Butyibi Bwāfikidijibwe Mu Musanza Wa Kidye
“Mizo . . . [i]kand[e] ku musanza wa Yehoshafata; mwanda e konka ko nkashikata kutyibila mizo yonso.”—YOELA 3:12.
“BUNGIBUNGI bwa ntanda ne miseke mu musanza wa kidye!” Tutanga bino binenwa bya kabobo mu Yoela 3:14. Mwanda waka bino bibumbo bya ntanda ne miseke bibebungila pamo? Yoela ulondolola’mba: “Mwanda difuku dya Yehova didi pabwipi.” I difuku dikatakata dya kubingija Yehova—difuku dya kufikidija butyibi pa bibumbo bya bantu bapelele Bulopwe bwa Leza bushimikilwe munshi mwa bwendeji bwa Kidishitu Yesu. Dyodya dyuba, “bamwikeulu baná” ba mu Kusokwelwa shapita 7 bakalekelela ‘mvula iná ya pano panshi’ yobakwete, kino kyo kikekala “kyamalwa kibūke kya kubulwa, nansha kingi kikwabo kidingakene nakyo, kushilwila konka kungalwilo kwāpangile mwine Leza, ne kutūla ku dyalelo kuno’ku, nansha kumeso kwine.”—Kusokwelwa 7:1; Mateo 24:21.
2 Kifuko kikafikidijibwa’po buno butyibi i kitelwe mu Yoela 3:12 bu “musanza wa Yehoshafata.” I kyendele’mo, mwanda mu myaka ya bimbidikita bishele mu mānga ya Yuda, mu uno musanza mo mwāfikidije Yehova butyibi bwandi bwa kulwila Yehoshafata, Mulopwe muyampe, wa dijina dishintulula’mba “Yehova I Mutyibi.” Shi tubandaule byālongekele mu kine kitatyi’kya, tukaboila’po ñeni ya kuyuka i bintu’ka bisa kufika mu ano etu mafuku. Nsekununi mine itanwa mu 2 Bilongwa shapita 20. Tutanga mu vese 1 wa uno shapita amba “bāna ba Moabu ne bāna ba Amona ne bamo bene Amone pamo nabo, batamba Yehoshafata bulwi.” Lelo Yehoshafata wālongele’po kika? Wālongele kyokya kiloñanga bengidi ba Yehova bakikōkeji shi abatanwa na tusua. Wākimbile bwendeji bwa Yehova, wālombela na kininga’mba: “A Leza wetu, lelo kukebatyibilapo’ni, a? mwanda batwe ketudipo na bukomokomo pa kibumbo kino kikatampe kyetutamba; nanshi ketuyukilepo ne kya kulonga; ino enka meso etu adi podi.”—2 Bilongwa 20:12.
Yehova Ulondolola ku Milombelo
3 Ebiya Yehova wālondolola, papo “Yuda enselele [wimene] ku meso a Yehova, ne bāna batyetye babo pamo ne bakaji babo, ne babo bāna bene.” (2 Bilongwa 20:13) Mwimvwaniki mukatampe wa milombelo wāpele Yahaziela mupolofeto mwine Levi bukomo, amba apāne malondololo Andi ku kibumbo kya bantu bādi bongwidile, pamo’nka na mwaingidijijanga dyalelo wandi “umpika wabinebine ne wamanwa.” (Mateo 24:45, NW) Tutanga’mba: “E mwanenena Yehova ko mudi namino amba: Kemukwatwapo moyo nansha kwikala ne nzuba mwanda wa kibumbo kikatampe kino’ki, mhm; ke-buntu bulwi kebudipo bwenu, ehe, poso’nka bwa Leza. . . . Kemukasakapo kulwa bulwi buno’bu, ehe; mwipanei banwe bene, imanai talala nyā, mumone lupandilo lwa Yehova po mudi, . . . kemukwatwa moyo nansha kwikala na nzuba mpika; dyakesha tambai po badi, mwanda Yehova udi nenu.”—2 Bilongwa 20:15-17.
4 Eyo, Yehova kānenepo Mulopwe Yehoshafata ne bantu bandi amba bashikate bitupu, belaije’nka kunyongololwa mu kingelengele, ehe, ino wāsakile balonge bintu bivule. Bādi ba kukala ñeni ya mwa kukalongela pa luno lonji lwa balwana nabo. Mulopwe ne ‘bonso ba mu Yuda, pamo ne babo bana batyetye, ne bakaji babo ne bana babo bene,’ bālombwele lwitabijo lukomo pa kukōkela, bākēlela lubanga bwē kebenda kukasambakana mikukumikuku ya bashidika bāile kwibatamba divita. Pobādi benda, mulopwe wādi wenda wibapa misoñanya ya Kiteokratike ne kwibakankamika, amba: “Itabijai mudi Yehova Leza wenu, nabya mukakomejibwa; itabijai bapolofeto bandi, penepo mukamona biyampe.” (2 Bilongwa 20:20) Lwitabijo mudi Yehova! Lwitabijo mu bapolofeto bandi! Lo lufungulo lwine lwa kunekenya. Ne dyalelo nadyo mo monka, byotukankamene mu mwingilo wa Yehova, kepadipo kya kwalakana, uketupa bushindañani pangala pa lwitabijo lwetu!
5 Netu tufwaninwe kutendela “Yehova; mwanda kanye kandi kaladila monka nyeke ne nyeke,” pamo na mwādi mumutendelela bene Yuda ba mu mafuku a Yehoshafata. Tukamutendela namani? Na kusapula Bulopwe na bupyasakane! Netu tutentekelei mingilo ku lwitabijo lwetu pamo bwa bene Yuda bāikele “kwimba ne kutendela” na nsangaji. (2 Bilongwa 20:21, 22) Kyabine, tulombolei lwitabijo lwa kininga kya uno muswelo, mwanda pano Yehova kasake kutamba balwana nandi! Nansha lwendo byolumweka bu lulampe, twikalei bantu basumininwe kūminina, bakomo mu lwitabijo, pamo na mwikadile bantu bandi babushindañani bashikete mu bifuko mudi tuvutakanya dyalelo. Lapolo wa Kitabu-Mwaka cha Mashahidi wa Yehova 1998 ulombola’mba, mu matanda amoamo mudi kupangwapangwa kubikubi, bukalabale, nzala, ne kupumbwa lupeto kwa malwa, inoko bengidi ba Leza bakikōkeji badi’mo bemwenanga kwendelela kumeso kukatampe mpata.
Yehova Upandija Bantu Bandi
6 Mizo yambulwa bwine Leza yādi ijokolokele Yuda yādi keidi kubwipi na kutādila bantu ba Leza, ino bengidi ba Yehova bālombola lwitabijo lwa kifwa kilumbuluke na kumwimbila mitendelo. Netu tubwanya kulombola lwitabijo lwa uno muswelo dyalelo. Shi būmi bwetu bwikale buyule mingilo ya kutendela Yehova, nankyo tukakomeja panopele yetu ya kumushipiditu, ne kujika mikenga yonso itwejejanga’po Satana miketo yandi ya byongo. (Efisesa 6:11) Lwitabijo lukomo lwitukiñanga ku matompo a kulabikwa na byamazua bikobakane, ku kulondalonda byabupeta, ne ku buñumauma bwandabile pa ino ntanda itujokolokele iseka na lufu. Luno lwitabijo kelushindwe, lo alo luketupa bukomo bwa kwingidila pamo na “umpika wabinebine ne wamanwa” na dikōkeji, ne kudishibwa nyeke bidibwa bya kumushipiditu bitupebwa ‘pa kitatyi kifwaninwe.’—Mateo 24:45, NW.
7 Lwitabijo lwetu lwimanine pa Bible luketukomeja twimanije mu bitumba byonso bitukutyila boba balombola mushipiditu wa “mupika mubi” utelelwe mu Mateo 24:48-51. Dyalelo batupondo bafikidijanga mpata buno bupolofeto pobendanga bakusa bubela ne kwela lubila mu matanda mavule, benda bakuta bitumba na bantu badi na bitenta bya lupusa umbukata mwa mizo. Ino Batumoni ba Yehova abo, po-ponso pokifwaninwe, balondololanga “umbukamoni, ne mu kukankamija kwa myanda-miyampe,” pamo na munenena Fidipai 1:7. Kifwa, mu mafuku 26 kweji 9, 1996, bazūji kitema ba mu Kidye kya mu Bulaya Kimanine Byepelo bya Bantu, betene mu Strasbourg mwanda wa kutyiba mwanda watambile mu Ngidiki, ebiya abo bonso pa kimo batyiba monka amba, “Batumoni ba Yehova nabo i ‘kipwilo kiyukane’ ” badi na bwanapabo bwa kulonga mwendele milangwe yabo, mutyima wabo wa mundamunda, ne nkulupilo yabo, kadi badi na bubinga bwa kuyukanya lwitabijo lwabo. Ino batupondo abo i batyibilwe butyibi bwa Leza bunena’mba: “Kyebēndele monka mu lolwa lukindi lwa binebine’mba: Mbwa wālukilanga konka ku kyālasa, kadi ngulube mukaji moījibwe nandi kadi kakēlamba umbitoto.”—2 Petelo 2:22.
8 Mu mafuku a Yehoshafata, Yehova wāletele butyibi pa boba bādi basaka kusanshija bantu Bandi. Tutanga’mba: “Yehova watūla nkalo pa bāna ba Amona, ne Moabu, ne kalūlu ka Seila, batamba padi Yuda; ino batapwa. Mwanda bāna ba Amona ne Moabu baimanine padi bekadi ba kalūlu ka Seila kwibepaya, ne kwibonakanya fututu; ebiya pa kupwa ne bekadi ba Seila, bonsololo bekwasha kwionakanya [abo] bene na bene.” (2 Bilongwa 20:22, 23) Bene Yuda bāinika kine kifuko’kya bu Musanza wa Belaka, kishima Belaka kishintulula’mba “Madyese.” Ne dyalelo nadyo mo monka, butyibi bukafikidija Yehova pa balwana nandi bukaletelanga bantu bandi madyese makatampe.
9 Padi tukokeja kwiipangula amba, Lelo i bāni bakaponejibwa ku butyibi bwa Yehova mu kino kyetu kitatyi? Pa kusaka kutana malondololo, tujokelei ku bupolofeto bwa Yoela. Yoela 3:3 i mwisambile pa balwana na bantu ba Leza, “bashinta nkasampe mwana-mulume [ke] wabwitwa, ne kupota nkasampe mwana-mukaji [ku] vinyu.” Eyo, bamonanga bengidi ba Leza bu tupwaipwai, babo bana bu babitupu, bapitwe’tu ne na kyeya kyeyekwanga ku wabwitwa nansha na lupoto lwa mutyibi wa vinyu. Bakemuka pa kino.
10 Bakwabo bafwaninwe kutambula butyibi i boba balonga bya bwitwa bwa kumushipiditu. (Kusokwelwa 17:3-6) Bakwabo balambikwa bivule nakampata i boba bakuta bitumba na bakata ba kipolitike bya kupangapanga Batumoni ba Yehova ne kujikila mwingilo wabo mashinda, pamo na mulongelanga bendeji ba bipwilo bamobamo baleta kavutakanya mu ino myaka mu Bulaya bwa Kutunduka. Yehova i mulombole kusumininwa kwandi kwa kufundula bano bampola-mambo.—Yoela 3:4-8.
“Longololai Bulwi”!
11 Kadi, Yehova witanga bantu bandi bele lubila lwa bilongwa mu mizo amba: “Lo[mb]olai [bu-ujila bwa] bulwi; langulai bantu bakomokomo; bantu ba bulwi bafwene pabwipi, bakande.” (Yoela 3:9) Luno i lubila lwa divita dya muswelo mukwabo—divita dyoloke. Batumoni badikōkeji ba Yehova bekulupije byabulwi bya kumushipiditu monka mobalondolwelanga ku lunsamfwa-kanwa lwa bubela, batuluja bubela na bubinebine. (2 Kodinda 10:4; Efisesa 6:17) Panopano ponka, Leza ukelombola bu-ujila bwandi ku “divita dya difuku dikatakata dya Leza, Mwinebukomobonso.” (Kusokwelwa 16:14) Dikakomba pano pantanda ponso tō, kepakashalapo kinkwa na bubikadi bwa Leza nansha umo. Bantu bandi ba pano pantanda kebakatengapo kuboko ku buno bulwi nansha dimo. Mu bubine ne mu kyelekejo, ‘ke babunde bipete byabo ke makasu, ne mikobe yabo ke mpete ya kukukula mityi.’ (Isaya 2:4) Ino koku Yehova usoñanya mizo ya lwana ilonge bishidile na bino, amba: “Bundai nkasu yenu ke bipete kadi, ne maseso enu ke mikobe.” (Yoela 3:10) Wita mizo ivwale ñonga ne kuboya mata onso mwa kulwila bulwi. Ino keikamukokejapo, mwanda kunekenya ne bushindañani i bya Yehova!
12 Kinondanonda na 1990, mizo yanene amba Divita dya Munshimunshi dibapu pwēe. Nansha byobanena namino, lelo Kitango kya Bumo bwa Mizo i kifikidije kitungo kyakyo kya kutūla’ko ndoe ne mutyima-ntenke? Nansha dimo! Bimbidikita bya mu Burundi, mu République démocratique du Congo, mu Irake, mu Liberia, mu Rwanda, mu Somali ne mu Yugoslavi wa kala, bitulombola kika? Mungya binenwa bidi mu Yelemia 6:14, abo banena’mba: “Ndoe, ndoe; apo pampikwa ndoe, nansha patyetye.”
13 Nansha divita byodyatalala mu bifuko bimobimo, ino mizo ibundile O.N.U. i miele mu kwitāka ayo mine na mine mu kupunga byabulwi bikomokomo bya mavita. Imoimo ikyungwijije bibīko bya mata a nyukilia. Mikwabo nayo ikibunda mata a mvwanda ya lwasa-bantu ne aleta misongo atukija bantu kipitu. Pano pebungila ino mizo ku kifuko kya kyelekejo kitelwa bu Amakedona, aye wiikolomona’mba: “Mukōkekōke anene’mba: Ami ne mukomo. Pelakanyai mwiye, myanwe mizo yonso ijokolokele, mwiungwijei pamo.” Ebiya Yoela ukala kishima na kwabija kwandi amba: “[Ku kine kifuko’ko,] utūkijeko bakomokomo bobe a Yehova.”—Yoela 3:10, 11.
Yehova Ulama Bandi
14 Lelo bakomokomo ba Yehova i bāni? Leza wabine i mutelwe mu Bible kubwipi kwa misunsa 280 bu “Yehova . . . wa bibumbo.” (2 Balopwe 3:14) Bino i bibumbo bya bamwikeulu ba mūlu batengele kulonga kyonso kibasoñanya Yehova. Pādi pakimba bene Shidea kukwata Edisha, Yehova wāikele kupūtula meso a mwingidi wa Edisha mwanda wa emwene kyokebādipo bebakwatyila: “Talapo bidi, lūlu lwadi luyule tubalwe ne makalo a mudilo kujokoloka Edisha.” (2 Balopwe 6:17) Yesu wānene amba wādi ukokeja kwabija Shandi amupe “bibumbo bya mavita a bamwikeulu bitabukile ne pa dikumi ne bibidi.” (Mateo 26:53, MB) Kadi Kusokwelwa ushintulula kwiya kwa Yesu kwasa kwiya kufikidija butyibi ku Amakedona, amba: “Mavita adi mūlu ke amulonda pa tubalwe tutōka, tō, bavwele bisan[d]i bya bukonge bufindule bitoka, tō, ne kiko mpika. Kadi ne mu kyakanwa mwamutamba lupete lwa būi, amba akupile nalo mizo; kadi ukeilela ku mukombo wa kilonda; ino uponda kyengelo kya bulobo bwa bukalabale bwa Leza Mwinebukomobonso.” (Kusokwelwa 19:14, 15) Kino kyengelo kya kyelekejo i kitelwe mu bishima bya bulobo amba i “kyengelo kikatakata kya bukalabale bwa Leza.”—Kusokwelwa 14:17-20.
15 Shi ke pano, Yehova i mulondolole namani ku kwabija kwa Yoela wādi ulomba kutūka kwa bakomokomo ba Leza? I mulondolole mu bino bishima bya kyelekejo, amba: “Mizo īlangula ayo mine, ne kukanda ku musanza wa Yehoshafata; mwanda e konka ko nkashikata kutyibila mizo yonso ijokolokele. Kwata lupete lwa bunoi, mwangulo ubaele; iyai mutyimpei, mwanda kyengelo i kiyule, mitēko imemenanga imwangala; mwanda bupupakane bwabo i bukatampe. Bungibungi bwa ntanda ne miseke mu musanza wa kidye! Mwanda difuku dya Yehova didi pabwipi mu musanza wa kidye. Dyuba ne kweji bifityijibwa, ne ñenyenye nayo ifundulwa kukelema kwayo. Ebiyampe Yehova ukabuluma ku Ziona, ne kwivwanija diwi dyandi ku Yelusalema; penepo madiulu ne panshi bikatetema.”—Yoela 3:12-16.
16 Monka momuyukile kala amba dijina Yehoshafata dishintulula’mba “Yehova I Mutyibi,” ne Yehova Leza nandi mo monka, dyodya dyuba ukabingija bubikadi bwandi pakafikidija butyibi. Bupolofeto i butele boba bakapona ku buno butyibi bukatyibilwa mu musanza wa kidye amba badi ‘bungibungi bwa ntanda ne miseke.’ Babipanzula bonso bakishele bafwila kubingija mutōtelo wa bubela bakapitwilwa kumo na bino bibumbo bya bantu. Kutentekela’po ne bano batelelwe mu Mitōto yabubidi—ba mizo ne mizo, bantu ba bantu, balopwe ba pano pantanda, ne bambikavu—batongele ngikadilo ya bintu myoneke ya ino ntanda pa kyaba kya ‘kwingidila Yehova na moyo.’ Bapelele kwimuna “Mwana lwimu lwa ku kanwa.” (Mitōto 2:1, 2, 11, 12) Kebayukilepo amba Yesu ye Mulopwe ubikele pamo na Yehova. Kadi mu buno bungibungi bwa bantu bakonakanibwa mubadilwa ne boba bonso bakatyibilwa butyibi bu “bambuji” na Mulopwe wantumbo. (Mateo 25:33, 41) Kitatyi kya Yehova kya kubulumija Yelusalema wa mūlu pokikabwana, Mulopwe wa balopwe wabikikile ukatamba kwiya kufikidija buno butyibi. Dyodya dyuba, madiulu ne ntanda bikatenkena byamwiko! Inoko batwe tukulupile amba: “Yehova ukekalanga mpakala ya bantu bandi, ne nsakwa ya bāna ba Isalela.”—Yoela 3:16.
17 Kusokwelwa 7:9-17 wituyukija boba bakapanda mu oa malwa makatakata amba i “kibumbo kikatampe” kibundilwe na boba balombola lwitabijo lwabo mu bukomo bwa kinkūlwa kya mashi a Yesu. Bano bo abo bakamona kukingwa mu difuku dikatakata dya Yehova, ino papo boba ba bungibungi bwa ntanda ne miseke batelelwe mu bupolofeto bwa Yoela, bakapona ku butyibi. Yoela wisambila pa boba bakapanda’mba: “I enka namino’u mukayuka’mba amiwa ne Yehova Leza wenu, wikalanga mu Ziona, lūlu lwami lukola,” kīkalo kya mūlu kya Yehova.—Yoela 3:17a.
18 Bupolofeto bwitusapwila monka amba, kifuko kya Bulopwe bwa Leza bwa mūlu “kikekala kikola, kadi beni kebakapitemopo monka mwakyo, nansha patyetye pene.” (Yoela 3:17b) Mūlu ne mu kīkalo kya pano panshi kya Bulopwe bwa mūlu kemukekalapo mweni nansha umo, mwanda bonso bakekutyila umbumo mu mutōtelo utōka.
19 I kimweke kala nansha dyalelo, mu bantu ba Yehova badi pano pantanda i mubikale ndoe yabinebine. Basapulanga butyibi bwandi abo bonso mwa kimo mu matanda 230 ne musubu, mu ndimi mishileshile 300 ne kupita. Ntundubuko yabo i mishintululwe senene mu bupolofeto bwa Yoela amba: “Kikafika enka nenki mu dyodya difuku, ngulu ikanokejanga vinyu itobala, ne tungulu tukakukija mabele, kabidi tunonganonga tonsololo twa Yuda tukapita mema.” (Yoela 3:18) Bine, Yehova ukendelela na kupungulwila batendedi bandi badi pano pantanda mulungu wa madyese a nsangaji ne ntundubuko ne tunonganonga tukakūka bubinebine bwabulēme. Bubikadi bwa Yehova bukabingijibwa kufikija’nka ne pa mfulo mu musanza wa kidye, penepo nsangaji ikayula bā konso konso, pi na pi, mwanda Yehova ukekalanga nyeke ne nyekeke umbukata mwa bantu bandi bapandijibwe.—Kusokwelwa 21:3, 4.
