1, 2. Chinyim ni ma egliz ma Kristendom, ov, mutapu ik umenau Atuman a Yehova dijin dia Nzamb?

YISU YIVUD, ma egliz ma Kristendom miteka kulemp ni dijin dia Nzamb. Chilakej, pa paj wa kusambish wa Bibil utazukinau anch “Revised Standard Version” alejen anch: “Kusadil kwa dijin dimwing mulong wa kumutazuk Nzamb umwing ni umwing kusu . . . kwambatenap nich ritiy ra Egliz wa Kristendom pa mangand mawonsu.”

² Pakwez, Atuman a Yehova, akat kwibaz mulong asendin dijin dia Nzamb ni kuditumbish. (Tang Kuseng 86:12; Isay 43:10.) Chikwau kand, tukwet chisend cha kutesh kurumburik kwa dijin dined ni mulong wa win-mangand wimedina piur pa kutumbish kwa dijin dined. (Mat. 6:9) Cha kaad, tufanyidinap kuman anch chisend chinech chidi chamwamu. Chawiy lel, shinshikinany amboku pa yipul yiney yisatu: Ov, chom ik chirumburikina kwijik dijin dia Nzamb? Ov, mutapu ik wasalay Yehova yom kulondulijan ni dijin diend dijim, ni kuditumbish? Ni mutapu ik tukutwisha kwendin mu dijin dia Yehova?

3. Ov, chom ik chirumburikina kwijik dijin dia Nzamb?

³ Kwijik dijin dia Nzamb kwitin yom yivud kupandakanamu kwijik kusu dizu “Yehova.” Chinech chitin kwijik katumb ka Yehova, mikadil yend, rutong rend, ni midimu yalejanay mu Bibil, mudi yom yasalay kudi atushalapol end. Chakin kamu, Yehova wapana njingunin yend pakemp-pakemp, kwambatan nich kuwanyin kwa rutong rend. (Jinsw. 4:18) Yehova wayileja antu aad a kusambish dijin diend; chawiy lel, pamuvalay Kain, Ev wajimbula dijin dined. (Dis. 4:1) Ashankur ashinshamena mudi Nowa, Aburaham, Isak, nenday Jakob ading ij dijin dia Nzamb. Chikwau kand, kusanger kwa dijin dined kwapandakana payiyukishau ni payilamau kudi Yehova, ni kuyilej milad ya  rutong rend. Amwinkisha Moses njingunin ja pakampwil mu dijin dia Nzamb.

4. Ov, mulong wak Moses wa mwipula Nzamb piur pa dijin diend, ni mulong wak yitongijok ya Moses yading yovikena?

⁴ Tang Kubudik 3:10-15. Pawanyishay Moses mivu 80, Nzamb wamwinkisha chijil chinech chikash anch: “Ey ukez kuyidiosh antwam, awiy kamu in Isarel adia mu Idjibit.” Moses wamwakula nich kalimish kusutil ku chipul chimwing cha usey nakash. Chaad, Moses wamwipula anch: ‘Dijin diey nany?’ Mulong dijin dia Nzamb diading dijikena kudiosh pasak, pisu padinga pimedina chipul cha Moses? Chimeken patok anch, ndiy wasota kwijik yom yivud piur pa untu wend wamekesay kusutil ku dijin diend—yom yafanyidina kuyikasikesh antu a Nzamb anch ndiy ukez kuyipandish chakin kamu. Chitongijok cha Moses chading cha usey, mulong pa chisu chimwing, in Isarel adinga mu uswik. Awiy asambisha kwiyipul anch Nzamb wa angakau wela kutwish kuyipandish. Kupwa kand, in Isarel amwing asambisha ap kuyifukwil anzamb a in Idjibit!—Ezek. 20:7, 8.

5. Ov, mutapu ik walejanay Yehova patok piur pa kurumburik kwa dijin diend pamwakulay Moses?

⁵ Ov, mutapu ik wakulay Yehova ku chipul cha Moses? Chaad, ndiy walonda anch: “Ukalondang mwamu kudi in Isarel anch: ‘AM NIDI wantumang kudi en.’” * Kupwa waweja kand anch: “[Yehova] Nzamb wa atatukwen . . . wantumang am kudi en.” Nzamb walejana anch ndiy ukez kwikal chawonsu chisotilay kwikal chakwel awanyisha rutong rend, anch ukez kusal usu chakwel dizu diend dikala diakin. Kupwa, mu verse wa 15 afundin anch Yehova amwinend ulondin anch: “Dined didi dijin diam dia chikupu.” Mazu minam mafanyidina kukasikesh mud ik ritiy ra Moses ni kusal anch ikala ni kalimish!

6, 7. Ov, mutapu ik washakamay Yehova kulondulijan ni dijin diend dijim?

⁶ Kupwa kwa kumwinkish Moses mudimu, Yehova wasala yom kwambatan ni dijin diend kusutil ku ‘kumekesh anch wading’ mwin Kuyipandish in Isarel. Ndiy wayovisha usany in Idjibit nich yipup dikum yayibulau, ni kumekesh kapamp kamwing anch anzamb a in idjibit—ni Farao—kadingap ni usu. (Kub. 12:12) Chawiy lel, Yehova waurila Karung Usuz, ni kuyitwal in Isarel mukach, kupwa wayijiyisha Farao ni amasalay end. (Kus. 136:13-15) “Mwi mpay yawonsu ya mar makash,” Yehova wamekesha anch udi Kalam wa mwom ni wayinkisha antwend yakudia ni mem, ading pamwing ap mamiliyon maad, masatu ap kupandakanamu! Ndiy wasala  anch kwikil yidjal yapoka ap kwikil yisapat yafila ku mend mau. (Kuv. 1:19; 29:5) Mwaning kwikil chom chikutwisha kumukangesh Yehova kumekesh anch udi wakin kulondulijan nich dijin diend diamushena. Ndiy wamuleja kand Isay anch: “—Yam kamu [Yehova]. Kwikil mukwau ukutwisha kukupandishany en.”—Isay 43:11.

⁷ Joshua wamuswinkana Moses, walejana ni ndiy piur pa yisal yamushena ya Yehova yasalay mu Idjibit ni mwi mpay. Chawiy lel, piswimp ni kufa kwend, Joshua washikena ku kuyilej ambay nend in Isarel nich muchim wend wawonsu anch: “Wijany ku michim yen, ni ku mipim yenen awonsu anch kushilamu kwawonsu kuwamp kwashilayimu [Yehova] Nzamb wen mulong wenen, kwikil chom ap kusu chimwing chaburena kuwanyin. Yawonsu yasadika mulong wenen. Kwikil chom ap chimwing chaburena, bwat.” (Jos. 23:14) Mwaning, pakad kwidjidjek, Yehova wa wanyisha dizu diend, ni ‘wamekesha anch ndiy udi.’

8. Ov, mutapu ik usadinay Yehova yom kwambatan nich dizu diend nlel unou?

⁸ Ap nlel unou, Yehova ukat ‘kumekesh anch ndiy udi.’ Kusutil kudi Mwanend, ndiy watakela kulejan anch mu machuku mansudiel, rusangu ra Want akez karulejan “ku mangand mawonsu.” (Mat. 24:14) Ov, nany mukwau wakad kwikal Nzamb wa Dikand Diawonsu ukutwisha kutakel kulejan piur pa mudimu mudi winou, kushinshikin anch usadikin, ni kuyisadil “antu amwamu akad kwilej” chakwel asala mudimu winou? (Mid. 4:13) Chawiy lel, pitusadila mudimu winou, tuwanyishin uprofet wa Bibil. Tumulimishin Tatukwetu ni tumekeshin kurumburik kwakin kwa malembil metu: “Dijin diey aditumbish. Want wey weza. Rusot rey arusala pansh mudi mwiur.”—Mat. 6:9, 10.

9, 10. Kulondulijan nich yisal yend pantaliken ni in Isarel, ov mutapu ik wadandamenay Yehova kukasikesh kurumburik kwa dijin diend, nich chibudikin ik?

⁹ Kupwa kwa kubudik kwa in Isarel, Yehova wikala chom chimwing chisu kudi antwend. Kusutil ku manswik ma Chijil, ndiy wikala ‘nfumwau,’ ni wasota kuwanyish yisend yawonsu yambatena nich mwikadil winou. (Jer. 3:14) Kupwa, Isarel wikala mukajend mu chifanikesh, antu akweta dijin diend. (Isay 54:5, 6) Padingau ni kumuziyil kwa kwisotil ni kulam yijil yend, ndiy wamekesha anch udi ‘ikundj’ uwanyidina. Ndiy wasota kuyiyukish, wayilama, ni wayinkisha chisambu. (Kuch. 6:22-27) Chawiy chikeza kutumbishiu dijin dijim dia Yehova pakach pa michid. (Tang Kuvurik Yijil 4:5-8; Kuseng 86:7-10.) Chikwau kand, mu rusangu ra in Isarel, angez avud ayipwitina ku difukwil diakin. Chawiy lel, awiy alonda mudi Rut mwin Mowab kudi Nawom anch: “Anamakwey akwikal anamakwam, ni Nzamb wey ukwikal Nzamb wam.”—Rut 1:16.

 ¹⁰ Mu mivu 1500 yasuta, yom yasalay Yehova kudi in Isarel yamekesha mikadil yivud yisu ya untu wend. Chikalap nchik kubwambwil kwa muchid winou, Yehova wamekesha yisu ni yisu anch udi “Nzamb wa ranaken” ni “wakad kwovang ujim swa.” Ndiy wading Nzamb wa kushimpish muchim ni kwitudish kwamushena. (Kub. 34:5-7) Pakwez, kushimpish muchim kwa Yehova kwading ni mupak, ni mupak winou wamekana pamulikau ni kumujip Mwanend kudi muchid wa in Yuda. (Mat. 23:37, 38) An a ku mujimbu a in Isarel kadandamenap kwikal antu a dijin dia Nzamb. Kupwa, afa muspiritu, mudi mutond uumina. (Luka 23:31) Ov, chinech chikala nich usu pa mwikadil wau pantaliken ni dijin dia Nzamb mutapu ik?

11. Ov, mutapu ik walika muchid wa in Yuda kasadil kand dijin dia Nzamb?

¹¹ Rusangu rilejen anch, pasak, in Yuda asambisha kwov wom wa kusadil dijin dia Nzamb, ni kuman anch chifanyidinap kujimbul dijin dined. (Kub. 20:7) Pakemp-pakemp kasambishap kand kusadil dijin dia Nzamb mu relijon wa in Yuda. Chidi chom chovishena kuyip mudi ik pa kuman mutapu walikau kulimish dijin diend. (Kus. 78:40, 41) Mulong Nzamb, “dijin diend Mukau,” chimeken patok anch ndiy kakezap kupan dijin diend kudi antu amulika ni antu alikau kudi ndiy. (Kub. 34:14) Chinech chifanyidin kutushimokish piur pa usey wa kudandamen kulimish nakash dijin dia Sakatang wetu.

12. Ov, mutapu ik wasalay Yehova anch kwikala antu atakelau kulejan anch akwet dijin dined?

¹² Kusutil kudi Jeremiy, Yehova walejana rutong rend ra kuswik “manswik masu” nich muchid usu, ap Isarel wa muspiritu. Jeremiy watakela kulejan anch yid yawonsu ya muchid yiney, “kudiokal ku antu akemp djat ni ku antu ajim,” akez ‘kumwijik [Yehova].’ (Jer. 31:31, 33, 34) Uprofet winou wasambisha kuwanyin pa Pentekot wa muvu wa 33 C.C. patenchikay Nzamb manswik masu. Yehova walejana anch, muchid usu, “in Isarel akin a Nzamb,” in Yuda ni akad kwikal in Yuda, ikala ‘antu akweta dijin diend,’ ap ‘antu atazukay pa dijin diend.’—Gal. 6:16; tang Midimu 15:14-17; Mat. 21:43.

13. (a) Ov, in Kristu a kusambish asadila dijin dia Nzamb? Rumburil. (b) Ov, mutapu ik umena chisend cha kusadil dijin dia Yehova mu mudimu wey wa kulejan?

¹³ Mudi ‘antu atazukau ku dijin diend,’ yid ya muchid wa muspiritu yasadila dijin dia Nzamb, asala chakin kamu mwau padingau ni kudijimbul mu Mifund ya Hebereu. * Chawiy lel, payilejay Pita antu a michid kushalijan a in Yuda ni akamichid pa Pantekot wa muvu wa 33 C.C., ndiy wasadila dijin dia Nzamb tupamp tuvud. (Mid. 2:14, 20, 21, 25, 34) In Kristu a kusambish amulimisha Yehova, chawiy lel, Yehova ni ndiy wayukisha usu wau mu mudimu wa kulejan. Ni nlel unou, Yehova ukat kuyukish mudimu wetu wa kulejan pitukata kulejan nich musangar dijin diend ni kudilejan kudi antu asangaredina uyakin, kusutil ma Bibil mau anch chitwishikin. Tusadil usu wa kuyitwal kudi Nzamb wakin. Chidi chisend mudi ik—kudi awiy ni kudi etu! Kuyitwal kwinoku kudi Nzamb kukutwish kwikal disambishil dia urund wamushena ni Yehova, ukeza kwikal ukash ni kudandamen chikupu.

14, 15. Chikalap nchik kupandakan kwa kupumbuk, ov, chom ik chasalay Yehova piur pa dijin diend dia chivurikish?

¹⁴ Kupwa, kupumbuk kwasambisha mu chikumangen cha kusambish cha win Kristu, kupwa kwa rufu ra atwimbuy. (2 Tes. 2:3-7) Malejan ma makasu mandama ap mu chaku cha in Yuda cha kulik kusadil Dijin dia Nzamb. Ov, Yehova  wela kulikidil chakwel adiosha dijin diend dia chivurikish? Bwat! Ap anch, chitwishikinap kujimbul katat dijin dined mudi mwadingau ni kudijimbul pasak, pakwez dijin dia Nzamb diadandamena kwikalaku. Pasuta machuku, dijin dined diamekana mu yikarumun kushalijan ya Bibil, ni mu mikand ya in kwilej Bibil. Chilakej, mu muvu wa 1757, Charles Peters wafunda anch chinyim ni yijiken yivud ya Nzamb “Yehova umeken anch didi dijin dilejen patok kurumburik kwend.” Mu muvu wa 1797 mu buku wisambina piur pa difukwil dia Nzamb, Hopton Haynes usambishin pa shapitre wa 7 anch: “YEHOVA dijin dia NZAMB amwinend pakach pa in Yuda; udi kand amwinend wifukwilau; mudi kand mwasalau Kristu ni Atwimbuy end.” Henry Grew (1781-1862) kasadilap kusu dijin dia Nzamb pakwez witiyija kand anch adiyipisha ni afanyidin kuditumbish. Chilik chimwing, George Storrs (1796-1879), murund wa piswimp wa Charles T. Russell, wasadila dijin dia Nzamb, mudi mwasalay Russell amwinend.

¹⁵ Muvu wa 1931 wading wa usey nakash, mulong pa muvu winou antu a Nzamb ading atazukinau anch in Kwilej Bibil pa Mangand Mawonsu, asenda dijin didiokila mu Bibil anch Atuman a Yehova. (Isay 43:10-12) Awiy alejana kand kudi antu anch awiy asangera kwikal atushalapol a Nzamb umwing kusu wakin, ni kwikal ‘antu atazukinau pa dijin diend,’ ni kushiman dijin dined. (Mid. 15:14) Kuya kurutu kwinoku kutuvurishin mazu ma Yehova madia mu Malakiy 1:11: “Antu awonsu, kudiokal ku mutambu wa ngand djat ni ku mutambu ukwau, akat kwinlimish am.”

16. Ov, mutapu ik tufanyidina kuman anch kadi katumb mudi ik kumuziyil ni kumwifukwil [Yehova] Nzamb?

¹⁶ Muprofet Mike wafunda anch: “Antu a michid yawonsu akat kuziyil ni kwifukwil akish au ayinau. Pakwez etu tukez kamuziyil ni kumwifukwil [Yehova] Nzamb wetu chikupu ni chikupu.” (Mike 4:5) Anch Yehova wasala anch in Kwilej Bibil asenda dijin dined chinech chading katumb kamwing kajim nakash. Chinech chamekesha kand patok anch akwet dilau diend. (Tang Malakiy 3:16-18.) Ov, chidi nchik piur pa untu wey? Ov, usadil usu wa “kumuziyil ni kumwifukwil [Yehova] Nzamb”? Ov, usangaredin kusal mwamu?

17. Ov, chom ik chitina mu kwendin mu dijin dia Nzamb?

¹⁷ Kwendin mu Dijin dia Nzamb kwitin kusal yom yisatu. Cha kusambish, tufanyidin kulejan dijin dined kudi antu akwau, kwitiyij anch ching kusu ‘antu akutazukau pa dijin dia [Yehova] akeza kupand.’ (Rom 10:13) Cha kaad, tufanyidin kumekesh mikadil ya Yehova, pakampwil rukat rend. Cha kasatu, tukat kwendin mu dijin dia Nzamb pitukata kusanger kuziyil ku yijil yend yitentamina, chakwel kangal tuyipisha dijin ditumbila dia Tatukwetu. (1 Yoh. 4:8; 5:3) Ov, usadin usu wa “kumuziyil ni kumwifukwil [Yehova] Nzamb wetu chikupu ni chikupu”?

18. Ov, mulong wak antu awonsu alimishina dijin dijim dia Yehova achingedin machuku ma kurutu nich ruchingej?

¹⁸ Piswimp ap antu awonsu akad kumwijik ap kumov Yehova wom akez kuyishindil chakwel amwitiyija. (Ezek. 38:23) Ni antu adia mudi Farao walonda anch: “[Yehova] udi nany unikutwisha am kwitiyij dizu diend?” Ndiy wileja swaa mud ik! (Kub. 5:1, 2; 9:16; 12:29) Pakwez, etu tusotin kumwijik Yehova. Tukat kwibaz mulong wa kwipil dijin diend ni kwikal antwend aziyidila atazukinau pa dijin diend. Chawiy lel, tuchingedin nich ruchingej mu machuku ma kurutu mu kushilamu kwafundau mu Kuseng 9:10: “Awiy ija dijin diey akukungamen padi Ey [Yehova], mulong Ey kiukulikip awiy akata kukusot.”
