Jwalakwe chachatendekasya jemanjaji kuti amtumichileje mwakamulana. Masiku agano gulu ja ŵanduji jikusakolanjidwa kuti “likuga lya ŵandu ŵangaŵalanjika.” (Chiw. 7:9, 10) M’guluji mwana achalume, achakongwe soni ŵanache. Atamose kuti jemanjaji ali ŵakulekangana mitundu, yiŵecheto soni kwakutyochela, nambope ali liŵasa limo lyapachilambo chosope lyakamulana soni lyamtendele. (Sal. 133:1; Yoh. 10:16) Ŵanduŵa akusakolanjidwasoni kuti ŵakulalichila ŵakulimbichila. Ndaŵi syosope, jemanjaji akusaŵa ŵakoseka kwalalichila ŵandu ya chembecheyo chakwete. (Mat. 28:19, 20; Chiw. 14:6, 7; 22:17) Naga wawojo ali mu guluji, ngatukukayichila kuti chembecheyo cha yindu yambone yayikwika msogolo chili chakusosekwa mnope kwa wawojo.

5-6. Ana kwakandaŵi kamnono yindu yachenjile wuli paumi wa Yobu?

(Yob. 1:1-5) Nambo lisiku limpepe yindu yosope yajwakwete Yobu yajonasiche. Chandanda chajonasiche chipanje chakwe. (Yob. 1:13-17) Kaneko ŵanache ŵakwe wosope ŵawile. Agambe ganichisya muŵapikanile kupweteka Yobu. Yikusaŵa yakupweteka mnope kwa achinangolo pajasiche mwanache jwawo.

⁶ Kaneko, Satana jwatendekasisye kuti Yobu alwale ulwele wakupweteka mnope. (Yob. 2:6-8; 7:5) Mkaniyitendekwe yeleyi, ŵandu ŵa mudela jakwe ŵamchimbichisyaga mnope Yobu. Mwamti ŵajawulaga kwa jwalakwe kukuŵenda lunda. (Yob. 31:18) Nambo yili yitendekwe yeleyi jemanjaji ŵalesile kumŵalanjila. Kupwatika pelepa, ŵachibale ŵakwe, achimjakwe ŵapamtima nambosoni ŵamasengo ŵakwe ŵalesile kutenda najo yindu.—Yob. 19:13, 14, 16.

⁷ Satana jwasakaga kuti Yobu akulupilileje kuti akusimana ni yakusawusya ligongo lyakuti Mlungu ngakumnonyela. Mwachisyasyo Satana jwatendekasisye kuti nyumba jiŵaliji ŵanache ŵa Yobu ŵakwana 10 jigwe ni chimbungo chamachili. Ŵanacheŵa ŵaliji mkulya yakulya yalumo kwineku ali mkukunguluka. (Yob. 1:18, 19) Satana jwatendekasisyesoni kuti moto wakutyochela kwinani ujonanje yilango ya Yobu soni ŵamasengo ŵaŵayisamalilaga. (Yob. 1:16) Ligongo lyakuti chimbungo soni motowu yatyochelaga kwinani, yamtendekasisye Yobu kulupilila kuti Mlungu ni jwatendekasisye kuti asimane ni yakusawusyayi. Yeleyi yamtendekasisye Yobu kuganisya kuti komboleka atesile yindu yakumtumbilikasya Yehofa. Atamose yaliji myoyo, Yobu jwakanile kumjimba magambo Mlungu. Jwalakwe jwayimanyi kuti kwa yaka yejinji Yehofa jwaŵele ali mkumtendela yindu yambone. Myoyo Yobu jwatandite kuyiwona kuti naga jwasangalalaga kupochela yambone, nikuti jwasosekwagasoni kuŵa jwakusachilila kupochela yakusakala. Jwalakwe jwasasile kuti, “Lina lyawo lichimbichikwe.” (Yob. 1:20, 21; 2:10) Chipanje cha Yobu chajonasiche, ŵanache ŵakwe ŵawile, soni jwalwasile ulwele wakupweteka mnope. Nambope jwalakwe jwapitilisye kuŵa jwakulupichika kwa Yehofa. Nambo Satana ngalechela papopo.

 8. Ana litala line lyapi lyaŵakamulichisye masengo Satana pakusaka kumlinga Yobu?

Achimjakweŵa ŵamsalile kuti akusimana ni yakuwusya ligongo lyakuti jwatesile yakusakala yejinji. (Yob. 22:5-9) Jemanjaji ŵamtendekasisye Yobu kuganisya kuti atamose kuti jwatesile yindu yambone yejinji, nambo Mlungu nganakola nayo masengo. (Yob. 4:18; 22:2, 3; 25:4) Achimjakweŵa ŵamtendekasisyesoni Yobu kukayichila yakuti Mlungu akusamnonyela, kumsamalila nambosoni kuti pangali chilichose champaka apate ligongo lyakumtumichila Mlungu. Yaŵaŵechete achimjakwe ŵa Yobuŵa yikamtendekasisye kuti alipikaneje kuŵa jwangali chembecheyo chilichose.

⁹ Aganichisye yayamtendechele Yobu. Jwalakwe jwatemi pa liwu kwineku ali mkupikana kupweteka mnope. (Yob. 2:8) Kaneko achimjakweŵa ŵapitilisye kumsalila kuti nganaŵa mundu jwambone soni pangali chilichose chambone chaŵatesile. Yobu jwasimene ni yakusawusya yejinji, soni jwaliji jwachanasa mnope ligongo lya chiwa cha ŵanache ŵakwe. Pandanda Yobu nganajanga chilichose. (Yob. 2:13–3:1) Naga achimjakwe ŵa Yobuŵa ŵaganisyaga kuti ungajanga wa Yobu wagopolelaga kuti jwalakwe chaleche kumtumichila Yehofa, nikuti ŵaganisyaga mwakulemwecheka. Kaneko, Yobu jwajimwisye mtwe nikwalola achimjakwe ŵala. Ni jwatite, “Tinjipitilisya kulupichika mpaka ndaŵi ja chiwa changu.” (Yob. 27:5) Ana chichi chichamkamuchisye Yobu kuŵa jwakulimba mtima atamose kuti jwasimanaga ni yakusawusya? Atamose pandaŵi jiŵatengwiche mnope, Yobu jwakulupililaga kuti Mlungu chachimasya yakusawusya yakwe. Jwamanyililagasoni kuti atamose ali awile, Yehofa chachimjimusya.—Yob. 14:13-15.

12. Ana kulupilila kuti ŵawe chachijimuka kwamkamuchisye chamtuli Yobu?

Mpela mwatwaŵechetele mungani jipite jila, Satana akusakamulichisya masengo kogopa chiwa pakusaka kututendekasya kuti tukaŵa ŵakulupichika kwa Yehofa. Satana jwasasile kuti Yobu mpaka atende chilichose atamose kuleka kumtumichila Yehofa pakusaka kulupusya umi wakwe. Apatu Satana jwalambusyaga. Tukuŵecheta yeleyi ligongo lyakuti atamose Yobu paŵayiwonaga kuti mpaka awe, jwalakwe nganaleka kuŵa jwakulupichika kwa Yehofa. Kulupilila kuti Yehofa akusatenda yambone soni kuti chachimasya yakusawusya yosope, kwamkamuchisye Yobu kuti akombole kupilila.

Alole maloŵe gakusisya gaŵaŵechete Satana. “Mundu [jwalijose ngaŵaga Yobupe] akukomboleka kupeleka yosope yakwete kuti jwalakwejo aŵe chijumi.” (Yob. 2:4, 5) Pelepatu, Satana jwagopolelaga kuti nganituŵa tukombwele kumnonyela Yehofa soni mpaka tutende yindu yakutindana ni malamusi gakwe pakusaka kulupusya umi wetu. Satana jwajonjechesyesoni kuti Mlungu ngakusatunonyela soni ngakusatenda chidwi ni chilichose chatukusatenda pakumtumichila.

Yakusawusya yaŵasimene nayo Yobu yamkamuchisye jwalakwe kumanyilila yakulepela yakwe soni kongolela. Mwachisyasyo, Yobu jwalijiganyisye kuti jwasosekwaga kuŵa jwakulinandiya mnope. (Yob. 42:3) M’wejisoni mpaka tulimanyilile mwatuŵelele patusimene ni yakusawusya. M’bale jwine lina lyakwe Nikolay, c jwaŵichidwe mundende atamose kuti pandaŵijo jwalwalaga mnope. Jwalakwe jwatite, “Ndaŵi jinaliji mundendeji jangamuchisye kumanyilila ndamo syangusosekwa kongolela.” Patugambile kumanyilila yakulepela yetu, yikusaŵa yangasawusya kuti tuchenje.

15. Ana tukusosekwa kwapikanila ŵani? Ligongo chichi tukusosekwa kutenda yeleyi?

¹⁵ Tukusosekwa kumpikanilaga Yehofa ngaŵaga achimmagongo ŵetu. Yobu jwapikanilaga mwakusamala Yehofa pajwaŵechetaga kwa jwalakwe. Mlungu jwamkamuchisye Yobu mwakuŵecheta kuti, ‘Ana mkugawona machili gangu gakupanganya? Ngumanyilila chilichose chachikumtendechela. Ana mkuganisya kuti nganimba ngombwele kumsamalila?’ Yobu jwajanjile mwakulinandiya soni pakuyamichila yindu yambone mnope yaŵamtendele Yehofa, jwasasile kuti, “Nagambaga kupikana ya ŵalakwe ni mapikanilo ganguga, nambo sambano naweni ni meso ganguga.” (Yob. 42:5) Yobu pajwaŵechetaga maloŵega jwaliji ali pa liwu pala, chilu chakwe chili chikwete yilonda soni ŵanache ŵakwe ali awile. Atamose kuti yaliji myoyo, Yehofa ŵamsimichisye Yobu kuti akusamnonyela soni kuti akusasangalala najo.—Yob. 42:7, 8.

16. Mwakamulana ni Yesaya 49:15, 16, ana tukusosekwa kumbuchilaga chichi patusimene ni yakusawusya?

¹⁶ Masiku aganosoni ŵandu mpaka atuŵechetele yachipongwe soni kututendela yindu yakulosya kuti tuli ŵangali mate. Chakulinga chawo mpaka chiŵe konanga mbili ja m’weji kapena ja gulu jetu. Kupwatika pelepa jemanjaji mpaka ‘atulambuchisyeje yakusakala yamitundumitundu.’ (Mat. 5:11) Ngani ja Yobu, jitukamuchisye kumanyilila kuti Yehofa akusakulupilila kuti tuchiŵape ŵakulupichika kwa jwalakwe atamose tuli tusimene ni yakusawusya. Yehofa akusatunonyela mnope, soni ngasiŵaleka ŵandu ŵakusamkulupilila jwalakwe. (Aŵalanje Yesaya 49:15, 16.) Tukapikanilaga kapena kuganichisya mnope maloŵe gakunyosya gakusaŵecheta achimmagongo ŵa Mlungu. M’bale James jwakusatyochela ku Turkey jwelesoni liŵasa lyakwe lyasimene ni yakusawusya jwatite, “Twayikopochele kuti kupikanila yindu yaunami yakwamba ŵakutumichila ŵa Mlungu mpaka kututengusye. Myoyo twaganichisyaga mnope ya chembecheyo chetu chakwamba ya Uchimwene wa Mlungu, soni twalipelekaga mnope pakumtumichila Yehofa. Yeleyi yatukamuchisye mnope kuti tusangalaleje.” Mwakulandana ni Yobu, m’wejisoni tukusampikanila Yehofa. Yindu yaunami yakusaŵecheta achimmagongo ŵetu nganiyiŵa yijonasile chembecheyo chetu.

17. Ana alijiganyisye chichi pa chisyasyo cha ŵandu ŵakulupichika ŵakusiŵakolanga m’buku ja Ahebeli chaputala 11?

¹⁷ Yobu ali jumo jwa ŵakutumichila ŵa Yehofa ŵaŵapitilisye kuŵa ŵakulimba mtima atamose kuti ŵasimene ni yakusawusya yekulungwa mnope. M’chikalata chakwe chakwawula kwa Ahebeli, ndumetume Paulo jwasasile ya ŵandu ŵane ŵajinji ŵaŵakolasile kuti, “mboni syejinji.” (Aheb. 12:1) Atamose kuti jemanjaji ŵasimene ni yakusawusya yekulungwakulungwa, nambope kwa umi wawo wosope ŵalosisye kuti ŵaliji ŵakulupichika kwa Yehofa. (Aheb. 11:36-40) Ana kupilila soni kulimbichila kwawo kwagambile kwawula pachabe? Iyayi. Atamose kuti jemanjaji paŵaliji chijumi nganakuwona kukwanilichikwa kwa yindu yosope yaŵasasile Mlungu kuti chachitenda, nambope ŵapitilisye kumjembecheya Yehofa.

18. Ana wawojo ali ŵakusimichisya kutenda chichi? (Ahebeli 11:6)
