6-8. (a) Nzyintu nzi zimbi izyakapa kuti buumi bwa Josefa amukwasyi wakwe bucince? (b) Mbumboni nzi butondezya kuti Saatani ngowakatuma “nyenyeezi”? (Amubone amajwi aamunsi.)

Wakabikkila kapati maano kukukwabilila mwanaakwe akubweza mukwasyi wakwe kuya ku Egepita. Akaambo kakuti basikupandulula bweende bwanyenyeezi aaba bakapa mukwasyi wakwe zipego zidula, Josefa lino wakalijisi zyintu izyakali kukonzya kugwasya mukwasyi wakwe mulweendo lwabo.

(Mt. 13:55) Wakali mulimo muyumu uukatazya kapati. Kanji-kanji mubezi iwakali kupona ciindi Bbaibbele nolyakali kulembwa, wakali kubelekela munsi-munsi amulyango waŋanda yakwe naa mukaanda kakubezela kabambene aŋanda yakwe.

Kulangilwa kuti Josefa wakatalika kumutondezya mwanaakwe mbuli mbokucitwa tulimo tusyoonto-syoonto tuli mbuli kubotya mapulanga kwiinda mukubelesya cikanda canswi yakayuma. Alimwi kulangilwa kuti wakamutondezya Jesu masamu aasiyene-siyene aakali kubelesyegwa, mbuli masamu aamukuyu, amasamu mapati, naa aamaolifa.

Ambweni Jesu wakali kuba amibuzyo minji bazwa kucikombelo alimwi Josefa wakali kusoleka kapati kwiingula mibuzyo yamwanaakwe iijatikizya Jehova amilawo yakwe. Josefa alimwi wakali kuunka amukwasyi wakwe kumapobwe aabukombi ku Jerusalemu.

Nobakali afwaafwi kusika ku Jerusalemu, banji bakali kwiimba ntembauzyo zizyibidwe zyabasikutanta. (Int. 120-134) Munzi weelede kuti wakazula azyuulu-zyuulu zyabantu. Kumane, mikwasyi yakatalika kupiluka kumaanda. Josefa a Mariya, ambweni akaambo kakujata bubi, bakayeeya kuti Jesu wakali kweendela antoomwe abanamukwasyi bambi. Nobakeenda musinzo weendwa buzuba bomwe kuzwa ku Jerusalemu, nceciindi nobakazyiba kuti Jesu tanaakali ambabo pe.—Lk. 2:41-44.

22, 23. Ino Josefa a Mariya bakacita nzi nobakazyiba kuti mwanaabo musankwa wasweeka, alimwi ncinzi Mariya ncaakaamba ciindi nobakamujana mwanaabo?

Ino mwana ooyu wakali kuli? Kuzikusika mubuzuba bwatatu kabamuyandaula, sena Josefa wakatalika kuyeeya kuti waalilwa kuuzuzikizya mukuli uusetekene ooyu ngwaakapegwa aa Jehova? Kumamanino, bakazikuunka kutempele. Okuya bakamuyandaula mane bakasika muŋanda mobakabungene bamaalumi banji bayiide, ibakauzyi kabotu Mulawo—a Jesu uucili mwana kakkede akati kabo.

28 Ibbaibbele lyaamba buyo twaambo tusyoonto kujatikizya buumi bwa Josefa, pele tulagwasya kutulanga-langa cakusitikila. Tubala kuti Jesu “wakazumanana kubamvwida” bazyali bakwe. Alimwi tujana kuti “Jesu wakali kuyaabukomena mubusongo aciimo, kayandwa kapati a Leza alimwi abantu.” (Amubale Luka 2:51, 52.) Ino majwi aaya atondezya nzi kujatikizya Josefa?

Alimwi tulakonzya kuba masimpe kuti Josefa wakali kucita oobo ziindi zinji.

30. Ncikozyanyo nzi Josefa ncaakasiila basilutwe bamikwasyi bamazuba aano?

30 Alimwi tulakonzya kubona bumboni butondezya Josefa mbwaakamukomezya Jesu. Kali mwana uubikkilwa maano, Jesu wakakomena akuba muntu muyumu alimwi uukkomene. Kuyungizya waawo, Josefa wakamuyiisya mwanaakwe kuba munkutwe mumilimo yakwe yakumubili. Jesu taakwe naakazizilwe buyo kuba mwana wasikufwala mapulanga, pele awalo wakali “sikufwala mapulanga.” (Mk. 6:3) Aboobo, Josefa wakazwidilila mukumuyiisya kwakwe. Basilutwe bamikwasyi cabusongo balaiya cikozyanyo ca Josefa, kulanganya bana babo akubona kuti balakonzya kulibelekela.

31 Twasika mucibalo camu Bbaibbele icaamba kubbapatizyigwa kwa Jesu kajisi myaka iili 30 yakuzyalwa, tujana kuti Josefa taambidwe pe mucibalo. Kweelana abumboni buliko, kulibonya kuti Mariya wakali mukamufwu ciindi Jesu naakatalika mulimo wakwe. (Amubone kabbokesi kakuti  “Ino Josefa Wakafwa Lili?”) Nokuba boobo, Josefa wakasiya cikozyanyo cibotu, cikozyanyo causyi iwakakwabilila mukwasyi wakwe, iwakalanganya alimwi iwakazumanana kusyomeka kusikila kumamanino. Kufwumbwa usyi bana, silutwe wamukwasyi naa Munakristo uuli woonse, inga wacita kabotu kwiiya lusyomo lwa Josefa.
