1-3. Kasi pakuŵa uwemi wuli para tikumuyezga Yehova pa nkhani ya kutemwa ŵanthu?

 “UYO wakupeleka wakukondwa chomene kuluska uyo wakupokera.” (Milimo 20:35) Mazgu gha Yesu agha ghakukhozgera fundo yaunenesko nadi yakuti tikutumbikika chomene para tili na chitemwa chambura uryezi. Nangauli munthu uyo walongoreka chitemwa wakukondwa, kweni uyo wakupeleka panji kuti kulongora chitemwa ndiyo wakukondwa chomene.

² Adada ŵithu ŵakuchanya ndiwo ŵakuyimanya makora chomene fundo iyi. Nga umo tawonera mu mitu yakumanyuma mu chigaŵa ichi, Yehova ntchiyelezgero chiwemi chomene pa nkhani ya chitemwa. Palije munthu uyo wali kulongorapo chitemwa mu nthowa zinandi panji kwa nyengo yitali nga ndiyo. Lekani ntchakuzizwiska yayi kuti Yehova wakuchemeka “Chiuta wakukondwa.”—1 Timote 1:11.

³ Chiuta withu wa chitemwa wakukhumba kuti ise tiyezgeskenge kuti tiŵe nga ndiyo, chomene pa chigaŵa cha kulongora chitemwa ku ŵanyithu. Lemba la Ŵaefeso 5:1, 2 likutiphalira kuti: “Pakuti ndimwe ŵana ŵakutemweka, yezgani Chiuta. Lutilirani kwenda mu chitemwa.” Para tikuyezga Yehova pa nkhani ya kutemwa ŵanthu, tikusanga chimwemwe icho chikwiza chifukwa cha kupa. Tikuŵa ŵakukhorwa chifukwa cha kumanya kuti tikukondweska Yehova, ndipo Mazgu ghake ghakutichiska kuti ‘titemwanenge.’ (Ŵaroma 13:8) Kweni pali vifukwa vinyake ivyo vikutipangiska kuti tilutilire “kwenda mu chitemwa.”

4, 5. Chifukwa wuli ntchakuzirwa kulongora chitemwa chakujipata ku ŵasopi ŵanyithu?

⁴ Chifukwa wuli ntchakuzirwa kuti tilongorenge chitemwa ku ŵasopi ŵanyithu? Kuyowoya mwakudumura, chitemwa ndicho ni mukhaliro ukuru wa Ŵakhristu ŵaunenesko. Kwambura  chitemwa tingaŵa yayi paubwezi wenecho na Ŵakhristu ŵanyithu, nakuti tingaŵa ŵanthu ŵa wakawaka pamaso pa Yehova. Wonani umo Mazgu gha Chiuta ghakukhozgera unenesko uwu.

⁵ Pa usiku waumaliro wa uteŵeti wake, Yesu wakaphalira ŵalondezgi ŵake kuti: “Nkhumupani dango liphya, lakuti mutemwanenge, nga umo ine namutemwerani, ndimo namwe mutemweranenge. Usange mukutemwana, wose ŵamanyenge kuti ndimwe ŵasambiri ŵane.” (Yohane 13:34, 35) Mazgu ghakuti “nga umo ine namutemwerani,” ghakutichiska kuti nase tilongorenge mtundu wa chitemwa uwo Yesu wakalongoranga. Mu Mutu 29, tikasambira kuti Yesu wakapeleka chiyelezgero chiwemi chomene pa kulongora chitemwa chakujipata, na kudangizga vyakukhumba vya ŵanji. Nase tikukhumbikwira kuti tiŵe na chitemwa chambura uryezi, ndipo tikwenera kulongora mwambura kutemwera mwakuti ŵanthu awo Mbakaboni yayi ŵamanyenge za chitemwa chithu. Kuyowoya unenesko, Chitemwa chambura upusikizgi, ntchimanyikwiro cha ŵalondezgi ŵaunenesko ŵa Khristu.

6, 7. (a) Kasi tikumanya wuli kuti Mazgu gha Yehova ghakutichiska kuti tilongorenge chitemwa? (b) Kasi mazgu gha Paulosi agho ghali kulembeka pa 1 Ŵakorinte 13:4-8 ghakudidimizga chigaŵa wuli cha chitemwa?

⁶ Wuli usange tilije chitemwa? Mpositole Paulosi wakati: “Usange . . . nilije chitemwa, nazgoka belu ilo likulira waka panji chibekete chakuchita waka chiwawa.” (1 Ŵakorinte 13:1) Belu ilo likulira waka, likupoma chiwawa chikuru chomene. Wuli chibekete chakuchita chiwawa? Ichi ntchiyelezgero chakwenelera nadi! Munthu wambura chitemwa wali nga ntchakwimbira icho chikupoma waka chongo ndipo chikukondweska yayi. Kasi munthu wa nga ni uyu wangaŵa wuli paubwezi na ŵanji? Paulosi wakayowoyaso kuti: “Usange . . . nili na chipulikano mwakuti ningasezga mapiri, kweni nilije chitemwa, vyose ivi vilije ntchito.” (1 Ŵakorinte 13:2) Munthu wambura chitemwa ni ‘munthu wa wakawaka,’ vilije kanthu kuti kwali wali na milimo wuli! Apa ntchakuwonekerathu kuti Mazgu gha Yehova ghakutichiska kuti tilongorenge chitemwa.

⁷ Kweni kasi tingalongora wuli kuti tikutemwa ŵanyithu? Kuti  tizgore fumbo ili, tiyeni tisande mazgu gha Paulosi agho ghakusangika pa 1 Ŵakorinte 13:4-8. Mavesi agha ghakuyowoya za umo Chiuta wakutitemwera yayi nesi umo ise tikutemwera Chiuta. M’malo mwake, Paulosi wakudidimizga umo tingalongolera chitemwa ku ŵanyithu. Wakalongosora vinthu vinyake ivyo chitemwa chikuchita na ivyo chikuchita yayi.

8. Kasi kuzikira kungatovwira wuli pakuchita vinthu na ŵanyithu?

⁸ “Chitemwa chikuzikira.” Fundo iyi yikung’anamura kuti munthu uyo wali na chitemwa wakuzikira na kugowokera munyake. (Ŵakolose 3:13) Kasi tikukhumbikwira nadi kuzikira? Enya! Chifukwa chakuti tili ŵanthu ŵambura urunji ndipo tikuteŵetera pamoza, ntchakuwonekerathu kuti nyengo zinyake tingakhuŵazgana na ŵabali withu Ŵachikhristu. Kweni kuzika kungatovwira kuti tizizipizgenge para tapambana maghanoghano na ŵanyithu, kwambura kutimbanizga mtende mu mpingo.

9. Kasi tingalongora wuli lusungu ku ŵanyithu?

 ⁹ “Chitemwa . . . ntchalusungu.” Lusungu lukulongoreka kwizira mu milimo ndiposo mu kayowoyero kawemi. Chitemwa chikutipangiska kuti tipenjerezgenge nthowa zakulongolera lusungu, chomene ku ŵanthu awo mbakusuzgika. Mwachiyelezgero, musopi munyithu muchekuru uyo wakukhala yekha wangaŵa na phukwa ndiposo wanganweka kuti ŵanji ŵamuchezgerenge na kumukhozga. Mama uyo walije mfumu wake panji mudumbu uyo wakukhala mu mbumba yakugaŵikana wangakhumbikwira wovwiri. Munthu uyo wakulwara panji wali na masuzgo wangakhumbikwira mazgu ghakukhozga kufuma kwa mubwezi wakugomezgeka. (Zintharika 12:25; 17:17) Para tikuyezgayezga kulongora lusungu mu nthowa za nga ni izi, ndikuti tikulongora chitemwa cheneko.—2 Ŵakorinte 8:8.

10. Kasi chitemwa chikutovwira wuli kukhozgera na kuyowoya unenesko, nanga chingaŵa chakusuzga kuchita nthena?

¹⁰ “Chitemwa . . . chikusekelera na unenesko.” Baibolo linyake likuyowoya kuti: “Chitemwa chikusekelera na kuvikilira unenesko.” Chitemwa chikutichiska kukhozgera unenesko ndiposo kuti ‘tiyowoyenge unenesko na ŵanyithu.’ (Zekariya 8:16) Mwachiyelezgero, para munthu uyo tikumutemwa wachita kwananga kukuru, kutemwa Yehova kweniso munthu uyo wachita kwananga, kuzamutovwira kuti tilondezge malango gha Chiuta m’malo mwa kubisa kwananga panji kusanga vifukwa vya kuvikilira kwananga, panji kuyowoya utesi wakukhwaskana na kwananga uko kwachitika. Mbunenesko kuti chingaŵa chakusuzga kuzomera ivyo vikachitika. Kweni usange tikumukhumbira viwemi munthu wakwananga uyo tikumutemwa, tizamuzomerezga kuti wapokere na kukolerana na chilango cha chitemwa cha Chiuta. (Zintharika 3:11, 12) Nga Mbakhristu ŵachitemwa, tikwenera “kuŵa ŵakugomezgeka mu vinthu vyose.”—Ŵahebere 13:18.

11. Pakuti chitemwa “chikubenekelera vinthu vyose,“ kasi tikwenera kuchita wuli na maubudi gha ŵasopi ŵanyithu?

¹¹ “Chitemwa . . . chikubenekelera vinthu vyose.” Lemba la 1 Petrosi 4:8 likuti: “Chitemwa chikubenekelera zakwananga zinandi.” Mkhristu uyo wakuchita vinthu mwachitemwa kuti wakutangwanika na kuvumbura maubudi gha ŵabali ŵake ŵa Chikhristu chara. Nyengo zinandi ŵasopi ŵanyithu ŵakuchita maubudi  ghachokoghachoko ghakuti chitemwa chingaghabenekelera.—Zintharika 10:12; 17:9.

12. Kasi Paulosi wakalongora wuli kuti wakamugomezganga Filimoni, ndipo tingasambirako vichi?

¹² “Chitemwa . . . chikupulikana vinthu vyose.” Baibolo ilo wakang’anamura Moffatt likuyowoya kuti chitemwa “nyengo zose chikukhumbisiska kugomezga vinthu viwemi.” Tikuŵakayikira mwakujumphizga yayi ŵasopi ŵanyithu, kukayikira chilichose icho ŵakuchita. Chitemwa chikutovwira kugomezga chomene ŵabali ŵithu kuti ŵakuchita “vinthu viwemi.” a Wonani chiyelezgero icho chili mu kalata iyo Paulosi wakalembera Filimoni. Paulosi wakalemba kalata iyi kumukhozga Filimoni kuti wamupokelere makora Onesimo muzga wake uyo wakachimbira, uyo wakazgoka Mkhristu. M’malo mwa kumuchichizga Filimoni, Paulosi wakamupempha mwachitemwa. Wakalongosora kuti wali na chigomezgo chose kuti Filimoni wakhalenge nayo makora, wakati: “Nili na chigomezgo kuti upulikirenge, ntheura nkhukulembera ivi pakumanya kuti uchitenge vinandi kuluska ivyo nayowoya.” (Vesi 21) Para chitemwa ndicho chikutichiska kuti tiŵenge na chigomezgo cha nga ichi mu ŵabali ŵithu, mbwenu nyengo zose tiyowoyenge viwemi vyakukhwaskana na iwo.

13. Kasi tingalongora wuli kuti tikuŵakhumbira viwemi ŵabali ŵithu?

¹³ “Chitemwa . . . chikugomezga vinthu vyose.” Nga umo munthu wachitemwa wakugomezgera ŵanji, wakulindiliraso viwemi. Tikuŵakhumbira viwemi ŵabali ŵithu chifukwa chakuti tikuŵatemwa. Mwachiyelezgero, usange mubali “wapuluka kwambura kumanya,” tili na chigomezgo kuti wazamupulikira kuyezgayezga kwithu kwa chitemwa kuti timovwire wasinthe. (Ŵagalatiya 6:1) Tikuŵaso na chigomezgo kuti awo ŵalopwa mu chipulikano ŵazamuŵaso ŵankhongono. Tikuzizipizga na ŵanthu aŵa, kuchita ivyo tingakwaniska kuti tiŵawovwire kuti ŵaŵeso ŵakukhora mu chipulikano. (Ŵaroma 15:1; 1 Ŵatesalonika 5:14) Nanga ni apo wakutemweka withu waleka unenesko, tikutayirathu mtima yayi kweni tikuŵa na chigomezgo kuti zuŵa  linyake wazamumanya kuti wali kubuda na kuweleraso kwa Yehova, nga umo wakachitira mwana wakuzgeŵa uyo wakuyowoyeka mu ntharika ya Yesu.—Luka 15:17, 18.

14. Kasi kuzizipizga kwithu kungayezgeka wuli mu mpingo, ndipo chitemwa chizamutovwira kuchita vichi?

¹⁴ “Chitemwa . . . chikuzizipizga vinthu vyose.” Kuzizipizga kukutovwira kuti tikhwime mtima para tikukumana na masuzgo. Viyezgo vikufumira kuwaro kwa mpingo pera yayi. Nyengo zinyake tingakumana na viyezgo mu mpingo. Chifukwa chakuti ndise ŵambura urunji, nyengo zinyake ŵabali ŵithu ŵangatikhuŵazga. Mazgu ghakuŵinya agho ŵangayowoya ghangatipweteka chomene. (Zintharika 12:18) Nyengo zinyake pa mpingo pangachitika vinthu mu nthowa iyo ise taghanaghaniranga yayi. Tingakhuŵara na umo mubali uyo wali na udindo wangachitira vinthu vinyake, na kughanaghana kuti, ‘Kasi ndimo Mkhristu wangachitira nthena?’ Para takumana na vinthu vyanthena, kasi tizamuleka kuwungana na mpingo na kuteŵetera Yehova? Usange tili na chitemwa tingachita nthena yayi! Chitemwa chizamutivikilira kuti tileke kuŵika mtima pa maubudi gha mubali na kuleka kuwona vinthu viwemi ivyo wakuchita panji vya mpingo wose. Chitemwa chizamutipangiska kuti tilutilire kuŵa ŵakugomezgeka kwa Chiuta na kovwira mpingo, mwambura kupwelerako kanthu ivyo munthu wambura urunji wangayowoya panji kuchita.—Salimo 119:165.

15. Kasi sanji ni vichi, ndipo kasi chitemwa chingatovwira wuli kuti tileke kuchita sanji?

¹⁵ “Chitemwa chilije sanji.” Sanji yingapangiska kuti tileke kukondwa na vinthu ivyo ŵanyithu wali navyo. Sanji yanthena njiheni chomene ndipo usange tayilekelera yingatimbanizga mtende wa mpingo. Kasi ntchivichi icho chingatovwira kugega mtima wa sanji? (Yakobe 4:5) Zgoro ndakuti, chitemwa. Uwu ni ukhaliro wakuzirwa chomene ndipo ungapangiska kuti tikondwenge na ŵanthu awo vinthu vikuŵayendera makora kuluska ise. (Ŵaroma 12:15) Chitemwa chikutovwira kuti tileke kujiwona nga ŵanthu ŵakutiyuyura para ŵanyake ŵakulumba munthu uyo wali na luso lwapadera panji chifukwa cha vinthu ivyo wachita makora.

16. Usange tikutemwa nadi ŵabali ŵithu, chifukwa wuli tikwenera yayi kujilumba chifukwa cha ivyo tikuchita mu uteŵeti wa Yehova?

 ¹⁶ “Chitemwa . . . chikujilumba yayi, chikujitukumura yayi.” Chitemwa chikutizomerezga yayi kulongora maluso ghithu panji vinthu ivyo tachita kuti tijilongore waka ku ŵanyithu. Usange tikuŵatemwa nadi ŵabali ŵithu, kasi pali chifukwa cha kujilongora chifukwa cha vinthu ivyo tachita mu uteŵeti panji chifukwa cha maudindo agho tili nagho mu mpingo? Kuchita nthena kungagongoweska waka ŵanji, kupangiska kuti ŵajiwonenge kuŵa ŵanthu ŵapasi chomene. Chitemwa chikupangiska kuti tileke kujikuzga chifukwa cha ivyo tikuchita pakuteŵetera Chiuta. (1 Ŵakorinte 3:5-9) Chitemwa “chikujilumba yayi.” Baibolo linyake likuyowoya kuti, chitemwa chikukondwa na “maghanoghano gha kujithemba chara.” Chitemwa chikutivikilira kuti tileke kujiwona nga tili ŵapachanya chomene kuluska ŵanyithu.—Ŵaroma 12:3.

17. Kasi chitemwa chikutichiska kulongora vichi para tikughanaghanira ŵanji, ndipo tingagega mukhaliro wuli?

¹⁷ “Chitemwa . . . chikuchita mwambura kwenelera yayi.” Munthu uyo wakuchita nkhaza wakuchita vinthu mu nthowa yambura kwenelera panji yakukhuŵazga ŵanji. Kachitiro aka nkhambura chitemwa, chifukwa kakulongora kuti wakupwelelera yayi maghanoghano na umoyo wa ŵanji. Kweni tikulongora mtima uwemi para tikughanaghanira ŵanji mwachitemwa. Chitemwa chikutipangiska kuti tiŵe na makhaliro ghawemi, kuchita vinthu ivyo Chiuta wakuzomerezga, na kuchindika ŵasopi ŵanyithu. Ntheura tizamuchita yayi vinthu vya “ukazuzi wa mtundu uliwose” usange tili na chitemwa, panji ukhaliro uliwose uwo ungakhuŵazga ŵabali ŵithu ŵa Chikhristu.—Ŵaefeso 5:3, 4.

18. Chifukwa wuli munthu wa chitemwa wakukosera waka kuti vinthu vyose vichitikenge nga umo iye wakukhumbira pera yayi?

¹⁸ “Chitemwa chikupenja vyake pera yayi.” Baibolo linyake likuyowoya kuti: “Chitemwa chikukosera nthowa yake pera chara.” Munthu wachitemwa wakugwamira waka kuti vinthu vichitikenge umo iyo wakukhumbira yayi, nga kuti maghanoghano ghake pera ndiyo ghakuŵa ghaunenesko nyengo zose. Iyo wakunyengelera ŵanji yayi na kugongoweska ŵanthu awo ŵali na maghanoghano ghakupambana na ghake, kuti ŵendere waka ivyo iyo wakhumba. Munthu uyo wakuchita nthena wakulongora  kuti ngwakujikuzga, ndipo Baibolo likuyowoya kuti: “Para munthu wakujikuzga ndikuti wali pafupi kuparanyika.” (Zintharika 16:18) Usange tikuŵatemwa nadi ŵabali ŵithu, tichindikenge maghanoghano ghawo, ndipo tikoleranenge nawo apo mphakwenelera. Munthu uyo wakupulikira vya ŵanji wakukolerana na mazgu gha Paulosi ghakuti: “Waliyose waleke kupenja icho ntchachandulo kwa iyo, kweni icho ntchachandulo kwa munthu munyake.”—1 Ŵakorinte 10:24.

19. Kasi chitemwa chikutovwira kuchita vichi para ŵanji ŵatikhuŵazga?

¹⁹ “Chitemwa . . . chikukwiya luŵiro yayi . . . chikusunga vyakusingo yayi.” Chitemwa chikutovwira kuti tileke kukwiya luŵiro na ivyo ŵanthu ŵakuyowoya panji kuchita. Mbunenesko kuti ntchakawiro kukwiya para ŵanji ŵatibudira. Kweni nanga tingaŵa na vifukwa vyakupulikikwa vya kukwiyira, chitemwa chikutovwira kuti tileke kukhalilira waka kukwiya. (Ŵaefeso 4:26, 27) Tikwenera yayi kusunga mazgu agho ghakatipweteka panji vyakuchitika, nga ni para tikulemba ngongoli mu buku kuti tileke kuluwa. M’malo mwake chitemwa chizamutipangiska kuti tiyezge Chiuta withu wachitemwa. Nga umo tikawonera mu Mutu 26, Yehova wakugowokera para pali vifukwa vyakupulikikwa vyakuchitira nthena. Para watigowokera, wakuluwirathu nkhanira, kung’anamura kuti wazamutiwonaso nga tili ŵakwananga yayi. Kasi tikuwonga yayi kuti Yehova wakusungilira yayi maubudi ghithu?

20. Kasi tikwenera kuchita wuli usange musopi munyithu wachita kwananga ndipo wakusuzgika chifukwa cha vyakufumapo vyake?

²⁰ “Chitemwa . . . chikusekelera na kwananga yayi.” Baibolo linyake likung’anamura mazgu agha kuti: “Chitemwa . . . chikukondwa yayi para awo ŵakutitinkha ŵakumana na soka.” Baibolo lakung’anamurika na Moffatt likuti: “Chitemwa . . . chikusekelera yayi para ŵanji ŵakubuda.” Chitemwa chikukondwa na kwananga yayi, ntheura tikuyezgayezga kuti tileke ukazuzi wa mtundu uliwose. Kasi tingachita wuli usange mubali withu wachita kwananga ndipo wakusuzgika na vyakufumapo vyake? Chifukwa cha chitemwa tizamukondwa yayi, na kuyowoya kuti ‘Yaa! Wachita makora kuvifyontha!’ (Zintharika 17:5) M’malo mwake, tikusangwa para mubali uyo wakabuda wakuyezgayezga kuti waŵeso na umoyo uwemi wauzimu.

21-23. (a) Kasi Paulosi wakang’anamuranga vichi apo wakati “chitemwa chikumara yayi”? (b) Kasi tizamusambira vichi mu mutu wakulondezgapo?

²¹ “Chitemwa chikumara yayi.” Kasi Paulosi wakang’anamuranga vichi apo wakayowoya mazgu agha? Mwakuyana na nkhani iyo wakayowoyanga, iyo wakalongosoranga za vyawanangwa vya mzimu ivyo Ŵakhristu ŵakwambilira ŵakaŵa navyo. Vyawanangwa ivi vikaŵa nga ni vimanyikwiro vyakuti Chiuta wakawutemwanga mpingo uphya uwo ukapangika. Kweni ni Ŵakhristu wose yayi awo ŵakachizganga ŵanthu, kuchima, panji kuyowoya malulimi. Ndipouli, ivi vikaŵa vyambura kuzirwa, chifukwa nyengo yikati yajumphapo vyawanangwa vyakuchita vinthu vyakuzizwiska vikamara. Kweni chinthu chinyake chikenera kukhalira, chinthu icho Mkhristu waliyose wangaŵa nacho.  Chikaŵa chapachanya chomene, chambura kumara, chakuluska chawanangwa chilichose chakuchita vinthu vyakuzizwiska. Paulosi wakayichema kuti “nthowa yakuluska vyose.” (1 Ŵakorinte 12:31) Kasi “nthowa yakuluska vyose” iyi yikaŵa nthowa wuli? Yikaŵa nthowa ya chitemwa.

²² Chitemwa Chachikhristu icho Paulosi wakalongosora “chikumara yayi.” Mazuŵa ghano napo, Ŵakhristu ŵaunenesko ŵakumanyikwa na chitemwa chanadi icho ŵakulongorana pakati pawo. Kasi tikuchiwona chitemwa ichi mu mpingo wa Ŵakaboni ŵa Yehova pa charu chose? Chitemwa ichi chizamumara yayi, chifukwa Yehova walayizga umoyo wamuyirayira ku ŵateŵeti ŵake ŵakugomezgeka. (Salimo 37:9-11, 29) Tiyeni tichitenge vyose ivyo tingafiska kuti tilutilire “kwenda mu chitemwa.” Para tikuchita nthena, tizamuŵa na chimwemwe chanadi icho chikwiza chifukwa cha kupa. Kuluska apa, tizamulutilira kuŵa na umoyo, kulutilira kuŵa na chitemwa kwamuyirayira, mwakulondezga Chiuta withu wachitemwa, Yehova.

²³ Mu mutu uwu kweniso chigaŵa chose icho chikuyowoya za chitemwa, tasambira umo tingalongolera chitemwa kwa yumoza na munyake. Kweni para tikughanaghanira vyandulo ivyo tikusanga chifukwa cha chitemwa cha Yehova, nkhongono, urunji, na vinjeru vyake, tingachita makora kujifumba kuti, ‘Kasi ningamulongora wuli Yehova kuti nkhumutemwa nadi?’ Fumbo ili lizamuzgoreka mu mutu waumaliro.
