Lelo ulekelanga bakwenu mwikilongelanga Yehova?
“Shi mulekele bakwenu bibi byo bemulonga, nankyo Shenu wa mulu nandi ukemulekela. Ino shi kemulekelapo bakwenu bibi byo bemulonga, nabya Shenu wa mulu nandi kakemulekelapo bubi bwenu.”—MATEO 6:14, 15 MB.
“YEHOVA i muyūle lusa, i wa buntu, ne kwija pakufuna bulobo, kadi i wa lusa lwa ntanda ne miseke. Kakadingilapo nyeke, mhm; nansha kubika bulobo bwandi nyeke, ehe. Aye ketulongelepo monka mwendele mambo etu, mhm, nansha kwitupala monka mwikadile bubi bwetu mpika. Ke-muntu monka mulepele mūlu peulu pa ntanda, mo monka ne lusa lwandi lwine i lukatampe lwa bonso bamwakaminwe. Monka mulepele kutunduka na kushika, e monka mwatundulwila ne kujilula kwetu ko tudi. Monka mufwila shamuntu bāna bandi lusa, e monka mwibafwila lusa Yehova, bamwakaminwe. Ke-muntu uyūkile ngitu yetu; witunena’mba, i luvumbi.”—Mitoto 103:8-14.
2 Byotwāimitwe mu bupya-mambo ne kubutulwa mu bubi, ne kubulwa kubwaninina kotwāpyene, ino ngikadilo itukokelanga nyeke enka ku kujilula bijila; omwanda tufwaninwe kukimba nyeke bukwashi bwa Leza mwanda aye uvulukanga nyeke’mba ‘twāpangilwe na biloba.’ Myaka tutwa tusatu kupwa kwa Davida kusasula Yehova mu muswelo mulumbuluke kutabuka, mu Lwimbo lwa 103 mulembi mukwabo wa Bible, Mika, wātendele uno Leza umo yenka mu muswelo umo pa ngikadila yandi milumbuluke ya kulekela bubi bwālongelwe pakala’mba: “Lelo ani Leza wifwene abe, ulekela bukondame, ne kupita pa kujilula kwa basheleshele ba bupyani bwandi, a? Kalaminepo bulobo bwandi nyeke, ehe, ke-muntu udi ne nsangaji pa kufwila kanye. Ukāluka kusokola monka lusa po tudi, ukatyimpila bukondame bwetu panshi pa maulu andi; kabidi ukela bubi bwabo bonsololo mu mushike wa kalunga-kamema.”—Mika 7:18, 19.
3 Mu Bisonekwa bya Kingidiki, kishima kingidijibwa bu “kulekela” kishintulula “kuleka kintu kipite.” Tujingululei’mba Davida ne Mika, botutelele kungala’ba, besambilanga pa shintulwilo imo yonka mu bishima bilumbuluke, bya kusasula. Mwanda wa kuyuka biyampe bukata bwa ngikadila itulumukwa bininge ya kulekela kwa Yehova, tujokelei bityetye mu bimfwa bimo-bimo bya muswelo wāingidije ino ngikadila. Kimfwa kibajinji kilombola’mba, masakila a Yehova akokeja kwalamuka tamba ku kusaka konakanya kufika ku kulekela.
Mosesa Usenga—Yehova Wivwana
4 Yehova wālupwile bene Isalela mu Edipito pakubulwa dikeme ne wēbaludikile kubwipi na ntanda yēbalaile’mba ikekala ke yabo, ino bāpelele kwendelela kumeso, bādi batyina bana-balume ba mu Kenani, nansha byobādi bantu pamo’nka bwa abo. Kupwa kwa kumona muswelo wēbalupwile Yehova mu Edipito kupityila ku bimpengele dikumi bya bonakani, kwibashitwila dishinda mu Kalunga Katyila, konakanya kibumbo kya bashidika ba bene Edipito bādi bebalonda, kusamba nabo kipwano kya mukanda wa Bijila ku Lulu lwa Shinai kyēbayukenye bu muzo mutongwe wa Yehova, ne wādi wibapa mana kutamba mūlu difuku ne difuku kupityila ku kingelengele mwanda wa kwibakwasha, ino bādi na moyo, bādi batyina kutwela mu Ntanda ya Mulao mwanda wa bana-balume bapume ba bene Kenani badimo!—Umbadilo 14:1-4.
5 Mosesa ne Alone bātenekelwe bininge pamwanda wa moyo wāivwene bantu ne bakuvumana panshi. Yoshua ne Kalebu, tubedi-bedi tubidi twakikōkeji, twātompele kukankamika bene Isalela’mba: “E ntanda milumbuluke’tu byamalwa. Ino Yehova shi uloelelwe mudi batwe, kadi nankyo uketutweja monka mu ntanda’yo, ne kwitupa’yo ntanda ikukanga mabele ne būki.” Kyaba kya kukankamikwa na binenwa bya uno muswelo, bene Isalela bamoyo, bantomboki bātompele kwasa ba Yoshua ne Kalebu mabwe.—Umbadilo 14:5-10.
6 Yehova wāfunine bulobo! “Ebiya kwivwana kwadi Yehova kanena Mosesa amba: Lelo i ku mwaka ka o bakaleka kumfutulula? Le i ku mwaka ka kadi o bakangitabijapo, nansha byobya biyukeno byonso byo nalongele mubukata mwabo? Nkebepaya ne kinzengele ne kwibatentula bupyani, kadi nkakulonga abewa kodi muzo mutabuke bukatampe ne bukomo ku abo. Penepa kwivwana Mosesa katentulula Yehova amba: Nankyo nabya bene Edipito bakemvwana’kyo, mwanda walupwije bantu bano’ba mu bukomo bobe umbukata mwabo. Ino bakasapwile’kyo ku bekadi ba ntanda’ya. . . . Nanshi pano shi wipaye bano bantu bonso bwa muntu umo, nankyo bamizo baumvwene ntumbo yobe bakanena’mba: Mwanda Yehova kakokejepo kutweja bano bantu bano’ba mu ntanda’ya yebatyipile, ponkapo webepaya muntanda mutuputupu.”—Umbadilo 14:11-16.
7 Mosesa wādi usenga kulekelwa, pamwanda wa buleme bwa dijina dya Yehova amba: “Nakwisashila Vidye, lekela bidi bukondame bwa bano bantu bano’ba, monka mwendele bukatampe bwa lusa lobe; kabidi monka mowebalekele bantu bano’ba, kushilwila mu Edipito kufika ne pano pene.” Penepo Yehova wāmutentulula’mba: “Nebalekela monka mo wanenena.”—Umbadilo 14:19, 20.
Manase Wādi Katōta Bankishi ne Makoji a Davida
8 Kimfwa kya kulekela kwa Yehova kitulumukwa bininge ikitala pa mwanda wa Manase, mwana Mulopwe muyampe Hezekia. Manase wādi na myaka 12 pāshilwile kubikala mu Yelusalema. Wāshimikile mitenta, wāubaka ne kilambwilo kya ba-Bala, ne bipanda bikola, wāfukamine kutōta mitongonika ya mūlu, wālongele majende ne kuloañana bufwityi, wāpwēne na bilumbu ne bambuki, wātudile nkishi musonge mu tempelo ya Yehova, ne wāpityije bandi bāna mu mudilo mu Munonga wa Hinome. “Walonga bubi byamwiko’tu ku meso a Yehova” ne “watupija Yuda ne bekadi ba Yelusalema, ino batabukile kulonga bubi pakatampe, [kupita] mizo yaonakenye Yehova ku meso a bāna ba Isalela.”—2 Bilongwa 33:1-9.
9 Kumfulo, Yehova wātakikile bene Ashidia bende kukalwa na Yuda, bakwata Manase bamuselela mu Babiloni. “Byobiya pa kwikala mu byamalwa washilula kukimba Yehova Leza wandi, ne kwityepeja pakatampe pene ku meso a Leza wa bashandi. Ino walombela kwadi, nandi waitabija kwadi, waivwana kwisasa kwandi, penepo wamujokeja monka ku Yelusalema, mu bulopwe bwandi.” (2 Bilongwa 33:11-13) Penepo Manase wafundula baleza bangi bonso, bankishi, ne bilambwilo bine kumo webyela panja pa kibundi. Wāshilula kwela bitapwa pa kilambwilo kya Yehova ne wasoñanya Yuda kwingidila Leza wabine. Kino kyādi kilomboji kitulumukwa bininge kya kiswamutyima kya Yehova kya kulekela shi kudi kwityepeja, milombelo ne bilongwa bilombola kwilemununa bilupula bipa byendelemo na kwisasa!—2 Bilongwa 33:15, 16.
10 Mwanda wa Mulopwe Davida wālele makoji na mukaja Udia mwine Hiti uyukene bininge. Kālelepo nandi enka makoji ino wāteakenye ne mpangiko ya kufya dimi dyāimite. Mulopwe wāpele Udia lupusa lwa kuleka kujokela ku divita, na kulanga’mba padi ukajokela ku yandi njibo ne kusambakena na wandi mukaji. Ino, pamwanda wa kalemo kādi nako ku balunda nandi bashidika bādi mu bulwi, Udia wāpelele. Penepo Davita wāmwityija kwandi akadye ne wamukoleja malwa, ino Udia kāendelepo kudi wandi mukaji. Penepo Davida watuma mukendi kudi mwimaniji wa divita atule Udia ku mukuku wa kumeso a bulwi mwanda wa epaibwe, ne kyokyālongekele.—2 Samwele 11:2-25.
11 Yehova wātumine mupolofeto wandi Natana kudi Davida akamuyukije bubi bwandi. “Kwivwana kudi Davida wanena Natana amba: Napi mambo padi Yehova. Ino Natana kanena Davida’mba: Yehova wafundula bubi bobe; kukafupo, mhm.” (2 Samwele 12:13) Davida wātenekelwe bininge pamwanda wa bubi bwandi ne wālombwele kwisasa mu milombelo yakubulwa budimbidimbi kudi Yehova amba: “Ke-wi-muntu, abe kuloelelwepo mu kitapwa, mhm, longa nakupe’kyo; kadi kutōkelwepo mu kisōke kya kwela, mhm; bitapwa bine bya Leza i mushipiditu mutyumuke; mutyima mutyumuke munekenibwe, abe Leza, kukafutulula’opo, mhm.” (Mitoto 51:16, 17) Yehova kāpelelepo kutambula milombelo ya Davida yālombele na mutyima mutyumuke. Nansha namino, Davida wāsusukile pamwanda wa mfuto mikomo yāpelwe kukwatañana na byānene Yehova pamwanda wa kulekela mu Divilu 34:6, 7 (NW) amba: “Nansha namani, kakalekapo kupāna mfuto.”
Masobo Atekeje Solomone a Pakupwa kwa Lubako lwa Tempelo
12 Pāfudije Solomone lubako lwa tempelo ya Yehova yonso mituntulu, wānene mu milombelo yandi ya ñanjilo amba: “Ebiya wivwana kwisashila kwa mwingidi obe ne kwa bantu bobe bene Isalela, po bakalombela dya pano pantu pano’pa, eyo wivwana abe mobe mu kikalo kyobe, ke mūlu kadi, ino pa kwivwana ukalekela.” Yehova wālondolwele’mba: “Shi ñumije kūlu amba mvula kakanokapo, nansha shi nasoñanya banjie kumininina ntanda’ya, nansha shi natume kinzengele umbukata mwa bantu bami; penepo kadi shi bantu bami batelwa pa dijina dyami bakeubija ne kulombela, ne kukimba mpala yami, ne kuvundamina ku mashinda abo mabi; nankyo kadi ami nami nkevwananga ami kūlu, nkalekela bubi bwabo, ne kūndapa ntanda yabo.”—2 Bilongwa 6:21; 7:13, 14.
13 Bikutala Yehova, ukwitabije kukwatañana na moikadile dyalelo, ino ke na mowādipo wikadile pakala, mhm. Kikekalanga pamo na mwikinenena Ezekyele 33:13-16 amba: “Po nena ku wakōloka na’mba: Binebine kwikala mūmi ukekala mūmi, ino shi ukulupile boloke bwa aye mwine, penepo walonga bukondame, nabya bilongwa byandi byoloke kebikavulukwapo nansha kimo kine, ino ukafwilanga mu bukondame bwandi bwalonga. Pakwabo napo po nena kudi mupupakane na’mba: Kufwa ukafwanga binebine; penepo shi waaluka ku bubi bwandi ne kulonga kyoki kijila ne kyoloke; shi mupupakane ulubula kyeya, ne kulubula monka kyokya kyāyatyile pa bukabwālala, ne kunanga mu bitūngo bya būmi, ne kulongapo bukondame mpika; nabya kwikala mūmi ukekalanga mūmi, kakafupo, mhm. Byabubi byandi byonso byalongele kebikavulukwapo pādi, nansha kimo kine ehe; ulonga kyokya kilulame ne kyoloke; kwikala mūmi ukekalanga mūmi.”
14 Kulekela kwitulekela Yehova kudi na kayukeno kapabula kakomēne bantu kwingidija pobelekelanga bamo ku bakwabo—ulekelanga kadi wilwangako. Bantu bamo-bamo bakanenanga’mba: “Nkokeja kukulekela pamwanda wa byowānongele, ino kikokejapo (nansha kikabwanyapo) kwilwako.” Ino, jingulula binena Yehova byasaka kulonga’mba: “Nkalekēla bukondame bwabo, ne bubi bwabo, ami nkikavuluka’bopo nyeke, ne nyeke nansha patyetye.”—Yelemia 31:34.
15 Yehova ulekelanga batōtyi bandi ba pano pantanda tamba tununu twa myaka. Ulekelanga bubi bobayukile’mba bebulongele ne buvule bwine bokebayukile nansha kuyuka kwine. Ngikadila yandi ya kufwila lusa, kitukije-tyima, ne kulekela kebidipo na mfulo. Isaya 55:7 unena’mba: “Mupupakane azobolole dishinda dyandi, ne mukondame nandi ku mifwatakanyo yandi; ino ajoke kudi Yehova, nandi ukamusokwela lusa; kudi Leza wetu mwanda ukalekela byamwiko’tu.”
Kulekela mu Bisonekwa bya Kingidiki bya Bwine-kristu
16 Nsekununi ya kulekela kwa Leza isekunwinwe nakampata mu Bisonekwa bya Kingidiki bya bwine-kristu. Pavule, Yesu wēsambile pa kulekela, na kulombola’mba milangwe yandi itala pa uno mwanda imikwatañane na ya Yehova. Mulangilo wa Yesu utambanga kudi Yehova, aye i kyelekejo kya Yehova, i kilomboji kyabinebine kya bu-muntu bwa Yehova; kumumona i kumona Yehova.—Yoano 12:45-50; 14:9; Bahebelu 1:3.
17 Kunena’mba Yehova ulekelanga pakubulwa mikalo kyālombwelwe mu lukindi lwāingidije Yesu, lwa mulopwe wālekele mupika wāmwapwile talenta 10 000 (kubwipi kwa $33 000 000 U.S.). Ino uno mupika byākalekelepo mulunda nandi mupika wāmwapwile ndenadi katwa (kubwipi kwa $60, U.S.), mulopwe wākalabele. “Abe mupika mubi nakulekela byobya byonso byo wāpwile, pa mwanda wa kwisasa ko wausashila. Lelo abe i namani kufwaninwe kukwatyilwa lusa ku mukwenu mo mumuninwe, monka monakukwatyilwa ami lusa? Ponkapo pa kukalabala mfumwandi wamufikija kudi bakumumwesha malwa, amba poso’nka alubudidile byonso byāngapwile.” Penepo Yesu wāshintulwile’mba: “I enka namino ne Tata wa mūlu, aye ukemulongela monka, shi kadi bānwe bonso ku muntu, ku muntu, kemukalekele ne mutyima wa binebine mambo a bamwanenu.”—Mateo 18:23-35.
18 Kumeso kwa Yesu kuleta luno lukindi lotwapwa kutela luno, Petelo wāfwenene kudi Yesu kamwipangula’mba: “Abe Mfumwami mwanetu shi wampya mambo, kadi wampya mambo, ami le nkamulekela dinga? i pasamba-pabidi’ni?” Petelo wādi ulanga’mba udi na mutyima muyampe mpata. Nansha basonekeji ne Bafadiseo byobātudileko mikalo ya kulekela, Yesu wāsapwidile Petelo amba: “Nkikunenepo amba i pasamba-pabidi, ehe, poso ponka pasamba-pabidi pa makumi asamba-abidi.” (Mateo 18:21, 22) Misunsa isamba-ibidi keifwaninwepo mu difuku dimo, ka na mwikinenena Yesu amba: “Dyumukai! Kadi shi mwanenu wakupi mambo mudingile. Shi wesasa mulekele. Shi wakupi mambo misunsa isamba-ibidi mu difuku dimo, shi kadi afike kukunena ku musunsa ne musunsa’mba: ‘Nakupi mambo,’ nabya nobe mulekele ku musunsa ne musunsa.” (Luka 17:3, 4, MB) Petulekelanga Yehova, kabalangapo buvule bwa bubi bwetu—i kyadyese kotudi.
19 Shi tudi na kwityepeja ne mutyima wa kwisasa ne kusaka kuyukija bubi bwetu, Yehova witabijanga kwitukwasha: “Shi tusabe myanda yetu kudi Leza nankyo aye uketulekela bubi bwetu ne kwitutokeja ku bukondame bwetu bonso, mwanda aye i wabinebine moloke ulongelanga monka mwaalaile.”—1 Yoano 1:9, MB.
20 Shitevani mulondi wa Yesu, wādi na ngikadila yapabula ya kulekela, wāelele ñanji pādi waswa mabwe na kibumbo kya bantu babukalabale amba: “Abe Mfumwami Yesu, ntambule muya wami. Penepo wafukata ne kufukata, ne diwi waningija dikatampe’mba: Abe Mfumwani, kokebaletela mu kidye bano bantu pa uno mwanda uno, mhm. Ukala’tu kishima, waponena mu tulo.”—Bilongwa 7:59, 60.
21 Yesu wāshile monka kimfwa kitulumukwa bininge kya kusaka kulekela. Balwana nandi bāmukwete, bāmusambije pakubulwa mwanda, bāmutopekele, bāmusepele, bāmupelela mata, bāmukupila nsonde ya kiseba, kimweka bu bemusonēne bipindi bivule bya tubyūma ne bikupa, ne kumfulo bamuyeja ku mutyi umbula bwa nsaa mivule. Bene Loma bēkujije nakampata mu ino myanda. Ino, pādi palwa Yesu na lufu pa mwine mutyi wa masusu’wa, wānene kudi Shandi wa mūlu pamwanda wa bashidika bamupopele misumadi’mba: “Abe Tata wibaleke mwanda kebayūkilepo kyobalonga.”—Luka 23:34.
22 Mu Busapudi bwandi bwa pa Lulu, Yesu wānene’mba: “Sanswai ba kwimushikwa, ne ba kwimumweshamwesha malwa nabo mwikale kwibalombelelapo.” Kumfulo kwa mwingilo wandi pano pantanda, aye mwine wāingidije uno musoñanya. Lelo i mwanda mukatampe witulombwa, batwe tulwa na bukōkekōke bwa ngitu yetu ya disubi? Mu miswelo yonso tufwaninwe kutompa kwingidija binenwa byāfundije Yesu balondi bandi kupwa kwa kwibalombola kimfwa kya milombelo mifwaninwe’mba: “Shi mulekele bakwenu bibi byo bemulonga, nankyo Shenu wa mulu nandi ukemulekela. Ino shi kemulekelapo bakwenu bibi byo bemulonga, nabya Shenu wa mulu nandi kakemulekelapo bubi bwenu.” (Mateo 5:44; 6:14, 15, MB) Shi tulekele bakwabo mwitulekelela Yehova, tukalekela ne kwilwako.
