INYIMBO: 142, 92

1-3. (a) Findo fwe baKlistu fwense twelelwe ukubikako makosa akalango? (b) Ni esa amakatasho ao abalukusambilila umulaka umbi bakwata, kabili ni fisa fyakwipusha tungepusha? (Boneni icikope icili peulu.)

BAMBONI abengi balukupyungako makosa umulimo wa kutulisha icebo iciweme ‘ku mishobo yonse, na ku bena bonse, na ku milaka yonse, na ku mikoka yonse.’ (Ukufisulula 14:6) Kani na mwebo mulukusambilila umulaka umbi? Kani ni mwe bamishonali neli mulukupyungila ukulukupengelwa abakutulisha abengi? Kani mulitatikile ukubungana mwi kelesha ilipyungisha umulaka umbi?

Pano abapyungila ukulabilwa umulaka umbi balaba ne makatasho na ambi.

3 Ukulunda pa kusambilila umulaka umbi, abapyungila ukulabilwa umulaka umbi balyelelwe ukulukulya ifyakulya fya ku mupashi ifikosele. (1 Koli. 2:10) Pano bangacita shani ifyo kani tabomfwishapo umulaka uulabilwa mwi kelesha babunganamo? Kabili nindo abafyashi belelwe ukofwelako abana babo ukukula mu fya baLesa?

IFINGONAALA BUCIBUSA BWESU NA BAYAWE

4. Findo fingonaala bucibusa bwesu na baLesa? Labileni pa cakubwenako.

5 Abafyashi bambi abalukupyungila ukulabilwa umulaka umbi balibwene ati abana babo balilekele ukutemwa bucine. Pakuti tabalukumfwishapo umulaka uwalukupyungishiwa pa kubungana, ifyebo abana baalukumfwa mu Mulenda wa Bufumu tafyalukubafikapo pa mitima. Ba Pedro, [1] abakukiile ku Australia ukufuma ku South America pamo ne cisoolo cabo, balilabile ati, “Ili tulukulabila pa fya baLesa, ifyebo filyelelwe ukutufika pa mutima.”—Luku 24:32.

Nakabili, ukubulo’kwambaala bwino mu mulaka umbi kungalengesha umuntu ukukatala ne kufilwa ukupyungila bwino baYawe. Popele, nangaba ati tulukufwaya ukupyungila baYawe mwi kelesha umu bapyungisha umulaka umbi, tulyelelwe ukulama bucibusa bwesu na baLesa.—Mat. 4:4.

BAALILAMINE BUCIBUSA BWABO NA BAYAWE

7. Kani abaBabiloni balyeseshe shani ukulengesha Danyeli ukulukwikala koti ni bo?

7 Ili Danyeli ne babyakwe babatwite mu busha ku Babiloni, baalibasambishe ‘umulaka wa baKalidaya’ ni pakuti abaBabiloni baalukufwaya ukulengesha aba abasankwa ukulukwikala koti ni bo. Nakabili, icilolo ca mfumu icapeelwe umulimo wa kubalama calibenikile amashina amu Babiloni. (Dan. 1:3-7) Ishina bamwinikile Danyeli lyalukulosha kuli lesa umukulu uwa baBabiloni, Beli.

(Dan. 9:2) Penka, na lyelyo papitile imyaka 70 ukufuma apa bamupintile ku Babiloni, alishibikilwe kwi shina lyakwe ilya ciEbeya.—Dan. 5:13.

9. Ukwelelwa ne filembelwe mu Amasamo 119, findo Amashiwi abaLesa alengeshe uwalembele ili isamo ukucita?

9 Amashiwi abaLesa alyofweleko uwalembele Amasamo 119 ukuba umupuseneko kuli bambi. Taalekelepo ukupyungila baLesa ili abaalukupyunga mu ng’anda ya mfumu baalukumupufya. (Amasa. 119:23, 61) Nangabe’fyo, aalilekele amashiwi abaLesa ukumufika pa mutima.—Pendeni Amasamo 119:11, 46.

(Efesa 5:15, 16) Pano, tatufwayapo lukoso ukupenda ifyebo ifingi neli ukwanshika lukoso ifyakwasukapo pa kubungana. Sombi ici tufwaisha makosa ca kweba ati Amashiwi abaLesa alukutufika pa mitima ne kukosha ukucetekela kwesu.

11 Pa kucite’fyo, tulyelelwe ukulukulanguluka na pali fyefyo bambi bapengela ili tulukulisambisha ne kukosha bucibusa bwesu na baYawe. (Filip. 1:9, 10) Tulyelelwe ukulukwanuka ati kani tulukwanshika ifya kutulisha, ukubungana, neli ilyashi, cipale ifyebo tunganshika tekuti tubonepo ifi fingatofwako fwe bene. Ku cakubwenako, nangaba ati umwipikishi alomfwapo pa fyakulya epika ili tangabapeela abantu, tekuti apitilishepo ukuba umulabi kuli twenko’tu tufyakulya. Pano, kani alukufwaya ukulukuli umulabi, alyelelwe ukulya ifyakulya ifiweme. Efi cili na kuli fwebo. Pakweba ati tulukuli ifibusa fya baLesa, tulyelelwe ukulukulya ifyakulya fya ku mupashi ifiweme ifya kutofwako fwebo.

12, 13. Nindo abapyungila ukulabilwa umulaka umbi babwenene ati ukulukulisambisha lyonse mu mulaka wa kwabo kucindeme?

12 Abengi abalukupyungila ukulabilwa umulaka umbi balisangile ati ukulisambisha Baibolo lyonse mu ‘mulaka bafyalilwemo’ kucindeme.

Pakuti akalango kanji kalatontomeka makosa pa mulaka, ifyebo nsambilila tafimfikapo pa mutima. E mulandu mpatwilako impindi ya kulisambisha Baibolo ne mabuuku ambi mu mulaka wa kwesu.”

OFWENIKO ABANA BENU UKUKULA MU FYA BALESA

14. Findo abafyashi belelwe ukubikako akalango, kabili nindo?

14 Abafyashi abaKlistu balyelelwe ukupyungisha pakweba’ti Amashiwi abaLesa afike abana babo pa mitima. Panuma ili ba Serge ne bakashi babo ba Muriel bapyungiile ku mupunda ukwalukulabilwa umulaka umbi pa myaka ukucila pali itatu, baalibwene ati umwana wabo umwalalume uwali ne myaka 17 alilekele ukulitemwesha ukupyunga imilimo ya mu kwanshika kwa baLesa. Ba Muriel balilabiile ati, “Umwana wesu talukulitemweshapo ukuya mu kutulisha ku bantu abalabila umulaka umbi, koti ni fyopele filya alukulitemwesha ukuya mu kutulisha ku bantu abalabila umulaka wakwe uwa ciFrench.” Ba Serge balibuulishishe ati, “Ili twabwene ati ifi fyalengesha umwana wesu ukuleko’kukula mu fya baLesa, twalisalulwilepo ukubwelela kwi kelesha twaliko akale.”

Ofweniko abana benu ukutemwa bucine (Boneni amapalakalafu 14 na 15)

15. (a) Findo cipale ifingalengesha abafyashi bambi ukusalululapo ukubwelela kwi kelesha ilipyungisha umulaka abana bomfwisha? (b) Ni kwisa ukufunda abafyashi bangalonda ukuli pali Ndutelonomi 6:5-7?

15 Findo cipale ifingalengesha abafyashi bambi ukusalululapo ukubwelela kwi kelesha ilipyungisha umulaka abana bomfwisha? Ica kutanga, balyelelwe ukubona kani bali ne mpindi ne fipengelwa pa kusambisha abana ukutemwa baYawe ili balukubasambisha ne mulaka umbi. Ica bubili, cipale bangabona ati abana babo baleka ukulitemwesha ukupyungila baLesa neli ukupyungila ukulabilwa umulaka umbi. Kani abafyashi babona ifya kube’fi mu bana babo, cipale bangasalululapo ukubwelela kwi kelesha ilipyungisha umulaka abana bomfwisha mpaka ili abana bakosa mu fya baLesa.—Pendeni Ndutelonomi 6:5-7.

16, 17. Kani bambi abafyashi balikonseshe shani ukusambisha abana babo ifya baLesa ili balukupyungila ukulabilwa umulaka umbi?

Umukulu ali myaka 13 eli umwanice ali ne myaka 9. Aba bonse balabungana kwi bumba uku bapyungisha iciLingala. Ba Charles balilabiile ati: “Twalisalulwilepo ukulukupyungisha umulaka wesu pa mapempelo acisoolo na pa kusambisha abana besu Baibolo. Pano shimbi impindi twalukucita ifyakulangilila ne fyakwangala mu ciLingala pakweba ati abana balukusambilila uyu umulaka ili tulukusangalalila pamo.”

Esheni ukwishiba umulaka balabila uku mupyungila eli ne kulukwasukapo pa kubungana (Boneni amapalakalafu 16 na 17)

17 Ba Kevin abali ne bana babili abanakashi, umo ali ne myaka 5 eli umbi ali ne myaka 8, balibwene ati abana babo tabomfwishapo ifilabilwa mu mulaka umbi pa kubungana. Popele, balisangile inshila sha kubofwelamo. Balilabiile ati: “Nebo ne bakashi banji tulasambisha abana mu mulaka wabo uwa ciFrench. Nakabili, tulisalulwilepo ukulukusangwako ku kubungana kwa mu ciFrench limo mu mwenshi, eli ne kuya ku mabungano amu ciFrench ili twabwelelamo kwesu mu kufakasha.”

Balilabiile ati: “Ukufuma lukoso ili twabwelele kwi kelesha lya ciFrench, umwana wesu alikulile mu fya baLesa ne kubatishiwa. Ino mpindi ni painiya wa mpindi shonse. Eli alukulanguluka na pa kubwelela kwi bumba ilipyungisha umulaka umbi!”

AMASHIWI ABALESA NGA AMOFWENIKO UKUKOSHA BUCIBUSA BWENU NA BAYAWE

19, 20. Tungalangisha shani ati tulitemenwe Amashiwi abaLesa?
