Jehovha Haanganonoki
“Kunyange [zvakaratidzwa izvi] zvikanonoka, uzvimirire, nokuti zvichauya zvirokwazvo, hazvingaiti nguva huru.”—HABHAKUKI 2:3.
1. Vanhu vaJehovha vave vachiratidza kutsungai, uye izvi zvave zvichivaita kuti vaitei?
“NDICHANDOMIRA panzvimbo yangu yokutaririra.” Ndiko kwaiva kutsunga kwomuprofita waMwari Habhakuki. (Habhakuki 2:1) Vanhu vaJehovha vomuzana ramakore rechi20 vakaratidza kutsunga kwakafanana. Saka, vakapindura nokushingaira kudanidzira kwakaziviswa pakokorodzano yakachinja zvinhu muna September 1922 kwokuti: “Rino izuva rinokosha. Tarirai, Mambo wotonga! Muri vazivisi vake.

SaHabhakuki, mumwe nomumwe wavo ipapo aigona kuzivisa kuti: “Ndichazviisa parutura rwangu, ndichatarira ndione zvaachataura neni.” Mashoko echiHebheru okuti “tarira” uye “mira” anodzokororwa muuprofita hwakawanda.
“Hazvingaiti Nguva Huru”
3. Nei tichifanira kuramba takarinda?
3 Zvapupu zvaJehovha zvazvinozivisa nyevero yaMwari nhasi, zvinofanira kugara zvakagadzirira kuteerera mashoko okupedzisira ouprofita hukuru hwaJesu okuti: “Rambai makarinda, nokuti hamuzivi pachauya tenzi wemba, zvimwe kumanheru kana pakati pousiku kana pakurira kwejongwe kana mangwanani-ngwanani; kuitira kuti paanongosvika kamwe kamwe, haakuwanii makarara. Asi zvandinotaura kwamuri ndinozvitaurira vose, Rambai makarinda.” (Mako 13:35-37) SaHabhakuki, uye maererano nemashoko aJesu, tinofanira kuramba takarinda!
4. Zvakaita zvinhu nhasi zvakafanana sei nezvomuzuva raHabhakuki munenge muna 628 B.C.E.?

5. Chii chinonyanya kukurudzira pamashoko aMwari akanyorwa pana Habhakuki 2:2, 3?
5 Nokuda kwechikonzero chakanaka, Jehovha akapa Habhakuki basa iri rinofadza achiti: “Nyora zvawaratidzwa, zvionekwe kwazvo pamahwendefa, kuti zvigone kuraviwa nounomhanya. Nokuti zvakaratidzwa izvi ndezvenguva yakatarwa, zvovavarira kuguma, hazvingarevi nhema; kunyange zvikanonoka, uzvimirire, nokuti zvichauya zvirokwazvo, hazvingaiti nguva huru.” (Habhakuki 2:2, 3) Nhasi, uipi nechisimba zvapararira munyika yose, zvichiratidza kuti tamira pamucheto chaipo pe“zuva guru raJehovha rinotyisa.” (Joere 2:31) Zvechokwadi, anokurudzira ndiwo mashoko aJehovha pachake evimbiso anoti: “Hazvingaiti nguva huru”!
6. Tingapukunyuka sei zuva rokutonga riri kuuya?
6 Ipapo, tingapukunyuka sei zuva rokutonga riri kuuya? Jehovha anopindura nokuratidza musiyano uri pakati pavakarurama nevasina kururama achiti: “Tarirai, mweya wavo una manyawi, hauna kururama mukati mavo; asi wakarurama uchararama nokutenda kwake.” (Habhakuki 2:4) Vatongi vanodada nevane makaro uye vamwe vanhu vashatisa nhau yazvino uno neropa remamiriyoni evanhu vasina mhaka, kunyanya muhondo mbiri dzenyika uye nokuurayana kwamadzinza. Kusiyana neizvi, vashumiri vaMwari vakazodzwa vanoda rugare vakatsungirira nokutendeka.

7. Maererano nokushandisa kwaPauro Habhakuki 2:4, tinofanira kuitei?
7 Achinyorera vaKristu vechiHebheru, muapostora Pauro akadzokorora mashoko aHabhakuki 2:4 paaiudza vanhu vaJehovha kuti: “Munofanira kutsungirira, kuitira kuti, kana maita kuda kwaMwari, mugamuchire kuzadzika kwechipikirwa. Nokuti ‘nguva duku zvikuru’ ichiripo, uye ‘iye anouya achasvika uye haanganonoki.’ ‘Asi akarurama wangu achararama nemhaka yokutenda,’ uye, ‘kana akadzokera shure, mweya wangu haumufariri.’” (VaHebheru 10:36-38) Zuva redu harisi nguva yokurembedza ruoko kana kuti yokuiswa mumusungo nenzira dzokuda zvinhu zvenyika zvakanyanya, uye mufaro wenyika yaSatani. Tinofanira kuitei kusvikira “nguva duku zvikuru” yapera? SaPauro, isu vorudzi rutsvene rwaJehovha tinofanira ‘kusveerera zvinhu zviri mberi, tichitevera kuti tibate vavariro’ youpenyu husingaperi. (VaFiripi 3:13, 14) Uye saJesu, tinofanira ‘kutsungirira nokuda kwomufaro wakaiswa pamberi pedu.’—VaHebheru 12:2.
8. “Murume” anotaurwa muna Habhakuki 2:5 ndiani, uye nei asingazobudiriri?
8 Habhakuki 2:5 inorondedzera “murume” uyo, kusiyana nevashumiri vaJehovha, anokundikana kuita zvaanovavarira, kunyange zvazvo a“kashamisa kukara kwake seSheori.” Ndiani murume iyeyu asi“ngaguti”? Nokukara kwakafanana nekweBhabhironi renguva yaHabhakuki, “murume” iyeyu anobatanidza vazhinji, anoumbwa nemasimba ezvematongerwe enyika—angava echiFascist, Nazi, Komonisti, kana kuti kunyange inonzi gutsaruzhinji—anorwa hondo kuti akudziridze nyika dzake. Anozadzawo Sheori, guva, nemweya isina mhaka. Asi “murume” iyeyu anonyengera wenyika yaSatani anoumbwa nevazhinji, akadhakwa nokuzvikudza kwokuzvivimba, haabudiriri mu“kuzviunganidzira marudzi ose, anozvikokerera marudzi ose avanhu.” Jehovha Mwari bedzi ndiye anogona kubatanidza vanhu, uye achaita izvi achishandisa Umambo hwaMesiya.—Mateu 6:9, 10.

Vane mwoyo yakarurama vakadaro ‘havangamudadiri nechirahwe’ chinopiwa naJehovha. Tinorava pana Habhakuki 2:6 kuti: “Une nhamo unowanza zvisati zviri zvake! Kusvikira riniko? Uye unozviremedza noubatso!”
10 Pano chinosimbiswa ndechemhindu isina kururama. Munyika yakatipoteredza, vapfumi vanowedzera kupfuma, uye varombo vanowedzera kuva varombo. Vanotengesa zvinodhaka nevanokorovhera vanowana pfuma huru, nepo vanhuwo zvavo vakawanda vachitambura. Zvikamu zvina muzana zvevanhu vose munyika zvinonzi zvinorarama muurombo hwakanyanya. Nzira yokurarama nayo iri kutyisa munyika dzakawanda. Vaya vanopanga kururama pasi pano vanotaura kuti: “Kusvikira riniko” uipi uhwu huchiwanda! Asi, mugumo wasvika! Zvechokwadi, zvakaratidzwa izvi “hazvingaiti nguva huru.”
11. Habhakuki anotii pamusoro pokuteura ropa ravanhu, uye nei tingati kune mhaka yeropa yakakura pasi pano nhasi?

Jesu akataura pachena kuti: “Vose vanotora bakatwa vachaparara nebakatwa.” (Mateu 26:52) Asi, muzana ramakore rechi20 bedzi, marudzi ane mhaka yeropa uye mapoka emadzinza ave achikonzera kuurayiwa kwevanhu vanopfuura mamiriyoni zana. Vane nhamo vanobatanidzwa mukuteura ropa uku!
Nhamo Yechipiri
12. Nhamo yechipiri yakanyorwa naHabhakuki chii, uye tingava sei nechokwadi chokuti pfuma isiri yokutendeseka haizoyamuri?

14. Zvitendero zvenyika zvave zvine mutoroi wemhaka yeropa?
14 Nhamo yechitatu yakaziviswa naHabhakuki inorondedzera nhau yeropa.

15. (a) Marudzi ari kupfuurira kuitei nokutsigira kana kuti kubvumira kwechechi? (b) Sangano Romubatanidzwa Wenyika Dzapasi Pose ringamisa kuti nyika ino ivezve nezvombo here?
15 Chimwe chezvinhu zvakaipisisa chehondo yenyika yechipiri chaiva Kuparadza Kukuru kweNazi, kwakauraya zviuru zvevaJudha uye vamwe vasina mhaka muEurope. Nguva pfupi yapfuura bedzi vakuru vakuru veRoma Katurike muFrance ndipo pavakabvuma kuti vakakundikana kushora kutumirwa kwemazana ezviuru zvevanhu kumusasa worufu weNazi. Asi, marudzi anopfuurira kugadzirira kuteura ropa, chechi ichizvitsigira kana kuti kuzvibvumira. Ichitaura nezveChechi yokuRussia yeOrthodox, magazini inonzi Time (chinyorwa chenyika dzakawanda) munguva pfupi yapfuura yakati: “Chechi yakamutsiridzwa inoshandisawo pesvedzero huru munzvimbo yakanga isingambofungidzirwi: varwi vokuRussia. . . . Kukomborera ndege nezvivako unenge wava muitiro. Muna November, Mumusha weMamongi womuDanilovsky womuMoscow, munogara Mukuru Mukuru wokuRussia, chechi yakatosvika pakuyeresa dura rezvombo zvenyukireya zveRussia.” Sangano Romubatanidzwa Wenyika Dzapasi Pose ringamisa kuti nyika ino ivezve nezvombo zvehondo zvoutsinye here? Kana! Maererano nepepanhau rinonzi The Guardian rokuLondon, England, akawana Mubayiro woRugare weNobel akatsinhira kuti: “Chinovhiringidza zvechokwadi ndechokuti nhengo shanu dzechigarire dzeUN Security Council ndidzo nhengo shanu dzenyika huru dzinogovera zvombo.”

Habhakuki 2:13 inoti: “Tarirai, hazvina kubva kuna Jehovha wehondo here kuti vanhu vabatire moto, uye kuti marudzi avanhu azvinetse nokuda kwezvisina maturo?” “Jehovha wehondo”! Hungu, Jehovha ane mauto engirozi dzokudenga, aachashandisa kuparadza vanhu uye marudzi anoda hondo!
17. Zivo yaJehovha ichazadza pasi zvakadini pashure pokutonga kwake marudzi ane chisimba?
17 Chii chichatevera kutonga kwaJehovha mapoka emarudzi iwayo ane chisimba? Habhakuki 2:14 inopa mhinduro yokuti: “Nyika yose ichazadzwa nokuziva kubwinya kwaJehovha, mvura sezvainofukidza pasi pegungwa.” Itariro yakaisvonaka zvakadini! PaAmagedhoni, uchangamire hwaJehovha hucharevererwa nokusingaperi. (Zvakazarurwa 16:16) Anotivimbisa kuti acha‘ita kuti nzvimbo yetsoka dzake ive nembiri,’ pasi pano patinogara. (Isaya 60:13) Vanhu vose vachadzidziswa munzira dzaMwari dzoupenyu, zvokuti zivo yezvinangwa zvine mbiri zvaJehovha ichazadza pasi sokuzadza kunoita makungwa hova dzenyanza.

Jehovha anoita kuti muprofita azivise mashoko aya ane simba okuti: “Une nhamo unoti kudanda: Muka! kana kubwe risingagoni kutaura: Simuka! Zvinhu izvi zvingadzidzisa here? Tarirai, zvakanamirwa nendarama nesirivheri, asi hakuna mweya mukati mazvo napaduku.” (Habhakuki 2:19) Nhasi, chiKristudhomu nechinonzi chihedheni zvinopfugamira zvipiyaniso zvavo, vanaMadonna, mifananidzo, uye zvimwe zvakafanana nomunhu nemhuka. Hapana chimwe chazvo chingamuka ndokuponesa vanamati vazvo Jehovha paanouya kuzotonga.
