(Jeremiya 13:17; Djona 2:7) Moyo ungabedwe, ungateweredwe, ucimangidwa  na unyolo. (Bzakutonga 24:7; Psalymo 7:5; 105:18) M’mavesi yamweya, fala lakuti “moyo” m’cirewedwe ca Ciheberi, limbasandulizidwa m’maBibliya manango ninga “cakulengedwa” ayai “munthu.” Mafala yenseneya yan’thandauza bzibodzi-bodzi.

Ndipopa Bibliya limbati bza munthu: “Mzimu wace umbacoka, acibwerera ku thaka; nsiku imweyo, bzakukumbuka bzace bzimbamaliratu.”—Psalymo 146:4.

Tsono Adamu alibe kubvera cakutonga ca Yahova, ndipo adapasidwa nyathwa ya infa. Kodi pomwe Adamu adafa, iye adayenda kuponi? Mulungu adati kwa iye: ‘Un’dzabwerera ku thaka, thangwe n’komwe udacokera. Pakuti iwepo ndiwe pfumbi ndipo ku pfumbiko un’dzabwerera.’—Ciyambo 3:19.

Tenepo, pomwe Yahova adalewa kuti Adamu ‘angadabwerera ku thaka,’ Iye akhafuna kulewa kuti Adamu angadakhala pomwe wakusaya moyo, bzibodzi-bodzi ninga pfumbi. Adamu alibe kukhala mzimu. Alibe kuyenda ne kudzulu, ne ku moto. Iye adandokhala wakusaya moyo; alibe kuwoneka pomwe.

13. Pa infa, n’ciani cimbacitikira wanthu pabodzi na bzirombo?
