Tupona muciindi bantu banji nobatabalemeki bantu beendelezya. Pele, Bbaibbele lyaamba kuti tweelede kubalemeka aabo batweendelezya. (Tusimpi 24:21) Mubwini, ikubalemeka kulayandika ikuti katuyanda kuzumanana kukkala muluyando lwa Leza. Aboobo, kuli mibuzyo njotweelede kulibuzya. Nkaambo nzi zimwi ziindi ncocikatazya kapati kulemeka bweendelezi? Nkaambo nzi Jehova ncayanda kuti katubulemeka alimwi ncinzi cikonzya kutugwasya kucita boobo? Camamanino, muunzila nzi motukonzya kutondezya kuti tulabulemeka bweendelezi?

3, 4. Ino cibi akutalondoka zyakatalika buti, alimwi nkaambo nzi kutalondoka kwesu ncokupa kuti kacitukatazya kulemeka bweendelezi?

³ Atulange-lange mubufwaafwi twaambo tobilo tupa kuti zimwi ziindi kacikatazya kubalemeka aabo beendelezya. Kaambo  kakusaanguna nkakuti swebo tatulondokede; kabili nkakuti abalo bantu batweendelezya tabalondokede. Cibi akutalondoka zyakatalika kaindi mumuunda wa Edeni ciindi Adamu a Eva nobakazangila bweendelezi bwa Leza. Aboobo, cibi cakatalika akaambo kabuzangi. Kuzwa ciindi eeco kusikila sunu, tujisi cilengwa cakuyanda kuzanga.—Matalikilo 2:15-17; 3:1-7; Intembauzyo 51:5; Baroma 5:12.

⁴ Akaambo kakuti twakakona cibi, ncuuba-uba kapati kulindiswe ikuba abube bwakulisumpula akulitukumuna, pele ikulicesya mbube butajaniki-janiki oobo mbotweelede kusoleka canguzu kuba ambubo akubutondezya lyoonse. Nokuba kuti twali kusyomeka kwamyaka minji mumulimo wa Leza, tulakonzya kutalika kulisumpula akuba ankazi. Mucikozyanyo, amuyeeye Kora iwakakakatila akusyomeka kubantu ba Jehova mumapenzi manji. Nokuba boobo, akaambo kakuti wakali kuyanda kweendelezya, wakamuzangila Musa imwaalumi mubombe moyo kwiinda bantu boonse ibakali kupona aciindi eeco. (Myeelwe 12:3; 16:1-3) Alimwi amuyeeye Mwami Uziya, walo akaambo kakulisumpula iwakanjila mutempele lya Jehova akutalika kucita mulimo uusetekene iwakeelede kucitwa buyo abapaizi. (2 Makani 26:16-21) Baalumi aaba bakasubulwa kapati akaambo kabuzangi bwabo. Pele, izikozyanyo zyabo zibi nziyeekezyo zibotu kulindiswe toonse. Tweelede kukulwana kulisumpula kwalo kupa kuti kacitukatazya kulemeka bweendelezi.

5. Muunzila nzi bantu batalondokede mobatazibelesyi kabotu nguzu nzyobajisi?

⁵ Kunze lyaboobo, beendelezi batalondokede bacita zintu zinji izipa kuti bantu kabatabalemeki. Beendelezi bamwi mbabi myoyo, mbaasikudyaaminina naa mbaasilunya. Masimpe, kuzwa kaindi beendelezi banji tabazibelesyi kabotu nguzu nzyobajisi. (Amubale Mukambausi 8:9.) Mucikozyanyo, Saulo wakali muntu mubotu, uulicesya ciindi Jehova naakamusala kuba mwami. Nokuba boobo, wakatalika kulisumpula akuba amunyono; mpoonya wakapenzya muntu uusyomeka Davida. (1 Samuele 9:20, 21; 10:20-22; 18:7-11) Kumbele Davida wakazyikuba umwi wabami babotu kapati mu Israyeli, pele tanaakazibelesya kabotu nguzu zyakwe naakabweza mukamuntu, nkokuti  mukaintu wa Uriya imu Hiti akupa kuti mwaalumi ooyu uutakwe mulandu ajaigwe munkondo. (2 Samuele 11:1-17) Ncobeni, kutalondoka kupa kuti bantu kabatazibelesyi kabotu nguzu nzyobajisi. Alimwi ikuti aabo beendelezya kabatamulemeki Jehova, ma! balainda kubija. Naakamana kwaamba basololi bamwi bacikombelo ca Katolika mbobakali kupa kuti bantu kabapenzyegwa, syaazibwene mutwaambo twacisi waku Britain wakalemba kuti: “Ikuba anguzu zili mbozibede kulakonzya kumunyonganya muntu, alimwi ikuba anguzu zinji kapati kulakonzya kumunyonganya kapati muntu.” Katwaayeeyede makani aaya, atulange-lange mubuzyo wakuti: Nkaambo nzi ncotweelede kubulemeka bweendelezi?

6, 7. (a) Ino kuyanda Jehova kutupa kucita nzi, alimwi nkaambo nzi? (b) Ndilili notuyandika kulibombya, alimwi mbuti mbotukonzya kucita oobo?

⁶ Kaambo kapati katupa kuti katubulemeka bweendelezi, nduyando—kuyanda Jehova, bantuma alimwi andiswe tobeni. Akaambo kakuti tulamuyanda kapati Jehova, tuyanda kumukkomanisya. (Amubale Tusimpi 27:11; Marko 12:29, 30.) Tulizyi kuti bweendelezi bwakwe, nguzu nzyajisi zyakweendelezya kujulu aanyika, bwakakazyigwa kuzwa ciindi buzangi nobwakatalika mu Edeni alimwi ibantu banji bali kulubazu lwa Saatani alimwi babukaka bweendelezi bwa Jehova. Tulikkomene kuba kulubazu lwa Jehova mumakani aaya. Notubala majwi mabotu kapati aali ku Ciyubunuzyo 4:11 tulakulwaizyigwa. Kulindiswe cilisalede kuti Jehova ngo Mweendelezi weelede kweendelezya bubumbo boonse. Tulilibambilide kusumpula bweendelezi bwa Jehova akuzumina kweendelezyegwa anguwe buzuba abuzuba, mubuumi bwesu boonse.

⁷ Tulakonzya kutondezya bulemu buli boobu kwiinda mukumvwida akulibombya. Tulamumvwida Jehova cakutawayawaya akaambo kakuti tulamuyanda. Nokuba boobo, kunooli ziindi zimwi nociyakutuyumina kapati kumvwida. Muziindi zili boobu, mbuli mwana musankwa waambwa kumatalikilo, tuyakuyandika  kwiiya kulibombya. Tulayeeya kuti Jesu wakalibombya kwiinda mukucita ncibakali kuyanda Bausyi nokuba kuti ikucita boobo cakali kulibonya kuti nciyumu kapati. Wakaambila Bausyi kuti: “Kutabi kuyanda kwangu, pele akucitwe kuyanda kwako.”—Luka 22:42.

8. (a) Ino kulibombya kubweendelezi bwa Jehova mazuba aano kanji-kanji kubikkilizya nzi, alimwi ncinzi citondezya mbwalimvwa Jehova mumakani aaya? (b) Ncinzi cikonzya kutugwasya kuswiilila lulayo akuzumina kulaigwa? (Amubone kabbokesi kakuti “ Koswiilila Lulayo Akuzumina Kulaigwa.”)

⁸ Masimpe, Jehova mazuba aano taambauli cacigaminina kuli umwi aumwi wesu; ubelesya Jwi lyakwe alimwi abantu bamwiiminina anyika. Aboobo, ziindi zinji tulatondezya kuti tulalibombya kubweendelezi bwa Jehova kwiinda mukulemeka bantu mbaabikka naa mbaazumizya kuti bazumanane kutweendelezya. Ikuti twabazangila bantu aabo—mucikozyanyo, kwiinda mukukaka lulayo lwamu Magwalo ndobatupa—tulakonzya kumunyemya Leza. Bana Israyeli nibakamutongooka akumuzangila Musa, Jehova wakabona kuti bakali kutongooka alimwi akuzangila nguwe.—Myeelwe 14:26, 27.

9. Nkaambo nzi kubayanda bantuma ncokukonzya kutupa kulemeka bweendelezi? Amupe cikozyanyo.

⁹ Alimwi tulabulemeka bweendelezi akaambo kakuti tulabayanda bantuma. Nkaambo nzi ncocili boobo? Amweezyeezye kuti muli basikalumamba munkamu yabasikalumamba imwi. Ikutegwa nkamu yanu izwidilile akufwutuka, sikalumamba umwi aumwi weelede kumvwida akulemeka mupati umwi aumwi weendelezya kweelana ambobatobelana munguzu zyakweendelezya. Ikuti naa mwazanga akutatobela bubambe oobo, mulakonzya kubikka basikalumambanyoko boonse muntenda. Masimpe, mazuba aano basikalumamba bapa kuti kube manyongwe aataambiki munyika. Nokuba boobo, Jehova ujisi basikalumamba ibacita buyo zintu zibotu. Bbaibbele ziindi zinji lyaamba Leza kuti “Jehova wamakamu.” (1 Samuele 1:3) Ngo Mweendelezi mupati wazilenge zinji zyamuuya izilaanguzu. Zimwi ziindi, Jehova ukozyanisya babelesi bakwe baanyika kunkamu yabasikalumamba. (Intembauzyo 68:11; Ezekieli 37:1-10) Ikuti twabazangila bantu Jehova mbabikkide kuti  kabatweendelezya, sena ooku inga takuli kubikka basikalumambama bakumuuya muntenda? Ikuti Munakristo wazangila baalu, bamwi mumbungano balakonzya kupenga abalo. (1 Bakorinto 12:14, 25, 26) Ikuti mwana wazanga, mukwasyi woonse ulakonzya kupenga. Aboobo, tulakonzya kutondezya kuti tulabayanda bantuma kwiinda mukuba abulemu alimwi amuuya wakubelekela antoomwe.

10, 11. Mbuti ikuyanda kuti tugwasyigwe tobeni mbokutukulwaizya kumvwida bweendelezi?

¹⁰ Alimwi tulabulemeka bweendelezi akaambo kakuti cilatugwasya kucita boobo. Jehova natwaambila kuti katulemeka bweendelezi, kanji-kanji ulatwaambila abubotu mbotukonzya kujana ikuti twacita oobo. Mucikozyanyo, waambila bana kuti kabamvwida bazyali babo kutegwa kabapona kabotu akoongola. (Deuteronomo 5:16; Baefeso 6:2, 3) Utwaambila kuti katubalemeka baalu bamumbungano nkaambo ikuti katutabalemeki, cilongwe cesu a Jehova inga camana. (Bahebrayo 13:7, 17) Alimwi utwaambila kuti katubamvwida baleli bamunyika kutegwa katupona kabotu.—Baroma 13:4.

 ¹¹ Sena tamuzumini kuti ikuzyiba kaambo Jehova ncayandila kuti katubamvwida aabo batweendelezya kutugwasya kulemeka bweendelezi? Aboobo, atulange-lange mbotukonzya kulemeka bweendelezi mumbazu zipati zyotatwe.

12. Mukuli nzi Jehova ngwaapa mulumi naa usyi bana mumukwasyi, alimwi mbuti mbwakonzya kuuzuzikizya?

¹² Jehova lwakwe nguwakatalisya mukwasyi. Mbwaanga lyoonse ngu Leza uutali wamanyongwe, wakabikka bubambe mumukwasyi bukonzya kupa kuti kabapona kabotu banamukwasyi. (1 Bakorinto 14:33) Mulumi naa usyi bana wakamupa mukuli wakuba mutwe wamukwasyi. Mulumi ulatondezya kuti ulamulemeka Mutwe wakwe, Kristo Jesu, kwiinda mukwiiya mbwayendelezya mbungano Jesu. (Baefeso 5:23) Aboobo, mulumi tayelede kwaalilwa kuzuzikizya mukuli wakwe, pele weelede kuyuma; alimwi tayelede kuba silunya naa mukali, muciindi caboobo weelede kuba siluyando, uumvwisya twaambo alimwi siluzyalo. Weelede kuzyiba kuti bweendelezi bwakwe kuli mpobugolela—tabwiindi bweendelezi bwa Jehova.

13. Ino mbuti mukaintu naa mutumbu mbwakonzya kuzuzikizya mukuli wakwe mumukwasyi munzila iikkomanisya Jehova?

¹³ Mukaintu naa mutumbu ngusikugwasya mulumi. Awalo ulijisi nguzu mumukwasyi nkaambo Bbaibbele lilaamba kujatikizya “mulawo wabanyoko.”  (Tusimpi 1:8) Masimpe, nguzu nzyapedwe mukaintu taziindi nguzu zyamulumaakwe. Mukaintu Munakristo ulabulemeka bweendelezi bwamulumaakwe kwiinda mukumugwasya kuzuzikizya mukuli wakwe mbwali mutwe wamukwasyi. Tamunyansyi, tamwiindi kunsi naa kusola kubweza busena bwakwe. Muciindi caboobo, ulamumvwida alimwi akubelekela antoomwe anguwe. Ikuti naa mulumi wasala kucita cintu cimwi ncatayandi walo, ulakonzya kwaamba cabulemu mbwayeeya, pele weelede kuzumanana kulibombya. Ikuti mulumi katali musyomi, imukaintu ulakonzya kujana mapenzi amwi, pele kulibombya akulilemeka kwakwe inga kwapa kuti mulumaakwe atalike kukomba Jehova.—Amubale 1 Petro 3:1.

14. Ino mbuti bana mbobakonzya kukkomanisya bazyali babo alimwi a Jehova?

¹⁴ Ibana balamukkomanisya Jehova ciindi nobamvwida bausyi abanyina. Alimwi balabalemeka akubakkomanisya bazyali babo. (Tusimpi 10:1) Bana ibajisi muzyali omwe buyo beelede kumumvwida mbubonya, nkaambo balizyi kuti muzyali wabo ooyo mbwali alikke ulayandika kapati kumvwidwa akuti kababelekela  antoomwe anguwe. Mumikwasyi oomo banamukwasyi boonse mobazuzikizya mikuli njaakabapa Leza, muli luumuno alukkomano. Eeci cipa kuti Sikutalisya mikwasyi yoonse, Jehova Leza, alemekwe.—Baefeso 3:14, 15.

15. (a) Ino mbuti mbotukonzya kutondezya kuti tulabulemeka bweendelezi bwa Jehova mumbungano? (b) Ninjiisyo nzi zikonzya kutugwasya kubamvwida aabo basololela? (Amubone kabbokesi kakuti “ Kamubamvwida Aabo Basololela.”)

¹⁵ Jehova wabikka Mwanaakwe kuba Mweendelezi wambungano ya Bunakristo. (Bakolose 1:13) Awalo Jesu wasala “muzike uusyomeka alimwi uucenjede” kuti kalanganya zintu zyakumuuya nzyobayandika bantu ba Leza anyika. (Matayo 24:45-47) Kabunga Keendelezya ka Bakamboni ba Jehova ngo “muzike uusyomeka alimwi uucenjede.” Mbubonya mbocakabede mumbungano ya Bunakristo yamumwaanda wamyaka wakusaanguna, baalu mazuba aano balapegwa malailile alulayo kuzwa ku Kabunga Keendelezya cacigaminina naa kwiinda mubaiminizi bankako mbuli balangizi beendeenda. Ciindi swebo notubamvwida baalu Banakristo, nkokuti tumvwida Jehova.—Amubale 1 Batesalonika 5:12; Bahebrayo 13:17.

16. Muunzila nzi baalu mobasalwa amuuya uusalala?

¹⁶ Baalu abakutausi tabalondokede pe. Balalubizya mbubonya mbuli ndiswe. Pele baalu ‘nzipego mubantu’ izyakapegwa kutegwa zigwasye mbungano kuzumanana kuyuma kumuuya. (Baefeso 4:8) Baalu balasalwa amuuya uusalala. (Milimo 20:28) Munzila nzi? Mukuti aaba baalumi cakusaanguna beelede kusika azyeelelo zilembedwe mu Jwi lya Leza ilyakasololelwa amuuya. (1 Timoteyo 3:1-7, 12; Tito 1:5-9) Kuyungizya waawo, baalu ibalanga-langa naa mukwesu ulasika azyeelelo zyamu Magwalo balapaila camoyo woonse ikulomba busolozi bwamuuya uusalala wa Jehova.

17. Nkaambo nzi bamakaintu ziindi zimwi ncobasamina citambala nobacita milimo yamumbungano?

¹⁷ Mumbungano, inga kwajanika kuti ziindi zimwi kunyina  baalu abakutausi bakonzya kucita milimo njobeelede kucita, mbuli kweendelezya muswaangano wamumuunda. Muziindi zili boobu, bakwesu bamwi babbapatizyidwe balakonzya kucita mulimo ooyo. Ikuti kakutako bakwesu aaba, bacizyi beelela balakonzya kucita milimo eeyo. Nokuba boobo, ikuti mukaintu ucita mulimo weelede kucitwa amusankwa uubbapatizyidwe, weelede kusama citambala. * (1 Bakorinto 11:3-10) Eeci tacaambi kuti bamakaintu batolwa ansi. Muciindi caboobo, eeci cibapa coolwe cakutondezya bulemu kububambe bwabusilutwe mbwaakabikka Jehova mumukwasyi amumbungano.

18, 19. (a) Ino njiisyo zilembedwe ku Baroma 13:1-7 inga mwazipandulula buti? (b) Mbuti mbotutondezya kuti tulabalemeka beendelezi bamunyika?

¹⁸ Banakristo bakasimpe cakusyomeka balaitobela njiisyo iilembedwe ku Baroma 13:1-7. (Amubale.) Nomubala tupango ooto, mulajana kuti “beendelezi” ibaambwa mulugwalo oolu nimfwulumende zyamunyika. Kufwumbwa kuti Jehova kacizizumizyide kubako, mfwulumende zyamunyika zilacita milimo iiyandika mbuli kuleta luumuno akupa zintu zimwi ziyandika. Tulakonzya kubalemeka beendelezi aaba kwiinda mukutobela milawo yabo. Aboobo, tulabikkila maano kutela kufwumbwa mitelo iiyandika, kulemba kabotu mafoomu naa mapepa aali oonse mfwulumende ngoiyanda alimwi akutobela milawo iili yoonse iitujatikizya swebo kutugama, mukwasyi wesu, makwebo naa zintu zimwi nzyotujisi. Nokuba boobo, tatubamvwidi beendelezi bamunyika ikuti batwaambila kutamvwida Leza. Muciindi caboobo, tulabavwiila mbubonya baapostolo bakaindi mbobakavwiila kuti: “Tweelede kumvwida Leza mbwali mweendelezi kutali bantu.”—Milimo 5:28, 29; amubone kabbokesi kakuti “ Mbweendelezi Bwani Mbondeelede Kumvwida?”

 ¹⁹ Alimwi tulatondezya bulemu kubeendelezi bamunyika kweelana ambotulilemeka. Ziindi zimwi inga twayandika kubandika cacigaminina ankumenkume zyamfwulumende. Mwaapostolo Paulo wakabandika abeendelezi bamwi mbuli Mwami Heroda Agripa alimwi a Mweendelezi Fesito. Baalumi aaba bakali babyaabi kapati, pele Paulo wakabalemeka naakali kwaambaula ambabo. (Milimo 26:2, 25) Andiswe tulamwiiya Paulo kwiinda mukumulemeka muntu ngotwaambaula limwi kufwumbwa naa mweendelezi uujisi nguzu kapati naa mupulisa ngotuzyi wamucilawo cesu. Muzikolo, basicikolo Banakristo balatondezya bulemu kuli bamayi babo, kuli basikulanganya bamayi alimwi akubabelesi baacikolo. Masimpe tatulemeki buyo baabo bazuminizya nzyotusyoma; tulabalemeka abaabo ibakazya Bakamboni ba Jehova. Mubwini bantu batasyomi boonse beelede kubona kuti tulaabulemu.—Amubale Baroma 12:17, 18; 1 Petro 3:15.

20, 21. Mbubotu nzi mbotujana akaambo kakubapa bulemu bweelede beendelezi?

²⁰ Tutanikuwayiwayi caboola kumakani aakutondezya bulemu. Mwaapostolo Petro wakalemba kuti: “Amubalemeke bantu bamisyobo yoonse.” (1 Petro 2:17) Bantu nobabona kuti tulabalemeka ncobeni, balakonzya kukkomana kapati. Amuyeeye kuti bube oobu tabujaniki-janiki mazuba aano. Aboobo, ikutondezya bulemu nenzila imwi iitondezya kuti tutobela mulawo wa Jesu wakuti: “Aumunike mumuni wanu kubantu kutegwa babone milimo yanu mibotu akupa bulemu kuli Uso uuli kujulu.”—Matayo 5:16.

²¹ Munyika eeyi iili mumudima, bantu babombe myoyo balakwelelezyegwa amumuni wakumuuya. Aboobo, ikutondezya bulemu mumukwasyi, mumbungano akubeendelezi bamunyika kulakonzya kupa kuti bantu bamwi bakwelelezyegwe akutalika kweenda andiswe mumumuni. Eelo kaka eeci inga cabota kapati! Nokuba kuti zimwi ziindi eeci inga tiicacitika, kuli kaambo kamwi kamasimpe. Notubalemeka bantu, tulamukkomanisya Jehova Leza alimwi citugwasya kuzumanana kukkala muluyando lwakwe. Eeci ncilongezyo cibotu kapati!
