Pehala lyokulitha oonzi ndhoka, aasita mboka oya li taye dhi thindile kongudhi noya li yi “ilitha yo yene.” (Hes. 34:7-10; Jer. 23:1) Okweekelahi kwaJehova aasita yoonzi mboka otaku vulu okuukithwa kaawiliki yomalongelokalunga gopaKriste giifundja. Ihe otaku ulike wo nkene sha simana kaakuluntugongalo yu ungaunge noshigunda shaJehova momukalo gwu uka nogwopahole.

Aayapostoli mbaka yaali oya li ya hala okukala ye na oondondo dha simana mUukwaniilwa. Ihe Jesus okwa li e ya pukulula, a ti: “One omu shi shi, aapangeli ohaa lele iigwana, naanenentu ohaye yi pangele pankondo dhawo. Ihe inashi kala ngaaka mokati keni. Ngoka gwomune a hala, a ninge omunene, oye na ninge omuyakuli gweni.” (Mat. 20:25, 26) Aayapostoli oya li ya pumbwa okuhenuka iikala yokukala ya hala ‘okupangela’ ooyakwawo.

10. Jesus okwa hala aakuluntugongalo yu ungaunge ngiini noshigunda, na Paulus okwa tula po oshiholelwa shini?

Omuyapostoli Paulus okwa li e na iikala mbyoka yeifupipiko, nomolwaasho a li a lombwele aakuluntugongalo yomuEfeso a ti: “One omwa tseya, nkene nda kala ethimbo alihe pune okuza kesiku lyotango, sho nda thiki kuAsia. . . . Onda longele Omuwa neifupipiko enene.” Omuyapostoli okwa li a hala aakuluntugongalo mboka ya kwathele yalwe nehalo ewanawa noneifupipiko. Okwa ti: “Onde mú ulukile kutya mokulonga noonkondo adhihe pamukalo nguka otatu vulu okukwatha aankundi.” (Iil. 20:18, 19, 35) Paulus okwa li a lombwele Aakorinto kutya ka li te ya thiminikile mushoka ye na okwiitaala. Pehala lyaashono, okwa li omulongi pamwe nayo omwiifupipiki omolwenyanyu lyawo.

11, 12. Omukuluntugongalo ota vulu okukwathela ngiini omwiitaali omukwawo a ninge etokolo?

¹¹ Omukuluntugongalo oku na ‘okudhiginina ohapu ndjoka yi shi okwiinekelwa uuna tashi ya pelongo lye.’ (Tit. 1:9) Ihe oku na oku shi ninga “nonge.” (Gal. 6:1) Pehala lyokukambadhala okukondjitha ooyakwawo megongalo ya katuke momukalo gwontumba, omusita gwoonzi gwopambepo omwaanawa oku na okukambadhala okwaadha omitima dhawo. Omukuluntugongalo ota vulu a popye omakotampango gopamanyolo ngoka omumwatate gwontumba e na okudhiladhila kugo uuna a hala okuninga etokolo lya kwata miiti. Otashi vulika a kundathane naye uuyelele mboka wa nyanyangidhwa kombinga yoshinima shoka.

Omukuluntugongalo ota vulu okutsa omuthindo kutya osha simana okukonga ewiliko lyaKalunga megalikano manga omuntu inaa ninga etokolo. (Omayel. 3:5, 6) Konima ngele omukuluntugongalo a kundathana iinima mbyoka nomwiitaali omukwawo, oku na oku mu etha a ninge etokolo lye ye mwene. — Rom. 14:1-4.

¹² Aakuluntugongalo oye na owala oonkondopangelo ndhoka dha gandjwa mOmanyolo. Onkee ano, osha simanenena ya longithe Ombiimbeli nuukeka noyi ikolelele kwaashoka  tayi ti. Okuninga ngaaka ohaku kwathele aakuluntugongalo kaaya longithe nayi oonkondo ndhoka ye na. Nokuli oye li owala aasita yopevi, noshilyo kehe megongalo otashi ki ihokolola sho shene kuJehova naJesus omolwomatokolo ngoka tashi ningi. — Gal. 6:5, 7, 8.

13, 14. Omiinima yini omukuluntugongalo e na okukala oshiholelwa oshiwanawa koshigunda?

¹³ Konima sho a kumagidha aakuluntugongalo kaaya ‘pangele mboka ya tulwa metonatelo lyawo,’ omuyapostoli Petrus okwe ya ladhipike ya kale ‘ye shi okuholelwa koshigunda.’ (1 Pet. 5:3, yelekanitha NW.) Ongiini omukuluntugongalo ta vulu okutulila po oshigunda oshiholelwa? Natu tale kiitegelelwa iyali mbyoka yi na okukala ya gwanithwa po komulumentu “ngoka a hala okuninga omuwiliki gwegongalo lyaKalunga.” Oku na okukala “hi ikwata nawa,” noku na okukala “e shi okukala nawa naanegumbo lye.” Ngele omukuluntugongalo oku na aanegumbo, oku na okukala e shi okukala nayo nawa “oshoka omulumentu ngoka kee shi, nkene e na okukala naanegumbo lye, ota vulu ngiini okulela egongalo lyaKalunga?” (1 Tim. 3:1, 2, 4, 5) Opo omulumentu a kale a gwana okupewa oshilonga shuutonateli, oku na okukala u uvite ko nawa omakotampango gopakalunga noku shi oku ga tula miilonga monkalamwenyo ye ye mwene. Oku na okukala a ngungumana noku na okukala ihee endelele mokuninga omatokolo. Omukuluntugongalo ngele oku na uukwatya mbuka oha kala i inekelwa kiilyo yegongalo.

¹⁴ Aakuluntugongalo ohaya tulile po wo Aakriste ooyakwawo oshiholelwa oshiwanawa sho taya kwatele komeho miilonga yomomapya. Jesus okwa tulila po aakuluntugongalo oshiholelwa moshinima shika. Okuuvitha onkundana ombwanawa yUukwaniilwa okwa li oshitopolwa sha simana shiilonga yaJesus yokombanda yevi. Okwa li u ulukile aalongwa ye nkene iilonga mbika ya li yi na okulongwa. (Mark. 1:38; Luk. 8:1) Pethimbo lyetu, itashi ladhipike tuu aauvithi uuna taya uvitha pamwe naakuluntugongalo, okumona nkene aakuluntugongalo ye na uulaadhi miilonga mbika yokuhupitha oomwenyo, nokwiilonga komikalo dhokulonga ndhoka haya longitha! Etokolotoko lyaakuluntugongalo lyokukala nuulaadhi okulongitha ethimbo nosho wo okuninga oonkambadhala miilonga yokuuvitha onkundana ombwanawa nonando oye na omaipyakidhilo ogendji, ohali ladhipike egongalo alihe li kale li na uulaadhi wa faathana. Aakuluntugongalo otaya vulu wo okutulila po aamwahe oshiholelwa oshiwanawa mokukala hayi ilongekidhile nokukutha ombinga mokugongala kehe kwegongalo nosho wo momaipyakidhilo galwe, ngaashi okwoopaleka Oshinyanga shUukwaniilwa noku shi kaleka monkalo ombwanawa. — Ef. 5:15, 16: lesha Aahebeli 13:7.

¹⁵ Omusita gwoonzi omwaanawa oha katuka nziya oonkatu a kwathele onzi ndjoka ye ehamekwa nenge tayi ehama. Sha faathana, aakuluntugongalo  oya pumbwa okugandja eitulomo nziya kukehe ngoka ta mono iihuna nenge a pumbwa eyambidhidho lyopambepo megongalo. Aakokele naamboka ye li muuwehame otashi vulika ya pumbwa ekwatho noompumbwe dhawo dhopalutu, ihe oya pumbwa tuu unene ekwatho lyopambepo netsomukumo. (1 Tes. 5:14) Iilyo yegongalo iigundjuka otashi vulika yi kale yi na omashongo, ngaashi okukondjitha “uuhalu womuugundjuka.” (2 Tim. 2:22) Okulitha okwa kwatela mo okutalela po iilyo yegongalo omathimbo nomathimbo nelalakano lyokuuva ko oonkalo dhawo noku yi ladhipika nomayele gopamanyolo ngoka tago opalele. Uuna iinima mbyoka yu ungaungwa nayo pethimbo, omaupyakadhi ogendji ohaga vulu okukandulwa po manga inaaga nayipala.

16. Uuna oshilyo shegongalo sha pumbwa ekwatho lyopambepo, aakuluntugongalo otaya vulu oku shi kwatha ngiini?

¹⁶ Ongiini ngele uupyakadhi owa koko e tawu tula moshiponga uupambepo woshilyo shegongalo? Jakob, omunyoli gumwe gwOmbiimbeli, okwa pula a ti: “Oku na gumwe ta alukwa? Ni ithane aakuluntu yegongalo, ye mu galikanene noye mu gwayeke omagadhi medhina lyOmuwa. Egalikano lyomwiitaali otali aludha omuvu. Omuwa ota galulile omuvu uundjolowele we, noondjo dhe otadhi dhimwa po.” (Jak. 5:14, 15) Nokuli nando ngoka te ehama ini ‘ithana aakuluntu yegongalo’ oye na oku mu kwathela nziya ngele ya tseya onkalo ye. Uuna taya galikana naye nokugalikanena aamwahe noku ya amibidhidha pomathimbo guudhigu, aakuluntugongalo ohayu ulike kutya ohaya talaleke pambepo mboka ye li metonatelo lyawo. — Lesha Jesaja 32:1, 2.
