Okuti Ove Ankho Utyii?
Omokonda yatyi omulela una unika nawa wa Maliya ankho ulandela onombongo ononyingi?
Puetyi ankho kuakamba ononthiki mbehehi pala ononkhia mba Jesus, Maliya omphange ya Lasalu, “weya nepindi liomulela unika nawa wonardu yotyotyili, ulanda onombongo ononyingi,” euuyulila ku Jesus. (Marcos 14:3-5; Mateus 26:6, 7; João 12:3-5) Ehipululo lia Marku no lia João ati omulela oo, ankho watokala onombongo 300 mbovivela, onombongo ankho mbufetwa omuundapi enima aliho.
Omulela oo ankho ulanda onombongo ononyingi ankho utunda pi? Omulela wonardu upopiwa Mombimbiliya ankho ulingwa notyifo tyimue otyitutu tyinika nawa tyitiwa (Nardostachys jatamansi) tyivasiwa Monomphunda mbo Himalaya. Mahi, ankho omulela oo wokualia okalu, pamue veuhonyeka nomilela omikuavo, ine veukumanesa nomilela vielifwa ankho valinga. Anthi, Marku na João vapopia okuti omulela oo ankho o “wonardu yotyotyili.” Mokonda omulela oo ankho ulanda onombongo ononyingi, tyafuile ankho utunda ko India.
Omokonda yatyi ehipululo lia Marku lipopila okuti Maliya “wateya epindi liomulela oo”? Omokonda omapindi omulela oo, ankho atungwa noumunyino waheka iya kombanda yotyipato, akuwingilua otyikuavo tyahoteluako opo omuniko uhatundemo. Alan Millard momukanda wae Discoveries From the Time of Jesus wati: “Katyipuiya okunoñgonoka omokonda yatyi omukai oo, ankho wahangayala ahapatululile vali otyipuka tyawingilua kotyipato tyepindi. [Wateyela vala omunyino wepindi] atyukumuna, iya opulufumu aiho aitundumo.” Otyo tyilekesa nawa omokonda yatyi “ondyuo aiho ankho yeyulila omuniko womulela oo.” (João 12:3) Ankho otyo otyali tyimue otyinene, tupu ankho tyaviuka. Omokonda yatyi? Mokonda notyali otyo omukai oo walekesile olupandu olunene mokonda Jesus ankho watutilisa omphange yae Lasalu.—João 11:32-45.
Okuti kuali epundaumbo like litiwa Jerikoo ine ankho evali?
Mateusi na Marku na Luka aveho vapopia omahuviso alingililwe popepi no Jerikoo. (Mateus 20:29-34; Marcos 10:46-52; Lucas 18:35-43) Mateusi na Marku vati Jesus walingile ehuviso olio, puetyi ankho “atunda” ko Jerikoo. Anthi, Luka wati otyo tyamoneka puetyi Jesus ankho “ekahi popepi no Jerikoo.
Okuti pononthiki mba Jesus kuali epundaumbo like litiwa o Jerikoo ine ankho evali? “Omukanda umue wakumbulula okuti: Kononthiki Jesus ankho ekahi pano pohi, o Jerikoo yapindulilwepo. Ankho yatungilwa (1.6 kilometu) kokumbili kuo Jerikoo onkhulu. Herode Omunene watungile ombala yae yo poutalala mo Jerikoo oyo ankho yokuapinduluapo.” Etyi, otyo tyapopia omukanda umue wokuati: “O Jerikoo pononthiki mba Jesus ankho omapundaumbo evali. O Jerikoo onkhulu yo va Judeu ankho ikala 1.6 kilometu no Jerikoo yo va Roma.
Ngotyo, tyafuile Jesus walingile ehuviso puetyi ankho atunda mepundaumbo lio va Judeu, popepi nepundaumbo lio va Roma. Ine ankho utunda ko Jerikoo yo va Roma okuenda ko Jerikoo yo va Judeu. Okunoñgonoka nawa onkhalelo ankho ikahiko pomuvo wovahoneki, tyipondola okuyandyulula nawa ovipuka vimoneka ngatyina viepuiya.
