EFIKU limwe ongula, Omupristeri Omukulunhu Aron okwa li a fikama poshivelo shetwali laJehova e kwete oshikwatelwa shomakala mu na oitwimino. Polwaamba laye opa li Korah novalumenhu 250 ovo navo keshe umwe e kwete oikwatelwa yomakala mu na oitwimino tave i twimine Jehova.

3. (a) Onghalo ilipi ya li ya holoka po pefimbo lomuyapostoli Paulus? (b) Oshihopaenenwa shilipi Jehova a tula po omido omafele da pita shokuungaunga novanashibofa?
3 Omido 1 500 lwaapo konima yaasho, onghalo ya faafana oya ka holoka po pefimbo lomuyapostoli Paulus.

Omambungu oo a li moikafa yeedi okwa li taa “nyono po eitavelo lavamwe.” (2 Tim. 2:16-18) Ashike oshinima osho Jehova ka li e shi tala ko shanafangwa, naPaulus okwa li e shii onghedi omo Jehova a li a ungaunga novanashibofa, Korah novayambididi vaye konima yomido omafele da pita.

Ombibeli oya longifa oshitya “ekanghameno” tashi ulike koinima i lili noku lili mwa kwatelwa Jerusalem sho venevene osho sha li oshilandopangelo shaIsrael shonale. (Eps. 87:1, 2, yelekanifa no-NW.) Onghandangala oyo Jesus a dana melalakano laJehova otai faafanifwa yo nekanghameno. (1 Kor. 3:11; 1 Pet. 2:6) Paulus okwa li e na shike momadiladilo eshi a shanga kombinga ‘yekanghameno la pama laKalunga’?
6 Paulus okwa tumbula “ekanghameno la pama laKalunga” movelishe omo a tofa eendjovo daMoses odo a li a popya shi na sha naKorah novayambididi vaye, odo di li muNumeri 16:5. Paulus okwa li ta popi shi na sha noiningwanima yopefimbo laMoses, ta kendabala okuladipika Timoteus noku mu dimbulukifa kutya Jehova oha dulu okudidilika mo ovanashibofa noha ningi po sha. Ngaashi ashike Korah, ovashunimonima navo kava li va dula okuya moshipala elalakano laJehova. Paulus ka li a yelifa moule kutya “ekanghameno la pama laKalunga” otali faneke shike.

Epsalme 33:11 ola ti: “Omhangela yOmwene otai kalelele, nomadiladilo omutima waye okomapupi nomapupi.” Omishangwa dimwe oda popya kutya ounamapangelo waJehova, ohole ina oudiinini, ouyuki noudiinini waye otai kala fiyo alushe. (Ex. 15:18; Eps. 106: 1, NW; 112:9; 117:2) Malakia 3:6 okwa ti: “Ame Omwene ihandi lunduluka.” Sha faafana, Jakob 1:17 okwa ti kutya puJehova kape “nomalundululo ile omapilauko ouyelele nomulaulu.”

10 Timoteus nosho yo ovadiinini vakwao vamwe otashi dulika va li va piyaanekwa neenghono keenghatu dovashunimonima ovo va li mokati kavo. Ovakriste vamwe otashi dulika va li tave lipula kutya omolwashike ovanhu va tya ngaho va efiwa va kale meongalo.

Paulelalela, Paulus okwa li ta ti kutya nonande mokati kavo omwa li Ovakriste ovanaipupulu, Jehova ota ka didilika mo ovo vaye, ngaashi ashike a li e shi ninga pefimbo laMoses.
12 Jehova iha lunduluka, nohatu dulu okukala twe mu lineekela. Oku tonde okuhenouyuki nomokweendela ko kwefimbo ota ka nyaneka pomutenya ovalongi vowii ovo inava hala okulivela ombedi. Molwaashi Timoteus okwa li umwe womwaavo ‘tava ifana edina lOmwene,’ okwa li yo a dimbulukifwa kutya oku na okulungama aha nwefwe mo kokuhenouyuki kwOvakriste ovanaipupulu. *

Osho inashi hala kutya oku tu wete ashike ngahenya ndele ke na nafye, ponhele yaasho, Jehova oku na ko nasha filufilu naava vaye. Ombibeli oya ti: “Omesho Omwene taa tale edu alishe, opo a kwafe neenghono ovo have liameke kuye nomutima aushe.” (2 Omaf. 16:9) Onghee hano, ohatu dulu okukala noushili filufilu kutya keshe osho hatu longele Jehova ‘nomutima wa yela’ kashi na fiku shi kale oshimha. — 1 Tim. 1:5; 1 Kor. 15:58.

Ngaashi naanaa omesho aye “taa tale edu alishe,” ota dulu okudidilika ovo itave “liameke kuye nomutima aushe.” Omayeletumbulo 3:32 oya ti kutya “omupukifi oye oixuna kOmwene.” Omupukifi ongaashi ovanhu ovo have liningifa va fa ovaduliki ofimbo tava nyono meholeko. Nonande ovanhu va tya ngaho otashi dulika va holeke nelungi ovanhu vakwao omanyono avo oule wokafimbo, Jehova omunaenghono adishe nomuyuki okwa ti kutya “Ou [ta] holeke omatauluko aye, ita ka mona elao.” — Omayel. 28:13; lesha 1 Timoteus 5:24; Ovaheberi 4:13.
15. Oshike tu na okuhenuka, nomolwashike?
15 Vahapu vomoshiwana shaJehova ove mu liyandjela nomutima aushe. Hanaanaa umwe meongalo ta ka tambula ko owina eenghedi doihelele dokulongela Kalunga. Ashike ngeenge osha li sha ningwa pefimbo laMoses nopefimbo lOvakriste vomefelemudo lotete, otashi dulu yo okuningwa kunena. (2 Tim. 3:1, 5) Ndele mbela otu na okukala twa limbililwa Ovakriste vakwetu hatu fekele kutya otashi dulika vehe fi ovadiinini kuJehova? Hasho nandenande. Osha puka okukala hatu fekele kutya ovamwatate novamwameme kave fi ovadiinini kuJehova. (Lesha Ovaroma 14:10-12; 1 Ovakorinto 13:7.) Okukala neamo lokulimbililwa oudiinini wavamwe meongalo otaku dulu oku tu yahameka pamhepo.
16. (a) Oshike osho keshe umwe womufye ta dulu okuninga opo a kelele oihelele iha mene omidi momutima waye? (b) Oilihongomwa ilipi hatu lihongo moshimhungu ‘ Liyelekeni nye vene nokulipulapula’?

Otashi dulika tu lipule kutya: ‘Mbela ohandi longele Jehova omolwohole yoku mu hola nomokudimina ounamapangelo waye? Ile ohandi yandje unene elitulemo komanangekonoupuna opalutu oo handi ka mona moParadisa?’ (Eh. 4:11) Osha yela kutya atusheni ohatu dulu okumona ouwa mokukonakona eenghatu detu vene nokukufa mo eamo keshe loihelele momitima detu.

Omupsalme okwa ti: “Omulumenhu omunelao oye ou Omwene ite mu valulile owii waye, nomomhepo yaye ngenge kamu na ekonda.” (Eps. 32:2) Osha yela kutya ovo hava kufa mo oihelele momitima davo ova hafa nove li melila loku ka kala va hafa fiyo alushe.
