Iya onwe mamukala ouhamba wovanakua nelongo likola pala ame.” (Êxodo 19:5, 6) Oñgeni ova Isilayeli ankho vanoñgonoka onondaka ombo?

6. Omphango Yovitumino yakuatesako okufuisapo eulo patyi?
6 Ova Isilayeli ankho vanoñgonoka ondaka “omphango,” mokonda Jeova kohale walingile onomphango na Noe na Abraiau. (Gênesis 6:18; 9:8-17; 15:18; 17:1-9) Konthele yomphango yae na Abraiau, Jeova walaele okuti: “Omalongo aeho kombanda yoohi, maekeliavela ononkhano onongwa menyina liombuto yove.” (Gênesis 22:18) Jeova walingile Omphango Yovitumino opo afuisepo eulo olio. Mokonda yomphango oyo, ova Isilayeli ankho vapondola okukala ‘ovanthu vae vakolela vali pokati komalongo omakuavo aeho.’ Otyo tyalingilwa tyi? Opo ‘vakale ovanakwa vouhamba va Jeova.’
7. Onondaka “ouhamba wovanakua” mbulekesa tyi?
7 Ova Isilayeli ankho vei nawa ono hamba novanakwa. Mahi, o Melkisedeke vala wapelue na Jeova ovilinga ovio vivali momuvo wike vala.

8. Omunakwa uholovonwa na Huku ulinga tyi?

Hebreus 5:1 ihangununa okuti: “Kese omunene-nakwa uholovonwa pokati kovanthu unakwa pala okuamena ovanthu konthele yovipuka via Huku, opo aave oviawa viotyali novilikutila viononkhali.” Omunakwa, uholovonwa na Jeova opo aitileko ovanthu ku Huku, okuava ovilikutila opo Huku aevele ononkhali mbavo, nokuvelongesa ovitumino via Huku. (Levítico 10:8-11; Malaquias 2:7) Ngotyo, omunakwa uholovonwa na Huku ukuatesako ovanthu opo vakale vali noupanga na Huku.
9. (a) Oityi ova Isilayeli ankho vesukisa okulinga opo vakale “ovanakwa vouhamba”? (b) Oityi Jeova aholovonene ovanakwa pokati ko Isilayeli? (c) Omokonda yatyi ova Isilayeli vekahi momphango Yovitumino ankho kavapondola okukala “ouhamba wovanakua”?

Huku wati: “Inkha mutavela ondaka yange, nokuendela nawa-nawa momphango yange.” Okuti ova Isilayeli ‘vetavela ondaka ya Jeova’? Enga, mahi valingile oviponyo. (Romanos 3:19, 20) Moluotyo, Jeova waholovonene vamwe pokati ko Isilayeli opo vakale ovanakwa. Ovanakwa ovo ankho ha nohamba, mahi ankho valinga ovilikutila viovinyama pala ononkhali mbovanthu. (Levítico 4:1–6:7) Ononkhali ombo tupu ankho mbakutikinya ononkhali mbovanakwa. (Hebreus 5:1-3; 8:3) Jeova ankho utavela ovilikutila ovio, mahi ankho kavinyimi ononkhali ambuho mbo va Isilayeli. Ovanakwa vekahi momphango Yovitumino, ankho kavetyivili okukuatesako ova Isilayeli vomutima waviuka okukala noupanga na Huku monkhalelo yaoya. Otyo apostolu Paulu apopila okuti: “Mokonda ohonde yo nongombe no yovikombo kaipondola okupola ononkhali.” (Hebreus 10:1-4) Mokonda ova Isilayeli kavetavelele Ovitumino, vahinganwa. (Gálatas 3:10) Ngotyo, ankho kavapondola vali okuundapela ovanthu vakuavo ngo vanakwa vouhamba.
10. Omphango Yovitumino ankho yalingilwa tyi?
10 Otyo katyilekesa okuti ova Isilayeli nalumwe ankho mavakala “ovanakwa vouhamba” ngetyi Jeova alaele. Inkha vaovolele okutavela nomutima auho, ñgeno vakala nelao olio, mahi kavapewa elao olio putyina nkhele vekahi mombuelo Yovitumino. Omokonda yatyi? (Tanga Gálatas 3:19-25.) Opo tutyivile okukumbulula, tuesukisa okunoñgonoka okuti Ovitumino viomphango ankho viamena ova Isilayeli kefendelo liomatutu. Ankho vikuatesako ova Isilayeli okuimbuka oviponyo viavo, nokuti vesukisa otyilikutila otyinene vali tyipona tyina ankho tyilingwa nomunene-nakwa.

12. Otyilikutila tya Jesus tyaeta tyi?
12 Ngo Munene-nakwa, otyilikutila patyi Jesus aava ankho tyihita nawa ononkhali mbovataveli?

Okupolelela pombatisimu yae menima 29 P.K., Omunene-nakwa Jesus, walolua nokulongeswa alo pononkhia mbae. (Hebreus 4:15; 5:7-10) Etyi atutila, wapita keulu iya apakula esilivilo liotyilikutila tyae ku Jeova. (Hebreus 9:24) Tunde opo, Jesus upondola okuita ku Jeova aamene vana vena ekolelo motyilikutila tyae, nokuvekuatesako okuumbila Huku opo vakapewe omuenyo wahapu. (Hebreus 7:25) Otyilikutila tyae tupu tyaavela esilivilo omphango omphe.—Hebreus 8:6; 9:15.
13. Vana vakongwa opo vakale momphango omphe vena ekevelelo patyi?

Jeova walaele okuti: “Mandyievela otyiponyo tyavo, himahinangela vali onkhali yavo.” (Jeremias 31:34) Mokonda pahe Jeova waevela ononkhali mbavo, ovo vapondola okukala “ovanakwa vouhamba.” Petulu wapopila Ovakristau ovalembulwa okuti: “Onwe ‘mumbunga yaholovonwa, no vanakwa vouhamba, elongo liasukuka, ovanthu vae vakolela, opo muivise enkhimano’ lia una wemuihana menthiki opo muiye motyitei tyae otyiwa unene.” (1 Pedro 2:9) Apa Petulu wahoneka onondaka Jeova apopilile ova Isilayeli etyi aava Ovitumino, embuundapesa ko Vakristau momphango omphe.—Êxodo 19:5, 6.
OVANAKWA VOUHAMBA VAETELA OUWA OVANTHU AVEHO

Iya wevelinga ouhamba novanakwa pala Huku yetu, opo vakatumine ngo nohamba kombanda yoohi.” (Revelação 5:8-10) Memonekelo ekuavo, João wapopia konthele yono hamba ombo okuti: “Mavakakala ovanakwa va Huku no va Kristu, avakatumina kumwe nae omanima ovityita ekwi.” (Revelação 20:6) Kumwe na Kristu, mavakakala ovanakwa vouhamba avakaetela ouwa ovanthu aveho.

Moluotyo, neiva ondaka imwe yakaluluka potyipundi tyoutumini, yati: ‘Tala! Ekaka lia Huku likahi pokati kovanthu, iya oe makakala navo, ovo mavakakala ovanthu vae. Iya Huku muene makakala navo. Huku makasekuna ononkhuka momaiho avo, ononkhia, nokulila, no nongembia kamavikakalako vali. Mokonda ovipuka ovio aviho mavikalamba.’” Ombo ononkhano onongwa ngatyi!

Iya kehimba eli nahimba lina liondongi, kuna omiti viomuenyo, viima ovikando ekwi na vivali, kese hanyi viima.
