UkuFakaza EButhweni LabonoGada BesiGodlweni | Isifundo\nMnyaka ka-59 C.E. Hlangana neenthunjwa zamasotja adinwe likhambo, isiqhema seembotjhwa singena eRoma ngeyege ebizwa ngokobana iPorta Capena. EmBundwini wePalatine kunesigodlo somBusi uNero, esigadwe liButho lamasotja wesigodlweni afihle iinsabula zawo ngaphasi kwe-toga [ivunulo yawo yesiRoma]. * Umphathi wamasotja alikhulu uJulius udosaphambili iimbotjhwa bangena ekundleni yamaRoma bakhuphuke njalo nomBundu weViminal. Badlula esimini enama-aldara wabosingazimu bamaRoma begodu badlula ekundleni lapho lapho amasotja azibandula khona.\nIsithombe esibunjiweko samasotja weButho labonoGada besiGodlo okucatjangwa bona sivela e-Arch of Claudius, eyakhiwa ngo-51 C.E.\nUmpostoli uPowula bekahlangana neembotjhwezo. Eenyangeni ezidlulileko nekasesikepeni ebesibindwa ziinwuruwuru, ingilozi kaZimu yathi kuPowula: ‘Kufanele ujame phambi koMbusi [uKhesari].’ (IzE. 27:24) Inga-kghani ngilokho uPowula ebekazokuqalana nakho? Nekaqalisisa ehloko dorobha yomBusi weRoma, akunakuzaza bona bekacabanga ngamezwi iKosi uJesu amtjela wona esiQongolweni se-Antonia eJerusalema. UJesu wathi, “Yiba nesibindi! Unikele ngami ubufakazi eJerusalema, yeke yewenze njalo neRoma.”—IzE. 23:10, 11.\nMhlamunye uPowula wajama kancani bona aqale i-Castra Praetoria—umakhiwo omkhulu wesiphephelo onamaboda akhiwe ngesitina esibovu, oneenthala ngaphezulu. Emakhiweni loyo kuhlala amapholisa wendawo kunye namalunga weButho labonoGada besiGodlo abagada umbusi. Njengombana kunama-cohort * ali-12 wabonoGada besiGodlweni namasotja wedorobho aziinkulungwana ezinengi ajanyiswe lapho, ngalokho-ke bekungaba neenkulungwana ezinengi zamasotja kuhlanganise nebutho elikhamba ngeempera. I-Castra Praetoria beyikhumbuza abantu ngomthombo wegunya lombusi. Njengombana bekumsebenzi weButho labonoGada besiGodlo ukutlhogomela iimbotjhwa ezivela eemfundeni, uJuliyu udosaphambili isiqhema sakhe bangene nge-Porta Capena, okungenye yeenyege ezine ezikulu. Ngemva kwekhambo eliyingozi elithethe iinyanga ezinengi, emaswapheleni uletha iimbotjhwa zakhe endaweni efaneleko.—IzE. 27:1-3, 43, 44.\nUMPOSTOLI UTJHUMAYELA “NGAPHANDLE KWESITHIYO”\nHlangana nekhambo, uPowula wafumana imibono evela kuZimu ememezela bona soke isiqhema besizokuphuluka ekuphihlizekeni komkhumbi. Ukulunywa yinyoka enetjhefu akhenge kumlimaze. Wapholisa abagulako esihlengeleni seMalta, lapho abantu bakhona bathi bekangusingazimu. Iindaba zezehlakalwezo bezingundaba mlonyeni eButhweni labonoGada besoGodlo elikholelwa elizeni.\nUPowula besele ababonile abanakwabo beRoma ‘beza kuye ngeMargeni ye-Apiyosi abanye ngemaWotela amaThathu bazomhlangabeza.’ (IzE. 28:15) Kodwana njengesibotjhwa, bekangasizalisa njani isifiso sokurhuwelela iindaba ezimnandi eRoma? (Rom. 1:14, 15) Abanye bacabanga bona kungenzeka iimbotjhwa zathathwa zasiwa kumphathi wabonogada. Nengabe kunjalo, uPowula kungenzeka wasiwa kumphathi wamaButho wabonoGada besiGodlweni u-Afranius Burrus, mhlamunye ogade angewesibili ophakemeko ngemva kombusi. * Kinanyana ngibuphi ubujamo, kunokobana agadwe baphathi bamasotja alikhulu, uPowula ugadwa lisotja linye elisesigabeni esivamileko eButhweni labonoGada besiGodlweni. UPowula bekavunyelwe bona azifumanele indawo yokuhlala begodu bekavunyelwe ukumukela iimvakatjhi bekatjhumayele kizo “ngaphandle kwesithiyo.”—IzE. 28:16, 30, 31.\n“IButho LabonoGada BesiGodlweni NgeenKhathi ZakaNero”\nImali yesimbi le eyenziwa ngekhulu lokuthoma inomfanekiso wekampa leButho labonoGada besiGodlo\nIButho labonoGada besiGodlo belingaphasi kwesifungo sokuvikela umbusi nomndenakhe. Nelisejimeni lepi belimbatha izembatho zepi ezivamileko ezinomfanekiso wombusi neenhlangwini zalo bekunetshwayo labofezela lelanga lamabeletho kaTibheriyasi Khesari. Belibulunga ukuthula kwezemidlalo nemidlalweni yetjhatjhalazi begodu beliqinisa nomnyango weencimamlilo lidoswaphambili ziinkhulu zomphakathi nezepi. Amasotja bekakhonza iminyaka eli-16, esikhundleni sokukhonza ema-25 ebuthweni, belifumana umrholo obuyelelwe kathathu, ibhonasi enengi, nomrholo obonakalako womhlalaphasi. AbonoGada besiGodlo bebasetjenziswa bona bahlunguphaze begodu babulale iimbotjhwa. Ekubotjhweni kwakhe kwesibili, uPowula kungenzeka wafela ikholo ezandleni zamasotja anjengalawo alinga ukuwaphulusa.—2 Thi. 4:16, 17.\nUPOWULA UFAKAZA KWABANCANI NAKWABAKHULU\nIndlela amaboda weCastra Praetoria abonakala ngayo namhlanje\nHlangana nekambiswakhe yokuhlulela, kungenzeka bona uBurrus bekamphenya umpostoli uPowula, mhlamunye lokhu bekwenzeka esigodlweni namtjhana ekampeni yabonoGada besiGodlo ngaphambi kokobana umlandu usiwe kuNero. UPowula khenge aphundwe lithuba elikhethekilekweli ‘lokufakaza kibo boke abancani nabakhulu.’ (IzE. 26:19-23) Kungakhathaliseki bona uBurrus waphetha ngaliphi, uPowula khenge ayiswe ejele kodwana waba sekampeni yabonoGada besiGodlo. *\nIndawo yokuhlala uPowula egade ayiqatjhile, ikulu ngokwaneleko bona angakwazi ukwamukela “iinkhulu zamaJuda” begodu afakaze kizo kuhlanganise ‘nenani elikhulu lazo eleza lapha gade ahlala khona.’ Bekunamasotja weButho labonoGada besiGodlo elamuzwa “anikela ubufakazi obupheleleko, [NW]” kumaJuda malungana nomBuso noJesu, “kusukela ekuseni kufikela ebusuku.”—IzE. 28:17, 23.\nHlangana nokubotjhwa kwakaPowula, amasotja amuzwa atjho lokho ekufuze kutlolwe eencwadini\nAmaButho wesiGodlweni bekadlhegana qobe ngemva kwama-awara abunane. Unogada kaPowula naye bekatjhentjhwa qobe. Hlangana neminyaka eembili yokubotjhwa kompostoli lo, amasotja amuzwa akhuluma lokho okuzotlolwa encwadini eya kwebe-Efesu, kwebeFilipi, kwebeKolose nakumaKrestu amaHebheru begodu ambona atlolela umKrestu onguFilimoni incwadi. Nakasabotjhiweko, uPowula watjheja ngokukhethekileko isigqila esabalekako, u-Onesimusi, ‘ngombana nakasesikhungweni waba nguyise ngokomoya,’ wamthumela ekosinakhe. (Filim. 10) Akunazaza bona uPowula bekabatjhejisisa abonogada bakhe. (1 Kor. 9:22) Singambona ekhumbulwenethu abuza isotja ngomnqopho weengcenye zezambatho zepi ezihlukahlukeneko begodu azisebenzisa njengomfanekiso omuhle.—Efe. 6:13-17.\n‘UKUTJHUMAYELA ILIZWI LAKAZIMU NGAPHANDLE KOKUSABA’\nUkubotjhwa kwakaPowula kwaba nomthelela ‘ekurageliseni ivangeli phambili’ hlangana neButho labonoGada besiGodlo nabanye. (Fil. 1:12, 13) Abantu abahlala eCastra Praetoria bebakghona ukuthintana nawo woke umuntu emBusweni wamaRoma, kuhlanganise umbusi nabahlala kwakhe. Abahlala kwakhe bahlanganisa amalunga womndeni, iinceku neengqila, abanye babo baba maKrestu. (Fil. 4:22) Ngebanga lokufakaza kwakaPowula ngesibindi, abazalwana eRoma bafumana isikhuthazo ‘sokutjhumayela ilizwi lakaZimu ngaphandle kokusaba.’—Fil. 1:14.\nKunanyana ngibuphi ubujamo esikibo, singakhuluma nabantu abasenzela izinto ezihlukahlukeneko\nUkufakaza kwakaPowula eRoma mthombo wesikhuthazo nakithi njengombana ‘sitjhumayela ilizwi lakaZimu namtjhana kusikhathi esifaneleko nanyana kungasiso.’ (2 Thi. 4:2) Abanye kithi bavaleleke ngeendlini zabo, emakhaya atlhogomela abalupheleko, eembhedlela, ngitjho nemajele ngebanga lekholo lethu. Kunanyana ngibuphi ubujamo esikibo, singakhuluma nabantu mhlamunye abasitlhogomelako namtjhana abasenzela izinto ezihlukahlukeneko. Nesifakaza ngesibindi kibo boke ubujamo, singazibonela mathupha bona “ilizwi lakaZimu alikabotjhwa.”—2 Thi. 2:8, 9.\nUSextus Afranius Burrus\nUmtlolo onebizo lakaSextus Afranius Burrus\nUBurrus wabelethelwa eVaison-la-Romaine, namhlanje isesewula yeFrance, lapho umtlolo onebizo lakhe wafumaneka khona ngo-1884 C.E. Ngo-51 C.E., wakhutjhulelwa esikhundleni sakhe yedwa sokuba mphathi wabonoGada besiGodlo ngu-Agrippina omNcani, ongumtjhana nomkaKlawudiyusi Khesari. U-Agrippina wabandula indodanakhe encani, uNero, bona abe mbusi ngaphasi kokunqophisa kwababanduli ababili. Omunye wabo gade kunguBurrus, olisotja eliphakameko elambandula kezepi. Omunye gade kusisazi sefilosofi uSeneca, owathuthukisa ukuhlakanipha kwakaNero. Ngokukhamba kwesikhathi, u-Agrippina wathelela indodakwakhe itjhefu. Ngaphambi kokobana indaba yokufa kwakaKlawudiyusi irhatjheke, uBurrus waphekelela uNero eCastra Praetoria wenza bona abonoGada besiGodlo bambeke bonyana abe mbusi, wakatelela bomKhandlu bona bavumelane nesiquntweso. UNero nekabulala unina ngo-59 C.E., uBurrus wayifihla indaba leyo. Izazimlando ezimaRoma uSuetonius noCassius Dio zathi uNero wathelela uBurrus itjhefu ngo-62 C.E.\n^ isig. 2 Qala ibhoksi elinesihloko esithi “IButho LabonoGada BesiGodlweni NgeenKhathi ZakaNero.”\n^ isig. 4 I-cohort bekusiqhema samasotja wamaRoma ayi-1 000.\n^ isig. 7 Qala ibhoksi elinesihloko esithi “USextus Afranius Burrus.”\n^ isig. 9 UTibheriyasi Khesari wavalela uHerodi Agripa kilendawo ngo-36 kuya ku-37 C.E. ngebanga lokuveza isifiso sakhe sokobana uCaligula kungenzeka abe mbusi msinyana. Ngemva kokobana athathe iintambo zokubusa, uCaligula wavuza uHerodi ngobukhosi.—IzE. 12:1.


ifundani Emibonweni KaZekhariya? | Isifundo\n“Buyelani kimi, . . . lami ngizabuya kini.”—ZEK. 1:3.\nIZINGOMA: 6, 20\nUJehova uthini ngokuntshontsha?\nSingasigcwalisa njani nsuku zonke isifungo sokuzinikela kuNkulunkulu esasenzayo?\nSingenzani ukuze sigcine inhlanganiso kaJehova ihlanzekile?\n1-3. (a) Sasinjani isimo ko-Israyeli ngesikhathi uZekhariya eqalisa ukuphrofetha? (b) Kungani uJehova watshela abantu bakhe ukuthi ‘babuyele kuye’?\nIBHUKU likaZekhariya lisitshela ngemibono emangalisayo eyabonwa ngumphrofethi lo. Wabona umqulu wencwadi ondizayo, owesifazana ovalelwe phakathi kwesilulu loba ibhasikiti kanye labesifazana ababili abalempiko ezifana lezengabuzane. (Zek. 5:1, 7-9) Kungani uJehova watshengisa umphrofethi wakhe imibono le? Izimo zazinjani kuma-Israyeli ngalesosikhathi? Imibono le isifundisani thina lamuhla?\n2 Kwakungumnyaka ka-537 B.C.E. * futhi abako-Israyeli babethokoza ngoba basebekhululiwe elizweni leBhabhiloni abasebehlale kulo iminyaka engu-70 beyizigqili. Bathi befika eJerusalema bahle baqalisa umsebenzi wokwakha ithempeli ukuze bavuselele ukukhonza kweqiniso. Ngakho ngo-536 basebeqedile ukumisa isisekelo sethempeli. Ngemva kwalokho kwaba lokuthokoza okukhulu, abantu ‘benza umsindo omangalisayo njalo umsindo lowo wezwakala kude.’ (Ezra. 3:10-13) Kodwa kungakayi ngaphi izitha zaqalisa ukubethusela abako-Israyeli. Lokhu kwabangela ukuthi batshiye ukwakha ithempeli baqalise ukuzenzela eyabo imisebenzi. Yafuqana iminyaka yaze yaba ngu-16 umsebenzi ulokhu umile. Abako-Israyeli babekudinga sibili ukukhuthazwa ukuze babuyele kuJehova njalo baqakathekise ukumkhonza ukwedlula ezinye izinto. UJehova wayefuna batshiyane lokwesaba abantu njalo bamkhonze ngenhliziyo yonke.\n3 Yikho ngo-520 B.C.E. wathuma umphrofethi uZekhariya ukuthi ayebakhumbuza isizatho sokukhululwa kwabo eBhabhiloni. Ibizo lomphrofethi lo litsho ukuthi “UJehova Usekhumbulile.” Lokhu kutshengisa ukuthi uJehova wayelokhu ebakhumbula lanxa bona basemkhohliwe. (Bala uZekhariya 1:3, 4.) UJehova wabathembisa ukuthi wayezabancedisa ukuthi babuyisele ukukhonza kweqiniso njalo wabaxwayisa ukuthi wayengeke abamukele nxa bembaxambili ekukhonzeni. Ake sibone ukuthi umbono wesithupha lowesikhombisa owabonwa nguZekhariya wabanceda njani abako-Israyeli. Sizabona lokuthi kuyini esikufundayo emibonweni le.\nUJEHOVA UYAKUZONDA UKUNTSHONTSHA\n4. UZekhariya wabonani embonweni wesithupha njalo kungani umqulu wawubhalwe amacele wonke? (Khangela umfanekiso 1 osekuqaliseni.)\n4 Ivesi yokuqala kusahluko 5 sebhuku likaZekhariya isitshela ngombono wesithupha uZekhariya awubonayo. (Bala uZekhariya 5:1, 2.) Embonweni lo uZekhariya wabona umqulu wencwadi undiza emoyeni futhi wawungamamitha angu-9 ubude langu-4.5 ububanzi. Okwakujayelekile ngalesosikhathi yikuthi umqulu wawugoqwa njalo wawulotshwa icele elilodwa kuphela. Kodwa okumangalisayo yikuthi lo wawuvuliwe futhi ubhalwe amacele womabili. (Zek. 5:3) Lokhu kutshengisa ukuthi wawumumethe umlayezo oqakatheke kakhulu lokuthi wawusukulungele ukubalwa.\nUJehova kakhangelelanga ukuthi sintshontshe loba sekutheni! (Khangela izindima 5-7)\n5, 6. UJehova uthini ngokuntshontsha?\n5 Bala uZekhariya 5:3, 4. Bonke abantu bazakwahlulelwa ngenxa yalokho abakwenzayo. Kodwa isahlulelo sikaJehova sizakuba sikhulu kakhulu kithi esibizwa ngebizo lakhe. Ngakho siyakubalekela ukuntshontsha ngoba siyakwazi ukuthi ‘kuyaliyangisa ibizo’ likaNkulunkulu wethu. (Zaga. 30:8, 9) Abanye abantu bacabanga ukuthi akukubi ukuntshontsha ikakhulu nxa ulesizathu esihle. Loba kunjalo umcabango wabo unxele ngoba ukuntshontsha kutshengisa ukuthi umuntu kalandaba loJehova lokuthi kalihloniphi ibizo lakhe kanye lemithetho yakhe.\n6 Ubonile yini ukuthi uZekhariya 5:3, 4 uthi isithuko sizangena endlini yesela sihlale khona njalo siyichithize? Lokhu kutshengisa ukuthi akulalutho esingalufihlela uJehova ngoba uyakubona konke esikwenzayo. Ngakho lanxa umuntu engafihlela amapholisa, abaqhatshi bakhe, abadala bebandla loba abazali bakhe ukuthi untshontshile, ngeke amfihlele uNkulunkulu futhi uzakuba leqiniso lokuthi lesosono siyavezwa obala. (Heb. 4:13) Siyambonga kakhulu uJehova ngokusidonsela enhlanganisweni yakhe elabantu abazimisele ukuhlala beqotho ‘ngezindlela zonke.’—Heb. 13:18.\n7. Singakubalekela njani ukubhujiswa ndawonye labantu ababi?\n7 UJehova uyakuzonda ukuntshontsha, kalakuthi untshontshe into encane kumbe enkulu. Ukwazi lokhu kuyasifuqa ukuthi silalele imithetho yakhe futhi siphile ngendlela engasoze yenze abantu bagcone ibizo lakhe. Singenza njalo siyabe sibalekela isithuko, okutsho ukubhujiswa okuzakwehlela abantu abephula imithetho kaJehova ngabomo.\nGCWALISA IZIFUNGO ZAKHO NSUKU ZONKE\n8-10. (a) Kuyini isifungo? (b) Yisiphi isifungo iNkosi uZedekhiya eyehluleka ukusigcwalisa?\n8 Okunye okutholakala emqulwini wencwadi ondizayo yisixwayiso esiqondane labantu ‘abafunga amanga ngebizo [likaNkulunkulu].’ (Zek. 5:4) Isifungo ngamazwi akhulunywa ngumuntu eqinisa ukuthi lokho akutshoyo kuliqiniso kumbe isithembiso asenzayo sokuthi uzakwenza okuthile loba hatshi.\n9 Ukwenza isifungo ngebizo likaJehova yindaba eqakathekileyo okungamelanga siyithathe lula. Ngokwesibonelo uZedekhiya inkosi yokucina ukubusa eJerusalema yenza isifungo ngebizo likaNkulunkulu ithembisa ukuthi izazehlisa enkosini yaseBhabhiloni. Kodwa okudanisayo yikuthi kazange asigcine lesosifungo ngakho uJehova wathi: “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona, . . . [uZedekhiya] uzafela eBhabhiloni, elizweni lenkosi eyambeka esihlalweni sobukhosi, esifungo sayo wasidelela wephula lesivumelwano sayo.”—Hez. 17:16.\n10 UJehova wayekhangelele ukuthi uZedekhiya agcwalise isifungo lesi ngoba wayesenze ngebizo lakhe. (2 ImiLan. 36:13) Kodwa yena kazange akwenze lokho, wasuka wayacela uncedo enkosini yaseGibhithe ukuthi imkhulule kwabaseBhabhiloni.—Hez. 17:11-15, 17, 18.\n11, 12. (a) Yisiphi isifungo esiqakatheke kakhulu esasenzayo? (b) Kumele senzeni okutshengisa ukuthi siyasigcwalisa nsuku zonke isifungo lesi?\n11 UJehova uyabe elalele nxa sisenza izithembiso loba izifungo futhi uyathokoza kakhulu nxa esibona sizigcwalisa. (Hubo. 76:11) Isifungo esiqakatheke kakhulu uJehova akhangelele ukuthi sisigcine yileso esasenza ngesikhathi sizinikela kuye. Nxa uzinikela kuJehova uyabe umthembisa ukuthi uzamkhonza okwempilo yakho yonke kumnyama kubomvu.\n12 Singasigcwalisa njani isifungo lesi ‘insuku ngensuku’? Enye indlela esingakwenza ngayo lokhu yikuqhubeka sithembekile kuye lanxa siphakathi kobunzima. (Hubo. 61:8) Ngokwesibonelo esikolo loba emsebenzini othile angazidlisa satshanyana kuwe edlala ngothando, uzatshengisa yini ukuthi uyayilalela imithetho kaJehova? (Zaga. 23:26) Nxa ngakini kunguwe wedwa uFakazi uyamcela yini uNkulunkulu ukuthi akuncedise ukuthi uqhubeke uphila ngendlela emthokozisayo? Kungelani lokuthi siphakathi kwasiphi isimo, kumele simbonge nsuku zonke uNkulunkulu ngokusithanda kwakhe lokusivumela ukuthi sibe senhlanganisweni yakhe. Okunye okumele sikwenze nsuku zonke yikubala iBhayibhili. Ngesikhathi sizinikela kuJehova kufanana lokuthi sasimthembisa ukuthi sizazenza zonke lezizinto. Ngakho nxa sikwenza konke lokhu siyabe sitshengisa ukuthi siyamthanda lokuthi siphilela yena. Kanti njalo ukukhonza kasikwenzeli umthetho nje kodwa kuyingxenye yokuphila kwethu eqakatheke kakhulu. Nxa singahlala sithembekile kuJehova uzasinika umvuzo wokuphila phakade.—Dute. 10:12, 13.\n13. Sifundeni embonweni wesithupha kaZekhariya?\n13 Sifundeni embonweni wesithupha kaZekhariya? Umbono lo usenze sabona ukuthi uJehova uyakuzonda ukuntshontsha lokwenza izifungo ezingamanga. Sibonile lokuthi uJehova kazange abalahle abantu bakhe lanxa babephambanisa. Wayebuzwisisa ubunzima ababephakathi kwabo ngoba babegonjolozelwe yizitha. UJehova uyisibonelo esihle endabeni yokugcina izithembiso njalo uzasincedisa lathi ukuthi sigcine ezethu. Enye indlela asincedisa ngayo yikuqhubeka esikhumbuza ukuthi sekuseduze ukuthi asuse bonke ububi emhlabeni. Umbono kaZekhariya olandelayo usenza sibe lethemba lokuthi uzakwenza lokhu.\n14, 15. (a) UZekhariya wabonani embonweni wesikhombisa? (Khangela umfanekiso 2 osekuqaliseni.) (b) Umelani owesifazana osesilulwini njalo ukuvalelwa kwakhe kutshengisani?\n14 Embonweni wesikhombisa ingilosi yatshela uZekhariya ukuthi ‘avuse amehlo.’ Wathi evusa amehlo wabona isilulu esasilesiciko. (Bala uZekhariya 5:5-8.) Sathi sivulwa isilulu leso uZekhariya wabona phakathi kwaso “kuhlezi owesifazana.” Ingilosi yamtshela yathi “Lobu yibubi.” Ngemva kwalokho uZekhariya wabona owesifazana lo esezama ukuphuma esilulwini kodwa khonokho nje ingilosi yamfuqela phakathi yasivala ngesiciko. Kutshoni lokhu?\n15 Umbono lo utshengisa ukuthi uJehova kafuni lakancane ukubona ububi phakathi kwabantu bakhe. Nxa angabubona uhle abususe masinyane. (1 Khor. 5:13) Lokhu sikubona kulokho okwenziwa yingilosi ngesikhathi owesifazana ezama ukuphuma esilulwini, yaphanga yamfuqela phakathi yasivala ngci!\nUJehova waba leqiniso lokuthi uyabususa ububi phakathi kwabantu bakhe (Khangela izindima 16-18)\n16. (a) Senziwani isilulu esabonwa nguZekhariya? (Khangela umfanekiso 3 osekuqaliseni.) (b) Abesifazana ababili basithatha basisa ngaphi isilulu?\n16 UZekhariya uthe elokhu esakhangele kwathi thutshu abesifazana ababili ababelempiko eziqine njengezengabuzane. (Bala uZekhariya 5:9-11.) Abesifazana laba babetshiyene kakhulu lowesifazana ophakathi kwesilulu. Bafika bahwitha isilulu ‘esasilobubi’ phakathi basiphakamisa baphapha laso basisa “elizweni laseBhabhiloni.” Kungani basisa eBhabhiloni?\n17, 18. (a) Kungani kwakulengqondo ukuthi isilulu esasilobubi sihanjiswe eBhabhiloni? (b) Kumele sizimisele ukwenzani?\n17 Ama-Israyeli aphila ngesikhathi sikaZekhariya ayekuzwisisa ukuthi kungani isilulu esasilobubi phakathi sihanjiswa eBhabhiloni. Ayekwazi ukuthi elizweni lelo kwakugcwele ububi obumangalisayo obabugoqela ukukhonza izithombe lokuziphatha okubi. Ngesikhathi uZekhariya lama-Israyeli beseBhabhiloni bazama ngamandla wonke ukuthi bangalandeli imikhuba engcolileyo eyayisenziwa elizweni lelo. Ngakho umbono lo wabenza babona ukuthi uJehova wayengasoze avumele loba yibuphi ububi ukuthi bubekhona phakathi kwabantu bakhe.\n18 Wabakhumbuza lokuthi kwakumele basebenze gadalala ukuze bahlale bemsulwa ekukhonzeni. Lalamuhla uJehova kasoze avumele ukuthi ububi bungene futhi buhlale phakathi kwabantu bakhe. Ngakho njengoba uJehova esidonsele enhlanganisweni yakhe ehlanzekileyo, sonke silomsebenzi omkhulu wokuyigcina ihlanzekile. Akumelanga kutholakale ububi phakathi kwabantu bakaJehova.\nUJEHOVA UFUNA SIHLANZEKE\n19. Sifundeni embonweni wesithupha lowesikhombisa owabonwa nguZekhariya?\n19 Umbono wesithupha lowesikhombisa owabonwa nguZekhariya utshengisa ukuthi uJehova uyabuzonda ububi. Ngakho lokhu kuyisixwayiso kuloba ngubani oqhubeka esenza okubi phakathi kwabantu bakhe. Kumele sibuzonde ububi nxa sifuna ukuhlala simsulwa phambi kwakhe. Imibono le isifundisa lokuthi nxa singazimisela ukwenza izinto ezithokozisa uNkulunkulu kasisoze sibhujiswe kodwa sizathola izibusiso. UJehova kasoze akukhohlwe konke esikwenzayo ukuze sihlale sihlanzekile ekukhonzeni futhi uzasincedisa ukuthi siphumelele. Kodwa kuyini okwenza sibe leqiniso lokuthi ukukhonza kweqiniso kuzaqhubeka kulokhu kukhona? Yibuphi ubufakazi obutshengisa ukuthi uJehova uzaqhubeka eyivikela inhlanganiso yakhe kuze kudlule ukuhlupheka okukhulu? Imibuzo le izaphendulwa esihlokweni esilandelayo.\n^ indima 2 U-B.C.E. umela ukuthi “Before Common Era,” okutsho isikhathi uJesu engakabuyi emhlabeni.\nThumeza Thumeza Sifundani Emibonweni KaZekhariya?

AmaKhristu Ekhulu Lokuqala Lendlela UNkulunkulu Ayezibona Ngayo Izimpi Ekhulwini Lokuqala\nBALA KU Acholi Afrikaans Albanian Amharic Arabic Armenian Armenian (West) Aukan Aymara Baoule Batak (Simalungun) Bulgarian Catalan Cebuano Chichewa Chinese Cantonese (Simplified) Chinese Cantonese (Traditional) Chinese Mandarin (Simplified) Chinese Mandarin (Traditional) Chitonga Chitumbuka Chiyao Chokwe Chol Cibemba Croatian Czech Danish Dutch Efik English Estonian Ewe Fijian Finnish French Ga Georgian German Greek Greenlandic Guarani Haitian Creole Hebrew Hiligaynon Hmong (White) Hungarian Iban Icelandic Igbo Iloko Indonesian IsiPortuguese (esikhulunywa eBrazil) IsiSerbian (Cyrillic) Italian Japanese Javanese Karen (S'gaw) Kazakh Kikamba Kikaonde Kikongo Kikuyu Kiluba Kimbundu Kinyarwanda Kirghiz Kiribati Kirundi Kisi Kisonge Kongo Korean Krio Kwangali Kwanyama Lamba Lhukonzo Lingala Lithuanian Luganda Luo Luvale Macedonian Malagasy Maltese Mam Maya Mazatec (Huautla) Mizo Moore Myanmar Nahuatl (Guerrero) Nahuatl (Huasteca) Ndebele Ndebele (Zimbabwe) Ndonga Ngabere Norwegian Nyaneka Nzema Ossetian Otetela Papiamento (Aruba) Papiamento (Curaçao) Pidgin (Cameroon) Polish Quechua (Bolivia) Quichua (Imbabura) Romanian Runyankore Russian Samoan Sango Saramaccan Sepedi Serbian (Roman) Sesotho (Lesotho) Setswana Shona Sidama Silozi Sinhala Slovak Slovenian Spanish Sranantongo Swahili Swahili (Congo) Swedish Tagalog Tahitian Tatar Tetun Dili Thai Tigrinya Tlapanec Tojolabal Tok Pisin Totonac Tshiluba Tsonga Turkish Tuvaluan Twi Tzotzil Ukrainian Umbundu Urdu Venda Vietnamese Wayuunaiki Xhosa Yoruba Zande Zapotec (Isthmus) Zulu\nIndlela UNkulunkulu Ayezibona Ngayo Izimpi Ekhulwini Lokuqala\nAmaJuda ekhulu lokuqala ayecindezelwa. Akuthandabuzwa ukuthi lawo athandaza kuNkulunkulu kanengi njengabokhokho bawo, ecela ukuthi awakhulule ngaphansi koMbuso wamaRoma owawuwadlisa imbuya ngoluthi. Kuthe kunjalo ezwa ngoJesu. Kambe ukuthi nguye owayezakuba nguMesiya owayethenjisiwe? Yikho kungamangalisi ukuthi abanengi ‘babethembe ukuthi wayenguye owayezahlenga u-Israyeli’ ejogweni lamaRoma. (ULukha 24:21) Kodwa akuzange kube njalo. Okwenzakalayo yikuthi ngo-70 C.E., ibutho lamaRoma lafika labhidliza iJerusalema kanye lethempeli layo.\nKwahamba njani? Kungani uNkulunkulu engazange awalwele amaJuda ngendlela ayesenza ngayo endulo? Kungani engazange abalaye ukuthi bayekulwa impi ukuze bathole inkululeko baphume ekucindezelweni? Kambe indlela ayebona ngayo izimpi yayisintshintshile yini? Hatshi. Kodwa izinto zasezigaya ngomunye umhlathi kumaJuda. Abazange bamamukele uJesu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu enguMesiya. (ImiSebenzi 2:36) Lokhu kwenza ukuthi amaJuda alahlekelwe yisibusiso sokuba yisizwe sikaNkulunkulu esikhethiweyo.—UMathewu 23:37, 38.\nUNkulunkulu wayengasawavikeli amaJuda kanye leLizwe lawo Lesithembiso futhi ayengasoze aphinde abe lelungelo lokuyakulwa izimpi esekelwa nguNkulunkulu. UJesu waphrofetha ukuthi isibusiso sokuba ngabantu bakaNkulunkulu abakhethiweyo sasizasuswa ko-Israyeli sinikwe isizwe esitsha. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi iBhayibhili labiza isizwe lesi esitsha ngokuthi ‘ngu-Israyeli kaNkulunkulu.’ (KwabaseGalathiya 6:16; UMathewu 21:43) U-Israyeli kaNkulunkulu wayesebunjwa libandla lamaKhristu agcotshwe ngomoya. Ngekhulu lokuqala, amaKhristu la atshelwa ngokucacileyo ukuthi: “Khathesi selingabantu bakaNkulunkulu.”—1 UPhetro 2:9, 10.\nNjengoba amaKhristu ekhulu lokuqala kuyiwo ‘ayesengabantu bakaNkulunkulu,’ uNkulunkulu wawalwela yini ukuze awakhulule eMbusweni wamaRoma owawuwacindezela? Wawanika umlayo wokuthi ahlome ayehlasela izitha zawo yini? Hatshi kazange enze njalo. Ngenxa yani? Nxa sikhangela izimpi ezisekelwa nguNkulunkulu, nguye kuphela otshoyo ukuthi kumele zibe khona nini njengoba sibonile esihlokweni esidlulileyo. UNkulunkulu kazange alwe izimpi ngekhulu lokuqala ukuze akhulule amaKhristu futhi kazange awanike imvumo yokuthi angenele ezimpini ezazikhona ngalesosikhathi. Kuyakhanya-ke ukuthi ngekhulu lokuqala kwakungayisiso sikhathi sikaNkulunkulu sokulwa izimpi ukuze asuse ububi kanye lokucindezelwa kwabantu.\nNgakho amaKhristu ekhulu lokuqala kwakumele enze njengezinceku zikaNkulunkulu zasendulo, alindele isikhathi sakhe esifaneleyo sokususa ububi lokucindezelwa. Kanti njalo uNkulunkulu wayengawanikanga imvumo yokuthi alwe lezitha zawo. UJesu wakucacisa lokhu lapho efundisa. Ngokwesibonelo wafundisa abalandeli bakhe ukuthi bangayi ezimpini, wasebatshela wathi: “Thandani izitha zenu, libathandazele labo abalihluphayo.” (UMathewu 5:44) UJesu wakhuluma ngesikhathi lapho amaRoma ayezahlasela ngaso iJerusalema, waselaya abalandeli bakhe ukuthi bangayilwi limpi kodwa babaleke. Lokhu yikho kanye abakwenzayo.—ULukha 21:20, 21.\nUmphostoli uPhawuli laye waphefumulelwa ukuthi abhale amazwi la: “Lingaphindiseli, . . . ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Ukuphindisela ngokwami; ngizaphindisela,’ kutsho iNkosi.” (KwabaseRoma 12:19) Lapha uPhawuli wayekhuluma amazwi ayeke atshiwo nguNkulunkulu kudaladala kuLevi 19:18 lakuDutheronomi 32:35. Njengoba sibonile esihlokweni esidlulileyo, enye indlela uNkulunkulu ayephindisela ngayo endulo kwakuyikuncedisa abantu bakhe ukuthi balwe lezitha zabo. Ngakho amazwi kaPhawuli atshengisa ukuthi indlela uNkulunkulu ayebona ngayo izimpi ekhulwini lokuqala yayingakantshintshi. Wayelokhu ebona impi kuyindlela ayengayisebenzisa ukuze aphindisele ezitheni zezinceku zakhe njalo asuse ububi lokucindezelwa. Kodwa njengasendulo, nguye kuphela owayengatsho ukuthi kwakumele ibe khona nini lokuthi ngubani okwakumele ayekulwa.\nKuyacaca-ke ukuthi ngekhulu lokuqala uNkulunkulu kazange alaye amaKhristu ukuthi alwe izimpi. Kodwa lamuhla ke? Likhona yini iqembu labantu uNkulunkulu alinike imvumo yokuthi lilwe izimpi? Kambe ukuthi khathesi sekuyisikhathi sokuthi uNkulunkulu ahlasele izitha zabantu bakhe ukuze abakhulule? UNkulunkulu uzibona njani izimpi lamuhla? Ukutshelwa yikuncitshwa, bala isihloko sokuphetha uzizwele.\nThumeza Thumeza Indlela UNkulunkulu Ayezibona Ngayo Izimpi Ekhulwini Lokuqala

Ubusuku bamhlokho ngebakaNisani 14, womnyaka ka-33. UJesu uhlezi nabapostoli bakhe, sebaqedile ukugidinga iPhasika, okungelesikhumbuzo sokutjhatjhululwa kwama-Israyeli ebugqilini beGibhide eminyakeni eli-1500 eyadlulako. Nje-ke njengombana uJesu anabapostoli bakhe abali-11, wenza esinye isidlo esikhethekileko, esizokuba sikhumbuzo sokuhlongakala kwakhe ngaphambi kobana lidlule lamhlokho. *—Mat. 26:1, 2.\n2 UJesu uyathandaza bese adlulisele abapostoli bakhe isikwa esinganasibiliso, athi: “Thathani nigome.” Wenza njalo nangekapho yewayini, ngemva kokuthandaza wathi: “Selani noke nje.” (Mat. 26:26, 27) Kilokhu, uJesu akasolo abadlulisela ukudla abapostoli bakhe abathembekilekwaba, esikhundleni salokho ubatjela koke angakutjho ngobusuku bakhe bamaswaphela.\n3. Isihlokwesi sizokuphendula miphi imibuzo?\n3 Kumhlokho-ke mhla uJesu asungula isiKhumbuzo sokufa kwakhe, esaziwa ‘nangesiDlo seKosi’ saNtambama. (1 Kor. 11:20) Kodwana abanye bangazibuza ukuthi: Kubayini kufanele kugidingwe isiKhumbuzo? Sitjho ukuthini isikwa newayini? Silungiselelwa njani isiKhumbuzo? Kudla bani? Nokuthi amaKrestu kufuze azizwe njani ngethemba lawo elivezwe emiTlolweni?\nKUBAYINI KUFANELE KUGIDINGWE ISIKHUMBUZO?\n4. Ukufa kwakaJesu kwasivulela maphi amathuba?\n4 U-Adamu wasinghwathela isono nokufa njengombana angukhokho wethu. (Rom. 5:12) Begodu akunamuntu onesono obekanganikela ngepilo yakhe njengesihlengo sabanye abantu. (Rhu. 49:7-10, [49:6-9, NW]) Kodwana uJesu nguye owahlongakala kwaba kanye, isihlengo seengazi zakhe ezathulukako zaba linani elaneleko lembadelo yesono. Ngokwenza kwakhe njalo phambi kwakaZimu, uJesu wasivulela amathuba wokutjhaphuluka esonweni nekufeni nokuthi sizuze ipilo engapheliko.—Rom. 6:23; 1 Kor. 15:21, 22.\n5. (a) Sazi njani ukuthi uZimu noKrestu bayabathanda abantu? (b) Kubayini kufuze sibe khona esiKhumbuzweni sokufa kwakaJesu?\n5 Isihlengo sisiqinisekiso sokuthi uZimu uyabathanda abantu. (Jwa. 3:16) NoJesu ngokuvuma kwakhe ukuba sihlengo, kubufakazi bokuthi uyasithanda. Koke lokhu kungebanga lokuthi ngaphambi kokuphila kwakhe njengomuntu ephasini, uJesu oyikutana kaZimu ‘bekathabile ngabantu’! (IzA. 8:30, 31) Yeke, ngebanga lokuthi siyamthokoza nguZimu neNdodanakhe le, siyakululukela ukuya esiKhumbuzweni sokufa kwakaJesu, senze ngokwesinqophiso ethi: “Kwenzeni lokhu ukuze ningikhumbule.”—1 Kor. 11:23-25.\nISIKWA NEWAYINI KUTJHO UKUTHINI?\n6. Kufuze sisiqale njani isikwa newayini lesiKhumbuzo?\n6 Nekazakusungula isiKhumbuzwesi, uJesu akhenge enze ikarisomraro yokutjhugulula isikwa newayini bona zibe mzimba neengazi zakhe zamambala. Kunalokho, wathi nakakhuluma ngesikwa: “Lokhu kutjho umzimbami.” Nangewayini wathi: “Lokhu kutjho iingazi zami ezizokuthuluka ngebanga labanengi.” (Mar. 14:22-24, NW) Ngokwalokhu-ke kuyatjho ukuthi isikwa newayini bezimifuziselo namkha zimufanekiso.\n7. Sifanekiselani isikwa esisetjenziswa esiKhumbuzweni?\n7 Esenzakalweni esiqakathekilekweso sangomnyaka ka-33, uJesu wasebenzisa isikwa esinganasibiliso ebesisele esidlweni sePhasika. (Eks. 12:8) Phela, ngokwemiTlolo ngas’khathi isibiliso besifanekisela ukonakala namkha isono. (Mat. 16:6, 11, 12; Luk. 12:1) Ngikho-ke uJesu asebenzisa isikwa esinganasibiliso ngombana besifanelana kuhle nomzimbakhe onganasono. (Heb. 7:26) Yeke, kusetjenziswa isikwa esinjalo-ke nesiKhumbuzweni.\n8. Ifanekiselani ikapho yewayini lesiKhumbuzo?\n8 Newayini elasetjenziswa nguJesu ngoNisan 14, womnyaka ka-33, belifanekisela iingazi zakhe njengombana kunjalo nangekapho yewayini lesiKhumbuzo namhlanje. Iingazi zakhe zathululwa eGolgotha endaweni engaphandle kweJerusalema “malungana nokulitjalelwa kwezono.” (Mat. 26:28; 27:33) Ngebanga lokuthi isikwa newayini zifanekisela isihlengo sakaJesu esipheleleko esanikelwa ngebanga labantu abalalelako nokuthi siyathokoza ngesenzweso, kuyafaneleka-ke bona ngamunye wethu azilungiselele malungana nesenzakalwesi saqobe mnyaka sesidlo seKosi santambama.\nIINDLELA ZOKULUNGISELELA UMGIDI LO\n9.

Kungasisiza nokuthi silungiselele iinhliziyo zethu malungana nesidlo seKosi santambama. Omunye udade waze wathi, “sisilinde ngabovu isiKhumbuzo. Nyaka uvela sikhetheka khulu kunesidlulileko.

Kwenzeka njani ukuthi abanye beKorinte badle imifuziselo yesiKhumbuzo ngokungakafaneli?\n11 Njengombana ubhincela isidlo seKosi santambama, khumbula nalokho okwatjhiwo nguPowula nakatlolela ibandla leKorinte. (Funda 1 Korinte 11:27-34.) Encwadini le, uPowula waveza ukuthi nanyana ngubani odla isikwa asele nekapho ngokungakafaneli “uzakuba nomlandu wokona emzimbeni kanye neengazini zeKosi,” uJesu Krestu. Yeke, ozesiweko kufuze “azihlolisise ngaphambi kobana agome isikwa abe asele nekapho.” Ngombana ogoma abe asele ngaphandle kokuhlukanisa, “uzigomela abe aziselele umlandu.” Kungebangelo abanengi eKorinte ‘bebabuthaka begodu bagula kanti nenengi labo besele lilele [ngokomoya].’ Kungenzeka abanye bagoma bebasela nekapho ngaphambi namkha phakathi nesiKhumbuzo kangangobana besebaburhicwa nengqondweni nangokomoya. Ukudla kwabantu imifuziselo ngokungakafaneli kwabangela bona uZimu abafulathele.\n12. (a) UPowula wasifanisa nani isiKhumbuzo, begodu wakhipha siphi isiyeleliso? (b) Odlako esiKhumbuzweni kufuze athathe liphi igadango nakenze isono esimabhombo?\n12 UPowula wafanisa isiKhumbuzo nesidlo esihlanganyelwa nabanye, bese wayelelisa nalabo abadlako wathi: “Angekhe nasela ikapho yeKosi godu nibuye nisele neyamadimoni. Angeze naba nehlanganyelo etafuleni leKosi nelamadimoni.” (1 Kor. 10:16-21) Nakungenzeka umuntu odla imifuziselo yesiKhumbuzo enze isono esimabhombo, kufuze afune isizo elingokomoya. (Funda uJakopo 5:14-16.) Nengabe umzeswa loyo uveza “isithelo esikhambisana nokuphenduka,” kuzabe kungasikunyaza umhlatjelo kaJesu lokha nekadlako esiKhumbuzweni.—Luk. 3:8.\n13. Kubayini kuzuzisa ukuthandaza ngethemba esiliphiwe nguZimu?\n13 Yeke, njengombana sibhincela isiKhumbuzo nje, kuzosizuzisa ukuthandaza ngethemba lethu esiliphiwe nguZimu. Akakho namunye umkhulekeli othembekileko kaJehova nomlandeli weNdodanakhe ofuna ukuhlambalaza isihlengo sakaJesu ngokudla imifuziselo yesiKhumbuzo ekubeni unokubilayela-thize ekutheni uzesiwe namkha njani. Nje-ke umuntu wazi njani nakufanele adle esikhumbuzweni?\n14. Ngiyiphi ikambiso yesivumelwano esitjha malungana nokudliwa kwemifuziselo yesiKhumbuzo?\n14 Labo abayidla kufanele imifuziselo yesiKhumbuzo, bayaqiniseka ukuthi banesandla esivumelwaneni esitjha. Phela uJesu nakakhuluma ngewayini wathi: “Ikapho le isivumelwano esitjha eengazini zami.” (1 Kor. 11:25) Angitjho uZimu wakhe watjho ngoJoromiya wathi uzakwenza esinye isivumelwano esitjha ebesizokuhluka esivumelwaneni somThetho asenza nama-Israyeli! (Funda uJoromiya 31:31-34.) Ngiso-ke lesi asenze no-Israyeli ongokomoya. (Gal. 6:15, 16) Isivumelwanesi sigunyazwe ngomhlatjelo kaKrestu begodu sisebenza ngeengazi zakhe. (Luk. 22:20) UJesu, Mlamuli esivumelwaneni esitjha, yeke abathembekileko babazesiweko abamenyelwe kiso baba nethemba lokuyokuphila ezulwini.—Heb. 8:6; 9:15.\n15. Bobani abafakwe esivumelwaneni somBuso, begodu balindwe ngiliphi ilungelo nabangahlala bathembekile?\n15 Labo abavumelekileko ukudla imifuziselo yesiKhumbuzo bayazi ukuthi sebangenile esivumelwaneni somBuso. (Funda uLukasi 12:32.) Labo ababa balandeli bakaJesu abazesiweko, banamathelana naye bebahlunguphazwa kunye naye, bakhethelwa ukuyokubusa ezulwini. (Flp. 3:10) Ngebanga lokuthi abathembekileko babazesiweko basesivumelwaneni somBuso, bazokubusa noKrestu njengamakhosi bekube nini nanini. (IsAm. 22:5) Abanjalo-ke ngibo esithi bayidla kufanele imifuziselo yesidlo seKosi santambama.\n16. Khewusihlathululele kafitjhazana ukuthi itjho ukuthini yamaRoma 8:15-17.\n16 Okufuze badle imifuziselo yesiKhumbuzo ngilabo abaqinisekako ukuthi nangambala bakhethwe ngomoya njengabantwana bakaZimu. (Funda amaRoma 8:15-17.) Nawungatjheja la, uPowula usebenzise ibizo lesi-Aramu elithi “Aba,” okutjho ukuthi “Baba!” Umntwana angalisebenzisa ibizweli nakabiza ubabakhe ngombana lilibizo lokubongelela elikhambisana nomongo welithi “Baba” elingelokuhlonipha. Yeke, labo ‘abamukeliswe umoya’ babantwana bakaZimu. Umoyakhe ufakazelana newabo, ubaqinisekise ukuthi nangambala babazeswa bakaJehova. Lokhu akutjho ukuthi abasayikhanukeli ipilo yephasini. Kodwana bayaqiniseka ukuthi bayokuhlanganyela noJesu emBusweni wezulu nabangathembeka bekube sekufeni. Namhlanjesi, ngabaseleko balabo abazi-144 000, okubalandeli bakaKrestu ‘abazeswe ngiloyo ocwengileko’—uJehova. (1 Jwa. 2:20; IsAm. 14:1) Umoyakhe lo ngiwo obenza bambize bathi “Aba, Baba!” Kwamambala, abantwabo banetjhebiswano elihle noZimu!\nYAMUKELA ITHEMBA LAKHO ELINGOKOMTLOLO\n17. Ngiliphi ithemba labazesiweko, begodu bazizwa njani ngalo?\n17 Nengabe umKrestu ozesiweko, ithemba lokuyokuphila ezulwini kufuze likhambe phambili emithandazwenakho. IBhayibheli nalithi nithenjiswe ‘umendo’ noMkhwenyana wezulwini, uJesu Krestu, lokho kufuze kusebenze kuwe, kukwenze uhlale ululukela ukuyokuba ‘mlobokazi’ kaKrestu. (2 Kor. 11:2; Jwa. 3:27-29; IsAm. 21:2, 9-14) Ebhayibhelini uZimu nakathi uyabathanda abantwana bakhe, wena kufuze uvume uthi, “Ngimi loyo.” Begodu iliZwi lakaJehova nalikhuluma nabazeswa bakhe, umoya ocwengileko kufuze ukwenze umlalele bese uvume nehliziywenakho ukuthi, “Batjho mina.” Umoya kaZimu nomoyakho iyavumelana beyikuqinisekise ukuthi wena uyokuphila ezulwini.\n18. ‘Bezinye izimvu’ banaliphi ithemba, begodu bazizwa njani ngalo?\n18 Ngakwelinye ihlangothi, nengabe wena uwela ‘ngesiqubuthwini esikhulu sezinye izimvu,’ kutjho ukuthi lakho ithemba ngelokuphila ephasini. (IsAm. 7:9; Jwa. 10:16) Kutjho ukuthi uzokululukela iPharadeyisi, uzindle nangezinto ezihle nezimnandi othenjiswe zona eBhayibhelini ngepilo yephasini. Wena kwakho kululukela iphasi elinokuthula njengombana uzabe uthabela ipilo nomndenakho, nihlalisane nabanye abantu abalungileko. Usiqale ngabovu isikhathi lapho kuzabe kungasenandlala khona, ukusweleka kokudla, umtlhago, amagulo, nokufa okumraro kasodiye ebantwini. (Rhu. 37:10, 11, 29; 67:6; 72:7, 16; Isa. 33:24) Usilinde ngabovu nesikhathi lapho kuyokuvuswa khona abahlongakeleko bazokuphila ingunaphakade ephasini. (Jwa. 5:28, 29) Thatjiswa kukuthi wena uJehova ukubusise ngethemba lokuphila ephasini. Yeke, nanyana ungayidli imifuziselo yesiKhumbuzo, kodwana kuhle ube khona ngombana nawe uyathokoza ngesihlengo sakaJesu Krestu.\n19, 20. (a) Ithemba lakho oliphiwe nguZimu lingazaliseka njani? (b) Uzokuza na esidlweni seKosi santambama?\n19 Kungakhathaliseki bona unethemba lephasini namkha lezulwini, ukuthi lizaliseke kusekutheni ukholelwa kangangani kuJehova uZimu noJesu Krestu nesihlengo. Ngokuza kwakho esiKhumbuzweni uzokuba nethuba lokubona ukuthi ukufa kwakaJesu bekuqakatheke kangangani. Yeke, kwanga nawe ungaba hlangana newomakazi labantu elizabe likhona esidlweni seKosi santambama, butjhingo belanga langeLesihlanu ngomhla ka-3 Apreli 2015, emaWolweni womBuso nakwezinye iindawo ephasini mazombe.\n20 Ukuza esiKhumbuzweni kungadephisa ithabo lakho ngesihlengo sakaJesu. Nawulalelisisa njengombana kubekwa ikulumo, ungazizwa ukhuthazeka ekutheni wabelane nabomakhelwana bakho lokho okuzwile ngendlela uJehova abathanda ngayo abantu bakhe, nokuthi uzokuzalisa njani lokho akuhlosileko ngabantu. (Mat. 22:34-40) Yenza koke ongakwenza-ke bona ube khona esidlweni seKosi santambama.\n^ isig. 1 Ngokwekambiso yamaHebheru, ilanga belithoma butjhingo belanga, liyokuphela nalitjhingako godu.

Ngathi: Ngibona isitsha sezithelo zasehlobo. I Nkosi yasisithi kimi:\nUkuphela sekufikile ebantwini bami uIsrayeli; kangisayikubayekela futhi. 3Izingoma zethempelini zizaphenduka zibe yikukhala mhlalokho, kutsho iNkosi uJehova; izidumbu zizagcwala yonke indawo, zikhutshelwe phandle.

Kahle ngililandisele ukuthi kungani sawamukela lowomsebenzi lokuthi uJehova usibusise njani. Kodwa ngingakangeni emnkantshweni wendaba, ake ngiqale ngithi fahlafahla ngembali yami.\nNGAZALWA ngo-1923 edolobheni leHemsworth, eYorkshire eNgilandi. Sazalwa saba babili kuphela emulini yangakithi, kwakuyimi lomnewethu uBob. Ngathi ngileminyaka engu-9 ubaba wathola amabhuku athile ayekhuluma ngendlela amasonto aqila ngayo abantu. Wakuthanda kakhulu lokho ayekubala ngoba kwakuvele kumcaphula ukuthi abakhokheli bamasonto kabakwenzi lokho abakufundisayo. Ngemva kweminyaka ethile kwafika indoda okwakuthiwa nguBob Atkinson ngekhaya yasidlalela inkulumo erekhodiweyo kamfowethu uRutherford. Sananzelela ukuthi iqembu okwakuvela kulo inkulumo le yilo futhi elalibhala amabhuku ayetholwe ngubaba. Abazali bami bacela u-Atkinson ukuthi asivakatshele nsuku zonke ntambama azokwejisa lathi ukuze aphendule yonke imibuzo esasilayo. Umzalwane lo wasikhuthaza ukuthi siye emihlanganweni yebandla eyayisenzelwa emzini womunye umzalwane owawungakhatshana kangako langakithi. Lakanye saqalisa ukuyingena imihlangano futhi ngemva kwesikhathi kwabunjwa ibandla eHemsworth. Abazali bami baqalisa ukwamukela abahambeli njalo ngezinye izikhathi babenxusa amaphayona athile ukuthi azokudla lathi. Ukwazana labazalwane labodadewethu laba kwangikhuthaza kakhulu.\nNgalesosikhathi ubaba wayesevule ibhizimusi ngakho watshela umnewethu uBob wathi: “Nxa ufuna ukuyaphayona, singatshiyana lakho okwebhizimusi le.” Umnewethu wavuma futhi waqalisa ukuphayona eseleminyaka engu-21. Mina ngaqalisa ukuphayona ngileminyaka engu-16. Izikhathi ezinengi ngangitshumayela ngedwa ngisebenzisa ikhadi lokufakaza legramafoni. Lanxa kunjalo uJehova wangibusisa wanginika isifundo seBhayibhili esasithuthuka futhi abanengi emulini yowesifazana lowo bacina bengoFakazi. Ngomnyaka owalandelayo ngamukela umbiko wokuthi sengizakuba liphayona eliqakathekileyo futhi ngangizasebenza lodade okuthiwa nguMary Henshall. Sahanjiswa endaweni eyayingelaboFakazi eCheshire.\nNgesikhathi sempi yomhlaba yesibili kwakukhangelelwe ukuthi abesifazane bancedise empini. Thina sasicabanga ukuthi kabasoze bathi sincedise kuleyomisebenzi ngoba sasingabatshumayeli besikhathi sonke. Umthethwandaba awuzange ukuvume lokhu, ngakho ngavalelwa ejele okwenyanga eyodwa. Ngathi sengileminyaka engu-19 ngaya emthethwandaba ngayabhalisa ukuthi mina kangingeneli ezindabeni zempi. Umthethwandaba wala ukwamukela isicelo sami kabili konke. Kusenzakala konke lokhu ngangikwazi ukuthi uJehova wayengisekela ngomoya wakhe ongcwele njalo engiqinisa ngesandla sakhe.—Isaya. 41:10, 13.\nMina lo-Arthur Matthews saqala ukubonana ngo-1946. U-Arthur wavalelwa ejele okwezinyanga ezintathu ngenxa yokwala ukuya empini. Wathi ephuma ejele wayaphayona lomnawakhe uDennis owayeliphayona eliqakathekileyo eHemsworth. U-Arthur loDennis bafundiswa iqiniso ngabazali babo njalo babhabhathizwa besesebancane. Ngemva kwesikhatshana uDennis wathunyelwa e-Ireland watshiya umnewabo u-Arthur eHemsworth. Abazali bami bayithanda indlela u-Arthur ayekhuthele ngayo ekutshumayeleni ngakho bamcela ukuthi azohlala labo. Izikhathi ezinengi nxa ngivakatshele ngekhaya ngangijayele ukuncedisana lo-Arthur ukugezisa imiganu. Ngokuya kwesikhathi saqalisa ukubhalelana izincwadi. Ngo-1948 u-Arthur waphinda wabotshwa wayapika okwezinyanga ezintathu. Mina laye satshada ngo-1949 futhi sasizimisele ukuqhubeka sisenkonzweni yesikhathi sonke. Ngakho sasisiba leqiniso ukuthi siyisebenzisa kuhle imali njalo ngezinye izikhathi sasidinga umsebenzi wokuncedisa abantu abavunayo ukuze sithole enye imadlana eyayingasisiza ukuthi siqhubeke siphayona.\nSiseHemsworth ngemva komtshado wethu ngo-1949\nNgemva komnyaka mina lo-Arthur sacelwa ukuthi siyetshumayela ezindaweni ezisenyakatho ye-Ireland. Ngakho saqala saya edolobheni le-Armagh sasesisiya eNewry. Isonto yamaKatolika yayizibambile emadolobheni la yikho sasitshumayela ngonanzelelo. Imihlangano yebandla sasiyingenela emzini womunye umzalwane futhi ukuyafika kulowomuzi kwakungamakhilomitha angu-16 nxa sisuka lapho esasihlala khona. Sasingena imihlangano singu-8 kuphela. Ngemva kwemihlangano umzalwane lo wayejayele ukusicela ukuthi silale emzini wakhe futhi sasilala phansi kuthi ekuseni avuke esiphekela ukudla okumnandi. Kuyangithokozisa kakhulu ukuthi lamuhla sekulaboFakazi abanengi endaweni le.\nUmnewethu lomkakhe uLottie babengamaphayona aqakathekileyo enyakatho ye-Ireland njalo ngo-1952 mina lomkami sangena labo umhlangano wesabelo owawuseBelfast. Safika sahlala emzini womzalwane othile ndawonye lomfowethu uPryce Hughes owayekhokhela egatsheni leBritain ngalesosikhathi. Emhlanganweni lo kwethulwa ibhuku elithi God’s Way Is Love elalibhalelwe ukunceda abantu be-Ireland. Ngenye intambama sathi sixoxa ngebhuku lelo umfowethu uHughes wakhuluma ngobunzima obabukhona bokutshumayeza abantu be-Ireland. OFakazi babethwele nzima kuleyondawo ngoba babexotshwa lapho ababehlala khona njalo behlukuluzwa ngabantu ababethunywa ngabaphristi besonto yeRoma. Ngakho umfowethu uHughes wathi: “Sidinga abazalwane abalezimota abangazimisela ukuyakwenza umkhankaso wokuhambisa ibhuku leli elizweni lonke.” * Thina saphendula sathi: “Sizahamba!” La yiwo amazwi engike ngakhuluma ngawo ekuqaliseni.\nEdolobheni leDublin kwakulodade owayejayele ukwamukela amaphayona emzini wakhe okwakuthiwa nguRutland. Udade lo wayesekhonze uJehova okweminyaka eminengi njalo lathi safika sahlala emzini wakhe eDublin. Sathengisa ezinye impahla esasilazo ukuze sithole imali yokuthenga imota. Ngelinye ilanga sasuka sobane sisiyadinga imota ethengiswayo njalo sayithola kwenye indoda. Ngemva kwalokho sacela leyondoda ukuthi iyilethe lapho esasihlala khona ngoba kakho kithi owayesenelisa ukutshayela. Mhlalokho u-Arthur waphuza ukulala elokhu ehlezi embhedeni efundela ukuntshintsha amagiya emota. Ngelanga elilandelayo wathi ezama ukuyikhupha egarajini kwafika uMildred Willett (owacina ethethwe nguJohn Barr) wayengumnali futhi wayesenelisa ukutshayela. Ngakho sonke wasifundisa ukutshayela futhi kwasekulula ukuthi singene umango.\nImota esayithengayo lekharavani esasihlala kuyo\nNgemva kokuthenga imota saqalisa ukudinga indawo yokuhlala. Satshelwa ukuthi kwakungamelanga sidinge ikharavani ngoba abantu ababengathandi oFakazi babengayitshisa. Yikho saqhubeka sidinga indawo yokuhlala kodwa kasizange siyithole. Mhlalokho salala emoteni sobane futhi ngelanga elilandelayo sathola ikharavani encane eyayilokuyimibheda okubili kuphela. Sayithenga ikharavani le futhi sasiyidonsa ngemota nxa sisiya kwezinye izindawo sifike siyitshiye emapulazini. Sasisithi nxa singayitshiya sihambe amakhilomitha angu-16 kusiya kwangu-24 sisiyatshumayela ezindaweni ezitshiyeneyo. Sasiphindela ebantwini ababesezindaweni lezi ababekhanya befuna ukufunda okunengi.\nSatshumayela ezindaweni ezitshiyeneyo eziphakathi kweningizimu lempumalanga ye-Ireland. Sahambisa amabhukwana adlula 20 000 futhi amabizo abantu ababefuna ukufunda okunengi sasiwathumezela egatsheni leBritain. Kuyangijabulisa kakhulu ukuthi khathesi sekulaboFakazi abanengi ezindaweni lezo.\nUKUBUYELA ENGILANDI LOKUYA ESCOLTLAND\nNgokuhamba kwesikhathi sacelwa ukuthi siye eLondon futhi ngemva kwamaviki athile umkami wafonelwa ngabafowethu egatsheni laseBritain bemtshela ukuthi ngelanga elilandelayo uzaqalisa umsebenzi wokuhambela. Safundela umsebenzi lo okweviki njalo ngemva kwalokho sathunyelwa eScotland. U-Arthur wayesesele lesikhathi esincane sokulungiselela izinkulumo kodwa engakuthandayo yikuthi wayezimisele ukwenza loba yini uJehova ayifunayo. Sawukhwabitha sibili umsebenzi wokuhambela ngoba wawusinika ithuba lokuhlangana labafowethu labodadewethu abatshiyeneyo njengoba sasesijayele ukuba sendaweni engelaboFakazi.\nNgo-1962 u-Arthur wanxuswa ukuthi azongena iSikolo seGiliyadi okwezinyanga ezingu-10. Kwakuyisinqumo esikhulu leso ngoba mina ngangizasala nxa esesiya esikolo. Lanxa kunjalo sabona kuyinto enhle ukuthi sisamukele isibusiso lesi. Ngakho wathi esehambile mina ngathunyelwa eHemsworth ukuthi ngiyekuba liphayona eliqakathekileyo. U-Arthur waphenduka ngemva komnyaka njalo saqalisa ukuhambela izabelo ezaziseScotland, eningizimu yeNgilandi laseningizimu ye-Ireland.\nUMSEBENZI OMUTSHA E-IRELAND\nNgo-1964 u-Arthur waphiwa umsebenzi omutsha wokukhokhela igatsha lase-Ireland. Ngangicabanga ukuthi ngangingeke ngenelise ukuba seBhetheli ngoba sasiwukholisa kakhulu umsebenzi wokuhambela. Khathesi ngiyathokoza ukuthi ngathola isibusiso sokuba sendaweni le. Engikunanzeleleyo yikuthi nxa ungazimisela ukwenza umsebenzi owuphiwayo enhlanganisweni, uJehova uzakubusisa kakhulu. EBhetheli ngibe lesibusiso sokwenza imisebenzi etshiyeneyo egoqela ukupakitsha amabhuku, ukupheka, ukuklina lokusebenza ewofisini. Ngezinye izikhathi sasihambela izabelo ezitshiyeneyo futhi lokhu kwasinceda ukuthi sazane labazabalwane abanengi elizweni lonke. Okunye okwasithokozisayo yikubona abantu esasibafundisa iBhayibhili bentshintsha indlela ababephila ngayo futhi besiba ngoFakazi.\nUMHLANGANO OQAKATHEKILEYO E-IRELAND\nNgo-1965 kwaba lomhlangano wezizwe wokuqala e-Ireland futhi wenzelwa eDublin. * Ekuqaliseni kwakungani kasisoze siwungene umhlangano lo ngenxa yabaphikisi kodwa sacina siwungene kuhle. Kwaba labantu abangu-3 948 abangena umhlangano lo futhi kwabhabhathizwa abangu-65. Izivakatshi ezingu-3 500 ezazivela kwamanye amazwe zafika zahlala emizini yezakhamizi zeDublin futhi ngemva komhlangano igatsha labhala izincwadi libonga lezozakhamizi ngokwamukela kwazo abafowethu labodadewethu. Izakhamizi lezi zabancoma kakhulu abafowethu labodadewethu ababevakatshile ngenxa yendlela ababeziphethe ngayo. Umhlangano lo wabasiza sibili abantu be-Ireland ukuthi babazwisise oFakazi.\nU-Arthur ubingelela uNathan Knorr ngesikhathi elande umhlangano owawukhona ngo-1965\nNgesikhathi u-Arthur esethula Ibhuku Lami Lezindaba ZeBhayibhili ngolimi lwesiGaelic ngo-1983\nNgo-1966 amabandla ayeseningizimu lasenyakatho ye-Ireland ayesekhangelwa ligatsha elaliseDublin. Ukuhlanganiswa lokhu kwatshengisa ukuthi simanyene ngoba abanye abantu ngalesosikhathi babedabukene phakathi ngenxa yezombusazwe lezenkolo. Kwakusithokozisa kakhulu ukubona abantu abanengi ababengena iRoma lamanye amasonto besiba ngoFakazi.\nOMUNYE UMSEBENZI OMUTSHA\nNgo-2011 igatsha lase-Ireland lahlanganiswa leleBritain. Ngakho thina satshelwa ukuthi sesizakuyasebenzela eBhetheli yeLondon. Ngalesosikhathi umkami u-Arthur wayesehlala engogulayo futhi kwacina kutholakala ukuthi uselomkhuhlane ohlasela imisipha okuthiwa yi-Parkinson’s disease. Okudanisayo yikuthi watshona mhlaka 20 May ngo-2015 ngemva kweminyaka engu-66 sitshadile.\nSelokhu umkami watshona bengihlala ngihlulukelwe futhi ngidabukile. Ngiyamkhumbula kakhulu ngoba wayehlala engikhuthaza njalo engiqinisa zonke izikhathi. Esengikubonile yikuthi ukuba phakathi kwezimo ezinzima kukwenza usondele kuJehova. Okunye okungiduduzayo yikwazi ukuthi abantu abanengi babemthanda umkami. Ngemva kokutshona kwakhe ngemukela izincwadi zivela kubazalwane abase-Ireland, eBritain lase-United States. Izincwadi lezi ziyangikhuthaza kakhulu. Abanye abahlala bengiqinisa ngumnewabo ka-Arthur uDennis lomkakhe uMavis kanye loRuth loJudy abantwana bomnewethu.\nUmbhalo ongikhuthaza kakhulu ngoka-Isaya 30:18 othi: “UJehova ulangatha ukuba lomusa kini, uyavuka ukuba alitshengise isihawu. Ngoba uJehova unguNkulunkulu wokulunga. Babusisiwe bonke abamlindeleyo!” Kuyangiduduza ukwazi ukuthi uJehova ulangatha ukuqeda bonke ububi obukhona lamuhla lokusinika imisebenzi esizayikholisa kakhulu emhlabeni omutsha.\nNxa ngikhangela emuva ngiyabona sibili ukuthi uJehova uwubusisile umsebenzi wokutshumayela e-Ireland. Ngiyasibonga isibusiso anginike sona sokuncedisa kulowomsebenzi. Angithandabuzi lakancane ukuthi ukwenza intando kaJehova kuletha izibusiso.\n^ indima 12 Khangela Ibhuku Lomnyaka LaboFakazi BakaJehova lika-1988 amakhasi 101-102.\n^ indima 22 Khangela Ibhuku Lomnyaka lika-1988 amakhasi 109-112.

Jwanisi 12 I-New World Translation| Ku-Inthanethi |\nUMariya uzesa iinyawo zakaJesu ngamafutha (1-11)\nUJesu ungena njengekosi (12-19)\nUJesu ubikezela ngokufa kwakhe (20-37)\nUkungakholwa kwamaJuda kuzalisa isiphorofido (38-43)\nUJesu wazela ukusindisa iphasi (44-50)\n12 Emalangeni asithandathu ngaphambi kobana kube yiPhasika, uJesu wafika eBhethaniya, lapho bekuhlala uLazaru, owavuswa nguJesu kwabafileko. 2 Bamenzela isidlo santambama, uMarta bekabaphakululela, uLazaru yena bekangomunye wabahlezi noJesu etafuleni. 3 UMariya wathatha isiquntu selitha yamafutha anuka kamnandi, abiza khulu, inarada yamambala, wazesa iinyawo zakaJesu wazisula ngeenhluthu zakhe. Indlu yazala iphunga lamafutha anuka kamnandi. 4 Kodwana uJudasi Iskariyodi, omunye wabafundi bakhe, obekazomthengisa, wathi: 5 “Kubayini amafutha anuka kamnandi la angathengiswa ngabodenariyu abama-300 bese imali leyo inikelwe abatlhagako?” 6 Watjho lokhu, ingasi ngombana atshwenyekile ngabantu abatlhagako, kodwana ngombana bekalisela, aphatha ibhokisi lemali, ajayele nokweba imali efakwa kilo. 7 Yeke uJesu wathi: “Mliseni akwenze lokhu ukulungiselela ilanga lami lokubulungwa. 8 Ngombana abatlhagako nihlala ninabo, kodwana mina ngekhe nihlale ninami.” 9 Isiqubuthu esikhulu samaJuda sezwa ukuthi uJesu ulapho, seza ingasi ngebanga lakaJesu kwaphela kodwana nokuzokubona uLazaru, amvuse kwabafileko. 10 Nje-ke abaphristi abakhulu baluka amano wokubulala noLazaru, 11 ngombana bekungebanga lakhe amaJuda amanengi bewaya lapho begodu akholwa kuJesu. 12 Ngelanga elilandelako isiqubuthu esikhulu ebesize emnyanyeni sezwa ukuthi uJesu uza eJerusalema. 13 Sathatha iimpande zomuthi wesundu saphuma sayomhlangabeza, sarhuwelela sathi: “Siyakurabhela, msindise! Ubusisiwe oza ngebizo lakaJehova, iKosi yakwa-Israyeli!” 14 UJesu wafumana udumbanyana, wahlala phezu kwakhe, njengombana kutloliwe: 15 “Ungasabi Ndodakazi yeZiyoni. Qala! Ikosakho iyeza, ihlezi phezu kwakadumbanyana.” 16 Abafundi bakhe akhenge bakuzwisise lokhu ekuthomeni, kodwana lokha uJesu nakaphazinyuliswako, bakhumbula ukuthi lokhu kwatlolwa ngaye nokuthi benze izintwezi kuye. 17 Isiqubuthu ebesinoJesu nakabiza uLazaru ethuneni* amvusa kwabafileko sasolo sifakaza. 18 Leli ngelinye ibanga elenza isiqubuthu sayomhlangabeza, ngombana besizwile ukuthi wenze isibonakaliswesi. 19 AbaFarisi bathi komunye nomunye: “Niyabona ukuthi asiyindawo. Qalani! Iphasi loke liyamlandela.” 20 BekunamaGirigi athileko hlangana nalabo ebebeze ukuzokulotjha uZimu emnyanyeni. 21 Yeke aya kuFlebhe, obekavela eBhethesayida yeGalile, ambawa athi: “Mnumzana, sifuna ukubona uJesu.” 22 UFlebhe wayokutjela u-Andrisi. U-Andrisi noFlebhe bayokutjela uJesu. 23 Kodwana uJesu wathi kibo: “Sekusikhathi sokobana iNdodana yomuntu iphazinyuliswe. 24 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, ngaphandle kokuthi ithoro yekoroyi iwele phasi bese iyafa, ihlala iyithoro yinye; kodwana nayifako, izokuthela iinthelo ezinengi. 25 Nanyana ngubani othanda ukuphila kwakhe uyakutjhabalalisa, kodwana nanyana ngubani ohloya ukuphila kwakhe ephasineli, uzokuvikela ukuze azuze ukuphila okungapheliko. 26 Nangabe umuntu ufuna ukuba sisebenzi sami, akangilandele, begodu lapho ngikhona, kulapho nesisebenzi sami sizokuba khona. Nangabe umuntu ufuna ukuba sisebenzi sami, uBaba uzomdumisa. 27 Njenganje ngitshwenyekile, kufuze ngithini? Baba, ngisindisa esikhathinesi. Nanyana kunjalo, kungebangeli ngize ephasini, ngizele isikhathesi. 28 Baba, phazimulisa ibizo lakho.” Ngemva kwalokho kwazwakala ilizwi livela ezulwini lithi: “Ngiliphazimulisile begodu ngizoliphazimulisa godu.” 29 Isiqubuthu ebesijame lapho salizwa, sathi kudume izulu. Abanye bathi: “Ingilozi ikhulume naye.” 30 UJesu wathi kibo: “Ilizweli alikazwakali ngebanga lami, kodwana lizwakele ngebanga lenu. 31 Nje iphaseli liyahlulelwa begodu umbusi wephaseli uzokuqothwa. 32 Nje-ke mina nangiphakanyiswako ephasini, ngizokudosela yoke imihlobo yabantu kimi.” 33 Kuhlekuhle bekatjho lokhu ukutjengisa ukuthi uzokufa ukufa okunjani. 34 Ngemva kwalokho isiqubuthu sathi kuye: “Sizwile emThethweni ukuthi uKrestu uzokuhlala ngokungapheliko. Utjho njani ukuthi iNdodana yomuntu kufuze iphakanyiswe? Ngubani iNdodana yomuntu le?” 35 UJesu wathi kibo: “Ukukhanya kuzokuba phakathi kwenu isikhatjhana. Khambani nisesenokukhanya, ukwenzela bona ubumnyama bunganihluli; nanyana ngubani okhamba ebumnyameni akazi bona uyaphi. 36 Njengombana nisesenokukhanya, kholwani ekukhanyeni, bona nibe madodana wokukhanya.” UJesu watjho lokhu bese wakhamba wayobabhacela. 37 Nanyana bekenze iimbonakaliso ezinengi khulu phambi kwabo, bebangamkholwa, 38 ukwenzela bona ilizwi laka-Isaya umphorofidi lizaliseke, nakathi: “Jehova, ngubani okholwe into ayizwe kithi? Begodu malungana nesandla sakaJehova, sembulwe kubani?” 39 Ibanga ebelibenza bangakholwa kukuthi u-Isaya godu wathi: 40 “Uphophaze amehlwabo, wathundubaza neenhliziyo zabo, ukwenzela bona bangaboni ngamehlwabo, bangazwisisi ngeenhliziyo zabo, batjhuguluke begodu ngibalaphe.” 41 U-Isaya watjho lokhu ngombana wabona iphazimulwakhe, wakhuluma ngaye. 42 Eqinisweni, abanengi ngitjho nababusi bamkholwa, kodwana akhenge bamvume ngebanga labaFarisi, bona bangazokuqothwa ngesinagogeni; 43 ngombana bebathanda iphazimulo yabantu ukudlula iphazimulo kaZimu. 44 Kusesenjalo, uJesu waphakamisa ilizwi wathi: “Nanyana ngubani okholwa kimi akakholwa kimi kwaphela kodwana nakiloyo ongithumileko; 45 begodu nanyana ngubani ongibonako ubona naloyo ongithumileko. 46 Ngize njengokukhanya ephasini, bona woke umuntu okholwa kimi angahlali ebumnyameni. 47 Kodwana nanyana ngubani owezwako amezwami angawenzi, angimahluleli; ngombana angikazeli ukwahlulela iphasi, kodwana ukusindisa iphasi. 48 Nanyana ngubani ongangihloniphi begodu angawamukeli amezwami, ukhona ozomahlulela. Ilizwi engilikhulumileko ngilo elizomahlulela ngelanga lamaswaphela. 49 Ngombana angikakhulumi ngokuthanda kwami, kodwana uBaba ongithumileko nguye onginikele umyalo wokuthi khuyini ekufuze ngiyitjho begodu ngiyifundise. 50 Ngiyazi nokuthi umyalwakhe utjho ukuphila okungapheliko. Nje-ke nanyana yini engiyikhulumako, ngiyikhuluma njengombana uBaba angitjelile.”\n^ Jwa 12:17 Namkha “ethuneni elisikhumbuzo.”


ULukha 10 IBhayibhili eliku-internet| New World Translation\nUJesu uthuma abangu-70 (1-12)\nMaye emadolobheni angaphendukiyo (13-16)\nAbangu-70 bayaphenduka (17-20)\nUJesu udumisa uYise ngokuthi ukhetha abathobekileyo (21-24)\nUmzekeliso womSamariya olomusa (25-37)\nUJesu uvakatshela uMatha loMariya (38-42)\n10 Ngemva kwakho konke lokhu iNkosi yakhetha abanye abangu-70 yabathuma ngababili ukuthi bahambe kuqala kuwo wonke amadolobho lakuzo zonke izindawo eyayizakuya kuzo. 2 Wasesithi kubo: “Isivuno sinengi sibili, kodwa izisebenzi zilutshwana. Ngakho ncengani iNkosi yokuvuna ukuthi ithumele izisebenzi emsebenzini wayo wokuvuna. 3 Hambani, kodwa linanzelele! Ngilithuma linjengamazinyane phakathi kwezimpisi. 4 Lingathwali isikhwama semali kumbe esokudla kumbe amanyathela, futhi lingabingeleli muntu* emgwaqweni. 5 Loba yiphi indlu elizangena kuyo, qalani ngokuthi: ‘Indlu le kayibe lokuthula,’ 6 njalo nxa kulomngane wokuthula, ukuthula kwenu kuzakwehlela kuye. Kodwa nxa engekho, kuzabuyela kini. 7 Ngakho hlalani kuleyondlu, lidle futhi linathe lokho abazalinika khona, ngoba isisebenzi kusifanele ukuthola iholo laso. Lingabi lilokhu lithutha kwenye indlu lisiya kwenye. 8 “Kanti njalo kuloba yiliphi idolobho elingena kulo balamukele, dlanini okufakwe phambi kwenu, 9 lelaphe abagulayo kulo futhi libatshele lithi: ‘UMbuso kaNkulunkulu ususondele kini.’ 10 Kodwa kuloba yiliphi idolobho elingena kulo bangalamukeli, phumani liye emigwaqweni yalo emikhulu, lithi: 11 ‘Siluthintithela kini uthuli lwedolobho lenu olunamathele enyaweni zethu. Kodwa nanku okumele likwazi, uMbuso kaNkulunkulu ususondele.’ 12 Ngilitshela ukuthi okuzakwehlela iSodoma ngalelolanga kuzabe kungcono kakhulu kulalokho okuzakwehlela idolobho lelo. 13 “Maye kuwe Khorazini! Maye kuwe Bhethisayida! ngoba aluba izimangaliso ezenzakale kini zazenzakale eThire kanye leSidoni, ngabe abantu balapho kudala baphenduka, bahlala emlotheni bembethe izembatho zamasaka. 14 Yikho-ke okuzakwehlela iThire kanye leSidoni nxa sekusahlulelwa kuzabe kungcono kakhulu kulalokho okuzalehlela. 15 Lawe Khaphenawume, uzaphakanyiselwa ezulwini yini? Hatshi! Uzakwehlela eNgcwabeni.* 16 “Loba ngubani olilalelayo uyangilalela lami, futhi loba ngubani ongelandaba lani kalandaba lami. Kanti njalo loba ngubani ongelandaba lami kalandaba laLowo ongithumileyo.” 17 Abangu-70 baphenduka bejabula, bathi: “Nkosi, lamadimoni ayazehlisa kithi nxa sisebenzisa ibizo lakho.” 18 Sebetsho njalo yena wathi kubo: “Ngibona uSathane esewile njengombane ovela ezulwini. 19 Zwanini! Ngilinike amandla okunyathela inyoka lenkume njalo ngilinike lamandla adlula awesitha senu, akukho lokukodwa okuzalilimaza. 20 Lanxa kunjalo lingathokoziswa yikuthi amadimoni ayazehlisa kini, kodwa thokoziswani yikuthi amabizo enu asebhaliwe emazulwini.” 21 Ngalo kanye lelohola wathokoza kakhulu ngomoya ongcwele wathi: “Ngikudumisa phambi kwabo bonke Baba, Nkosi yezulu lomhlaba, ngoba izinto lezi uzithukuzile, wazifihlela abahlakaniphileyo labafundileyo, waziveza ebantwaneni abancane. O! Baba, le yiyo kanye indlela owayamukelayo. 22 UBaba usengiphe zonke izinto, njalo kakho okwaziyo ukuthi iNdodana ingubani ngaphandle kukaBaba, futhi kakho okwaziyo ukuthi uBaba ungubani ngaphandle kweNdodana, kanye lalowo iNdodana efuna ukumveza kuye.” 23 Eqeda lapho wakhuluma labafundi bakhe bebodwa, wathi: “Ayathokoza amehlo abona izinto elizibonayo, 24 ngoba ngithi kini, amakhosi amanengi labaphrofethi abanengi babefisa ukuzibona izinto elizibonayo kodwa kabazibonanga, lokuzwa izinto elizizwayo kodwa kabazizwanga.” 25 Enye indoda eyayiyisazi soMthetho yasukuma yamlinga isithi: “Mfundisi, kumele ngenzeni ukuze ngizuze ilifa lokuphila okungapheliyo?” 26 Wathi kuyo: “EMthethweni kubhalweni? Ukuzwisisa njani lokho okubalayo?” 27 Yona yaphendula yathi: “‘Kumele uthande uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, langomphefumulo* wakho wonke, langamandla akho wonke, langengqondo yakho yonke,’ futhi ‘uthande umakhelwane wakho ngendlela ozithanda ngayo.’” 28 Wathi kuyo: “Impendulo yakho iqondile; qhubeka usenza njalo, uzakuzuza ukuphila.” 29 Kodwa indoda le yayifuna ukutshengisa ukuthi ilungile, yasisithi kuJesu: “Umakhelwane wami ngubani sibili?” 30 UJesu wayiphendula wathi: “Kulendoda eyayisehla isuka eJerusalema isiya eJerikho yasihlaselwa yizigebenga, zayihlubula izigqoko, zayitshaya zasuka zahamba, zayitshiya sokusele udokoza. 31 Omunye umphristi wathi ezihambela esehla ngomgwaqo lo wayibona leyondoda, kodwa wayiceza, wahambela kwelinye icele. 32 Kwasekufika lomLevi kuleyondawo, wayibona indoda leyo, laye wayiceza, wahambela kwelinye icele. 33 Kodwa kwafika umSamariya, laye ehamba ngalowomgwaqo. Uthe eyibona wayizwela usizi. 34 Ngakho wasondela kuyo wafika wabopha amanxeba ayo, wawathela amafutha lewayini. Waseyikhweza kubabhemi wakhe wahamba layo endlini yezihambi, wafika wayigcina. 35 Ngelanga elilandelayo wakhipha odenariyu ababili wabanika umnikazi wendlu yokugcina izihambi, wasesithi kuye: ‘Mnakekele, loba yimalini ozayisebenzisa eyedlula le, ngizabuya ngikubhadala.’ 36 Ubona angathi phakathi kwalaba abathathu ngubani owazenza waba ngumakhelwane wendoda eyahlaselwa yizigebenga?” 37 Yaphendula yathi: “Ngulowo owayenzela isihawu.” UJesu wasesithi kuyo: “Lawe hamba uyekwenza njalo.” 38 Bathe sebephakathi kohambo wangena kwesinye isigaba, lapho okwakulowesifazana okwakuthiwa nguMatha. Wamamukela kuhle emzini wakhe. 39 Wayelodadewabo okwakuthiwa nguMariya, yena wahlala enyaweni zeNkosi waqhubeka elalele eyayikukhuluma.* 40 Kodwa uMatha wayephathekile ebamba lokhu lalokhuya. Walanda iNkosi wathi: “Nkosi, kakuthi thiki kuwe ukuthi udadewethu ungitshiye ngedwa ngisenza izinto zonke? Mtshele abuye azongincedisa.” 41 INkosi yamphendula yathi: “Matha, Matha, ukhathazwa uphinde uhlutshwe yizinto ezinengi. 42 Kufuneka izinto ezilutshwana kumbe into eyodwa nje. UMariya yena ukhethe okuhle* njalo lokho ngeke akuthathelwe.”\n^ Kumbe, “lingabingeleli muntu ngokumgona.”\n^ NgesiGrikhi, “ilizwi layo.”\n^ Kumbe, “okungcono kulakho konke.”


Asithembeni UMrholethu UKrestu | IsiThala\n“Munye uMrholi wenu, uKrestu.”—MAT. 23:10.\nIINGOMA: 16, 14\nUZimu wabarhola njani abantu bakhe ngesikhathi sakaJotjhuwa?\nKhuyini esiyifundako endleleni uKrestu arhola ngayo amabandla wangesikhathi sabapostoli?\nNgimaphi amabanga asenza sithembe uMrholethu uKrestu?\n1, 2. Ngimiphi imiraro uJotjhuwa aqalana nayo ngemva kokuthi uMosi ahlongakele?\nUJEHOVA wathi kuJotjhuwa: “UMosi incekwami uhlongakele. Yeke zilungiselele ukuyama iJordani le, wena nabo boke abantwaba, niye enarheni engiyipha ama-Israyeli.” (Jotj. 1:1, 2) Matjhuguluko amakhulu la uJotjhuwa ebekufuze aqalane nawo ngombana bekamsizi kaMosi pheze iminyaka ema-40.\n2 Kazi uMosi besele kuminyaka engangeminyaka arhola ama-Israyeli, yeke kungenzeka uJotjhuwa bekazibuza ukuthi abantu bazokuthini nasekufuze kudose yena phambili. (Dut. 34:8, 10-12) Enye incwadi nayihlathulula umtlolo kaJotjhuwa 1:1, 2, ithi: “Enye yezinto ezibudisi neziyingozi khulu esitjhabeni kulokha nakuhliswa omunye umrholi bese kukhwezwa omunye. Bekunjalo ekadeni kusesenjalo nanje.”\n3, 4. UZimu wambusisa njani uJotjhuwa ngebanga lokuthi bekamthemba, begodu ngiwuphi umbuzo esingazibuza wona?\n3 Kungenzeka kwamthusa khulu uJotjhuwa ukuzwa bona sele azokurhola isitjhaba sakwa-Israyeli begodu singatjho sithi bekathukwe kufanele. Kodwana okwamsiza kuthemba uJehova begodu akhenge ariyade nokulandela iinqophiso zakhe. (Jotj. 1:9-11) Bekamthemba kufanele uZimu. Ngombana iBhayibheli liyasitjela ukuthi uJehova wanqophisa uJotjhuwa naso soke isitjhaba sakwa-Israyeli asebenzisa ingilozi. Kungenzeka ingilozi le bekuyiNdodanakhe elizibulo uLizwi.—Eks. 23:20-23; Jwa. 1:1.\n4 UJehova wasiza ama-Israyeli aqalana namatjhuguluko avelako, ngombana bekarholwa nguMosi izinto zatjhuguluka kwaba nguJotjhuwa. Nathi siphila esikhathini esinamatjhuguluko amanengi enzeka ehlanganweni kaZimu, yeke singazibuza: ‘Njengombana ihlangano kaZimu iragela phambili ithuthuka nje, sinawo na amabanga wokuthemba uMrholethu uJesu?’ (Funda uMatewu 23:10.) Nasizakuphendula umbuzo lo akhesiboneni bona uJehova wabarhola njani abantu bakhe ekadeni ngesikhathi samatjhuguluko.\nNGUBANI OWARHOLA ABANTU BAKAZIMU NGESIKHATHI BANGENA ENARHENI YESITHEMBESO?\n5. UJotjhuwa wahlangana nani ngesikhathi ahlanu kweJerikho? (Qala isithombe esisekuthomeni.)\n5 Kwathi ama-Israyeli nakaqeda ukweyama iJordani uJotjhuwa wahlangabezana nento ebekangakayilindeli. Wathi nakatjhidela eJerikho wahlangana nendoda ephethe isabula. UJotjhuwa bekangayazi indoda le, yeke wayibuza wathi: “Ujame nathi namkha ujame nezitha zethu na?” Warareka khulu nakezwa indoda le ithi ‘iyinduna yebutho’ lakaJehova begodu izele ukuzokuvikela abantu bakaZimu. (Funda uJotjhuwa 5:13-15.) Indaba le nasiyifundako kunalapha ithi khona uJehova nguye obekakhuluma noJotjhuwa kodwana siyazi bona wasebenzisa ingilozakhe ukuthi imjamele, lokho sikutjhwiso kukuthi kanengi bekesebenzisa iingilozi.—Eks. 3:2-4; Jotj. 4:1, 15; 5:2, 9; IzE. 7:38; Gal. 3:19.\n6-8. (a) Kubayini ezinye iinqophiso uJehova azinikela ama-Israyeli bezibonakala zingakahlakaniphi ngombono womuntu? (b) Iinqophiswezo kubayini sithi zifike ngesikhathi begodu bezihlakaniphile? (Qala umtlolo waphasi.)\n6 Ingilozi yatjela uJotjhuwa ukuthi yini ebekufanele ayenze nakazakuthumba iJerikho. Kungenzeka ukuthi ezinye izinto ingilozi ebeyimtjela zona bezibonakala zingeze zabaphumelelisa. Isibonelo salokho nginasi, ingilozi yatjela uJotjhuwa bona asoke woke amabutho. Phela lokho bekutjho ukuthi amabutho la bengeze akulungele ukulwa. Ngombana bekuzokuthatha amalangana bona aphole. Kghani bekusikhathi esifaneleko sokusoka amadoda la?—Gen. 34:24, 25; Jotj. 5:2, 8.\n7 Amabutho la nawo kungenzeka bewazibuza bona azokubona enzeni nange amanabawo awasahlela. Azokukghona na ukuvikela imindenewo? Kwathi kusesenjalo kwazwakala umbiko othi iJerikho “gade ivalwe ntsi ngebanga lama-Israyeli.” (Jotj. 6:1) Siyaqiniseka bona umbiko lo wenza ama-Israyeli amthemba khulu uZimu.\n8 Ingilozi yabuye yatjela uJotjhuwa yathi ama-Israyeli akukafuzi asahlele iJerikho kodwana athome ayizombeleze kanye ngelanga bekube malanga asithandathu bese kuthi elangeni lekhomba ayizombeleze kalikhomba. Amanye amabutho bekangathi ‘lokho khona kudlala ngesikhathi.’ UMrholi wama-Israyeli ongabonakaliko bekayazi kuhle into ayenzako. Indlela arhola ngayo akhenge yenze ama-Israyeli abe nokukholwa okuqinileko kwaphela kodwana yawenza nokuthi angalwi namabutho weJerikho.—Jotj. 6:2-5; Heb. 11:30. *\n9. Kubayini kufanele silandele iinqophiso esizifumana ehlanganweni kaZimu? Akhuze nesibonelo.\n9 Sifundani endabeni le? Ngezinye iinkhathi ngeze sazwisisa kuhle bona kubayini ihlangano yenza amatjhuguluko. Isibonelo salokho, kungenzeka ekuthomeni khenge sizwisise bona kubayini ihlangano yathi sisebenzise ama-tablet namkha ama-cellphone bona sifunde, siwasebenzise esimini nesifundweni. Kodwana nje kungenzeka siyabona ukuthi kusisiza kangangani ukusebenzisa izintwezi. Nasibona imiphumela emihle ngetuthuko enjengale sivele siqine ekukholweni begodu sibumbane kungakhathaliseki bona besingayiboni izokuphumelela indaba leyo.\nUKRESTU BEKAWARHOLA NJANI AMAKRESTU WANGESIKHATHI SABAPOSTOLI?\n10. Ngubani owanqophisa umhlangano wesihlopha esibusako ebewuseJerusalema nakudenjwa indaba yokusoka?\n10 Ngemva kweminyaka engaba li-13 uKorneliyasi abemKrestu amanye amaJuda ebewamaKrestu bewasakholelwa bona ukusokwa yinto ekufuze yenziwe. (IzE. 15:1, 2) Kwathi nakuvuka ipikiswano e-Anthiyokiya ngendaba yokusoka le, kwahlelwa bona uPowula ayoyibikela isihlopha esibusako eJerusalema. Umbuzo kukuthi ngubani obekanqophisa izinto ngesikhatheso? UPowula wathi: “Ngakhuphuka ngebanga lesambulo.” Siyaqiniseka bona uKrestu nguye owanqophisa izinto ukwenzela bona indaba le ilungiswe kuhle.—Gal. 2:1-3.\nUkubusa kwakaKrestu kwabonakala kuhle ngeenkhathi zabapostoli (Qala iingaba 10, 11)\n11. (a) Amanye amaKrestu amaJuda bewasakholelwani ngendaba yokusoka? (b) UPowula wasilandela njani isinqophiso sabadala beJerusalema? (Qala umtlolo waphasi.)\n11 Isihlopha esibusako sathi amaKrestu angasimaJuda akutlhogeki asokwe begodu koke lokho sakwenza sinqotjhiswa nguJesu. (IzE. 15:19, 20) Kodwana ngitjho nanyana besele kudlule iminyaka eminengi kwenziwe isiquntwesi amaKrestu amaJuda bewasolo asoka abantwana bawo. Abadala beJerusalema bezwa amahlebezi wokuthi uPowula akahloniphi umthetho kaMosi. * (IzE. 21:20-26) Bamtjela bona enze into ekungenzeka bekangakayilindeli, bathi akathathe amadoda amane atjhinge nawo ethempelini ukwenzela bona abantu bazi ukuthi uPowula ‘uyawubulunga umThetho.’ UPowula bekangalandula athi into abambawa yona le ayisikuhlakanipha, bekatjho nokuthi kuhlekuhle umraro la maJuda amaKrestu ngombana bewangazwisisi indaba yokusoka. Kunalokho wasisekela isiqunto sabadala ngombana abona ukuthi balwela ukwenza ukuthula. Yeke wazithoba wenza lokho abamtjele khona. Nathi singazibuza ukuthi: ‘Kubayini uJesu avumela indaba le ihlale isikhathi eside kangaka ingalungiswa naphezu kokuthi umThetho kaMosi waphela ngesikhathi ahlongakala?’—Kol. 2:13, 14.\n12. Nawucabangako kubayini uKrestu athatha isikhathi ukusombulula indaba yokusoka?\n12 Kabanye kungathatha isikhathi ukuzwisisa nokwenza ngokuvumelana namatjhuguluko amatjha. AmaKrestu amaJuda nawo atlhoga isikhathi ukwenza ngokuvumelana namatjhuguluko. (Jwa. 16:12) Kabanye khenge kube bulula ukwamukela ukuthi ukusoka akusese litshwayo lokutjengisa ukuba nobuhlobo obuhle noZimu. (Gen. 17:9-12) Bese kuthi abanye bebasaba ukutjhutjhiswa, yeke bebangafuni ukuhluka emphakathini wamaJuda. (Gal. 6:12) Kodwana ngokukhamba kwesikhathi uKrestu wabanikela iinqophiso ngeencwadi ezatlolwa nguPowula.—Rom. 2:28, 29; Gal. 3:23-25.\nBEKUBE KUNAMHLANJESI UKRESTU USALIDOSA PHAMBILI IBANDLA\n13. Yini engasisiza sithokoze indlela uKrestu asirhola ngayo namhlanjesi?\n13 Ngezinye iinkhathi khesingazwisisi kuhle bona kubayini kunamatjhuguluko ehlanganweni kodwana sizabe senza kuhle nasikhumbula indlela uKrestu arhola ngayo abantu bakaZimu esikhathini esidlulileko. Ngeenkhathi zaboJotjhuwa nezabapostoli uKrestu bekasolo anikela abantu bakaZimu iinqophiso ezibavikelako, ezakha ukukholwa kwabo nezibasiza babe nebumbano.—Heb. 13:8.\n14-16. “Inceku ethembekileko nehlakaniphileko” itjengisa njani ukuthi uKrestu uyatshwenyeka ngobungani bethu noZimu?\n14 Indlela uJesu asithanda ngayo siyibona eenqophisweni esizinikelwa ‘yinceku ethembekileko nehlakaniphileko.’ (Mat. 24:45) UMarc ubaba labantwana abane uthi: “USathana ufuna amabandla abogaboge, lokho ukwenza ngokusahlela imindeni. Kodwana njengombana sikhuthazwa bona senze ukukhulekela komndeni qobe veke, umlayezo lo uyakhanya eenhlokweni zemindeni bona kufuze zivikele imindenazo.”\n15 Nasiqala indlela uKrestu anqophisa ngayo ibandla siyabona bonyana mbala ufuna sithuthukise ubungani bethu noZimu. UPatrick omdala webandla uthi: “Ekuthomeni abanye kwabadondisa ukuthi sekufuze bahlangane baziinqhema ezincani bona babe nomhlangano wokuya esimini ngeempelaveke. Kodwana elungiselelweneli sibona ubuntu bakaJesu obuhle bokuthanda ngitjho nabantu abaqalelwa phasi. Abanakwethu nabodadwethu okungenzeka ithando labo ngoZimu liyabogaboga bazizwa bathandwa begodu batlhogeka. Lokho kwenza ithando labo ngoZimu lathuthuka.”\n16 UKrestu utlhogomela ubungani bethu noZimu abuye asisize sidzimelele emsebenzini oqakatheke khulu owenziwa ephasina. (Funda uMarkosi 13:10.) U-André umnakwethu osanda ukuba mdala bekasolo enza ngokuvumelana namatjhuguluko neenqophiso zehlangano kaZimu. Uthi: “Ukuphungulwa kwabanakwethu nabodadwethu abasemindenini yeBethel kusikhumbuza ngokurhabeka komsebenzi wokutjhumayela.”\nTHEMBEKA EKUSEKELENI UBUKHOSI BAKAKRESTU\n17, 18. Kubayini kukuhle ukuqala imiphumela yeenqophiso namatjhuguluko enziwa yihlangano kaZimu?\n17 Iinqophiso esizifumana kuJesu Krestu iKosethu ebusako ziyasisiza begodu zisazosisiza. Yeke kufuze kusithabise ukubona iindlela esisizeke ngazo ngokwamukela nangokwenza ngokwamatjhuguluko wehlangano. Kungaba kuhle ukuthi nanenza ukukhulekela komndeni nicoce ngokuthi amatjhuguluko enziwe esimini nesifundweni awusize njani umndenenu.\nUyawusiza na umndenakho nabanye bona bakhambisane nehlangano kaJehova? (Qala iingaba 17, 18)\n18 Nasikhumbulako ukuthi iinqophiso ezivela ehlanganweni kaJehova ziba nemiphumela emihle kuzokuba bulula ukuzilandela sithabile. Ngokwesibonelo, ukuphungulwa kweencwadi ezigadangiswako nokusebenzisa ama-tablet nama-cellphone konga imali. Lokho kusiza ihlangano ikghone ukufikelela abantu abanengi ngeendaba ezimnandi. Ukwazi lokho kuzosikhuthaza bona sisebenzise iinsetjenziswezi khulu ngendlela esingakghona ngayo. Nasenza ngaleyo ndlela sizabe silalela uKrestu ngokusebenzisa izinto zehlangano ngokuhlakanipha.\n19. Kubayini kufuze sihloniphe iinqophiso zakaKrestu?\n19 Nasihlonipha ubukhosi bakaKrestu neenqophiso zakhe siqinisa ukukholwa kwabanye begodu siba nesandla ekwenzeni ibandla libumbane. U-André nakakhuluma ngamatjhuguluko wokuncitjhiswa kwamalunga womndeni weBethel enziwe mvanje uthi: “Ngakhuthazeka nangibona indlela amalunga weBethel amukela ngayo amatjhuguluko la, lokho kwangenza ngathemba bengahlonipha uJehova. Ngabona ukuthi bakhambisana nekoloyi kaJehova begodu bayathaba kinanyana ngikuphi lapha uJehova afuna ukubasebenzisa khona.”\nASETHEMBE BEGODU SIBE NOKUKHOLWA EMRHOLINETHU\n20, 21. (a) Yini esenza sithembe uKrestu uMrholethu? (b) Sizokuphendula wuphi umbuzo esihlokweni esilandelako?\n20 UMrholethu uJesu Krestu kungasikade ‘uzokuphelelisa ukuhlula kwakhe’ abe aphethe “imisebenzi eyesabekako.” (IsAm. 6:2; Rhu. 45:5) Kodwana nanje usilungiselela ipilo etjha ephasini elitjha nomsebenzi esizowenza lapho nasifundisa abantu abavusiweko iqiniso begodu senza iphasi libe yipharadesi.\n21 Ikani nasithemba uMrholethu kungakhathaliseki bona kwenzekani yena uzosirholela ephasini elitjha. (Funda iRhubo 46:1-3.) Namhlanjesi akusilula ukwamukela amatjhuguluko khulukhulu nawafike singakawalindeli. Alo yini engasisiza sibe nokuthula begodu sithembe uJehova? Umbuzo lo sizowuphendula esihlokweni esilandelako.\n^ isig. 8 Abarhubhululi bezinto zakade bafumene isivuno esinengi emarubhini weJerikho. Kazi abantu beJerikho bavuna kodwana bangazidla iinthelo abazivunilekwezo. Lokho kuvumelana nalokho iBhayibheli elikutjhoko, okutjengisa ukuthi indawo le yatjhatjalaliswa ngesikhatjhana begodu ama-Israyeli khenge avunyelwe ukudla isivunweso. Lesi bekusikhathi esihle khulu sokusahlela njengombana bekusikhathi sokuvuna nje ngombana nokudla bekukunengi emasimini.—Jotj. 5:10-12.\n^ isig. 11 Qala ibhoksi elithi, “UPawulu Ubhekana Novivinyo Ngokuthobeka” esiThaleni sakaMatjhi 15, 2003, k. 24 esifumaneka ngesiZulu.


Ngubani UJesu Krestu? | Iindaba Ezimnandi\n1. Ukuphila kwakaJesu kwathoma njani?\nNgiziphi iimfanelo ezenza uJesu wangeneka?—MATEWU 11:29; MARKOSI 10:13-16.\nNgokungafani nanyana ngimuphi umuntu, uJesu waphila ezulwini njengomuntu womoya ngaphambi kobana abelethwe ephasini. (Jwanisi 8:23) Sibunjwa sakaZimu sokuthoma, begodu wasiza ekubumbeni zoke ezinye izinto. Nguye kwaphela owabunjwa nguZimu ngokunqophileko, ngalokho-ke, kuyafaneleka bona ubizwa ngokobana uyiNdodana kaZimu ‘eyodwa tere.’ (Jwanisi 1:14) UJesu wakhonza njengomKhulumeli kaZimu, kungalokho abizwa nangokuthi ‘nguLizwi.’—Funda Iziyema 8:22, 23, 30; KwebeKholose 1:15, 16.\n2. Kubayini uJesu eza ephasini?\nUZimu wathumela iNdodanakhe ephasini ngokudlulisela ukuphila kwayo kusuka ezulwini kuya esibelethweni sentombi emJuda uMariya. Ngalokho uJesu zange abe nobaba omumuntu. (Luka 1:30-35) UJesu weza ephasini bona (1) azokufundisa iqiniso ngoZimu, (2) azosibekela isibonelo sokobana kufuze siyenze njani intando kaZimu ngitjho nalapho sisebudisini, begodu (3) anikele ukuphila kwakhe kube ‘sihlengo.’—Funda uMatewu 20:28.\n3. Kubayini sitlhoga isihlengo?\nIsihlengo yimbadelo ebhadelelwa ukutjhaphulula umuntu engozini yokufa. (Eksodosi 21:29, 30) Ukufa nokuluphala bekungasiyingcenye yehloso kaZimu yekuthomeni ngesintu. Sikwazi njani lokho? UZimu watjela umuntu wokuthoma, u-Adamu, bona nekangenza lokho iBhayibhili ekubiza ngokuthi ‘sisono,’ uzokufa. Ngalokho ngathana u-Adamu zange one, bekangekhe afe. (Genesisi 2:16, 17; 5:5) Ngokuya ngeBhayibhili, ukufa “kwangena” ephasini lesintu ngo-Adamu. Ngalokho u-Adamu wadlulisela isono nesigwebo saso, ukufa, kizo zoke iinzukulwana zakhe. Sitlhoga isihlengo bona sisitjhaphulule esigwebeni sokufa esasizuza njengelifa ku-Adamu.—Funda KwebeRoma 5:12; 6:23.\nNgubani obekangabhadela isihlengo sokusitjhaphulula ekufeni? Nesifako, sibhadela isigwebo sezono zethu kwaphela. Akunamuntu ongakapheleli ongabhadalela izono zabanye.—Funda iRhalani 49:7-9.\n4. Kubayini uJesu afa?\nNgokungafani nathi, uJesu bekaphelele. Ngalokho bekungatlhogeki afele izono zakhe—zange enze isono. Kunalokho, uJesu wafela izono zabanye. UZimu watjengisa ithando elikhulu ngesintu ngokuthumela iNdodanakhe bona izosifela. Godu uJesu watjengisa ithando lakhe ngathi ngokulalela uYise nangokunikela ukuphila kwakhe ngebanga lethu.—Funda uJwanisi 3:16; KwebeRoma 5:18, 19.\n5. UJesu wenzani nje?\nNekasephasini, uJesu walapha abagulako, wavusa abafileko, begodu waphulusa abantu abasengozini. Ngokwenza lokho watjengisa bona yini azoyenzela boke abantu abamlalelako esikhathini esizako. (Matewu 15:30, 31; Jwanisi 5:28) Ngemva kokuhlongakala kwakaJesu, uZimu wamvusela ekuphileni njengomuntu womoya. (1 KaPitrosi 3:18) Ngemva kwalokho uJesu walinda ngesidleni sakaZimu bekube kulapho uJehova amnikela amandla wokubusa njengeKosi kilo loke iphasi. (Hebheru 10:12, 13) Kwanjesi uJesu ubusa njengeKosi ezulwini, begodu abalandeli bakhe bamemezela iindaba ezimnandezo ephasini loke.—Funda uDanyela 7:13, 14; Matewu 24:14.\nMsinyana, uJesu uzokusebenzisa amandlakhe njengeKosi ukuqeda woke umtlhago nabo boke abawubangelako. Boke abatjengisa ikholo kuJesu ngokumlalela bazokufumana ukuphila eparadeyisini ephasini.—Funda iRhalani 37:9-11.
