Aakriste omamiliyona mboka ye na etegameno lyoku ka kala nomwenyo sigo aluhe kombanda yevi, otayu uvitha pamwe nayo. Aakriste aagwayekwa noonzi dhilwe, ohaya longo ya hangana miilonga yokuuvitha.

Egongalo lyetu otali ka kala lya hangana, nohole yetu yokuholathana otayi ka kola.

10. Ongiini aayakuligongalo taya vulu okukwathela egongalo li kale lya hangana? (Tala kethano lyopetameko.)

¹⁰ Aayakuligongalo nayo otaya vulu okukwathela egongalo li kale lya hangana. Ohaya longo nuudhiginini ya kwathele aakuluntugongalo nohatu pandula ashihe shoka haya ningi.

Uuna aayakuligongalo taya longo nuudhiginini, otashi ya kwathele ya kale ya gwana okuninga aakuluntugongalo konahiya. (1 Timoteus 3:1, 10) Aakuluntugongalo yamwe mboka aagundjuka oya ninga omahumokomeho ogendji. Yamwe aatonatelishikandjo nohaya kwathele aamwatate naamwameme momagongalo ogendji. Ohatu kala twa pandula aagundjuka mboka tayi iyamba nehalo ewanawa ya kwathele egongalo. — Lesha Episalomi 110:3; Omuuvithi 12:1.

12, 13. Oshike tashi vulu okukwathela aantu ayehe megumbo ya kale haya longele kumwe?

14. Ngele kuume koye kopandjokana iha longele Jehova, oshike to vulu okuninga, opo wu koleke ondjokana yeni?

¹⁴ Ombiimbeli oya popya sha yela kutya katu na okuya mondjokana naantu mboka ihaaya longele Jehova.

Yamwe oyi ilongo oshili ye li mondjokana, ihe ookuume kawo kopandjokana inaya ninga Oonzapo. Yo yalwe otashi vulika ya ya mondjokana nomwiitaali omukwawo, ihe konima gumwe gwomuyo okwe ke etha po okulongela Jehova. Moonkalo ndhoka, Aakriste oya pumbwa okuninga ngaashi taya vulu ya koleke oondjokana dhawo, mokukala haya vulika komayele ngoka ge li mOmbiimbeli. Ihashi kala aluhe oshipu.

Omutekulu gwe gwomimvo hamano, okwa kala aluhe he mu thigile po oshipundi. Uuna David inee ya ko kokugongala, omutekulu okwa li he mu lombwele ta ti: “Inandi ku mona nando kokugongala nena Kuku.” Konima yomimvo 25, David okwa galukile kuJehova. Ngashingeyi ye nomukadhi oya nyanyukwa sho taya longele Jehova pamwe.

15. Aaihokani aakokele otaya vulu ngiini okukwathela aaihokani aagundjuka?

Otaya ka mona kutya nonando omu kale mwa hokana omimvo odhindji, omwa pumbwa okukala hamu ulukilathana ohole nomwa hangana. — Titus 2:3-7.

¹⁶ Uuna Aaisraeli taya ka dhana iituthi yawo muJerusalem, oya li haya longele kumwe. Oya li haya longekidha iinima ayihe mbyoka ya pumbwa molweendo lwawo. Oya kala haye ende pamwe nohaya kwathelathana. Oya li wo haya hambelele nokulongela Jehova pamwe kotempeli. (Lukas 2:41-44) Sho tatu ilongekidhile onkalamwenyo muuyuni uupe ngashingeyi, otwa pumbwa okukala twa hangana. Otu na wo okukala hatu ningi ngaashi tatu vulu tu kale hatu longele kumwe.
