     Mfundo ja m’Baibulo: “Kalakala mwajasaga ndaŵi jejinji pakutenda yindu yele yakusayinonyela ŵandu ŵa mitundu jine. Mwakuyaga yindu yakunyalaya, yilakolako yakunyalaya, kukolelwa, kutunduka, masegwe ga pa mkologo ni kupopelela yindu yakupanyidwa ni ŵandu.”​—1 Petulo 4:3.

     Mwakamulana ni mfundo ja palilembali, ŵa Mboni sya Yehofa ŵangajawula ku yisangalalo yele ŵandu akusakolelwa soni yamasegwe. Nambope akusasangalala kunguluka ni achimjawo soni naga asachile akusasagula kumwa ukana mwachikatikati. Pakutenda yeleyi akusakuya mfundo ja m’Baibulo jakuti, “Kanga mkulya kapena kumwa, kapena mkutenda chilichose, mtendeje yeleyi kuti mumchimbichisye Mlungu.”​—1 Akolinto 10:31.

     Myoyo ŵa Mboni sya Yehofa ŵangatenda nawo yisangalalo yayikusalimbikasya ndamo syakusakala. Yeleyi yikupwatikapo chisangalalo chakusatenda Ayuda cha Purim. Atamose kuti kwa yaka yejinji Ayuda aŵele ali mkutenda chisangalalo cha Purim pakumbuchila lisiku liŵagopoledwe ku kapolo m’yaka ya mma 400 B.C.E., buku jine jikusasala kuti “masiku agano chisangalalochi ngachikusamanyika chenene soni chikusajinjilidwa mmalo ni chisangalalo cha chiyuda cha Mardi Gras kapena kuti Carnival.” Bukuji jasasilesoni kuti pa chisangalalochi “achalume akusaŵala yakuŵala yachakongwe, pakusatendekwa yachiwawa, ŵandu akusakolelwa soni pakusaŵa lisegwe pa malopo.”​—Essential Judaism.

 Ana ŵa Mboni sya Yehofa ŵangakusatendaga nawo yisangalalo yine yakwe, nikuti akusaganonyela maŵasa gawo?

 Elo. Baibulo jikusajiganya kuti ŵandu wosope ŵa mwiŵasa anonyelaneje nambosoni kuchimbichisyana, mwangajigalila yakusakulupilila jwine. (1 Petulo 3:​1, 2, 7) Jwa Mboni sya Yehofa palesile kutenda nawo yisangalalo yine yakwe, ŵachibale ŵane nganaŵa asangalele. Payitendekwe yeleyi ŵa Mboni sya Yehofa akusiŵalondechesyaga ligongo lyakwe atesile yeleyi nambo mwawuchimbichimbi. Konjechesya pelepa naga patendekwe yine yakwe akusajawulaga kukwalola.

 Ana ŵa Mboni sya Yehofa akusiŵasalila ŵandu ŵane kuti akatendaga yisangalalo?
