Cigomezgo ca Kuzakakhala pa Caru Capasi Kwamuyirayira Cikabowozgekaso
‘Kweni iwe, Daniyeli, usunge mazgu kufikira nyengo yaumaliro; ŵanandi ŵamkucimbira uku na uko, na mahara ghamkwandana.’—DAN. 12:4.
1, 2. Kasi tidumbiskanenge mafumbo wuli mu nkhani iyi?
MAZUŴA ghano ŵanandi ŵakupulikiska makora vifukwa vya mu Malemba vyakugomezgera kuti kunthazi ŵanthu ŵazamuŵa ŵamoyo kwamuyirayira mu paradiso. (Uvu. 7:9, 17) Wati walenga ŵanthu ŵakwamba, Ciuta wakalongora kuti wakaŵalenga na cilato cakuti ŵakhale kwamuyirayira, kuti kwa vilimika vicoko waka na kufwa yayi.—Gen. 1:26-28.
2 Ŵaisrayeli ŵakaŵa na cigomezgo cakuti Ciuta wazamovwira ŵanthu kuti ŵaŵeso ŵakufikapo nga umo Adamu wakaŵira pambere wandanange. Malemba Ghacigiriki ghakulongosora umo Ciuta wacitirenge kuti ŵanthu ŵazakakhale kwamuyirayira mu Paradiso. Ipo nchifukwa wuli cigomezgo ici cikakhumbikwiranga kucibowozgaso? Kasi cikavumbukwa wuli ndiposo kumanyikwa ku ŵanthu?
Cigomezgo Cikabisika
3. Cifukwa wuli nchakuzizika yayi kuti cigomezgo ca umoyo wamuyirayira pa caru capasi cikabisika?
3 Yesu wakayowoyerathu kuti nchimi zitesi zizamutimbanizga visambizgo vyake, ndipo ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵazamupuluskika. (Mat. 24:11) Mpositole Petrosi wakacenjezga Ŵakhristu, wakati: ‘Kuzamuŵa ŵasambizgi ŵatesi pakati pinu.’ (2 Pet. 2:1) Mpositole Paulosi wakayowoya za “nyengo apo [ŵanthu] ŵazamulutilira cara kutegherezga cisambizgo caunenesko, kweni mwakuyana na makhumbiro ghawo, ŵazamujiwunjikira ŵasambizgi kuti ŵapulike ivyo vikukondweska makutu ghawo.” (2 Tim. 4:3, 4) Satana ndiyo wakupuluska ŵanthu, ndipo wakugwiliskira nchito Cikhristu cautesi kuti wabise unenesko wakuyowoya za khumbo la Ciuta lakukhwaskana na ŵanthu ndiposo caru.—Ŵazgani 2 Ŵakorinte 4:3, 4.
4. Kasi nchigomezgo wuli cakukhwaskana na ŵanthu ico ŵalongozgi ŵa cisopa cautesi ŵakana?
4 Malemba ghakulongosora kuti Ufumu wa Ciuta ni boma ilo lili kucanya, leneilo lizamuparanya na kuwuskirapothu maboma ghose ghakuwusika na ŵanthu. (Dan. 2:44) Mu muwuso wa Khristu wa vilimika cikwi, Satana wazamujalirika mu cizongwe, ŵakufwa ŵazamuwuskika ndipo ŵanthu ŵazamuzgoka ŵakufikapo. (Uvu. 20:1-3, 6, 12; 21:1-4) Ndipouli, ŵalongozgi ŵa Cikhristu cautesi ŵakusambizga vinthu vyakupambana na cigomezgo ici. Mwaciyelezgero, Origen uyo wakaŵa Bambo pa chalichi linyake ku Alexandria mu vilimika vya m’ma 200 C.E, wakasuska comene ŵanthu awo ŵakaŵa na cigomezgo cakuti Muwuso wa Vilimika Cikwi uzamutumbika caru capasi. The Catholic Encyclopedia yikuti Augustine, msambizgi wa vyacisopa wa Cikatolika wa ku Hippo mu 354-430 C.E., “wakakhozgera fundo yakuti kuzamuŵavya muwuso wa vilimika cikwi.”a
5, 6. Cifukwa wuli Origen na Augustine ŵakasuska cigomezgo cakuti kuzamuŵa muwuso wa vilimika cikwi?
5 Cifukwa wuli Origen na Augustine ŵakasuska kuti kuzamuŵa muwuso wa Khristu wa vilimika cikwi? Origen wakaŵa msambiri wa Clement wa ku Alexandria, uyo wakatolera cigomezgo ca Ŵagiriki, cakuti munthu wali na mzimu uwo ukufwa yayi. Werner Jaeger, uyo wakasambizganga vyacisopa, wakati cifukwa cakuti Origen wakagomezganga comene visambizgo vya Plato, “mu visambizgo Vyacikhristu wakasazgamo cisambizgo ca Plato cakuti mzimu ukufwa yayi.” Ntheura, Origen wakasintha cigomezgo cakuti ŵanthu ŵazamusangwa mu Muwuso wa Vilimika Cikwi pa caru capasi, na kwamba kusambizga kuti cigomezgo ici cikwimira umoyo wamuyirayira wakucanya.
6 Apo wakaŵa na vilimika 33, Augustine wakamba kugomezga visambizgo vya Plato ivyo vikasambizgikanga na Plotinus mu vilimika vya m’ma 200 C.E. Wakati wanjira Cikhristu cautesi, wakakhalilira na maghanoghano gha ivyo wakasambira. The New Encyclopædia Britannica yikuti: “Wakamba kusazga visambizgo vya mu Tesitamenti Lasono na vya Plato.” The Catholic Encyclopedia yikuti: “Augustine wakalongosora kuti Muwuso wa Vilimika Cikwi uwo ukuyowoyeka mu cipaturo 20 ca Uvumbuzi nchidokoni waka.” Buku ili likutiso: “Cisambizgo ici . . . ŵakatoleraso ŵasambizgi ŵa vyacisopa ŵa ku vyaru vya Ŵangelezi, ndipo kufuma nyengo iyo pakaŵavya munthu uyo wakakhozgeranga cigomezgo cakuti pa caru capasi pazamuŵa muwuso wa vilimika cikwi.”
7. Nchivici cikacitiska kuti cigomezgo ca umoyo wamuyirayira pa caru capasi citimbanizgike, ndipo cikatimbanizgika wuli?
7 Cigomezgo cakuti ŵanthu ŵazamukhala pa caru capasi kwamuyirayira cikazizima cifukwa ca cisambizgo cakuti ŵanthu ŵali na mzimu uwo ukufwa yayi para ŵafwa, ico cikambira ku Babuloni. Cikhristu cautesi cikati camba kusambizga maghanoghano agha, ŵanthu awo ŵakasambizganga vyacisopa ŵakatimbanizga malemba gha mu Baibolo kuti ghapulikikwenge nga ni para ŵanthu wose ŵawemi ŵazamuluta kucanya. Cisambizgo ici cikuti caru capasi ni malo ghakulindilirapo waka, apo munthu wakuyezgeka usange ngwakwenelera umoyo wa kucanya. Ndimo vikaŵiraso na Ŵayuda ŵakwambilira, cigomezgo cawo ca kukhala kwamuyirayira pa caru capasi cikatimbanizgika. Mwapacokopacoko, Ŵayuda ŵakamba kutolera cigomezgo ca Ŵagiriki cakuti munthu wali na mzimu uwo ukufwa yayi. Ŵakaleka cigomezgo cawo cakuti ŵanthu ŵazamukhala pa caru capasi kwamuyirayira. Cisambizgo ici cikupambana comene na ivyo vili kulembeka mu Baibolo vyakukhwaskana na munthu. Munthu nchilengiwa cauzimu yayi. Yehova wakaphalira munthu wakwamba kuti: “Ndiwe fuvu.” (Gen. 3:19) Ntheura, caru capasi ndico nchikaya ca munthu kwamuyirayira, kuti kucanya yayi.—Ŵazgani Salmo 104:5; 115:16.
Unenesko Ukaŵala Pacoko Waka mu Mdima
8. Kasi ŵakusanda Baibolo ŵa mu vilimika vya m’ma 1600 ŵakayowoyaci za cigomezgo ca ŵanthu?
8 Nangauli visopa vinandi ivyo vikuti ni Vyacikhristu vikukana cigomezgo ca umoyo wamuyirayira pa caru capasi, kweni ni nyengo zose yayi apo Satana wafiska kutimbanizga unenesko. Vilimika vinandi ivyo vyajumpha, ŵanthu ŵacoko waka awo ŵakasambira Baibolo mwakupwelelera ŵakawona kuti unenesko ukaŵara pacoko waka, apo ŵakapulikiska vinthu vinyake vyakukhwaskana na umo Ciuta wazamucitira kuti ŵanthu ŵaŵeso ŵakufikapo. (Sal. 97:11; Mat. 7:13, 14; 13:37-39) Kuzakafika mu 1600 kung’anamurika ndiposo kusindikizgika kwa Baibolo kukawovwira kuti Malemba Ghakupatulika ghathandazgike. Mu 1651, munthu munyake wakusanda Baibolo wakalemba kuti kwizira mwa Adamu, ŵanthu “ŵali kutaya Paradiso na Umoyo Wamuyirayira pa Caru Capasi,” ntheura, kwizira mwa Khristu “ŵanthu ŵazamuŵa ŵamoyo pa caru capasi. Kuŵenge kuti ŵanthu ŵazamuŵa ŵamoyo kwamuyirayira yayi mphanyi kuyaniska uku kukaŵa kwambura kwenelera.” (Ŵazgani 1 Ŵakorinte 15:21, 22.) John Milton uyo wakaŵa mulembi mu vilimika vya 1608-1674 wakalemba buku lakuti Paradise Lost (Paradiso Wakutayika) na lakuti Paradise Regained (Paradiso Wakusangikaso). Mu Mabuku ghake wakalemba njombe iyo ŵanthu ŵakugomezgeka ŵazamupokera mu paradiso pa caru capasi. Nangauli wakafwilirapo comene pa kusanda Baibolo, kweni wakawona kuti ŵanthu ŵangapulikiska yayi unenesko mpaka pa nyengo ya kuŵapo kwa Khristu.
9, 10. (a) Kasi Isaac Newton wakalemba vici vyakukhwaskana na cigomezgo ca ŵanthu? (b) Cifukwa wuli Newton wakawona kuti nyengo ya kuŵapo kwa Khristu yikaŵa kutali?
9 Sir Isaac Newton, uyo wakaŵa nkhwantha ya samuzi mu vilimika vya 1642-1727, nayo wakasanda Baibolo. Wakapulikiska fundo yakuti ŵatuŵa ŵazamuluta kucanya na kukawusa lumoza na Khristu. (Uvu. 5:9, 10) Kweni pakuyowoya za ŵanthu awo ŵazamuwusika na Ufumu uwu wakati: “Ŵanthu ŵalutilirenge kukhala pa caru ca pasi pamasinda pa zuŵa la ceruzgo, ndipo ŵazamukhala kwamuyirayira, kuti kwa vilimika 1,000 pera yayi.”
10 Newton wakamanya kuti nyengo ya kuŵapo kwa Khristu yikaŵa kunthazi. Mulembi wa mdauko, Stephen Snobelen, wakati: “Cifukwa cinyake ico Newton wakawonera kuti Ufumu wa Ciuta ukaŵa kunthazi comene cikaŵa cakuti wakawona upusikizgi uwo ukaŵa mu visopa ivyo vikagomezganga kuti Ciuta mbanthu ŵatatu.” Makani ghawemi ghakaŵa ghakubisika nipera. Newton wakawona kuti pakaŵavya cisopa Cacikhristu ico cikapharazganga makani ghawemi. Iyo wakalemba kuti: “Maucimi agha, ucimi wa Daniyeli na ucimi wa Yohane [uwo wuli kulembeka mu buku la Uvumbuzi] tingaupulikiska yayi mpaka mu nyengo yaumaliro.” Newton wakalongosora kuti Daniyeli wakalemba kuti ŵanthu “‘ŵanandi ŵamkucimbira uku na uko, na mahara ghamkwandana.’ Makani ghawemi ghakwenera kupharazgika ku mitundu yose pambere suzgo yikuru yindayambe ndiposo umaliro wa caru. Mzinda wa awo ŵanyamura minthavi ya vinchindo kufuma ku mitundu yose, awo ŵazamupona pa suzgo yikuru, ungazakaŵa ukuru pekha para Makani Ghawemi ghapharazgika.”—Dan. 12:4; Mat. 24:14; Uvu. 7:9, 10.
11. Cifukwa wuli cigomezgo ca ŵanthu cikaŵa cakubisika ku ŵanandi mu nyengo ya Milton na Newton?
11 Mu nyengo ya Milton na Newton cikaŵa cakofya kuyowoya maghanoghano ghakupambana na visambizgo vya chalichi. Ntheura, vinthu vinandi ivyo ŵakasanda vyakukhwaskana na Baibolo ŵakavisindikizga yayi mpaka ŵakafwa. Cisambizgo cakukhwaskana na mzimu uwo ukufwa yayi cikasintha yayi apo vinthu vikasinthanga mu vilimika vya mu 1500 ndipo machalichi ghakalutilira kusambizga maghanoghano gha Augustine ghakuti Muwuso wa Vilimika Cikwi wuli kujumpha, kuti uzamuŵako munthazi yayi. Kasi mahara ghandana mu nyengo yaumaliro?
“Mahara Ghamkwandana”
12. Kasi mahara ghakeneranga kwandana pauli?
12 Daniyeli wakayowoya vinthu vyakukhozga comene ivyo vizamucitika mu “nyengo yaumaliro.” (Ŵazgani Daniel 12:3, 4, 9, 10.) Yesu wakati: “Pa nyengo iyo, ŵarunji ŵazamuŵala ngwee nga ni dazi.” (Mat. 13:43) Kasi mahara ghandana wuli mu nyengo yaumaliro? Wonani ivyo vikacitika pambere 1914 yindafike, cilimika ico nyengo zaumaliro zikambira.
13. Wati wasanda nkhani yakuti ŵanthu ŵazamuŵaso ŵakufikapo, kasi Charles Taze Russell wakalemba vici?
13 Kuumaliro wa vilimika vya m’ma 1800, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakasandanga Baibolo kuti ŵapulikiske “cilongolero ca mazgu ghaunenesko.” (2 Tim. 1:13) Yumoza wa ŵanthu aŵa wakaŵa Charles Taze Russell. Mu cilimika ca 1870, iyo na ŵanyake awo ŵakapenjanga unenesko ŵakamba kusambira Baibolo. Mu 1872 ŵakasanda nkhani yakuti ŵanthu ŵazamuŵaso ŵakufikapo nga umo wakaŵira Adamu pakudankha. Russell wakalemba kuti: “Tikatondeka kumanya makora mphambano pakati pa njombe iyo chalichi ilo likuyezgeka panyengo yasono lizamupokera ndiposo iyo ŵanthu wose ŵakugomezgeka ŵazamupokera.” Njombe ya gulu laumaliro ili njakuti “ŵazamuŵaso ŵakufikapo na kuzakasangwa na umoyo uwo wakakondwanga nawo mupapi wawo wakudanga, Adamu.” Russell wakazomerezga kuti ŵanji ŵakamovwira kuti wapulikiske Baibolo. Kasi mbanjani awo ŵakamovwira?
14. (a) Kasi Henry Dunn wakapulikiska wuli lemba la Milimo 3:21? (b) Kasi mbanjani awo Dunn wakati ŵazamukhala pa caru capasi kwamuyirayira?
14 Yumoza wa ŵanthu aŵa wakaŵa Henry Dunn. Wakalembapo nkhani yakukhwaskana na “kuwezgerapo vinthu vyose ivyo Ciuta wakayowoya kwizira mu mulomo wa zinchimi zake zituŵa zakale.” (Mil. 3:21) Dunn wakamanya kuti mu Muwuso wa Khristu wa Vilimika Cikwi, ŵanthu ŵazamuŵaso ŵakufikapo. Dunn wakasandaso fumbo ilo likazizika ŵanandi lakuti, kasi mbanjani awo ŵazamukhala pa caru capasi kwamuyirayira? Wakalongosora kuti ŵanthu mamiliyoni ghanandi ŵazamuwuskika, kusambizgika unenesko na kuŵa na mwaŵi wa kulongora cipulikano mwa Khristu.
15. Kasi George Storrs wakamanya vici vyakukhwaskana na ciwuka?
15 Mu 1870, George Storrs wakasanda Malemba na kusanga kuti ŵanthu ŵambura urunji ŵazamuwuskika na kupika mwaŵi wa kuzakaŵa ŵamoyo kwamuyirayira. Wakasandaso mu Malemba na kuwona kuti awo ŵatondeka kugwiliskira nchito mwaŵi uwu ‘ŵazamufwa, nanga ŵangaŵa kuti ŵali na vilimika makumi khumi (100).’ (Yes. 65:20) Storrs wakakhalanga ku Brooklyn mu msumba wa New York, ndipo wakalembanga magazini yakuti Bible Examiner.
16. Nchivici cikapangiska Ŵasambiri ŵa Baibolo kuŵa ŵakupambana na Cikhristu cautesi?
16 Russell wakasanda Malemba na kusanga kuti nyengo yakuthandazgira makani ghawemi yakwana. Ntheura mu 1879, wakamba kulemba magazini gha Zion’s Watch Tower and Herald of Christ’s Presence, agho sono ghakumanyikwa na zina lakuti, Gongwe la Mulinda Likupharazga Ufumu wa Yehova. Mbanthu ŵacoko comene awo ŵakapulikiska unenesko wakukhwaskana na cigomezgo ici kumasinda uku. Kweni panyengo iyi Ŵasambiri ŵa Baibolo mu vyaru vinandi ŵakapokeranga ndiposo kusambira Gongwe la Mulinda. Cigomezgo cakuti ŵanthu ŵacoko ndiwo ŵazamuluta kucanya, ndipo ŵanandi ndiwo ŵazamukhala kwamuyirayira pa caru capasi, cikapangiska Ŵasambiri ŵa Baibolo kuŵa ŵakupambana comene na Cikhristu cautesi.
17. Kasi unenesko ukandana wuli?
17 “Nyengo yaumaliro” iyo yikayowoyekerathu yikamba mu 1914. Kasi mahara ghakukhwaskana na cigomezgo ca ŵanthu ghakandana? (Dan. 12:4) Kuzakafika mu 1913, nkhani izo Russell wakayowoyanga zikalembekanga mu manyuzipepara 2,000, ndipo zikaŵazgikanga na ŵanthu 15,000,000. Kufika kuumaliro wa cilimika ca 1914, ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 9,000,000 ŵakaŵa kuti ŵawonelerapo seŵero la vithuzithuzi vyakulongora cilengiwa (Photo-Drama of Creation). Likaŵaso na vithuzithuzi ivyo vikalongosoranga vya Muwuso wa Khristu wa Vilimika Cikwi. Kufuma mu 1918 mpaka mu 1925, nkhani ya mutu wakuti, “Ŵanthu Ŵanandi Awo Mbamoyo Sono Wafwenge Yayi,” yikalongosora cigomezgo ca umoyo wamuyirayira pa caru capasi, yikayowoyeka na ŵateŵeti ŵa Yehova mu viyowoyero vyakujumpha 30. Kuzakafika mu 1934, Ŵakaboni ŵa Yehova ŵakamanya kuti awo ŵali na cigomezgo ca kuzakakhala pa caru capasi ŵakwenera kubapatizika. Ivyo ŵakamanya panyengo iyi vikaŵaciska kupharazga makani ghawemi gha Ufumu mwamwamphu. Mazuŵa ghano, mamiliyoni ghanandi gha ŵanthu ghakulumba Yehova cifukwa ca cigomezgo ca kuzakakhala pa caru capasi kwamuyirayira.
Kuzamuŵa “Wanangwa Waucindami”
18, 19. Kasi pa Yesaya 65:21-25 pakulongosora za umoyo wuli wa munthazi?
18 Nchimi Yesaya yikaphalirika na Ciuta kulemba umo umoyo wa ŵanthu ŵa Ciuta uzamuŵira pa caru capasi. (Ŵazgani Yesaya 65:21-25.) Makuni ghanyake agho ghakaŵako vilimika 2,700 ivyo vyajumpha, apo Yesaya wakalembanga mazgu agha ghacali mpaka lero. Mungajipulika wuli usange namwe mungaŵa ŵamoyo kwa vilimika vinandi nthena, kweniso ŵankhongono?
19 M’malo mwa kuŵa ŵamoyo kwa nyengo yifupi, muzamukhala kwamuyirayira na kuŵa na mwaŵi wa kuzenga, kupanda ndiposo kusambira vinthu. Ghanaghanirani waka za ŵabwezi awo muzamuŵa nawo. Ubwezi uwu uzamuŵako kwamuyirayira. Ndipo nadi, uzamuŵa “wanangwa waucindami” wa “ŵana ŵa Ciuta.”—Rom. 8:21.
[Mazgu ghamusi]
a Augustine wakati Muwuso wa Vilimika Cikwi wa Ufumu wa Ciuta ngwamunthazi yayi, kweni uli kwamba kale kuwusa kufuma apo chalichi la Ŵakhristu likambira.
Kasi Mungalongosora?
• Kasi cigomezgo ca umoyo wamuyirayira pa caru capasi cikabisika wuli?
• Kasi ŵanthu awo ŵakasandanga Baibolo ŵakabowozga vici mu vilimika vya m’ma 1600?
• Kasi cigomezgo ceneko ca ŵanthu cikamanyikwa wuli apo cilimika ca 1914 cikasendeleranga?
• Kasi mahara ghakukhwaskana na cigomezgo ca kuzakakhala pa caru capasi ghandana wuli?
[Vithuzithuzi pa peji 13]
John Milton (kumazere) na Isaac Newton (kumalyero) ŵakamanya za cigomezgo ca umoyo wamuyirayira pa caru capasi
[Vithuzithuzi pa peji 15]
Ŵasambiri ŵa Baibolo ŵakamanya kufuma mu Malemba kuti nyengo yakwana yakuti cigomezgo ceneko ca ŵanthu cimanyikwe pa caru cose
