Oityi Moave Opo Ukamone Omuenyo Wahapu?
“Oityi omunthu maave opo ahupise omuenyo wae?”—MATEUS 16:26.
1. Omokonda yatyi Jesus aanyenene okuviyulwa na Petulu?
APOSTOLU Petulu ankho ketavela etyi eiva. Tatekulu yae Jesus Kristu, wapopila “neyandyuluko” okuti kuakamba katutu Oe mamono ononkhumbi iya ankhi! Petulu asoko okuti olusoke luae luaviuka, iya aviyula Jesus ati: “Tatekulu lilingila okankhenda, otyo kamatyipiti nove.” Jesus atyindamena Petulu atale kovalongwa ovakuavo. Tyafuile ankho navo vena olusoke ngolo luapenga. Iya apopila Petulu okuti: “Pita konyima yange Satanasi! Ove umanya liokumphundukisa, mokonda omalusoke ove ha Huku ko, mahi ovanthu.”—Marcos 8:32, 33; Mateus 16:21-23.
2. Oñgeni Jesus alekesa etyi omulongwa wo tyotyili ena okulinga?
2 Onondaka Jesus alandulisako, mbavatelele Petulu okunoñgonoka oityi Jesus akumbululila no nondaka mbatona ngatyina. Jesus “Waihanene ovanthu aveho ponthele yae kumue novalongwa vae,” ati: “Inkha omunthu umue uhanda okulandula muame, ayekepo okulipanda oe muene, apolepo omuti wae wemone atualako okundandula. Mokonda kese uhanda okuyovola ohande yae meivombesa, mahi una wapesela ohande yae mokonda yange no yonondaka onongwa, mekeiyovola.” (Marcos 8:34, 35) “Ohande” Jesus apopia apa, ihangununa “omuenyo.” Jesus ankho utyii nawa okuti haeko vala maave otyilikutila tyomuenyo wae. Tupu, ankho ukevelela okuti ovalanduli vae mavakala tyafuapo pala okuava omienyo viavo movilinga via Huku. Inkha valinga ngotyo, mavakatambula ondyambi onene.—Tanga Mateus 16:27.
3. (a) Omapulo patyi Jesus alingile ovateheleli vae? (b) Epulo lia vali lia Jesus liahinangelesile tyi ovateheleli vae?
3 Tupu Jesus walinga omapulo evali akolela unene. Wati: “Tyilityili, tyina esilivilo patyi komunthu tyina anganyala ouye auho, mahi apesela ohande yae?” Iya “Oityi tyilityili omunthu apondola okuava opo amone ohande yae?” (Marcos 8:36, 37) Ekumbululo liepulo liotete limoneka nawa komaiho ovanthu. Tyitupu esilivilo nalimue omunthu okunganyala ouye auho, mahi apesela ohande yae. Omalumono ena vala esilivilo tyina omunthu ena omuenyo eeundapesa. Epulo lia vali lia Jesus liati: “Oityi tyilityili omunthu apondola okuava opo amone ohande yae?” Tyafuile liahinangelesile ovateheleli vae onondaka mba Satanasi kononthiki mba Job, etyi ati: “Ovipuka aviho omunthu ena, meviave mokonda yomuenyo.” (Jó 2:4) Ku vana vahafende Jeova, onondaka mba Satanasi mbupopia otyili. Ovanthu ovanyingi vapondola okulinga kese tyimue, nokuliatela kovitumino, opo vakale nomuenyo. Mahi, Ovakristau vatala ovipuka monkhalelo yelikalela.
4. Omapulo a Jesus akolela unene ko Vakristau mokonda yatyi?
4 Onthue tutyii okuti Jesus keile pano pohi opo etuavele omalumono, nekongoko, nomuenyo omule mouye uno. Weile opo aikule ondyila yokukamona omuenyo wahapu mouye omupe. Iya ekevelelo liomuenyo oo, olio liakolela unene kuonthue. (João 3:16) Omukristau unoñgonoka okuti epulo liotete lia Jesus liati, “Tyina esilivilo patyi tyina omunthu anganyala ouye auho, mahi anyono ekevelelo liae liomuenyo wahapu?” Tyitupu esilivilo nalimue. (1 João 2:15-17) Pala okutuvatela okukumbulula epulo lia Jesus lia vali, tupondola okulipula okuti, ‘Ndyihanda okuava tyilifuepi hono, opo ndyikamone omuenyo wahapu mouye omupe?’ Ekumbululo matuave, nokulekesa nonkhalelo yomuenyo wetu, malilekesa okuti ekevelelo olio enene unene momitima vietu.—Eleka na João 12:25.
5. Oñgeni tupondola okutambula otyali tyomuenyo wahapu?
5 Jesus ankho kekahi nokuti omuenyo wahapu ongatyina ondyambi. Mokonda alo umue omuenyo ou omusupi tuna mouye uno, tueupewa otyali. Natyimue tupondola okulinga opo tutokale okuupewa. Matupewa vala otyali tyomuenyo wahapu, inkha “tukala nekolelo mu Kristu Jesus” no mu Jeova, “makayamba vana vemuumbila tyotyili.” (Gálatas 2:16; Hebreus 11:6) Anthi, ekolelo lina okulekeswa novilinga, mokonda “ekolelo lihena ovilinga liankhia.” (Tiago 2:26) Moluotyo, tyina tusokolola vali nawa epulo lia Jesus, tyesukisa okutala vali unene okuti etyi tuhanda okuava tyilifuepi mouye uno. Nokusoka kuetyi tuhanda okulinga movilinga via Jeova, opo tulekese okuti ekolelo lietu tyili lina omuenyo.
“Kristu Kalingile Omahando Ae”
6. Oityi ankho tyakolela tete momuenyo wa Jesus?
6 Jesus ankho katale kovipuka oviwa ouye kononthiki mbae ankho waava. Anthi, ankho utala kovipuka viakolela vali, iya aanye okuyondyua nomalumono. Ankho welipakula ku Huku nokutavela kwe. Ankho kaovola okulihambukiswa oe muene. Wati: “Ame apeho ndyilinga ovipuka vihambukiswa [Huku].” (João 8:29) Jesus opo ahambukiswe Huku, ankho una okuundapa alo pi?
7, 8. (a) Jesus welipakulile okulinga otyilikutila patyi? (b) Epulo patyi tuasukisa okulilinga?
7 Onthiki imue Jesus wapopilile ovalongwa vae ati: “Omona womunthu keile opo aumbilwe, anthi weya okuumbila, nokuava omuenyo wae ngofeto pala okuyovola ovanthu ovanyingi.” (Mateus 20:28) Tete, etyi Jesus ahimbika okupopila ovalanduli vae okuti ankho kuakamba katutu opo “aave omuenyo wae,” Petulu wemuviyulile okuti lilingila okankhenda. Mahi, Jesus atualako tyapama. Ankho uhanda okuava ohande yae, omuenyo wae uhena nkhali, opo ayovole ovanthu. Moluotyo, Jesus ankho una ekevelelo liatona. Watutilisua “alondekwa kokulio kwa Huku.” (Atos 2:32, 33) Ngotyo, wetuavela ongeleka ongwa.
8 Apostolu Paulu waavelele onondonga Ovakristau mo Roma opo ‘vehelihambukiswe’ ovo muene. Tupu evehinangelesa okuti “alo umue Kristu kelihambukisilwe oe muene.” (Romanos 15:1-3) Ngotyo, alo pi tuhanda okulipakula okuhetekela Kristu?
Jeova Uhanda Tumuavele Otyiwa Vali Tuna
9. Oityi Ovakristau valinga hono tyina velipakula ku Huku?
9 Mo Isilayeli kohale, Ovitumino via Moisesi ankho vipopia okuti ovapika ova Hebreu, ankho vena okuyekwa mokuenda kuenima lia panduvali ine o putyina enima litiwa o Jubileu liamehikipo. Mahi, ovapika ovo ankho vapondola okuholovona. Inkha omupika umue uhole omuhona wae, ankho upondola okuholovona okutualako okukala omupika wae, omanima ahupako omuenyo wae. (Tanga Deuteronômio 15:12, 16, 17.) Nonthue otyo tuaholovona, puetyi tuelipakula ku Huku. Onthue tuetavela okulinga etyi Huku ahanda, tyihalandula vali omayembelo etu muene. Tyina tulinga ngotyo, tulekesa okuti tuna ohole onene na Jeova, nokuhanda okumuumbila apeho.
10. Omonkhalelo patyi onthue tuvanthu va Huku? Otyo tyikalesa ñgeni omalusoke etu nevi tulinga?
10 Inkha ove hono ukahi nokulilongesa Ombimbiliya no Nombangi mba Jeova, nokuivisa onondaka onongwa, nokuenda apeho komaliongiyo Ovakristau, onthue tukupanda unene. Tukevelela okuti apa katutu mokala nehando liokulinga elipakulo liove ku Jeova, nokulipula ngetyi omu Etiopia una apulile Filipe okuti: “Oityi tyinthyilika okumbatisalwa?” (Atos 8:35, 36) Oupanga wove na Huku maukala ngo wo Vakristau vana Paulu ahonekelele okuti: “Onwe kamutei vali kuonwe muene. Mokonda onwe mualandwa nondando.” (1 Coríntios 6:19, 20) Tyilinge ekevelelo lietu o keulu ine o lia pano pohi, inkha tuelipakula ku Jeova, oe Omuhona wetu. Tyakolela unene, okunyima momutima wetu omahando elulu no “kuyekapo okukala ovapika vovanthu”! (1 Coríntios 7:23) Elao enene okukala omuumbili omukuatyili wa Jeova, opo ekuundapesa monkhalelo imuhambukiswa!
11. Ovilikutila patyi Ovakristau valondolwa okuava? Otyo tyihangununa tyi, ngetyi tyilekesa ovilikutila vialingailwe Movitumino via Moisesi?
11 Paulu walondolele ovakuatate ati: “Pakulei omalutu enyi ngatyina otyilikutila tyina omuenyo, tyasukuka nokuetavelwa na Huku, nokulinga ovilinga viae nonondunge mbenyi ambuho.” (Romanos 12:1) Onondaka ombo, tyafuile mbahinangelesile Ovakristau ova Judeu ovilikutila vina valingaile mefendelo liavo, etyi vehenekale ovalanduli va Jesus. Ankho vetyii okuti Movitumino via Moisesi, ko altale ya Jeova ankho kuawa ovinyama viakongoka nawa. Ankho kakutavelwa natyike tyanama. (Malaquias 1:8, 13) Tupu, otyo tyelifwa na tyina tupakula omalutu etu ngatyina ‘otyilikutila tyina omuenyo.’ Tuavela Jeova otyiwa vali tuna, katumuavela etyi tyahupapo, tyina tuafuisapo omahando etu aeho. Etyi tuelipakula ku Huku onthue muene, tyotyili tuemuavela “onohande,” mbetu omienyo vietu, kumue nononkhono mbetu, nomalumono etu, nomaunongo etu. (Colossenses 3:23) Oñgeni otyo matutyilingi momuenyo wetu?
Undapesa Omuvo Wove Nounongo
12, 13. Onkhalelo patyi imue tupondola okuavela Jeova otyiwa vali tuna?
12 Onkhalelo imue yokuavela Jeova otyiwa vali tuna, okuundapesa omuvo wetu nounongo. (Tanga Efésios 5:15, 16.) Otyo tyihanda okulikondola omutima. Omahongiliyo ouye kumue nonkhali tuapiñgana, vituhindila okuundapesa omuvo pala vala ehambu lietu, ine pala ouwa wetu vala. Tyotyili, “ovipuka aviho vina omuvo,” okukutikinyamo okupululukwapo nehambu, no wokuundapa opo tutyivile okufuisapo otyilinga tyetu Tyoukristau. (Eclesiastes 3:1) Anthi, Omukristau welipakula wesukisa okupola pokati nokuundapesa nounongo omuvo wae.
13 Etyi Paulu atalelapo o Atena, wamona okuti “ova Atena aveho no nongendi, tyina vahaundapa vapesela omuvo wavo okuhipulula vala ovipuka ine okutehelela otyipuka otyipe.” (Atos 17:21) Hono, ovanyingi vapesela ngotyo omuvo wavo. Ovitalukiso vio hono, okutala o televisau, nokuyumba omawela, nokumana omuwa no Internete. Ovitalukiso ovinyingi-nyingi vipondola okutupeselela omuvo wetu. Inkha tupesela omuvo wetu, matutepulula okulitekula mopamphepo. Pamue tupondola alo umue okutavela okuti, tukahi nokuundapa unene pala okufuisapo “ovipuka viakolela vali,” konthele yokuumbila Jeova.—Filipenses 1:9, 10.

Okuti ndyiava omakumbululo momaliongiyo pala okupameka vakuetu?’ (Salmo 122:1; Hebreus 2:12) Ondaka ya Huku ipopia okuti Paulu no vomundyila yae vakalele “omuvo omunyingi nokupopia nomutima wakola konthele ya Jeova.” (Atos 14:3) Okuti ove upondola okuonganeka nawa onkhalelo yove opo wave vali “omuvo omunyingi,” movilinga viokuivisa, pamue okuundapa ngomukokoli-ndyila?—Tanga Hebreus 13:15.
15. Oñgeni ovakulu vewaneno vaundapesa nounongo omuvo wavo?
15 Etyi apostolu Paulu novalume ovakuavo vekolelo vatalelapo Ovakristau mewaneno lio Antiokia, “vakalele omuvo omunyingi no valongwa,” opo vevepameke. (Atos 14:28) Hono, tupu ovakulu vewaneno vokuna ohole, vaundapesa omuvo wavo omunyingi pala okupameka vakuavo. Okuyawisa kovilinga viavo viokuivisa, ovakulu vewaneno vaundapa unene pala okunthita otyunda. Vaovala onongi mbavomba, vakuatesako mbuna mbavela, nokulinga ovilinga ovikuavo ovinyingi mewaneno. Inkha ove umukuatate wambatisalua, okuti onkhalelo yove itavela okuovola okupewa ovilinga ngovio mewaneno?
16. Omononkhalelo patyi mbumue tupondola “okulinga ovipuka oviwa pala . . . vana tufenda navo”?
16 Ovanyingi vehole okuvasa ehambu mokukuatesako vana vahanyauninwa ovipuka viavo novanthu ine o noviponga. Tala omphange umue una omanima 65, uundapa mo Mbetele. Walinga omaungendi omanyingi kovilongo vio kokule, okulipakula okukavatela. Omokonda yatyi aundapesila omuvo wae movilinga ngovio? Oe wati: “Namphila ame nehe munonongo wakolela, mahi ndyina elao liokulinga etyi ndyivila. Tyemupameka unene okutala ekolelo enene liovakuatate no nomphange vanyonenwa omalumono avo.” Tupu, omakwi nomakwi ovakuatate ouye auho, vavatela okutunga Onondyuo mbo Maliongiyo no mbo Vionge Ovinene. Mokuundapa movilinga ngovio, tyihena elungavi onthue tukahi “nokulinga ovipuka oviwa pala . . . vana tufenda navo.”—Gálatas 6:10.

Liati: “Oityi tyilityili omunthu apondola okuava opo amone ohande yae?” Onthue tyotyili matulingi ovilikutila Jeova etuita, opo tukamone “omuenyo wo tyotyili.” (1 Timóteo 6:19) Tyotyili, tyakolela unene okutavela elondolo lia Jesus ‘liokutualako okulandula mwe,’ no ‘liokuovola tete ouhamba wa Huku.’—Mateus 6:31-33; 24:13.

Okulinga ngotyo, matulekesa okuti tuna onthumbi yokuti Jeova metuamena mononkhumbi ononene, ine meketupindulapo mouye omupe. (Hebreus 6:10) Ngotyo, matukalekesa okuti tuapanda unene otyali tyomuenyo.
