Mahi omutima wae aumutwala kokulinga ovivi, pahe apopila ovatumwa ati: “Ndyitilei-ko-vo ku Siovaa opo ovipuka ovio wapopia vieheye no kwaame.” — Ovil. 8:20-24.

Tyina valinga otyipuka otyo, nii vala kavetyiholeka-le vali.”

Ine Filipi welipulile otyityi akalinga-ko, wetyinoñgonokele vala pweetyi avasa omulume umwe omu Etiopia uya nokutanga ombwingwa yomuuli Isaiya.

Etyi Filipi ehika pomulume una, emupulu okuti: “Otyo uli nokutanga wetyinoñgonoka?” Omu Etiopia akumbulula okuti: “Pahe, mandyinoñgonoka ñgeni nehena-vo ou undongesa?” — Ovil. 8:26-31.

Ngeetyi tyalingile vana vokwambatisalelwe mo Pendekosite menima 33, omu Etiopia pahe ankho wii-ale nawa Ondaka ya Huku, anoñgonoka etyi ena okulinga. Apopila Filipi ati: “Tala!

Etyi Filipi ambatisala omu Etiopia, apewa vali otyilinga otyikwavo, ai noko Asindonde, oku akaivisa oviwa ovipe. — Ovil. 8:32-40.

Tuvasa ovanthu “vovilongo aviho, vomihoko aviho, vomalaka aeho.” (Ehol. 14:6) Etyi onoandyu mbuna nokulinga movilinga viokwivisa tyikahi nokufwisapo etyi Sesusi apopile. Etyi Sesusi apopia onthengele-popia yevu notiluku, apopi okuti “ovateyi onoandyu.” Tupu Sesusi wapopia okuti onoandyu mambupolo “Mouhamba wae ovipuka aviho vipundukisa, novanthu vakalela vala okulinga ovivi.” (Mat. 13:37-41) Onoandyu mbukwatesako aveho vana Siovaa ahanda veye meongano liae. Ovanthu ovo tyati ovo vana mavakatumina na Sesusi keulu, ‘novanthu ovanyingi-nyingi,’ “onongi ononkhwavo.” — Ehol. 7:9; Swau 6:44, 65; 10:16.

Ovanthu ankho vatambula vala ononkhono mba Huku nokulinga ovilinga vihuvisa tyina ovo Petulu na Swau veveyambeka omavoko.
