1. a) Ntshinyi tshidi batendeledi ba Nzambi bajingulule bua dilongesha bakuabu? Mmunyi mudi bualu ebu buenzeka lelu? b) Ntshinyi tshituamona mu tshiena-bualu etshi?

KUKADI bidimu bia bungi bidi batendeledi ba Nzambi bajingulule ne: kulongesha bakuabu kudi kupatula bipeta bimpe. Abalahama ‘wakasangisha bantu bende bavua bamanye mvita’ bua kupandisha Lota ne bakatshimuna. (Gen. 14:14-16, NWT) Mu matuku a mukalenge Davidi, bimbi ba misambu ba mu nzubu wa Nzambi bavua ‘bayishibue bua kuimbilabu Yehowa misambu’ ne bavua bamutumbisha. (1 Kul. 25:7) Lelu, tudi tuluangana mvita ya mu nyuma ne Satana ne bena diende. (Ef. 6:11-13) Tudi petu tudienzeja bua kutumbisha Yehowa. (Eb. 13:15, 16) Nunku, anu bu batendeledi ba Nzambi ba kale, tudi ne bua kulongeshibua bua tuetu kupatula bipeta bimpe. Yehowa mmupeshe bakulu mudimu wa kulongesha bakuabu mu tshisumbu. (2 Tim. 2:2) Mmishindu kayi idi bakulu badi bamonamone malu benza nayi mudimu bua kulongesha bana betu ba balume bua kuluabu bakumbane bua kulama mikoko?

2. Kumpala kua kulongesha muanetu wa balume malu kampanda, ntshinyi tshidi mukulu mua kuanji kuenza? Bua tshinyi?

² Bu muudi mukulu, tudi mua kufuanyikija mudimu webe ne wa  tshidime. Kumpala kua tshidime kukunaye maminu, udi mua kumona ne: bidi bikengela kuanji kufukisha buloba bua bupatule biakudia bia bungi. Bia muomumue, kumpala kua kulongesha muanetu wa balume udi kayi muanji kumonamona malu a bungi, udi mua kumona ne: bidi bikengela kuanji kuyukila nende pa imue mvese bua kulongolola muoyo wende bua atumikile malu awamulongesha.​—1 Tim. 4:6.

3. a) Mmunyi mudi mukulu mua kuenza mudimu ne mêyi a Yezu adi mu Mâko 12:29, 30 padiye uyukila ne muanetu udiye ulongesha? b) Disambila didi mukulu wenza didi mua kuenzela udiye ulongesha tshinyi?

³ Bua kumanya bikala bulelela bua mu Bible bushintulule lungenyi ne bienzedi bia muanetu uudi ulongesha, udi mua kumuebeja ne: ‘Mmunyi mudi didilambula diebe kudi Yehowa dishintulule mushindu webe wa dienza malu?’ Lukonko elu ludi mua kunufikisha ku diyukila malu a mushinga adi avuija mudimu wetu wa tshijila, mudimu muenza ne muoyo mujima. (Bala Mâko 12:29, 30.) Pamuapa udi mua kusambila panudi nujikija kuyukila, ulomba Yehowa bua apeshe muanetu uudi ulongesha nyuma wende muimpe udiye nende dijinga bua kutumikilaye biudi umulongesha. Kakuyi mpata, nebikoleshe muanetu au bua kukumvua usambila ne muoyo mujima bua bualu buende.

4. a) Fila bilejilu bia miyuki ya mu Bible bidi biambuluisha muanetu udibu balongesha bua aye kumpala mu nyuma. b) Padi bakulu balongesha bakuabu, ntshipatshila kayi tshidibu ne bua kuikala natshi?

⁴ Bua kutuadija kulongesha muanetu wa balume, tukonkonone imue miyuki ya mu Bible idi mua kumuambuluisha bua kumonaye mudibi ne mushinga bua kuikalaye mudiakaje, muntu wa kueyemena ne muena budipuekeshi. (1 Bak. 19:19-21; Neh. 7:2; 13:13; Bien. 18:24-26) Ngikadilu eyi idi ne mushinga wa bungi kudi muanetu udibu balongesha anu bu mudi buloba dijinga ne bufuka. Idi imuambuluisha bua kudiundaye mu nyuma lukasa. Muanetu Jean-Claude udi mukulu mu France, udi wamba ne: “Tshipatshila tshianyi tshinene pandi ndongesha ntshia kuambuluisha muanetu undi ndongesha bua akole mu ditabuja. Ntu nkeba mpunga bua kubala nende mvese kampanda bua ‘kutabeja mêsu ende’ bua amone ‘malu a kukema’ adi mu Dîyi dia Nzambi.” (Mus. 119:18) Mmishindu kayi mikuabu idi mukulu mua kukolesha muanetu udiye ulongesha?

5. a) Bua tshinyi bidi ne mushinga bua mukulu kuyukila ne muanetu udiye ulongesha bua bipatshila bia mu nyuma? b) Bua tshinyi bakulu badi ne bua kulongesha bana betu batshidi bansonga? (Tangila note.)

⁵ Webeje muanetu uudi ulongesha ne: ‘Mbipatshila kayi bia mu nyuma biudi nabi?’ Yeye kayi nabi, umuambuluishe bua kudifundila tshipatshila nansha tshimue tshidiye mua kukumbaja. Umuambile bua tshipatshila tshia mu nyuma tshiuvua wewe mudifundile, pashishe umulondele ne musangelu muuvua mumvue disanka dia bungi pauvua mukumbaje tshipatshila atshi. Mushindu eu udi umueneka mupepele, kadi udi upatula bipeta bimpe. Victor mukulu udi mpanda-njila mu ditunga kampanda dia mu Afrique udi uvuluka wamba ne: “Pantshivua nsonga, mukulu mukuabu wakangela ndambu wa nkonko misungula bimpe bua kumanya bipatshila bianyi. Nkonko eyi yakangambuluisha bua meme kuela meji bikole bua mudimu wanyi wa buambi.” Bakulu bakadi bamonamone malu badi baleja mudibi ne mushinga bua kutuadija kulongesha bana betu ba balume patshidibu bansonga, padibu babapesha midimu mu tshisumbu idi mikumbanangane ne bidimu biabu. Kutuadija mushindu eu kudi kuambuluisha bansonga bua kushala batuishile mêsu abu ku bipatshila bia mu nyuma nansha pikalabu ne bidimu bipatshila ku 20, tshikondo tshidi ne malu a bungi adi afila ditanaji.​—Bala Musambu wa 71:5, 17. *

6. Mbualu kayi bua mushinga buvua Yezu wenza pavuaye ulongesha bakuabu?

 ⁶ Wewe mumvuije kabidi muanetu uudi ulongesha tshidiye ne bua kuenza ne bua tshinyi udi ne bua ku tshienza, neukoleshe dijinga diende dia kuenzela tshisumbu mudimu. Paudi umuambila malu adi ne bua kumusaka bua kuenza nunku, udi widikija Yezu, Mulongeshi munene. Tshilejilu, kumpala kua Yezu kupesha bapostolo bende mudimu wa kuvuija bantu bayidi, wakabambila bua tshinyi bavua ne bua kuwenza. Wakamba ne: “Bakadi bampeshe bukokeshi buonso mu diulu ne pa buloba.” Pashishe kusakidilaye ne: “Nunku, ndayi nuvuije bantu ba mu bisamba bionso bayidi.” (Mat. 28:18, 19) Mmunyi muudi mua kuidikija mushindu uvua Yezu ulongesha eu?

7, 8. a) Mmunyi mudi bakulu lelu mua kuidikija mushindu uvua Yezu ulongesha bakuabu? b) Bua tshinyi mbimpe kuela muntu uudi ulongesha kalumbandi? c) Mmibelu kayi idi mua kuambuluisha bakulu bua kulongesha bakuabu? (Tangila kazubu ka ne: “ Mua kulongesha bakuabu.”)

⁷ Uleje muanetu uudi ulongesha tshidi Bible wamba tshidiye ne bua kuenza. Paudi wenza nunku, udi umulongesha bua kuela meji bilondeshile mêyi menene a mu Bible. Tshilejilu, elabi meji ne: udi ulomba muanetu wa balume bua kulama kumpala kua Nzubu wa Bukalenge ne mankenda ne kuenza bua kuikale muaba muimpe udi bantu mua kuendela. Udi mua kumubadila Tito 2:10 bua kumuleja ne: padiye wenza mudimu au, udi ‘ulengeja dilongesha dia Nzambi Musungidi wetu.’ Umulombe kabidi bua kuela meji bua bakulakaje badi mu tshisumbu ne mushindu wikala dikumbaja mudimu wende eu mua kubambuluisha. Kuyukila nende mushindu eu bua kumulongesha nekumuambuluishe bua kutamba kutabalela bantu pamutu pa kuimanyina pa mikenji miela. Neumvue disanka dia bungi dia kumona mudi mudimu udiye wenza wambuluisha bana betu mu tshisumbu.

⁸ Bualu bukuabu, ikala wela muanetu uudi ulongesha kalumbandi bua bionso bidiye wenza bua kutumikila mibelu iudi umupesha. Kuenza nunku kudi ne mushinga kayi? Kuela muntu uudi ulongesha kalumbandi ne muoyo mujima kudi kumukolesha anu bu mudi mâyi akolesha mutshi.​—Fuanyikija ne Matayi 3:17.

9. a) Mu tshilumbu tshia kulongesha bakuabu, bakulu ba mu matunga adi ne bubanji batu batuilangana ne lutatu kayi? b) Bua tshinyi bulelela kabuvua pa muaba wa kumpala mu nsombelu wa bamue bana betu ba balume batshivua bansonga?

⁹ Bakulu badi mu matunga adi ne bubanji badi mua kutuilangana ne lutatu lua mua kusaka bana betu ba balume bakadi batambule badi ne bidimu pankatshi pa 20 ne bidimu 40 bua kudifila mu midimu ya mu tshisumbu. Tuvua bebeje bakulu bakadi bamonamone malu ba mu matunga a ku Mputu matue ku 20 bua batuambile bua tshinyi bamue bana betu ba balume batshidi bansonga badi batshina bua kuambula majitu mu  tshisumbu. Dimue dia ku mandamuna avuabu batupeshe didi ne: kabavua bakankamija bamue bansonga bua kudifundila bipatshila bia mu nyuma pavuabu benda bakola to. Bushuwa, bamue bansonga bavua ne meji a kudifundila bipatshila bia mu nyuma, kadi baledi babu bavua babasake bua kudifundila bipatshila bia tshianana. Bulelela kabuvua pa muaba wa kumpala mu nsombelu wa bansonga aba to.​—Mat. 10:24.

10, 11. a) Mmunyi mudi mukulu mua kuambuluisha muanetu wa balume udi umueneka kayi udifila bua ashintulule meji ende? b) Mmvese kayi ya mu Bible idi mukulu mua kukonkonona ne muanetu eu? Bua tshinyi? (Tangila note.)

¹⁰ Muanetu wa balume yeye umueneka kayi udifila, kushintulula ngelelu wende wa meji nekulombe madikolela a bungi ne kuikala ne lutulu, kadi udi anu mua kushintulula lungenyi luende. Anu bu mudi tshidime wakaja tumatamba tua bikunyibua ku kakese ku kakese bua kukolabi, udi mua kuambuluisha bamue bana betu ba balume ku kakese ku kakese bua bashintulule mmuenenu wabu bua banyishe majitu. Kadi mmunyi muudi mua kuenza nanku?

¹¹ Keba dîba dia kudia bulunda buimpe ne muanetu wa balume. Umuambile ne: tshisumbu tshidi nende dijinga. Pashishe, mu kupita kua matuku, wikale usombe nende bua kumueleshisha meji pa imue mvese misunguluke bua kumuambuluisha bua kuvulukaye didilambula diende kudi Yehowa. (Muam. 5:4; Yesh. 6:8; Mat. 6:24, 33; Luka 9:57-62; 1 Kol. 15:58; 2 Kol. 5:15; 13:5) Udi mua kumuebeja ne: ‘Ntshinyi tshiuvua mulaye Yehowa pauvua mudilambule kudiye?’ Keba bua kulenga muoyo wende paudi umuebeja ne: ‘Yehowa uvua mua kuikala mumvue bishi dituku diuvua mutambule?’ (Nsu. 27:11) ‘Kadi Satana uvua mumvue bishi?’ (1 Pet. 5:8) Kupepeji nansha kakese mushindu udi dibala dia mvese misungula bimpe mua kukankamija bikole muanetu wa balume.​—Bala Ebelu 4:12. *

12, 13. a) Ntshinyi tshivua Elisha muenze pavuabu bamulombe bua kumulongesha? b) Mmunyi muvua Yehowa mufute Elisha bua lulamatu luende?

¹² Bansonga wetu, tshisumbu tshidi nenu dijinga. Ntshinyi tshianuambuluisha bua nuenu kuya kumpala? Bua kuandamuna lukonko elu, tukonkononayi amue malu a mu nsombelu wa muntu kampanda wa mu tshikondo tshia kale uvuabu balongeshe.

¹³ Kukadi kupite bidimu bitue ku 3 000 bivua muprofete Eliya mulombe nsonga Elisha bua kuikalaye muena mudimu wende. Diakamue Elisha wakitaba dilomba edi ne kuambuluishaye mukulakaje eu ne lulamatu mu dienza midimu mishadile. (2 Bak. 3:11) Pashishe, panyima pa bidimu bisambombo bia dimulongesha, Elisha wakajingulula ne: mudimu uvua Eliya wenza mu Isalele ukavua mutangile ku ndekelu. Ke Eliya kulomba muntu uvuaye mulongeshe bimpe eu bua kubengaye kumulonda, kadi Elisha wakambila Eliya misangu isatu ne: “Tshiena nkulekela.” Uvua mudisuike bua kushala ku luseke lua mulongeshi wende matuku a bungi menemene. Yehowa wakafuta Elisha bua dinanukila diende ne lulamatu luende pavuaye mumuanyishile bua kumona diambuibua dia Eliya divua dikemesha.​—2 Bak. 2:1-12.

14. a) Mmunyi mudi bana betu badibu balongesha lelu mua kuidikija Elisha? b) Bua tshinyi bidi ne mushinga bua muanetu udibu balongesha kuikalaye ne lulamatu?

¹⁴ Mmunyi muudi mua kuidikija Elisha lelu? Mbimpe witabe ne lukasa midimu idibu bakupesha nansha yoyi imueneka mishadile. Ikala umona eu udi ukulongesha bu mulunda webe, umuleje muudi wanyisha bionso bidiye wenza bua bualu buebe. Paudi utumikila bidiye ukuambila, mbienze anu bu udi umuambila ne: “Tshiena nkulekela.” Bualu budi ne mushinga budi ne: kumbaja mudimu wonso udibu bakupesha ne lulamatu. Bua tshinyi kuenza nunku kudi ne mushinga? Bualu paudi udileja muena lulamatu ne muntu wa kueyemena, nebisake bakulu bua kumona ne: Yehowa  mmusue bua wambule majitu makuabu mu tshisumbu.​—Mus. 101:6; bala 2 Timote 2:2.

15, 16. a) Mmu mishindu kayi muvua Elisha muleje mulongeshi wende kanemu? (Tangila tshimfuanyi tshia ntuadijilu.) b) Mbualu kayi buvua Elisha muenze buvua busake baprofete nende bua kumuanyisha?

¹⁵ Muyuki wa Elisha uvua mupingane pa muaba wa Eliya udi kabidi uleja mudi bana betu ba balume lelu mua kuleja bakulu bakadi bamonamone malu kanemu kakumbanyine. Panyima pa Eliya ne Elisha bamane kumonangana ne baprofete bavua mu Yeliko, bakaya ku musulu wa Yadene. Pakafikabu, ‘Eliya wakakopola tshikowelu tshiende, wakatshivunga, wakatuta pa mâyi, ne mâyi akapanduluka.’ Pakasabukabu musulu ku makasa kûme, bakatungunuka ne luendu ‘benda bayukila.’ Bidi bimueneka patoke ne: Elisha kavua muele meji ne: ukavua mumanye malu onso dîba adi to. Too ne pakashiyanganabu ne Eliya, Elisha uvua mushale muvuluke mêyi onso avua mulongeshi wende muambe. Pashishe Eliya wakambuibua mu mvunde. Pakapingana Elisha ku musulu wa Yadene ne tshikowelu tshia Eliya, wakatshituta pa mâyi, kuelaye dîyi dikole wamba ne: “Yehowa, Nzambi wa Eliya, udi kudi kunyi?” Mâyi kupandulukawu kabidi.​—2 Bak. 2:8-14.

¹⁶ Kuenaku umona ne: tshishima tshia kumpala tshivua Elisha muenze tshivua tshia muomumue ne tshia ndekelu tshivua Eliya muenze anyi? Bualu ebu budi butulongesha tshinyi? Bidi bimueneka ne: Elisha kavua muele meji ne: bu muvuaye mpindieu ne malu onso mu bianza, uvua ne bua kushintulula diakamue malu to. Kadi pavua Elisha mutungunuke ne kuidikija mushindu uvua Eliya ukumbaja mudimu wende, wakaleja muvuaye ne kanemu kakumbanyine kudi mulongeshi wende, kumuanyishabu bu muprofete kudi baprofete nende. (2 Bak. 2:15) Pashishe, munkatshi mua bidimu 60 bia mudimu wa Elisha wa buprofete, Yehowa wakamusaka bua kuenza bishima bia bungi kupita too ne bivua Eliya muenze. Nuenu badibu balongesha lelu, bualu ebu budi bunulongesha tshinyi?

17. a) Mmunyi mudi bana betu badibu balongesha lelu mua kuidikija Elisha? b) Mu kupita kua matuku, mmunyi mudi Yehowa mua kuenza mudimu ne bana betu ba lulamatu badibu balongesha?

¹⁷ Kuedi meji ne: diakamue paudi upeta majitu mu tshisumbu, udi ne bua kushintulula malu to, mbuena kuamba ne: kuenza malu bishilangane bikole ne mushindu uvua bakuabu baenza kumpala. Malu kaena ashintuluka mu tshisumbu bilondeshile dijinga diebe to, kadi adi ashintuluka bilondeshile majinga a tshisumbu ne bulombodi budi bulongolodi bua Yehowa butupesha. Anu muvua malu avua Elisha wenza masake baprofete bua kumuanyisha bu muprofete ne muvuaye muleje Eliya kanemu pavuaye mutungunuke ne kumuidikija, udi pebe mua kuenza bua bena Kristo nebe bakuanyishe ne kuleja bakulu badi ne dimonamona dia malu kanemu paudi utungunuka ne kuidikija mishindu yabu ya dienza malu idi mimanyine mu Bible. (Bala 1 Kolinto 4:17.) Kadi paudi upeta dimanya dia mua kuenza malu, kakuyi mpata nenuambuluishangane ne bakuabu bua kutumikila amue malu adibu bashintulule ikala mua kuambuluisha tshisumbu bua kuendatshi pamue ne bulongolodi bua Yehowa budi buenda buya kumpala. Bushuwa, anu bu muvuabi bua Elisha, mu kupita kua matuku, Yehowa udi mua kusaka bamue bana betu ba lulamatu badibu balongeshe bua kuenza malu a bungi kupita bavua babalongeshe.​—Yone 14:12.

18. Bua tshinyi kulongesha bana betu ba balume badi mu bisumbu bionso mmudimu wa mushinga mukole lelu?

¹⁸ Tudi batekemene ne: ngenyi ya mu tshiena-bualu etshi ne ya mu tshia kumpala neyisake bakulu ba bungi bua kukeba dîba dia kulongesha bakuabu. Tudi tulomba bana betu ba balume badi bakumbane bua bitabe ne muoyo mujima bionso bidibu babalongesha ne babitumikile bimpe bua kumona mua kulama mikoko ya Yehowa. Bobu benze nunku, nebikoleshe bisumbu bionso bia pa buloba bujima ne nebiambuluishe yonso wa kutudi bua kushala ne lulamatu mu tshikondo tshia malu makole alua.
