3 Yehova umwine e waba ica kumwenako mu kulango mucinshi. Abumbile abantunse ukuti baleisalila kabili tabamona kwati maroboti fye. (1 Petro 2:16) Ku ca kumwenako, lintu aebele Abrahamu ukuti Sodomu ali no konaulwa pa mulandu wa bubifi ubukalamba ubwalimo, Abrahamu aipwishe ati: “Bushe cine cine mukonawila abalungami pamo na babi? Nalimo muli abantu abalungami amakumi yasano mu kati ka musumba; bushe cine cine mukonaula palya pantu, no kukanalekelela pa mulandu wa balungami amakumi yasano?” Yehova ayaswike ukuti taali na konaula umusumba pa mulandu wa balungami 50. Abrahamu atwalilile fye ukupaapaata mu kuicefya. Atile, ni shani nga ca kuti muli fye abalungami 45? 40? 30? 20? 10? Yehova alaile Abrahamu ukuti takonaule Sodomu nga ca kuti mwasangwa fye nangu bantu 10.—Ukutendeka 18:20-33.
4 Yehova alishibe ukuti te balungami 10 abali mu Sodomu, lelo alangile umucinshi kuli Abrahamu pa kukutika ku fyo alelanda no kulanshanya nankwe mu mucinshi. Mulandu nshi? Pantu Abrahamu “atetekele Yehova; na o amulingile icitetekelo cakwe ukuti bulungami.” Abrahamu aitilwe “Cibusa wa kwa Lesa.” (Ukutendeka 15:6; Yakobo 2:23) Ukulundapo, Yehova alishibe ukuti Abrahamu ali uwa mucinshi kuli bambi. Lintu abacemi ba fitekwa fya kwa Abrahamu na ba kwa Lote umwana wa kwa munyina balekansanina pa mpanga, Abrahamu alangile umucinshi kuli Lote pa kumweba ukuti abalilepo ukusala incende iyo atemenwe. Lote asalilepo impanga iyo amwene ukuti e yawamisha, lyene Abrahamu aile ku mpanga imbi.—Ukutendeka 13:5-11.

Yehova atile kuli Lote: “Mona, nakusuminisha na kuli ici cintu, ndeleko kuwisho mushi uo wasosa.” Yehova alangile umucinshi kuli Lote wa busumino pa kumucitila ico alombele.—Ukutendeka 19:15-22; 2 Petro 2:6-9.
6. Ni shani Yehova alangile umucinshi kuli Mose?
6 Lintu Yehova atumine Mose ukubwelela ku Egupti ku kuyafumya abantu Bakwe mu busha no kuyalanda kuli Farao ukuti aleke abantu Bakwe baye, Mose ayaswike ati: “Mwe Shikulu, ine nshili muntu wa kulondolole fyebo.” Yehova alaile Mose ukuti: “Ine nkaba na kanwa kobe, no kukulange fyo ukasose.” Nalyo line Mose alishiimunwike. E lyo Yehova alaile Mose no kumupekanishisha munyina, Aarone, uwa kumulandilako.—Ukufuma 4:10-16.

8 Yesu alepashanya Yehova mu kulango mucinshi kuli bambi. Inshita imo mwi bumba, mwali umwanakashi uwalefumo mulopa pa myaka 12. Bashing’anga balifililwe ukumundapa. Ukulingana ne Funde lya kwa Mose, uyu mwanakashi ali uushasanguluka kabili talekabila no kuba palya. Aishile ku numa ya kwa Yesu, no kukumya kwi laya lyakwe, kabili alipolele. Yesu takoselele pe Funde lya kwa Mose, no kushimaula uyu mwanakashi pa co acitile. Lelo, pa kwishiba ifyalengele ukuti acite fyo, alimulangile umucinshi, atile kuli wene: “We mwana, icitetekelo cobe nacikuposha; kabiye umutende, kabili ube umutuntulu ku cipumo cobe.”—Marko 5:25-34; Ubwina Lebi 15:25-27.

9 Pa nshita na imbi, umwanakashi umwina Kanaani atile kuli Yesu: “Mbeleleni uluse, mwe Shikulu mwana Davidi. Umwana wandi umwanakashi naikatwe cibi ku ciwa.” Apo Yesu alishibe ukuti atuminwe ku luko lwa bena Israele te ku Bena fyalo, atile: “Tacifwile ukubuule cilyo ca bana [aba kwa Israele], no kupoosela utubwa [e kuti Abena fyalo].” Umwanakashi atile: “Cine cine, mwe Shikulu; lelo no tubwa tulalyapo utubufungau utupona kwi tebulo lya kwa shikulu wa tuko.” E lyo Yesu ayaswike ati: “We mwanakashi, icitetekelo cobe cikulu; cibe kuli iwe ifyo wafwaya.” Umwana wakwe umwanakashi alyundepwe. Ico Yesu aundapile uyu mwanakashi Umwina fyalo mulandu wa citetekelo cakwe. Nangu mibomfeshe yakwe iye shiwi lya kuti “utubwa,” mu cifulo ca kulosha ku mbwa ishikali, kwalengele umwanakashi ukukanaumfwo bubi kabili kwalangishe icililishi ca kwa Yesu.—Mateo 15:21-28, NW.
10. Lisambililo nshi ilikalamba Yesu asambilishe abasambi bakwe, kabili mulandu nshi lyakabilwe?
10 Yesu alitwalilile ukusambilisha abasambi bakwe pa lwa kuba abapetama na pa kulangisha umucinshi kuli bambi, apantu bali bacili no bwafya bwa kuituumika. Inshita imo pa numa bakansana, Yesu abepwishe ati: “Cinshi ico mwali muleipushanya mu nshila?” Batalele tondolo, pantu “bali ne fikansa mu nshila, abati, umukalamba nani?” (Marko 9:33, 34) Na pa nshita ya bushiku ilyo Yesu talafwa, “kwaimine ne fikansa muli bene ifya kuti nani pali bene uwalingwo kubo mukalamba.” (Luka 22:24) E co pa nshita ya ca kulya ca Kucilila, Yesu “aitile amenshi mu musambilo, atendeke ukusamba amakasa ya basambi.” Mwandi lyali lisambililo ilikalamba! Pantu Yesu ali Mwana wa kwa Lesa, kabili mu kubumbwa konse e wakonka pali Yehova. Lelo, ukupitila mu kusamba amakasa yabo asambilishe abasambi bakwe isambililo lya kuba no mucinshi kuli bambi. Abebele ukuti: “Imupeele ica kumulanga, ukuti na imwe mucite ifyo fine namucitila.”—Yohane 13:5-15.
Paulo Alilangile Umucinshi
11, 12. Pa numa ya kusanguka Umwina Kristu, cinshi Paulo asambilile, kabili abomfeshe shani ili sambililo ukukuma kuli Filemone?
11 Pamo nga uwalepashanya Kristu, umutumwa Paulo alilangile umucinshi kuli bambi. (1 Abena Korinti 11:1) Atile: “Tatwatalile atuba abafwayo mucinshi ku bantu . . . lelo twali abafuuka mu kati ka imwe, ngo uonsha uulelela abana bakwe bene.” (1 Abena Tesalonika 2:6, 7) Nyina uonsha alasakamana abana bakwe abanono. Ilyo Paulo asangwike Umwina Kristu, asambilile ukubo wapetama kabili alangishe umucinshi ku Bena Kristu banankwe pa kubo wanakilila kuli bene. Mu kucite fyo, alicindike ne fyo balefwaya ukuisalila, kabili ici kuti twacimwena ku cacitike lintu ali umufungwa mu Roma.
12 Umusha uwafyukile uwe shina lya Onesimu alisambilishiwe na Paulo. Asangwike Umwina Kristu kabili cibusa wa kwa Paulo. Umwine wa uyu musha ali ni Filemone, uwaleikala ku Asia Minor, kabili na o ali Mwina Kristu. Muli kalata Paulo alembele Filemone, alondolwele ifyo Onesimu ali uwa mulimo kuli wene, atile: “Ine nafwayo kuba nankwe.” Lelo Paulo alibweseshe Onesimu kuli Filemone, pantu muli kalata alembele ukuti: “Nshafwaile ukucite cintu ukwabulo kusuminisha kobe, ukuti ubusuma bobe kuli ine bwiba ngo bwa mucikilisha, lelo bwa kuitemenwa.” Paulo talefwaya kushukila Filemone ukuti pantu mutumwa, lelo alimulangile umucinshi pa kukanamweba ukuti atwalilile ukwikala na Onesimu mu Roma. Ukulundapo, acincishe Filemone ukulango mucinshi kuli Onesimu, ukumumona nga “uwacisho musha, wa bwananyina uwatemwikwa.”—Filemone 13-16.

14. Bushe umulume no mukashi kuti balangana shani umucinshi?
14 Baibolo itila: “umutwe wa mwaume onse ni Kristu, no mutwe wa mwanakashi mwaume.” (1 Abena Korinti 11:3) Yehova alipeelo mwaume umulimo wa kusungo mukashi wakwe nga fintu Kristu asungile icilonganino. Pali 1 Petro 3:7, umulume aebwa ukupeela umukashi wakwe ‘umucinshi nga ku cipe icishakosesha.’ Kuti acite ci ukupitila mu kulango ukuitemenwa kwine kwine ukwa kukutika ku mukashi wakwe no kumfwila imitubululo yakwe. (Ukutendeka 21:12) Kuti aleka umukashi wakwe ukubalilapo ukusala cikulu fye ifishinte fya Baibolo tafitobelwe, kabili alamucitila ifintu no kumulanga icikuuku. Lyene, ‘umukashi alingile ukuba na katiina ku mulume wakwe.’ (Abena Efese 5:33) Alakutika kuli wene, tapatikisha ukuicitile fyo alefwaya, tafuupula mulume wakwe nangu ukumutefya lyonse. Alabo wapetama ukupitila mu kukanapingula umulume ifya kucita, nangu ca kuti ena alilamuka muli fimo ukucila umulume.

(Daniele 2:44) E co ‘tulapeela bonse ifyo bafwile ukupeelwa: umutuulo tulapeela ku ufwile umutuulo; umusangulo ku ufwile umusangulo; ukutiina ku ufwile ukutiinwa; umucinshi ku ufwile umucinshi.’ (Abena Roma 13:7) Tulingile ‘ukucindika abantu ba misango yonse.’—1 Petro 2:17, NW.

(Mateo 5:3, NW) Kuti twacite co ukupitila mu kumfwila ukucinkula kwa mutumwa Paulo ukwa kuti: “Cincilo kuipeela kuli Lesa ngo wasuminishiwa, umubomfi uushingaba na ca kukwatilapo insoni, uulungiko kusose cebo ca Cine.” Nga twabomfya ukushilimuka kwa kushimikila pa nshita yonse, ‘ukufishapo bukapyunga bwesu,’ ninshi tulecite cisuma kuli bonse no kubalango mucinshi.—2 Timote 2:15; 4:5.
