Nhoroondo Yakavanzika yeNdima yeMakumi Mana—Nhamba Makumi Maviri neMbiri

Zvino zvakaitika kuti mugore ramakumi matatu, mumwedzi wechina, pazuva rechishanu romwedzi, ndichiri pakati pavatapwa parwizi rweKebhari, matenga akazarurwa, ndikaona zviratidzo zvaMwari. Pazuva rechishanu romwedzi, iro rakanga riri gore rechishanu rokutapwa kwamambo Jehoiakini, shoko raJehovha rakasvika pachena kuna Ezekieri muprista, mwanakomana waBuzi, munyika yavaKaradhea parwizi rweKebhari; ruoko rwaJehovha rwakanga rwuri pamusoro pake ipapo.

Zvino ndakatarira, ndikaona chamupupuri chichibva kuchamhembe, negore guru, nomoto waizvipetapeta, nokupenya kwakanga kwakapoteredza; uye pakati paro maibuda chinhu chakanga chakaita soruvara rweamberi, kubva pakati pomoto. Uyewo kubva pakati paro makabuda mufananidzo wezvisikwa zvina zvipenyu. Uye uku ndiko kwaiva kuonekwa kwazvo; zvakanga zvine mufananidzo womunhu. Uye chimwe nechimwe chaiva nezviso zvina, uye chimwe nechimwe chaiva namapapiro mana. Tsoka dzazvo dzaiva dzakatwasuka; uye pasi petsoka dzazvo pakanga pakaita sepasi petsoka yemhuru; uye zvaipenya soruvara rwendarira yakakwenenzverwa. Uye zvakanga zvine maoko omunhu pasi pamapapiro azvo kumativi azvo mana; uye izvo zvina zvakanga zvine zviso zvazvo namapapiro azvo. Mapapiro azvo akanga akabatanidzwa rimwe nerimwe kune rimwe; hazvina kutendeuka pakufamba kwazvo; chimwe nechimwe chaifamba chakananga mberi. Kana kuri kuumbwa kwezviso zvazvo, izvo zvina zvakanga zvine chiso chomunhu, nechiso cheshumba kurutivi rworudyi; uye izvo zvina zvakanga zvine chiso chenzombe kurutivi rworuboshwe; izvo zvina zvakanga zvinewo chiso chegondo. Ndiwo akanga akaita zviso zvazvo; uye mapapiro azvo akanga akatambanudzirwa kumusoro; mapapiro maviri echimwe nechimwe akanga akabatanidzwa kune rimwe nerimwe, uye maviri aifukidza miviri yazvo.

Vakaenda kila mmoja moja kwa moja mbele; roho ilikokusudia kwenda, ndiko walikokwenda; wala hawakugeuka walipokwenda. Na kwa habari ya mfano wa vile viumbe hai, sura yao ilikuwa kama makaa ya moto yawakayo, na kama mwonekano wa taa; huo moto ulikuwa ukipita huku na huko katikati ya vile viumbe hai; na ule moto ulikuwa na mwangaza mwingi, na katika ule moto zikatoka radi. Nao wale viumbe hai walikimbia na kurudi kama mwonekano wa umeme wa radi. Basi nilipokuwa nikivitazama vile viumbe hai, tazama, gurudumu moja juu ya nchi karibu na vile viumbe hai, kwa ajili ya nyuso zake nne. Mwonekano wa yale magurudumu na kazi yake ulikuwa kama rangi ya almasi ya yakuti ya manjano; nayo yale manne yalikuwa na mfano mmoja; na mwonekano wake na kazi yake ulikuwa kana kwamba gurudumu limo ndani ya gurudumu. Yalipokwenda, yalikwenda upande wa nyuso zake nne; wala hayakugeuka yalipokwenda. Na kwa habari ya duara zake, zilikuwa juu sana, hata zilitisha; nazo duara zake yale manne zilijaa macho pande zote kuzunguka. Na vile viumbe hai walipokwenda, yale magurudumu yalikwenda pamoja navyo; na vile viumbe hai vilipoinuliwa kutoka juu ya nchi, yale magurudumu nayo yakainuliwa. Roho ilikokusudia kwenda, ndiko walikokwenda; huko ndiko roho yao ilikokusudia kwenda; nayo yale magurudumu yakainuliwa pamoja navyo; kwa maana roho ya kile kiumbe hai ilikuwa ndani ya yale magurudumu.

Loko mga tienda, letiwa na tone; loko tienda timina, letiwa na tima; loko tienda tekwaga pamusoro pe nyika, mavhiriwo akakwagwa pamwe nawo; ngokuti mweya wechisikwa chipenyu waiwa mumavhiri. Nepamusoro pemisoro yezvisikwa zvipenyu painga pane chimiro chedenga rakafanana neruvara rwekristaro rinotyisa, rakatambanudzwa pamusoro pemisoro yavo kumusoro. Nepasi pedenga iroro mapapiro avo akanga akarurama, rimwe rakatarisana nerimwe; chimwe nechimwe chaiva namapapiro maviri aifukidza rutivi urwu, uye chimwe nechimwe chaiva namapapiro maviri aifukidza rumwe rutivi, miviri yavo. Zvino pavaifamba, ndakanzwa kutinhira kwamapapiro avo, sokutinhira kwemvura zhinji, senzwi raWamasimba Ose, inzwi rokutaura, sokutinhira kwehondo; pavaimira, vaidzikisa mapapiro avo. Uye kwakanga kune inzwi raibva kudenga rakanga riri pamusoro pemisoro yavo, pavaimira, vadzikisa mapapiro avo. Uye pamusoro pedenga rakanga riri pamusoro pemisoro yavo paiva nechimiro chechigaro choushe, chakafanana pakuonekwa nedombo resafaya; uye pamusoro pechimiro chechigaro choushe paiva nechimiro chakafanana pakuonekwa nomunhu pamusoro pacho. Uye ndakaona sechinhu chakaita seruvara rwesimbi inopenya, chakafanana nokuonekwa kwemoto wakakomberedza mukati maro, kubva pakuonekwa kwechiuno chake zvichikwira; uye kubva pakuonekwa kwechiuno chake zvichidzika, ndakaona chakafanana nokuonekwa kwemoto, uye kwaiva nokupenya kwakakomberedza. Sokuratidzika kwomuraraungu uri mugore pazuva remvura, ndizvo zvakanga zvakaita kuonekwa kwokupenya kwakakomberedza. Uku ndiko kwakanga kuri kuonekwa kwechimiro chokubwinya kwaJehovha. Zvino pandakazviona, ndakawira pasi nechiso changu, ndikanzwa inzwi rowakataura. Ezekieri 1:1–28.

“Ezekieri, muporofita akatapwa anochema, ari munyika yavaKaradhea, akapiwa chiratidzo chaidzidzisa chidzidzo chimwe chetecho chokutenda muna Mwari ane simba waIsraeri. Paakanga ari pamahombekombe erwizi Khebari, chamupupuri chakaita sechaiuya chichibva kuchamhembe, ‘gore guru, nomoto waizviputira mukati mawo, nokupenya kwakanga kwakauchipoteredza, uye pakati pako maibuda chinhu chakanga chakaita seruvara rweamberi.’ Mavhiri anoverengeka aiva nechimiro chinoshamisa, achipindirana, akanga achifambiswa nezvisikwa zvina zvipenyu. Kumusoro zvikuru pamusoro pezvose izvi kwaiva ‘nechifananidzo chechigaro choushe, chakanga chakafanana nokutaridzika kwedombo resafaya; uye pamusoro pechifananidzo chechigaro choushe paiva nechifananidzo chakanga chakafanana nokutaridzika kwomunhu pamusoro pacho.’ ‘Kana kuri kufanana kwezvisikwa zvipenyu, kutaridzika kwazvo kwakanga kwakaita samazimbe omoto anopfuta, uye kwakaita sokutaridzika kwemwenje; kwaikwira nokudzika pakati pezvisikwa zvipenyu; uye moto wacho wakanga wakajeka, uye mumoto maibuda mheni.’ ‘Uye mumakerubhi makaonekwa chimiro cheruoko rwomunhu pasi pamapapiro awo.’”

“Makanga aiva ari mukati memamwe makanga mukurongeka kwakanga kwakaoma zvikuru zvokuti pakutanga kuatarisa kwawo kwakaita kuti Ezekieri aonekwe sokunge zvinhu zvose zvakanga zviri munyonganyonga. Asi paakafamba, kwaiva nokunyatsorongeka kunoyevedza uye nokuwirirana kwakakwana. Zvisikwa zvokudenga ndizvo zvakanga zvichifambisa makanga aya, uye, pamusoro pazvo zvose, pachigaro choushe chinobwinya chesafire, paiva noWokusingaperi; uye chakakomberedza chigaro choushe paiva nomuraraungu wakakomberedza, chiratidzo chenyasha norudo. Akurirwa nokubwinya kunotyisa kwechiitiko ichocho, Ezekieri akawira pasi nechiso chake, apo inzwi rakamuraira kuti asimuke anzwe shoko raShe. Ipapo akapiwa shoko reyambiro kuna Israeri.” Testimonies, 751.

Mugore rakafa mambo Uziya ndakaonawo Ishe vagere pachigaro choushe, chakakwirira uye chakakudzwa kwazvo; mupendero wenguvo yavo ukazadza temberi. Pamusoro pacho pakanga pamire maserafimu; rimwe nerimwe raiva namapapiro matanhatu; namaviri raifukidza chiso charo, namaviri raifukidza tsoka dzaro, uye namaviri raibhururuka. Rimwe rakadanidzira kune rimwe richiti, Mutsvene, mutsvene, mutsvene, ndiye Jehovha wehondo; nyika yose izere nokubwinya kwake. Nembiru dzomusuwo dzakazununguswa nenzwi rowaidanidzira, uye imba ikazadzwa noutsi. Ipapo ndakati, Ndine nhamo ini! nokuti ndaparadzwa; nokuti ndiri munhu wemiromo isina kuchena, uye ndinogara pakati pavanhu vemiromo isina kuchena; nokuti meso angu aona Mambo, Jehovha wehondo. Ipapo rimwe remaserafimu rakabhururuka richiuya kwandiri, rine zembera rinopfuta muruoko rwaro, rainge ratora nembato dzesimbi paaritari; rikaisa pamuromo wangu, rikati, Tarira, ichi chabata miromo yako; uye zvakaipa zvako zvabviswa, nechivi chako chayananisirwa. Ndakanzwawo inzwi raIshe richiti, Ndichatuma ani, uye ndiani achatiendera? Ipapo ndakati, Ndiri pano ini; nditumei. Isaya 6:1–8.

“Chiratidzo ichi chakapiwa kuna Ezekieri panguva iyo pfungwa dzake dzakanga dzizere nekufungira kwakasviba. Akaona nyika yamadzibaba ake yarara dongo. Guta raimbova rizere navanhu rakanga risisagarwi. Inzwi romufaro norwiyo rwokurumbidza zvakanga zvisisanzwiki mukati memasvingo aro. Muporofita pachake akanga ari mutorwa munyika yokumwe, umo kuda kukudzwa kusingaperi noutsinye hwakaipa zvakanga zvichitonga zvikuru. Izvo zvaakaona nezvaakanzwa pamusoro poudzvinyiriri hwavanhu nezvakaipa zvakashungurudza mweya wake, uye akachema neshungu masikati nousiku. Asi zviratidzo zvinoshamisa zvakaiswa pamberi pake pedyo norwizi Khebhari zvakaratidza simba rinotonga pamusoro pezvose, rine simba guru kupfuura remachinda enyika. Pamusoro pamadzimambo anozvikudza uye ane utsinye eAsiria neBhabhironi, Mwari wetsitsi nechokwadi akanga agere pachigaro choushe.”

“Zvinonetsa zvakanga zvakaita samavhiri, izvo zvakaonekwa kumuporofita sezvakabatanidzwa mukuvhiringidzika kwakadai, zvakanga zvichitungamirirwa noruoko rusingaperi. Mweya waMwari, wakaratidzwa kwaari uchifambisa nokutungamirira mavhiri aya, wakaunza kuwirirana kubva mukuvhiringidzika; saizvozvo nyika yose yakanga iri pasi pokutonga kwake. Zviuru nezviuru zvezvisikwa zvakakudzwa zvakanga zvakagadzirira pashoko rake kudzora simba nourongwa hwavanhu vakaipa, uye kuunza zvakanaka kune vakatendeka vake.”

“Saizvozvo, Mwari paakanga ava kuda kuzarurira Johani mudikanwi nhoroondo yekereke yemazera aizouya, akamupa chisimbiso chokufarira no kutarisira kweMuponesi vanhu Vake, nokumuratidza ‘Mumwe wakanga akafanana noMwanakomana womunhu,’ achifamba pakati pezvigadziko zvemwenje, izvo zvaimiririra machechi manomwe. Johani paairatidzwa hondo huru dzokupedzisira dzekereke namasimba enyika, akabvumidzwawo kuona kukunda kwokupedzisira nokununurwa kwavakatendeka. Akaona kereke ichipinzwa mukurwisana kunouraya nechikara nomufananidzo wacho, uye kunamata kwechikara ichocho kuchimanikidzirwa nokutyisidzirwa norufu. Asi achitarisa mhiri kwoutsi noruzha rwehondo, akaona boka paGomo reZiyoni pamwe chete neGwayana, riine, panzvimbo pechiratidzo chechikara, ‘zita raBaba rakanyorwa pahuma dzavo.’ Uyezve akaona ‘vakanga vakunda chikara, nomufananidzo wacho, nechiratidzo chacho, nenhamba yezita racho, vamire pamusoro pegungwa regirazi, vaine rudimbwa rwaMwari’ vachiiimba rwiyo rwaMozisi norweGwayana.”

“Lezi zifundo zenzelwę ukusisiza. Sidinga ukuqinisa ukholo lwethu kuNkulunkulu, ngoba phambi kwethu kukhona isikhathi esizovivinya imiphefumulo yabantu. UKristu, esentabeni yase-Oliva, walandisa ngezahlulelo ezesabekayo ezazizokwandulela ukuza Kwakhe kwesibili: ‘Niyakuzwa ngezimpi nangamahlebezi ezimpi.’ ‘Isizwe siyakuvukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso; kuyakuba khona indlala, nezifo ezibulalayo, nokuzamazama komhlaba ezindaweni eziningi. Konke lokhu kungukuqala kwemihelo.’ Nakuba lezi ziprofetho zafezeka ngokwengxenye ekubhujisweni kweJerusalema, zisebenza ngokuqondile kakhulu ezinsukwini zokugcina.”

“Takamira pachikumbaridzo chezviitiko zvikuru uye zvinoyera. Chiporofita chiri kukurumidza kuzadziswa. Ishe ava pamukova. Nenguva isipi kuchazaruka pamberi pedu nguva inotyisa nokufadza zvikuru kuna vose vapenyu. Makakatanwa ekare achamutswazve; makakatanwa matsva achamuka.

“Asi varanda vaMwari havafaniri kuzvivimba panguva ino yenjodzi huru. Muzviratidzo zvakapiwa kuna Isaya, kuna Ezekieri, uye kuna Johane tinoona kuti denga rakabatana zvakanyanyisa sei nezviri kuitika panyika uye kuti kutarisira kwaMwari kukuru sei kune avo vakatendeka kwaAri.

Hukuru hwekudenga hune mugumo wamarudzi, pamwe chete nezvinhu zvinobata kereke Yake, mukuchengetwa kwaHwo Pachahwo.

“Tinotendera kuti tinzwe kunyanya zvikuru hanya, matambudziko, nokushushikana mubasa raShe. Vanhu vane magumo havana kusiyiwa kuti vatakure mutoro webasa iri voga. Tinofanira kuvimba naMwari, kutenda maari, uye kuenderera mberi.

Mudzidzisi woumwari ari kutaura kumuiti mumwe nomumwe mubasa Rake, sezvaakataura kuna Koreshi kare: ‘Ndakakusunga chiuno, kunyange iwe usina kundiziva.’”

“Mu cerekwa ca Ezekieli, Imana yari ifise ukuboko kwayo munsi y’amababa y’abakerubi. Ivyo ni ukwigisha abasavyi bayo yuko ari ubushobozi bw’Imana bubaha gutsinda. Izokorana na bo nimba bazokuraho ukugabitanya bakaba ababeranda mu mitima no mu buzima.”

“Chiedza chinopenya chichifamba pakati pezvisikwa zvipenyu nokukurumidza kwemheni chinomirira kumhanya uko basa iri richazofambira mberi naro kusvikira rapedzwa. Iye asingambotsimwairi, uyo anoramba achishanda nguva dzose kuti azadzise zvaakaronga, anogona kufambisa mberi basa Rake guru mukuwirirana kwakakwana. Icho chinooneka kupfungwa dzine magumo, dzakabatikana nokukanganisika nezvinhu zvakapfimbana, Ruoko rwaJehovha runogona kuchichengeta chiri muhurongwa hwakakwana. Anogona kuronga nzira nezvombo zvokushanda nazvo kuti akanganise zvinangwa zvavanhu vakaipa, uye achaunza pakuvhiringidzika mazano avaya vanoronga zvakaipa pamusoro pavanhu Vake.”

“Hama, ino haisi nguva zvino yokuchema nokupererwa netariro, haisi nguva yokukundwa nokukahadzika nokusatenda. Kristu haasi zvino Muponesi ari muguva idzva raJosefa, rakavharwa nedombo guru uye rakaiswa chisimbiso chevaRoma; tine Muponesi akamuka kuvakafa.

Kana nhare dzamadzimambo dzichaparadzwa, kana miseve yokutsamwa kwaMwari ichabaya nemumwoyo yavavengi Vake, vanhu Vake vachava vakachengeteka mumaoko Ake.” Testimonies, bhuku 5, 752–754.
