(Eps. 40:8; 119:97) Pefimbo opo tuu opo, ohatu lihongo nghee hatu dulu okuhenuka oinima oyo tai dulu oku tu imba tu ninge exumokomesho lopamhepo. — Tit. 2:11, 12.
10. Ovanyasha otava dulu okuninga shike opo va kale va pama pamhepo?
10 Ngeenge ou li omunyasha, mbela owe litulila po ngoo omalalakano opamhepo? Omumwatate umwe oo ha longo kObetel, ngeenge e li poyoongalele yoshikandjo, okwe shi ninga onghedindjikilile yaye yokupopya naavo tava ka ninginifwa fimbo oshoongalele inashi hovela. Vahapu vomuvo ovanyasha. Omumwatate ohe va pula kutya ove litulila po omalalakano opamhepo elipi.

Ashike ovanyasha vamwe ohava kala ashike ve li momhepo. Osho otashi dulika shi kale ngaho ngeenge inava tokola natango momitima davo kutya nave litulile po omalalakano opamhepo elipi. U li omunyasha, lipula kutya, ‘Mbela ohandi kufa ashike ombinga momalipyakidilo opamhepo molwaashi ovadali vange osho va teelela ndi ninge? Mbela ohandi ehene ngoo popepi elela naKalunga mokukulika ekwatafano lange naye?’ Omayele e na sha nokulitulila po omalalakano opamhepo itaa longo ashike kovanyasha. Okukala tu na omalalakano a tya ngaho otaku ke tu kwafela atushe tu li ovapiya vaJehova tu kale twa pama pamhepo. — Omuud. 12:1, 13.

11 Ngeenge otwa didilike kutya openi twa pumbwa okuxwepopala, otu na okukatuka eenghatu odo tadi tu kwafele tu xume komesho. Osha fimanenena okukala twa pyokoka pamhepo, molwaashi otashi ka tya omwenyo ile efyo. (Rom. 8:6-8) Ndele okukala twa pyokoka pamhepo itashi ti otwa wanenena. Omhepo yaJehova otai tu kwafele tu ninge exumokomesho olo la pumbiwa. Natango otwa pumbwa okuninga eenghendabala da mana mo. John Barr, oo a li oshilyo shOlutuwiliki, okwa li a popya kombinga yaLukas 13:24 omido da ya, a ti kutya, “Ovanhu vahapu ova li va nyengwa molwaashi kava li va pamenena pamhepo.” Otwa pumbwa okukala ngaashi Jakob, oo a li inaa sholola eshi a li ta kondjo nomweengeli fiyo osheshi a nangekwa noupuna.

Otwa pumbwa oku i konakona moule opo tu litunge pamhepo.

12 Eshi hatu kulike oupamhepo wetu, omhepo iyapuki otai ke tu pa eenghono tu lundulule omadiladilo etu. Kekwafo lomhepo yaJehova, ohatu ka dula okukala hatu diladila moule ngaashi Kristus.

Twikila okupula omhepo iyapuki, na Jehova ote ke ku kwafela u lundulule omadiladilo oye, opo a kale taa yandje elitulemo koinima oyo ya yuka.

(Mat. 16:22, 23; Luk. 22:34, 54-62; Gal. 2:11-14) Ashike ka li a sholola. Kekwafo laJehova, Petrus okwa li a hovela okudiladila ngaashi Kristus. Nafye ohatu dulu okuninga sha faafana.

Eshi hatu ‘lalakanene neenghono adishe’ okukulika omaukwatya ngaashi elipangelo, elididimiko nosho yo ohole yokuhola ovamwatate, ohatu ka kwafelwa tu twikile okuninga exumokomesho lopamhepo. Omolwashike ito lipula efiku keshe kutya, ‘Oshike handi dulu okulongela kusho nena opo ndi ninge exumokomesho lopamhepo?’
