Ukucema Umukuni wa kwa Lesa mu Kutemwa
“Cemeni umukuni wa kwa Lesa uuli kuli imwe.”—1 PETRO 5:2.
1, 2. Mibele nshi yapulamo iya kwa Yehova, kabili ni shani fintu iilanga iine?
UKUPULINKANA Amalembo ya Mushilo, calilengwo kumfwika ukuti ukutemwa mibele yapulamo iya kwa Lesa. “Lesa kutemwa,” e filondolola 1 Yohane 4:8. Apantu ukutemwa kwakwe kulangililwa mu ncitilo, 1 Petro 5:7 atila Lesa “asakamana imwe.” Muli Baibolo inshila intu Yehova asakamaninamo abantu bakwe yapashanishiwa ku nshila intu umucemi wakwato kutemwa mu mutembo asakamaninamo impaanga shakwe: “Moneni Shikulu Yehova . . . alisho mukuni wakwe, ku kuboko kwakwe aulonganya, asendela pa cifuba cakwe abana ba mpaanga, ne shonsha ashitungulula bwino bwino.” (Esaya 40:10, 11) Fintu aali uwasansamuka Davidi ukuba na maka ya kusosa ukuti: “Yehova e mucemi wandi; nshibulwa”!—Ilumbo 23:1.
2 Calilinga ukuti Baibolo ipashanye abantu abo Lesa asenamina ku mpaanga, pantu impaanga shaba isha mutende, ishanakila, isha cumfwila ku mucemi uusakamana. Pamo ngo Mucemi wakwato kutemwa, Yehova mu kushika asakamana abantu bakwe abapale mpaanga. Alangisha cene pa kubapayanishisha lwa ku mubili na lwa ku mupashi na pa kubatungulula ukupula mu “nshiku sha kulekelesha” ishayafya isha ici calo cibifi ukulola ku calo cakwe cipya ica bulungami icileisa.—2 Timote 3:1-5, 13; Mateo 6:31-34; 10:28-31; 2 Petro 3:13.
3. Ni shani fintu kemba wa malumbo alondolwele inshila Yehova asakamaninamo impaanga shakwe?
3 Mona ukusakamana kwabamo kutemwa ukwa kwa Yehova ku mpaanga shakwe ukwa kuti: “Amenso ya kwa Yehova alosha pa balungama, na ’matwi yakwe alosha ku nkuuta yabo. . . . Abalungami balakuuta, na o Yehova alomfwa, alabapokolola na mu fya kumanama fyabo fyonse. Yehova aba mupepi na ku baputuke misana, kabili abafunshike mitima alabapususha; ifibi ifiponeno walungama fingi, lelo kuli ifyo fyonse Yehova alamupokolola.” (Ilumbo 34:15-19) Mwandi cisansamushi cikalamba cintu Umucemi wa mu Kubumbwa konse apayanishisha abantu bakwe abapale mpaanga!
Ica Kumwenako ca Mucemi Musuma
4. Cinshi caba e lubali lwa kwa Yesu mu kusakamana umukuni wa kwa Lesa?
4 Umwana wa kwa Lesa, Yesu, alisambilile bwino ukufuma kuli Wishi, pantu Baibolo yainika Yesu “umucemi musuma.” (Yohane 10:11-16) Umulimo wakwe uwakatama ku mukuni wa kwa Lesa wamonwa mu Ukusokolola icipandwa 7. Mu Re 7 cikomo 9, ababomfi ba kwa Lesa aba mu kasuba kesu betwa “ibumba likalamba . . . abafuma ku luko lonse ne mikowa ne misango ya bantu na ’bantu na ’ba ndimi.” Lyene Re 7 icikomo 17 cilondololo kuti: “Umwana wa mpaanga [Yesu] . . . akabacema, no kubatungulula baye pa tumfukumfuku twa menshi ya mweo; kabili Lesa akafuute filamba fyonse ku menso yabo.” Yesu atungulula impaanga sha kwa Lesa ku menshi ya cine ayatungulula ku bumi bwa muyayaya. (Yohane 17:3) Mona ukuti Yesu ainikwa “Umwana wa mpaanga,” ukulangilila imibele yakwe ine iyapale mpaanga, wene pa kuba ica kumwenako cikalamba ica kuinashisha kuli Lesa.
5. Ni shani fintu Yesu ayumfwile pa lwa bantu?
5 Pe sonde Yesu aendele pa kati ka bantu kabili amwene imibele yabo iya bulanda. Ni shani fintu ayankwileko ku kalanda kabo? “Abekatilwe inkumbu; pa kuti bali abalulunkaniwa kabili abapaswa, nge mpaanga ishishaba na kacema.” (Mateo 9:36) Impaanga ishishaba na kacema shilacula apakalamba ku nama mbi, nge ficula impaanga ishakwata bakacema babulo kusakamana. Lelo Yesu alisakamene apakalamba, pantu atile: “Iseni kuli ine, bonse mwe bacucutika kabili abafinwa, na ine nalamupeelo kutusha. Sendeni ikoli lyandi no kusambilila kuli ine, pa kuti ndi wafuuka kabili uwapetama umutima; e lyo mwalasango kutusha ku mitima yenu; pantu ikoli lyandi lyalyanguka, ne cisendo candi calipepuka.”—Mateo 11:28-30.
6. Kulangulukilako nshi Yesu alangishe ku banyanyantilwa?
6 Ubusesemo bwa Baibolo bwasobele ifyo Yesu aali no kubomba mu kutemwa na bantu ukuti: “Yehova ansubila . . . ku kukakililako abafunaike misana, . . . ku kusansamusha bonse abaloosha.” (Esaya 61:1, 2; Luka 4:17-21) Yesu tatalile asuula abapiina na babusu. Ukucila, afikilishe Esaya 42:3 apatila: “Itete ilyatinika takalifune, iciku icileake cibutubutu takacishimye.” (Linganyako Mateo 12:17-21.) Abacushiwa bapalile amatete yatinika, ukupala ifiku fili mupepi no kushima pa kubulwa amafuta. Ukwishiba imibele yabo iya kalanda, Yesu abalangishe uluse kabili ababikilemo ubukose ne subilo, ukubaposha lwa ku mupashi na lwa ku mubili.—Mateo 4:23.
7. Ni kwi kuntu Yesu atungulwile abantu abayankwile kuli wene?
7 Amabumba ya bantu bapale mpaanga balyankwileko kuli Yesu. Ukusambilisha kwakwe kwali ukwa kwipukisha ica kuti abasole abatuminwe ku kumwikata bacitile lipoti ukuti: “Takwatala akuba untu alandile ngo yu muntu.” (Yohane 7:46) Ee, intungulushi sha butotelo isha bumbimunda baliilishenye abati: “Aba pano isonde bonse balemukonka”! (Yohane 12:19) Lelo Yesu taleifwailo mucinshi nelyo ubukata. Aletungulula abantu kuli Wishi. Abasambilishe ukubombela Yehova ukufuma ku kutemwa imibele Yakwe iishaiwamina: “Uletemwa Sokulu Lesa obe ku mutima obe onse, no mweo obe onse, na ’maka yobe yonse, na ’mano yobe yonse.”—Luka 10:27, 28.
8. Ni shani fintu icumfwila cintu abantu ba kwa Lesa bapeela kuli wene capusana ku cintu bambi bapeela kuli bakateka ba mu calo?
8 Yehova alasekelela ukuti bumulopwe bwa mu kubumbwa konse bulatungililwa na bantu bakwe abapale mpaanga, ukushimpwa pa kutemwa kwabo ukwa kuli wene. Mu kuitemenwa balasalapo ukumubombela pa mulandu wa kwishiba kwabo ukwa mibele yakwe iyatemwikwa. Fintu aba uwapusanako ku ntungulushi sha ici calo abo bantu abatekwa babo bomfwila fye ku mulandu wa mwenso, nelyo mu kushimunuka, nelyo pa kuti bakwete inkuntu shimo ishasokama! Tacingasoswa ulwa kwa Yehova nelyo ulwa kwa Yesu icasoselwe ulwa kwa papa umo uwe Calici lya Roma Katolika ukuti: “Abengi balemukumbwa, bonse balemutina, takwali nangu umo uwamutemenwe.”—Vicars of Christ—The Dark Side of the Papacy, kuli Peter De Rosa.
Bakacema ba Culukusu Muli Israele
9, 10. Londolola intungulushi isha butotelo isha muli Israele wa pa kale ne sha mu mwanda wa myaka uwa kubalilapo.
9 Ukupusanako na Yesu, intungulushi sha butotelo isha muli Israele mu kasuba kakwe tashakwete ukutemwa ku mpaanga. Bapalile bakateka babangilileko ulwa abo Yehova asoseleko ukuti: “Kalanda ku bacemi ba kwa Israele abaicema abene. Bushe te mukuni e o abacemi bacema? . . . Iyanakuka tamwakoselesha, iyalwala tamwaundapa, iyafunika tamwakakako, iileuluba tamwabwesha, ne yaluba tamwafwaya, lelo mwashitekela ku mucikilisha kabili ku lukakala.”—Esekiele 34:2-4.
10 Ukupala balya bakacema ba bupolitiki, intungulushi sha butotelo isha ciYuda isha mu mwanda wa myaka uwa kubalilapo bali abakose mitima. (Luka 11:47-52) Ku kulangilile ci, Yesu ashimike ulwa muYuda uwaibiilwe, ukupumwa, no kushiiwa impondo pa mbali ya nshila. Shimapepo umwina Israele apitile lwa mupepi, lelo pa kumona umuYuda, alambile lubali lubiye ulwa nshila. Umwina Lebi acitile cimo cine. Lyene uushali umwina Israele, umwina Samaria wasuulwa, aishile lwa mupepi no kwikatwe nkumbu pa washilwe mpondo. Akakile ifilaso fyakwe, ukumusenda pa citekwa ku ŋanda ya beni, no kumutensha. Afutile shibweni no kusoso kuti aali no kubwela no kufuta ifipooswa fyalundwako ifili fyonse.—Luka 10:30-37.
11, 12. (a) Ni shani fintu ububifi bwa ntungulushi sha butotelo bwafikile pa kalume mu kasuba ka kwa Yesu? (b) Cinshi cintu Abena Roma mu kupelako bacitile ku ntungulushi sha butotelo?
11 Intungulushi sha butotelo isha mu kasuba ka kwa Yesu shali ishabola nga nshi ica kuti lintu Yesu abuushishe Lasaro ukufuma ku bafwa, bashimapepo bakalamba na baFarise baitile Icilye capamo no kutila: “Tulecita shani? pantu uyu muntu [Yesu] acite fiishibilo ifingi. Nga twamuleka ifyo, bonse bakamutetekela, na ’bena Roma bakesa no kupoke cifulo cesu no luko lwesu.” (Yohane 11:47, 48) Tabasakamene pa lwa busuma buntu Yesu aali nacita ku lwa muntu uwafwile. Baali abayangwako pa lwa fifulo fyabo. E co “ukufuma kuli bulya bushiku bapandene amano umwa kuti bengamwipaila [Yesu].”—Yohane 11:53.
12 Ku kulunda pa bubifi bwabo, bashimapepo bakalamba lyene “bapangile ukuti bepaye na Lasaro wine: pantu ni pa mulandu wakwe abengi ba mu baYuda baleya no kutetekela Yesu.” (Yohane 12:10, 11) Ukubombesha kwabo ukwa kaso ukwa kucingilila ififulo fyabo kwali ukwa fye, pantu Yesu aali nabeba ukuti: “Iŋanda yenu yashilwa imwe icipompa.” (Mateo 23:38) Mu kumfwana na yo mashiwi, muli ilya nkulo abena Roma balishile no kupoka ‘icifulo cabo no luko lwabo,’ pamo pene ne myeo yabo.
Bakacema Bakwato Kutemwa mu Cilonganino ca Bwina Kristu
13. Ni bani Yehova alaile ukutuma ku kucema umukuni wakwe?
13 Mu cifulo ca bacemi bakaluka, aba kaso, Yehova aali no kwimya Umucemi Musuma, Yesu, ku kusakamana umukuni Wakwe. Na kabili alaile ukwimya abacemi banono abakwato kutemwa ku kusakamana impaanga: “Nkemika pali shene abacemi abakashicema; tashakatiine kabili iyo.” (Yeremia 23:4) Muli fyo, nga fintu cali mu filonganino fya Bwina Kristu ifya mu mwanda wa myaka uwa kubalilapo e fyo cili ilelo, “ukulaasa abakalamba mu mishi yonse” kulacitwa. (Tito 1:5) Aba baume bakalamba lwa ku mupashi abafika pa milingo yatantikwa mu Malembo bali no ‘kucema umukuni wa kwa Lesa.’—1 Petro 5:2; 1 Timote 3:1-7; Tito 1:7-9.
14, 15. (a) Mibele nshi iya mutima intu abasambi bacisangile icayafya ukulundulula? (b) Cinshi cintu Yesu acitile ku kubalangilila ukuti baeluda balingile ukuba ababomfi baicefya?
14 Mu kusakamana impaanga, baeluda bafwile “pali fyonse” ukukwata ‘ukutemwa kwacincila’ ukulola kuli shene. (1 Petro 4:8) Lelo abasambi ba kwa Yesu, pa kuba abacishamo kwangwako pa lwa kulumbuka ne cifulo, baali no kusambilila ici. E co lintu nyina wa basambi babili asosele kuli Yesu ukuti: “Ebeni ukuti abana bandi aba babili bekale, umo ku kwa kulyo kwenu na umo ku kwa kuso, mu bufumu bwenu,” abasambi bambi balikalipe. Yesu atile kuli bene: “Bakateka ba Bena fyalo baumya bukateka pali bene, na ’bakalamba babo baumyo lupaka pali bene: te kuti cibe ifi muli imwe. Lelo uwa muli imwe uufwayo kubo mukalamba, abe kapyunga wenu, no wa muli imwe uufwayo kubo wa ntanshi abe umusha wenu.”—Mateo 20:20-28.
15 Pa kashita kambi, pa numa abasambi babe ‘nababikane fikansa umukalamba n’ ani,’ Yesu atile kuli bene: “Ngo muntu afwayo kubo wa ntanshi, abe uwa numa kuli bonse, kabili kapyunga wa bonse.” (Marko 9:34, 35) Ukupetama no kuitemenwa kwa kupyunga fyali no kusanguka ulubali lwa buntu bwabo. Lelo abasambi batwalilile ukukwata ubwafya ne sho mfundo, pantu pa bushiku bwine fye pa ntanshi Yesu talafwa, pa ca kulya cakwe ca cungulo ica kulekelesha, “ifikansa” fyalimine pa lwa walingile ukuba umukalamba! Ico calishile te mulandu Yesu abe nabalangilila fintu eluda afwile ukubombela umukuni; aali naicefya umwine no kusamba amakasa yabo. Atile: “Ine, ne Shikulwinwe kabili Kasambilisha wenu, nga musambile amakasa, na imwe mufwile ukusambana amakasa. Pantu imupeele ica kumulanga, ukuti na imwe mucite ifyo fine namucitila.”—Luka 22:24; Yohane 13:14, 15.
16. Mu 1899, kulandapo nshi kuntu Watch Tower yacitile pa lwa mibele yacindamisha iya baeluda?
16 Inte sha kwa Yehova lyonse shalisambilisha ukuti baeluda bafwile ukube fi. Mupepi no mwanda wa myaka uwapitapo, Watch Tower uwa April 1, 1899, alandile pa mashiwi ya kwa Paulo pali 1 Abena Korinti 13:1-8 kabili lyene atile: “Umutumwa alondolola mu kumfwika ukuti ukwishiba no kukampuka kwa kulanda tafyaba e fya kupiminako fyakatama, lelo ukuti ukutemwa ukusalanganina mu mutima no kutanunukila ku nse ukupitila mu nshila yonse iya bumi, no kukunta no kubomfya imibili yesu iya mfwa, e ca kupiminako ca cine cine—ubushininkisho bwa cine cine ubwa kwampana kwesu ukwa bulesa. . . . Imibele yaba pa ntanshi iifwaikwa mu uli onse uupokelelwa ngo mubomfi we calici, ku kupyungila mu fintu fya mushilo, pali fyonse ilingile ukuba mupashi wa kutemwa.” Alandilepo kuti abaume abashingabomba mu kuicefya ukufuma ku kutemwa “ni bakasambilisha abengaleta ubusanso, kabili mu kupalishako kuti bacito kucena ukwingi ukucila pa busuma.”—1 Abena Korinti 8:1.
17. Ni shani fintu Baibolo ikomaila pa mibele intu baeluda bafwile ukukwata?
17 Muli fyo, abakalamba tabafwile “kuumyo lupaka pa” mpaanga. (1 Petro 5:3) Mu cifulo ca ico, bali no kubuulo butungulushi mu kuba ‘ababelana icongwe, ukuba aba mitima ya nkumbu.’ (Abena Efese 4:32) Paulo akomailepo kuti: “Fwaleni umutima wa nkumbu, icongwe, ubupete, ukunakilila, ukutekanya. . . . Awe pali fyonse ifi fwalilenipo no kutemwa, e kukakila fyonse pamo mu kwitabana.”—Abena Kolose 3:12-14.
18. (a) Ca kumwenako nshi icishaiwamina cintu Paulo aimike mu kubomba ne mpaanga? (b) Mulandu nshi baeluda bashifwile kusuulilako ukukabila kwa mpaanga?

19. Mulandu nshi baeluda bakwato kutemwa babela lipaalo, kabili ni shani fintu impaanga shankulako ku kutemwa kwa musango yo?
19 Abakalamba abacema umukuni mu kubamo kutemwa baliba lipaalo ku mpaanga. Esaya 32:2 asobele ukuti: “Umuntu no muntu akaba ngo mwa kufisama ku mwela, ngo mwa kubelama ku kupongoloka kwa mfula, nge mimana ya menshi apaumisha, nge cintelelwe ca cilibwe cikalamba mu calo icatembuka.” Twaliba aba nsansa ukwishibo kuti abengi muli baeluda besu ilelo balalinga muli ico cikope cayemba ica kupembesula. Balisambilila ukubomfya icishinte cakonkapo ica kuti: “Ku kutemwa aba bwananyina mube aba kutemwanisha; ku mucinshi mube abatangishanya.” (Abena Roma 12:10) Lintu baeluda balangisha uyu musango wa kutemwa no kuicefya, impaanga shilankulako pa “kubacindikisha mu kutemwa pa mulandu wa mulimo wabo.”—1 Abena Tesalonika 5:12, 13.
Cindikeni Ukubomfya kwa Kuisalila
20. Mulandu nshi baeluda bafwile ukucindikila ukuisalila?
20 Yehova alengele abantunse mu kuba no kuisalila ku kucita ukupingulapo kwabo abene. Ilintu baeluda bali no kupeela ukufunda kabili nangu fye ukusalapula, tabali na kulama ubumi nelyo icitetekelo ca umbi. Paulo atile: “Te kutila tuli na bucibinda pa citetekelo cenu, lelo tuli ababombela pamo na imwe ku kumuletelo kusansamuka; pantu mwaimininina ku citetekelo cenu.” (2 Abena Korinti 1:24) Ee, “umuntu onse ali no kusende cipe cakwe umwine.” (Abena Galatia 6:5) Yehova alitupeela ubuntungwa bukalamba mu kati na nkati ka mipaka ya mafunde yakwe ne fishinte. Muli fyo baeluda balingile ukusengauka ukwimika amafunde uko kuntu ifishinte fya mu Malembo fishitobelwe.

21. Cinshi cingasambililwa ukufuma ku mibele ya mutima iya kwa Paulo ukulola kuli Filemone?
21 Mona fintu Paulo, lintu aali umufungwa mu Roma, abombele na Filemone, Umwina Kristu uwakwete abasha pa Kolose mu Asia Minor. Umusha wa kwa Filemone uwe shina lya Onesimu abutukiile ku Roma, abele Umwina Kristu, kabili aleafwilisha Paulo. Paulo alembele kuli Filemone ukuti: “Ine nafwayo kuba nankwe mupepi, ukuti akupyungile kuli ine mu fifungilo fya mbila nsuma; lelo nshafwaile ukucite cintu ukwabulo kusuminisha kobe, ukuti ubusuma bobe kuli ine bwiba ngo bwa mucikilisha, lelo bwa [kuisalila, NW].” (Filemone 13, 14) Paulo abweseshe Onesimu, ukulomba Filemone ukusunga wene nga munyina wa Bwina Kristu. Paulo alishibe ukuti umukuni tawali wakwe; wali wa kwa Lesa. Taali cibinda wa uko lelo umubomfi wa uko. Paulo takambishe Filemone; alicindike ukuisalila kwakwe.
22. (a) Cinshi baeluda balingile ukumfwikisha ukuti e fyaba icifulo cabo? (b) Musango nshi uwa kuteyanya untu Yehova alelundulula?
