Mukanda unawezela nawa ngwo, “ha mashimbu waze akulinga chiwanyino cha Fantasmas Famintos, chipi-chipi ha ufuku muze kakweji hapwa wa muwundu, [akwa-kunanga] kakufuliela ngwo kuli chimwe chuma chize chakukundamisa atu ni afu.

Yela ja Yehova keshi kulinga chiwanyino cha Halloween ni yiwanyino yikwo ngwe:

  Yiwanyino yize yinakatuka ha Shimbi ya Mose, yize yahwile hanyima lia kufwa cha Yesu.

Mbimbiliya yakwamba nawa ngwo: “Yize yinapu yizulie ya yuma yize muyizaho; alioze umwenemwene wapwa wa Kristu.” (A-Kolosu 2:17) Mumu lia yino ni mumu lia yiwanyino yikwo yinachingi yuma yize yakulimika ni Mbimbiliya, Yela ja Yehova kakwehuka yiwanyino ngwe:

  • Hanuká. Chiwanyino chino chinatale ha kwiwuluka tangwa lia kutumbikila tembele ya A-Yunda mu Yerusaleme. Chipwe chocho, Mbimbiliya yakwamba ngwo, Yesu kapwa Sasendote wa Lutwe ku “mbalaka yinene yahiana ni yingunu yahiana, kayitungile ni moko, te hi ya ku kutanga chino ko.” (A-Hepreu 9:11) Kuli Akwa-Kristu, tembele yino ya ku spiritu yasalakanyine tembele ya mu Yerusaleme.

Mumu nyi munulingila tuzambi two, chamwenemwene kumuchikapwa kambwila kuli yenu.” (Kutuhuka 23:32, 33) Kashika, Yela ja Yehova keshi kuya ha yiwanyino ngwe:

Chiwanyino chino “chapwishile yiwanyino ya mahuza ngwe ya Akwa-Kristu, yize yapwile ni kulemesa tuzambi a meya ni ngiji.” Chiwanyino chikwo chalifwa ni cha Timkat, “chinakatuka ha mianda ya atu.”—Enciclopédia da Sociedade e da Cultura do Mundo Antigo.

Hakutwala ku tangwa litangu lia chiwanyino chino, mukanda wacho unambe nawa ngwo: “Ndako ya akwa-kufuliela waze akutambula uto ha tangwa Liamatatu lia Uto, te kakuyilinga mu yihela yinji chize ha Sínodo de Benevento, ha mwaka 1091.”

Ha chiwanyino chino, atu kakuwika kahia ni kuhangana kusesa lia jiko liacho.” Alioze, Yela ja Yehova keshi kuzachisa kulusu mu uwayilo wo.

• Shina tangwa lino lia kunanga liakuhalisa mutu, umwe ululikiso hanji chimwe chifuchi?

  Shimbi ya Mbimbiliya: “Yehova kanambe ngwenyi, Kashingiwa mutu yoze unafuliela mutu, kakutenga atu a musunya kwoko lienyi, mbunge yenyi yakuteuluka kuli Yehova.”—Jeremia 17:5.

  Chipwe ngwe Yela ja Yehova kakuvumbika atu, hamwe ni kwatongola mu yilemba yo, nihindu ayo keshi kuya mu yiwanyino yino:

  Chiwanyino cha tangwa lia kunanga lize lia kulemesa umwe nguvulu hanji umwe mutu mulemu. Mbimbiliya yakwamba ngwo: “Tewuluka kuli mutu yoze uli ni mwiku wenyi mu mazulu, mumu ulemu uka ali nawo?” (Izaia 2:22) Mumu lia chino, Yela ja Yehova keshi kuya ha yiwanyino ya tangwa lia kusemuka cha umwe mwanangana hanji mwazovu.

  Chiwanyino cha pandela ya chifuchi. Yela ja Yehova keshi kulinga chiwanyino cha Tangwa lia Pandela. Mumu liaka?

Alioze, umwe mukwa-kuhengwola sango ja shakulu kasonekene ngwenyi, hakutwala ku kuzanga chinji chifuchi, ‘pandela chili chimwe chilayi chize atu akuwayila mu chifuchi.’

  Tangwa lia kunanaga lize akuhalisa umwe mutu hanji chuma chisandu. Yika yinakalingiwa muze umwe lunga yoze te wakuvwila Zambi woma afulamine ku molu ja postolo Petulu? Mbimbiliya yakwamba ngwo: “Petulu yamukatwisa ngwenyi: “Katuka; ni yami nguli wika mutu.” (Yilinga 10:25, 26) Chizechene ngwe Petulu, ni apostolo akwo waze kakatayijile kwawayila chipwe kufulamana ku molu jo, Yela ja Yehova no keshi kuya ha yiwanyino yize yakuhalisa atu hanji yuma ngwe:

  • Tangwa lia Asandu Eswe. “Chino chili chiwanyino chize chakuhalisa asandu eswe . . . Niumwe uli ni shindakenyo ya chize chiwanyino chino chaputukile wakuhi.”—Nova Enciclopédia Católica.

  • Chiwanyino cha Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe. Kulita ni mukanda umwe, chiwanyino chino chakulemesa “Santa padroeira do México,” yoze atu anji akufuliela ngwo kali Maria naye ya Yesu. Atu anji kakufuliela nawa ngwo, iye kasolokele kuli umwe njimi ha mwaka 1531.—Enciclopédia Greenwood da Literatura Latina.

  Yiwanyino yize yakutala ha yuma ya mafwefwe. Mbimbiliya yakwamba ngwo: “Shinaho kuchinyina kuli Yehova, hi kufuliela mutu ko.” (Samu 118:8, 9) Mba achine kusolola ngwo kakufuliela muli atu, Yela ja Yehova keshi kuya ha yiwanyino ngwe ha Tangwa lia Mapwo ni Tangwa lia Akweze yize yinatale ha yuma ya mafwefwe. Mumu lia chino, ayo keshi kuya nawa ha chiwanyino cha lipanda. Shimbu ajikijile muli atu, Yela ja Yehova kakujikijila ngwo Wanangana wa Zambi we mukahwisa katonde ni lamba.—A-Roma 2:11; 8:21.

• Shina tangwa lino lia kunanga liakusolola ngwo vungu limwe hanji chifuchi chimwe chili chilemu kuhiana yifuchi yikwo?

  Shimbi ya Mbimbiliya: “Zambi keshi katonde. Mumu ku mavungu eswe iye kakutayiza yoze wakumuvwila woma ni kulinga yuma yalita.”—Yilinga 10:34, 35.

  Chipwe ngwe Yela ja Yehova kakuzanga chifuchi chize asemukinyine, nihindu ayo keshi kuya ku yiwanyino yize yakuhalisa chifuchi, vungu limwe hanji munyachi ngwe yize yili mushi:

  Yiwanyino yize yakuhalisa maswalale mu chifuchi. Shimbu akolweze tumbaji twenyi kulinga jita, Yesu kaalwezele ngwenyi: “Nungenu ni kuzanga akwa-kole jenu, ni kulembela waze akunuhungumiona.” (Mateu 5:44) Mumu lia chino, Yela ja Yehova keshi kuya ha yiwanyino yize yakuhalisa maswalale ni yiwanyino yikwo ngwe:

  • Tangwa lia Anzac. Kulita ni mukanda umwe, “liji Anzac linalumbunuka maswalale a mu Austrália ni Nova Zelândia.” Chikwo nawa, “hakupalika cha mashimbu, tangwa lia Anzac yilipwa tangwa lia kwiwuluka atu waze afwile ku jita.”—Dicionário Histórico da Austrália.

  • Tangwa lia Tujita Akulu (Tangwa lia Kwiwuluka). Kulita ni mukanda umwe, yiwanyino yino, yakuhalisa “maswalale waze ashile jita mu chifuchi ha miaka yinji kunyima ni atu waze afwile ku jita mu chifuchi.”

  Chiwanyino cha utuswilo hanji lipanda. Yesu kambile kuli tumbaji twenyi ngwenyi: “O hi akwa hashi ko, chizechene ngwe yami hi nguli mukwa hashi ko.” (Yoano 17:16) Chipwe ngwe kakuzanga kunyingika sango ja chifuchi cho, Yela ja Yehova keshi kuya ha yiwanyino ngwe yino:

  • Tangwa lia Austrália. Kulita ni mukanda umwe, chiwanyino chino chinatale ha limwe tangwa ha mwaka 1788 muze maswalale a mu Inglaterra azundwile pandela ni kutwa mutambi ngwo chifuchi cha Austrália chapwa chihanda cha chifuchi cho.

  • Tangwa lia lipanda. Mu yifuchi yinji, tangwa lino liapwa tangwa lize akwiwuluka mashimbu waze chifuchi chikwo chechele kusongwela chifuchi cho.

• Shina ha tangwa lino lia kunanga, atu kakusolola yitanga yize kuyalitele ni Mbimbiliya?

  Shimbi ya Mbimbiliya: “Mumu kunahu hali yenu miaka yize yapalika kulinga upale wa akwa mavungu, ni kwenda mu ujila, ni usolo, ni kunwa vinyu, ni chimbangwinya, ni kunwanwa walwa, ni kukombelela cha kuzelwokesa.”—1 Petulu 4:3.

  Kulita ni shimbi yino, Yela ja Yehova kakwehuka yiwanyino yize yakukolweza kunwa chinji walwa ni yize yakusolola yitanga yipi yize yakuvwisa Yehova lwaji. Yela ja Yehova kakuzanga kupwa hamwe ni masepa jo, chikwo nawa, amwe mahasa kusakula kunwa ndambu ya walwa. Nihindu, ayo kakusa tachi hanga akaule shimbi yino ya Mbimbiliya: “Chipwe munulia, hanji mununwa, hanji cheswacho munulinga, lingenu yuma yeswe ha uhenya wa Zambi.”—1 A-Korindu 10:31.

  Kashika, Yela ja Yehova keshi kuya ha yiwanyino yize yakukolweza kulinga yuma yize Mbimbiliya yakukanjisa. Yino yinachingi chiwanyino cha Purim. Ku mashimbu a kunyima, Purim liapwile tangwa lia utuswilo wa A-Yunda ha sekulu yamuchitano K.M.J. Alioze, mukanda umwe unambe ngwo, musono chiwanyino cha Purim “muchihasa kupwa ngwe chiwanyino cha A-Yunda cha Mardi Gras hanji Carnaval.” Atu waze akuya ku chiwanyino chino, kanji-kanji kanachingi malunga kuzala mahina a mapwo, kunwa walwa unji ni kuneha zungo linji.

Ewa. Mbimbiliya yakutulongesa ngwo atu katamba kuzanga ni kuvumbika asoko jo eswe chipwe ngwe uwayilo wo unalise. (1 Petulu 3:1, 2, 7) Muze umwe chela cha Yehova akwecha kupwa ha yiwanyino yimwe, amwe asoko jenyi mahasa kulivwa chipi. Kashika, Yela ja Yehova kakusa tachi hanga akwase asoko jo kupwa ni shindakenyo ngwo, kakwazanga chinji, ni kwalumbunwina mumu liaka o akwachile chiyulo cha kwehuka yiwanyino yimwe ni kwameneka ha mashimbu amwe.

Shina Yela ja Yehova kakushinjila atu akwo kwecha kulinga yiwanyino yimwe?

Ka. Ayo kakufuliela ngwo, mutu ni mutu katamba kukwata chiyulo chenyi mwene. (Yoshua 24:15) Yela ja Yehova “kakulemesa atu eswe” chipwe ngwe uwayilo wo unalise ni wa ayo.—1 Petulu 2:17.
