Ov, Mulong Wak Atuman A Yehova Kakatap Kusadil Dikurus Mu Difukwil Diau?

Atuman a Yehova itiyijin nich kashinsh anch rufu ra Yesu Kristu rawiy raleta difut diayanzurila chis cha mwom wa chikupu antu akumwitiyija. (Mateu 20:28; Yohan 3:16) Pakwez, kitiyijiningap anch Yesu wafila pa dikurus, mudi mukatau kumulejan pa yipich ya yishankur. Itiyijining anch Yesu wafila pa mutond umwing wonikina kadiap pa dikurus.

Kusadil kwa dikurus kwasambisha pakur mu Mésopotamie, piswimp mivu yitot yaad kurutu kwa Kristu. Makurus amafatula pa mayal ma mu Scandinavie pa Chirung cha Bronze, yitot ya mivu kurutu Yesu avadik. Antu inay akad kwikal in Kristu adinga ni kusadil dikurus “mudi chijingidij cha yip . . . diletina diking, diletina kuyuk kuwamp,” mwamu mwafunday Sven Tito Achen, mwin kwilej jinsangu ja pasak wa mu Danmark ni nsil wa yijingidij, mu buku Symbols Around Us. Chidiap chishimokishina anch New Catholic Encyclopedia witiyijin anch: “Dikurus dimeken mu chirung cha piswimp ni Ukristu ni mu yishankur yakadi kwikal ya Ukristu, mudikweta kurumburik kujim nakash.” Ov, mulong wak lel, maegliz matonda dikurus mudi chijingidij chau chitumbila?

W. E. Vine, mwin kwilej Bibil wa mu Grande-Bretagne ulimishinau nakash waleta uman unou: “Kushik pakach pa chitot cha kasatu A.D. . . . ayitiyija apagan mu maegliz . . . ni ayitiyija alama yijiken ni yijingidij yau ya upagan. Chawiy Tau ap anch T, . . . nich kachikunku kachikakena kashirishinauku mwishin pakemp, amwitiyija.”—Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words.

Vine weza kuwejin kand anch ni dijin din “dikurus” ni chisal cha “kupampin pa dikurus” yisambidin “mutond ap anch dinguj . . . ushalijadin kulemp nich mitond yaad yichikakena ya dikurus dia amakurump a relijon.” Kukwatijan nich mazu minam, buku “Companion Bible” wa universite [shikol yijim] ya Oxford ulondil anch: “Ukinakin udi . . . anch Nsalejetu amujipina pa mutond wonikina, kichadingap pa yikunku yaad ya mitond yichikakena bwat.” Choviken patok, maegliz mitiyija chishankur chakad kwikal cha Bibil.

Mwin kwilej jinsangu ja pasak Achen, ujimbwilau kwiur oku, ulondil anch: “Chitiyikinap anch mu yitot yaad kusu kwinyim kwa rufu ra Yesu anch in Kristu adinga ni kusadil dikurus.” Kudi in Kristu akusambish, ndiy uwejidin anch, dikurus “diadinga kamu rufu ni chitil, mudi mumekena kumukatul muntu mutu ap kumwosh nich kasu kanzembu.”

Chijim nakash, chikalap chom chasadilau mulong wa kumumesh mar ni kumujip Yesu, kichidiap chipich chau ap chijingidij chau chifanyidina kwikal chom cha kwifukwil ap anch in Kristu achifukwila. Bibil ulondil anch: “Chinany kwifukwil akish.” (1 Korint 10:14) Yesu amwinend waleta chijiken chakin cha in kwilej end akin. Ndiy walonda anch: “Ku chinech kwawiy kukwijikinau antu awonsu anch en udiany in kwilej amam anch wakatijanany.”—Yohan 13:35.

Mu milong yawonsu ya kwifukwil, Atuman a Yehova, mudi mwadingau in Kristu a mu chitot cha kusambish, asadiling usu wa kulondul ching yilondila Bibil pa ndond pa kulondul chishankur. (Rome 3:4; Kolosay 2:8) Mulong wa chinech, chawiy chilikiningau kwifukwil dikurus.
