Ahabu ni ŵamkwakwe soni ŵanace ŵakwe ŵasosekwaga kuwulajidwa mpela muŵatendele Naboti ni ŵanace ŵakwe.—1 Maf. 21:17-25.
7 Ŵamwiŵasa lya Naboti nambosoni acimjakwe yakwayiye mnope yindu yangali cilungamo yaŵatesile Mwenye Ahabu. Nambope Yehofa ŵayiweni yindu yangali cilungamoyi mwamti ŵatesilepo kandu mwacitema.

Yehofa ŵamsalile Eliya kuti, “Ligongo lyakuti jwalakwe alinandiye pameso pangu, ngasiyikasya likungu m’masiku gakwe. Nambo cinjilikasya panyumba jakwe m’masiku ga mwanace jwakwe.” (1 Maf. 21:27-29; 2 Maf. 10:10, 11, 17) Yehofa jwali “jwakuwungunya mitima,” ŵamtendele canasa Ahabu.—Miy. 17:3.

Nambope kuŵa ŵakulinandiya kukakamucisye kuti ajendelecele kumlambila Yehofa mwakulupicika, ali akwete cikulupi cakuti Mlungu jwawo ngaŵa mkutenda yangalungama. (Aŵalanje Deuteronomo 32:3, 4.) Naboti, ŵanace ŵakwe, soni maŵasa gawo cacitendeledwa cilungamo cisyesyene pandaŵi jele Yehofa cacajimusya ŵandu ŵakulungama ku ŵawe. (Yobu 14:14, 15; Yoh. 5:28, 29) Konjecesya pelepa, mundu jwakulinandiya akusakumbucila kuti, “Mlungu jwakuwona msyene caciyilamula yitendo yosope, ni yakusisika yosope kuti ayiwone kuti cinga yili yambone kapena iyayi.” (Mlal. 12:14) Yehofa pakulamula, akusaganicisya yindu yayili yangawoneka kwetuwe. M’yoyo kuŵa ŵakulinandiya mpaka kwacenjele ŵandu ŵamtima wambone kuti usimu wawo ukasokonecela.

Nambi wuli naga ŵamkwawo, mwanace jwawo, kapena mjawo jwapamtima amtyosisye mumpingo ni wawojo ngakukamulana ni yeleyi? Ana mpaka atende wuli naga amanyilile kuti mundu jwine jwatesile cakulemwa cekulungwa atendeledwe canasa? Yakutendekwa mpela yeleyi mpaka yilinje kulupicika kwawo kwa Yehofa soni ku likuga lyakwe. Ana kulinandiya mpaka kwacenjele camtuli naga asimene ni yakulinga cikulupi yeleyi? Kwende tutagulilane matala gaŵili.

Atamose tuŵe kuti tukumanyilila yejinji pa ngani jine jakwe, nambo Yehofa jika ni jwakusalola yosope yayili mumtima.

Caŵili, kulinandiya kucitukamucisya kupikanila soni kwembeceya Yehofa kuti ajongolele yangali cilungamo yayitendekweyo. Baibulo jikusasala kuti, “ŵandu wosope ŵakogopa Mlungu yindu yicajendela cenene . . . , nambo jwakutenda yakusakala yindu ngasiyimjendela cenene, soni ngasalewuya masiku gakwe.” (Mlal. 8:12, 13) Kusala yisyene, kuŵa ŵakulinandiya kucitukamucisya m’weji soni ŵandu ŵane.—Aŵalanje 1 Petulo 5:5.
NGANI JAKWAYANA NI CINYENGO

Welewutu waliji upile wapajika, ligongo Koneliyo nganaŵa M’yuda soni jwangawumbala.

14 Mu 49 C.E., ŵandumetume soni acakulungwa ku Yelusalemu ŵasimene ni kutagulilana naga Aklistu ŵanganaŵa Ayuda ŵasosekwaga kuwumbala. Pamsonganowu, Petulo mwakulimba mtima ŵakumbwisye abalewo kuti yaka yamunyuma, ŵandu ŵangawumbala ŵapocele mtuka wa msimu weswela. Umboni waŵapelece Petulo wakamucisye likuga lyakulongolela lya m’yaka 100 yandanda kusagula cenene panganiji. (Mase. 15:6-11, 13, 14, 28, 29) Mwangakayicila, Aklistu ŵaciyuda soni ŵane ŵanganaŵa Ayuda ŵasangalele mnope pakulola muŵatendele Petulo pakusala maumboni mwakulimba mtima. Yaliji yangasawusya kuti Aklistu ŵeleŵa amkulupilileje mundu jwamkomangale mwausimuju!—Ahe. 13:7.

16 Aŵalanje Agalatia 2:11-14. Petulo ŵagwilile m’citega cakogopa ŵandu. (Miy. 29:25) Atamose kuti Petulo ŵamanyililaga nganisyo sya Yehofa pangani jakwayana ni kuwumbala, nambo ŵajogopaga kuti Aklistu ŵaciyuda ŵaŵayikaga kutyocela ku mpingo wa ku Yelusalemu cam’ganicisye yakulemweceka pacam’wone ali mkutenda yindu ni Aklistu ŵangawumbalawo.

(Mase. 15:12; Aga. 2:13) Ana Aklistu ŵanganaŵa Ayuda nakatesile wuli ni yangali cilungamo yaŵatendele Petulo? Ana nakatengwice ni yayatendekweyi? Ana Petulo nakatyosyegwe pa maundumetume gaŵakwete ligongo lya cakulemwa cakweci?

Cakutesya lung’wanu cili cakuti, mu cikalata cakwe caŵili, Petulo ŵamkolasile Paulo kuti “m’bale jwetu jwakunonyelwa.” (2 Pet. 3:15) Atamose kuti cakulemwa caŵatesile Petulo kwa Aklistu ŵanganaŵa Ayuda caliji cakupweteka mnope, nambope Yesu jwali mtwe wa mpingo ŵajendelecele kumkamulicisya masengo. (Aef. 1:22) Abale ni alongo ŵa mumpingowo ŵakwete upile wakujigalila cisyasyo ca Yesu soni Atati ŵakwe mwakumkululucila Petulo.
