LUNYUNGU LWA MUZOKA AMUNYAMA

4. Mbaani babikkilizyidwe mulunyungu lwamwanakazi, alimwi ncinzi ncobayoocita?

⁴ Kakutanainda ciindi cilamfwu kuzwa ba Adamu a Eva nibakazanga mumuunda wa Edeni, Jehova wakasyomezya kuti “mwanakazi” wakali kuyoozyala “lunyungu.” *  (Amubale Matalikilo 3:15.) Lunyungu oolo mukuyakwaciindi lwakali kuyoopwayaula muzoka, Saatani, kumutwe. Jehova wakazootondezya kuti lunyungu lwakali kuyoozwida kuli Abrahamu, mu Israyeli, mumukowa wa Juda alimwi waluzubo lwa Mwami Davida. (Matl. 22:15-18; 49:10; Int. 89:3, 4; Lk. 1:30-33) Cibeela cakusaanguna calunyungu oolu ngu Kristo Jesu. (Gal. 3:16) Cibeela cabili mbananike ibacibeela cambungano ya Banakristo. (Gal. 3:26-29) Jesu antoomwe abananike balakamantana akupanga Bwami bwa Leza, cibelesyo Leza ncayoobelesya kunyonyoona Saatani.—Lk. 12:32; Lom. 16:20.

5, 6. (a) Ino bali bongaye bami balaanguzu kapati ibeendelezya mbaakabona Daniele a Johane? (b) Ino mitwe yamunyama waambidwe mubbuku lya Ciyubunuzyo iiminina nzi?

⁵ Businsimi oobu bwakusaanguna ibwakaambwa mumuunda wa Edeni alimwi bwaamba kuti Saatani wakali kuyoozyala “lunyungu.” Lunyungu oolu lwakali kuyoosula lunyungu lwamwanakazi. Mbaani babikkilizyidwe mulunyungu lwamuzoka? Aabo boonse baiya Saatani mukusula Leza akukazya bantu bakwe. Kuzwa kaindi, Saatani wabunganya lunyungu lwakwe mutubunga tusiyene-siyene twatwaambo twacisi naa mami. (Lk. 4:5, 6) Nikuba boobo, nimfwulumende buyo zisyoonto zyali kubajatikizya kapati bantu ba Leza, kufwumbwa naa ncisi cabana Israyeli naa nimbungano ya Banakristo bananike. Nkaambo nzi kaambo aaka ncokayandika kapati? Akaambo kakuti kapandulula ncokuli buyo bami bali lusele ibajisi nguzu kapati ibaambidwe muzilengaano zya Daniele alimwi a Johane.

⁶ Kumamanino kwamwaanda wamyaka wakusaanguna C.E., Jesu iwakabusyigwa wakatondezya mwaapostolo Johane zilengaano zikkomanisya. (Ciy. 1:1) Mucilengaano cimwi, Johane wakabona simwaaba wiiminina Diabolosi kaimvwi kunkomwe yalwizi lupati. (Amubale Ciyubunuzyo 13:1, 2.) Johane alimwi wakabona munyama uutazyibidwe kabotu kazwa mulwizi akupegwa nguzu zinji kuzwa kuli Diabolosi. Nikwakainda ciindi, mungelo wakapandulwida Johane kuti mitwe iili ciloba yamunyama uusalala nkokuti cikozyanyo camunyama waambidwe mulugwalo lwa Ciyubunuzyo 13:1, iiminina “bami bali ciloba” naa mfwulumende. (Ciy. 13:14, 15; 17:3, 9, 10) Ciindi Johane naakali kulemba businsimi oobu, bami bali musanu bakawide kale, omwe wakali kulela alimwi uumbi ‘taakaningasika pe.’ Ino bami aaba naa bweendelezi bwanyika yoonse ninzi? Atulange-lange mutwe wamunyama umwi aumwi uupanduludwe mubbuku lya Ciyubunuzyo. Alimwi tulabona nzyaakalemba Daniele mbozyigwasya kumvwisya bunji bwamami aaya, zimwi ziindi myaanda yamyaka musyule kaatanatalika kulela.

⁹ Mutwe wamunyama watatu Johane ngwaakabona wiiminina bwami ibwakajisi Babuloni mbuli munzi wabo mupati. Jehova wakazumizya bana Babuloni kusaala Jerusalemu alimwi akutola bantu bakwe mubuzike. Pele katanazumizya kuti eeci cicitike, Jehova wakabacenjezya bana Israyeli ibakazangide kuti mapenzi aali boobu akali kuyoobasikila. (2 Bam. 20:16-18) Wakaambilalimwi kuti mulongo wabeendelezi ibakali kwaambwa kuti bakkala “acuuno cabwami bwa-Jehova” mu Jerusalemu bakali kuyoogusyigwa. (1 Mak. 29:23) Nikuba boobo, Jehova wakasyomezya kuti waluzubo lwa Mwami Davida, ooyo “uuelede” wakali kuyooboola akutalika kweendelezya.—Ezk. 21:25-27.

¹⁰ Businsimi bumbi bwakatondezya kuti ciindi naakali kuyoosika Mesiya naa Imunanike iwakasyomezyegwa, ba Juda bakacili kubelesya tempele mu Jerusalemu kukomba. (Dan. 9:24-27) Businsimi bumbi ibwakalembwa bana Israyeli kabatanatolwa buzike ku Babuloni, bwakaamba kuti muntu ooyu wakali kuyoozyalilwa mu Betelehemu. (Mik. 5:2) Kutegwa businsimi oobu buzuzikizyigwe, ba Juda bakeelede kunununwa mubuzike, kupiluka kwabo alimwi akuyakulula tempele. Pele bana Babuloni tiibakajisi makanze aakwaangulula bazike. Ino penzi eeli lyakali kuyoomanizyigwa buti? Jehova wakabayubunwida bwiinguzi basinsimi bakwe.—Am. 3:7.

11. Ino Bulelo bwa Babuloni butondezyegwa munzila zili zisiyene-siyene? (Amubone bupanduluzi buyungizidwe.)

¹¹ Musinsimi Daniele wakali akati kabazike bakatolwa ku Babuloni. (Dan. 1:1-6) Jehova wakamubelesya kuyubununa bami bakali kuyootobela bwami bwa Babuloni. Jehova wakayubununa makani aaya aasisidwe kwiinda mukubelesya zitondezyo zisiyene-siyene. Mucikozyanyo, wakabelesya Mwami Nebukadinezara wabana Babuloni kulota ciloto cacikozyanyo cipati icakapangidwe alubulo lusiyene-siyene. (Amubale Daniele 2:1, 19, 31-38.) Kwiinda muli Daniele, Jehova wakayubununa mutwe wacikozyanyo wangolida kuti wakali kwiiminina Bulelo bwa Babuloni. * Camba amaanza  aansiliva ziiminina bweendelezi bwanyika yoonse ibwakali kuyootobela bweendelezi bwa Babuloni. Ino mbwami nzi oobu, alimwi ino bwakali kuyoobeendelezya buti bantu ba Leza?

MEDIYA A PERSIA—MUTWE WANE

¹² Kakucili mwaanda wamyaka Daniele katanazyalwa, Jehova kwiinda mumusinsimi Isaya wakayubununa bwami bwakali kuyoozunda bwami bwa Babuloni. Jehova wakayubununa mbookali kuyoozundwa munzi wa Babuloni alimwi azyina lyayooyo iwakali kuyakuuzunda. Mweendelezi ooyu wakali Koresi, waku Persia. (Is. 44:28–45:2) Daniele wakatondezyegwa zilengaano zyobilo izyakali kujatikizya Bweendelezi bwa Nyika Yoonse bwa Mediya a Persia. Mucilengaano cimwi, bwami oobu bwakatondezyegwa kabuli mbuli masekese (cibbeya) kacinyampwide cituta kulubazu lumwi. Cakaambilwa ‘kulya nyama inji.’ (Dan. 7:5) Mucilengaano cimbi, Daniele wakabona bwami bwamasi obilo ibweendelezya nyika yoonse kabwiimininwa ameja obilo aamugutu.—Dan. 8:3, 20.

¹³ Jehova wakabelesya Bulelo bwa Mediya a Persia kutegwa azuzikizye businsimi kwiinda mukuzunda Babuloni akupilusya bana Israyeli kucisi cabo. (2 Mak. 36:22, 23) Nikuba boobo, bweendelezi mbubwenya oobu bwakali kuyanda kubanyonyoona bantu ba Leza.

Daniele alimwi wakapegwa zilengaano zyobilo zijisi makani manji aajatikizya mbobwakali kuyooba bulelo oobu alimwi awakali kuyooba muleli mupati.

¹⁵ Mucilengaano cimwi, Daniele wakabona siluwe uujisi mababa one iwiiminina Greece, kutondezya kuti bulelo oobu bwakali kuyoozunda cakufwambaana.

Ooku ncobeni kwakali kulwanwa alunyungu lwa Saatani! Nikuba boobo, nikwakainda ciindi cisyoonto, Greece wakagusyigwa abweendelezi bwanyika yoonse. Ino nguni wakali kuyooba mutwe wacisambomwe wamunyama?
