Tutegerize n’ekihika obwire obu ebyo bizibu byona biriba bihwireho, tutacabyijuka kandi bitarigaruka kubaho!—Shoma omuri Isaaya 65:16, 17.

³ Nitubugana ebizibu omuri obu bwire, kandi nitubasa kwija kubugana ebiri kukiraho omu biro eby’omu misho. (Mat 24:21) Ni yo nshonga tushemerire kugumizamu kukizaho kwehangana. Ahabw’enki? Ni ahabw’okuba Yesu akagamba ati: ‘Omu kwehangana ni mwo murijunira amagara ganyu.’ (Luk 21:19) Twatekateka oku abandi bari kwehanganira ebizibu nk’ebyitu, nikija kutukwasa kwehangana.

4. Ahabw’enki turi kugamba ku Yehova ari we ori kwehangana kukiza abandi bona?

⁴ Ni oha ori kwehangana kukiza abandi bona? Ni Yehova Ruhanga. Mbwenu shi eco c’okugarukamu cakutangaza? Nikibasa kuba cakutangaza, konka wakitekatekaho nokikiriza. Egi nsi eri omu mikono y’omubi, kandi eyijwiremu ebizibu. Yehova ayine amani g’okumaraho egi nsi, konka ategerize  kukikora omu biro by’omu misho. (Rom 9:22) Konka obwo bwire obu yatireho butakahikire, nagumizamu kwehangana. Reka tushwijume ebintu mwenda ebi Yehova ari kwehanganira.

5. Ni bata oku izina rya Ruhanga ryajumirwe, kandi shi nikituma wayehurira ota?

⁵ Okujumwa kw’izina ryeye. Yehova nakunda izina ryeye kandi nayenda ngu abantu bona barihe ekitinisa (Isa 42:8) Konka hahwa emyaka eri kuhika aha nkumi mukaga izina ryeye riri kujumwa. (Zab 74:10, 18, 23) Kikatandikira omu musiri gwa Edeni obu Omuregi (ekiri kumanyisa “Omubihi”) yabihire ku hine ekintu eki Ruhanga yayimire Adamu na Eva ecabire kiratume batunga okushemererwa. (Kut 3:1-5) Okuruga obwo, abantu bakaguma bari kugamba ku Yehova yabimire ekintu eki bari kwetenga. Yesu akashasha munonga ahabw’okuba izina ry’Ishe riri kujumwa. Ni yo nshonga yayegesize abegi beye kushaba ngu: ‘Tata ow’omu iguru, izina ryawe ryezibwe.’—Mat 6:9.

6. Ahabw’enki Yehova yategerize obwire buringwa ngu ayereke ku ari we ohikire kutegeka?

⁶ Abantu bingi nibahakanisa Ruhanga n’obutegeki bweye. Yehova ni we wenka ohikire kutegeka iguru n’ensi. (Kush 4:11) Konka Omuregi akagezaho kubihabiha ba marayika n’abantu ngu batekateke ku Ruhanga atahikire kutegeka. Hakaba nihetenga obwire buringwa kugira ngu abantu bemanyire ku Yehova ari we ohikire kutegeka. Ahabw’obwenge bwa Ruhanga, akikiriza ngu hahweho obwire buringwa ngu abantu barebe ku hatihe eki bari kubasa kuhikaho bari kwetegeka. (Yer 10:23) Kandi ahakuba Ruhanga ari kwehangana, abantu bona nibija kucerebera. Nibija kwerebera ku oburyo obu ari kutegekamu ari bwo burungi kandi ku Obukama bweye ari bwo oburije kuretaho obusinge n’oburinzi omu nsi.

7. Ni baha abagomire Yehova, kandi shi ni enki eki arije kubakorera?

⁷ Okugoma kwa bamwe omu bana beye. Yehova akahanga ba marayika n’abantu bahikirire. Konka bwanyima Sitaane (ekiri kumanyisa ori kurwanisa”) akagomera Yehova kandi yatuma Adamu na Eva na bo bamugomera. Abandi ba marayika n’abantu bakekwatanisa na we omuri oko kugoma. (Yud 6) Bwanyima Abisirayeli na bo, ni okugamba abantu abu Ruhanga yabire ayetoranire, bakamugomera, batandika kuramya ba ruhanga b’ebishuba. (Isa 63:8, 10) Yehova akahurira bamurebize. Konka nabwe, akehangana kandi nayija kuguma ayehanganire kuhisya aha bwire obu arimariraho abo bagomi bona. Eco nikija kutuma Yehova n’abahereza beye bashemererwa ahakuba nibija kuba batacashuba kwehanganira ebizibu by’omuri egi nsi mbi!

8-9. Ni biha bishuba ebi abantu bari kugamba ahari Yehova, kandi shi ni enki eki tushemerire kukora twabihurira?

⁸ Ebishuba by’Omuregi. Sitaane akahakanisa aha kwikiriza kwa Yobu omuhereza wa Yehova, ari kugamba ku abahereza ba Yehova bona bari kumuramya ahabw’ebi ari kubaha. (Yob 1:8-11; 2:3-5) Omuregi akagumizamu kurega abantu n’omuri obu bwire. (Kush 12:10) Nitubasa kwereka ku Sitaane ari kubiha turi kugumizamu kwehanganira ebizibu ebi turi kubugana kandi tukagumizamu kuba abesigwa ahari Yehova aha bwa rukundo eyi turi kumukunda. Nka Yobu, n’itwe nitwija kutunga emigisha ahabw’okwehangana.—Yak 5:11.

⁹ Sitaane nakoresa abebembezi b’amadini g’ekishuba omu kugamba ku Yehova  ari ensharizi kandi ku ari we ori kutubonabonesa. Abamwe nibagamba ngu abana bafa, Ruhanga ni we ori kubatwara ngu abagire ba marayika omu iguru. Eco kishuba tikiri kuhisa Ruhanga ekitinisa! Nitumanya ku Yehova ayine rukundo. Twaba turwire endwara mbi ninga shi twafisa omuntu owu turi kukunda, titushemerire kuta orubanja ahari Ruhanga. Ahobwe nitwesiga ku hine obwire obu arije kukiza abarwire kandi akazora abafire. Tushemerire kugambira abantu bona ku Yehova ari Ruhanga oyine rukundo. Nikituma yabona ec’okugarukamu ori kutura namujuma.—Enf 27:11.

10. Ni enki eki ebiri omuri Zaaburi ya 22:23, 24 biri kugamba ahari Yehova?

¹⁰ Okubonabona kw’abahereza beye. Yehova ni Ruhanga oyine rukundo. Nikimushasha yareba abahereza beye bari kubonabona ahabw’okuhiganisibwa, oburwire, n’okutahikirira. (Shoma omuri Zaaburi ya 22:23, 24.) Yehova namanya obusaasi bwitu kandi nayija kubwihaho. (Geranisa n’ebiri omu Kuruga 3:7, 8; Isaaya 63:9.) Obwire nibwija kuhika obu ‘ariragaza amarira gona aha misho [gitu], hataribaho kufa bundi, n’obu kwakuba okucura ninga okurira ninga obusaasi.’—Kush 21:4.

11. Ni enki eki Yehova asisire aha bahereza beye b’abesigwa abafire?

¹¹ Okuferwa banywani beye. Ni bata oku Yehova yayehurire ku yaferirwe abahereza beye? Nayendera kimwe kugaruka kubabona! (Yob 14:15) Tekateka oku Yehova asisire munywani weye Aburahamu. (Yak 2:23) Na Musa, owu babire nibagambana bari ‘kurebana.’ (Kur 33:11) Nambwenu tekateka oku asisire Dawudi n’abandi bahandiki ba zaaburi abayeshongwire ebyeshongoro ebiri kumuhimbisa! (Zab 104:33)  N’obu abo banywani ba Yehova bafire, tarabebirwe. (Isa 49:15) Nayijuka byona ebiri kubakwataho. Omu bindi bigambo, ‘omu misho geye bona baba abahurire.’ (Luk 20:38.) Obwire nibwija kuhika obu aribazora kandi akashuba akahurira okushaba kwabo. Waba waferirwe omuntu owu ori kukunda, nitushaba ngu ebyo bigambo bikugumye kandi bikuhumurize.

12. Ni biha bintu ebiri kushasha Yehova munonga omuri obu bwire bw’aha muheru?

¹² Okutwarizibwa kubi kw’abantu. Obugomi ku bwatandikire omuri Edeni, Yehova akamanya ku embera zabire zirije kuba mbi. Yehova nayanga ebibi, okutwarizibwa kubi n’obugomi ebiri omu nsi omuri obu bwire. Akereka ku nasaasibwa abari kushasha munonga harimu abacwekire entege, abatine kigambirwa, efuzi n’abafakazi. (Zek 7:9, 10) Yehova nashasha munonga ku ari kureba abahereza beye b’abesigwa bari kutwarizibwa kubi kandi bari kusibwa. Mwesige mutari kubanganisa ku nakunda bona abari kwehangana na we.

13. Ni biha bikorwa bibi ebi Ruhanga ari kureba omu bantu, kandi shi ni enki eki arije kubikoraho?

¹³ Abantu nibakora ebikorwa by’obushambani. Sitaane nakunda kutuma abantu abahangirwe omu kishushani ca Ruhanga bakora ebintu bibi. Yehova ku ‘yarebire obubi bw’abantu buri bwingi omu nsi’ omu bwire bwa Nowa, ‘akefuza eki yahangire omuntu omu nsi, kandi camugwisa kubi omu mutima gweye.’ (Kut 6:5, 6, 11) Mbwenu shi hati ensi ekaba ndungi? Ingaha mazima! Omuregi nashemererwa munonga yareba obushambani bw’emiringo yona bwijwire omu nsi, harimu oburi kukorwa n’abantu abari kubuganisa ebisina n’abatari kubibuganisa! (Efe 4:18, 19) Sitaane nakizaho kushemererwa yareba abahereza ba Ruhanga bacumura. Obwire obu Yehova ari kwehanganamu ku burahike aha muheru, nayija kwereka ku nayangira kimwe obushambani ari kumaraho abari kwanga kuhinduka.

14. Ni enki eki abantu bari kukorera ensi n’ebyahangirwe?

¹⁴ Okushishikara kw’ebihangirwe byeye. ‘Omuntu nayekuriza ahari mugenzi weye kumukora kubi’ kandi ategeka kubi ensi n’enyamishwa ebi Yehova yamuhire ngu areberere. (Mub 8:9; Kut 1:28) Abanyabwenge abamwe bakagamba ku ebi abantu bari kukora biri kubasa kwita ebyahangirwe by’emiringo eri kuhika ahari miliyoni emwe omu bwire buce. Twahurira bari kugamba ku ensi eri ahantu habi tikiri kututangaza! Ekiri kushemeza ni oku Yehova ari kuraganisa ku arije ‘kuhwerecereza abahwerecereza b’ensi’ kandi akahindura ensi yona paradiso.—Kush 11:18; Isa 35:1.

15-16. Ni enki ekishemerire kutuhiga kwehangana nka Yehova? Gamba ecokureberaho.

¹⁵ Tekateka aha bintu byona ebi Tata witu w’omu iguru yamazire emyaka myingi ari kwehanganira. (Reba akashanduku akari kugira ngu, “ Ebi Yehova ari kwehanganira.”) Yehova akaba nabasa kumaraho egi nsi mbi aha bwire bwona obu ari kwenda. Konka ahakuba yayehanganire, kikatutwasa munonga! Tekateka ahari eki cokureberaho. Reka tugira ngu omushija n’omukazi weye bagambirwa ku omwana wabo otakazirwe ayine endwara, ku atarije kutunga amagara marungi, kandi ku arije kufa acari muto. N’obu kirije kugumira abo bazire kurera omwana wabo, yazarwa nibamwakira bashemerirwe. Rukundo eyi bari kukunda omwana wabo netuma  bayehanganira ebizibu ebi barabugane kugira ngu bamuhe ebirungi nk’oku bari kubasa.

¹⁶ Ni co kimwe, abijukuru ba Adamu na Eva nibazarwa batahikirire. Konka, Yehova nabakunda kandi nabafaho. (1 Yoh 4:19) Kandi Yehova tari nk’omuzire owu twareba omu cokureberaho, ahakuba we nabasa kugira eki yakora. Akataho obwire obu arije kwihiraho ebizibu byona ebi abantu bari kubugana. (Mat 24:36) Mbehi rukundo yeye teshemerire kutuhiga kwehangana nka we ahu kiri kwetengesa?

17. Ni bata oku ebigambo ebyagambirwe ahari Yesu ebiri omu Baheburaayo 12:2, 3 biri kutukwasa kugumizamu kwehangana?

¹⁷ Yehova ni ecokureberaho kihikire c’okwehangana. Yesu akatoreza Ishe ari kwehangana. Obu yabire ari omu nsi, akehanganira ebigambo bibi, ekishwaro, n’obusaasi bw’aha kiti ahabw’itu. (Shoma omu Baheburaayo 12:2, 3.) Hatariho okubanganisa, okwehangana kwa Yehova kukaha Yesu amani g’okwehangana. N’itwe nikubasa kugatuha.

18. Tukuratize ebiri omuri 2 Petero 3:9, ni enki ecabireho ahakuba Yehova ari kwehangana?

¹⁸ Shoma omuri 2 Petero 3:9. Yehova namanya obwire burungi obu arije kumaraho egi nsi mbi. Okwehangana kweye kukatuma ab’omu mutwe muhango abari kubarira omuri za miliyoni babuganisibwa hamwe omu kumuramya. Okwehangana kwa Yehova kukatuma abantu bingi bazarwa, bayega kumukunda kandi bamweha. Yehova nayija kwereka ku yakozire ensharamu ndungi y’okwehangana, omu bwire obu arije kuha ebihembo abantu bingi abayehanganire kuhisya aha muheru!

19. Ni enki eki tushemerire kumaririra kukora, kandi shi ni kiha kihembo eki turije kutunga?

¹⁹ Nitutoreza Yehova turi kwehangana twine okushemererwa. N’obu Sitaane yaresireho okubonabona, Yehova naguma ari Ruhanga ori kushemererwa. (1 Tim 1:11) N’itwe nitubasa kuguma tushemerirwe, tutegerize obwire obu Yehova arihimbisizamu izina ryeye, obu ariyereka ku ari we oshemerire kutegeka, n’obu arimariraho ebizibu byona ebi turi kubugana. Ni mureke tumaririre kugumizamu kwehangana kandi twesige ku Tata witu w’omu iguru na we ari kwehangana. Ku turakikore tusyoya, ebigambo nibyija kutuhikiriraho ebiri kugira ngu: ‘Omuntu ori kugumisiriza omu kugezibwa ayine omugisha; ahakuba ku arisingura, aryahebwa ekirunga c’amagara, eki Ruhanga yaraganise abari kumukunda.’—Yak 1:12.
