Omolwoixuna oyo, otashi dulika va mone shidjuu okwiitavela kutya oku na Omushiti omunahole. Onghee hano, ngeenge omunhu okwa limbililwa kutya oku na ngoo Kalunga, ohatu dulu oku mu pula kutya, “Osho wa kala u udite ngaho nghee wa dja?” Ngeenge omunhu okwa ti ahowe, ohatu dulu oku mu pula ngeenge ope na oshinima shokondadalunde osho she mu etela omalimbililo e na sha nongeenge Kalunga oko ngoo e li.

Ohai tu kwafele tu ‘kale twa wana notwa wanenena oshilonga keshe shiwa.’ (2 Tim. 3:16, 17)  Okupondola kwetu moukalele inaku likolelela kouhapu womishangwa odo hatu leshele ovanhu, ndele okonghedi omo hatu tomhafana nokuyelifa omishangwa odo twe va leshela. (Lesha Oilonga 17:2, 3.) Natu shi faneke hatu longifa eenghalo nhatu tadi shikula.

Ngeenge omunhu okwa kanyatela kehongo loheli otashi dulika omolwaashi okwa halelela ovanhu ovo hava longo owii va ka pewe ehandukilo. Ongahelipi hatu dulu okutomhafana nomunhu oo e udite ngaho? Tete otwa pumbwa oku mu shilipaleka kutya ovakolokoshi otava ka handukilwa. (2 Tes. 1:9) Opo nee ohatu dulu oku mu pa a leshe Genesis 2:16, 17 oo ta ulike kutya ondjabi youlunde oyo efyo.

Opo nee ohatu dulu oku mu pula kutya, “Ngeno Adam naEva ova li ve na oku ka hepekwa fiyo alushe, ngeno kasha li pauyuki oku va londwela kombinga yaasho?” Oto dulu yo okuleshela omunhu Genesis 3:19 omo mwa popiwa okutokolwa kwaAdam naEva konima eshi va nyona, ndele inamu popiwa sha shi na sha noheli. Ponhele  yaasho, Adam okwa li a lombwelwa kutya ota ka shuna medu. Ohatu dulu vali okupula omunhu kutya, “Mbela osha li ngoo tashi ka kala pauyuki okulombwela Adam kutya otai medu ofimbo mboli paulelalela tai moheli”? Ngeenge omunhu a tya ngaho oku na etaleko la mbwalangadja, epulo la tya ngaho otali ke mu kwafela a diladile moule shi na sha noshikundafanwa osho.

¹¹ Onghalo 3: Natu tye nee ngeno owa shakeneka omunhu moukalele a itavela kutya ovanhu aveshe ovo hava longo ouwa otava i meulu. Eitavelo la tya ngaho otashi dulika la nwefwa mo konghedi omo omunhu he lifatululile Omishangwa. Pashihopaenenwa, natu tye nee ohatu kundafana naye Ehololo 21:4. (Lesha.) Omunhu otashi dulika a diladile kutya omanangeko noupuna oo a popiwa movelishe oyo otaa ka hafelwa meulu. Ongahelipi hatu dulu okutomhafana naye? Ponhele yokulongifa omishangwa dimwe odo tadi yandje oumbangi kutya hameulu, ohatu dulu okuyandja elitulemo koinima yonhumba oyo ya tumbulwa movelishe oyo.

Otashi dulika a tye okwe shi dimina. Opo nee ohatu dulu oku mu yelifila kutya meulu ihamu fiwa; kombada yedu oko ashike haku fiwa. Osha yela kutya Ehololo 21:4 otai popi kombinga yomanangeko noupuna omonakwiiwa oku kombada yedu. — Eps. 37:29.

12. Omolwashike Jesus a li a longifa omafaneko?

¹² Kakele kokulongifa omapulo, Jesus okwa li yo ha longifa omafaneko pefimbo loilonga yaye yokuudifa. (Lesha Mateus 13:34, 35.) Omafaneko okwa li hae mu kwafele a shiive omalinyengotomheno aavo va li tava pwilikine kuye. (Mat. 13:10-15) Omafaneko okwa li yo haa ningifa osho ta hongo shi kale shihokwifa noitashi dimbuwa. Ongahelipi hatu dulu okulongifa omafaneko mokuhonga kwetu?

13. Efaneko lilipi hatu dulu okulongifa tu ulike kutya Kalunga ke fike pamwe naJesus?

¹³ Omafaneko oo e li paunafangwa oo unene mawa okulongifa. Pashihopaenenwa, ngeenge hatu yelifa kutya Kalunga oku dule Jesus, ohatu dulu okulongifa eetepo tali landula. Ohatu dulu okuyelifila omuneumbo kutya Kalunga naJesus ova popya kutya ova pambafana ngahelipi. Kalunga okwa ti kutya Jesus Omona waye, na Jesus okwa ti kutya Kalunga oXe. (Luk. 3:21, 22; Joh. 14:28) Opo nee ohatu dulu okupula omuneumbo kutya: “Paife natu tye nee ngeno owa hala okuhonga nge kutya ovanhu vavali ove fike pamwe. Mbela efaneko lilipi to dulu okulongifa le likolelela kepambafano loilyo youkwaneumbo opo u dule okuyelifila nge nawa oshitwa osho?” Omunhu otashi dulika a tumbule ovamwainafana vavali, tashi dulika nokuli ovo va dalwa eehamba. Ngeenge osho a longifa osho, ohatu dulu oku mu lombwela kutya efaneko olo ola yukila ko filufilu. Opo nee ohatu dulu oku mu pula kutya: “Ngeenge ame naave ohatu dulu okulongifa efaneko la yukila ko la tya ngaho, mbela ngeno Jesus, oo e li Omuhongi Munene, ngeno naye ina longifa efaneko la faafana? Ashike Jesus okwa ti kutya Kalunga oXe. Kungaho Jesus okwa ulika kutya Kalunga okwa kula noku na eenghonopangelo dinene e mu dule.”

14. Efaneko lilipi tali ulike kutya inashi yukila ko Kalunga a longife Satana oye a hepeke ovanhu momundilo woheli?

¹⁴ Natu ka taleni vali koshihopaenenwa shimwe. Ovanhu vamwe ova itavela kutya Satana oye ta pashukile oheli? Ohatu dulu okulongifa efaneko olo tali dulu okukwafela ovadali va mone kutya inashi yukila ko Kalunga a longife Ondiaboli i xwike ovanhu momundilo woheli. Ohatu dulu okutya: “Diladila nee ngeno u na okaana oko ka ninga okanashibofa neenghono notaka ningi oinima ihapu ii. Mbela oto ke linyenga ngahelipi?” Omudali otashi dulika a tye kutya ota ka pukulula okaana kaye. Otashi dulika a ninga eenghendabala lwoikando, ndele natango okaana otaka twikile ashike okulonga owii. (Omayel. 22:15) Pomhito opo, ohatu dulu okupula omudali kutya ota ka ninga po  shike ngeenge okaana oka anya filufilu okutambula ko omapukululo aye. Ovadali vahapu otashi dulika va tye kutya xuuninwa otava ka yandja outekuduliko kokaana ka tya ngaho. Opo nee ohatu dulu okupula kutya: “Ongahelipi ngeenge owa didilike kutya ope na omulongi wowii oo a nwefa mo okaana koye ka kale okanashibofa?” Nopehe na omalimbililo, omudali ota ka kala a handukila omunhu a tya ngaho. Opo tu kwafele omudali oo a ude ko oshitwa shefaneko, ohatu dulu okupula kutya, “Ngeenge ou shii kutya omunhu wonhumba oye a nwefa mo okaana koye ka ninge okanashibofa, mbela oto ka pula omunhu a tya ngaho oye a pe okaana koye outekuduliko?” Nopehe na omalimbililo, omudali ota ka nyamukula kutya hasho ta ka ninga nandenande. Sha faafana, Kalunga ita ka longifa nandenande Satana oye a handukile ovanhu ovo oye e va nwefa mo va longe owii!

15, 16. (a) Omolwashike tuhe na okuteelela keshe omunhu oo hatu udifile a tambule ko etumwalaka lOuhamba? (b) Mbela otu na okukala tu na oipewa ye likalekelwa opo tu dule okuhonga vamwe nomupondo? Shi yelifa. (Tala yo oshimhungu “ Osho tashi tu kwafele tu dule okunyamukula keshe umwe.”)

¹⁵ Otwa didilika kutya havanhu aveshe ovo hatu udifile tava ka tambula ko etumwalaka lOuhamba. (Mat. 10:11-14) Osho osho shi na okukala ngaho kashi na nee mbudi kutya ohatu pula omapulo a lukilwa nawa, hatu tomhafana monghedi ya denga mbada nohatu longifa omafaneko a shiya ko kuhe na vali. Kakele kaasho, ovanhu ashike vanini va li va pwilikina komahongo aJesus, ye oye aeke Omuhongi Munene oo a li kombada yedu. — Joh. 6:66; 7:45-48.

¹⁶ Shikwao vali, nokuli nonande otu udite kutya katu na oshipewa shokuhonga, ohatu dulu okupondola moukalele wetu. (Lesha Oilonga 4:13.) Eendjovo daKalunga ode tu pa etomheno tali ti sha lokwiitavela kutya “aveshe ovo va halelela oku ka mona omwenyo” otava ka tambula ko onghundana iwa. (Oil. 13:48, NW) Onghee hano, natu kulikeni nokukala tu na etaleko li li pandjele li na sha nafye vene nosho yo ovo hatu udifile onghundana iwa yOuhamba. Natu longifeni pauyadi edeulo olo Jehova te tu pe, tu na elineekelo kutya otali ke tu etela ouwa nosho yo ovo tave tu pwilikine.
