Kulumbuulwa kwa miilo bwa “bulambukishi bwa Yehowa”
“Mutontshi bakuminyiine; mwanda bulambukishi bwa Yehowa bubaadi bumukume kwishimba.”—BIK. 13:12.
1-3. Nkalakasho kinyi ifumankane nayo balondji ba Kidishitu bwa kulungula mukandu wibuwa “mu maumbo ooso”?
YESU KIDISHITU bapele balondji baaye mudimo ukata wa kukita. Bebalungwile shi: “Ndayi; mu miilo yooso nwibekashe bu balondji.” Anka bu bibabaadi na kyakukita wawa mudimo, “mukandu wibuuwa wa Bufumu [ubaadi na kya] kulungulwa pa nsenga yooso ishadiibwe, bwa kulesha bu kamonyi kwi maumbo ooso.”—Mat. 24:14; 28:19, Kilombeeno kipya 2009.
2 Bolondji babaadi bafule Yesu na mukandu wibuwa. Anka, babaadi na kya kwiyipusha mushindo wabadi balombene kulombasha mudimo wabadi bebape. Kya kumpala, babaadi bapela. Na dingi, winyi Yesu abaabadi abalungula bantu shi nyi Mwan’Efile Mukulu, abaadi bamwipee. Na benyi balondji baaye abaadi abebamono bu ‘bantu bashi balongye mukanda, na be bu bantu booso.’ (Bik. 4:13) Kadi, babaadi na kya kulungula mukandu awitukeena na malongyesha a bakata ba bipwilo abaabadi balongye mu tulasa twa bipikwa bya kala. Mu kibalo kyaabo, tababaadi abebata na muulo nya. Bu bibaabadi na muulo upeela mu Isalele, balondji babaadi abeyipusha su mbalombene kwibateemesha kwi beena Looma.
3 Na dingi, Yesu baadi mubadiile kulungula balongi baaye shi abakebashikwa na kwibakyengesha na shi bamo abakepayibwa. (Luk. 21:16, 17) Abaadi na kya kufumankana na bantu abebadimbiila myanda, batemuki ba madimi, na kufiima kwa bubi. (Mat. 24:10-12) Sunga shi mukandu wabo abadya kwiukumiina kalolo mu ma mbalo ooso, mushindo kinyi ubaabadi balombene kwiutwala “mpaa na kufudiile nsenga”? (Bik. 1:8) Yaya nkalakasho ibaadi na kya kwibatshinyisha!
4. Beena Kidishitu ba kumpala babaapetele bipeta kinyi bibuwa mu mudimo wabo wa bulungudi?
4 Sunga myanda yooso kinyi ibaabadi na kya kufumankana nayo, balondji abaadi bepane ngofu mu kulungu kwa mukandu wibuwa kushi penda mu Yeelusaleme na mu Samariya nya, kadi mpa na mu ma mbalo ooso abaabadi abauku. Sunga byekala shi abaadi bafumankane na nkalakasho, munda mwa bipwa 30, mukandu wibuwa ubaadi “uwukishwe bipangwa byooso bi kuushi kweyilu” na ubaadi ‘aupa bikuba na kupalakana pa nsenga pooso.’ (Kol. 1:6, 23) Bu kileshesho: Pa mwanda wa bibaadi byakule Mpoolo mutumiibwa ku kyese kya Shiipre, mutontshi a mu Looma abetamina bu Segyuse Pauluse “baakuminyiine; mwanda bulambukishi bwa Yehowa bubaadi bumukume kwishimba.”—Badika Bikitshino 13:6-12.
5. (a) Nkinyi kibaadi Yesu mulungule balondji baaye? (b) Ungi mukanda wa kala ubaadi wakule nkinyi pabitale bipwa lukama bya kumpala?
5 Balondji ba Yesu abaadi abauku shi tababaadi balombene kulombasha mudimo wa bulungudi mu’bo banabene. Yesu baadi mwibalungule shi akyebe kwikala naabo n’ashi kikudi kiselele akikebakwasha. (Mat. 28:20) Kushintuluka kwa myanda kubaadi kukwashe mu kupalakasha kwa mukandu wibuwa. Muyile abipatuula ungi mukanda wa kala, abimweneka shi bipwa lukama bya kumpala bibaadi kipungo kibuwa bukile bwa beena Kidishitu kubanga kulungula mukandu wibuwa, na shi kunyima beena Kidishitu abaadi bapushe shi Efile Mukulu baadi mwibalumbulwile eshinda.
6. Nkinyi kyatukyebe kutaluula (a) mu uno mwisambo (b) mu mwisambo aulondo?
6 Bible taakula pabitale bibaadi Efile Mukulu mukite bwashi myanda ilumbulukye mu bipwa lukama bya kumpala bwa kupalakasha kwa mukandu wibuwa. Kadi, twi balombene kushinkamisha shi: Yehowa baadi akumiina bwashi mukandu wibuwa ulungudiibwe, anka Satana tabaadi akumiina nya. Mu uno mwisambo, atukyebe kutaluula ingi myanda ibaadi ibofushe mudimo wa kulungula mukandu wibuwa mu bipwa lukama bya kumpala kukila angi mafuku ooso. Mu mwisambo aulondo, atukyebe kutaluula mushindo ukwete kwitukwasha kulumbuluka kwa myanda ya ano eetu mafuku bwa kulungula mukandu wibuwa mpa na ku nfudiilo ya nsenga.
MUSHINDO UBAADI UKWASHE BUTAALE BWA BEENA LOOMA

Nka bu bibambile Yesu, kubaadi nka “ngoshi na nkumo ya ngoshi.” (Mat. 24:6, Kilombeeno kipya 2009) Basalayi ba beena Looma abaadi babutule Yeelusaleme mu kipwa kya 70 K.Y.K., na kubaadi ngoshi ipeela ku mikalo ya nsenga yaabo. Byabya, munda mwa bipwa 200 kubanga mu mafuku a Yesu, nsenga ya Meditelanee tayibaadi na tulee nya. Ungi mukanda wa myanda ya kala awakula shi: “Kasha takwekeele kipungo kya kufukama ki bula bino, na takwabandile kwikala butaale bwibino munkatshi mwa bantu bebungi nya.”

Mwanda bantu tababaadi abalu ngoshi bwa kukalwila maumbo aabo nya, abaadi bashale mu bibundji byabo mu butaale. Byabya Origen baadi mumone shi, pa mwanda wa byabya, bantu bebungi abaadi na mushindo wa kutemesha mukandu wa kifulo na wa butaale ubaadi nawo balondji. Sunga mbibabaadi abebakyengesha, balondji abamwene kino kipungo kya butaale bu mushindo wibuwa wa kulungula mukandu wibuwa mu ma mbalo ooso.—Badika Beena-Looma 12:18-21.

Bwabadya kutambuka bukidi, bibaadi abitungu mashinda ebuwa, na beena Looma abaadi na ngobesha ya kwiakita. Bantu abauku kwibaka ba mu Looma abaadi balumbuule mashinda e bula bukile pa bilometre 80 000 abaadi aalungu bipindji byabo bya nsenga.

Bantu bebungi abaadi beubidisheene na Bible a Septante, balondji ba Yesu ba kumpala abaadi abatemuna bishima bya mwanka. Na bena Kidishitu babamwene dingi shi kina Greke kibaadi buwa mu nfundilo aabo. Kibaadi na bishima bibungi na myaku ibungi ibaabadi balombeene

Kumbangilo kwa siekele a Katano eb.Y.K., kubaadi bena Yuuda bapalakane mu bipindji bya nsenga 127 bya bufumu bwa bena Perse. (Est. 9:30) Pabaadi Yesu pa nsenga, kubaadi bena Yuuda bashaale mu Ejiipitu na mu angi maumbo a ku Afrique a kunundu bu mu Grece, mu Asie Mineure, na mu Mesopotamie. Babaadi bapwandikishe shi mu bantu 60 000 000 babaadi mu bufumu bwa bena Looma, muntu 1 mu bantu 14 baadi mwina Yuuda.

Na dingi, Yesu balungwile balondji baaye shi: “Mu miilo yooso nwibekashe [bantu] bu balondji.” (Mat. 28:19) Na kukidila ku Bukwashi bwa Yehowa Efile Mukulu, mbibofule bwa kulombasha uno mudimo. Mu mwisambo aulondo atukamono mushindo ukwete kukitshibwa uno mudimo mu ano eetu mafuku.
