Wasehamba wathatha esandleni sakhe amathalenta* esiliva alitshumi lenhlamvu zegolidec ezizinkulungwane eziyisithupha lezigqoko zokuntshintsha ezilitshumid. 6 Waseletha incwadi enkosini yakoIsrayeli isithi: Khathesi-ke, lapho le incwadi isifikile kuwe, khangela, ngithume kuwe uNamani inceku yami ukuze umphilise kubulephero bakhee. 7 Kwasekusithi inkosi yakoIsrayeli isiyibalile leyoncwadif yadabula izigqoko zayog yathi: NginguNkulunkulu yini ukuthi ngibulale loba ngiphilise, ukuthi lo athumele kimi ukuthi ngiphilise umuntu kubulephero bakheh? Ngakho-ke, ake linanzelele libone ukuthi udinga ithuba lokumelana lamii.\n8 Kwasekusithi lapho uElisha umuntu kaNkulunkulu esizwa ukuthi inkosi yakoIsrayeli idabule izigqoko zayo, wathumela enkosini esithi: Udabuleleni izigqoko zakho? Akeze kimi ukuze azi ukuthi kukhona umprofethi koIsrayelij. 9 Ngakho uNamani weza lamabhiza akhe lenqola yakhe, wema emnyango wendlu kaElisha. 10 UElisha wasethuma isithunywa kuye esithi: Hamba uyegeza kasikhombisa eJordani, inyama yakho izabuyela kuwe, uhlambulukek. 11 Kodwa uNamani wathukuthela, wahamba, wathi: Khangela, bengisithi uzaphuma sibili eze kimi, eme, abize ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe, ahambahambise isandla sakhe phezu kwendawo, aphilise umlephero. 12 IAbana leFaripari imifula yeDamasekol kayingcono yini kulawo wonke amanzi akoIsrayeli? Bengingegeze kiyo ngihlambuluke yini? Wasetshibilika wahamba ngolaka oluvuthayo. 13 Kodwa inceku zakhe zasondela zakhuluma laye zathi: Baba, aluba umprofethi ubekhulume lawe ulutho olukhulu, ubungayikulwenza yini? Pho, kakhulu kangakanani uba ethe kuwe: Geza uhlambulukem? 14 Wasesehla, wazigxamuza eJordani kasikhombisa njengokwelizwi lomuntu kaNkulunkulu, lenyama yakhe yabuyela yafanana lenyama yomntwana omncinyanen, wahlambuluka-keo.\n15 Wasebuyela kumuntu kaNkulunkulu, yena lalo lonke ixuku lakhe, wafika wema phambi kwakhe, wathi: Khangela sengisazi ukuthi kakulaNkulunkulu emhlabeni wonke, ngaphandle kwakoIsrayelip; khathesi-ke ake wemukele isipho1 encekwini yakhoq. 16 Kodwa wathi: Kuphila kukaJehova engimi phambi kwakher, kangiyikuthatha luthos. Wasemncenga ukuthi athathe, kodwa wala. 17 UNamani wasesithi: Uba kungenjalo, akunikwe inceku yakho umthwalo wembongolo ezimbili wenhlabathi. Ngoba inceku yakho kayisayikwenza umnikelo wokutshiswa lomhlatshelo kwabanye onkulunkulu, kodwa eNkosini. 18 Kulinto iNkosi kayithethelele inceku yakho: Nxa inkosi yami ingena endlini kaRimoni ukukhonza laphot, yeyame esandleni sami, lami ngikhonze endlini kaRimoni, lapho ngikhonza endlini kaRimoni, iNkosi ake ithethelele inceku yakho kulintou. 19 Wasesithi kuye: Hamba ngokuthulav. Wasesuka kuye ummango omfitshane.\n20 Kodwa uGehazi inceku kaElisha umuntu kaNkulunkuluw wathi: Khangela, inkosi yami imyekele uNamani umSiriya lo ngokungemukeli esandleni sakhe lokho akulethileyo. Kuphila kukaJehovax, ngizagijima ngimlandele, ngithathe kuye okuthile. 21 UGehazi wasegijima wamlandela uNamani. Kwathi uNamani ebona ogijimayo emva kwakhe, wehla enqoleni ukuze amhlangabezey, wathi: Kulungile yini? 22 Wasesithi: Kulungile. Inkosi yami ingithumile, isithi: Khangela, ngitsho khathesi kufikile kimi amajaha amabili evela entabeni yakoEfrayimiz awamadodana abaprofethia; ake uwanike ithalenta lesiliva lezigqoko ezimbili zokuntshintsha. 23 UNamani wasesithi: Vuma, uthathe amathalenta amabilib. Wasemcindezela, wabophela amathalenta amabilic emigodleni emibili, lezembatho zokuntshintsha ezimbili, wakunika ababili benceku zakhe, bakuthwala phambi kwakhed. 24 Esefike oqaqeni, wakuthatha esandleni sazo, wakubeka endlini; waseyekela amadoda ahamba, asesuka. 25 Yena wasengena wema phambi kwenkosi yakhe; uElisha wasesithi kuye: Uvela ngaphi, Gehazi? Wasesithi: Inceku yakho ibingayanga le lale. 26 Wasesithi kuye: Inhliziyo yami ayihambanga yini lapho lowomuntu etshibilika enqoleni yakhe ukukuhlangabeza? Kuyisikhathi sokwemukela imali yini, lokwemukela izigqoko, lezivande zemihlwathi, lezivini, lezimvu, lezinkabi, lezinceku, lezincekukazi? 27 Ngakho ubulephero bukaNamani buzanamathela kuwe lenzalweni yakho kuze kube nininini.

Kodwa umkakhe lamadodana lamadodakazi akhe babengena iRoma futhi babemphikisa kakhulu ngenxa yokuba nguFakazi kaJehova.\nNgelinye ilanga wathuma enye indodana yakhe okuthiwa nguJohn ukuthi imhambisele incwadi komunye umzalwane. Ngalelolanga uJohn wayezisike umunwe ngesikhathi evula idramu. Ngakho wathatha ilembu wabopha inxeba lakhe wasesiya lapho uyise ayemthume khona.\nUJohn wathi efika endlini yomzalwane lowo wathola umkakhe laye owayenguFakazi kaJehova. Ngesikhathi udade lo esamukela incwadi wananzelela ukuthi uJohn ulimele umunwe. Yikho wathatha ibhokisi elalilemithi lamabhanditshi, wasethatha umuthi wagezisa lesosilonda njalo wasembhanditsha kuhle. Ngemva kwalokho wamenzela inkomitsho yetiye, ngapha emxoxela izindaba ezivela eBhayibhilini.\nNgalesosikhathi uJohn waqalisa ukuncibilika ngoba wayebabandlulula oFakazi. Wabuza izinto ezimbili ayezikholwa kodwa ezazitshiyene lalokho okwakukholwa nguyise. Wambuza ukuthi uJesu unguNkulunkulu yini lokuthi amaKhristu kufanele athandaze kuMariya yini. Udade lo wamphendula esebenzisa iBhayibhili futhi wamnika ibhukwana elithi “This Good News of the Kingdom.”\nUJohn walibala ibhukwana leli futhi wananzelela ukuthi ayekufunda kwakuliqiniso elivela eBhayibhilini. Yikho walanda umphristi wayambuza imibuzo efananayo. Umphristi wacaphuka waze wamjikijela ngeBhayibhili wathi: “UsunguSathane! Ngitshengisa lapho iBhayibhili elitsho khona ukuthi uJesu kasuye Nkulunkulu. Ngitshengisa lalapho elithi akumelanga sikhulekele uMariya. Ngitshengisa masinya!” Lokhu kwamdanisa kakhulu uJohn futhi watshela umphristi wathi, “Angisoze ngiphinde ngilugxobe esontweni yeRoma.” Lakanye kazange aphinde abuyele.\nUJohn waqalisa ukufunda iBhayibhili waze waba nguFakazi kaJehova. Ngokuya kwesikhathi abanye emulini yangakibo labo benza okufananayo. Sekwadlula iminyaka engaba ngu-60 uJohn wazisika umunwe kodwa lakhathesi usawukhumbula umusa awutshengiswayo owamenza wacina esekhonza uNkulunkulu.—2 Khor. 6:4, 6.\nThumeza Thumeza Ukuba Lomusa Kuyanceda

Yini okufuze siqiniseke ngayo? (Qala isithombe esisekuthomeni.)\nNJENGOMBANA khesayithinta esihlokweni esibuya kiso, uDeveli uthi uJehova akakwazi ukubusa abantu begodu uthi abantu nange bangazibusa bangaphila kamnandi khulu. Bekaqinisile na uSathana ngokutjho njalo? Akhesithi abantu abakhetha ukuzibusa bekuthiwa baphila ngokungapheliko, umbuzo kukuthi bebazokuphila kamnandi na ngaphandle kokubuswa nguJehova? Ucabanga bona bekungakuthabisa na, nabe kungathiwa uzibuse begodu uphile ngokungapheliko?\n2 Akekho omunye umuntu ongakuphendulela imibuzo le. Soke kufuze sicabangisise kuhle ngendaba le. Nasenza njalo sizabe sikubeka ebaleni ukuthi ukubusa kwakaZimu ngikho okulungileko begodu kukhamba phambili. Kungebangelo kufuze sikusekele ngeenhliziyo zethu zoke. Nasifuna ukuba nesiqinisekiso sokuthi uJehova ukufanele ukubusa, iBhayibheli ngilo elingasisiza. Akhesithathe ezinye zeembonelo eziseBhayibhelini ezizosiqinisekisa bona uJehova ukufanele ukubusa.\nUJEHOVA UNELUNGELO LOKUBUSA\n3. Kubayini sithi uJehova nguye yedwa onelungelo lokuBusa?\n3 UJehova nguye kwaphela ongaBusa ephasini nezulwini kuhle, sikutjhwiso yini lokho? Sikutjhwiso kukuthi uJehova unguMninimandlawoke begodu unguMdali. (1 Kron. 29:11; IzE. 4:24) IsAmbulo 4:11 sikhuluma ngombono wabakhethiweko abazi-144 000 abazokubusa noKrestu bathi: “Ufanele wena [“Jehova,” NW] Zimethu, ukwamukela idumo, ubukhosi namandla ngombana nguwe owabumba koke begodu koke okukhona kwadalwa ngentando yakho.” UJehova wadala zoke izinto, yeke lokhu kutjho bona unelungelo lokubusa abantu neengilozi.\n4. Kubayini sithi umuntu nakakhetha ukuvukela ukuBusa kwakaJehova vane alisebenzisa kumbi ilungelo lakhe lokukhetha?\n4 USathana abe ayikho nayinye into ayidalileko. Ngebangelo-ke akanalo ngitjho nelincani ilungelo lokubusa ephasini nezulwini. Yeke yena nabatjhadikazi bokuthoma, bese bazikhakhazisa ngento abanganayo nabazakuthoma ukuvukela umBuso kaJehova. (Jor. 10:23) Iye khona njengombana bebanelungelo lokuzikhethela, bekufuze bakhethe bona bafuna ukubuswa nguJehova namkha awa. Kodwana inga-kghani bebanelungelo lokukhetha ukungabuswa nguJehova? Awa! Ilungelo lokuzikhethela lihle khulu, ngombana lisiza abantu abanengi bona bakhethe izinto ezinengi ezihle qobe langa. Nokho lokho akuphi abantu ilungelo lokuvukela uMdalabo noMuphi kuPhila. Yeke umuntu nakakhetha ukujamelana noJehova, uzabe alisebenzisa kumbi ilungelo lakhe lokuzikhethela. Kuyakhanya-ke bona soke thina bantu sitlhoga ukubuswa nokunqotjhiswa nguJehova.\n5. Yini esenza siqiniseke bona iinqunto zakaZimu zikhamba nobulungiswa phakathi?\n5 Ngiliphi elinye ibanga elisenza siqiniseke bona uJehova uyakufanelekela ukuBusa? Ilungelo lakhe lokubusa ulisebenzisa kuhle, ngombana wenza izinto ngobulungisa. Wathi: “[“nginguJehova,” NW] owenza ukwethembeka, ubulungiswa kanye nokulunga ephasini. Iye, ngikho lokho okungijabulisako.” (Jor. 9:24) Akatlhogi ukusizwa mithetho yabantu bona imlemukise ngendaba yokwenza ubulungiswa. Ngombana kuhlekuhle nguye onikela abantu imithetho, phela uJehova yena ngokwakhe ubulungiswa. Kungebangelo iBhayibheli lithi: “Ukulunga nobulungiswa kusisekelo sesihlalo [sakhe] sobukhosi.” Lokho kuyasitjela ukuthi imithethwakhe, iinkambiso neenqunto azithathako zilungile. (Rhu. 89:15, [89:14, NW]; 119:128) USathana wathi uJehova akabusi ngobulungiswa, kodwana naku yena uyabhalelwa ukwenza iphasi bona libe nobulungiswa.\n6. Ngiliphi elinye ibanga elisenza sithi uJehova unelungelo lokubusa iphasi?\n6 Okhunye godu okusenza siqiniseke bona uJehova ukufanele ukuBusa, kukuthi ilwazi nokuhlakanipha kokuthi iphasi nezulu kufuze liphathwe njani kubuzwa kuye. Ngokwesibonelo, uZimu wanikela iNdodanakhe amandla wokulapha amagulo abhalela abodorhodere. (Mat. 4:23, 24; Mar. 5:25-29) KuJehova lokhu bekungasiso isimangaliso. Phela uyazi ukuthi kwenzekani emuntwini begodu unamandla wokulungisa umonakalo. Unawo namandla wokuvusa abantu abahlongakeleko, nokuvikela iinhlekelele zemvelo.\n7. Ukuhlakanipha kwakaJehova kukudlula njani kwephasi elilawulwa nguSathana?\n7 Iphasi elilawulwa nguSathaneli lisesephasi phezulu lifunana nokuthula kodwana uJehova yena unakho ukuhlakanipha bokwenza iphasi loke bona libe nokuthula. (Isa. 2:3, 4; 54:13) Njengombana siragela phambili nokufunda ngelwazi nokuhlakanipha kwakaJehova, sizozizwa njengompostoli uPowula owatlola wathi: “Maye, uzike kangangani umnono wokuhlakanipha kanye nelwazi lakaZimu! Iingwebo zakhe aziphenyeki, neendlela zakhe azilemukeki.”—Rom. 11:33.\nUKUBUSA KWAKAJEHOVA KUKHAMBA PHAMBILI\n8. Yini ekutjhiya ubambe wangenzasi ngendlela uJehova abusa ngayo?\n8 Njengombana sifundile bona iBhayibheli lithi uJehova unelungelo lokubusa. Liyasitjela nokuthi kubayini ukubusa kwakhe kuphuma phambili. Elinye ibanga elenza bona kuphume phambili kukuthi ubusa ngethando. Indlelakhe yokubusa isitjhiya sibambe wangenzasi. Phela uJehova ‘unomusa nesirhawu, ubuthaka ekusilingekeni, uzele ukwethembeka neqiniso.’ (Eks. 34:6) Kazi uZimu uyabahlonipha abantu abamkhulekelako. Indlela asitlhogomela ngayo idlula indlela thina ngokwethu esizitlhogomela ngayo. Ayikho into eyatjhiwo nguDeveli yokuthi uJehova ufihlela abantu bakhe okungcono, mamala lawo! Phela nakhibe bekangasifuneli okungcono, bekangayithumela njani iNdodanakhe bona izosifela ukwenzela bona sifumane ukuphila okungapheliko?—Funda iRhubo 84:11; Roma 8:32.\n9. Sazi njani ukuthi uZimu usithanda soke?\n9 UJehova ubathanda boke abantu bakhe. Ubuye asitjheje soke ngokwalokho esikutlhogako. Akhucabange ngalokho ebekakwenza ekadeni, iminyaka emakhulu emathathu yoke uJehova bekasebenzisa abakhokheli bona asindise abantu bakhe ama-Israyeli. Ngaso sona isikhatheso uJehova bekangatjheji abantu bakhe kwaphela kodwana bekabatjheja nabantu abangasima-Israyeli. Isibonelo salokho nguRute, kazi umma lo wadela izinto ezinengi khulu ngebanga lokuthi bekafuna ukuzinikela ekulotjheni kweqiniso. UJehova wabusisa uRute ngendoda nangendodana. Begodu akupheleli lapho. Phela nakavuswako uzokufunda bona indodanakhe yaba ngukhokho kaMesiya. Akhuqale bona uzokuthaba kangangani nakatjelwa bona umlandwakhe watlolwa eBhayibhelini begodu bewuthiyelelwe ngebizo lakhe!—Rut. 4:13; Mat. 1:5, 16.\n10. Kubayini sithi ukubusa kwakaJehova akugandeleli abantu?\n10 Ukubusa kwakaJehova akugandeleli abantu. Kunalokho ufuna abantu batjhaphuluke begodu bahlale bathabile. (2 Kor. 3:17) UDavida wayibeka bunjesi indaba le: “Iphazimulo nobukhosi kuphambi [kwakaZimu], amandla netokozo kusesigodlweni sakhe.” (1 Kron. 16:7, 27) Nomrhubi u-Etani wathi: “Babusisiwe abantu abazi umkhosi womgidi, labo abakhamba emkhanyweni wobukhona bakho. Ilanga loke bahlokoma ngebizo lakho begodu baphakamisa ukulunga kwakho.”—Rhu. 89:16, 17, [89:15, 16, NW].\n11. Yini engasisiza bona sithuthukise ukuqiniseka kwethu bona ukubusa kwakaJehova kuphuma phambili?\n11 Alo yini engasisiza sithuthukise ukuqiniseka kwethu ukuthi ukubusa kwakaJehova kuphuma phambili? Singasizwa kukuthi qobe sizindle ngendlela uJehova alunge ngayo. Nasenza njalo sizozizwa njengomrhubi owathi: “Ilanga ngesirhodlweni sakho lihle kunamalanga ayikulungwana kenye indawo.” (Rhu. 84:10) Kungenzeka njani lokho? Phela uJehova unguMdalethu, yeke uyazi ukuthi nasizakuthaba yini esiyitlhogako begodu qobe uhlala asipha izinto ezizosithabisa. Kufuze sazi-ke ukuthi nanyana yini asibawa bona siyenze izokuthabisa thina ngitjho nanyana lokho ngasikhathi kungatjho ukuthi kufuze sidele izinto ezithileko.—Funda u-Isaya 48:17.\n12. Yini okufuze isitjhukumisele bona sisekele ukubusa kwakaJehova?\n12 IBhayibheli lithi nakuphela iminyaka eyiKulungwana yokuBusa kwakaKrestu, kukhona abazokuvukela ukubusa kwakaJehova. (IsAm. 20:7, 8) Yini engababangela bona benze njalo? Kazi uDeveli uzabe avulelwe, yeke uzokufuna ukudurhisa abantu abanengi ngombana uzabe asese marhamaru. Mhlamunye angalinga ukwenza abantu bakholelwe ukuthi akutlhogeki bona balalele uJehova nabazakuphila ngokungapheliko ngombana ikhona enye indlela lokhu okungenzeka ngayo. Iqiniso elimsulwa kukuthi uzabe abethe phasi kwathunya ithuli! Kuyatjho-ke bona nathi kufuze sizibuze bona singawakholelwa na amala lawo? Nakhibe silotjha uJehova ngebanga lokuthi ulungile, namkha sithi sizase simlalele ngombana ayikho into esingayenza, kufuze sazi ukuthi nakuyikohliso kaSathana leyo ingasidula phasi. Asingakufisi nakancani ukuzibona siphila ngaphandle kokubuswa nguZimethu olungileko nonethando.\nTHEMBEKA EKUSEKELENI UKUBUSA KWAKAJEHOVA\n13. Ukulingisa kwethu indlela kaZimu yokwenza izinto kukusekela njani ukubusa kwakhe?\n13 Kufanele sisekele ukubusa kwakaJehova ngazo zoke iinhliziyo zethu. Njengombana sifundile unelungelo lokubusa begodu indlelakhe yokubusa iphuma phambili. Alo singakusekela njani ukubusa kwakaJehova? Singakusekela ngokuthi sithembeke ekumlotjheni. Begodu akupheleli lapho, okhunye esingakwenza ukutjengisa bona sisekela ukubusa kwakaJehova kukuthi senze izinto ngendlelakhe. Nasingenza izinto ngendlela kaJehova sizabe sikwenza kukhanye bona siyayithanda indlelakhe yokubusa begodu siyayisekela.—Funda Efesu 5:1, 2.\n14. Iinhloko zemindeni nabadala bangamlingisa njani uJehova?\n14 Sifundile ukuthi iBhayibheli lithi uJehova ubusa ngendlela ehle. Iinhloko zemindeni nabadala abasekela ukubusa kwakaJehova, angeze bagandelele abantu bakaJehova kube ngathi sebamakhosi. Kunokuthi benze njalo, bazokulingisa uJehova. NoPowula naye walingisa uZimu neNdodanakhe. (1 Kor. 11:1) UPowula akhenge ahlambalaze abanye abantu namkha abakatelele bona benze izinto ezilungileko, kodwana wabakhuthaza bona bazenze. (Rom. 12:1; Efe. 4:1; Flm. 8-10) Ngiyo-ke leyo indlela kaJehova yokwenza izinto. Nathi soke esisekela ukubusa kwakhe kufuze senze njalo kubonakale ukuthi siyakuthanda ukubusa kwakaJehova.\n15. Nasilalela isinqophiso sitjengisa njani bona sisekela ukubusa kwakaJehova?\n15 Siyawasekela na amadoda uJehova awakhethe bona adose abantu bakhe phambili? Kufuze sazi ukuthi nasiwasekelako sitjengisa ukuthi siyakusekela ukubusa kwakaJehova. Lokhu kufuze sikwenze ngitjho nanyana singasizwisisi isiqunto esenziweko namkha singakhambisani naso kuhle godu nokobana sihlale sikusekela ukubusa kwakaJehova. Lokho kuhlukile-ke kilokho okwenzeka ephasini, kodwana naziza embusweni kaJehova yikambiswethu-ke leyo. (Efe. 5:22, 23; 6:1-3; Heb. 13:17) Begodu lokho kusisiza thina, phela uZimu usithanda soke ngendlela erarako.\n16. Abantu abasekela ukubusa kwakaZimu bazithatha njani iinqunto?\n16 Okhunye esingatjengisa ngayo ukuthi sisekela ukubusa kwakaJehova yindlela esithatha ngayo iinqunto. UJehova akakasibekeli imithetho kiyo yoke into. Kunokuthi enze njalo, umane wasambulela indlela acabanga ngayo. Ngokwesibonelo, akhenge enze irhelo lezambatho okufuze zimbathwe maKrestu, kunokuthi enze njalo usitjelile ukuthi uthanda bona abakhulekeli bakhe bambathe bebazilungise njani. (1 Thim. 2:9, 10) Godu akafuni ukuthi sikhube abanye abantu ngeenqunto esizithathako. (1 Kor. 10:31-33) Yeke kikho koke esikwenzako asenzeni izinto ngendlela kaJehova ingasi ngendlela esibona ngayo namkha senze ngendlela esiyibona ingcono. Nasenza njalo sizabe sikwenza kukhanye bona siyakuthanda begodu siyakusekela ukubusa kwakaJehova.\nEmtjhadwenakho akhutjengise bona usekela ukubusa kwakaZimu ngeenqunto ozithathako (Qala isigaba 16-18)\n17, 18. Ngiziphi ezinye iindlela amaKrestu atjhadileko atjengisa ngazo bona asekela ukubusa kwakaJehova?\n17 Akhesibone ukuthi amaKrestu atjhadileko wona angazisekela njani iindlela zakaJehova begodu angakusekela njani nokubusa kwakhe. Akhesithi nakho-ke imiraro yemtjhadweni iba minengi khulu kangangobana eminye yayo bewungacabangi nokuthi uzakhe uhlangabezane nayo? Yini ozoyenza nase ubona ukuthi awa umtjhadwakho uyakudisibeza? Okungakusiza kukuthi ucabange ngendlela uJehova aphatha ngayo ama-Israyeli. Kazi uJehova bekaziqala njengendoda etjhade nama-Israyeli wekadeni. (Isa. 54:5; 62:4) Akhuthi uyaqala nje bona lo bekumtjhado obuhlungu kangangani. Kodwana uJehova wawabekezelela. Wasitjengisa umusa iinkhathi ezinengi khulu isitjhabesi begodu wathembeka nesivumelwaneni sakhe naso. (Funda iRhubo 106:43-45.) Ngubani ongathi ithando elinje uJehova analo angeze lamenza wafuna ukutjhidela kuye?\n18 Abantu abatjhadileko nabathanda uJehova, bazomlingisa. Angeze bathi nabasemrarweni bafune ukutlhalana ngendlela iBhayibheli elingayivumeliko. Bayalemuka nokuthi umuntu owabahlanganisako nguJehova begodu ufuna ‘banamathelane.’ Bayakhumbula nokuthi iBhayibheli lithi okukuphela kwesizathu esivunyelwa miTlolo sokutlhalana kulokha omunye umlingani ahlobongile. (Mat. 19:5, 6, 9) AmaKrestu nakenza koke angakwenza bona umtjhadwawo uphumelele, azabe asekela ukubusa kwakaJehova okulungileko.\n19. Yini okufuze siyenze nasitjhaphileko?\n19 Ngebanga lokuthi sinesono, ngasikhathi sizokwenza izinto ezizokudanisa uJehova. Begodu uJehova naye uyakwazi lokhu, kungebangelo aze athumela uKrestu bona azosihlenga. Alo yini-ke thina okufuze siyenze? Nakwenzeka sitjhaphe, asibaweni uJehova asilibalele. (1 Jwa. 2:1, 2) Yeke kunokuthi sisolo sizinyaza besizinghale, asifundeni emitjhaphweni esiyenzileko. Okufuze sikwazi kukuthi nange singahlala sitjhidelene noJehova, uzosilibalela nasitjhaphileko begodu abe asisize bona siphole. Asibandule ukwenzela bona ngesikhathi esizako sikghone ukuphumelela nasiqalene nomraro loyo.—Rhu. 103:3.\n20. Kubayini kufuze sithome khona nje ukusekela ukubusa kwakaJehova?\n20 Ephasini elitjha boke abantu bazokuvuma ukubuswa nguJehova bebafunde neendlela zakhe. (Isa. 11:9) Nakungithi khona sibusiseke khulu ngombana ifundiso leyo sebele sithomile ukuyithola. Nendaba yabantu abavukela ukubusa kwakaJehova nayo iserhelweni lezinto ezizokupheliswa ziphele nya! Lesi-ke sikhathi sokuthi soke sisekele ukubusa kwakaZimu sithembekile, lokho singakwenza ngemisebenzi esiyenzela uZimu nokulinga kwethu ukulingisa uJehova kikho koke esikwenzako.


U-Abrahamu NoSara Bamlalela UZimu | Iimfundo ZeBhayibheli Zabantwana\nEduze neBhabheli bekunedorobho elibizwa bona yi-Uri, begodu abantu balapho bebalotjha abanye abezimu esikhundleni sakaJehova. Kodwana bekunenye indoda ebeyilotjha uJehova endaweni leyo. Ibizo layo bekungu-Abrahamu.\nUJehova wathi ku-Abrahamu: ‘Tjhiya inarhekhenu, abantu bekhenu nendlu kayihlo, uye enarheni engizakutjengisa yona.’ UZimu bewamthembisa wathi: ‘Ngizokwenza ube sisizwe esikhulu, begodu ngizokwenzela abantu abanengi okuhle ngebanga lakho.’\nU-Abrahamu bekangakwazi lapho uJehova amthumela khona, kodwana bekamthemba uJehova. Yeke u-Abrahamu, umkakhe uSara, ubabakhe uTerarhi, nomzukulwakhe uLothi bathatha izinto zabo, balalela uZimu bathoma ikhambo labo elide.\nU-Abrahamu bekaneminyaka ema-75 ubudala nabafika enarheni uJehova abathume kiyo. Beyibizwa ngokuthi yinarha yeKanana. Endaweni leyo, uZimu wenza isithembiso nasi ku-Abrahamu: ‘Inarha le yoke nje, ngizoyinikela isizukulwana sakho.’ Kodwana u-Abrahamu noSara besele babadala begodu banganabantwana. Yeke, uJehova bekazosifeza njani isithembiso sakhe?\n“Ngokukholwa u-Abrahamu walalela, mhlana uZimu . . . athi akafuduke aye enarheni ayomabela yona ibe lilifa lakhe. Wafuduka-ke enarheni yekhabo, wakhamba angazi lapha aya khona.”—Hebheru 11:8\nImibuzo: UJehova wabawa u-Abrahamu bona enzeni? Yini uJehova ayithembisa u-Abrahamu?\nGenesisi 11:29–12:9; IzEnzo 7:2-4; Galatiya 3:6; Hebheru 11:8


Uzenza Njani Izinqumo Zakho? | Isifundo\n“Qedisisani ukuthi intando kaNkulunkulu iyini.”—EFE. 5:17.\nIZINGOMA: 11, 22\nKungani kulendaba ukuthi sikhetha njani?\nSingakwazi njani ukuthi uJehova uthini ngendaba ethile nxa kuyikuthi akulamthetho eBhayibhilini okhuluma ngayo?\nSingayazi njani indlela uJehova acabanga ngayo?\n1. Yiphi eminye imithetho eseBhayibhilini njalo ukuyilalela kusinceda ngani?\nUJEHOVA usinika imithetho eminengi ecacileyo etholakala eLizwini lakhe. Ngokwesibonelo usitshela ukuthi uyakwenyanya ukuziphatha okubi, ukukhonza izithombe, ukuntshontsha kanye lokudakwa. (1 Khor. 6:9, 10) LoJesu Khristu iNdodana yakhe wanika abalandeli bakhe umlayo lo othi: ‘Hambani lenze abafundi ezizweni zonke, libabhaphathize ebizweni likaBaba, leleNdodana lelomoya ongcwele, njalo libafundise ukulalela konke engililaye ngakho. Ngempela ngilani kokuphela, kuze kube sekucineni kwesikhathi.’ (Mat. 28:19, 20) Imithetho kanye lemilayo eseBhayibhilini iyasivikela sibili. Ukuyilalela kwenza siziphathe kuhle, sibe lempilakahle njalo sibe lezimuli ezithokozayo. Okuqakatheke kakhulu yikuthi uJehova uyathokoza njalo asibusise nxa silandela imithetho yakhe zikhathi zonke, okugoqela lomlayo wokutshumayela.\n2, 3. (a) Kungani iBhayibhili lingafaki imithetho kwezinye izinto? (b) Sizaxoxa ngayiphi imibuzo esihlokweni lesi? (Khangela umfanekiso osekuqaliseni.)\n2 Kodwa kulezikhathi lapho okuyabe kungelamthetho endabeni ethile. Ngokwesibonelo eMibhalweni kasitshelwa ukuthi kuyini okumele sikugqoke lokungamelanga sikugqoke. Lokhu kutshengisa njani ukuthi uJehova ulenhlakanipho? Phela amasiko lendlela abantu abagqoka ngayo kuyatshiyana ilizwe ngelizwe njalo kuhlala kuntshintsha zikhathi zonke. Aluba iBhayibhili belilemithetho eminengi ephathelane lokuthi sigqoke njani lokuthi sizilungise njani, sikhuluma nje ngabe kayisasebenzi. Lasezindabeni zokukhetha imisebenzi, izindlela zokwelatshwa kanye lezokuzilibazisa, akulamithetho eminengi esitshela ukuthi senzeni. Ngakho-ke umthwalo wokukhetha ezindabeni lezi usemuntwini ngamunye lakulabo abazinhloko zezimuli.\n3 Kwezinye izikhathi kuyabe kumele senze izinqumo eziqakathekileyo ezingantshintsha ukuphila kwethu. Lokhu sekusitsho yini ukuthi singakhetha loba kuyini singelandaba lokuthi uJehova uthini? Kambe uBaba wethu osezulwini uzakwamukela loba yini esikhetha ukuyenza ingqe nje ingephuli umthetho oseBhayibhilini? Singazenza njani izinqumo ezithokozisa uJehova nxa kungelamithetho eqondane lendaba ethile?\nKULENDABA YINI UKUTHI UKHETHA NJANI?\n4, 5. Kuyini okungenzakala mayelana lezinqumo esizenzayo?\n4 Abanye bacabanga ukuthi bangazenzela loba yini abayifunayo. Kodwa nxa sifuna ukwenza izinqumo ezithokozisa uJehova, kumele sikhangele okutshiwo yimithetho lezimiso eziseLizwini lakhe besesisebenzisa esiyabe sikutholile. Ngokwesibonelo, nxa sifuna ukuhlala singabangane bakaNkulunkulu kumele silalele umthetho wakhe ophathelane legazi. (Gen. 9:4; ImiSeb. 15:28, 29) Okunye okuzasinceda ukuthi senze izinqumo ezithokozisa uJehova yikuthandaza.\n5 Ezinye izinqumo esizenzayo zingaxegisa ukholo lwethu kumbe ziluqinise. Nxa singakhetha kuhle, ubudlelwano bethu loJehova buzahlala bubuhle. Kodwa nxa singakhetha kubi ubungane bethu laye bungaphela. Kanti njalo esikukhethayo kungabaphatha kubi abanye, kuxegise ukholo lwabo kumbe kwenze ukuthi kube lokungazwanani ebandleni. Siyabona-ke ukuthi indlela esikhetha ngayo iqakatheke kakhulu.—Bala uRoma 14:19 loGalathiya 6:7.\n6. Kumele senzeni nxa kuyikuthi akulamthetho oseBhayibhilini ngendaba ethile?\n6 Manje kumele senzeni nxa kuyikuthi akulamthetho oseBhayibhilini ngendaba ethile? Kungaba kuhle ukuthi sihlolisise ngodaba lolo besesikhetha lokho okuzathokozisa uJehova futhi kwenze asibusise, hatshi ukukhangela esikufunayo kuphela.—Bala iHubo 37:5.\nQEDISISA UKUTHI IYINI INTANDO KAJEHOVA\n7. Singakwazi njani okufunwa nguJehova nxa kuyikuthi akulamthetho oseBhayibhilini ositshela ukuthi senzeni?\n7 Pho singakwazi njani okufunwa nguJehova nxa eLizwini lakhe kungelamthetho ositshelayo ukuthi kumele senzeni? U-Efesu 5:17 uthi: “Qedisisani ukuthi intando kaNkulunkulu iyini.” Lanxa ungekho sibili umthetho othile eBhayibhilini, kuqakathekile ukuthi sikwazi ukuthi uJehova yena uthini. Manje singakwazi njani ukuthi ufuna senzeni?\n8. Nika isibonelo esitshengisa ukuthi uJesu wayeqedisisa ukuthi uJehova wayefuna enzeni.\n8 UJesu wayeqedisisa ukuthi uYise wayefuna enzeni. IBhayibhili lisitshela ukuthi uJesu waqala wakhuleka wasenika ixuku labantu ukudla ngendlela eyisimangaliso futhi lokhu wakwenza kabili. (Mat. 14:17-20; 15:34-37) Kodwa ngesikhathi elingwa nguSathane enkangala wala ukuntshintsha amatshe abe yisinkwa lanxa wayefile ngendlala. (Bala uMathewu 4:2-4.) Wayeyizwisisa indlela uYise ayecabanga ngayo yikho wayekwazi ukuthi kwakungamelanga antshintshe amatshe abe yisinkwa. Wakunanzelela ukuthi kwakungasintando kaNkulunkulu ukuba asebenzise amandla ayewaphiwe ukuze enze okwakufunwa nguye. Lokhu kwatshengisa ukuthi wayelethemba lokuthi uJehova uzamqondisa njalo amsekele.\n9, 10. Kuyini okuzasinceda ukuthi senze izinqumo ezinhle? Nika umzekeliso.\n9 Lathi kumele sithembele kuJehova ukuthi asiqondise nxa sifuna ukwenza izinqumo ezinhle. Kumele senze lokho esikutshelwa emazwini la athi: “Themba kuJehova ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, ungathembi okwakho ukuzwisisa; mvume kuzo zonke izindlela zakho, yena uzaqondisa zonke izindlela zakho. Ungazenzi ohlakaniphileyo ngokubona kwakho; yesaba uJehova uxwaye okubi.” (Zaga. 3:5-7) Singayazi kuhle imicabango kaJehova njalo siyisebenzise, kuzakuba lula ukuthi siqedisise lokho afuna sikwenze endabeni ethile. Nxa singazimisela ukufunda okunengi ngemicabango kaJehova sizakwenza izinqumo ezimthokozisayo.—Hez. 11:19.\n10 Nanku umzekeliso: Owesifazana otshadileyo uthenga izinto azifunayo abesebona izicathulo ezinhle ezimthatha umoya. Kodwa izicathulo lezi ziyabiza kakhulu. Uma kancane acabange, ‘Kambe umkami uzakuthini nxa ngingathenga izicathulo ezibiza kangaka?’ Lanxa umkakhe engekho eduze, uyakwazi ukuthi uzakuthini. Ukwazi njani? Ngenxa yokuthi usehlale laye isikhathi eside, usekwazi ukuthi umkakhe ufuna bayisebenzise njani imali abalayo. Lokhu kwenza azwisise ukuthi ukuthenga izicathulo lezo kuzamphatha njani umkakhe. Ngakho-ke, nxa lathi singaqhubeka sijulisa indlela esizwisisa ngayo imicabango kaJehova lezindlela zakhe, sizakwazi akufunayo nxa sekumele senze izinqumo ezintweni ezitshiyeneyo.\nSINGAYAZI NJANI IMICABANGO KAJEHOVA?\n11. Yiphi imibuzo esingazibuza yona nxa sitaditsha iBhayibhili? (Khangela ibhokisi elithi “ Nxa Utaditsha ILizwi LikaNkulunkulu Zibuze.”)\n11 Kumele sikuqakathekise kakhulu ukutaditsha iLizwi likaNkulunkulu ukuze sizwisise indlela acabanga ngayo. Nxa sibala loba sitaditsha iBhayibhili singazibuza umbuzo olandelayo: ‘Engikubalayo kuvezani ngoJehova, ngezindlela zakhe ezilungileyo kanye lendlela acabanga ngayo?’ Kumele sibe njengomhubi owahlabela wathi: “Ngibonisa izindlela zakho, O Jehova, ngifundisa izindlela zakho; ngikhokhela eqinisweni lakho ungifundise ngokuba unguNkulunkulu uMsindisi wami, lethemba lami likuwe izinsuku zonke.” (Hubo. 25:4, 5) Nxa usucabangisisa ngalokho okubalayo zibuze ukuthi: ‘Ngingakusebenzisa njani lokhu emulini yami? Ngingakusebenzisa yini emsebenzini, esikolo loba ekutshumayeleni?’ Ungavele ubone ukuthi ungakusebenzisa ngaphi kuzakuba lula lokuthi ukwazi ukuthi ungakusebenzisa njani.\n12. Kuyini okunye okungasisiza ukuthi siyazi imicabango kaJehova?\n12 Okunye njalo okungasinceda ukuthi siyazi ngcono imicabango kaJehova yikulalela iziqondiso ezisekelwe eBhayibhilini ezivela enhlanganisweni yakhe. Ngokwesibonelo nxa kumele senze isinqumo ngento ethile, i-Watch Tower Publications Index kanye leBhuku Lokuchwayisisa LaboFakazi BakaJehova kungasisiza sikwazi ukuthi uJehova ucabangani. Ukulalelisisa emihlanganweni lokuphendula kanye lokunakana ngalokho esiyabe sikufunda lakho kuzasisiza ukuthi siyazi mhlophe imicabango kaJehova futhi sizame ukumlingisela. Nxa singazisebenzisa izindlela lezi sizayazi intando kaJehova njalo sizakwenelisa lokwenza izinqumo ezinhle ezizamjabulisa.\nVUMELA UKUCABANGA KUKAJEHOVA KUQONDISE INDLELA OKHETHA NGAYO\n13. Nika isibonelo esitshengisa ukuthi ukwazi indlela uJehova acabanga ngayo kungasinceda njani ukuthi sikhethe kuhle.\n13 Ukwazi imicabango kaJehova kungasinceda njani ukuthi sikhethe kuhle? Mhlawumbe ufuna ukuba liphayona lesikhathi sonke. Usuqalisile ukuntshintsha izinto ezinengi empilweni yakho ukuze wenelise ukuyifeza kuhle inkonzo yakho. Kodwa uyazibuza ukuthi uzathokoza yini empilweni njengoba uyabe usulezinto ezilutshwana. IBhayibhili kalilawo umthetho othi kumele siphayone. Singaqhubeka simkhonza uJehova singabamemezeli abathembekileyo. Kodwa uJesu wathi labo abazinikela ukwenza okunengi enkonzweni bazathola izibusiso. (Bala uLukha 18:29, 30.) Kanti njalo iMibhalo iveza lokuthi uJehova uyathokoza ngalabo abazinikela ukwenza imisebenzi yenkonzo. (Hubo. 119:108; 2 Khor. 9:7) Ukunakana ngeMibhalo le kungakunceda ukuthi uzwisise indlela uJehova acabanga ngayo. Ngemva kwalokho ungathandaza kuJehova ukuze akuqondise ukuthi wenze isinqumo azasibusisa.\n14. Ungakwazi njani ukuthi indlela ethile yokugqoka iyamthokozisa yini uJehova?\n14 Nansi esinye isibonelo: Mhlawumbe usuthanda indlela ethile yokugqoka kodwa uyakwazi ukuthi indlela leyo ingabakhuba abanye ebandleni. IBhayibhili kalitsho lutho ngaleyondlela osugqoka ngayo. Manje ungakwazi njani ukuthi uJehova ucabangani ngendaba leyo? Umphostoli uPhawuli wabhala amazwi la: “Abesifazana [kumele] bagqoke ngokuchumileyo, ngokuhle lokufaneleyo, kungabi ngezinwele ezelukiweyo loba igolide loba amangqongqo loba izigqoko ezidulayo, kodwa ngezenzo ezinhle, ezifanele abesifazana abathi bayamkhonza uNkulunkulu.” (1 Tim. 2:9, 10) Isimiso lesi siyasebenza lakubazalwane. Bonke abantu bakaJehova akumelanga baqakathekise okufunwa yibo kuphela kodwa kufanele bacabangisise lokuthi indlela abagqoka ngayo labazilungisa ngayo izabaphatha njani abanye. Ukuthanda abanye kanye lokubahlonipha kuzasenza sitshengise ukuthi silendaba labo lokuthi asifuni ukubakhuba loba ukulimaza umzwangedwa wabo. (1 Khor. 10:23, 24; Flp. 3:17) Ukuhlala sikhumbula ukuthi iMibhalo ithini kungasisiza ukuthi sizwisise indlela uJehova acabanga ngayo ngendaba le futhi senze izinqumo ezizamjabulisa.\n15, 16. (a) UJehova uzwa njani nxa sihlala sicabanga ngokuziphatha okubi kwezemacansini? (b) Singakwazi njani ukuthi yikuphi okumthokozisayo uJehova nxa sikhetha ezokuzilibazisa? (c) Kumele senzeni nxa sifuna ukwenza izinqumo ezinkulu?\n15 IBhayibhili litshengisa ukuthi uJehova uyadana nxa abantu besenza okubi futhi besiba ‘leminakano emibi sonke isikhathi.’ (Bala uGenesisi 6:5, 6.) Lokhu kwenza sibone ukuthi ukuhlala sicabanga ngokuziphatha okubi kwezemacansini kubi ngoba kungabangela ukuthi siwele esonweni futhi senze izinto ezingahambelani lendlela uJehova acabanga ngayo. Umfundi uJakhobe wathi: “Ukuhlakanipha okuvela ezulwini okokuqala kuhlambulukile; besekuthanda ukuthula, kulozwelo, kuyazehlisa, kugcwele isihawu lezithelo ezinhle, kakukhethi njalo kuqotho.” (Jak. 3:17) Umbhalo lo uyasisiza ukuthi siyekele ukuzilibazisa ngezinto ezingabasela imicabango lezinkanuko ezingcolileyo. AmaKhristu aqedisisayo ayakwazi ukuthi kubi ukuzilibazisa ngamabhuku, amafilimu kanye lemidlalo elezinto ezingamthokozisiyo uJehova. Awadingi lokubuza omunye umuntu ngoba ayabe eyazi mhlophe imicabango kaNkulunkulu.\n16 Zinengi izindlela zokwenza izinto ngendlela eqondileyo njalo zonke ziyamjabulisa uJehova. Kodwa nxa sekumele senze isinqumo esikhulu, kuqakathekile ukuthi kwezinye izikhathi siyecela usizo ebadaleni kumbe komunye umKhristu oqinileyo ekukhonzeni. (Tit. 2:3-5; Jak. 5:13-15) Lanxa kunjalo, akuqondanga ukuthi sicele abanye ukuthi basenzele izinqumo. UmKhristu ngamunye kumele afunde ukwahlukanisa okuhle lokubi. (Heb. 5:14) Sonke kumele sikhumbule amazwi kaPhawuli athi: “Lowo lalowo kumele athwale umthwalo wakhe.”—Gal. 6:5.\n17. Kusinceda ngani ukwenza izinqumo ezithokozisa uJehova?\n17 Nxa ungavumela imicabango kaJehova iqondise indlela okhetha ngayo, kuzakuba lula ukuthi usondele kuye. (Jak. 4:8) Kanti njalo uJehova uzathokoza futhi akubusise. Lokhu kuzaluqinisa kakhulu ukholo lwakho. Ngakho-ke kasizimiseleni ukulalela imithetho lezimiso zikaJehova ngoba ukwenza njalo kuyasinceda ukuthi sizwisise imicabango kaNkulunkulu ezindabeni ezitshiyeneyo. Phela kunengi okutsha esisazokufunda ngoJehova. (Jobe. 26:14) Kodwa nxa singazama ngamandla ukufunda ngoJehova khathesi, sizathola ukuhlakanipha, ulwazi kanye lokuqedisisa okuzasisiza ukuthi senze izinqumo ezinhle kakhulu. (Zaga. 2:1-5) Imicabango yabantu lamacebo abo kufanana lezulu eliduma ledlule, kodwa umhubi wathi: “Amacebo kaJehova ami aqinile nini lanini, izinhloso zenhliziyo yakhe kuzo zonke izizukulwane.” (Hubo. 33:11) Sekucaca-ke ukuthi singenelisa ukwenza izinqumo ezinhle nxa indlela esicabanga ngayo kanye lesenza ngayo ihambelana lendlela uNkulunkulu wethu uJehova acabanga ngayo.\nNXA UTADITSHA ILIZWI LIKANKULUNKULU ZIBUZE UKUTHI:\nEngikubalayo kungifundisani ngezindlela zikaJehova ezilungileyo? (Hubo. 25:4)\nNgingakusebenzisa njani lokhu . . .

(a) Yiphi inotho eligugu kakhulu esilayo? (b) Yiziphi izinto esizifundileyo esiziqakathekisa kakhulu njalo kungani ziqakathekile? (Khangela imifanekiso esekuqaliseni.)\nSONKE silezinto esiziqakathekisayo empilweni. Wena kuyini okuqakathekisa ukwedlula konke olakho? Kambe ungavuma yini ukuthi kukulahlekele mahlayana nje?

Elinye igugu esilithanda kakhulu liBhayibhili ngoba yilo elenza senelise ukumazi uBaba wethu osezulwini njalo sibe ngabangane bakhe.—Kol. 1:9, 10.\n2 UJehova unguMfundisi wethu omkhulu futhi usebenzisa iLizwi lakhe iBhayibhili ukuze asifundise izinto ezinengi. Ngokwesibonelo, uyasifundisa ukuthi ibizo lakhe liqakatheke kangakanani njalo uyasichazela ubuntu bakhe obuhle. Usitshela lokuthi uyasithanda kakhulu yikho wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe uJesu ukuze sihlawulelwe izono. Uphinda asifundise ngoMbuso kaMesiya langethemba labagcotshiweyo lokuyaphila ezulwini kanye lokuthi “ezinye izimvu” zizaphila ePharadayisi emhlabeni. (Joh. 10:16) Kanti njalo uyasifundisa ukuthi siziphathe njani. Zonke izinto lezi esizifundileyo siyaziqakathekisa kakhulu ngoba ziyasinceda ukuthi sisondele kuMdali wethu futhi sazi ukuthi siphilelani.\n3. UJehova uyasithengisela yini iqiniso?\n3 UJehova nguNkulunkulu ophanayo. Kasincitshi iqiniso nxa silidinga, yikho waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ukuze sisindiswe. Kasoze athi silibhadalele loba sekutheni. Ngokwesibonelo, enye indoda okwakuthiwa nguSimoni yazama ukunika umphostoli uPhetro imali ifuna ukuthenga amandla okubeka abantu izandla ukuze bathole umoya ongcwele. Kodwa uPhetro wathi kuyo: “Sengathi imali yakho ingabhubha kanye lawe ngokuba ucabanga ukuthi ungasithenga isipho sikaNkulunkulu ngemali!” (ImiSeb. 8:18-20) Pho atshoni amazwi athi: “Thenga iqiniso”?\nKUTSHONI ‘UKUTHENGA’ IQINISO?\n4. Sizaxoxa ngani esihlokweni lesi?\n4 Bala iZaga 23:23. Iqiniso eliseLizwini likaNkulunkulu ngeke siphongulithola nje sigoqe izandla. Kumele sivume ukulahlekelwa yizinto esizithandayo ukuze silithole. Umlobi weZaga wathi nxa ‘singathenga iqiniso’ kumele ‘singalithengisi.’ Ayekutsho yikuthi nxa singalithola kumele silibambe siligagadlele ukuze lingasiphunyuki. Ake sixoxe ngokuthi kutshoni ‘ukuthenga’ iqiniso njalo sibone ukuthi singalithenga ngani. Ukwenza njalo kuzasisiza ukuthi silithande kakhulu futhi sizimisele ‘ukungalithengisi.’ Sizabona lokuthi ukuthenga iqiniso kuqakatheke ukwedlula loba yini engasilahlekela.\n5, 6. (a) Singalithenga njani iqiniso singasebenzisanga imali? Nika umzekeliso. (b) Iqiniso lisinceda ngani?\n5 Lanxa into ingeyamahala akutsho ukuthi ungaphonguyithola nje ungenzanga lutho. Ibala lesiHebheru elihunyutshwe ngokuthi “thenga” elikuZaga 23:23 lingatsho lokuthi “thola.” Wonke amabala la atshengisa ukuthi umuntu kumele enze okuthile kumbe adele izinto alazo ukuze azuze into eqakathekileyo. Nanku umzekeliso ongasinceda ukuthi sikuzwisise ukuthi kutshoni ukuthenga iqiniso: Ake sithi uzwe ukuthi abantu banikwa amabhanana emakethe. Kungenzakala isimanga yini ubone amabhanana la esesendlini yakho ungazange uyewathatha? Hatshi, kumele uhambe emakethe uyewathatha. Lanxa amabhanana la engawamahala, kukhona okuyabe kumele ukwenze ukuze uwathole. Lokuthenga iqiniso kunjalo. Siyakwazi ukuthi iqiniso ngelamahala kodwa kumele senze okuthile ukuze silithole.\n6 Bala u-Isaya 55:1-3. Amazwi kaJehova alotshwa ngu-Isaya ayasicacisela ukuthi kutshoni ukuthenga iqiniso. Emavesini la uJehova ufanisa ilizwi lakhe lamanzi, uchago kanye lewayini. Nxa umuntu owomileyo enganatha amanzi uba lamandla. Lamazwi kaNkulunkulu ayasivuselela sibe lamandla. Uchago lona luyawuqinisa umzimba futhi lwenza abantwana bakhule kuhle. Ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lalo liyasiqinisa njalo lenza sibe ngabangane bakhe. Kanti njalo amazwi kaJehova anjengewayini. Njani? IBhayibhili lithi iwayini lenza umuntu athokoze. (Hubo. 104:15) Yikho nxa uJehova esitshela ukuthi ‘sithenge iwayini,’ uyabe esiqinisekisa ukuthi ukulandela lokho akutshoyo kuzasenza sithokoze. (Hubo. 19:8) Izifaniso lezi zenza sizwisise ukuthi ukufunda iqiniso kanye lokusebenzisa lokho esikufundayo kuyasinceda kakhulu. Ngakho konke esikwenzayo ukuze sithole iqiniso kufanana lokukhipha imali yokulithenga. Kasixoxeni ngezinto ezinhlanu esingathenga ngazo iqiniso.\nKUYINI ESAKUDELAYO UKUZE SITHENGE IQINISO?\n7, 8. (a) Kungani kumele sisebenzise isikhathi sethu ukuze sithenge iqiniso? (b) UMariko wenzani ukuze athenge iqiniso futhi lokho kwamnceda ngani?\n7 Isikhathi. Iqiniso singalithenga ngesikhathi sethu. Kumele sisebenzise isikhathi sethu ukuze sibale iBhayibhili lamabhuku esiwaphiwa yinhlanganiso, silungiselele imihlangano njalo siyingene. Lomuntu otshunyayezwayo kumbe ofundiswa iBhayibhili kumele asebenzise isikhathi sakhe ukuze alalele izindaba ezinhle. Sonke kufanele sitshiye izinto ezingaqakathekanga kangako ukuze sithole isikhathi loba ithuba lokufunda iqiniso. (Bala u-Efesu 5:15, 16.) Pho kuthatha isikhathi esinganani ukuzwisisa izimfundiso zeBhayibhili eziqakathekileyo? Asingeke sitsho ngoba indlela abantu abazwisisa ngayo iyatshiyana. Lanxa kunjalo kumele sikhumbule ukuthi ukufunda akupheli. Ngeke sithi sesiyazi yonke inhlakanipho kaJehova lezindlela zakhe kanye lemisebenzi yakhe. (Rom. 11:33) Phela langesikhathi sesiphila phakade sizaqhubeka sifunda okunengi ngaye. INqabayokulinda yokuqala eyaphuma ngoJuly 1879 yafanisa iqiniso eliseBhayibhilini leluba elihle. Yathi ‘akumelanga sisuthiseke ngokuthola iluba elilodwa kuphela kodwa kumele siqhubeke sidinga ukuze sithole amanengi.’ Ngenxa yani? Yaqhubeka yathi, ‘Ngabe uNkulunkulu ubefuna sithole elilodwa kuphela ubengasoze asinike amanengi.’ Ngakho umuntu ngamunye kumele azibuze ukuthi lunganani ulwazi aselalo. Sonke kasizameni ngamandla wonke ukusebenzisa isikhathi sethu ukuze sithenge iqiniso kungelani lokuthi izimo zethu zinjani. Ake sixoxe ngomunye owesifazana owakwenzayo lokhu.\n8 UMariko * wasuka kibo eJapan waya edolobheni leNew York eMelika esiyafundela umsebenzi. Ngalesosikhathi wayelilunga lenye inkolo eyaqala eJapan ngo-1959. Ngelinye ilanga omunye udadewethu oliphayona wathi etshumayela endlini ngendlu wahlangana loMariko. UMariko wakuthanda kakhulu ayekufunda waze wacela udadewethu ukuthi afunde laye iBhayibhili kabili ngeviki. Lanxa kwakukunengi okwakumele akwenze esikolo lasemsebenzini, wahle waqalisa ukungena imihlangano yebandla. Waphinda watshiya ukwenza ezinye izinto ayezilibazisa ngazo ukuze athole isikhathi sokufunda iqiniso. Ukuzimisela kwakhe ukutshiya izinto azithandayo kwamnceda ukuthi athuthuke masinyane futhi wabhabhathizwa kungakapheli lomnyaka. Ngemva kwezinyanga eziyisithupha nje waqalisa ukuphayona. Kusukela ngo-2006 kuze kube khathesi ulokhu ephayona.\n9, 10. (a) Kuyini okumele sikuqakathekise nxa sesithole iqiniso? (b) UMaria wenzani ukuze athenge iqiniso? (c) UMaria uthini ngesinqumo asenzayo?\n9 Imali lenotho. Abanye batshiye imisebenzi elemali lamathuba okuthola inotho ukuze bathenge iqiniso. Lokhu yikho kanye okwenziwa nguPhetro lo-Andreya ngesikhathi uJesu ebacela ukuthi babe ‘ngabagoli babantu.’ Bahle “batshiya amambule abo” bamlandela. (Mat. 4:18-20) Lanxa kunjalo, ukufunda iqiniso akutsho ukuthi sekumele utshiye umsebenzi ngoba uNkulunkulu ukhangelele ukuthi sisebenze ukuze sinakekele izimuli zethu. (1 Tim. 5:8) Kodwa umuntu osethole iqiniso kaphileli ukudinga imali ngoba uyabe esenanzelela ukuthi kuyini okuqakatheke kakhulu empilweni. UJesu wakucacisa lokhu lapho esithi: “Lingazibutheli inotho emhlabeni . . . Kodwa zibutheleni inotho ezulwini.” (Mat. 6:19, 20) Omunye owesifazana okuthiwa nguMaria wakwenza lokhu.\n10 Waqalisa ukudlala umdlalo we-golf esesemncane kakhulu, engakangeni lesikolo. Waqhubeka esiba yintshantshu emdlalweni lo waze wanikwa ithuba lokuyafunda eyunivesithi mahala. Wayesephilela i-golf ngoba wayezimisele ukuthuthuka aze abe ngumdlali odumileyo. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi waqalisa ukufunda iBhayibhili. Wakuthanda kakhulu ayekufunda njalo waqalisa ukukusebenzisa empilweni yakhe. Uthi: “IBhayibhili lingincede ukuthi ngintshintshe indlela engangiphila ngayo lengangicabanga ngayo futhi lokho kungenza ngithokoze kakhulu.” UMaria wakubona ukuthi ukugijimisa inotho ngapha ekhonza uJehova kwakuzakwenza impilo yakhe ibe nzima. (Mat. 6:24) Yikho wakhetha ukulahlekelwa lithuba lokuba ngumdlali odumileyo elalizamenza athole imali enengi. Ukuthenga iqiniso kwamsiza sibili. Khathesi uyaphayona njalo uyathokoza kakhulu ngoba usekwazi ukuthi uphilelani.\n11. Ukuthenga iqiniso kungenza izihlobo kanye labangane bethu basiphathe njani?\n11 Izihlobo labangane. Ukusebenzisa iqiniso esilifundayo kungenza singazwanani lezihlobo kanye labangane bethu. UJesu wathandazela abalandeli bakhe wathi: “Bangcwelise ngalo iqiniso; ilizwi lakho liliqiniso.” (Joh. 17:17) Ibala elithi “bangcwelise” lingatsho ukuthi “behlukanise.” Yikho amazwi kaJesu atshengisa ukuthi nxa sesithole iqiniso siyabe sesehlukene labantu bomhlaba lo, singasalandeli indlela zabo. Lokhu kungenza bantshintshe indlela abasiphatha ngayo. Lanxa singafuni ukuxabana lezihlobo kanye labangane bethu, abanye babo bangaqalisa ukusizonda kumbe ukuphikisa esikukholwayo. Kodwa lokhu akusimangalisi ngoba uJesu wathi: “Izitha zomuntu zizakuba ngabendlu yakhe.” (Mat. 10:36) Waphinda waveza ukuthi izibusiso esizitholayo nxa singathenga iqiniso zedlula khatshana izinto ezingasilahlekela.—Bala uMakho 10:28-30.\n12. Enye indoda engumJuda yakhetha ukulahlekelwa kuyini ukuze ithenge iqiniso?\n12 Omunye usomabhizimusi ongumJuda okuthiwa ngu-Aaron wakhula etshelwa ukuthi ukubiza ibizo likaNkulunkulu akuqondanga. Lanxa kunjalo wayekufuna sibili ukumazi uNkulunkulu. Ngelinye ilanga omunye uFakazi wamtshengisa ukuthi nxa engafaka onkamisa phakathi kwabongwaqa abane besiHebheru ababumba ibizo likaNkulunkulu, kuphuma ibizo elithi “Jehova.” U-Aaron wathokoza okwamagama, wahle waqonda esinagogeni wayabikela orabi ngalokho ayekutholile. Kodwa abazange bamamukele ngendlela ayeyikhangelele. Kulokuthi labo bathokoze ngokuthi usefunde iqiniso mayelana lebizo likaNkulunkulu, bamkhafulela njalo bamphatha angathi ngumhlamuki. Izihlobo zakhe lazo zasezimninela khatshana. Kodwa waba lesibindi, waqhubeka ethenga iqiniso futhi wakhonza uJehova okwempilo yakhe yonke. Lathi kumele simlingisele u-Aaron, sizimisele ukuqhubeka sihamba eqinisweni kungelani lokuthi izihlobo, abangane kanye labanye emphakathini basiphatha njani.\n13, 14. Yiluphi untshintsho esingalwenza ukuze sithenge iqiniso? Nika isibonelo.\n13 Imicabango engcolileyo lezenzo ezimbi. Nxa sesithole iqiniso futhi sesifuna ukwenza lokho iBhayibhili elikutshoyo, kumele sizimisele ukuntshintsha imicabango lezenzo zethu. UPhetro wabhala ngontshintsho okufanele silwenze, wathi: ‘Njengabantwana abalalelayo lingavumeli [“ukubunjwa,” NW] zinkanuko ezimbi elalilazo lingakazi. Kodwa yibani ngcwele kukho konke elikwenzayo.’ (1 Phet. 1:14, 15) Abantu abanengi ababehlala edolobheni leKhorinte babexhwalile, yikho kwakumele bantshintshe indlela ababephila ngayo ukuze bathenge iqiniso. (1 Khor. 6:9-11) Lalamuhla banengi abatshiye imicabango lezenzo ezimbi ukuze bathenge iqiniso. Abakwenzileyo kuhambelana lamazwi kaPhetro athi: “Selichithe isikhathi esaneleyo ngaphambili lisenza lokho abahedeni abakhetha ukukwenza—impilo yobudlova, inkanuko, lokudakwa, ukuzitika, ukuzivusa amadlabuzane kanye lezithombe eziyisinengiso.”—1 Phet. 4:3.\n14 UDevynn lomkakhe uJasmine bakwenza lokhu lanxa basebeleminyaka eminengi beyizidakwa. UDevynn wayeyingcitshi emsebenzini wokuphatha amabhuku ezimali zenkampani kodwa wayehlala ephelelwe ngumsebenzi ngenxa yokuthanda utshwala. UJasmine yena wayelolaka futhi ethanda ukulwa. Ngelinye ilanga wathi ezihambela emgwaqweni ephelile ngokudakwa wahlangana lomunye umzalwane lomkakhe abangabanali. Bamthembisa ukuthi bazafika emzini wakhe bazofunda laye iBhayibhili. Bathi befika ngeviki elandelayo bathola uJasmine loDevynn bedakwe befile. Babecabanga ukuthi abanali labo kabasoze bazihluphe ngokufika emzini wabo. Kodwa ngesikhathi esilandelayo abanali laba bathola izinto sezintshintshile. UJasmine loDevynn basebezimisele ukufunda iBhayibhili njalo bahle baqalisa ukusebenzisa izinto ababezifunda. Kungakapheli lenyanga ezintathu babutshiya utshwala futhi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi babhalisa umtshado wabo emthethweni. Abantu emphakathini balunanzelela untshintsho olwenziwa nguJasmine loDevynn njalo abanengi babo baqalisa ukufunda iBhayibhili.\n15. Kuyini okungaba nzima ukuthi umuntu akwenze nxa esefuna ukuthenga iqiniso futhi kungani kunzima?\n15 Imikhuba lamasiko aphikisana leBhayibhili. Lanxa umuntu efuna ukulithenga iqiniso, kungaba nzima ukuthi atshiye imikhuba lamasiko angavumelani leLizwi likaNkulunkulu. Abanye bayazwisisa sibili ukuthi iBhayibhili lithini ngezinto lezi kodwa kube nzima ukuthi batshiyane lazo ngenxa yokwesaba izihlobo labangane babo kanye labantu abasebenza labo. Bayakwazi ukuthi amasiko anjalo ajayele ukudala ingxabano, ikakhulu lawo aphathelane lokuhlonipha izihlobo ezafayo. (Dute. 14:1) Ukuhlola izibonelo zabanye abenelisa ukunqoba imikhuba lamasiko anjalo kungasinceda kakhulu. Ake sibone ukuthi abazalwane base-Efesu benzani ukuze batshiye imikhuba lamasiko aphikisana leBhayibhili.\n16. Abanye abantu base-Efesu benzani ukuze bathenge iqiniso?\n16 Abantu bedolobho le-Efesu babekuthanda kakhulu ukwenza amasalamusi. Kodwa abanye babo baphenduka baba ngamaKhristu eqiniso. Benzani ukuze batshiye leyomikhuba engalunganga? IBhayibhili lithi: “Abanengi ababehlahlula baletha ndawonye izincwadimgoqwa zabo bazitshisa obala. Bathi sebehlolile izindleko zalezozincwadimgoqwa kwabonakala kungaba ngamadrakhima ayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amahlanu. Ngaleyondlela ilizwi leNkosi landa kabanzi njalo lakhula laba lamandla.” (ImiSeb. 19:19, 20) Kuyakhanya-ke ukuthi amaKhristu la athembekileyo avuma ukulahlekelwa yizinto ayezithanda futhi lokhu kwenza uJehova wawabusisa.\n17. (a) Yiziphi ezinye izinto esingazitshiya ukuze sithenge iqiniso? (b) Sizaxoxa ngani esihlokweni esilandelayo?\n17 Wena walithenga ngani iqiniso? Sonke sasebenzisa isikhathi sethu ukuze sithenge iqiniso. Kodwa abanye balithenga ngokutshiya amathuba okuzuza imali lenotho njalo abanye badela izihlobo labangane. Abanengi bantshintsha izenzo zabo lendlela ababecabanga ngayo futhi abanye batshiya imikhuba lamasiko aphikisana leLizwi likaNkulunkulu. Kasizisoli ngalokho esakwenzayo ngoba siyakwazi ukuthi iqiniso eliseBhayibhilini liqakatheke ukwedlula loba yini engasilahlekela. Iqiniso leli lenze sathola izibusiso ezinhle okwamagama! Phela yilo elisenza sibe ngabangane bakaJehova njalo lokhu kuqakatheke ukwedlula loba yini esingaba layo. Kodwa okudanisayo yikuthi abanye bayalithengisa iqiniso. Kuyabe sekutheni nxa umuntu esethengisa into eligugu kangaka? Singenzani ukuze singalithengisi iqiniso?

Umutsho othi ‘laphefumulelwa nguNkulunkulu’ utsho ukuthi konke okubhalwe kulo kuvela kuNkulunkulu. IBhayibhili lithi: ‘Abantu bakhuluma kuvela kuNkulunkulu beholwa ngumoya ongcwele.’ (2 Phetro 1:21) Ngamanye amazwi, uNkulunkulu wasebenzisa amandla akhe angabonakaliyo kumbe umoya ongcwele ukuze adlulisele imilayezo yakhe kubalobi beBhayibhili.

Waqhubeka ekhuluma okwesikhathi eside kwaze kwaba semadabukakusa wasesuka. 12 Ngakho bamthatha umfana bahamba laye esephila, baduduzeka kakhulu. 13 Thina sasuka kuqala sayagada umkhumbi saqonda e-Asosi kodwa uPhawuli yena wahamba ngenyawo. Sasizahlangana laye khona simthathe ngomkhumbi njengoba wayesitshele ukuthi senze njalo. 14 Ngakho wathi esithola e-Asosi, samthatha sahamba laye ngomkhumbi eMithilene. 15 Sasuka lapho ngelanga elilandelayo sayakuma eduze leKhiyosi. Ngelanga lesibili safika sama kancane eSamosi, sasesifika eMilethu ngelanga lesithathu. 16 UPhawuli wayekhethe ukuyiceza i-Efesu ukuze angahlali esabelweni sase-Asiya ngoba wayejahe ukuthi nxa kuvuma ayefika eJerusalema ngosuku loMkhosi WePhentekhosti. 17 Lanxa kunjalo, wathi eseMilethu wathumela ilizwi e-Efesu ebiza abadala bebandla. 18 Bathi sebefikile kuye wathi kubo: “Likwazi mhlophe ukuthi ngangiphila njani phakathi kwenu kusukela ngelanga lokuqala ngibeka olwami esabelweni sase-Asiya. 19 Ngayisebenzela nzima iNkosi ngokuthobeka* konke langezinyembezi lobunzima obangehlelayo ngenxa yamacebo ayebunjwa ngamaJuda. 20 Kangizange ngithikaze ukulitshela loba yini eyayingalinceda, lokulifundisa obala lasendlini ngendlu. 21 Kodwa ngafakaza ngokugcweleyo kumaJuda lakumaGrikhi ukuthi kumele baphendukele kuNkulunkulu njalo babe lokholo eNkosini yethu uJesu. 22 Khathesi ngiqhutshwa ngumoya ongcwele ngiya eJerusalema lanxa ngingakwazi okuzangehlela khonale, 23 ngaphandle kokuthi umoya ongcwele uqhubeka ufakaza kimi idolobho ngedolobho, usithi ngizabotshwa njalo ngehlelwe zinhlupho. 24 Loba kunjalo eyami impilo* angiyiboni iligugu kimi.* Okuqakathekileyo yikuthi ngiqede umsebenzi lenkonzo engayamukela eNkosini uJesu, eyokufakaza ngokugcweleyo izindaba ezinhle zomusa omkhulu kaNkulunkulu. 25 “Khathesi ngiyazi ukuthi kini engalitshumayeza ngoMbuso, kakho ozaphinda abone ubuso bami futhi. 26 Lamuhla nje ngifuna libe ngofakazi bokuthi ngimsulwa egazini labantu bonke 27 ngoba kangizange ngithikaze ukulitshela yonke intando* kaNkulunkulu. 28 Zilindeni lina lawo wonke umhlambi umoya ongcwele olibeke ukuthi libe ngababonisi phezu kwawo, ukuba leluse ibandla likaNkulunkulu alithenga ngegazi leNdodana yakhe. 29 Ngiyazi ukuthi nxa sengihambile impisi ezilesihluku zizangena phakathi kwenu njalo kazisoze ziwuphathe ngozwelo umhlambi, 30 futhi phakathi kwenu kuzavela amadoda azakhuluma izinto ezinxele efuna ukudukisa abafundi ukuze bawalandele. 31 “Ngakho hlalani lilindile, likhumbule ukuthi okweminyaka emithathu kangizange ngiyekele ukweluleka ngamunye wenu ngezinyembezi ebusuku lemini. 32 Khathesi ngilinikela kuNkulunkulu laselizwini lomusa wakhe omkhulu, lona elenelisa ukulakha lokulipha ilifa phakathi kwabo bonke abangcwelisiweyo. 33 Kangizange ngihawukele isiliva loba igolide kumbe izigqoko zomuntu. 34 Lina ngokwenu liyakwazi ukuthi izandla zami lezi yizo ezenze ngathola ebengikuswela lokwalabo ebengilabo. 35 Ngilitshengisile kukho konke ukuthi ngokusebenza nzima ngalindlela, kumele lincedise ababuthakathaka njalo lihlale likhumbula amazwi akhulunywa yiNkosi uJesu ngokwayo, athi: ‘Ukupha kuyathokozisa kakhulu ukwedlula ukwamukela.’” 36 Esekutshilo lokhu waguqa phansi labo bonke wathandaza. 37 Bonke bakhala ezimathonsi sibili, bamgona uPhawuli* bamqabuza 38 ngoba kwakubazwisa ubuhlungu kakhulu ukuthi wayethe babengasoze baphinde babubone ubuso bakhe. Basebemphelekezela esesiya emkhunjini.\n^ Kumbe, “ngoba umphefumulo wakhe ukuye.”\n^ Kumbe, “ngokuzehlisa.”\n^ Kumbe, “ngiyibona ingasilutho ngitsho.”\n^ Kumbe, “injongo.”\n^ NgesiGrikhi, “bawela entanyeni kaPhawuli.”


ISambulo 14 IBhayibhili Eliku-Inthanethi | Inguqulo Yomhlaba Omutsha\nIMvana labangu-144 000 (1-5)\nAmazwi avela ezingilosini ezintathu (6-12)\nIngilosi ephapha emoyeni ilezindaba ezinhle (6, 7)\nBayathokoza abafa bemanyene loKhristu (13)\n14 Ngakhangela ngasengibona iMvana imi phezu kweNtaba iZiyoni ilabangu-144 000, bebhalwe ibizo layo lebizo likaYise emabunzini abo. 2 Ngezwa umdumo uvela ezulwini, ungathi ngumdumo wamanzi amanengi futhi ungathi yikukhwaza komdumo wezulu omkhulu. Umdumo engawuzwayo wawunjengowabahlabeleli abahlabela betshaya amahabhu abo. 3 Bahlabela okuzwakala angathi yingoma entsha bephambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi laphambi kwezidalwa ezine eziphilayo kanye labadala, njalo kakho owayesenelisa ukuyifunda ingoma leyo ngaphandle kwabangu-144 000 abathengwe emhlabeni. 4 Laba yibo abangazange bazingcolise ngabesifazana, bamsulwa.* Laba yibo abaqhubeka belandela iMvana kungelani lokuthi iyangaphi. Bathengwa ebantwini baba yizithelo zokuqala kuNkulunkulu lakuyo iMvana, 5 futhi ubuqili kabutholakalanga emilonyeni yabo; kabalasici. 6 Ngasengibona enye ingilosi iphapha emoyeni, ilezindaba ezinhle zaphakade ukuze izimemezele kulabo abahlala emhlabeni, kuzo zonke izizwe, lezizwana, lezindimi kanye labantu. 7 Yayimemeza isithi: “Mesabeni uNkulunkulu limnike inkazimulo ngoba ihola lokuthi ahlulele selifikile, yikho khonzani Lowo owenza izulu, lomhlaba, lolwandle kanye lemithombo yamanzi.” 8 Enye ingilosi eyayingeyesibili yalandela isithi: “Isiwile! IBhabhiloni Enkulu isiwile, leyo eyayisenza ukuthi izizwe zonke zinathe iwayini lenkanuko* yokuziphatha kwayo okubi kwezemacansini!”* 9 Enye ingilosi eyayingeyesithathu yazilandela imemeza isithi: “Loba ngubani okhonza isilo lesithombe saso futhi abekwe uphawu ebunzini lakhe kumbe esandleni sakhe, 10 uzanatha lewayini lentukuthelo kaNkulunkulu elithululelwa enkomitshini yolaka lwakhe lingahlanganiswanga lalutho,* njalo uzahlukuluzwa ngomlilo langesalufa phambi kwezingilosi ezingcwele laphambi kweMvana. 11 Intuthu yokuhlukuluzwa kwabo iyaphakama kuze kube nini lanini futhi kakukho ukuphumula emini lebusuku kulabo abakhonza isilo lesithombe saso lakuloba ngubani owemukela uphawu lwebizo laso. 12 Lapha yikho okufuneka khona ukuthi abangcwele baqinisele, labo abagcina imilayo kaNkulunkulu lababambelela ekukholweni kukaJesu.”* 13 Ngezwa ilizwi livela ezulwini lisithi, “Bhala uthi: Bayathokoza abafileyo, abafa bemanyene leNkosi kusukela kulesisikhathi kusiya phambili. Umoya uthi ye, bayekele baphumule emisebenzini yabo ngoba izinto ababezenza zihamba labo.” 14 Ngakhangela ngabona nanti iyezi elimhlophe! Phezu kweyezi lelo kwakulomuntu owayenjengendodana yomuntu, elomqhele wegolide ekhanda lakhe lesikela ebukhali esandleni sakhe. 15 Enye ingilosi yaphuma endaweni engcwele yethempeli imemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, isithi kulowo owayehlezi phezu kweyezi: “Sebenzisa isikela yakho uvune ngoba ihola lokuthi kuvunwe selifikile; isivuno somhlaba sesivuthwe ngokugcweleyo.” 16 Owayehlezi phezu kweyezi welulela isikela yakhe emhlabeni, umhlaba wasuvunwa. 17 Kwaphuma lenye ingilosi endaweni engcwele yethempeli elisezulwini njalo layo yayilesikela ebukhali. 18 Kwaphinda kwaphuma enye ingilosi e-alithareni. Yayilamandla phezu komlilo futhi yamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, ikhuluma laleyo eyayilesikela ebukhali isithi: “Sebenzisa isikela yakho ebukhali, ubuthe izixha zamagilebisi esivini somhlaba ngoba amagilebisi aso asevuthiwe.” 19 Ingilosi yelulela isikela emhlabeni yabutha isivini somhlaba, yasiphosela esikhamelweni sewayini* esikhulu sentukuthelo kaNkulunkulu. 20 Isikhamelo sewayini* sanyathenyathelwa ngaphandle kwedolobho njalo igazi laphuma phandle kwesikhamelo sewayini,* laphakama laze lafika ematomini amabhiza, okomango ongamastadiya angu-1 600.*\n^ NgesiGrikhi, “bazintombi ezigcweleyo.” Ibala lesiGrikhi elisetshenziswe lapha lisebenza kwabesilisa labesifazana.\n^ Kumbe, “lingaqungwanga.”\n^ Kumbe, “kuJesu.”\n^ Lapha kutshiwo indawo yokukhamela amagilebisi.\n^ Kumbe, “ongamakhilomitha angaba ngu-296.” Istadiya yayingamamitha angu-185.
