Amwene lihina lyalinene haze hapwile tunyama vamajilo nalizezumukila hamavu, kaha mwilu mwafumine lizu ngwalyo: “Ove Petulu, katuka, jiha ulyenga.” Petulu akanyine mapapa katatu. Kaha nawa mapapa katatu vamuhuhumwine ngwavo, “vyuma natomesa lyehi Kalunga ove kanda uvivuluka cheka ngwove vinapihiko.” Omu Petulu ahindukile, alizakaminyine chikuma havyuma vamulwezele. Nakushimbula chiku, vaze malunga atumine Kolonelyu vahetele kuzuvo yaPetulu. Petulu etavililile vyuma yamulwezele shipilitu yajila ngocho ayile hamwe navaze malunga kuzuvo yaKolonelyu.

Omu Petulu akumishile kwivwilila vyuma amulwezele Kolonelyu, ambile ngwenyi: “Ngunatachikiza jino ngwami, chamuchano vene Kalunga katala vatu kumesoko, oloze muli vaka-miyachi yosena, ou eji kumwivwanga woma nakulinganga vyuma vyakwoloka, veji kumwitavilanga kuli Kalunga.” (Vili. 10:34, 35) Chikupu vene, Petulu akunyukile namuchano wauhya uze atachikijile, ngocho nayetu nawa tunahase kulinga mwomumwe. Uno tunahase kulinga ngachilihi ngocho?

5. (a) Yehova asaka vaka-Kulishitu vosena vatachikize vyuma muka? (b) Muchima muka tunahase kupwa nawo numba tuhu tunatachikiza kanawa mumuchano?

⁶ Mbimbiliya yinahase kutukafwa tulikekese etu vavene tumone numba nge tuli namuchima wakumona vatu ulumbi nyi chiku. (Samu 119:105) Hakuwana nge chapwa chachikalu kutachikiza ngwetu tuli namuchima wakumona vakwetu ulumbi, ngocho twatela kwitavilanga vyuma navatukafwa vakwetu kachi nge vanamono ngwavo tukwechi muchima kana. (Ngale. 2:11, 14) Shikaho nge katwazangamineko, kaha tunahase kutwalaho lika kupwa namuchima kana chakuzeneka etu vavene kutachikiza. Chakutalilaho ndumbwetu umwe atumine  mukanda kuOfesi yaMutango wakusangejeka valunga napwevo vakulimbata vaze vazata mulimo washimbu yosena. Ambile ngwenyi lunga lyayou ndumbwetu wapwevo afumine kuchisemwa chize vamwenenga ulumbi. Numba tuhu ou ndumbwetu asangejekele ava valunga napwevo, oloze naikiye amwenenga ulumbi chisemwa kana. Ou ndumbwetu asangejekele chikuma uze lunga ngwenyi: “Numba tuhu chisemwa chenyi vachimwenenga ulumbi oloze vilinga vyenyi nachiyoyelo chenyi vyakafwile vatu vatachikize ngwavo [kupwa wakuchisemwa kana] kachalumbununa nge vatu vamuchisemwa kana vapwa vamajilo chipwe vakusalila chikumako.” Vyuma muka natulinangulako? Chamokomoko namilimo twatwama nayo muliuka lyaYehova, twatela kulikekesa etu vavene nakufwila kwitavila kutukafwa mangana tumone numba nge tuchili lika namuchima wakulimona ulumbi nyi chiku.

Nge mukiko, kaha mwatela kumbila tato kana. Mwatela kuzatanga navandumbwenu vakuvisemwa vyakulisezaseza mumulimo wamuwande chipwe kulilanga navo hamwe vyakulya kujizuvo jenu.

Chuma chimwe shina luheto.

Nge katwazangamineko, tunahase kuputuka kulikata kaha navandumbwetu vaze vatwama naluheto nakuhunga vaze vakuhutwa. Mwomwo ika kulinga chuma kana chapwila chaponde?

10. Ukalu muka wapwile muvikungulwilo vyamulikulukaji lyamyaka lyakulivanga?

¹⁰ Nge natutalanga vandumbwetu kumeso mwomwo yaluheto chipwe kuhutwa chavo, kaha tunahase kuneha vihandwa muchikungulwilo. Kambaji Yakova ambile ngwenyi ukalu kanou wanehelenga vihandwa muvikungulwilo vyamulikulukaji lyamyaka lyakulivanga. (Tangenu WaYakova 2:1-4.) Shikaho twatela kukilikita nangolo kuchina vyuma kana navisoloka namuchikungulwilo chetu. Jino chuma muka nachitukafwa tuhonese muchima wakutalanga vatu kumeso?

11. Uno kupwa nausoko naYehova chapendamina havyuma atwama navyo mutu tahi? Lumbununenu.

¹¹ Twatela kumona vandumbwetu nganomu avamona Yehova. Yehova keshi kwivwila mutu uselewa mwomwo yaluheto chipwe uhutu wenyiko. Kaha nawa usoko wetu naIkiye kawapendamina hakuvula chipwe kukeha chavyuma twatwama navyoko. Numba tuhu Yesu ambile ngwenyi, “nachikapwa chachikalu kuli muka-luheto kwingila muWangana wamelu,” oloze kambile  ngwenyi vaka-luheto kaveshi kukengilamoko. (Mateu 19:23) Halwola lukwavo nawa ambile ngwenyi: “Mwawahilila enu vaka-kuhutwa, mwomwo Wangana waKalunga unapu wayenu.” (Luka 6:20) Chipwe ngocho, echi kacheshi nakulumbununa ngwavo vaka-kuhutwa vapwile vakukisula nakwivwilila chikuma kumujimbu ambulwilenga Yesuko. Vaka-kuhutwa vavavulu kavetavilile vyuma anangwilenga Yesuko. Shikaho, katwatela kushinganyeka ngwetu mutu nahase kupwa nausoko wamwaza naYehova mwomwo yavyuma atwama navyoko.

Visoneka vyeji kunangulanga vaka-luheto mangana vazenekenga “kujika lutalililo lwavo haluheto lwakuzeneka kwilila, oloze shina hali Kalunga” kaha. (Tangenu WaChimoteu 1, 6:17-19.) Mbimbiliya nawa yahuhumuna vatu jaKalunga vosena vihutu navapichi vazenekenga kuzanga jimbongo. (Chimo. 1, 6:9, 10) Shikaho nge natumonanga vandumbwetu nganomu avamona Yehova, kaha katweshi kuvatalanga kumeso kweseka nauhutu chipwe luheto lwavoko. Kuli chuma chikwavo chize cheji kulingisanga vatu vamone vakwavo ulumbi. Chuma kana shina myaka yakusemuka ali nayo mutu.

13. Visoneka vyahanjika ika hachihande chakuvumbika vakulwane?

(Chimo. 1, 5:1, 2) Numba tuhu Chimoteu apwile nakutwaminyina chikungulwilo, oloze atelelele kuvumbikanga vakulwane vapwile muchikungulwilo nakuvatetela.

14. Lwola muka lwapwa lwakutamo kuhuhumuna mutu uze natuzomboka mumyaka yakusemuka?

¹⁴ Uno kuvumbika vakulwane chikwechi noho chatela kukumina tahi? Chakutalilaho, kutala twatela kwivwa woma kuhuhumuna mukulwane nge navulumuna mulonga washili kuli Yehova tahi? Yehova katala vatu kumesoko, kaha nawa keshi kuliula milonga yamutu mwomwo yaukulwane wenyiko. Hali Isaya 65:20 vasonekaho ngwavo: “Muka-shili navakamwangula numba tuhu ali namyaka 100.” Chishina kana chalifwana navyuma vamwenesele Ezekele muchakumwenesa. (Ezeke. 9:5-7) Shikaho twatela chatete kufwila kuvumbikanga Yehova Kalunga uze Napungako Kufuma Kushikulu. (Ndanye. 7:9, 10, 13, 14) Nge natulinganga ngocho kaha katweshi kwivwa woma kuhuhumuna mutu uze navulumuna mulonga washiliko, numba tuhu mutu kana natuzomboka mumyaka yakusemuka.—Ngale. 6:1.

15. Chishina muka natulinangula kuli kaposetolo Paulu hachihande chakuvumbika vandumbwetu vavakweze?

Oloze pwako uwakutalilaho kuli vaka-kushishika, mukuhanjika, namutwamiso, namuzangi, namulufwelelo, namukutoma.” (Chimo. 1, 4:12) Omu Paulu asonekele ou mukanda, pamo Chimoteu apwile namyaka 30 chipwe kuzombokaho. Chipwe ngocho, Paulu amuhanyine mulimo waunene wakutwaminyina chikungulwilo. Numba tuhu apwile mukweze, oloze vandumbwenyi vatelelele kumuvumbika. Shikaho katwatela kulumbilisanga vandumbwetu vavakwezeko.  Twatela kwanuka ngwetu naYesu azachile mulimo wakwambulula omu apwile namyaka 30 nakuzombokaho.

¹⁶ Muvisemwa vimwe vatu veji kulumbilisanga vakweze. Nge mukiko chapwa nakungalila yenu, kaha tulama vanahase kupwa mucheseko chakuhona kusangejeka vakweze mangana vapwenga vaka-kuzachila chipwe tulama muchikungulwilo mwomwo yakushinganyeka ngwavo vachili vanyike. Tulama vatela kwanuka ngwavo Visoneka kavyavuluka myaka atela kupwa nayo mutu numba vamutongoleko. (Chimo. 1, 3:1-10, 12, 13; Chitu. 1:5-9) Nge kalama mwakaluhwisa jishimbi kweseka nachisemwa chenyi, kaha keshi nakukavangiza vyuma vyahanjika Visonekako. Vakweze kavatela kuvakekesa kweseka namwaya chisemwa chavoko, oloze hakutesamo vyuma vyamuMazu aKalunga.—Chimo. 2, 3:16, 17.

¹⁷ Kukavangiza chisemwa cheji kulingisanga vakweze vazeneke kuvatongola numba tuhu vanatesamo vyuma vyasakiwa. Mulifuchi limwe, muka-kuzachila umwe wakulindunuka vamuhanyine milimo yayivulu muchikungulwilo. Numba tuhu tulama vamuchikungulwilo chenyi vamwene ngwavo natesamo vyuma vyamuVisoneka mangana vamutongole kupwa kalama, oloze kavamusangejekeleko. Tulama vamwe vambile ngwavo achili kanyike ngocho keshi kuhasa kupwa kalama muchikungulwiloko. Chaluvinda, ou ndumbwetu kavamutongwele kupwa kalamako mwomwo yaunyike. Unjiho wasolola nge vishinganyeka kana vyatanda mukaye kosena. Shikaho katwatela kupendaminanga hachisemwa chipwe kuhona kutongola mutu mwomwo twamujindako. Oloze twatela kupendamina haVisoneka mangana vitutwaminyine. Echi nachisolola nge tuli nakukavangiza mazu aYesu akwamba ngwenyi litwaminenu kusopesanga mutu kweseka nasolokeso yenyi.

Kukavangiza vishina kana nachitukafwa twononokenga lushimbi lwaYesu lwakwamba ngwenyi litwaminenu kusopesanga mutu kweseka nasolokeso yenyi.—Yowa. 7:24.

¹⁹ Kalinwomu mwangana wetu Yesu Kulishitu ayule vatu vosena, kaha keshi kukasopesa vatu havyuma mwakamona nameso, chipwe kweseka nomu mwakevwa namatwitwi enyiko. Oloze mwakayulanga mwakwoloka. (Isa. 11:3, 4) Chiyulo kana nachikapwa chamwaza chikupu!
