Chilik chimwing, tukat kukasikesh kusanger kwetu kwa ngikadil ya Yehova kusutil ku kuyijik, mu kuyitongijokin, ni kuyimburij mu mwom wetu.

(Tang Kuseng 145:18; Isay 30:18, 19.) Tukutwish kwambamb ni Nzamb chisu chilemp ni chisu chawonsu ap kwindond yawonsu. Tukutwish kumushejin pakad kwakam, mulong twij anch kakutwishap kutwopat anch twasal mwamu. (Kus. 65:2; Jak. 1:5) Dizu dia Nzamb disambidin piur pa Yehova mu mazu mafanyidinau antu kutesh mulong wa kulejan anch usotin anch tumushejina. Chilakej, nfund a kuseng David wafunda anch “mes ma [Yehova] madi padi” etu ni “chikas [chend] cha katatuku chikat [kutulam].” (Kus. 34:15; 63:8) Muprofet Isay wa mufanikesha Yehova nich kafung, palonday anch: “Ukez kasend an a amikoku mwi nkond yend.” (Isay 40:11) Tongin bil!

Anch mukurump ukat kuyibangin antu akwau ni usotin kwipan amwinend mulong wa awiy, akadivar ni anambaz nend, kuwejaku ni ansand, akez kwikal niyawiy ni mwikadil winou.

7. Ov, mulong wak kudjal badj wa chitentam kukat kusarumunang yisu yivud mambamb, ni dilejan ik tukutwisha kutaninamu?

⁷ Tongin bil pa chilakej chinech. Mukadivar umwing wading udjit badj padingay mu avion mulong wa kuya kukumangan ku chitentam. Muntu umwing wadinga mu avion pamanay badj winou pafundinau anch “Want wa Nzamb Weza!” ndiy wamuleja mukadivar anch, “Mwaning, weza kamu​—tukez kwisambin yom yivud pa chinech.” Kupwa akumangana ku chitentam chinech, ni muntu winou wasangara nakash pa kutambul magazet metu. Yom yiney yayishikena kal antu avud pakach petu. Katat, ov, mulong wak badj wa chitentam ukat kusarumunang yisu yivud mambamb?

Ov, mutapu ik chikutwisha chinech kwikal nich usu mu chikumangen? Nambaz umwing chibol ukweta mivu 88 walonda anch: “Masip ma chirungul ni mazu makasikeshina nikata kutesh kudi amakurump pinikata kwandam mu Chot cha Want masadil chakwel niyisangera.” Nambaz mukwau ushinshamena walonda anch: “Chikutwish kumekan mudi chom chikemp, pakwez anch mukurump wangak ku chikumangan nich masip, chirumburikin yom yivud nakash kud am.”

Yehova uletin chilakej chiwamp nakash pa mulong winou. “Nzamb kadiap kulemp ni muntu mwawonsu.” (Mid. 17:27) Mutapu umwing ukutwishau amakurump kuswapal kumekan mulong wa kuyikwash antu akwau udi kwitekin chisu kurutu ni kupwa kwa  yikumangan ya win Kristu mulong wa kwisamb ni akadivar ni anambaz nau​—ansand ni amapal. Mukadivar umwing chibol walonda anch: “Anch mukurump wangipul anch udi nchik ni kupwa wiman mulong wa kutesh chakul cham, niyoviling anch winsangaredin.” Nambaz umwing wamusadila Yehova mu mivu piswimp 50 walonda anch: “Amakurump atekina chisu cha kwambamb niyamam kupwa kwa chikumangan asadining anch niyova anch nikwet usey.”

11, 12. (a) Ov, chom ik chimedina pa kwikal wakad kasolikany? (b) Mutapu ik uletinay Yehova chilakej cha kwikal wakad kasolikany?

¹¹ Kuburen kasolikany yidi ngikadil yikwau yipwitina wa Yehova. Ov, chom ik chirumburikina kwikal wakad kasolikany? Chirumburikin kwikal wakad katond, ap kulik kwikal ku mutambu umwing ap kasolikany. Kuburen kasolikany kwa kashinsh kwimedin pa yom yaad: chaku ni yisal. Ov, mulong wak yawonsu yaad yidi ya usey? Mulong anch muntu uburedin kasolikany kakutwishap kumusadil muntu ap umwing nich kasolikany. Mu mikand ya in Kristu ya Grek, kwikal ‘wakad kasolikany’ chirumburikin kand kwikal wakad ‘kwitiyij yifu’ wakad kwikal ku mutambu wa chifu chimwing ni kumuvuramen chikwau.

Awiy adinga ij anch dijuku diau, mudi in Isarel akwau, diafanyidina kutambul chikunku cha ngand chayilaminau atatukwau. (Kuch. 26:52-55) Pakwez, tatukwau, Selofekad wa mu dijuku dia Manase, wafa. Kulondulijan nich chishankur, an amakundj a Selofekad awiy afanyidina kutambul uswan, pakwez ndiy wading ching kusu ni an amband. (Kuch. 26:33) Pakad mwan ikundj mu dijuku chakwel atambula ngand, ov, ngand ya dijuku ela kuyipan kudi anamakwau ni kuyisha an amband pakad uswan?

¹⁴ An amband inay atan amushejina Moses ni kumwipul anch: “Ov, mulong wak chikudioshau dijin dia tatukwetu ku dijuku diend mulong ndiy kakwetingap kwend an amakundj?” Awiy amuleja anch: “Chawiy twinkishany uswan  pakach pa anamakwend a tatukwetu.” Ov, Moses watadika ni kulond anch, ‘Kwikil mutapu wa kujiril chijil chinech’? Bwat, ndiy “watwala mulong wau kurutu kwa [Yehova].” (Kuch. 27:2-5) Pakwez, mutapu ik wayakulay? Yehova wamuleja Moses anch: “An amband a Selofekad ayingil kwau. Ey ukez kuyinkish chibar cha uswan pakach pa anamakwau atatukwau. Kudi awiy kwawiy kuukeza kupanyin uswan wa tatukwau.” Yehova waya kulemp nakash. Ndiy walejana chom chadia chiburedina mu chijil, ni kumulej Moses anch: “Anch muntu wafa wakad kusha an amakundj, en ukez kupanany uswan wend kud mwanend mband.” (Kuch. 27:6-8; Jos. 17:1-6) Kudiosh pinipa, in Isarel awonsu amband ela kushiken mu mwikadil winou afanyidina kutambul diking.

Yehova wayisadila amband inay adinga mu mwikadil wa kuburen mwin kuyikwash, nich kalimish, mudi mwadingay ni kuyisadil in Isarel adinga mu mwikadil uwamp. (Kus. 68:5) Jinej jidi jinsangu jimwing pakach pa jinsangu jivud jidia mu Bibil jimekeshina uyakin winou ukasikeshina anch: Yehova ukat kusal yom pakad kasolikany pantaliken ni atushalapol end awonsu.​—1 Sam. 16:1-13; Mid. 10:30-35, 44-48.

Pakwez, ukutwish kuman anch chiswapelap kushinshikin yovil yetu nawamp. Chawiy lel, chom ik tukutwisha kusal chakwel twijika anch tukwetap katond? Chakin, pasotay Yesu kwijik chadingau antu ni kulond piur pend, ndiy wayipula arund nend a kashinsh anch: “Ov, antu akat kumwel Mwan a muntu anch ndiy nany?” (Mat. 16:13, 14) Ov, mulong wak ukutwishap kumwimburij Yesu? Ukutwish kuyipul arund ney amwing uukata kuchingejin chakwel akuleja anch ukwet kasolikany ap bwat. Katat anch wajingunin anch ukwet katond ka chikit, ka chisak ap ka kusot ching antu akweta nfalang, ov, chom ik ukusala? Mulembila nakash Yehova piur pa yovil yey, mwita chakwel akukwasha kutenchik mwikadil wey ni kumekesh kuburen kwey kwa kasolikany mu mutapu umwing ukash.​—Mat. 7:7; Kol. 3:10, 11.
