Ŵacekuru Ni Thumbiko ku Ŵawukirano
“Nanga mphakucekura ine na kuŵa na mbuha, A Ciuta, mungandisidanga, ndisuke ndipharazge nkhongono zinu ku nthanga yinyake.”—SALMO 71:18.
1, 2. Kasi ŵateŵeti ŵa Ciuta awo mbacekuru ŵakwenera kumanya vici, ndipo sono tidumbiskanenge vici?
KUMANJILIRO gha dazi kwa Africa, mulara munyake wa mpingo wakayendera mbale munyake mucekuru uyo wakaŵa wakuphakazgika. Wakamutawuzga wakati, “Muliko wuli?” Mbali mucekuru wakazgora kuti, “Ningacimbira na kudukaduka,” ndipo wakayelezgeranga kucita ivyo wakayowoyanga. Wakayowoyaso kuti: “Kweni ningaphululuka yayi.” Mulara wa mpingo uyu wakapulikiska ivyo mucekuru uyu wakang’anamuranga. Mu mazgu ghanyake, mucekuru uyu wakatenge, ‘Ico nkhumanya kuti ningafiska, nkhucita na mtima wose, kweni ico nkhuwona kuti ningafiska yayi, nkhucita yayi.’ Mulara uyo wakendera mucekuru uyu, sono wali na vilimika vya m’ma 80, ndipo wacali kukumbuka makora umo mucekuru uyu wakawoneranga vinthu ndiposo kugomezgeka kwake.
2 Usange mucekuru wakulondezga ulongozgi wa Ciuta, ciyelezgero cake cingawovwira ŵanji kwa nyengo yitali. Mbunenesko kuti ucekuru pa iwo wekha ukupa munthu vinjeru yayi, nesi mikhaliro yakuyana na ya Khristu. (Mupharazgi 4:13) Baibolo likuti: “Mbuha ndizo mphumphu ya ucindami, zili nga ndi njombe ya umoyo wa urunji.” (Zintharika 16:31) Usange ndimwe mucekuru, kasi mukumanya umo mazgu ghinu na vyakucita vinu vingawovwilira ŵanji? Wonani viyelezgero vya ŵacekuru ŵanyake awo ŵakuzunurika mu Baibolo ivyo vikulongora umo ŵacekuru ŵakuŵira thumbiko ku ŵawukirano.
Cipulikano Ico Cawovwira Comene Ŵanji
3. Kasi kugomezgeka kwa Nowa kwakhwaska wuli ŵanthu?
3 Cipulikano na kugomezgeka kwa Nowa vyawovwira ŵanthu mpaka sono. Nowa wakaŵa pafupi kufika vilimika 600 apo wakazenga cingalaŵa, kuwunjika vinyama, na kupharazgira ŵazengezgani ŵake. (Genesis 7:6; 2 Petros 2:5) Cifukwa ca kopa Ciuta, Nowa na mbumba yake ŵakapona Ciwowota ndipo ndiyo ni mupapi wa ŵanthu wose awo ŵaliko. Mbunenesko kuti Nowa wakakhalanga mu nyengo iyo umoyo wa ŵanthu ukaŵanga utali. Ndipouli, nanga ni apo Nowa wakacekura comene, wakalutilira kuŵa wakugomezgeka ndipo wakatumbikika comene. Mwauli?
4. Kasi nchanduro wuli ico ŵateŵeti ŵa Ciuta mazuŵa ghano ŵasanga cifukwa ca kugomezgeka kwa Nowa?
4 Nowa wakaŵa pafupi kufika vilimika 800 apo Nimurodi wakamba kuzenga Gongwe la Babele mwakususkana na dango la Yehova, lakuti ŵanthu ‘ŵazuzge caru.’ (Genesis 9:1; 11:1-9) Ndipouli, Nowa wakacitako yayi ucigaruka wa Nimurodi. Mwantheura, ciyowoyero cake cikwenera kuti cikasintha yayi apo Ciuta wakatimbanizga ciyowoyero ca ŵakugaruka aŵa. Nowa wakalongora cipulikano na kugomezgeka kuucekuru pera yayi, kweni umoyo wake wose. Mwantheura, nchakwenelera kuti ŵateŵeti ŵa Ciuta ŵa misinkhu yose ŵalondezge ciyelezgero cake.—Ŵahebere 11:7.
Kovwira Mbumba
5, 6. (a) Apo Abrahamu wakaŵa na vilimika 75, kasi Yehova wakamuphalira kuti waciteci? (b) Kasi Abrahamu wakacita wuli na ivyo Ciuta wakamuphalira?
5 Umoyo wa ŵapapi ŵakugomezgeka awo ŵakaŵako pamanyuma pa Nowa ukulongora kuti ŵacekuru ŵangawovwira comene mbumba zawo. Abrahamu wakaŵa na vilimika 75 apo Ciuta wakamuphalira kuti: “Fuma iwe mu caru cako, na ku ŵabali ŵako, na ku nyumba ya wuso, kuya ku caru ico tindikulongore. Ndipo tindikuzgore iwe uŵenge mtundu ukuru, ndikutumbikenge.”—Genesis 12:1, 2.
6 Kasi mungajipulika wuli usange mungaphalirika kuti muleke nyumba yinu, ŵabwezi ŵinu, caru cinu, na ŵacibali ŵinu, kuti mulute ku caru cacilendo? Ivi ndivyo Abrahamu wakaphalirika kuti wacite. Iyo “wakaluta umo Yehova wakayowoyera kwa iye,” ndipo kufuma pa nyengo iyi mpaka apo wakafwira wakakhaliranga kwendendeka na kugona mu mahema nga ni mulendo mu caru ca Kenani. (Genesis 12:4; Ŵahebere 11:8, 9) Nangauli Yehova wakayowoya kuti Abrahamu wakeneranga kuzakaŵa “mtundu ukuru,” kweni wakafwa pambere ŵana ŵake ŵandandane. Apo muwoli wake Sara wakamubabira mwana yumoza pera, Isaki, Abrahamu wakaŵa kuti wakhala kale mu caru ca layizgano vilimika 25. (Genesis 21:2, 5) Ndipouli, Abrahamu wakagongowa yayi nesi kuwelera ku msumba wa kwake. Ici nchiyelezgero ciwemi comene pa nkhani ya cipulikano na kuzizipizga.
7. Kasi cipulikano na kuzizipizga kwa Abrahamu vikawovwira wuli mwana wake Isaki, ndipo vyawovwira wuli ŵanthu?
7 Kuzizipizga kwa Abrahamu kukawovwira comene mwana wake Isaki, uyo umoyo wake wose wa vilimika 180 wakakhalanga nga ni mu mulendo mu caru ca Kenani. Isaki wakazizipizga cifukwa ca kuŵa na cipulikano mu layizgo la Ciuta. Awiske, awo ŵakaŵa ŵacekuru, ndiwo ŵakapandamo cipulikano ici, ndipo pamanyuma cikakhozgeka na mazgu agho Yehova wakamuphalira. (Genesis 26:2-5) Kugomezgeka kwa Isaki kukawovwira comene kuti Yehova wafiske layizgo lake lakuti “mphapu” iyo ŵanthu ŵazamutumbikikiramo yizamufuma mu mbumba ya Abrahamu. Pakati pajumpha vilimika mahandiredi ghanandi, Yesu Khristu, uyo nchigaŵa cakwambilira ca “mphapu” iyi, wakajura nthowa kwa wose awo ŵali na cipulikano mwa iyo kuti ŵagowokeleke na Ciuta na kusangwa na umoyo wamuyirayira.—Ŵagalatiya 3:16; Yohane 3:16, 16.
8. Kasi Yakobe wakalongora wuli cipulikano cakukhora, ndipo cikawovwira njani?
8 Isaki nayo wakawovwira mwana wake Yakobe kuti waŵe na cipulikano cakukhora, ico cikamovwira mpaka kuucekuru wake. Yakobe wakaŵa na vilimika 97 apo wakajunthana na mungelo usiku wose kuti wamutumbike. (Genesis 32:24-28) Apo Yakobe wakaŵa na vilimika 147, ndipo wakaŵa pafupi kufwa, wakajikhomezga na kutumbika ŵana ŵake wose 12. (Genesis 47:28) Mazgu ghaucimi agho wakayowoya, agho ghali pa Genesis 49:1-28, ghakafiskika ndipo ghanyake ghacali kufiskika.
9. Kasi ivyo ŵacekuru ŵakukhwima mwauzimu ŵakucita vingawovwira wuli mbumba zawo?
9 Apa nchakuwonekerathu kuti ŵateŵeti ŵakugomezgeka ŵa Ciuta awo mbacekuru ŵangawovwira comene mbumba zawo. Ulongozgi wa mu Malemba na mazgu ghinu ghavinjeru ndiposo kuzizipizga kwinu, vingawovwira comene muwukirano kuti wakure na cipulikano cankhongono. (Zintharika 22:6) Ŵacekuru ŵaleke kudelera kuti ivyo ŵakucita vingawovwira comene mbumba zawo.
Kovwira Ŵasopi Ŵanyinu
10. Kasi Yosefe wakapeleka dango wuli lakukhwaskana na “viwangwa vyake,” ndipo likawovwira wuli?
10 Ŵacekuru ŵangawovwiraso Ŵakhristu ŵanyawo. Apo Yosefe, mwana wa Yakobe wakacekura, wakacita cinthu cipusu kweni cikalongora cipulikano ndipo cikawovwira ŵasopi ŵaunenesko ŵanandi awo ŵakaŵako iyo wati wafwa. Apo Yosefe wakapelekanga dango lakuti para Ŵaisrayeli ŵakufuma mu Eguputo ŵayeghe “viwangwa vyake,” wakaŵa na vilimika 110. (Ŵahebere 11:22; Genesis 50:25) Dango ili likakhozga cilindizga ca Ŵaisrayeli cakuti ŵazamuwombokwa ku wuzga uwo ŵakaŵamo kwa vilimika vinandi pamasinda pa nyifwa ya Yosefe.
11. Kasi apo Mozesi wakaŵa mucekuru wakwenera kuti wakawovwira wuli Joshua?
11 Yumoza mwa wa awo ŵakakhozgeka na cipulikano ca Yosefe wakaŵa Mozesi. Apo Mozesi wakaŵa na vilimika 80, wakaŵa na mwaŵi wa kuyegha viwangwa vya Yosefe kufuma ku Eguputo. (Exodus 13:19) Pa nyengo iyi, wakamanyana na Joshua uyo wakaŵa mwana mucoko. Kwa vilimika 40 vyakulondezgapo, Joshua wakaŵa muteŵeti wa Mozesi. (Maŵazgo 11:28) Apo Mozesi wakalutanga ku phiri la Sinayi, Joshua wakamupelekezga na kumulindilira mpaka apo wakawerangako na viphapha vya ukaboni. (Exodus 24:12-18; 32:15-17) Mozesi wakwenera kuti wakamovwira comene Joshua mwa kumupa ulongozgi wavinjeru.
12. Kasi Joshua wakawovwira wuli mtundu wa Israyeli kwa umoyo wake wose?
12 Pamanyuma, Joshua nayo wakakhozga mtundu wa Israyeli kwa umoyo wake wose. Lemba la Ŵeruzgi 2:7 likutiphalira kuti: “Ŵanthu ŵakamuteŵetera Yehova mazuŵa ghose gha Joshua, na mazuŵa ghose gha ŵalara awo ŵakakhala ŵamoyo wakati wafwa Joshua, awo ŵakawona milimo yikuru yose ya Yehova, iyo Iye wakacitira Israyeli.” Kweni Joshua na ŵanalume ŵalara ŵakati ŵafwa, kwa vilimika 300 cikaŵa cakusuzga kupambaniska pakati pa kusopa kwa unenesko na kwautesi. Suzgo ili likafika mpaka mu mazuŵa gha mprofeti Samuel.
Samuel ‘Wakacita Urunji’
13. Kasi Samuel wakacitaci kuti ‘wacite urunji’?
13 Baibolo likuyowoya yayi vilimika ivyo Samuel wakaŵa navyo apo wakafwanga, kweni vyakucitika ivyo vili mu buku lakwamba la Samuel vikatora pafupifupi vilimika 102, ndipo vinandi mwa vyakucitika ivi Samuel wakaviwona. Pa Ŵahebere 11:32, 33, tikuŵazga za ŵeruzgi na ŵaprofeti ŵakunyoroka awo “ŵakacita urunji.” Samuel wakawovwira Ŵaisrayeli ŵanyake kuti ŵagege panji kuleka kucita uheni. (1 Samuel 7:2-4) Wakaŵawovwira wuli? Mwakuŵa wakugomezgeka kwa Yehova umoyo wake wose. (1 Samuel 12:2-5) Wakacitanga wofi yayi kucenya munthu, nanga lingaŵa themba. (1 Samuel 15:16-29) Kweniso Samuel wakaŵa ciyelezgero ciwemi pa nkhani ya kulombera ŵanji, nangauli ‘wakacekura’ na kuŵa na “mbuha ku mutu.” Iyo wakati: “Cindiŵire kutali kuti ndimunangire Yehova pa kuleka kumulomberani.” Apa wakang’anamuranga kulombera Ŵaisrayeli ŵanyake.—1 Samuel 12:2, 23.
14, 15. Kasi ŵacekuru mazuŵa ghano ŵangalondezga wuli ciyelezgero ca Samuel pa nkhani ya lurombo?
14 Vyose ivi vikulongora umo ŵacekuru ŵangawovwilira ŵateŵeti ŵanyawo ŵa Yehova. Nangauli ŵangaŵa na masuzgo mu thupi cifukwa ca ucekuru panji pa vifukwa vinyake, kweni ŵangalombera ŵanji. Ŵacekuru, kasi mukumanya umo mpingo ukusangira canduro na malurombo ghinu? Cifukwa cakuti muli na cipulikano mu ndopa za Khristu, muli paubwezi uwemi na Yehova. Kweniso cifukwa cakuti mwazizipizga nyengo yitali, cipulikano cinu cili “kuyezgeka.” (Yakobe 1:3; 1 Petros 1:7) Mungaluwanga yayi kuti: “Kuŵeya kwa munthu murunji kuli na nkhongono comene mu kacitiro kake.”—Yakobe 5:16.
15 Malurombo ghinu ngakukhumbikwa, mukwenera kulombera mulimo wakukhwaskana na Ufumu wa Yehova. Ŵabali ŵithu ŵanyake ŵali mu jere cifukwa ca kukana kunjira mu ndyali. Ŵanji ŵakusuzgika cifukwa ca masoka gha cilengiwa, nkhondo, na viwawa ivyo vikuŵapo cifukwa ca kusankhana mitundu. Paliso ŵanji mu mipingo yithu awo ŵali na viyezgo panji ŵakususkika. (Mateyu 10:35, 36) Awo ŵakulongozga mulimo wakupharazga na kulaŵilira mipingo nawo ŵakukhumbikwira kuŵalombera. (Ŵaefeso 6:18, 19; Ŵakolose 4:2, 3) Nchiwemi comene kuti muzunurenge ŵasopi ŵanyinu mu malurombo ghinu, nga umo wakacitira Epafra.—Ŵakolose 4:12.
Kusambizga Muwiro Unyake
16, 17. Kasi lemba la Salmo 71:18 likayowoyerathu vici, ndipo vyafiskika wuli?
16 Ŵa “mberere zinyake,” Ŵakhristu awo ŵali na cilindizga ca kuzakakhala kwamuyirayira pa caru capasi, ŵawovwirika comene cifukwa ca kukolerana na ŵa Ŵakhristu ŵakugomezgeka ŵa “kamskambo kacoko,” awo cilindizga cawo ncha kucanya. (Luka 12:32; Yohane 10:16) Ici cikayowoyekerathu pa Salmo 71:18, apo pakuti: “Nanga mphakucekura ine na kuŵa na mbuha, A Ciuta, mungandisidanga, ndisuke ndipharazge nkhongono zinu ku nthanga yinyake.” (Salmo 71:18) Pambere ŵandalute kucanya kukawusa pamoza na Yesu Khristu, Ŵakhristu ŵakuphakazgika na mzimu mbakunweka kusambizga ŵa mberere zinyake milimo yakusazgikira.
17 Fundo iyo yili mu lemba la Salmo 71:18, yakuyowoya za kusambizga “nthanga yinyake,” yikugwiraso nchito pa ŵa mberere zinyake, awo ŵakusambizgika na ŵakuphakazgika ŵa Ciuta. Yehova wapa ŵacekuru mwaŵi wakuti ŵapharazge za iyo kwa awo ŵakwamba sono unenesko. (Joel 1:2, 3) Ŵa mberere zinyake ŵakuwona kuti ŵatumbikika cifukwa ca visambizgo vya mu Malemba ivyo ŵasambizgika na ŵakuphakazgika, ndipo ici cikuŵacitiska kuti ŵasambizge ŵanji awo ŵali na khumbo la kuteŵetera Yehova.—Civumbuzi 7:9, 10.
18, 19. (a) Kasi ni vinthu wuli vyakuzirwa ivyo ŵateŵeti ŵanandi ŵa Yehova awo mbacekuru ŵangasambizga muwiro wasono? (b) Kasi Ŵakhristu ŵacekuru ŵakwenera kumanyaci?
18 Ŵateŵeti ŵa Yehova awo mbacekuru, kwali mbakuphakazgika panji ŵa mberere zinyake, ŵakumanya makora vinthu vyakuzirwa ivyo vikacitika kale, mwakuti ndiwo ŵangaphalirako muwiro wasono. Pacali ŵacekuru ŵanji awo ŵakawonanga apo seŵero la vithuzithuzi vyakulongora cilengiwa (Photo-Drama of Creation) likalongorekanga. Ŵanyake ŵakaŵamanyanga ŵabali ŵakulongozga, awo ŵakakakika mu 1918. Ŵanji ŵakacitapo uteŵeti wa kupharazga pa wayilesi ya Watchtower, yakucemeka WBBR. Ŵanandi ŵangayowoya nyengo iyo milandu yakuti Ŵakaboni ŵa Yehova ŵasopenge kwawanangwa yikazengekanga mu makhoti ghakuru. Kweniso ŵanji ŵakasunkhunyika yayi apo ŵakaŵa mu vyaru vya muwuso wa nkhaza. Enya nadi, ŵacekuru ŵangakonkhoska umo unenesko wavumbukwira pacokopacoko. Baibolo likuticiska kuti tisange canduro na ivyo ŵacekuru ŵakumanya.—Duteronome 32:7.
19 Ŵakhristu awo mbacekuru ŵakuciskika kuti ŵalongorenge ciyelezgero ciwemi ku ŵawukirano. (Tito 2:2-4) Mutepanji mukuwona yayi umo kuzizipizga kwinu, malurombo, na ulongozgi winu vyawovwilira ŵanji. Panji Nowa, Abrahamu, Yosefe, Mozesi, na ŵanji nawo ŵakamanyanga yayi umo kugomezgeka kwawo kuzamukhwaskira muwiro wa munthazi. Ndipouli, nkhani ya cipulikano na kugomezgeka kwawo yawovwira comene mazuŵa ghano. Ciyelezgero cinu naco covwirenge comene muwiro wasono.
20. Ni vitumbiko wuli ivyo vikulindilira awo ŵakoleskenge cilindizga cawo mpaka kuumaliro?
20 Kwali muzamupona “suzgo yikuru” panji muzamuwuskika ku ŵakufwa, kweni cizamuŵa cakukondweska kuzakasangwa na “umoyo uwo mbumoyo weneco.” (Mateyu 24:21; 1 Timote 6:19) Ghanaghanirani waka umo vinthu vizamuŵira mu Muwuso wa Khristu wa Vilimika Cikwi apo Yehova wazamuwuskapo masuzgo ghose agho ghakwiza cifukwa ca ucekuru. M’malo mwa kuzakadandaura na masuzgo gha mu thupi, zuŵa lililose tizamuwukanga na nkhongono zakusazgikira, kulaŵiska makora, kupulika makora, ndipo mankhwanda ghose ghazamumara. (Job 33:25; Yesaya 35:5, 6) Awo ŵazamutumbikika na kukhala mu caru ciphya ca Ciuta, ŵazamuwonekanga nga mbana ŵacoko pakuyelezgera na umoyo wamuyirayira uwo ŵazamukhala. (Yesaya 65:22) Mwantheura, mphanyi waliyose wa ise walutilira kukoleska cilindizga cake mpaka kuumaliro na kulutilira kuteŵetera Yehova na mtima wose. Tingaŵa ŵakusimikizga kuti Yehova wafiskenge vyose ivyo walayizga, ndipo ivyo wazamucita vizamuluska umo tikughanaghanira.—Salmo 37:4; 145:16.
Kasi Mungazgora Wuli?
• Kasi ŵanthu wose ŵatumbikika wuli cifukwa ca kugomezgeka kwa Nowa?
• Kasi cipulikano ca ŵapapi ŵakugomezgeka ŵa mu nyengo yakale cikawovwira wuli muwiro wa munthazi?
• Kasi apo Yosefe, Mozesi, Joshua, na Samuel ŵakacekura, ŵakakhozga wuli ŵasopi ŵanyawo?
• Kasi ni vinthu wuli ivyo ŵacekuru ŵangaphalira muwiro uphya?
