“Opwaha Sothe Sene Mukhaleno Osivela Weparipari”

“Makutchuwelo a itchu sothe sene ari vakhiviru; . . . opwaha sothe sene mukhaleno osivela weparipari mwa nyuwo mkhatinyu.”—1 PETRO 4:7, 8.

YESU aanasuwela wi iwora sawe sookuchulela ari vamoha ni arummwa awe, saari soochuneyaxa. Owo aanasuwela ichu saaweherya arummwa awe. Awo yaakhalano muteko mutokotoko wi ekhwaniherye, nyenya awo yaamwiiciwa ni ohooxiwa, hiihaa ntoko Yesu. (Yohane 15:18-20) Ohiyu yoole wookuchula ari vamoha ni arummwa awe, owo aawuupuxerya opwaha ekwaha emoha wii: “Musivelane mukina ni mukhwawe.”—Yohane 13:34, 35; 15:12, 13, 17.

² Murummwa Petro, yoowo aari vaavale ohiyu ene yoole, aahiiwexexa ochuneya wa olopola wa Yesu. Ivinre iyaakha sincipale, ehanle elukuluku vakhaani wi Yerusalemu atoloxiwe, Petro aacicimiherya ochuneya wa osivela. Owo aahaaleela aKiristu wii: “Makutchuwelo a itchu sothe sene ari vakhiviru; . . . Opwaha sothe sene mukhaleno osivela weparipari mwa nyuwo mkhatinyu.” (1 Petro 4:7, 8) Masu a Petro aakhalano yootaphulela etokotoko wa yaale anakhala “m’mahiku ókutchula” a mathoriheryo a ichu seiya samutano. (2 Timoteo 3:1) Mano “osivela weparipari” tiheeni? Mano ntakhara heeni okhanlaaya woochuneya wi hiyaano nikhaleno osivela wa mukina ni mukhwaawe? Mano hiyaano nni nooniherye mwawiihayi wi nookhalano osivela weeparipari?

Mano “Osivela Weparipari”—Tiheeni?

³ Achu ancipale anuupuwela wi osivela ti echu ya maphacuwelo. Nyenya Petro haaloca sa osivela wa mukhalelo ori woothene; owo aaloca sa osivela wa mukhalelo wavameekhaaya. Nsu nawii “osivela” ntaphuleliwe mu nsu neeGriki a·gaʹpe. Nsu nlo nnooniherya osivela woohikhalano nrima onahooleliwa, nari onalamuleliwa moorweela wa malamulo. Liivuru mmoha ooloca: “Agape osivela onawerya olamuleliwa nthowa nawii tahi muupuwelo pahiru, nyenya ti yoothanla ya mmurimani yeeyo enooniheryiwa ni miteko.” Nthowa nawii hiyaano nookhalano mukhalelo wawiichuna mukhatihu, hiyo ninnachuna sawuupuxerya wi nooniherye osivela wa mukina ni mukhwaawe, neerakano hiihaa moovarihana ni makhalelo a malamulo anarweela wa Muluku.—Mapacereryo [Genesis] 8:21; aRoma 5:12.

⁴ Eyo henataphulela wi hiyaano nnaphwanela osivelana mukina ni mukhwaawe nthowa na nlamulo nlo pahiru, hooye. A·gaʹpe hanooniheryiwa ni ochuna ni mawuupuwelo pahiru, hooye. Alocaka ni hiyaano Petro oriye: “Mukhaleno osivela weparipari [“woonyomowa”] mwa nyuwo mkhatinyu.”a (Kingdom Interlinear) Chiryene osivela ntoko iwo onachuneya wiilipixerya vancipale. Alocaka sa nsu neeGriki ntaphuleliwe “weparipari” mulipa oosuwela mmoha oriye: Eyo enooniherya eruku ya mulipa oochimaka oniilipixerya ni ikuru sawe soothene soomaliherya sa mmisipheni mwawe wi aphiye omakuchuwelo wa ochimaka.

⁵ Osivela wahu, honaphwanela wooniheryiwa mu ichu sookhweya pahiru, nari wa achu oothanleya. Osivela weeKiristu onakhweleya ‘onyomola’ murima, wooniherya osivela naamwi ori woovila weerano hiihaa. (2 aKorinto 6:11-13) Mwawiiweyaxa, osivela wawihiihaa ti echu hiyaano nnachunaahu wunnuwiha ni weerano, ntoko mulipa oochimaka oniilipixerya wi akhovelelihe misiphe sawe. Ori woochuneya hiyaano okhalano osivela wawihiihaa wa mukina ni mukhwaawe. Mano ntakhara heeni? Ntakhara mathowa ala mararu.

⁷ Nthowa nanawiili, ori woochuneya vancipale wa hiyaano osivelana mukina ni mukhwaawe hihano wi naakhaviherye anna ahu anahooxeya nthowa nawii “makutchuwelo a itchu sothe sene ari vakhiviru.” (1 Petro 4:7) Hiyaano nnakhala mu “ilukuluku sohósha.” (2 Timoteo 3:1) Makhalelo a elapo, ipahu sa maphacuwelo, ni ovaanyiwa sinnaruuha masooso wa hiyaano. Variyari va makachamiho, hiyaano nnachuna waacamelana mukina ni mukhwaawe. Osivela weeparipari onahaala onithukumanya vamoha, nave oneeriha hiyaano ‘othokororyana mukina ni mukhwaawe.’—1 aKorinto 12:25, 26.

⁸ Nthowa na neeraru, hiyaano nnakhwela osivelana mukina ni mukhwaawe nthowa nawii hiyo hinnachuna ‘omvaha nipuro Musaserya’ wi anihuwelihe. (aEfeso 4:27) Satana onnapwahiherya opharihela muteko ohiphaameya wa anna ahu mu nroromelo—ocecheya waya, soochompa, ni sookwachuliha saya—ntoko maluku ookwachula. Mano munna aloca masu nari aneerela echu ehinooniherya osivela, yaamuneriha okhuma mmulokoni? (Proverpio 12:18) Hooye, wakhala wi hiyaano nookhalano osivela weeparipari wa mukina ni mukhwaawe! Osivela weeparipari onnanikhaviherya hiyaano wi nipwahiherye okhalano murecele ni opharihana wi nimurumeele Muluku ‘nikhata nnikhata.’—Zofoniya 3:9, NM.

¹³ Osivela onnaneeriha hiyaano ohihela mmurimani sookwachuliha sa akina. Upuwelani wi vaavaa Petro aaloponleiye alipa awaalakhanya awe wii: “Mukhaleno osivela weparipari mwa nyuwo mkhatinyu,” owo aaloca nthowa taani ela ekhanlaaya yoochuneyaxa, “ntakhara osivela onuhéla wachasha wa sonanara.” (1 Petro 4:8) ‘Wuuheela’ soocheka honataphulela ‘okhuwa’ soocheka itokotoko. Soocheka itokotoko iho inaphwanela olokohiwa mwawaakuveyaxa wi ithokororyiwe ni yaale arino mirici mmulokoni. (Levitiko 5:1; Proverpio 29:24) Ela yahaala okhala echu yoohisivela—ni yoohivarihana ni Piipiliya—weemererya soocheka itokotoko opwahiherya waaphoreiha nari waahooxa achu ahirino nthowa.—1 aKorinto 5:9-13.

¹⁴ Ikwaha sincipale, sookwachuliha, ni soocheka sa anna ahu mu nroromelo ti ikhaani sene. Oothene yeehu ninnakwachuliwa mu masu nari mu saweera, ilukuluku ikina ninnapharihana mwala nari ophoreihana mukina ni mukhwaawe. (Yakobo 3:2) Mano ti waphaama waakuvela olaleya wa achu sookwachuliha sa akina? Weerano mwawihiihaa waahaala otannya ohiiwanana mmulokoni. (aEfeso 4:1-3) Wakhala wi hiyo ninnalamuleliwa ni osivela hinirwa ‘nimootherya’ nthamwene ahu a mmalapelo. (Saalimu 50:20) Hiihaa ntoko osirika ni etinta onnakhuneela onanara wa exiri, hiihaa tho osivela onnuuheela ohiphaameya wa akina.—Proverpio 17:9.
