⁸ Lunga yoze wakulemesa mukwo-pwo, kakulweza akwo yuma yipema hakutwala kuli iye, kakumuchichimieka ni kumulweza ngwenyi kakumuzanga.

Muze apwile kanuke, Katerina te kakumwamba-mba yuma yipi kuli naye yoze te wakumutesa ni ana mapwo akwo, kuchingako ni masepa jenyi.

Kutwatambile kulisolola ngwetu tunahiane akwetu, mumu chino muchihasa kuneha chipululu mukachi ka mandumbu jetu.

Chipwe chocho, iye kapwile “mukwa kushimbika, mukwa kulikehesa mu mbunge.” (Mateu 11:28-30) Iye kapwile ni mana ni yinyingi yinji, nihindu te keshi kulisuta. Alioze, muze apwile ni kulongesa te kakuzachisa maliji ni yilweza yashi yize yapwile ni kukwata ku mbunge ya akwa-kulikehesa.

(Yoa. 6:37) Iye kapwile ni kulemesa atu eswe.

¹⁶ Midori muze apwile kanuke, kanji-kanji te kakumuvwisa sonyi kuli tato yoze hi Chela cha Yehova ko. Tato te kakumutesa ni mandumbu jenyi ni alongi ni akwo ku shikola.

Yamba ngwenyi: “Kutanga Mbimbiliya matangwa eswe, changukwashile kupwa ni sambukila ya ku mbunge ni kulivwa ngwe Yehova kakunguzanga.” Chikwo nawa, Midori yatesa yimwe ku ufulielo yize te mahasa kulinga.

Ha mashimbu jacho, yami ni mwanami yitulinyingika kanawa. Musono, Stephanie kali ni miaka 6 nawa mukehe chinji kuhiana twanuke a miaka yenyi. Chipwe chocho, nakumuzanga chinji mumu kasele tachi mba amone mwono, nawa kanakangunehena uwahililo unji ku mwono wami!” Twakuwahilila chinji ha kunyingika ngwetu, Yehova kakutuzanga chinji, chipi-chipi muze akumona tachi jize twakusa hanga tumulingile ni mbunge yeswe!

20. Yika muyihasa kukutwala hanga uwahilile mumu lia kupwa kavumbi ka Yehova?

Alioze, kakukokele kuli iye mumu katalile mu mbunge ye ni kumona ngwo, uli mukwa-kulikehesa yoze unazange kulilongesa hakutwala kuli iye.
