Yehova Ufwaninwe Kwikala Kikulupiji Kyetu
“Mwanda Yehova ukekala [ki]kulupi[ji ky]obe.”—NKINDI 3:26.
PA LUPETO lwa mu Amerika (États-Unis) i palembwe bino bishima, “Mudi Leza ye Motukulupile.” Lelo bonso bengidijanga ino mfalanga mu Amerika nansha mu matanda makwabo bakulupile binebine mudi Leza’ni? Nansha bakulupile bininge’nka mu lupeto lwine? Kukulupila mu lupeto kwa ino ntanda nansha kwa matanda makwabo kekukwatañenepo na kukulupila mudi Leza wa buswe, mwinē bukomo bonso, wambulwa lwiso, kengidijanga bukomo bwandi mu muswelo mubi. Kadi i mupeleje lwiso.—Efisesa 5:5.
2 Bene Kidishitu babine batūdile kikulupiji kyabo mudi Leza, ke mu bupetapo, nansha mu “budimbidimbi” bwa bupeta, mhm. (Mateo 13:22) Mwanda bayukile amba lupusa lwa lupeto ludi na mikalo, kelubwanyapo kwitupa nsangaji yabine nansha kwitulamina būmi nyeke. Ino lupusa lwa Leza Mwinē Bukomo Bonso keludipo namino’u. (Zefenia 1:18) Nanshi kino kidyumu i kya tunangu: “Ngikadilo yenu keikikalai ya kusanswa lupeto. Sangalai ne byo mudi nabyo, mwanda Leza mwine wanene’mba: ‘Ami nkikakuzobololapo nansha dimo, kadi nkikakushiyepo bitupu, anha’ ”!—Bahebelu 13:5, MB.
3 Pātumine mutumibwa Polo binenwa bidi kūlu’bi kudi bene Kidishitu Bahebelu, wādi utela bufundiji bwāpēne Mosesa kudi bene Isalela mafuku matyetye kumeso kwa lufu lwandi, amba: “Wikomeje mutyima wikale mwimanije biyampe, kokityinapo nansha kutuyuka kwine ko badi, mhm; mwanda Yehova Leza obe, i aye enka wenda nobe kakakushiepo, nansha kukulekelela kwine mpika.” (Kupituluka 31:6) Myanda mine yādi inenena’po Mosesa ilombola’mba wādi ukankamika bantu kwikala na kikulupiji mudi Yehova, kipityile pa kumukulupila bitupu bu wa kwibapa bisakibwa bya kungitu. Mwanda waka tunena namino?
4 Mwanda mu myaka yonso 40 matuntulu yāyelele Isalela mu ntanda mutuputupu, Leza wēlombwele bu wabinebine kobadi na kwibapa bisakibwa bya umbūmi. (Kupituluka 2:7; 29:5) Wēbapa ne ba kwibaludika. Muswelo umo wa kwibaludika dyādi dikumbi mu dyuba, ino bufuku dyāikala ke mudilo wa kuludikila bene Isalela mu “ntanda ikukanga mabele ne būki.” (Divilu 3:8; 40:36-38) Kitatyi pokyābwene kya kukatwela mu Ntanda ya Mulao, Yehova wātongele Yoshua bu mpingakani wa Mosesa. Bekadi ba ntanda’ya bādi bayukilwe amba bakapela kwibatweja’mo. Ino Yehova wādi wenda pamo na bantu bandi mu bula bwa makumi a myaka, o mwanda kebādipo ne kya kuzakela kine. Bene Isalela bādi na buluji buvule bwa kuyukila’po amba Yehova ye Leza ufwaninwe kukulupilwa!
5 Dyalelo, bene Kidishitu nabo batyibululanga mu ntanda mutuputupu mwa ino ntanda imbi, benda mu ntanda impya ya Leza. Bamo umbukata mwabo ke bende luno lwendo tamba myaka 40 ne kupita. Pano kebalumba ku kutwela mu ntanda impya ya Leza. Ino balwana nabo bakimene mindindi ibidi mwishinda, bakimba kukalakanya yewa yense ukimba kutwela mu ntanda idingakene na Ntanda ya Mulao, ayo’ko ya ntumbo kukila yoya ya kala yādi ikūka mabele ne būki. Kyabine, bino binenwa byānene Mosesa, Polo nandi wāpituluka monka, bifikidilanga kudi bene Kidishitu ba dyalelo: “Ami nkikakuzobololapo, nansha dimo, kadi nkikakushiyepo bitupu, anha”! Bonso bashele bemanije biyampe, bakomeje mutyima na lwitabijo lukomo, batūdile kikulupiji mudi Yehova, batengele na mutyima umo kukapalwa mpalo.
Kikulupiji Kimanine pa Buyuki ne pa Bulunda
6 Kyaba kimo Abalahama, nkambo wa bene Isalela, wāsoñanibwe kwela Isake wandi mwana bu kyakwela kisokwe. (Ngalwilo 22:2) I kika kyālengeje uno shamwana wa buswe ekale na kikulupiji kikomokomo mudi Yehova kya kwitabija kukōkela ponka na ponka? Bahebelu 11:17-19 ulondolola’mba: “I ponka pa kwitabija ponka pāelele Abalahama Isake pa kutompibwa; i binebine yewa watambwile myanda-yamilao ne ku mutyima tō wādi kapana mwana wandi umo enka wa kasuku; ke yewa enka kadi o kyanenenwe’mba: Mudi Isake e mukētyilwa lukunwa lobe; pa kufwatakanya’mba: Leza uyūkile kumusangula ne mulufu mwine; e konka kadi kwāmutambwidile bwa kyelekejo.”
7 Vuluka’mba ba Abalahama ne Isake bāendele lwendo lwa mafuku asatu matuntulu, ko kufika bāfika ku kifuko kyādi kya kwelela’ko kitapwa. (Ngalwilo 22:4) Kuno konso, Abalahama wādi na kyaba kibwane kya kwialuja ne kuleka kulonga byāmulombelwe kulonga. Lelo tukokeja kufwatakanya mwīivwanino wandi ne malango andi? Kubutulwa kwa Isake wādi mwanda wāletele nsangaji mikatampe mpata. Kutenga kwātengele’po Leza kuboko kwāningije lulamato lwa kudi Leza lwādi na ba Abalahama ne Sala mukajandi wādi ñumba. Ko kunena’mba papo bādi batengele bikalongeka kumeso ku mutamba wa Isake ne wa lutundu lwandi. Le ulanga’mba kikulupiji kyabo kyāfudile pangala pa kino kyēbalombele Leza kulonga?
8 Abalahama wāshele na kikulupiji kimanine pa buyuki bwandi pamo na bobwa bwikalanga na balunda ku umo ne mukwabo. Abalahama byaādi “mulunda na Leza” ‘wātūdile lwitabijo mudi Yehova, ebiya nandi wāmutela bu moloke.’ (Yakoba 2:23) Kikulupiji kya Abalahama mudi Yehova kyādi palampe, kupita ne pa kwitabija konkakonka’mba Leza ubwanya kusangula Isake. Abalahama wādi kadi musumininwe amba kyokya kyāmulombele Yehova kulonga kyādi kyendele’mo, nansha Abalahama byākajingulwilepo myanda yonsololo. Kādipo na buluji bwa kwalakena, mwanda wādi uyukile amba Yehova udi na bubinga bwa kumulomba kino. Bine kikulupiji kya Abalahama kyākomejibwe pāmukankeje mwikeulu wa Yehova kwipaya Isake bu kitapwa.—Ngalwilo 22:9-14.
9 Abalahama wādi kala ke mulombole kikulupiji kikomo mu boloke bwa Yehova myaka 25 kunyuma. O mwanda pa kulombolwa’mba Sodoma ne Ngomola bikonakanibwa, wākambakenine būmi bwa bantu boloke bādi mu bibundi’bya, kubadila’mo ne mwipwa wandi Lota. Abalahama wāzenza Leza amba: “Leka! leka! leka! Abe kulongapo nankyo nansha patyetye nyunga kulampe, kutapa boloke ne babi pamo, nabya boloke badingakene pamo bwa babi; ke nankyopo, nyunga kulampe, lelo mutyibi mwine wa panopantanda a bulwe kadi kulonga molokele?”—Ngalwilo 18:25.
10 Mukulutuba Abalahama wādi musumininwe amba Yehova kakalongapo kintu nansha kimo kikondame. Mulembi wa mitōto nandi wāimba mwenda myaka amba: “Yehova i moloke mu mashinda andi onso, ne wabuntu mu mīngilo yandi yonso.” (Mitōto 145:17) Netu twiipangulei’po bidi amba: ‘Lelo ngitabijanga byobya bilekanga Yehova amba bimfikile pambulwa kwalakana boloke bwandi? Le nsumininwe amba byonso byalekanga bifika wibilekanga mwanda wa binkwashe, bikwashe ne bakwabo?’ Wivwane tulondolole amba eyo, nankyo tubaboila ñeni mikatampe ku kifwa kya Abalahama.
Kwikala na Kikulupiji mu Boba Batongelwe na Yehova
11 Boba bamwene Yehova bu kikulupiji kyabo, bekalanga na kikulupiji ne mu bana-balume batongelwe na Yehova ba kufikidija mpango yandi. Ku bene Isalela, kino kyādi kilomba kwikala na kikulupiji mudi Mosesa, kupwa mudi Yoshua mpingakani wandi. Ku bene Kidishitu babajinji kyādi kilomba kwikala na kikulupiji mu batumibwa ne bakulumpe bādi mu kipwilo kya Yelusalema. Ebiya kotudi dyalelo, kilomba kwikala na kikulupiji mudi “umpika wabinebine ne wamanwa” utongelwe bu wa kwitupa ‘bidibwa bya kumushipiditu pa kitatyi kifwaninwe,’ ne ku boba ba umbukata mwabo babundile Kitango Kyendeji nako mo monka.—Mateo 24:45, NW.
12 Na bubine, shi tutūle kikulupiji kyetu mu boba bemanine mingilo mu kipwilo kya bwine Kidishitu, i batwe bonka basa kumwena’mo biyampe. Tulombwelwe amba: “Kōkelai boba bemulelele, ne kwibakōkelelela; ke-bantu abo batengele ponka pa mityima yenu, pamo bwa boba bakapitamo mu bukalama bwabo, amba balonge kino’ki ne tusepo, ne kukālala mpika, ke-kintu kino namino bānwe kemukamwenamopo kantu, mhm.”—Bahebelu 13:17.
Epukai Kusebula Boba Batongelwe na Yehova
13 Bible witukwashanga’mba tufwaninwe kwikala na milangwe mijalale mu kwikala na kikulupiji mu boba bemanine mingilo mu bantu ba Yehova. Tukokeja kwiipangula’mba: ‘Lelo Mosesa kālongelepo bilubo? Le batumibwa bādi nyeke na mwikadilo udingakene na wa Kidishitu wādi wibasakila Yesu bekale nao?’ Pa kino, malondololo adi patōka. Yehova wātongele kwingidija bana-balume badikōkeji, bepāne, ba kuludika bantu bandi, nansha byobādi bantu bakubulwa kubwaninina. Mo monka ne dyalelo, nansha bakulumpe byobadi bakubulwa kubwaninina, ino tufwaninwe nyeke kuvuluka’mba i ‘mushipiditu sandu o wibatongele bekale ke batadi, ba kukumba kipwilo kya Leza.’ Nanshi tufwaninwe kwibakwata na mutyika ne kwibalēmeka.—Bilongwa 20:28.
14 Alone wādi mukudile Mosesa ku myaka isatu, ino abo bonso bādi banuke kudi Midiamu, kaka wabo. (Divilu 2:3, 4; 7:7) Alone byaādi unena senene kupita Mosesa, wātongelwe bu wa kunena pa kyaba kya nkasandi. (Divilu 6:29–7:2) Ino pa kwendeja bene Isalela, Yehova kātongelepo kaka wabo mukulu, Midiamu, nansha Alone wādi unena senene. Butongi bwandi bwaātongele Mosesa bwāimanine pa bintu ne pa bisakibwa bya mu kine kitatyi’kya. Kyaba kimo pābudilwe ba Alone ne Midiamu kuboya ñeni uno muswelo, bādi kebeuninga’mba: “Lelo Yehova kunena wanenene mudi Mosesa enka’ni? Kanenenepo ne mudi batwe kumo’ni?” Midiamu, kepabulwe padi ye wādi kalenga byanzwe umbajinji, wāpebwa mfuto mwanda wa kubulwa bulēme ku utongelwe na Yehova, muntu obādi bafwaninwe kuyuka, aye ne Alone, amba i “mukōkele’tu, utabukile bantu bonsololo baikele panopanshi.”—Umbadilo 12:1-3, 9-15.
15 Babedi 12 pobātuminwe kukabela Ntanda ya Mulao, 10 bāile na lusango lutyani. Bāzakaja mityima ya bene Isalela pa kusapula amba bene Kenani “i bakampangala ba bantu.” Kino kyo kyālengeje bene Isalela “[ke]beuningila kudi Mosesa ne kudi Alone.” Ino ke babedi bonsopo bābudilwe kwikala na kikulupiji mudi Mosesa ne mudi Yehova. Tutanga’mba: “Aye Kalebu watalaja bantu ku meso a Mosesa kanena’mba: Twayai bakelenge tukande panopano ponka tuyate ntanda’ya, mwanda tuyukile biyampe kwiikokeja.” (Umbadilo 13:2, 25–33; 14:2) Kuno kwimanija kwa Kalebu ye konka kwādi ne na Yoshua, mubedi mulunda nandi. Abo bubidi bālombwele amba bakulupile mudi Yehova pobānene’mba: “Ino Yehova shi uloelelwe mudi batwe, kadi nankyo uketutweja monka mu ntanda’yo ne kwitupa’yo, ntanda ikukanga mabele ne būki. Ino . . . [kemuki]kwatwa moyo wa bantu ba ntanda’yo, . . . Yehova udi netu kemukebatyinai.” (Umbadilo 14:6-9) Kino kikulupiji mudi Yehova kyāpadilwe mpalo. Enka Kalebu, Yoshua ne bene Levi bamobamo bo bāpelwe madyese a kutwela mu Ntanda ya Mulao mu lukongo lonso lwa batame bādi bōmi mu kyokya kitatyi.
16 Mwenda myaka, Kalebu wānena’mba: “Amiwa uno nalondelele’tu Yehova Leza wami. . . . Ino pano, talapo bidi, Yehova wangikadija mumi ami, mwēsambile, ino myaka ino’i makumi aná ne itano, kushilwila ku kitatyi’kya byēsambile uno mwanda uno’u Yehova na Mosesa, panangile Isalela muntanda mutuputupu; kadi pano ē! amiwa dyalelo dino’di ne wa myaka makumi mwanda ne itano. Ino nanshi nakidi bidi mukomo dyalelo dino’di, pamo na [bukomo] bo nadi nabo mu dyodya difuku’dya dyāntumine Mosesa amiwa; mo bwaikadile bukomo bwami dyodya, e monka mo bwikadile bukomo bwami ne pano pene.” (Yoshua 14:6-11) Tala mumweno muyampe wādi na Kalebu, kikōkeji kyandi, ne bukomo bwandi bwa ngitu. Ino Yehova kāmutongelepo bu mpingakani wa Mosesa. Ano madyese ātambikilwe Yoshua. Bine tufwaninwe kukulupila’mba Yehova wādi na bubinga pa kutonga Yoshua, bwādi butongi bulumbuluke.
17 Mutumibwa Petelo wātunine Mfumwandi misunsa isatu. Kadi wēombela myanda kyadi aye mwine, wātyiba kutwi kwa umpika wa kitobo mukatampe. (Mateo 26:47-55, 69-75; Yoano 18:10, 11) Pakwabo bamo bāfwatakanyanga’mba Petelo wādi wamoyomoyo, wakubulwa bujalale, muntu wampikwa kufwaninwa kupebwa madyese a pa bula. Ino i ani wāpelwe mfungulo ya Bulopwe, wāpelwe madyese a kushitwila bisumpi bisatu dishinda dya lwito lwa mūlu? I Petelo.—Bilongwa 2:1-41; 8:14-17; 10:1-48.
18 Bino bifwa bilombolanga’mba tufwaninwe kwepuka kufwatakenya muntu mungya mumweno wa na meso bitupu. Shi tutūdile kikulupiji mudi Yehova, ketukālakanapo mutongwe wandi. Nansha kipwilo kyandi kya pano panshi byokibundilwe na bantu bakubulwa kubwaninina, betabije kutupatupa kwabo, aye wibengidijanga mu muswelo mukomokomo. Yude, mwanabo na Yesu wa munda mwa inandi, wādyumwine bene Kidishitu ba mu myaka katwa imbajinji kwepuka bantu bādi bepēne mu “kufutulula bulopwe, ne kubenga bene bakatampe bene.” (Yude 8-10) Ketufwaninwepo kwikala bwa bano bantu.
19 Yehova utoñanga bantu ba kusela biselwa kampanda badi na ngikadilo kansangwa bafwaninwe kuludika bantu bandi mu dishinda dyasaka banangile’mo mu kitatyi kamukaya. Tunenwe kulonga bukomo bwa kuyuka kino kintu, pa kyaba kya kusebula boba batongelwe na Leza, tusangelei kwingila na kikōkeji ponso petutūla Yehova wa pandi wa pandi. Wivwane tulonge namino, nankyo tubalombola amba Yehova ye kikulupiji kyetu.—Efisesa 4:11-16; Fidipai 2:3.
Lombolai Kikulupiji mu Boloke bwa Yehova
20 Shi kyaba kimo tukimbanga kwikulupila bipitepite batwe bene ino mudi Yehova patyetye, nankyo tuboilei ñeni padi Mosesa. Paādi na myaka 40, wāsakile aye mwine kunyongolola bene Isalela mu bupika bwa bene Edipito. Bukomo bwandi na bubine bwādi buyampe, ino kebwābwenyepo kunyongolola Isalela ponka na ponka, nansha kumufikija kuyampe. Wāfula ne ku kunyema. Enka pa kupwa kutwela mu bufundiji bukomokomo bwa myaka 40 mu ntanda ya bweni, ko kufikila wāfikila pa kutongwa kulonga kintu kyaāsakile kulonga dibajinji. Pano wādi ukokeja kukulupila’mba Yehova umukwete makasa abidi, mwanda bintu byālongelwe pano musakila Yehova pa kitatyi Kyandi kifwaninwe.—Divilu 2:11–3:10.
21 Umo ne umo umbukata mwetu ufwaninwe kwiipangula’mba: ‘Le kyaba kimo ntangidilanga Yehova kumeso ne bakulumpe batongelwe pa kipwilo, na kiyumbye kya kukimba bintu kampanda bilongwe bukidibukidi, nansha na kulonga mungya kusaka kwami? Pa kyaba kya kwabila na mwididi madyese kampanda, le ngitabijanga na mutyima tō kufundijibwa kwami kukyendelele mu bula bwa kitatyi kansangwa?’ Shi ke pano, le tubaboila ñeni mikatampe kudi Mosesa?
22 Eyo, kudi ñeni mikwabo yotukokeja kuboila kudi Mosesa. Umbadilo 20:7-13 witulombola kilubo kyaālubile, kyāmufikije kubi. Wājimija madyese a kutweja bene Isalela mu Ntanda ya Mulao. Lelo wānene amba butyibi bwa Yehova mu uno mwanda bwādi bukondame? Le wēumbile mu difīnko, pamo na mumwenwanga bamo, kaubile amba Leza waunshikwe? Le ulanga Mosesa wājimije kikulupiji kyandi mu boloke bwa Yehova? Tukokeja kutana malondololo mu bishima bya aye mwine byaānene ku meso a Isalela mafuku matyetye kumeso kwa lufu lwandi. Mosesa wātendele Yehova amba: “Mingilo yandi i mibwaninine’tu; mwanda mashinda andi onso i moloke swā! I Leza wa binebine ne wampikwa bukondame, Aye i moloke ne mululame.” (Kupituluka 32:4) Mosesa wālamete byabine ku kikulupiji kyandi mudi Yehova kutūla ne ku mfulo. Lelo batwe netu? Le netu tutabulanga matabula a kuningisha kikulupiji kyetu mudi Yehova ne mu boloke bwandi? I muswelo’ka otukokeja kwikiningisha? Tutalei bidi.
