbe a popye oshili.

(Mat. 7:13, 14) Okwe shi yelitha kutya aantu yamwe otaya ka kala ya fa taya longele Kalunga,  ihe paushili wo wene haye taya longele. Okwa gandja elondodho, a ti: “Angaleni aahunganeki aafundja mboka taye ya kune molupe lwoonzi, ihe meni lyawo omambungu haga lyana. Otamu ya dhimbulula kiiyimati yawo.” — Mat. 7:15-20.

9. Omalongo giifundja gamwe geni Jesus a li a aneke pomutenya?

⁹ Omanyolo otaga ti ngiini? Ombiimbeli oya hunganeka kutya Mesiasa ota ka longela Otempeli yaJehova nuulaadhi. (Eps. 69:9; Joh. 2:14-17) Uulaadhi mboka owo wi inyengitha Jesus a aneke pomutenya omalongo giifundja nosho wo omikalondjigilile kaadhi li pamanyolo. Pashiholelwa, aafarisayi oya li yi itaala kutya omwenyo ihagu si, omanga Jesus a longo aantu kutya oonakusa oya kotha. (Joh. 11:11) Aasadukayi kaya li yi itaala kutya oonakusa otaya ka yumuka, ihe Jesus okwa li a yumudha kuume ke Lasarus. (Joh. 11:43, 44; Iil. 23:8) Aafarisayi oya li haya longo aantu kutya kehe shoka omuntu ta ningi monkalamwenyo ye, osha nunwa nale kuKalunga, ihe Jesus okwa li a longo aantu kutya otaya vulu okutokola ngele oya hala okulongela Kalunga nenge hasho. — Mat. 11:28.

Ohatu yelithile aantu kutya ando elongo ndyoka olya li lyoshili, ando eyumuko inali pumbiwa. Shimwe ishewe, mepingathano nomalongelokalunga ngoka haga longo aantu kutya kehe shoka omuntu ta ningi nenge ta ka ningilwa monkalamwenyo osha nunwa nale kuKalunga, tse ohatu kwathele aantu yi ilonge oshili kutya Kalunga okwe tu pa emanguluko lyokuninga omatokolo. Mbela aawiliki yomalongelokalunga ohaya kala yu uvite ngiini sho hatu aneke pomutenya iifundja ayihe mbyoka? Olundji ohaya kala ya geya noonkondo!

11. Ngaashi sha popiwa moohapu dhaJesus ndhoka tadhi adhika muJohannes 8:45-47, Kalunga okwa tegelela oshigwana she shi ninge shike?

(Joh. 8:44) Kalunga okwa tegelela oshigwana she shi kale shi ‘tonde shaa shoka oshiwinayi’ noshi “dhiginine shoka oshiwanawa,” ngaashi Jesus a li a ningi. — Rom. 12:9; Heb. 1:9.

12. Omolwashike Aajuda oyendji ya li ya tindi okwiitala muJesus omolwomukalo moka a dhipagwa?

Ohapu ndjika oya tsikitha Aajuda.” (1 Kor. 1:23) Omolwashike Aajuda oyendji ya li ya tindi okwiitaala muJesus omolwomukalo moka a dhipagwa? Kuyo, sho Jesus a dhipagelwa komuti gwomahepeko oshe mu ningitha a kale a fa omukolokoshi nomulunde, onkene oya tindi oku itaala kutya oye Mesiasa. — Deut. 21:22, 23.

(Luk. 22:54; Joh. 18:24) Pehala lyokupulakena koshipotha she kaapu na okugama ombinga, aapanguli oya kongo po “omalundilo ya lundile Jesus, opo ye mu dhipage.” Sho ondunge yawo ndjono inaayi longa, omuyambi omukuluntu okwa kambadhala okuningitha Jesus a popye iinima haayo, opo e mu mone ondjo. Shoka kasha li nando tashi tsu kumwe nomilandu dhokupangula. (Mat. 26:59; Mark. 14:55-64) Sho Jesus a yumuka kuusi, aapanguli mboka oya futu aakwiita  Aaroma mboka ya li ya langela ombila ye “iimaliwa oyindji,” opo ya taandelithe iifundja kutya omolwashike ombila ye yi li owala. — Mat. 28:11-15.

Okwa humbata po oondjo dhoyendji nokwa galikanene aayonaguli.” (Jes. 53:12) Onkene Aajuda kaya li taya vulu okutinda okwiitaala Jesus, molwaashoka owala a dhipagwa eso lya fa lyomukolokoshi.

15. Omalundilo geni ga li ga ningilwa Oonzapo dhaJehova ngoka ga ningitha yamwe ya kale ye li ompinge nadho?

Aauvithi oyendji oya li ya tulwa mondholongo, molwaashoka owala ya popya naashiinda shawo kombinga yUukwaniilwa waKalunga.

Omimvo opo dha zi ko, aamwatate yetu oyendji moRusia oya kwatwa po noya tulwa mondholongo, molwaashoka owala ya popya nomuntu kombinga yOmbiimbeli, oshinima shoka epangelo ndyoka lya tala ko aniwa “sha nika oshiponga.” Nokuli Ombiimbeli yetu yo-New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures melaka lyOshirusia oyi indikwa noya talika ko yi li oshileshomwa shi na “uuyelele wa nika oshiponga,” molwaashoka owala ya longitha edhina Jehova.

16. Ngaashi sha popiwa muJohannes gwotango 4:1, omolwashike kaatu na okweetha tu pukithwe komapopyo giifundja kombinga yoshigwana shaJehova?

¹⁶ Oshike tashi vulu oku tu kwathela kaatu ethe po okulongela Jehova? Ninga oonkambadhala wu kale wu na uushili wi ihwapo kombinga yaashoka tashi popiwa. MEuvitho lye lyokOndundu, Jesus okwa li a londodha aapulakeni ye kutya aantu yamwe otaye ke ya ‘popila muuwinayi awuhe nokufundja.’ (Mat. 5:11) Satana oye ha hwahwameke iifundja mbyoka. Oha nwetha mo aapataneki ya taandeleke iifundja kombinga yaamboka ye hole oshili. (Eh. 12:9, 10) Katu na okupulakena komapopyo gawo ngoka giifundja. Inatu etha nando iifundja ya fa mpoka yi tu tilithe nenge yi nkundipaleke eitaalo lyetu. — Lesha 1 Johannes 4:1.

(Joh. 6:64; 13:21, 26, 38; 16:32) Sho ashihe shoka sha ningwa, yamwe oya li taya vulu okutokola kaaya kale we aalanduli yaJesus, mokupopya taya ti: ‘Ngele aayapostoli yaJesus osho tayi ihumbata ngeyi, inandi hala okukala gumwe gwomaalanduli ye!’

Ihe aanamitima omiwanawa ihaye etha ya pukithwe kuyo. Mepingathano naashono, oye shi kutya Ombiimbeli oya hunganeka kutya ota ku ka kala aantu ya tya ngawo. — Mat. 24:24; 2 Pet. 2:18-22.

20. Ongiini tatu vulu okuyanda okweethithwa po okulongela Jehova kwaamboka ya thiga po oshili? (2 Timoteus 4:4, 5)

²⁰ Oshike tashi vulu oku tu kwathela kaatu ethe po okulongela Jehova?

Oohapu dhaKalunga otadhi ti: “Mboka ye ku hole, oye na ombili, nokaku na shoka tashi ya pukitha.” — Eps. 119:165.
