Mwikosope, wa yale ankhwela woleketxhani ni osuwela wa miruku sowoka ntoko ikano sa atxhu ni makhalelo a elapo, vomuhiya Kristu.” (Kolosi 2:4, 8) Voocharela Paulo aahithariha ntakhara heeni miruku mikina sa elapo siryaaya soonanara nyenya ntakhara heeni achu ancipale annasiveliwano. Ntoko yootakiherya, miruku mikina sa seiyo akhweya inanwerya oweeriha achu wiisoona okhala amirukuxa naari aphaama waapwaha akina.

4. Tiheeni nnaphwanelaahu oloca wi nimukhaviherye yoole onaroromela wi haavovo Mpatusa?

Taani opanke ichu irino okumi ni mavyakelo yaala? Piipiliya onnaakhula: “Empa yòkhalano otenkè, nave namateka a sothene ti Muluku.”​—Ahebri 3:4.

⁵ Tiheeni nnaphwanelaahu oloca sa muupuwelo wawi nnawerya osuwela yeeyo eri yaphaama nihimwemereryaka Muluku? Eparipari wi Masu a Muluku annaloca wi naamwi achu yaale ahinamuroromela yoowo ananwerya okhalano malakiheryo aphaama. (Aroma 2:14, 15) Ntoko yootakiherya, muchu onanwerya waacicimiha ni waasivela asitiithi awe. Nyenya wakhala wi owo hanachariha malakiheryo a Yehova, onanwerya opaka soolakelela soonanara. (Isaiya 33:22) Achu ancipale a miruku olelo aalekecheya wi ninnachuna nikhaviheryo na Muluku wi arehererye ipahu sawoopiha mulaponi. (Mwaalakhanye Yeremiya 10:23.) Mwawiihiiha hannaphwanela wuupuwela wi nnanwerya osuwela yeeyo eri yaphaama nihimweemereryaka Muluku navetho nihicharihaka malakiheryo awe.—Salumu 146:3.

6. Tiheeni achu ancipale anuupuwelaaya vooloca sa malapelo?

Nyenya haavo muchu onahaala okhala oohakalala ahiri nthamwene a Yehova, “Muluku [oohakalala, Tradução do Novo Mundo].” (1 Timóteo 1:11) Echu eri yoothene Yehova onapakeiye ennaakhaviherya akina. Ntoko arummwa awe, nri oohakalala nthowa nawi ninnaavya mikhalelo wi naakhaviherye akina. (Saweriwa T’arummwa 20:35) Ntoko yootakiherya, muupuwele mukhalelo malapelo eeparipari enakhaviheryaaya echoko okhala yawiiwanana. Ninnahuserya ocicimiha ni okhala oororomeleya wa oothelana ahu, waaphuwa anamwane oocicimiha, ni okhalano okhwela weeparipari wa amusi ahu. Malapelo eeparipari annaakhaviherya achu a Yehova olapa vamoha mwa murecele mmulokoni ni wooniherya waakhwela annaya.​—Mwaalakhanye Isaiya 65:13, 14.

⁸ Apwanne muchu onanwerya okhalano ohakalala weeparipari ahimurumeelaka Muluku? Tiheeni enaweeriha achu okhala oohakalala? Akina annapuha muteko aya, naari mathatelo. Akina annoona phaama vaavaa anakhapelelaaya emusi aya ni asinthamwene. Naamwi ichu seiya siruuhaka ohakalala, sookhalavo ichu sincipale mu okumi opwaha seiyo. Hiyaano nri oohiyana ni inama, mwawiihiiha nnan- werya omusuwela Mpatusa ahu ni omulapela yoowo. Owo onipanke mmukhalelo wawi nikhaleke ooreeriwa naari oohakalala vaavaa nneerahuno yeela. (Mwaalakhanye Mateu 5:3.) Ntoko yootakiherya, ninnakhala oohakalala ni oolipiheya vaavaa nnathukumanaahu vamoha ni anna ni arokora ahu wi nimulapele Yehova. (Salumu 133:1) Ninnaphwanya tho ohakalala mu opaka makupa a onna ahu wa elapo yoothene, okhala aweela, ni okhalano ewehereryo yoohakalaliha ntakhara omwaahiyu.

9. (1) Tuuvi ori moonelo wawunlaana vooloca sa okonihana? (2) Ntakhara heeni Masu a Muluku analocaaya wi okonihana ni muchu ohiri oothelana ti yoonanara?

⁹ “Tiivi eri yooheseya okonihana ni muchu ohiri oothelana ahu?” Akhweya achu anamookohaani: “Ntakhara heeni muryaanyu oomakeya? Mpuhe okumi anyu.” Nyenya masu a Muluku annakhwatiiha ocapaheya. * (Moone masu avathi.) (Mwaalakhanye 1 Tesalónika 4:3-8.) Yehova ookhalano ophwanelela onivaha malamulo nthowa nawi tonipanke. Owo ooloca wi pahiru mulopwana ni muthiyana yaawo apanke othela taneemereryiwa okonihana. Yehova oonivaha malamulo nthowa nawi onnanisivela. Owo oosuwela wi wakhala wi ninnachariha, ikumi sahu sinahaala okhumelela phaama. Echoko yeeyo eniiwelela malamulo a Muluku enahaala okhala yookhwelanaxa ni yoocicimihana navetho enahaala okhala yookhapeleleya. Nyenya Muluku onahaala waathoriha yaale ahiniiwelela malamulo awe eniiha esuwenle.​—Ahebri 13:4.

Nitho nà nolopwana notxhekihaka, wosolà ni rihelà worakamawo.” (Mateu 5:28, 29) Mwawiihiiha nnaphwanela osepa woona epwitikiri ni macipo a acapaheya. Paulo oorepa: “Mwiphe sinawerihani sonanara sa vathiva: otxapaheya.” (Kolosi 3:5) Nnaphwanelatho ovareryela yeeyo nnalocaahu ni nnuupuwelaahu.​—Éfeso 5:3-5.

11. Ntakhara heeni akhweya nnamuchuna muteko onaliva ikhorowa sincipale?

Woona wi ancipale anuupuwela wi muteko onaliva ikhorowa sincipale yoohulela ya ohakalala, nnahaala opacerya wuupuwelaka mmukhalelo yoowotho.

¹² Apwanne eparipari wi muteko onaweerihaani okhala oowerya naari oovuwa onahaalatho oweerihaani okhala oohakalala? Phwee. Muupuwele ela. Satana aachuna okhala oowerya ni oovuwa. Mmukhalelo yoowo, owo aahaakhela yeeyo aachuneiye. Nyenya owo ori oonyeenyeya, ni oohihakalala. (Mateu 4:8, 9; Wupulula 12:12) Moohiyana, nkuupuwelani vooloca sa mukhalelo nnahakalalaahu vaavaa nnaakhaviheryaahu akina ohuserya vooloca sa Muluku ni omwaahiyu woohakalaliha yoowo olaihenryeiye. Hiwaavovo mweelaponi muteko onaliva ikhorowa sincipale yoowo onahaala woovahaani ohakalala wa mukhalelo yoola. Navetho, wi achu ekhaleno muteko onaliva ikhorowa sincipale, onachuneya okhala amapokha, oowali, naari awaakhalela nrima akina. Nyenya awo nlelo hanaphura echu. Piipiliya onaloca wi awo ‘anikara etxheku.’​—Eklesiyas- te 4:4.

13. (1) Nnaphwanela woona hai muteko ahu? (2) Tiheeni yaamweerinhe Paulo okhala oohakalala?

Yesu ooloca: “Havo onawerya walapa asitokwene eli: ntakhara oni anammwitxa mmoha nave anammukhwela mukina, nari oni anammutxhuna mmoha ni anammunyemula mukina. Nyuwo himunawerya omulapa Muluku ni olapa musurukhu.” (Mateu 6:24) Omurumeela Yehova ni waahusiha akina Piipiliya  onahaala onruuhela ohakalala otokotoko. Echu yeela yaaheereya ni Murummwa Paulo. Vaavaa owo aareiye mmiravo, aachuna muteko waaliva ikhorowa sincipale. Ohoolo waya, owo aahikhala oohakalala vancipale vaavaa ooneiye mukhalelo muchaka wa Muluku waatoronkaaya ikumi sa achu aalaleeryeiye. (Mwaalakhanye 1 Tesalónika 2:13, 19, 20.) Hiwaavovo mweelaponi muteko onaliva ikhorowa sincipale onahaala oneeriha okhala oohakalala opwaha omurumeela Yehova ni waahusiha akina vooloca sa yoowo!

14. Ntakhara heeni achu annasiveliwa ni muupuwelo wawi muchu onanwerya omaliha makacamiho awe?

Yoolokoha emoha yaahiloca: “Nthowa nnaweeriha achu okhala phaama ti yawi aalakelela weeriha elapo okhala nipuro noophwanelela.” Apwanne ela eparipari? Apwanne achu aasuwela moomalela mukhalelo wa omaliha makacamiho mulaponi? Hankooni nthokororye iparipari sene.
