MWAAHAALA WAAKHULA HAI?
Tiivi ekhanle yawooniherya etokweene ya mahala a Muluku wa achu?
Nnii nooniherye hai wi hannalamuleliwa ni yoocheka nyenya ni mahala a Muluku?
Mareeliho taani nnakhalaahuno ntoko yookhumelela ya Mahala a Yehova?
1, 2. (a) Mutharihe niphwanaphwaniho na Yesu na mulipa a emaca. (b) Mwaha yoola onooniherya hai mikhalelo sa oreera murima ni mahala?
WOOSIISELO ene, mulipa a emaca aaya omusika wi awaavye anamalapa wi yamulapele. Owo aalakanano waaliva ikhorowa sammoori, nave alopwana owo yaheemererya nlakano nno. Nyenya woona wi mulipa a emaca aanaachuna anamalapa ancipale, aakookela omusika ikwaha sincipale variyari va nihiku wi awaavye alopwana akina. Owo ahiivaha wi aalive alopwana oothene ikhorowa yaaphakanenlaaya. Omakuchuwelo wa nihiku, mulipa a emaca aahaathukumanya anamalapa wi aalive. Nave moohipwacha waakhanle wi alampe nihiku noothene naari ewora emoha, owo aalimve moolikanela. Nyenya, vaavaa mulopwana aalampe nihiku noothene aapacenryeiye okacamiha, mulipa a emaca aaloca: “Miyo kinakhwela onvaha ola yeyo kovan’haka weyo; wakhweya miyo nkinawerya werela kinakhwelaka yeeyo eri yaka? Wakhweya orino nrima wa nthowa na orèra waka murima?”—Mateu 20:1-15.
2 Mwaha wa Yesu onnanihusiha echu yookhweleya vooloca sa “Mahala.”[1] (Moone masu avathi omakuchuwelo.) (Mwaalakhanye 2 Korinto 6:1.) Mwawiihai? Akina ananwerya wuupuwela wi mulopwana olampe nihiku noothene aaphwanela waakhela ikhorowa sawaaca waapwaha akina. Nyenya mulipa a emaca aahooniherya mahala wa anamalapa yaawo yaalampe nikupa na oxekuwa. Mulipa oohuserya mmoha alocaka sa “mahala” aphariheliwe Mpiipiliyani oriye: “Masu ala anataphulela yamahala, echu enavahiwa muchu ahiphwanelaka.”
YOOVAHA YA YEHOVA
3, 4. Ntakhara heeni nave ti mwawiihai Yehova onooniheryeiye mahala wa achu oothene?
3 Piipiliya onnanleela wi mahala a Muluku ‘yovaha.’ (Éfeso 3:7) Woona wi hinnawerya omurumeela Yehova moophaameya, hinnaphwanela waakhela mahala vyakala oorweela wa Muluku. Chiri naaphwanela okhwa. Mwene Solomoni ooloca: “Mw’elaponi hamo mutxhu awokololowasa, onera ya phama ahintoko otxheka.” (Eklesiyaste 7:20) Ohoolo waya murummwa Paulo aaloca: “Ntakhara atxhu othene àtxheka ni àthoiwa ovuwa wa Muluku,” nave “nlivelo na yotxheka ti okhwa.”—Aroma 3:23; 6:23a.
4 Woona wi Yehova onnaasivela vancipale achu, owo aamurumiha “Mwana awe mmoharu” wi akhwe ntakhara hiyo. Ela yaari yawooniherya etokweene ya mahala a Muluku. (Yohani 3:16) Paulo ooloca wi Yesu “vano òkhalano ovuwa ni itxitximiho wa nthowa na okhwa wawe, nave hiha olawiha okhwa wi, ni mahala a Muluku, antxipale evuluwe.” (Ahebri 2:9) Chiryene, “mahala a Muluku onanivaheiye, ti ekumi yohimala mwa Yesu Kristu Pwiya ahu.”—Aroma 6:23b.
5, 6. Tisivi siri sookhumelela vaavaa nnalamuleliwaahu (a) ni yoocheka? (b) ni mahala a Muluku?
5 Ntakhara heeni ninnacheka nave ninnakhwa? Piipiliya onaloca wi “okhwa wolamula wa nthowa na mutxhu mmoha yowo.” Va nthowa nawi na nloko na Aatamu, naachu oohiphaameya nave ninnakhwa. (Aroma 5:12, 14, 17) Nyenya ti wooweryeya othanla ohilamuleliwa naari ovareryeliwa ni yoocheka. Onaweryeya hai? Vaavaa nnooniheryaahu nroromelo mmukucho wa woopola wa Kristu, ninnaphura mahala anarweela wa Yehova. Piipiliya onnaloca: “Wantxevo sotxheka, mahalatho a Muluku àtepa watxavo, wi, ntoko walamunlaya atxhu othene wa nthowa na yotxheka, hihatho, wa nthowa na wokololiwa, mahala a Muluku elamule ekerihaka wekumini yohimala mwa Yesu Kristu Pwiya ahu.”—Aroma 5:20, 21.
6 Naamwi nlelo nri achu oohiphaameya, niheemererye wi yoocheka enilamulele. Mwawiihiiha wakhala wi noopaka yoocheka, ninnooniherya nroromelo mmukucho wa Kristu moorweela wa omveka Yehova wi anilevelele. Paulo oonilopola: “Vano yotxheka hekhalano owerya wa nyuwano, wona wi nyuwano himunetxela nlamulo, nto munetxela mahala a Muluku.” (Aroma 6:14) Vano nnii niphure hai mahala anarweela wa Muluku? Paulo ooloca: “Mahala a Muluku . . . ananihusiha ohiya ohemererya ni minkhela sa elapo ya vathi, wi vathiva nikhale awisuwela, awokolola ni òmulapa Muluku.”—Tito 2:11, 12.
“MAHALA ÒHIYANAHIYANA A MULUKU”
7, 8. Enataphulela eheeni wi Yehova onnooniherya mahala awe mmukhalelo ‘wohiyanahiyana’? (Moone eruku yoopacerya.)
7 Murummwa Petro oorepa: “Othene nyuwo, ntoko yamahala mutxhu ti mutxhu akhenleiye, mwivahe muteko wolapela ntoko anamakawela aphaama a mahala òhiyanahiyana a Muluku.” (1 Pedro 4:10) Enataphulela eheeni wi mahala a Yehova anooniheryiwa mmukhalelo ‘wohiyanahiyana’? ela enataphulela wi makacamiho oothene nnakumanahuno muukumini, Yehova onahaala onivaha yeeyo enanthowa wi niwerye ovilela. (1 Pedro 1:6) Owo onahaala onivaha yeeyo enanthowa wi niwerye ovootha nikacamiho nri noothene.
8 Murummwa Yohani oorepa: “Hiyo othene nìhakhela mahala ni mahala.” (Yohani 1:16) Woona wi Yehova ohooniherya mahala awe mmikhalelo mincipale, ninnaakhela mareeliho mancipale. Taavi ari mareeliho makina?
9. Nnii niphure hai mahala orweela wa Yehova, nave nnii nooniherye hai othamalela wahu?
9 Yehova onnalevelela soocheka sahu. Wa nthowa na mahala awe, Yehova onnalevelela soocheka sahu. Nyenya owo oneerano hiiha pahiru wakhala wi noocharuwa nave natitelela owaniha nchuno nahu na opaka yoocheka. (Mwaalakhanye 1 Yohani 1:8, 9.) Paulo aahaatharihela Akristu oothanliwa mu elukuluku awe mukhalelo Yehova onaleveleleiye soocheka. Owo ooloca: “[Muluku] onàkiherya owerya wa epiphi ni onathamiherya momweneni mwa Mwana awe òkhweleya, mwa yowo nrino wopoliwa ni oleveleliwa wa sotxheka.” (Kolosi 1:13, 14) Hiyaano ninnathamalela ikharari sa Muluku mwawiihiiha nnachuna omucicimiha. Nave woona wi Yehova onnalevelela soocheka sahu, nnanwerya tho waakhela mareeliho mancipale ootikhiniha.
10. Tiheeni nnapuhaahu wa nthowa na mahala a Muluku?
10 Nnanwerya okhalano onthamwene wa murecele ni Muluku. Hiyaano nnakhala achu oohiphaameya ovinyerya elukuluku nnayariwaahu, na amwiicani a Muluku. Aai Paulo ooloca: “Natànyihiwe ni Muluku wa nthowa na okhwa wa Mwanawe, hiyo naryahu nlelo amwitxana a Muluku.” (Aroma 5:10) Wa nthowa na woopola, nnanwerya waataana ni Muluku, eyo ti wi, okhalano murecele ni yene nave nikhale asinthamwene awe. Paulo aathariha mukhalelo eniiwananaaya ni mahala a Yehova vaavaa aaloceiye ni annawe oothanliwa: “Hiyo nokololiwe wa ikuru sa nroromelo, nòkhalano muretxele ni Muluku, mwa Yesu Kristu Pwiya ahu. Mwa yowo, wa nthowa na ororomela nòvahiwa mahala wa yawo ntxitximihahuno.” (Aroma 5:1, 2) Ekari taani nryaahuno opuha onthamwene wa murecele ni Yehova!
11. Oothanliwa anahusiha hai “iputxeputxhe ikina” ochara wookololowa?
11 Nnanwerya okhala awookololowa vamiithoni va Muluku. Mulipa miririmu Taniyeli aarepa wi variyari va elukuluku yoomaliherya, “atxhu yale a miruku,” eyo ti wi, oothanliwa, yaahaala waahusiha achu ancipale “otxhara ephiro y’eparipari.” (Mwaalakhanye Daniyeli 12:3.) Ti mwawiihai oothanliwa aneeraayano yeela? Awo analaleerya michaka yaphaama ni waahusiha ancipale a “iputxeputxhe ikina” ochariha malamulo a Yehova. (Yohani 10:16) Awo annaakhaviherya wooniwa okhala awookololowa vamiithoni va Muluku, yeeyo enaweryeya pahiru wa nthowa na mahala a Yehova. Paulo oothariha: “Nave Muluku òwokololiha mahalene wa nthowa na orèra wawe murima, yowo ti muteko wa nivuluso weriwe ti Yesu Kristu.”—Aroma 3:23, 24.
12. Ovekela oniiwanana hai ni mahala a Muluku?
12 Ninnamwaacamela Muluku moorweela wa nivekelo. Wa nthowa na mahala a Muluku, nnanwerya ovekela wa Yehova. Paulo olonce wi Yehova okiraanthe va munyukhu wa “mahala,” nave onnaniwopa wi naacamelewo ni “nroromelo.” (Ahebri 4:16a) Nnanwerya ovekela wa Yehova moorweela wa Yesu. Nla chiri ncicimiho ntokweene! Paulo ooloca: “Nòkhalano otalaverya womwatxamela Muluku n’otaphuleya wa nthowa na nroromelo.”—Éfeso 3:12.
13. Ti mwawiihai mahala anakhalaaya “nikhaviheryo wa elukuluku yophwanelela”?
13 Ninnaphwanya nikhaviheryo mu elukuluku yoophwanelela. Paulo ooniceenyerya ovekela wa Yehova vaavaa nnathoiwaahu, “wi niphwanye mahala a nikhaviheryo wa elukuluku yophwanelela.” (Ahebri 4:16b) Vaavaa nnakhalaahuno saweeha naari sookacamiha muukumini mwahu, nnaphwanela omveka Yehova wi anikhaviherye. Nave owo onnaakhula mavekelo ahu mmukhalelo woohiyanahiyana. Onnaapharihela anna ni arokora ahu wi enikhaviherye. Yehova onnaakhula mavekelo ahu, ti nthowa nene “nnaweryahu olotxa ni nroromelo: ‘Ti Apwiya [Yehova] anakikaviherya: nkinova etxhu!’”—Ahebri 13:6.
14. Mahala a Yehova anakhaviherya hai mirima sahu?
14 Nnanwerya ophwanya nihakararyo mmirima sahu. Ela ekari etokweene osuwela wi Yehova onnanihakararya vaavaa nnakhalaahu ooceecheya. (Salumu 51:19) Vaavaa Akristu o Tesalónika yiikariwaaya, Paulo aarepa: “Yowo ene Yesu Kristu Pwiya ahu, ni Muluku Tithihu onikhwenle ni mwa ikharari sawe onivan’he nihakalaliho nohimala ni owehererya otokotoko, ehakalihe [ehakararye] mirima sanyu ni yolipiseni.” (2 Tesalónika 2:16, 17.) Echu yoohakalaliha osuwela wi moorweela wa mahala awe, Yehova onnanisivela nave onnanikhapelela!
15. Wa nthowa na mahala a Muluku, ewehereryo taani nryaahuno?
15 Nookhalano ewehereryo ya ekumi yoohimala. Woona wi naachu oocheka, hini nikhaleno ewehereryo voohikhala nikhaviheryo na Yehova. (Mwaalakhanye Salumu 49:8, 9.) Nyenya Yehova oonivaha ewehereryo yootikhiniha. Teevi yeeyo? Yesu ooloca ariki: “Ti wu okhwela wa Atithi, wi mutxhu ti mutxhu onamona Mwana ni onamwemererya yowo akhale ni ekumi yohimala.” (Yohani 6:40) Mwawiihiiha nookhalano ewehereryo ya ekumi yoohimala nthowa na mahala a Yehova. Paulo ooloca: “Àhoneya mahala a Muluku awavulusa atxhu othene.”—Tito 2:11.
MUHIPHARIHELE MAHALA A MULUKU MOONANARA
16. Akristu akina oopacerya yaapharihela hai moonanara mahala a Muluku?
16 Ninnaakhela mareeliho mancipale wa nthowa na mahala a Yehova. Nyenya, nihipharihele moonanara, eyo ti wi, opaka soocheka. Variyari va Akristu oopacerya, yaakhalawo akina yaawo yeererya ‘wapanyeriha mahala a Muluku ni otxapaheya.’ (Yuda 4) Akristu ala oohiroromeleya akhweya yuupuwela wi naamwi echekaka Yehova aahaala waalevelelaka. Ophiyerya wi yaanaweeriha anna akina wiivoliherya mu soocheka saya. Olelo tho, muchu eerano yeela ‘onaruwana Munepa wa mahala.’—Ahebri 10:29.
17. Ekano taani yoolipa Petro ovanheiye?
17 Satana onnaahuweliha Akristu akina mmahiku ahu awuupuwelihaka wi awo ananwerya opaka soocheka nave wi Yehova onahaala waalevelela mwawaakuveya. Eparipari wi Yehova onnaalevelela anamacheka oocharuwa, nyenya, owo onaweherya wi niwaniheke nchuno nahu na opaka soocheka. Yehova aamveerela Petro orepa: “Vano, òkhweleyasa, mòlopoliwa, mwikosopeke! Ehereye wi, n’wokiwe t’akhamuluku yawo, mùwe molipani mwanyu. Nto munnuweke mmahalani momusuwelani Pwiyahu ni Nvulusa Yesu Kristu.”—2 Pedro 3:17, 18.
MAHALA A MULUKU ANNARUUHELA MIRICI
18. Wa nthowa na mahala a Yehova, mirici taani nryaahuno?
18 Chiryene ninnatepa othamalela mahala a Yehova. Nyenya, nnaphwanela opharihela yoovaha ela wi nimucicimiheno Yehova ni waakhaviherya akina. Nookhalano mankaawu ni yaawo. Nnii nipharihele hai soovaha iho? Paulo ooloca: “Nto nryahuno samahala sohiyanahiyana ntoko mahala Muluku onivanheiye . . . yamahala yolaleya Mutxhaka wa Muluku, alaleyeke ni mphimo wa nroromelo nawe. Yowo orino yamahala ya walapela akhweiye, alapeleke. Yowo orino yamahala yohusiha, ahusiheke. Ole orino yamahala ya walipiseryano akhwawe alipiseryeke . . . ole onaphara miteko sa ikharari, alapeke miteko seiho ni ohakalala.” (Aroma 12:6-8) Mwawiihiiha wa nthowa na mahala a Yehova, nookhalano murici wa olapa mwakuru mmuteko wa olaleerya, waahusiha akina Piipiliya, waalipiha anna ni arokora ahu, ni omulevelela ole onanchekela.
19. Murici taani nryaahuno nnahaalaahu othokororya mmwaha onacharela?
19 Ntoko achu anaakhela mareeliho a mahala a Yehova, nnaphwanela oceenyeryeya opaka owetha wahu wi nivahe “onamona wa Mutxhaka Waphama wa mahala a Muluku.” (Saweriwa T’arummwa 20:24) Nnahaala othokororya murici yoola mmwaha onacharela.
[Masu a vathi]
