Mutapu umwing udi kusutil ku mujikit wetu wa kulejan.

Chinech chifanyidin kutubachik chakwel tudandamena kwikal nich mushiku wa kusal yom yiwamp ni kwikal akash mu kulejan rusangu ruwamp ra Want.

10. Ov, mutapu ik chitwishikina kulond anch yaku yetu yiwamp yikat kuyipwit antu kudi Yehova?

¹⁰ Wikalap nchik wa usey mu mudimu wa kulejan, mushiku kusu awinau ukutwishap kuyipwit antu kudi Nzamb. Chom chakaad cha midimu ya mushiku chiyipwitina antu kudi Nzamb yidi yaku yiwamp ya in Kristu. Paul wakasikesha piur pa usey wa chaku chetu pafunday anch: “Kitusotilap muntu kudiul mudimu wetu, chawiy kitusotilap kuyipwakesh antu akwau.” (2 Kor. 6:3) Mazu metu mawamp ni mwikadil wetu utentamina ukat kuwapish malejan ma Nzamb, ni usadin anch difukwil dia Yehova diyisangaresha antu akwau. (Tit. 2:10) Chawiy lel, tuteshining yibudikin yiwamp pamenau yaku yetu ya in Kristu kudi antu a kashinsh.

11. Ov, mulong wak tufanyidin kutek mu malembil yibudikin ya chaku chetu?

 ¹¹ Ap anch twitiyijin anch yisal yetu yikutwish kuyibachik antu ku uuwamp, chibachikin cha chinyim ni chinech chitwishikin kand. Chawiy lel, ap anch tudi ku mudimu, ku chikumbu, ap ku shikol, tufanyidin kwipuk kusal anch muntu mwawonsu amana uyimp mu kulejan ni mu chaku chetu. Anch twasambish kusal chitil cha kwisotil, yibudikin yetu yikez kwikal yiyimp nakash. (Heb. 10:26, 27) Chitongijok chinech chifanyidin kutubachik kutek mu malembil yitusotina kusal ni mutapu umekena mwom wetu kudi antu akwau. Payila mu kuyip mikadil ya mangand minam, antu akashinsh akez “kaman kand kwaurik kwa . . . antu akata [kumusadil Nzamb] ni . . . akad [kumusadil].” (Mal. 3:18) Mwaning, chaku chetu chiwamp cha in Kristu chikwet usey nakash mu kusal anch antu ikala mu urund ni Nzamb.

12-14. Ov, mutapu ik kukutwisha kujijaman kwetu mu yoziu ya ritiy kwikal ni usu pa mutapu umenau antu akwau mudimu wetu wa kulejan? Let chilakej.

¹² Payifundinay in Korint, Paul walejan anch ndiy waman mar, kuzengol, ayibula, ni kuyitek mu rukan. (Tang 2 Korint 6:4, 5.) Anch kupak kwinoku kwa ritiy kwatushiken, kujijaman kwetu kukutwish kuyikwash antu atumena chakwel itiyija uyakin. Chilakej: Mu mivu yimwing yasutina, asota kuyishesh Atuman a Yehova adinga mu teritwar umwing wa Angola. Ambay a uruw aad Atuman ni antu akwau 30 asangaredina uyakin akumangana ku yikumangan yetu ayinyingumuka. Kupwa antu a ul eza awonsu kutal mutapu wadingau ni kuyibul antu akad mulong ni kuyidjish mash. Ayibula ap an ni amband. Awiy asota kuyovish antu awonsu wom chakwel kangal muntu ayitesha Atuman a Yehova. Pakwez kupwa kwa kuyibul mwamu ku mes kwa antu awonsu, yid yivud ya chisak yeza kudi Atuman ni yita malejan ma Bibil ma ku chikumbu! Kupwa mudimu wa kulejan Want wasambisha kuya kurutu, kukul ni ku kwikal nich yiyukish yivud.

¹³ Chilakej chinech chimekeshin usu ukash wa kujijaman kwetu mulong wa yany ya Bibil ukutwisha kwikal padi antu akwau. Tukutwish kushimok mutapu wikalau antu avud mu urund ni Nzamb mulong wa mushiku wa Pita ni wa atwimbuy akwau. (Mid. 5:17-29) Ku mutambu wetu, ambay a ku shikol, ambay a mudimu, ap yidi ya dijuku yikutwish kwitiyij uyakin pamenau mwikadil wetu piur pa yom yitentamina.

¹⁴ Mu chirung chin chawonsu, rupompat rukat kuyishiken antu amwing pakach pa akadivar netu. Chilakej, mu Arménie, piswimp akadivar 40 adi mu rukan mulong wa kulik kwau kwiyandjik mu milong ya mangand, ni akwau dikum ni aad akez kuyikas mu angond a kurutu. Mu Érythrée, atushalapol 55 a Yehova adi mu rukan, amwing pakach pau akwet mivu 60 ni kusut. Mu Corée du Sud, Atuman 700 adi mu rukan mulong wa ritiy rau. Mwikadil winou wasadin mivu 60. Tulembilany amboku chakwel ritiy ra akadivar netu adia mu jingand kushalijan rimutumbisha Nzamb ni kuyikwash antu akatina kutentam chakwel imana dang mulong wa difukwil diakin.—Kus. 76:8-10.

15. Let chilakej piur pa mutapu makutwisha mashakamin ma muntu wa kashinsh kuyipwitin antu akwau ku uyakin.

¹⁵ Mwikadil wetu wa antu a kashinsh ukutwish kusal anch antu akwau asangera uyakin. (Tang 2 Korint 6:4, 7.) Chilakej, shinshikin pa yom yashikena: “Nambaz umwing wading utekin nfalang mu mashin upanina ma tike mu bis, pamulejau kudi murund nend umwing anch ndiy kaswiridinap kufut tike mulong kayilap kulemp. Pakwez nambaz wamuleja anch chading chifanyidina kufut tike ap anch wading uyil piswimp. Kupwa murund nend washirika mu bis. Chawiy lel mwin kwendish wakarumuka kudi nambaz ni wamwipula anch, “Ov, udi Kaman wa Yehova?” Nambaz wamwakula anch “mwaning, ov, mulong wak wipul kal mwamu?” Ndiy wamulej anch “Nateshang mambamb men piur pa kufut tike wa bis, ni nij anch Atuman a Yehova adi pakach pa antu akemp nakash asadila mwamu ni adi  antu akashinsh mu yom yawonsu.” Pasuta angond akemp, muntu winou wamushejina nambaz ku chikumangan ni wamwipul anch, “Ov, wingij am? Nidi mwin kwendish bis wambamba ney piur pa kufut tike. Pinamana chaku chey, nakwata mupak wa kusambish kwilej Bibil ni Atuman a Yehova.” Katumb ketu ka kwikal antu a kashinsh kasadil anch twikala in kulejan a kashinsh.

¹⁶ Tukutwish kusal kand anch antu ikala piswimp ni Yehova anch twamekesh ngikadil yiney mudi kushimpish muchim, rukat ni kuwap. Antu atumena ukutwish kusot kwilej piur pa Yehova, pa jintong jend, ni antwend. Chitongijok ni chaku cha in Kristu akin chishalijadin nakash nich kwipan kudia chisu chivud kwa rubabek kusu.

Chikwau kand, antu avud alondina anch akat kumulondul Kristu pakwez kasotinap ‘kupan wakad kufutishan.’ (Mat. 10:8) Mudi in kupesh a mu Isarel wa pasak adinga ni “kulejan Yijil ya Nzamb mulong wa kutambul difut”—yom yivud yikatau kulejan yidiokilap mu Mukand wa Nzamb. (Mike 3:11) Chaku mudi chinech cha rubabek chikatap kuyitek antu piswimp ni Nzamb.
