“Bantu Bu Byabuntu” Balela Mikōko Ya Yehova
“Pa kukanda mūlu waselele . . . bakutwa, kadi upana [bantu bu byabuntu].”—EFISESA 4:8.
“NEMUFWIJA’KO bininge pa kwituta mutyima. Mimungomungo yenu, kyanga kyenu, ne kwitukambakena kwenu i kwabinebine. Bine mudi’ko nyeke banwe ba kwituta kutwi kwa nteja ne kwisamba netu binenwa bikankamika mityima yetu bitamba mu Bible. Na bubine nkikemukwatapo na kapēlepēle.” Mo mwanenene kaka umo mwine Kidishitu mu mukanda waatumine kudi bakulumpe ba pa kyabo kipwilo. I kimweke patōka amba buswe bumuswele bakumbi bakilelo bene Kidishitu bwatengele mutyima wandi.—1 Petelo 5:2, 3.
2 Bakulumpe i mpangiko ikwetwe na Yehova ya kukwatakanya mikōko yandi. (Luka 12:32; Yoano 10:16) Mikōko ya Yehova i kintu kyandi kya lupoto lukomo—bine i kya lupoto lukomo mwanda wēipotele na mashi malēme a Yesu. Ke kya kutulumukapo shi Yehova usangalanga pakumba bakulumpe luombe lwandi na kanye. (Bilongwa 20:28, 29) Ivwana bano bakulumpe nansha “bamfumu” mobatelelwe mu bupolofeto’mba: “Kukekala muntu umo bwa kinyemeno kya luvula, ne bwa mpakala ku kintenshi; pamo’nka bwa minonga ya mema muntu mūmu, bwa mwemba wa dibwe dikatakata muntanda myumu.” (Isaya 32:1, 2) Bine, i ba kukinga, kutalaja, ne kusenga mikōko yandi. Bakulumpe i bantu bakumbanga luombe na mutyima wa lusa, bekankila’ko kulonga bintu mungya musakila Leza.
3 Bakulumpe badi namino batelelwe mu Bible bu “bantu bu byabuntu.” (Efisesa 4:8) Pano potutela kyabuntu, tubamone kala kintu kipelwe muntu mwanda wa kuvuija bisakibwa byandi nansha kya kumuletela nsangaji. Mukulumpe umonwanga bu kyabuntu i yewa wingidijanga manwa andi mwanda wa kuleta bukwashi busakibwa ne kupāna nsangaji ku luombe. I muswelo’ka wabwanya kulonga namino? Pa kino, malondololo atanwa mu binenwa bya Polo bidi mu Efisesa 4:7-16, atumbijanga Yehova ukambakena mikōko yandi.
“Bantu bu Byabuntu”—Batambile Kwepi?
4 Polo paāingidije kishima “bantu bu byabuntu,” wādi upituluka mu binenwa bya Mulopwe Davida wēsambile padi Yehova amba: “Ubakanda kūlu ubasela ne . . . bakutwe; ubatambula [bantu bu byabuntu, NW].” (Mitōto 68:18) Mu muneneno wa kyelekejo, Yehova ‘wākandile’ pa Lūlu lwa Ziona pāpwile bene Isalela kulāla myaka kampanda mu Ntanda ya Mulao, wātūla Yelusalema ke mwipata mwa bulopwe bwa Isalela, Davida ke mulopwe wabo. Lelo “byabuntu umbukata mwa bantu” bādi bāni? Bādi bana-balume bāyetwe mu bapika bāmuninwe pākwetwe ntanda. Mwenda mafuku, bamobamo mu bano bakutwa bāpebwa kyepelo kya kukwasha bene Levi ku mingilo ya mu tabenakulo.—Ezela 8:20.
5 Polo ulombola mu mukanda wandi kudi bene Efisesa amba binenwa bya mulembi wa mitōto bibafikidila kufikidila kwabyo kwinekwine pa kipwilo kya bwine Kidishitu. Polo utela mu kīpi Mitōto 68:18 amba: “Bātwe bonso tubapebwa bobwa buntu monka mwikadile kitungo kya kyabuntu kya Kidishitu wa bwandi, wa bwandi. E po pānenena’mba: Pa kukanda mūlu waselele . . . bakutwa, kadi upana [bantu bu byabuntu].” (Efisesa 4:7, 8) Pano Polo wingidije mitōto padi Yesu, ntunguluji wa Leza. Mwanda Yesu ye wāikele ‘kunekenya ntanda’ na lwendo lwandi lwa kikōkeji. (Yoano 16:33) Wātambula bushindañani ne pa lufu ne padi Satana popa pāmusangwile Leza mu lufu. (Bilongwa 2:24; Bahebelu 2:14) Mu 33 K.K., Yesu musanguke wākanda “peulu palampe pēne pa momwa mūlu”—pangala pa bipangwa byonso bya mūlu. (Efisesa 4:9, 10; Fidipai 2:9-11) Enka namino, Yesu mushindañani wānyongolola “bakutwa” kudi walwana. Wēbanyongolola namani?
6 Yesu wālombwele bukomo bwandi padi Satana paādi pano pantanda na kunyongolola boba bādi mu nkano ya bademona. Yesu udi pamo bwa muntu wātwelele mu njibo ya Satana, wāmukuta, penepa kamuyata bya mu njibo. (Mateo 12:22-29) Langa’po bidi musala wādi ukokeja kusalwa na Yesu pa kupwa kusangulwa ne kupebwa ‘lupusa lonsololo lwa mūlu ne pano panshi’! (Mateo 28:18) Tamba mu Pentekosa 33 K.K., Yesu, ntunguluji wa Leza, wākandile mūlu, wāshilula kutūta njibo ya Satana, na ‘kusela bakutwa bādi’mo’—bana-balume bādi bamunwe tamba kalaa mu bubi ne lufu, babikalwe na Satana. Bano “bakutwa” bāikala ku kusaka kwabo “bapika ba Kidishitu bakulonga monka muswidile Leza, ne mutyima [ba]tele monka.” (Efisesa 6:6) Penepa Yesu nandi wēbakusumuna mu lupusa lwa Satana, ke ba bene ba Yehova, wēbapāna ku kipwilo ke “bantu bu byabuntu.” Fwatakanya bulobo bwa Satana mobwikadile pa kusompolwa bano bantu buntu-ntala nenki!
7 Lelo tudi na bano “bantu bu byabuntu” mu bipwilo byetu dyalelo? Eyo tudi nabo! Bo abo bengila bu bakulumpe, baputumina mu mingilo bu ‘basapudi, bu bakumbi, ne bu bafundiji’ mu bipwilo 87 000 ne musubu bya bantu ba Leza kujokoloka ntanda yonso. (Efisesa 4:11) Kintu kibasakila Satana i bekale basusula luombe. Ino Leza kebapenepo ku kipwilo kupityila kudi Kidishitu mwanda wa bekisusule, mhm. Yehova utūdile’ko bano bana-balume mwanda wa kipwilo kikale kikomo, kadi bakeshintulwila kwadi pangala pa mikōko ibapelwe. (Bahebelu 13:17) Shi wi mukulumpe, yuka amba Yehova i mukupe mukenga wa kutendelwa wa kulombola moikadile kyabuntu ne bu dyese ku banabenu. Ubwanya kulombola moikadile kyabuntu kya uno muswelo na kuvuija bino biselwa biná bikatampe.
Pokudi ba ‘Kusendulula’
8 Kintu kibajinji, “bantu bu byabuntu” i batūlwe’ko ‘mwanda wa kusendulula bapandulwe’mo,’ mo munenena Polo. (Efisesa 4:12) Kishima kya Kingidiki kyalamwinwe bu ‘kusendulula’ kishintulula kutūla kintu “mu mulongo moloke.” Batwe bonso byotudi bantu bakubulwa kubwaninina, tusakilwa kusendululwa kyaba ne kyaba—kutūla milangwe yetu, mikadila yetu, nansha mwiendelejo wetu “mu mulongo moloke” ukwatañene na mulangilo ne kiswamutyima kya Leza. Bine Yehova wituswele, i mwitupe “bantu bu byabuntu” ba kwitukwasha twikale kwisendulula mokifwaninwe. Lelo baloñanga kino namani?
9 Kyaba kimo mukulumpe ukokeja kwitwa akakwashe mukōko ulumbakana, pakwabo ‘uwaluba ao kuyuka mpika.’ Lelo mukulumpe ukeukwasha muswelo’ka? Ngalatea 6:1 unena’mba: “Mwikale kumwaluja udi namino konka ku mutyima wa kikōkeji.” Nanshi shi mukulumpe kape ulubile madingi, kakamufuninapo nansha kumushimika bishima bitapa. Madingi afwaninwe kwikala akankamika, ke ‘azakajapo’ yewa upebwa’o. (2 Kodinda 10:9; enzankanya na Yoba 33:7.) Muntu ulubile ukokeja aye mwine kala kukwatwa bumvu, o mwanda mukumbi wa buswe ukepuka kupondakanya mushipiditu wa uno muntu. Shi binebine madingi, nansha ke matope mene, amweka patōka amba atamba ku muntu utonwenwe na buswe, bine keabulwangapo kolola milangwe nansha mwiendelejo wa yewa ulubile, amwalujanga.—2 Temote 4:2.
10 Yehova pa kuleta bano “bantu bu byabuntu” ba kwitusendulula, wādi na milangwe ya amba bakulumpe bekale bantu bayukile kutūkija bakwabo mityima kumushipiditu, bafwaninwe kwiulwa na bantu bandi. (1 Kodinda 16:17, 18; Fidipai 3:17) Kusendulula bakwabo ke enkapo kulemununa boba beendeja bityani, ehe, i ne kukwasha boba bakōkele kala nabo balamate pototo ku mwiendelejo wabo moloke.a Bavule, na makambakano mavule azozejañana obadi nao dyalelo, basakilwa kukankamikwa mwanda wa bemanije. Bamo basakilwanga’tu bukwashi bwa kanye bwa kwibolwela milangwe yabo mu milangwe ya Leza. Kifwa, bene Kidishitu bamobamo bakikōkeji bajondwanga mityima munda na milangwe ya kwimona bu bakubulwa kufwaninwa. Bantu “bampungiji ya ku mutyima” uno muswelo bakokeja kumona bu Yehova kabwanyapo kwibaswa dikwabo nansha kwitabija bukomo bwabo bobalonga bwa kumwingidila. (1 Tesalonika 5:14) Ino milangwe idi namino keyolokelepo mumo na mumweno wa Leza wamonanga bengidi bandi.
11 Bakulumpe, i bika byomufwaninwe kulonga mumone kukwasha bano badi namino? Mwibalombolei buluji bwa Bisonekwa bilombola amba Yehova utele mwingidi wandi yense mutyima; mwibakulupijei amba bino bisonekwa bya mu Bible bitala pobadi, muntu ne muntu. (Luka 12:6, 7, 24) Mwibakwashei bamone amba Yehova ‘wibakokelanga’ kwadi bamwingidile, mwanda wibamwene bu bantu ba mvubu. (Yoano 6:44) Mwibakulupijei amba kebadipo kasuku—bengidi bavule bakikōkeji ba Yehova beivwananga nabo enka nabya. Mupolofeto Ediya wānyoñamine pa mutyima mpata, kāabila’nka ne kufwa. (1 Balopwe 19:1-4) Bene Kidishitu bashingwe-māni bamobamo mu myaka katwa imbajinji bādi beivwana mityima yabo ‘ibaponeja.’ (1 Yoano 3:20) I kyabine, ne kuyuka amba bantu bakikōkeji ba mu myaka isekunwinwe mu Bible nabo bādi ‘beivwana pamo’nka bwa batwe’ nako kuseñanga. (Yakoba 5:17) Mukokeja kadi kupituluka ne mu bishinte bya Kiteba kya Mulami ne bya Amkeni! bikankamika boba ba mityima mityumuke. Bukomo bwenu bwa kwaluja bano badi namino bekale monka na kikulupiji kebukapitepo bitupu pakubulwa kuyukwa na Leza wimupēne bu “bantu bu byabuntu.”—Bahebelu 6:10.
‘Kūbaka’ Luombe
12 Kintu kya bubidi, “bantu bu byabuntu” i bapānwe mwanda wa ‘kūbaka umbidi wa Kidishitu.’ (Efisesa 4:12) Polo waingidija pano muneneno wa kyelekejo. ‘Kūbaka’ kwituvuluja lūbako lwa njibo, ebiya ‘umbidi wa Kidishitu’ ufunkila pa bantu—boba babundile kipwilo kya bene Kidishitu bashingwe-māni. (1 Kodinda 12:27; Efisesa 5:23, 29, 30) Bakulumpe bafwaninwe kukwasha banababo bekale kutama kumushipiditu senene. Kitungo kyabo i ‘kūbaka, ke kutūtapo’ luombe. (2 Kodinda 10:8) Lufungulo lwa kūbaka nalo luombe i buswe, mwanda ‘buswe būbakanga.’—1 Kodinda 8:1.
13 Kintu kimo kibadilwa mu buswe kikwashanga bakulumpe mu kūbaka luombe i kulangila bakwabo. Kishima kulangila bakwabo kishintulula kwitūla pa kyabo kyaba—kujingulula milangwe ne mwiivwanino wabo, ne kuyuka mikalo yabo. (1 Petelo 3:8) Mwanda waka i kyakamweno bakulumpe balangile bakwabo? Nakampata mwanda Yehova—upēne bano “bantu bu byabuntu”—i Leza ulangilañana. Utenekwanga ku mutyima pasusukanga bengidi bandi ne pobamonanga malwa. (Divilu 3:7; Isaya 63:9) Uyukile biyampe mikalo yabo. (Mitōto 103:14) Shi ke pano, i muswelo’ka ukokeja bakulumpe kulangila bakwabo?
14 Wivwane muntu mutyumukwe mutyima waiya kobadi, bakamuteja, ne kujingulula mwawiivwanina. Batompa kwivwana myanda moikadile, bumuntu bwandi, ne ngikadilo idi’mo banababo. Penepa bakulumpe pobaleta bukwashi bwa mu Bisonekwa būbaka, mikōko keikakolelwapo kwibutambula, mwanda butamba ku bakumbi bebevwana binebine, bebatele mutyima. (Nkindi 16:23) Kulangila bakwabo kutononanga kadi bakulumpe babandaule mikalo ne mwiivwanino ikeivwana bakwabo. Kifwa, bene Kidishitu bamo bepāne bakokeja kwitopeka pa mwanda wa kubulwa kulonga bivule mu mwingilo wa Leza pa mwanda wa bununu nansha misongo. Bakwabo nabo padi basakilwa kukankamikwa mwanda wa balumbulule mwingilo wabo. (Bahebelu 5:12; 6:1) Kulangilañana kukatonona bakulumpe basokole “binenwa bifwaninwe,” byūbaka bakwabo. (Musapudi 12:10) Wivwane mikōko ya Yehova i myūbakwe ne kukunkwa ku mutyima, i bine buswe boiswele Leza kebukabulwepo kwiisombela ku kumwingidila na bukomo bwayo bonso!
Bana-Balume Baloeja Bumo
15 Kintu kya busatu, “bantu bu byabuntu” i betupebwe mwanda wa “tufikidile bātwe bonso ku bumo bwa kwitabija, ne bwa kuyūkidija kwa aye Mwan[ā] Leza.” (Efisesa 4:13) Kishima “bumo bwa kwitabija” kishintulula bumo bwabinebine, ke’nkapo bumo bwa nkulupilo, ino i ne bwa betabije bene kumo. Buno bo buluji bukwabo bwitupedile Leza bano “bantu bu byabuntu”—i kuloeja bumo mu bantu bandi. I muswelo’ka obebuloejanga?
16 Kibajinji bidi, bafwaninwe kulama bumo umbukata mwabo. Shi bakumbi bekale bekete pala pala, kebakavulukapo kukumbula mikōko. Nsaa mivule yadi ifwaninwe kukakumba luombe ibwanya kupwila mu malenyo a bakulumpe keadi mpwilo, mwipatanibwa myanda ya mvubu mityetye. (1 Temote 2:8) I bine, ke kunenapo amba poso’nka bakulumpe bomvwañane ponka na ponka mu myanda yo-yonso yobesambila’po, nabo i bantu badi na bumuntu bwishileshile mpata. Bumo kebwibakankejepo kwikala na milangwe mishileshile nansha kwisamba’yo mu muswelo mujalale mu mīsambo yobesamba besambula. Bakulumpe balamanga bumo bwabo na kwiteleka na bulēme abo bonso pambulwa kwifwatakenya bibi. Wivwane kepadipo musoñanya kampanda wa mu Bible ujilwilwe, abo bonso betabijanga kulonda butyibi bwa mfulo bukwetwe na kitango kya bakulumpe. Uno mushipiditu wakubulwa kanyinga-mpo obadi nao ulombolanga amba baludikwanga na “ñeni mitūke mūlu,” idi “talala, nyā, ne kikōkeji” ponka.—Yakoba 3:17, 18.
17 Bakulumpe i basoñanibwe kuloeja bumo ne mu kipwilo. Shi abamone bintu kampanda bileta nkalañani —kifwa, myanda ya lumvuba, kwifwatakenya bintu bibibibi, nansha lupotopoto—bitūla ndoe ya kipwilo mu kyaka, bekalanga na kampeja-bukidi ka kuleta’po madingi. (Fidipai 2:2, 3) Kifwa, bakulumpe bakokeja kumona bantu ba mifutululo, bekuja mu mambo a bakwabo, ba lunsamfwa-kanwa. (1 Temote 5:13; 1 Petelo 4:15) Bakulumpe bakakwasha bantu ba uno muswelo bayuke amba uno mwiendelejo i mwishile na owa otufundijibwa na Leza, kadi amba muntu ne muntu ‘ukeselelanga kyakumulēmena.’ (Ngalatea 6:5, 7; 1 Tesalonika 4:9-12) Bakashintulula na Bisonekwa amba Yehova ushidile mutyima wa mundamunda wa muntu ne muntu bintu bivule bya kulonga, ketufwaninwepo kutyibila bakwetu mu myanda ya uno muswelo. (Mateo 7:1, 2; Yakoba 4:10-12) Pa kusaka amba twingidile umbumo, mu kipwilo mufwaninwe kwikala mushipiditu wa kwilēmeka ne kwikulupila. “Bantu bu byabuntu” pobetupanga madingi mafwaninwe emanine pa Bisonekwa, i kwitukwasha kobetukwashanga tulame ndoe ne bumo.—Loma 14:19.
Kukinga Luombe
18 Kintu kya buná kitupedile Yehova “bantu bu byabuntu” i kwitukinga ku lupusa lwa “bivula byonso bya lufundijo, ku budyumuku bwa bantu bwa buzazangi, monka mwikadile kubembeka kwa kyongo.” (Efisesa 4:14) Kishima kibajinjibajinji kyalamwinwe bu “budyumuku” kishintulula “kudimba kasolo” nansha “manwa a kutapana nao kisolo.” Mwene kino kituvuluja bunwanwa bwingidijanga batupondo? Banyengakanya Bisonekwa na budyumuku mwanda wa kukimba kubombola bene Kidishitu babine ku lwitabijo lwabo. Bakulumpe bafwaninwe kutadija na bano “bampumpi bamalwa”!—Bilongwa 20:29, 30.
19 Mikōko ya Yehova isakilwa kukingwa ku byaka bikwabo nabyo. Davida mukumbi wa pa kala wādi ukinga pakubulwa moyo luombe lwa shandi ku banyema ba budyani. (1 Samwele 17:34-36) Dyalelo nadyo monka na monka, kukokeja kwikala bitatyi bilomba bakumbi bene Kidishitu kwikala na bukankamane bwa kukinga luombe ku muntu ye-yense usaka kususula nansha kumwesha malwa mikōko ya Yehova, nakampata yoya yakubulwa bukomo. Bakulumpe bakapelakana kufundula pa kipwilo boba balonga bubi ku kusaka, bakimba kwingidija budyumuku, bongojani ne budimbidimbi mwanda wa kwendeleja bubi.b—1 Kodinda 5:9-13; enzankanya na Mitōto 101:7.
20 Bine, tufwijei’ko pa mwanda wa bano “bantu bu byabuntu”! Tudi na mutyima-ntenke mwanda betutele mityima, betusendululanga na kanye, betūbaka na buswe, betulamina na kampeja-bukidi bumo bwetu, ne kwitukinga na bukankamane. Ino bano “bantu bu byabuntu” bafwaninwe kumona muswelo’ka mwingilo wabo mu kipwilo? Ne i muswelo’ka otubwanya kulombola amba twibatendelanga? Bino bipangujo bikesambilwa’po mu kishinte kilonda’ko.
