“Tyetyi, inkha tuna omuenyo, tukahiko pala Jeova.”—ROMANOS 14:8.
1. Jesus walongesa onkhalelo patyi ongwa yomuenyo?
JEOVA uhanda tukale nonkhalelo ongwa yomuenyo. Ovanthu vena ononkhalelo mbelikalaila mbomuenyo, mahi kuna vala onkhalelo ike yaviuka. Onthue natyike otyiwa tupondola okulinga tyehelikuatele Nondaka ya Huku nokulilongesila Komona wae, Jesus Kristu. Jesus walongesa ovalanduli vae okufenda Huku nospilitu notyili, nokuvetuma okulinga ovalongwa. (Mateus 28:19, 20; João 4:24) Mokutyinda omuenyo welikuata no nondonga mba Jesus, tuhambukiswa Jeova nokutambula ononkhano onongwa Mbae.
2. Oñgeni ovanthu ovanyingi kohale vetavelele onondaka Mbouhamba, iya oityi valinga opo veye “Mondyila”?
2 Tyina vana “vahanda omuenyo wahapu” vetavela avambatisalwa, onthue tuna omahunga okuti “Liepeiko mueya mondyila ongwa yomuenyo!” (Atos 13:48) Mokueenda kuotyita tyotete Pomuvo wa Kristu, ovanthu ovanyingi vomalongo elikalaila vetavelele otyili avalekesa kovanyingi elipakulo liavo ku Huku avambatisalwa. (Atos 2:41) Ovalongwa ovo ovape aveya “Mondyila.” (Atos 9:2; 19:23) Onondaka ombo mbaviuka, mokonda ovanthu ovo vakala ovalanduli va Kristu, aveya mondyila ongwa yomuenyo, okukala nekolelo mu Jesus Kristu nokuhetekela ongeleka yae.—1 Pedro 2:21.
3. Omokonda yatyi ovanthu va Jeova vambatisalwa? Oñgeni tyihole okumoneka momanima ekwi okualamba?
3 Ovilinga viokulinga ovalongwa vikahi nokulingwa nondyanga mononthiki mbuno mbonthyulilo iya hono vikahi nokulingwa movilongo 230. Mokueenda kuomanima ekwi okualamba, ovanthu valamba po 2.700.000 valinga etokolo liavo liokuumbila Jeova nokumbatisalwa okulekesa elipakulo liavo kwe. Tyilekesa okuti kese osimano kuambatisalwa ovanthu valamba po 5.000! Etokolo olio liokumbatisalwa lituka kohole vena na Huku, nenoñgonoko lio Vihonekwa, nekolelo muetyi valongeswa. Ombatisimu yakolela unene momuenyo wetu, mokonda tuahimbika oupanga omuwa na Jeova. Tupu ilekesa okuti tuna onthumbi yokuti metukuatesako opo tumuumbile nekolelo, ngetyi akuatesileko ovaumbili vae vokohale okuendela mondyila yae.—Isaías 30:21.
Omokonda Yatyi Ombatisimu Yesukisila?
4, 5. Popiapo ononkhano mbumue onongwa nouwa utundilila kokumbatisalwa.
4 Hamwe ove unale enoñgonoko lia Huku, nokupilulula omuenyo wove, iya umuivisi uhenembatisalwe. Okulinga ngotyo tyipandesa. Okuti walinga elipakulo liove ku Huku, nokukevelela okumbatisalwa? Melilongeso liove Liombimbiliya, pahe wanoñgonoka nawa okuti nomuenyo wove una okuhivilika Jeova, ohelipande ove muene ine okuovola omalumono. (Tanga Salmo 148:11-13; Lucas 12:15) Ngotyo, ononkhaneno patyi mbumue onongwa nouwa utundilila kokumbatisalwa?
5 Mokonda Umukristau welipakula, omuenyo wove una otyilinga otyinene. Ove mohambukwa mokonda ukahi nokulinga ehando lia Huku. (Romanos 12:1, 2) Ononkhono mba Jeova mbutuvatela okukala novituwa ngo via Huku ombembwa nekolelo. (Gálatas 5:22, 23) Huku makumbulula omalikuambelo ove nokukupa ononkhono mbokutyinda omuenyo welikuata Nondaka yae. Ovilinga viove viokuivisa mavikekuetela ehambu, iya okutyinda omuenyo Huku apanda matyikukuatesako okukala nekevelo liomuenyo wahapu. Tupu, okulinga elipakulo nokumbatisalwa tyilekesa okuti tyili-tyili wahanda okukala Ombangi ya Jeova.—Isaías 43:10-12.
6. Ombatisimu yetu itunoñgonokesa tyi?
6 Tyina tuelipakula ku Huku nokumbatisalwa, tunoñgonokwa okuti tuvanthu va Jeova. Paulu wahoneka okuti: “Puonthue petupu nawike ukalako pala oe muene, tupu nawike unkhia pala oe muene. Tyetyi, inkha tuna omuenyo, tukahiko pala Jeova, inkha tunkhia, tunkhila Jeova. Moluotyo, tyilinge tuna omuenyo ine tuankhia, onthue tuvanthu va Jeova.” (Romanos 14:7, 8) Huku wetupanda mokuetuavela epondolo liokuholovona. Tuatokola okuendela monkhalelo ngoyo yomuenyo mokonda tuna ohole na Huku, nokuhambukiswa omutima wae. (Provérbios 27:11) Nombatisimu yetu nelipakulo lietu ku Huku nekumbululo lietu mounyingi tulekesa okuti Jeova Omutumini wetu. Otyo tyilekesa okuti tuamena ouhamba wae ouye auho. (Atos 5:29, 32) Moluotyo, Jeova nae metuamena. (Tanga Salmo 118:6.) Ombatisimu tupu iikula ondyila opo tutambule ononkhano ononkhuavo ononyingi onongwa pahetyino nokomutue.
Okulinga Onthele Yovakuatate Ouye Auho Otyiwa
7-9. (a) Onthumbi patyi Jesus aavela vana vasapo ovipuka aviho avemulandula? (b) Oñgeni omulao wa Jesus mu Marcos 10:29, 30 ukahi nokufuiswapo?
7 Apostolu Petulu wapopila Jesus okuti: “Tala! Onthue tuasapo ovipuka aviho atukulandula. Oityi matukapewa?” (Mateus 19:27) Petulu novalongwa ovakuavo va Jesus ankho wahanda okunoñgonoka oityi makamona komutwe. Pala okulipaka movilinga viokuivisa Ouhamba, omuvo auho, ankho tyesukisa okulinga ononkhono ononene. (Mateus 4:18-22) Oñgeni Jesus evekuatesako?
8 Ngetyi tyipopia onondaka mbukahi mu Marku, Jesus walekesa kovalongwa vae okuti mavalingi onthele movakuatate vopaspilitu ouye auho. Oe wati: “Naumwe wasapo eumbo liae, novakulu vae no nomphange mbae, ine oina, ine ohe, ine ovana, ine omapia, mokonda yange no yonondaka onongwa, uhakatambula pahetyino, momuvo uno, etyi tyilamba povityita ekwi vio maumbo, novakuatate, no nomphange, novoina, novana, nomapia, kumwe no nonkhumbi, nomuenyo wahapu mouye omupe.” (Marcos 10:29, 30) Ovakristau vokohale, Lidia, na Akila, na Prisila, na Gaiu, ovo vamwe povakuatate vaavele “omaumbo” avo nokukala “ovakuatate no nomphange” mbovakuatate vavo, ngetyi Jesus alaele.—Atos 16:14, 15; 18:2-4; 3 João 1, 5-8.
9 Etyi Jesus apopile tyikahi nokufuisuapo haunene hono. Movalanduli vae ovaivisi ovanyingi vasapo “omaumbo avo,” okukutikinyamo onomisionaliu, nonombunga mbo Mbetele, novakuatate vokutunga ouye auho, novakuavo vali, vahanda okuundapa vali unene movilinga vio Uhamba movilongo vielikalaila. Ovakuatate ovanyingi no nomphange vasapo omaumbo avo okutavela okutyinda omuenyo wapepuka. Otyo tyiveetela vali ombembwa okutehelela okuti Jeova ukahi nokuvevatela nokutala oñgeni okumuumbila tyietela ehambu. (Atos 20:35) Tupu, ovaumbili aveho va Jeova vokuambatisalwa vapondola okuhambukilwa ononkhano onongwa “mokuovola tete ouhamba nouviuki wa [Huku]” mokulinga onthele yovakuatate Ovakristau ouye auho.—Mateus 6:33.
Eameno “Momphangu Yaholama”
10, 11. Oityi “omphangu yaholama Yomukulami,” iya oñgeni tupondola okuvasa omphangu oyo?
10 Okulipakula nokumbatisalwa tyieta ononkhaneno onkhuavo unene—elao limue enene okukala “momphangu yaholama Yomukulami.” (Tanga Salmo 91:1.) Omphangu yaholama otyilekeso tyeameno liopaspilitu. ‘Omphangu oyo yaholama’ mokonda kaiiwe novanthu veheetepo mopaspilitu nokuhei otyili tya Huku. Okutyinda omuenyo welipaka kumwe nelipakulo lietu nokuyumba onthumbi mu Jeova, ongatyina tukahi nokuti: “Jeova ove tyiholamo tyange, nomuameni wange. Ove Huku yange, una nayumba onthumbi.” (Salmo 91:2) Jeova Huku ukala eholamo lietu. (Salmo 91:9) Oityi upondola okuovola vali tyipona omphangu oyo?
11 Okuvasa ‘omphangu oyo yaholama’ ya Jeova tupu tyilekesa ouwa wokukala nelao liokulinga nae oupanga. Oupanga oo uhimbika nelipakulo nombatisimu. Anthi, tupameka oupanga wetu na Huku mokulilongesa nawa Ombimbiliya nokulikuambela noukuatyili, nokutavela vala kwe. (Tiago 4:8) Petupu nawike wali noupanga omuwa na Jeova tyipona Jesus, una ankho uyumba onthumbi apeho mo Mupakeko wae. (João 8:29) Ngotyo, tuahatombei Jeova ine ehando liae nounongo wokutukuatesako okufuisapo elipakulo lietu. (Eclesiastes 5:4) Onkhuta yopaspilitu Huku aavela ovanthu vae ilekesa nawa okuti utuhole nokuhanda tumuumbile nehambu.
Panda Opalaisu Yetu Yopaspilitu
12, 13. (a) Oityi opalaisu yopaspilitu? (b) Oñgeni tupondola okukuatesako ovape?
12 Okulipakula nokumbatisalwa tupu tyituikulila ondyila opo tuvase ouwa wokukala mopalaisu yopaspilitu. Oyo omphangu yelikalela muvasiwa vana tufenda navo, vena ombembwa na Jeova Huku na kese umue na mukuavo. (Salmo 29:11; Isaías 54:13) Ouye utupu natyike otyiwa tyipondola okuelekwa nopalaisu yetu yopaspilitu. Otyo tyimoneka haunene movionge viovilongo ovinyingi, muna ovakuatate nonomphange vatunda momalongo, nomalaka, novivala vielikalaila, vakala kumwe nombembwa, newaneko, nohole yovakuatate.
13 Opalaisu yopaspilitu muna onthue tukahi, yelikalela unene nouye uno wovivi unene. (Tanga Isaías 65:13, 14.) Mokuivisa onondaka Mbouhamba, tukala nelao limue enene liokukonga vakuetu opo vanyingile mopalaisu yopaspilitu. Tupu elao enene okuvatela vana veya okuliongiya nonthue mewaneno nokuvelongesa movilinga viokuivisa. Tupondola okukala nelao liokuholovonwa novakulu vewaneno, opo tukuateseko ovape, ngetyi tyalingile Akila na Prisila ‘vahangununinine vali nawa Apolu ondyila ya Huku’.—Atos 18:24-26.
Tualako Okulilongesila ku Jesus
14, 15. Okuti onthue tuna omahunga pala okutualako okulilongesila ku Jesus?
14 Tuna omahunga omanyingi pala okutualako okulilongesila ku Jesus. Etyi eheneye pano pohi, Jesus waundapele na Tate yae keulu omanima ehevilwa okuvalulwa. (Provérbios 8:22, 30) Oe ankho utyii okuti onkhalelo ongwa yomuenyo okuumbila Huku nokuava oumbangi wotyotyili. (João 18:37) Jesus ankho utyii nawa okuti okulandula ondyila onkhuavo elungavi nokuhetepo. Ankho utyii okuti upondola okulolwa unene nokuipawa. (Mateus 20:18, 19; Hebreus 4:15) Mokonda oe tuna okuhetekela, wetulongesa oñgeni tuna okukoleleya.
15 Konyima yetyi Jesus ambatisalwa, Satanasi wemulolele opo ayekapo ondyila ongwa yomuenyo—mahi kemuvilile. (Mateus 4:1-11) Otyo tyitulongesa okuti namphila Satanasi etulola, tupondola okukoleleya. Satanasi haunene wovola vali vana vekahi nokuhika kombatisimu na vana vambatisalwa pahe. (1 Pedro 5:8) Oundyale upondola okutundilila kombunga yetu ihanda okutuamena yahanoñgonokele nawa Onombangi mba Jeova. Anthi, tyina tulolwa tyituavela omphitilo opo tulekese ovituwa oviwa vio Vakristau, onthilo, nokuhevenumanesa, tyina tukumbulula omapulo nokuava oumbangi. (1 Pedro 3:15) Okulinga ngotyo tyipondola okuvatela vana vetutehelela.—1 Timóteo 4:16.
Kakatela Mondyila Ongwa Yomuenyo
16, 17. (a) Ovipuka patyi vitatu viesukisa pala omuenyo vivahiwa mu Deuteronômio 30:19, 20? (b) Oñgeni Jesus na João na Paulu vapopia vali onondaka Moisesi ahoneka?
16 Momanima 1. 500 etyi Jesus eheneye pano pohi, Moisesi walundile ova Isilayeli okuholovona ondyila ongwa yomuenyo. Oe wati: “Hono eulu noohi vikala onombangi mbange, konthele yokuti napaka kolupala luove omuenyo no nonkhia, ononkhano onongwa nehingano. Iya ove una okuholovona omuenyo opo ukale nomuenyo, ove nombuto yove. Mokukala nohole na Jeova Huku yove, okutehelela ondaka yae, nokukakatela mwe.” (Deuteronômio 30:19, 20) Ova Isilayeli kavatuaileko nekolelo mu Huku, mahi ovitumino vitatu viesukisa pala omuenyo, viapopilwe na Moisesi kaviapilulukile. Viapopilwe na Jesus novakuavo.
17 Tete, ‘tuna okukula nohole na Jeova Huku yetu.’ Onthue tulekesa okuti tuhole Huku tyina tulinga ovipuka vielikuata nouviuki wae. (Mateus 22:37) Vali, ‘okutehelela ondaka ya Jeova’ mokulilongesa ondaka yae nokutavela ovitumino viae. (1 João 5:3) Moluotyo tuesukisa okuenda apeho komaliongiyo Ovakristau, kuna kutangwa apeho Ombimbiliya. (Hebreus 10:23-25) Tatu, ‘tuna okukakatela mu Jeova.’ Namphila tumona ovitateka, tutualeiko okukolela mu Huku nokulandula Omona wae.—2 Coríntios 4:16-18.
18. (a) Oñgeni Omutala Womulavi upopia otyili konyima mo 1914? (b) Oñgeni tulitehelela konthele yotyitei tyotyili mononthiki mbetu?
18 Otyiwa unene okutyinda omuenyo welikuata Nombimbiliya! Menima lio 1914, onondaka ombu mbakolela mbapopiwa mo Momutala Womulavi okuti: “Onthue katuna ononkhano ongwa nokuahambukwa? Hatyiwa ku Huku yetu? Inkha pena una wavasa otyiwa konthele onkhuavo, tyikale tyae. Inkha kuna una wavasa otyiwa konthele onkhuavo, etutolele tyo. Katwii natyike otyiwa, ine otyipuka otyitutu otyiwa tyivilapo etyi tuavasa mondaka ya Huku. . . . Kutupu elaka ine olapi ipondola okuhoneka ombembwa, nehambu, nouwa enoñgonoko ewa konthele ya Huku yotyotyili lietuetela momutima wetu no muenyo wetu. Ovihonekwa konthele Younongo, Nouviuki, Nepondolo Noluembia lua Huku vihambukiswa omahando omitima vietu. Katuesukisile vali okuovola natyike. Kutupu vali otyipuka otyiwa tyipona okukala nenoñgonoko eli ewa lio Vihonekwa momitima vietu.” (Omutala Womulavi, [mo inglês] 15 ya Kayovo yo 1914, pomafo 377-378) Olupandu luetu mokonda yotyitei tyopaspilitu notyili kalupiluluka. Tyotyili, tuna omahunga omanyingi okuhambukwa mokonda “yokuendela motyitei tya Jeova.”—Isaías 2:5; Salmo 43:3; Provérbios 4:18.
19. Omokonda yatyi vana veliava pala okumbatisalwa vesukisa okutyilinga tyahasete?
19 Inkha wahanda ‘okuendela motyitei tya Jeova,’ mahi nkhele ku Mukristau welipakula nokuambatisalwa, wahasete okutyilinga. Okulinga atyiho tyesukisa pala okufuisapo ovitumino vio Mbimbiliya konthele yombatisimu—oyo onkhalelo imwe tulekesa olupandu luetu muetyi Huku na Kristu vetulingila. Avela Jeova etyi una tyakolela vali—omuenyo wove. Lekesa okuti wahanda okulinga ehando lia Huku mokulandula Omona wae. (2 Coríntios 5:14, 15) Tyotyili, oyo onkhalelo ongwa unene yomuenyo!
