Kianak Lamet​—Panon Itan a Nagawa?

AGLABAT imbaga nen Jesus ed si Nicodemo so nipaakar ed kaimportantian, panlapuan, tan gagala na kianak lamet, noag pati say pakagawa na satan. Inkuan nen Jesus: “No ag nianak ed danum tan espiritu so sakey a too, ag makaloob ed Panariay Dios.” (Juan 3:5, Maung a Balita) Kanian, nianak lamet so sakey a too panamegley na danum tan espiritu. Balet antoy natutukoy dia a “danum tan espiritu”?

“Danum tan Espiritu”​—Anto Iratan?

Lapud kabkabisado nen Nicodemo so relihyon da ran Judio, seguradon sikatoy pamilyar ed impangusar na Hebreon Kasulatan (kabkabat met ed tawag a Daan a Sipan) ed terminon “espiritu na Dios”​—say aktibon puersa na Dios ya ontutulong ed totoo pian makagawa na makapadinayew iran bengatla. (Genesis 41:38; Exodo 31:3; 1 Samuel 10:6) Kanian sanen sinalambit nen Jesus so salitan “espiritu,” atalosan nen Nicodemo a say tutukoyen to et say masanton espiritu odino aktibon puersa na Dios.

Anto balet imay danum a tinukoy nen Jesus ey? No basaen tayo iramay akarekord ya agawgawa antis tan kayari na impantongtong di Jesus tan Nicodemo, ipapanengneng na saraya a si Juan a Managbautismo tan saray babangatan nen Jesus et nambabautismo ed danum. (Juan 1:19, 31; 3:22; 4:1-3) Tan pamilyar iray taga Jerusalem ed saya. Kanian, sanen sinalambit nen Jesus so nipaakar ed danum, seguradon atebek nen Nicodemo a say tutukoyen nen Jesus et aliwan basta danum, noagta say bautismo ed danum. *

Abautismoan ed Masanton Espiritu

No say tutukoyen na ‘kianak ed danum’ et pakabautismoan ed danum, antoy kabaliksan na ‘kianak ed espiritu’? Sakbay nin agawa imay impitongtong nen Nicodemo ed si Jesus, impulong nen Juan a Managbautismo ya aliwa labat lan danum noagta pati espiritu so walaay betang ed bautismo. Oniay inkuan to: “Siak binyagan ta kayo ed danum. Sikato [si Jesus] balet binyagan to kayo naani na espiritu santo.” (Marcos 1:7, 8) Oniay impaneskribe nen Marcos, sakey a managsulat na Ebanghelyo, ed sankaunaan a bautismo ed danum tan espiritu: “Agawa ed saraman ya agew, a si Jesus sinmabi a nanlapu ed Nazaret na Galilea, et bininyagan nen Juan ed Jordan. Et tampol a sanen ontatatdang a nanlapu  ed danum, anengneng to so saray katawenan a linmukas, tan say espiritu a singa malapati ya onleleksab ed sikato.” (Marcos 1:9, 10) Sanen impalseb si Jesus ed Jordan, sikatoy binautismoan ed danum. Tan diad samay bektan akaawat na espiritu manlapud tawen, sikatoy abautismoan ed masanton espiritu.

Manga taloran taon kayari na impakabautismoan nen Jesus, oniay impaseguro to ed saray babangatan to: “Nabinyagan kayo na espiritu santo ed aliwa lan dakel ya agew a manlapu ed natan.” (Gawa 1:5) Kapigan itan agawa?

Nen Pentecostes 33 C.E., nantitipon ed sakey ya abung ed Jerusalem so manga 120 a babangatan nen Jesus. “Kapagdakan sinmabi a nanlapu ed tawen so sakey a tanol a singa sakey a dagem a mabiskeg a sinmabi a maksil, et pinano to so sankaabungan a kawalaan dan akayurong. Et pinmatnag ed sikara so diladila a singa apoy a niyutob. . . . Et sikaray napno ya amin na espiritu santo.” (Gawa 2:1-4) Diad saman met lanlamang ya agew, pinaseseg iray walad Jerusalem a manpabautismo ed danum. Oniay inkuan nen apostol Pedro ed saray totoo: “Magbabawi kayo, tan manbinyag so sinansakey ed sikayo ed ngaran nen Jesu-Kristo, pian pakapaandian na kasalanan yo, et awaten yo naani langkap na espiritu santo.” Antoy reaksion da? “Saraman sirin so angawat na salita to, nambinyag ira; et niarum ed saray binangatan ed saman ya agew, so ngalngalin talon libo a kamarerwa.”​—Gawa 2:38, 41.

Nankaduan Proseso

Antoy ipapaamta na sarayan bautismo nipaakar ed kianak lamet? Ipapanengneng na saraya a nagawa so kianak lamet panamegley na nankaduan proseso. Imanoen a nampabautismo nin unona si Jesus ed danum, insan akaawat na masanton espiritu. Ontan met, abautismoan ni’d danum iray inmuunan babangatan (arum et binautismoan nen Juan a Managbautismo), insan ira akaawat na masanton espiritu. (Juan 1:26-36) Mipadpara, abautismoan nin unona ed danum iray 3,000 a balon babangatan, insan ira akaawat na masanton espiritu.

No ontan so agawa nen Pentecostes 33 C.E., panon met sirin so pakagawa na kianak lamet ed sayan panaon? Mipara itan ed samay agawa ed saray apostol nen Jesus tan ed inmuunan babangatan. Unona, kaukolan a say sakey et magbabawi ed saray kasalanan to, umanen toy mauges a kabibilay to, igana toy bilay to ed pandayew tan panlingkor ed si Jehova, tan ipaamta to itan a desisyon to ed publiko panamegley na bautismo ed danum. Insan, no sikatoy pilien na Dios pian manuley ed Panarian To, sikatoy makaawat na masanton espiritu. Say unonan parte na sayan nankaduan proseso (bautismo ed danum) et desisyon na indibidual; say komaduan parte (bautismo ed espiritu) et akadepende ed Dios. Sano nagawa ed sakey a too iyan duaran bautismo, insan nibagan sikatoy nianak lamet.

Balet, akin a diad samay impitongtong nen Jesus ed si Nicodemo et inusar toy terminon “nianak”? Pian nidanet a saramay abautismoan ed danum tan espiritu et makaeksperiensya na baleg a pananguman. Ipaliwawa ed onsublay ya artikulo itan ya aspekto na kianak lamet.
