5. Omolwashike Jehova a li a kondjela ohamba Hiskia?

Okuninga ngaho kakwa li ashike kwa etela Josia omanangeko noupuna ndele oshiwana ashishe nasho osha li yo sha nangekwa noupuna. — Lesha 2 Omafimbo 34:31-33.

Ngeenge eitavelo lOvaisrael la li la nghundipala, luhapu ova li hava “fungaafungifwa keemhepo adishe delongo” ngaashi omuyapostoli Paulus a ti. (Ef. 4:13, 14) Ngaashi sha li sha xunganekwa, ngeenge va li inave lineekela omadimbulukifo aKalunga ova li hava mono oilanduliko inyemateka. — Lev. 26:23-25; Jer. 5:23-25.

9. Ongahelipi Jehova a li a shilipaleka Ovaisrael eshi va li mombuwa kutya ote ke va fila oshisho?

Jehova okwa li a longifa oluudi loshilemo omutenya nosho yo lomundilo oufiku opo a dimbulukife Ovaisrael kutya ote ke va fila oshisho eshi te va pitifa mombuwa. (Deut. 1:19; Ex. 40:36-38) Okwa kala yo te va wanifile po eemhumbwe davo da fimanenena. ‘Oikutu yavo inai kulupa neemhadi davo inadi dinda.’ “Inava hepa sha” nandenande. — Neh. 9:19-21.

(Mat. 24:21, 22; Eps. 119:40, 41) Oshoshili kutya Jehova ina longekida oluudi loshilemo ile lomundilo olo li tu wilike fiyo mounyuni mupe. Ashike, ota longifa ehangano laye opo li tu kwafele tu kale oupafi. Pashihopaenenwa, otwa kala hatu ladipikwa lwoikando kutya natu tunge oupamhepo wetu mokukala hatu lesha Ombibeli paumwene, twe litulila po efiku lElongelokalunga lOukwaneumbo nokukala pokwoongala nomoukalele pandjikilile.

Ndele okwa li a ninga shihapu shihe fi ashike oku va lombwela kutya okukala omulininipiki otashi ti shike, moku va tulila po oshihopaenenwa. Jesus okwa li a ongaleka ovayapostoli vaye va dane Opaasa mefiku laxuuninwa lokukalamwenyo  kwaye kwokombada yedu. Ndele fimbo ovayapostoli va li tava li, Jesus okwa fikama ndele ta kosho eemhadi davo, oshilonga osho sha li hashi longwa komupiya. (Joh. 13:1-17) Oshihopaenenwa osho shelininipiko osha li she va kuma neenghono. Konima yomido 30 da ka landula ko, omuyapostoli Petrus, oo naye eemhadi daye da li da koshwa, okwa ka pa ovaitaveli vakwao omayele e na sha nelininipiko. (1 Pet. 5:5) Oshihopaenenwa shaJesus oshi na oku tu linyengifa atusheni tu kaleni ovalininipiki eshi hatu ungaunga navakwetu. — Fil. 2:5-8.

(Lesha Mateus 21:18-22.) Ohatu longifa ngoo pauyadi eemhito odo tu na opo tu pameke eitavelo letu okupitila momayele taa tungu oo hatu pewa poyoongalele nosho yo pokwoongala kwopaKriste? Oiningwanima ya tya ngaho ihai kala ashike ihafifa, ndele oi li eemhito opo tu na okuulika kutya otwe lineekela Jehova.

Jesus okwa ti kutya oshipango oshitivali shinenenene oshosho kutya, “hola omukweni ngaashi ove u lihole mwene.” (Mat. 22:39) Sha faafana, omumwaina waJesus, Jakob, okwa ti kutya ohole oyo “omhango onghwahamba.” (Jak. 2:8) Omuyapostoli Johannes okwa shanga ta ti: “Ovaholike, hashipango shipe handi shi mu shangele, ndelenee oshipango shikulu mwa kala nasho okehovelo.” (1 Joh. 2:7, 8) Johannes okwa li ta ulike kushike eshi a ti “oshipango shikulu”? Okwa li ta ulike koshipango shi na sha nokuholafana. Osha li “shikulu” meityo olo kutya Jesus okwa hangwa nale eshi yandja ‘kehovelo,’ omido omilongo da tetekela. Ndele osha li yo “shipe” molwaashi otashi pula omhepo yeliyambo, oyo ovahongwa tashi dulika va li va pumbwa eshi tava ka shakeneka eenghalo dipe. Tu li ovahongwa vaKristus, mbela inatu pandula omalondwelo oo tae tu kwafele tu henuke okukulika omhepo yokuliholamwene oyo i li apeshe mounyuni, oyo tai dulu okunyona po ohole yetu yokuhola ovanhu vakwetu?

Ashike oshilonga shaye sha fimanenena kasha li okuvelula ovanhu palutu. Oilonga yaye yokuudifa nokuhonga oyo unene ya li tai ka etela ovanhu ouwa tau kalelele. Ngahelipi mbela? Pashihopaenenwa, otu shi shii kutya ovo Jesus a li a velula nokwa nyumuna mefelemudo lotete, lwanima ova ka kulupa nova ka fya, ofimbo ovo va li va tambula ko etumwalaka olo a li ta udifa va li ve na eteelelo loku ka kala nomwenyo fiyo alushe. — Joh. 11:25, 26.

16. Oilonga yokuudifa Ouhamba noyokuninga ovanhu ovahongwa otai longwa shi fike peni kunena?

¹⁶ Oilonga yokuudifa oyo Jesus a hovela mefelemudo lotete oya tamunuka mo neenghono kunena. Jesus okwa lombwela ovahongwa vaye ta ti: “Indeni hano ka ningeni ovanhu [vomoiwana aishe, NW] ovalongwa vange.” (Mat. 28:19) Ovahongwa vaye osho va li va ninga, ndele nafye osho hatu ningi! Eendombwedi daJehova de lipyakidila di dulife pomamiliyona a-7 otadi udifa nouladi Ouhamba waKalunga moilongo i dulife po 230, nohadi konakona Ombibeli pandjikilile novanhu omamiliyona. Oilonga oyo yokuudifa otai yandje oumbangi kutya otu li momafiku axuuninwa.

Ahowe, osho osha li euliko kutya Kalunga oku va hole, naasho oshe va kwafela va ‘kale nokukula mefilonghenda nomokushiiva Omwene Omukulili wetu Jesus Kristus.’ — 2 Pet. 3:18.

¹⁹ Kunena, otu na omatomheno mahapu okukala twe lineekela omadimbulukifo aJehova oo e li mEendjovo daye di shii okulineekelwa, Ombibeli. (Lesha Josua 23:14.) MOmbibeli omwa popiwa shi na sha nanghee Kalunga a kala ta ungaunga novanhu inava wanenena oule womido omayovi. Ouyelele wa tya ngaho owa shangwa omolwouwa wetu. (Rom. 15:4; 1 Kor. 10:11) Otwa mona yo nghee omaxunganeko Ombibeli a wanifwa. Otaku dulu okutiwa kutya omaxunganeko oo omadimbulukifo a yandjwa komesho yefimbo. Pashihopaenenwa, ovanhu omamiliyona otava mbobolokele melongelokalunga laJehova la koshoka, ngaashi kwa li kwa xunganekwa kutya osho otashi ka ningwa “pomaxulilo omafiku.” (Jes. 2:2, 3) Eenghalo dounyuni odo tadi naipala nado odi li yo ewanifo lexunganeko lOmbibeli. Ngaashi sha tumbulwa metetekelo, oilonga yokuudifa oyo tai longwa mounyuni aushe oi li ewanifo leendjovo daJesus. — Mat. 24:14.
