Etyi Jonata eiva okuti David waipaa Goliya, ‘omutima wa Jonata auhambukilwa unene omutima wa David, iya Jonata ahimbika okukala nohole onene nae ngetyi ankho ehole omuenyo wae muene.’(1 Samuel 18:1, 3) Jonata alo umue walondolele David puetyi ankho Saulu ahanda okumuipaa. Puetyi David atila, Jonata wekemuovolele avelivasi, iya alingi omphango nae. (1 Samuel 18:1, 3) Etyi Jonata apopia na Saulu konthele ya David, atyihande okumuipaesa.

Oluembia luove ankho olunene vali, tyipona oluembia luovakai.’ (2 Samuel 1:26) Ohole ankho vena pokati kavo, ankho oluembia luomapanga, haholeko yomulume uhanda okulala nomulume mukuavo. David na Jonata ankho vali omapanga otyotyili.

Jotau omona wa Gideau wati: ‘Onthiki imue omiti viekelivialekela ohamba opo ivitumine.’ Papopiwa omuti womundyambi, nomuvinyu. Omiti ovio, ankho vilekesa ovanthu vokuayumbwa onthumbi ankho vahahande okutumina ovakuatate vavo ova Isilayeli. Mahi, omunkhondo omungonga—ankho wokusilivila vala pala ononkhuii—ankho ulekesa outumini wa Abimeleke womalityindailo, omuipai ankho uhanda okumonesa vakuavo ononkhumbi. Abimeleke ‘watumina ova Isilayeli omanima etatu,’ ankhi ononkhia onombi. (Juízes 9:8-15, 22, 50-54) Tyotyili, okukala “nomutima weliola, otyiwa!”

Tunkhimanekei Huku wetuavela ovilinga ovio.—1 Coríntios 4:6, 7; Tiago 4:6.

11, 12. Oñgeni ongeleka ya Enoke ilekesa okuti Jeova wavela ovaumbili vae omutima wakola nononkhono?
11 Inkha tuendela monondyila mba Jeova nomutima weliola, metuavela omutima wakola nononkhono. (Deuteronômio 31:6-8, 23) Enoke omulume wepanduvali mombuto ya Andau, waendele na Huku nomutima wakola, mokonda watuaileko novituwa oviwa pokati konondingavivi kononthiki mbae. (Gênesis 5:21-24) Jeova wapamekele Enoke opo apopile ovanthu ovo ekoyeso liae, mokonda ovituwa viavo ovivi no nondaka mbavo ankho vinumanesa Huku. (Tanga Judas 14, 15.) Okuti ove una omutima wakola pala okuivisa omakoyeso a Huku?
12 Jeova wakoyesile onondingavivi Mombila Onene kononthiki mba Noe. Etyi tyaenda kononthiki mba Noe tyitukuatesako okutavela okuti tupu, onondingavivi mbo hono mambukanyimuako no noandyu mba Huku. (Revelação [Apocalipse] 16:14-16; 19:11-16) Jeova ukumbulula omalikuambelo etu, okutuavela omutima wakola opo tuivise omakoyeso ae, nouwa maukakala moutumini Wouhamba wae.
13. Omokonda yatyi tuakalela nonthumbi yokuti Huku metuavela omutima wakola nononkhono, opo tukoleleye tyina tuvasiwa novitateka?
13 Onthue tuesukisa omutima wakola nononkhono Huku aava, opo tufinde ovitateka. Etyi Esau anepa ovakai ova Hitita, ankho ‘tyaihamesile unene omitima viovo [he] Isake na Rebeka.’ Rebeka eliyave okuti: ‘Nepuila unene nomuenyo wange mokonda yovana va Hete. Inkha Jako nae unepa ovana votyilongo etyi vekahi ngovana ava, opo oityi ame ndyikalela vali nomuenyo?’ (Gênesis 26:34, 35; 27:46) Isake anoñgonoka nawa onondaka ombo, iya atumu Jako okukaovola omukai pokati ka vana vafenda Jeova. Namphila Isake na Rebeka kavetyivilile okupilula etyi Esau alinga, mahi, Huku wevepele onondunge, nomutima wakola, nokuvepameka opo vatualeko nekolelo. Inkha tulikuambela okuita ombatelo, nonthue Jeova metukuatesako.—Salmo 118:5
14. Oñgeni omukainthu omu Isilayeli alekesile okuti ankho wakola omutima?
14 Ovityita viomanima konyima, omukainthu umue omu Isilayeli, akuatwa nomafualali oko Siria. Omukainthu oo, akala omupika womutumini womafualali o Siria ankho utiwa o Naama, wokuna ouvela wotyilundu.

Moluotyo, nomutima wakola apopila omukai wa Naama okuti: ‘Inkha tatekulu yange aile vala komuuli wa Jeova ko Isilayeli, ñgeno wemuvelula otyilundu tyae.’ Naama aende ko Isilayeli, iya komahuviso aveluka. (2 Reis 5:1-3) Omukainthu oo, waavela ovana ongeleka ongwa. Inkha navo vayumba onthumbi mu Jeova, mevepe omutima wakola opo vetyivile okuivisa ondaka yae kovalongesi vavo na vana valongeswa navo, navakuavo vali!
15. Oñgeni Obadia omuundapi wa Akabe, alekesile okuti ankho wakola omutima?

Etyi Onkhai-Hamba Jezabele atuma okuipaa ovauli va Huku, Obadia aholekapo 100 yavo meleva, okuveyapula ‘ononthumbo onombali mbokuna 50 kese imue.’ (1 Reis 18:13; 19:18) Okuti ove wakola omutima pala okuvatela ovakuatate Ovakristau tyina vamoneswa ononkhumbi, nga Obadia waholekele ovauli va Jeova?
16, 17. Oñgeni Aristarku na Gayu vakalele etyi vamoneswa ononkhumbi?
16 Inkha tukahi nokumoneswa ononkhumbi, tupondola okuyumba onthumbi yokuti Jeova metukuatesako. (Romanos 8:35-39) Aristarku na Gayu ankho vaundapa kumue na Paulu, vamonesilwe ononkhumbi novanthu ovanyingi, pomphangu imue ankho palingilwa ovinyano mo Efesu. Demetriu omulume umue ankho wokuhonga ovilolo, oe wahongiliyile ovanthu ovo. Demetriu na vakuavo, ankho vahonga ovilolo vio huku itiwa o Artemisi, otyo valandesa. Mahi, ankho vena owoma wokuti otyitanda tyavo otyo, kamatyiende vali, mokonda ovanthu ovanyingi mepundaumbo ankho vayekapo okufenda ovilolo etyi veiva ondaka ya Huku Paulu aivisa. Mokonda ovanthu ovo kavavasile Paulu, vakuata Aristarku na Gayu, avevekokololela potyila opo, avakuilila okuti: ‘Artimisi yo va Efesu oe omunene!’ Tyafuile Aristarku na Gayu ankho vasoka okuti mavaipawa, mahi omulume umue omuhoneki womepundaumbo aviyula ovanthu ovo.—Atos 19:23—41.
17 Inkha ove wapitile motyitateka ngotyo, okuti ñgeno wasoka okuti otyitateka otyo tyapepuka? Kutupu natyike tyilekesa okuti Aristarku na Gayu vasoyele. Mokonda ankho Aristarku omu Tesalonika, ankho utyii okuti tyina omunthu aivisa onondaka onongwa upondola okuyalwa novanthu. Onthiki imue ovanthu vautukilile Paulu puetyi ankho ekahi nokuivisa mo Tesalonika. (Atos 17:5; 20:4) Mokonda Aristarku na Gayu ankho vaendela monondyila mba Jeova, Huku wevepele omutima wakola nononkhono opo vakoleleye tyina vamoneswa ononkhumbi.
Tala Komasuka-suka Avakuenyi
18. Oñgeni Priska na Akila ankho ‘vatala’ komasuka-suka avakuavo?

Omulume oo nomukai wae, vaavelele Paulu ondyuo yokukala mo Efesu, muna Demetriu omuhongi wovilolo atetekela okuhongiliya ovanthu okukuata Paulu. Otyo, tyahindilile Akila na Priska ‘okupaka omienyo viavo’ motyiponga mokonda ya Paulu. (Romanos 16:3, 4; 2 Coríntios 1:8) Hono, okusukalala novakuatate vetu vamoneswa ononkhumbi, tyitukalesa ‘tyalunguka ngo nonyoka.’ (Mateus 10:16-18) Onthue tulinga ovilinga vietu nokualunguka, nokuanya okupakula ovakuatate vetu, okuhapopila onondyale omanyina avo novipuka ovikuavo vali.
19. Ovipuka patyi oviwa Dorka ankho alingila vakuavo?

(Efésios 4:28; Tiago 2:14-17) Mewaneno lio ko Jope kotyita tyotete, muali omukai umue omukuatyali ankho utiwa o Dorka. (Tanga Atos 9:36-42.) Dorka ‘mokankhenda kae ankho wava ovipuka ovinyingi’ nokutungila ovikutu ovahepe omapongo. Etyi ankhia menima 36 Pomuvo wa Kristu, ovahepe avalili unene. Iya apostolu Paulu kononkhono mba Huku, atutilisa Dorka. Moluotyo, momanima akala vali nomuenyo, Dorka alingi vali unene ovipuka oviwa pala vakuavo nokuivisa onondaka onongwa.

20 Onthue matulekesa okuti tutala komasuka-suka avakuetu, inkha tuvepameka. (Romanos 1:11, 12) Sila mundyila ya Paulu movilinga viokuivisa, ankho upameka unene vakuavo. Etyi otyitateka tyokupita ekuendye tyapwa okutetululwa menima 49 Pomuvo wa Kristu, Ononkhalamutue mbo Vakristau mo Jelusalei avatumu Ovakuatate pala okutuala omikanda vietokolo liavo komawaneno aeho. Sila, na Juda, na Barnabe, na Paulu vatuaile vio ko Antiokia. Iya oko, Sila na Juda ‘vaavela ondundo ovakuatate nomalongomona omanyingi nokuvepameka.’—Atos 15:32.

Matyipameka oupanga wetu na Jeova, una utuavela ‘onondunge, nenoñgonoko, nehambu.’ (Eclesiastes 2:26) Okulinga ngotyo, tupondola okuhambukiswa omutima wa Huku. (Provérbios 27:11) Tutokolei okuhambukiswa omutima wa Jeova, mokutualako okuendela monondyila mbae.
