14. (a) Kodi Rebeka anatsagana ndi ndani? (b) Kodi ndi mtundu wanji wa ulendo umene iwo anayang’anizana nawo?

¹⁴ Rebeka anali ndi otsagana nawo pa ulendo wake. Monga momwe cholemberacho chikulongosolera: “Ndipo adauka Rebeka ndi anamwali ake, nakwera pa ngamila.” (Genesis 24:61) Chotero gulu la ngamilalo linanyamuka pa ulendo wowopsya wa makilomita oposa 800 kupyola gawo lachilendo. “Avereji ya liŵiro la ngamila zosenza katundu,” likulongosola tero bukhu lakuti The Living World of Animals, “iri chifupifupi makilomita 4 pa ora limodzi.” Ngati ngamila za Abrahamu zinayenda pa liŵiro limenelo kwa maora asanu ndi atatu pa tsiku, chingakhale chinawatengera iwo masiku oposa 25 kufika ku malo awo opita ku Negeb.

15. (a) Ndi chitsanzo chabwino chotani chimene tikuwona mwa Eliezere, Rebeka, ndi anamwali ake? (b) Kodi chochitikacho chikuphiphiritsira chiyani?

¹⁵ Eliezere, Rebeka, ndi anamwali ake anakhulupirira kotheratu m’chitsogozo cha Yehova, chitsanzo chabwino kaamba ka Akristu lerolino! (Miyambo 3:5, 6) M’kuwonjezerapo, cholemberacho chiri drama yaulosi yolimbikitsa chikhulupiriro. Monga momwe tawonera, Abrahamu amaimira Yehova Mulungu, yemwe anapereka Mwana wake wokondedwa, Isake Wamkulu, kotero kuti anthu ochimwa angapeze moyo wosatha. (Yohane 3:16) Kukonzekera kwa ukwati wa Isake kunabwera nthaŵi ina iye atapulumutsidwa ku imfa pa guwa loperekerako nsembe. Chinali cholosera kukonzekera kaamba ka ukwati wa kumwamba, kukonzekera komwe kunayamba mofunitsitsa pambuyo pa kuwukitsidwa kwa Yesu.

16. (a) Ndimotani, moyenerera, mmene mtumiki wa Abrahamu akuchitira chithunzi mzimu woyera wa Mulungu? (b) Ndi funso lotani lomwe lingafunsidwe ponena za mzimu ndi mkwatibwi?

¹⁶ Dzina la Eliezere limatanthauza kuti “Mulungu Wanga Ndi Mthandizi.” M’dzina ndi m’kachitidwe, iye moyenerera akuchitira chithunzi mzimu woyera wa Abrahamu Wamkulu, Yehova Mulungu, umene Iye anatumiza ku dziko lino la kutali, dziko lathu lapansi, kudzasankha mkwati woyenerera kaamba ka Isake Wamkulu, Yesu Kristu. (Yohane 14:26; 15:26) Gulu la mkwatibwi liri “mpingo,” wopangidwa ndi ophunzira a Yesu omwe adzozedwa ndi mzimu woyera monga ana auzimu a Mulungu. (Aefeso 5:25-27; Aroma 8:15-17) Monga mmene Rebeka analandirira mphatso za mtengo, momwemonso ziŵalo zoyambirira za mpingo Wachikristu pa tsiku la Pentekoste wa 33 C.E. zinalandira mphatso zozizwitsa m’kuchitira umboni chiitano chawo chaumulungu. (Machitidwe 2:1-4) Mofanana ndi Rebeka, iwo mofunitsitsa asiya maunansi a kudziko ndi akuthupi ndi cholinga chakuti potsirizira pake akagwirizane ndi Mkwati wawo wakumwamba. Kuyambira pa nthaŵi imene chiŵalo chirichonse cha gulu la mkwatibwi chaitanidwa kufikira imfa yawo, iwo ayenera kuchinjiriza unamwali wawo wauzimu pamene akuyenda kupyola dziko lowopsya, lachinyengo la Satana. (Yohane 15:18, 19; 2 Akorinto 11:3; Yakobo 4:4) Lodzazidwa ndi mzimu woyera, gulu la mkwatibwi mokhulupirika likuitana ena kutengako mbali mu makonzedwe a Yehova kaamba ka chipulumutso. (Chibvumbulutso 22:17) Kodi mumatsatira chitsanzo chake mwa kuvomerezanso ku chitsogozo cha mzimuwo?

17. (a) Nchiyani chomwe ngamila khumi zikuchitira chithunzi? (b) Nchiyani chomwe chiyenera kukhala mkhalidwe wathu kulinga ku Baibulo ndi kulinga ku zofalitsidwa zozikidwa pa Baibulo zokonzekeredwa ndi gulu la mkwatibwi? (Machitidwe 17:11)

¹⁷ Gulu la mkwatibwi limawona kukhala cha mtengo wapamwamba chomwe chikuchitiridwa chithunzi ndi ngamila khumi. Chiŵerengero cha khumi chikugwiritsiridwa ntchito m’Baibulo kutanthauza ungwiro kapena kukwanira m’chigwirizano ndi zinthu za pa dziko lapansi. Ngamila khumizo zingayerekezedwe ku Mawu a Mulungu okwanira ndi angwiro, kupyolera mwa amene gulu la mkwatibwi limalandira chakudya chauzimu ndi mphatso zauzimu. (Yohane 17:17; Aefeso 1:13, 14; 1 Yohane 2:5) Ikumachitira ndemanga pa kumwetsa madzi ngamila kwa Rebeka, Nsanja ya Olonda ya November 1, 1948, (m’Chingelezi) inapanga kugwiritsira ntchito uku ku gulu la mkwatibwilo: “Iwo mwachikondi amalingalira Mawu a Mulungu omwe amabweretsa wochulukira wa mzimu wake kwa iwo. Iwo amatenga chikondwerero m’Mawu ake olembedwa, kuwapereka iwo ndi kuwakhalitsa atsopano mwa kusamalira ku iwo ndi kusonyeza kudera nkhaŵa kowona mtima kaamba ka uthenga wake ndi chifuno, kufunafuna kukhulupirira iwo.” Monga chitsanzo cha ichi, otsalira a gulu la mkwatibwi mwachikondi apangitsa kukhalako kwa mamiliyoni, New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures yokonzedwanso chatsopano. Kaya matembenuzidwe abwino amenewa alimo m’chinenero chanu kapena ayi, kodi inu mumasonyeza chiyamikiro mwa kusanthula Baibulo mokhazikika limodzi ndi zothandizira phunziro zoperekedwa ndi gulu la mkwatibwi?​—2 Timoteo 3:16.

18. Nchifukwa ninji anamwali a Rebeka moyenerera akuchitira chithunzi mabwenzi a mkwatibwi lerolino?

¹⁸ M’masiku ano omalizira a dziko la Satana, otsalira a gulu la mkwatibwi agwirizana ndi “khamu lalikulu,” loyerekezedwa ndi “anamwali” a Rebeka. Mofanana ndi m’nkhani ya Rebeka, awa mopambana amaposa gulu la mkwatibwi lokwanira mwa chiŵerengero cha 144,000. Iwo ali “khamu lalikulu” la “nkhosa zina” za Yesu Kristu. (Chibvumbulutso 7:4, 9; Yohane 10:16) Monga anamwali okhulupirika a mkwatibwiyo, iwo ayeneranso kukhala omasuka kuchokera ku kuipitsidwa ndi dziko loipa la Satana. Iwo nawonso ayenera kuvomereza ku zitsogozo za mzimu wa Yehova ndi Mawu ake monga momwe zalongosoledwera kwa iwo ndi gulu la mkwatibwi. Koma mphoto yawo iri yosiyana. Ngati iwo apirira m’kuchirikiza kokhulupirika kwa mkwatibwi wa Kristu, iwo adzapulumuka mapeto a dziko la Satana ndi kukhala ndi mwaŵi wosangalatsa wa kukhala ndi moyo kosatha m’paradaiso ya pa dziko lapansi.​—Chibvumbulutso 21:3, 4.
