1-3. Oothene hiyo na akapuro a eheeni, nave Yehova onii anoopole hai?

MWAANYIHERYE wi nyuwaano moowaleliwa mukaaripooso nthowa na echu muheenraanyu. Himwaano echu yaweera wi moopoliwe. Enakhala ntoko wi himwaano ewehereryo, hiyaavo munaweryaanyu weera. Nyenya mmanle oyeleela ewehereryo, munnasuwela wi ookhala orino ikuru sa owoopolani nave oororomeliha wookhaviheryaani! Mwaahaala okhala hai?

³ Mwaanyiherye otaphuwa munahaalaanyu okhalano vaavaa muhinahaalaanyu woovaka okhwa! Nyenya tahi wi Yehova onahaala oviihavo okhwa pahiru. Owo tho onahaala waaviiha achu oothene yaale akhwile. Mwaanyiherye yeeyo enahaalaaya otaphulela wa nyuwo. Owo oolaiherya wi “othene akhwile anamuhuhumuwa.” (Isaiya 26:19) Ti yeeyo Piipiliya oniichaneiye ovinya mookhwani.

4. (a) Tiheeni enii enilipihe vaavaa amusi ni asinthamwene anakhwaaya? (b) Taani yaari asinthamwene akina a Yesu?

⁴ Vaavaa onakhweiye mmusi naari nthamwene,  wiicela onakhala otokweene ni woohivileleya. Ninnayeleela ewehereryo. Hannawerya weera echu wi nimviihe ole okhwile. Nyenya Piipiliya onnanilipiha. (Mwaalakhanye 2 Korinto 1:3, 4.) Hankooni nthokororye yootakiherya emoha enooniherya wi Yehova ni Yesu annachuna waaviiha yaale akhwile. Vaavaa Yesu aareiye veelaponi yavathi, owo aanamuxekurya wiiliwiili Lasaro ni murokora awe, Marta ni Mariya. Oothene yaari asinthamwene a Yesu. Piipiliya onii: “Yesu ànàkhwela Marta, munnawe Mariya ni Lázaro.” Nyenya nihiku nikina Lasaro aakhwa.—Yohani 11:3-5.

5, 6. (a) Tiheeni Yesu eenreiye vaavaa aawooneiye amusi ni asinthamwene a Lasaro yinlaka? (b) Ntakhara heeni ennanihakararya osuwela mukhalelo Yesu onooneiye okhwa?

⁵ Yesu aanachuna omuhakararya Marta ni Mariya. Vaavaa Marta iiwaleiye wi Yesu aanarwa, owo aamuthikirerya. Aatepa ohakalala aamoonneiye Yesu, nyenya aalocano: “Pwiya, warì vava munnaka hakakhwile.” Marta uupuwela wi Yesu aatepa olekela ophiya. Vaavaa Yesu aamonneiye Mariya, anlaka, eyo yaamuthananiha, nave tho aahinla. (Yohani 11:21, 33, 35) Owo ahoona wiicela otokotoko onarweela mu omuyeleela oosiveliwa mookhwani.

⁶ Osuwela mukhalelo Yesu onooneiye okhwa, ennanivaha nihakararyo. Nave Yesu ori ntoko Atiithi awe. (Yohani 14:9) Yehova ookhalano ikuru sa omaliha okhwa okhala wookhala, nave ti yeeyo onahaaleiye weera moohilekela.

7, 8. Ntakhara heeni Marta haachuna wi nluku naaciyeliweno nihiye na Lasaro niviihiwevo, nyenya tiheeni Yesu eenreiye?

⁷ Yesu aaphiya onihiyeni aavithiwewo Lasaro, mulako  wa nihiye nlo waaciyeliwe ni nluku ntokweene. Yesu aaloca: “Vìhanvo nluku.” Nyenya Marta haachuna wi niviihiwevo, ntakhara yaaviravo “mahiku masese” nave mwiili wa Lasaro waahuuca. (Yohani 11:39) Owo haasuwela yeeyo Yesu aahaaleiye weera.

⁸ Yesu aaloca wa Lasaro: “Khumelá vate!” Yeeyo Marta ni Mariya yoonnaaya yaari yootikhiniha. Piipiliya onii: “Nave yole ari òkhwa àvinya, ahuruweliwe inani ni mata ene ni ikuwo.” (Yohani 11:43, 44) Lasaro aakookiheryiwa ekumi wanaawiili! Owo aakookela okhala ni amusi vamoha ni asinthamwene awe. Awo yaanawerya omukhuphaarela, omphara, ni ochekulano. Ela yootikhiniha etokhweene! Yesu aamviiha Lasaro.

9, 10. (a) Taani aamvanhe Yesu ikuru wi aaviihe achu? (b) Ntakhara heeni saweereya sa ovinya mookhwani ti soochuneya wa hiyo?

⁹ Apwanne Yesu aaviiha achu ni ikuru sawe? Hooye. Ahaakumve omviiha Lasaro, Yesu aavekela wa Yehova, nave Yehova aamvaha ikuru sa omviiha Lasaro. (Mwaalakhanye Yohani 11:41, 42.) Lasaro tahi aari yooworu aaviihiwe. Piipiliya onnanleela sa nahano a iyaakha 12 yoowo iiceliwa. Atiithi awe, Xairo, hiyaarino ewehereryo, nave yaamwaavya Yesu wi ampenuxe mwanawe. Owo aari mwanawe mmoharu. Elukuluku yeeyo aaloceiye ni Yesu, aarwa mulopwana aloca ariki: “Mwana-à amwamuthiyana òkhwa. Onamùkhulelani muhusiha?” Nyenya Yesu aaloca wa Xairo: “Ohòve etxhu, ororomele pahi.” Voocharela yaaya vaate va Xairo. Yaacamelaka vaate, Yesu aanawiiwa achu yinlaka. Yesu aalocano: “Munanlelani? Mwana ola hakhwile, onamurupa!” Xairo ni amwaariye hiiyiiwexenxe yeeyo Yesu aachuneiye oloca. Yesu aahaakumiherya vaate achu oothene,  nave aamukuxa Xairo ni mwaariye avolowano mpa aareiyemo mwaana. Yesu aaphara ntata na mwaana owo nave aalocano: “Nahano vinyá!” Mwaanyiherye ohakalala wa asitiithi awe vaavaa owo aaviihiweiye nave apacerya weeca! Yesu aamviiha mwanaya amwaamuthiyana. (Marko 5:22-24, 35-42; Luka 8:49-56) Ovinyerya nihiku nenle oya ohoolo, vaavaa yanwehaaya mwanaya, yaanuupuwela yeeyo Yehova eenreiye orweela wa Yesu. *

¹⁰ Yaale Yesu aaviihaleiye, ohoolo waya yaakhwa. Nyenya saweereya seiha nnaalakhanyaahu ti soochuneya wa hiyo ntakhara sinnanivaha ewehereryo yeeparipari. Yehova onnachuna waaviiha achu, nave owo onahaala weerano.

11. Tiheeni Eklesiyaste 9:5 onanihusiheiye vooloca sa Lasaro?

¹¹ Piipiliya onnaloca mookwakwaleya wi “akhwile hanasuwelaru etxhu.” Ti yeeyo yeeren’ye ni Lasaro. (Eklesiyaste 9:5) Hiiha ntoko Yesu aalonceiye, yaakhanle ntoko wi Lasaro aamukona. (Yohani 11:11) Elukuluku yeeyo aareiye mmahiyeni, Lasaro haasuwelaru “etxhu.”

12. Nnasuwela hai wi Lasaro aaviihiwa chiryene?

¹² Vaavaa Yesu aamviihaleiye Lasaro, achu ancipale yaahoona yeeyo. Ophiyerya tho amwiicani a Yesu yaanasuwela wi owo aheera yootikhiniha yeela. Lasaro aari mukumi, nave eyo yaanavaha onamoona wi chiryene aaviihiwa mookhwani. (Yohani 11:47) Nave tho,  achu ancipale yaanaya omuxekurya Lasaro, nave ntoko yookhumelela, awo yaapacerya weemererya wi Yesu aarumihiwe ti Muluku. Amwiicani a Yesu hiyaasiveliweno yeela, mwa yeeyo yaalakelela omwiipha Yesu vamoha ni Lasaro.—Yohani 11:53; 12:9-11.

13. Ntakhara heeni nnaphwanelaahu ororomela wi Yehova onahaala waaviiha alipa ookhwa?

¹³ Yesu aaloca wi “othene ari mmahiyeni [anuupuweleliwa]” enarwa eviihiwa. (Yohani 5:28) Ela enataphulela wi oothene yaale Yehova onawuupuweleiye anahaala okookela okhala akumi. Nyenya wi Yehova amviihe muchu, owo onaphwanela wuupuwelela ichu soothene sa muchu owo. Apwanne owo ookhalano owerya yoowo? Aai, wirimu sookhalawo itheneeri macikhwi macikhweene. Piipiliya onaloca wi Yehova oosuwela nsina na emoha ti emoha. (Mwaalakhanye Isaiya 40:26.) Woona wi owo onnawerya wuupuwelela nsina na etheneeri ti etheneeri, moohikhwa minikwa owo onanwerya wuupuwelela makhalelo oothene a yaale onahaaleiye waaviiha. Echu yoochuneyaxa, ti yawi Yehova mpatuxa a ichu soothene, mwawiihiiha ninnasuwela wi owo ookhalano ikuru sa waakookiherya okumi yaale akhwile.

14, 15. Masu a Yupu ananihusiha eheeni vooloca sa ovinya mookhwani?

¹⁴ Mulopwana oororomeleya Yupu aanaroromela wi alipa ookhwa anahaala oviihiwa. Owo aakoha: “Mutxhu okhwile onnakòka akhala?” Voocharela owo aaloca wa Yehova: “Nyuwano munamukitxhana nave miyano kinamwakhula; nyuwano munamwèliwa murima ni miyano, ntakhara mukipatunse.” Aai, Yupu aanasuwela wi ennoorwa elukuluku yeeyo Yehova onahaaleiye waaviiha alipa ookhwa.—Yobi 14:13-15.

 ¹⁵ Ewehereryo ya ovinya mookhwani henoohakalalihaani? Akhweya munanwerya okoha, ‘Hanka vooloca sa amusi ni asinthamwene aka akhwile, apwanne anahaala oviihiwa tho?’ Ti yoohakalaliha wa hiyo osuwela wi Yehova chiryene onnachuna waaviiha alipa ookhwa. Vooloca sa taani anahaala oviihiwa nave enii ekhaleke woowi, hankooni noone yeeyo Piipiliya onaloceiye.

16. Yaale enii eviihiwe wi ekhaleke veelaponi yavathi, okumi wa mukhalelo taani anahaalaaya okhalano?

¹⁶ Khalai, yaale yaaviihiwe yaakookela okhala ni amusi aya vamoha ni asinthamwene aya veelaponi yeela yavathi. Ela tho enahaala weereya omwaahiyu, nyenya eyo enahaala okhala yoohakalalihaxa. Ntakhara heeni? Ntakhara yaale anahaala oviihiwa wi ekhaleke veelaponi yavathi anahaala okhalano ekari ya okhalano ekumi yoohimala ni ohikhwa wanaawiili. Nave anahaala okhala mu elapo yoohiyana ni yeela nnakhalaahumo olelo. Hikhalavo ikhoco, nlala, naari wiiceliwa.

17. Taani anahaala oviihiwa?

¹⁷ Taani anahaala oviihiwa? Yesu aaloca wi “othene ari mmahiyeni [anuupuweleliwa] aneraya yiwe nsu nawe, . . . anamukhumamo.” (Yohani 5:28, 29) Nave liivuru a Wupulula 20:13 onnanleela: “Ephareya yàhavelèla alipa òkhwa aya yari mwemmo. Hihatho okhwa ni elapo ya alipa òkhwa sàhavelèlatho alipa òkhwa aya.” Aai, macikhwi macikhweene a achu anahaala oviihiwa. Murummwa Paulo aaloca tho wi oothene “ékhaikhai ni óhikhala ékhaikhai” anahaala oviihiwa mookhwaani. (Mwaalakhanye Saweriwa T’arummwa 24:15, Nlakano Nahihano.) Ela enataphulela eheeni?

18. Achu “ékhaikhai” anahaala oviihiwa mookhwani taani?

 ¹⁸ Achu “ékhaikhai,” anaahiwa akapuro a Yehova oororomeleya yaawo yaakhanle Yesu ahaakumve orwa veelaponi yavathi. Ntoko Noowa, Aaparahamu, Saara, Moose, Rute, ni Estere, anahaala oviihiwa wi ekhaleke veelaponi yavathi. Nyuwaano munahaala waalakhanya saweereya sa alopwana yaala ni athiyana mu Ahebri  ecima 11. Hanka vooloca sa akapuro ahiihaano a Yehova yaawo anakhwa mmahiku ahu yaala? Awo tho achu “ékhaikhai,” nave anahaala tho oviihiwa.

20. Ntakhara heeni achu oothene akhwile heviihiwa?

²⁰ Apwanne ela enataphulela wi oothene yaale akhwile anahaala oviihiwa? Hooye. Yesu aaloca wi achu akina heviihiwa mookhwani. (Luka 12:5) Taani onahaala olakelela wakhala wi muchu onnaphwanela oviihiwa naari hooye? Yehova muthoriha ookuchula, nyenya Yehova tho oomweera Yesu okhala “muthoriha a akumi ni atxhu òkhwa.” (Saweriwa T’arummwa 10:42) Amutakhali ahinacharuwa henii eviihiwe mookhwani.—Moone Yooleeliherya 19.

21, 22. (a) Oviihiwa oya wirimu enataphulela eheeni? (b) Taani aari oopacerya oviihiwa wi aye wirimu?

²¹ Piipiliya tho onnanleela wi achu akina anahaala okhala wirimu. Vaavaa muchu onaviihiweiye wi akhaleke wirimu, owo hanaviihiwa arino mwiili ntoko muchu. Owo onaviihiwa ntoko munepa.

²² Yesu aari muchu oopacerya waakhela mukhalelo yoowo wa ovinya. (Yohani 3:13) Emanle mahiku mararu Yesu akhwile, Yehova aamviiha Yesu. (Salumu 16:10; Saweriwa T’arummwa 13:34, 35) Yesu haaviihiwe arino mwiili ntoko muchu. Murummwa Pedro aaloca wi Yesu  “òkhwa mmwilini, nto òvinya mokhwani mmunepani.” (1 Pedro 3:18) Yesu aakookiheryiwa okumi ntoko yoopatuxiwa yakuru yoomunepani! (1 Korinto 15:3-6) Nyenya Piipiliya onnanleela wi Yesu hakhala mukhateiye.

23, 24. Taani ari a “muhuwo mukhani” yaawo Yesu aalonceiye, nave ancipale anahaala okhala woowi?

²³ Ahaakumve okhwa, Yesu ahaaleela oohuserya awe oororomeleya ariki: “Kinnaya woreheryelani mpuro.” (Yohani 14:2) Ela enataphulela wi oomuchara akina a Yesu yaahaala oviihiwa wi yakhaleke ni yoowo wirimu. Anahaala okhala akavi? Yesu aaloca wi yahaala okhala a vakhaani, “muhuwo mukhani.” (Luka 12:32) Murummwa Yohani ooloca waaca waya vaavaa owo aalonceiye wi Yesu aheemela “vamwako Siau. Ni [yowo] yàkhalavo atxhu matxikhwi nsana nimoha ni matxikhwi makhumi masese ni masese [144.000].”—Wupulula 14:1.

²⁴ Akiristu Yaala 144.000 apacenrye oviihiwa liini? Piipiliya onnanleela wi eyo yaahaala weereya Kiristu apacenrye olamulela wirimu. (1 Korinto 15:23) Hiyaano nnakhala mu elukuluku yeeyo, nave ancipale a Akiristu yaala 144.000 aaviihiwa, nave hiihaano ari wirimu. Yaale nlelo ari veelaponi yavathi ni yaale anakhwa mmahiku ahu yaala annaviihiwa moohilekela wi eye wirimu. Nyenya, achu ancipale anahaala oviihiwa omwaahiyu wi ekhale Mparataiso veelaponi yeela yavathi.

25. Tiheeni nnahaalaahu ohuserya mmwaha onacharela?

²⁵ Moohilekela, Yehova onahaala owoopola achu oothene mu okapuro wa okhwa, nave okhwa horwa okhala! (Mwaalakhanye Isaiya 25:8.) Nyenya ale anaya wirimu, tiheeni anahaalaaya weeraka weiwo? Piipiliya onnaloca wi awo anaya olamulelaka ni Yesu mu Omwene. Nnahaala ohuserya sincipale vooloca sa Omwene yoola mmwaha onacharela.
