1, 2. Etthu xeeni yuulupale yiiraneyale molumwenkuni, nto xeeni vahintikhina ahu osuwela wira apinaatamu khiyaawerya woona wiiraneya waya?

NIIREKE mootoko wiikoha muriki mutthu onoonela sai okhala okathi yoole oniireya marukunuxo maalupale molumwenkuni? Atthu anci annipaka nikoho nlo. Masi nkahaya muupuwele ela: vaakhanle wira nyuwo munikhala okathi oniireya etthu eyo, niireke mwanwerya woona yowiiraneya eyo yuulupalexa ekumihenrye mirukunuxo iyo? Woonasa wene nnaari. Sowiiraneya seiye sinimala-maliha olamulelo wootakhala ni sinikumiherya itthu sihinliyaleya, ikwaha sinci atthu anceene khanoona okathi oniireya aya. Nihimye so, itthu sinci siniireya wiiphiini: opuro onikhala mamwene, opuro onithukumana atthu anipaka malamulo, wala makhulupale makina a guvernu. Hata vari siiso, itthu iyo sinnivara okumi wa atthu imilyau sinceene.

² Sai voohimya sa yowiiraneya yuulupale ekhumelenle molumwenkuni? Wiireya waya woovara ikumi sa atthu imilyau sinceene. Masi okathi wiiraneya aya khuuvo pinaatamu oonale. Yowiireya eyo enihimya ahu ti okhumelela wa Omwene wa Muluku wiirimu, eguvernu ya Mesiya yaalaiheriwe khalaixa, yeeyo moohipisa enrowa opwetexa olumwenku ola wootakhala. (Mmusome Daniyeli 2:34, 35, 44, 45.) Okhala wira apinaatamu khiyoonale okathi wiiraneya aya, nto niireke Yehova orimwiipithiha wira apinaatamu ahisuwele? Ohiya-vo, niireke aahaareherya vahinatthu atthu awe? Nrowe nivarerye makoho ala?

3-5. (a) Ti pani ori ‘Namitthaka a wataana’ onihimmwa va Malakiya 3:1? (b) Exeeni yaarowa wiiraneya ohinatthi ‘Namitthaka a wataana’ orwa mpaani mwa Muluku?

³ Okhuma okathi wa khalaixa, Yehova aahilakela waareherya atthu awe wira okhumelele Omwene wa Mesiya. Mwa ntakiheryo, thokoreryani eprofesia ya Malakhiya 3:1, enihimya so: ‘Mòne, miyo kinomuruma namitth’aka oholo, wira akilokiherye ephiro enrowaka ovira. Apwiya anawehereryanyu animorwa mpani mwaya nananoru, nlaikha no watàna ninlipelelanyu ni wunkheliwa nihanle orwa’.

⁴ Nto waakhwanela waya wiiren’ye sai mahiku ala, vaavo Yehova, ‘Pwiya’ ekeekhai, aaruuya awe mpani wira aavarerye ale yaamurumeela vaniyateni valaponi, nire so, empa awe yomunepani? Eprofesia ennitthokiherya wira Yehova aamoorwa ni namitthaka wala  “nlaikha no watàna”. Namitthaka ola ti pani? Khahiyo mukina voohikhala Yesu Kristu Mwene a Mesiya! (Luka 1:68-73) Okhala wira ookhalihiwa Namalamulela niinano, owo onrowa waavarerya ni waareeriha atthu a Muluku ari valaponi.—1 Ped. 4:17.

⁵ Nto ti pani aari ‘namitthaka’ onihimmwa wanipacerya wa eprofesia ya Malakhiya 3:1? Owo aarowa okhumelela ohinatthi ophiya okathi wa okhala-vo wa Omwene wa Mesiya. Niireke aattamelaka 1914, ookhala ‘alokihenrye ephiyo’ ohinatthi ophiya Omwene wa Mesiya?

6. Ti pani aaphiyale wanipacerya wira ovare muteko wa ‘namitthaka’ wira aalokiherye atthu a Muluku mwaha wa itthu saarowa okhumelela muhoolo?

⁶ Nirumeelaka sowiiraneya sa atthu a Yehova a mahiku a vano, eliivuru ela enrowa onikhaliherya osuwela waakhuliwa waya nikoho nlo. Sowiiraneya iyo sookuxa murima sinnooniherya wira wanikisa wa eseekulu 19, yaanikhumelela egrupu yaamukhaani ya atthu oororomeleya ya maKristau ekeekhai eriyari ya atthu yoothererya omurumeela Muluku. Atthu awo, muhoolo mwaya yaahisuweliwa okhala Alipa-oomusoma Biibiliya. Ale yaari amahoolela mwa alipa-oomusoma Biibiliya, C. T. Russell ni apatthani awe oororomeleya, yaari tthiri ntoko ‘namitthaka’, yaavaha malakiheryo oomunepani atthu a Muluku ni waalokiherya mwaha wa itthu saarowa wiiraneya muhoolo. Nrowe niwehe moota ‘namitthaka’ saapakale awe eyo mwa inamuna xexe.

⁷ Alipa-oomusoma Biibiliya yaanitokosa saana khuta mwaha; yaaneemya ele yoona aya okhala ekeekhai, yaanilepa myaha iyo, nto arumeelaka iliivuru yaanilaleya ekeekhai yiixutta aya. Mwa iyaakha sinceene, eKristau yoowootha yaari mweepiphini yomunepani; sowiixuttiha saya sinceene saari sa epagau. Ntakiheryo nimosa nootepa osuweliwa ti yowiixuttiha ya ohikhwa wa erooho. Nto iyaakha sa 1800, atthu vakhaani yaasiveliwa ni myaha sa Biibiliya, yaahitokosa sowiixuttiha iyo khuphwanya wira khisaakhuma mBiibiliyani. Atthu ntoko Henry Grew, George Stetson, ni George Storrs, yaahilepa ni olaleya moolipa murima wira sowiixuttiha iyo, waari wootha wuulupale wa Satana. * Nto moolumo yaalaleya aya, yaahivara murima wa Charles T. Russell ni apatthani awe oororomeleya.

⁸ Egrupu ele yaamukhaani ya Alipa-oomusoma Biibiliya yahoona wira sowiixuttiha sikina saavarihana ni ohikhwa wa erooho, saari-tho soohitthokiheya ni sowootha; mwa ntakiheryo, yowiixuttiha yoowi atthu otheene ooloka anrowa wiirimu, aahiiso, wira Muluku onnihukhumu omooroni ohinimala irooho sihinikhwa sa atthu ootakhala. Russell ni apatthani awe oororomeleya moolipa murima yaahilepa myaha sinceene arumeelaka iliivuru, ipanfleto, itratato ni ijornale aphavelaka wira atthu asuwele wira sowiixuttiha iyo saari sowoothiwa.

9. Moota xeeni Zion’s Watch Tower oonihenrya awe okhala ethiru yowiixuttiha ya Oraru?

⁹ Mwa enamuna emosaru, Alipa-oomusoma Biibiliya, yahooniherya okhala etthu yowoothiwa yowiixuttiha yootepa okupaliwa ya  Oraru. Mwaakha wa 1887, erevista ya Englexi, A Torre de Vigia de Sião, yaahimmye so: “Soolepa sinnooniherya saana ovirikana wa Muluku ni Mwaana; ni wataana orina awe Yehova ni Pwiya ahu Yesu”. Mwaha owo waahivikaniha wooniherya okhala etthu ehiniiweya oriki: “Okhala wene muupuwelo wa oraru, niire so, amuluku araru mwa mmosaru, ni okathi omosaru muluku mmosa mwa amuluku araru, wahaana okupaleeliwa ni waakhuleliwa ni anamunceene. Masi eyo enniireya wira yooniherya moota itiini sitempe aya orupa mpakha nwanani owerya oruma itiini mwa enamuna yeethiru”.

10. Moota xeeni Torre de Vigia aathoonyale awe mwaakha wa 1914 okhala eyaakha yaaheliwe ethoonyeryo?

¹⁰ Ntoko sinooneya aya yoolakela ya erevista A Torre de Vigia de Sião e Arauto da Presença de Cristo, waari othokorerya saana iprofesia voohimya sa okhala-vo wa Kristu. Alipa-oolepa erevista ele yaawo yaari owoottihiwa oororomeleya yahoona wira eprofesia ya Daniyeli voohimya sa “iyakha [imara] thanu na pili” ennooniherya okathi waarowa aya waakhwanela yoolakela ya Muluku voohimya sa Omwene wa Mesiya. Khalai ene iyaakha sa 1870, awosa yahona wira 1914 aari mwaakha waarowa omala imaara thanu na piili saahimmwale. (Dan. 4:25; Luka 21:24) Nnaamwi annihu ale okathi ole yahiiwale saana yootaphulela ya mwaakha ole, awosa yaahilaleya mittetthe  sinceene ele yaasuwela aya okhala ekeekhai, nto mpakha olelo-va sinnooneya sookhumelela sa olaleya waya.

11, 12. (a) Ti pani munna Russell aamuhimmya awe wira taamukhalihenrye wiiwexexa ekeekai? (b) Woonen’ye sai okhala wootepexa otthuneya muteko waavariwe ni Russell ni apatthani awe ohinatthi mwaakha wa 1914?

¹¹ Russell ni apatthani awe oororomeleya khanahimye wira yahaana ovuwihiwa mwaha wa ikeekhai somunepani soonale aya mBiibiliyani. Masi Russell aattottopela akina yaapacenrye woonela ekeekhai, owo ohinatthi. Vasulu va itthu sotheene owo anvuwiha Yehova Muluku, ori ti mwaneene owiixuttiha atthu Awe, etthu enitthuneya ni okathi onitthuneya osuwela. Nto vannooneya wira Yehova aahireeliha wiimananiha wa Russell ni apatthani awe waakiherya waya ekeekhai mwa itthu sowoothiwa. Nuuvira okathi, awo yaahooneya okhala atthu oovirikana ni eKristau yoowootha.

¹² Muteko waavanre aya alopwana ale oororomeleya, wira yaakiherye ekeekhai iyaakha sinci ohinatthi 1914, waari muteko muulupale! Elavulaka sa okathi ole erevista A Torre de Vigia de Sião e Arauto da Presença de Cristo ya 1 a Novembro 1917, yaahimmye so: “Olelo-va atthu imilyau sinceene aaruliwa muritti woolemela waarina aya sa woova mwaha wa wiixuttihiwa waya ohooxiwa omooroni ni sowiixuttiha sikina . . . Nnaamwi anyokhani a Ekeekhai amananihaka ni ikuru saya sinitupa ntoko maasi a mphareya, wuulaana wa Ekeekhai, opacenrye etthu yowiiraka iyaakha 40 sivinre, onnivikaniha wuulaana ni onrowa ovikaniha mpakha ophiya ilapo sotheene”.

13, 14. (a) Moota xeeni ‘namitthaka’ aakhalihenrye awe olokiherya ephiro ya Omwene wa Mesiya? (b) Exeeni ekhanle ahu oowiixutta wa anna arumenle khalai iyaakha sinivikana eseekulu emosa?

¹³ Vano thokoreryani ela: Niireke atthu yanwerya okhala oolikanela olipelela mapacereryo a okhala-vo wa Kristu, vakhanle wira atthu awo khiyaawerya osuwela ovirikana okhanle eriyari ya Yesu, Tiithi awe, ni Yehova? Nnaari! Khiyaarowa okhala oolikanela vakhanle wira yuupuwela wira okumi woohikhwa oniphwanyiwa ni atthu othene, ohiya okhala ntoko yoovaha eniphwanyiwa ni atthareli vakhaani paahi oororomeleya a Kristu; tthiri khiyaarowa okhala oolikanela vakhanle wira yuupuwela wira Muluku onnaahaaxa atthu mahiku otheene omooroni vohilipelela owoopola. Aayo, ‘namitthaka aahilokiherya ephiro mwaha wa Omwene wa Mesiya!

¹⁴ Sai voohimya sa hiyo olelo-va? Niireke ehaavo etthu eniixutta ahu wa annihu ale a eseekulu emosa evinre? Aayo, nihaana-tho okhalela nthiti osoma ni otokosa Nuulumo na Muluku. (Yoh. 17:3) Vaavo olumwenku ola onitepa awe ovoliwa etala yomunepani, nitepeke wunnuuherya ophavela wahu olya yoolya ya omunepani!—Mmusome 1 Timótheyo 4:15.

15. Nuuvira wa okathi etthu xeeni Alipa-omusoma Biibiliya yaasuwenle aya? (Nwehe-tho enoota.)

¹⁵ Alipa-oomusoma Biibiliya yaahiixutta wira ti vootthuneya ovalaana ni itiini sa mulaponi. Mwaakha wa 1879, erevista Watch Tower yaahilavula sa “ikerexa sa Babilonia”. Niireke yaahimya makhulupale anithanliwa okhala paapa? Ekerexa ya eKatoolika ya oRoma? Mwa iyaakha sinceene ikerexa sa eportestante saahimya wira tthiri ti yaawo. Masi, vakhaani-vakhaani Alipa-oomusoma Biibiliya yahoona wira ikerexa sotheene sa eKristau yowootha saaniheliwa muhina mwa nuulumo noowi “Babilonia”. Mwaha wa xeeni?  Mwaha woowi ikerexa iyo sotheene saaxuttiha itthu sowootha simanle ahu ohimya. * Nuuvira okathi, iliivuru sahu saanivira sooniheryaka saana etthu yaatthuneya awe opaka mutthu ooreera murima yoole eetta ikerexa iyo sa Babilonia.

16, 17. (a) Moota xeeni evolume III ya Millennial Dawn ni Watch Tower yaatumererya aya atthu okhuma muhina mwa etiini yoowoka? (b) Etthu xeeni yaavukula ikuru sa soolopola iyo? (Nwehe enoota.)

¹⁶ Mwa ntakiheryo, 1891, eVolume III ya eliivuru yiitthaniwa Millennial Dawn yaahilavula sa okhoottiwa wa Babilonia a mahiku ala, nto yaahimmye so: “Ikerexa iyo sotheene sokhoottiwa ni Muluku”. Yaahincererya-tho eriki: “Otheene yaale ahimphavela okhaliherya sowiixuttiha ni miteko saya sowootha, vano ahaana ovalaana ni ikerexa iyo”.

¹⁷ Janero a 1900, erevista yiitthaniwa Watch Tower yaahihimya sa atthu yaale nlelo masina aya yahaakumihiwe mulistani ya ikerexa sa eKristau yoowootha, yaale yuupuwela vamurimani vaya ariki, “Miyo khahiyo kinoomakela orowa okerexa, nave murima aka wotheene oniphavela ekeekhai”. Nto erevista eyo yaakonhe so: “Niireke etthu yooloka, mutthu okhuma nimeya, nto nimeya nikina khuhala oBabilonia? Niireke eyo ti etthu enooniherya wiiwelela onivekeliwa ahu . . . ni onimuhakalaliha Muluku? Nnaari. Mutthu [yoole oneetta ikerexa iyo] oonihenrye vanlakani vene wira onnataana ni ikerexa iyo, nto ohaana okupaleelaka khuta etthu enivekeliwa awe ottharihelaka wataana orina awe; mpakha . . . mutthu owo wooniherya vanlakani vene wira onnikhootta ni khoniirela-tho mpantta wa ekerexa eyo”. Nuuvira wa iyaakha, moonelo owo waamutepa otumereriwa. * Tthiri arumeyi a Yehova ahaana okhootta khuta etthu enivarihana ni itiini soowoka.

18. Xeeni vaarya aya vootthuneya atthu okhuma “mBabilonia Muulupale”?

¹⁸ Vakhanle wira yoolopola eyo ya okhuma ‘mBabilonia Mulupale’ khiyaamakela olaleiwa, niireke Kristu yoowo vano amanle ovahiwa Omwene, aamukhalana nikhuuru na arumeyi oowoottihiwa valaponi? Nnaari, maana maKristau yaale paahi ataphunwe mmikhoyi sa Babilonia taniwerya omukokhorela Yehova ni munepa vamosa ni ekeekhai. (Yoh. 4:24) Niireke hiyo olelo noolakela tthiri otaphuwa mwa itiini soowoka? Nto nrowe nivikaniheke wiiwelela yooruma eni: “nyuwo, atthu aka, mukhume”!—Mmusome Wisupulula 18:4.

19, 20. Moota xeeni erevista Watch Tower yaatumererya aya atthu a Muluku othukumana vamosa wira amukokhorele Yehova?

¹⁹ Alipa-oomusoma Biibiliya yaahiixutta wira ale yaamini yahaana othukumana wira amukokhoreleke Yehova khuta okathi oniweryaneya. Wira mutthu okhale muKristau ekeekhai, khoniphiyerya okhuma paahi mutiinini yoowoka. Ohaana-tho wiirela mpantta okokhorela wekeekhai. Tivonto okhuma vanipacerya erevista ya Watch Tower yanaatumererya ale yaasoma wira ethukumaneke wira amukokhoreleke Yehova. Mwa ntakiheryo, mweeri wa Julyu a 1880, munna Russell, alavulaka sa mukwaha aapakale awe woolavula myaha, aahihimya sa moota mithukumano sinceene saakhala aya soolipiha. Nuumala-vo, owo ahaavekela ale yaasoma erevista ele wira yahaana oroiha ekartau yooniherya moota settaaya  mithukumano, ikartau iyo sikina saarowa okumiheriwa mujornaleni. Yoolakela aya yaari exeeni? Russell aahimmye so: “Wira othene ahu nisuwele . . . moota Pwiya sinooreelihaweni; akhala wira munnivikaniha othukumana vamosa ni ale anaamini”.

²⁰ Mwaakha wa 1882, mwaha wiitthaniwa “Othukumana” waahikhumelela murevistani ya Watch Tower. Mwaha ole wahaatumererya maKristau orowaka omuthukumano “wira alipihaneke, akhoomalihaneke ni olipiheryana”. Waahittittimiherya-tho oriki: “Etthu enitthuneya khahiyo okhalana atthu oosomexa wala oosuwelexa itthu. Masi khuta mutthu ohaana omuruuha Biibiliya awe, epaphelo awe, elaapis ni murumeeleke itthu sotheene sinikhaliherya mwa enamuna ya concordância, . . . akhala wira vanniweryaneya. Muthanleke mwaha woothokorerya muvekeleke okhaliheriwa ni munepa wa Muluku wira mwiiwexexe saana, nuumala-vo musomeke, muupuweleke, mwaavyeke soolepa sikina sinilikana ni yoolepa eyo, eyo enoowiirihani osuwela ekeekhai”.

21. Ntakiheryo xeeni nooloka voohimya sa mithukumano ni okukhula nivahiwe ni muloko wa Allegheny, Pennsylvania?

²¹ Okathi ole esedi ya Alipa-oomusoma Biibiliya yaakhala Allegheny, Pensilvânia, EUA. Arye ene opuro ole, awosa yaanivaha ntakiheryo  nooloka na othukumana yiiwelelaka miruku sowuupuxeriwa ni Muluku siri va aHéberi 10:24, 25. (Mmusome.) Muhoolo mwaya, munna mmosa mutokweene Charles Capen, ahuupuwela okathi aarowa awe mithukumano iyo oryeene mmiravo. Owo aalempe so: “Nlelo kinnuupuwela yoolepa emosa, yaalempwale vaxirini ya empa ya asembeleya ya Sociedade. Yaari so: ‘Pwiyanyu ori-vo mmosa, Kristu; nto nyuwo otheene mwa anna’. Nkinliyala yoolepa ele, tthiri eriyari ya Anamoona a Yehova khakhanle amahoolela ntoko ikerexa sikina”. (Math. 23:8) Munna Capen onnuupuwela-tho, moota mithukumano sakhala aya soreera, soolipiha ni moota munna Russell saamananiha awe omuxukurya khuta mutthu aari a mmulokoni.

22. Atthu owaamini yoonenle sai okathi yaatumererinwe aya orowa mithukumano, nto eyo enniixuttiha exeeni?

²² Atthu oororomeleya yaheemya otthara ntakiheryo nle ni wiixuttihiwa. Saahikhumelela miloko ipantte sikina, ntoko Ohio ni Michigan, muhoolo mwaya epantte yotheene ya America do Norte, ni mapuro makina. Vano nkuupuwelani ela: Niireke atthu oororomeleya yaarowa tthiri okhala oolikanela okathi wa okhala-vo wa Kristu, vakhanle wira khiyaaxuttihiwe wiiwelela miruku sowuupuxeriwa ni Muluku sa othukumana mwaha wookokhorela? Nnaari! Ankhi hiyo olelo-va? Nihaana-tho okhalela nthiti ni orowa moororomeleya mithukumano sa muloko, ni waavya okathi woomukokhorela Muluku niryeene ni atthu akina wira nilipihane omunepani.

23. Moota xeeni erevista Watch Tower yoonihenrya aya saana wira alipa-owoottihiwa otheene yahaana okhala anamalaleerya?

²³ Alipa-oomusoma Biibiliya yaahiixutta wira alipa-oowoottihiwa otheene ahaana olaleerya ekeekhai. Mwaakha wa 1885, erevista yiitthaniwa Watch Tower yaahimyale so: “Nihiliyale wira  khuta mutthu oowoottihiwa olaleerya ti etthu emwiirihale woottihiwa (Isa. 61:1), ni ti muteko iitthaneliwa awe”. Mwaha waakumiheriwe mwaakha wa 1888, waatumererya so: “Hiyo noosuwela muteko ahu . . . Nto akhala wira khinnicalela wala woothererya ninrowa okhala arumeyi owoolowa, onooniherya ohiphwanelela eparakha yuulupale evahiwa ahu”.

24, 25. Moota xeeni Munna Russell ni apatthani awe yaavaha aya ntakiheryo na olaleerya ohiya waatumererya akina paahi? (b) Kolportore mmosa aahimyale exeeni sa olaleya wawe okathi wahaakhanle ikaaro sinci?

²⁴ Munna Russell ni apatthani awe akina oororomeleya khahiyo yaatumererya akina paahi wira alaleeryeke. Awosa yaahipacerya-tho okumiherya itratato siitthaniwa “Tratados dos Estudantes da Bíblia”, muhoolo mwaya siitthaniwa-tho “Publicação Trimestral da Velha Teologia”. Ale yaasoma erevista Watch Tower yanaakhela wira yaakaweleke atthu voohiliviwa.

²⁵ Ale yaivahererya ovara muteko woolaleerya okathi wotheene, yiitthaniwa makolportore (mapioneero). Charles Capen ohimmwale wanipacerya, aari kolportore. Muhoolo mwaya aahimyale so: “Kaarumeela mapha yaapakiwe ni Pesquisa Geológica do Guverno dos Estados Unidos wira kiweryeke olaleerya mittetthe sotheene sa Pennsylvania. Maapha ala yaanooniherya iphiro sotheene, nto vaanikhweya ophiya mittetthe sotheene mwentto. Ekwaha ekina nuumala mahiku mararu keetteettaka mmuttettheni kikuxaka masina a atthu yaaveka iliivuru siitthaniwa Studies in the Scriptures (Osoma Soolempwa), kaalugari ikhavalo wala ikarosa wira kivahererye iliivuru. Kaamakela weemexiwa mmatta mwa alimi khiyavahiwa opuro woorupa. Mahiku ale yaari vakhaani atthu yaarina ikaaro”.

26. (a) Xeeni atthu a Muluku yoona aya okhala vootthuneya okhalela nthiti olaleerya wira yiilokiherye mwaha wa omwene wa Kristu? (b) Makoho xeeni anireerela ahu wiikohaka?

²⁶ Wiimananiha iwo wa murima wotheene wira alaleerye waavekela tthiri olipa murima ni nthiti. Niireke maKristau ekeekhai yaarowa okhala oolikaneene alipelelaka olamulelo wa Kristu vakhanle wira khiyaaxuttihiwe otthuneya waya olaleerya? Nnaari! Maana muteko owo wahaana okhala enamuna yootepa wooneya okathi wa okhala-vo wa Kristu. (Math. 24:14) Atthu a Muluku yahaana okhala oolikaneene saana wira yiirihe muteko owo onoopola ikumi okhala wootepexa otthuneya mweekumini mwaya. Olelo-va, hiyo nihaana wiikoha so: ‘Kiireke muteko woolaleerya ti wootepexa otthuneya mookumini mwaka? Kinnileva itthu sikina wira kivirihe okathi munceene kilaleeryaka?’

27, 28. Etthu xeeni yoonihiwe murummwa Yohani, nto Satana ni malaikha awe yaapanke exeeni nuumala woona okhumelela wa Omwene?

²⁷ Nuumala wiiraneya itthu simanle ahu ohimya, nto waahiphiya mwaakha wa 1914. Ntoko soonale ahu wanipacerya wa muru ola, khuuvo pinaatamu oonale wiireya wa itthu sookuxa murima wiirimu. Masi, murummwa Yohani ahoonihiwa itthu siiraneya mwa nthoonyeryo. Vano, nkuupuwelani ela: Yohani ahoona ‘ithonyeryo sulupale’ siireya wiirimu. ‘Muthiyana’ a Muluku, eyo piiyo, nikhuuru nawe nootthokiheya na soopattuxiwa somunepani siri wiirimu, aahirupala khumuyara mwaana mwaamulopwana. Nto ninleeliwa wira mwaana ola a nthoonyeryo, moohipisa onrowa ‘olamula maloko othene a vathí n’ikopo ya yuma’. Ayariwakaru, ‘ahikuxiwa  khurowaniwa wa Muluku mpakha vehijeni vawe’. Nto nsu noorunya na wiirimu naahimya so: “Vano wophiya wopola n’uwerya n’omwene wa Muluku ahu n’utokwene wa Kristu awe!”—Wis. 12:1, 5, 10.

²⁸ Tthiri Yohani ahoonihiwa oyariwa wa Omwene wa Mesiya. Yowiiraneya eyo yaari tthiri yookuxa murima, masi khahiyo wira otheene yahaasivela. Satana ni minepa sawe yaahikumiherya ekhotto enawana ni malaikha oororomeleya, yahooleliwa ni Mikhayeli, wala Kristu. Nto etthu xeeni yiiranen’ye? Hiyo ninsoma so: ‘Yahiriheliwa vathi. Enowa eyo yulupalexa t’inowa yele ya khalayi, enìhaniwa Nwanani walá Satana, yeyo eniwototha atthu othene; Eyo yahiriheliwa elapo ya vathí, malaikh’aya yahiriheliwa-tho mulaponi vamosá ni yeyo’.—Wis. 12:7, 9.

29, 30. Nuumala okhumelela Omwene wa Mesiya, itthu saavirikanne sai (a) valaponi? (b) wiirimu?

²⁹ Khalai ene ohinatthi 1914, Alipa-oomusoma Biibiliya yaahihimya wira okathi wooxankiha waarowa opacerya eyaakha ene yeele. Masi awosa khiyaasuwela moota saarowa aya waakhwanela itthu sotheene saahimyale aya vahinatthi. Ntoko Yohani soonihiwa awe, oriheliwa vathi wa Satana waarowa okumiherya mixankiho sincene wa apinaatamu ntoko sinihimya aya yowoonihiwa eriki: ‘Nyuwo elapo n’iphareya motakhaliwa mana Satana òkhuruwela wa nyuwo ananariwene vanjene, okhala wira òsuwela wira orina okathi vakhani pahi’. (Wis. 12:12) Tthiri 1914, yaahipacerya ekhotto ya olumwenku wotheene, nto ethoonyeryo ya okhala-vo wa Kristu ni owerya wawe wa emwene yaahipacerya wiiraneya molumwenkuni. Nto yaahipacerya ‘mahiku okiserya’ a mukhalelo ola wa itthu.—2 Tim. 3:1.

³⁰ Hata vaari siiso, wiirimu waahikhumelela ohakalala. Okhala wira Satana ni minepa sawe sihoomoliwa wirimu wa mahiku otheene. Yohani onihimya so: “Tivó erimu yothene etteliweke murima, ni nyuwo othene munkhala weiwo!” (Wis. 12:12) Okhala wira wiirimu woreerihiwa ni Yesu ookhalihiwa Mwene, Omwene wa Mesiya waari oolikaneene wira owaakiherye atthu a Muluku valaponi. Nto Omwene owo waarowa opaka exeeni? Ntoko soonale ahu wanipacerya wa muru ola, Kristu ntoko namitthaka a wataana, wanipacerya aarowa waalokiherya arumeyi a Muluku valaponi.
