Mu pyaka pidatowerera, pikwi na pikwi pya alambiri apswa, apfundza undimomwene wa Bhibhlya mbakhala Mboni za Yahova. Yahova akhadapikira pya kuthimizirika kweneku mudalonga iye kuti: ‘Mbumba ing’ono kakamwe inadzakhala nsoka ukulu na wamphambvu. Pyonsene pinadzaoneka pa ndzidzi wakuthema, thangwi ndine Yahova anafuna kudzapicitisa mwakucimbiza.’ (Iza. 60:22) Mwakukhonda penula, profesiya ineyi isakwanirisika mu ntsiku zino zakumalisa. Natenepa, mbumba ya atumiki a Yahova ndi ikulu kakamwe lero kupiringana anthu a madzindza mazinji.

Mungafunana, anthu onsene anadzadzindikira kuti ndimwe anyakupfundza anga.’ (Jwau 13:34, 35) Mu pyaka pidapita, atumiki a Yahova apangiza ufuni unoyu kwa unango na ndzace, makamaka m’midzidzi ya nkhondo zidapha anthu azinji kakamwe pa dziko. Mwacitsandzo, anthu cifupi na mamiliyau 55 aphiwa pa Nkhondo Yaciwiri ya Dziko yonsene. Mbwenye Mboni za Yahova nee zacita khundu mu nkhondo ineyi. (Lerini Mikeya 4:1, 3.) Pyenepi pyaaphedza toera kupitiriza kukhala ‘akusowa mulando wa ciropa ca anthu.’​—Mach. 20:26.

4. Thangwi yanji kuthimizirika kwa alambiri a Yahova ndi kwakudzumisa?

⁴ Numero ya atumiki a Yahova isapitiriza kuthimizirika, maseze dziko iri m’manja mwa Sathani​—‘mulungu wa makhaliro ano a pinthu.’ (2 Akor. 4:4) Sathani asatsogolera misoka ya ndale za dziko na pyakumwaza mphangwa. Mbwenye iye nkhabe kwanisa kulimirisa basa yakumwaza mphangwa zadidi. Nakuti asadziwa kuti asala na ndzidzi wakucepa kakamwe, Sathani asaphatisira njira zakusiyana-siyana toera kubulusa anthu mu ulambiri wandimomwene.​—Apok. 12:12.

Yezu apangiza pyenepi pidalonga iye kuti: ‘‘Funa Yahova Mulungu wako, na ntima wako onsene, na umaso wako onsene, na ndzeru zako zonsene.’ Anewa ndi matongero makulu na akutoma. Aciwiri ndi sawasawa na akutoma: ‘Funa ndzako ninga iwe ene.’’ (Mat. 22:35-39) Mbwenye Bhibhlya isapangiza kuti anthu onsene ndi akusowa ungwiro thangwi ya madawo a Adhamu. (Lerini Aroma 5:12, 19.) Natenepa, midzidzi inango, abale na alongo analonga peno anacita cinthu cakuti cinatitsukwalisa. Munacitanji pyenepi pingacitika m’mpingo? Munapitiriza kufuna Yahova na ntima onsene? Munapitiriza kukhala akukhulupirika kwa Yahova na atumiki ace? Bhibhlya isalonga pya atumiki a Yahova akale akuti alonga mafala peno acita pinthu pidatsukwalisa anango. Tendeni tione kuti tinapfundzanji kubulukira kwa iwo.

Bhibhlya isalonga: ‘Ana a Eli akhali anthu akuipa, thangwi nee akhalemedza Yahova.’ (1 Sam. 2:12) Maseze Eli acita pinthu pizinji pyadidi toera kuphedzera ulambiri wandimomwene, anace awiri akhacita madawo makulu kakamwe. Eli akhadziwa pyenepi, iye akhafunika kuasandika, mbwenye iye nee acita pyenepi. Na thangwi ineyi, Yahova atcinyusa Eli na anace awiri. (1 Sam. 3:10-14) Mukupita kwa ndzidzi, nee m’bodzi wa dzindza ya Eli mbadatawiriswa pontho toera kutumikira ninga nyantsembe wankulu. Nyerezerani kuti mukukhala mu ntsiku za Eli, mbamudacitanji mungadziwa kuti iye asatawirisa anace kucita pinthu pyakuipa kakamwe? Mbamudagwegweduka na pyenepi mpaka kusiya kutumikira Yahova?

 ⁷ Yahova akhafuna kakamwe Dhavidhi, iye akhamuona ninga munthu “wakulungama ninga munafunira iye.” (1 Sam. 13:13, 14; Mach. 13:22) Mbwenye mukupita kwa ndzidzi, Dhavidhi acita upombo na Bateseba, mbampasa mimba. Pidacitika pyenepi, Uriya akhali kunkhondo. Dhavidhi nee akhafuna kuti anthu adziwe pidacita iye. Natenepa, acemeresa Uriya, mbankulumiza toera aende kagona kunyumba kwace. Dhavidhi akhadikhira kuti iye mbadapita m’mabonde na Bateseba, natenepa anthu mbadanyerezera kuti Uriya ndi baba wa mwana akhafuna kubalwa na Bateseba. Mbwenye Uriya nee atawira kuenda kunyumba kwace. Buluka penepo, Dhavidhi acita masasanyiro toera Uriya aphiwe kunkhondo. Na thangwi ya madawo ace makulu, Dhavidhi na banjace athabuka kakamwe. (2 Sam. 12:9-12) Mbwenye Yahova apangiza ntsisi mbalekerera Dhavidhi thangwi iye ‘afamba na ntima wadidi pamaso pace.’ (1 Am. 9:4) Nyerezerani kuti mukukhala mu ntsiku za Dhavidhi, mbamudagwegweduka thangwi ya madawo a Dhavidhi mbamusiya kutumikira Yahova?

Mwacitsandzo, Pedhru akhadalonga kuti cipo mbadasiya Yezu, maseze anango acite pyenepi. (Mko. 14:27-31, 50) Mbwenye pidamangwa Yezu, Pedhru na anyakupfundza onsene asiya Yezu. Buluka penepo, akhonda katatu kuti nee akhadziwa Yezu. (Mko. 14:53, 54, 66-72) Mbwenye Pedhru atsukwala kakamwe, natenepa, Yahova apitiriza kumphatisira. Mbamudakhala m’bodzi wa anyakupfundza mu ndzidzi unoyu, mbamudapitiriza kutumikira Yahova?

Mukupita kwa ndzidzi, Yuda asandukira Yezu, mbwenye Kristu nee atawirisa kuti kusandukira kwa Yuda na kukhondwa kudacitwa iye na Pedhru kumpingize m’basa yace yakutumikira Babace. (Luka 6:12-16; 22:2-6, 31, 32) Yezu akhadziwa kuti madodo anewa nee acitiswa na Yahova. Yezu nee apasa mulando atumiki onsene a Yahova thangwi ya madodo a Yuda na Pedhru. Yahova apasa nkhombo Mwanace mu kumulamusa muli akufa, pyenepi pyafungula njira toera Yezu akhale Mambo wa Umambo wakudzulu.​—Mat. 28:7, 18-20.

11. Ndi makhaliro api adapikira Yahova kwa atumiki ace mu ntsiku zakumalisa?

13, 14. (a) Thangwi yanji tisafunika kupirirana unango na ndzace? (b) Ndi pikiro ipi isafunika ife kupitiriza kukumbuka?

¹³ Musafunika kucitanji khala mwatsukwala thangwi ya mafala peno cinthu cidacita m’bale peno mulongo? N’dida wadidi kakamwe wa Bhibhlya ndi uyu: ‘Leka kucimbiza na kuipirwa, thangwi kuipirwa kusakhala m’mitima ya anthu akusowa ndzeru.’ (Koel. 7:9) Tonsene ndife akusowa ungwiro, pontho tisacita madodo. Natenepa, si pyadidi tayu kudikhira kuti abale na alongo anacita pinthu pyadidi ndzidzi onsene. Tingacita pyenepi, nee tinapitiriza kutumikira Yahova mwakutsandzaya mu ntsiku  zino zakumalisa. Cakutsukwalisa kakamwe ndi cakuti pyenepi pinaticitisa kusiya gulu ya Yahova, mbatiluza mwai wakutumikira Yahova na umaso unapikira iye mu dziko ipswa.

Pyakale pinadzaduwalikiratu, nkhabe kudzakumbukirwabve muntima.’ (Iza. 65:17; 2 Ped. 3:13) Lekani kutawirisa kuti madodo a anango akugwegweduseni mbamucimwana kutambira nkhombo zenezi.

15. Kodi Yezu alonga kuti tisafunika kucitanji anango angacita madodo?

¹⁵ Mbwenye nakuti tidzati kupita mu dziko ipswa, tisafunika kudziwa kuti Yahova asafuna ticitenji thangwi ya madodo a anango.

Mbwenye mungakhonda kulekerera anthu pyakuipa pyawo, Babanu anadzakhondambo kulekerera pyakuipa pyanu.’ Kumbukanimbo kuti pidabvundzisa Pedhru kuti asafunika kulekerera munthu “kanomwe,” Yezu antawira: ‘Ndinakupanga, si mpaka kanomwe tayu, mbwenye mpaka makumanomwe na kanomwe.’ Yezu apangiza pakweca kuti tisafunika kukhala dzololo toera kulekerera ndzidzi onsene. Kulekerera kusafunika kukhala cipendamiro cathu cikulu na cakutoma.​—Mat. 6:14, 15; 18:21, 22.

¹⁶ Zuze apangiza citsandzo cadidi kakamwe cakuti tinatsalakana tani madodo a anango. Zuze na ng’ono wace akhali ana awiri basi adabala Yakobe na nkazace Rakele. Mbwenye Yakobe akhali na ana anango akukwana khumi, mbwenye iye akhafuna kakamwe Zuze kupiringana anace onsene. Natenepa, ana khumi a Yakobe akhacitira ntcanje Zuze. Buluka penepo, iwo agulisa Zuze ninga bitcu. Mudapita pyaka pizinji, ntongi wa Ejito asankhula Zuze toera akhale ntongi waciwiri wa dziko ineyi thangwi iye adzumatirwa kakamwe na basa yaudziwisi idacita Zuze. Pidaoneka njala ikulu mu dziko yawo, abale a Zuze aenda ku Ejito kagula pyakudya, mbwenye iwo nee andzindikira. Zuze mbadakwanisa kuphatisira ndzidzi unoyu ninga mwai toera kubwezera pyakuipa abale ace thangwi ya pinthu pyakuipa pidancitira iwo. Mbwenye Zuze ayesera abale ace toera kuaona khala acinja manyerezero awo. Pidaona iye kuti mwandimomwene iwo akhadacinja, Zuze apanga abale ace kuti iye akhali Zuze. Mukupita kwa ndzidzi iye alonga: ‘Lekani kugopa cinthu, ndinapitiriza kukupasani cakudya, imwe na ananu.’ Bhibhlya isathimiza: ‘Aapumisa na kuapanga pikhanyerezera iye na mafala akupasa cinyindiro.’​—Gen. 50:21.

17. Munadzacitanji anango angacita madodo?

¹⁷ Nakuti tonsene tisadodoma, mphyadidi kukumbuka kuti panango imwe musatsukwalisambo andzanu. Mungadzindikira kuti mwatsukwalisa ndzanu, citani pinalonga Bhibhlya. Phembani m’bale peno mulongo unoyu toera akulekerereni, mbamukhazikisa ntendere na iye. (Lerini Mateo 5:23, 24.) Tisakomerwa kakamwe andzathu angatilekerera mbakhonda kukoya madodo athu, natenepa, tisafunika kucita pibodzi pyene kwa iwo. Lemba ya Akolose 3:13, Tradução do Novo Mundo isatikulumiza: “Pitirizani kupirirana unango na ndzace mbamulekererana na ntima onsene, khala munthu ali na mathangwi toera kusumira ndzace. Ninga Yahova akulekererani na ntima onsene, imwe citanimbo pyenepi.” Ufuni Wacikristu nkhabe kukoya ndandanda wa madodo. (1 Akor. 13:5) Tingalekerera andzathu, Yahova anatilekererambo. Natenepa, anango angacita madodo, tendeni tikhale anthu antsisi, ninga pinacita Babathu wantsisi, Yahova.​—Lerini Masalmo 103:12-14.
