Momatapalo muli nokwaangauluka ovanthu vatunda kovilongo ovikwavo.

Tyeveeta o Pendekosite, tupu tyitiwa “otyipito tyonthiki yovikuna vyo tete.” (Onob. 28:26) Otyipito otyo tyilingwa like menima pokwamana okuteya osevata, pala okuhimbika okuteya otiliku.

Vakatehela-ko vala keulu kwiivala “omuuno umwe omunene, uti vala nkhwali kuna omphepo onene.” (Ovil. 2:2; Bíblia Fácil de Ler) Mondywo mweliongiya ovalongwa va Sesusi vekehika po 120, amuywele unene. Apamoneka vali otyipuka tyimwe tyihuvisa unene. Oumutemo ulinga ngoti omalaka, uli pomitwe viovalongwa aveho. c Ovalongwa “aveyulwa nomphepo ikola” avahimbika okupopia momalaka ovilongo ovikwavo!

(Ngal. 6:16) Petulu mokwapopia novanthu ovanyingi vali-po, opo ahimbika okuundapa “nonosapi ononthatu mbouhamba.” Onosapi ombo ononthatu ankho mambwiikula omapito ovilinga ovinene. Ankho matyiti ei iikulila ava, ei iikulila ava. (Mat. 16:18, 19) Osapi yo tete, yaikulila epito ova Sundaa naava vehe va Sundaa, vetavela oviwa ovipe, avalembulwa nomphepo ikola ya Huku. d Opo vala opo vakala o Isilayeli ya Huku, pahe avakevelela vakatie ovo onohamba ovo ovanakwa, Mouhamba wa Mesiya. (Ehol. 5:9, 10) Mokweenda kwomuvo, elao olio alikehika umwe noko va Samaliya, no kovanthu ovakwavo vehe va Sundaa. Oityi ovalanduli va Kilisitu vo hono velilongesila kovipuka ovio ovinene viamonekele mo Pendekosite menima 33 P.K.?

Otyo ankho onthyimbi vala yeongano litwalako okukula atee hono! Ovanthu vamwe vatila Huku vewaneno liovalanduli va Kilisitu hono, ovo vapopia “oviwa ovipe Viouhamba” kombanda yoohi aiho opo ovanthu aveho vomihoko nomihoko mwene veliivile-ko tyina nkhele onthyulilo yeheneye. — Mat. 24:14.

Paulu wahonekelele ovalanduli va Kilisitu ova Hembeleu okuti: “Onthwe tusukei na vakwetu opo tyituhohiye molwembia no movilinga oviwa, atwahayeke-po okuliongiya, ngeetyi vamwe vetyiliya, mahi tulipamekei na vakwetu, haunene umwe vali tyina mutala onthiki ili nokufwena-po.” (Hemb. 10:24, 25) Siovaa wetwavela vakwetu tufenda navo vetupameke, noonthwe atuvepameka. Kala apeho ponthele ya vakwenyi mufenda navo Siovaa. Wahayekepo okwenda komaliongiyo!

9, 10. Oityi vamwe vehole okulinga mokuliava vaivise vana vapopia omalaka omakwavo?

Vamwe ankho vapopia o Ngeleku, ava vamwe vapopia o Hembeleu. Mahi aveho valipo, “veivile [ovalongwa] vapopia momalaka avo mwene.” (Ovil. 2:6) Etyi ovanthu vana veiva oviwa ovipe melaka  liavo mwene, atyivehambukiswa unene. Ovalanduli va Kilisitu vo hono kavapelwe ounongo oo wokupopia omalaka omakwavo okovilongo ovikwavo komahuviso.

Omukai oo atyimuhuvisa unene okutala Christine ulikwatehila apopie elaka liae lipwilisa. Pahe esuku nokunoñgonoka oityi Christine elilongesila elaka Gujarati. Christine ngaako umwe ahimbikila oko, apopila oviwa ovipe omukai oo. Pahe omukai oo apopila Christine, ati: “Onwe tyafwa muna otyipuka otyinene mwahanda okutupopila.”

11. Oityi matyitukwatesako tutyivile okupopila oviwa ovipe ovanthu vapopia omalaka omakwavo?

¹¹ Otyili, ha-atuho matutyivili okulilongesa elaka ekwavo. Mahi tupondola okukala tyafwapo, tutyivile okwivisa oviwa ovipe Viouhamba kovanthu vapopia omalaka omakwavo. Oñgeni matutyilingi?

Ine tutyilinga, noonthwe matuhambukwa ngeetyi tyalingile vakwetu vo potyita tyo tete, etyi ovanthu vahuvile okweiva oviwa ovipe momalaka avo mwene.

13, 14. Oityi Petulu alingile ehike komitima vya vana ankho veli nokumutehelela, ya oñgeni onthwe matumuhetekela?

Otyipuka tyimwe Petulu alingile, okwapopia umwe na va Sundaa vakwavo, mahi apopi nonthilo, opo tyivehike komutima. Petulu etyi ankho ahanda hakuvevela  onombei, mahi ankho uhanda okuvekwatesako velivele. Okuti ovanyingi vanumanene etyi veiva onondaka ombo mba Petulu? Nii vala kavanumanene. Mahi etyi veiva onondaka ombo, “atyivelingi navi komutima” avapulu avati: “Vakwe ya pahe tulinga ñgeni?” Tyotyili, omu Petulu apopila okwayemba vala koviwa viatyo, ovanyingi atyivehiki umwe komutima, avelivele. — Ovil. 2:37.

Tyina tuli movilinga viokwivisa, katwesukisile vala okuti tyina twamavasi omunthu upopia etyi tyehelikwatele no Mbimbiliya atuti otyo wapopia hatyoko. Mahi otyiwa okuyemba vali kweevi tweete okuti matulitavela. Ine tulinga ngootyo, matutyivili okulongesa ovanthu Nondaka ya Huku, navo avasoko umwe nawa kweetyi tuli nokutomphola. Ovanthu ovanyingi vokuna omutima omuwa, vatona umwe okutavela otyili tyo Mbimbiliya tyina tutomphola nawa navo.

¹⁵ Monthiki oyo ihambukiswa yo Pendekosite yenima 33, Petulu apopila ova Sundaa na vana vehe va Sundaa vetavela otyili eveti: ‘Livelei, amuho amumbatisalwa.’ (Ovil. 2:38) Opo yatyo umwe, ovanthu vekehika po 3.000 avambatisalwa. Mokutala vambatisalelelwe metangi limwe lili mo Selusalei, okuti hatyo lili vala ponthele po Selusalei yatyo. e Okuti vambatisalelwe vala pahe tyokwati tulinga ñgeni?  Okuti otyo tyilekesa okuti vana vokulongesiwa Ombimbiliya, novana Vonombangi nkhele vehenembatisalwe, vena vala okumbatisalwa, mahi nkhele avehenefwepo? Au, otyo hatyoko. Hinangela okuti, ova Sundaa vana vokwambatisalelwe mo Pendekosite yenima 33 P.K., ankho ovanthu-ale velilongesa Ondaka ya Huku, tupu ankho ovanthu vamwe vatuka movanthu va Siovaa. Tupu ankho vata-le ombili ovilinga vya Huku. Vamwe ankho vatunda kokule-kule okuya motyipito otyo tyilingwa like menima. Etyi vanoñgonoka otyili otyo tyipa ovanthu omwenyo tyayemba kotyilinga Sesusi Kilisitu ena-tyo monomphango mba Huku, pahe ankho vafwapo umwe vatwaleko nokulingila Huku — mahi pahe otyo ovalongwa va Kilisitu vambatisalwa.

16. Oñgeni ovalanduli va Kilisitu vokohale valekesile okuti vahanda okulikwatesako na vakwavo?

¹⁶ Ovalanduli va Kilisitu vokohale ankho vakwatesiwako na Siovaa. Ombimbiliya yati: “Aveho vetavelele ankho veli vala mphangwa ike, ovipuka aviho otyo velitepaulila. Avalandesa ovipuka vena-vio, nomaheke avo, avelitepaulila aveho, atyiti umwe ou wapewa tyae, ou wapewa tyae.” f (Ovil. 2:44, 45) Tyotyili, ovalanduli va Kilisitu aveho vahanda umwe okuhetekela olwembia olo, nokulikwatesako na vakwavo.

17. Ovipuka patyi omunthu ena okulinga opo ambatisalwe?

¹⁷ Ombimbiliya ipopia ovipuka omunthu ena okulinga opo ehike kokumbatisalwa. Wesukisa okunoñgonoka Ondaka ya Huku. (Swau 17:3) Tupu una okuyumba onthumbi mweetyi elilongesa nokulekesa okuti welivela kovipuka ovivi alingaile kohale. (Ovil. 3:19) Pahe apiluluka, ahimbika okulinga ovipuka Huku ahanda. (Loma 12:2; Efe. 4:23, 24) Nga alinga ovipuka ovio, pahe elipakula ku Huku melikwambelo, ambatisalwa. — Mat. 16:24; 1 Pet. 3:21.
