Osha yela kutya ekwatafano lavo lopofingo olo le va ningifa va kale ve holafane neenghono.

Omupsalme David okwa imba ta ti: “Omwene, ondi ku hole nohole yokomutima, Oove eenghono dange.” (Eps. 18:2) Nafye osho tu na okukala tu uditile Kalunga ngaho molwaashi oku tu hole. Ngeenge otwa kala hatu dulika kuKalunga, ota ka ulika kutya oku tu hole. (Lesha Deuteronomion 7:12, 13.) Ndele mbela ohatu dulu ngoo okukala tu hole shili Kalunga ye ihatu mu mono?

³ “Kalunga Oye Omhepo,” onghee hano, itatu dulu oku mu mona. (Joh. 4:24) Ndele ohatu dulu okukala tu mu hole, notwa lombwelwa mOmbibeli tu ulike ohole ya tya ngaho. Pashihopaenenwa, Moses okwa li a lombwela Ovaisrael a ti: “Hola Omwene Kalunga koye nomutima woye aushe nomwenyo woye aushe neenghono doye adishe.” — Deut. 6:5.

Ngeenge omhumbwe yetu yopamhepo oya wanifwa po monghedi ya yuka, ohole yetu yokuhola Jehova otai kulu notu na omatomheno a kola okukala twa hafa. Jesus okwa ti: “Ovanelao ovovo ve shii omhumbwe yavo yopamhepo, osheshi ouhamba weulu wavo.” (Mat. 5:3, yelekanifa no-NW.) Embo Man Does Not Stand Alone, la shangwa ku-A.

Osho osha ningilwa potembeli yedina Parthenon, oyo ya li ya yapulilwa Athena, oshikalungakainhu osho kwa li kwa itavelwa kutya osho sha li hashi amene Atena shonale. Diladila nee ngeno opo wa li eshi Paulus ta popi kombinga ‘yaKalunga ou a shita ounyuni noinima aishe i li mo,’ naashi ta yelifa kutya “Ye [iha] kala meetembeli da tungwa nomake.” Omuyapostoli okwa weda ko kutya Kalunga “okwa ninga oiwana aishe yovanhu, opo i kale kombada yedu alishe, ndele okwe i yukifila nale omafimbo ayo neengaba dokukala kwayo, opo va kale nokukonga Kalunga, va tale, [ngeenge] tava dulu okupamhadala fiyo okuye, noku mu mona, nande Oye ina kala kokule nafye nande oumwe.” (Oil. 17:24-27) Osha yela kutya ovanhu otava dulu okukala ve na ekwatafano liwa naKalunga.

Oshipango shinene noshotete osho tuu eshi.” — Mat. 22:34-38.

7. Osha hala okutya shike okukala tu hole Kalunga (a) ‘nomutima wetu aushe’? (b) ‘nomwenyo wetu aushe’? (c) ‘neendunge detu adishe’?

⁸ Ngeenge otu hole Kalunga nomutima aushe, nomwenyo aushe nosho yo nomadiladilo etu aeshe, ohatu ka kala hatu konakona Eendjovo daye noukeka, hatu ka longa nomutima aushe metwokumwe nehalo laye nohatu ka udifa nouladi onghundana iwa yOuhamba. (Mat. 24:14; Rom. 12:1, 2) Ohole yashili yokuhola Jehova otai ke tu  ehenifa popepi elela naye. (Jak. 4:8) Oshoshili kutya itatu mane okuvala omatomheno aeshe oo tu na okukala tu hole Kalunga. Ndele natu ka kundafaneni ashike manini omuo.

9. Omolwashike u hole Jehova oo e li Omushiti nOmufilishisho wetu?

⁹ Jehova oye Omushiti nOmufilishisho wetu. Paulus okwa ti: “Muye tu li mo tu nomwenyo ndee hatu linyengaanyenga.” (Oil. 17:28) Jehova okwe tu pa eduumbo liwa opo tu kale mo.

Nomolwaasho Paulus a li a lombwela ovalongeli voikalunga vomuListra kutya ‘Kalunga omunamwenyo ina kala ine liholola, osheshi okwe mu monifila ouwa, eshi e mu lokifila odula meulu nokwe mu pa omafimbo oshishipo nokwa yadifa omitima deni oipalwifa nehafo.’ (Oil. 14:15-17) Mbela osho kashi fi etomheno lokukala tu hole Omushiti wetu munenene nOmufilishisho omunahole?— Omuud. 12:1.

10. Otu na okulinyenga ngahelipi kelongekido olo Kalunga a ninga po lokuxulifa po oulunde nefyo?

¹⁰ Kalunga okwe shi ninga tashi shiiva opo oulunde nefyo oyo twa fyuulula kuAdam i xulifwe po. (Rom. 5:12) Osha yela kutya “Kalunga okwe tu hololela ohole yaye oku tu hola, Kristus eshi e tu fila fimbo twa li natango ovalunde.” (Rom. 5:8) Nopehe na omalimbililo, omitima detu otadi xunga ohole yokuhola Jehova molwaashi okwe shi ninga tashi shiiva opo tu diminwe po omatimba etu ngeenge otwe livele ombedi notu na eitavelo mekuliloyambo laJesus. — Joh. 3:16.

11, 12. Omeenghedi dilipi Jehova e tu pa eteelelo?

Ovavaekwa ovo va kanyatela ‘oudiinini wavo fiyo okefyo, otava ka pewa oshishani shomwenyo.’ (Eh. 2:10) Ovadiinini ovo ve na eteelelo loku ka kala kombada yedu otava ka hafela omanangeko noupuna aalushe meduparadisa olo la udanekwa. (Luk. 23:43) Osho otu shi uditile ngahelipi? Mbela inatu hafa neenghono, tu udite ombili notu hole Kalunga oo ha yandje “keshe oshipewa shiwa, nokeshe oshali sha wanenena”? — Jak. 1:17.

¹² Kalunga okwe tu pa eteelelo lenyumuko tali hekeleke. (Oil. 24:15) Oshoshili kutya ohatu nyematekwa kefyo lomuholike wetu, ashike omolweteelelo lenyumuko, ‘iha tu va nyikile oluhodi twa fa tuhe neteelelo.’ (1 Tes. 4:13) Omolwohole yaye, Jehova Kalunga okwa djuulukwa okunyumuna ovafi, naunene tuu ovadiinini vaye ngaashi omuyuki Job. (Job 14:15) Diladila ashike kehafo apa tali ka kala li fike, eshi hatu ka hambelela oonakufya ovo tava nyumunwa nokukala vali nomwenyo kombada yedu nokuhangana nafye. Omitima detu itadi xunga tuu ohole yokuhola Tate yetu womeulu oo e tu pa eteelelo lenyumuko likumwifi!

¹³ Jehova oku na ko nasha nafye shili. (Lesha Epsalme 34:7, 19, 20; 1 Petrus 5:6, 7.) Molwaashi otu shi shii kutya Kalunga ketu omunahole okwe lilongekida alushe okukwafela ovo ovadiinini kuye, ohatu kala tu udite twa amenwa eshi tu li ‘eedi doufita waye.’ (Eps. 79:13) Shikwao vali, ohole yaKalunga yoku tu hola otai ke limonikila mwaasho ta ka wanifa po omolwetu okupitila mOuhamba wopaMesias. Konima eshi Ohamba yaye ihoololwa, Jesus Kristus, ya xulifa po oukolokoshi nomafininiko kombada yedu, ovanhu ovaduliki otava ka nangekwa noupuna va kale nombili nehepuluko. (Eps. 72:7, 12-14, 16) Mbela ito dimine kutya omaudaneko aeshe oo otae tu pe omatomheno okukala tu hole Kalunga ketu omufilishisho nomutima wetu aushe, omwenyo wetu aushe, eenghono detu adishe nosho yo omadiladilo etu aeshe? — Luk. 10:27.

Kakele kaasho, ohatu dulu okupopya tu na eitavelo notwa tomhwa molwaashi ohatu udifa onghundana iwa ya kanghamena kEendjovo daKalunga kashili, oo omaudaneko aye oo tae tu pe eteelelo haa wanifwa po alushe.

(Jes. 49:13; Mat. 15:32) Okukonakona Ombibeli otaku dulu oku tu kwafela tu kale tu shii kutya Jehova oku tu hole noku na ko nasha nafye, nokungaho ohatu ka kala tu mu hole nohole yomoule.

16. Ongahelipi okwiilikana pandjikilile taku tu kwafele tu kale tu hole Jehova nohole yomoule?

¹⁶ Kala ho ilikana kuKalunga pandjikilile. Omailikano ohae tu nanene popepi elela ‘nOmuudi womailikano.’ (Eps. 65:3) Ngeenge otwa mono kutya Kalunga oha nyamukula omailikano etu, ohatu ka kala tu mu hole neenghono. Pashihopaenenwa, otashi dulika twa didilika kutya iha efa tu yelekwe nomayeleko e dule eenghono detu. (1 Kor. 10:13) Ngeenge otu na oshisho shonhumba, ndele hatu indile ekwafo kuJehova, ohatu ka mona ‘ombili yaKalunga’ oyo itai dulu okuyelekwa nasha.

(Neh. 2:1-6) Eshi hatu “diinineni mokwiilikana,” nokukala tu shii kutya Jehova oha nyamukula omailikano etu, ohole yetu yoku mu  hola otai ka kula nohatu ka kala tu na elineekelo kutya ote ke tu kwafela tu ungaunge nomayeleko eitavelo monakwiiwa. — Rom. 12:12.

(Deut. 31:12) Ngeenge otu hole shili Kalunga itatu ka kala tu wete okudulika kuye ku li omutengi. (Lesha 1 Johannes 5:3) Onghee hano, inatu efa nande osha shi tu ningife tu kale twa tala ko okukala pokwoongala ku li oshinima shanafangwa. Inatu hala nandenande osha shi tu kanifife ohole yetu yopehovelo yokuhola Jehova. — Eh. 2:4.

Okudulika kwaavo tava kwatele komesho mokati ketu, otaku ulike kutya otwa pandula shi fike peni “eeshali di li ovanhu,” notashi ka ulika yo kutya otu hole Kalunga naKristus oo e li Omutwe weongalo. — Ef. 4:8 yelekanifa no-NW; 5:23; Heb. 13:17.
