4. (a) Ko Yahova adati Ayuda wa munthawe ya Yesaya enze tani, ndipo adabvuma kuti agumane na mabvuto yaponi? (b) Ko wanthu wokhulupirika Yahova adawapasa chidikhiro chiponi? (Yesaya 30:18, 19)
4 Kumayambiriro kwa msolo 30, Yahova adachemera Ayuda kuti: ‘Wana alibe matu,’ ‘womwe athimizira tchimo pa tchimo.’ Iye adapitiriza kulewa kuti: ‘Iwo ni wanthu wopanduka, . . . womwe afunalini ne pang’ono kubvera malamulo ya Yahova.’ (Yes. 30:1, 9) Pakuti wanthu mwawa ambafunalini kubvera, Yesaya adaleweratu kuti Yahova adzabvume kuti iwo agumane na mabvuto. (Yes. 30:5, 17; Yer. 25:8-11) Vimwevi vidachitikadi ndawa patsogolo pake iwo adatengewa kuti akakhale akapolo ku Babulo. Podiya kuti venze teno, penze Ayuda anango wokhulupirika ndipo Yesaya adawapasa ntontholo woonesa kuti vinthu vidzawakhalire bwino kutsogolo.

Ndipo Aizirayeli mwawa adamala magole yokwana 70 ali ku ukapolo ku Babulo akanati kubvumiziwa kuti abwerere ku Yerusalemu. (Yes. 10:21; Yer. 29:10) Panthawe yomwe Aizirayeli enze ku ukapolo ku Babulo, ambalira ndawa ya mabvuto koma padandoti abwerera ku Yerusalemu adayamba kugwesa misozi ndawa yokondwa.
5. Ko lemba ya Yesaya 30:19 inkutitsimikizira chani?
5 Ntsiku zino tingalimbikisiwembo na mawu aya yakuti: ‘Shuwadi iye adzakukomere mtima akadzabva kulira kwako.’ (Yes. 30:19) Pamwapa Yesaya ankutitsimikizira kuti Yahova adzatibvesere panthawe yomwe tinkumulilira ndipo iye adzachite vinthu mwakankulumize kuti atidawire. Yesaya adalewa pomwe kuti: ‘Akandodzakubva unkulira, iye adzakudawiriretu.’ Mawu yolimbikisa mwaya yankutitsimikizira kuti Ababa wathu ni wofunisisa maninge kuthandiza wanthu womwe ankulilira thandizo. Kudziwa vimwevi kungatithandize kuti timbapirire tili wokondwa.

Onani kuti pamwapa Yahova ankutitsimikizira kuti atetekera munthu aliyese akambapemphera. Ndawa chani tinkulewa tene? Kumayambiriro kwa msolo 30 wa bukhu ya Yesaya, Yahova adaphatisa basa mawu yakuti ‘imwepo’ ndawa yakuti ambayankhula na wanthu azinji. Koma muvesi 19 iye adaphatisa basa mawu yakuti ‘iwepo’ pakufuna kuonesa kuti yankuyenda kwa munthu aliyese payekha. Yesaya adanemba kuti: ‘Iwepo udzalirelini pomwe,’ ‘iye adzakukomere mtima,’ ndipo ‘iye adzakudawire.’ Pakuti Yahova ni Baba wachikondi, akationa kuti ndise wokwinyirira atiyankhulalini mawu yakuti: “Watani kukhala wolimba ninge m’bale panango mulongo ule?” M’malo mochita vimwevi, iye aikhira nzeru munthu aliyese payekha ndipo atetekera mapemphero yake.—Sal. 116:1; Yes. 57:15.

Vinkutanthauza kuti timbapemphere kawirikawiri nkumbakhala ninge tikumupasalini mpata Yahova kuti apumule. Mawu ya Yesaya mwaya yankutikumbusa mafanizo yomwe Yesu adapereka pankhani ya pemphero yomwe yali pa Luka 11:8-10, 13. Pamwapa Yesu ankutilimbikisa kuti ‘timbalimbikire’ kupemphera na ‘kupitiriza kukumbira’ kuti tipasiwe mzimu wochena.

Ntsiku zino tiyabvambo mawu ya Yahova kumbuyo kwathu. Ko tiyabva tani? Onani kuti mawu youziriwa ya Mulungu yadanembewa m’Baibolo magole yazinji kumbuyo ndipo isepano kwenze kulibe. Ndipomwapa tikakhala kuti tinkuwerenga Baibolo, vikhala ninge kuti tinkubva mawu ya Mulungu kumbuyo kwathu.—Yes. 51:4.

Molingana na vimwevi, m’paradaiso wathu wauzimu muli abale na alongo osiyanasiyana womwe alinganiziwa pomwe na miti.
