Jehovha akafanoona kuti Evha aizonyanya kuda kuratidzwa rudo uye kuitirwa hanya nemurume wake uye zvaizoita kuti Adhamu amutonge. Abheri aitarisa zvose izvi zvichiitika kuvabereki vake.

Saka Abheri aiva nezvikonzero zvakasimba zvokutenda muchipikirwa chaMwari chaitaura nezvembeu, kana kuti “mwana,” uyo rimwe zuva aizogadzirisa zvikanganiso zvakanga zvatangira muEdheni.—Gen. 3:15-19.

16, 17. Abheri angangodaro akadzidzei kubva pamakerubhi aJehovha?

¹⁶ Vashumiri vaJehovha. Abheri haana kana mienzaniso yakanaka yaakawana mumhuri yevanhu, asi vanhu vainge vasiri ivo voga zvisikwa zvakangwara zvaiva panyika panguva iyoyo. Adhamu naEvha pavakadzingwa mumunda wacho, Jehovha akava nechokwadi chokuti ivo kana kuti vana vavo vaisazokwanisa kupinda muParadhiso iyoyo yaiva panyika. Kuti arinde nzira yaipinda mumunda wacho, Jehovha akaisa makerubhi—ngirozi dzine chinzvimbo chepamusoro—pamwe chete nebakatwa raibvira moto raitenderera nguva dzose.—Verenga Genesisi 3:24.

¹⁷ Fungidzira zvazvakanga zvakaita kuna Abheri kuona makerubhi iwayo paakanga ari kakomana. Sezvo makerubhi acho aionekwa aine miviri yevanhu, Abheri aigona kuona kuti aiva nesimba guru. Uye “bakatwa” iroro, rairamba richibvira moto, richigarotenderera, raiitawo kuti atye. Abheri zvaaikura, akamboona makerubhi iwayo achifinhikana here ndokusiya basa rawo? Kwete. Siku nesikati, gore negore, zvisikwa izvozvo zvakangwara, zvine simba zvairamba zviri pabasa razvakapiwa. Saka Abheri akadzidza kuti Jehovha Mwari aiva nevashumiri vakarurama uye vakatendeka.

Handizvo here kuti muenzaniso wake unotaura nesu? Zvikurukuru vechiduku vangakurudzirwa nokuziva kuti vanogona kuva nekutenda kwechokwadi muna Jehovha Mwari, pasinei nezvinoitwa nevemumhuri mavo. Tine zvikonzero zvakakwana zvokuva nekutenda mazuva ano nekuti tinoona zvakasikwa zvakatipoteredza, tine Bhaibheri rakazara uyewo tine mienzaniso yakawanda yevanhu vaiva nekutenda.

Zviri pachena kuti Mwari aisada chero chipo kana rubatsiro kubva kuvanhu. Nokufamba kwenguva, Abheri akazoziva chokwadi chinokosha chokuti: Baba vake vokudenga vane rudo vaizofara kana aizongovapa chinhu chakanakisisa kubva pane zvaaiva nazvo aine vavariro yakanaka.

20, 21. Kaini naAbheri vakapa zvinopiwa zvakaita sei kuna Jehovha, uye iye akapindura sei?

²⁰ Abheri akagadzirira kupa mamwe makwai ake. Akasarudza akanakisisa, akatanga kuberekwa uye nhindi dzaaiona sedzakanakisisa. Panguva iyi, Kaini akatsvakawo kukomborerwa uye kufarirwa naMwari, achigadzira chinopiwa kubva pazvirimwa zvake. Asi vavariro dzake dzakanga dzisina kufanana nedzaAbheri. Musiyano wacho wakazova pachena vaviri vacho pavakapa zvinopiwa zvavo.

Jehovha akapindura! Tinoverenga kuti: ‘Jehovha akanga akatarira achifarira Abheri nechinopiwa chake.’ (Gen. 4:4) Bhaibheri haritauri kuti Mwari akaratidza sei kufarira kwake.

22, 23. Nei Jehovha akafarira chinopiwa chaAbheri?

²² Nei Mwari akafarira Abheri? Chaiva chinopiwa chacho here chakaita kuti afarirwe? Abheri akapa chisikwa chipenyu, chinofema achiteura ropa racho raimiririra upenyu. Abheri aiziva here kuti chibayiro chakadaro chaizova chinokosha zvakadini? Papera mazana emakore kubva panguva yaAbheri, Mwari akashandisa chibayiro chegwayana risina kukanganisika kuti afananidzire chibayiro cheMwanakomana wake akakwana, “Gwayana raMwari,” uyo ane ropa risina mhosva raizoteurwa. (Joh. 1:29; Eks. 12:5-7) Zvisinei, Abheri akanga asingazivi kana kunzwisisa zvizhinji zvacho.

²³ Chatinonyatsoziva ndeichi: Abheri akapa zvakanakisisa pane zvaaiva nazvo. Jehovha haana kungotarira achifarira chinopiwa chacho chete asi akafarirawo munhu wacho pachake. Achikurudzirwa nekuda kwaaiita Jehovha uye nokutenda kwechokwadi maari, Abheri akapa chibayiro.

Jehovha “haana kutombofarira Kaini nechinopiwa chake.” (Gen. 4:5) Kwaisava kuti chinopiwa chaKaini chainge chisina kukodzera; pave paya Mutemo waMwari wakazobvumira kuti zvibereko zvevhu zvishandiswe sezvinopiwa. (Revh. 6:14, 15) Asi Bhaibheri rinotaura nezvaKaini kuti “mabasa ake akanga akaipa.” (Verenga 1 Johani 3:12.) Kufanana nevakawanda mazuva ano, zviri pachena kuti Kaini akafunga kuti kungoratidza nechekunze kuzvipira kuna Mwari kwainge kwakakwana. Kushayiwa kwake kutenda kwechokwadi muna Jehovha kana kuti kusamuda zvakakurumidza kuratidzwa pachena nezviito zvake.

²⁶ Kaini haana kuteerera nyevero yaMwari. Akakumbira munun’una wake uyo akanga asina chaaimbofungira kuti vaende vose musango. Vari ikoko, Kaini akarwisa Abheri ndokumuponda. (Gen. 4:8) Nekumwe kutaura, Abheri akabva ava munhu wokutanga kutambudzirwa chitendero, munhu wokutanga kuurayirwa zvaanotenda. Kunyange zvazvo ainge afa, Jehovha akanga asina kukanganwa Abheri.

27. (a) Nei tingava nechivimbo chokuti Abheri achamutswa? (b) Tingava sei nechokwadi chekuzosangana naAbheri rimwe zuva?

²⁷ Nenzira yokufananidzira, ropa raAbheri rakashevedzera kuna Jehovha Mwari kuti atsive kana kuti aruramisire. Uye Mwari akaita kuti pave nokururamisira, achiranga Kaini akaipa pamusana pemhosva yake. (Gen. 4:9-12) Chinotonyanya kukosha ndechokuti nyaya yokutenda kwaAbheri iri kutaura nesu nhasi. Urefu hwoupenyu hwake—zvichida makore anenge 100—hwaiva hupfupi kuvanhu vepanguva iyoyo, asi Abheri akashandisa upenyu hwake zvakanaka. Akafa achiziva kuti aidiwa uye aifarirwa naBaba vake vekudenga, Jehovha. (VaH. 11:4) Saka tinogona kuva nechivimbo chokuti acharamba achiyeukwa naJehovha, achimirira kumutswa kuti ararame muparadhiso yepanyika. (Joh. 5:28, 29) Uchasangana naye imomo here? Unogona kuzosangana naye kana ukatsunga kuteerera Abheri sezvaanotaura uye kutevedzera kutenda kwake kwakakura.
