1-3. a) Bichi birhushwekere rhweshi? b) Gurhe Yehova nj’arhukulira olufu?

OBE NKA WAWAZA: Bakubeshere oku wayirhire omuntu, banakuhebe omu mpamiko [prizo] akalamo kawe koshi. Ntako wakachijira y’oshwekulwa. Na nta bunihire ochiherhe eju y’akalamo kawe k’esiku zayinja. N’oku buzinda wanaheza obunihire boshi. S’aliko lusiku luguma wanayunva oku hali omuntu wakakushwekulisa, analaganyize okw’akurhabala! Gurhe wakachiyunva?

² Rhweshi rhushwekerwe n’olufu. Na ntacho rhwakajira yi rhulufuma. S’aliko Yehova akarhukuliralo. Alaganyize oku olufu, “mushombanyi werhu muzinda,” “arhakachibaho.”​—1 Wakorinto 15:26.

³ Obe nka wawaza gurhe nji wachiyunva bwinja, amango orhakachiyubaha olufu! Omenye oku Yehova arhakakula olufu konyine. Nj’afula n’abafire. Owaze oku obusime ebyola byakakulerhera. Yehova alaganyize oku “balala boshi barhagwerhe obushobozi omu lufu” nji bashuba kulama. (Isaya 26:19) Che Biblia eyirikire “bufuke.”

4. a) Bichi byakarhurhuliza amango omuntu w’omulala gwerhu changwa mwira werhu amafa? b) Derha amazino ma bera baguma Yesu aliherhe.

⁴ Amango omuntu w’omulala gwerhu changwa  mwira werhu amafa, rhunayunva rhubabere n’okuvunika omurhima. Ntako rhwakachijira yi bashuba kulama. S’aliko, Ebiblia erhuhere echirhulirizo chinja. (Osome 2 Wakorinto 1:3, 4.) Rhulole omufano guyerekene oku Yehova na Yesu basimire okushubifula abazigirwa berhu; Yesu akazaga zigana kuja kulola bera bage basharhu: Lazaro na bali babo, Marta na Mariya. Ebiblia ederhere oku “Yesu akazaga kuzigira Marta na mwene wabo, na Lazaro.” Lusiku luguma Lazaro afa.​—Yohana 11:3-5.

5, 6. a) Amango Yesu abona bali babo Lazaro na bera bage bababere, gurhe alichiyunvirhe? b) Bulagurhe okumenya oku Yesu aliyunvirhe ababere amango Lazaro afa byakarhurhuliriza?

⁵ Yesu aja kurhuliriza Marta na Mariya. Marta ayunvirhe oku Yesu ayinjire, agenda kumulingira omunjira. Alisimire okubona Yesu, S’aliko amubwira ntya: “Nka waliri hanola, singa musheje werhu arhafire.” Yewe abona nka Yesu achereherwe. N’enyuma w’ahola, Yesu abona Mariya ali alaka. Omu kubona abantu bababere, ayunva ababere analaka. (Yohana 11:21, 33, 35) Alibabere bwenene kuguma n’oku nerhu rhunababala amango eyirhwalisimire amafa.

⁶ Okumenya oku Yesu aliyunvirhe ababere, byakarhurhuliriza omu yindi njira. Ebyola biyerekene oku naye anagaya olufu, kuguma nk’oku Yehova naye analugaya. (Yohana 14:9) Yehova akamala olufu esiku zoshi, na hanola hofi kw’anajira.

7, 8. a) Bulagurhe Marta arhalisimire bakule ebale lyalichingire eshinda ya Lazaro? b) Bichi Yesu alijirire Lazaro?

⁷ Eshinda ya Lazaro yalichingirwe n’ebale lizibuzibu.  Yesu ahikire, aja embere z’eshinda, aderha ntya: “Mukule elyola bale.” S’aliko Marta arhalisimire bakule elyola bale bulala omubiri gwa Lazaro gwali gwamalire siku ene omu shinda. (Yohana 11:39) Arhalimenyere ebi Yesu akola kujira y’arhabala musheje wabo.

⁸ Bakula ebale, nantyo Yesu aderha ntya: “Yinja enola mbuga!” Marta na Mariya babona echintu chisomezwe; Lazaro ahuluka omushinda. (Yohana 11:43, 44) Yesu afula Lazaro! Lazaro ashuba kusimira obuguma-guma bwage haguma n’omulala gwage na bera bage. Bakamuhobere, bakamuhumireko chiro n’okuganira naye. Chisomerene chikwirire bwenene!

9, 10. a) Inde wahaga Yesu obuhashe b’okufula abafire? b) Bulagurhe engani z’obufuke zirhuherhere akamaro?

⁹ Yesu alemaga afula abantu oku misi yage yenyine si? Nanga. Embere afule Lazaro, arhanga salira emwa Yehova. Yehova naye amuha obuhashe b’okumufula. (Osome Yohana 11:41, 42.) Arhali Lazaro yenyine walifukire. * Kandi Ebiblia ederhere oku bilolere omwana w’obunyere wa myaka 12, w’alilwere bwenene. Eshe Yayiro alikola ahwererwe n’okuntu akamubukisa. Arhebereza Yesu amufumye. Oyola munyere yenyine ye waliri mwana Yayiro aliherhe. Oku  anali aganira na Yesu, balume baguma bayinja mubwira ntya: “Mwali wawe afire! Bulagurhe oliwabulisa Mwalimu omurhula?” Aliko Yesu abwira Yayiro ntya: “Orhayubahaga, ogwarhe obwemere konyine, omwana wawe achungulwa.” Enyuma w’ahola, Yesu aherekeza Yayiro emwage. Babere bali hofi n’ahambuga, Yesu abona n’okuyunva abantu bali balaka. Ababwira ntya: “Muleke okulaka, bulala arhafire s’aliko aliro.” Abazere b’oyola mwana w’obunyere bachibaza bichi alonzaga kuderha. Yesu abwira abantu baliri omu nju bahuluke. Aheka Yayiro na mukage omu chumba omwana wabo alilyamiremo. Amufarha efune kubuyabuya, amubwira ntya: “Mwana w’obunyere, inkubwirire: Yumanga!” Aho han’ahola, ayumanga, arhondera kulambagira. Owaze busime bungana gurhe abola bazere baliyunvirhe amango Yesu afula omunyere wabo! (Marko 5:22-24, 35-42; Luka 8:49-56) Kurhenga olola lusiku, buli kubona k’oyola munyere wabo, bakazaga kuyibuka ebi Yehova abakoleraga kugerera Yesu.

¹⁰ Abantu Yesu afulaga balishubire kufa. Ezola ngani z’obufuke, zirhuherhere akamaro, bulala zirhuhere obunihire b’okuli, oku Yehova asimire okufula abafire, nj’anabikola.

11. Bulagurhe engani y’obufuke bwa Lazaro eyerekene oku ebiyandikirwe omu chitabu cha Muhubiri 9:5, bili by’okuli?

¹¹ Ebiblia ederhere oku abafire “ntacho bayinji.” (Muhubiri 9:5) Engani y’obufuke bwa Lazaro ebiyemezeze. Amango Lazaro aliri omu shinda, “ntacho  aliyinji.” Aliri nk’oliro, nk’oku Yesu anaderhaga.—Yohana 11:11.

12. Bichi biyemezeze oku Lazaro alifukire?

¹² Bantu banene balibwene gurhe Yesu afula Lazaro. Chiro n’abashombanyi ba Yesu baliyinji oku alikolere echola chisomerene. Lazaro alishubire kulama, n’okola kwayerekana oku alifukire. (Yohana 11:47) Bantu banene baliyinjire kulola Lazaro, n’omu kumubona, bayemera oku Mungu ye warhumaga Yesu. S’aliko abashombanyi ba Yesu barhalisimire, bahigirira kumuyirha n’okuyirha Lazaro.​—Yohana 11:53; 12:9-11.

13. Bichi biyemezeze oku Yehova nj’afula abafire?

¹³ Yesu aliderhere oku “boshi bali omu shinda z’olwibuko” nji bafuka. (Yohana 5:28) K’okuderha oku balala bantu boshi Yehova ayibukire, nji bashubakulama. S’aliko, bihemere Yehova ayibuke byoshi oku bilolere omuntu y’amufula. Byakagalikana si? Nechi. Hali emiliyare y’enyenyezi, na zoshi Ebiblia ederhere oku Yehova aziyinji amazino. (Osome Isaya 40:26.) Akaba akayibuka ezino lya buli nyenyezi, nj’ayibuka buzira chibazo buli chintu oku bilolere balala nj’afula. Okuba ye walemaga ebintu byoshi, aherhe obuhashe b’okufula abafire.

14, 15. Ebi Yubu aderhaga oku bilolere obufuke, bichi byakarhuyigiriza?

¹⁴ Yubu aliri muntu mwimana embere za Yehova. Alibazize ntya: “Nk’omuntu [. . .] amafa, akashuba kulama si?” Enyuma w’ahola, abwira Yehova ntya: “Nji wahamagala, nani nanakushubiza. Nji walindira oku nyorha nene akasi k’efune zawe.” Yubu aliyemerere oku nji haba obufuke. Analimenyere oku Yehova  yalindira oku nyorha amango nj’afula abafire.​—Yobu 14:13-15.

¹⁵ Gurhe onachiyunva amango wamawaza oku bilolere obufuke? Okumenya oku Yehova asimire okufula abafire, kurhurhulirize. Nkabaga ona chibaza ntya: “Abantu b’omulala gwani n’abera bani nabo nji bafuka si?” Inde nji wafuka? N’aba Mungu nj’afula, ngahe nji balama? Rhulole ebye Biblia ederhere.

16. Gurhe akalamo nji kabera balala nji bafuka oku gulu?

¹⁶ Abantu bafulwaga mira, balishubire kulama n’abantu b’omulala gwabo n’abera babo hanola oku gulu. Binji byaba n’omu siku zayinja, s’aliko binji byakwira bwenene kulusha. Bulagurhe? Bulala abantu nji bafuka oku gulu nji balama esiku zoshi. Nji banalama omu gulu lirhali kuguma n’elili zene. Harhakachiba amavita, obunizi n’amalwala.

17. Inde nji wafuka?

¹⁷ Inde nji wafuka? Yesu aliderhere oku “boshi bali omu shinda z’olwibuko nji bayunva omulenge gwage banahuluka.” (Yohana 5:28, 29) Ufunuo 20:13 ederhere ntya: “Enyanja yashala emifu elimo, n’olufu n’eshinda byahana emifu elimo.” K’okuderha oku bantu banene nji bashuba kulama. N’entumwa Paulo yaliderhere oku nji haba “obufuke bwa ab’okunali n’abarhali b’okunali.” (Osome Matendo 24:15.) Bichi ebyola bilonzeze okuderha?

18. “Ab’okunali” nji bafuka, ba bantu bachi?

¹⁸ Ahakagarhi “ka ab’okunali,” hali abakozi ba Yehova balilamire embere Yesu ayinje kunola gulu.  Omufano: Nowa, Abrahamu, Sara, Musa, Rutu na Esta nji bafuka, banalama kunola gulu. Esura ye 11 y’echitabu cha Waebrania ederhere oku bilolere baguma mw’abola balume n’abakazi. Abakozi ba Yehova bali bafa mu zinola siku, nabo nji bafuka si? Nechi, bulala nabo bali omu chigusho “cha ab’okunali.”

19. a) “Abarhali b’okunali” ba bantu bachi? b) Bushobozi buhe Yehova nj’aha “abarhali b’okunali”?

 ¹⁹ Ahakagarhi “k’abarhali b’okunali,” hali bantu banene bafire, barhanabonaga gurhe bakayiga okumenya Yehova. Yehova arhabayibagire. Nj’abafula, anabahe obushobozi b’okuyiga eju yage bamumenye n’okumuharamya.

20. Inde nj’orhakafuka?

²⁰ Ebyola biderhere oku abafire boshi nji bafuka si? Nanga. Yesu aliderhere oku hali bantu baguma barhakafuka. (Luka 12:5) Inde nji waderha akaba omuntu afuka, changwa nanga? Yehova ye muchashinja mukulu, s’aliko ahere Yesu naye obukulu b’okuba “muchashinja w’abazene n’abafire.” (Matendo 10:42) Inde nj’orhakafuka? Buli muntu yeshi ochibirwe olushinja oku ali mubi, orhanalonzeze okuhindamuka. Olole amahugulo me 19, bukurasa bwa 215.

21, 22. a) Balala bafuka yi baja kulama embingu, mubiri guli gurhe bahabwa? b) Inde waliri murhanzi okufuka y’aja kulama embingu?

²¹ Ebiblia ederhere oku hali bantu baguma nji bajilama embingu. Amango omuntu amafuka y’alama embingu, arhafuka n’omubiri g’omuntu. Anahabwa omubiri gw’eroho, k’okuderha, mubiri guli kuguma n’ogwa bamalayika.

²² Yesu ye waliri murhanzi okufuka y’aja kulama embingu. (Yohana 3:13) Enyuma ya siku esharhu ayirhirwe, Yehova amufula. (Zaburi 16:10; Matendo 13:34, 35) Arhafukaga n’omubiri g’omuntu. Entumwa Petro ederhere oku “afaga omu mubiri, s’aliko ajirwa  muguma-guma omu roho.” (1 Petro 3:18) Yesu ashuba kuba malayika oherhe emisi! (1 Wakorinto 15:3-6) S’aliko Ebiblia ederhere oku hali abandi nji bafuka yibalama embingu.

23, 24. Bande bali “chigusho chigeke” Yesu aderhaga, banalibanga?

²³ Embere Yesu afe, alibwirire abanafunzi bage ntya: “Namagenda kubarheganyiza enafasi.” (Yohana 14:2) Alilonzeze okuderha oku baguma omu banafunzi bage bakafukire yi baja kulama embingu haguma naye. Bakabere banganachi? Yesu aliderhere oku bakabere “chigusho chigeke.” K’okuderha oku barhakabere banene. (Luka 12:32) Entumwa Yohana yalihanire oluganjo lwabo l’okuli; abona Yesu “ayumangire oku musozi gwe Sayuni [embingu], na haguma naye 144 000.”​—Ufunuo 14:1.

²⁴ Mango machi abola bakristu 144 000 bakafukire? Nk’oku Ebiblia ederhere, bakarhondere okufuka amango Yesu abaga mwami embingu. (1 Wakorinto 15:23) Rhulamire mw’echola chihe, na banene mw’abola bakristu 144 000 bafukire mira banaja embingu. Abachili oku gulu, amango bamafa, han’ahola, banafuka banaja embingu. S’aliko hanola hofi, bantu banene bafuka, banalama omu Paradizo oku gulu.

25. Bichi rhwayiga omu sura ekulikireho?

²⁵ Hanola hofi, Yehova akula abantu omu buja b’olufu. Olufu lurhakachibaho! (Osome Isaya 25:8.) Aliko si, bichi abola bakristu 144 000 nji baja kujira embingu? Ebiblia ederhere oku nji baba bami b’Obwami haguma na yesu. Esura ekulikireho, yaganira binene oku bilolere obola Bwami.
