1, 2. Chifukwa wuli tingayowoya kuti Themba Davide likamanyanga makora umo munthu waliri wambura kugomezgeka?

 THEMBA DAVIDE likamanyanga makora umo munthu waliri wambura kugomezgeka. Pa nyengo yinyake, ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wake ŵakamwenderanga mphiska apo muwuso wake ukazura kale na masuzgo ghanandi. Nakuti ŵabwezi ŵake ndiwo ŵakamwenderanga mphiska. Ghanaghanirani waka za Mikala, muwoli wakwamba wa Davide. Kukwambilira, “wakamutemwa Davide,” ndipo tikukayika yayi kuti wakamovwirangako milimo yake ya uthemba. Ndipouli, mukuluta kwa nyengo, ‘wakamba kumuyuyura mu mtima wake,’ na kumuwona Davide nga ni “munthu wambura mahara.”—1 Samuyeli 18:20; 2 Samuyeli 6:16, 20.

² Munyake wakaŵaso Ahitofeli, uyo ntchito yake yikaŵa ya kupeleka ulongozgi kwa Davide. Fundo izo wakayowoyanga zikawonekanga nga ni Yehova wayowoya. (2 Samuyeli 16:23) Kweni nyengo yikati yajumphapo, munthu wakugomezgeka uyu wakazgoka muryarya ndipo nayo wakaŵa mu gulu la ŵanthu awo ŵakagalukira Davide. Kasi ninjani wakayambiska chiŵembu ichi? Abisalomu, mwana wake dininini wa Davide! Mwana uyu, uyo wakenderanga mphiska awiske, “wakalutilira kwiba mitima ya Ŵaisrayeli,” kujizgora yekha kuŵa themba lakulimbana na uthemba wa awiske. Kuwukira kwa Abisalomu kukafika paheni chomene mwakuti Davide wakachichizgika kuchimbira kuti waponoske umoyo wake.—2 Samuyeli 15:1-6, 12-17.

3. Kasi Davide wakagomezganga vichi?

³ Kasi pakaŵavya waliyose uyo wakalutilira kugomezgeka kwa Davide? Mu masuzgo ghake ghose, Davide wakamanya kuti pakaŵa munyake uyo wakalutilira kugomezgeka kwa iyo. Ni njani? Munthu munyakeso yayi, kweni Yehova Chiuta. Davide wakati: “Uyo ngwakugomezgeka mukuchita nayo mwakugomezgeka.” (2 Samuyeli 22:26) Kasi kugomezgeka kukung’anamura vichi, ndipo Yehova wakulongora wuli chiyelezgero chiwemi pa nkhani iyi?

4, 5. (a) Kasi “kugomezgeka” ni vichi? (b) Kasi kugomezgeka kwa vinthu vyambura umoyo kukupambana wuli na kwa munthu?

⁴ Mu Malemba gha Chihebere, lizgu lakuti “kugomezgeka” likung’anamura lusungu ulo munthu wakuŵa nalo pa chinthu icho wakuchitemwa, ndipo lukumara yayi m’paka chilato chake chifiskike. Munthu wakugomezgeka ngwachitemwa. a Wamasalimo wakati mwezi “ni kaboni wakugomezgeka mu mlengalenga” chifukwa chakuti ukufuma usiku uliwose. (Salimo 89:37) Fundo iyi yikutovwira kumanya kuti mwezi ngwakugomezgeka. Kweni mwezi ungaŵa wakugomezgeka nga umo munthu wakuchitira yayi. Chifukwa wuli? Chifukwa kugomezgeka kwa munthu kukulongora kuti wali na chitemwa—chinthu icho vinthu vyambura umoyo vingachita yayi.

⁵ Malemba ghakulongora kuti munthu wakugomezgeka ngwaubwezi. Para munthu wakugomezgeka ku munyake, chikulongora kuti pali ubali panji ubwezi unyake pakati pa munthu uyo wakugomezgeka, na uyo wakumulongora kugomezgeka. Kugomezgeka uku nkhwa kanyengo waka yayi. Kuli nga ni majigha gha nyanja yayi agho ghakututuzgika na mphepo iyo yikusinthasintha. M’malo mwake, munthu wakugomezgeka, panji  wachitemwa chakugomezgeka wakuŵa wambura kusunkhunyika ndiposo wankhongono zakulimbana na masuzgo ghakuru agho ghangaŵapo.

6. (a) Kasi ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakuwona wuli nkhani yakugomezgeka, ndipo Baibolo likuti wuli pa nkhani iyi? (b) Kasi nthowa yiwemi ya kumanyira ng’anamuro la kugomezgeka ni nji, ndipo chifukwa wuli?

⁶ Kuyowoya unenesko, kugomezgeka uko tikuyowoya apa nkhwakusoŵa chomene mazuŵa ghano. Kanandi, ŵanthu awo ŵanguŵa paubwezi paumaliro ‘ŵakupwetekana.’ Nyengo na nyengo tikupulika za ŵafumu panji ŵawoli awo ŵakuleka munyawo wa mu nthengwa. (Zintharika 18:24; Malaki 2:14-16) Uryarya wazara chomene, mwakuti nase tingayowoya mazgu agho ntchimi Mika yikayowoya kuti: “Ŵakugomezgeka ŵamara pa charu chapasi.” (Mika 7:2) Nangauli ŵanthu kanandi ŵakutondeka kugomezgeka, kweni Yehova wakuwona kuti kugomezgeka nkhwakuzirwa chomene. Nakuti nthowa yiwemi ya kumanyira ng’anamuro la kugomezgeka nkhuwona umo Yehova wakulongolera mukhaliro uwu, uwo ukulongora chitemwa chake.

7, 8. Chifukwa wuli tikuti Yehova pera ndiyo ngwakugomezgeka chomene?

⁷ Pakuyowoya za Yehova, Baibolo likuti: “Ŵakugomezgeka ndimwe pera?” (Chivumbuzi 15:4) Chifukwa wuli Yehova pera ndiyo ngwakugomezgeka kuluska waliyose? Kasi ŵanthu na ŵangelo pa nyengo yinyake ŵandagomezgekepo? (Yobu 1:1; Chivumbuzi 4:8) Wuli pakuyowoya za Yesu Khristu? Asi iyo ‘ngwakugomezgeka’ wa Chiuta? (Salimo 16:10) Chifukwa wuli pera tingayowoya kuti Yehova pera ndiyo ngwakugomezgeka?

⁸ Chakwamba, kumbukani kuti kugomezgeka kukwendezgana na chitemwa. Pakuti “Chiuta ntchitemwa,” ndipo uwu ndiwo ni wunthu wake, ipo ni njani uyo wangaŵa wakugomezgeka chomene kuluska Yehova? (1 Yohane 4:8) Mbunenesko kuti ŵangelo na ŵanthu ŵangalondezga mikhaliro ya Chiuta, kweni ni Yehova pera uyo ngwakugomezgeka kuluska waliyose. Pakuti ni “Mulara wa Mwaka,” iyo wakulongora chitemwa kwanyengo  yitali kuluska chilengiwa chilichose pa charu chapasi panji kuchanya. (Daniyeli 7:9) Ntheura Yehova pera ndiyo ngwakugomezgeka chomene. Palije chilengiwa chilichose icho chingayana na Yehova pa nkhani ya kugomezgeka. Wonani viyelezgero vinyake.

9. Kasi Yehova wakulongora wuli ‘kugomezgeka mu vyose ivyo wakuchita’?

⁹ Yehova “ngwakugomezgeka mu vyose ivyo wakuchita.” (Salimo 145:17) Munthowa wuli? Zgoro tikulisanga mu Chaputara 136 cha buku la Salimo. Mu chaputara ichi, muli milimo yinandi ya kuponoska ya Yehova, kusazgapo nkhani ya umo wakaponoskera Ŵaisrayeli pa Nyanja Yiswesi. Chinthu chapadera ntchakuti vesi lililose mu Salimo ili, likumalizga na mazgu ghakuti: “Pakuti lusungu lwake lukukhalilira muyirayira.” Salimo ili liliso pa “ Mafumbo Ghakuti Tighanaghanirepo” pa peji 289. Apo mukuŵazga mavesi agha, mukondwenge chomene kuwona umo Yehova wakalongolera lusungu ku ŵanthu ŵake. Yehova wakulongora kugomezgeka ku ŵateŵeti ŵake ŵakugomezgeka para wakupulika kulira kwawo na kuchitapo kanthu pa nyengo iyo waŵika. (Salimo 34:6) Chitemwa chakugomezgeka cha Yehova chikusintha yayi usange ŵateŵeti ŵake ŵakulutilira kugomezgeka kwa iyo.

10. Kasi Yehova wakulongora wuli kugomezgeka ku fundo zake?

¹⁰ Yehova wakulongoraso kugomezgeka ku ŵateŵeti ŵake para ŵakulondezga fundo izo wali kuŵika. Yehova wakusintha yayi umo wakuwonera icho ntchiwemi na chiheni, iyo wakupambana chomene na ŵanthu awo ŵakuyeyeka waka maghanoghano. Nangauli pajumpha vyaka vinandi, kweni wandasinthe umo wakuwonera kugomezga mizimu, kusopa vikozgo, na kukoma munthu. Kwizira mwa ntchimi yake Yesaya, Yehova wakayowoya kuti: “M’paka muchekure, ine niŵenge mweneyura.” (Yesaya 46:4) Lekani tikugomezga kuti titumbikikenge nadi para tikulondezga ulongozgi uwo uli kulembeka mwakupulikikwa makora mu Mazgu gha Chiuta.—Yesaya 48:17-19.

11. Pelekani viyelezgero ivyo vikulongora kuti Yehova ngwakugomezgeka ku ivyo walayizga.

¹¹ Yehova wakulongoraso kugomezgeka para wakufiska ivyo  walayizga. Para walayizga chinthu, wakufiska nadi. Yehova wakati: “Mazgu ghane agho ghafuma mu mulomo wane. Ghawelerenge waka chara kwa ine, kweni ghafiskenge nadi icho nkhukondwa nacho, ndipo icho naghatumira chichitikenge.” (Yesaya 55:11) Yehova wakulongora kugomezgeka ku ŵanthu ŵake para wakufiska ivyo wayowoya. Yehova wali na mbiri yiwemi chomene pa nkhani iyi, lekani Joshuwa wakati: “Pa malayizgo ghose ghawemi agho Yehova wakapeleka ku nyumba ya Israyeli, pakaŵavya nanga ni layizgo limoza ilo likatondekapo, ghose ghakafiskika.” (Joshuwa 21:45) Tikugomezga na mtima wose kuti tizamukhuŵarapo yayi chifukwa chakuti Yehova watondeka kufiska ivyo wakalayizga.—Yesaya 49:23; Ŵaroma 5:5.

12, 13. Kasi chitemwa chakugomezgeka cha Yehova chikukhalilira wuli muyirayira?

¹² Nga umo tawonera kale, Baibolo likutiphalira kuti “Chitemwa chakugomezgeka” cha Yehova chikukhalilira muyirayira. (Salimo 136:1, mazgu ghamusi) Chifukwa wuli tikugomezga fundo iyi? Chifukwa chimoza ntchakuti Yehova wakugowokera zakwananga kwamuyirayira. Nga umo Mutu 26 ukayowoyera, Yehova wakusokotoraso zakwananga zakumanyuma izo munthu wakamugowokera kale yayi. Pakuti ‘tose tili ŵakwananga, ndipo tikupeleŵera pa uchindami wa Chiuta,’ ntheura waliyose wa ise wakwenera kuwonga kuti chitemwa chakugomezgeka cha Yehova chikukhalilira muyirayira.—Ŵaroma 3:23.

¹³ Kweni chitemwa chakugomezgeka cha Yehova chikukhalira muyirayira mu nthowa yinyakeso. Mazgu ghake ghakuti murunji “waŵenge nga ni khuni ilo lapandika musi mwa tumilonga twa maji, khuni ilo likupambika vipambi mu nyengo yake, ilo mahamba ghake ghakufota chara. Ndipo chilichose icho wakuchita chendenge makora.” (Salimo 1:3) Ghanaghanani waka za khuni lakutikitira makora, ilo mahamba ghake ghakufota yayi! Ntheura para nase tikukondwa na Mazgu gha Chiuta, umoyo withu uŵenge utali, wamtende, ndiposo wachandulo. Vitumbiko ivyo Yehova wakupeleka ku ŵateŵeti ŵake ŵakugomezgeka ni vyamuyirayira. Mu charu chiphya chaurunji cha Yehova, ŵanthu  ŵakupulikira ŵazamukondwa muyirayira na chitemwa chakugomezgeka cha Yehova.—Chivumbuzi 21:3, 4.

14. Kasi Yehova wakulongora wuli kuti wakuwonga kugomezgeka kwa ŵateŵeti ŵake?

¹⁴ Yehova walongora mwakuwerezgawerezga kuti ngwakugomezgeka. Pakuti Yehova wakusintha yayi, kugomezgeka uko wakulongora ŵateŵeti ŵake kukumara yayi. Wamasalimo wakalemba kuti: “Nkhaŵa mwana, sono nili muchekuru, kweni nindawonepo kuti murunji wasidika, panji ŵana ŵake kupempheska chingwa. Pakuti Yehova wakutemwa urunji, ndipo waŵasidenge yayi ŵakugomezgeka ŵake.” (Salimo 37:25, 28) Pakuŵa Mlengi, Yehova ndiyo ngwakwenelera nadi kuti timusopenge. (Chivumbuzi 4:11) Pakuti ngwakugomezgeka, Yehova wakuzirwiska chomene kugomezgeka kwithu.—Malaki 3:16, 17.

15. Kasi Yehova wakalongora wuli kugomezgeka na umo wakachitira vinthu na Ŵaisrayeli?

¹⁵ Chifukwa cha chitemwa chake chakugomezgeka, nyengo zose Yehova wakovwira ŵanthu ŵake para ŵali mu suzgo. Wamasalimo wakutiphalira kuti: “Iyo wakusunga umoyo wa ŵakugomezgeka ŵake. Wakuŵathaska mu woko la muheni.” (Salimo 97:10) Ghanaghanani waka umo wakachitira na mtundu wa Israyeli. Wakati waŵathaska mwakuzizwiska pa Nyanja Yiswesi, Ŵaisrayeli ŵakimba mwakuchemerezga kwa Yehova kuti: “Na chitemwa chakugomezgeka, mwalongozga ŵanthu awo mwaŵawombora.” (Ekisodo 15:13, mazgu ghamusi) Yehova wakalongora nadi chitemwa chakugomezgeka apo wakathaska Ŵaisrayeli pa Nyanja Yiswesi. Mozesi wakaphalira Ŵaisrayeli kuti: “Yehova wakamutemwani na kumusorani chifukwa chakuti mukaŵa ŵanandi kuluska ŵanthu wose chara, pakuti mukaŵa ŵachoko chomene pa ŵanthu wose. Kweni Yehova wakamufumiskani na woko lankhongono, kumuwomborani ku nyumba ya wuzga, kufuma mu woko la Farawo, themba la Eguputo chifukwa chakuti Yehova wakumutemwani ndiposo chifukwa cha chilapo icho wakalapa ku ŵasekuru ŵinu.”—Dotoronome 7:7, 8.

16, 17. (a) Kasi Ŵaisrayeli ŵakalongora wuli kuti mbambura kuwonga, kweni Yehova wakaŵalongora wuli lusungu? (b) Kasi Ŵaisrayeli ŵanandi ŵakalongora wuli kuti “ŵangachizgikaso chara” ku ukali wa Chiuta ndipo ichi chikutipa chenjezgo wuli?

 ¹⁶ Kweni mtundu wa Israyeli ukatondeka kulongora kuwonga lusungu lwa Yehova, chifukwa ŵakati ŵawomboreka, “ŵakalutilira kumunangira [Yehova] ŵakagalukiranga Wapachanya Nkhanira.” (Salimo 78:17) Kwa vyaka vinandi, ŵakagalukiranga Yehova mwakuwerezgawerezga, kumuleka na kwamba kusopa ŵachiuta ŵatesi na kuchita vinthu ivyo ŵanthu ŵambura kusopa Chiuta ŵakachitanga, ivyo vikaŵabinkhiskanga waka. Nangauli vikaŵa nthena, kweni Yehova wakaswa yayi phangano lake. M’malo mwake, kwizira mwa ntchimi Yeremiya, Yehova wakaŵeyelera ŵanthu ŵake kuti: “Welera, iwe Israyeli wakugaluka . . . nikulaŵiskenge na chisko chaukali yayi, pakuti ndine wakugomezgeka.” (Yeremiya 3:12) Ndipouli, nga umo tikawonera mu Mutu 25, Ŵaisrayeli ŵanandi ŵakasintha yayi. Enya, “ŵakagoskanga mathenga gha Chiuta waunenesko, kupepura mazgu ghake, na kuhoya ntchimi zake.” Kasi ntchivichi chikachitika paumaliro? “Ukali wa Yehova ukiza pa ŵanthu, ŵakafika pakuti ŵangachizgikaso chara.”—2 Midauko 36:15, 16.

¹⁷ Kasi tikusambirapo vichi pa nkhani iyi? Tikusambirapo kuti nangauli Yehova ngwakugomezgeka, kweni wakuleka kuwona viheni panji kunyengeka yayi. Mbunenesko kuti Yehova “ngwakuzara na chitemwa chakugomezgeka,” ndipo wakulongora lusungu usange pali vifukwa vyakupulikikwa. Kweni kasi wakuchita wuli usange munthu wakulapa yayi na kusintha nkharo yake? Para ndimo vyaŵira, Yehova wakulondezga chomene fundo zake zaurunji na kupeleka cheruzgo. Kuyana na mazgu agho Mozesi wakaphalirika, yose uyo wali na mulandu, Yehova “wamulekenge waka yayi kwambura kumulanga.”—Ekisodo 34:6, 7.

18, 19. (a) Kasi Yehova wakulongora wuli kuti ngwakugomezgeka para wakulanga ŵanthu ŵaheni? (b) Kasi Yehova wazamulongora wuli kugomezgeka ku ŵateŵeti ŵake awo ŵakutambuzgika m’paka kukomeka?

¹⁸ Para Yehova wakulanga ŵanthu ŵaheni napo, mbukaboni wakuti ngwakugomezgeka. Munthowa wuli? Ukaboni umoza  ukusangika mu buku la Chivumbuzi, mu dango ilo Yehova wakapeleka ku ŵangelo 7 kuti: “Lutani ndipo mukapungulire ŵabakule 7 ŵa ukali wa Chiuta mu charu chapasi.” Mungelo wachitatu wati wapungulira “bakule wake mu milonga na visimi vya maji,” ghakazgoka ndopa. Ndipo mungelo uyu wakayowoya kwa Yehova kuti: “Imwe muliko ndipo mukaŵako, muli ŵakugomezgeka, kweniso muli ŵarunji, chifukwa mwapeleka vyeruzgo ivi. Pakuti ŵakathiska ndopa za ŵatuŵa ndiposo za ntchimi, ndipo mwaŵapa ndopa kuti ŵamwe. Ichi chikuŵenelera nadi.”—Chivumbuzi 16:1-6.

¹⁹ Wonani kuti apo wakapelekanga uthenga uwu wa cheruzgo, mungelo wakuyowoya za Yehova kuti “mwa ŵakugomezgeka.” Chifukwa wuli? Chifukwa para wakuparanya ŵaheni, Yehova wakulongora kugomezgeka ku ŵateŵeti ŵake awo ŵanandi mwa iwo ŵasuzgika kwa nyengo yitali mpaka kufika na pa kukomeka. Yehova wakuŵaluwa yayi ŵanthu aŵa. Wakudokera chomene kuti wawoneso ŵateŵeti ŵake ŵakugomezgeka awo ŵali kufwa, ndipo Baibolo likutisimikizgira kuti khumbo lake ndakuti wazakaŵawonge mwa kuŵawuska ku ŵakufwa. (Yobu 14:14, 15) Yehova wakuluwa yayi ŵateŵeti ŵake nanga ŵangaŵa kuti ŵafwa. M’malo mwake, “wose mbamoyo kwa iyo.” (Luka 20:37, 38)  Chilato cha Yehova chakuti wazakawuske ŵanthu awo ŵali mu madindi gha chikumbusko mbukaboni ukuru wakuti ngwakugomezgeka.

20. Kasi mbanjani awo ni “viŵiya vya lusungu,” ndipo Yehova wakulongora wuli kugomezgeka kwa iwo?

²⁰ Kwamba kale, Yehova wakugomezgeka chomene ku ŵanthu awo ŵakumupulikira. Nakuti kwa vyaka vinandi, Yehova “wakazizipizga chomene na kulekelera viŵiya ivyo vikamukwiyiska ndipo vikenera kuparanyika.” Chifukwa wuli? “Wakachita nthena kuti walongore ukuru wa uchindami wake pa viŵiya vyalusungu, ivyo wakanozgerathu kuvipa uchindami.” (Ŵaroma 9:22, 23) “Viŵiya” mbanthu ŵakusankhika, awo ŵakuphakazgika na mzimu utuŵa kuti ŵakawuse lumoza na Khristu mu Ufumu  wake. (Mateyu 19:28) Apo Yehova wakajuliranga viŵiya vya lusungu nthowa ya chiponosko, Yehova wakalutilira kugomezgeka kwa Abrahamu, uyo wakapangana nayo phangano lakuti: “Kwizira mu mphapu yako, mitundu yose pa charu chapasi yizamusanga vitumbiko chifukwa wapulikira mazgu ghane.”—Genizesi 22:18.

21. (a) Kasi Yehova wakulongora wuli kugomezgeka ku “mzinda ukuru” uwo uli na chilindizga cha kuzakafuma mu “suzgo yikuru”? (b) Kasi kugomezgeka kwa Yehova kukumupangiskani kuchita vichi?

²¹ Yehova wakulongoraso kugomezgeka ku “mzinda ukuru” uwo wuli na chilindizga cha kufuma mu “suzgo yikuru” na kuzakakhala na umoyo wamuyirayira mu charu cha paradiso. (Chivumbuzi 7:9, 10, 14) Nangauli ŵateŵeti ŵake mbakwananga mwakawiro, Yehova wakuŵapa mwaŵi wakuti wazakakhale kwamuyirayira mu charu cha paradiso. Kasi wakuchita wuli ichi? Kwizira mu sembe yakuwombora ya Yesu, iyo ntchilongolero chikuru cha kugomezgeka kwa Yehova. (Yohane 3:16; Ŵaroma 5:8) Kugomezgeka kwa Yehova kukukopa ŵanthu awo mitima yawo yikukhumba urunji. (Yeremiya 31:3) Kasi mukudokera yayi kusendelera kwa Yehova chifukwa cha kugomezgeka uko walongora na uko walongorenge munthazi? Pakuti khumbo lithu ndakuti tisendelere kwa Chiuta, mphanyi tachitapo kanthu pa chitemwa icho wakutilongora na kukhozga ivyo tili kusankha kuti timuteŵetere mwakugomezgeka muyirayira swii!
