2. (a) Taura muenzaniso unoratidza kuti tingawedzera sei kukoshesa kwatinoita unhu hwaJehovha. (b) Tichakurukurei?

Izvi tingazvifananidza nezvokudya zvatisati tambodya. Tinowedzera kuzvifarira patinotanga kunzwa kunhuwirira kwazvo, patinozozvidya, uye patinozokwanisa kuzvibika toga. Saizvozvowo, kukoshesa kwatinoita unhu hwaJehovha kunowedzera patinohudzidza tohuziva, tohufungisisa uye tohutevedzera muupenyu hwedu. (VaEf. 5:1) Chinangwa chenyaya ino nedzimwe mbiri dzinotevera ndechokuti tiwedzere kukoshesa unhu hwaMwari hwatisingawanzofungi nezvahwo sezvatinoita unhu hwake hukuru. Paunhu humwe nehumwe, tichakurukura kuti: Hunorevei? Jehovha anohuratidza sei? Uye tingatevedzera sei Jehovha pakuratidza unhu humwe nehumwe?

4 Jehovha anoratidza sei kuti anotaurika naye? Kunyange zvazvo ari Musiki wezvose ane masimba ose, anotivimbisa kuti anoda kuteerera minyengetero yedu uye kuipindura. (Verenga Pisarema 145:18; Isaya 30:18, 19.) Tinogona kutaura naMwari kwenguva refu, panzvimbo yatinenge tada uye chero nguva. Tinogona kutaura naye takasununguka tichiziva kuti haambofi akatizvidza. (Pis. 65:2; Jak. 1:5) Shoko raMwari rinotsanangura Jehovha semunhu zvichiratidza kuti anoda kuti titaure naye. Somuenzaniso, munyori wepisarema Dhavhidhi akanyora kuti “maziso aJehovha ari” patiri uye kuti ‘ruoko rwake rworudyi runoramba rwakatibatisisa.’ (Pis. 34:15; 63:8) Muprofita Isaya akafananidza Jehovha nemufudzi wemakwai achiti: “Achaunganidza makwayana noruoko rwake; uye achaatakura pachipfuva chake.” (Isa. 40:11) Pafunge!

(Isa. 32:1, 2) Imwe hanzvadzi yakataura chinoita kuti ifunge kuti unhu uhwu hunokosha chaizvo, ichiti: “Kana mukuru achitaurika naye, ndipo chete patinokwanisa kubatsirwa nehumwe unhu hwakanaka hwaangava nahwo.” Mashoko iwayo ndeechokwadi. Asi chii chinoita kuti munhu ataurike naye?
6. Chii chinoita kuti munhu ataurike naye?

Mushandi womundege paakaona bheji rakanzi “Umambo hwaMwari Ngahuuye!” akati kuhama yacho, “Chokwadi ngahuuye, tinofanira kutaura zvakawanda nezvenyaya iyi.” Vakazokurukura uye mushandi wacho akagamuchira magazini edu achifara. Vakawanda vedu vakava nezviitiko zvakada kuita seizvi. Asi nei bheji regungano richiwanzoita kuti vanhu vatange kukurukura? Nokuti rinoita seriri kuudza vanhu kuti: “Sunungukai kutaura neni. Ndibvunzei kuti ndiri kuenda kupi.” Bheji chiratidzo chinoita kuti vanhu vazive kuti tinoda kuvaudza zvatinotenda. Saizvozvowo, vakuru vechiKristu vanofanira kuita zvinhu zvinoita sevari kuti kuhama dzavo: “Sunungukai kutaura neni.” Zvimwe zvinhu zvacho ndezvipi?

Izvozvo zvinobatsira sei ungano? Imwe hanzvadzi piyona ine makore 88 yakati: “Kunyemwerera kunoita vakuru uye mashoko anokurudzira avanondiudza pandinopinda muImba yoUmambo zvinoita kuti ndivade chaizvo.” Imwe hanzvadzi yakatendeka yakatiwo: “Vanhu vanogona kuzviona sezvinhu zviduku, asi kana mukuru akandigamuchira pamusangano achinyemwerera, ndinozvikoshesa chaizvo.”

Imwe hama piyona yakati: “Kana mukuru akandibvunza upenyu, omira kuti anditeerere, ndinonzwa ndakosheswa chaizvo.” Imwe hanzvadzi yave ichishumira Jehovha kwemakore anoda kusvika 50 yakati: “Vakuru vanowana nguva yokutaura neni pamisangano vanoita kuti ndinzwe ndichikosha.”

Kusasarura kwechokwadi kunoonekwa nezvinhu zviviri: mafungiro uye mabatiro atinoita vamwe. Nei tichidaro? Nokuti kana munhu asingasaruri pamafungiro ake izvozvo zvichaita kuti abate vanhu vose asingasarure. MuMagwaro echiKristu echiGiriki, shoko rakashandurwa kuti “haasaruri” rinoreva “kusatarisa chiso,” kureva kusafarira chiso chemumwe kupfuura chemumwe. (Mab. 10:34) Saka munhu asingasaruri anobata vamwe maererano neunhu hwavo kwete maererano nezvavari nechokunze kana mamiriro avo ezvinhu.
12 Jehovha ndiye muenzaniso mukuru panyaya yokusasarura. Shoko rake rinotaura kuti “haasaruri” uye kuti haana “waanosarura.” (Verenga Mabasa 10:34, 35; Dheuteronomio 10:17.) Izvozvo zvinoratidzwa nezvakaitika mumazuva aMosesi.
13, 14. (a) Vanasikana vashanu vaZerofehadhi vakasangana nedambudziko ripi? (b) Jehovha akaratidza sei kuti haasaruri?
13 VaIsraeri pavainge vava pedyo nokupinda muNyika Yakapikirwa, vamwe vanasikana vashanu vainge vasina kuroorwa vakasangana nedambudziko. Raiva rei? Vaiziva kuti mhuri yavo yaifanira kuwana munda wainge wavimbiswa baba vavo sezvainge zvavimbiswa dzimwe mhuri dzechiIsraeri. (Num. 26:52-55) Asi baba vavo, Zerofehadhi vedzinza raManase, vainge vafa. Maererano netsika, kodzero yokuwana munda yaifanira kuva yevanakomana vaZerofehadhi, asi iye aingova nevanasikana chete. (Num. 26:33) Sezvo mumhuri macho maisava nemwanakomana aizopiwa munda, zvaireva here kuti hama dzavo ndidzo dzaizopiwa munda wacho, ivo vosara vasina nhaka?
14 Vanasikana vacho vashanu vakaenda kuna Mosesi vakabvunza kuti: “Nei zita rababa vedu richifanira kubviswa pakati pemhuri yavo nokuti vakanga vasina mwanakomana?” Vakateterera kuti: “Haiwa, tipei nhaka pakati pehama dzababa vedu.” Mosesi haana kuti, ‘Hakuna mutemo wakadaro.’ Asi “akaenda nenyaya yavo pamberi paJehovha.” (Num. 27:2-5) Jehovha akati kudii? Akati kuna Mosesi: “Vanasikana vaZerofehadhi vari kutaura zvakarurama. Unotofanira kuvapa nhaka pakati pehama dzababa vavo, uye unofanira kuita kuti vagare nhaka yababa vavo.” Jehovha haana kugumira ipapo. Akatoita kuti uve mutemo, akarayira Mosesi kuti: “Kana murume chero upi zvake akafa asina kuva nomwanakomana, munofanira kubva maita kuti nhaka yake igarwe nomwanasikana wake.” (Num. 27:6-8; Josh. 17:1-6) Kubva ipapo, vakadzi vose vechiIsraeri vaisangana nedambudziko iroro vainge vava kudzivirirwa.
15. (a) Jehovha anobata sei vanhu vake, kunyanya vaya vasina anodzivirira? (b) Ndedzipi dzimwe nyaya dzomuBhaibheri dzinoratidza kuti Jehovha haasaruri?

Chokwadi, tose zvedu tinogona kuzviona sevanhu vasingasaruri. Zvisinei unogona kubvuma kuti nguva dzose hazvisi nyore kunyatsoongorora manzwiro edu tisingazvinyeperi. Saka tingaitei kuti tizive kana vamwe vachitiona sevanhu vasingasaruri? Jesu paaida kuziva kuti vanhu vaiti aiva ani, akabvunza shamwari dzake dzaaivimba nadzo kuti: “Vanhu vari kuti Mwanakomana womunhu ndiani?” (Mat. 16:13, 14) Tinogona kutevedzera Jesu panyaya iyi. Unogona kubvunza shamwari yaunovimba nayo kuti ikuudze kana uchizivikanwa semunhu asingasaruri. Kana ukanzi unenge unoti sarurei vanhu nemhaka yerudzi rwavo, chinzvimbo chavainacho mukugarisana, kana kuti mari yavo, unofanira kuitei? Nyengetera nemwoyo wose kuna Jehovha nezvemanzwiro ako, uchikumbira kuti akubatsire kugadzirisa mafungiro ako kuti anyatsoratidza kusasarura kwaanoita.—Mat. 7:7; VaK. 3:10, 11.
17. Tingaratidza sei kuti hatisaruri?
17 Muungano yechiKristu, tinoratidza kuti tinoda kutevedzera Jehovha panyaya yokusasarura nokubata hama nehanzvadzi dzedu dzose noruremekedzo uye nemutsa. Somuenzaniso, panyaya yokukoka vatinonamata navo kudzimba dzedu, tinoda kukokawo varombo, nherera kana chirikadzi uyewo vamwe vakasiyana-siyana. (Verenga VaGaratiya 2:10; Jakobho 1:27.) Uyewo, mubasa rokuparidza Umambo, tinoudza vanhu vakasiyana-siyana mashoko akanaka tisingasaruri kusanganisira vaya vanobva kune dzimwe nyika. Zvinofadza chaizvo kuti tine mabhuku anotsanangura Bhaibheri mumitauro inenge 600. Chokwadi izvi zvinonyatsoratidza kuti hatisaruri!
