MONTHIKI imwe komuhuka, Muvali 2 ya Kayovo yo 1947, otyikundyi otyitutu tyo vakuatate ovalembulwa vatunda ko Mbetele yo Brooklyn, ko Nova York, vahimbika otyilinga tyimwe otyinene. Otyilinga otyo ankho katyapepukile, mahi vatualako okutyilinga momanima 12 alandulako. Okuhulililako mo Tyalumingu, 13 ya Tyitalale yo 1960, vamanuhula okupitiya onthele yahulililako Yombimbiliya omphe.

Onondaka mbokuhimbika mbo Tradução do Novo Mundo yalekeswa monthiki oyo, mbati: “Otyipuka tyakolela vali Mombimbiliya ei, okukondola enyina lia Huku pomphangu liayo.” Ngotyo, Ombimbiliya Tradução do Novo Mundo, ipopia enyina lia Huku, Jeova, ovikando vilamba po 7.000. Ombimbiliya ei, ikahi nokunkhimaneka enyina lia Tate keulu, Jeova!

3 Omanima okualamba, Ovalilongesi Vombimbiliya vanoñgonoka okuti enyina lia Huku lihangununa okuti “Ame ndyikahi ngetyi ndyikahi.” (Êxo. 3:14, Version King James) Omutala Womulavi wa 1 ya Kupupu yo 1926, wati: “Enyina Jeova lihangununa okuti Una uhatungilwe, . . . Una uhena onthyimbi nonthyulilo.” Ngotyo, etyi ovapitiyi vahimbika okupitiya o Tradução do Novo Mundo, Jeova wakuatesako ovanthu vae okunoñgonoka okuti enyina liae kalilekesa vala okuti oe katungilwe, mahi haunene o Huku yevangelo novilinga.

Ovikuavo vivali ovievi: “Ouhamba wove uye.

Monondaka ononkhuavo, tukahi nokuita Jeova opo asukukise enyina liae kesilo liapakwa tunde koumphuki wo mo Endene. Oñgeni Jeova makumbulula elikuambelo? Oe wati: “Ame tyotyili mandyisukukisa enyina liange enene, likahi nokusiliswa novanthu vomalongo.” (Eze. 36:23; 38:23) Mo Armagedon, tyina amanyimiko ovivi, Jeova makasukukisa enyina liae komaiho ovipuka aviho atunga.

Tupu, tulisukisika tyina tukala nonthilo na muene walio, nokukuatesako vakuetu vaimbuke okuti enyina olio liasukuka. Onthue matulekesa haunene okuti tuna onthilo nokuapanda enyina lia Huku tyina tuimbuka okuti Jeova Omutumini wetu, nokutavela kwe nomutima auho.—Pro. 3:1; Apo. 4:11.

Oñgeni Jeova apongiya Ovalilongesi ovo Vombimbiliya votete, opo vatyinde enyina liae?
8 Okutala konyima, konthyulilo yomanima 1800 alo konthyimbi yomanima 1900, tuimbuka okuti Jeova waavela ovanthu vae enoñgonoko liotyili tyakolela konthele yenyina liae. Potyili otyo tutalei po vitatu.

9 Tete, ovaumbili va Jeova vahimbika okutala esilivilo lienyina lia Huku monkhalelo yaviuka. Ovalilongesi vekolelo Vombimbiliya vaimbuka okuti otyilikutila tyeyovo elongeso liavilapo lio Mbimbiliya.

Omutala Womulavi 15 ya Tyitalale yo 1976, wapopia konthele yomanima otete Ovalilongesi Vombimbiliya, okuti “vaavelele unene esilivilo lihaviukile” Jesus. Mokueenda kuomuvo Jeova wevekuatesako okuimbuka esilivilo Ombimbiliya yaavela enyina lia Huku. Oñgeni otyo tyakalesa Ovalilongesi Vombimbiliya? Haunene tunde mo 1919 okuenda no komutwe, onthele oyo Yomutala Womulavi, yati, “vahimbika okunkhimaneka vali Jeova Tate ya Mesiya keulu.” Omanima ekwi alandula ko 1919, Omutala Womulavi wapopia enyina lia Huku ovikando vilamba 6.500!
10 Mokuaavela enyina lia Jeova omunkhima liatokala, ovakuatate vetu valekesa okuti vehole enyina lia Huku. Nga Moisesi kohale, “vaivisa enyina lia Jeova.” (Deut. 32:3; Sal. 34:3) Moluotyo, ngetyi Ovihonekwa vialaa, Jeova wamona ohole vena nenyina liae, iya evepande.—Sal. 119:132; Heb. 6:10.
11, 12. (a) Omonkhalelo patyi omikanda vietu viapiluluka konyima yo 1919? (b) Oityi ankho Jeova ekahi nokulekesa kovaumbili vae, omokonda yatyi?

Konyima yotyo, omikanda vietu avihimbika okupiluluka. Omokonda yatyi epiluluko olio, liakalela “okulia momuvo wanakua”?—Mat. 24:45.

Tala onongeleka onombali. Ehunga patyi liavilapo Huku ayovolela ova Isilayeli ko Egitu? Jeova wati: “Opo enyina liange liiviswe mouye auho.” (Êxo. 9:16) Iya omokonda yatyi Jeova akalela nokankhenda no va Isilayeli etyi vemutyitukilapo vali? Jeova apopi vali okuti: “Ame nalinga ngotyo mokonda yenyina liange, opo lihapopiwe omapita komalongo.” (Eze. 20:8-10) Oityi Ovalilongesi Vombimbiliya velilongesila komahipululo oo Ombimbiliya nomakuavo?
14. (a) Tunde konthyulilo yomanima 1920, oityi ovanthu va Huku vaimbuka? (b) Enoñgonoko enene Ovalilongesi Vombimbiliya vakala nalio lievekalesa ñgeni movilinga viokuivisa? (Tala okakasa kati “Ehunga Enene pala Okuivisa.”)
14 Konthyulilo yomanima 1920, ovanthu va Huku vanoñgonoka etyi tyihangununa onondaka Isaia apopia omanima 2.700 konyima. Konthele ya Jeova oe wati: “Ongotyo wahongolela ovanthu vove, opo unkhimaneke enyina liove.” (Isa. 63:14) Ovalilongesi Vombimbiliya vanoñgonoka okuti otyipuka tyakolela vali, heyovo lia kese umwe, mahi okunkhimaneka enyina lia Huku. (Isa. 37:20; Eze. 38:23) Mo 1929, omukanda utiwa Profecia wahangununa otyili otyo okuti: “Enyina lia Jeova, otyipuka tyakolela unene kovipuka aviho atunga.” Enoñgonoko olio epe lialunda ovaumbili va Huku okuava oumbangi konthele ya Jeova nokusukukisa enyina liae kounkhembi.

Etyi palamba katutu, Jeova “ahimbika okutala nawa momalongo, opo aholovone-mo ovanthu pala enyina liae.” (Atos 15:14) Ovanthu ovo ovape vaholovonwa, avaihanwa okuti “o Isilayeli ya Huku,” ovalanduli ovalembulwa va Kristu, vatunda momalongo omanyingi.—Gál 6:16.
17. Eliva patyi Satanasi evila okuundapesa nawa?
17 Menima 44 P.K., ovalongwa va Kristu, “kehando lia Huku vaihanwa okuti Ovakristau.” (Atos 11:26) Potete, enyina olio ankho o liavo vala, ankho olio Vakristau votyotyili vala.

Moluotyo, momanima omanyingi, ankho katyapepukile okupunga Ovakristau votyotyili ko Vakristau vouye. Mahi, otyo tyahimbika okupiluluka mokueenda “kuomuvo wokuteya,” wahimbika mo 1914. Omokonda yatyi? Omokonda ono andyu mbahimbika okupunga Ovakristau vouye ko votyotyili.—Mat. 13:30, 39-41.

Etyi vasoka ngotyo, kapakalele ehimbwe avaimbuka okuti enyina “Ovalilongesi Vombimbiliya” kalivepungu. Otyilinga tyavo tyotete, hakulilongesa vala Ombimbiliya, okuava oumbangi konthele ya Huku, okuhumba nokunkhimaneka enyina liae. Ngotyo, enyina patyi lielikuata novilinga ankho vekahi nokulinga? Epulo olio liakumbululwa menima 1931.

Ankho tuahambukwa mokonda pahe tuna enyina litukuatesako okunkhimaneka enyina lia Huku yetu.” Konyima yotyonge otyo, Onombangi vamwe avaundapesa onkhalelo omphe yokunkhimaneka enyina lia Huku. Ankho vahimbika etompho, mokulekesa kovanthu otyikalatau tyahonekwa okuti: “Umwe po nombangi mba JEOVA wivisa Ouhamba wa JEOVA Huku yetu.” Tyotyili, ovanthu va Huku ankho vahambukwa okutyinda enyina Jeova.

“Keumbo tuatunda-ko Tuvalilongesi Vombimbiliya, mahi tuakondoka Tunombangi mba Jeova”

Mahi, mokonda tunombangi mba Huku, tumoneka vali nawa okuti tuelikalela. (Tanga Miquéias 4:5; Malaquias 3:18.) Tyotyili, enyina lia Huku lietukuata nawa, kese munthu ulitumbula hono, liwa-liwa vemuihana okuti Ombangi ya Jeova. Onongeleya mbomatutu mbokukahi ngo nomphunda ononyingi, kambevilile okuholeka efendelo liotyotyili.
