suma, kana kuti iya iri panotangira chitsauko chino. Iyi mi-mwe yemibvunzo inokosha kwazvo yaungabvunza. Asi vanhuvakawanda vakarega kuedza kutsvaka mhinduro dzacho. Nei?Bhaibheri rine mhinduro dzacho here? Vamwe vanofunga kutimhinduro dzaro dzakanyanya kuoma kuti munhu adzinzwisi-se. Vamwe vanonetseka kuti kubvunza mibvunzo kungaita ku-ti vanyadziswe. Uye vamwe vanosarudza kuti zvakanaka kusi-yira mibvunzo yakadaro kuvatungamiriri vezvitendero neva-dzidzisi. Zvakadini newe?

4 Zvichida, unoda kuwana mhinduro dzemibvunzo inoko-sha youpenyu. Hapana mubvunzo kuti dzimwe nguva uno-mboshamisika kuti: ‘Chinangwa choupenyu chii? Upenyu hu-no ndihwo hwoga huripo here? Mwari akamboita sei cha-izvo?’ Zvakanaka kubvunza mibvunzo yakadai, uye zvakako-sha kuti usarega kusvikira wawana mhinduro dzinogutsa uyedzechokwadi. Mudzidzisi akakurumbira, Jesu Kristu akati: “Ra-mbai muchikumbira, uye muchapiwa; rambai muchitsvaka,uye muchawana; rambai muchigogodza, uye muchazaruri-rwa.”—Mateu 7:7.

5 Kana ‘ukaramba uchitsvaka’ mhinduro dzemibvunzo ino-kosha, uchawana kuti kutsvaka kwacho kungakuunzira muba-yiro mukuru. (Zvirevo 2:1-5) Pasinei nokuti vamwe vanhu va-ngave vakakuudza chii, mhinduro dziripo, uye unogona kudzi-wana—muBhaibheri. Mhinduro dzacho hadzina kunyanya ku-oma kuti udzinzwisise. Zvinotobatsira zvakanyanya ndezvoku-ti dzinopa tariro uye mufaro. Uye dzinogona kukubatsira ku-rarama upenyu hunogutsa iye zvino. Kutanga, ngatikurukureimubvunzo wanetsa vanhu vakawanda.

nzo iwoyo ndihungu. Vanofunga kuti, ‘Kudai Mwari aiva ne-hanya, nyika yaisazova nzvimbo yakasiyana zvikuru nezvairihere?’ Tinoona nyika izere nehondo, kuvengana, uye nhamo.Uye somunhu oga oga, tinorwara, tinotambura, tinofirwa ne-vadiwavedu. Saka, vakawanda vanoti, ‘Kudai Mwari aiva neha-nya nesu uye nematambudziko edu, aisazoita kuti zvinhu zva-kadaro zvirege kuitika here?’

7 Zvakatoipa ndezvokuti dzimwe nguva vafundisi vanoitakuti vanhu vafunge kuti Mwari ane mwoyo wakaoma. Sei? Pa-nouya dambudziko, vanoti kuda kwaMwari. Chokwadi, vafu-ndisi vakadaro vanopomera Mwari kuti ndiye anoita kuti zvi-nhu zvakaipa zviitike. Ichocho ndicho chokwadi here pamu-soro paMwari? Bhaibheri rinombodzidzisei chaizvo? Jakobho1:13 inopindura kuti: “Paanenge achiedzwa, munhu ngaaregekuti: ‘Ndiri kuedzwa naMwari.’ Nokuti hapana munhu angae-dza Mwari nezvinhu zvakaipa uyewo iye haaedzi munhu.” Sa-ka Mwari haasi iye anokonzera uipi hwaunoona kwose kwo-se munyika. (Jobho 34:10-12) Chokwadi, iye anobvumira ku-ti zvinhu zvakaipa zviitike. Asi kubvumira kuti chimwe chinhuchiitike uye kuchikonzera zvakasiyana zvikuru.

Zvisi-nei, nokuda kworudo, Mwari anoita izvi. Uchadzidza zvakawa-nda nezvezvikonzero izvi muChitsauko 11. Asi iva nechokwa-di chokuti Mwari haasi iye anokonzera matambudziko atino-tarisana nawo. Asi anotipa tariro imwe chete yokugadzirisa zvi-nhu!—Isaya 33:2.

10 Uyezve, Mwari mutsvene. (Isaya 6:3) Izvi zvinoreva kutiakachena. Haana kana kauipi zvako. Saka tinogona kuvimbanaye zvizere. Hatigoni kuita saizvozvo nevanhu, avo dzimwenguva vanova nouori. Kunyange munhu ane chiremera aka-tendeseka kwazvo, kazhinji haana simba rokugadzirisa kuka-nganisa kunoitwa nevanhu vakaipa. Asi Mwari ane simba rose.Anogona uye achabvisa migumisiro yose yakaunzwa pavanhunouipi. Mwari paachaita izvozvo, achazviita nenzira ichagumi-sa uipi nokusingaperi!—Pisarema 37:9-11.

MWARI ANONZWA SEI NOKUSARURAMISIRAKWATINOTARISANA NAKO?

11 Panguva ino, Mwari anonzwa sei nezviri kuitika munyi-ka uye muupenyu hwako? Kutanga, Bhaibheri rinodzidzisa ku-ti Mwari “anoda kururamisira.” (Pisarema 37:28) Saka ane ha-nya chaizvo nezvakarurama uye zvakaipa. Anovenga kusaru-ramisira kwose. Bhaibheri rinotaura kuti Mwari “akarwadziwamumwoyo make” zvakaipa pazvakazadza nyika munguva ya-kapfuura. (Genesisi 6:5, 6) Mwari haana kuchinja. (Maraki 3:6)Achiri kuvenga kuona kutambura kuri kuitika munyika yose.Uye Mwari anovenga kuona vanhu vachitambura. “Iye ane ha-nya nemi,” rinodaro Bhaibheri.—1 Petro 5:7.

10. Nei tingavimba kuti Mwari achabvisa migumisiro yose youipi?11. (a) Mwari anonzwa sei pamusoro pokusaruramisira? (b) Mwarianonzwa sei pamusoro pokutambura kwako?


12 Tingava sei nechokwadi chokuti Mwari anovenga kuonakutambura? Hehuno humwe uchapupu. Bhaibheri rinodzidzi-sa kuti munhu akasikwa nomufananidzo waMwari. (Genesisi1:26) Saka tine unhu hwakanaka nokuti Mwari ane unhu hwa-kanaka. Somuenzaniso, zvinokunetsa here kuona vanhu vasi-na mhosva vachitambura? Kana uine hanya nokusaruramisirakwakadaro, iva nechokwadi chokuti Mwari anotova nehanyazvakanyanya nezvokusaruramisira kwacho.

13 Chimwe chinhu chakanaka kwazvo chine vanhu kukwa-nisa kuratidza rudo. Izvozvo zvinoratidzawo zvakaita Mwari.Bhaibheri rinodzidzisa kuti “Mwari rudo.” (1 Johani 4:8) Ti-noratidza rudo nokuti Mwari anoratidza rudo. Rudo rwaizoita

Uno-gona kuvawo nechokwadi chokuti Mwa-ri achagumisa kutambura uye kusarura-misira.

Kana uchida kutimumwe munhuakuzive,haumuudzi herezita rako? Mwarianotizivisa zitarake muBhaibheri


wacho zita rako here? Mwari ane zita here? Zvitendero zva-kawanda zvinopindura kuti zita rake ndi“Mwari” kana kuti“Ishe,” asi iwayo haasi mazita chaiwo. Iwo mazita okuremeke-dza, akangofanana nemazita okuremekedza akadai sa“ma-mbo” uye “purezidhendi.” Bhaibheri rinodzidzisa kuti Mwariane mazita mazhinji okuremekedza. Mamwe acho ndi“Mwari”uye “Ishe.” Zvisinei, Bhaibheri rinodzidzisawo kuti Mwari anezita rake pachake: Jehovha. Pisarema 83:18 rinoti: “Imi, mu-ne zita rokuti Jehovha, imi moga ndimi Wokumusorosoro ku-musoro kwenyika yose.” Kana Bhaibheri rako risina zita iroro,ungada kuona Mashoko Okuwedzera ari pamapeji 195-7 ebhu-ku rino kuti udzidze kuti nei zvakadaro. Chokwadi ndechokuti

Bhaibheri rinodzidzisakuti Jehovha ndiye Musikiane rudo wezvinhu zvose

zita raMwari rinowanika kane zviuru mune zvakanyorwa zve-Bhaibheri zvekare. Saka Jehovha anoda kuti uzive zita rake uyekuti urishandise. Neimwe nzira, ari kushandisa Bhaibheri ku-kuudza zita rake.

15 Mwari akazvipa zita rine zvarinoreva chaizvo. Zita rake ro-kuti Jehovha, rinoreva kuti Mwari anogona kuzadzisa chipi-kirwa chero chipi zvacho chaanoita uye anogona kuita che-ro chipi zvacho chaanoda chaanenge achifunga.� Zita raMwarirakasiyana nemamwe, zvechokwadi rakasiyana nemamwe ose.Nderake iye chete. Jehovha akasiyana nevamwe munzira dzi-noverengeka. Sei?

Rudo urwo babavakanaka vanarwo

16 Taona kuti Pisarema 83:18 rati nezvaJehovha: “Imi mo-ga ndimi Wokumusorosoro.” Saizvozvowo, Jehovha chete ndi-ye anonzi “Wemasimbaose.” Zvakazarurwa 15:3 inoti: “Jeho-vha Mwari, Wemasimbaose, mabasa enyu makuru uye anosha-misa.Nzira dzenyu dzakarurama uye ndedzechokwadi, imi Ma-mbo asingagumi.” Zita rokuremekedza rokuti “Wemasimbao-se” rinotidzidzisa kuti Jehovha ndiye munhu ane simba zviku-ru kupfuura vose. Simba rake harina rimwe raringaenzaniswanaro; iguru kwazvo. Uye zita rokuremekedza rokuti “Mamboasingagumi” rinotiyeuchidza kuti Jehovha akasiyana nevamwemune imwe pfungwa. Iye chete ndiye agara aripo. Pisarema90:2 rinoti: “Muri Mwari kubvira narini kusvikira narini [ka-na kuti, nokusingaperi].” Pfungwa iyoyo haiiti kuti ushamisikehere?

17 Jehovha akasiyanawo nevamwe pakuti iye chete ndiye Mu-siki. Zvakazarurwa 4:11 inoti: “Jehovha, imi Mwari wedu, ma-kakodzera kuti mugamuchire kukudzwa nokuremekedzwa ne-simba, nokuti makasika zvinhu zvose, uye nemhaka yokudakwenyu zvakavapo uye zvakasikwa.” Zvinhu zvose zvaungafu-nga nezvazvo—kubvira kuzvisikwa zvomudzimu zvisingaone-ki zviri kudenga kusvika kunyeredzi dzinozadza denga usiku,michero inokura pamiti, hove dzinofamba mumakungwa uyemunzizi—zvose zvazvo zviripo nokuti Jehovha ndiye Musiki!

UNOGONA KUVA PEDYO NAJEHOVHA HERE?18 Kuverenga nezvounhu hwaJehovha hunoshamisa kuno-

ita kuti vamwe vanhu vati ityei. Vanotya kuti Mwari aka-nyanya kukwirira kwavari, zvokuti havangambovi pedyo na-ye kana kuti kunyange kuva vanokosha kuna Mwari akakwi-rira kudaro. Asi pfungwa iyi yakarurama here? Bhaibheri ri-nodzidzisa zvakanyatsosiyana. NezvaJehovha rinoti: ‘Chokwa-di, haasi kure nomumwe nomumwe wedu.’ (Mabasa 17:27)

16, 17. Tingadzidzei nezvaJehovha kubva mumazita okuremekedzaanotevera: (a) “Wemasimbaose”? (b) “Mambo asingagumi”? (c) “Mu-siki”?18. Nei vamwe vanhu vachifunga kuti havangambovi pedyo naMwa-ri, asi Bhaibheri rinodzidzisei?


Bhaibheri rinototikurudzira kuti: “Swederai pedyo naMwari,uye iye achaswedera pedyo nemi.”—Jakobho 4:8.

19 Ungaswedera sei pedyo naMwari? Kutanga, ramba uchiitazvauri kuita iye zvino—kudzidza nezvaMwari. Jesu akati: “Ku-ti vawane upenyu husingaperi, vanofanira kuramba vachiwa-na zivo pamusoro penyu, imi Mwari wechokwadi chete, uyepamusoro pouya wamakatuma, iye Jesu Kristu.” (Johani 17:3)Chokwadi, Bhaibheri rinodzidzisa kuti kudzidza nezvaJeho-vha naJesu zvinoita kuti tiwane “upenyu husingaperi”! Sezva-totaurwa, “Mwari rudo.” (1 Johani 4:16) Jehovha anewo hu-mwe unhu hwakawanda hwakanaka uye hunofadza. Somue-nzaniso, Bhaibheri rinoti Jehovha ndi“Mwari ane ngoni ne-nyasha, anononoka kutsamwa uye azere nomutsa worudo, ne-chokwadi.” (Eksodho 34:6) ‘Akanaka uye akagadzirira kuka-nganwira.’ (Pisarema 86:5) Mwari anoshivirira. (2 Petro 3:9)Akavimbika. (Zvakazarurwa 15:4) Paunenge uchiverenga zva-kawanda muBhaibheri, uchaona maratidziro ayo Jehovha aka-ita kuti ane unhu uhwu uye humwe huzhinji hunofadza.

20 Chokwadi, haugoni kuona Mwari nokuti iye mudzimuusingaoneki. (Johani 1:18; 4:24; 1 Timoti 1:17) Zvisinei, uno-gona kusvika pakumuziva somunhu nokudzidza nezvake mu-Bhaibheri. Sezvakataurwa nomunyori wepisarema, unogona‘kuona kufadza kwaJehovha.’ (Pisarema 27:4; VaRoma 1:20)Kana ukadzidza zvakawanda nezvaJehovha, iye achavawo mu-nhu chaiye kwauri uye uchavawo nechikonzero chokumudazvakanyanya uye kunzwa uri pedyo naye.

Kukura kwoumambohwake nekworugare hazvina mugumo.” (Isaya 9:6, 7, Bhaibhe-ri muNdimi yeUnion Shona nomunyorero mutsva) Nezvehu-rumende iyi, Jesu akadzidzisa vateveri vake kunyengetera kuti:“Umambo hwenyu ngahuuye.

Zvaakanga asikwa ainemuviri uye pfungwa zvakakwana, aisazomborwara, kukwegu-ra, kana kuti kufa. Somunhu akakwana, aiva noukama chai-hwo naJehovha.

Humwe upenyu hwomunhu hwa-kakwana ndihwo “rudzikinuro runoenzanirana” rwaidiwa.—1 Timoti 2:6.

Saka, aisagona kupfuudza upenyuhwakakwana ihwohwo kuvana vake. Pane kudaro, aigona ku-pfuudza chivi norufu chete. Jesu, uyo Bhaibheri rinoti “Adha-mu wokupedzisira,” aiva noupenyu hwomunhu hwakakwa-na, uye haana kumboita chivi. (1 VaKorinde 15:45) Mupfu-ngwa yakati, Jesu akapinda munzvimbo yaAdhamu kuti ati-nunure. Nokupa upenyu hwake hwakakwana achiteereraMwari zvakakwana, Jesu akabhadhara mutengo wechivi cha-Adhamu.

Vakawedze-ra kunzwisisa chokwadi chinokosha pamusoro pezita raMwa-ri uye chinangwa chake, chibayiro chorudzikinuro chaJesuKristu, mamiriro ezvinhu evakafa, uye rumuko.

(VaEfeso 6:16) Kana nhoo yeduyokutenda ikava yakasimba chaizvo, tichakwanisawo kurwisakwazvo masimba emidzimu yakaipa.—Mateu 17:20.

Kubatana kwoupenyu neropa kwakazoratidzwazvepashure peMafashamo omunguva yaNoa. Mafashamo asa-ti auya, vanhu vaingodya michero chete, miriwo, zviyo, uyenzungu. Pashure peMafashamo, Jehovha akaudza Noa ne-vanakomana vake kuti: “Mhuka dzose mhenyu dzinofambadzingava zvokudya zvenyu.

11 Tinoratidza kuremekedza ropa nokusaridya. MuMutemouyo Jehovha akapa vaIsraeri, akarayira kuti: “Munhu wose . . .anobata mhuka kana kuti shiri inodyiwa paanenge achivhi-ma, anofanira kudurura ropa rayo orifukidza neguruva. . . .Ndakati kuvanakomana vaIsraeri: ‘Hamufaniri kudya ropa re-nyama chero ipi zvayo.’” (Revhitiko 17:13, 14) Murayiro wa-Mwari wokusadya ropa remhuka wakatanga kupiwa Noa ma-kore 800 akanga apfuura, wakanga uchiri kushanda.

6 Kuda kwaJesu ungano yake yevadzidzi kunoratidza mue-nzanisowakakwana nokuda kwevarume. Jesu “akavada kusvi-kira kumugumo,” achibayira upenyu hwake nokuda kwavo,kunyange zvazvo vakanga vasina kukwana. (Johani 13:1; 15:13) Saizvozvowo, varume vanokurudzirwa kuti: “Rambai mu-chida madzimai enyu uye musaatsamwira kwazvo.” (VaKoro-se 3:19) Chii chichabatsira murume kushandisa zano ra-kadai, kunyanya kana mudzimai wake dzimwe nguva achi-kundikana kushandisa ungwaru? Anofanira kuyeuka kuti iyeanokanganisawo uye zvaanofanira kuita kuti akanganwirwenaMwari. Anofanira kuitei?

7 Varume vanofanirawo kucherechedza kuti Jesu aigaraachiratidza kuva nehanya nevadzidzi vake. Aifunga nezvezvi-nhu zvavaisakwanisa uye zvavaida zvokunyama. Somuenza-niso, pavakanga vaneta, akati: “Uyai, imi, muri moga ku-nzvimbo isina vanhu muzorore zvishoma.” (Mako 6:30-32)Madzimai anofanirawo kufungwa nezvawo.

kuzviisa pasi sezvinodiwa naMwari, kunyange mumamiriroezvinhu anoedza. Uyezve, Bhaibheri rinoti: “Mudzimai ano-fanira kuremekedza murume wake kwazvo.” (VaEfeso 5:33)Asi zvakadini kana murume wacho asingabvumi Kristu so-Musoro wake? Bhaibheri rinokurudzira madzimai kuti: “Zvii-sei pasi pevarume venyu, kuti kana paine vasingateereri sho-ko, muvawane nomufambiro wenyu pasina shoko rinotau-rwa, nokuva kwavo zvapupu zvakaona mufambiro wenyuwakachena pamwe chete noruremekedzo rukuru.”—1 Petro 3:1, 2.

12 Zvisinei nokuti mudzimai anonamata pamwe chete no-murume wake kana kuti kwete, kana akataura zvaanofunganokungwarira zvinosiyana nezvomurume wake, anenge asi-ri kuratidza kusaremekedza. Maonero ake angava akarurama,uye mhuri yose inogona kubatsirwa kana murume akamu-teerera. Kunyange zvazvo Abrahamu asina kubvuma apo mu-dzimai wake Sara, akataura zvaibatsira pakugadzirisa ri-mwe dambudziko romumhuri, Mwari akamuudza kuti: “Te-erera inzwi rake.” (Genesisi 21:9-12) Chokwadi, murume pa-anoita chisarudzo chokupedzisira chisingapesani nomutemowaMwari, mudzimai wake anoratidza kuzviisa pasi nokuchi-tsigira.—Mabasa 5:29; VaEfeso 5:24.

13 Pakuita basa rake, mudzimai anogona kuita zvakawandapakutarisira mhuri. Somuenzaniso, Bhaibheri rinoratidza ku-ti vakadzi vakaroorwavanofanira ‘kudavarume vavo, vanava-vo, kuva nepfungwa dzakanaka, vakachena, vanoita mabasaepamba, vakanaka, vanozviisa pasi pevarume vavo.’ (Tito 2:4, 5) Mudzimai ane vana anoita saizvozvi achadiwa uye acha-remekedzwa zvechigarire nemhuri yake. (Zvirevo 31:10, 28)Zvisinei, kuroorana zvakuri mubatanidzwa wevanhu vasinakukwana, mamwe mamiriro ezvinhu akanyanyisa angagumanokuparadzana kana kuti kurambana. Bhaibheri rinobvumi-

MUENZANISO WAKAKWANA NOKUDA KWEVABEREKI14 Jesu akaratidza muenzaniso wakakwana nokuda kweva-

Vamwe pavakaedza ku-dzivisa vana kuuya kuna Jesu, iye akati: “Regai vana vadukuvauye kwandiri; musaedza kuvadzivisa.” Bhaibheri rinotaurakuti akabva “agumbatira vana mumaoko ake, akatanga kuva-komborera, achiisa maoko ake pavari.” (Mako 10:13-16) SezvoJesu akapedza nguva aine vana, iwe haufaniri kuitawo saizvo-zvo kuvanakomana nevanasikana vako here? Havangodi ngu-va yako shomanana, asi yakawanda. Unofanira kuwana ngu-va yokuvadzidzisa, nokuti izvozvo ndizvo izvo Jehovha anora-yira vabereki kuti vaite.—Dheuteronomio 6:4-9.

(Ruka 22:24-27; Johani 13:3-8) Kana uri mubereki, uno-gona kuona here kutevera kwaungaita muenzaniso waJesupakururamisa kwaunoita vana vako? Chokwadi, vanoda ku-rangwa, asi kunofanira kuitwa “zvakafanira” uye usina ku-tsamwa.

MUENZANISO NOKUDA KWEVANA17 Vana vanogona kudzidza kuna Jesu here? Chokwadi, va-

nogona! Nomuenzaniso wake, Jesu akaratidza kuteerera vabe-reki kunofanira kuita vana. “Ndinotaura,” iye akadaro, “soku-dzidziswa kwandakaitwa naBaba.” Akawedzera kuti: “Ndino-gara ndichiita zvinhu zvinomufadza.” (Johani 8:28, 29) Jesuaiteerera Baba vake vokudenga, uye Bhaibheri rinoudza vanakuti vateerere vabereki vavo. (VaEfeso 6:1-3) Kunyange zvazvoJesu akanga ari mwana akakwana, aiteerera vabereki vake ve-vanhu, Josefa naMariya, vakanga vasina kukwana. Chokwadi,izvozvo zvakaita kuti nhengo yoga yoga yemhuri yaJesu ifare!—Ruka 2:4, 5, 51, 52.

Pane imwe ngu-va, Mwari paaida kuti Jesu aite chimwe chinhu chakanga cha-kaoma kwazvo, Jesu akati: “Bvisai kapu iyi [chimwe chinhuchaidiwa] kwandiri.” Kunyange zvakadaro, Jesu akaita zvaka-kumbirwa naMwari, nokuti aiziva kuti Baba vake vaiziva zva-kanga zvakanakisisa.

Jesu akati: “Haasi munhu wo-se anoti kwandiri, ‘Ishe, Ishe,’ achapinda muumambo hwo-kumatenga, asi uya anoita kuda kwaBaba vangu vari kuma-tenga.” Saka, kuti tifarirwe naMwari, tinofanira kudzidza zvi-noda Mwari kwatiri, tozviita.

Achinyengetera kuna Ba-bavake vokudenga, iye akati: “Shoko renyu ichokwadi.” (Joha-ni 17:17) Jesu aidavira Shoko raMwari, uye zvose zvaaidzidzi-sa zvaienderana neMagwaro.

Kunamata uku kuno-sanganisira kuita kuti vanhu vazive zita raMwari wechokwadiuye zvaakaita. Pisarema 83:18 rinoti: “Imi, mune zita rokuti Je-hovha, imi moga ndimi Wokumusorosoro kumusoro kwenyi-ka yose.” Jesu akaratidza muenzaniso pakubatsira vamwe kutivazive Mwari, sezvaakataura achinyengetera kuti: “Ndakarati-dza vanhu vamakandipa panyika zita renyu.” (Johani 17:6)Saizvozvowo, vanamati vechokwadi mazuva ano vanodzidzisavamwe zita raMwari, zvinangwa zvake, uye unhu hwake.

11 VaKristu vechokwadi vanobvuma Jesu Kristu senzira ya-Mwari yokuponesa nayo vanhu. Bhaibheri rinoti: “Hapana mu-mwe angaponesa vanhu, nokuti hapana rimwe zita pasi pe-denga rakapiwa pakati pevanhu ratinofanira kuponeswa na-ro.” (Mabasa 4:12) Sezvatakaona muChitsauko 5, Jesu akapaupenyu hwake kuti huve rudzikinuro rwevanhu vanoteerera.(Mateu 20:28) Uyewo, Jesu ndiye Mambo akagadzwa waMwarimuUmambo hwokudenga huchatonga nyika yose.

Ndokusaka Bhaibheri richiti: “Ano-tenda muMwanakomana ane upenyu husingaperi; asingatee-reri Mwanakomana haazooni upenyu.”—Johani 3:36.

12 Vanamati vechokwadi havasi venyika. Paakanga achito-ngwa ari pamberi pomutongi weRoma, Pirato, Jesu akati:“Umambo hwangu hahusi hwenyika ino.” (Johani 18:36) Zvi-sinei nokuti vanogara munyika ipi, vateveri vaJesu vechokwa-di vanhu vanotongwa noUmambo hwake hwokudenga uyevanoramba vasina kwavanotsigira munyaya dzezvematonge-rwo enyika.

(Pi-sarema 146:3) Jesu akatidzidzisa kunyengeterera hurumendeiyoyo yakakwana paakati: “Umambo hwenyu ngahuuye. Kudakwenyu ngakuitwe panyika, sezvakunoitwa kudenga.” (Mateu6:10) Shoko raMwari rakafanotaura kuti Umambo uhwu hwo-kudenga “huchapwanya, hwogumisa umambo hwose uhwu[huripo iye zvino], uye ihwo huchamira nokusingagumi.”—Dhanieri 2:44.

14 Kubva pane zvatichangobva kukurukura, zvibvunze ku-ti: ‘Iboka ripi rechitendero rinotora zvose zvarinodzidzisa mu-Bhaibheri uye rinozivisa zita raJehovha?

Kuti tifarirwe naMwari, hatingofaniri kutenda chete ku-ti aripo, asi tinofanirawo kuita zvaanoda. Tinofanira kusiyana-wo nechitendero chenhema, togamuchira kunamata kwecho-kwadi.

Jesu akataura kuti murayiro uyundiwo mukuru pane mimwe yose: “Ida Jehovha Mwari wakonomwoyo wako wose nomweya wako wose nepfungwa dzakodzose.” (Mateu 22:37) Chokwadi une zvikonzero zvakawandanei uchifanira kuda Jehovha Mwari. Kuti zvinzi unoda Jehovhanomwoyo wako wose, mweya, uye pfungwa unofanira kungo-nzwa kuti ndizvo zvauri kuita here?

Kutaura chokwadi,kunyange zvazvo kunzwa kuti unoda Jehovha kuchikosha, ku-nzwa ikoko kunongova mavambo okumuda chaiko. Mhodziyomuapuro inokosha pakuita kuti muti womuapuro unobere-ka zvibereko uvepo. Zvisinei, kudai waida apuro, waizogutsika-na here kudai mumwe munhu aizongokupa mhodzi yomua-puro? Kana! Saizvozvowo, kunzwa uchida Jehovha Mwari ku-nongova mavambo. Bhaibheri rinodzidzisa kuti: “Kuda Mwarikunoreva izvi, kuti tichengete mirayiro yake; uye mirayiro yakehairemi.” (1 Johani 5:3) Kuti kuve kwechokwadi, kuda Mwarikunofanira kubereka zvibereko zvakanaka.

Zvinondipa chimwe chikonzero chipi chokuti ndi-mude nomwoyo wangu wose, pfungwa, uye mweya?’ (1 Timo-ti 4:15) Kufungisisa kwakadaro kuchaita kuti kuda kwaunoitaJehovha kurambe kwakasimba.

14 Imwe nzira yokuita kuti kuda kwaunoita Jehovha kura-mbe kwakasimba ndeyokugara uchinyengetera. (1 VaTesaroni-ka 5:17) MuChitsauko 17 chebhuku rino, takadzidza kuti mu-nyengetero chipo chinokosha chinobva kuna Mwari. Ukamahwevanhu zvahunokura nokugara vanhu vachikurukuriranavakasununguka, saizvozvowo ukama hwedu naJehovha huno-gara hwakanaka uye hwakasimba patinogara tichinyengeterakwaari.

(Pisarema 62:8) Chokwadi, kudzi-dza Bhaibheri uri woga uye kunyengetera zvichibva mumwo-yo zvinhu zvinokosha pakunamata kwedu uye zvinotibatsirakuramba tiri murudo rwaMwari.

17 Zvinokosha kuti tiyeuke kuti basa rokuparidza Umamborinofanira kukurumidza kuitwa. Bhaibheri rinoti: ‘Paridza sho-ko, zviite nokukurumidza.’ (2 Timoti 4:2) Nei izvi zvichifani-ra kukurumidza kuitwa mazuva ano? Shoko raMwari rinotiu-dza kuti: “Zuva guru raJehovha rava pedyo. Rava pedyo, uyeriri kukurumidza kwazvo.” (Zefaniya 1:14) Chokwadi, nguvairi kukurumidza kuuya Jehovha paachagumisa mamiriro ezvi-nhu ose aripo iye zvino. Vanhu vanofanira kunyeverwa! Va-nofanira kuziva kuti iye zvino ndiyo nguva yokusarudza kutiJehovha ave Changamirewavo. Mugumo ‘hauzononoki.’—Ha-bhakuki 2:3.

18 Jehovha anoda kuti timunamate pachena takabatana ne-vaKristu vechokwadi. Ndokusaka Shoko rake richiti: “Ngatira-ngarirane kuti tikurudzirane kuva norudo nemabasa akana-ka kwazvo, tisingaregi kuungana kwedu, setsika ine vamwe,asi tikurudzirane, kunyanya zvamunoona zuva richiswederapedyo.” (VaHebheru 10:24, 25) Patinoungana nevamwe vati-nonamata navo pamisangano yechiKristu, tinova nomukanaunoshamisa wokurumbidza uye kunamata Mwari wedu ano-diwa.

Jehovha anopa sei mubayiro vaya vanomunamatavakatendeka uye vanoramba vari murudo rwake?

21 Shoko raMwari rinotikurudzira kuti ‘tibatisise upenyuchaihwo.’ (1 Timoti 6:19) Mashoko iwayo anoratidza kuti“upenyu chaihwo” chinhu chatinotarisira kuwana munguvayemberi.

Asi Pauro aire-va here kuti tinogona kuwana “upenyu chaihwo” nokungoitamabasa akanaka? Kwete, nokuti tarisiro dzinoshamisa dzaka-daro zvechokwadi dzinobva pakuwana “mutsa usina kukodze-

Shandu-ro yeNyika Itsva yeMagwaro Matsvene inoshandura ndima iyi se-izvi: “Kuti vanhu vazive kuti imi, mune zita rokuti Jehovha, Imimoga ndimi Wokumusorosoro kumusoro kwenyika yose.” Dzi-mwe shanduro dzeBhaibheri dzinoverengeka dzinoshandura zva-kafanana.

Unotanga seizvi: “Babavedu vari kumatenga, zita renyu ngaritsveneswe.” (Mateu 6:9) Ga-re gare, Jesu akanyengetera kuna Mwari achiti: “Baba, kudzai zi-ta renyu.” Achipindura, Mwari akataura ari kudenga, achiti: “Nda-karikudza uye ndicharikudzazve.” (Johani 12:28) Zviri pachenakuti zita raMwari rinokosha zvakanyanya.

Asi, vanhu mu-nyika yose nhasi vanoshandisa madudzirwo akasiyana-siyana ezi-ta rokuti Jesu, vachizviita maererano nezvinonyanya kuzivikanwamumutauro wavo.

Saka, kusava nechokwadi nemadudzirwo ekareezita raMwari hachisi chikonzero chokurega kurishandisa.

Vanyori veBhaibheri rechiHebheru(“Testamende Yekare”) vose zvavo vaiva varume vakanga vakate-ndeka vakararama maererano noMutemo uyo Mwari akapa vaIsra-eri vekare. Asi, vaiwanzoshandisa zita raMwari.

“SHOKO RAKANGA RIRI MWARI”

Johani 1:1 inoti: “Pakutanga Shoko rakanga riripo, Shoko raka-nga riri kuna Mwari, Shoko rakanga riri Mwari.” (Bhaibheri mu-Ndimi yeUnion Shona) Gare gare muchitsauko ichocho, muaposto-ra Johani anoratidza pachena kuti “Shoko” ndiJesu. (Johani 1:14)Zvisinei, Shoko zvarinonzi Mwari, vamwe vanofunga kuti Mwa-nakomana naBaba vanofanira kuva chikamu chaMwari mumwechete.

Yeuka kuti ndima iyi yeBhaibheri pakutanga yakanyorwa nechi-Giriki. Gare gare, vashanduri vakashandura rugwaro rwacho rwe-chiGiriki vachiruisa mune mimwe mitauro. Zvisinei, vashandu-ri veBhaibheri vanoverengeka havana kushandisa mashoko okuti“Shoko rakanga riri Mwari.” Nei? Vachitorera paruzivo rwavo rwe-chiGiriki chakashandiswa pakunyora Bhaibheri, vashanduri ivavovakafunga kuti mashoko okuti “Shoko rakanga riri Mwari” anofa-nira kushandurwa zvakasiyana. Sei? Heino mienzaniso mishoma-nana: “Logos [Shoko] raiva nechokuita naMwari.” (A New Transla-tion of the Bible) “Shoko raiva mwari.” (The New Testament inan Improved Version) “Shoko rakanga riina Mwari uye rakaita sai-ye.” (The Translator’s New Testament) Maererano neshanduro idzi,Shoko harisi Mwari pachake.� Asi, nokuda kwenzvimbo yaro ye-pamusoro pakati pezvisikwa zvaJehovha, Shoko rinonzi “mwari”(ana “m” muduku). Pano shoko rokuti “mwari” rinoreva “munhuane simba.”

Somuenzaniso, funga zvimwe zvakanyorwa naJohani muchitsa-uko 1, ndima 18, kuti: “Hapana munhu akamboona Mwari [We-masimbaose] chero panguva ipi zvayo.” Zvisinei, vanhu vaka-ona Jesu, Mwanakomana, nokuti Johani anoti: “Shoko [Jesu] ra-kava nyama rikagara pakati pedu, uye takaona kubwinya kwake.”(Johani 1:14) Saka, Mwanakomana aigona sei kuva chikamu cha-Mwari Wemasimbaose? Johani anotaurawo kuti Shoko rakanga“riina Mwari.” Munhu angava sei nomumwe munhu asi pangu-va imwe chete ari munhu wacho? Uyezve, sezvakanyorwa pana Jo-hani 17:3, Jesu anobudisa pachena kusiyana kwaakaita naBaba va-ke vokudenga. Anodana Baba vake kuti “Mwari wechokwadi che-te.” Uye nechokunoperera Evhangeri yake, Johani anotaura zvi-nhu nemashoko mashoma achiti: “Izvi zvakanyorwa kuti imi mu-tende kuti Jesu ndiye Kristu Mwanakomana waMwari.” (Johani20:31) Ona kuti Jesu anonzi Mwanakomana waMwari, kwete Mwa-ri.

Nezvokuguma kwemamiriro ezvi-nhu aripo, iye anotaura mashoko aJesu achiti: “Hapana munhuanoziva nezvezuva iroro neawa, kunyange ngirozi dzokumatengakana Mwanakomana, asi Baba voga.” (Mateu 24:36) Mashoko ayaanosimbisa sei kuti Jesu haasi Mwari Wemasimbaose?

Jesu anotaura kuti Baba vanoziva zvakawanda kupfuura zvinozi-vikanwa noMwanakomana. Zvisinei, kudai Jesu aiva chikamu cha-Mwari Wemasimbaose, aizoziva zvinhu zvakafanana nezvinozivi-kanwa naBaba vake. Saka, Mwanakomana naBaba havangavi vaka-enzana. Asi vamwe vangati: ‘Jesu akanga aine masikirwo maviri.Pano anotaura somunhu.’ Asi kunyange kudai zvakanga zvakada-ro, zvakadini nomudzimu mutsvene? Kana uri chikamu chaMwarimumwe chete iyeye saBaba, nei Jesu asingatauri kuti unoziva zvi-nozivikanwa naBaba?

Richitsanangura nei dandawo zvaro raiwanzoshandiswa kuura-yira vanhu, bhuku rinonzi Das Kreuz und die Kreuzigung (Mu-chinjikwa uye Kurovererwa paMuchinjikwa), rakanyorwa naHer-mann Fulda, rinoti: “Miti yakanga isingawaniki pose pose panzvi-mbo dzaisarudzwa kuti dziurayirwe vanhu, vamwe vachiona. Sakadandawo zvaro raidzikwa muvhu. Vakasimudza maoko mudenga,vanhu vaityora mutemo vaisungirirwa padanda iri kana kuti kuro-vererwa maoko uye kakawanda makumbo avo airovererwawo.”

Zvisinei, uchapupu hwakasimba kupfuura humwe hwose, hu-nobva muShoko raMwari. Muapostora Pauro anoti: “Kristu waka-tidzikinura pakutuka kwomurayiro, iye akaitwa chakatukwa noku-da kwedu, nokuti kwakanyorwa, kuchinzi: Vakatukwa vose vano-turikwa pamuti!” (VaGaratiya 3:13, Bhaibheri muNdimi yeUnionShona) Pano Pauro ari kudzokorora mashoko aDheuteronomio 21:22, 23 ayo anotaura zvakajeka nezvomuti, kwete muchinjikwa. Se-zvo kuurayiwa neiyi nzira kwaiita kuti munhu wacho ave “akatu-kwa,” zvaisazova zvakakodzera kuti vaKristu vashongedze mishayavo nemifananidzo yaKristu akarovererwa.

Hapana uchapupu hwokuti kwemakore 300 okutanga pashurepokufa kwaKristu, vaya vaizviti vaKristu vakashandisa muchinji-kwa pakunamata. Zvisinei, muzana remakore rechina, Mambo we-chihedheni ainzi Constantine akatendeukira kuchiKristu chakara-mba kutenda, akatsigira kuti muchinjikwa uve chiratidzo chechi-Kristu. Hazvinei kuti Constantine aiva nevavariro dzei, muchinji-kwa hauna chokuita naJesu Kristu. Chokwadika, muchinjikwa wa-katanga nevahedheni.

Jesu Kristu akatanga chiitiko ichi usiku hwePaseka yechiJudhamuna 33 C.E. Paseka yaiva mutambo waiitwa kamwe chete pago-re, pazuva rechi14 romwedzi wechiJudha waNisani.

Vamwe vanodavira kuti Jesu akachinja chingwa chacho kuvanyama yake chaiyo uye waini yacho kuva ropa rake. Zvisinei, mu-viri wenyama waJesu wakanga uchakakwana paakavapa chingwaichi. Vaapostora vaJesu zvechokwadi vakanga vachidya nyama ya-ke chaiyo uye vachinwa ropa rake here? Kwete, nokuti izvozvo zvi-ngadai zvakava kudya nyama yomunhu uye kutyorwa kwomute-mo waMwari. (Genesisi 9:3, 4; Revhitiko 17:10) Maererano naRu-ka 22:20, Jesu akati: “Kapu iyi inomirira sungano itsva muropa ra-ngu, ramuchadururirwa.” Kapu iyoyo yakava chaizvoizvo “sunga-no itsva” here? Izvozvo zvaisaita, sezvo sungano chiri chibvumi-rano, kwete chinhu chinobatika.

Saka, zvose zviri zviviri, chingwa newaini zvinhu zvokungofa-nanidzira chete. Chingwa chinofananidzira muviri waKristu wa-kakwana. Jesu akashandisa chingwa chakasara pakudya Paseka.Chingwa chacho chaigadzirwa chisina mbiriso. (Eksodho 12:8)Bhaibheri rinowanzoshandisa mbiriso sechiratidzo chechivi kanakuti uori.

Waini tsvuku inomirira ropa raJesu. Ropa iroro rinoita kuti su-ngano itsva ishande. Jesu akati ropa rake rakadururwa “nokudakwokukanganwirwa zvivi.” Saka vanhu vanogona kuva vakache-na kuna Mwari uye vanogona kupinda musungano itsva naJeho-vha. (VaHebheru 9:14; 10:16, 17) Sungano iyi, kana kuti chibvu-mirano, inoita kuti vaKristu vakatendeka 144 000 vakwanise kue-nda kudenga.

“MWEYA” SOKUSHANDISWAKUNOITWA SHOKO RACHO MUBHAIBHERI

Kutanga, funga nezvomweya. Ungayeuka kuti pakutanga Bha-ibheri rakanyorwa kunyanya muchiHebheru nechiGiriki. Pava-inyora nezvomweya, vanyori veBhaibheri vaishandisa sho-ko rechiHebheru rokuti ne�phesh kana kuti shoko rechiGirikirokuti psy·khe�. Mashoko aya anooneka muMagwaro kanopfuu-ra ka800, uye Shanduro yeNyika Itsva inoashandura zvakafana-na kuti “mweya.” Paunoongorora mashandisirwo anoitwa sho-ko rokuti “mweya” muBhaibheri, zvinova pachena kuti shoko iririnonyanya kureva (1) vanhu, (2) mhuka, kana kuti (3) upenyuuhwo munhu kana kuti mhuka inahwo. Ngatikurukurei mamwemagwaro anopa pfungwa idzi nhatu dzakasiyana.

“Mweya” uye “Mudzimu”—Mashoko Aya Anomborevei Chaizvo?


Vanhu. “Mumazuva aNoa . . . vanhu vashoma, iyo mweya mi-sere, yakatakurwa yakachengeteka nomumvura.” (1 Petro 3:20)Pano, zviri pachena kuti shoko rokuti “mweya” rinoreva vanhu—Noa, mudzimai wake, vanakomana vake vatatu, uye madzimaiavo. Eksodho 16:16 inotaura nezvemirayiridzo yakapiwa vaIsra-eri nezvokuunganidza mana. Vakaudzwa kuti: “Zvinhongei, . . .maererano nokuwanda kwemweya iyo mumwe nomumwe we-nyu anayo mutende rake.” Saka chitsama chemana yaiungani-dzwa chaienderana nokuwanda kwevanhu vaiva mumhuri yogayoga. Mimwe mienzaniso yomuBhaibheri yokushandiswa kuno-itwa shoko rokuti “mweya” kumunhu kana kuti vanhu inowani-ka pana Genesisi 46:18; Joshua 11:11; Mabasa 27:37; uye VaRoma13:1.

Mhuka. Munhoroondo yeBhaibheri yokusika, tinoverenga ku-ti: “Mwari akabva ati: ‘Mvura ngaizare nemweya mipenyu mi-zhinji uye zvisikwa zvinobhururuka ngazvibhururuke pamusoropenyika pakatarisana nenzvimbo huru yematenga.’ Mwari aka-bva ati: ‘Nyika ngaibudise mweya mipenyu maererano nemaru-dzi ayo, zvipfuwo nezvinokambaira nemhuka dzomusango dze-nyika maererano nemarudzi azvo.’ Uye zvakaita saizvozvo.” (Ge-nesisi 1:20, 24) Mundima idzi, hove, zvipfuwo, uye mhuka dzo-musango zvose zvinoshandisirwa shoko rakafanana—“mweya.”Shiri nedzimwe mhuka dzinonzi mweya pana Genesisi 9:10; Re-vhitiko 11:46; uye Numeri 31:28.

Upenyu hwomunhu. Dzimwe nguva shoko rokuti “mweya” ri-noreva upenyu hwomunhu. Jehovha akaudza Mosesi kuti: “Va-rume vose vakanga vachivhima mweya wako vakafa.” (Eksodho4:19) Vavengi vaMosesi vakanga vachivhimei? Vakanga vachi-tsvaka kugumisa upenyu hwaMosesi. Nguva yakanga yapfuura,Rakeri paakanga achisununguka mwanakomana wake Bhenja-mini, ‘mweya wake wakanga uchibuda (nokuti akafa).” (Genesi-si 35:16-19) Panguva iyoyo, Rakeri akarasikirwa noupenyu hwa-ke. Fungawo nezvemashoko aJesu okuti: “Ndini mufudzi akana-ka kwazvo; mufudzi akanaka kwazvo anopa mweya wake noku-da kwemakwai.” (Johani 10:11) Jesu akapa mweya wake, kana ku-ti upenyu, nokuda kwevanhu. Mundima idzi dzeBhaibheri, sho-ko rokuti “mweya” rinotaura zviri pachena nezvoupenyu hwo-munhu. Uchawana mimwe mienzaniso yepfungwa iyi yeshoko


rokuti “mweya” pana 1 Madzimambo 17:17-23; Mateu 10:39; Jo-hani 15:13; uye Mabasa 20:10.

Kudzidzazve Shoko raMwari kuchakuratidza kuti hapana mu-Bhaibheri rose panobatanidzwa mashoko okuti “kusafa” kanakuti “kusaguma” neshoko rokuti “mweya.” Asi, Magwaro ano-taura kuti mweya unofa. (Ezekieri 18:4, 20) Saka, Bhaibheri ri-nodana munhu anenge afa kuti “mweya . . . wakafa.”—Revhitiko21:11.

KUZIVA CHINONZI “MUDZIMU”

Iye zvino ngatikurukurei kushandiswa kunoitwa shoko roku-ti “mudzimu” muBhaibheri. Vamwe vanhu vanofunga kuti “mu-dzimu” rinongova rimwe shoko rokuti “mweya.” Zvisinei, izvo-zvo handizvo. Bhaibheri rinojekesa kuti shoko rokuti “mudzimu”nerokuti “mweya” anoreva zvinhu zviviri zvakasiyana. Anosiyanasei?

Vanyori veBhaibheri vakashandisa shoko rechiHebheru roku-ti ru�ach kana kuti rechiGiriki rokuti pneu�ma pavainyora nezvo-“mudzimu.” Magwaro pachawo anoratidza zvinoreva mashokoiwayo. Somuenzaniso, Pisarema 104:29 rinoti: “Kana [Jehovha]mukabvisa simba razvo roupenyu [mudzimu kana kuti ru�ach],izvo zvinofa, uye zvinodzokera kuguruva razvo.” Uye Jakobho 2:26 inoratidza kuti ‘muviri usina simba roupenyu [mudzimu ka-na kuti pneu�ma] wakafa.’ Saka, mundima idzi “mudzimu” uno-reva chinoita kuti muviri uve mupenyu. Pasina mudzimu, muviriwakafa. Saka, muBhaibheri shoko rokuti ru�ach haringoshandu-rwi kuti “mudzimu” chete asiwo “simba,” kana kuti simba roupe-nyu. Somuenzaniso, nezveMafashamo omunguva yaNoa, Mwariakati: “Ndiri kuunza mafashamo emvura panyika kuti ndiparadzenyama yose ine simba [ru�ach] roupenyu rinoshanda mairi iri pa-si pedenga.” (Genesisi 6:17; 7:15, 22) Saka, shoko rokuti “mudzi-mu” rinoreva simba risingaoneki (chinhu chinopa upenyu) chi-noita kuti zvisikwa zvose zvipenyu zvirarame.

Mweya nomudzimu hazvina kufanana. Muviri unoda mu-dzimu kufanana neredhiyo inoda magetsi—kuti ushande. Kue-nzanisirazve izvi, funga nezvekaredhiyo kanotakurika. Paunoisamabhatiri mukaredhiyo kanotakurika, wokabatidza, magetsi arimumabhatiri acho anoita kuti karedhiyo kaite sokuti kava nou-


penyu. Zvisinei, pasina mabhatiri, karedhiyo kacho kakafa. Ndi-zvo zvakaitawo imwe redhiyo painobviswa pamagetsi. Saizvozvo-wo, mudzimu isimba rinoita kuti miviri yedu ive mipenyu. Uye-wo, kufanana nemagetsi, mudzimu haunzwi uye haugoni kufu-nga. Isimbawo zvaro risiri munhu. Asi pasina mudzimu iwoyo,kana kuti simba roupenyu, miviri yedu ‘inofa, uye inodzokerakuguruva rayo,’ sezvakataurwa nomunyori wepisarema.

Ichitaura nezvokufa kwomunhu, Muparidzi 12:7 inoti: “Guru-va [romuviri wake] rinodzokera kuivhu sezvarakanga rakaita uyesimba roupenyu [kana kuti mudzimu] rinodzokera kuna Mwa-ri wechokwadi akaripa.” Mudzimu, kana kuti simba roupenyu,paunobuda mumuviri, muviri unofa uye unodzokera kwawaka-bva—kuvhu. Saizvozvowo, simba roupenyu rinodzokera kwara-kabva—kuna Mwari. (Jobho 34:14, 15; Pisarema 36:9) Izvi hazvi-revi kuti simba roupenyu rinonyatsofamba richienda kudenga.Asi zvinoreva kuti kumunhu anofa, tariro chero ipi zvayo youpe-nyu hwomunguva yemberi iri kuna Jehovha Mwari. Zvakaita so-kuti upenyu hwake huri mumaoko aMwari. Mudzimu, kana kutisimba roupenyu, unogona kudzorerwa kuti munhu araramezvepachishandiswa simba raMwari chete.

Zvinonyaradza kwazvo kuziva kuti izvi ndizvo chaizvo zvicha-itwa naMwari kune vose vaya vakazorora “mumakuva”! (Joha-ni 5:28, 29) Panguva yokumuka, Jehovha achagadzirira munhuakarara murufu muviri mutsva oita kuti uve mupenyu nokuisamudzimu, kana kuti simba roupenyu mauri. Chokwadi iroro ri-chava zuva rinofadza zvikuru!

Dzimwe shanduro dzeBhaibheri dzi-noashandura kuti “guva,” “hero,” kana kuti “gomba.” Zvisinei,mumitauro yakawanda hamuna mashoko anopa pfungwa chai-yo yemashoko aya, rechiHebheru uye rechiGiriki. Saka, Shandu-ro yeNyika Itsva inoshandisa shoko rokuti “Sheori” uye “Hadhe-si.” Mashoko aya anomborevei chaizvo? Ngationei mashandisi-rwo aanoitwa mundima dzeBhaibheri dzakasiyana-siyana.

Muparidzi 9:10 inoti: “MuSheori, iyo nzvimbo yauri kuenda,hamuna basa kana kuronga mazano kana zivo kana uchenjeri.”Izvi zvinoreva here kuti Sheori inoreva guva chairo, kana kutiguva roga roga ratingave takaviga mudiwa wedu? Kwete. Bhai-bheri parinotaura nezveguva chairo, rinoshandisa mamwe ma-shoko, rechiHebheru uye rechiGiriki, kwete she�ohl� uye hai�-des. (Genesisi 23:7-9; Mateu 28:1) Uyewo, Bhaibheri harishandi-si shoko rokuti “Sheori” nokuda kweguva rinovigwa vanhu va-noverengeka pamwe chete, zvakadai seguva remhuri kana kutiguva rinovigwa vanhu vakawanda.—Genesisi 49:30, 31.

Saka, shoko rokuti “Sheori” rinoreva nzvimbo yakaita sei?Shoko raMwari rinoratidza kuti shoko rokuti “Sheori,” kana ku-ti “Hadhesi,” anoreva chinhu chinotopfuura guva guru rinovi-gwa vanhu vakawanda. Somuenzaniso, Isaya 5:14 inotaura kutiSheori ‘yakakura uye yakashama muromo wayo kwazvo kupfu-ura miganhu.’ Kunyange zvazvo Sheori ichitaurwa sokunge ya-katomedza vanhu vakafa vasingaverengeki, inogara ichiita sei-ri kungoda vamwe. (Zvirevo 30:15, 16) Kusiyana neguva chai-ro chero ripi zvaro, rinongopinda vanhu vakafa vashoma chete,‘Sheori haiguti.’ (Zvirevo 27:20) Sheori haimbozari. Haina mi-ganhu.

(Genesisi 37:35; Pisare-ma 55:15) Saka, Bhaibheri rinodzidzisa kuti kuchava “nokumu-ka kwevakarurama nevasina kururama.”—Mabasa 24:15.

UNOFUNGIDZIRA kuti Zuva Rokutongwa richange rakaita sei?Vakawanda vanofunga kuti mabhiriyoni evanhu achaunzwa pa-mberi pechigaro choumambo chaMwari akaita mudungwe. Ipa-po, munhu oga oga achatongwa. Vamwe vachapiwa mubayiro we-paradhiso yokudenga, uye vamwe vachatongerwa kutambudzwakusingagumi. Zvisinei, Bhaibheri rinoratidza zvakasiyana chaizvopamusoro penguva iyi. Shoko raMwari rinoirondedzera senguvayetariro uye yokugadzirisa zvinhu, kwete senguva inotyisa.

Pana Zvakazarurwa 20:11, 12, tinoverenga tsanangudzo yomu-apostora Johani yeZuva Rokutongwa, inoti: “Ndakaona chigarochoumambo chikuru chichena naiye akanga agere pachiri. Denganenyika zvakatiza pamberi pake, uye hazvina kuwanirwa nzvi-mbo. Ndakaona vakafa, vakuru nevaduku, vamire pamberi pe-chigaro choumambo, uye mipumburu yakavhurwa. Asi mumwemupumburu wakavhurwa; ndiwo mupumburu woupenyu. Vaka-fa vakatongwa nezvinhu zviya zvakanga zvakanyorwa mumipu-mburu maererano nemabasa avo.” Mutongi anotsanangurwa pa-no ndiani?

Jehovha Mwari ndiye Mutongi mukuru wevanhu anopfuuravose. Zvisinei, anopa vamwe basa racho chairo rokutonga. Ma-ererano naMabasa 17:31, muapostora Pauro akataura kuti Mwari

Zuva Rokutongwa—Chii?


“akatara zuva raanoda kutonga naro nyika inogarwa, nokururamaachishandisa munhu waakagadza.” Mutongi uyu akagadzwa ndi-Jesu Kristu akamutswa. (Johani 5:22) Zvisinei, Zuva Rokutongwarinotanga rini? Rakareba zvakadini?

Bhuku raZvakazarurwa rinoratidza kuti Zuva Rokutongwa rino-tanga pashure pehondo yeAmagedhoni, mamiriro ezvinhu aSa-tani ari panyika paanenge aparadzwa.� (Zvakazarurwa 16:14, 16;19:19–20:3) Pashure peAmagedhoni, Satani nemadhimoni ake va-chaiswa mujeri mugomba rakadzikadzika kwemakore ane chiuru.Munguva iyoyo, vagari venhaka vokudenga vane 144 000 vacha-va vatongi uye vachatonga “semadzimambo naKristu kwemako-re ane chiuru.” (Zvakazarurwa 14:1-3; 20:1-4; VaRoma 8:17) ZuvaRokutongwa harisi chiitiko chichakurumidza kuitwa chakangore-ba maawa 24. Rinotora makore ane chiuru.

Munguva iyoyo yemakore ane chiuru, Jesu Kristu “achatongavapenyu nevakafa.” (2 Timoti 4:1) “Vapenyu” vachange vari “bo-ka guru revanhu” vanopona paAmagedhoni. (Zvakazarurwa 7:9-17) Muapostora Johani akaonawo “vakafa . . . vamire pamberi pe-chigaro choumambo” chokutonga. Sezvakapikirwa naJesu, achi-shandisa rumuko, “vari mumakuva vachayeukwa uye vachanzwainzwi [raKristu], vobuda.” (Johani 5:28, 29; Mabasa 24:15) Asi vo-se vachatongerwa chii?

Maererano nezvakaratidzwa muapostora Johani, “mipumbu-ru yakavhurwa,” uye “vakafa vakatongwa nezvinhu zviya zvaka-nga zvakanyorwa mumipumburu maererano nemabasa avo.” Mi-pumburu iyi zvinhu zvakanyorwa zvakaitwa kare nevanhu vachohere? Kwete, kutonga kwacho hakuzoitwi nokuda kwezvakaitwanevanhu vasati vafa. Tinoziva sei izvozvo?

Naizvozvo, mipumburu inofanira kumirira zvimwe zvinodiwanaMwari. Kuti vanopona paAmagedhoni uye vaya vanomutswavararame nokusingaperi, vachafanira kuteerera mirayiro yaMwa-ri, kusanganisira zvimwe zvitsva zvichange zvichidiwa izvo Jeho-vha angazivisa mumakore ane chiuru. Saka, vanhu vachatonge-rwa zvavachaita munguva yeZuva Rokutongwa.

Zvechokwadi, “vagari vomunyika inobereka vachadzi-dza kururama.” (Isaya 26:9) Zvisinei, havasi vose vanenge vachi-da kuita maererano nezvinoda Mwari. Isaya 26:10 inoti: “Kunya-nge munhu akaipa akanzwirwa nyasha, haazombodzidzi kurura-ma. Achaita zvisina kururama munyika yokururama uye haazoo-ni ukuru hwaJehovha.” Vakaipa ava vachaurayiwa zvachose mu-nguva yeZuva Rokutongwa.—Isaya 65:20.

Panozopera Zuva Rokutongwa, vanhu vanopona vanenge ‘va-va vapenyu’ zvizere sevanhu vakakwana. (Zvakazarurwa 20:5)Saka munguva yeZuva Rokutongwa vanhu vachadzorerwa pa-kukwana kwaivapo pakutanga.

rozi huru. Naizvozvo rugwaro urwu runoratidza kuti Jesu pa-chake ndiye ngirozi yacho huru, Mikaeri.

Mutungamiriri weuto. Bhaibheri rinotaura kuti “Mikaeri ne-ngirozi dzake vakarwa nedhiragoni . . . nengirozi dzayo.” (Zva-kazarurwa 12:7) Saka, Mikaeri ndiye Mutungamiriri weuto re-ngirozi dzakatendeka. Bhuku raZvakazarurwa rinotsananguraJesu soMutungamiriri weuto rengirozi dzakatendeka. (Zvakaza-rurwa 19:14-16) Uye muapostora Pauro anotaura zvakananganezva“Ishe Jesu” ne“ngirozi dzake dzine simba.” (2 VaTesaroni-ka 1:7) Naizvozvo Bhaibheri rinotaura nezvaMikaeri ne“ngirozidzake” uye Jesu ne“ngirozi dzake.” (Mateu 13:41; 16:27; 24:31;1 Petro 3:22) Sezvo Shoko raMwari pasina parinoratidza kutipane mauto maviri engirozi dzakatendeka kudenga—rimwe ri-notungamirirwa naMikaeri uye rimwe rinotungamirirwa naJe-su—zvine musoro kugumisa kuti Mikaeri ndiye chete Jesu Kri-stu pabasa rake rokudenga.�

� Mamwe mashoko anoratidza kuti zita rokuti Mikaeri rinoshanda ku-Mwanakomana waMwari anowanika muVhoriyamu 2, mapeji 393-4, ye-bhuku rinonzi Insight on the Scriptures, rakabudiswa neZvapupu zvaJeho-vha.

BHUKU raZvakazarurwa rine mashoko asingafaniri kunzwisi-swa sezvaari chaizvo. (Zvakazarurwa 1:1) Somuenzaniso, rino-taura nezvomukadzi akanyorwa zita rokuti “Bhabhironi Guru”pahuma yake. Mukadzi uyu anonzi akagara pamapoka evanhunemarudzi.” (Zvakazarurwa 17:1, 5, 15) Sezvo pasina mukadzichaiye angaita izvi, Bhabhironi Guru rinofanira kuva rokufana-nidzira. Saka, hure iri rokufananidzira rinomirirei?

Pana Zvakazarurwa 17:18, mukadzi wokufananidzira mu-mwe chete iyeye anorondedzerwa se“guta guru rine umambopamusoro pemadzimambo enyika.” Shoko rokuti “guta” rino-ratidza boka revanhu vakarongeka. “Guta guru” iri zvarinodzo-ra “madzimambo enyika,” mukadzi wacho anonzi Bhabhironi

Kuziva “Bhabhironi Guru”



Guru anofanira kuva sangano rine simba riri munyika dzo-se. Nenzira yakakodzera ringanzi umambo hwenyika. Umambohworudzii? Hwechitendero. Ona kuti dzimwe ndima dzakadakufanana dziri mubhuku raZvakazarurwa dzinoita sei kuti tigu-mise saizvozvi.

Umambo hunogona kuva hwezvematongerwo enyika, hwe-zvokutengeserana, kana kuti hwechitendero. Mukadzi anonziBhabhironi Guru haasi umambo hwezvematongerwo enyikanokuti Shoko raMwari rinotaura kuti “madzimambo enyika,”kana kuti vezvematongerwo enyika ino, “akaita ufeve” naye.Ufeve hwake hune chokuita nokubatana kwake kwaakaita ne-vatongi venyika ino uye hunotsanangura nei achinzi “hure gu-ru.”—Zvakazarurwa 17:1, 2; Jakobho 4:4.

Bhabhironi Guru haringavi umambo hwezvokutengeserananokuti ‘vanotengesa vepanyika,’ avo vanomirira vezvokutenge-serana, vachange vachirichema panguva yarinoparadzwa. Ku-taura chokwadi, madzimambo nevanotengesa vanorondedze-rwa sevakatarira Bhabhironi Guru vari “kure zvishoma.” (Zva-kazarurwa 18:3, 9, 10, 15-17) Saka, zvine musoro kugumisa ku-ti Bhabhironi Guru harisi umambo hwezvematongerwo enyikakana kuti hwezvokutengeserana, asi hwechitendero.

Kuzivikanwa kwechitendero kweBhabhironi Guru kunosi-mbiswazve nemashoko okuti rinotsausa marudzi ose ne‘tsikayaro yokuita zvemidzimu.’ (Zvakazarurwa 18:23) Kuita zvemi-dzimu kwose zvakunokonzerwa nechitendero uye zvemadhi-moni, hazvishamisi kuti Bhabhironi Guru i“nzvimbo inoga-rwa nemadhimoni.” (Zvakazarurwa 18:2; Dheuteronomio 18:10-12) Umambo uhwu hunorondedzerwawo sohunobishairirakushora chitendero chechokwadi, huchitambudza “vaprofita”uye “vatsvene.” (Zvakazarurwa 18:24) Kutaura chokwadi, Bha-bhironi Guru rinovenga kwazvo chitendero chechokwadi zvo-kuti rinotambudza nechisimba uye rinotouraya “zvapupu zva-Jesu.” (Zvakazarurwa 17:6) Saka, zviri pachena kuti mukadziuyu ane zita rokuti Bhabhironi Guru anomirira umambo hwe-nyika hwechitendero chenhema, uhwo hunosanganisira zvite-ndero zvose zvinoshora Jehovha Mwari.

BHAIBHERI haritiudzi pakaberekwa Jesu. Zvisinei, rinotipa chi-konzero chakanaka chokugumisa kuti haana kuberekwa munaDecember.

Funga nezvemamiriro okunze panguva iyoyo yegore muBhe-trehema, umo Jesu akaberekerwa. Mwedzi wechiJudha waKisre-vhi (unoenderana naNovember/December) waiva mwedzi wa-itonhora uye wainaya. Mwedzi waitevera iwoyo waiva Tebhe-ti (December/January). Ndiwo waitonhora zvakanyanyisa pago-re, uchitombova nesinou munzvimbo dzakakwirira. Ngationeizvatinoudzwa neBhaibheri nezvemamiriro okunze enzvimboiyoyo.

Munyori weBhaibheri anonzi Ezra anoratidza kuti zvecho-kwadi Kisrevhi waiva mwedzi waizivikanwa kuti waitonhora uyewainaya. Pashure pokutaura kuti boka revanhu vakanga vau-ngana muJerusarema “mumwedzi wechipfumbamwe [Kisrevhi]pazuva rechimakumi maviri romwedzi,” Ezra anotaura kuti va-nhu ‘vaidedereswa nemvura yainaya.’ Nezvemamiriro okunzepanguva iyoyo yegore, vanhu vakanga vaungana vakati: “Uno

Zvisinei, Bhaibheri rinotaura kuti vafudzi vakanga vari musa-ngo vachifudza mapoka avo ezvipfuwo usiku pakaberekwa Jesu.Kutaura chokwadi, munyori weBhaibheri Ruka anoratidza ku-ti panguva iyoyo, “vafudzi vaigara kunze kwemisha vachitari-sira mapoka avo ezvipfuwo panguva dzokurinda usiku” pedyoneBhetrehema. (Ruka 2:8-12) Ona kuti zvechokwadi vafudzi va-igara kunze kwemisha, kwete kungofamba-famba kunze muka-ti mezuva. Vaiva nemapoka avo ezvipfuwo musango usiku. Ku-tsanangurwa ikoko kwokugara kunze kwemisha kunokodzeramamiriro okunze anotonhora uye okunaya eBhetrehema munaDecember here? Kwete, hakukodzeri. Naizvozvo mamiriro ezvi-nhu ane chokuita nokuberekwa kwaJesu anoratidza kuti haanakuberekwa muna December.�

Shoko raMwari rinotiudza nguva chaiyo yakafa Jesu, asi ri-notipa mashoko mashomanana ane chokuita nepaakaberekwa.Izvi zvinotiyeuchidza mashoko aMambo Soromoni okuti: “Zitarakanaka riri nani pane mafuta akanaka, uye zuva rokufa riri na-ni pane zuva rokuberekwa kwomunhu.” (Muparidzi 7:1) Saka,hazvishamisi kuti Bhaibheri rinopa mashoko akawanda, akadza-ma ane chokuita noushumiri hwaJesu uye rufu asi mashoko ma-shomanana ane chokuita nenguva yaakaberekwa.

Isita. “MuTestamende Itsva hamuna chinomboratidza kuche-ngetwa kwomutambo weIsita,” inodaro The Encyclopædia Bri-tannica. Isita yakatanga sei? Yakabva mukunamata kwechihe-dheni. Kunyange zvazvo zororo iri richinzi nderokuyeuka ku-muka kwaJesu, tsika dzine chokuita nenguva yeIsita hadzisi dze-chiKristu. Somuenzaniso, nezve“Tsuro yeIsita,” yakakurumbira,The Catholic Encyclopedia inoti: “Tsuro yacho chiratidzo chechi-hedheni uye yagara iri chiratidzo chokubereka.”

Kupemberera Gore Idzva. Musi uye tsika zvine chokuita no-kupemberera Gore Idzva zvinosiyana munyika nenyika. Nezve-kwakabva kupemberera uku, The World Book Encyclopedia inoti:“Mutongi weRoma ainzi Julius Caesar akaita kuti musi waJanu-ary 1 uve Zuva Regore Idzva muna 46 B.C. VaRoma vakatsauri-ra zuva iri kuna Janus, mwari wemagedhi, misuo, uye wokuta-nga kwezvinhu. Mwedzi waJanuary wakapiwa zita raJanus, uyoaiva nezviso zviri—chimwe chakatarira mberi uye chimwe cha-cho chakatarira shure.” Saka kupemberera Gore Idzva kunobvamutsika dzechihedheni.

The Encyclopedia Americana inoti: “Zvimwe zvi-nhu zvetsika dzine chokuita neHalloween zvinodzokera shurekumutambo wevaDruid [vapristi vekare vechiCelt] waiitwa ngu-va yechiKristu isati yasvika.
