“Ni Mwe Mweka Uwa Cishinka”

1, 2. Mulandu nshi cingasoselwa ati Imfumu Davidi yalishibe sana pa lwa kubulwa bucishinka?

IMFUMU DAVIDI yalishibe sana pa lwa kubulwa bucishinka. Inshita imo mu kuteka kwakwe ukwa cimpungili, aba mu luko lwakwe bacitile amapange ya kumwipaya. Kabinge, Davidi alifutwikwe kuli bamo abo aleti fibusa fyacetekelwa. Tontonkanyeni pali Mikali, mukolo wa kwa Davidi. Pa kubala, “atemenwe Davidi,” ukwabula no kutwishika alemutungilila na mu mitekele yakwe. Lelo pa numa, “amusuulile mu mutima wakwe,” alamona Davidi no kuti ni “umo uwa mu bawelewele.”—1 Samwele 18:20; 2 Samwele 6:16, 20.

² Lyene kwali Ahitofele, impanda mano ya kwa Davidi. Amano alepanda yalicindikwe sana kwati yalefuma fye kuli Yehova. (2 Samwele 16:23) Lelo mu kuya kwa nshita, uyu muntu wacetekelwe asangwike shikamfutu no kwikatana na bapondokele Davidi. Nga nani wasongelekenye uku kupangila imfumu? Ni Abishalomu, umwana wa kwa Davidi uwa kuifyalila! Ilya ncenjeshi ‘yaibile imitima ya bena Israele,’ ukuininikisha ku kulwisha imfumu. Ukupondoka kwa kwa Abishalomu kwaile kuleluminako ica kuti Imfumu Davidi tayakwete mwa kulosha kano fye ukufulumuka nga ipusuka.—2 Samwele 15:1-6, 12-17.

 3. Kucetekela nshi Davidi ali na ko?

³ Bushe takwali nangu umo uwatwalilile uwa cishinka kuli Davidi? Mu kucululuka kwakwe konse, Davidi alishibe ukuti kwali uwa cishinka kuli wene. Nani? Ni Yehova Lesa eka. Davidi asosele pa lwa kwa Yehova ati: “Ku muntu wa cishinka muli ba cishinka.” (2 Samwele 22:26, NW) Bushe bucishinka cinshi, kabili Yehova aba shani ica kumwenako capulamo ica bucishinka?

Bucishinka Cinshi?

4, 5. (a) “Bucishinka” cinshi? (b) Bushe ukushintililwapo kwa fintu fishipeema kwapusana shani na bucishinka bwa bantu?

⁴ Ishiwi lya kuti “bucishinka” nga fintu libomfiwa mu Malembo ya ciHebere lipilibula icikuku icilambatila ku cintu cimo mpaka ubufwayo bwa ciko ukukuma kuli co cintu bwacitika. Umuntu wa cishinka muntu wa kutemwa. Lelo, kemba wa malumbo aitile umweshi ati “inte iili mwi ulu ya cishinka” pantu taufilwa ukumoneka mu nshita mu nshita ubushiku. (Amalumbo 89:37) Kanshi kuti twatila umweshi wa cishinka, walishintililwapo. Lelo umweshi te kuti ube uwa cishinka nga filya umuntu engaba uwa cishinka. Mulandu nshi? Pantu bucishinka bwa muntu bubamo no kutemwa, nomba ifintu fishipeema te kuti fikwate bucishinka bwabamo ukutemwa.

⁵ Ukulingana na Malembo, bucishinka bwabamo ne citemwishi. Ukubapo fye kwa bucishinka kulanga ukuti paliba bucibusa pa uli ne cishinka na untu aliko uwa cishinka. Bucishinka bwa ifyo te bwa bumyalumyalu. Tabwaba nga mabimbi ya bemba ayalola fye ukwalolo mwela. Lelo, bucishinka, nelyo ukutemwa kwa cishinka, bwalishikatala kabili bwaba no bukose bwa kucimfya ifipindami fyayansha nga nshi.

 6. (a) Bushe bucishinka bwacepa shani mu bantu muno nshiku, kabili ici calangililwa shani mu Baibolo? (b) Ni nshila nshi iyawamisha iya kusambilila umwalola bucishinka, kabili mulandu nshi iyo nshila yawamisha?

⁶ Ca cine ukuti bucishinka bwa musango yo tabumonwamonwa muno nshiku. Ilingi line, abanabo “bafwayo kubongolola abanabo tupimfya tupimfya.” Tulomfwa libili libili uko abaupana basha abena mwabo. (Amapinda 18:24, NW; Malaki 2:14-16) Ubucenjeshi bwalifula ica kuti napamo na ifwe kuti twasosa ifyasosele kasesema Mika ati: “Aliloba [uwa cishinka, NW] ukufuma pano isonde.” (Mika 7:2) Nangula abantunse balafilwa ukulanga ukutemwa kwa cishinka, bucishinka e bwapulamo sana muli Yehova. Na kuba, inshila yawamisha iya kusambilila bwino umwalola bucishinka kubebeta ifyo Yehova acita ifilanga bucishinka, ubwaba lubali lwacindama ulwa kutemwa kwakwe.

Bucishinka bwa kwa Yehova Ubushingalinganishiwako

7, 8. Kuti casoswa shani ukuti Yehova eka e wa cishinka?

⁷ Baibolo isosa pa lwa kwa Yehova aiti: “Ni mwe mweka uwa cishinka.” (Ukusokolola 15:4, NW) Kuti caba shani ifyo? Bushe abantunse na bamalaika inshita shimo tabalanga bucishinka ubwine bwine? (Yobo 1:1; Ukusokolola 4:8) Ni shani na pali Yesu Kristu? Bushe te “wa cishinka” mukalamba uwa kwa Lesa? (Amalumbo 16:10, NW) Nomba, kuti casoswa shani ukuti Yehova eka e wa cishinka?

⁸ Ica kubalilapo, ibukisheni ukuti bucishinka na bo bwine kutemwa. Apo “Lesa kutemwa”—e kutila aba e ca kumwenako cine ica kutemwa—nani engalanga bucishinka bwafikapo ukucila Yehova? (1 Yohane 4:8) Cine cine, bamalaika na bantunse kuti bakwatako imibele ya kwa Lesa, lelo ni Yehova fye eka e wa cishinka ukufikapo. Apo aba “Mukote wa nshiku ne nshiku,” alilanga ukutemwa kwa cishinka pa nshita yalepa ukucila icibumbwa conse, ica pe sonde atemwa mu muulu. (Daniele 7:9) Kanshi, Yehova e mwine wine wa bucishinka. Alanga iyi mibele ukucila pa cibumbwa icili conse. Moneni ifya kumwenako fimo.

 9. Bushe Yehova aba shani “uwa cishinka mu micitile yakwe yonse”?

⁹ Yehova “[wa cishinka, NW] mu micitile yakwe yonse.” (Amalumbo 145:17) Mu nshila nshi? Amalumbo 136 yalaasuka. Mulya, balilanda pa kupususha kwa kwa Yehova ukwingi, ukusanshako na kulya ukwa lulumbi ilyo apuswishe abena Israele pa kwabuka Bemba Wakashika. E lyo icikomo cimo na cimo ica ili lumbo cabamo na mashiwi ya kuti: “Pantu kwa muyayaya ukutemwa kwakwe ukwa cishinka.” (NW) Ili lumbo e po lili pa Amepusho ya Kutontonkanyapo pe bula 289. Ilyo mulebelenga ifyo fikomo, ukwabula no kutwishika inshila Yehova alangilemo ukutemwa kwa cishinka ku bantu bakwe ili no kumufika pa mutima. Cine cine, Yehova alalanga bucishinka ku babomfi bakwe pa kukutika ku kukuuta kwabo no kucitapo cimo pa nshita yalinga. (Amalumbo 34:6) Ukutemwa kwa cishinka uko Yehova atemwa ababomfi bakwe takupungaila kulila fye batwalilila aba cishinka kuli wene.

10. Bushe Yehova alanga shani bucishinka ukukuma ku fipimo fyakwe?

¹⁰ Yehova kabili alalanga bucishinka ku babomfi bakwe pa kwikatilila ku fipimo fyakwe. Yehova taba nga bantunse abakuntukilwa fye, wena tateluka pa fyo amona ifyalungama ne fyalubana. Mu myaka ne myaka, tateluka mu fyo amona ifintu pamo nga ukupupe mipashi, ukupepo tulubi, no kwipaya. Ukupitila muli kasesema Esaya, atile, “ukufika pa bukote, ni ne wine.” (Esaya 46:4) Kanshi kuti twacetekela ukuti tuli no kumona ubusuma nga tulekonka ubutungulushi bwaumfwika pa mibele isuma ubusangwa mu Cebo ca kwa Lesa.—Esaya 48:17-19.

11. Landenipo ifya kumwenako ifilanga ukuti Yehova wa cishinka mu kufishapo ifilayo alaya.

¹¹ Yehova alanga na bucishinka mu kufishapo ifyo alaya. Ilyo asobela cimo, cilacitika. E ico Yehova alondolwele ati: “Icebo candi icifuma mu kanwa kandi: tacakabwelele ibusha kuli ine, kano cacite co natemwa, no kushuka muli ico nacitumina.” (Esaya 55:11) Pa kufishapo ifyo asosa, Yehova alanga bucishinka ku bantu bakwe. Taleka fye balepembelela ifyo ashilepanga ukucita. Mu kufishapo ifyo asosa Yehova aishibikwa ukuti tatena, ica kuti umubomfi wakwe Yoshua asosele no kuti: “Tapawilepo nangu cimo ca mu fintu fyonse fisuma ifyo Yehova asosele ku ba ng’anda ya kwa Israele; conse caishilebapo.” (Yoshua 21:45) Kanshi kuti twacetekela ukuti tatwakatale atulengwe nsoni pantu Yehova tafilwa ukufishapo ifyo alaya.—Esaya 49:23; Abena Roma 5:5.

12, 13. Ni mu nshila nshi ukutemwa kwa cishinka ukwa kwa Yehova kwabela ‘ukwa muyayaya’?

¹² Nga fintu tumwene ku numa, Baibolo itweba ukuti ukutemwa kwa cishinka ukwa kwa Yehova ‘kwa muyayaya.’ (Amalumbo 136:1) Ni shani cingabe fyo? Ni mu kuti, ukulekelela Yehova alekelela imembu kulabelelela. Nga fintu twalandilepo mu Cipandwa 26, Yehova tabuukulula ifilubo fya kale ifyo alekelela umuntu. Apo “bonse nababembuka, kabili bapelebela ku bukata bwa kwa Lesa,” ifwe umo umo tufwile ukutasha pantu ukutemwa kwa cishinka ukwa kwa Yehova kwa muyayaya.—Abena Roma 3:23.

¹³ Lelo kwaba na mumbi umo ukutemwa kwa cishinka ukwa kwa Yehova kwaba ukwa muyayaya. Icebo cakwe cisoso kuti umulungami “aba ngo muti uwalimbwa pa tumilonga twa menshi, uutwale fisabo fya uko mu nshita ya fiko, kabili amabuula ya uko tayalokota; conse ico acita cikalengwo kushuka.” (Amalumbo 1:3) Elenganyeni umuti wafumba untu amabuula ya uko yashilokota! E fyo cikaba na kuli ifwe nga tulebekelwa icine cine mu Cebo ca kwa Lesa, ubumi bwesu bukalepa, bukaba ubwa mutende, kabili bukawama. Amapaalo ayo Yehova mu cishinka cakwe apeela ababomfi bakwe aba cishinka ya muyayaya. Cine cine, mu calo cipya ica bulungami ico Yehova akaleta, abantunse ba cumfwila bakaipakisha ukutemwa kwakwe ukwa cishinka ku ciyayaya.—Ukusokolola 21:3, 4.

Yehova “Talekelesha Aba Cishinka Bakwe”

14. Bushe Yehova alanga shani ukuti alatasha pali bucishinka bwa babomfi bakwe?

¹⁴ Yehova alilanga bucishinka bwakwe libili libili. Apo Yehova tateluka nangu panono, bucishinka bwakwe ku babomfi bakwe aba cishinka tabushibantukila. Kemba wa malumbo alembele ati: “Nali umwaice, nomba ninkota; lelo nshamona uwalungama nalekeleshiwa, nangu bufyashi bwakwe bulepule cilyo; pantu Yehova atemwo bupingushi, talekelesha [aba cishinka, NW] bakwe.” (Amalumbo 37:25, 28) Ca cine, apo Yehova e Kabumba, e walinga ukupepwa. (Ukusokolola 4:11) Nalyo line, apo Yehova wa cishinka, alakatamika sana imicitile yesu iya cishinka.—Malaki 3:16, 17.

15. Londololeni ifyo imicitile ya kwa Yehova ku bena Israele yalangile bucishinka bwakwe.

¹⁵ Pa mulandu wa kutemwa kwakwe ukwa cishinka, Yehova libili libili alaafwa abantu bakwe ilyo baba na mafya. Kemba wa malumbo atweba ati: “Alinde mitima ya [ba cishinka, NW] bakwe, abapokolola mu minwe ya babifi.” (Amalumbo 97:10) Tontonkanyeni pa fyo alecita ku bena Israele. Pa numa ya kubalubula mu cipesha amano ukwabuka Bemba Wakashika, abena Israele mu lwimbo baimbile Yehova babilishe ati: “Ku [kutemwa kwenu ukwa cishinka, NW] e ko mwatungulwila abantu abo mwalubwile.” (Ukufuma 15:13) Ukubalubula pali Bemba Wakashika cine cine kwalangile ukutemwa kwa cishinka ukwa kwa Yehova. E ico Mose aebele abena Israele ati: “Te pantu mwafulo kucila abantu na bantu bonse, te ico Yehova akondeele imwe no kumusala; pantu imwe mwali abacepesha pa bantu na bantu bonse; lelo pantu Yehova amutemwa, kabili pantu abako mulapo uo alapile kuli bashinwe, e co Yehova amufumisha ku kuboko ukwakosa, no kumulubula mu ng’anda ya busha, mu minwe ya kwa Farao imfumu ya Egupti.”—Amalango 7:7, 8.

16, 17. (a) Kukanatasha kwa musango nshi ukwa kupapusha abena Israele bali na ko, lelo Yehova ababelele shani uluse? (b) Abena Israele abengi balangishe shani ukuti ‘takwali ukuundapa’ kuli bene, kabili ici citusoka shani?

¹⁶ Kwena, abena Israele bonse pamo ngo luko balifililwe ukutasha Yehova pa kutemwa kwakwe ukwa cishinka, pantu pa numa ya kulubulwa kwabo, “balebwekeshapo ukubembuka kuli [Yehova], ukutalama ku Wapulamo.” (Amalumbo 78:17) Mu kupita kwa myaka, balitaleme imiku ne miku, ukusha Yehova no kuyapepa balesa ba bufi no kucita imicitile ya basenshi iyabakoweseshe fye. Nalyo line, Yehova tapashile icipingo cakwe. Ukucila ukucite fyo, apaapeete abantu bakwe ukupitila muli kasesema Yeremia ati: “Bwela, we Israele uwafutatuka, . . . nshakakuloleshe bukali bukali, pantu ndi wa [cishinka, NW].” (Yeremia 3:12) Lelo, nga fintu casoselwe mu Cipandwa 25, abena Israele abengi tabacitilepo nangu cimo. Na kuba, “balepumye nkombe sha kwa Lesa, kabili balesuule fyebo fyakwe, kabili balesenteka bakasesema.” Cinshi cacitike? Casukile “icipyu ca kwa Yehova caimina abantu, ukufiko kwabulo kuundapa.”—2 Imilandu 36:15, 16.

¹⁷ Cinshi twasambilila kuli ci? Twasambilila ukuti bucishinka bwa kwa Yehova te bwa kukanaishiba kabili tabubepwa. Ca cine ukuti Yehova ‘afulisha [ukutemwa kwa cishinka, NW],’ kabili atemwa ukuba ne nkumbu nga pali umulandu wa kucitile nkumbu. Lelo ciba shani nga ca kuti kacita wa fibi mubifi uushingaaluka? Nga cabe fyo, Yehova akakatila ku fipimo fyakwe ifyalungama kabili alakanda uwabe fyo. Nga fintu Mose aebelwe, “ababi [Yehova] takabalinge aba kaele nangu pamo.”—Ukufuma 34:6, 7.

18, 19. (a) Bushe ifi Yehova afwaya ukukanda ababifi cishininkisha shani bucishinka bwakwe? (b) Bushe Yehova akalanga shani bucishinka ku babomfi bakwe abapakaswa mpaka ne mfwa?

¹⁸ Ukukanda Lesa akanda ababifi na ko kwaba ni bucishinka. Kwaba shani ifyo? Ukulangilila kumo kwaba mwi buuku lya Ukusokolola mu fintu Yehova aebele bamalaika 7 ati: “Kabiyeni, kapongolweleni mu calo inweno cinelubali [7] isha cipyu ca kwa Lesa.” Ilyo malaika wa citatu apongolwelele ica mu lunweno lwakwe “mu mumana na mu tumfukumfuku twa menshi,” fyaishilebo mulopa. E lyo uyu malaika asosa kuli Yehova ati: “Mwalilungama, mwe balipo kabili mwe baalipo, mwe [Ba cishinka, NW], ico mupingwile ifyo; pa kuti basuumishe umulopa wa ba mushilo na bakesesema, na imwe mwabapeela ukunwo mulopa. Bawamino kucitwe fi.”—Ukusokolola 16:1-6.

¹⁹ Moneni ukuti pa kati ka ubo bukombe bwa bupingushi, malaika atila Yehova ‘Wa cishinka.’ Mulandu nshi? Pantu pa konaula ababifi, Yehova alelanga bucishinka ku babomfi bakwe, abengi aba muli bene abapakaswa mpaka ne mfwa. Yehova muli bucishinka amona aba nga ba mweo. Afuluka ukwisamona aba ba cishinka abafwa, kabili Baibolo ishininkisha ukuti ubufwayo bwakwe bwaba bwa kubabuusha, e cilambu cabo. (Yobo 14:14, 15) Yehova talaba ababomfi bakwe aba cishinka pantu fye balifwa. Lelo, “bonse baba aba mweo kuli wene.” (Luka 20:37, 38) Ubufwayo bwa kwa Yehova ubwa kubuusha bonse abo ebukisha bwaba bushininkisho bwine bwine ubwa kuti wa cishinka.

Ukutemwa kwa Cishinka Ukwa kwa Yehova Kwisula Inshila ya kwi Pusukilo

20. Bushe “ifipe fya luse” ni bani, kabili Yehova alanga shani bucishinka kuli bene?

²⁰ Ukufuma kale na kale, Yehova alilanga bucishinka bwapulamo ku bantunse aba cishinka. Na kuba, pa makana ya myaka, Yehova “ashipikisha no kutekanya ukwingi ku fipe fya bukali ifyapekaniwa ku kulola ku boni.” Mulandu nshi? “Ukuti asokolole ubucindami bwa bukata bwakwe pa fipe fya luse ifyapekanishiwe libela ku kumono bukata.” (Abena Roma 9:22, 23) Ifi “fipe fya luse” bantu balemenena ku kucita ubulungami abasubwa no mupashi wa mushilo ku kuba impyani shinankwe isha kwa Kristu mu Bufumu bwakwe. (Mateo 19:28) Pa kwiswila ifi fipe fya luse inshila ya kupusukilamo, Yehova atwalilile uwa cishinka kuli Abrahamu, untu apingene nankwe ici cipingo ca kuti: “Mu bufyashi bobe e mo shikaifwailo kupaalwa inko shonse isha pano isonde; pa kuti nuumfwe shiwi lyandi.”—Ukutendeka 22:18.

21. (a) Bushe Yehova alanga shani bucishinka kwi “bumba likalamba” abakwata icilolelo ca kwisafuma mu “bucushi bukalamba” ubuleisa? (b) Bushe bucishinka bwa kwa Yehova bulenga imwe ukucita nshi?

²¹ Yehova alanga bucishinka bwapalako kwi “bumba likalamba” abakwata icilolelo ca kwisafuma mu “bucushi bukalamba” no kwikala pali paradise wa pe sonde umuyayaya. (Ukusokolola 7:9, 10, 14) Nangula ababomfi bakwe tabapwililika, Yehova muli bucishinka abapeela ishuko lya kwikala muli paradise wa pe sonde umuyayaya. Acita shani ifyo? Ukupitila mu cilubula—icaba e kulanga kwakulisha ukwa bucishinka bwa kwa Yehova. (Yohane 3:16; Abena Roma 5:8) Bucishinka bwa kwa Yehova bulenga abo imitima yabo ifwaya ubulungami ukwisa kuli wene. (Yeremia 31:3) Bushe mulomfwa ukupalama kuli Yehova pali bucishinka bwine bwine alangisha na buntu ali no kulangisha? Apo tufwaya ukupalama kuli Lesa, natucitepo cimo pa kutemwa kwakwe ukupitila mu kukosha umupampamina wesu uwa kumubombela muli bucishinka.

Amepusho ya Kutontonkanyapo

1 Samwele 24:1-22 Bushe Davidi mu micitile yakwe ku Mfumu Shauli alangile shani bucishinka ubo Yehova akatamika?

Estere 3:7-9; 4:6-14 Bushe Estere alangishe shani bucishinka bwapala ubwa kwa Lesa ku bantu bakwe, nangula ukucite fyo nga kwalimwipaishe?

Amalumbo 136:1-26 Cinshi aya malumbo yatusambilisha pa kutemwa kwa cishinka ukwa kwa Yehova?
