Ipula kutya, ‘Mbela onda tseyikila ngaa handi yakula aayenda mboka haye ya megongalo lyetu?’ (Lesha Aahebeli 13:2, 16.)

(Gen. 13:8, 9; Omayel. 15:22) Ku shi ‘omutamanani’ noiho ‘geye mbala.’ Pehala lyokupopya nayi nenge wu nyenyete nayalwe, owu na ombili nayo. Wu li omulumentu omunambili, oho katuka onkatu wu pange ombili, nokuli nomoonkalo oondhigu. (Jak. 3:17, 18) Oohapu dhoye dhombili otadhi vulu okungungumaneka omitima dhayalwe, nokuli nodhaamboka taye ku pataneke. — Aatok. 8:1-3; Omayel. 20:3; 25:15; Mat. 5:23, 24.

Ongiini to vulu oku shi ninga?

Kala ho konakona Ombiimbeli nosho wo iileshomwa yetu.

Oto vulu okukala omukuluntugongalo omwaanawa, ngele owa pula omaetopo okuza kaakuluntugongalo mboka ye na owino noku ga tula miilongo.

Tsikila nokuninga ehumokomeho! Pula Jehova e ku dheule noku ku zule, opo wu mu longele nowu kwathele egongalo. (Jes. 64:8) Jehova na laleke nuuyamba oonkambadhala dhoye, sho to longo nuudhiginini wu kale wa gwana okulangekwa po wu li omukuluntugongalo.
