Referring to Israel's history and its importance for the church, the apostle Paul stated in 1 Corinthians 10:11, "These things happened to them to serve as an example, and they were written down to instruct us, on whom the ends of the ages have come."
2 Loko a vulavula hi swiendlakalo ni swiyimo leswi humeleleke vanhu va Xikwembu khale swinene, muapostola Pawulo u te: "Swilo leswi swi va humelerile tanihi swikombiso, naswona swi tsaleriwe leswaku swi va xilemukiso eka hina lava hi fikeriweke hi makumu ya mafambiselo ya swilo." (1 Vakorinto 10:11) Hikwalaho u nga ha tivutisa, 'Xana buku ya Hagayi ni ya Zakariya ti hi pfuna njhani namuntlha?'
