Lupandilo I Lwa Kudi Yehova
“Leza kudi bātwe i Leza [“wa bilongwa bya bupandiji,” NW].”—MITŌTO 68:20.
YEHOVA i Mupandiji wa bantu bamuswele. (Isaya 43:11) Davida Mulopwe mutumbe wa Isalela wāyukīle’kyo ku myanda yāmufikile, ko kwimba na mutyima onso amba: “Lupandilo ludi padi Yehova.” (Mitōto 3:8) Mupolofeto Yona wāingidije binenwa bimo byonka mu milombelo misumininwe yaālombele aye munda mwa mushipa mukatampe.—Yona 2:9.
2 Solomone mwanā Davida nandi wāyukile amba Yehova ye Nsulo ya lupandilo, ke-pantu wānene’mba: “Kabalwe kalongololwa pa difuku dya bulwi; ino [lupandilo lo lwa] Yehova.” (Nkindi 21:31) Mu Moyen-Orient wa kala, bañombe balume bādi bakoka nkasu, bimbulu bisela bitundu, bantu batentama pa bampunda, tubalwe nato tulwibwa nato mavita. Inoko kumeso kwa bene Isalela kutwela mu Ntanda ya Mulao, Leza wēbasoñenye amba yewa yense ukekala mulopwe wabo “kakevudi[ji]japo tubalwe kwadi.” (Kupituluka 17:16) Tubalwe twa mavita ketwādipo twa kwikala na mvubu mwanda Yehova ye wādi wa kupandija bantu bandi.
3 Yehova Mfumu Mulopwe i “Leza wa bilongwa bya bupandiji.” (Mitōto 68:20, NW) Bine, uno i mulangwe ukankamika’po kashāa! Ino i ‘bilongwa’ka bya bupandiji’ biloñanga Yehova? Ne upandijanga bāni?
Yehova Upandijanga Boloke
4 Boba bonso balondalonda boloke bu bengidi bepāne ba Leza bakokeja kusengibwa na bino binenwa bya mutumibwa Petelo: “Yehova uyūkile mwakunyongolwela boba ba bwine-Leza mo batompibwa, ne kwibalama bakondame mu malwa ku difuku dya kidye.” Petelo wāikele kukoma uno mulangwe, amba Leza “kalekelelepo ntanda ya pa kalā, poso enka Noa, mwedi wa mbila ya boloke ye walamine, ne bakwabopo basamba-babidi, pāletele dilobe panopantanda pa bakubulwa [bwine] Leza.”—2 Petelo 2:5, 9.
5 Fwatakanya pamo bwa abe ujokolokelwe na ngikadilo yādi’ko mu mafuku a Noa. Bademona bavwele ngitu ya bu muntu badi pano panshi. Lutundu lwa bano bamwikeulu bantomboki lususula bantu byamalwa, papo ‘ntanda ke mikabakane nakampata.’ (Ngalwilo 6:1-12) Inoko bino byonso kebibudijapo Noa kwingila mwingilo wa Yehova. I “mwedi wa mbila ya boloke.” Aye ne kisaka kyandi bobaka safini, basumininwe amba bubi busa kufundulwa’ko abo bakidi bōmi. Lwitabijo lwa Noa i luponeje ntanda’yo. (Bahebelu 11:7) Myanda yotumona mu ano mafuku i midingakane na ya mu mafuku a Noa, ilombola’mba ano o mafuku a mfulo ya ino ngikadilo imbi ya bintu. (Mateo 24:37-39; 2 Temote 3:1-5) Shi ke pano, le nobe usa kulombola kikōkeji pamo bwa Noa na kwikala mwedi wa mbila ya boloke pamo na bantu ba Leza koku kadi utengele lupandilo lwa Yehova?
6 Petelo i mulete bukamoni bukwabo bulombola’mba Yehova upandijanga boloke. Uno mutumibwa unena’mba: “[Leza] wanyongolwelemo Lota, moloke, wa mutyima wafītyile fututututu, pa mwanda wa mwikadilo wa kulondalonda bya mutyima umbi wa babi (ke-muntu yewa moloke wadi wikele monka mwabo pa kumona ne kwivwana’byo mutyima wamusanshile pakatampe pene, mo bukila, mo bukila, pa bilongwa byabo byakujilula bijila).” (2 Petelo 2:7, 8; Ngalwilo 19:1-29) Ku bantu bavule mu ano mafuku a mfulo, busekese o ke mwikadila. Le nobe ‘ufītwanga mutyima fututututu,’ pamo bwa Lota, pa kumona ‘mwikadilo wa kulondalonda bya mutyima umbi’ udi na bantu bavule dyalelo? Shi ufītwanga, ne shi ulondanga boloke, nankyo ukokeja kubadilwa mu boba bakapandijibwa na Yehova pakafudijibwa ino ngikadilo imbi.
Yehova Upandijanga Bantu Bandi ku Basusujañani
7 Mafuku onso akidi’ko ino ngikadilo minunu, bengidi ba Yehova bakatanwa na kupangwapangwa ne kususulwa na balwana. Ino bakulupile amba Yehova ukebanyongolola, mwanda mu myaka ya kala wādi upandija bantu bandi bādi basusulwa. Langa’po bidi shi wādi mwine Isalela umweshibwa malwa mu makasa a bene Edipito mu mafuku a Mosesa. (Divilu 1:1-14; 6:8) Leza waponeneja Edipito mpupo milondakane. (Divilu 8:5–10:29) Myuya ya bana babedi ba bene Edipito pa kupitulwa na kipupo kya lufu kya dikumi, Felo walekelela bene Isalela bende, ino kupwa kadi waungwija bibumbo byandi bya bulwi kakebapanga lubilo. Kepejijepo, aye ne bantu bandi abaipaibwa mu Kalunga Katyila. (Divilu 14:23-28) Wilunge bidi na Mosesa ne Isalela yense mu luno lwimbo amba: “Yehova i muntu wa bulwi, Yehova dyo dijina dyandi. Makalo a Felo ne divita dyandi dine, waela’byo mu kalunga-kamema, kadi [ne] bamudyavita batongwe bene abashika mu kalunga katyila. Nkulwe milamila ibaputa, abashika monka mu nkulwe milamila pamo na dibwe.” (Divilu 15:3-5) Ne basusujañani bonso basusula bantu ba Leza mu ano mafuku a ku mfulo nabo mo monka, kudi kimpengele kya uno muswelo kibatengele.
8 Pātwelele bene Isalela mu Ntanda ya Mulao, pāpita ne myaka mivule, batyibi bo bādi batyiba myanda umboloke umbukata mwabo. Eyo, bitatyi bimobimo bantu bādi bamweshibwa malwa na beni, ino Leza wādi utuma batyibi ba kwibanyongolola. Nansha ‘byotubinza pa mwanda wa betususula ne kwitusunkanya,’ netu Yehova uketunyongolola mwanda twi bengidi bandi badikōkeji. (Batyibi 2:16-18; 3:9, 15) Bine, mukanda wa mu Bible wa Batyibi witupa kikulupiji pa kino, amba Leza ukaleta lupandilo lukatampe kupityila kudi Yesu Kidishitu, Mutyibi watongele.
9 Tujokelei bidi mu mafuku a Mutyibi Balaka. Bene Isalela abamunwa ke myaka 20 ya kasusu na Yabine Mulopwe mwine Kenani pa mwanda wa butōtyi bwa bubela ne kubulwa kwitabijibwa na Leza. Shisela ye mudyavita wa kibumbo kya bashidika bene Kenani. I kutupu ‘kumona ngabo nansha mukobe mu tununu makumi aná twa mu Isalela,’ nansha muzo byousenselela ku midiyo iná. (Batyibi 5:6-8) Bene Isalela abesāsa kebabija Yehova. Balaka papo uludikwa na Leza kupityila kudi Debola mupolofeto mwana-mukaji, wabunge bana-balume 10 000 pa Kalūlu ka Tabola, Yehova wakokela balwana mu lupongo lwa Tabola. Bibumbo bya Shisela ne makalo abyo a bulwi 900 bibatūtyikila mu musanza ne mu kyalo kya munonga mūmu wa Kishone. Ino mvula mukatampe waleta dilobe, munonga wa Kishone ubayula mema bā. Balaka ne bantu bandi pa kutūka ku Kalūlu ka Tabola mu mfindi ya kimpumpu, abemwena musala mukatampe waletwa na bukalabale bwa Yehova. Bantu ba Balaka abakwata bene Kenani badi banyema bakwatwe na moyo, abebepaya umo umo, kutupu usombolokele’ko. Bine, kino i kidyumu ku basusujañani betumwesha malwa befwatakenya kulwa na Leza!—Batyibi 4:3-16; 5:19-22.
10 Yehova ukapandija bengidi bandi ba mu kino kitatyi ku balwana nabo bebasusula, monka mwaādi upandijija Isalela mu byaba bya byaka paādi wakamwa Leza. (Isaya 43:3; Yelemia 14:8) Leza wānyongolwele Davida “mu kuboko kwa balwana nandi bonsololo.” (2 Samwele 22:1-3) Ne batwe netu mo monka, nansha byotususulwa ne kupangwapangwa bu bengidi ba Yehova, twikalei nyeke bakankamane, mwanda Meshiasa Mulopwe wabikikile uketunyongololanga ku masusu. I byabine, “myuya ya badi makasa ukeīpandijanga. Ukakūla muya wabo ku bongojani ne bikungulu bya bulobo.” (Mitōto 72:13, 14) Kuno kukūlwa bine kubafwena pabwipi.
Leza Upandijanga Boba Bamukulupile
11 Tufwaninwe kukulupila mudi Yehova na kininga shi tusaka kumwena lupandilo kwadi. Davida wēubije mudi Leza na bukankamane paākasambakene kampangala Ngodiata. Langa’po bidi uno dipulumya wa bene Fidishitia wimene ku meso a nsongwalume Davida umwela lubila’mba: “Abe wiya ko ndi ne kipete, ne mukobe, ne muketo; ino ami nanshi ngiya kodi mu dijina dya Yehova wa bibumbo, Leza wa mavita a Isalela ōtuka. Dyalelo dino’di Yehova ukumpa mu kuboko kwami; kadi nkakutapa ne kukutyiba mutwe obe; nkapana imbidi mifwe ya kibumbo kya bene Fidishitia ku byoni bya mūlu, ne ku banyema balobo ba muntanda dyalelo dino’di; amba pano panshi ponsololo payuke’mba mudi Leza mu Isalela kadi; kabidi’mba ne kitango kino kyonsololo’ki kiyuke’mba Yehova kapandijapo ne kipete ne mukobe, mhm; mwanda bulwi i bwa Yehova.” Ne kwija mpika, Ngodiata kalēle kitantala, bene Fidishitia abanekenibwa potepote. Bine, Yehova wānyongolwele bantu bandi.—1 Samwele 17:45-54.
12 Netu tufwaninwe ‘kwilombola bu bana-balume’ ku meso a betupangapanga ne kukulupididila’tu mudi Leza. (Isaya 46:8-13; Nkindi 3:5, 6) Tala’po kino kyālongekele pantu pādi petwa bu Pasa-damima. Isalela wetole ku meso a bibumbo bya bene Fidishitia. Ino moyo keutalejepo Eleazala, umo wa mu batulāla bakomokomo basatu ba Davida. Waimanina dya mu budimi bwa mebele a buluba kaipaya kasuku kandi bene Fidishitia na kipete. Enka namino, ‘Yehova wapandija Isalela na lupandilo lukatampe.’ (1 Bilongwa 11:12-14; 2 Samwele 23:9, 10) Kekudipo muntu umbukata mwetu utengele kutyumuna bibumbo bya bulwi kasuku kandi. Ino kyaba kimo tukokeja kutambwa kasuku na balwana betuningila bibibibi. Le tusa kukulupila na mutyima onso mudi Yehova, Leza wa bilongwa bya bupandiji? Lelo tukamulomba bukwashi, kutyina’mba twakaba balunda netu betabije ku boba betupangapanga?
Yehova Upandijanga Boba Balamine Bululame
13 Pa kutambula lupandilo lwa Yehova, tufwaninwe kulama bululame bwetu kwadi nansha kitulomba shi bika, shi bika. Bantu ba Leza ba mu myaka ya kala bātenwe na matompo meshileshile. Fwatakanya makambakano owādi wa kwikonda nao shi wādi mu bulopwe bwa bisaka dikumi bwa Isalela. Nsungu ya Lehaboma yāfikije bisaka dikumi bilamuke ku mutamba wandi, byētyiba, byāpunga bulopwe bwa kungala bwa Isalela. (2 Bilongwa 10:16, 17; 11:13, 14) Mu balopwe bavule ba buno bulopwe, Yehu ye ubalwa’mo bu mulopwe mulumbuluke mpata, nansha ‘byakāikelepo kunanga mu bijila bya Yehova na mutyima wandi onso.’ (2 Balopwe 10:30, 31) Buno bulopwe bwa bisaka dikumi bwādi’ko na bantu bālamine bululame. (1 Balopwe 19:18) Bālombwele lwitabijo mudi Leza, Leza nandi wāikala nabo. Nansha byofikilwa na matompo mu lwitabijo lobe, lelo ulamine bululame kudi Yehova?
14 Kupēlula Bijila bya Leza kwāsambakene konso konso kwāletēle bulopwe bwa Isalela kinzengele. Bene Ashidia pobānekenye bulopwe bwa bisaka dikumi mu 740 K.K.K., bantu bamo bātalukile banyemena mu bulopwe bwa bisaka bibidi bwa Yuda, mobādi bakokeja kutōta Yehova mu tempelo. Balopwe ba Yuda baná mu boba 19 ba ku musuku wa Davida—Asa, Yehoshafata, Hezekia, ne Yoshia—i bakutendelwa mu lulamato lobādi balamete kudi Leza. Mu mafuku a Hezekia wālamine bululame, bene Ashidia bāile na kibumbo kikomokomo kutamba Yuda. Leza wālondolola ku milombelo ya Hezekia na kutuma mwikeulu umo wāipaya bene Ashidia 185000 bufuku bumo kete, enka namino wāpāna lupandilo ku batōtyi Bandi! (Isaya 37:36-38) Mwenda mafuku, kubulwa kwābudilwe bantu kulama Bijila ne bidyumu bya bapolofeto ba Leza kwālengeja bene Babiloni bāye batyumune Yuda ne konakanya Yelusalema, mwipata mwa Yuda ne tempelo mine mu 607 K.K.K.
15 Ku misungi mine Yuda nayo monka na monka, kulama bululame kudi Leza poyādi mimunwe mu Babiloni kubwipi kwa myaka 70 ya malwa i kintu kyēbalombele kūminina. (Mitōto 137:1-6) Mukelenge umo uyukene bu wālamine bululame i mupolofeto Danyele. (Danyele 1:1-7; 9:1-3) Langa’po mwaāsepelele pālupukile lubila lwa Shilusa Mulopwe wa Peleshia mu 537 K.K.K., lwa amba Bayuda bajokele mu Yuda kukōbakulula tempelo! (Ezela 1:1-4) Danyele ne bakwabo bāuminine mu bula bwa myaka, ku mfulo bāmona ne muponena Babiloni ne kunyongololwa kwa bantu ba Yehova. Kino kifwaninwe kwitukankamika tulombole kūminina pano potutengele konakanibwa kwa “Babiloni mukatakata,” umbikalo wa ntanda yonso wa mitōtelo ya bubela.—Kusokwelwa 18:1-5.
Yehova Upandijanga Nyeke Bantu Bandi
16 Yehova upandijanga nyeke bengidi bandi ponso pobakōkele ku dijina dyandi. (1 Samwele 12:22; Isaya 43:10-12) Ela’po bidi milafwe ku mafuku ādi’ko Eseta Muntwabene wa Mulopwe—mu myaka tutwa tutano K.K.K. Mulopwe Ahaswelusa (Zelekishishi I) watonge Hamane bu mukulumpe wa bamfumu. Hamane wakwatyilwa Modekai Muyuda bulobo mwanda wapele kumwivukwila, penepa wakute kitumba kya kumwipaya aye ne Bayuda bonso ba mu Umbikalo wa Peleshia. Washinga Bayuda kato amba i bantu bajilula bijila, wabweja ne ku lupeto lwa bibīko, kadi wapebwa kaninga-munwe ka mulopwe mwa kutūdila kiyukeno pa mukanda uleta lupusa lwa kwibakubija. Na kininga, Eseta wasokwela mulopwe amba i wa ku musuku wa Bayuda, walombola patōka ne kitumba kikutyile Hamane kya kwibepaya. Lubilo lonka Hamane wayeyekwa enka ku mutyi waadi ulongolwele kwipaila’ko Modekai. Modekai watulwa pa bu mukulumpe wa bamfumu, wapebwa ne lupusa lwa kupa Bayuda kishima kya kwikinga abo bene. Abatambula bushindañani bukatampe pa balwana nabo. (Eseta 3:1–9:19) Uno mwanda ufwaninwe kukankamika lwitabijo lwetu amba Yehova ukanyongolola bengidi bandi ba mu kino kitatyi bamukōkele.
17 Buluji bukwabo bupandijijanga Leza bantu bandi i mwanda bamukōkele ne kukōkela wandi Mwana. Witūle’po bidi pa kyaba kya bana-babwanga ba Yesu Bayuda ba mu myaka katwa imbajinji. Yesu webalombola’mba: “Po mukamonapo ku Yelusalema vita, ibajokoloka konso konso, po pakuyūka’mba, musala wakyo ubafwena. Penepo ba mu Yudea bakanyemene ku ngulu.” (Luka 21:20-22) Pabapite myaka, ubeipangula i kitatyi’ka kikafikidila bino binenwa. Penepa butomboki bwa bene Yuda bubashilula mu 66 K.K. Bashidika bene Loma bendejibwa na Cestius Gallus abajokoloka Yelusalema ne kushilula kubundula mpembwe ya tempelo. Na mu kukopa kwa diso, bene Loma abekoke pambulwa buluji bumweke. Le bene Kidishitu Bayuda basa kulonga’po kika? Eusebius unena mu dibuku Mānga ya Ekeleja, Dibuku III, shapita V, 3 (Angele) amba bānyemene mu Yelusalema ne mu Yudea. Bāpandile mwanda bākōkele ku kidyumu kya bupolofeto kyēbadyumwine Yesu. Le nobe witabijanga pampikwa kutatabala kulonda buludiki bwa mu Bisonekwa buletwa kupityila kudi “kalama wa bine” utūdilwe pa “bintu” byonso bya Yesu?—Luka 12:42-44.
Lupandilo Lutwala ku Būmi Bwanyeke
18 Kulama kidyumu kya Yesu kwāpandije bene Kidishitu Bayuda ba mu Yudea. Ino lufu lwa Yesu luletanga lupandilo lutwala ku būmi bwanyeke ku “bantu b[a miswelo y]onso.” (1 Temote 4:10) Muzo wa muntu wāshilwile kusakilwa kinkūlwa popa pālubile Adama, wājimija būmi bwandi ne kupoteja lutundu lwandi ku bupika bwa bubi ne lufu. (Loma 5:12-19) Bitapwa bya banyema byādi byelwa mu myaka ya Bijila bya Mosesa byādi’tu kilomboji kya kupūtwa kwa bubi. (Bahebelu 10:1-4) Ino Yesu wābutwilwe wampikwa kupyana bubi nansha kubulwa kubwaninina mwanda shandi kādipo muntu wa ngitu ya misunya, ne i kimweke patōka amba mushipiditu sandu wa Leza ‘wāpūtyile’ Madia tamba ku kumwimita kutūla ne ku kumubutula. (Luka 1:35; Yoano 1:29; 1 Petelo 1:18, 19) Yesu, mulami mubwaninine wa bululame pa kufwa, wāelele būmi bwandi bubwaninine mwanda wa kupota dipya muzo wa muntu ne kwiukūla. (Bahebelu 2:14, 15) Kidishitu nanshi “wēpanine aye mwine ke kikūlwa [kyenzankene] kya bonsololo.” (1 Temote 2:5, 6) Ke bonsopo bakamwena mu ino mpango ya lupandilo, ke-pantu boba betabijibwa na Leza kukamwena mu byabuyabuya byayo i enka boba beikulupile.
19 Kidishitu i mupote dipya lutundu lwa Adama na kulombola mvubu ya kyandi kitapwa kya kinkūlwa kudi Leza momwa mūlu. (Bahebelu 9:24) Namino’u Yesu i mumwene’mo Mutundaile, ubundilwe na balondi 144000 bashingwe-māni basangwilwa kukekala mūlu. (Efisesa 5:25-27; Kusokwelwa 14:3, 4; 21:9) Kadi waikala ‘Tata Wanyeke ne nyeke’ ku boba betabija kitapwa kyandi bakapebwa būmi bwanyeke pano panshi. (Isaya 9:6, 7; 1 Yoano 2:1, 2) Bine ino i mpango ya buswe! Kutendela kutendele Polo ino mpango i kumweke patōka mu mukanda wandi wa bubidi kudi bene Kidishitu ba mu Kodinda, waāsonekele ku bukomo bwa mushipiditu, monka musa kwikilombwela kishinte kilonda’ko. Bine, Polo wādi musumininwe amba i kutupu kintu kimubudija kukwasha bantu nabo bamwene biyampe mu mpango ya kutendelwa ya Yehova ya kupāna lupandilo lutwala ku būmi bwanyeke.
