Alimwi ino butuyiisya nzi kujatikizya mbotukonzya kuyubila mulinguwe mazuba aano?
‘WEELEDE KWAAMBILA BAPATI MULANDU WAKWE’
6, 7. (a) Amupandulule mukuli ngobakajisi bapati mukubeteka muntu iwajaya muntu cakutazyiba. (Amubone cifwanikiso icili kumatalikilo aacibalo.) (b) Ino nkaambo nzi ncocakali camaano kuli sikujaya muntu kubona bapati?

Jak. 5:14-16) Cabili, bubambe oobu bupa kuti sizibi iweempwa ayume kutegwa azumanane kuba mulukwabililo lwa Leza alimwi akuti atakaciinduluki cibi. (Gal. 6:1; Heb. 12:11) Catatu, baalu bakasalwa alimwi akuyiisyigwa kukulwaizya basizibi beempwa, kubagwasya kulimvwa kulemununwa kucibi cabo. Jehova waamba bapati aaba kuti ‘mbusena bwakuyubila mvwula mpati yamuwo.’ (Is. 32:1, 2, bupanduluzi buyungizyidwe) Sena tamuzumini kuti bubambe oobu ncitondezyo caluse lwa Leza?

Pele mbubwenya buyo, ndakali kuyoowa kuti ambweni umwi ulakonzya kuzyiba kujatikizya cibi cangu akulindila cisubulo akaambo kamicito yangu. Mpoonya nondakapaila kuli Jehova, ndakalimvwa kuti ndakeelede kusaanguna kulilekelela akaambo kancondakacita.” Kumamanino, ba Daniel bakayeeya kulomba lugwasyo kubaalu. Kabayeeya cakacitika, bakaamba kuti: “Masimpe, ndakali kuyoowa kubaambila baalu. Pele mukuya kwaciindi, cakalibonya mbuli kuti umwi wagusya mukuli mulemu agwezyo lyangu. Lino ndilimvwa kuti ndilakonzya kumusikila Jehova cakwaanguluka.” Mazuba aano ba Daniel bajisi manjezyeezya aasalala, alimwi caino-ino bakasalwa kuba mukutausi.
“WEELEDE KUTIJILA KULI UMWI WAMINZI EEYI”
10. Ino nintaamu nzi sikujaya muntu cakutazyiba njaakeelede kubweza cakufwambaana kutegwa afwidwe luse?
10 Muntu iwajaya muntu cakutazyiba wakeelede kubweza ntaamu kutegwa afwidwe luse. Wakeelede kutijila kumunzi wamayubilo iwakali afwaafwi. (Amubale Joshua 20:4.)

Wakeelede kusiya mulimo ngwaakali kubeleka, ŋanda mbotu, alimwi alwaanguluko lwakweendeenda—kusikila limwi mupaizi mupati wafwa. * (My. 35:25) Pele kusiya zintu eezyi kwakali kugwasya kapati. Ikuti naa sikujaya muntu wazwa mumunzi, wakali kuyootondezya kuti takombeleli kujatikizya bulowa mbwaakatila, alimwi buumi bwakwe bwakali kuyooba muntenda.
11. Ino micito nzi ya Munakristo iweempwa iitondezya kuti taubyi-ubyi luse lwa Leza?

Tweelede kuleka cibi cakumaninina, kutija kutali buyo kuzwa kucibi cipati pele alimwi akuzibi zisyoonto-syoonto zyalo kanji-kanji izisololela kucibi cipati. Kwiinda mukusololelwa amuuya, mwaapostolo Paulo wakaamba micito yakweempwa ya Banakristo ku Korinto. Wakalemba kuti: “Ooku kuusa kwanu kweendelana akuyanda kwa Leza ncokwakamupa kucita, inzya kwakamupa bunkutwe, kwakamupa kulisalazya, kwakamupa kukalala, kwakamupa kuyoowa, kwakamupa kuyandisisya, kwakamupa kusungwaala, kwakamupa kululamika cilubide!” (2Kor. 7:10, 11) Notusolekesya kubweza ntaamu kutegwa tuleke cibi tutondezya Jehova kuti tulabikkila maano, alimwi akuti luse lwakwe tatuluboni kuti ncintu ncotweelede kutondezyegwa kufwumbwa naa zintu zili buti.

(Mt. 18:8, 9) Ikuti balongwe bamwi balamuyunga kucita zintu izitamukkomanisyi Jehova, sena muyoocimana cilongwe ambabo? Ikuti naa cilamuyumina kutaciindizya kunywa bukoko, sena mulilibambilide kuzwa mubusena bukonzya kumupa kuti muciindizye kunywa bukoko? Ikuti naa mulwana zisusi zyakoonana, sena mulatantamuka mafilimu, mawebbusaiti naa micito yalo iikonzya kupa kuti mube amizeezo iitali kabotu? Amuyeeye kuti, kufwumbwa kuliimya nkotucita kutegwa tuzumanane kusyomeka kuli Jehova kulagwasya kapati. Kunyina cintu cicisa kwiinda kukakwa anguwe. Kulubazu lumwi, kunyina cipa kukkutila kwiinda kulimvwa kuti muli ‘muluyando lwakwe lutamani lwalyoonse alyoonse.’—Is. 54:7, 8.
“YEELEDE KUMUBEDA MAYUBILO”
13. Amupandulule kaambo sikujaya muntu ncaakali kukonzya kulimvwa kukwabililwa, akukkomana mumunzi wamayubilo.

Kujatikizya minzi eeyo, Jehova wakaamba kuti: “Yeelede kumubeda mayubilo.” (Jos. 20:2, 3) Jehova tanaakali kuyanda kuti sikujaya muntu cakutazyiba abetekwe alimwi akaambo kamulandu nguwenya; alimwi kunyina naakali kuyanda kuti sikupilusya mulandu wabulowa azumizyigwe kunjila mumunzi akujaya muntu iwakajaya muntu.

Munzi wakali kumupa coolwe cakubeleka, kugwasya bamwi alimwi akubelekela Jehova muluumuno. Inzya, cakali kukonzyeka kupona buumi bukkomanisya alimwi ibupa kukkutila.

Paulo naakamana kutondezya kuusa kwakwe akaambo kakwaalilwa kumvwida Jehova cakulondoka, wakaamba kuti: “Aalumbwe kaka Leza iwandivwuna kwiinda muli Jesu Kristo Mwami wesu!” (Rom. 7:25) Masimpe tacikwe makani abuyumuyumu bwakulwana cibi alimwi azibi zyakwe izyakaindi—nzyaakeempwa—Paulo wakalijisi lusyomo mukulekelela kwa Leza kwiinda muli Jesu. Mbwali Cinunuzyo cesu, Jesu ulaasalazya manjezyeezya eesu akutupa luumuno lwamumoyo.
