MOSE akulile mu ng’anda ya kwa Farao kabili asambilishiwe amano ayalesambilila abana ba mfumu aba ku Egupti. Lelo Mose alishibe ukuti taali mwina Egupti. Abafyashi bakwe baali baHebere. Ilyo aali ne myaka 40, aile ku kupempula bamunyina, abena Israele. Ilyo Mose amwene umwina Egupti alecusha umuHebere, tasuulileko fye iyo. Apamine umwina Egupti no kumwipaya. Mose asalile ukuba ku lubali lwa kwa Yehova kabili atontonkenye ukuti Lesa alemubomfya ku kulubula bamunyina. (Imilimo 7:21-25; AbaHebere 11:24, 25) Ilyo ici caishibikwe, ababomfi ba kwi sano lya mu Egupti bamwene Mose ukuti ni cipondoka, e co kanshi alifulumwike ku kupususha umweo wakwe. (Ukufuma 2:11-15) Mose alekabila ukwishiba bwino imibele ya kwa Yehova pa kuti Lesa amubomfye. Bushe Mose akasumina ukusambilila iyi mibele?—Amalumbo 25:9.
2 Imyaka yakonkelepo 40, Mose aali fye imbutushi kabili kacema. Ukucila ukukalifiwa pa mulandu wa kuti abaHebere banankwe tabamupooseleko mano, Mose apokelele ifyalefwaya Lesa. Nangu ca kutila imyaka iingi yalipitile ukwabula ukuti Mose eshibikwe, alekele Yehova ukumusambilisha. Mu kuya kwa nshita, Mose alembele ati: “Uyo muntu Mose ali uwafuukisha ukucilamo mu bantu bonse aba pano isonde.” (Impendwa 12:3) Uku takwali kuitakisha iyo lelo alembele aya mashiwi pa kupuutwamo no mupashi wa mushilo uwa kwa Lesa. Yehova abomfeshe Mose mu nshila shaibela. Na ifwe nga twafwaya ubufuuke, Yehova akatupaala.—Sefania 2:3.
Apeelwa Umulimo
3, 4. (a) Mulimo nshi Yehova apeele Mose? (b) Kwafwa nshi kwapeelwe kuli Mose?
3 Bushiku bumo malaika uwalelandilako Yehova alandile kuli Mose pa lupili lwa Horebu mu cofi ca Sinai. Malaika aebele Mose ati: “Ukumona namono kucululuka kwa bantu bandi abali mu Egupti, naumfwa ne nkuuta yabo pa cinso ca babacikilisha; pantu naishibo kukalipwa kwabo; kabili ninjika ku kubapokolola mu minwe ya bena Egupti, no kubaninika ukubafumya mu calo cilya no kubatwala ku calo cisuma kabili icapabuka, ku calo icilefumfumune shiba no buci.” (Ukufuma 3:2, 7, 8) E ico, Lesa apeele Mose umulimo wa kubomba, lelo walekabila ukubombwa mu nshila ya kwa Yehova.
4 Malaika wa kwa Yehova akonkenyepo kusosa ati: “Nomba enda, ndekutuma kuli Farao, ukafumya na bantu bandi abana ba kwa Israele mu Egupti.” Mose alishimunwike. Alemona ukuti tafikilepo. Lelo, Yehova amukoseleshe ukuti: “Nakulaba nobe.” (Ukufuma 3:10-12) Yehova apeele Mose amaka ya kucite fipesha mano ifyali no kushininkisha ukuti cine cine atuminwe na Lesa. Munyina kwa Mose, Aarone, aebelwe ukuya na Mose ngo wa kumulandilako. Yehova aali no kubasambilisha ifya kusosa no kucita. (Ukufuma 4:1-17) Bushe Mose aali no kubombo uyu mulimo muli bucishinka?
5. Mulandu nshi ukutontonkanya kwa bena Israele kwabelele bwesho kuli Mose?
5 Abaume bakalamba aba mu Israele pa kubala balisumine ifyasosele Mose na Aarone. (Ukufuma 4:29-31) Lelo, tapapitile sana inshita, “bacilolo ba bana ba kwa Israele” bapeele Mose na Aarone munyina umulandu pa kulenga ‘icena cabo ukupimpinuke cibi’ mu menso ya kwa Farao na babomfi bakwe. (Ukufuma 5:19-21; 6:9) Ilyo abena Israele balefuma mu Egupti, balitiinine pa kumona amaceleta ya bena Egupti yalebakonka pa numa. Ku ntanshi yabo kwali Bemba Wakashika e lyo ku numa na ko kwali amaceleta ya nkondo. Cali kwati abena Israele bacilikilwa pa kati, kabili bapeele Mose umulandu. Aciba ni mwe nga mwacitile shani? Nangu ca kutila abena Israele tabakwete amato, ukupitila muli Mose Yehova aebele abantu ukulonge fipe no kutendeko bulendo. Lyena Lesa aseseshe amenshi ya muli Bemba Wakashika, no mulimba walyumine ica kuti abena Israele balyabwike bwino bwino.—Ukufuma 14:1-22.
Icacindama Ukucila pa Kulubulwa
6. Cinshi Yehova akomailepo ilyo alepeela Mose umulimo?
6 Ilyo Yehova alepeela Mose umulimo, akomaile sana pa bucindami bwe shina Lyakwe. Ukucindika lilye shina no Mwine wa liko kwalicindeme. Ilyo Mose aipwishe Yehova ishina lyakwe, Yehova atile: “Nkaba uo nkaba.” (NW) Kabili Mose aebelwe ukuyasosa ku bana ba kwa Israele ati: “Yehova Lesa wa bashinwe, Lesa wa kwa Abrahamu, Lesa wa kwa Isaki, kabili Lesa wa kwa Yakobo, antuma njise kuli imwe.” Yehova alundilepo no kuti: “Ili e shina lyandi umuyayaya, kabili ici e ciibukisho candi ku nkulo ne nkulo.” (Ukufuma 3:13-15) Na ino ine nshita Yehova e shina ilyo ababomfi ba kwa Lesa isonde lyonse bamwishibilako.—Esaya 12:4, 5; 43:10-12.
7. Cinshi Lesa akoseleshe Mose ukucita te mulandu no bumankonso bwa kwa Farao?
7 Pa ntanshi ya kwa Farao, Mose na Aarone bafishishe ubukombe bwabo mwi shina lya kwa Yehova. Lelo mu bumankonso Farao atile: “Nani Yehova, uo ng’umfwe ishiwi lyakwe ku kuleka Israele aye? Yehova nshimwishibe; kabili na Israele nshakamuleke aye iyo.” (Ukufuma 5:1, 2) Farao alangile ukuti aali nkosa mutwe kabili kabepa, na lyo line Yehova akoseleshe Mose ukubwelelako imiku iingi no bukombe bumo bwine. (Ukufuma 7:14-16, 20-23; 8:1, 2, 20) Mose alimwene ukuti Farao alikalifiwe. Bushe mu kutwalilila ukuyako mwali no kutumbuka ifisuma? Abena Israele balefwaisha ukulubulwa. Farao akaaninine fye ndai. Aciba ni mwe, nga mwacitile shani?
8. Bunonshi nshi bwaishileko pa mulandu ne nshila Yehova acitilemo ifintu kuli Farao, kabili ifyo acitile fifwile ukutukuma shani?
8 Mose alibweleleko na kabili no bukombe bumbi, ati: “E fyo Yehova Lesa wa baHebere atila, Leka abantu bandi baye, ku kumombela.” Na kabili Lesa atile: “Nomba nga natambiko kuboko kwandi, no kuuma iwe na bantu bobe ku cikuko; iwe kuti wafumiwa pe sonde. Lelo cine cine ni pali ici nakwimikila, pa kuti umone amaka yandi, kabili ku kulenge shina lyandi ukulumbulwa mu calo conse.” (Ukufuma 9:13-16) Ku co Yehova ali no kucita kuli Farao nkosa mutwe, alefwaya ukulanga amaka yakwe mu nshila iyali no kusoka bonse abalefwaya ukutalama kuli wena. Aba balesanshamo Satana Kaseebanya, uo Yesu Kristu pa numa aitile ati “kateeka wa pano calo.” (Yohane 14:30; Abena Roma 9:17-24) Nge fyo casobelwe, ishina lya kwa Yehova lyalibililwe isonde lyonse. Ukushishimisha uko Yehova ashishimishe kwalengele ukuti abena Israele balubulwe na cintobentobe wa bantu bambi abengi abailundile kuli bena ku kupepa Yehova. (Ukufuma 9:20, 21; 12:37, 38) Ukutula ilya nshita, ukubile shina lya kwa Yehova kwalinonsha abantu abengi nga nshi na bambi abapokelela ukupepa kwa cine.
Ukubomba na Bantu Abayafya
9. Abantu abo Mose umwine aletungulula balangile shani imisuula kuli Yehova?

Bwangu bwangu fye pa numa Yehova alubwile abena Israele ukubafumya mu Egupti, cinshi cacitike ilyo bafililwe ukusanga amenshi ya kunwa? Bang’wintiile Mose. Lyena bailishenye ukuti ifya kulya tafyali bwino. Mose abacinkwileko ukuti tabaleng’wintila wena na Aarone epela lelo uo baleng’wintila ni Yehova. (Ukufuma 15:22-24; 16:2-12) Pa Lupili lwa Sinai, Yehova apeele abena Israele Amafunde e lyo abikilepo no kucita ifipesha mano. Lelo muli bumpulamafunde abantu bapangile umwana wa ng’ombe no kumupepa abati “mutebeto we lambo kuli Yehova.”—Ukufuma 32:1-9.
10. Mulandu nshi bakangalila Abena Kristu pali lelo bafwile ukupooselako amano ku fyo Mose alombele pa Ukufuma 33:13?
10 Mose ali no kubomba shani na bantu abo Yehova umwine alondolwele ukuti bali abatalame mikoshi? Mose apaapeete Yehova ati: “Nga ninsango kusenaminwa mu menso yenu, shi lekeni njishibe imibele yenu, ukuti imwishibe ku kuleka nsange ukusenaminwa mu menso yenu.” (Ukufuma 33:13) Pa kusakamana Inte sha kwa Yehova isha pali lelo, bakangalila Abena Kristu bacema umukuni wa bantu abaicefya nga nshi ukupusanako na bena Israele. Na lyo line, balapepa abati: “Inshila shenu munenge ukushishiba, mwe Yehova; no mwa kuya mwenu munsambilishe.” (Amalumbo 25:4) Ukwishiba imibele ya kwa Yehova kulenga bakangalila ukubombela pa fintu mu nshila iileumfwana ne Cebo ca kwa Lesa e lyo ne mibele yakwe.
Ico Yehova Enekela ku Bantu Bakwe
11. Fintu nshi ifya kukonka Yehova apeele Mose, kabili mulandu nshi na ifwe tufwile ukufishibila?

Ilyo atentemwike ulupili, amwene abena Israele balepepa umwana wa ng’ombe uwaengwa kabili mu bukali apoosele ifipaapaatu pa nshi, no kufitobaula. Na kabili Yehova alembele Amafunde Ikumi pa fipaapaatu fya mabwe ifyo Mose abashile. (Ukufuma 32:19; 34:1) Aya mafunde tayapuseneko kuli yalya aya pa kubala. Mose alekabila ukuyakonka sana. Kabili Lesa alengele Mose ukwishiba umusango wa kwa Lesa Aba, ne ci calangile Mose ifya kuisunga ilyo aleimininako Yehova. Abena Kristu tabali bena Malango, lelo mu fyo Yehova aebele Mose mwali ifishinte ifingi ifishayaluka kabili ifitwalilila ukubomba kuli bonse abapepa Yehova. (Abena Roma 6:14; 13:8-10) Natumoneko fimo fimo.
12. Bushe filya Yehova alefwaya ukulapepwa fye eka cali no kukuma shani abena Israele?
12 Pepeni Yehova epela. Abena Israele baliyumfwilile abene ilyo Yehova asosele ukuti e o bafwile ukupepa eka fye. (Ukufuma 20:2-5) Abena Israele balimwene ubushininkisho ubwingi ubwa kuti Yehova e Lesa wa cine.

Tabali no kulamubombela fye cikulu kumubombela. Bonse bene bali no kutemwa Yehova no mutima wabo onse, umweo wabo onse, na maka yabo yonse. (Amalango 6:5, 6) Ici casanshishemo imilandile yabo, imyendele yabo—e kutila, imikalile yabo yonse. (Ubwina Lebi 20:27; 24:15, 16; 26:1) Yesu Kristu na o alilondolwele bwino bwino ukuti Yehova e ufwile fye ukupepwa epela.—Marko 12:28-30; Luka 4:8.
13. Mulandu nshi abena Israele balekabila ukumfwila sana Lesa, kabili cinshi cifwile ukutucincisha ukumumfwila? (Lukala Milandu 12:13)
13 Umfwileni sana amafunde ya kwa Yehova. Abena Israele balekabila ukucinkulwako ukuti ilyo bapangene na Yehova icipangano, basumine ukumfwila fyonse ifyo alandile. Ubuntungwa bwa kucita ifyo balefwaya bwena balikwete, lelo balekabila sana ukumfwila amafunde ya kwa Yehova. Nga bacite fyo cali no kulangilila ukuti balitemenwe Lesa kabili baali no kunonkelamo pamo pene na bana babo pantu amafunde ya kwa Yehova yonse yabeleleko ukuti cibawamine.—Ukufuma 19:5-8; Amalango 5:27-33; 11:22, 23.
14. Lesa alengele shani abena Israele ukwishiba ubucindami bwa kutangishako ifya ku mupashi?
14 Tangisheniko ifya ku mupashi. Abena Israele tabali na kuleka imilimo yabo iya ku mubili ukufimbilikisha ifya ku mupashi. Imikalile ya bena Israele tayali no kuba ya kukonkelela fye ifya ku mubili. Yehova atantike inshita imo mu mulungu iyo atile yalishila, iifwile fye ukubomfiwa ku fikumine ukupepa Lesa wa cine. (Ukufuma 35:1-3; Impendwa 15:32-36) Cila mwaka, kwali inshita yasalilwe iya kusangwa ku kulongana kwa mushilo. (Ubwina Lebi 23:4-44) Pali iyi nshita kwaleba amashuko ya kulanshanya imilimo ya maka iya kwa Yehova, ukucinkulwako ulwa mibele yakwe, no kumutasha pa busuma bwakwe bonse. Ilyo abantu balelango kuipeelesha kuli Yehova, akatiina kabo aka bukapepa no kutemwa fyalekulilako kabili ici calebafwa ukwendela mu mibele yakwe.

Ne co twingashininkishishako ca kuti, Lesa apeele abena Israele ifya ku mubili ne fya ku mupashi ifyo balekabila pa lwendo lwabo ulwa ku Calo Calaiwe.

Kanshi ababomfi bakwe aba pali ndakai bena bafwile no kucilapo ukukwatilana inkumbu!—Mateo 9:13; 18:21-35.
