Tyotyili, tunde kohale, ovanthu kavekahi nokutumina nawa. (Tanga Eclesiastes 8:9.) Mongeleka, Saulu ankho omunthu omuwa nokueliola omutima etyi Jeova emuholovona opo akale ohamba. Mahi, wakala nomalityindailo nonkhi ahimbika okumonesa ononkhumbi David. (1 Samuel 9:20, 21; 10:20-22; 18:7-11) Konyima, David akala ohamba imwe  ongwa melongo lio Isilayeli. Mahi, kaundapesile nawa epondolo liae etyi apolapo omukai wa Uria, omu Hitita, iya atumu omulume wae komutwe wovita opo aipawe. (2 Samuel 11:1-17) Ngotyo tuatala okuti oukuankhali ulingisa ovanthu okuhaundapesa nawa epondolo liavo. Iya tyina vana vekahi koutumini vahakala nonthilo na Jeova, ovitateka vivilapo. Konyima yokupopia onkhalelo ono papa mbo Katolika vamonesa ononkhumbi ovanthu, omulume wo ko Britania wati: “Outumini unyona, iya tyina omunthu ena outumini omunene unyona vali unene.” Okusoka konondaka ombo, tutalei epulo eli: Omokonda yatyi tuesukisila okukala nonthilo novatumini?

Tukuatesako Ouhamba wae nokutavela okutuminwa nae kese nthiki.

⁷ Okukala nonthilo noutumini wa Jeova muakutikinya okutavela ovipuka etutuma. Onthue tutavela Jeova mokonda tumuhole. Mahi, ovikando vimwe katyapepukile okutavela. Movikando ovio, tuesukisa okutavela natyina tuhahande,  ngetyi omona wapopiwa konthyimbi yokapitulu aka. Tutyii okuti Jesus wetavelele ehando lia He namphila ankho katyapepukile. Oe watolela He okuti: “Tyilingwe ngetyi ove wahanda, hangetyiko ame nahanda.”—Lucas 22:42.

⁸ Tyotyili, Jeova hono kapopi nonthue; uundapesa Ondaka yae navana aholovona pano pohi. Ngotyo, ovikando ovinyingi tulekesa okuti tutavela outumini wa Jeova pokukala nonthilo novanthu aavela outumini, ine vana ayeka vatualeko nokutumina. Inkha katutavela kovanthu ovo—okuhetavela eviyulo liavo nonondonga mbapolwa Mombimbiliya—matunumanesa Huku. Etyi ova Isilayeli vahimbika okuñgoñga, nokutyitukilapo Moisesi, Jeova wetyitalele ngatyina oe vatyitukilapo.—Números 14:26, 27.

9. Omokonda yatyi okukala nohole navakuetu tyituavela ondundo yokukala nonthilo novatumini? Ava ongeleka.

(Salmo 68:11; Ezequiel 37:1-10) Inkha katutavela vana Jeova apaka koutumini, tukahi nokupaka motyiponga vakuetu, navo omafualali a Huku.  Tyina Omukristau ehetavela kovakulu vewaneno, vakuavo mewaneno navo vamona ononkhumbi. (1 Coríntios 12:14, 25, 26) Tyina omona umwe omphuki, ombunga aiho imona ononkhumbi. Tulekesa ohole na vakuetu, pokukala nonthilo nokuundapela kumwe.

(Deuteronômio 5:16; Efésios 6:2, 3) Utupopila opo tukale nonthilo novakulu vewaneno, mokonda inkha katulingi ngotyo, matyinyono oupanga wetu na Jeova Huku. (Hebreus 13:7, 17) Iya wetutolela tutavele ovatumini vomouye mokonda vetuamena.—Romanos 13:4.

¹² Jeova ondyivi-ndyivi yombunga. Mokonda o Huku yeonganeko, waonganeka ombunga opo yundape nawa. (1 Coríntios 14:33) Waavela omulume otyitumino tyokukala onkhalamutue yombunga. Omulume ulekesa onthilo ku Kristu Jesus, omutwe wae, mokuhetekela onkhalelo Jesus ahongolela ewaneno. (Efésios 5:23) Ngotyo, omulume una okufuisapo otyilinga tyae, kapondola okukala omukalavi ine okutekula ombunga noonya, mahi una okupola pokati, nokukala noluembia. Omulume una okuimbuka okuti outumini wae kawevililepo vali koutumini wa Jeova.

13. Oñgeni omukai apondola okufuisapo otyilinga tyae mombunga monkhalelo imwe ihambukiswa Jeova?

¹³ Omukai walingua opo akale omukuatesiko womulume. Tupu una outumini mombunga, mokonda Ombimbiliya ipopia “onondonga mba nyoko.” (Provérbios 1:8) Tyotyili, outumini wae kaulambe womulume  wae. Omukai Omukristau ulekesa onthilo nomulume wae mokumukuatesako okufuisapo otyilinga tyounkhalamutwe yombunga. Kemutombo, nokulipaka komutwe womulume wae. Mahi, umukuatesako nokuundapela kumwe. Tyina ehetavela omatokolo omulume, una okupopia nae nonthilo, mahi atualako nokumutavela. Inkha omulume wae kelilongesa, oe upondola okukala novitateka viepuiya, mahi okutualako okutavela tyipondola okulunda omulume okufenda Jeova.—Tanga 1 Pedro 3:1.

14. Oñgeni ovana vapondola okuhambukiswa ovohe na Jeova?

¹⁴ Ovana vahambukiswa omutima wa Jeova tyina vetavela nokuhumba ovohe. (Provérbios 10:1) Ovana vatekulwa vala na he ine oina, navo valandula otyitumino tyokutavela, okuimbuka okuti he ine oina wesukisa vali ombatelo yavo nokuundapela kumwe. Onombunga mbukala nombembwa onene nehambu tyina aveho vafuisapo otyilinga vapewa na Huku. Otyo tyietela enkhimano  Jeova Huku, Omupakeko wonombunga ambuho.—Efésios 3:14, 15.

15. (a) Oñgeni matulekesa mewaneno okuti tuna onthilo noutumini wa Jeova? (b) Ovitumino patyi mavitukuatesako okutavela ovakulu vewaneno? (Tala okakasa “ Tavelei ku Vana Vekahi Komutwe.”)

¹⁵ Jeova waholovona Omona wae ahongolele ewaneno lio Vakristau. (Colossenses 1:13) Jesus waholovona “omupika wekolelo nokualunguka” opo akuateseko ovanthu va Huku pano pohi okufenda Huku. (Mateus 24:45-47) Ononkhalamutwe mbo Nombangi mba Jeova ovo vaihanwa okuti “omupika wekolelo nokualunguka.” Ngetyi tyaendele pomuvo wo Vakristau votete, ovakulu vewaneno hono vapewa eviyulo nonondonga no Nonkhalamutwe mbo Nombangi mba Jeova, tyilinge momikanda ine novatalelipo vomawaneno. Tyina tukala nonthilo nehongolelo liovakulu vewaneno, tukahi nokutavela Jeova. —Tanga 1 Tessalonicenses 5:12; Hebreus 13:17.

16. Omonkhalelo patyi ovakulu vewaneno vaholovonwa nospilitu sandu?

¹⁶ Ovakulu vewaneno novakuatesiko vovakulu vewaneno ovakuankhali. Ovo vaponyoka, ngetyi atuho tuponyoka. Ovakulu vewaneno ‘ovalume Jeova aava’ pala okukuatesako ewaneno opo lipame mopaspilitu. (Efésios 4:8) Ovakulu vewaneno vaholovonwa nospilitu sandu. (Atos 20:28) Ñgeni ngotyo? Tyina nkhele veheneholovonwe, ovalume ovo vesukisa okufuisapo ovitumino vikahi Mondaka ya Huku. (1 Timóteo 3:1-7, 12; Tito 1:5-9) Tupu, ovakulu vewaneno vatala inkha omukuatate ekahi nokufuisapo ovitumino vikahi Mondaka ya Huku avelikuambela nomutima auho okuita ehongolelo liospilitu sandu.

17. Omokonda yatyi ovakai Ovakristau pamwe vakuta elesu komutwe tyina valinga otyilinga mewaneno?

Mahi, tyina omukai alinga otyilinga ñgeno ankho tyilingwa nomukuatate wambatisalua, una okukuta elesu komutwe. * (1 Coríntios 11:3-10) Okukuta elesu komutwe katyitombesa ovakai. Mahi, tyiveavela omphitilo yokulekesa onthilo kotyitumino tyounkhalamutwe wapakuako na Jeova tyilinge mombunga nomewaneno.

18, 19. (a) Oñgeni ove uhangununa otyitumino tyikahi mu Romanos 13:1-7? (b) Oñgeni tulekesa okuti tuna onthilo novatumini vomouye?

¹⁸ Ovakristau votyotyili vetavela otyitumino tyahonekua mu Romanos 13:1-7. (Tanga.) Tyina utanga onondaka ombu, upondola okutala okuti “ovatumini” vapopiwa apa ovatumini vouye. Putyina Jeova ayeka vatualeko okutumina, ovo valinga ovilinga viakolela, okutualako okuyunga nawa ovanthu nokufuisapo ovilinga viesukisa. Tulekesa onthilo kovatumini ovo mokutavela ovitumino viavo. Tufetei apeho omalilimu, nokuhoneka nawa omikanda ovatumini vetuita nokutavela ovitumino vitukuatesako onthue nombunga yetu, no nondando, nomalumono. Mahi, katutavela ovitumino vituhindila okuhetavela ovitumino via Huku. Monkhalelo oyo, tulinga ngetyi tyalingile ono Apostolu etyi vati: “Tuna okutavela ku Huku, tyipona kovanthu.”—Atos 5:28, 29; tala pokakasa kati “ Outumini Walie Ndyina Okutavela?”.

¹⁹ Tupu tulekesa okuti tuna onthilo novatumini monkhalelo  tupopia navo. Pamwe tuesukisa okupopia novanthu vaundapa kumwe novatumini. Apostolu Paulu wapopile novatumini, ngo Hamba Herode Agripa Nomutumini Festu. Ovalume ovo ankho valinga oviponyo ovinene, mahi Paulu wapopile navo nonthilo. (Atos 26:2, 25) Tuhetekelei ongeleka ya Paulu, tyilinge tupopia novatumini ovanene ine omakakunye opotyilongo. Kosikola, ovakuendye Ovakristau vaovola okulekesa onthilo oyo kovalongesi, ovatumini, na vana vaundapa kosikola. Onthue katulekesa vala onthilo kuvana vetavela omalongeso etu, tupu tulekesa onthilo kuvana vapopia omapita Onombangi mba Jeova. Tyotyili, ovanthu aveho vahafende Jeova vena okutyimona okuti tuna onthilo novanthu.—Tanga Romanos 12:17, 18; 1 Pedro 3:15.

20, 21. Ouwa patyi utundilila kokukala nonthilo novatumini?

²⁰ Tukalei apeho nonthilo. Apostolu Petulu wahoneka okuti: “Humbei ovanthu aveho.” (1 Pedro 2:17) Tyina ovanthu vetyimona okuti tuna onthilo navo, otyo tyivehindila okupopia nawa konthele yetu. Hinangela okuti, ovanthu mouye hono vetupu onthilo navakuavo.

Mahi, namphila ovanthu vahaendela motyitei, tupondola okukala nonthumbi yokuti: onthilo tuna novanthu ihambukiswa Jeova Huku nokutukuatesako okutualako okukala mohole yae. Okuti pena ouwa wavilapo vali tyipona okukala mohole ya Huku?
