Jehova oye lyelye?
Enyamukulo lopaMbiibeli
Jehova oye Kalunga kashili kOmbiibeli, Omushiti woinima aishe. (Ehololo 4:11) Abraham nosho yo Moses ova li have mu longele, ngaashi ashike Jesus. (Genesis 24:27; Exodus 15:1, 2; Johannes 20:17) Oku li Kalunga, ke fi ashike kovanhu vonhumba, ndele ‘okombada yedu alishe.’ — Epsalme 47:2.
Jehova edina laKalunga le likalekelwa ngaashi la tumbulwa mOmbiibeli. (Exodus 3:15; Epsalme 83:1) Ola dja koshityalonga shOshiheberi osho tashi ti “okuningifa,” novahongwanhu vahapu ova popya kutya edina olo otali ti, “Oha ningifa.” Efatululo olo otali wapalele onghandangala yaJehova oyo ta dana e li Omushiti nOmuwanifi welalakano laye. (Jesaja 55:10, 11) Ombiibeli otai tu kwafele tu shiive Omunhu oo e lilwe po kedina Jehova, unene tuu oukwatya waye wa tongomana wohole. — Exodus 34:5-7; Lukas 6:35; 1 Johannes 4:8.

Omolwashike edina laKalunga lihe shiivike kutya ola li hali tumbulwa ngahelipi mOshiheberi shonale?
Oshiheberi shonale osha li hashi shangwa shihe na oulitumbuli, nosha li hashi longifa ashike ouwedwa. Omuleshi wOshiheberi okwa li ta dulu okuweda po noupu oulitumbuli tava wapalele. Ashike, konima eshi Omishangwa dOshiheberi (“Etestamenti Likulu”) la pwa okushangwa, Ovajuda vamwe ova li va tambula ko ehongo loipupulu olo kutya osha puka okutumbula edina laKalunga lopaumwene. Ngeenge tava lesha mokule omushangwa oo u na edina laKalunga, ohave li pingene po nomautumbulilo ngaashi “Omwene” ile “Kalunga.” Momukokomoko womafelemido, ehongo olo loipupulu ola tandavela, nomokweendela ko kwefimbo onghedi omo edina la li hali tumbulwa oya ka kana. a

Omushangwatonywa wopEfuta La Fya ou na oshitukulwa shembo laLeviticus shOshiheberi osho sha toloka edina Iao. Ovashangi vOshigreka shopehovelo ova li yo have li tumbula Iae, Iabe, nosho yo Iaoue, ashike kape na oo ta dulu okukoleka kutya osho la li hali tumbulwa ngaho mOshiheberi shonale. b
