Ikuzunda Kukompama Kwabuntunsi
“Miyeeyo yanyama ndufu.”—BA-ROMA 8:6.
1. Mbuti bantu bamwi mbobaubona mubili wabuntunsi, alimwi ino mmubuzyo nzi ngotweelede kulanga-langa?
“NJOOKULUMBA nkaambo kakugambya kwakulengwa kwangu.” (Intembauzyo 139:14) Mbwaakaimba obo sintembauzyo Davida naakali kutelaika ali cimwi cazilenge zya Jehova—imubili wamuntu. Mukwiimpanaa kutembaula oku kuluzi, kuli bamayi bamuzikombelo ibaamba kuti, mubili mbusena musisidwe cibi alimwi ncibelesyo cacibi. Mubili waambwa kuti “nciyubilo cakutazyiba, nintalisyo yazintu zibyaabi, nzyaanzyo zyabumpelenge, ncizangala cabubi, mbuumi butakwe lukkomano, mutumba uunyina mpindu, ncuumbwe ceenda.” Ee, imwaapostolo Paulo wakati: “Mulindime (nkukuti munyama yangu) tamukali cintu niciba cimwi cibotu.” (Ba-Roma 7:18) Pele sena eci caamba kuti tulizyingidwe mumubili mubyaabi katunyinaa bulangizi buli boonse?
2. (a) Ino kubaa “miyeeyo yanyama” caamba nzi? (b) Nkuzundana kuli buti kucitika akati “[ka]nyama” alimwi “[a]muuya” kuliko mubantu bayandisya kukkomanisya Leza?
2 Zimwi ziindi Magwalo abelesya bbala lyakuti “nyama” ikwaamba muntu uutalondokede mbwali sizibi iwaluzubo lwa Adamu sikuzanga. (Ba-Efeso 2:3; Intembauzyo 51:5; Ba-Roma 5:12) Nzyotwakakona kuzwa kulinguwe zyaleta “bulelu bwanyama.” (Ba-Roma 6:19) Alimwi Paulo wakacenjezya kuti: “Miyeeyo yanyama ndufu.” (Ba-Roma 8:6) Ikubaa “miyeeyo yanyama” caamba kweendelezyegwa akukulwaizigwaa zisusi zyamubili uutalondokede. (1 Johane 2:16) Aboobo, ikuti naa tusoleka kukkomanisya Leza, kuli kuzundana lyoonse akati kazintu zyakumuuya alimwi azyakumubili wesu mubisyi zyalo zitoongelezya kucita “milimo yanyama.” (Ba-Galatiya 5:17-23; 1 Petro 2:11) Nakaamana kupandulula kuzundana oku kucisizya moyo kwakali kumucitikila, Paulo wakakankamuka ulaamba: “Maawe! ndi muntu uusampukide ncobeni! Ino nguni uukonzya kundivuna kumubili oyu walufu?” (Ba-Roma 7:24) Sena Paulo wakali muntu uuzundwa lyoonse azintu zibyaabi? Ibbaibbele lilaingula cakusinizya kuti peepe!
Ibwini Kujatikizya Koongelezya Alimwi Acibi
3. Mbuti banji mbobacibona cibi alimwi akoongelezyegwa, pele mbuti Bbaibbele mbolicenjezya kujatikizya kuzilanga boobo zintu?
3 Kubantu banji sunu, cibi ncintu ncobatazumini pe kuti nkocili ncobeni. Ibamwi babelesya bbala lyakuti “cibi” munzila nguba-uba kwaamba kulubizya ikunyina makani. Tabayeeyi kuti “toonse buyo tuleelede kuboneka kubetekelo lya-Kristo, kuti tukatambule umwi aumwi cakuvola ceelede camilimo yesu njitucita mumibili yesu, niiba mibotu niiba mibi.” (2 Ba-Korinto 5:10) Ibamwi balakonzya kwaamba cakulisumpula kuti: “Zyoonse ndilakonzya kuzikazya kunze buyo lyakoongelezyegwa!” Ibamwi bakkala mumasena bantu mobabikkila maanu kapati kuzintu zikondelezya kwakaindi kaniini, kunyina makani naa zijatikizya zyakulya, koonana, misalo naa kuzwidilila. Tabayandi buyo zintu zyoonse pele balaziyanda mpoonya-mpoonya! (Luka 15:12) Tabalangi kumbele aakulikondelezya nkobacita kuti babikkile maanu kulukkomano lwa “buumi bwinibwini.” (1 Timoteo 6:19) Pele Bbaibbele lituyiisya kubikkila maanu kapati alimwi akuba bantu babikkila maanu kuzintu zyakumbele, kweeleba cintu cili coonse cikonzya kutucisa munzila yakumuuya nomuba munzila imbi ili yoonse. Ikasimpi kakasololelwaa muuya kaamba kuti: “Muntu uucenjede, abona mapenzi, ulayuba, pele bataiyide balaindilila aboobo balapenga.”—Tusimpi 27:12.
4. Ndulayo nzi ndwaakapa Paulo ku 1 Ba-Korinto 10:12, 13?
4 Paulo naakalembela Banakristo bakkala ku Korinto—imunzi wakadumide mukutalilemeka—wakacenjezya munzila iigwasya kujatikizya koongelezyegwa alimwi anguzu zyacibi. Wakati: “Oyo uuyeeya kuti ndiimvwi kabotu acenjele kuti atawi. Taakwe lutepauzyo lumusikila cita mbuli matepauzyo ngibajana bantu lyoonse, alimwi Leza wasyomeka, ikuti takoozoozumina kuti mutepaulwe kwiinda inguzu zyanu, pele antoomwe alutepauzyo ulacita cipolelo, kuti mukabe alukolelo.” (1 Ba-Korinto 10:12, 13) Toonse buyo—bakubusi abapati, baalumi abanakazi, tuloongelezyegwa kucikolo, kumilimo naa kumbi buyo. Aboobo, atulange-lange majwi aa Paulo akumvwa ncaamba kulindiswe.
Mutaciindizyi Kulisyoma Nobeni
5. Nkaambo nzi kuciindizya kuyeeya kuti tuli bayumu ncokuletela mapenzi?
5 Paulo waamba kuti: “Oyo uuyeeya kuti ndiimvwi kabotu acenjele kuti atawi.” (1 Ba-Korinto 10:12) Ikuciindizya kulisyoma kuti tuli bayumu kuletela mapenzi. Kutondezya kutamvwisya mbocibede cibi alimwi anguzu zyancico. Mbwaanga bantu mbuli Musa, Davida, Solomoni alimwi amwaapostolo Petro bakabisya, sena tweelede kulimvwa kuti swebo tuli bayumu tatukonzyi kuyungwa? (Myeelwe 20:2-13; 2 Samuele 11:1-27; 1 Bami 11:1-6; Matayo 26:69-75) Ibbuku lya Tusimpi 14:16 lyaamba kuti: “Musongo ulayoowa, ulacija bubi, pele mufubafuba ulalisumpula, ulaliiba.” Kunze lyaboobo, Jesu wakati: “Walo moyo ncobeni ulayandisisya, pele mubili wabula nguzu.” (Mateyo 26:41, Ci) Mbwaanga kunyina muntunsi uutalondokede uukwabilidwe kuzintu zibyaabi zyoongelezya, tweelede kukubikkila maanu kapati ikucenjezya kwa Paulo akutantamuka kutepaulwa, ibuyo-buyo tuyoowa.—Jeremiya 17:9.
6. Ndilili alimwi mbuti mbotweelede kulibambila kulwana kutepaulwa?
6 Ncamaanu kulibambila kulwana mapenzi aakonzya kucitika cakutayeeyelwa. Mwami Asa wakazyiba kuti iciindi caluumuno ncecakali ciindi cibotu cakuti ayake lubaya lwakulicingilizya. (2 Makani 14:2, 6, 7) Wakalizi kuti kwakali kunooba kumuka kapati ikulibambila leelyo naakali kunoozyoolwanwa. Ncimwi buyo, ikusala ncotweelede kucita notutepaulwa kweelede kucitwa aciindi ceelede, eelyo notuliibide mumizeezo mubusena butakwe citunyonganya. (Intembauzyo 63:6) Daniele abeenzinyina bayoowa Leza bakakanza kuti bayoosyomeka kumulawo wa Jehova kabatana kusinikizigwa kulya zilyo zinono zyamwami. Aboobo tiibakeenkeenka pe kukakatila kumakanzaabo, elyo tiibakazilya zilyo zisofweede. (Daniele 1:8) Notutana kuba mubukkale butepaula, atuyumye makanzeesu aakuzumanana kulilemeka. Lilikke naa twacita boobo, notuya kubaa nguzu zyakukazya cibi.
7. Nkaambo nzi ncocuumbulizya ikuzyiba kuti kuli bambi ibakazwidilila kukazya kutepaulwa?
7 Tulaumbulizyigwa kapati kaka kumajwi aa Paulo aakuti: “Taakwe lutepauzyo lumusikila cita mbuli matepauzyo ngibajana bantu lyoonse”! (1 Ba-Korinto 10:13) Imwaapostolo Petro wakalemba kuti: “Amulwane [Diabolosi], mube bayumu mulusyomo, nkaambo mulizi kuti mapenzi aya ngaonya alasikila kubunyina bwanu bwakumasi oonse.” (1 Petro 5:9) Inzya, kuli bambi bakatepaulwa mbubwenya mbuli ndiswe alimwi ibakazwidilila kukazya kutepaulwa oku kwiinda mukugwasigwaa nguzu zya Leza, aboobo andiswe tulakonzya kucita mbubwenya. Pele mbotuli Banakristo bapona munyika iisofweede, toonse tulakonzya kulangila kutepaulwa kufwumbwa ciindi, ino-ino naa kumbele. Aboobo, mbuti mbotunga twasinizya kuzunda kukompama kwamubili akutepaulwa kuti tubisye?
Tulakonzya Kukukazya Kutepaulwa!
8. Ninzila nzi iiyandika mukweeleba kutepaulwa?
8 Inzila iiyandika kutegwa tutabi “mubuzike bwazibi” nkweeleba kutepaulwa. (Ba-Roma 6:6) Ibbuku lya Tusimpi 4:14, 15 likulwaizya kuti: “Utanjili munzila yabasizibi, nikuba kuya bweenda mumugwagwa wabantu babi. Koileka; uteendi mulinjiyo; tozya kumbi, akwiindilila.” Kanjikanji inga tulizyi kale kuti bukkale bumwi inga bwasololela kucibi. Aboobo, icintu ciyandika ncotweelede kucita mbotuli Banakristo ‘nkwiindilizya’ kutantamuka muntu oyo, cintu alimwi abusena buli boonse bunga bwabusya zisusi zibyaabi akulikumbuzya kusofweede.
9. Mbuti kutija bukkale butepaula mbokukankaizigwa mu Magwalo?
9 Ikutija bukkale butepaula nintaamu iimbi iiyandika iikonzya kutugwasya kuzunda kutepaulwa. Paulo wakalailila kuti: “Amucije bwaamu.” (1 Ba-Korinto 6:18) Wakalemba kuti: “Amucije kukomba mituni.” (1 Ba-Korinto 10:14) Alimwi imwaapostolo wakacenjezya Timoteo kweeleba kulombozya lubono lwakumubili alimwi akutija “zisusi zyabwanike.”—2 Timoteo 2:22; 1 Timoteo 6:9-11.
10. Mbukkale buli buti bwiindene bobile ibutondezya mbokuyandika ikutija kutepaulwa?
10 Amulange-lange makani aajatikizya Mwami wa Israyeli Davida. Mbwaakali kudunamina kulanga kuzwa atalaa ciluli caŋanda yakwe yabwami, wakabona mwanakazi mubotu kasamba, elyo moyo wakwe wakazula zisusi zibyaabi. Wakeelede kuzwa aciluli caŋanda kutegwa atatepaulwi. Muciindi cakucita boobo, wakabuzya kujatikizya mwanakazi oyo Bateseba—elyo izyakacitika nzibyaabi kapati. (2 Samuele 11:1–12:23) Kulubazu lumwi, ino Josefa wakacita buti eelyo mukaintu wasimalelaakwe uutalilemeki naakamukulwaizya koona anguwe? Icibalo citwaambila kuti: “Nkabela mazuba oonse, nekuba kuti wakacili kwaambila Josefa, taakwe naakazumina abuniini koona awe nanka kuba awe.” Nokuba kuti Mulawo wa Musa teewakaninga kupegwa, Josefa wakaingula mukaintu oyo kuti: “Nkacite buti bubi bupati buli boobu akubisizya Leza?” Bumwi buzuba wakamuvwaampila kaamba kuti: “Atulale ayebo”! Sena Josefa wakazumanana kubaanguwe akutalika kumupandulwida mbocakali cibi kucita boobo? Peepe. ‘Wakatija, waya anze.’ Josefa tanaakazumizya kutepaulwa kwakoonana kuti kucitike. Wakatija!—Matalikilo 39:7-16.
11. Ncinzi ncotukonzya kucita ikuti naa kuli citutepaula lyoonse?
11 Zimwi ziindi ikutija kwaambwa kuti mbukandu, pele ikuzwaa busena bukonzya kukuletela mapenzi akutepaulwa nintaamu yamaanu. Ambweni kuli kutepaulwa kutucitikila lyoonse kumilimo. Nokuba kuti inga tacikonzyeki kuti tucince milimo, kulakonzya kuba nzila zimbi zyakulikwabilila kubukkale butepaula. Tatweelede kucita cintu cili coonse ncotuzyi kuti ncibyaabi alimwi tweelede kukanza kucita buyo zintu ziluleme. (Amosi 5:15) Munzila imbi, ikweeleba kutepaulwa inga kwatulesya kweebelela zifwanikiso zyabwaamu a Internet alimwi akweeleba masena aakulikondelezya mabyaabi. Alimwi cilakonzya kwaamba kusowa mamagazini mabyaabi naa kujana balongwe bambi—aabo ibayanda Leza alimwi ibakonzya kutugwasya. (Tusimpi 13:20) Tunooli basongo ikuti twakanza kukaka cintu kufwumbwa cinga catutepaula kuti tubisye.—Ba-Roma 12:9.
Mboukonzya Kugwasya Mupailo
12. Ncinzi ncotulomba kuli Leza notupaila kuti: “Utatweenzyi mukutepaulwa”?
12 Paulo upa cisyomezyo cikkazika moyo cakuti: “Leza wasyomeka, ikuti takoozoozumina kuti mutepaulwe kwiinda inguzu zyanu, pele antoomwe alutepauzyo ulacita cipolelo, kuti mukabe alukokelo.” (1 Ba-Korinto 10:13) Inzila yomwe mwatugwasya Jehova nkwiinda muukwiingula mipailo yesu notulomba kuti atugwasye kuliyumya ciindi notutepaulwa. Jesu Kristo wakatuyiisya kupaila kuti: “Utatweenzyi mukutepaulwa, utuvune kumubi.” (Matayo 6:13) Mukwiingula mupailo wapailwa camoyo oonse uli boobo, Jehova takatulekelezyi mukutepaulwa pe; uyootuvwuna kuli Saatani ameeneeno aakwe. (Ba-Efeso 6:11) Tweelede kulomba Leza kuti atugwasye kuzyiba kutepaulwa kuliko alimwi akubaa nguzu zyakukukazya. Ikuti twamukombelezya kuti atatuzumizyi kwaalilwa notutepaulwa, uyootugwasya ikutegwa atatuzundi Saatani, ooyo “mubi.”
13. Ncinzi ncotweelede kucita notutepaulwa lyoonse?
13 Tweelede kupaila cakusitikizya loko, ikapati notuzumanana kutepaulwa. Ikutepaulwa kumwi kulakonzya kutunyonganya kapati mumizeezo, tulakonzya kupenga amizeezo iikonzya kunootuyeezya mbotukompeme. (Intembauzyo 51:5) Mucikozyanyo, ncinzi ncotukonzya kucita ikuti naa tuyeeya kucita cintu cimwi cibyaabi ncitwakali kucita musyule icatupenzya mumizeezo? Ino mbuti naa twasunkwa kupilukila kucita cintu eco alimwi? Muciindi cakuliyumya-yumya buyo mukuyeeya kuli boobo, amumwaambile makani ayo Jehova mumupailo cakwiinduluka-induluka ikuti kakuyandika. (Intembauzyo 55:22) Kwiinda munguzu zya Jwi lyakwe amuuya wakwe uusalala, ulakonzya kutugwasya kugusya miyeeyo mibyaabi mumizeezo yesu.—Intembauzyo 19:8, 9.
14. Ikutegwa tuliyumye mukukompama kwabuntunsi, nkaambo nzi ncouyandika kapati mupailo?
14 Naakabona kuti baapostolo bakwe balafwukula mumuunda wa Getesemane, Jesu wakabakulwaizya kuti: “Amulangile akukomba kuti mutanjili mukutepaulwa. Walo moyo ncobeni ulayandisisya, pele mubili wabula nguzu.” (Mateyo 26:41, Ci) Inzila iigwasya kuzunda kutepaulwa nkucenjela kwiinda mukuzyiba nzila zinjaanji ikutepaulwa mbokuboola alimwi akuzicenjelela kapati nzila zyakoongelezya oko. Alimwi cilayandika kapati kufwambaana kupailila lugwasyo mukutepaulwa kuli koonse ikutegwa katulibambilide munzila yakumuuya ikukazya ciindi coonse. Akaambo kakuti kutepaulwa kulatusikila aacintu ncotutasimide, tacikonzyeki kukukazya munguzu zyesu tobeni. Mupailo ulayandika kapati akaambo kakuti nguzu zya Leza zilakonzya kutuyumya kumukazya Saatani. (Ba-Filipi 4:6, 7) Alimwi tulakonzya kuyandika lugwasyo lwakumuuya amipailo ya “baalu bambungano.”—Jakobo 5:13-18.
Amukukazye Kapati Kutepaulwa
15. Ncinzi cijatikizidwe mukukazya kutepaulwa?
15 Kunze lyakweeleba kutepaulwa eelyo nokukonzyeka, tweelede kukukazya kapati kusikila kwainda naa bukkale bwacinca. Jesu naakasunkwaa Saatani, wakamukazya Diabolosi kusikila wamusiya. (Matayo 4:1-11) Sikwiiya Jakobo wakalemba kuti: “Amumukazye Saatani, uyoomucija.” (Jakobo 4:7) Ikukazya kutalikaa kuyumya mizeezo yesu a Jwi lya Leza alimwi akukanza kutobela zyeelelo zyakwe. Inga cabota ikupeta akuzinzibala kuyeeya magwalo amwi aayandika aakugama buya kukompama nkotujisi. Ncamaanu ikujana Munakristo uusimide ambweni mwaalu ooyo ngotunga twaambila zitukatazya alimwi nkotunga twaunka kuti atugwasye ciindi notuli mukusunkwa kucita cintu cibyaabi.—Tusimpi 22:17.
16. Mbuti mbotunga twazumanana kulilemeka?
16 Imagwalo atukulwaizya kusama buntu bupya. (Ba-Efeso 4:24) Eci caamba kuzumizya Jehova kutweendelezya akutucinca. Paulo naakalembela mubelesinyina Timoteo wakati: “Kogamine kutobela bululami, akukomba, alusyomo, aluyandano, alukakatilo, alulibombyo. Yasana lumamba lubotu lwalusyomo, jatisya buumi butagoli, mbowakaitilwa.” (1 Timoteo 6:11, 12) Tulakonzya ‘kutobela buyo bululami’ kwiinda mukwiiya Jwi lya Leza cabusungu ikutegwa tube aaluzibo lunji lujatikizya bube bwakwe alimwi akwiinda mukulilemeka mbuli mbwayanda. Ikujatikizigwa lyoonse mumilimo ya Bunakristo mbuli yakukambauka makani mabotu alimwi akujanika kumiswaangano kulayandika akwalo. Aboobo kuswenenena kuli Leza alimwi akuzibikkila maanu zipego zyakumuuya nzyapa, kuyootugwasya kuyaambele munzila yakumuuya akuzumanana kulilemeka kabotu.—Jakobo 4:8.
17. Ino tuzyi buti kuti Leza takatulekelezyi twaakusunkwa?
17 Paulo utusyomezya kuti kufwumbwa kutepaulwa kuyootucitikila takukaindilili aanguzu nzyatupede Leza zyakuliyumya. Jehova ‘uyootupa nzila yakupolela kutegwa tukonzye kuliyumya.’ (1 Ba-Korinto 10:13) Ncobeni, ikuti naa twazumanana kusyoma Leza, takonzyi kutulekelela kutepaulwa kuti cibe cintu cipati cakuti mane twabula nguzu zyakumuuya zyakuzumanana kusyomeka. Uyanda kuti tuzwidilile kukazya kutepaulwa canguzu ikutegwa tucite ciluleme. Kunze lyaboobo, tulakonzya kusyoma cisyomezyo cakwe cakuti: “Nsikwe nenti kamulekelezye nokuba kuyoomuleka buyo pe, pe.”—Ba-Hebrayo 13:5.
18. Nkaambo nzi ncotukonzya kubaa lusyomo lwakuti tuyoozwidilila munkondo yakulwana kukompama kwabuntunsi?
18 Paulo tanaakali kudooneka kujatikizya zyakali kunoocitika mukusoleka kulwana kukompama kwabuntunsi nkwaakali kucita. Tanaakalibona kuba uunyina lugwasyo caboola kuzisusi zyakwe zyakumubili. Muciindi cakulibona boobo, wakati: “Nsizuzi cakulengaana pe. Ndadinka mbubonya, nsiumi muuwo buyo pe. Ndaumisya loko mubili wangu, ube muzike wangu, kutabi kuti, ndamana kukambaukila bamwi, ime ndemwini ndaba musowe.” (1 Ba-Korinto 9:26, 27) Aswebo tulakonzya kuzwidilila kulwana zisusi zyamubili uutalondokede. Kwiinda mukubelesya Magwalo, mabbuku aapandulula Bbaibbele, Miswaangano ya Bunakristo alimwi a Banakristoma basimide, Taateesu wakujulu siluyando ulatupa ziyeezyo lyoonse izitugwasya kutobela bukkale bululeme. Kwiinda mulugwasyo ndwapa, tulakonzya kuzwidilila munkondo yakulwana kukompama kwabuntunsi!
