“Nijamelane noSathana, uzanibaleka.”—KAJAKOBOSI 4:7.\n1, 2. Bobani abathatjiswa kubona ababhabhadiswako?\nNENGABE sewukhonze uJehova iimnyaka eminengi, sewuzwe iinkulumo ezinengi zokubhabhadiswa emihlanganweni yethu emincani nemikhulu. Nokho, kungakhathaliseki bona ube khona kanengi kangangani ezenzakalweni ezinje, kungenzeka usakghwatheka isikhathi ngasinye newubona abahlezi phambili basikima balungele ukubhabhadiswa. Ngesikhatheso, kuzwakala ithabo elikhulu kilabo abalaleleko, lilandelwe kuwahlwa kwezandla okukhulu. Amehlwakho angazala iinyembezi njengombana ubona isiqubuthu sabantu esiligugu esikhethe ihlangothi lakaJehova. Qala bona siba nethabo elingangani ngeenkhathi ezinjalo!\n2 Njengombana sibona ukubhabhadiswa iinkhathi ezimbalwa endaweni yekhethu, iingilozi zinelungelo lokukubona iinkhathi ezinengana. Ungacabanga bona kuba “ithabo elikhulu ezulwini” njengombana zibona iinkulungwana zabantu ngabanye ephasini loke zingezeleleka ehlanganweni kaJehova iveke neveke. (Luka 15:7, 10) Akunakuzaza, iingilozi zikuthabela khulu ukubona ukwandokhu!—Hagayi 2:7.\nUDEVELI “UTJHAGALA HLANGANA NANI NJENGENGWENYAMA EBHODLAKO”\n3. Kubayini uSathana atjhagala “njengengwenyama ebhodlako,” begodu ufuna ukwenzani?\n3 Nokho, ngokuhlukileko, kuneembunjwa zomoya ezibukele ukubhabhadisokhu ngokukwata okukhulu. USathana namadimoni, kuyabakghabhudlhla ukubona iinkulungwana zitjhiya iphasi elonakelekweli. Ngaphezu kwakho koke, uSathana wakghantjha ngokobana athi akunabantu abakhonza uJehova ngokuzithandela begodu wathi akukho namunye ozokuhlala athembekile nekalingwa iinkhathi ezinengana. (Funda UJobhi 2:4, 5) Ngaso soke isikhathi nekunomuntu ozinikela kuJehova, uSathana ubonakaliswa amleyimala. Kuba ngasuthi uSathana utlajwa ngeenkulungwana zeempama ebusweni qobe veke yomnyaka. Akusirari-ke bona “utjhagala hlangana nani njengengwenyama ebhodlako, efuna ezomudla.” (1 KaPitrosi 5:8) ‘Ingwenyama’ le ifuna ukusigomojela ngokomoya, isibangele bona silimaze namtjhana siqede ubuhlobo bethu noZimu.—AmaRhalani 7:1, 2; 2 KuThimothi 3:12.\nQobe nekuba nomuntu ozinikela kuJehova begodu abhabhadiswe, uSathana uvezwa amleyimala\n4, 5. (a) UJehova uwulinganisele ngaziphi iindlela eembili eziqakathekileko umthelela kaSathana? (b) Khuyini umKrestu weqiniso angaqiniseka ngayo?\n4 Namtjhana siqalene nenaba eliyingozi, asinabanga lokuphelelwa mamandla ngokusaba. Kubayini kunjalo? Ngombana uJehova uwalinganisele ngeendlela eembili eziqakathekileko amandla ‘wengwenyama ebhodlako.’ Ngiziphi? Kokuthoma, uJehova wathi “isiqubuthu esikhulu” samaKrestu weqiniso sizokuphuluka “ekutlhageni okukhulu” okuzako. (ISambulo 7:9, 14) Iimporofido zakaZimu akwenzeki zingazaliseki. Ngalokho, ngitjho noSathana ngokwakhe uyazi bona angeze abadukisa boke abantu bakaZimu.\n5 Indlela yesibili ibonakalaliswa liqiniso elisisekelo elakhulunywa ngomunye wabantu bakaZimu bekadeni abathembekileko. Umporofidi u-Azariya wathi eKosini u-Asa: “UJehova unani nengabe kwaphela nina niba naye.” (2 IMilando 15:2; funda 1 KwebeKorinte 10:13) Iimbonelo ezinengi ezitloliweko zitjengisa bona esikhathini esidlulileko, uSathana wabhalelwa ukugomojela nanyana ngiyiphi yeenceku zakaZimu ehlala itjhidelene Naye. (KumaHebheru 11:4-40) Namhlanjesi, umKrestu ohlala atjhidelene noZimu angakwazi ukuphikisa nokuhlula uDeveli. Eqinisweni, iLizwi lakaZimu liyasiqinisekisa: “Nijamelane noSathana, uzanibaleka.”—KaJakobosi 4:7.\n“SIQALENE NEMIMOYA EMIMBI ESEMKHATHINI”\n6. USathana ulwa njani nomKrestu ngamunye?\n6 USathane angekhe ayithumbe ipi engokomfanekiso, kodwana angasihlula ngabanye nengabe silisa ukutjheja. USathana uyazi bona angasigomojela nesinganyefisa ubuhlobo bethu noJehova. USathana ulinga njani ukwenza lokhu? Ngokusisahlela ngamandla, umuntu ngamunye begodu nangobuqili. Akhe sicabangele naka amaqhinga amakhulu kaSathana.\n7. Kubayini uSathana asahlela abantu bakaJehova ngamandla?\n7 Ngokusahlela ngamandla. Umpostoli uJwanisi wathi: “Iphasi loke lisemandleni woKhohlakeleko.” (1 KaJwanisi 5: 19) Amezwi la ayelelisa woke amaKrestu weqiniso. Njengombana uSathana sele agomojele loke iphasi labantu elonakeleko, kwanje angakwazi ukunqophisa ukusahlela kwakhe kilabo abaphumeleleko—abantu bakaJehova. (Mika 4:1; Jwanisi 15:19; ISambulo 12:12, 17) Ukwate uyadlhabhaza ngombana uyazi bona isikhathi sakhe sifitjhani. Ngalokho ungezelele ukugandeleleka. Namhlanje, siqalene nemizamo yakhe yokuqeda ubuhlobo bethu noZimu. Ngikho kwanje, kunanini ngaphambili, [kufuze] “silemuke iinkhathi bona sazi bonyana khuyini okufuze siyenze.”—1 IMilando 12:32.\n8. Bekasitjho ukuthini uPowula nekathi “siqalene” nemimoya emimbi?\n8 Ukulwa nomuntu ngamunye. Umpostoli uPowula wayelelisa amaKrestu: “Siqalene nemimoya emimbi esemkhathini.” (Kwebe-Efesu 6:12) Kubayini uPowula aberegisa ibizo “siqalene”? Kungombana lidlulisa umqondo wokubambana ngeenhluthu, ukulwa nitjhidelene. Nokho, ngokuberegisa ibizweli, uPowula ugandelela bona ngamunye wethu ulwa nemimoya emimbi. Kungakhathaliseki bona siphila enarheni lapho ukukholelwa emimoyeni emimbi kujayeleke khona namtjhana awa, akukafuzi silibale bona nesizinikela kuJehova singena epini engokomfanekiso. Okunganani, kusukela ekuzinikeleni kwethu umKrestu ngamunye ubotjhelwe ekulweni ipi le. Kungalokho uPowula abona kutlhogeka bona akhuthaze amaKrestu we-Efesu iinkhathi eentathu bonyana ‘aqinisele’!—Kwebe-Efesu 6:11, 13, 14.\n9. (a) Kubayini uSathana namadimoni baberegisa ‘amaqhinga’ ahlukahlukeneko? (b) Kubayini uSathana alinga ukonakalisa imicabangwethu, begodu singajamelana njani nemizamakhe? (Qala ibhoksi elithi, “ Atjheje Amaqhinga Kasathana!”) (c) Ngimaphi amaqhinga esizowacabangela kwanjesi?\n9 Amaqhinga. UPowula wayala amaKrestu bona aqine ekujamelaneni ‘namaqhinga’ kaSathana. Tjheja bona uPowula uberegisa ubunengi. Imimoya emimbi ayiberegisi iqhinga linye kodwana amanengi—begodu ngamabanga amahle. Ngokukhamba kwesikhathi, amanye amakholwa akhe aqinisela ukujamelana nehlobo elinye lokulingwa, aliselela nekaqalene nokunye ukulingwa. Nokho, uDeveli namadimoni bakuqalele eduze ukuziphatha komunye nomunye wethu bona bakghone ukubona ukubogaboga kwethu. Ngalokho-ke baberegisa nanyana ngikuphi ukubogaboga okungokomoya esinakho. Nokho, siyathaba ngombana singakghona ukubona iindlela ezinengi zakaDeveli, ezivezwe eBhayibhilini. (2 KwebeKorinte 2:11) Ngaphambili encwadini le, sihlathulule amaqhinga anjalo njengesithiyo sezinto eziqalekako, ukuzihlanganisa nabantu abambi nokuziphatha kumbi ngokomseme. Akhe sicabangele elinye lamaqhinga kaSathana—ukuberegelana nemimoya.\nUKUBEREGELANA NEMIMOYA—SISENZO SOKUNGATHEMBEKI\n10. (a) Khuyini ukuberegelana nemimoya? (b) UJehova ukuqala njani ukuberegelana nemimoya, begodu wena ukuqala njani?\n10 Ngokuberegelana nemimoya nofana amadimoni, umuntu uthintana nemimoya emimbi ngokunqophileko. Ukuthukula, ubuloyi, ukwenza imilingo nokubuza kwabafileko kungezinye iindlela zokuberegelana nemimoya. Njengombana sazi, uJehova uqala ukuberegelana nemimoya “njengento enyenyisako.” (Duteronomi 18:10-12; ISambulo 21:8) Njengombana nathi kufuze ‘sihloye okungakalungi,’ akukavumeleki bona sifune ukuzihlanganisa namandla wemimoya emimbi. (KwebeRoma 12:9) Qala bona kungaba sisenzo sokungathembeki kangangani kuBabethu wezulwini, uJehova!\n11. Kubayini kungaba kuthumba okukhulu ngoSathana nekangasiyenga bona sitjhugulukele ekuberegelaneni nemimoya? Tjengisa.\n11 Nokho, njengombana ukucwila ekuberegelaneni nemimoya kukungathembeki kuJehova, uSathana ufuna ukwenza abanye bethu bona bazihlanganise nayo. Kesinye nesinye isikhathi nekaphumeleleko ukuyenga umKrestu bona atjhugulukele ebudimonini, uSathana vane athumbe ipi ekulu. Kubayini kunjalo? Cabanga ngokumadanisa nakhu: Nengabe isotja liyengwa bona linghale begodu likghaphele amabuthwalo lizibandakanye namabutho wamanaba, umlawuli webutho lamanaba angakareka khulu. Angabukisa ngomkghapheli loyo njengonongorwana, bona azwise umlawuli wangaphambilini webutho lesotjelo ubuhlungu. Ngokufanako, nengabe umKrestu utjhugulukela ekeberegelaneni nemimoya, uzabe akghaphela uJehova ngokuzithandela begodu uzibeka ngaphasi kokulawula kwakaSathana. Cabanga bona kungamthabisa kangangani uSathana ukubukisa ngomkghapheli loyo njengonongorwana wepi! Ukhona kithi ofuna bona uDeveli athumbe? Awa, akekho! Asisibo abakghapheli.\nUBEREGISA IIMBUZO EBANGELA UKUZAZA\n12. Ngiyiphi indlela uSathana ayiberegisako bona ibe nomthelela embonweni wethu wokuberegelana nemimoya?\n12 Nesihloya ukuberegelana nemimoya, uSathana angeze aphumelela ukuyiberegisa kithi. Nokho, uyatjheja bona kufuze atjhentjhe indlela esicabanga ngayo. Njani? Ufuna iindlela ezingararanisa amaKrestu kangangobana amanye angacabanga bona “okuhle kumbi nokumbi kuhle.” (Isaya 5:20) Ukwenza njalo, uSathana kanengi uberegisa enye yeendlela zakhe eziphumelela khulu—uberegisa iimbuzo ebangela ukuzaza.\n13. USathana wayiberegisa njani iimbuzo bona abangele ukuzaza?\n13 Tjheja bona uSathana wayiberegisa njani indlela leyo esikhathini esidlulileko. E-Edeni wabuza u-Efa: “Kuliqiniso bona uZimu uthe ningadli kiyo yoke imithi yesimini na?” Ngesikhathi sakaJobhi phakathi nomhlangano weengilozi ezulwini, uSathana waberegisa umbuzo: “UJobhi umsabela ilize na uZimu?” Nekuthomeni kwekonzo kaJesu ephasini, uSathana walinga uKrestu ngokuthi: “Nengabe uyiNdodana kaZimu, tjela amatje la bona aphenduke abe migadango.” Cabanga—endabeni kaJesu, uSathana wahlekisa ngamezwi uJehova awakhuluma eemvekeni ezisithandathu ngaphambili, athi: “Le yiNdodana yami ethandekako, ngithabe khulu ngayo.”—Genesisi 3:1; Jobhi 1:9; Matewu 3:17; 4:3.\n14. (a) USathana uwaberegise njani amaqhingakhe wokubanga ukuzaza malungana nokuberegelana nemimoya? (b) Khuyini esizoyicabangela nje?\n14 Namhlanjesi, uDeveli uberegisa indlela efanako ngomzamo wokubanga ukuzaza malungana nobumbi bokuberegelana nemimoya. Ngokudanisako, uphumelele ekubangeleni ukuzaza emikhumbulweni wamanye amakholwa. Athoma ukuzaza bona zoke iinhlobo zemimoya zimbi. Eqinisweni, athi, ‘Kunjalo na?’ (2 KwebeKorinte 11:3) Singabarhelebha njani abanjalo bona batjhentjhe ukucabanga kwabo? Singaqiniseka njani bona amaqhinga kaSathana awabi nomthelela kithi? Ukuphendula, akhe sicabangele iindawo eembili zokuphila uSathana azonakalisa ngobuqili ngokuberegisa imimoya. Ngezokuzithabisa nezokulapha.\nUSIZAKALA NGEEMFISO NEENTLHOGO ZETHU\n15. (a) Abanengi eenarheni zeTjhingalanga bakuqala njani ukuberegelana nemimoya? (b) Umbono wephasi wokuberegelana nemimoya ube namuphi umthelela kwamanye amaKrestu?\n15 Imilingo, ubuloyi nokhunye ukuberegelana nemimoya kuthathwa lula, khulu-khulu eenarheni zeTjhingalanga. Amabhayisikobho, iincwadi, iinhlelo zeTV nemidlalo yamakhomphyutha kanengi zitjengisa imikghwa yamadimoni njengento yokudlala, nenganangozi. Amanye amabhayisikobho neencwadi ezinemikghwa edzimelele emilingweni sezibe ngezithandwa khulu kangangobana abazinikele kizo sebahlele iinqhema zabalandeli. Ngokukhanyako, amadimoni aphumelele ekwenzeni bona imilingo ibonakale inganangozi. Umukghwa wokuthatha ukuberegelana nemimoya lula ube nomthelela kumaKrestu? Ukucabanga kwabanye kwakghwatheka. Ngayiphi indlela? Ukwenza isibonelo samambala, ngemva kobana umKrestu othileko abukele ibhayisikobho enemilingo, wathi, “Ngiyibonile ibhayisikobho kodwana akhenge ngihlanganyele ekuberegelaneni nemimoya.” Kubayini ukucabanga okunje kuyingozi?\n16. Kubayini kuyingozi ukukhetha zokuzithabisa ezinokuberegelana nemilingo?\n16 Namtjhana kunomahluko hlangana nokuberegisa imimoya nokuyibukela, lokho akutjho bona ukubukela imilingo akunangozi. Kubayini kunjalo? Cabanga ngalokhu: ILizwi lakaZimu litjengisa bona uSathana namadimonakhe abanakghono lokufunda imicabangwethu. * Ngalokho, njengombana kutjengiswe ngaphambili, ukufumana bona khuyini esiyicabangako nokubona nanyana ngikuphi ukubogaboga ngokomoya okukithi, imimoya emimbi kufuze iqalisise izenzo zethu—kuhlanganise nokukhetha kwethu zokuzithabisa. Ukuziphatha komKrestu nekutjengisa bona uyawathabela amabhayisikobho nofana iincwadi ezinokuberegelana nemimoya, imilingo, izenzo zobudimoni namtjhana ukukhuluma ngawo, uthumela umlayezo emadimonini. Eqinisweni, uwakhombisa lapho abogaboga khona! Ngemva kwalokho, amadimoni angaqinisa ukulwa kwawo nomKrestu loyo aberegise ukubogaboga akuvezileko abe athumbe. Eqinisweni, abanye egade kubanyenyisa ukuberegelana nemimoya ngokukhetha zokuzithabisa ezinemilingo kancani-kancani bahlanganyela ngokunqophileko ekuberegelaneni nemimoya.—Funda KwebeGalatiya 6:7.\nZuza ekusekelweni nguJehova ngeenkhathi zokugula\n17. Ngiliphi iqhinga uSathana aliberegisako bona arhelebheke ngabagulako?\n17 USathana akalingi kwaphela ukurhelebheka ngesifiso sethu sokuzithabisa kodwana nangetlhogo yethu yokutlhogomela ipilo. Njani? UmKrestu obogabogako ngepilo ngitjho naphezu kokulinga kanengi ukufumana ipengu angaphelelwa lithemba. (Markosi 5:25, 26) Lokho kunganikela uSathana namadimonakhe ithuba elihle lokurhelebheka ngaye. Bazi kuhle bona iLizwi lakaZimu liyayelelisa ngobumbi bokufuna “irhelebho lalabo abenza okulimazako.” (Isaya 31:2) Bona enze umKrestu angasilaleli isiyelelisweso, amadimoni angalinga ogulako bona ngokuphelelwa lithemba akhethe ukulatjhwa okuhlanganisa ukuberegiswa “kwamandla ararako,” nofana ukuberegisa imimoya—okuyinto elimaza khulu. Nekungenzeka iqhingelo lamadimoni liphumelele, lingabogabogisa ubuhlobo baloyo ogulako noZimu. Kungenzeka njani lokho?\n18. Ngiziphi iindlela zokulapha umKrestu azozala, begodu kubayini?\n18 UJehova wayelelisa ama-Israyeli egade aberegisa “amandla ararako” wathi: “Neniphakamisa izandla zenu ngiyawafihla amehlwami kini. Ngitjho namtjhana nenza imithandazo eminengi, angiyilaleli.” (Isaya 1:13, 15) Liqiniso, sihlale sifuna ukubalekela nanyana yini engavimbela imithandazwethu begodu inciphise ukusekelwa esikufumana kuJehova—khulu-khulu ngeenkhathi zokugula. (AmaRhalani 41:3) Nje-ke nakunamatshwayo wokobana indlela ethileko yokuhlola ubulwelwe nofana ukubulapha ingahlanganisa izinto ezithileko zokuberegelana nemimoya, umKrestu weqiniso kufuze angayamukeli. * (Matewu 6:13) Ngokwenza lokho, angaqiniseka bona uJehova uzokuhlala amsekela.—Qala ibhoksi elithi: “ Kuberegelana Nemimoya Kwamambala?”\nKUBEREGELANA NEMIMOYA KWAMAMBALA?\nIkambisolawulo: “Imisebenzi yomzimba isobala, ngile: . . . kuloya. Abantu baba manaba balwe, . . . baphume iinqhema ngeenqhema. . . . Abenza okunje abazuligoma ilifa lephasi.” —KwebeGalatiya 5:19-21.\nLikhona isiko engilenzako elihlanganiswa neenkolelo zekolo yamala?—2 KwebeKorinte 6:16, 17.\nZikhona izinto engiziberegisako ezihlobene ngokunqophileko nokuberegelana nemimoya?—IZenzo 19:19.\nKukhona ukulatjhwa engikufunako okubandakanya ukuberegiswa kwehlobo elithileko lamandla wemilingo?—Lefitikosi 19:26.\nNEKURHATJHEKA IINDABA ZAMADIMONI\n19. (a) Yini uDeveli akhohlisa abantu abanengi bona bayikholelwe ngamandlakhe? (b) Ngiziphi iindaba amaKrestu weqiniso okufuze angahlanganyeli kizo?\n19 Ngitjho nofana abantu beenarha zangeTjhingalanga babuthatha bulula ubungozi bamandla kaSathana, kwenzeka okuphambeneko kezinye iingcenye zephasi. UDeveli ukhohlise abantu abanengi ngokubenza bacabange bona unamandla amakhulu ukudlula lawo anawo. Abanye abantu baphila, badle, baberege balale basaba imimoya emimbi. Zinengi neendaba ezimalungana nezenzo zamadimoni. Iindaba ezinjalo zivame ukucocwa ngethabo; ziyabakara abantu. Kufuze sihlanganyele ekurhatjheni iindabezo? Awa, kuneenzathu eembili eziqakathekileko ezenza bona iinceku zakaZimu zingakwenzi lokho.\n20. Umuntu angayirhatjha njani, mhlamunye angakanqophi ikulumokhohlisa kaSathana?\n20 Kokuthoma, ngokurhatjha iindaba zokuphumelela kwamadimoni, umuntu uthuthukisa iinkareko zakaSathana. Njani? ILizwi lakaZimu liyavuma bona uSathana uyakwazi ukwenza imisebenzi yamandla, kodwana godu lisiyelelisa bona uberegisa ‘iimangaliso ezimamala’ ‘nekohliso.’ (2 KwebeTesalonika 2:9, 10) Njengombana uSathana amkhohlisi omkhulu, uyakwazi ukuba nomthelela eengqondweni zalabo abatjhigamele ekuberegelaneni nemimoya nokubenza bakholelwe izinto ezimamala. Abanjalo bangakholwa kwamambala bona bezwe bebabona izinto ezithileko begodu bangacoca okubenzakaleleko njengendaba eyiqiniso. Ngokukhamba kwesikhathi, iindaba zabo ziyathuwelela ngombana zicocwa qobe. Nekungenzeka umKrestu arhatjhe iindaba ezinjalo, eqinisweni uzabe enza intando kaDeveli—‘uyise lamanga.’ Uzabe arhatjha ikulumokhohlisa kaSathana.—Jwanisi 8:44; 2 KuThimothi 2:16.\n21. Sifuna bona iingcoco zethu zidzimelele kuphi?\n21 Kwesibili, ngitjho kungenzeka bona umKrestu khewahlangana kwamambala nemimoya emimbi esikhathini esidlulileko, uzokulisa ukuthabisa akholwa nabo ngokuphindaphinda iindaba ezinjalo. Kubayini? Sikhuthazwa bona: ‘Amehlo wethu siwaqalise kuJesu oMthomisi noMphelelisi wokukholwa kwethu.’ (KumaHebheru 12:2) Iye, sinqophisa ukunaka kwethu kuKrestu, ingasi kuSathana. Kuyabonakala bona ngesikhathi uJesu asephasini, akhenge athabise abafundi bakhe ngeendaba zemimoya emimbi, ngitjho nofana agade angabatjela okunengi ngalokho uSathana angakghona ukukwenza nalokho angekhe akghone ukukwenza. Esikhundleni salokho, uJesu wanamathela emlayezweni woMbuso. Ngalokho-ke, silingisa uJesu nabapostoli, sifuna bona iingcoco zethu zidzimelele ‘eentweni ezikulu uZimu azenzileko.’—IZenzo 2:11; Luka 8:1; KwebeRoma 1:11, 12.\n22. Singaragela njani phambili siba nengcenye ekwenzeni bona kube ‘nethabo ezulwini?’\n22 Kwamambala, uSathana uberegisa amaqhinga amanengi kuhlanganise nokuberegelana nemimoya, bona aphelise ubuhlobo bethu noJehova. Nokho, ngokuhloya okumbi nokunamathela kokulungileko, sidima uDeveli ithuba lokubogabogisa ukuzimisela kwethu ukwala ukuberegelana nemimoya ngayo yoke imihlobo yakho. (Funda Kwebe-Efesu 4:27) Cabanga bona likhulu kangangani ‘ithabo ezulwini’ eliyoba khona nesiragela phambili ‘sijamelana noSathana nasihlaselako ngamaqhinga wakhe’ bekube kulapho angasekho!—Kwebe-Efesu 6:11.\n^ isig. 16 Amabizo ahlathulula uSathana (Mphikisi, Mhlebi, Mkhohlisi, Mlingi, Mleyimala) akatjengisi bona uyakwazi ukuhlola iinhliziyo nemikhumbulwethu. Nokho, ngakelinye ihlangothi, uJehova uhlathululwa njengaloyo “ohlola iinhliziyo” begodu noJesu njengaloyo owazi “imikhumbulo yabo boke.”—Izaga 17:3; ISambulo 2:23.\n^ isig. 18 Ukufumana ilwazi elingezelelekileko, qala isihloko esithi, “Ingabe Ukuxilongwa Kwempilo Yakho Kukulungele?” ku-Nqabayokulinda yaka-December 15, 1994, amakhasi 19-22, nesihloko esithi, “Umbono WeBhayibheli: Ingabe Kunendaba Ukuthi Yikuphi Ukwelashwa Okukhethayo?” ku-Phaphama! yaka-January 8, 2001.\nATJHEJE AMAQHINGA KASATHANA!\nKwanje uSathana isikghoni sokukhohlisa, ‘uphophaze imikhumbulo yabangakholwako’ iimnyaka eziinkulungwana. (2 KwebeKorinte 4:4) Akafuni ukulisa emizamwenakhe yokonakalisa imikhumbulo yabakhulekeli bakaZimu. Kubayini? USathana uyazi bona indlela esicabanga ngayo ithinta izenzo zethu. Uyazi bona nangahlanakela ukucabanga kwethu, angakwazi ukusenzisa izinto ezimbi.—KaJakobosi 1:14, 15.\nKhumbula indlela kaSathana yokudukisa u-Efa. Umpostoli uPowula watlola: “Kodwana nginevadlwana ngani, njengombana inyoka yakhohlisa uEfa ngobuhlakani bayo, nani imikhumbulo yenu ingase ilahlekiswe, nilise ukuzinikela kuKrestu.” (2 KwebeKorinte 11:3) Aberegisa inyoka ehlakaniphileko, uSathana wakhohlisa u-Efa bona alandele indlela eyingozi. Wafuna ukonakalisa umkhumbulwakhe, wafiphaza ukucabanga kwakhe. Iqhingelo laberega. Ngombana walalela, umbonwakhe watjhentjha, lokho egade kungavumeleki kwabonakala kukhanukeka. Nesele umkhumbulwakhe wonakele, kwaba bulula wamodza esonweni.—Genesisi 3:1-6; ISambulo 12:9.\nUSathana akakatjhuguluki. Ikambisolawulwakhe esisekelo isesenjalo: Yonakalisa umkhumbulo bese kulandela izenzo zesono. USathana uberegisa zepolotiki zephaseli, ikolo, zerhwebo nezokuzithabisa ukurhatjha iimfundiso zakhe. (Jwanisi 14:30) Waphumelela ekuphambukiseni ukucabanga kwenengi lesintu, watjhentjha indlela abaziphatha ngayo neembono yabo. Ukuziphatha obekuqalwa njengesono—njengokuthandana kwabantu bobulili obufanako, ukuhlala ndawonye ningakatjhadi, nokubelethwa kwamavezandlebe—kanengi kuqalwa njengokwamukelekako ngitjho nokurhalelekako. Uphumelele kangangani uSathana ekukhohliseni abantu? IBhayibhili ithi: “Iphasi loke lisemandleni woKhohlakeleko.”—1 KaJwanisi 5:19.\nNjengamaKrestu, asikavikeleki eendleleni zakaSathana. (1 KwebeKorinte 10:12) Azi bona isikhathi sakhe sifitjhani, uSathana “uthukuthele uyadlhabhaza” ngokukhethekileko ufuna ukuphambukisa abantu bakaZimu. (ISambulo 12:12) Nengabe asikatjheji, iimfundiso zakaSathana ezisithekileko nabanengi “abalutha abanye” ababeregisako bangonakalisa ukucabanga kwethu basiyengele esonweni.—KuTitosi 1:10.\nIsibonelo, cabangela umbono wephasi ngomtjhado. IBhayibhili ifundisa bona umtjhado ucwengile, unesibopho esingapheliko. (Matewu 19:5, 6, 9) Amabhayisikobho wephaseli neenhlelo zethelevitjhini kanengi ziveza umtjhado njengesivumelwano sesikhatjhana esingaphulwa bulula. NjengamaKrestu, kufuze sitjheje bona iimfundiso zobusathanezi azonakalisi ukucabanga kwethu. Nengabe azilawulwa, umthelela lo ungafiphaza umbonwethu, ungagedlisa isibopho sethu ebalinganini bethu. Nesiqalene nemiraro emtjhadweni, singalingeka bona siqale ngaphandle bonyana sifumane umuntu ozwisisako nozosisekela. Msinyana omunye umuntu—mhlamunye umuntu oberega naye namtjhana okholwa naye—angabonakala aba nokutjhidelana okungokwamazizo nawe. Nengabe sivumela bona kube namazizo wethando, singazifumana sidoseleke esonweni.\nEsinye isibonelo, cabangela umoya wokuzibusa ozele ephasini lakaSathana. Abanengi “banekani, bayazikhakhazisa.” (2 KuThimothi 3:4, NW) Nekungenzeka umoya onjalo wonakalise ukucabanga kwethu, umbono wethu ngokuthobeka nokulalela ungahlanakelwa. Angenwe mumoya lo, umzalwana angadelela isiluleko sabadala. (KumaHebheru 12:5) Udade angathoma ukuzaza ilungiselelo lakaZimu lobuhloko.—1 KwebeKorinte 11:3.\nSingathokoza bona uJehova uyasiyelelisa ngeendlela zakaSathana. (2 KwebeKorinte 2:11) Asizimiseleni bona singavumeli iimfundiso zobusathana zingene ekucabangeni kwethu. Bona sihlale ethandweni lakaZimu, kufuze ‘sitjheje izinto zezulwini.’—KwebeKholose 3:2.

Nawufuna Ukuthatha Iinqunto Ezivuthiweko—Iba Nokukholwa! | IsiThala\n“Kodwana akabawe ngokukholwa, angazazi.”—JAK. 1:6.\nIINGOMA: 81, 70\nKubayini kufuze sihlale sikhumbula ukuthi angeze sakubalekela ukuthatha iinqunto?\nKubayini kungakafuzi abanye abantu basithathele iinqunto?\nKubayini ngezinye iinkhathi kufuze sitjhentjhe iinqunto esele sizithethe?\n1. Yini eyabangela uKhayini ukuthi athathe isiqunto esingakavuthwa, begodu waba yini umphumela walokho?\nUKHAYINI kwafuze akhethe ukuthi yini kuhlekuhle ayifunako bese athathe isiqunto. Kwakufuze akhethe ukuthi kghani uzokuvumela indlela azizwa ngayo imlawule beyimphosele esonweni. Begodu nanyana yini ebekazoyikhetha, bekazakuvuna akutjalileko aqalane nemiphumela yakhona bekayokuhlongakala. Kodwana uKhayini wabhalelwa ukuthatha isiqunto esivuthiweko. Okuzwisa ubuhlungu kukuthi ukuthatha kwakhe isiqunto esingakavuthweso kwabulala umfowabo u-Abela begodu akhenge kuphelele lapho, kodwana godu samenza walahlekelwa buhlobo bakhe noMdali.—Gen. 4:3-16.\n2. Kubayini kuqakathekile ukuthi sizifundise ukuthatha iinqunto ezivuthiweko?\n2 Nathi kufuze sihlale sikhumbula ukuthi nakuziinqunto zona nakanjani sizozithatha. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ziqakathekile namkha awa. Iqiniso kukuthi ezinengi iinqunto esizithathako zingaba nomthelela omkhulu kithi. Yeke kuqakatheke khulu ukuthi sizifundise ukuthatha iinqunto ezivuthiweko, phela ukuthatha iinqunto ezivuthiweko kungasenza siphile kamnandi begodu sibe nokuthula esikhundleni sokuthi siphile ipilo ehlangahlangeneko neqeda amandla.—IzA. 14:8.\n3. (a) Yini engasisiza bona sithathe iinqunto ezivuthiweko? (b) Ngimiphi imibuzo esizokucoca ngayo?\n3 Alo umbuzo ukukuthi yini engasisiza sithathe iinqunto ezivuthiweko? Okuqakatheke khulu okufuze sibe nakho, kukholelwa kuZimu. Singathomi nakancani singabaze ukuthi angasisiza begodu uyafisa ukusisiza sihlakaniphe. Okhunye godu esikutlhogako, kukholwa koke okutjhiwo liliZwi lakaJehova, sikholwe nokuthi indlelakhe yokwenza izinto iphuma phambili. Nakusiseluleko sakhe sona asisakhulumi ngaso, naso siphuma phambili. (Funda uJakopo 1:5-8.) Yeke nasisolo sitjhidela kuJehova begodu sijayelana nokufunda iBhayibheli, angeze besingabaze nakancani ukuthi ungumahluleli olungileko. Okuhle khulu kukuthi ngaphambi kokuthi sithathe isiqunto, into yokuthoma nje esizoyenza kufuna iseluleko eliZwini lakhe. Alo singazifundisa njani ukuthatha iinqunto ezivuthiweko? Inga-kghani akukafuzi sisitjhentjhe isiqunto sethu ngitjho nanyana sibona ukuthi sisidosela phasi?\nANGEZE SAKUBALEKELA UKUTHATHA IINQUNTO\n4. U-Adamu ngisiphi isiqunto okwafuze asithathe, begodu ukuthatha kwakhe isiqunto esingakavuthwa kwaletha miphi imiphumela?\n4 Kusukela kwekuthomeni umuntu adalwa, boke abobaba nabomma kwafuze bathathe iinqunto eziqakathekileko. U-Adamu kwafuze akhethe ukuthi ngubani azomlalela phakathi komDalakhe no-Eva. Abe ayikho enye indlela, nakusiqunto sona bekufuze aphume naso begodu wasithatha. Alo wena ucabangani ngaso? Phela walalela amala awatjelwa mkakhe, begodu lokho kwamenza wathatha isiqunto esamfaka edakeni, ngombana samqothisa ePharadesi, ngokukhamba kwesikhathi wahlongakala. Lokho kwavulela yoke imiraro esiyibona namhlanjesi, nathi sisebuhlungwini nje kungebanga lokobana u-Adamu akhenge athathe isiqunto esivuthiweko.\n5. Kufuze sikuqale njani ukuthatha iinqunto?\n5 Abanye abantu bathi ekuphileni ngathana besingathathi iinqunto, bekuzokuba mnandi khulu. Inga-kghani nawe uzizwa njalo? Nangabe kunjalo, ungalibali ukuthi uJehova akhenge asenza bona sifane namarobotho, phela amarobotho akacabangi yeke ngikho neenqunto angeze azithatha. Thina–ke sihlukile, kazi uJehova usebenzisa iBhayibheli bona asifundise ukuthatha iinqunto ezivuthiweko. Abukho nobucani ubungozi bokuthi uJehova asivumele bona sizithathele iinqunto. Akhesicoce ngananzi iimbonelo ezilandelako.\n6, 7. Ngiziphi iinqunto ama-Israyeli ebekufuze azithathe, begodu yini ebeyikwenza kube budisi ukuthi athathe iinqunto ezivuthiweko? (Qala isithombe esisekuthomeni.)\n6 Ama-Israyeli nasekahlala eNarheni yesiThembiso kwaba nesiqunto esiqakatheke khulu ebekufuze asithathe. Bekufuze akhethe bona azokulotjha uJehova namkha abosingazimu. (Funda uJotjhuwa 24:15.) Isiquntweso singabonakala simamanzi amancani. Iqiniso kukuthi besiqakathekile, ngombana besitjho ukuphila nokufa kiwo. Kodwana ama-Israyeli akhetha ukungamlotjhi uJehova, begodu lokho akwenza abuyelela ngesikhathi sabaKhokheli. Afulathela uJehova akhohlisana wodwa ayokulotjha abosingazimu. (Khok. 2:3, 11-23) Nangesikhathi somphorofidi u-Eliya nakhona kwafuze nakanjani athathe isiqunto. Umphorofidi u-Eliya wabatjela indlebukuzwa ukuthi nakukukhetha khona kufuze bakhethe bona bazokulotjha uJehova namkha usingazimu uBhali na. (1 Kho. 18:21) Okuhle kukuthi u-Eliya wabakhalimela ngendababo yokufaka inyawo ngapha elinye libe ngaphaya. Mhlamunye nawe ungatjho uthi awa mina angibuboni ubudisi esiquntwinesi, ngombana ukulotjha uJehova kuhlala kukuhlakanipha begodu kusiza. Nalapho uzabe uyiphethe khona, ngombana vele akekho umuntu ovuthiweko ongafisa ukulotjha uBhali. Nanyana kunjalo ama-Israyeli lawo ‘bewafuna ukukhamba eendleleni ezimbili nezingafaniko.’ Nokho u-Eliya wahlakanipha, wakhuthaza abantu ukuthi balandele indlela esezingeni eliphezulu yokulotjha, ekungeyakaJehova.\n7 Kodwana yini ebeyithwesa ama-Israyeli ilitje ekutheni angathathi isiqunto esivuthiweko? Kokuthoma, bewangasamkholwa uJehova angasafuni nokulalela ilizwi lakhe. Nelwazi leqiniso namkha ukuhlakanipha kwakaJehova bewanganakho, angasamthembi noJehova. Phela ngathana bewanelwazi bengeze athoma athathe iinqunto ezingakavuthwa. (Rhu. 25:12) Begodu avumela nabanye abantu bona awakhohlise bebawathathele neenqunto. Kazi ama-Israyeli bewakhelene nabantu abangamlotjhi uJehova, yeke abantwabo bakhohlisa ama-Israyeli bawenza bona alandele inengi. UJehova watjho kade ukuthi into enjalo ingenzeka.—Eks. 23:2.\nKULUNGILE NA UKUBAWA ABANYE ABANTU UKUTHI BASITHATHELE IINQUNTO?\n8. Yini esiyifunda kuma-Israyeli nakuziwa endabeni yokuthatha iinqunto?\n8 Kunengi khulu esikufunda eendabeni esisanda ukuzidembezi. Sifundile ukuthi angeze sakubalekela ukuthatha iinqunto, kodwana nasizakuthatha iinqunto ezivuthiweko kufuze sithembele elizwini lakaZimu. Incwadi yebeGalatiya 6:5 ithi: “Ngombana omunye nomunye kufanele athwale umthwalo wakhe.” Yeke asingathomi sibawe abanye abantu bona basithathele iinqunto ngitjho nanyana kungathiwa kwenze njani. Kunokuthi senze njalo, asifundeni ukuthi yini uZimu afuna siyenze.\n9. Ingaba yini ingozi nange sivumela abanye abantu bona basithathele iinqunto?\n9 Ingasikakarela njani ingozi yokubawa abanye abantu ukuthi basithathele iinqunto? Kufuze sihlale sazi ukuthi nasingavumela abangani bethu bona basidose ngeempumulo, lokho kungasenza sithathe iinqunto ezingakavuthwa. (IzA. 1:10, 15) Kodwana kungakhathaliseki ukuthi abanye abantu balinga kangangani ukusigandelela, iqiniso okungakafuzi sililibale ngelokuthi kufuze sisebenzise unembezethu obandulwe liBhayibheli bona usisize endabeni le. Yeke nanyana kunini nasithatha isiqunto, akukafuzi sivumele abanye abantu basithathele iinqunto. Ngombana nakungasinjalo kuzabe kutjho khona ukuthi sesithoma “ukulandela bona.” Yeke nasingakhetha ukulandela abantu, kufuze sazi ukuthi lokho kuzokuba nemiphumela eyingozi.\n10. UPowula walikhalimela ngani ibandla leGalatiya?\n10 Umpostoli uPowula watjela ibandla leGalatiya indlebukuzwa, wabakhalimela ngendaba yokuthi umuntu avumele abanye abantu bamthathele iinqunto. (Funda beGalatiya 4:17.) Phela abanye ebandlenelo bebangena iindaba zabanye abantu bafuna ukubathathela isiqunto sokuthi bangalaleli abapostoli. Bebasithathaphi isibindi sokwenza into enje? Kazi abantwaba bebamarhamaru, banjalo nje bafunana neenkhundla ngaphanangapha. Bebangakathobeki, kungakho bebangalihloniphi ilungelo labafowabo lokuzithathela iinqunto.\n11. Singabasiza njani abanye lokha nabenza iinqunto zabo mathupha?\n11 UPowula wabeka isibonelo esihle khulu endabeni le, walihlonipha ilungelo labafowabo lokuzithathela iinqunto. (Funda 2 Korinte 1:24.) Abadala nabo-ke kufuze balingise uPowula lokha nabeluleka amalunga webandleni ngendaba yeenqunto okufuze bazithathele zona. Kwabo kubakhumbuza ukuthi iBhayibheli lithini bese bayitjhiyele emntwini loyo. Lokho kunengqondo khulu, ngombana umuntu kufuze aqalane nemiphumela yesiqunto azosithatha. Isifundo esiqakathekileko esisifunda endabeni le ngilesi: Kunokuthi sithathele abanye iinqunto, asicoceni nabo ngalokho okutjhiwo liBhayibheli. Bese siphelele lapho, isiqunto ngesabo. Nabathatha isiqunto esivuthiweko, bazabe bazisiza bona. Yeke asihlukaneni nokucabanga ukuthi sinelungelo lokuthathela abafowethu nabodadwethu iinqunto.\nAbadala abanethando basiza abanye bona bafunde ukuzenzela iinqunto (Qala isigaba 11)\nAKUKAFUZI SITHATHE IINQUNTO NGENDLELA ESIZIZWA NGAYO\n12, 13. Kubayini kuyingozi ukuthatha iinqunto nasithukuthele namkha sidanile?\n12 Abantu abanengi bathi: Lalela ihliziywakho. Iqiniso kukuthi ukwenza njalo kuyingozi khulu begodu akukhambisani neBhayibheli. Phela iBhayibheli lithi nasithatha iinqunto akukafuzi silalele iinhliziyo nemizwethu, kazi nasinje sinesono. (IzA. 28:26) Libuye lisitjele nangabantu abalalela iinhliziyo zabo, litjho ukuthi bavuna abakutjalileko. Umraro wakosodiye endabeni le kukuthi, “ihliziyo imkhohlisi ngaphezu kwakho koke begodu yonakele khulu.” (Jor. 3:17; 13:10; 17:9; 1 Kho. 11:9) Alo yini-ke engenzeka kithi nasingavumela iinhliziyo zethu zisidose ngepumulo?\n13 Ihliziyo yinto eqakatheke khulu emKrestwini, phela kufuze sithande uJehova nomakhelwanethu ngazo zoke iinhliziyo zethu. (Mat. 22:37-39) Kungebangelo imiTlolo esesigabeni esidlule kiso iseluleka ngokuthi singathomi sivumele imizwa isilawule beyisenze singacabangi kuhle. Akhuzibuze naku umbuzo, yini engenzeka nange ungathatha iinqunto amaphaphu aphezulu namkha uthukuthele? Nangabe khewasithatha isiqunto uthukuthele, wazi kuhle khulu ukuthi lokho kungabangelani. (IzA. 14:17; 29:22) Ithiwani-ke yokuthatha isiqunto udanile? (Num. 32:6-12; IzA. 24:10) Ungalibali ukuthi iliZwi lakaZimu lithi ‘nasingaba makhoboka emthethweni kaZimu,’ sizokuhlakanipha tle! (Rom. 7:25) Yeke nasingavumela imizwa isilawule nasithatha iinqunto, sizabe sizifaka emrarweni omkhulu.\nKUNINI LAPHO KUFUZE UTJHENTJHE KHONA ISIQUNTO SAKHO?\n14. Sazi njani ukuthi ngasikhathi kuyatlhogeka ukutjhentjha isiqunto?\n14 Soke sifuna ukuthatha iinqunto ezivuthiweko. Kodwana lokho akutjho ukuthi akukafuzi sitjhentjhe iinqunto esele sizithethe. Ngasikhathi kuyatlhogeka bona siqalisise iinqunto esizithetheko, begodu nakutlhogekako sizitjhentjhe. UJehova usibekela isibonelo esihle khulu endabeni le, phela wasitjhugulula isiqunto sakhe ngabantu beNiniva yangemihla kaJona. Kubayini asitjhugulu? “UZimu wabona izenzo zabo, nangendlela baphenduke ngayo ebukhohlakalini babo, wabarhawukela azange asababhubhisa njengombana agade atjhwile.” (Jona 3:10) Yeke uZimu wathi nakabona bonyana nokho abantwaba baphendukile, naye watjhugulula isiqunto sakhe. Koke lokhu kusitjela ukuthi uJehova uthobekile, uhluzekile begodu unezwela. Begodu okukarisa khulu kukuthi akathathi isiqunto ngebanga lokuthi kunento emthukuthelisileko ngesikhatheso namkha ngendlela azizwa ngayo.\n15. Yini engasenza sitjhentjhe isiqunto ebesele sisithethe?\n15 Iqiniso kukuthi kuzokuba nesikhathi ekuphileni lapho kuzokufuze sitjhentjhe khona isiqunto ebesele sisithethe. Lokho kungabangelwa mhlamunye kutjhentjha kwento ethileko ekuphileni kwethu. Phela noJehova naye wazitjhentjha iinqunto zakhe, akwenziswa kutjhentjha kobujamo. (1 Kho. 21:20, 21, 27-29; 2 Kho. 20:1-5) Nathi-ke kungaba nelwazi elitjha elingasenza bona sitjhentjhe iinqunto ebesele sizithethe. Lokho kwenzeka eKosini uDavida, ekuthomeni yafumana ilwazi elinamala phakathi ngomzukulu kaSawula uMefi-Bhotjhethi. Bese kwathi kamva ikosi le yafumana ilwazi leqiniso, yenzani ngemva kwalokho? Yatjhentjha isiqunto ebesele isithethe. (2 Sam. 16:3, 4; 19:24-29) Nathi ngasikhathi kungafuze senze soneso.\n16. (a) Yini enye engasisiza bona sithathe iinqunto ezivuthiweko? (b) Kufuze siziqale njani iinqunto esele sizithethe, begodu kubayini?\n16 IliZwi lakaZimu lisilukela bona singawalazeli nasithatha iinqunto eziqakathekileko. (IzA. 21:5) Yeke kuhle ukuthi ngaphambi kokusithatha isiquntweso, sicabangisise ngaso besifumane nelwazi elinabileko ngendaba leyo, ngombana nasingenza njalo sizokuphumelela. (1 Thes. 5:21) Yeke nehloko yomuzi nayo ngaphambi kokuthi ithathe isiqunto, akukafuzi iwalazele. Kodwana kufuze ithathe isikhathi yenze irhubhululo eBhayibhelini neencwadini zehlangano kaZimu, kungaba kuhle godu nokuthi ibawe imibono yamalunga womndeni. Kukhe kwaba nesikhathi lapho u-Abrahamu angavumelani khona nomkakhe, uZimu wathi u-Abrahamu akenze into etjhiwo mkakhe. (Gen. 21:9-12) Abadala nabo kufuze benze irhubhululo ngaphambi kokuthatha iinqunto. Nabathobekileko begodu bahluzekile angeze basaba ukutjhentjha isiqunto esele basithethe ngombana batjho basaba ukuthi isithunzi sabo sizakwehla. Nakunesiqunto esele basithethe, kodwana babona ukuthi kufuze basitjhentjhe. Kufuze benze njalo, begodu nathi soke ngilokho okufuze sikwenze. Lokho kungenza ibandla libe nokuthula nokuhleleka.—IzE. 6:1-4.\nNAMATHELA ESIQUNTWENI SAKHO\n17. Yini engasenza siphumelele lokha nasithatha iinqunto?\n17 Iinqunto azilingani, kuneziqakatheke khulu kunezinye. Eziqakathekileko akukafuzi siphuphuruzele nasizithathako, ngombana zitlhoga isikhathi, ukucabangisisa besithandaze nangazo. Phela amanye amaKrestu kufuze aqunte ukuthi azokutjhada namkha awa, nakhibe ayatjhada azokutjhada nobani. Esinye isiqunto esitlhoga ukuthi umuntu acabangisise ngaso ngaphambi kokuthi asithathe, kulokha umuntu nakafuna ukulotjha uZimu isikhathi esizeleko. Nakuziwa eendabeni ezinjalo kuqakatheke khulu ukuthi umuntu athembe uJehova, azi nokuthi uzomsiza bona akhethe kuhle. (IzA. 1:5) Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuqakatheke khulu bona sithembele eBhayibhelini, ngokuthi silifunde begodu sithandaze bona sifumane isinqophiso sakaJehova. Nasenze iinqunto ezikhambisana nentandwakhe, uJehova uzosihlomisela ngobuntu obuzosisiza bona siphumelele. Lokha nawuzokuthatha isiqunto esiqakathekileko, kujayele ukuzibuza imibuzo nasi: ‘Isiqunto engisithathakwesi sizokutjengisa na bona ngiyamthanda uJehova? Kghani sizokuletha ukuthula kunye nethabo emndeninami? Sizokutjengisa na ukuthi ngimumuntu okghodlhelelako begodu nobacabangelako abanye abantu?’\n18. Kubayini uJehova alindele bona sizithathele zethu iinqunto?\n18 UJehova akasikateleli bona simthande begodu simlotjhe. Leso-ke siqunto sethu. Khumbula godu bona usinikele ikululeko yokuzikhethela, yeke uyayihlonipha ikululekwethu yokuzikhethela nelungelo lethu lokuqunta bona sizomlotjha namkha awa. (Jotj. 24:15; UMtj. 5:4) Nanyana kunjalo, usalindele bona sinamathele eenquntwini esizithetheko begodu sikhambisane neenqophiso zakhe. Nasikholelwa endleleni kaJehova yokwenza izinto neenkambisweni asinikele zona, singakghona ukuthatha iinqunto ezihlakaniphileko begodu sizokuhlala siqinile kizo zoke iindlela zethu.—Jak. 1:5-8; 4:8.

Uyomnqoba yena nempi yakhe.”’\nUBharaki athi kuDebora: ‘Ngiyohamba uma nawe uhamba nami.’ UDebora uyavuma, kodwa athi kuBharaki: ‘Akuyikuba ngolwakho udumo lokunqoba, ngoba uJehova uyonikela uSisera esandleni sowesifazane.’ Futhi kwenzeka kanjalo.\nUBharaki wehla entabeni iThabori ahlangane nempi kaSisera. Ngokushesha uJehova uletha isikhukhula, amaningi amabutho esitha aminze. USisera uyehla enqoleni yakhe abaleke ngezinyawo.\nNgemva kwesikhathi uSisera ufika etendeni likaJayeli. Uyamngenisa, amnikeze ubisi. Lokhu kuyamezelisa, alale azumeke. UJayeli athathe isikhonkwane setende asifake ekhanda lale ndoda. Kamuva, uma uBharaki eza, umkhombisa uSisera ofile! Ngakho ungabona ukuthi okwashiwo uDebora kwaba yiqiniso.\nEkugcineni neNkosi uJabini iyabulawa, ama-Israyeli abe nokuthula futhi isikhathi esithile.\nAbaHluleli 2:14-22; 4:1-24; 5:1-31.

1 uSamuweli 9 - IsiZulu 1959/1997 (NO) (ZUL59NO) - BibleSA\n1 uSamuweli 91 uSamuwel ... 9\nUJehova uyakhetha uSawule abe yinkosi\n1 Sam. 14:51\nKwakukhona umuntu wakwaBenjamini ogama lakhe lalinguKishi indodana ka-Abiyeli kaSerori kaBekhorati ka-Afiya, indodana yowakwaBenjamini, iqhawe elinamandla. 2Wayenendodana egama layo lalinguSawule, insizwa enhle; kwakungekho muntu omuhle kunaye phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; kusukela emahlombe akhe kuya phezulu wayemude kunabo bonke abantu.\n3Izimbongolo zikaKishi uyise kaSawule zalahleka. UKishi wathi kuSawule indodana yakhe: “Thatha enye yezinceku, usuke, uye kufuna izimbongolo.” 4Wadabula izintaba zakwa-Efrayimi, wadabula izwe laseShalisha, kepha abazifumananga; base bedabula izwe laseShahalimi, nalapho zazingekho; wadabula izwe labakwaBenjamini, kepha kabazifumana.\n5Sebefikile ezweni laseSufi, uSawule wathi kuyo inceku yakhe eyayinaye: “Woza sibuye, funa ubaba aziyeke izimbongolo, enqene ngathi.”\n6Yathi kuye: “Bheka, kukhona kulo muzi umuntu kaNkulunkulu, umuntu ohloniphekayo; konke akushoyo kuyakwenzeka impela; masiye khona, mhlawumbe angasitshela indlela esihamba ngayo.”\n1 AmaKh. 14:3\nWayesethi uSawule kuyo inceku yakhe: “Kepha bheka, uma siya khona, siyakulethani kulowo muntu na? Ngokuba isinkwa siphelile ezitsheni zethu; akukho nto esingayiyisa kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu; sinani, pho, na?”\n8Inceku yabuye yamphendula uSawule, yathi: “Ngiphethe esandleni sami okwesine kweshekeli* lesiliva; lokhu ngiyakumnika khona lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu ukuba asitshele indlela yethu.” 9\nEndulo kwa-Israyeli, lapho umuntu ebeyakubuza kuNkulunkulu, washo wathi: “Woza siye kumboni;” ngokuba lo othiwa umprofethi manje wabizwa kuqala ngokuthi umboni.\n10USawule wayesethi kuyo inceku yakhe: “Lihle izwi lakho; woza sihambe.” Base beya emzini lapho lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu wayekhona.\n11Besakhuphuka ummango womuzi bafumana amantombazana eyakukha amanzi; bathi kuwo: “Umboni ukhona na?”\n12Abaphendula athi: “Ukhona; nangu ngaphambi kwakho; shesha kodwa, ngokuba ufikile namuhla emzini, lokhu abantu benomhlatshelo namuhla endaweni ephakemeyo; 13ekungeneni kwenu emzini niyakumfumana, engakenyukeli endaweni ephakemeyo ukuyokudla; ngokuba abantu abayikudla engakafiki, lokhu nguye obusisa umhlatshelo, andukuba abamenyiweyo badle. Ngalokho-ke, khuphukani manje, ngokuba niyakumfumana ngalesi sikhathi.”\n14Benyukela emzini; besangena emzini, bheka, uSamuweli waphumela kubo ukuyakwenyukela endaweni ephakemeyo.\n15UJehova wayemambulele uSamuweli ngayizolo, uSawule engakafiki, ethi: 16\n“Kusasa ngalesi sikhathi ngiyakuthuma kuwe umuntu wasezweni lakwaBenjamini; uyakumgcoba abe ngumholi wabantu bami u-Israyeli, asindise abantu bami esandleni samaFilisti, ngokuba ngibonile abantu bami, lokhu ukukhala kwabo kufikile kimi.”\n17USamuweli esembonile uSawule, uJehova wathi kuye: “Nangu umuntu engakhuluma ngaye kuwe, ngathi: ‘Lo uyakubusa abantu bami.’ ”\n18USawule wayesesondela kuSamuweli esangweni, wathi: “Ake ungitshele ukuthi iphi indlu yomboni.”\n19USamuweli wamphendula uSawule, wathi: “Yimi engingumboni; khuphuka phambi kwami, uye endaweni ephakemeyo, ngokuba niyakudla nami namuhla; ekuseni ngiyakukumukisa, ngikutshele konke okusenhliziyweni yakho. 20Izimbongolo zakho esezinezinsuku ezintathu zilahlekile, ungabeki inhliziyo yakho kuzo, ngokuba zitholiwe. Ngokukabani konke okunxanelekayo kwa-Israyeli na? Akusikho okwakho nokwendlu yonke kayihlo na?”\n21USawule waphendula wathi: “Angisiye owakwaBenjamini yini, owesincane sezizwe zakwa-Israyeli, na? Nomndeni wakithi awumncane yini kuyo yonke imindeni yesizwe sakwaBenjamini na? Ukhulumelani kimi ngale ndlela na?”\n22USamuweli wamthatha uSawule nenceku yakhe, wabangenisa endlini yokudlela, wabahlalisa endaweni engumqoka phakathi kwabamenyiweyo, kungathi abangamashumi amathathu. 23USamuweli wathi kumpheki: “Letha isabelo engakunika sona engasho kuwe ngaso ukuthi: Sibeke ngakuwe.”\n24Umpheki waphakamisa umlenze nokwakuphezu kwawo, wawubeka phambi kukaSawule. USamuweli wathi: “Nakhu ohlinzekwe ngakho. Kubeke phambi kwakho, udle, ngokuba kugcinelwe wena kuze kufike lesi sikhathi, njengalokho ngithe ngimemile abantu.” USawule wayesedla noSamuweli ngalolo suku.\n25Sebehlile endaweni ephakemeyo bangena emzini; wakhuluma noSawule ophahleni lwendlu. 26\nBavuka ekuseni; kwathi kusantwela, uSamuweli wabiza uSawule esophahleni lwendlu, wathi: “Vuka ukuba ngikumukise.” Wayesevuka uSawule, baphuma bobabili, baya phandle, yena noSamuweli. 27Besehlela ngasekugcineni komuzi, uSamuweli wathi kuSawule: “Yisho kuyo inceku ukuba idlule phambi kwethu – yadlula-ke – kepha yima wena manje ukuba ngikuzwise izwi likaNkulunkulu.”


Ukuphakama Kobukhosi bamaZulu\nNgonyaka ka-1787, uSenzangakhona, ikosi encani yamaZulu (ibizo layo elivela kwamanye amadodana kaMalandela ekhabe alwa khulu), waba nendodana angakathathi, uShaka. Ngemva kokobana abesebuthweni lakaDingiswayo, lapha ekhabe angelinye lamabutho akhamba phambili ,Ushaka wabayikosi yamaZulu, ngemva kokobana uyise ahlongakale.\nNgeskhatheso amaZulu gade asiqhema esincani sabantu abayi-1,500, lapha uShaka khabe arhuluphele ukudlala indima ekulu ekulu ekuthuthukeni zepolotiki yabo. Ukusukela emadodeni azala isandla, watlama amabutho, ekwathi ngemva kweminyaka eyi-12, watlama amabutho anerhono eliphezulu akhabe sele lifaka phakathi, amajoni wendawo ezibomakhelwani. Ngokwenza njalo, watjhugulula ubukhosi obuncani babasitjhaba esinobukhosi obukhulu.\nNgonyaka ka-1828, uShaka wabulawa nbomnakwabo, uDingane kanye noMhlangana. Ngemva kokobana bararane, abanakwabo ababilaba kanye nabasekeli babo, uDingane bathola isandla esiphezulu bathatha ubukhosi bamaZulu. Udingane khabe anganalo irhono lokudosa amabutho njengoShaka begodu gade anganali nerhono lokuba yikosi, njeke ubukhosi obukhulu ekhabe butlanywe nguShaka bathoma ukuwa. Iinkosi ezinganandlebe zaphuma ngaphasi kwakDingani begodu uDingane khange abe nerhono lokobana azikatelele kobana zibuye.\nLokha amakhuwa nakathoma ukufika eNatali ngobunengi,enza bona kubebudisi khulu ngeskhatheso. Iindunduma ezihlaza utjani zabonwa ma-Voortrekkers (abantu abamhlophe ababalimi ekhabebafuduke esifundeni se-eastern Cape) njengamadlelo ahlaza, babawa uDingane kobana abaphe inarha lapha bangahlala khona balime.\nIkosi yamaZulu yasaba kobana lokhu kuzoba siqunto esizokwenza bona ubukhosi bakhe buwe, begodu gade ano-Piet Retief, okhabe ali-Voortrekker ekhabe lize ukuzokukhulumisana naye, kanye nabakhambisani bakhe wathi ababulawe. Wathumela amabuthwakhe kobana ayokubulala abafazi abentwana kanye namadoda khabe abeke ilihlo ikampa yama-Voortrekker kude le e-Bloukranseduze kwe-Escourt.\nLaba abasindako bafunga kuZimu kobana bazoziphindisela nokobana bazokwakha ikerege bamhloniphe uZimu nange bangathumba lokha nabalwa namaZulu. Ngezi-16 zakaNobayeni ngonyaka ka-1838 emadwalweni womlambo iNcome, eyaphinde yathiywa kobana mlambo wegazi, amakhuwa aziphindisela. Lapha kwabulawa khoma amabutho wamaZulu adlula ku-3000 epini, lokha abanye abadosi phambili bama-Voortrekker balimala kancani.\nUkuhlulwa kangaka kwakaDinganokhu kwamhlazisa ubukhosi bakhe baba namabharasi. Nanyana kunjalo, amabuthwakhe ahlulwa kokugcina lokha uMpande kanye noDingane ekubafowabo egade baseleko ekhabe sele banamabutho aqinileko, bamhlasela endundumeni zeMagongco eduze komgcele weSwazini.\nUDingane ekhabe sele ayikosi ebalekileko enabalandeli abazele isandla, walinga ukubalekela ewazini kodwana wabulwa ngaphambi kokobana afike khona. UMpande, ekwaba yikosi yamaZulu eyabusa isikhathi eside khulu emlandweni wamaZulu, walandela waphatha iskhumba ngemva kokobana uDingane abulawe, wabusa kusukela ngonyaka ka-1840 ukufikela lapha abhubha khona ngonyaka ka-1872.

Lwisana NoSathana UDeveli (Jakopo 4:7)\n‘Lwisanani noDeveli, begodu uzonibalekela.’—JAKOPO 4:7.\n1, 2. Khuyini ekufuze siyizwisise ngoSathana namadimonakhe?\nEPHASINI lakaZimu elitjha koke kuzokukarisa. Ekugcineni sizokhe siphile ngendlela uJehova ebekahlose ngayo. Okwanje siphila ephasini elilawulwa nguSathana namadimonakhe. (2 Korinte 4:4) Nanyana singababoni kodwana sazi kuhle ukuthi bakhona begodu banamandla ararako.\n2 Esihlokwenesi, sizokucoca ngokuthi singatjhidelana njani noJehova sizokwazi ukuvikeleka kuSathana. UJehova usithembisa ukuthi uzosisiza, kodwana kusafuze sizwisise ukuthi uSathana namadimonakhe bawasebenzisa njani amaqhinga ekusihlaseleni.\n3. USathana ufuna ukusenzani?\n3 USathana uthi abantu balotjha uJehova ngebanga lamarhamaru. Abuye athi nange umuntu angagandelelwa budisi ibe yincani indawo, angamtjhiya mhlokho uJehova. (Funda uJobho 2:4, 5.) Ngalokho-ke nange kubakhona umuntu ofuna ukufunda ngoZimu, uSathana namadimoni basuke sebambone kade, bagijimele ukumvimba. Ibanyenyisa khulu indaba yokuthi umuntu akanikele ipilwakhe kuJehova abe abhajadiswe. Ngikho neBhayibheli imfanisa ‘nebhubezi elibhodlako, lifuna umuntu elingamrhiribidela.’ (1 Pitrosi 5:8) Nakuyindaba yetjhebiswano lethu noZimu, akafuni nokuzwa litho ngayo.—IRhubo 7:2, 3; 2 Thimothi 3:12.\nUSathana uyadana nasizinikela kuJehova\n4, 5. (a) USathana ubhalelwa yini? (b) Kutjho ukuthini ‘ukulwisana noDeveli’?\n4 Naphezu kwezintwezi zoke nje, kodwana akukafaneli simesabe uSathana namadimonakhe. Phela uJehova uwabophile amandlabo abasesilinganisweni esithileko. UJehova uthembisa nokuthi “isiqubuthu esikhulu” samaKrestu weqiniso sizokusinda “esizini elikhulu.” (IsAmbulo 7:9, 14) NoDeveli ukwazi kuhle lokho, angeze alinga ukuvimba uJehova ekuvikeleni abantu bakhe.\n5 Nasihlala hlanu kwakaJehova, senza noSathana abhalelwe kulimaza itjhebiswano lethu noZimu. NeliZwi Lakhe liyasiqinisekisa: UJehova “uzakuba nani nanizibandakanya naye.” (2 IinKronike 15:2; funda 1 Korinte 10:13.) Amadoda kunye nabafazi abathembekileko bekadeni, kusukela ku-Abela, u-Inogo, uNowa, uSara noMosi balwisana noDeveli ngokuhlala batjhidelene noJehova. (Hebheru 11:4-40) Nathi singabalingisa abantwaba. IBhayibheli ize ithi: ‘Lwisanani noDeveli, begodu uzonibalekela.’—Jakopo 4:7.\n6. USathana usisahlela njani?\n6 Indaba yokuthi uJehova abophe amandla kaSathana, ayitjho ukuthi uSathana uzokudinwa alise ukunyefisa itjhebiswano lethu noZimu. Bekube kunamhlanje uSathana solo usazama amanwakhe ahlukahlukeneko bonyana asilinge. Amaqhingakhe la awasimatjha, bekasolo awasebenzisa eenkulungwaneni zeminyaka eyadlulako. Alo, amaqhinga lawo ngimaphi?\n7. Yini eyenza uSathana asahlele abantu bakaZimu?\n7 Umpostoli uJwanisi wathi: “Iphasi loke lisemandleni womumbi.” (1 Jwanisi 5:19) Njengombana alilawula nje, ukhanukela thana angalawula nabantu bakaJehova. (Mikha 4:1; Jwanisi 15:19; IsAmbulo 12:12, 17) USathana uyazi nokuthi isikhathi esesimsalele sesisincani khulu, ngalokho-ke wenza koke angakwenza kobana asitjhidise ekuthembekeni kwethu kuZimu. Kesinye isikhathi ukusahlela umqalile, kodwana kanengi okumsebenzela ngcono, kusikhukhuthela.\n8. Khuyini ekufuze itjhejwe maKrestu?\n8 Yebe-Efesu 6:12 ithi: ‘Sikurakurana nemimoya emimbi eendaweni zezulwini.’ UmKrestu omunye nomunye ubambene noDeveli namadimonakhe phezulu itjhumi lezandla. Kufuze sazi ukuthi boke abazinikela kuJehova basemzukuzukwini lo. Encwadini ayitlolela be-Efesu, uPowula wabancenga bekwaba kathathu wathi ‘bajamelane ngokuqinileko’ noSathana.—Efesu 6:11, 13, 14.\n9. USathana namadimonakhe balinga ukusenzani?\n9 USathana namadimonakhe basebenzisa iindlela ezihlukahlukeneko nabasiphambukisako. Ukuthi silwisene nesilingo sakaSathana akutjho ukuthi simhlulile. Phela uDeveli usihlalela phasi asifunde, athi angabona ubuthakathaka bethu, kube kulapho asisahlela khona. Kodwana akukafuzi sizinikele emaqhingenakhe lawo, nganingoba iBhayibheli seyisifundisile ukuthi usebenzisa iinthiyo zomhlobo bani. (2 Korinte 2:11; qala isiPhetho 31.) Esinye seenthiyo zakhe budimoni.\nDLALELA KUDE NAMADIMONI\n10. (a) Buyini ubudimoni? (b) UJehova ubuqala njani ubudimoni?\n10 Ubudimoni buhlanganisa izinto ezikhambisana nemilingo ezenza umuntu azithole sekasebenzelana namadimoni, okuzizinto ezinjengokubikezela ingomuso, ubuloyi, ukuthuwelelisa nokukhuluma nabahlongakeleko. IBhayibheli lisitjela ukuthi ubudimoni ‘businyenyiso’ begodu angeze sazibandakanya nobudimoni kukulapho silotjha uJehova. (Duteronomi 18:10-12; IsAmbulo 21:8) Yeke amaKrestu kufuze abalekele yoke imihlobo yobudimoni.—Roma 12:9.\n11. Ukuthanda imilingo kungasidosela kuphi?\n11 USathana wazi kuhle ukuthi nasithanda zemilingo, kuzokubalula ngaye ukusenza siwele ebudimonini. Yoke imihlobo yobudimoni ingasilahlekisela itjhebiswano lethu noJehova.\nUSATHANA UFUNA UKUSIPHAMBUKISA\n12. USathana angayona njani indlela esicabanga ngayo?\n12 USathana ufuna ukuraranisa indlela abantu abacabanga ngayo. Kancanikancani angasenza sifikelwe kuzaza, bekube kulapho abantu bacabanga ukuthi “ukonakala kulunga, ukulunga kukonakala.” (Isaya 5:20) Uthuthukisa umbono wokuthi iseluleko seBhayibheli asisebenzi begodu singaphila kuhle ngaphandle kweenkambisolawulo zakaZimu.\n13. USathana usenza njani bona sifikelwe kuzaza?\n13 Ukutjala amazizo wokuzaza ngenye yeendlela ezimsebenzela khulu uSathana. Sekuminyaka asebenzisa indlela le. Wathoma ukuyisebenzisa esimini ye-Edeni, ngokubuza u-Eva umbuzo owamenza wafikelwa kuzaza nakathi: “Kuliqiniso bona uZimu unalele ukudla kinanyana ngimuphi umuthi osesivandeni na?” (Genesisi 3:1) Wenza soneso nakuJobho, lokha nakabuza uJehova phambi kweengilozi nakathi: “UJobho wesaba uZimu ngelize na?” (Jobho 1:9) Nangemva kokubhajadiswa kukaJesu, uSathana wamlinga wathi: “Nangabe uyindodana kaZimu, tjela amatje la abe sisikwa.”—Matewu 4:3.\n14. USathana angabenza njani abantu babone ngasuthi ubudimoni bulungile?\n14 Nanamhlanjesi, uDeveli usasenza sifikelwe kuzaza. Wenza abantu babone ngasuthi eminye imihlobo yobudimoni ilungile. Namanye amaKrestu angazithola sekacabanga njalo. (2 Korinte 11:3) Yeke khuyini esingayenza bona sizivikele kuye? Singaqiniseka njani bona asimvumeli asiphambukise? Akhesicoce ngeendawo ezimbili esingazithola sesiphambukiswa nguSathana kizo: kezokuzilibazisa nendleleni yezokwelatjhwa.\nUSATHANA USEBENZISA IIMFISO EZINGOKWEMVELO\n15. Zokuzilibazisa zingasibandakanya njani nobudimoni?\n15 Namhlanjesi amamuvi, amavidiyo, amahlelo we-tv, imidlalo yekhomphyutha ne-Inthanethi, zifaka hlangana ubudimoni, imilingo namandla angaphezu kwemvelo. Inengi libona ngasuthi izintwezi azinabungozi, ziyathabisa kodwana abatjheji ukuthi bazibizela amadimoni. Zinengi iindlela zobudimoni umuntu angazithola sekazisebenzisa njengokufunda iinkwekwezi, ukufunda isandla, nokubhula ngamakarada. UDeveli uyabufihla ubungozi bezintwezi, kunalokho wenza ngasuthi ziyathabisa begodu ziyakarisa. Nomuntu angacabanga ukuthi akusiyingozi ukubukela amahlelo wobudimoni kunokuthi awalandele. Indlela le yokucabanga, kubayini iyingozi?—1 Korinte 10:12.\n16. Kubayini kufuze sale zokuzilibazisa ezinemilingo?\n16 USathana namadimonakhe abakwazi ukufunda imicabangwethu. Kodwana bangakghona ukuyifunda ngalokho esikufisako, esikucabangako, ngeenqunto esizithathela zona nemindenethu nangendlela esikhetha ngayo zokuzilibazisa. Nasikhetha amamuvi, umvumo, iincwadi zeemmoya, imilingo, ukuba mboni, ubuloyi, ama-vemphaya, nokhunye, uSathana namadimonakhe bayakghona ukubona ukuthi sinekareko engangani ngezintwezi. Ngaleyondlela, bangalinga ngamandla ukusifaka ngehloko ebudimonini.—Funda kwebeGalatiya 6:7.\n17. USathana angasisebenzisa njani isifiso sethu sokuba nepilo ehle?\n17 USathana angasibamba godu ngesifiso sethu sokuba nepilo ehle. Abantu abanengi batshwenyeka khulu ngokubogaboga kwepilo. Umuntu angalinga iindlela ezihlukahlukeneko zokulatjhwa kodwana zingabi nomphumela omuhle. (Markosi 5:25, 26) Angazithola aphelelwe maqhinga abe azimisele ukulinga nanyana yini. Kodwana njengamaKrestu, kufuze sitjheje singakhethi zokwelapha ezibandakanya “zemilingo.”—Isaya 1:13, NW.\nNawugulako thembela kuJehova\n18. AmaKrestu kufuze abalekele ziphi iindlela zokwelatjhwa?\n18 Eenkhathini zama-Israyeli, abanye bebasebenzisa “zemilingo.” UJehova wathi kibo: “Lokha nanelula izandla zenu nithandaza, Ngizokuvala amehlwami kini nanyana ningenza imithandazo eminengi kangangani angekhe ngiyilalele.” (Isaya 1:15) Akhese ucabange uJehova bekangekhe ayilalele imithandazwabo. Nasigulako asifuni ukwenza into engonakalisa itjhebiswano lethu noJehova beyimenze angasasisizi. (IRhubo 41:3) Nasikhetha zokwelapha kufuze sicabangisise kuhle ukuthi azihlangani nobudimoni namkha imilingo. (Matewu 6:13) Nange kutholakala ukuthi ziyahlangana kufuze sizibalekele.—Qala isiPhetho 32.\n19. UDeveli ubasabisa ngani abanye?\n19 Abanye abantu bacabanga ukuthi uSathana namadimoni babantu abasuselwa ehloko, kodwana abanye bazi ukuthi bakhona ngebanga lalokho okwabavelelako. Abantu abanengi baphila ngaphasi kwegandelelo lokusaba iimmoya emimbi, begodu baziingqila zabezimu namasiko. Abanye barhatjha ummoya wokusaba amadimoni ngokucocela abanye iindatjana ezenziwa madimoni ebantwini. Abanye bayazithabela iindatjanezi bebafune nokuzitjela abanye. Iindatjanezi kanengi zenza abantu basabe uDeveli.\n20. Singawarhatjha njani amala kaSathana?\n20 Akhucabange ngalokhu, uSathana ufuna abantu bamsabe. (2 Thesalonika 2:9, 10) Umleyimala okwazi ukonakalisa iingqondo zabantu abatjhidelene nobudimoni ngokubenza bakholelwe izinto ezingasiliqiniso. Abantwabo bakghona ukutjela abanye ngezinto abazicabangako, abazibonako nabazizwako. Iindatjanezi nazibuyelelwa qobe ziyathuweleliswa. Asifuni ukusiza uSathana ngokubuyelela iindatjana zobudimoni.—Jwanisi 8:44; 2 Thimothi 2:16.\n21. Kunokucocela abantu ngeendatjana zobudimoni, khuyini esingakhuluma ngayo?\n21 Nange kunomuntu olotjha uJehova okhe wahlangabezana nomraro wamadimoni, akukafuzi abuyelele okwenzekako ngomnqopho wokuhlekisa abanye. Abantu bakaJehova abakutlhogi ukuthuselwa ngezinto ezenziwa nguSathana namadimoni. Kunalokho, kufuze sidzimelele kuJesu nemandleni awanikelwe nguJehova. (Hebheru 12:2) UJesu naye akhange athabise abalandeli bakhe ngokubacocela iindatjana zamadimoni. Wadzimelela emlayezweni womBuso ‘nangezinto ezibabazekako zakaZimu.’—IzEnzo 2:11; Lukasi 8:1; Roma 1:11, 12.\n22. Uzimisele ukwenzani?\n22 Singakhohlwa ukuthi umnqopho kaSathana kuqeda itjhebiswano esinalo noJehova. Uzokwenza nanyana yini bona umnqophwakhe uphumelele. Seseyawazi amaqhinga kaDeveli begodu sizimisele nokulwisana nawo woke amano wamadimoni. Sizimisele ‘ukungamnikeli uDeveli ithuba’ lokunyefisa ukuzimisela kwethu. (Funda kwebe-Efesu 4:27.) Nasilwisana noDeveli sizokuvikeleka emanwenakhe siphephele kuJehova.—Efesu 6:11.\n1 IPHASI LILAWULWA NGUSATHANA\n“Iphasi loke lisemandleni womumbi.”—1 Jwanisi 5:19\nUyini umnqopho kaSathana?\nUSathana ufuna ukusilimaza begodu aqede netjhebiswano esinalo noJehova.\nJobho 2:4, 5\nKuyamnyenyisa ukubona abantu bafunda ngoJehova bebamthande.\n2 UNGAMSABI USATHANA\n“Nje-ke zithobeni kuZimu; kodwana nilwisane noDeveli, begodu uzonibalekela.”—Jakopo 4:7\nKhuyini esenza siqiniseke bona singamhlula uDeveli?\nUJehova ubekele uSathana imikhawulo ezintweni angakghona ukuzenza kithi. Uthembisa nokuthi isiqubuthu esikhulu sizokusinda singene ephasini elitjha.\n2 IinKronike 15:2\nNgokuhlala sitjhidelene noJehova, lokho kuzosisiza ukuthi uSathana angasenzi siphelelwe litjhebiswano lethu noZimu.\n1 Korinte 10:13; Hebheru 11:4-40\nUJehova uthembisa ukusisiza sihlale sithembekile, njengombana asiza abanengi esikhathini esidlulileko.\n3 TJHEJA AMAQHINGA KASATHANA\n“Siyawazi amaqhingakhe.”—2 Korinte 2:11\nUDeveli usebenzisa umhlobobani wamaqhinga?\nJwanisi 15:19; IsAmbulo 12:12, 17\nIphaseli loke nje lilawulwa nguDeveli, kodwana nakubabantu bakaJehova bona bamhlulile, ngikho sihlala sibongazimbi bakhe.\nGenesisi 3:1; Galatiya 5:19-21; Efesu 6:12\nUDeveli usihlalela phasi abone ukuthi kukuphi la sibogaboga khona, ngemva kwalokho asisahlele ngobuthakathakobo.\nLevitikusi 19:26; Isaya 1:13, 15; Markosi 5:25, 26\nSitjheje khulu nasikhetha zokulatjhwa.
