3. Ndi cinthu cipi cacilendo cidacitikira m’phale Samweli pa ntsiku ibodzi namasiku, mphapo pyenepi pisabweresa mbvundzo upi? (Onani cithundzithundzi cakutoma.)

Mbwenye panango Yahova acita tenepo thangwi iye akhatsalakana mabvero a Samweli.
4, 5. (a) Ninji pidacita Samweli pidapangwa iye mphangwa na Yahova toera kapanga Eli? (b) Pidacitikira Samweli pisatipfundzisanji thangwi ya Yahova?
4 Lerini 1 Samwele 3:11-18. Mwambo wa Yahova ukhapanga ana toera kulemedza akulu, makamaka ale akhali na cidzo. (Eksodo 22:28; Levitiko 19:32) Natenepa m’phale Samweli panango akhalamuka namacibese mbaenda kuna Eli mbalonga mwacipapo mphangwa zakutonga za Mulungu. Bhibhlya isalonga kuti Samweli ‘akhagopa kupanga Eli masomphenya.’ Mbwenye Mulungu adziwisa Eli kuti Ndiye akhacemera Samweli. Natenepa Eli apanga Samweli toera akhonde kubisa cinthu mwa pire pidapangwa iye na Mulungu. Samweli abvera Eli ‘mbampanga pinthu pyonsene.’

5 Mphangwa zenezi nee zikhali zakukhonda dikhira, thangwi pakutoma ‘ntumiki wa Mulungu’ akhadalonga kuna Eli mphangwa zibodzi zene.—1 Samwele 2:27-36. Pidacitikira Samweli, pisatipfundzisa kuti Yahova ndi wacitsalakano na waudziwisi.

7 Pikhali Mose na pyaka 80 pyakubalwa, Yahova ampasa basa yakunentsa: toera kubulusa mbumba ya Izraeli mu ubitcu ku Ejito. (Eksodo 3:10) Panango basa ineyi ikhali yakunentsa kakamwe kuna Mose, thangwi iye akhali nkumbizi wa mabira m’pyaka 40. Mose alonga: ‘Ndine ani ine, toera ndiende kalonga na Farau, mbandibulusa Aizraeli mu Ejito?’ Yahova apasa Mose cinyindiro: ‘Ine ndinadzakhala na iwe.’ (Eksodo 3:11, 12) Yahova ampangambo kuti akulu a Izraeli ‘mbadambvesera.’ Mbwenye Mose abvundza: ‘Ndiye tani angakhonda kundikhulupira na kundibvera?’ (Eksodo 3:18; 4:1) Pisaoneka ninga Mose akhalonga kuti Yahova akhadaphonyeka! Mbwenye Yahova akhali wakupirira na Mose. Kusiyapo pyenepi, Yahova ampasa mphambvu zakucita pirengo. Mwandimomwene, Mose ndi munthu wakutoma analongwa m’Bhibhlya kuti akhali na mphambvu zenezi.—Eksodo 4:2-9, 21.
8 Mwakukhonda tsalakana pyenepi pyonsene, Mose akhali na thangwi inango. Iye alonga kuti nee asakwanisa kulonga mwadidi. Natenepa Mulungu ampanga: ‘Ine ndinadzakhala na iwe ungalonga mbandikupfundzisa pinafuna kulonga iwe.’ Kodi Mose adzatawira? Nkhabe, iye aphemba Mulungu toera atume munthu unango! Penepo pene Yahova aipirwa. Mbwenye iye akhapitiriza kutsalakana mabvero a Mose, natenepa atuma Aroni toera aende kalonge pa mbuto ya Mose.—Eksodo 4:10-16.

M’mbuto mwace, Yahova akhali wakupirira na wakukoma ntima, pontho apasa cinyindiro ntumiki wace wakucepeseka kuti mbadakhala na iye. Kodi pyenepi pyaphedza Mose? Inde! Mose adzakhala ntsogoleri wankulu wa mbumba ya Mulungu. Iye awangisira toera kukhala wakupfulika na wacitsalakano kuna anango ninga pidacita Yahova kuna iye.—Numero 12:3.

Na thangwi ineyi, ndi pyakufunika kuti mutowezere Yahova mukukhala wacitsalakano, wakukoma ntima na wakupirira kuna nkazanu, ananu na kuna abale na alongo.

(Mateo 11:28, 29) Munakhalambo citsandzo cadidi kwa iwo.—Ahebere 13:7.

Natenepa pyenepi pyaphedza Aizraeli kupibva kuti ali akutsidzikizika mu ndzidzi ukhabuluka iwo n’dziko idakhala iwo pyaka pizinji.—Masalmo 78:52, 53.
12 Yahova aphedza tani Aizraeli toera kupibva kuti ndi akutsidzikizika? Iye agumanya mbumba ya Izraeli ninga ‘nsoka wa anyankhondo’ pidabuluka iwo mu Ejito. (Eksodo 13:18) Nakuti akhadagumanywa munjira ineyi, iwo akwanisa kuona kuti ndi Mulungu akhaatsogolera. Namasikati Yahova aphatisira khole, namasiku aphatisira ceza ca moto toera kuakumbusa kuti iye akhali na iwo toera kuatsogolera na kuatsidzikiza.

Khole yakuti ikhali kutsogolo kwanu yacinja mbibwera nduli mwanu, mbigawa imwe na Aejito. Aejito onsene akhala ncidima, mbwenye imwe mwacirengo muli nceza! Buluka penepo mukuona Mose mbathasika djanjace pa bara, mbioneka mphepo ikulu ya kumabulukiro a dzuwa mbifungula njira ikulu pakati pa bara.

(1 Akorinto 14:33) Ninga nkumbizi wakuti asafuna na asatsalakana mabira ace, Yahova asatsalakana atumiki ace munjira yadidi. Iye asaatsidzikiza kuna anyamalwa awo. Pyenepi pisatipasa cinyindiro, pontho pisatiwangisa kakamwe mu ndzidzi unafendedzera ife kumala kwa dziko ino.—Misangani 1:33.

Pontho iye anadzapitiriza kucita pyenepi pa nyatwa ikulu yakuti iri dhuzi kakamwe.
