Uye izvi zvinoenderana nemashoko eVaprofita.”—Mab. 15:14, 15.

(Joh. 14:26) Jakobho anotanga ataura kuti, “izvi zvinoenderana nemashoko evaprofita,” obva azotaura mashoko ari pana Amosi 9:11, 12. Bhuku iroro riri muMagwaro echiHebheru anowanzonzi “Vaprofita.” (Mat. 22:40; Mab. 15:16-18) Uchaona kuti mashoko akataurwa naJakobho akati siyanei neanowanika mubhuku raAmosi mazuva ano. Jakobho anofanira kunge akatora mashoko acho mushanduro yechiGiriki yeMagwaro echiHebheru inonzi Septuagint.

Chekutanga ndechekuti chisarudzo chavakabvumirana chaizoita kuti ‘vasaomesera,’ kana kuti “kuremedza,” vaKristu vemamwe marudzi nekuvamanikidza kutevedzera Mutemo waMozisi.

Hama Albert D. Schroeder, vaiva muDare Rinotungamirira kubva muna 1974 kusvikira pavakapedza upenyu hwavo hwepasi pano muna March 2006, vakatsanangura kuti: “Dare Rinotungamirira rinoungana Chitatu chega chega, richitanga musangano wacho nemunyengetero richikumbira kuti ritungamirirwe nemweya waJehovha. Rinoedza chaizvo kuona kuti nyaya yese inokurukurwa uye chisarudzo chinoitwa zvinonyatsoenderana neShoko raMwari, Bhaibheri.” Hama Milton G. Henschel, vakashanda kwenguva yakareba muDare Rinotungamirira vakazopedza upenyu hwavo hwepasi pano muna March 2003, vakabvunza vadzidzi vakanga vachangopedza  kudzidza mukirasi yechi101 yeChikoro cheBhaibheri cheWatchtower cheGiriyedhi mubvunzo unokosha. Vakabvunza kuti, “Pasi pano pane rimwe sangano rine Dare Rinotungamirira rinotsvaga kuti Shoko raMwari, Bhaibheri rinotii risati raita zvisarudzo zvinokosha here?” Mhinduro yacho iri pachena.

11. Mashoko ezvakanga zvasarudzwa nedare rinotungamirira akasvitswa sei kuungano?

¹¹ Dare rinotungamirira remuJerusarema rakanga rabvumirana panyaya yekuchecheudzwa. Asi kuti hama dzese dzaiva muungano dzakasiyana-siyana dzitevedzere zvakasarudzwa dzakabatana, mashoko acho aitofanira kusvitswa kwavari zvakajeka uye nenzira inokurudzira.

12, 13. (a) Kuvapo kwaJudhasi naSirasi kwakabatsirei? (b) Kutumirwa kwakaitwa tsamba yakabva kudare rinotungamirira kwakabatsirei?

Urongwa uhwu hwairatidza uchenjeri uye rudo! Hunofanira kunge hwakaita kuti pave nekubatana uye kunzwanana pakati pevanhu vaMwari.

¹³ Tsamba iyi yainyatsojekesera vaKristu vemamwe marudzi nyaya yekuchecheudzwa nezvimwewo zvavaifanira kuita kuti vafarirwe naJehovha. Mashoko ainyanya kukosha patsamba yacho aiti: “Mweya mutsvene nesu tasarudza kusakuremedzai nemimwe mitoro, kunze kwezvinhu izvi zvamunofanira kuita: kuramba muchirega zvinhu zvakabayirwa zvidhori, ropa, zvinhu zvakadzipwa, uye upombwe. Kana mukangwarira kuti musaita zvinhu izvi, zvichakufambirai zvakanaka. Sarai zvakanaka!”—Mab. 15:28, 29.

14. Chii chinoita kuti vanhu vaJehovha vashande vakabatana munyika ine zvakawanda zvinopesanisa vanhu?

¹⁴ Mazuva ano, Zvapupu zvaJehovha zvinopfuura 8 000 000 izvo zviri muungano dzinopfuura 100 000 pasi rese, zvinotenda zvakafanana uye zvakabatana. Tinokwanisa sei kuramba takabatana zvakadaro iyo nyika yatiri kurarama isina kugadzikana uye iine vanhu vasingabvumirane? Chikuru chinoita kuti tibatane kuudzwa zvakajeka zvatinofanira kuita  naJesu Kristu, Musoro weungano, achishandisa “muranda akatendeka, akangwara,” anova ndiye Dare Rinotungamirira. (Mat. 24:45-47) Chimwe chinoita kuti tibatane ndechekuti hama dziri munyika yese dzinoita zvinenge zvataurwa neDare Rinotungamirira nemwoyo wese.

15, 16. Nyaya yekuchecheudzwa yakazogadziriswa sei, uye chii chakaita kuti ifambe zvakanaka zvakadaro?

¹⁵ Nyaya iri muna Mabasa inoenderera mberi ichitiudza kuti varume vakanga vatumwa kubva kuJerusarema pavakasvika kuAndiyoki, “vakaunganidza vanhu vacho vese, vakavapa tsamba yacho.” Hama dzacho dzakaita sei padzakanzwa zvaitaurwa nedare rinotungamirira mutsamba? “Pavakaiverenga, vakafara nekukurudzirwa kwavakaitwa.” (Mab. 15:30, 31) Judhasi naSirasi vakatozowedzera ipapo nekutaura “zvinhu zvakawanda zvekukurudzira nekusimbisa hama.” Nezvavakaita izvi, varume vaviri ava vaitova “vaprofita,” shoko raishandiswa richireva vanhu vari kuzivisa kuda kwaMwari, sezvaraingoitwawo pana Bhanabhasi, Pauro, nevamwe.—Mab. 13:1; 15:32; Eks. 7:1, 2.

¹⁶ Zviri pachena kuti Jehovha akakomborera urongwa hwacho hwese, zvikaita kuti nyaya yacho igadziriswe zvakanaka. Chii chakanyanya kuita kuti danho rakatorwa ribudirire? Chakaita kuti zvibudirire ndechekuti dare rinotungamirira rakataura mirayiridzo yakajeka panguva yakakodzera, iyo yakanga yakavakirwa paShoko raMwari uye pakutungamirira kwemweya mutsvene. Chimwe chacho inzira yakasvitswa nayo mashoko acho kuungano yairatidza rudo.

17. Zviri kuitwa nevatariri vematunhu mazuva ano zvakafanana papi nezvaiitwa kare?

¹⁷ Dare Rinotungamirira reZvapupu zvaJehovha nhasi uno rinotevedzera zvakaitwa nevaKristu vekutanga parinotungamirira hama dziri munyika yese. Pavanoita zvisarudzo, zvinosvitswa kuungano nenzira yakajeka. Dzimwe nguva Dare Rinotungamirira rinoshandisa vatariri vematunhu kusvitsa mashoko acho. Hama idzi dzakazvipira dzinofamba dzichitevedza ungano, dzichiudza vanhu maitirwe ezvinhu uye dzichivakurudzira. Vanoita nguva yakawanda vari muushumiri sezvaiitwa naPauro naBhanabhasi, “vachidzidzisa nekuzivisa mashoko akanaka eshoko raJehovha, vaine vamwe vakawanda.” (Mab. 15:35) Vanopa hurukuro vachitaura “zvinhu zvakawanda zvekukurudzira nekusimbisa hama” sezvaiitwa naJudhasi naSirasi.

18. Vanhu vaMwari vanofanira kuita sei kuti varambe vachikomborerwa naJehovha?

¹⁸ Ko mazuva ano, ungano dziri pasi rese dzingaita sei kuti dzirambe dziine rugare uye dzichiita zvinhu zvakafanana munyika ine zvinhu zvakawanda zvinopesanisa vanhu? Yeuka kuti mudzidzi Jakobho ndiye akazonyora kuti: “Uchenjeri hunobva kumusoro, kutanga, hwakachena, uyewo hune rugare, hunonzwisisa, hunoda kuteerera . . . Uyewo muchero wekururama  unodyarwa murugare kuitira vaya vanoita kuti pave nerugare.” (Jak. 3:17, 18) Hatizivi hedu kuti Jakobho akanyora mashoko aya achifunga nezvemusangano wekuJerusarema here kana kuti kwete. Asi zvatadzidza kubva muchitsauko 15 chaMabasa, zvatiratidza kuti chikomborero chaJehovha chinouya chete kana vanhu vakabatana uye vachiisa musoro pamwe.
