‘BABEYE DIBALA MU MUTU’

(Mika 1:1–7:20)

Mika udi wela mibi ya bena Yuda ne bena Isalele patoke, umanyisha dibutuka dia bimenga biabu bikulu, ulaya kabidi dibapingaja mu maloba abu. Samalea uvua ne bua kulua “mushiki wa mabue mu budimi.” Bua ditendelela diabu dia mpingu, Isalele ne Yuda bavua bakumbanyine kuikala ne “dibala” anyi bundu. Pavuabu babatume mu bupika, dibala diabu divua ne bua kualabala anu “bu dia nyunyu wa mukanku,” bimueneka ne: nyunyu eu ngua nkumbikumbi utu anu ne tumasala tukese ku mutu. Yehowa kubalaya ne: “Bulelela, nensangishe bana benu bonso, Yakoba.” (Mika 1:6, 16; 2:12) Bua bubi bua balombodi ne buntomboji bua baprofete, Yelushalema pende uvua ne bua ‘kuikala bu mishiki ya mabue.’ Kadi Yehowa uvua ne bua ‘kukunguija’ anyi kusangisha bantu bende pamue. Kabidi muntu uvua ne bua kupatuka mu “Betelehema Efelata” “bua kuikala mukokeshi wa bena Isalele.”​—Mika 3:12; 4:12; 5:2.

Yehowa uvua muleje bena Isalele muoyo mubi anyi? Malu atuye ulomba bantu mmapite bukole anyi? Tòo. Tshidi Yehowa yeye ulomba badi bamutendelela ntshia ‘kuenza malu makane, kunanga kuleja bakuabu luse, ne kuenda ne Nzambi wabu ne mutshima mupuekele.’ (Mika 6:8) Kadi bantu ba tshikondo tshia Mika bavua balue bantu babi batambe, bualu umue wabu ‘uvua upita bakuabu buimpe uvua bu dieba, uvua upita bakuabu kulonda malu makane uvua bu lupangu lua mingonga,’ ukengesha yonso uvua usemena pabuipi nende. Kadi muprofete Mika udi wela lukonko ne: ‘Nnganyi udi Nzambi bu [Yehowa]?’ Nzambi nealeje bantu bende kabidi luse ne ‘neele malu mabi abu onso mu ndondo wa mâyi manene.’​—Mika 7:4, 18, 19.

Mandamuna a nkonko ya mu Bible:

2:12​—Ndîba kayi diakakumbana dîyi dia buprofete dia ‘kusangisha difuka dia bena Isalele popamue?’ Diakakumbana musangu wa kumpala mu 537 kumpala kua Yezu pavua difuka dia bena Yuda bavua bashale ne muoyo bapatuke mu bupika ku Babulona bapingane kuabu. Mu matuku etu aa, dîyi edi ndikumbanyine ‘bena Isalele wa Nzambi.’ (Galatia 6:16) Mbasangishe bena Kristo bela manyi popamue ‘bu mikoko mivule mu lupangu’ katshia mu 1919. Padi “tshisumbu tshinene tshia bantu” ba mu “mikoko mikuabo” balue kubalamata, nangananga katshia mu 1935, mbalue “ne mutoyi bualu bua bungi buabo.” (Buakabuluibua 7:9; Yone 10:16) Buonso buabu badi batantshisha ntendelelu mulelela ne lukunukunu.

Miaku ya ne: “bantu ba bungi” ne “bisamba binene bia bantu” kayena ileja bisumbu bia matunga anyi bia tshididi nansha. Kadi miaku eyi idi ileja bantu ba mu bisamba bionso badi  balue batendeledi ba Yehowa. Yehowa udi ulumbulula bilumbu biabu ne ukosa nsambu yabu mu malu adi atangila malanda abu nende.
