1, 2. (a) Mbidakhala kuti Yahova afudziratu apanduki m’Edeni, kodi pyenepi mbipidatikhuya tani? (b) Kodi ndi api masasanyiro akufuna adaticitira Yahova?
1KHOLO Yakobe alonga: ‘Ntsiku za piaka pya umaso wanga ndi zakucepa na zakutsukwalisa.’ (Genesi 47:9, NM) M’njira ibodzibodzi, Yobe alonga kuti “ntsiku [za munthu] ndi pang’ono basi mbwenye ntsakunthabusisa.” (Yobe 14:1) Sawasawa na iwo, azinji a ife tisanenseka na nyatwa, kusowa kulungama, ngakhale pidengwa. Mbwenye, kubalwa kwathu nee kusapangiza kusowa kulungama kwa Mulungu tayu. Mwandimomwene, nee tina manyerezero na manungo aungwiro pontho nee tisakhala m’munda wa Paradizu ukhali Adamu na Eva pakutoma. Kodi mbukudacitikanji mbidakhala kuti Yahova aafudziratu mudapanduka iwo? Ndimomwene kuti nee mbapadakhala utenda, kutsukwala, peno kufa, mbwenye anthu nee mbadakhalapombo tayu. Ife nee mbitidabalwa. Mwantsisi, Mulungu apasa nzidzi Adamu na Eva kuti abale ana, ngakhale kuti ana anewa mbadatambira unthaka wakusowa ungwiro. Kubulukira mwa Kristu, Yahova aticitira masasanyiro towera tikhale na pidaluza Adamu—umaso okhonda mala m’paradizu pa dziko yapantsi.—Jwau 10:10; Aroma 5:12.
2 Mphyakukomeresa tani kudziwa kuti tina cidikhiro ca umaso wa kwenda na kwenda m’dziko ipswa ya Paradizu, mwakuti tinadzasudzuka ku utenda, kutsukwala, kubva kupha, kufa, ngakhale kwa anthu akuipa! (Misangani 2:21, 22; Apokalipse 21:4, 5) Mbwenye kubulukira m’pidalembwa m’Biblya, tapfunza kuti maseze kupulumuka kwathu ndi kwakufunika kakamwe kwa ife na kwa Yahova, ciripo cinthu cinango cakufunika kakamwe cidaphatanizwa.
Thangwi Ya Dzina Yace Ikulu
3. Kodi kukwaniriswa kwa cifuniro ca Yahova na dziko yapantsi pabodzi na anthu kusaphatanizanji?
3 Dzina ya Mulungu yaphatanizwa m’kukwaniriswa kwa cifuniro cace na dziko yapantsi pabodzi na anthu. Dzina ineyi, Yahova, isabveka “Iye Asacitisa Pinthu Kukhalapo.” Natenepa dzina yace isapangiza mbiri yace ninga Ntongi Wankulu Wakudzulu na Pantsi, Nkwanirisi wa Pifuniro na Mulungu wa undimomwene. Na thangwi ya ciimiriro ca Yahova, anthu onsene pa dziko yapantsi asafunika kupasa mwakukwana cilemedzo cinathema dzina ya Mulungu na pinaphataniza iyo pabodzi na kumbvera towera akhale na ntendere na udidi.
4. Kodi cifuniro ca Yahova na dziko yapantsi cikhaphatanizanji?
4 Pakumala cita Adamu na Eva, Yahova aapasa basa kuti aicite. Iye apangiza pakweca kuti cifuniro cace nee cikhali ca kutonga dziko yonsene yapantsi basi—mbafuthula tenepa madire a Paradizu—mbwenye kuidzadza na mbeu yawo. (Genesi 1:28) Kodi cifuniro ceneci mbicidacimwanika thangwi ya kudawa kwawo? Yahova wamphambvu zonsene mbadakhonda kwanirisa cifuniro cace na dziko yapantsi pabodzi na anthu, dzina yace mbidapokanywa kakamwe.
5. (a) Kodi anthu akutoma mbadafa lini mbadadya muti wa kudziwa cadidi na cakuipa? (b) Kodi Yahova akwanirisa tani mafalace anagumanika pa Genesi 2:17 mbalemedza m’nzidzi ubodzi ene cifuniro cace na dziko yapantsi?
5 Yahova akhadacenjeza Adamu na Eva kuti angakhonda bvera mbadya muti wa kudziwa cadidi na cakuipa, iwo mbadafa ‘m’ntsiku’ ineyi. (Genesi 2:17) Mwakubverana na mafalace, m’ntsiku idadawa iwo, Yahova aakhazikisa pantsi na aatonga kufa. M’maonero a Yahova, Adamu na Eva afa m’ntsiku ineyi. Mbwenye towera kukwanirisa cifuniro cace na dziko yapantsi, Yahova aatawirisa kubala ana mbasati kuferatu. Nakuti Yahova asaona piaka 1.000 ninga ntsiku ibodzi, mudafa Adamu na piaka 930, iye akhali nkati mwa “ntsiku” ibodzi. (2 Pedro 3:8; Genesi 5:3-5) Tenepa akwanirisika mafala a Yahova thangwi ya nzidzi ukhafuna iye kualanga, mbwenye cifuniro cace na dziko yapantsi nee cacimwaniswa na kufa kwawo tayu. Mbwenye anthu akusowa ungwiro, pabodzi na akuipa, atawiriswa kukhala maso m’nzidzi uzinji.
6, 7. (a) Mwakubverana na Eksodo 9:15, 16, thangwi yanji Yahova alekerera anyakuipa m’nzidzi uzinji? (b) Kodi mphambvu ya Yahova yapangizwa tani, na dzina Yace yadziwika tani kubulukira m’pidacitika na Farao? (c) Kodi panadzakhala phindu yanji makhaliro akuipa a lero angafudzwa?
6 Pidalonga Yahova kwa ntongi wa Ejito m’ntsiku za Mose pyapangizambo thangwi idalekerera Mulungu anyakuipa kupitiriza. Mudakhondesa Farao ana a Israele kubuluka m’Ejito, Yahova hadamupha m’nzidzi ubodzi ene tayu. Yahova abweresa Miliri Khumi m’dziko, mbapangiza mphambvu zace m’njira zakudzumatirisa. M’kucenjeza pya muliri wacinomwe, Yahova apanga Farao kuti Iye mbadanfudza mokhonda nensa pabodzi na anthu ace pa dziko yapantsi. “Mbwenye,” Yahova alonga, “ndakuleka mpaka chinchino, towera uone mphambvu zanga, na dzina yanga ikuzwe mbisimbwa pantsi ponsene.”—Eksodo 9:15, 16.
7 Mudasudzula Yahova Aisraele, dzina yace yadzakhaladi yakudziwika pantsi ponsene. (Yoswa 2:1, 9-11) Lero, kupiringana piaka 3.500 kutomera nzidzi uneule, pidacita iye nee pyaduwalika. Si dzina ya Yahova idadziwiswa basi tayu mbwenye wadziwiswambo undimomwene wa Mwanaciro dzina ineyi. Pyenepi pyapangiza mbiri ya Yahova ninga Mulungu anakoya mapikiro ace na kucita pinthu m’kuphedza anzakazi ace. (Yoswa 23:14) Pontho pyapangiza kuti thangwi ya mphambvu zace zikulu, nkhabe cinthu cinacimwanisa cifuniro cace. (Izaiya 14:24, 27) Natenepa tingakwanise kukhala na cinyindiro cakuti mokhonda dembuka iye anadzacita pinthu m’kuphedza anzakazi ace akukhulupirika m’kufudza makhaliro onsene akuipa a Sathani. Mapangiziro anewa a mphambvu ikulu na mbiri inapaswa dzina ya Yahova cipo anadzadualwa. Maphindu anadzakhala okhonda mala.—Ezekyele 38:23; Apokalipse 19:1, 2.
Kukula Kwa ‘Udziwisi Wa Mulungu!’
8. Kodi ndi pinthu pipi pinatikulumiza Paulu kudinga?
8 M’tsamba idalemba Paulu kwa Aroma iye abvunza: “Tilonge kuti Mulungu si wakulungama?” Iye atawira mwamphambvu: “Tayu.” Buluka penepo iye agomezera ntsisi za Mulungu mbalonga pidalonga Yahova pya kulekerera Farao kukhala maso m’nzidzi uzinji. Paulu apangizambo kuti anthu ndi ninga dongo m’manja mwa nyakuumba. Buluka penepo iye alonga: “Ngakhala Mulungu, pa kufuna kuonesa ukali wache na pa kudziwisa mphambvu zache apirira na kukhurudzika pyombo pinapasa ukali pidasasanywa towera kufudziwa, mbafuna kuonesa mbiri zache zikulu kuna pyombo pya ntsisi pidasasanya iye towera kupipasa mbiri . . . Pyombo ipi ndife adachemerwa na iye, si ayuda basi tayu, achemerwambo ajentiyu.”—Aroma 9:14-24.

9 Kutomera mudaoneka upanduki m’Edeni, onsene anakhonda Yahova na miyambo yace ndi “pyombo pinapasa ukali pidasasanywa towera kufudziwa.” M’nzidzi onsene kutomera penepo, Yahova asapangiza ntsisi. Anyakuipa asasingirira njira zace, asatcinga anzakazi ace, afika pakupha Mwanace. M’kupangiza kupirira kukulu, Yahova asasiya nzidzi wakukwana kuti pyakucitwa pyonsene pione mwakukwana pyakubwereswa pyangobzi pya kupandukira Mulungu na kuyesera kwa anthu kutongeka okhene. M’nzidzi ubodzi ene, kufa kwa Yezu kwafungula njira towera anthu akubvera apulumuswe na ‘kufudza mabasa a mademonyo.’—1 Jwau 3:8; Ahebere 2:14, 15.
10. Thangwi yanji Yahova alekerera anthu akuipa m’piaka 1.900 pidapita?
10 M’piaka pyakupiringana 1.900 mudamala Yezu kulamuswa muli akufa, Yahova apitiriza kulekerera “pyombo pinapasa ukali,” mbadembuka kupifudza. Thangwi yanji? Thangwi yakutoma ndi yakuti iye akukhunganya ale anafuna khala pabodzi na Yezu Kristu m’Umambo wace wakudzulu. Cilengesero ca anewa ndi 144.000, na iwo ndi “pyombo pya ntsisi” pidalongwa na mpostolo Paulu. Pakutoma, acemerwa anthu nkati mwa Ayuda towera kucita khundu ya nsoka unoyu wakudzulu. Patsogolo pace, Mulungu acemera anthu a madzinza a Ajentiyu. Yahova hadakakamiza nee mbodzi wa anthu anewa kuti antumikire. Mbwenye pakati pa anthu akupereka takhuta ku masasanyiro ace akufuna, anango apaswa mwai wakutonga pabodzi na Mwanace m’Umambo wakudzulu. Tingakwanise kulonga kuti kukhunganywa kwa nsoka unoyu wakudzulu kwamala.—Luka 22:29; Apokalipse 14:1-4.
11. (a) Kodi ndi nsoka upi unaphindula cincino na ntsisi za Yahova? (b) Kodi anyakufa anadzaphindula tani?

Yahova apikira kuti nsoka unoyu wa pa dziko yapantsi unadzapulumuka pa kumala kwa makhaliro ano na kukhala na cidikhiro ca umaso okhonda mala m’paradizu pa dziko yapantsi. (Apokalipse 7:9, 10; Masalmo 37:29; Jwau 10:16) M’nzidzi wakuthema wa Mulungu, pikwi na pikwi pya anthu akufa anadzalamuswa muli akufa mbapaswa mwai wa kukhala pa dziko yapantsi pantsi pa Umambo wakudzulu. Mafala a Mulungu asalongeratu pa Machitiro 24:15: “Kunadzaoneka kulamuka muli akufa kwa anthu adidi na kwa akuipambo.”—Jwau 5:28, 29.
12. (a) Kodi tisapfunzanji pya Yahova kulekerera kwace anyakuipa? (b) Kodi musaona tani njira idatsalakanira Yahova pinthu pyenepi?

Nkhabe, thangwi m’kudembuka kufudza anyakuipa peno “pyombo pinapasa ukali,” Mulungu asapangiza ntsisi kwa anango, mwakubverana na cifuniro cace. Pyenepi pisapangiza kuti iye ndi wantsisi na wakufuna. Pontho, tisapfunza pizinji pya umunthu wa Yahova m’kukhala na nzidzi towera kuona kukwanirisika kwa cifuniro cace. Tisadzumatirwa na kupangizwa kwa makhaliro akusiyanasiyana a umunthu wace—kulungama kwace, udidi wace, ntsisi yace na udziwisi wace wakusiyanasiyana. Njira ya udziwisi idatsalakanira Yahova nseru wa utongi ukulu wa kudzulu na pantsi—kuthema kwace kwa kutonga—inadzakhala umboni wa kwenda na kwenda wakuti njira zace za kutonga ndi zadidi kakamwe. Pabodzi na mpostolo Paulu, tingakwanise kulonga: “Ndi pikulu kakamwe upfumi, nzeru na kudziwisa kwa Mulungu! Kutonga kwache tinachimwana kukubvesa, njira zache si zakudziwika tayu.”—Aroma 11:33.

(Yobe 1:9-11; 2:4, 5) Tisakomeresa ntima wa Yahova tingakhulupirika kwa iye pakuthimbana na nyatwa, mbitipangiza kuti kupambizira kwa Sathani ndi uthambi.

Na kuphatana na ife m’ulambiri, iwo angakwanise kutambira nkhombo za umaso okhonda mala. (Mateo 25:34-36, 40, 46) Yahova na Mwanace asafuna kuti anthu akhale na mwai unoyu.
