Lyonse Poosa Pali Yehova Icisendo Cobe
ABENGI ilelo bayumfwa abafinininwa ne fisendo. Amafya ya fya ndalama, amafya ya mu lupwa aya kulengo kumanama, amalwele, ukukalipwa no kucululuka pa mulandu wa kutitikisha ne culukusu, no kucululuka kumbi ukwingi filapeleela ukupala ifimpelo fikalamba mu mikoshi yabo. Pa mbali ya uku kutitikisha kwa ku nse, bamo na kabili bayumfwa abafinininwa pa kuyumfwa aba fye kabili icifilwafilwa pa mulandu wa kukanapwililika kwabo kwine. Abengi balafwaya ukucimba no kuleko kuibikilishako. Ni shani fintu wingabomba mu kutunguluka lintu ifisendo fyamoneka ukuba nge fishingasendwa?
Pa nshita imo Davidi Imfumu ya Israele ayumfwile ukuti ukutitikisha kwapene kube ukushingasendwa. Ukulingana na Ilumbo 55, alikalifiwe nga nshi ku masakamika pa mulandu wa kutitikisha ne mpatila ifyalefuma ku balwani bakwe. Alipomponteke nga nshi no kututuma. Aleteta apakalamba no kuba uwa bulanda. (Ilumbo 55:2, 5, 17) Te mulandu no kumanama kwakwe konse, nangu cibe fyo, alisangile inshila ya kubombelamo. Mu nshila nshi? Ashintilile pali Lesa ku kwafwiwa. Apandileko bambi amano abengayumfwa mu nshila ayumfwililemo ukuti: “Poosa pali Yehova icisendo cobe icafina.”—Ilumbo 55:22.
Bushe aloseshe mwi pa kusoso kuti “poosa pali Yehova icisendo cobe icafina”? Bushe kuya fye kuli Yehova mwi pepo no kulumbulula ukusakamikwa kwesu? Nelyo bushe kuti twacitapo cimo fwe bene ku kwaafwa ukwilululako imibele? Ni shani nga ca kuti twayumfwa abashalinga nangu panono ukutununuka Yehova? Kuti twasanga cintu Davidi apilibwile pa kubebeta ifya kukumanya fimo afwile aibukishe mu kumonekesha lintu alembele ayo mashiwi.
Bomba Ifintu mu Bukose bwa kwa Yehova
Bushe uleibukisha fintu Galyati apuutile umwenso mu baume ba bulwi abena Israele? Uyu mwaume ipaka, uwalepele amamita ukucila 2.7, alibatiinishe. (1 Samwele 17:4-11, 24) Lelo Davidi tali na mwenso. Mulandu nshi? Pa mulandu wa kuti taeseshe ukulwisha Galyati mu bukose bwakwe umwine. Ukutula pa nshita asubilwe pamo nge mfumu ya ku ntanshi iya Israele, alekele umupashi wa kwa Lesa ukumutungulula no kumukosha muli fyonse ifyo acitile. (1 Samwele 16:13) E co aebele Galyati ukuti: “Ine naisa kuli iwe mwi shina lya kwa Yehova wa milalo, Lesa wa mitande ya kwa Israele, uo waseebanya. Ubwa lelo Yehova alekupeela mu minwe yandi.” (1 Samwele 17:45, 46) Davidi aali uwalamuka mu kubomfya ica kusukushilako amabwe, lelo kuti twashininkisha ukuti umupashi wa mushilo uwa kwa Yehova watungulwile ilibwe no kulilenga ukuba ilyakalipisha nga nshi kuli Galyati.—1 Samwele 17:48-51.
Davidi alibombele no ku kusonsomba kwakulisha mu kutunguluka kabili alicimfishe pa kucetekela ukuti Lesa aali no kumutungilila no kumukosha. Alilundulwile ukwampana kusuma, ukwa kucetekela muli Lesa. Ici ukwabula ukutwishika caishilekoshiwa lintu Yehova amupuswishe mu kubangilila. (1 Samwele 17:34-37) Ukupala Davidi, kuti wasungilila ukwampana kwa pa lobe ukwapalamisha kabili ukwakosa na Yehova no kucetekela mu kukumanina mu maka yakwe no kuitemenwa kwa kukukosha no kukutungilila mu mibele yonse.—Ilumbo 34:7, 8.
Bombesha Ukufika Apo Wingapesha ku Kupwisha Ubwafya
Nangu cibe fyo, ici tacilepilibula ukuti takwakabeko utushita twa kukalipwa kwashika, amasakamika, ukusanshako fye no mwenso, nga fintu Ilumbo 55 lilangilila mu kumonekesha. Ku ca kumwenako imyaka iingi pa numa ya kucetekela Yehova mu kushipa, Davidi atiinine cibi lintu alolenkene na balwani bakwe. Apusene ne Mfumu Shauli na muli fyo aali no kufulumuka ku kupususho bumi bwakwe. Esha ukwelenganya ukushikitika kwa mu nkuntu ici cifwile caletele pali Davidi, ifipusho ifyo pambi caimishe mu muntontonkanya wakwe pa lwa kufikilishiwa kwa mifwaile ya kwa Yehova. Na kabushe, aali nasubwa nge mfumu ya ku ntanshi iya Israele, lelo nomba aaleikala nge mbutushi mu matololo, ukusupilwa nge nama mpanga. Lintu aeseshe ukuuba mu mushi wa Gati, umushi wa ku mwabo uwa kwa Galyati, balimwishibe. Cinshi cafuminemo? Ubulondoloshi busoso kuti “atiinine icibi.”—1 Samwele 21:10-12.
Lelo talekele umwenso na masakamika yafulisha ukumucilikila ku kushintilila pali Yehova ku kwafwiwa. Ukulingana na Ilumbo 34 (ilyalembelwe pa numa ya kupita muli ici ca kukumanya), Davidi asosele ukuti: “Nafwaile Yehova, na o alinjaswike, na mu fya kunengo munsokwe fyonse alimpokolwele. Umulanda uyu alililile, na o Yehova alyumfwile, no kumupususha mu fya kumanama fyakwe fyonse.”—Ilumbo 34:4, 6.
Ukwabulo kutwishika, Yehova alimutungilile. Lelo mona ukuti Davidi taikele fye no kupembelela Yehova ukumupususha. Aishibe ukuti aalekabila ukubombesha ukufika apo engapesha ukulingana ne mibele aalimo pa kufuma muli bulya bwafya. Amwene ukuti ukuboko kwa kwa Yehova kwalemupokolola, lelo umwine wine alibombelepo, ukubepekesha ukuba uwapena pa kuti imfumu ya Gati taimwipeye. (1 Samwele 21:14–22:1) Na ifwe bene tulekabila ukubombesha ukufika apo twingapesha pa kubomba ne fisendo fyesu, ukucila ukupembelela fye Yehova ukutupokolola.—Yakobo 1:5, 6; 2:26.
Wilenga Ifisendo Fyobe Ukufininako
Pa numa Davidi asambilile isambililo na limbi, ilya kukalifya mu bumi bwakwe. Lyali lisambililo nshi? Ukuti inshita shimo shimo tulalenga ifisendo fyesu ukufininako. Pa numa ya kucimfya abaPelishiti, ifintu fyalibipile Davidi lintu aeseshe ukukuusha icipao ca cipingo ukucitwala ku Yerusalemu. Ubulondoloshi bulatweba fyonse ifyacitike ukuti: “E lyo Davidi aimine na ’bantu bonse abali nankwe, aile ku Baale-yuda ku kuninikako icipao ca kwa Lesa . . . Batekele icipao ca kwa Lesa pe celeta lipya. . . . Usa na Ahio, abana baume ba kwa Abinadabu, balekumbe celeta.”—2 Samwele 6:2, 3.
Ukubomfya iceleta ukusendelapo Icipao kwali kutoba amakambisho yonse ayo Yehova aali napeela ukukuma kuli cene. Calilondolwelwe bwino bwino ukuti aba kusenda basuminishiwa epela, abena Lebi ba mu bana ba kwa Kohati, e baali no kusenda Icipao pa mabeya yabo, ukubomfya imitembo iyalepishiwa mu mipeto iyapangilwe ku Cipao. (Ukufuma 25:13, 14; Impendwa 4:15, 19; 7:7-9) Ukusuula aya makambisho kwaleteleko akayofi. Lintu iŋombe shaletinta iceleta shapene shiponye icipao, Usa, uyo mu kumonekesha aali umwina Lebi lelo mu kushininkisha uushali shimapepo, alyangufyenye ukushikatalika Icipao kabili alipuminwe kuli Yehova pa kupama kwakwe.—2 Samwele 6:6, 7.
Davidi pamo nge mfumu alishingemweko ne ci cacitike. Ukwankulako kwakwe kulangishe fyo nangu fye ni abo abakwata ukwampana kusuma na Yehova pa tushita tumo kuti bayankulako mu kulubana ku mibele imo iya kwesha. Pa kubalilapo Davidi alikalipe. Lyene aiketwe umwenso. (2 Samwele 6:8, 9) Ukwampana kwakwe na Yehova ukwalimo ukucetekela kwalyeshiwe icabipisha. Pano e po camoneke ukuti alifililwe ukupoosa pali Yehova icisendo cakwe pa kufilwa ukukonka amakambisho yakwe. Bushe e fyo pambi ciba na kuli ifwe inshita shimo? Bushe inshita shimo tulapeela Yehova umulandu pa mafya ayo yesako pa mulandu wa kusuula amakambisho yakwe?—Amapinda 19:3.
Ukubomba ne Cisendo ca Kuyumfwa uwa Mulandu
Pa numa, Davidi ailetele umwine icisendo cishaikulila ica kuyumfwa uwa mulandu lintu abembwike icabipisha pa kutoba ifipimo fya kwa Yehova ifya mibele isuma. Pali aka kashita Davidi alifyumfyuntwike mu cishingamo cakwe ica kutungulula abaume ku bulwi. Ashele ku Yerusalemu ilyo bena baile ku kulwa. Ici catungulwile ku bwafya bwabipisha.—2 Samwele 11:1.
Imfumu Davidi yamwene Bati-sheba wayemba alesamba. Alibembwike nankwe, kabili Bati-sheba aliimite. (2 Samwele 11:2-5) Pa kwesha ukufimba pa lubembu lwakwe, apekenye ukuti umulume wakwe, Uria, abwelulukile ku Yerusalemu ukufuma ku cifulo ukwabelele ubulwi. Uria alikeene ukulaala no mukashi wakwe ilyo Israele aali mu bulwi. (2 Samwele 11:6-11) Nomba Davidi ayalukile ku nshila shabipisha kabili ishabamo bucenjeshi ku kufimba pa lubembu lwakwe. Apekenye ukuti abashilika banankwe aba kwa Uria bamubike mu cifulo ca kusansalikwa mu bulwi pa kuti engepaiwa. Ulo lwali lubembu lwa makankamike kabili ulushaibipila!—2 Samwele 11:12-17.
Mu kupelako, kwena, ico Davidi acitile calishibikwe, kabili alisansalikwe. (2 Samwele 12:7-12) Esho kwelenganya icipimo ca kubombomana no bulanda fintu Davidi afwile ayumfwile lintu aishileishiba ubupulumushi acitile pa mulandu fye wa kuti talamine ulunkumbwa lwakwe. Afwile alyanshiwe ku kupelebela kwakwe kwine, ukucilisha apantu mu kupalishako aali muntu uwalekuntukilwa bwangu sana. Afwile ayumfwile fye icinangwa ca cabe cabe!
Nangu cibe fyo, mu kwangufyanya Davidi asumine ububi bwakwe, ukweba kasesema Natani ukuti: “Nimembuka kuli Yehova.” (2 Samwele 12:13) Ilumbo 51 litweba ifyo ayumfwile na fintu apaapeete Yehova Lesa ukumusangulula no kumulekelela. Apepele ukuti: “Nsambeni bwino bwino ku mampuulu yandi, na ku lubembu lwandi nsangululeniko. Pantu ifya bupulumushi fyandi ine nalifiishiba; no lubembu lwandi luli pali ine pe.” (Ilumbo 51:2, 3) Apo alilapile mu cine cine, alibukulwile ukwampana kwakwe ukwakosa na Yehova. Davidi tatwalilile ukutontomesha pa kuyumfwa kwa bulanda na bu ca fye. Apoosele icisendo cakwe pali Yehova pa kusumina umulandu mu kuicefya, ukulangisha ukulapila ukwine kwine, no kupepa apakalamba ukuti Yehova amulekelele. Alinonkele cipya cipya ububile bwa kwa Lesa.—Ilumbo 51:7-12, 15-19.
Ukubomba na Bushikamfutu
Ici nomba catuleta ku cipande calengele ukuti Davidi alembe Ilumbo 55. Aali pe samba lya kukanshika kwa mu nkuntu ukwakulisha. Alembele ukuti: “Umutima wandi washikitika mu nda, ne fya kulengo munsokwe fya mfwa fyaponena pali ine.” (Ilumbo 55:4) Cinshi calengele uku kushikitika? Abishalomu, umwana wa kwa Davidi, aumene akapi ku kupokolola ubufumu ukufuma kuli Davidi. (2 Samwele 15:1-6) Ubu bushikamfutu ukufuma ku mwana wakwe wine bwali cisendo icafina ukusenda mu cine cine, lelo icalengele ukuti cicilenapo kufina cali ca kuti kabilo wacetekelwa nga nshi uwa kwa Davidi, umwaume we shina lya Ahitofele, ailundile ku kuumana akapi kwa kulwisha Davidi. Ahitofele e o Davidi alondolola pa Ilumbo 55:12-14. Pa mulandu wa uku kuumana akapi na bushikamfutu, Davidi alifulumwike ukufuma mu Yerusalemu. (2 Samwele 15:13, 14) Fintu ici cifwile camulengele ukushikitika!
Nalyo line, talekele ukupopomenwa kwakwe ukwakulisha no bulanda ukunenuna ukucetekela kwakwe ne subilo muli Yehova. Apepele ukuti Yehova afulunganye amapange ya baleumana akapi. (2 Samwele 15:30, 31) Na kabili twamona ukuti Davidi taikele fye no kupembelela Yehova ukubombo mulimo onse. Bwangu bwangu fye lintu akashita kamoneke, abombele ukufika apo engapesha ku kucincintila ukuumana akapi kwa kumulwisha. Atumine kabilo wakwe na umbi, Hushai, ukubwelela ku Yerusalemu ku kubepekesha ukuilunda ku baumene akapi, nangu cingati, mu cituntulu, aile ku kunenuna kwene. (2 Samwele 15:32-34) Mu kuba no kwaafwa kwa kwa Yehova, iyi nshila yalibombele. Hushai ashingashingishe inshita pa kuti Davidi engakosha ibumba lyakwe no kuisunsunkanya bwino bwino ku kuicingilila.—2 Samwele 17:14.
Fintu Davidi afwile atashishe ukucingilila kwa kwa Yehova capamo no kutekanya kwakwe no kuitemenwa kwa kulekelela ukupulinkana mu bumi bwakwe bonse! (Ilumbo 34:18, 19; 51:17) Cili ni pa kuba ne fi fyashingulukako e po Davidi mu kushipa atukoselesha mu nshita shesu isha kumanama ukwalukila kuli Yehova ku kwafwiwa, ‘ukupoosa pali Yehova icisendo cesu.’—Linganyako 1 Petro 5:6, 7.
Lundulula no Kusungilila Ukwampana Kwapalamisha, Ukwabamo Kucetekela Yehova
Ni shani fintu twinganonka ukwampana kwapalamisha ukupala kulya Davidi akwete na Yehova, ukwampana uko kwamutungilile mu nshita sha fya kwesha ifingi no kucula? Tulundulula ukwampana kwa musango yo pa kuba abasambi ba mukoosha aba Cebo ca kwa Lesa, Baibolo. Tuleka wene ukutusambilisha amalango yakwe, ifishinte, ne mibele. (Ilumbo 19:7-11) Ilyo tuleetetula pa Cebo ca kwa Lesa, tulapalamina kuli wene no kusambilila ukucetekela wene mu kukumanina. (Ilumbo 143:1-5) Tulakusha no kukosha uko kwampana ilyo tulebishanya na bakapepa banensu pa kusambilishiwa na Yehova mu kulundapo. (Ilumbo 122:1-4) Tulakusha ukwampana kwesu na Yehova ukupitila mwi pepo lya kufuma ku mutima.—Ilumbo 55:1.
Ca cine, Davidi, ukupala ifwe, alepopomenwa lintu ukwampana kwakwe na Yehova kushakosele nga fintu kwalingile ukuba. Ulumanimani kuti lwatulengo “kubo watumpa.” (Lukala Milandu 7:7) Lelo Yehova alamona icilecitika, kabili alishiba icaba mu mutima wesu. (Lukala Milandu 4:1; 5:8) Tulekabila ukubombesha sana pa kusungilila ukwampana kwesu na Yehova ukwakosa. Lyene, te mulandu ne fisendo ifili fyonse ifyo twasenda, kuti twashintilila pali Yehova ku kutwilululako ukukalipwa nelyo ukutupeela ubukose bwa kubomba ne mibele yesu. (Abena Filipi 4:6, 7, 13) Cashintilila pa kutwalilila ukuba abapalamisha kuli Yehova. Lintu Davidi acitile ci, alicingililwe umupwilapo.
E ico, te mulandu ne mibele yobe, Davidi atila lyonse poosa pali Yehova icisendo cobe. Lyene tuli no kuimwena bucine bwa bulayo bwa kuti: “Wene alekulama; pe fye takasuminishe uwalungama ukutelententa.”—Ilumbo 55:22.
