Eqinisweni eKorea, “uShim Cheong” bekaqalwa njengesibonelo sendodakazi ezinikeleko.\nKwabanengi, umbono wokobana umuntu onjalo uzokujeziswa esirhogweni ngebanga lokobana bekangasimKrestu obhajadisiweko awukalungi, begodu uyadina. Ngaphezu kwalokho, inolwana le kufuze bona yenzeka kade khulu ngaphambi kobana umlayezo ngoKrestu ufike endawenekhabo.\nIndaba esephephandabeni le beyihlanganisa nekulumiswano nomfundisi. Wabuzwa bona abantu labo abafa bangakalifumani ithuba lokufunda ngoJesu bazokuyiswa esirhogweni na. Waphendula wathini? “Asazi. Sicabanga bona kukhona uZimu akuhlelele [abantu abanjalo].”\nI-The New Catholic Encyclopedia ithi: “Ukubhajadiswa kuqakathekile bona umuntu aphuluswe. Njengombana noKrestu ngokwakhe atjho ukuthi ngaphandle kobana umuntu abelethwe kabutjha ngamanzi nangoMoya oCwengileko, ngeze angena emBusweni kaZimu. (Jn 3.5)” Ngebanga lalokhu, abanye bakholelwa bona labo abahlongakele bangakabhajadiswa balahlelwa esirhogweni namtjhana batshwenywa ngezinye iindlela ngemva kokufa.\nNokho, kunabanye abanengi, abaqala ikolelo leyo njengenganangqondo. Kuneengidi zabantu ezife zingazi litho ngeBhayibheli. Kghani zifanelwe kutshwenywa unomphela? Lithini iBhayibheli ngendaba le?\nIBhayibheli likutjho ngokukhanyako bona uZimu akabakhohlwa abantu egade baphila banganalwazi leemfuneko zakhe. IzEnzo 17:30 ziyasiqinisekisa: “UZimu wathalalisa iinkhathi zokungazi.” Ngalokho, khuyini ethenjiswa yiBhayibheli ngalabo abahlongakele bangakalifumani ithuba lokufunda ngoZimu?\nSitjho ukuthini isithembiso sakaJesu esithi: ‘Uzakuba nami ePharadesi’?\nIpendulo ifumaneka kilokho uJesu akutjela esinye seenlelesi egade abethelwe naso. Indoda yathi kuJesu: “Ungikhumbule nawufika embuswenakho.” UJesu wayiphendula wathini? ‘Ngiqinisile ngiyakutjela namhlanjesi, uzakuba nami ePharadesi.’—Lukasi 23:39-43.\nKghani uJesu bekathembisa indoda le bona izokuya ezulwini? Awa. Indoda leyo ‘beyingakabelethwa kabutjha’ ngamanzi nangomoya, okuyifuneko yokungena emBusweni wezulwini. (Jwanisi 3:3-6) Kunalokho, uJesu bekathembisa isilelesi lesa bona sizokuphila godu, ePharadesi. Njengombana beyimJuda, indoda le kungenzeka beyijayelene nephasi eliyiPharadesi—isimu ye-Edeni—ekukhulunywa ngayo encwadini yokuthoma yeBhayibheli. (Genesisi 2:8) Isithembiso sakaJesu samnikela ithemba eliqinisekisiweko lokuvuselwa ePharadesi nesele libuyiselwe ephasini.\nEqinisweni, iBhayibheli lithembisa bona “kuzakuba khona ukuvuka kwabafileko kwabo boke abalungileko nabangakalungi.” (IzEnzo 24:15) ‘Abangakalungi’ ngilabo abangakhenge balalele imithethokambiso kaZimu yokulunga ngombana bebangayazi intando kaZimu. UJesu uzosivusa nesilelesi esingakalungi esakhuluma naye kuhlanganise neengidigidi zabantu abafe bangazi litho ngoZimu. Ngalokho, ephasini eliyiPharadesi, bazokufundiswa iimfuneko zakaZimu, begodu bazokufumana ithuba lokuziveza bona bayamthanda uZimu ngokulalela imiyalwakhe.\nLOKHA NEKUVUSWA ABANGAKALUNGI\nLokha abangakalungi nesele bavusiwe, kghani bazokwahlulelwa ngokwalokho abakwenza esikhathini esidlulileko? Awa. KwebeRoma 6:7 ithi: “Nanyana ngubani ofileko, ukhululiwe emandleni wesono.” Abangakalungi bazabe sele babhadalele izono zabo ngokufa. Ngalokho, bazokwahlulelwa ngokwalokho abakwenze ngemva kokuvuswa, ingasi lokho abakwenze ngokungazi ngaphambi kobana bafe. Bazokuzuza njani?\nNgemva kokuvuswa, abalungileko bazokufumana ithuba lokufunda imithetho kaZimu, leyo ezabe yembuliwe lokha kuvulwa imiqulu engokomfanekiso. Ngemva kwalokho bazokwahlulelwa “ukuya ngemisebenzi abayenzileko” ukuthi bayayilalela imithetho kaZimu nofana awa. (IsAmbulo 20:12, 13) Kwabanengi abangakalungi, lokhu kuzabe kungasi lithuba lesibili, kodwana ithuba labo lokuthoma lokufumana ukuphila okungapheliko ephasini ngokufunda nokwenza intando kaZimu.\nIfundiso yeBhayibheli le isize abanengi bona babe nekholo kuZimu. UYeong Sug ngomunye wabo. Wakhuliswa njengomKatolika ozinikelo. Amalunga womndenakhe bekubaphristi. Afuna ukuba yi-nun (umma wekeregeni ongatjhadiko), wayokuhlala ekhaya lawo. Ngokukhamba kwesikhathi, wabeka phasi ngombana wadaniswa zizinto azibona zenzeka lapho. Ngaphezu kwalokho, bekangayamukeli ifundiso yesirhogo ngombana bekacabanga bona ukutlhorisa abantu esirhogweni somlilo kukungabi nabulungiswa nethando.\nNgemva kwalokho, omunye waboFakazi bakaJehova watjengisa uYeong Sug amezwi la aseBhayibhelini: “Abaphilako bayazi bonyana bazokuhlongakala, kodwana abahlongakeleko abazi litho; abasenamvuzo ngombana ukukhunjulwa kwabo akusekho.” (UmTjhumayeli 9:5) AboFakazi bamsiza bona alemuke bonyana abokhokho bakhe abatlhoriswa esirhogweni. Kunalokho, balele ekufeni, balindele ukuvuswa.\nUkwazi bona abantu abanengi akhenge bezwe iqiniso eliseBhayibhelini, uYeong Sug wakhumbula amezwi afumaneka kuMatewu 24:14 athi: “Ivangeli lombusweli lizakutjhunyayelwa ephasini loke, kube bufakazi kizo zoke izizwe ngaphambi kobana kufike isiphetho.” Kwanje uhlanganyela ekutjhumayeleni iindaba ezimnandi nekutjeleni abanye ngethemba elikarisako elisekelwe eBhayibhelini.\nIBhayibheli lithi “uZimu akakhethi, kodwana omesabako enze okulungileko nanyana angewasiphi isizwe uyamukeleka kuye.” (IzEnzo 10:34, 35) Lobu bulungiswa obupheleleko soke esingabulindela kuZimu, ‘othanda okufaneleko nokulungileko.”—IRhubo 33:5.\nText Unkhethani wokudawnloda ezifundelwa emtjhinini ISITHALA Julayi 2014 | Umbono KaZimu Ngokubhema

Ekwaluseni inkomo (herding cattle) - Southern Eye\nHomeEditorial CommentEkwaluseni inkomo (herding cattle)\nTHIS article aims at two things: To explain the Ndebele culture of looking after cattle and to demonstrate the use of Ndebele language in connection with the rearing of cattle.\nIt is language at work. Culturally cattle were by far the most important possession of the Ndebele people.\nA man who had no cattle was a man in name only and was generally looked down upon by other men. On the other hand a man who had many cattle was said to be wealthy and was respected by his society. As a result the Ndebele developed a culture of looking after cattle with all the expertise that goes with it.\nUkwalusa inkomo (looking after cattle) was men’s world . The actual herding was delegated to boys. It was rare that girls went out herding cattle and only if there was no boy in the family.\nEven then neighbours helped by herding their herds together with those of a neighbour without boys or a relative who had a boy to spare sent him over to help – not for hire but to help.\nKwakungaziwa ukuthi umuntu oncedayo uyabhadalwa. Boys were taught in stages to look after cattle. At age eight or nine they started herding calves which did not go out into the open veld with their mothers.\nThe calves were herded close to the homestead. Included with the calves were goats kinds and lambs of sheep. It was at this early stage that boys began to familiarise themselves with livestock.\nAnd while the young boys were out herding calves they began to appreciate open bush life and to choose good pastures for their charges.\nThey began to play little games of the veld and so predisposing themselves for more mature sports that characterise the life of ekwaluseni.\nOn a daily basis the life of ekwaluseni begins in the early morning and ends roughly just before dusk: Umfana uvuka ekuseni ilanga liphuma.\nUyise uvele usevuke kudala kusemathunzi wayohlola ukuthi inkomo zilele kuhle , kazifohlanga zaphuma. Kumnandi ukuzibona zisalele zithe gwaqa azibuke zisetshisa kungathi ziyadla. Umfana ufika uyise usevele usesazi konke ngenkomo zakhe mhlalokho.\nIlanga lithi lingakakhweli umfana usevula isango atshaye igoda lakhe lithi qhwa-a-a! zivuke ziphume zibekelele seziqonda emadlelweni.\nSezisiya chakiswa. Kuhle ziphume ngalesi isikhathi ngoba utshani bulomswane esiswini nxa bungena lamazolo. Mhlawumbe umfana kayedwa ulabanye abafana abangakibo.\nInkomo zokuchaka zande ukuthi ziqalise ukudobhadobha utshani zisaphuma esibayeni zihaba amazolo. Abafana sebelokhu betshaya ukhwelo bezithinta ukuthi zihambe.\nBalezindlela zabo zokubizana labafana bakomakhelwana ngoba ekwaluseni, egangeni, kumnandi nxa bebanengi bexoxa, bedlala, bezingela kunjeya .\nYonke imihlambi iphuma itshiye amathole evalelwe ngekhaya. Bakhona abawavulelayo ukuthi ake adlayidle onina bengakabuyi, aphinde avalelwe.\nUkuchakisa lokhu ebafaneni yikusungula usuku. Ubumnandi bekwaluseni buzakuza emini sekwelusiwe uqobo. OMofukazi laboNtusikazi sebelokhu bebhonsa bekhangele ekhaya, amanye amankomokazi esefuqwa yikutshisa kwamabele uchago selufuthelene inkomokazi isizisenga.\nNxa ilanga selikhwele selibanga enkanda lezithunzi sezisithela ngaphansi kwabantu zonke inkomo sezithintwa ngemihlambi yakwabo sezibuyela ekhaya ukuyasengwa. Kazisabhonsi nje oDlubukazi laboBhidikazi sezisenza okunye.\nOkungabafana sekutshaya amagoda, kutshaye amakhwelo, itsho imvokloklo kuze kudumbe umzimba. Edwendweni qekele ngemuva, ngamatshida amagwayimani aboLentusi.\nEmini nxa sezisengiwe abafana labo sebedlile sezivulelwa ukuya emadlweni. Amathole amancinyane ayasala kuthi lawo asekhulile ahamba lezindala. Emini ziphuma zibekelele ziqonda emadlelweni ngoba ziyakwazi.\nNxa sebefikile emadlelweni imihlambi isithe watha isiklabile iganga lonke. Ziyadla inkomo, ziyabuhemula utshani kunjeya. Abafana sebezuza ithuba lokwenza imidlalo yabo etshiyeneyo.\nEminengi ngeyokuncintisana. Kuyatshikiliswana ngokugijima ukuze kubonakale ukuthi otshiya abanye ngubani. Kubhaqwa insema ngezinti ezicijiweyo, idaywe bona bayicibe ilokhu intantalaza injalo.\nAbanye bayayikhutha kuthi oyicibayo kuthiwe yinkosi. Kuyiwa etshebetshebeni kuyebonwa ukuthi ogiqika atshiye abanye ngubani.\nEkwaluseni lapha kulezingqwele eziyizo eziphethe abafana. Umlandu wazo yikubathuma ukuyanqanda lezo inkomo ezitshotshayo zingeduki.\nKakumnandi ukutshiyiswa ubumanandi bokudlala kuthiwe lizopho lakho lukuyanqanda inkomo Ungaba lesidensi ingqwele yehlisa uswazi lukhothe emhlane.\nUbubi bengqwele yikuxega abafana kuthiwe bindanani kubonwe ozawisa omunye. Kakudlalwa, yona imi ngoswazi. Akufuneki ogwenxa omunye ngoba lokho yikudlelezela. Ubuhlungu bufika nxa lixegwa ngokuthi nqindanani. Ngulowo umfana utshotshozelwa yingqwele yakhe iphethe uswazi.\nKumnandi ekwaluseni. Okulemifula khona eleziziba kuyabhukutshwa kuntshezwe, kutshaywe ibhamu abanye baqethuke ingege. Kanti abanye bakholisa ukuzingela ngezinja zabo loba batshaye inyamazana ngenduku kubonakale lowo onembayo.\nBhakholisa konke lokho nje kanti ezinye inkomo sezisuke zatshotsha zaduhela emasimini akoSiwela. Katshingi nje umdala wakhona udla amalahle. Ubafica belibele belokhu bebindana lukhale luqamuke uswazi endodeni.\nThe foregoing description is only a summary of the culture of ukwelusa (herding cattle). It was an important cultural activity of the Ndebele people conducted in the Ndebele way. Things may have changed but the relics of this culture may still be found in the rural areas.\nThe language is appropriate to the culture that is being described and the vocabulary is as current as any other. No word is obsolete.\nYou can measure your knowledge of the Ndebele language against this passage.\nPrevious articleBook Review with Jerry Zondo\nNext articleZupco employees throng office, demand packages

Ukulalela UJehova Kungilethele Iimbusiso Ezinengi | Isifundo\nUkulalela UJehova Kungilethele Iimbusiso Ezinengi\nIlandiswa Ngu-Elisa Piccioli\nUbaba wathi, “Qala bona sifunda isifundo esihle kangangani kuNowa! UNowa walalela uJehova begodu gade awuthanda umndenakhe, boke basinda kuMthwalela ngombana bangena ngemkhunjini.”\nLE NGEMINYE yemikhumbulo yangaphambilini enginayo ngobaba, indoda ezothileko nezikhandlako. Bekanamazizo anamandla wobulungiswa, ngalokho msinyana ngo-1953 nekezwa umlayezo weBhayibheli waba nekareko kiwo. Kusukela mhlokho, wenza koke osemandlenakhe ukukudlulisela ebantwaneni bakhe lokho ebekakufunda. Ekuthomeni umma bekangakazimiseli ukutjhiya amasikwakhe wobuKatolika. Kodwana ngokukhamba kwesikhathi, naye wathoma ukwamukela iimfundiso zeBhayibheli.\nBekubudisi ngababelethi bethu ukufunda nathi. UMma bekangakafundi kangako, kanti uBaba bekasebenza budisi emasimini begodu isikhathi eside. Ngezinye iinkhathi bekadinwa khulu kangangobana bekayenda nekufundwako. Nokho, imizamwakhe yaba nomphumela. Bengingomkhulu, ngalokho ngasiza ekufundiseni udadwethu nabanakwethu ababili. Lokhu bekuhlanganisa nento uBaba egade ahlala ayitjho—ithando lakaNowa ngomndenakhe, walitjengisa ngokulalela uZimu. Qala bona bengikuthanda kangangani ukulandisa kweBhayibhelokhu! Kungasikade, soke besele siya emihlanganweni eWolweni lomBuso eRoseto degli Abruzzi, idorobha eliseligwini le-Adriatic e-Italy.\nNgo-1955, bengineminyaka eli-11 kwaphela lokha mina nomma siya eentabeni zetjingalanga emhlanganweni wethu wesigodi wokuthoma, eRome. Kusukela mhlokho, ngaqala imibuthano emikhulu le njengengcenye ehle khulu yokuphila kobuKrestu.\nNgabhabhadiswa ngomnyaka olandelako, begodu msinyana ngemva kwalokho ngangenela ikonzo yesikhathi esizeleko. Nengineminyaka eli-17, ngaba liphayona elikhethekileko eLatina, esewula yeRome, emakhilomitha angaba ma-300 ukusuka ekhaya. Bekuyidorobha elitjha, ngalokho akunamuntu obekatshwenyeka khulu ngokuthi umakhelwanakhe ucabangani. Mina negade ngiphayona naye sathatjiswa kurhatjha iincwadi ezinengi zeBhayibheli, kodwana njengombana bengisesemncani, bengikuhlulukela khulu ekhaya! Nanyana kunjalo, bengifuna ukulalela isinqophiso engisinikelweko.\nNgelanga lethu lomtjhado\nNgokukhamba kwesikhathi ngabelwa eMilan ukuyokusiza ngamalungiselelo womHlangano weenTjhaba wango-1963 othi, “Iindaba Ezimnandi Zaphakade.” Emhlanganweni loyo, bengisebenza nabanye njengesisebenzi sokuzithandela, kuhlanganise noPaolo Piccioli, umzalwana osesemutjha ovela eFlorence. Ngelanga lesibili lomhlangano, wanikela ikulumo etjhukumisako ngokungatjhadi. Ngikhumbula ngicabanga, ‘Umzalwana lo ngekhe atjhade.’ Nokho, sathoma ukubhalelana iincwadi begodu kwakhanya bona sinokunengi esifana ngakho—imigomwethu, ithando lethu ngoJehova, nesifiso sethu esinamandla sokumlalela. Ngo-1965 mina noPaolo satjhada.\nNgaba liphayona lesikhathi esizeleko eFlorence iminyaka elitjhumi. Bekuthabisa ukubona ukwanda emabandleni, ukubona ngokukhethekileko abatjha bathuthuka. Mina noPaolo sathabela ukuba nesikhathi nabo eengcocweni ezingokomoya nakezokuzithabisa, ngokuvamileko uPaolo bekadlala nabo ibholo. Bengikuthabela ukuba nesikhathi nendodakwami, kodwana bengibona bonyana ilutjheli nemindeni yebandleni iyazuza kuye begodu itlhoga ikareko yomusa nesikhathisakhe.\nKusangithabisa ukubuyela emva ngicabange ngeemfundo zeBhayibheli ezinengi ebesiziraga. Omunye ebesifunda naye ngu-Adriana, owakhuluma neminye iimndeni eembili ngalokho abekakufunda. Bahlela umhlangano nomphristi bona bazokucoca ngeemfundiso zesondo ezinjengoZiquntathu nokungafi komphefumulo. Kwafika abobhitjhobhi abathathu emhlanganweni loyo. Iinhlathululo zabo bezihlangahlangene begodu zitjhentjhatjhentjha, okwenza esifunda nabo bakulemuka lula lokho nebazimadanisa neemfundiso zeBhayibheli ezikhanya bha. Kwamambala, umhlangano loyo wenza amatjhuguluko. Ngokukhamba kwesikhathi, amalunga ali-15 wemindeni leyo aba boFakazi.\nKuliqiniso, kwanje iindlela zokutjhumayela zihlukile. Ngesikhatheso, uPaolo waba “sikghwari” ekuqalaneni nabaphristi—begodu wahlangana nabanengi babo. Ngikhumbula omunye umhlangano awubamba phambi kwabalaleli abangasiboFakazi. Kwabonakala bonyana abaphristabo bahlele kusesengaphambili bona abalaleli babuze iimbuzo ebeyiqalwa njengebudisi. Nokho, isikhuni sabuya nomkhwezeli. Omunye umuntu wabuza bona kulungile na ngamasondo ukuthi angenele zepolotiki, njengombana sekumakhulu weminyaka enza lokho. Ikukhu yaquntwa umlomo. Khonokho, amalerhe acima, begodu umhlangano wajanyiswa. Ngemva kweminyaka sezwa bona abaphristi bahlela bonyana kucinywe amalerhe lokha izinto zingabakhambeli ngendlela abafuna ngayo.\nNgemva kobana mina noPaolo sitjhade iminyaka elitjhumi, samenywa bona siyokukhonza emsebenzini wokubhoda. UPaolo bekasebenza kuhle, ngalokho bekungasilula ukwenza isiqunto. Kodwana ngemva kokuyicabangela ngomthandazo indaba le, sazenza safumaneka ekwenzeni isabelo esitjha sekonzo. Sakuthabela ukuba nesikhathi nemindeni ebesihlala kiyo. Ebusuku, kanengi besifunda njengesiqhema, begodu ngemva kwalokho uPaolo asize abantwana ngemisebenzabo yesikolo, khulukhulu nekungeyeembalo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uPaolo bekamfundi onetjiseko begodu akuthabela ukukhuluma ngezinto ezikarisako nezakhako azifundileko. NgaboMvulo, besivame ukutjhumayela emadorobheni abekanganaboFakazi, simeme abantu bazokulalela ikulumo ehleliweko ntambama.\nSathabela ukuba nesikhathi nelutjha, ngokuvamileko ebekwenza uPaolo adlale ibholo\nNgemva kweminyaka emibili kwaphela sisemsebenzini wokubhoda, sabizwa bona siyokukhonza eBethel yeRome. UPaolo bekazokutlhogomela iindaba zomthetho, mina ngabelwa eMnyangweni kaMagazini. Ukwenza itjhentjho bekungasilula, kodwana sazimisela ukulalela. Bekuthabisa ukubona ukukhula kancanikancani kwegatja nokwanda okukhulu kwabazalwana e-Italy. Ngesikhatheso, aboFakazi bakaJehova e-Italy bamukelwa njengekolo esemthethweni. Ngokuqinisekileko, besithabile ekonzweni yeBethel.\nUPaolo gade awuthanda umsebenzakhe eBethel\nNesikhonza eBethel, ubujamo bethu obusekelwe eBhayibhelini malungana neengazi bathoma ukwaziwa e-Italy. Ekuthomeni kwabo-1980, kwavulwa icala elingokomthetho elavusa inturhu malungana nalokhu. Isibili esiboFakazi samangalelwa ngamala ngokobana sibangele ukuhlongokala kwendodakazaso, nanyana eqinisweni yahlongakala ngebanga lobulwelwe beengazi obufumaneka ngefuzo kwabanengi esifundeni seMediterranean. Abanakwethu nabodade bemndenini weBethel basiza amagqwetha egade ajamele ababelethi abamaKrestu. Iphetjhana nomagazini okhethekileko we-Phaphama! kwasiza abantu bona bafumane amaqiniso begodu bazwisise kuhle lokho okutjhiwo liLizwi lakaZimu malungana neengazi. Hlangana neenyangezo, uPaolo kanengi bekasebenza ama-awara afikela kwali-16 ngelanga ngaphandle kokuphumula. Ngenza koke engingakwenza bona ngimsekele emizamwenakhe eqakathekileko.\nBesele sitjhade iminyaka ema-20 nesiqalana nobujamo obungakalindeleki. Bengineminyaka ema-41 begodu uPaolo ana-49 nengimtjela bona ngicabanga ukuthi ngizithwele. Edayarinakhe, la atlole khona kwelangelo ngafumana amezwi athi: “Umthandazo: Nengabe kuliqiniso, sisiza sihlale ekonzweni yesikhathi esizeleko, singazigedli ngokomoya, begodu sisiza sibe babelethi abahle ngesibonelo sethu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngisiza ngisebenzise okunganani iphesenti linye lalokho ebengikutjho esiteji eminyakeni engaphezu kwama-30 edlulileko.” Ngokuya ngemiphumela, kufuze bona uJehova wawuphendula umthandazwakhe—newami.\nUkubelethwa kwaka-Ilaria kwaletha amatjhuguluko amakhulu ekuphileni kwethu. Eqinisweni besiba neenkhathi lapho sidana, njengombana kutjho izAga 24:10: “Newunyefako ngesikhathi sokubandezelwa, umkhawulo wamandlakho uyabonakala.” Kodwana sasekelana, sikhumbula ukuqakatheka kokukhuthazana.\nU-Ilaria akazazi ukutjho indlela athaba ngayo ngokubelethwa boFakazi ababili ebebamajadu ekonzweni yesikhathi esizeleko. Khenge azizwe alahliwe; wakhulela emndenini ovamileko. Emini bengihlala nginaye. Ebusuku uPaolo nekafika ekhaya, kanengi bekaba nomsebenzini okufuze awuqedelele; nokho, bekaba nesikhathi naye, adlale naye amsize ngomsebenzi wesikolo. Bekakwenza lokhu ngitjho nanyana bekutjho ukuthi kungenzeka angalali bekube li-awara lesibili nofana lesithathu ekuseni bona aqedelele umsebenzakhe. U-Ilaria bekavame ukuthi, “Ubaba mnganami omkhulu.”\nNjengombana ungacabanga, bekutlhoga ukungatjhuguluki—begodu ngezinye iinkhathi ukuqina—ukusiza u-Ilaria ahlale endleleni yobuKrestu. Ngikhumbula esinye isehlakalo lapho angakhenge aziphathe ngokufaneleko nekadlala nomnganakhe. Sahlathulula ngokweBhayibheli bona kubayini bekufuze angaziphathi ngendlela leya. Begodu samenza wabawa ukulitjalelwa emnganinakhe sikhona.\nU-Ilaria ngokuzimisela uthi uyalithokozela ithando ngekonzo ababelethi bakhe abalitjengisako. Nje, njengombana selatjhadile, uzwisisa ngokuzeleko bona kuqakatheke kangangani ukulalela uJehova nokulandela isinqophiso sakhe.\nUKULALELA NGITJHO NANGEENKHATHI ZOKUDANA\nNgo-2008, uPaolo wafumana bona unekankere. Ekuthomeni kwabonakala ngasuthi uPaolo uzokuphola, begodu wangikhuthaza khulu. Ekungezeleleni ekufuneni iinluleko zokwelapha ezingcono ezifumanekako, sindawonye no-Ilaria saphendukela kuJehova ngemithandazo emide, simbawa bona asisize siqalane nengomuso. Nanyana kunjalo, ngabukela indoda egade iqinile begodu inamandla irhwahlaphala kancanikancani. Ukuhlongakala kwakhe ngo-2010 kwaba buhlungu khulu kimi. Nokho ngafumana induduzo nengicabanga ngesikufikeleleko eminyakeni ema-45 sindawonye. Sanikela uJehova okungcono khulu. Ngiyazi bona umsebenzethu uzokuba ligugu elihlala unomphela. Nami ngiqale phambili ekuboneni uPaolo avuswa, ngokuya kwamezwi kaJesu akuJwanisi 5:28, 29.\n“Ngaphakathi, ngisesemntazinyana loya oyithanda kwamanikelela indaba kaNowa. Umnqophwami awukatjhentjhi”\nNgaphakathi, ngisesemntazinyana loya oyithanda kwamanikelela indaba kaNowa. Umnqophwami awukatjhentjhi. Ngifuna ukulalela uJehova kungakhathaliseki bona ufunani. Ngiyaqiniseka bona nanyana ngiziphi iintjhijilo, ukuzidela, namtjhana ukulahlekelwa kuncani nekumadaniswa neembusiso uZimethu wezulwini asinikela zona. Ngikubonile lokhu—begodu ngiyakuqinisekisa, kuyafaneleka.

Kuyini uJehova asenzele khona okutshengisa ukuthi uyasithanda?\nUYAMTHANDA yini uNkulunkulu? Mhlawumbe watshengisa ukuthi uyamthanda ngokuzinikela kuye. Kungenzakala lokuthi selingabangane. Kodwa iqiniso yikuthi yena wakuthanda ungakamthandi. IBhayibhili lisitshela ukuthi: “Siyathanda ngoba yena wasithanda kuqala.”—1 UJohane 4:19.\n2 Cabanga ngezindlela ezinengi uNkulunkulu atshengise ngazo ukuthi uyasithanda. Wasidala wasifaka emhlabeni omuhle njalo olakho konke esikudingayo ukuze sikholise ukuphila. (UMathewu 5:43-48; ISambulo 4:11) Ufuna sifunde ngaye njalo sibe ngabangane bakhe. Nxa sibala iBhayibhili siyabe silalela uJehova, ikanti nxa sikhuleka uyasilalela. (IHubo 65:2) UJehova uyasiqondisa futhi usinika amandla esebenzisa umoya wakhe ongcwele. (ULukha 11:13) Wathumela iNdodana yakhe ukuze isikhulule esonweni lasekufeni.—Bala uJohane 3:16; KwabaseRoma 5:8.\n3.

Kumele wenze konke okusemandleni akho ukuze ugcine ubungane obunjalo buqinile. UJehova ungumngane wethu oseduze kakhulu yikho kumele senze konke okusemandleni ethu ukuze sihlale singabangane bakhe. Singaba ngabangane bakhe kuze kube nini lanini, yikho iBhayibhili lisithi: “Zigcineni lisethandweni luka-Nkulunkulu.” (UJuda 21) Singakwenza njani lokhu? IBhayibhili lithi: “Ukuthanda uNkulunkulu yilokhu: ukulalela imilayo yakhe. Njalo imilayo yakhe kayinzima.”—1 UJohane 5:3.\n4, 5. (a) IBhayibhili liyabe likhuluma ngani nxa lisithi “ukuthanda uNkulunkulu”? (b) Wezwa njani ngesikhathi ufunda ngokuthi uJehova uyakuthanda?\n4 Liyabe lisitshoni iBhayibhili nxa lisithi “ukuthanda uNkulunkulu”? Liyabe likhuluma ngendlela esimthanda ngayo uNkulunkulu hatshi indlela yena asithanda ngayo. Uyakhumbula yini ngesikhathi uqalisa ukufunda ngoJehova?\nNxa uzinikela kuJehova futhi ubhabhathizwa uyabe utshengisa ukuthi uyamthanda futhi ufuna ukumkhonza okwempilo yakho yonke\n5 Khumbula ukuthi wezwa njani ngesikhathi usizwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufuna uthole ukuphila okungapheliyo epharadayisi lokuthi wathuma iNdodana yakhe ukuthi izosifela. (UMathewu 20:28; UJohane 8:29; KwabaseRoma 5:12, 18) Kuliqiniso ukuthi wathinteka kwamancane ngesikhathi ufunda ukuthi uJehova uyakuthanda njalo lawe waqalisa ukumthanda.—Bala u-1 Johane 4:9, 10.\n6. Kukhanya njani ukuthi umthanda ngeqiniso omunye umuntu? Ukuthanda uNkulunkulu kwakwenza wathatha liphi inyathelo?\n6 Indlela owawumthanda ngayo uNkulunkulu ngalesosikhathi yayiyisiqalo nje. Ngokwesibonelo ukuthanda umuntu othile akupheleli emazwini kuphela. Nxa umthanda sibili kuzakhanya ngokwenza izinto ezimthokozisayo. Kuyafanana lobungane bethu loJehova. Ukuthanda uJehova kwakwenza wazinikela kuye futhi wabhabhathizwa. Ngokwenza njalo wawuthembisa uJehova ukuthi uzamkhonza okwempilo yakho yonke. (Bala uRoma 14:7, 8.) Kodwa kuyini okungakunceda ukuthi umkhonze okwempilo yakho yonke?\n7. Kuyini esizakwenza nxa simthanda uJehova? Yiphi eminye imithetho kaNkulunkulu okumele siyilandele?\n7 Indlela esimthanda ngayo uJehova yenza ‘silalele imilayo yakhe.’ UJehova usebenzisa iBhayibhili ukuze asitshele indlela afuna siphile ngayo. Ngokwesibonelo usitshela ukuthi ukudakwa, ukuntshontsha, ukuya emacansini lomuntu ongatshadanga laye kanye lokukhonza ezinye izinto kubi.—1 KwabaseKhorinte 5:11; 6:18; 10:14; Kwabase-Efesu 4:28; KwabaseKholose 3:9.\n8, 9. Nxa eBhayibhilini kungela mthetho okhuluma ngodaba oluthile, singakwazi njani lokho uJehova afuna sikwenze? Nika isibonelo.\n8 UJehova kajatshuliswa yikuphongumlalela nje. Ngezinye izikhathi kuyabe kungela mthetho ositshela ukuthi senzeni. Kuyini okungasisiza ukuthi senze izinqumo ezinhle nxa singahlangana lesimo esinjalo? (Kwabase-Efesu 5:17) IBhayibhili lisifundisa indlela uJehova abona ngayo izinto. Ukuqhubeka sifunda iBhayibhili kusinceda ukuthi sazi lokho uJehova akuthandayo lakuzondayo.—Bala iHubo 97:10; IZaga 6:16-19; khangela Amabala Asekucineni 1.\n9 Ngokwesibonelo kuyini okungasisiza nxa sikhetha inhlelo esifuna ukuzibukela ku-TV kumbe lokho esikukhangela ku-inthanethi? UJehova kasitsheli ukuthi senzeni kodwa usinika izimiso ezingasinceda ukuthi senze izinqumo ezinhle. Lamuhla ezokuzilibazisa zigcwele udlakela lokuziphatha okubi kwezemacansini. IBhayibhili lisitshela ukuthi uJehova ‘uyabazonda abantu abathanda udlakela’ kanye lokuthi ‘uzakwahlulela izifebe labo bonke abayiziphingi.’ (IHubo 11:5; KumaHebheru 13:4) Izimiso lezi zingasinceda njani ukuthi senze izinqumo ezinhle? Kumele sixwaye loba yini uJehova ayizondayo.\n10, 11. Kungani simlalela uJehova?\n10 Kungani simlalela uJehova? Siyamlalela ngoba siyamthanda. Asenzeli ukubalekela isijeziso kumbe inhlupho eziba khona ngenxa yokungamlaleli. (KwabaseGalathiya 6:7) Sifuna ukwenza uBaba wethu osezulwini athokoze njengomntwana ofisa ukuthokozisa uyise. Akulanto engasenza saneliseke ukwedlula ukwazi ukuthi sithokozisa uJehova.—IHubo 5:12; IZaga 12:2; khangela Amabala Asekucineni 2.\n11 UJehova siyamlalela lanxa kwezinye izikhathi kunzima ukwenza njalo. Asizikhetheli ukuthi yiphi imithetho kaNkulunkulu esifuna ukuyilalela. (UDutheronomi 12:32) Silalela konke uJehova asitshela khona njengomhubi owathi: “Ngithokoza ngisemilayweni yakho ngokuba ngiyayithanda.” (IHubo 119:47; KwabaseRoma 6:17) Sifuna ukulingisela uNowa owenza konke uJehova ayemtshela khona ngoba wayemthanda. IBhayibhili lithi uNowa “wakwenza konke” akulaywa nguJehova. (UGenesisi 6:22) Uyafuna yini ukuba njengoNowa?\n12. UJehova uthokoziswa yizinqumo ezinjani?\n12 UJehova uzwa njani nxa simlalela? Siletha “intokozo enhliziyweni” yakhe. (IZaga 11:20; 27:11) Kuyisibusiso esikhulu ukuthokozisa uMdali wezinto zonke. Kasibambi ngamandla ukuthi simlalele kodwa usinike inkululeko yokuzikhethela. Lokhu kutsho ukuthi siyazikhethela ukuthi sizakwenza okuhle loba okubi. UJehova ufuna indlela esimthanda ngayo isenze sikhethe ukwenza okuhle. Nxa singenza njalo sizaphila impilo engcono kakhulu.—UDutheronomi 30:15, 16, 19, 20; khangela Amabala Asekucineni 3.\n13, 14. Sazi njani ukuthi imithetho kaNkulunkulu kayinzima? Nika umzekeliso.\n13 Uyake uzwe angani imithetho kaJehova inzima kumbe iyakucindezela? IBhayibhili likwenza kucace ukuthi: “Imilayo yakhe kayinzima.” (1 UJohane 5:3) UJehova kasitsheli ukuthi senze okungaphezu kwamandla ethu njalo imithetho yakhe ilula ukuyilandela. Kwamanye amavesi ibala elithi ‘nzima’ litsho imithetho engelangqondo. (UMathewu 23:4; ImiSebenzi 20:29, 30) IBhayibhili okuthiwa yi-New English Translation lithi: “Imithetho yakhe ayisiyo mthwalo.”\n14 Ake sithi uncedisa umngane wakho ukuthutha. Ezinye izinto elizithuthayo zilula ikanti ezinye zingadinga abantu ababili ukuthi bazibambisane. Umngane wakho angakuyekela yini uthwala izinto ezisindayo uwedwa? Hatshi. Ngenxa yani? Ngoba kafuni ukuthi ulimale. UJehova laye unjalo, ngeke asicele ukuthi senze into enzima. (UDutheronomi 30:11-14) UJehova uyasizwisisa. IBhayibhili lithi: “Uyakwazi ukuthi sibunjwa njani, uyakhumbula ukuthi siluthuli.”—IHubo 103:14.\n15. Ukulalela imithetho kaJehova kusinceda ngani?\n15 UMosi watshela ama-Israyeli ukuthi ukulalela imithetho kaJehova kwakuzawenza athole “ukuphumelela lokuphila.” (UDutheronomi 5:28-33; 6:24) Lanamuhla kulokhu kunjalo. Konke uJehova asitshela khona kuyasinceda ukuthi sibe lempilo engcono. (Bala u-Isaya 48:17.) UJehova uyakwazi okungenza impilo zethu zibe ngcono. (KwabaseRoma 11:33) IBhayibhili lithi: “UNkulunkulu uluthando.” (1 UJohane 4:8) Lokhu kutsho ukuthi uJehova wenza zonke izinto ngenxa yokuthi uyasithanda.\n16. Kuyini okungasinceda ukuthi simlalele uNkulunkulu lanxa kulezinto ezenza kube nzima ukwenza njalo?\n16 Kwezinye izikhathi kuba lezinto ezenza kube nzima ukulalela imithetho kaNkulunkulu. Ngokwesibonelo, uSathane nguye obusa umhlaba lo njalo uyasiyenga ukuthi senze okubi. (1 UJohane 5:19) Okunye okungenza kube nzima ukulalela imithetho kaNkulunkulu yimicabango emibi kanye lezifiso ezimbi. (KwabaseRoma 7:21-25) Indlela esimthanda ngayo uNkulunkulu yiyo ezasinceda ukuthi senze okulungileyo njalo uyasincedisa ngokusinika umoya ongcwele. (1 USamuyeli 15:22, 23; ImiSebenzi 5:32) Umoya ongcwele usisiza sibe lobuntu obenza kube lula ukulalela uNkulunkulu.—KwabaseGalathiya 5:22, 23.\n17, 18. (a) Kuyini esizakufunda ebhukwini leli? (b) Sizaxoxa ngani esahlukweni esilandelayo?\n17 Ibhuku leli lizasinceda siphile ngendlela ethokozisa uJehova. Sizafunda ukuthi singazisebenzisa njani izimiso zikaNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zethu. Ungakhohlwa ukuthi uJehova kasibambi ngamandla ukuthi simlalele. Ukulalela uJehova kuzakwenza impilo zethu zibe ngcono kakhulu njalo sithole ukuphila okuphakade. Okuqakatheke kakhulu yikuthi ukulalela uNkulunkulu kutshengisa indlela esimthanda ngayo.—Khangela Amabala Asekucineni 4.\n18 UJehova usinike umzwangedwa ukuze senelise ukukhetha phakathi kokuhle lokubi. Nxa singawuqeqetsha, uzasinceda ukuthi ‘silalele imilayo yakhe.’ Uyini umzwangedwa futhi singawuqeqetsha njani? Lokhu sizaxoxa ngakho esahlukweni esilandelayo.\n1 UNKULUNKULU UYAKUTHANDA\n“Zigcineni lisethandweni luka-Nkulunkulu lisalindele isihawu seNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu ukuba ilingenise ekuphileni okulaphakade.”—UJuda 21\nKuyini okwenza ube leqiniso lokuthi uNkulunkulu uyakuthanda?\nUJohane 3:16; 1 UJohane 4:8-10; ISambulo 4:11\nUJehova wadala umhlaba lakho konke esikudingayo ukuze sikholise ukuphila. Lanxa u-Adamu lo-Eva bona, inhloso kaNkulunkulu ayizange intshintshe. Wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ukuze sibe lethemba lokuphila phakade.\nIHubo 65:2; ImiSebenzi 5:32\nUJehova uyasinceda esebenzisa iBhayibhili, umoya ongcwele kanye lomthandazo. UJehova uyasilalela nxa sikhuleka.\n2 UKULALELA UJEHOVA KUNCEDA THINA\n“Mina nginguJehova, uNkulunkulu wakho, okufundisa lokho okuhle kakhulu kuwe.”—U-Isaya 48:17\nUkulalela uJehova kuzakunceda ngani?\nUDutheronomi 5:28-33; 6:24\nUJehova uyayibona imizamo yethu yokumlalela. Nxa singalalela uNkulunkulu sizakholisa ukuphila futhi sibe lethemba lokuthola ukuphila okuphakade.\n3 UNGATSHENGISA NJANI UKUTHI UYAMTHANDA UJEHOVA?\n“Ukuthanda uNkulunkulu yilokhu: ukulalela imilayo yakhe.”—1 UJohane 5:3\nSingenelisa yini ukulalela uNkulunkulu?\nUDutheronomi 30:11; IHubo 103:14\nUJehova uyakwazi ukuthi silesono. Ngeke asicele ukuthi senze okungaphezu kwamandla ethu.\nIZaga 27:11; KwabaseRoma 7:21-25\nIndlela esimthanda ngayo uJehova yenza simlalele lanxa kwezinye izikhathi kunzima.\nIZaga 6:16-19; Kwabase-Efesu 5:17\nIzimiso zeBhayibhili ziyasinceda ukuthi sikwazi indlela uNkulunkulu acabanga ngayo.

Kasisibo abobusuku loba abobumnyama. 6 Yikho kasingalali njengabanye kodwa kasihlaleni siphapheme njalo sizisebenzise kuhle izingqondo zethu, 7 ngoba labo abalalayo balala ebusuku lalabo abadakwayo badakwa ebusuku. 8 Kodwa thina abemini kasizisebenziseni kuhle izingqondo zethu futhi sigqoke isivikelo sesifuba esilukholo lothando, sigqoke lengwane yokuzivikela elithemba lokusindiswa, 9 ngoba uNkulunkulu kasikhethelanga ulaka kodwa wasikhethela ukuthola insindiso ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu. 10 Wasifela ukuze siphile laye kungelani lokuthi silele* kumbe siqhubeka siphapheme. 11 Ngakho qhubekani likhuthazana* futhi lisakhana, njengoba nje lisenza. 12 Siyalicela-ke bafowethu ukuthi libahloniphe abasebenza nzima phakathi kwenu, belikhokhela eNkosini futhi beleluleka; 13 libaqakathekise kakhulu njalo libathande ngenxa yomsebenzi wabo.

Kubayini sithi ephasineli angeze kwaphela ukutlhaga?\nESIKHATHINI esiphila kiswesi umnotho uhlangana nezinye zezinto ezigandelela khulu. Inengi labantu abatjha liphasi phezulu lifuna umsebenzi, kodwana aliwutholi. Abanye baze bafake nokuphila kwabo engozini ngokuthi bathuthele kwezinye iindawo ezinomnotho othe tjha! Iqiniso kukuthi akunalapha ungaya khona ungafumani abantu abatlhagako, ngitjho neendaweni eziregileko. Abantu abatlhagako batlhaga baya phambili nabaregileko nabo barega baya phambili. Izazi zithi imali yedlanzana labantu abaregileko izokugcina sele idlula imali yenengi labantu abamibodlhana bahlangene. Ngitjho nanyana kubudisi ukukholelwa isibalwesi, iqiniso kukuthi kunamabhiliyoni wabantu abatlhaga lokhu okutlhuwisako. Ngapha abanye imali ithi baba kibo. UJesu nakakhuluma ngendaba le wathi: “Abadududu nizokuhlala ninabo.” (Mar. 14:7) Wenziwa yini umehluko ongaka?\n2 UJesu bekazi bona kungakafiki umBuso kaZimu zomnotho zona ngekhe zathuthuka, kungebangelo atjho amezwi la. Abantu bakaZimu bazihlukanise ngokupheleleko nezepolotiki namasondo wamala, nanyana lokho kubhalela inengi labantu. Ungalibali bona nezomnotho ziseseyingcenye ‘yabarhwebi bephasi’ okukhulunywa ngabo kusAmbulo 18:3.\n3 Thina-ke maKrestu kufuze sizihlole sibone ukuthi sijamephi naziza endabeni yezomnotho wephaseli. Singazibuza imibuzo nasi: ‘Ngingayisebenzisa njani imalami nezinto zami bona ngithuthukise ubuhlobo bami noZimu? Yini engangisiza ngingangeni ngehloko kwezomnotho? Ngiziphi iimbonelo ezitjengisa bona abantu bakaZimu bathembele kuye?’\nUMFANEKISO WOMPHATHI ONGANAQINISO\n4, 5. (a) Umphathi uJesu akhuluma ngaye emfanekiswenakhe waqalana nani? (b) UJesu wathini ebalandelini bakhe?\n4 Funda uLukasi 16:1-9. Soke kufuze akhesiziphe isikhathi sicabange ngomfanekiso kaJesu womphathi onganaqiniso. Kwathi ngemva kokuthi umphathi lo asolwe ngokusaphaza ipahla yomqatjhakhe, wahlakanipha ‘wazenzela abangani’ abazamsiza nakalahlekelwa sikhundla sakhe. * Bekangatjho bona abafundi bakhe kufuze benze ubugirikijani nabazakukghona ukuphila ephasineli. Ngombana wathi abantu abenza njalo ‘babantu bephasi.’ Yeke wenza umfanekiso lo ukwenzela bona asifundise.\n5 UJesu bekazi ukuthi kuzokuba budisi ngabalandeli bakhe bona bakghone ukuziphilisa ephasineli. Bebazokuba sebujamweni umphathi azifumana akibo. Kungebangelo athi ebalandelini bakhe: “Nisebenzise umnono wephaseli ukuzizuzela abangani ukuze kuthi nabuphelako, namukeleke ekuphileni okungapheliko.” Yini esingayifunda eselulekweni sakaJesu?\n6. Sazi njani ukuthi uZimu akakasidaleli ukuthi sigandelelane ngemali?\n6 Asazi ukuthi kubayini uJesu athi umnotho ‘awukalungi’ (NW), kodwana iBhayibheli liyatjho ukuthi uZimu nakadala abantu akhenge abadalele bona basebenzise imali. Phela uJehova nakadala u-Adamu no-Eva wabenzela koke abakutlhogako. (Gen. 2:15, 16) Ngesikhathi sabapostoli ummoya ocwengileko wasebenza emaKrestwini akhethiweko, begodu “akakho noyedwa owathi ipahlakhe ngeyakhe yedwa, kodwana bahlanganyela koke abanakho.” (IzE. 4:32) Nomphorofidi u-Isaya wakhe wakhuluma ngesikhathi lapho woke umuntu ephasini azokuphila kamnandi begodu athabele nezinto ezikhiqizwa liphasi. (Isa. 25:6-9; 65:21, 22) Kodwana nasisaphila ephasineli, soke kuzokufuze sihlakaniphe njengombana sisebenzisa “umnono wephaseli” kube ngapha sisebenza ngamandla bona sithabise uZimu.\nUSEBENZISE KUHLE UMNOTHO WEPHASELI\n7. Ngisiphi iseluleko esikuLukasi 16:10-13?\n7 Funda uLukasi 16:10-13. Okwenza umphathi osemfanekisweni kaJesu bona azenzele abangani kukuthi bekazifunela okuzokusiza yena kwaphela. Kodwana uJesu wakhuthaza abafundi bakhe bona bazakhele abangani ezulwini, bangabi marhamaru. Ivesi elilandela leli uJesu akhuluma ngalo, lihlobanisa ukusebenzisa ‘umnono wephasi’ nokuthembeka kuZimu. UJesu bekasifundisani ngomfanekiso lo? Bekasifundisa ukuthi singahlala sithembekile ngitjho nanyana sinemali enengi namkha umnono omnengi. Alo singakghona njani?\n8, 9. Akhusicocele bona abanye abafowethu nabodadwethu bawusebenzise njani umnono wephaseli.\n8 Enye indlela esingayisebenzisa ngayo imalethu kukuthi sinikele, sisekele umsebenzi wokutjhumayela uJesu athi kuzokufuze wenziwe emtlolweni .

Ngiso soneso nakwezinye iindawo, abanakwethu banikela ngemizabo bona ibe maWolo womBuso, isize amaphayona nabanye abafowethu abangakajami kuhle ngokweemali.\n10. Ziimbusiso bani esingazithola nasingaba babantu abaphanako?\n10 Zoke iimbonelwezi zitjengisa ukuthi abantu bakaZimu ‘bathembekile kokuncani’ okuyimalabo namkha umnono abanawo, phela umnono omkhulu zizinto zakaZimu. (Luk. 16:10) Abangani bakaJehova bazizwa njani ngokudela koke lokhu? Bayazi ukuthi ukupha yindlela yokuthola umnotho “wamambala.” (Luk. 16:11) Omunye udade uhlala enza koke angakwenza bona anikele, nakasitjela ngendlela abusiseke ngayo uthi: “Ukunikela ngemali, kungenze ngathaba ngenye indlela engeze ngayihlathulula. Ngifunde nokuthi nangisolo nginikela, nendlela engiphatha ngayo abanye abantu nayo iyathuthuka. Sengilibalela khudlwana, ngiyababekezelela nabanye abantu, nakunento engidanisileko ngiyamukela, nalokha nangelulekwako ngiyazithoba.” Inengi libonile ukuthi ukupha kuyabuthuthukisa ubuhlobo bomuntu noZimu.—Rhu. 112:5; IzA. 22:9.\n11. (a) Ukupha kwethu ngehliziyo evumako, kutjengisa njani ukuthi sihlakaniphile? (b) Ebantwini bakaZimu ngikuphi ukulingana okukhona ngokweemali? (Qala isithombe esisekuthomeni.)\n11 Nasingathatha imalethu nomnotho esinawo bona sisekele umBuso kaZimu, sizabe sihlakaniphile. Phela lokho kusenza sisize nabanye abantu izinto ezingabakhambeli ngcono njengathi. Abafowethu nabodadwethu abanomnono wephaseli kodwana abangakghoni ukukhonza uZimu isikhathi esizeleko, kuyabathokozisa ukwazi ukuthi iminikelwabo isiza abafowethu abakhonza uZimu isikhathi esizeleko. (IzA. 19:17) Iminikelo leyo isiza bona kugadangiswe iincwadi, ibuye isekele nomsebenzi wokutjhumayela ebantwini abaseendaweni ezidosa emhlweni kodwana abathanda ukwazi ngoZimu. Sekuphele iminyaka eendaweni ezinjengeCongo, eMadagascar neRwanda, abafowethwaba nabakhetha ukuthenga iBhayibheli kufuze bazi ukuthi nakukukudla khona bakhohlwe. Phela ngasikhathi iBhayibheli lingabiza imali abayisebenzele iveke namkha inyanga yoke. Iminikelo yabanakwethu ngiyo esizileko beyenza kwaba ‘nokulingana.’ Ihlangano kaJehova yasiza, yathoma ukutjhugululela iBhayibheli emalimini walapho beyaqiniseka nokobana abafowethu baba namaBhayibhili, kwaba ngiso soneso nebantwini abafundelwako. (Funda 2 Korinte 8:13-15.) Yeke boke abantu, abaphako nabamukelako bangaba bangani bakaJehova.\nYINI ENGASISIZA BONA SINGATHANDI IMALI NAMKHA UMNONO WEPHASELI KHULU?\n12. U-Abrahamu watjengisa njani bona uyakholwa?\n12 Okhunye okungasisiza bona sithuthukise ubuhlobo bethu noJehova, kukuthi singathandi imali namkha umnono khulu begodu sisebenzise nobujamo esikibo bona sifune umnono “wamambala.” Ngilokho okwenziwa ngu-Abrahamu, kazi indoda ebeyinokukholwa le yatjhiya i-Uri indawo ehle yayokuhlala ematendeni ngombana ifuna ukuba nobuhlobo obuhle noJehova. (Heb. 11:8-10) Bekahlala afuna umnono wamambala, azi nokuthi uMthombo wawo nguZimu. Wahlala athembele kuZimu kunokuthi athembele emnonweni. (Gen. 14:22, 23) UJesu wathi kufuneka ukukholwa okunjalo, lokhu sikubona kilokho akutjela isokana ebeliregile wathi: “Nawufuna bona ulunge uphelele, khamba uyokuthengisa koke onakho, unikele abadududu, uzakuba nobugwili ezulwini. Yeke uze ungilandele.” (Mat. 19:21) Isokanelo belingakholwa njengo-Abrahamu, nanyana kunjalo kunabantu abathemba uZimu ngeenhliziyo zabo zoke.\n13. (a) UPowula wamyelelisa ngani uThimothi? (b) Singasisebenzisa njani iseluleko sakaPowula namhlanjesi?\n13 UThimothi naye bekayindoda enokukholwa. Ngemva kokuthi uPowula abize uThimothi ‘ngesotja elihle lakaKrestu’ watjho amezwi naka: “Akakho ophuma ipi khisibe usazilibazisa ngokwekhaya; ibutho liphikelela ukuthokozisa indunalo.” (2 Thim. 2:3, 4) Abalandeli bakaJesu banamhlanjesi bayasilalela iseluleko sakaPowulwesi, bese benza lokho abangakghona ukukwenza, abangaphezu kwesigidi babo bakhonza uZimu isikhathi esizeleko. Balwisana nemikhangiso engabenza babe marhamaru kube ngapha balwisana nabantu abangamhloniphi uZimu, begodu balalela iseluleko nasi: “Obolekako ulikhoboka lobolekisanako.” (IzA. 22:7) USathana angathaba khulu nakangasibona sisebenzisa isikhathi sethu esinengi sigijimisana nemali namkha umnono wephaseli. Iqiniso kukuthi ezinye iinqunto esizithathako zingasidosisa emhlweni isikhathi eside. Ungazifumana sewungene ngehloko eenkolodweni, kube sikolodo sendlu, sikoloda sokufunda, isikolodo sekoloyi ngitjho nemitjhado ebiza imali engangemali. Yeke nasingahlakanipha sizokuphungula iindleko zethu sibalekele nokwenza iinkolodo ezinengi, bese sisebenzise isikhathi sethu esinengi emsebenzini kaZimu.—1 Thim. 6:10.\n14. Kufanele sizimisele kangangani ukusekela umsebenzi kaZimu? Iza nesibonelo.\n14 Nasifuna ukuphila ipilo enganazo iindleko ezinengi kufuze sazi ukuthi yini eza qangi. Abanye abatjhadikazi bebanebhizinisi ekulu begodu yenza nemali enengi. Kodwana ngebanga lokuthi bebafuna ukubuyela ekusebenzeleni uZimu isikhathi esizeleko, bathengisa ibhizinisabo, bathengisa nesikepe sabo nezinye izinto. Bese bayokusiza ekwakheni emzimkhulu oseWarwick, eNew York. Babusiseka khulu ngokuthi babelwe ukuyokusebenza eBethel nomntazanabo kunye nomkhwenyanabo, begodu basebenza nababelethi abatjhade umntazanabo iimveke ezimbalwa khona eWarwick. Omunye udade oliphayona ohlala eColorado, e-U.S.A., wathola umsebenzi ebhankeni, begodu bekaya ngamalanga athileko. Abantu ebebasebenza naye bebathaba khulu ngomsebenzakhe baze bafuna nokumnikela isikhundla ebesizokufuna ukuthi asebenze woke amalanga, isikhundleso besizokubuyelela umrholwakhe kathathu. Wabona ukuthi umsebenzi lo uzokudla isikhathi sakhe sokutjhumayela. Sesimane sabala ezimbalwa zeembonelo ezitjengisa ukuthi abantu bakaJehova bazidela kangangani. Ukulwela kwabantu bakaZimu ukubeka umBuso kaZimu qangi, kutjengisa ukuthi babuthathela phezulu ubuhlobo babo noZimu nokuthi umnono wamambala bawuthanda ukudlula nanyana yini abangayithola ephasineli.\nNAKUPHELA UMNONO WEPHASELI\n15. Ngiwuphi umnono owanelisako?\n15 Nasinemali namkha umnono omnengi lokho akutjho ukuthi uJehova uyasamukela. Phela uJehova ubusisa abantu bona ‘banothe ngemisebenzi emihle.’ (Funda 1 Thimothi 6:17-19.) Ngokwesibonelo uLucia * wathi nakezwa bona e-Albania kutlhogeka abatjhumayeli, wavele watjhiya inarha ye-Italy ngo-1993, nakakhambako bengakangazi nokwazi ukuthi uyokufika adleni lapho, kodwana wakhetha ukuthembela kuJehova. Wafika wafunda ilimi lesi-Albania lapho, sikhuluma nje sebele afundele abantu abama-60 woke begodu babhajadiswa. Ngitjho nanyana inengi lethu lingatjhumayeli eendaweni ezithela ngalendlela, koke esikwezako bona sisize abanye abantu bahlale endleleni yokuphila, kuyasithokozisa.—Mat. 6:20.\n16. (a) Yini ezokwenzeka ngomnono waphaseli? (b) Lokho esikwaziko ngengomuso, kufuze kusenze siyiqale njani imali?\n16 UJesu wathi: “Umnono [wephaseli] . . . Nawuphelako.” (Luk. 16:9) UJesu akhenge athi umnono lo ‘nawungaphela’ kodwana wathi uzokuphela. Amabhanga nomnotho uragela phambili nokuwa emihleni yokuphela le, kodwana kusesekuncani lokhu nakumadaniswa nendlela ozabe ungayo esikhathini esizako. Loke iphasi lakaSathaneli, ipolotiki, amasondo wamala nezomnotho akukenzelwa bona kuhlale bekube nini nanini. Umphorofidi uHezekiyeli nomphorofidi uZefaniya babikezela bona igolide nesiliva zizokukhamba ziphelelwe sikhathi, phela izintwezo beziqakatheke khulu ngesikhatheso. (Hez. 7:19; Zef. 1:18) Ungazizwa njani nange ungafumana bona kungasikade uzokufa, kuthi kusesenjalo ulemuke ukuthi usebenzise isikhathi sakho esinengi ugijimisana nezinto zephaseli esikhundleni sokuthi ngathana usebenzise isikhathi sakho uzifunela umnotho wamambala? Ungazizwa njengendoda esebenze ukuphila kwayo koke ibuthelelana nemali, bese kuthi ekugcineni ibone ukuthi koke lokho bekulilize. (IzA. 18:11) Ekugcineni kuzokufika isikhathi lapho imali ingekhe yasisebenzela khona, yeke isebenzise kuhle ‘uzenzele abangani’ ezulwini. Nanyana yini esiyenzako bona sisekele umBuso kaJehova, izokuthuthukisa indlela esimthanda ngayo.\n17, 18. Abangani bakaZimu balindele ini?\n17 Nakufika umBuso kaZimu, abantu ngeze basabhadela izindlu, ukudla kuzokuba kunengi begodu neemalikazi ezibhadelwako kwezamaphilo angeze zisabhadelwa. Woke umndeni kaZimu uzokuthabela koke okuhle okukhiqizwa liphasi. Igolide, isiliva namanye amagugu sizabe sihlobisa ngawo ephasini elitjha, ngeze asabekelwa ukwenze imali. Nezindlu zethu sizozakha ngamagodo, amatje nangeensimbi ezisezingeni eliphezulu, kwamambala siyokwakha izindlu ezihle. Nabangani bethu angeze basisiza ngebanga lokuthi bafuna imali, kodwana bazosisiza ngombana bathanda. Yoke imikhiqizo ezokukhitjhwa liphasi, sizoyisebenzisa soke.\n18 Lokhu ngokhunye kwalokho okuzokuthabelwa babantu abazenzela abangani ezulwini. Abantu bakaJehova bazabe bathabe khulu nabezwa amezwi kaJesu athi: ‘Yizani nina enibusiswe nguBaba! Thathani ilifa lenu okumBuso olungiselelwe nina kusukela ekudalweni kwephasi.’—Mat. 25:34.\n^ isig. 4 UJesu akhenge atjho bona kuliqiniso namkha kumamanga umphathi lo asolwa ngakho. Ibizo lesiGirigi elithi “owasolwa” elisetjenziswe kuLukasi 16:1 linomqondo wokuthi umphathi lo wanindwa ngomlandu. Okhunye esikufumanako kilokhu kukuthi uJesu into adzimelela kiyo yindlela umphathi asabela ngayo, ingasi ukuthi waqothelwani.\n^ isig. 15 Umlandu kaLucia Moussanett wavela ePhaphameni! kaJune 22, 2003, kk. 18-22.\nUNGANIKELA NJANI KUJW.ORG?\nUmsebenzethu wokufundisa abantu ngeBheyibheli usekelwa ngeminikelo osuka ehliziyweni. Nawufuna ukunikela nge-inthanethi ngena ku-jw.org ugandelele lapho kuthi khona “Nikelela Umsebenzi Wethu Wephasi Loke.”


Siza ‘Abantu Abavela Kwezinye Iinarha Balotjhe UJehova Bathabile’ | IsiThala\n“[UJehova] ulonda [abantu abavela kwezinye iinarha].”—RHU. 146:9.\nIINGOMA: 84, 73\nNgiziphi iintjhijilo inengi lababaleki eliqalana nazo?\nSingabasiza njani ababaleki bafumane abakutlhogako?\nYini okungakafuzi siyilibale nasitjhumayeza abafiki?\n1, 2. (a) Ngiziphi iintjhijilo abanye abanakwethu abaqalana nazo? (b) Ngimiphi imibuzo ephakamako?\nOMUNYE umfowethu ibizo lakhe nguLije uthi, “Lokha nakuzakuthoma ukubulawa kwabantu eBurundi, umndeni wekhaya bewusemhlanganweni. Besibabona abantu babaleka, sizwa netjhada leengidi. Mina nababelethi bami nabantwana bekhethu abali-10, sabaleka sisabela amaphilwethu, besiphethe nje iimpahla kwaphela emgodlenethu. Abanye bekhethu bagcina bafikile ekampeni yababaleki ebeyiseMalawi, kazi lelo bekulikhambo elathatha amakhilomitha angaphezu kwe-1 600. Thina abanye saphadlhalala nenarha.”\n2 Bangaphezu kwabazii-65 000 000 ababaleki ePhasini mazombe ababaleke ngebanga lepi nokuhlunguphazwa, isibalwesi sidlula zoke iimbalo ekhezaba khona. * Abanye hlangana kwabantwaba ziinkulungwana zabofakazi bakaJehova. Abanye batjhiywa mindenabo ngebanga lokufa, abanye balahlekelwa ngizo zoke izinto ebebanazo. Ngiziphi ezinye iintjhijilo abanye abaqalana nazo? Singabasiza njani abanakwethwaba bona ‘balotjhe [uJehova] ngokuthaba’ nanyana baqalene neentjhijilo? (Rhu. 100:2) Singabatjhumayeza njani ngendlela ephumelelako ababaleki abangakabi ukumazi uJehova?\n3. Kwenzeka njani bona uJesu nenengi labafundi bakhe babe babaleki?\n3 Ngemva kobana uJehova asebenzise ingilozi bona itjele uJosefa ukuthi iKosi uHerode ifuna ukubulala uJesu, bathoma mhlokho ukubaleka babalekela eGibhide. Bahlala eGibhide bekwafa uHerode. (Mat. 2:13, 14, 19-21) Ngemva kwamatjhumi weminyaka, abafundi bakaJesu bekuthomeni “bahlakazeka emazweni weJudiya neSamariya” ngebanga lokutjhutjhiswa. (IzE. 8:1) UJesu khewakutjho ukuthi inengi labafundi bakhe belizokukatelelwa bona litjhiye imizalo. Wathi: “Nabanizumako kelinye idorobho, balekelani kelinye.” (Mat. 10:23) Kubulula ukubalekela kenye inarha ngebanga lezinye iinzathu.\n4, 5. Ngiyiphi ingozi ababaleki abaqalana nayo lokha (a) nababaleka? (b) Nabasekampeni?\n4 Ngezinye iinkhathi ababaleki bangazifumana baqalene neengozi lokha nababaleka nalokha nabasendaweni ababalekele kiyo. Umnakwabo lakaLije uGad uthi, “Besiceda iimveke sisendleleni, sidlula imizimba yabantu ibusapha sapha. Ngesikhatheso bengineminyaka eli-12 ubudala. Kazi iinyawo zami zavuvuka kangangobana ngabhalelwa kukhamba, yeke ngatjela bekhaya bona bakhambe bangitjhiye. Nakungubaba yena, awa akhenge avuma bona ngisale, wangitjatha sakhamba. Sakghona ukuraga nepilo ilanga nelanga, besithembele kuJehova kanti ngezinye iinkhathi besidla neenthelo ezinjengomengo ebezimila ehlathinapho.”—Flp. 4:12, 13.\n5 Abanengi emndenini kaLije bahlala iminyaka eminengi ekampeni yababaleki ye-United Nations. Nanyana kunjalo, khonapho bebangakaphephi. ULije ungumjikelezi sikhuluma nje, nakakhumbula isikhatheso uthi: “Abantu abanengi bebangasebenzi. Bebahlalela ukuhleba, ukusela, ukugembula, ukweba begodu bebenza izenzo ezisilapheleko.” AboFakazi ebebalapho ngekampeni bekufuze badzimelele emisebenzini yebandla bona babalekele ukuziphatha kumbi. (Heb. 6:11, 12; 10:24, 25) Bona bahlale badzimelele eemfundisweni zeBhayibheli basisebenzise kuhle isikhathi sabo, begodu bakwenza lokho ngombana abanengi bathoma ukuphayona. Okwabaqinisa khulu kukhumbula ukuthi kazi nama-Israyeli khewaba babaleki ngesinye isikhathi, begodu isikhatheso saphela, nakibo isikhathi sokuba babaleki sizokuphela.—2 Kor. 4:18.\nUKUTJENGISA ABABALEKI ITHANDO\n6, 7. (a) “Ithando lakaZimu” lenza amaKrestu abasize njani abanakwabo abababaleki? (b) Sinikela isibonelo.\n6 “Ithando lakaZimu” lisitjhukumisela bona sitjengise abanye ithando, khulukhulu ebujamweni obubudisi. (Funda 1 Jwanisi 3:17, 18.) Ngesikhathi sokuphela kokudla emaKrestwini weJudiya ekhulwini lokuthoma, iBandla lahlela bona amakrestu la asizwe. (IzE. 11:28, 29) Umpostoli uPowula kunye noPitrosi nabo babawa amaKrestu bona aphathe kuhle abanye bebabamukele nemizinawo. (Rom. 12:13; 1 Pit. 4:9) Nakhibe siyabamukela abanakwethu lokha nabasivakatjheleko, sithini-ke ngabanakwethu abababaleki abafika enarhenethu ngombana ipilwabo isengozini namkha ngebanga lokutjhutjhiselwa ukukholwa kwabo?—Funda IzAga 3:27. *\n7 Muva nje, iinkulungwana zabobaba, abomma nabantwana zibalekile enarheni yase-Ukraine, zibalekela itjhutjhiso. Okubuhlungu kukuthi abanye babo babulawa ngitjho nokubulawa. Kodwana okhunye okuhle kukuthi inengi labo lasizwa banakwethu ngokubavulela imizabo kwathi abanye bathathwa banakwethu basenarheni ye-Russia. Kizo zombili iinarhezi, abanakwethu baragela phambili ‘nokungazibandakanyi eendabeni zephasi’ begodu baragela phambili ‘nokutjhumayela ilizwi lapha bakhamba khona.’—Jwa. 15:19; IzE. 8:4.\nUKUSIZA ABABALEKI BAQINISE UKUKHOLWA KWABO\n8, 9. (a) Ngiziphi iintjhijilo ababaleki abaqalana nazo nabakwenye inarha? (b) Kubayini batlhoga isizo lethu?\n8 Abanye ababaleki ngeenzathu ezihlukahlukeneko babalekela kenye indawo eenarheni zekhabo, bese abanye babalekela enarheni abangayaziko namkha abathomako ukuyibona. Urhulumende angalinga bona abanikele ukudla, izembatho nendawo yokulala, kodwana bangase bangakufumani ukudla abakujayeleko. Abanye ababaleki eendaweni abasuka kizo ubujamo bezulu buyatjhisa bese kuthi eendaweni ababalekela kizo bafumane ukuthi ubujamo bezulu bakhona bumakhaza, lokho kwenza bangazi bona bangabumbathela njani ubujamobo. Nakhibe babafiki abavela eendaweni zemakhaya, mhlamunye bangase bangakwazi kuhle ukusebenzisa izinto zanje zangendlini.\n9 Abanye aborhulumende banamahlelo wokusiza ababaleki bona bajayelane nobujamo babo obutjha. Nanyana kunjalo, kanengi ababaleki kulindeleke bona ngemva kweenyanga ezimbalwa bazitlhogomele. Amatjhuguluko la angaba sitjhijilo tle. Akhuzicabange ulinga ukujayela ilimu elitjha, ufunda nesiko elitjha lendawo, imithelo, ukubhadela iinkolodo, indlela yokwenza izinto kunye nemithetho yendawo, ukufunda esikoleni esitjha mhlamunye nendlela etjha yokufundisa abantwana. Angeze wafaka isandla na, usize abodadwethu nabafowethu abaqalana neentjhijilwezi?—Flp. 2:3, 4.\n10. Singakuqinisa njani ukukholwa kwababaleki? (Qala isithombe esisekuthomeni.)\n10 Ngezinye iinkhathi, iinkhulu zomthetho khezakwenza kwaba mraro ngabafowethu abababaleki bona bakghone ukuthintana nebandla. Ezinye iinhlangano zilise ukusiza abafowethu nabangafuni ukuthatha umberego ozobenza balahlekelwe mihlangano. Ngebanga lokusaba, abanye abafowethu babhalelwe kujamelana negandelelwelo. Lokho kukwenza kuqakatheke tle bona sirhabele ukubahlangabeza lokha nabafika enarhenethu. Kuqakatheke khulu bona babone ukuthi siyabathanda. Nabasibona sibathanda lokho kungabasiza kuqinise ukukholwa kwabo.—IzA. 12:25; 17:17.\nUKUNIKELA ABABALEKI ISIZO ABALITLHOGAKO\n11. (a) Yini etlhogwa babaleki? (b) Ababaleki bangatjengisa njani bona bayalithokozela isizo abanikelwa lona?\n11 Abafowethu abababaleki singabasiza ngokubanikela ukudla, izembatho, namkha okhunye abakutlhogako. * Izenzo eziqaleka zizincani, njengokunikela umfowethu itayi, kungatjho litho likhulu kuye. Kanti lokha ababaleki nabakuthokozela abenzelwa khona, bangafuni okhunye okudlula lokho, nabenza njalo basuke bavumela labo ababasizako bona baragele phambili babasiza ngeenhliziyo ezithabileko. Iye siyavuma bona ukuphila ngokusizwa babanye kungenza ababaleki bona bazinyaze kancani begodu lokho kungalimaza nobuhlobo babo nabanye abafowabo. (2 Thes. 3:7-10) Kodwana bona bayalitlhoga isizo.\nSingabasiza njani abafowethu nabodadwethu abababaleki? (Qala iingaba 11-13)\n12, 13. (a) Ngiziphi ezinye izinto esingazenza bona sisize ababaleki? (b) Sitjele ngesibonelo.\n12 Ukusiza ababaleki akutlhogi imali enengi kodwana kutlhoga sibanikele isikhathi sethu sibatjengise nokuthi siyabathanda. Izinto esingabasiza ngazo kubatjengisa ukuthi bangayifumanaphi ibhesi namkha iteksi, bangakuthengaphi ukudla okubiza kancani, bangawafumanaphi amathulusi wokusebenza, njengemitjhini yokuthunga, yokusika utjani ukwenzela bona nabo bazisebenze bafumane imali. Okuqakatheke khulu kubasiza bona bajayele ebandleni begodu babe nengcenye ezintweni ezenziwa ebandleni. Nawunekoloyi begodu ubujamo buvuma khamba nabo esifundweni. Bahlathululele bona bangabatjhumayeza njani abantu ngeendaba zomBuso. Khamba nabo nawuyokutjhumayela.\n13 Ngesikhathi kufika ababaleki abane abaseminyakeni yobutjha kelinye ibandla, abadala abathileko babafundisa ukutjhayela ikoloyi, ukutlola ngekhompyutha ukutlola iimbawo zomsebenzi kunye nokuhlela isikhathi sabo kuhle ukwenzela bona balotjhe uJehova ngokuzeleko. (Gal. 6:10) Msinyana nje, bobane njalo babamaphayona. Ukutlhogonyelwa kunye nokuba nemigomo yokulotjha uZimu kwabasiza bathuthuka kuhle babalekela ukulinyazwa liphasi lakaSathana elimbeli.\n14. (a) Ngiziphi iinlingo ababaleki okufuze bazibekezelele? (b) Sitjele ngesibonelo.\n14 Njengawo woke amaKrestu, ababaleki nabo kufuze balwisane neenlingo negandelelo lokulimaza ubuhlobo babo noJehova ngebanga lokuthanda izinto zakanokutjho. * ULije ekhesakhuluma ngaye ngaphambili, ukhumbula isibonelo sokukholwa yena nabekhabo abasibona kubababo ngesikhathi babaleka. “Kancanikancani, ubaba bekalahla ezinye izinto ebesingazitlhogi. Ekugcineni, waphakamisa isikhwama esinganalitho wamomotheka wathi: ‘Niyabona? Ngilokhu kwaphela enikutlhogako!’”—Funda 1 Thimothi 6:8.\nUKUTLHOGOMELA IINDINGO ZABABALEKI\n15, 16. Singabasekela njani ababaleki nakuziwa (a) ekuthuthukiseni ubuhlobo babo noZimu? (b) nendabeni yokubaduduza?\n15 Ngaphezu kokubatlhogomela ngezinto eziqalekako, ababaleki batlhoga ukusekelwa godu nangokududuzwa babuye bakhuthazwe bona bathuthukise ubuhlobo babo noZimu. (Mat. 4:4) Abadala bangabasiza ngokubafunela iincwadi zelimi labo kunye nokuthintana nabafowethu nabodade abakhuluma ilimelo. Ababaleki abanengi bahlukaniswe kabuhlungu nemindenabo, iinhlobo zabo kunye namabandlabo. Bayakutlhoga ukuzwa ithando lakaJehova nethando labafowabo abamaKrestu. Lokha nabangakutholi koke lokho, bangakateleleka bona batjhidelane neenhlobo ezingakholwako namkha abomakhelwana abangakholwako kodwana abababaleki njengabo. (1 Kor. 15:33) Nasibenza bazizwe bamukelekile ebandleni, lokho kuzosivulela amathuba wokusebenzisana noJehova ‘silonde iinkhonzi’ zakhe.—Rhu. 146:9.\n16 Njengombana bekunjalo ngoJesu omncani nomndenakhe, ababaleki nabo kungenzeka bona bangasakghoni ukubuyela eenarheni abavela kizo nakhibe ababusi abagandelelako basabusa. Ngaphezu walokho, njengombana uLije khewatjho, “ababelethi abaningi ababone amalunga womndenawo abulawa amanye akatwa kabuhlungu ngekhe kwaba bulula bona babuyele endaweni ekwenzeka khona iingamekwezo, ingasaphathwa yokuletha abantwana babo endaweni enjalo.” Yeke Abafowethu abasendaweni lapho kufikela khona khulu ababaleki bangabasiza ngokuthi ‘bazwelane nabo, babathande, babe nehliziyo enesisa nokuthobeka.’ (1 Pit. 3:8) Ukutjhutjhiswa kwenze abanye ababaleki bona bafele ngaphakathi, begodu babe neenhloni nakufuze bakhulume phambi kwabantwana babo ngezinto ezibatshwenyako. Akhuzibuze umbuzo naku, ‘Ngathana bengisemanyathelwenabo, bengingathanda ukuphathwa njani?’—Mat. 7:12.\nUKUTJHUMAYEZA ABABABALEKI ABANGASIBOFAKAZI BAKAJEHOVA\n17. Ukutjhumayeza ababaleki kukuletha njani ukuqabuleka?\n17 Inengi lababaleki livela eendaweni lapho kuvinjelwe khona umsebenzi wokutjhumayela. Sithokoza khulu ngokuzimisela kwabatjhumayeli abaseenarheni lapho kufikela khona ababaleki, inkulungwana zababaleki ziyawuzwa “umlayezo ngomBuso” kunjalo nje abanye bawuzwa kokuthoma epilwenabo. (Mat. 13:19, 23) Inengi labo “nalidisibezekako” lifunyana ukuqabuleka emihlanganweni begodu ngalokho nalo liyavuma ukuthi: ‘UZimu uphakathi kwethu.’—Mat. 11:28-30; 1 Kor. 14:25.\n18, 19. Singakutjengisa njani ukuhlakanipha lokha nasitjhumayeza ababaleki?\n18 Labo abatjhumayeza ababaleki kufuze ‘bahlakaniphe’ begodu batjengise ‘ukuvuthwa.’ (Mat. 10:16; IzA. 22:3) Balalelisise nabaveza amazizwabo, kodwana ungacoci nabo ngeendaba zepolotiki. Landela iinqophiso zegatja nezomthetho; ungathomi uzifake engozini namkha ufake abanye. Funda amasiko wababaleki kunye neenkolelo zabo, uthole nokuthi kukuphi lapho bangafuni ukuthintwa khona. Ngokwesibonelo, abanye abantu kezinye iinarha, indaba yokumbatha nokuzilungisa kwabomma bayiqala njengeqakatheke khulu. Yeke, nawutjhumayeza ababaleki, kufuze umbathe ngendlela engekhe ibakhube.\n19 Njengomakhelwana onguMsamariya emfanekisweni kaJesu, sifuna ukusiza abatlhagako, kunye nalabo abangasi boFakazi. (Luk. 10:33-37) Indlela engcono khulu yokwenza lokho kubatjhumayeza sibatjele ngeendaba ezimnandi. Omunye umdala webandla osele asize ababaleki abanengi wathi: “Kuqakatheke khulu ukubatjela zisasuka ukuthi siboFakazi bakaJehova begodu umsebenzethu kubasiza bazi ngoJehova, ingasi ukubanikela izinto zakanokutjho namkha ukubafunela umsebenzi.” Umdala lo uthi: “Nange singabahlathuleli kuhle lokho, abanye babo bangazihlanganisa nathi ngomnqopho wokwanelisa iimfiso zabo.”\n20, 21. (a) Yini eba mphumela wokutjengisa ababaleki ithando lobuKrestu? (b) Sizokucoca ngani esihlokweni esilandelako?\n20 ‘Ukuthanda abafiki’ kuletha imiphumela emihle. Udade igama lakhe lingu-Alganesh wabalekela itjhutjhiso ye-Eritrea nabantwana bakhe abancani abasithandathu. Bakhamba bebafika eSudan ngemva kwamalanga abunane bakhamba endaweni etjhisako. U-Alganesh uyaraga, uthi: “Abafowethu basiphatha njengeenhlobo zabo zamambala, basinikela ukudla, izembatho, indawo yokulala kunye nezinto zokukhamba. Ngubani omunye ongamukela iinkhambi angazaziko ngebanga lokuthi balotjha uZimu munye? Akekho omunye ngaphandle kwaboFakazi bakaJehova!”—Funda uJwanisi 13:35.\n21 Kuthiwani ngabantwana bababaleki? Esihlokweni esilandelako sizokucoca ngokuthi singabasiza njani balotjhe uJehova bathabile.\n^ isig. 2 Esifundwenesi, sisebenzise ibizo elithi “Ababaleki” ukuveza labo ababalekele eendaweni ezithileko, iindawezo kungaba ziindawo ezimagega nenarha namkha ngaphakathi enarheni leyo, kanti babaleke ngebanga lemiguruguru namkha ngebanga leenhlekelele kuhlanganise nezipi. I-UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees), ithi, “umuntu munye hlangana kwabantu abali-113 ephasini mazombe uzifumana akatelelekile bona abe mbaleki.”\n^ isig. 6 Qala isihloko esithi “Ningalibali Ukwamukela Abayeni” esiThaleni saka-Oktoba 2016, kk. 8-12.\n^ isig. 11 Nakufika ababaleki ebandleni, abadala bebandla kufuze balandele iinqophiso ezisencwadini ethi, Ukuhlelelwa Ukwenza Intando KaJehova esahlukweni 8, isigaba 30. Abadala bangathintana namabandla ngokutlolela igatja basebenzisa i-jw.org. Nakusesenjalo, bona bangaragela phambili ngokufuna imininingwana ngokuthi babuze imibuzo engekhe ibalimaze ababaleki kodwana ngesikhathi esifanako ezobanikela ilwazi abalitlhogako ngobujamo bombaleki, ibandla abuya kilo kunye nobuhlobo bakhe noZimu.\n^ isig. 14 Qala isihloko esithi “Akakho Ongasebenzela Abaphathi Ababili” nesithi “Yiba Nesibindi—UJehova Uzakusiza!” kusiThala saka-Apreli 15, 2014, kk. 17-26.


Kungani le phathi yamjabulisa uNkulunkulu?\nUYATHANDA yini ukuya emaphathini?— Kuba mnandi kakhulu emaphathini. Ucabanga ukuthi uMfundisi Omkhulu uyathanda siye kuwo?— Yena waya ephathini ngesikhathi kunomshado, wahamba nabafundi bakhe abathile. UJehova ‘unguNkulunkulu ojabulayo,’ ngakho uyajabula uma sizijabulisa emaphathini amahle.—1 Thimothewu 1:11; Johane 2:1-11.\nEkhasini 29 lale ncwadi kuthiwa uJehova wahlukanisa uLwandle Olubomvu ukuze ama-Israyeli akwazi ukuwela. Uyakhumbula sifunda ngalokho?— Lapho abantu sebewelile, bacula, badansa, babonga uJehova. Kwakungathi iphathi. Abantu babejabule kakhulu, futhi asingabazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu naye wayejabulile.—Eksodusi 15:1, 20, 21.\nNgemva kweminyaka ecishe ibe ngu-40, ama-Israyeli aya kwenye iphathi enkulu. Abantu ababewamemele kule phathi babengamkhonzi nhlobo uJehova. Empeleni, laba bantu babeze baguqe bakhulekele abanye onkulunkulu futhi balale nabantu abangashadile nabo. Ucabanga ukuthi kwakulungile ukuya kuleyo phathi?— UJehova yena akakuthandanga lokho futhi wawajezisa ama-Israyeli.—Numeri 25:1-9; 1 Korinte 10:8.\nIBhayibheli lisitshela nangamaphathi amabili ezinsuku zokuzalwa. Ingabe enye yawo kwakungeyokugubha usuku lokuzalwa koMfundisi Omkhulu?— Cha. Womabili la maphathi ezinsuku zokuzalwa ayengawabantu abangamkhonzi uJehova. Enye kwakuyiphathi yosuku lokuzalwa kweNkosi uHerode Antipase. Uyena owayengumbusi wesifunda saseGalile ngesikhathi uJesu ehlala khona.\nZiningi izinto ezimbi ezenziwa yiNkosi uHerode. Wathatha inkosikazi yomfowabo wayenza eyakhe. Igama layo kwakunguHerodiya. Inceku kaNkulunkulu uJohane uMbhapathizi yatshela uHerode ukuthi wenze into embi. UHerode akakuthandanga lokho. Wabe esevalela uJohane ejele.—Luka 3:19, 20.\nNgesikhathi uJohane eboshiwe, kwafika usuku lokuba kugujwe ukuzalwa kukaHerode. UHerode wenza iphathi enkulu. Wamema abantu abaningi abadumile. Bonke badla, baphuza, bajabula. Kwabe sekungena indodakazi kaHerodiya yabadansela. Bonke bawuthanda umdanso wayo kangangokuba iNkosi uHerode yafisa ukuyipha isipho esikhethekile. Yathi kuyo: “Noma yini oyicelayo kimi, ngizokunika yona, kuze kube yingxenye yombuso wami.”\nYayizocelani-ke? Yayizocela imali? izingubo ezinhle? isigodlo okuzoba esayo? Le ntombazane yayingazi ukuthi iceleni. Ngakho yaya kumama wayo, uHerodiya, yathi: “Ngiceleni?”\nUHerodiya wayemzonda kakhulu uJohane uMbhapathizi. Ngakho wathi indodakazi yakhe mayicele ikhanda likaJohane. Le ntombazane yaphindela enkosini yathi: “Ngifuna unginike khona manje ngoqwembe ikhanda likaJohane uMbhapathizi.”\nINkosi uHerode yayingafuni ukumbulala uJohane ngoba yayazi ukuthi uyindoda elungile. Kodwa uHerode wayenze isithembiso, futhi wayesaba loko abantu ababesephathini ababengase bakucabange uma eshintsha umqondo. Ngakho wathuma umuntu ejele ukuba ayonquma ikhanda likaJohane. Washeshe wabuya lo muntu. Wayephethe ikhanda likaJohane ngoqwembe, walinika intombazane. Yona yalinika umama wayo.—Marku 6:17-29.\nEnye iphathi yokugubha usuku lokuzalwa iBhayibheli elisitshela ngayo yayizifanela nje nale. Kwakungeyenkosi yaseGibhithe. Nakule phathi, inkosi yathi makunqunywe ikhanda lomunye umuntu. Kwathi selinqunyiwe, yamlengisa ukuze adliwe izinyoni! (Genesise 40:19-22) Ucabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu wawathanda la maphathi amabili?— Wawungathanda yini wena ukuya kuwo?—\nKwenzekani ngephathi yosuku lokuzalwa kukaHerode?\nSiyazi ukuthi zonke izinto eziseBhayibhelini zinenjongo. Likhuluma ngamaphathi ezinsuku zokuzalwa amabili nje vo. Futhi kuwo womabili kwenziwa izinto ezimbi. Ucabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu usitshelani-ke ngamaphathi ezinsuku zokuzalwa? Ingabe uNkulunkulu uyafuna sigubhe izinsuku zokuzalwa?—\nKuyiqiniso ukuthi emaphathini ezinsuku zokuzalwa namuhla, akunqunywa khanda lamuntu. Kodwa indaba yokugubha izinsuku zokuzalwa yaqalwa abantu ababengamkhulekeli uNkulunkulu weqiniso. Mayelana namaphathi okugubha izinsuku zokuzalwa elikhuluma ngawo iBhayibheli, enye incwadi ithi: “Yizoni kuphela . . . ezenza amaphathi amakhulu ngosuku ezazalwa ngalo.” (I-Catholic Encyclopedia) Siyafuna yini thina ukuba njengazo?—\nUMfundisi Omkhulu yena? Walugubha yini usuku lokuzalwa kwakhe?— Cha, iBhayibheli alisho lutho ngephathi yosuku lokuzalwa kukaJesu. Eqinisweni nje abalandeli bokuqala bakaJesu abazange balugubhe usuku lokuzalwa kwakhe. Uyazi ukuthi kungani abantu babuye bakhetha ukugubha usuku lokuzalwa kukaJesu ngo-December 25?—\nEnye incwadi ithi lolu suku lwakhethwa ngoba “amaRoma kakade ayesegubha ngalo uMkhosi kaSaturn, egubha usuku lokuzalwa kwelanga.” (I-World Book Encyclopedia) Siyabona-ke ukuthi abantu bakhetha ukugubha usuku lokuzalwa kukaJesu ngosuku olwaluyiholidi lamaqaba!\nUyazi ukuthi kungani kungelona iqiniso ukuthi uJesu wazalwa ngo-December?— Kungoba iBhayibheli lithi ngesikhathi uJesu ezalwa, abelusi babesesemadlelweni ebusuku. (Luka 2:8-12) Futhi kwakungeke kwenzeke babe sendle ebusuku ngoba endaweni uJesu azalelwa kuyo kuyabanda futhi liyana ngo-December.\nKungani kungelona iqiniso ukuthi uJesu wazalwa ngo-December 25?\nAbantu abaningi bayazi ukuthi uJesu akazalwanga ngoKhisimusi. Bayazi nokuthi ngalolo suku amaqaba ayenephathi engamjabulisi uNkulunkulu. Kodwa abaningi bayawugubha uKhisimusi noma kunjalo. Bona nje basuke bezifunela ukwenza iphathi, abanandaba nokuthi yini uNkulunkulu ayicabangayo ngempela ngaleyo phathi. Kodwa thina sifuna ukujabulisa uJehova, angithi?—\nNgakho uma senza amaphathi, siyofuna ukuqiniseka ukuthi uJehova uyawavumela. Singawenza noma nini phakathi nonyaka. Akudingeki size silinde usuku oluthile. Singadla ukudla okumnandi futhi sidlale. Ungathanda ukwenza iphathi enjalo?— Mhlawumbe ungaxoxa nabazali bakho bakusize nihlele ukwenza iphathi. Kungaba mnandi, angithi?— Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba uhlele ukwenza iphathi, kufanele uqiniseke ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyayivumela.\nSingaqiniseka kanjani ukuthi amaphathi ethu ayamjabulisa uNkulunkulu?\nUkubaluleka kokwenza izinto ezivunyelwa uNkulunkulu ngaso sonke isikhathi kuboniswe nasencwadini yezAga 12:2; Johane 8:29; Roma 12:2; nakweyoku-1 Johane 3:22.\nThumelela Thumelela Ingabe Wonke Amaphathi Ayamjabulisa UNkulunkulu?\nKungani OFakazi BakaJehova Bengazigubhi Izinsuku Zokuzalwa?\nKubulawa Umuntu Emcimbini Wosuku Lokuzalwa
