 PATUKATA nchito yolalikila tuyembekezela kusushiwa. Ndipo kusushiwa uku kuyangizhyilike msogolo. (Dan. 11:44; 2 Tim. 3:12; Chiv. 16:21) Olo n’tetyo, tingankhale osimikizhya kuti Yehova atiyavye.

2. Kansi Yehova efotokozanji zokhuza ŵanthu a m’gao yeenzolalikilamo Ezekieli, ndipo tilaŵizhyane cinji m’nkhani ino? (Ezekieli 2:3-6)

² Kansi ni ŵanthu otyani amene enzopezeka m’gao yeenzolalikilamo mneneli Ezekieli? Yehova efotokoza kuti ŵanthu aŵa enze “osamvwa,” “ayumu mitima” koma soti “opanduka.” Ove enze oyofya monga ni minga koma soti oyofya monga ni vinkhanila.

Caciŵili, eyavyiwa na mzimu utuŵa. Ndipo cacitatu, eyavyiwa na Mau a Mulungu. Kansi vinthu vitatu ivi vemuyavya tyani Ezekieli? Nanga seo masiku ŵano vingatiyavye tyani?

3. Kansi ni mau otyani elimbikisha mneneli Ezekieli, ndipo Yehova emusimikizhyila tyani kuti amuyavye?

³ Yehova euzhya Ezekieli kuti: “Nukutumizhya.” (Ezek. 2:3, 4) Mau aŵa yemulimbikisha ngako Ezekieli. Motyani? Mosakaikila, yove ekumbukila kuti Yehova eseŵenzesha mau amozimozi posankha Mose koma soti Yesaya kuti ankhale aneneli ŵake.

Kaŵili konse, Yehova euzhya Ezekieli kuti: “Nukutumizhya.” Tetyo, mneneli uyu enze na vifukwa vomvwika vokhulupilila Yehova. Kuyangizhyila apo, Ezekieli elemba mau akuti: “Yehova elaŵila nane.” (Ezek. 3:16) Mowelezhyawelezhya, yove elemba soti mau akuti: “Yehova epitilizhya kulaŵila nane.” (Ezek. 6:1) Kulaŵila cendi, Ezekieli esimikizhya kuti Yehova niye emutuma cifukwa cakuti monga mwana wa mneneli, cuoneka kuti ausuwake emuphunzisa kuti nthawi zonse Yehova enzolaŵila na aneneli ŵake pofuna kuŵasimikizhyila kuti enze nao.

Yehova efotokoza kuti: “Ng’anda ya Isiraeli ikakane kukumvwila, cifukwa ove ofuna lini kunimvwila.” (Ezek. 3:7) Mwa kukana Ezekieli, zeonesha kuti ekana Yehova. Mau aŵa yelimbikisha Ezekieli poziŵa kuti olo kuti ŵanthu ekana uthenga wake, ziliyotanthauze kuti ekangiwa monga mneneli.

5. Kansi Yesaya 44:8 yutilimbikisha tyani kuti tipitilizhye kulalikila?

⁵ Nase tulimbikishiwa ngako poziŵa kuti Yehova niye etituma kuti tikokata nchito yolalikila. Tetyo, ni mwai ukulu ngako kunkhala  “Mboni” zake. (Yes. 43:10) Monga ni mwamene Yehova elimbikishila Ezekieli kuti: “Usacite wowa,” nase otilimbikisha kuti: “Usacite wowa.” Ndaŵa yanji tufunika lini kuyopa osusha? Molingana na Ezekieli, nase tetumiwa na Yehova ndipo yove oticilikiza.​—Ŵelengani Yesaya 44:8.

6. (a) Kansi Yehova otisimikizhyila tyani kuti akotiyavya? (b) N’cinji cutilimbikisha kuti tipitilizhye kulalikila?

⁶ Yehova otisimikizhyila kuti akotiyavya.

Olo n’tetyo, Yehova otiyavya kupitilizhya kulalikila. (Yes. 41:13) Monga ni mwezenzele m’masiku a Ezekieli, olo masiku ŵano ŵanthu anyinji okana uthenga uweme. Izi zutanthauza lini kuti tulalikila lini bwino. Koma tulimbikishiwa poziŵa kuti Yehova okondwela ngako ngati tupitilizhya kulalikila mokhulupilika. Mtumwi Paulo ekamba kuti: “Aliyense akalandile mphoto yake mokatizhyana na nchito yake.” (1 Akor. 3:8; 4:1, 2) Mpainiya muyakine wamene watumikila kwa nthawi itali, elaŵila kuti: “Nusangalala ngako poziŵa kuti Yehova odalisa kuyesayesa kwasu.”

7. Kansi Ezekieli enzokumvwa tyani nthawi zonse akaganizila za mensomphenya yeciona? (Onani cithunzithunzi pacikuto.)

⁷ Zeciona Ezekieli m’mensomphenya, zemusimikizhyila kuti mzimu wa Mulungu ni wamphamvu. Zemusimikizhyila soti kuti mzimu utuŵa wenzoyavya angelo amphamvu nocitisha kuti mawilo ya galeta ya kululu yakoyenda. (Ezek. 1:20, 21) Kansi Ezekieli ecitanji? Yove elaŵila kuti, “Peneona izi, necita cidwi ngako cakuti negwada noŵelama mpaka pansi.” (Ezek. 1:28) Nthawi zonse Ezekieli akaganizila za mensomphenya yeciona yocitisha cidwi, zenzomupasa cidalilo cakuti mzimu wa Mulungu umuyavye kukwanilisha utumiki wake.

8-9. (a) N’cinji cecitika kwa Ezekieli pamene Yehova emulamula kuti apaname? (b) Kansi emukonzekelesha tyani kuti akwanishe kulalikila m’gao yovuta?

⁸ Yehova euzhya Ezekieli kuti: “Weo Mwana wa munthu, nyamuka kuti nilaŵile nawe.” Mau aŵa yemuyavya ngako Ezekieli kuti apeze mphamvu zeenzofunikila kuti apaname. Ezekieli elaŵila kuti: “Mzimu weloŵa muli neo ndipo wenicitisha kuti nipaname.” (Ezek. 2:1, 2) Kuyambila nthawi yamene iyo kuluta msogolo, enzosogolelewa na Mulungu. (Ezek. 3:22; 8:1; 33:22; 37:1; 40:1) Mzimu wa Mulungu weyavya Ezekieli kukwanilisha utumiki wake wolalikila ŵanthu a m’gao yake amene enze “ayumu.” (Ezek. 3:7) Yehova euzhya Ezekieli kuti: “Nacitisha cinso cako kunkhala cotang’a molingana na vinso vao koma soti mphumi yako kunkhala yotang’a monga ni mphumi zao. Nacitisha mphumi yako kunkhala yotang’a monga ni mwala wa dayamondi, wamene upambana mwala wa nsangalabwi. Usaŵayope olo kucita mantha na vinso vao.” (Ezek. 3:8, 9) Izi zenze monga kuti Yehova ouzhya Ezekieli kuti: ‘Usalole kuti kuyuma kwao kukufookeshe, neo nikucilikize.’

⁹ Mzimu wa Mulungu wetola Ezekieli noluta naye m’gao yeenzofunikila kulalikila. Elaŵila kuti: “Kwanja ya Yehova yenikata mwamphamvu.” Zemutolela wiki imozi kuti  aphunzile nomvwishisha uthenga weenzofunikila kulalikila na colinga cakuti akalalikile motang’a mtima. (Ezek. 3:14, 15) Pavuli pake, Yehova emuuzhya kuti alute ku cigwa ndipo kwamene uku “mzimu wa Mulungu weloŵa muli [yove].” (Ezek. 3:23, 24) Kufumila pa nthawi yamene iyo, Ezekieli enze wokonzeka kuyamba utumiki wake.

Molingana na Ezekieli, nase masiku ŵano tukwanisha kucita nchito yolalikila cifukwa coyavyiwa na mzimu wa Mulungu. Zili teti cifukwa cakuti Satana otiukila na colinga cakuti tileke kulalikila. (Chiv. 12:17) Malinga ni kaonedwe ka umunthu, tingaone kuti n’zosakwanishika kugonjesa Satana. Koma kupitila mu nchito yolalikila, tukwanisha kumugonjesa. (Chiv. 12:9-11) Motyani? Ngati tutolamo mbali mu nchito yolalikila, tuonesha kuti tucita lini wowa na zoyesayesa za Satana. Nthawi zonse ngati talalikila, Satana ogonjesewa. Tukwanisha kupitilizhya kulalikila olo kuti adani ŵasu otisusha. Kansi izi zutisimikizhyila cinji? Zutisimikizhyila kuti Yehova otipasa mphamvu poseŵenzesha mzimu wake utuŵa.​—Mat. 5:10-12; 1 Pet. 4:14.

11. Kansi mzimu wa Mulungu utiyavya tyani, ndipo tingacitenji kuti tipitilizhye kuulandila?

¹¹ Kansi n’cinji ciyakine catuphunzilapo tikaganizila mwamene Yehova eyavyila Ezekieli kupeza mphamvu zeenzofunikila kuti akwanishe kulalikila?

Tufunika kupemphela mosalekezhya tili na cidalilo cakuti Yehova aamvwe pemphelo yasu. Yesu ephunzisa ophunzila ŵake kuti: “Pitilizhyani kusenga, . . . pitilizhyani kusakilasakila, . . . pitilizhyani kugogoda.” Pavuli pake, Yehova “apeleke mzimu wake kuli ŵanthu amene omusenga.”​—Luka 11:9, 13; Mac. 1:14; 2:4.

12. Molingana na Ezekieli 2:9–3:3, kansi mpukutu wefumila kuni, ndipo n’cinji cenze mkati?

¹² Ezekieli aliyoyavyiwe tyala na mzimu wa Mulungu kuti akwanishe kulalikila. Koma eyavyiwa soti na Mau a Mulungu. M’mensomphenya, eona kwanja yakatilila mpukutu. (Ŵelengani Ezekieli 2:9–3:3.) Kansi mpukutu uyu wefumila kuni? Kansi n’cinji cenze mu mpukutu uyu? Kansi wemuyavya tyani Ezekieli? Mpukutu uyu wefumila ku mpando wacifumu wa Mulungu. Ndipo cuoneka kuti Yehova eseŵenzesha m’mozi mwa angelo 4 ŵeciona Ezekieli poyamba kuti amupase mpukutu. (Ezek. 1:8; 10:7, 20) Mu mpukutu uyu, mwenze uthenga waciweluzo wamene Ezekieli enzofunika kulalikila kwa akapolo opanduka. (Ezek. 2:7) Ndipo uthenga uyu wenze wolembewa mbali zonse ziŵili za mpukutu.

13. Kansi Yehova euzhya Ezekieli kuti acitenji na mpukutu, ndipo ndaŵa yanji mpukutu uyu wenze wonzuna?

¹³ Yehova euzhya mneneli wake kuti “alye mpukutu uyu.” Ndipo molicefya Ezekieli ecilya mpukutu wonse. Kansi mbali iyi ya mensomphenya yutanthauzanji?

Ezekieli ezindikila kuti mpukutu uyu “wenze wonzuna monga ni uci.” (Ezek. 3:3) Ndaŵa yanji? N’cifukwa cakuti kwa yove, kuseŵenzeshewa na Yehova wenze mwai wapadela. (Sal. 19:8-11) Yove eyamikila ngako kuti Yehova emusankha kunkhala mneneli wake.

¹⁴ Pavuli pake, Yehova euzhya Ezekieli kuti: “Usunge mumtima mwako mau onse yanukuuzhya.” (Ezek. 3:10) Apa Yehova enzouzhya Ezekieli kuti akokumbukila mau onse olembewa mu mpukutu noyasinkhasinkha. Kucita izi kweyavya Ezekieli kutang’isha cikhulupililo cake. Kuyangizhyila apo, kwemuyavya kuuziŵa bwino uthenga weenzofunikila kulalikila. (Ezek. 3:11) Pecimvwisha nokhulupilila uthenga wa Mulungu, enkhala wokonzeka kukwanilisha utumiki wake ndipo eyamba nchito yolalikila.​—Linganizhyani na Salimo 19:14.

15. Kansi n’cinji catufunika ‘kusunga mumtima’ kuti tikwanishe kupilila mu utumiki?

¹⁵ Kuti tikwanishe kupilila mu utumiki, tufunika kupitilizhya kuyavyiwa na Mau a Mulungu. Molingana na Ezekieli, tufunika ‘kusunga mumtima’ mau onse yakutiuzhya Yehova. Masiku ŵano, Yehova olaŵila nase kupitila m’Mau ŵake Baibo. Kansi tingacite tyani kuti Mau a Mulungu akhuze maganizo ŵasu, mwatumvwila koma soti zocita zasu?

16. Kansi Mau a Mulungu angatiyavye tyani, ndipo tingacitenji kuti tikoyamvwishisha?

¹⁶ Monga ni mwamene cakulya cutiyavyila kunkhala otang’a mwamuŵili, kuphunzila Mau a Mulungu nosinkhasinkha kutiyavya kuti tinkhale otang’a mwauzimu. Izi niye zakufuna Yehova kuti tikocita.
