Nkinkaako, chiindi Jehova naakabuzya Ezekkiyele kwaziindi zibili kuti: ‘Ndilikukutuma,’ Ezekkiyele wakali aatwaambo tumvwika twakuti aabe aachoonzyo chakuti Jehova wakali kuzoomugwasya. Alubo majwi aakuti: “Ijwi lya Jehova lyakandisikila,” alajanika kwaziindi zyiingi mubbuku lyaEzekkiyele.

Waakwiinda mumulilo, tokapyi pe, alimwi naaba mabangabanga aamulilo taakakubabuli pe.” (Is. 43:2) Chimwi chiindi nituchita mulimu wesu, nga twaswaana buyumu-yumu buli mbuli tulonga amulilo. Nikuba oobo, kwiinda mukugwasigwa aaJehova, tulikwiinkilila kunembo amulimu wesu wakukambawuka.

Tweelede kuyeeya kuti, kukaka kuswiilila nkubachita, takwaambi kuti twakachilwa kuchita mulimu wakukambawuka. Kuziba kuti Jehova ulabotelwa kuti twayinkilila kunembo kwaambilizya mulumbe wakwe chakusyomeka kulatuumbulizya akutusimya. Mwaapostoli Pawulu wakaamba kuti: “Umwi awumwi uzoopegwa bulumbu bwakwe kweendelana amulimu wakwe.” (1 Kor. 3:8; 4:1, 2) Umwi muchizi waba aachiindi chilamfu kali payona wakaamba kuti: “Kulandibotezya kuziba kuti Jehova utupa bulumbu akaambo kamilimu njituchita.”

Ezekkiyele wakalemba kuti: “Muuya wakandinjila alimwi wakandipa kuti ndiimikile.” (Ezk. 2:1, 2) Chiindi choonse Ezekkiyele naakali kuchita mulimu wakwe, wakali kuzulwidwa ‘aajanza’ lyaLeza, nkukwaamba muuya uusalala waLeza. (Ezk. 3:22; 8:1; 33:22; 37:1; 40:1) Muuya waLeza wakapa kuti Ezekkiyele abe aamanguzu aakuchita mulimu ngwaakapedwe, wakukambawukila bantu bakali ‘basicinguni alubo batanyoneki’ bakali muchilawu chakwe. (Ezk. 3:7) Jehova wakabuzya Ezekkiyele kuti: “Ndayumya busyu bwako mbubonya mbuli masyu aabo alimwi ndayumya nkumo yako mbubonya mbuli nkumo zyabo. Nkumo yako ndaiyumya mbubonya mbuli daimondi, akwiinda bbweluuma. Utabayoowi pe alimwi utakongwi amasyu aabo.” (Ezk. 3:8, 9) Kwakali mbuli kuti Jehova wakali kubuzya Ezekkiyele kuti: ‘Myoyo miyumu yabantu aaba itapi kuti umane manguzu. Ndilakupa manguzu.’
9 Kuzwa kuchiindi eecho, muuya waLeza wakali aa-Ezekkiyele chiindi naakali kuchita mulimu wakwe. Ezekkiyele wakalemba kuti: “Janza lya Jehova lyakali alindime canguzu.” Mupolofita ooyu wakamana mviki kalikulya Jwi lyaLeza kuchitila kuti libe mumoyo wakwe. (Ezk. 3:14, 15) Mpawo Jehova wakamulayilila kuti ayinke kukkuti litandabete, ooko “muuya [nkwaakamunjila].” (Ezk. 3:23, 24) Ezekkiyele wakali walibambila kuchita mulimu wakwe.
