Nambosoni yeleyi yikugopolela chichi kwa m’weji masiku agano?

6. Ana ligongo chichi msewuwu ŵawukolangaga kuti weswela?

⁶ Lina lyakuti “Msewu Weswela” lyaliji lina lyambone mnope lya msewu wekulungwa. Ligongo chichi msewuwu ŵawukolangaga kuti weswela?

7. Ana ni yindu yine yapi yiŵasosekwaga kuchenga Ayuda? Apeleche chisyasyo.

⁷ Mpela mwatuŵechetele kala, Ayuda ŵajinji ŵapagwile ku Babulo, mwamti ŵasyoŵelele ndamo sya ku Babulo. Pali pamasile yaka yejinji gulu jandanda ja Ayuda jili jiwujile ku Isalayeli, Esala ŵayikopochele kuti Ayuda ŵajinji ŵaliji ali alombele ŵandu ŵanganamtumichilaga Mlungu. (Eks. 34:15, 16; Esa. 9:1, 2) Kaneko Nehemiya jwadandawile ali amanyilile kuti ŵanache ŵajinji ŵaŵapagwile ku Isalayeli nganamanyililaga chiŵecheto cha Chiyuda. (Det. 6:6, 7; Neh. 13:23, 24) Ana ŵanache ŵeleŵa akamnonyele soni kumtumichila Yehofa chamtuli chitamilecho ali ngakumanyilila chiŵecheto cha Chihebeli chiŵakamulichisye masengo pakulemba maloŵe ga Mlungu? (Esa. 10:3, 44) Myoyo Ayudaŵa ŵasosekwaga kuchenga. Nambo kuchenga kweleku kukajesile chenene pali ku Isalayeli kwele kulambila kwakuwona kwaliji kuli mkuwujila panandipanandi.—Neh. 8:8, 9.

8. Ligongo chichi yindu yayatendekwe yaka yejinji munyumamo yili yakutesya chidwi masiku agano? (Alole chiwulili cha pachikuto.)

⁸ Ŵandu ŵane mpaka aŵecheteje kuti ‘yeleyi yili yakutesya chidwi. Ana yindu yakuti yatendechele Ayuda kalakala m’weji yikutukwaya  chamtuli masiku agano?’ Kusala yisyene yikutukwaya ligongo yatukutenda masiku agano yili mpela kuti tukwenda pa “Msewu Weswela.” Myoyo chinga tuli ŵasagulwe kapena “ŵangondolo sine” tukusosekwa kupitilisya kwenda pa “Msewu Weswela” yayikutukamuchisya kuŵa mu paladaiso jwausimu nambosoni yayichitukamuchisya kupata yindu yambone msogolo. b (Yoh. 10:16) Kutandila mu 1919 C.E., ŵandu mamiliyoni gejinji aŵele ali mkukopoka mu Babulo Jwamkulungwa jwali ulamusi wa pachilambo chosope wa dini jaunami. Jemanjaji ŵatandite kwenda pa msewu wakuwanichisyawu. Mwangakayichila jemanja ali mu guluji. Atamose kuti msewuwu wawugulidwe yaka 100 yayipiteyo, nambo masengo gakulinganya msewuwu gatandite yaka yejinji munyumamo.

9. Mwakamulana ni Yesaya 57:14, ana masengo gakulinganya “Msewu Weswela” gakamulidwe chamtuli?

⁹ Kuti Ayuda atyoche ku Babulo, Yehofa ŵayiweni kuti akusosekwa kutyosya yakusawusya yosope yayikasokonasisye kwenda pa msewuwo. (Aŵalanje Yesaya 57:14.) Nambi uli pakwamba ya “Msewu Weswela” wa masiku agano? Kwa yaka ma 100 gejinji mkanichiyiche chaka cha 1919, Yehofa jwatandite kwakamulichisya masengo achalume ŵaŵamchimbichisyaga jwalakwe kuti akamule masengo gakulinganya msewuwu ni chakulinga chakuti ŵakamuchisye ŵandu kukopoka mu Babulo Jwamkulungwa.

Ana “masengo gakulinganya msewu” gapwatikagapo chichi? Kwende tukambilane gane mwa masengo gakulinganya msewuga.

10-11. Ana masengo ga kupulinta soni kugopolela Baibulo gakamuchisye chamtuli kuwandisya utenga wa m’Baibulo? (Alole chiwulili.)

¹⁰ Masengo ga kupulinta. Kutyochela mu yaka yamunyuma mpaka mu 1450, Baibulo ŵajikopelaga payala. Yeleyi yatendekasyaga kuti masengo gakukopelaga gajigaleje ndaŵi jelewu nambosoni kuti ma Baibulo gaŵeje gamnono soni gakudula mnope. Nambo kutandila pandaŵi jaŵatandite kamulichisya masengo machini gakupulintila ŵatandite kupulinta soni kugaŵa ma Baibulo gejinji.

¹¹ Masengo gakugopolela. Kwa yaka yejinji ma Baibulo gejinji gasimanikwaga m’chiŵecheto cha Chilatinipe. Mwamti ŵandu ŵalijiganye mnope ni ŵaŵakombolaga kujipikanichisya. Nambo machini gakupulintila pagatandite kutupa, ŵandu ŵakogopa Mlungu ŵatandite masengo gagopolela Baibulo mu yiŵecheto yejinji. Apa sano ŵandu ŵaŵaŵalangaga Baibulo ŵakombolaga kulandanya yindu yaŵasalilaga achakulungwakulungwa wa dini ni yindu yisyesyene yajikusajiganya Baibulo.

12-13. Alondesye yaŵatite ŵakulijiganya Baibulo pakutanda kusisya yijiganyo ya dini syaunami cha mma 1835.

¹² Mabuku gakamuchisya pakulijiganya Baibulo. Ŵakulijiganya Baibulo ŵakopochele mfundo syakusosekwa mnope paŵalijiganyaga Maloŵe ga Mlungu. Nambo kaneko achakulungwakulungwa ŵa dini ŵatumbile mnope paŵayiweni kuti ŵakulijiganya Baibuloŵa akwasalila ŵandu ŵane yindu yayikopochele pakulijiganya kwawo Baibulo. Mwachisyasyo mu 1835, achalume ŵakulupichika ŵatandite kukoposya tumapepala twele twatandite kusisya yijiganyo ya dini syaunami.

¹³ Kutandila cha mma 1835, mundu jwine lina lyakwe Henry Grew, jwalembile kapepala kakasalaga mwaŵelele ŵandu ŵawe. Jwalakwe jwasasile kuti Malemba gakusasala kuti umi wangawa uli mtuka wakusapeleka Mlungu, ngaŵa kuti tukusatenda kupagwa nawo mpela yagakusati pakwiganya madini gane. Mu 1837 George Storrs  jwapatile kapepalaka pajwakwelaga sitima ja pamkuli. Ali akaŵalasile, jwalakwe jwakamulene ni yajwaŵalasileyo soni jwasimichisye kuti apatile yisyesyene. Mwamti kaneko jwalinganyisye yakuti ŵasalileje ŵane yindu yaŵaŵalasileyo. Mu 1842, jwalakwe jwaŵechete ngani mmalo gakulekanganalekangana ja mtwe wakutesya chidwi wakuti, “Kuwungunya Naga Ŵandu Ŵakusakala Ngakusawaga.” Myoyo yiŵalembile George Storrs yamkamuchisye jwachinyamata jwine lina lyakwe Charles Taze Russell.

14. Ana M’bale Russell ni achimjakwe ŵapindwile chamtuli ni masengo gakulinganya msewu wausimu gagatendekwe munyuma mwakwe? (Alole chiwulili.)

¹⁴ Ana M’bale Russell ni achimjakwe ŵapindwile chamtuli ni masengo gakulinganya msewu wausimu munyumamo? Jemanjaji pakulijiganya kwawo ŵawungunyaga m’mabuku soni mma Baibulo gakulekanganalekangana gagaliji gali galembedwe pandaŵijo. Jemanjaji ŵapindwilesoni mnope ni yindu yaŵawungunyisye m’Baibulo achalume mpela Henry Grew, George Storrs soni ŵane. Nombe M’bale Russell ni achimjakwe ŵakamwilesoni masengo gakulinganya msewu wausimu, mwakoposya mabuku soni tumapepala twejinji twakusala ngani sya m’Baibulo.

15. Ana ni yindu yambone yapi yayatendekwe mu 1919?

¹⁵ Mu 1919, Babulo Jwamkulungwa jwalepele kwagomeka ŵandu ŵa Mlungu. Mu chakachi “kapolo jwakulupichika ni jwalunda” jwawonechele kwa ŵandu ŵanganisyo syambone pa msewu wasambano wawawugulidwe wawuli “Msewu Weswela.” (Mat. 24:45-47) Tukwayamichila mnope ŵandu ŵakulupichika ŵaŵatandite “kulinganya msewu” welewu mundaŵi ja munyuma. Masengo gaŵakamwile jemanjaji gakamuchisye ŵandu kummanyilila chenene Yehofa soni chakulinga chakwe. (Mis. 4:18) Yeleyi yikamuchisye kuti ŵandu atendeje yindu yakamulana ni yakusasaka Yehofa. Jwalakwe jwangajembecheyaga kuti ŵandu chachenjeje umi wawo ndaŵi jimo. Mmalomwakwe ŵaswejesye ŵandu ŵakwe mwapanandipanandi. (Alole libokosi lyakuti, “Yehofa Akusiŵaswejesya Ŵandu Ŵakwe Mwapanandipanandi.”) Wosopewe mpaka tuŵe ŵakusangalala naga tukutenda yindu yosope yakumsangalasya Mlungu.—Akolo. 1:10.

16. Kutandila mu 1919, ana “Msewu Weswela” aŵele ali mkuwulinganya chamtuli? (Yesaya 48:17; 60:17)

¹⁶ Msewu uliwose ukusasosekwa kuwulinganya ndaŵi ni ndaŵi. Kutandila mu 1919, masengo gakulinganya “Msewu Weswela” gaŵele gali mkupitilisya pakusaka kwakamuchisya ŵandu ŵajinji kukopoka mu Babulo Jwamkulungwa. Kapolo jwakulupichika ni jwalunda juŵagambile kusagulidwa kwene jwatandite kukamula masengo mu 1921. Mwamti jwakopwesye buku jakwakamuchisya ŵandu kutanda kulijiganya yisyesyene ya m’Baibulo. Bukuji jaliji ja Chingelesi soni jakwete mtwe wakuti, The Harp of God, soni ŵajikopwesye chiŵandika mabuku 6 miliyoni m’yiŵecheto 36. Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵalijiganyisye yisyesyene kupitila m’bukuji. Pachangakaŵapa tupochele buku jambone jasambano ja Asangalaleje Mpaka Kalakala jatukukamulichisya masengo pakutendesya majiganyo ga Baibulo. Masiku gakumalisya gano Yehofa akukamulichisya masengo gulu jakwe pakupitilisya kupeleka malangiso gakwe pakusaka kutukamuchisya kuti tujendejepe pa “Msewu Weswela.”—Aŵalanje Yesaya 48:17; 60:17.

17-18. Ana “Msewu Weswela” ukusatulongolela kwapi?

¹⁷ Mpaka tusale kuti naga mundu jwine ajitichisye kutanda kulijiganya Baibulo nikuti akwete upile wakutanda kwenda pa “Msewu Weswela.” Ŵandu ŵane akusatanda kwenda pamsewuwu kwakandaŵi kamnono kaneko ni kuleka. Nambo ŵane ali ŵakusimichisya kwenda pa msewuwu mpaka ali ayiche kumbesi. Ana mbesi jeleji jili japi?

¹⁸ Kwa ŵandu ŵakwete chembecheyo chakwawula kwinani “Msewu Weswela” ukusiwalongolela ku “paladaiso jwa Mlungu” kwinani. (Chiw. 2:7) Nambo kwa ŵandu ŵakwete chembecheyo chakutama ni umi pachilambopa, msewuwu ukusiwalongolela ku umi wamlama panyuma pa ulamusi wa yaka 1,000 wa Yesu. Naga akwenda pamsewuwu masiku agano ngakusosekwa kuwujila munyuma. Ngakusosekwa kuleka kwenda mu msewuwu mpaka ali ayiche m’chilambo chasambano. Tukwasosela “ulendo wambone.”
