3. Ov, chom ik chirumburikina dizu dia Hebereu diakurumunau anch “kumekesh ranaken” ap “kwov riy”?

³ Mu Bibil, riy ni ranaken yiyiling pamwing. Mu Hebereu ni mu Grek mazu minam mamekeshining chitongijok cha kwov riy nakash. Chilakej, dizu dia Hebereu ‘raham,’ dirumburikin yisu yivud “kumekesh ranaken” ap “kwov riy.” Buku umwing ulejen anch dizu raham “dirumburikin kwikal riy nakash mudi ritukata kwikal nich pamenau mar antu tukatishina, paziyinau ap paswiridinau  anch tuyikwasha.” Dizu dined dia Hebereu disadidinay Yehova piur pa amwinend, dirumburikin “divum” ni akat kudisadin mulong wa kwilikej “riy ra maku.” *—Kubudik 33:19; Jeremiy 33:26.

4, 5. Ov, mutapu ik usadidinay Bibil yovil ya maku kudi mwanend mulong wa kutulej piur pa riy ra Yehova?

⁴ Bibil ukat kusadinang yovil ya maku kudi mwanend mulong wa kutulej piur pa kurumburik kwa riy ra Yehova. Mu Isay 49:15, alejen anch: “Ov, komb mband ukutwish kumuvuramen mwanend, ni kulik kumukat mwan uvadilay? Ap anch mband wamuvuramena mwanend, am kinikutwishap kukuvuramenany en.” Chilakej chinech chikash chilejen mutapu ukatay Yehova kuyovilang antwend riy nakash. Ov, mulong wak?

⁵ Chikasiken kutong anch maku ukutwish kuvuramen kwamwish ni kumulam mwanend. Chawiy lel, padiay mwan mukemp; mwan winou uswiridin ukwash wa makwend uchuku ni muten. Chidi cha ushon, mulong mu “machuku [minam] ma kwisudiel” antu akwet “michim yichinchikina.” (2 Timote 3:1, 3) Yehova ulondin anch: “Am kinikutwishap kukuvuramenany en.” Riy rikwetingay Yehova pantaliken ni atushalapol end rikutwishap kupwa. Ripandakenamu kulemp chovil cha riy tukutwisha kutongin, riy ra maku kudi mwanend. Chishimokishinap anch muntu umwing washikena ku kulond piur pa Isay 49:15 anch: “Chidi chimekesh chimwing chikash ni chijim nakash cha rukat ra Nzamb mu Manswik Masu.”

6. Ov, mutapu ik umeningau antu avud akad kuwanyin kwikal ni riy, pakwez chom ik chitukasikeshinay Yehova?

⁶ Ov, kwikal ni riy kudi kuburen usu? Antu avud akad kuwanyin atonga mwamu. Pakwez, filozof mwin Rom  Sénèque wadingaku pa chirung cha Yesu ni wadinga pakach pa in manangu in Rom walonda anch, “riy ridi kuziy kwa manangu.” Seneque wading ukasikeshin malejan matazukau anch Stoïcisme, filozofi umwing ukasikeshina kwikal zoong pakad yovil. Seneque walonda kand anch muntu wa manangu ukutwish kuyikwash antu adia mu mar pakad kuyovil riy, mulong wa kwikal zoong pakad mulong. Chitongijok chinech cha choy chasala anch muntu ipuka kwikal ni riy ra kashinsh. Pakwez Yehova kadingap kwend mwamu! Mu Dizu diend, Yehova utukasikeshin anch “wizwil nich kuwap ni riy.” (Jakobu 5:11) Mudi mutukeza kuman, kwikal ni riy kurumburikinap kuziy bwat, pakwez udi mwikadil ukash, wa usey nakash. Shinshikinany amboku mutapu ik ukatay Yehova kurimekesh mudi nvaj wa rukat.

7, 8. Ov, mutapu ik wamanau mar in Isarel mu Idjibit wa pasak, ni chom ik chasalay Yehova?

⁷ Riy ra Yehova ramekana patok mu mutapu washakamay ni muchid wa in Isarel. Kwinsudiel kwa chitot cha mivu ya 16 K.C.C., mamiliyon ma in Isarel adinga mu uswik mu Idjibit wa pasak, mwayimeshau mar nakash. In Idjibit “Asansesha mom yau ni midimu yikash, kusamp mavu, ni kuumb matafad.” (Kubudik 1:11, 14) Mu mar mau, in Isarel asambisha kwit ukwash wa Yehova. Ov, mutapu ik wiyovay Nzamb wa riy nakash?

⁸ Yehova wova kuyip mu muchim wend. Ndiy walonda anch: “Am namen kal mar ma antwam adia mu Idjibit. Nateshil kal kudil kwau mulong wa in kuyilam au, nij mar mau.” (Kubudik 3:7) Yehova kakutwishap kuman mar ma antwend ap kutesh kudil kwau pakad kuyovil riy.  Mudi mutwamena mu Shapitre 24 wa buku winou, Yehova udi Nzamb wa ranaken. Ranaken udi ukaliweny wa kuman mar ma antu akwau, ufaniken nich riy. Pakwez, Yehova kakatap kuyovilang ching kusu riy antwend; riy riner rikat kumubachik ku kuyikwash. Isay 63:9 ulejen anch: “Mu rukat rend ni mu riy rend ndiy wayikamunina.” Ni “Chikas cha dikand,” Yehova wayikamunina in Isarel mu Idjibit. (Kuvurik Yijil 4:34) Kupwa, wayinkisha kand yakudia mu chilay ni wayandjika mwi ngand ubudishina mabuj mavud wikala ngand yau.

⁹ Riy ra Yehova rimedinap ching kusu pinap. Pashikau mwin Ngand ya Kushilamu, in Isarel asambisha kand kuman mar mulong wa yitil yasalau chisu ni chisu. Pasambishau kukarumuk ni kumutazuk Yehova. Ndiy wayipandisha chisu ni chisu. Ov, mulong wak? “Mulong [wayovila riy] ndiy wasota kuchidij antwend.”—2 Jinsangu 36:15; Ankalansambu 2:11-16.

¹⁰ Talany yom yashikena pa chirung cha Jefite. Kudiosh pasambishau in Isarel kuyisadil anzamb a makasu, Yehova wasala anch ayimesha mar kudi in Amon mu mivu 18. Kupwa, in Isarel akarumuka. Bibil utulejin anch: “Mwamu awiy adjibola akish adinga mukach mwau, chad amusadila [Yehova]. Ndiy wova ushon mulong wa mar ma in Isarel.” * (Ankalansambu 10:6-16) Pakarumukau antwend nich kashinsh, Yehova kelap kand kuyilikidil chakwel adandamena kuman mar. Chawiy lel, Nzamb wa riy wamwinkisha  Jefite usu chakwel atwisha kuyikamunin in Isarel mu makas mwa akankuny nau.—Ankalansambu 11:30-33.

11. Ov, chom ik twilejina piur pa riy, kusutil ku yom yasalay Yehova pantaliken ni in Isarel?

Chakusambish, chimekeshin anch riy rend rimedinap ching kusu piur pa kwov ushon ap runeng piur pa mar ma antu akwau bwat. Vurik bil piur pa maku usotina kumukwash mwanend mulong ukat kudil. Chilik chimwing, Yehova kakatap kujikang matu ku kudil kwa antwend. Riy rend rikash rikat kumubachikang ku kuyidiosh mu mar mau. Chikwau kand, chasalay Yehova pantaliken ni in Isarel chitulejen anch kwikal ni riy kurumburikinap kuziy, mulong ramekana kusutil ku yisal yimwing yikash pantaliken ni antwend. Ov, Yehova kakatap kuyovilang antwend awonsu riy?

12. Ov, mutapu ik Chijil chamekesha anch Yehova wading ukat kuyovil antu riy?

Mulong Yehova wading wij anch mikadil yakad kuchingejin yikutwish kusal anch muntu ikala kazwendj, ov, mutapu ik wafanyinau kushakam nau? Yehova wayiyula in Isarel anch: “Kangal wez wakasikeshany michim yen ap kumukasiken mwanamakwen makas. Piukumwinkishany, chifanyidin kumwinkish nich muchim utok. Kangal wishonany piukupanany, mulong wa chinech [Yehova] Nzamb wen ukez kukuyukishany mu midimu yen yawonsu yiukasalany nich makas men.” (Kuvurik Yijil 15:7, 10) Kupwa Yehova wayiyula kand in Isarel anch kafanyinap kwangul yawonsu djat  ni kusudiedila mwimbu wa yir yau ap kupupurol ya kwangul yau. Afanyidina kuyishil atuzwendj. (In Levi 23:22; Rut 2:2-7) Pasadilau antu awonsu chijil chinech cha kuyikwash atuzwendj adinga pakach pau, kwadingap kand muntu wela kusambish kwit ukwash wa yakudia. Ov, chinech chimekeshinap anch Yehova ukwet riy nakash?

¹³ Nlel unou kand, Nzamb wetu wa rukat ukat kutubangin nakash muntu ni muntu pakach petu. Tukutwish kwikal nich kashinsh anch umen mar metu mawonsu. Nfund a Kuseng David wafunda anch: “Mes ma [Yehova] madi padi in kutentam, ni matu mend manzurikidin ku kudil kwau. [Yehova] udi piswimp nau awiy akweta michim yinenganena, ukat kuyipandish akweta michim yitudishila.” (Kuseng 34:15, 18) Kukwatijan nich mazu minam, muntu umwing walonda anch antu avud ‘akweting michim yinenganena ni oviling kuyip mulong kawanyidinap ni adi akayitil, amen anch kakwetap kwau usey mu yawonsu yikutwishau kusal.’ Antu inay atongin pamwing ap anch Yehova udi kulemp nakash, ni amen anch kakwetap kwau usey kurutu kwend chakwel ayibangina, pakwez chidiap kwau mwamu. Mazu ma David matukasikeshin anch Yehova kakutwishap kuyilik antu “amen anch kakwetap kwau usey.” Nzamb wetu wa riy wij anch, mu yisu yiney, tuswiridin ukwash wend ni udi piswimp netu.

¹⁴ Chilakej. Maku umwing wa mu États-Unis wamutwala swa mwanend wa mivu yaad ku rupital mulong wading uyedin chikalal mukash. Kupwa kwa kumutal mwanend, mwingang wamuleja makwend anch afanyidina kumulam mwan winou uchuku wawonsu. Ov, kwisu kwalalay maku winou? Ndiy walala ku rupital piswimp ni mwanend uyedina! Mwanend ikundj wading uyedin, ni wasala  usu chakwel alala piswimp nend. Tukutwish kuchingejin kamu chilik chimwing ni Tatukwetu mukatish wa mwiur! Mulong watutanga mu chifu chend. (Disambishil 1:26) Mazu mamwing makash madia mu Kuseng 34:18 matulejen anch pitukweta “michim yinenganena” ap “michim yitudishila,” Yehova, “udi piswimp” netu mudi tatuku wa rukat—akat kutovil riy ni udi tayad kutukwash.

15. Ov, mutapu ik ukatay Yehova kutukwash muntu ni muntu?

Dizu diend, Bibil, dikwet yiyul yiwamp, ni ya usey nakash yikutwisha kuyikwash. Yehova wateka mu chikumangen amakurump awanyishina yitinau muspiritu ikasikeshina kumekesh riy rend mu kuyikwash ambay nau akaritiy. (Jakobu 5:14, 15) Mudi mwin “Kwakul kulembil,” ndiy ukat kupan “Mwiku Utumbila kudi awonsu akata kwit.” (Kuseng 65:2; Luka 11:13) Spiritu winou ukutwish kutwinkish “ukash upandakena ukash wawonsu” chakwel tutwisha kujijaman djat ni pakeza Want wa Nzamb kudiosh milong yawonsu yiletina mar. (2 Korint 4:7) Ov, mutapu ik tukutwisha kumujikitish Yehova mulong wa yom yiney yawonsu yatwinkishay? Kangal twavuramenany anch yidi yisal ya riy rikash ra Yehova.

Vurikany anch, difut dined adipana mulong wetwetu. Chawiy chatakelau kulejan kudi Zakariy, tatukwend a Yohan Mubatish anch difut dined diamekesha “muchim wa riy wa Nzamb wetu.”—Luka 1:78.

¹⁸ Ap anch Yehova wayikamunina in Isarel chisu ni chisu mu makas mwa akankuny nau, riy rend rashikena ku kwikal ni mupak. Mu chibud chau, antu inay asambisha kwifukwil akish, ni kuyandjik akish ijondila mu tempel wa Yehova! (Ezekiel 5:11; 8:17, 18) Bibil ulejen kand anch: “Pakwez awiy ading ni kuyopat ni kuyiswingish aruu a Nzamb. Ading ni kuswingish mazu ma Nzamb, ading ni kuyisip aruwend, kushik ni pisarumwinau ujim wa [Yehova] wakad kuman mutapu wa kuudutish.” (2 Jinsangu 36:16) In Isarel ashika pa chisu chelau kwiyovil kand mar, ni asarumuna kamu ujim utentamina wa Yehova. Nich chibudikin ik?

¹⁹ Yehova walika kuyovil kand riy antwend. Ndiy walonda anch: “Kwikil ranaken, kwikil riy, kwikil dilikishin yikutwisha kwinkangesh am kuyijip.” (Jeremiy 13:14) Chawiy lel, Yerusalem ni tempel wend ayishesha ni in Isarel ayitwala mu uswik mu Babilon. Chidi chom chikash mud ik pakuman mutapu wadandamenau akayitil kubwambuk ni kusal anch Nzamb alika kuyovil riy!—Madil ma Jeremiy 2:21.

Ov, Yehova ukumekesh riy rend anch wadandamen kulikidil mangand mayimp ma katat ni mar mend mawonsu? Pakeza riy ra Nzamb kushik kwinsudiel, Yehova ukez kuyishesh ditenchik dined dia yom. Ukez kusal mwamu mulong wa riy—pantaliken ni “dijin [diend] ditumbila” ni mulong wa atushalapol end ashinshamena. (Ezekiel 36:20-23) Yehova ukez kudiosh uyimp wawonsu ni kutek mangand masu matentamina. Piur pa antu ayimp, Yehova ulondin anch: “Pakwez kinikez kuyovilap riy.
