Jeova etavela! Ombimbiliya yati: “Iya Jeova apande Abele notyilikutila tyae.” (Gên. 4:4) Ombimbiliya kaityipopi oñgeni Huku alekesa okuti wetyipanda.
22, 23. Oityi Jeova apandelele otyilikutila tya Abele?
22 Oityi Jeova ankho apandela Abele? Okuti omokonda yotyilikutila tyae? Abele waavele otyipako tyifima, amomesa ohonde yatyo yakolela. Okuti Abele ankho utyii okuti otyilikutila ngotyo tyakolela unene? Konyima yomanima omanyingi tunde pomuwo wa Abele, Huku wetavela ovilikutila viongi yasukuka ngo tyilekeso, tyotyilikutila Tyomona Wae “Ongi ya Huku” uhena onkhali ankho meiya okumomesa ohonde yae opo ayovole ovanthu. (João 1:29; Êxo. 12:5-7) Mahi, tyafuile Abele ankho kei ovipuka ovinyingi konthele yotyo.
23 Onthwe tutyii okuti: Abele waavele otyipuka otyinamuenyo ankho ena. Iya Jeova kapandele vala otyiawa otyo, mahi tupu wapandele una wetyiava. Abele walingile ngotyo mokonda ankho walundua nohole ena na Jeova nekolelo liotyotyili.
24. (a) Oityi tutila otyilikutila tya Kaim ankho hatyoko tyapenga? (b) Oñgeni Kaim ankho ekahi ngovanthu ovanyingi hono?
24 Otyo ankho tyelikalela na Kaim. Jeova “kapandele Kaim notyilikutila tyae.” (Gên. 4:5) Otyilikutila tya Kaim ankho hatyoko tyapenga. Ovitumino via Huku, konyima vieya okupopia okuti tyitavela okuava ovilikutila viovikuna. (Lev. 6:14, 15) Mahi Ombimbiliya yapopia konthele ya Kaim okuti: “Ovituwa viae ovivi.” (Tanga 1 João 3:12.) Ngetyi ovanyingi hono vasoka, Kaim wasokele okuti okufenda vala Huku mo mulungu tyatuuka. Ovituwa Viae liwa-liwa vialekesa okuti ankho utupu ekolelo liotyotyili nohole na Jeova.

25 Etyi Kaim amona okuti kapandelwe na Jeova okuti waovolele okulilongesila ku Abele? Au. Wakalele nonkhongo nondenge yae. Jeova wamona etyi tyikahi momutima wa Kaim, iya noumphua-lundo emuviyula, okumulekesa okuti ovituwa viae vipondola okumutuala kokulinga onkhali. Tupu emupopila okuti inkha apilulula onkhalelo yae nae ‘mapandwa’.—Gên. 4:6, 7.
26 Kaim ketavelele elondolo lia Huku. Iya mokonda ankho ondenge yae wemuyumba onthumbi emukongo opo vaye kepia. Iya oko Kaim autukila Abele emuipaa. (Gên. 4:8) Ngotyo, Abele wakala omunthu wotete wayalwa nokuipawa mokonda yokufenda Huku. Abele wankhia, mahi Jeova kemulimbilwe.
27. (a) Omokonda yatyi tuna onthumbi yokuti Abele makatutiliswa? (b) Oñgeni tupondola okukala nonthumbi yokukelivasa na Abele?
27 Ohonde ya Abele ikahi ngatyina iliyavela ku Jeova Huku okuita ekoyeso. Iya Huku walinga ekoyeso, etyi ahitisa ondingavivi Kaim mokonda yokuaipa mukuavo. (Gên. 4:9-12) Tyakolela vali, ehipululo liekolelo lia Abele litulongesa unene hono. Abele wakaleleko otyita tyomanima, mahi omanima ae kaehi okueleka na vakuavo vakaleleko pomuvo opo, mahi omuenyo wae wakolela unene. Oe wankhia otyo etyii okuti Tate yae keulu, Jeova, wemupanda no kumuhole. (Heb. 11:4) Tupondola okukala nonthumbi yokuti Jeova utualako okuhinangela Abele, iya ukevelela okututiliswa opo akale nomuenyo momphangu yombembwa pano pohi. (João 5:28, 29) Okuti ove mokelivasa nae? Upondola okukelivasa nae inkha utokola okutehelela etyi Abele apopia nokuhetekela ekolelo liae enene.
a Onondaka “onthyimbi youye” mbulekesa onthyimbi youye, ngotyo mbupopia konthele yomona wotete wovanthu. Mahi, omokonda yatyi Jesus aeleka Abele “nonthyimbi youye” ahaeleka Kaim omona wotete? Omatokolo novituwa via Kaim vialekesile okuti ankho omphuki ilinga tyawina ovivi komaiho a Jeova Huku. Ngotyo tyimoneka nawa okuti, ngetyi ovohe mavahakatutiliswa nokuyovolwa, na Kaim kamakatutiliswa.
