1, 2. Cinshi “uwatemwikwa” alimba, lelo camulenga shani insoni?
“UYU mulumbe ni cikanga ucile yonse imilumbe mu kuyemba kwa milembelwe no kulamuka kwabomfiwa ukuti ifyebo fyumfwike.” Ifyo e fyasosele uulanda pali Baibolo umo ilyo alelanda pa mashiwi ya kwiswila aya kwa Esaya icipandwa 5. Ifyebo fya kwa Esaya te nshintu fye, filondolola bwino ifyo Yehova asunga abantu bakwe mu kutemwa. Aya mashiwi yalatusoka ne fyo tufwile ukuibakako ku fimufulwisha.
2 Umulumbe wa kwa Esaya utendeka ati: “Shi leka nyimbile uwatemwikwa wandi, ulwimbo lwa watemwikwa wandi ulwe bala lyakwe lya myangashi: Uwatemwikwa wandi aali ne bala lya myangashi mu buninino bwa mufundo. Alilimisha, afumyamo na mabwe, alimbamo no mwangashi uwasoboloka [“uusuma,” NW], akuula no lupungu mu kati ka liko, ne ca kukaminamo na co afukulamo; e lyo alolelo kutwala kwa myangashi, awe lyatwale myangashi ya mpanga!”—Esaya 5:1, 2; linganyeniko Marko 12:1.
Ukusakamana Ibala lya Myangashi
3, 4. Kusakamana nshi ukwa kutemwa ukwapooswapo pe bala lya myangashi?
3 Nampo nga Esaya alimbile uyu mulumbe icine cine nelyo iyo, abantu bafwaisha ukukutika. Napamo abengi balishiba umulimo wa kulima ibala lya myangashi, kabili ifyo Esaya alelondolola fintu fya cine cine, ifyo bamona. Umwine we bala lya myangashi acita ificita abalimi ba myangashi na lelo, tabyele imbuto sha mwangashi, lelo alimbamo “umwangashi” uusuma,—e kuti alimba akamusambo ukufuma ku mwangashi umbi. Alima ibala lyakwe lya myangashi “mu buninino bwa mufundo,” umo lili no kutemfuma.
4 Pa kulenga ibala lya myangashi ukutwala palaba umulimo sana. Esaya alondolola ifyo umwine ‘alima no kufumyamo amabwe’—uyu waba mulimo wa cibe, uwa kunasha! Napamo amabwe yakulileko eyo ‘akuulamo ulupungu.’ Ku kale impungu sha musango yo e shaleikalamo abalinshi abalelinda ifilimwa ku bapuupu ne nama.a Akuulako ne cibumba ca mabwe ica kulipindilila. (Esaya 5:5) Ici calecitwa pa kuti umushili usuma tausendelwe ku menshi.
5. Cinshi umwine we bala lya myangashi mu cifyalilwa aleenekela, lelo cinshi alobolola?
5 Pa kuba nabombesha nga nshi ukucingilila ibala lya myangashi, mu cifyalilwa fye umwine kuti aenekela ukuti likatwala. Apo aleenekele ci, afukulamo ica kukaminamo imyangashi. Lelo bushe lyatwala fintu alefwaya? Iyo, ibala lya myangashi lyatwala imyangashi ya mpanga.
Ibala lya Myangashi no Mwine
6, 7. (a) Nani umwine we bala lya myangashi, kabili ibala lya myangashi cinshi? (b) Kupingula kwa musango nshi umwine we bala alomba?
6 Bushe umwine nani, kabili ibala lya myangashi cinshi? Umwine we bala lya myangashi ayasukila ifi fipusho lintu atila: “Nomba, mwe bekashi ba mu Yerusalemu, mwe bantu ba kwa Yuda, shi pinguleni pa kati ka ine ne bala lyandi lya myangashi. Cinshi cashalapo ica kucita kwi bala lyandi lya myangashi, ico nshacitilemo? Nga kanshi cinshi ico lyatwalile myangashi ya mpanga, ilyo nalolelo kutwala kwa myangashi? Nomba shi lekeni mwebe ico ndecita kwi bala lyandi lya myangashi: nkafumyako ulubao lwa liko, no kuleka lipye; nkapongole cibumba ca liko, no kuleka linyantaulwe.”—Esaya 5:3-5.
7 Kanshi Yehova e mwine we bala lya myangashi, kabili cili kwati aibika mu cilye, no kulomba ukuti cipingulwe pa kati kakwe ne bala lyakwe ilya myangashi ilya cabe cabe. Nga kanshi ibala lya myangashi cinshi? Umwine alondolola ati: “Ibala lya myangashi lya kwa Yehova wa milalo, ba ng’anda ya kwa Israele, na bantu ba kwa Yuda e yalimbwa yakwe iyapekelwa.”—Esaya 5:7a.
8. Cinshi ukwita Yehova ati “uwatemwikwa wandi” kuli Esaya kwingatubulula?
8 Esaya aita Yehova umwine we bala lya myangashi ati, “uwatemwikwa wandi.” (Esaya 5:1) Esaya kuti alanda ifyo pa lwa kwa Lesa pa mulandu fye wa kuti ni cibusa Wakwe umwine mwine. (Linganyeniko Yobo 29:4; Amalumbo 25:14.) Lelo ukutemwa uyu kasesema atemwa Lesa takwingalingana no kutemwa Lesa atemwa ‘ibala lyakwe ilya myangashi’—e kuti uluko ‘alimba.’—Linganyeniko Ukufuma 15:17; Amalumbo 80:8, 9.
9. Ni shani Yehova aasunga uluko lwakwe, ukupala ibala lya myangashi ilyatemwikwa?
9 Yehova ‘alimbile’ uluko lwakwe mu calo ca Kanaani no kulupeela amalango ne fipope, ifyali nge cibumba ca kubacingilila ukuti bekoweshiwa ku nko shimbi. (Ukufuma 19:5, 6; Amalumbo 147:19, 20; Abena Efese 2:14) Yehova ababikilepo na bakapingula, bashimapepo, na bakasesema ku kubafundisha. (2 Ishamfumu 17:13; Malaki 2:7; Imilimo 13:20) Nga abena Israele basanswa ku fita, Yehova aleimya uwakubatuula. (AbaHebere 11:32, 33) Kanshi Yehova nakwata umulandu wa kwipushisha ati: “Cinshi cashalapo ica kucita kwi bala lyandi lya myangashi, ico nshacitilemo?”
Ukwishiba Ibala lya Myangashi Ilya kwa Lesa Lelo
10. Mulumbe nshi uwasanshishemo ibala lya myangashi Yesu aumine?
10 Napamo Yesu aleibukisha amashiwi ya kwa Esaya lintu aumine umulumbe wa balya balimi inkomi uwa kuti: “Kwali umuntu umwine wa ng’anda uwalimine ibala lya myangashi, ashingulwisheko no lubao, aimbilemo no mwa kukamina, no kukuulo lupungu; kabili aliseekeshe ku balimi, no kuya kumbi.” Ku ca bulanda, balya balimi balifutwike umwine we bala lya myangashi, baipeye no mwana wakwe umwaume. Yesu akonkenyepo ukulanga ukuti uyu mulumbe tawali fye pali Israele wa cine cine lintu atile: “Ubufumu bwa kwa Lesa bukapokwa kuli imwe [abena Israele ba cine cine] no kupeelwa ku luko ululetwale fisabo fya buko.”—Mateo 21:33-41, 43.
11. Libala nshi ilya myangashi ilya ku mupashi ilyaliko mu mwanda wa myaka uwa kubalilapo, lelo cali shani ilyo abatumwa bafwile?
11 “Uluko” lupya lwaishileba ni “Israele wa kwa Lesa”—uluko lwa ku mupashi ulwa Bena Kristu basubwa ababa 144,000. (Abena Galatia 6:16; 1 Petro 2:9, 10; Ukusokolola 7:3, 4) Yesu alingenye aba basambi ku “misambo” ya “mwangashi wine wine,” uuli ni Yesu umwine. Iyi misambo mu cifyalilwa fye, kuti yaenekelwa ukutwala. (Yohane 15:1-5) Bafwile ukulangisha imibele yapala iya kwa Kristu no kubombako umulimo wa kubile “mbila nsuma iyi ya bufumu.” (Mateo 24:14; Abena Galatia 5:22, 23) Lelo ukutula apo abatumwa 12 bafwila, abengi abaitunga ukuba imisambo ya “mwangashi wine wine” baba ba cimbepa fye—abashitwala fisabo fisuma lelo batwala imyangashi ya mpanga.—Mateo 13:24-30, 38, 39.
12. Ni shani ifyo amashiwi ya kwa Esaya yasenuka Kristendomu, kabili lisambililo nshi aya mashiwi yasambilisha Abena Kristu ba cine?
12 E co ukusenuka Esaya asenwike abena Yuda e kusenuka kuli na pali Kristendomu lelo. Ifyo acita—inkondo, inkondo sha mushilo, no Kulubulwisha kwakaluka—filanga ukuti atwala ifisabo fyakantuka! Lelo, umwangashi wine wine uwa Bena Kristu basubwa na banabo aba mwi “bumba likalamba” na bo bafwile ukumfwila amashiwi ya kwa Esaya. (Ukusokolola 7:9) Nga balefwaya umwine we bala lya myangashi asekelemo, bonse pamo, e lyo na pa lwabo umo umo bafwile ukutwala ifisabo ifimutemuna.
“Imyangashi ya Mpanga”
13. Cinshi Yehova ali no kucita kwi bala lyakwe ilya myangashi pa kutwala ifisabo fyabipa?
13 Apantu Yehova alibombesha ku kulima ibala lyakwe ilya myangashi no kulisakamana, kuti alyenekela ukuba “ibala lya myangashi ilyawama.” (Esaya 27:2) Lelo, mu cifulo ca kutwala ifisabo fisuma, lyatwala “imyangashi ya mpanga,” ishiwi lyabomfiwa lipilibula “ifyanunka” nelyo “ifisabo fyabola.” (Esaya 5:2, NW utulembo twa pe samba; Yeremia 2:21) E co Yehova abilisha ukuti ali no kufumyako “ulubao” lucingilila uluko. Uluko luli no ‘kusampanishiwa’ kabili lukalekeleshiwa no kubamo icilala. (Belengeni Esaya 5:6.) Mose alisokele ukuti nga tabakonkele Amalango ya kwa Lesa, ifyo fine e fyali no kubacitikila.—Amalango 11:17; 28:63, 64; 29:22, 23.
14. Fisabo nshi Yehova aleenekela ku luko lwakwe, lelo cinshi lwatwala?
14 Lesa aleenekela uluko ukutwala ifisabo fisuma. Mika, uwaikeleko inshita imo ine na Esaya abilisha ati: “Cinshi cimbi ico Yehova alefwaya kuli iwe, kano ukucito bupingushi, no kutemwo luse, no kwenda bufuke bufuke na Lesa obe?” (Mika 6:8; Sekaria 7:9) Lelo uluko lwafilwa ukumfwila ukukonkomesha kwa kwa Yehova. “[Lesa] alolelo bupingushi, lelo, moneni, ukusumyo mulopa, alolelo bulungami, lelo, moneni, inkuuta.” (Esaya 5:7b) Mose alisobele ukuti ulu luko lushaba na cishinka lwali no kutwala ifinkolwankolwa fya myangashi ukufuma ku “mwangashi wa ku Sodomu.” (Amalango 32:32) Napamo ukutoba kwabo Amalango ya kwa Lesa kusanshishemo bucisenene, pamo no kulaalana kwa baume na baume, abanakashi na banakashi banabo. (Ubwina Lebi 18:22) Uku “kusumyo mulopa” ukwabula no kutwishika e kwalengele abalanda ukucite “nkuuta” iya kuti yaumfwika na ku Mwine we bala lya myangashi.—Linganyeniko Yobo 34:28.
15, 16. Bushe Abena Kristu ba cine kuti basengauka shani ukutwala ifisabo fyabipa ifyatweleko abena Israele?
15 Yehova Lesa “atemwo bulungami no bupingushi.” (Amalumbo 33:5) Akambishe abaYuda ati: “Mwilacita bupondamishi mu bupingushi bwenu; [wilafyenga mulanda, kabili witemwapo umukankaala, NW].” (Ubwina Lebi 19:15) Kanshi tatufwile ukuba na kapaatulula mu kubishanya kwesu, te kwesha ukupondamika ubupingushi pa mulandu wa mushobo, umushinku, icuma, nelyo ubupiina. (Yakobo 2:1-4) Calicindama maka maka ku bakwata ififulo fya kwangalila ‘ukukanacita nangu cimo mu kapaatulula,’ lyonse bafwile ukumfwa kuli bonse ababimbilwemo ilyo bashilapingula.—1 Timote 5:21; Amapinda 18:13.
16 Kabili, kuti cayanguka ku Bena Kristu ukupata ifipimo fya bukapepa nelyo ukufipondokela apantu twikala mu calo umwaba ubupulumushi. Lelo Abena Kristu ba cine bafwile ‘balepetamina’ amafunde ya kwa Lesa. (Yakobo 3:17) Te mulandu na bucisenene no lukaakala mu “bwikashi bwa bubifi ubulipo nomba,” balekabila ‘ukucenjela mu kwenda kwabo, te kwenda nga batumpa iyo, kano nga ba mano.’ (Abena Galatia 1:4; Abena Efese 5:15) Tabafwaya ukutekelesha ifya kulaalana, kabili ilyo bapusana, balingile ukulanshanya ukwabulo “bukali ne ciwowo ne miponto.” (Abena Efese 4:31) Ilyo balekusha ubulungami, Abena Kristu ba cine balaletela Lesa umucinshi na o alabasenamina.
Icilambu ca Bufunushi
17. Myendele nshi iya bubifi iyasenukwa mu kalanda ka kubalilapo Esaya abilisha?
17 Mu Esa 5 cikomo 8, Esaya nomba taleambula amashiwi ya kwa Yehova. Pa kusenuka “imyangashi ya mpanga” iyatwala mu Yuda, Esaya wine e wabilisha akalanda ka kubalilapo pa bulanda 6 ati: “Kalanda ku batitikanye ng’anda ne ng’anda, abatitikanye mpanga ne mpanga, kwasuka kwabula kabili incende, na imwe mwalengwo kwikala mweka mu kati ka calo. Yehova wa milalo alapila mu matwi yandi, ati, Cine cine amayanda ayengi yakabe capomonwa, ayakalamba yasuma yakabo mushaba mwikashi. Pantu baekare ikumi be bala lya myangashi bakatwala bati umo, ne mbuto sha omere shikatwala efa.”—Esaya 5:8-10.
18, 19. Ni shani fintu aba nkulo ya kwa Esaya basuula amafunde ya kwa Yehova pa lwa fikwatwa, kabili cinshi cikabacitikila?
18 Impanga yonse iya mu Israele yali ya kwa Yehova. Ulupwa lumo lumo lwalikwete ubupyani Lesa alupeele, ubo bengaashimisha lelo te kuti babushitishe kuli “bambi pe.” (Ubwina Lebi 25:23) Ili funde lyacilikile imibele yabipa, pamo ngo kung’ang’ina impanga. Na kabili lyalecingilila pa kuti indupwa tashitikile mu bupiina. Lelo bamo mu Yuda, baletoba ifunde lya kwa Lesa pa mulandu wa kufunukila ifikwatwa. Mika alembele ati: “Bakumbwe filime no kufipoka, amayanda na yo no kuyasenda; bacito muntu ne ng’anda yakwe ulumanimani, umuntu ne cikwatwa cakwe.” (Mika 2:2) Lelo Amapinda 20:21 yasoka ati: “Icikwatwa icanonkwo lubilo pa kubala, tacakapaalwe mu nshita iya kulekelesha.”
19 Yehova alaya ukuti akapokolola aba bafunushi ifyuma banonka mu bucenjeshi. Amayanda bapokolola yakabo “mushaba mwikashi.” Impanga bakumbwa tayakameshe ukufika apo ingapesha. Tacalondololwa ifyo ici citiipu cili no kucitika ne nshita cikacitika. Kwena, cilemoneke fyo ulubali lumo lulelanda pa mibele ya ku ntanshi iyali no kwisako ku mulandu wa bunkole bwa ku Babele.—Esaya 27:10.
20. Ni shani ifyo Abena Kristu lelo bengasengauka ubufunushi ubwaliko na bamo mu Israele?
20 Abena Kristu lelo bafwile ukupata ubufunushi ubwapala ubwa balya bena Israele. (Amapinda 27:20) Lintu ifikwatwa fyakatamikwa sana, calyanguka ukutendeka inshila sha bufumfuntungu ku kusanga indalama. Umo ukwabula no bwafya kuti aikatwa no kutendeka amakwebo yatwishikwa nelyo ukulacitako fimo ifya kunonka bwangu ifishalinga. “Uwendesha ukuti acindame talingwa wa kaele.” (Amapinda 28:20) Fintu cacindama kanshi ukuteke mitima kuli fyo fine tukwete!—1 Timote 6:8.
Ifiteyo fya Kwangala Kwatwishikwa
21. Ni membu nshi Esaya asenuka mu kalanda ka bubili?
21 Esaya nomba alanda pa kalanda ka bubili: “Kalanda ku bacelelo lucelocelo, basupile ca kunwa icikola, abakokola ukufika ku macaca wasuka umwangashi wababimbule mitima. Kwaba na nsango ne pango, akaoma ne cimpeta, no mwangashi, ku mitebeto yabo. Lelo umulimo wa kwa Yehova tabawangwa, ne cacitwa ku minwe yakwe tabacimona.”—Esaya 5:11, 12.
22. Kuipoosaika kwa musango nshi kwaba mu Israele, kabili cinshi cikacitikila ulu luko?
22 Yehova ni “Lesa wa nsansa” uushikaanya ababomfi bakwe umusamwe walinga. (1 Timote 1:11, NW) Lelo aba bena bacishamo ukufwaya umusamwe! Baibolo itila “abakolwa bakolwo bushiku.” (1 Abena Tesalonika 5:7) Lelo aba musamwe aba muli uku kusesema batendeka ukunwa lucelocelo ukufika no bushiku! Bacita kwati Lesa takwaba, kwati tengabalubulwisha pa fyo bacita. Esaya asobela ifyo cikababipila ku ntanshi. “Abantu bandi baulwilwa, pa mulandu wa kubulo kwishiba, abakata babo balefwa ku nsala, na ku cilaka cinkupiti wabo alyuma ku mikoshi.” (Esaya 5:13) Pa mulandu wa kufilwa ukucita icine baishiba, abantu Lesa apingana na bo icipingo—abantuuntu fye na basansabala—bakatentemukila ku Mbo.—Belengeni Esaya 5:14-17.
23, 24. Kuilama nshi no kulinga Abena Kristu bafwaikwa ukulangisha?
23 “Iciwowo,” nelyo “ukusefya kwa congo,” fyali bwafya na mu Bena Kristu ba mu mwanda wa myaka uwa kubalilapo. (Abena Galatia 5:21; Byington; 2 Petro 2:13) Te ca kupapa kanshi ukuti ilelo Abena Kristu bamo abaipeela balifilwa ukupingula bwino ukukuma ku kukumana kwa kwangalila pamo. Ukunwensha ubwalwa kwalilenga bamo ukuba ne cipongwe ne mpooma. (Amapinda 20:1) Kwaba fye na basenga bucisenene ilyo bakolwa, kabili bamo balacesha, bafilwa ukubomba ne milimo ya Bwina Kristu ubushiku bwakonkapo.
24 Lelo Abena Kristu bashikatala, balatwala ifisabo fya bukapepa kabili balailama no kuba abalinga pa lwa kukokoloka. Bomfwila ukupanda amano kwa kwa Paulo ukwa pa Abena Roma 13:13 ukutila: “Twende busaka busaka nga mu kasuba; te mu kukolwakolwa.”
Ukupata Ulubembu no Kutemwa Icishinka
25, 26. Kutontonkanya nshi ukubifi ukwa bena Israele uko Esaya asokolola mu bulanda abilisha ubwa butatu no bwalenga bune?
25 Umfweni nomba ubulanda bwa citatu no bwalenga cine Esaya abilisha: “Kalanda ku batinta amampuulu ku myando ya bufi, no lubembu nga ku mukungo we celeta, abatila, Aangufyanye, abombeshe umulimo wakwe, no kuleka tuumone! Kupalame no kwisa ukupanda amano kwa Wa mushilo wa kwa Israele, no kuleka tukwishibe. Kalanda ku basoselo bubi batila busuma, abasoselo busuma batila bubi; abatile mfifi lubuuto, abatilo lubuuto ni mfifi; abatile calula calilowa, abatile calowa calilula!”—Esaya 5:18-20.
26 Fintu ici calondolola bwino abacito lubembu! Bakakwa ku lubembu filya inama sha mulimo shikakwa ku fikocikala. Aba babembu tabatiina ubushiku bwa bupingushi ubuli bonse ubuleisa. Balapumya no kupumya abati: “[Lesa] aangufyanye, abombeshe umulimo wakwe.” Mu cifulo ca kuipetamika ku Mafunde ya kwa Lesa, balafulunganye fintu, “basoselo bubi batila busuma, . . . ubusuma batila bubi.”—Linganyeniko Yeremia 6:15; 2 Petro 3:3-7.
27. Ni shani ifyo Abena Kristu lelo bengasengauka imibele yaba nge ya bena Israele?
27 Abena Kristu lelo bafwile ukusengauka iyo mibele nangu cibe shani. Ku ca kumwenako, aba pano calo batila ubulalelale no kulaalana kwa baume na baume, abanakashi na banakashi kwaliba fye bwino. Lelo Abena Kristu tabasumine co. (Abena Efese 4:18, 19) Ca cine ukuti Umwina Kristu kuti “asangilishiwa mu bubi bumo” ubwa lubembu lwabipisha. (Abena Galatia 6:1) Baeluda mu cilonganino baliba abaiteyanya ukwafwa abacito lubembu lelo abafwaya ukwafwa. (Yakobo 5:14, 15) Umo kuti apuupuutuka lwa ku mupashi ukupitila mu kwafwa kwa mapepo no kufunda kwashimpwa pali Baibolo. Nga te ifyo, kuti aba “umusha (wa lubembu).” (Yohane 8:34) Mu cifulo ca kusenteka Lesa no kulabako ku bushiku bwa bupingushi ubuleisa, Abena Kristu balatukusha ukutwalilila “ababula akabi kabili ababula akalema” pa cinso ca kwa Yehova.—2 Petro 3:14; Abena Galatia 6:7, 8.
28. Ni membu nshi Esaya asenuka mu bulanda abilishe ubwa kupelako, kabili ni shani Abena Kristu lelo bengasengauka isho membu?
28 Calinga ukuti Esaya alundeko ubu bulanda bwa kulekelesha: “Kalanda ku baba aba mano mu menso yabo abene, ababa aba mucetekanya ku mulola wa finso fyabo abene. Kalanda ku bali abakosa ku kunwo mwangashi abali amalamba ya baume ku kusakanye ca kunwe cikola, abapeele nsambu ku mbifi pa mulandu we fisakanwa, no bulungami bwa balungama babufumya pali bene.” (Esaya 5:21-23) Napamo abaleebwa pano bapingushi ba mu calo. Baeluda ba mu filonganino lelo balasengauka ukuimona “aba mano mu menso yabo abene.” Balaicefya no kumfwila ilyo baeluda banabo babafunda kabili balakakatila ku makambisho ya kuteyanya. (Amapinda 1:5; 1 Abena Korinti 14:33) Banwa fye mu kulinga, kabili tabanwa ilyo bali no kubomba imilimo ya cilonganino. (Hosea 4:11) Baeluda tabacita umusoobolola kabili tabafwaya no kucite fingamoneka ngo musoobolola. (Yakobo 2:9) Fintu bapusana na bashimapepo ba mu Kristendomu! Balafisa aba maka na ba cuma ababembu mu kati kabo, mu kupusaninina fye no kusoka kwa mutumwa Paulo ukwa pa Abena Roma 1:18, 26, 27; 1 Abena Korinti 6:9, 10; na pa Abena Efese 5:3-5.
29. Ni mpela nshi iya kayofi iili no kwishila abena Israele abali e bala lya myangashi ilya kwa Yehova?
29 Pa kusondwelela ubu bukombe bwa mu kusesema Esaya alondolola impela ya kayofi ku “bakaana amalango ya kwa Yehova” no kufilwa ukutwala ifisabo fya bulungami. (Esaya 5:24, 25; Hosea 9:16; Malaki 4:1) Abilisha ati: “[Yehova] asumbwilo luko lwa kutali ilamfya, alulishisho munsoli ukufuma ku mpela ya calo; baisa bwangu, baiso lubilo.”—Esaya 5:26; Amalango 28:49; Yeremia 5:15.
30. Nani akakunganya “uluko lwa kutali” ku kulwisha abantu ba kwa Yehova, kabili cikaba shani?
30 Ku kale umulongoti wabikwa apasumbuka walebomba nge “lamfya,” nelyo ukwa kuyakunganina, abantu nelyo ifita. (Linganyeniko Esaya 18:3; Yeremia 51:27.) Nomba Yehova umwine e ukakunganya ulu “luko lwa kutali” ulushalumbulwa, ukuti lukesecita ubupingushi bwakwe.b ‘Akalulishisho munsoli,’ e kuti, ukulucebusha ukuti lusanse abantu bakwe abatalansuka. Esaya nomba alondolola ukusansa kwayangufyanya kabili ukwa kutiinya ukwa aba bakacimfya basansa nge nkalamo abali no ‘kwikate ca kutaakanya,’ e kuti, uluko lwa kwa Lesa, “no kucitwala apafisama” muli bunkole. (Belengeni Esaya 5:27-30a.) We bulanda ku calo ca bantu ba kwa Yehova! “Ngo muntu alolesha pa calo, moneni, imfifi ya kumanama, no lubuuto lwaba ulwafiita mu makumbi ya ciko.”—Esaya 5:30b.
31. Bushe Abena Kristu ba cine kuti basengauka shani ukukanda kwakandilweko abena Israele abali e bala lya myangashi ilya kwa Yehova?
31 Cine cine, ibala lya myangashi ilyo Lesa mu kutemwa alimbile lyapukuta—lyalinga fye ukonaulwa. Mwandi aya mashiwi ya kwa Esaya yabamo isambililo ilituntulu kuli bonse abafwaya ukubombela Yehova lelo! Shi nabatukushe ukutwala fye ifisabo fya bulungami, ukuti Yehova alumbanishiwe no kuti bakesepusuka!
[Amafutunoti]
a Abasoma bamo batila imitanda pamo nge nsakwe, nelyo imisakuta e fyaseekele ukucila impungu sha mabwe. (Esaya 1:8) Mwi “bala lya myangashi” nga mwaba ulupungu ninshi cilelangilila ifyo umwine abombeshe icine cine ku kulicingilila.
b Mu kusesema kumbi, Esaya alumbula Babele ukuti e luko lukacita ubupingushi bwa konaula ubwa kwa Yehova pali Yuda.
