Kodi Sheole Na Hade Ndi Ninji?

MU PILONGERO pyakutoma, fala ya Cihebheri sheʹóhl na ya Cigerego haí·des asagumanika m’Bhibhlya m’maulendo akupiringana 70. Mafala anewa mawiri asabveka mbuto inaikhwa anyakufa. Mabhibhlya anango asaathumburuza ninga “nthumbi,” “infernu,” peno “djenje.” Mbwenye mu pilongero pizinji nkhabe mafala toera kuthumburuza mwakundendemera mabvekero andimomwene a mafala anewa a Cihebheri na Cigerego. Natenepa, Bhibhlya ya Tradução do Novo Mundo isaphatisira mafala akuti ‘Sheole’ na ‘Hade.’ Kodi mwandimomwene mafala anewa asabvekanji? Tendeni tione kuti asaphatisirwa tani mu mavesi akusiyana-siyana a Bhibhlya.

Koelete 9:10 isalonga: ‘Ku nyumba ya anyakufa [‘Sheole,’ NM] kunaenda iwe nkhabebve basa, nee pyakunyerezera, nee pyakudziwa, nee pya ndzeru.’ Kodi pyenepi pisabveka kuti Sheole ndi nthumbi ibodzi idaikha ife nyakufunika wathu? Nkhabe. Bhibhlya ingalonga pya mbuto ibodzi inaikhwa anyakufa, peno nthumbi, isaphatisira mafala anango a Cihebheri na a Cigerego, tayu sheʹóhl na haí·des. (Genesi 23:7-9; Mateo 28:1) Pontho, Bhibhlya nkhabe phatisira fala yakuti ‘Sheole’ toera kulonga pya djenje inaikhwa mitembo mizinji pabodzi, peno masiye a banja.​—Genesi 49:30, 31.

Mphapo ‘Sheole’ ndi mbuto ya ntundu wanji? Mafala a Mulungu asapangiza kuti ‘Sheole,’ peno ‘Hade,’ ndi mbuto yakupiringana nthumbi inaikhwa mitembo mizinji. Mwacitsandzo, Izaiya 5:14 isalonga kuti Sheole ndi mbuto ikulu na ‘isafungula mulomo wace onsene.’ Maseze Sheole yamala kukhudyula anthu akufa akukhonda lengeseka, ndzidzi onsene isaoneka ninga iri na njala yakufuna anango. (Misangani 30:15, 16) Mwakusiyana na mbuto yandimomwene inaikhwa anyakufa, yakuti inakwanisa kutambira anthu akufa akulengeseka, ‘Sheole nkhabe khuta.ʼ (Misangani 27:20, NM) Sheole cipo isadzala. Iyo nkhabe madire. Natenepa, Sheole, peno Hade, si mbuto yandimomwene tayu. M’mbuto mwace, ndi nthumbi ya anthu onsene akufa, mbuto yakuphiphirisa inagona anthu mu kufa.

Cipfundziso ca Bhibhlya ca kulamuka muli akufa cisatiphedza kukhala na cidziwiso cakuthimizirika ca mabvekero a ‘Sheole’ na ‘Hade.’ Mafala a Mulungu asapangiza kuti Sheole na Hade ndi mbuto inagona anthu akufa akuti ali na cidikhiro ca kulamuswa muli akufa.a (Yobe 14:13; Machitiro 2:31; Apokalipse 20:13) Mafala a Mulungu asapangizambo kuti ali mu Sheole, peno Hade, si ale adatumikira Yahova basi tayu, mbwenyembo azinji adakhonda kuntumikira. (Genesi 37:35; Masalmo 55:15) Natenepa, Bhibhlya isapfundzisa kuti kunadzaoneka “kulamuka muli akufa kwa anthu adidi na kwa akuipambo.”​—Machitiro 24:15.
