1. Khampa cinthoonyeraaya Isaalimu 18:46, mwene Davidi anlattanihile Yehova nisiyani?

 HIIVA ninkhala ntuninyani uneera naniphwanyaka nrikariko, pooti urukunusa makhalelweehu woohipica. Masi hi, ninaasukuru nlattu wookaviheriya ni Yehova! Mwaha uvinre, nihoopuseriya wiira Yehova khanle Nluku eekhweeli ni uyo naanikavihera ukati umpheeleehu. Yehova apankaka iyo itthwiiyo, hi ninawoona wiira “uyo khweeliini haavo!” (Nsome Isaalimu 18:46. a) Masi mwene Davidi wantikha wawe iyo, ahomwiihana Yehova “nikhikicero naka.” Uyo ahomwiihana Nluku mkumi, vano, kontha isiyani ahonlattaniha nimwala, itthu ihirina ukumi?

2. Isiyani inhaleehu wiitthuca nhina ula mwahoola?

² Ula mwahoola, ninaahala woona nlattuni Yehova neehaniyaawe mwala ni isiyani ninniitthucihaaya nno nlattaniheronno. Ni ciicammo, ninaahala woona nlattuni ninlamuliyeehu unkhuluvela Yehova ni umwiihana Nikhikiceroni nihu. Wiimaleloni, ninaahala woona mananna ootakiha makhalelo a Yehova.

KONTHA ISIYANI YEHOVA NOLATTANIHERIYAAWE NI MWALA

3. Kontha isiyani Ibiibiliya invarelaaya nteko nuulumo “mwala”? (Nwehe ilatarato yo wakaapani.)

³ Ibiibiliya inanlattaniha Yehova ni mwala wiira inikavihere ucuwela sana-saana makhalelwaawe. Ikwaha cinci, aswali a Yehova ananswalela uyova nlattu wo makhalelwaawe omaana, ayo anonhimya Yehova ukhala nikhikicero. Mbiibiliyani, ikwaha yoopacera neehaniyaawe Yehova “Mwala” ukhanle nlivuruni ya Deuteronomiyu 32:4. Ana alompaka, enre “khuuvo mwala unonlikanana Nlukweehu.” (1 Sam. 2:2) Habakuki aamwiihanne Yehova “Nikhikicero naka.” (Habak. 1:12) Namantikha o Isaalimu 73 aamwiihanne Yehova “nikhikicero nowanrimani waka.” (Isaa. 73:26) Ni hataa Yehova eecaacaka awula ayiihanaaka, uyo aheelattanihera ni mwala.  (Isai. 44:8) Vano nttwee noone makhalelo mararu a Yehova anoonihera wiira uyo khanle khampa mwala, ni ninaahala woona manannani hiiva ninlamuliyeehu unwacera Yehova khampa “nikhikicero nihu.”—Deut. 32:31.

4. Manannani Yehova khanlyaawe ntthawelelo nihu? (Isaalimu 94:22)

⁴ Yehova khanle nikhikicero nihu nootthawelela. Inaniphwanyile iphyoo yuulupale, hi naahala uphwanya nikhikicero nnikhukuni. Inanna imocaaru, naananaka marikariko ni itafaawuti muukumini wihu, Yehova pooti unikhikicera. (Nsome Isaalimu 94:22. b) Yehova naahala unikavihera ukhikicera upatthaniihu nuuyova. Uyo, naanikhuluveliha wiira khaavo marikariko anhala unooniha uwerya mpaka. Masi Yehova naakhuluveliha wiira naahala upanka-tho citthu cikhwaawe. Wahoolo, uyo naahala umalamaliha citthu cotheene cinnihela masukhuli ni cinnihuviha.—Ezek. 34:25, 26.

5. Manannani Yehova nohalaawe ukhala ntthawelelo nihu?

⁵ Mananna mamoca oophwanya nikhikicero wa Yehova, ukhanle ulompa. Nalompaka, Yehova naanivaha nnema nawe, ninkhikicera nrimeehu ni moopuwelelweehu. (Afili. 4:6, 7) Moone itthu yankhumelenle munna Artem, aatthukeliye nkhattya nlattu wowaamini wawe. Mayookohakoha mmoca ahonkohakoha ikwaha cinci, ahonhuviha ni ahomoopopihaca. Artem neera: “Khula ikwaha naamakohakoha waakihanaawe wankinyoonya. Mi akaahiya unlompa Yehova kinlepelaka nnema ni ucuwelaca. Itthu yaamananihaawe ukipanka, uyo khayaamweettenle saana. Kikaviheriyaka ni Yehova waakhala toko kiri nluwani yo muuru yuulupale.”

6. Kontha isiyani ninookhuluveleehu Yehova? (Isaiya 26:3, 4)

⁶ Yehova naakhuluvelya. Khampa cinooneehu mwaako awula mwala uhincusa nipuro niryaaya, Yehova khanhala urukunusa moopuwelelwaawe ni ri oolikaneene wiira anikavihere. Masi nihaana ninkhuluvelaka uyova ukhala wiira uyo ri khampa “Mwala unkhala mahuku otheene “ (Nsome Isaiya 26:3, 4. c) Yehova Nluku nkumi ni ri oolikaneene wiira amalihere inatiri cawe, aviriyanaka ulompa wihu ni unikavihera ukati umpheeleehu wiira nikaviheriye. Hiiva pooti wanonkhuluveleehu Yehova, kontha uyo nawaakhuluvela aswalyaawe. (2 Sam. 22:26) Uyo khanhala uliyala citthu hiiva cimpankenleehu, phimaana khanhala uhiya unitthuvela.—Mabere. 6:10; 11:6.

7. Isiyani inhala wiirannya nankhuluvelaka Yehova? (Nwehe ciicammo ilatarato.)

⁷ Hiiva ninampanka Yehova Nikhikicero nihu, nankhuluvelaka ninrimeehu wotheene. Hiiva ninaakupaleela wiira namwiiwelelaka hataa naananaka masakha, inhala ukhala itthu yomaana para hiiva. (Isai. 48:17, 18) Khula ikwaha ninoneehu mananna Yehova cinikavihenryaawe, unkhuluvela wihu unaatepa ulipa ni ninaatepa waaminnyeela wiira Yehova paahi phinhala ukhitiri unikavihera waanana masakheehu, hataa yakhalaka oorika cinene. Ikwaha cinci naananaka masakha ankhala toko khanhala umala, hiiva ninawoona wiira  nihaana ninkhuluvelaka cinene Yehova. Iyo phiinanna yeeconnyaawe munna Vladimir, uyo neera: “Ukati kivirihilyaaka kinatthukeliye nkhattya, huukati upatthannyaaka ni Yehova waatepilyaaya ulipa. Mi kiheetthuca unkhuluva cinene Yehova kontha kaari veekha, akaacuwela itthu yoohala upanka.”

8. a) Kontha isiyani nineereehu wiira Yehova khanla urukunusa ile inaapheelelaawe apinaatamu? b) Kontha isiyani ikhanlyaaya itthu yomaana ukhaliha Yehova khampa mwala para hiiva? (Isaalimu 62:6, 7)

⁸ Yehova khanla urukunusa ile inaapheelelaawe apinaatamu. Khampa mwala uhinrukunuwaaya, Yehova khanhala urukunusa makhalelwaawe ni ile inaapheelelaawe apinaatamu. (Mal. 3:6) Atamu ni Hawa unrukunuwela waya Yehova, uyo kharukunusile ile inaapheelelaawe apinaatamu. Apostolu Paulu hohimya eeraka Nluku “khampheela wiikhotta mwaaneennyaawe.” (2 Tim. 2:13) Iyo maanaaya wiira hataa ikhumelelaka isiyani, Yehova khanla urukunusa mananna cinoopuwelaawe, impheelaawe ni ikettelo cawe. Hi pooti unkhuluvela Nluku hinrukunusa moopuwelelwaawe ni ukupali wiira naahala unikavihera ukati unnikhumelelaaya masakha ni wiirannyeeha cotheene cikhuluvelihilyaawe para uhoolo.—Nsome Isaalimu 62:6, 7. d

9. Isiyani mwiitthucileenyu niitthu yaakhumelenle anuunu Tatyana?

⁹ Wuupuwela makhalelo a Yehova ni ile inaapheelelaawe apinaatamu, unaanikavihera ukhala oomaala ni ulipihaca umwaamini wihu ukati womasakha. (Isaa. 16:8) Iyo phi itthu yaawiirannyenle anuunwiihu amoca aneehaniya Tatyna. Nlattu wo waamini waya, ayo yahotthukiya wapuwani waya, masi woohirwaaniya ukhattya. Ayo aneera: “Mi kahokhala ukati mwinci veekha. Wiipaceroni iyo itthwiiyo yahokirikela venci. Kahokhala ololovaca.” Vano, ayo yahancera wuupuwela citthu Yehova cakhuluvelihilyaawe apinaatamu ni yahoona kontha isiyani yaaryaaya itthu yofayita uvilela masakha yavirihaaya. Iyo yaahakavihera ukhala oomaala ni ayo yahokhalana ikuru wiira avilele. Ayo aheera: “Woona itthu ineetthucaka ni citthu cakikhumelenle uhokikavihera wuupuwela wiira nlattu woomwaamini waka Yehova, waahokiriha ukikhumelela nnyo citthunnyo. Iyo yahokikavihera weemela ni wuupuwela mwaaneennyaaka.”

10. Manannani ninhaleehu ulipihaca nenna co unkhuluvela wihu Yehova khampa mwala para hiiva?

¹⁰ Ukati vakaani, unaahala uphiya ukati unhalaaya unikhumelela masakha oorika cinene ni ninaahala upheela ukaviheriya ni Yehova. Phimaana, ikhanle itthu yofayita ulipihaca nenna co unkhuluvela wihu ni umwaamini wihu Yehova wiira naahala unikavihera uhihiyerera unswalela uyova wookhuluvelya. Manannani ninhaleehu upanka iyo? Nimpanka iyo, nasomaka ihantisi co mbiibiliyani caaswali ookhuluvelya a Yehova okhalayi ni cowiirannya co mayamunna ni mayanuunu akaviheriye uvilela ni Yehova. Ukati unsomeenyu nnyo ihantisinnyo, muupuwele mananna Yehova caakavihenryaawe aswalyaawe. Nkumihe ukati wiira nsome nnyo cowiirannyannyo. Mwapankaka commo, nyuuva khweeliini nnaahala woona wiira Yehova khanle nikhikicero ninyu.

 NTAKIHE MAKHALELO A YEHOVA

11. Kontha isiyani nimpheeleehu utakiha makhalelo a Yehova? (Nwehe ciicammo ikwaaturu “ Mipikani mayamunna amirawo cinlamuliyaaya wiiwelela.”)

¹¹ Mpaka va, hi nihoona makhalelo a Yehova annikavihera woona kontha isiyani Yehova lattanihinnyaawe nimwala. Vano, ninaahala woona manannani ninhaleehu utakiha ayo makhalelwaayo. Napankaka yotheene inkhitiriihu wiira nintakihe Yehova, hi ninaahala waalipiha mayamunneehu. Wootakihera, Yesu ahonvaha Simão ncina Cefas (nataphuleliyaka maanaaya wiira “Peturu”). Nno ncinanno maanaaya wiira “nluku nankaani nomwala.” (Joau 1:42) Ayo manannaayo, Yesu ahokhuluvela wiira Peturu anhala waalipiha mayamunna owanlokoni. Mahumu owanlokoni anlattanihinnya “khampa ntthuuci wo mwala muulupale.” Iyo maanaaya wiira mahumu anawaalipiha mayamunna ni mayanuunu owanlokoni. (Isai. 32:2) Otheene cihu uhiya paahi mahumu, pooti wantakiheehu makhalelo a Yehova ni waalipiha mayamunna ni mayanuunu wanlokoni.—Efesu 5:1.

12. Manannani cinhaleehu ukhala ntthawelo nomayamunneehu.

¹² Nkhale ntthawelelo nomayamunna. Mayamunneehu yakhumelelaka masakha ihasara awula ikhotto, unaareera hiiva waakavihera. Masakha ankhumelela ala “mahuku ookhiceraala” anaavira yatepaka, phimaana, hiiva nihaana waakavihera. (2 Tim. 3:1) Masi, uhiya waakavihera nicitthu cinaathwa, hiiva ciicammo pooti wanaakavihereehu mayamunneehu namalihaka ni niwooniheraka nifento nimpheelaaya. Inanna yoopanka iyo, ukhanle uviriha ukati nawoopanaka mwaha umikutthaanoni awula wuulalyeerani. Hi nimpheela wiira wanlokoni nikhale nipuro mayamunna ni mayanuunu anhalaaya uphwanya nifento ni ulipihiya. Hi ninkhala ituninya yoorika , phimaana, nihaana upanka yotheene inkhitiriihu wiira ukati mayamunna anwaaya umikutthaanoni yiicoone ukhala oofentiya ni ookhikicerya.

13. Manannani mahumu anhalaaya ukhala ntthawelelo nomayamunna? (Nwehe ciicammo ilatarato.)

 ¹³ Mahumu pooti wankhalaaya nikhikicero nomayamunna ukati unvirihaaya masakha oovirikana. Ukati unaakhumelelaaya ihasara awula anwerennya, mahumu anawaakavihera wowaakuvyaceene ayo mayamunnaayo. Ayo ciicammo anaavarela nteko Ibiibiliya wiira yaavahe ikano ni yaalipihe. Mayamunna khunhala waarikela ulepela ukaviheriya ni humu noonihera unamaana, ohirikarikiha ni neekurumica wiiwelela saana mayamunna citthu cinaakhumelela awula cinwiira. Mahumu anoonihera ayo makhalelwaayo anaahala wiiriha mayamunna wiicoona ukhala oofentiya. Ayo manannaayo, khunhala waarikela mayamunna utthara malakihero o mbiibiliyani anvahaaya mahumu.—1 Atesal. 2:7, 8, 11.

14. Ninhala woonihera cani wiira nikhanle ookhuluvelya?

¹⁴ Nkhale ookhuluvelya. Hi nimpheela wiira mayamunneehu yiicoone ukaviheriya ukati unaananaaya masankiho. (Miru. 17:17) Isiyani inlamuliyeehu upanka wiira mayamunna wiira anoone ukhala ookhuluvelya? Hi pooti upanka inkhitiriihu wiira nintakihe Yehova wokhula mahuku. Wootakihera, ukati uneekurumiceehu wiirannyeeha ile ikhuluvelihileehu ni ukhala oohipica upanka itthwiiyo. (Mat. 5:37) Ciicammo, nihaana upanka ile inkhitiriihu wiira naakavihere ale ampheela ukaviheriya. Uhiya commo, ninaahala wiikurumica uvara miteko ninkhalaneehu wanlokoni nittharaka malakihero anaakheleehu.

15. Manannani mahumu ookhuluvelya ankaviheraaya wanlokoni?

¹⁵ Mahumu ookhuluvelya akhanle itthuvo yo  wanlokoni. Manannani? Ukati mayamunna uncuwelaaya wiira ahaavo mahumu ampheela ukavihera, ayo anaakhala okhikiceriya ni ciicammo anawiicoona ukhala oofentiya, yacuwelaka wiira mahumu anaapheela waakavihere ale ampheela ukaviheriya. Ni mayamunna anaahala waakhuluvela mahumu, yoonaka wiira anaavarela nteko Ibiibiliya ni ilivuru cihu uhiya moopuwelelwaaya wiira yaavahe ikano mayamunna. Uhiya commo, mayamunna anawaakhuluvela mahumu ahinhimyahimya citthu cinwiira mayamunna.

16. Kontha isiyani ikhanlyaaya itthu yofayita utthara malakihero a Yehova?

¹⁶ Ntthare malakihero a Yehova. Namwiiwelelaka Yehova ni navarelaka nteko Ibiibiliya ukati unlakeleehu upanka citthu comaana, ninaavaha ntakihero nomaana wiira atthu akhwaawe atakihe. Nasomaka Ibiibiliya ni nalipihacaka umwaamini wihu Yehova, ninawiikurumica uhihiya unswalela ni weettela ikettelo cawe. Hi khaninhala wiiwelela citthu cowoothiya cineetthucihiya cihinvaranaca niitthu Ibiibiliya ineetthucihaaya. (Efesu 4:14; Tiya. 1:6-8) Neewaka ihapari yowoothiya, hi ninaakhala oomaala kontha ninaakhuluvela citthu Yehova cikhuluvelihilyaawe. (Isaa. 112:7, 8) Ni ciicammo, ninawaakavihera ale anaanana masankiho ni anttehattehiya.—1 Atesal. 3:2, 3.

17. Manannani mahumu cinhalaaya waakavihera mayamunna ulipihaca waamini waya?

¹⁷ Mahumu ahaana ukhala ucuwela wiivaraca, akhalaneke moopuwelelo omaana, akhaleke owiithotokaniha saana ni owiiwanannya. Mahumu ciicammo, anawaakavihera akhwaawe ukhala oomaala ni ulipihaca umwaamini waya Yehova. Ayo ciicammo, anaalipihaca nloko nlattu ‘woovaresesa sana-saana nuulumo nookhuluvelya.’ (Titu 1:9; 1 Tim. 3:1-3) Nlattu woovaha ntakihero ni wiikurumica waathotola mayamunna, ayo anawaakavihera anamalalyeera owanlokoni uhihiyerera woona mikutthaano, urwaa wuulalyeerani ni usoma wo Ibiibiliya woveekha. Ukati mayamunna anaananaaya masankiho, mahumu anawuupusera mananna onkhuluvela Yehova ni wuupuwela citthu cotheene cikhuluvelihilyaawe coohoolo.

18. Kontha isiyani hiiva nimpheeleehu unttitthimiha Yehova ni uhihiyerera unswalela uyova? (Nwehe ciicammo ikwaaturu “ Inanna imoca yomphiyeerya cinene Yehova.”)

¹⁸ Wiitthuca wihu makhalelo a Yehova, hi pooti wuuluma khampa mwene Davidi cantikhilyaawe: “Uttitthimihiya Yehova, khanle nkhikicero naka.” (Isaa. 144:1) Hi nihaana unkhuluvela Yehova muukumini wihu motheene. Hataa nikhalaka owuuluvala, hi ninaakhuluvela wiira Yehova khanhala uhiya unikavihera unswalela. Ni hiiva pooti waneereehu wiira Yehova “khanle nikhikicero naka.”—Isaa. 92:14, 15.
