1:1 UPawulos, umpostile kaYesu Kristu ngokuthanda kukaThixo, noTimoti umzalwana, ubhalela ibandla likaThixo eliseKorinte, kunye nabo bonke abangcwele abakwelaseAkaya liphela:
1:2 uthi, makube lubabalo kuni, noxolo oluvela kuThixo, uBawo wethu, neNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu.
1:3 Makabongwe uThixo, uYise weNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, uSozimfefe, uThixo onako konke ukuthuthuzela,
1:4 osithuthuzelayo kuyo yonke imbandezelo yethu, ukuze sibe nako ukubathuthuzela abakwinto yonke eyimbandezelo, ngayo intuthuzelo esithuthuzelwa ngayo nathi nguye uThixo.
1:5 Ngokuba, njengokuba iintlungu zikaKristu ziphuphumela kuthi, ngokunjalo ithi nentuthuzelo yethu iphuphume ngoKristu.
1:6 Nokuba na ke siyabandezelwa, oko kwenzelwa ukuthuthuzela nokusindisa nina, ukusindisa ke okusebenzayo ngokunyamezela kwenu kwa-ezo ntlungu sizivayo nathi; nokuba na ke siyathuthuzelwa, oko kwenzelwa ukuthuthuzela nokusindisa nina.
1:7 Kanjalo ithemba lethu ngani liqinisekile; sisazi ukuba, njengokuba ningamadlelane nathi ngazo iintlungu, ngokunjalo niyakuba ngawo nangentuthuzelo.
1:8 Kuba asithandi ukuba ningayazi, bazalwana, imbandezelo yethu eyasihlelayo kwelaseAsiya: ukuba saxineka ngokuncamisileyo, ngaphezu kwamandla ethu, ngokokude sibuncame kanye nobomi.
1:9 Sasuka ngokwethu saba nesigwebo sokufa ngaphakathi kwethu, ukuze singabi ngabasazithembayo, sithembele kuThixo lo ubavusayo abafileyo;
1:10 owasihlangulayo ekufeni okungako, osihlangulayo nangoku; esithembele kuye ukuba usaya kusihlangula:
1:11 nakubon ukuba niyancedisa nani ngokusikhungela, ukuze isipho esingokubabalwa, esenzelwe sona thina ngabantu abaninzi, sibulelwe ngabaninzi ngenxa yethu.
1:12 Kuba oko kuqhayisa kwethu kukungqina kwesazela sethu, ukuba sithe ehlabathini apha, ngokukodwa ke kuni, sahlala singabangenakumbi, sinokungcwengeka okuvela kuThixo, singenabulumko bubobenyama, sinobabalo lukaThixo.
1:13 Kuba asinibhaleli zimbi izinto, ikwazezo nizilesayo, nizaziyo kakuhle. Ndiyathemba ke ukuba niya kuzazi kakuhle, kude kuse nasekupheleni,
1:14 njengokuba nasaziyo kakuhle ngokuyinxenye, ukuba siliqhayiya lenu, kwanjengokuba nani nilelethu ngemini yeNkosi uYesu.
1:15 Ndinaloo nkoloseko ke, ndanqwenela ukunga ndingeza kuni kuqala, ukuze nibabalwe okwesibini;
1:16 ndize ndicande kuni ukuya kwelaseMakedoni; ndibuye, ndivela kwelaseMakedoni, ndize kuni, ndiphelekelelwe nini ukuya kwelakwaYuda.
1:17 Xa ngoko ndandifuna oko, ndandifeketha na kanti? Okanye izinto endizicebayo, ndiziceba ngokwenyama yini na ukuze nje kubekho kum uewe, ewe; nohayi, hayi?
1:18 Ethembekile nje ke uThixo, ilizwi lethu kuni alibanga nguewe nohayi.
1:19 Kuba yena okaThixo uNyana, uYesu Kristu, owavakaliswayo phakathi kwenu sithi (ndim ke noSilvano noTimoti), akabanga nguewe nohayi; kuye nguewe kwakanye;
1:20 kuba ngangoko angako amadinga kaThixo, uewe ukuye, noamen ukuye, ukuze kuzukiswe uThixo ngathi.
1:21 Osiqiniselayo ke ndawonye nani kuKristu, osithambisayo ke, nguThixo;
1:22 ositywine wasiqinisa, wasinika isinyaniso soMoya, saba sezintliziyweni zethu.
1:23 Mna ke ndibiza uThixo, ukuba abe lingqina emphefumlweni wam, ukuba kungokunivela, endithe ndaba andikezi eKorinte.
1:24 Anditsho ngakulugagamela ukholo lwenu; nditsho ngokuba singabasebenza nani uvuyo lwenu; kuba nimi ngokholo.
2:1 Mna ke okwam, ndagqiba kweli lokuba ndingabuyi ndize kuni ndibuhlungu.
2:2 Kuba mna ukuba ndinenza buhlungu, kusekho bani na ke ondenza ndibe nemihlali, ongenguye lowo wenziwe wabuhlungu kwandim?
2:3 Ndanibhalela ke kwakona oku, ukuze ndakufika ndingabi buhlungu ngabo bendimelwe kukuvuya ngabo; ndikholosile ngani nonke, ukuba uvuyo lwam ikwalolwenu nonke.
2:4 Kuba ndanibhalela ekubandezelekeni nasekuxinezelekeni okukhulu kwentliziyo yam, ndineenyembezi ezininzi; ndingenzeli ukuze nenziwe buhlungu, ndisenzela ukuze nilwazi uthando endinithanda ngalo ngokugqithiseleyo.
2:5 Ke ukuba ubani wenze kwabuhlungu, akenze kwabuhlungu mna, wenze ngenxenye nina nonke; nditsho ukuze ndingamcinezeli.
2:6 Kumanele lowo unjalo oko kumkhalimela kwabona baninzi kuni;
2:7 ngokokude nithi kanye senimxolela, nimthuthuzele, hleze lowo unjalo aselesuka edliwa kukuba buhlungu ngokugqithiseleyo.
2:8 Kungoko ndiniyalayo, ndithi, luzinziseni uthando kuye;
2:9 kuba ndabhalela kona oku, ukuze ndikwazi ukucikideka kwenu, ukuba ningabevayo na ezintweni zonke.
2:10 Enimxolelayo ke into, ndiyamxolela nam; kuba nam, ukuba ndixolele into endiyixoleleyo, ndenze ngenxa yenu, phambi kukaKristu;
2:11 ukuze singabonelelwa nguye uSathana; kuba amaqhinga akhe siyawazi.
2:12 Ke kaloku, ndathi ndakufika eTrowa ngenxa yeendaba ezilungileyo zikaKristu, ndakuba ndiwuvulelwe nomnyango eNkosini,
2:13 andibanga nakonwaba emoyeni wam, ngokungamfumani uTito, umzalwana wam; ndesuka ndababulisa, ndanduluka ndava kwelaseMakedoni.
2:14 Makubulelwe ke kuThixo, ohlala eduma ngathi sikuKristu, elibonakalalisa ngathi ivumba lokwaziwa kwakhe ezindaweni zonke.
2:15 Ngokuba kuye uThixo silivumba elimnandi likaKristu, phakathi kwabasindiswayo naphakathi kwabatshabalalayo.
2:16 Kwabanye silivumba lokufa elisa ekufeni; kwabanye silivumba lobomi elisa ebomini. Ngubani na ke ozilingeneyo ezo zinto?
2:17 Kuba asithi, njengabaninzi abo, silingxengelele ilizwi likaThixo; sisuka ngokwabokungcwengeka, sisuka ngokwabakwaThixo, sithethe phambi kwamehlo kaThixo, sikuKristu.
3:1 Xa sitshoyo, singaba siyawaqala siziyaleze na? Okanye sifuna, njengabathile, kusini na, iincwadi zokuyalezwa kuni, nokuba zezokuyalezwa nini?
3:2 Incwadi yethu thina, ebhalwe ezintliziyweni zethu, nini; iyaziwa, ileswa ngabantu bonke;
3:3 nibonakalalisiwe nje ukuba niyincwadi kaKristu, eyalungiselelwa sithi, engabhalwanga ngainki, ebhalwe ngoMoya kaThixo ophilileyo; kungekhona emacwecweni amatye, kusemacwecweni angawenyama entliziyo.
3:4 Sinenkoloseko enjalo ke kuThixo ngaye uKristu.
3:5 Ukutsho andithi, sikulingene ngokwethu ukucamanga nto engathi iphuma kuthi ngokwethu; ukukulingana kwethu oko kuphuma kuThixo,
3:6 osenze nokusenza sakulingana ukuba ngabalungiseleli bomnqophiso omtsha; singabi ngabobhalo nje kodwa, sibe singabomoya; kuba ubhalo luyabulala, umoya ke udlisa ubomi.
3:7 Ke kaloku, ukuba ulungiselelo olo lubulalayo, lukroliweyo ematyeni ngobhalo, lweza lunobuqaqawuli, ngokude oonyana bakaSirayeli bangabi nakuqwalasela ebusweni bukaMoses, ngenxa yobuqaqawuli bobuso bakhe, ubuqaqawuli ke obebuza kubhanga:
3:8 lungathini na ulungiselelo lwakhe uMoya, ukungabi nobuqaqawuli ngokugqithiseleyo?
3:9 Kuba, ukuba ulungiselelo olugwebayo lunobuqaqawuli, kokukhona luya kugqithisela ngobuqaqawuli ulungiselelo lobulungisa.
3:10 Kuba kwanoko kwenziwe kwaba nobuqaqawuli, akwenziwanga kwaba nobuqaqawuli ngale ndawo, ngenxa ke yobuqaqawuli obu bona bubalaselayo.
3:11 Kuba xa oko bekuza kubhanga kunobuqaqawuli, kokukhona oku kuhleliyo kunobuqaqawuli.
3:12 Sinethemba elinjalo nje ke ngoko, kokukhona singafihlisiyo ukuthetha;
3:13 singaxelisi uMoses, yena wabeka isigqubuthelo ebusweni bakhe, ukuze oonyana bakaSirayeli bangaqwalaseli esiphelweni soko bekuza kubhanga.
3:14 Zesuka noko zaqaqadekiswa iingqiqo zabo; kuba nanamhla sisahleli kwaeso sigqubuthelo ekulesweni kwawo umnqophiso omdala, singabhenqwanga, nto leyo ke ibhangayo kuKristu.
3:15 Kusuke kwada kwaba namhlanje, kusithi, xenikweni kuleswa uMoses, kusuke kubekho isigqubuthelo entliziyweni yabo.
3:16 Ke xenikweni ithe ke yona yabuyela eNkosini sosuswa kuphele isigqubuthelo eso.
3:17 INkosi ke inguye uMoya; apho ke akhoyo uMoya weNkosi, kubakho inkululeko.
3:18 Thina ke sonke, sinobuso nje obubhenqwe isigqubuthelo, sibukhangela njengokwasesipilini ubuqaqawuli beNkosi, senziwa similise okwaloo mfanekiselo, sivela ebuqaqawulini sisinge ebuqaqawulini, kwanjengokuvela eNkosini enguMoya.
4:1 Ngenxa yoko, sinalo nje olu lungiselelo, sithi, njengoko senzelwe inceba, singethi mandla;
4:2 sisuke sazilahla izinto ezifihlakeleyo eziziintloni, singahambi ngobuqhetseba, singalikhohlakalisi ilizwi likaThixo; sisuka ngokuyibonakalalisa inyaniso siziyaleze kuso sonke isazela sabantu emehlweni kaThixo.
4:3 Ukuba ke zigqutyuthelwe iindaba ezilungileyo zethu, zigqutyuthelwe kwabo batshabalalayo;
4:4 athe uthixo weli phakade wazimfamekisa ngaphakathi kwabo iingqiqo zabangakholwayo, ukuze singabengezeli kubo isikhanyiso seendaba ezilungileyo zobuqaqawuli bukaKristu, ongumfanekiselo kaThixo.
4:5 Kuba asizivakalisi thina, sivakalisa uKristu Yesu ukuba uyiNkosi; sibe ke thina sizivakalisa ukuba singabakhonzi benu ngenxa kaYesu.
4:6 Ngokuba nguThixo, yena wathi ukhanyiso malukhanye ebumnyameni, okhanyisele iintliziyo zethu, ukuze kukhanye ukwaziwa kobuqaqawuli bukaThixo ebusweni bukaYesu Kristu.
4:7 Ke kaloku obu butyebi sibuphethe ngezitya zodongwe, ukuze incamisa yamandla ibe yekaThixo, ingaphumi kuthi.
4:8 Siyabandezelwa ngeenxa zonke, singaxineki; siyathingaza, singancami; sitshutshiswa, asiyekelwa;
4:9 sikhahlelwa phantsi, asitshatyalaliswa;
4:10 sihlala sikuthwele ngomzimba ukufa kweNkosi uYesu ukuze nobomi bukaYesu bubonakalaliselwe emzimbeni wethu.
4:11 Kuba thina badla ubomi simana sinikelwa ekufeni ngenxa kaYesu, ukuze nobomi bukaYesu bubonakalaliselwe enyameni yethu enokufa.
4:12 Ngoko ke kusebenza ukufa kuthi, ke kuni kusebenza ubomi.
4:13 Sinawo nje ke kwaloo moya wokholo, ngokoko kubhaliweyo kwathiwa, Ndakholwa, kungoko ndathethayo: nathi ke siyakholwa, kungoko sithethayo nokuthetha;
4:14 sisazi ukuba lowo wayivusayo iNkosi uYesu, uya kusivusa nathi ngoYesu, asimise phambi kwakhe, ndawonye nani.
4:15 Kuba konke oko kungenxa yenu, ukuze luthi ubabalo, lwakuba lwandile ngabona baninzi, luwuphuphumise umbulelo, use ekuzukiseni uThixo.
4:16 Kungoko singethi mandla; kuba nokuba umntu wethu wangaphandle uya esonakala, usuka yena owangaphakathi aye ehlaziyeka imihla ngemihla.
4:17 Kuba ubukhaphukhaphu bembandezelo yethu eyeyomzuzwana busisebenzela ngokuncamise kwaphela ubuqaqawuli obukhulukazi obungunaphakade
4:18 sakubon ukuba asixuneli ezintweni ezibonwayo, sixunela kwezingabonwayo. Kuba ezibonwayo zezomzuzwana, ke zona ezingabonwayo zezonaphakade.
5:1 Kuba siyazi ukuba, xa ithe yachithwa indlu yethu esemhlabeni, engulo mnquba, sinesakhiwo esiphuma kuThixo, indlu yona emazulwini, engenakwenziwa ngazandla, engunaphakade.
5:2 Kuba kulo siyancwina, silangazelela ukwambatha, saleke indlu yethu yasemazulwini;
5:3 ukuba siya kufunyanwa sambethe okunene, singeze.
5:4 Kuba kwathina aba bakulo mnquba siyancwina sisindwa, kungengakuba sithanda ukuhlutywa; kungokuba sithanda ukwambathiswa saleke, ukuze okunokufa kufincwe bubomi.
5:5 Ke kaloku lo usisebenzele kwaloo nto nguThixo, osinike nokusinika isinyaniso sakhe uMoya.
5:6 Ngoko ke sihlala somelele, sisazi ukuba, sikowethu nje emzimbeni, sikude kowethu eNkosini
5:7 (kuba sihamba ngokholo, asihambi ngakubona);
5:8 somelele ke, sikholisiwe nokukholiswa kanye kukuba kude nekhaya lethu elisemzimbeni, sibekho kwikhaya lethu eliseNkosini.
5:9 Kungoko sizondelela ukuthi, nokuba sisekhaya, nokuba sikude nekhaya, sibe ngabakholekileyo kuyo.
5:10 Kuba thina aba sonke simelwe kukuthi sibonakalaliswe phambi kwesihlalo sokugweba sikaKristu, ukuze elowo azuziswe okwenziwe ngomzimba, ngoko akwenzileyo, nokuba kokulungileyo, nokuba kokubi.
5:11 Sikwazi njalo ke ukoyikeka kweNkosi, sizamela ukuba beyiseke abantu; sibonakalalisiwe ke kuThixo, ndiyathemba ke ukuba nakuzo izazela zenu sibonakalalisiwe.
5:12 Kuba asibuyi siziyaleze kuni; sininika ithuba lokuzingca ngathi; ukuze nibe nalo ilizwi ngakwabo bazingcayo ngobuso, bengazingci ngantliziyo.
5:13 Kuba, nokuba siyageza, kungenxa kaThixo; nokuba sinengqondo ephilileyo, kungenxa yenu.
5:14 Kuba lusifingile nje uthando lukaKristu, sigqibe kwelokuthi, ukuba ufele bonke emnye, ngoko bafile bonke abo;
5:15 wabafela ke bonke, ukuze abo badla ubomi bangabi sazidlela ubomi, babudlele owafayo wavuka ngenxa yabo.
5:16 Ngoko ke thina, sisusela kweli xesha, asisazi namnye ngokwenyama; nokuba ke besimazi uKristu ngokwenyama, kungoku asisamazi ngokwenyama.
5:17 Ngoko ke, ukuba ubani ukuKristu, usisidalwa esitsha; izinto ezindala zidlule; bonani ke, zisuke zaba ntsha izinto zonke zakhe.
5:18 Zonke izinto ke ziphuma kuThixo, owasixolelanisa naye ngokwakhe ngoYesu Kristu, wasinika ulungiselelo loxolelaniso;
5:19 olu ke lokokuba uThixo waye ekuKristu, elixolelanisa naye ngokwakhe ihlabathi, engazibaleli kubo iziphoso zabo, walimisa kuthi ilizwi loxolelaniso.
5:20 Sizizigidimi ke ngoko ngenxa kaKristu, ngokungathi uThixo uniyala ngathi; siyanikhunga ngenxa kaKristu, manixolelaniswe naye uThixo;
5:21 kuba lowo ungazani nasono, wamenza isono ngenxa yethu, ukuze thina sibe bubulungisa bukaThixo kuye.
6:1 Sisebenzisana naye nje ke, siyaniyala, ukuba ubabalo lukaThixo ningafumane nilwamkele;
6:2 kuba uthi, Ndakuva ngexesha elamkelekileyo, Ndakusiza ngomhla wosindiso. Yabonani, lingoku ixesha elamkeleke kakuhle; yabonani, ungoku umhla wosindiso:
6:3 kungabikho namnye esimmisela isikhubekiso, nokuba kukuwuphi na umcimbi, ukuze ulungiselelo lwethu lungabi nakubekwa bala;
6:4 sisuka sithi emicimbini yonke siziqondakalise ngokwabalungiseleli bakaThixo, ngokunyamezela okukhulu, sisezimbandezelweni, sisezingxakekweni, sisezingxinanweni,
6:5 sinemivumbo, sisezintolongweni, siseziphithiphithini, sibulaleka, singalali, sizila ukudla,
6:6 sinobunyulu, sinokwazi, sinokuzeka kade umsindo, sinobubele, sinoMoya oyiNgcwele, sinothando olungahanahanisiyo,
6:7 sinelizwi lenyaniso, sinamandla kaThixo, sineentonga zobulungisa zasekunene nezasekhohlo,
6:8 sikuzuko nakwintswela-mbeko, sikudumo olubi nakudumo oluhle;
6:9 ngathi singabalahlekisi, ukanti singabenyaniso; ngathi singabangaziwayo, ukanti singabaziwayo; ngathi singabafileyo, nanku Sisidla ubomi; ngathi singababethwayo, singabulawa noko;
6:10 ngathi sibuhlungu, ukanti singabahlala bevuya; ngathi singamahlwempu, ukanti singabatyebisa abaninzi ke; ngathi singabangenanto, ukanti singabahlala benezinto zonke.
6:11 Umlomo wethu uvulekile kuni, baseKorinte; intliziyo yethu yenziwe yabanzi.
6:12 Anixinene kuthi, nixinene ezimfesaneni zenu.
6:13 Umbuyekezo ke onjalo (ndithetha njengakubantwana bam), ndithi yibani banzi nani.
6:14 Musani ukunxulumana nabolunye uhlobo, abangakholwayo ke; kuba kunakwabelana kuni na ubulungisa nokuchasa umthetho? Kunabudlelane buni na ke ukukhanya nobumnyama?
6:15 Unakuvumelana kuni na ke uKristu noBheliyali? Unasahlulelwano sini na okholwayo nongakholwayo?
6:16 Inakudibana kuni na ke itempile kaThixo nezithixo? Kuba nina niyitempile kaThixo ophilileyo; njengokuba watshoyo uThixo ukuthi, Ndiya kuhlala phakathi kwabo, ndihambe phakathi kwabo; ndibe nguThixo wabo, babe ngabantu bam bona.
6:17 Kungoko ndithi, Phumani phakathi kwabo, nizahlule, itsho iNkosi, Nento engcolileyo ningayichukumisi; Ndandiya kunamkela,
6:18 Ndibe nguyihlo, Nina nibe ngoonyana neentombi kum; Itsho iNkosi uSomandla.
7:1 Sinawo nje ngoko la madinga, zintanda, masizihlambulule kuko konke ukudyobheka kwenyama nokomoya sibufeza ubungcwele, sisoyika uThixo.
7:2 Samkeleni ngeentliziyo zenu; asonanga mntu, asonakalisanga mntu, asiphanganga mntu.
7:3 Anditsho ngakunigweba; kuba sendithe ngaphambili, nisezintliziyweni zethu ukuba sife nani, sidle ubomi nani.
7:4 Ndinokungafihlisi okukhulu kuni, ndizingca kakhulu ngani; ndizele yintuthuzelo, ndiphuphuma uvuyo kakhulu kuyo yonke imbandezelo yethu.
7:5 Kuba sithe sakufika kwelaseMakedoni, ayaba nakuphumla nakanye inyama yethu; sabandezelwa ngeenxa zonke, ngaphandle ikukulwa, ngaphakathi ikukoyika.
7:6 Ke lowo ubathuthuzelayo abathobekileyo, uThixo ke, wasithuthuzela ngokufika kukaTito;
7:7 akwaba ngakufika kwakhe ke kuphela, kwaba ngayo intuthuzelo awathuthuzeleka ngayo kuni, esityela ulangazelelo lwenu, isijwili senu, nokundizondelela kwenu, ngokokude ndivuye ngakumbi.
7:8 Kuba nakuba ndikhe ndanenza nabuhlungu ngencwadi leyo, andizohlwayi, nakuba ndikhe ndazohlwaya; kuba ndiyabona ukuba loo ncwadi yanenza buhlungu, nakuba kwaba ngumzuzwana.
7:9 Ngoku ke ndiyavuya, ndingavuyeli kuba neenziwa buhlungu, ndivuyela ukuba nenziwa buhlungu ngokwasinga enguqukweni; kuba nenziwa buhlungu ngokokukaThixo, ukuze ningalahlekwa nto ngathi.
7:10 Kuba ubuhlungu obungokukaThixo busebenza inguquko esingisa elusindisweni, ekungekho kuzohlwaya ngayo; ke kona okwehlabathi ukuba buhlungu kusebenza ukufa.
7:11 Kuba, yabonani, kwaoko kwenziwa kwenu buhlungu ngokukaThixo, kwanisebenzela ukunyameka okungakanana; nasuka naziphendulela, nasuka nacaphuka, nasuka noyika, nasuka nalangazelela, nasuka nazondelela, nasuka naphindezela! Ngeendawo zonke niziqondakalisile, ukuba kulo mcimbi nimsulwa nina okwenu.
7:12 Ngoko ke, noko ndanibhalelayo, andikwenzanga oko ngenxa yalowo wamonayo omnye, kanjalo andikwenzanga ngenxa yalowo woniwayo; ndakwenzela ukuze kubonakalaliswe kuni ukuninyamekela kwethu emehlweni kaThixo.
7:13 Ngenxa yoko, sithuthuzelekile ngenxa yokuthuthuzeleka kwenu; sakuvuyela ke ngokugqithiseleyo ngakumbi ukuvuya kukaTito; ngokuba waphunyuzwayo umoya wakhe nini nonke.
7:14 Ngokuba ukuqhayisa endaqhayisa ngako ngani, andidaniswanga ngako; njengokuba sazithetha kuni izinto zonke sinyanisile, ngokunjalo nokuqhayisa kwethu oko phambi koTito kwaba yinyaniso.
7:15 Imfesane yakhe isenkulu ngakuni ngokugqithiseleyo, akukhumbula ukumva kwenu nonke nokokuba namamkelayo ninokoyika nokugubha.
7:16 Ndiyavuya ngoko, kuba ndomelezekile kuni ezintweni zonke.
8:1 Ke kaloku, bazalwana, siyanazisa ubabalo lukaThixo oluhlakaziweyo phakathi kwamabandla akwelaseMakedoni;
8:2 okokuba ekucikidweni kwawo okukhulu yimbandezelo, kuthe ukuphuphuma kovuyo lwawo, nobuhlwempu bawo obendeleyo, kwaphuphumela ekutyebiseni ukunyanisa kwawo.
8:3 Ngokuba ndiyangqina ukuba bathe, ngokwamandla abo, ewe nangaphezu kwamandla, banikela ngokuqhutywa yintliziyo,
8:4 besikhunga, besibongoza kakhulu, ukuba silwamkele ubabalo olo, ubudlelane ke obo bokulungiselela abangcwele.
8:5 Abanelanga kwenza njengoko sathemba ngako; bathi kuqala bazinikela eNkosini, baza kamva bazinikela nakuthi ngokuthanda kukaThixo;
8:6 ngokokude simyale uTito, ukuze athi, njengokuba ebeqalile, alufezele kuni ngokunjalo nolo lubabalo.
8:7 Ke, kwanjengokuba niphuphuma iinto zonke, ukholo, nokuthetha, nokwazi, nokunyameka konke, nokusithanda kwenu, maniphuphume nakulo olu lubabalo.
8:8 Anditsho ngakwammiselo; ukutsho, ndenziwa kukunyameka kwabanye, ndicikida nenyaniso yolwenu uthando;
8:9 kuba niyalwazi ubabalo lweNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, okokuba yathi, ibisisityebi nje, yaba lihlwempu ngenxa yenu, ukuze nina nibe zizityebi ngobuhlwempu bayo obo.
8:10 Ngale ndawo ke ndinipha okwam ukubona; kuba oko kunilungele nina aba nayiqalayo kwanyakenye le nto; ananela kuyenza, nayithanda nokuyithanda.
8:11 Ngoku ke yenzeni niyifeze loo nto, ukuze, kwanjengokuba bekukho intumekelelo yokuthanda, kwangokunjalo kubekho nokuyifeza ngeninako.
8:12 Kuba intumekelelo, ukuba selikho, yamkeleka kakuhle ngokoko asukuba enako umntu, kungabi ngokoko angenako.
8:13 Kuba andithi mabaphumle abanye, nibandezeleke nina;
8:14 ndithi, ukuze kubekho ukulingana ngexesha lakalokunje, ukuphuphuma kwenu makufikelele ekusileleni kwabo; ukuze nokuphuphuma kwabo kufikelele ekusileleni kwenu, ukuze ke kubekho ukulingana;
8:15 njengokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Owabutha kakhulu akabanga nakusalelayo; nowabutha kancinane akabanga nakusilela.
8:16 Makubulelwe ke kuThixo, ongenise kwaoko kuninyamekela entliziyweni kaTito.
8:17 Ngokuba wasamkela okunene isiyalo; ke uthe, enyameke okunye, waphuma ngokuqhutywa yintliziyo, waya kuni.
8:18 Sathuma ke kunye naye umzalwana odume phakathi kwawo onke amabandla, ngokuvakalisa iindaba ezilungileyo.
8:19 Asikuphela ke oko; wanyulwa nokunyulwa ngawo amabandla, ukuba abe ngohamba nathi, nalo olu lubabalo lulungiselelwayo sithi, ukuze izukiswe iNkosi, nibe nokuthumekelela nina:
8:20 silumkele oku, ukuba kungabikho mntu usibeka bala kule nyambalala yeminikelo ilungiselelwayo sithi;
8:21 sikhathalele izinto ezintle, kungekhona emehlweni eNkosi yodwa, kukwanasemehlweni abantu.
8:22 Sithume ke kunye nabo umzalwana wethu, esimcikide futhi ngeendawo ezininzi, samfumana ekhuthele; kokukhona akhuthele kakhulu, ekholose kakhulu ngani.
8:23 Nokuba kuthethwa ntoni ngoTito, yazini ukuba ulidlelane nam, nomsebenzisi wam kuni; nokuba kuthethwa ngabazalwana bethu, yazini ukuba bangabathunywa bamabandla kaThixo, baluzuko lukaKristu.
8:24 Lo mbonakalaliso ngoko wothando lwenu, nowokuzingca kwethu ngani, wubonakalaliseni kubo, naphambi kwamabandla.
9:1 Kuba okunene ngako ukulungiselela abangcwele, akufuneki kona ukuba ndinibhalele.
9:2 Kuba ndiyakwazi ukuthumekelela kwenu, endiqhayisa ngako ngani kwabelaseMakedoni, ndisithi elaseAkaya beliselilunge kwanyakenye; nokuzondelela kwenu kwaxhokonxa abona baninzi.
9:3 Ke kaloku ndithume abazalwana, ukuze iqhayiya lethu elingani lingalanjathiswa ngale ndawo; ukuze nithi, njengokuba benditshilo, nibe senilungile;
9:4 hleze kuthi, ukuba bathe bafika nam abelaseMakedoni, banifumana ningekalungi, sidaniswe thina (ukuba asingethi, kudane nina) koko kukholosa kokuqhayisa.
9:5 Ngoko ndaba kuyafuneka ukubavuselela abazalwana, ukuba basandulele ukuya kuni, bayilungise ngaphambili intsikelelo yenu ebiselixeliwe ngaphambili; ilunge yona ngohlobo lwentsikelelo, ingangi yeyokuvimba.
9:6 Qondani ke le nto: Lowo uhlwayela ngokuvimba wovuna kwangokuvimba; nalowo uhlwayela ngesisa wovuna kwangesisa.
9:7 Elowo makanike njengoko agqibe ngako entliziyweni; makungabi kokuphuma kabuhlungu, nangokunyanzelwa; kuba uThixo uthanda umphi ochwayithileyo.
9:8 Unako ke uThixo ukuphuphumisela kuni ubabalo lonke, ukuze nithi, nihlala ninako nje ukwanela konke ngeendawo zonke, niphuphumele emsebenzini wonke olungileyo;
9:9 njengokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Wasasaza, wapha abasweleyo; Ubulungisa bakhe buhleli ngonaphakade.
9:10 Wanga ke angathi, ompha imbewu umhlwayeli, nesonka sokudliwa, aniphe ayandise imbewu yenu, ahlumise isiqhamo sobulungisa benu;
9:11 nithi ngeendawo zonke nityetyiselwe ekunyaniseni konke, kona kusebenzayo ngathi umbulelo kuThixo.
9:12 Ngokuba ulungiselelo lwalo mbuso alwaneli kuzalisela iintsilelo zabangcwele; lusuka kananjalo luphuphume imibulelo emininzi kuye uThixo;
9:13 besithi nje, ngako ukucikideka kolo lulungiselelo, bamzukise uThixo ngenxa yokulululamela kwenu uvumo lwenu ngokusingisele kwiindaba ezilungileyo zikaKristu, nangenxa yokunyanisa kokudlelana kwenu ngokusingisele kubo nakubantu bonke;
9:14 bakubon ukuba nabo bayanilangazelela, benikhungela ngenxa yobabalo lukaThixo oluncamisileyo kuni aba.
9:15 Makubulelwe ke kuThixo ngenxa yesipho sakhe singenambali.
10:1 Ke kaloku ndiyaniyala ngabo ubulali nokuthantamisa kukaKristu, mna Pawulos ngokwam, ndingothobekileyo kambe ngembonakalo, xa ndiphakathi kwenu, kodwa ndakuba ndingekho ndiba nobugagu kuni:
10:2 ndiyakhunga ke, ukuze ndingathi, ndakuba ndikho, ndibe nobugagu ngoko kukholosa, ndiba ndoba nobuganga ngako kubo abathile, ababa sihamba ngokwenyama.
10:3 Kuba noko sihamba sisenyameni, asiphumi mkhosi ngokwenyama;
10:4 kuba zona iintonga esiphuma ngazo umkhosi, azizezenyama; kuye uThixo zinamandla okuwisa iinqaba;
10:5 siwisa ngazo nje amabhongo, nayo yonke into ephakamileyo, eziphakamisayo ngokuchasa ukwazi uThixo; iingqiqo zonke sizithimbela ekumlulameleni uKristu;
10:6 sizilungisele ukuphindezela konke ukungamlulameli, xa kuthe kwazaliseka okwenu ukumlulamela.
10:7 Izinto nizikhangela ngokwembonakalo na? Ukuba umntu ukholose ngokuthi ungokaKristu, makabuye acinge oku ngokwakhe, ukuba njengokuba engokaKristu yena, ngokunjalo singabakaKristu nathi.
10:8 Kuba, naxa bendingathi ndigqithisele ukuqhayisa ngalo igunya lethu, esalinikwayo yiNkosi ukuba sinakhe, singanichithi, bendingedaniyo;
10:9 nditsho ukuze ndingangi ndifuna ukunoyikisa ngazo iincwadi ezi;
10:10 ngokuba kuthiwa, Iincwadi ezi zakhe okunene zinzima, zinamandla; kodwa ke akubakho ngenkqu akanamandla, nokuthetha kwakhe akunto yanto.
10:11 Onjalo ke makacinge le nto: njengoko sinjalo ngako ukuthetha ngeencwadi, sakuba singekho, sikwanjalo ngawo umsebenzi, sakuba sikho.
10:12 Kuba asinabuganga bakuzibalela nakuzifanisa nabo abathile abaziyalezayo; bona abanangqondo, bezilinganisela nje kwakubo ngokwabo, bezifanisa nje nabo ngokwabo.
10:13 Ke thina asisayi kuqhayisa sigqithise emlinganiselweni; soqhayisa ngokomlingani selo womda esiwabelwe nguThixo, ukuba ube ngumlinganiselo oya kufikelela nakuni.
10:14 Kuba asizoluli ngokugqithiseleyo, ngathi asifikeleli kuni; kuba sesafikelelayo nakuni sineendaba ezilungileyo zikaKristu.
10:15 Asiqhayisi sigqithise emlinganiselweni ngokubulaleka kwabanye; ke sinethemba, ukuba lwakukhula ukholo lwenu, siya kwenziwa bakhulu phakathi kwenu ngokomda wethu, sigqithisele,
10:16 side sizishumayele iindaba ezilungileyo ezindaweni ezingaphaya kwenu; singaqhayisi ngesilinganiselo somnye, ngezinto ke esezilungisiwe.
10:17 Oqhayisayo ke, makaqhayise ngeNkosi.
10:18 Kuba oyena ucikidekileyo asingoziyalezayo, ngoyalezwa yiNkosi.
11:1 Akwaba ningandi nyamezela kancinane ekusweleni kuqonda kwam! Kodwa noko niyandinyamezela.
11:2 Kuba ndiyanikhweletela ngekhwele likaThixo; kuba ndanendisa ndodeni-nye, ukuze ndinimise phambi koKristu niyintombi enyulu.
11:3 Ndiyoyika ke, hleze kuthi, njengokuba inyoka yamlukuhlayo uEva ngobuqhetseba bayo, zonakaliswe ngokunjalo nani iingqiqo zenu, zimke ekunyaniseni kuye uKristu.
11:4 Kuba kaloku, xa lowo uzayo avakalisa omnye uYesu, esingamvakalisanga thina, nokuba namkela moya wumbi enaningamkelanga wona, nokuba ziindaba ezilungileyo ezizimbi enaningamkelanga zona, beningaba kambe niyatyapha ukumnyamezela.
11:5 Kuba ndiba andisilele nganto kwabona bapostile baziincamisa.
11:6 Nakuba ke ndiliyilo ngentetho, andinjalo ngokwazi; sabonakala kuni phakathi kwabo bonke ngeendawo zonke.
11:7 Ndenza isono na ngokuzithoba, ukuze niphakanyiswe nina, ngokuba ndanishumayezayo ngesisa iindaba ezilungileyo zikaThixo?
11:8 Amanye amabandla kaThixo ndawabhunyula, ndisamkela umvuzo ukuze ndilungiselele nina.
11:9 Kanjalo xa ndandikho kuni, ndiswele, andibanga mthwalo mntwini; kuba ukuswela kwam bakwenzelela abazalwana, bakuvela kwelaseMakedoni; ndathi ngeendawo zonke ndazigcina, andaba bunzima kuni, ndisaya kuzigcina nangoku.
11:10 Ikum nje inyaniso kaKristu, ndithi olo luqhayiso aluyi kuvingcwa mlomo mayela nam, mna, kwimimandla yelaseAkaya.
11:11 Ngani na ke? Ngokuba ndinganithandi na? Hayi, uThixo uyazi.
11:12 Endikwenzayo ke ndiya kukwenza, ukuze ndibahluthe ithuba lokujinda abafuna ithuba; ukuze entweni abaqhayisa ngayo, bafunyanwe bekwanjengathi.
11:13 Kuba abo banjalo ngabapostile ababuxoki, ngabasebenzi abakhohlisayo, bezimilisa okwabapostile bakaKristu.
11:14 Ke akummangaliso oko, kuba noSathana ngokwakhe uzimilisa okwesithunywa sokukhanya.
11:15 Akunto inkulu ke ngoko, ukuba abalungiseleli bakhe bazimilise okwabalungiseleli bobulungisa; abasiphelo siya kuba ngokwemisebenzi yabo.
11:16 Ndibuya ndithi, Makungabikho mntu uba ndingoswele ukuqonda; okanye ke kambe, ndamkeleni njengoswele ukuqonda, ukuze ke ndiqhayise kancinane nam.
11:17 Oku ndikuthethayo, andikuthethi ngokweNkosi; ndikuthetha ngokoswele ukuqonda, ndinoko kukholosa koqhayiso.
11:18 Ekubeni bebaninzi ke abaqhayisa ngokwenyama, ndoqhayisa nam.
11:19 Kuba niyabanyamezela ngovuyo abaswele ukuqonda, niziingqondi nje nina.
11:20 Kuba kaloku niyanyamezela, ukuba umntu unenza amakhoboka, ukuba umntu uyanidla, ukuba umntu uyanibambisa, ukuba umntu uyaziphakamisa, ukuba umntu uyanibetha ebusweni.
11:21 Ndithi, ndizihlaza, ngathi sasiswele amandla thina. Entweni ke asukuba umntu enobuganga (ndithetha ndinokuswela ukuqonda), ndinobuganga nam.
11:22 BangamaHebhere na? Ndinguye nam. BangamaSirayeli na? Ndinguye nam. Bayimbewu ka-Abraham na? Ndiyiyo nam.
11:23 Bangabalungiseleli bakaKristu na? (Ndithetha nxamnye nengqondo.) Ndithi ndingongaphezulu mna, ngokubulaleka okugqithiseleyo, ngemivumbo egqithe emgceni, ngokuba sezintolongweni ngokugqithiseleyo, ngokuba sekufeni futhi.
11:24 KumaYuda ndazuza kahlanu imivumbo emashumi mane kwaphuke mnye.
11:25 Kukathathu ndibethwa ngeentswazi, okunye ndaxulutywa ngamatye, ndaphukelwa ngumkhombe kathathu, ndenze ubusuku nemini enzulwini;
11:26 ndithi ndingongaphezulu ngokuhamba okufuthi, ngeengozi zemilambo, ngeengozi zezihange, ngeengozi zamakowethu, ngeengozi zeentlanga, ngeengozi phakathi komzi, ngeengozi entlango, ngeengozi elwandle, ngeengozi phakathi kwabazalwana ababuxoki;
11:27 ngokubulaleka nangemigu, ngokungabi nakulala okufuthi, ngokulamba nokunxanwa, ngokuzila ukudla okufuthi, ngengqele nobuze.
11:28 Ndingasazibali zona izinto ezingaphandle kwezo, ndingungelwe imihla ngemihla kukuwaxhalela onke amabandla kaThixo.
11:29 Ngubani na okha aswele amandla, ndingasweli mandla nam? Ngubani na okha akhutyekiswe, ndingatshiseki mna?
11:30 Ukuba ndimelwe kukuqhayisa, ndoqhayisa ngezinto zokuswela amandla kwam.
11:31 UThixo, uYise weNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, ongowokubongwa ngonaphakade, uyazi ukuba andixoki.
11:32 EDamasko umphathi-luhlanga ka-Areta, ukumkani, wayewulinda umzi waseDamasko, efuna ukundibamba;
11:33 ndaza ngekroba ndathotywa ngomnyazi eludongeni, ndasinda ezandleni zakhe.
12:1 Ukuqhayisa okunene akundilungele; kuba ndiza kuza kwimibono nezityhilelo zeNkosi.
12:2 Ndazi umntu okuKristu, ekusekuyiminyaka elishumi elinamine (nokuba ubesemzimbeni na andazi, nokuba ubengekho na emzimbeni, andazi; kwaziwa nguThixo), ethe lowo waxwilwa, wada wasiwa nakwelesithathu izulu.
12:3 Ndiyamazi ke umntu onjalo (nokuba ubesemzimbeni na, nokuba ubengekho na emzimbeni, andazi; kwaziwa nguThixo),
12:4 okokuba waxwilwa wasiwa eParadisi, weva amazwi angenakuthethwa, ekungavumelekileyo ukuba umntu awathethe.
12:5 Onjalo ke ndiya kuqhayisa ngaye, kodwa andiyi kuqhayisa ngokwam nganto ikum; ingaba kungokuswela kwam amandla kodwa.
12:6 Kuba xa bendingathi ndithande ukuqhayisa, bendingayi kuba ndiswele ukuqonda, kuba bendiya kuba ndithetha inyaniso; kodwa ndiyayeka, ukuze kungabikho bani ucinga ngam ngaphezu koko abona ndikuko, athi mhlawumbi akuve kum.
12:7 Kwathi, ukuze ndingaziphakamisi ngokungaphezulu ngenxa yezityhilelo eziyincamisa, ndanikwa uviko enyameni, isithunywa sikaSathana, ukuze sindintlithe, ukuze ndingaziphakamisi ngokungaphezulu.
12:8 Ndayibongoza kathathu iNkosi ngaso isithunywa eso, ukuba sisuke kum.
12:9 Ithe yona kum, Ubabalo lwam lukwanele; kuba amandla am azalisekiswa ekuswelekeni kwamandla. Ngoko kokukhona sendiya kuqhayisa kamnandi kakhulu ngokuswela kwam amandla, ukuze ahlale phezu kwam amandla kaKristu.
12:10 Kungoko ndikholisiweyo kukuswela amandla, kukuphathwa kakubi, ziingxakeko, ziintshutshiso, ziingxinano, ngenxa kaKristu; kuba xa sukuba ndiswele amandla, kuxa ndinamandla.
12:11 Sendisuke ndaba ngoswele ukuqonda ngokuqhayisa; ndinyanzelwe nini. Kuba mna ndibe ndifanele ukuyalezwa nini; kuba andisilelanga nganto kubapostile abo baziincamisa, nakuba ndingento yanto.
12:12 Imiqondiso yokuba ngumpostile, inene, yasetyenzwa phakathi kwenu ngokunyamezela konke, ngemiqondiso, nezimanga, nemisebenzi yamandla.
12:13 Kuba yintoni na enasilela ngayo kwamanye amabandla kaThixo, ingekukuba mna ngokwam ndingabanga mthwalo kuni? Ndixoleleni oko kungalungisi.
12:14 Yabonani, sendilungele ukuza kuni okwesithathu; ndaye ndingayi kuba mthwalo kuni; kuba andifuni zinto zenu, ndifuna nina. Kuba asingabantwana abafanele ukuqwebela abazali, ngabazali abafanele ukuqwebela abantwana.
12:15 Mna ke, kuya kuba mnandi kakhulu ukuba ndichithe, ndidleke kuphele, ngenxa yemiphefumlo yenu; nakuba okukhona ndinithandayo kakhulu, kokukhona ndithandwa kancinane.
12:16 Kungade kube kunjalo, mna kambe andibanga mthwalo kuni; mandibe, ndinobuqhetseba nje, ndisuke ndanibambisa ngenkohliso.
12:17 Kukho mntu na ke kwabo ndabathumayo kuni, endanidlayo ngaye?
12:18 Ndamyala uTito, ndathuma umzalwana lowo kunye naye. Wanidla na ke uTito? Asihambanga moyeni mnye, yini na? Asihambanga mkhondo mnye, yini na?
12:19 Niyawaseniba siyaziphendulela kusini na kuni? Sithetha phambi kukaThixo, sikuKristu; sizithetha zonke ke izinto ezo, zintanda, ngenxa yokwakheka kwenu.
12:20 Kuba ndiyoyika, hleze ndithi ndakufika, ndinifumane ningenjengendikuthandayo, nam ndifunyanwe nini ndingenjengenikuthandayo; hleze kubekho iinkani, amakhwele, imisindo, amayelenqe, iintlebendwane, iintsebezo, iinkukhumalo, iziphithiphithi;
12:21 hleze ndithi, ndakufika kunjalo, andithobe uThixo wam phakathi kwenu, ndize ndikhedame ngenxa yabaninzi ababesebonile, abaguquka ekungcoleni, nasembulweni, naseburheletyweni ababenzayo.
13:1 Oku kokwesithathu ndisiza kuni. Onke amazwi aya kumiswa ngomlomo wamangqina amabini, nokuba mathathu.
13:2 Sendixele kade, ndixela ngenxa engaphambili, njengoko ndandikho okwesibini, nanjengoku ndingekhoyo ngoku, ndibaxelela abo bone kade, nabanye bonke, okokuba xa ndithe ndabuya ndafika, andiyi kubaconga;
13:3 ekubeni nifuna isiganeko sokuthetha kukaKristu phakathi kwam, ongaswele amandla ngokusingisele kuni, onamandla phakathi kwenu.
13:4 Kuba, nakuba wabethelelwayo emnqamlezweni ngokwasekusweleni amandla, udla ubomi ngokwasemandleni kaThixo. Kuba nathi siswele amandla kuye, noko siya kudla ubomi naye ngokwasemandleni kaThixo, ngokubhekisele kuni.
13:5 Zilingeni, ukuba niselukholweni olu na; zicikideni ngokwenu. Okanye anizazi na ukuba uYesu Kristu ungaphakathi kwenu? ukuba okunene aningabo abo bangenakucikideka.
13:6 Ndiyathemba ke ukuba niyakwazi, ukuba asingabo abo bangenakucikideka thina.
13:7 Ndithandaza ke kuye uThixo, ukuba ningenzi nanye into embi; kungekuko ukuze sibonakale sicikidekile thina, ikukuze nenze into entle nina, ke thina sibe njengabangenakucikideka.
13:8 Kuba asinakwenza nto ngokuchasa inyaniso; sinokwenzela inyaniso.
13:9 Kuba siyavuya, xa sukuba singenamandla thina, nibe nina ninamandla; sithandazela nokuthandazela oku ke, ukuba nigqibelele ukulunga.
13:10 Ngenxa yoko ndibhala ezi zinto ndingekho, ukuze ndingathi, ndakuba ndikho, ndenze kabukhali ngokwegunya, endalinikwa yiNkosi ukuba libe lelokwakha, lingabi lelokuchitha.
13:11 Elokugqiba, bazalwana, ndithi, Vuyani, zilungiseni nigqibelele, thuthuzelekani, cingani nto-nye, zolani; wothi ke uThixo wothando noxolo abe nani.
13:12 Bulisanani ngolwango olungcwele.
13:13 Bayanibulisa bonke abangcwele aba.
13:14 Ubabalo lweNkosi uYesu Kristu, nothando lukaThixo, nodlelano loMoya oyiNgcwele, malube nani nonke. Amen.

COSATU Khayelitsha, The Treatment Action Campaign, the Social Justice Coalition and Equal Education have for years worked seriously in Khayelitsha and elsewhere. We have never advocated stone-throwing or promoted violence. Our members work patiently, educate themselves and build local leadership to change the system of inequality. We ask all progressive people in churches, clinics, schools, universities, homes, and local organisations (in Khayelitsha and elsewhere) to distance themselves from mindless violence and calls for chaos that harm the poor and working class and their organisations.
(Xhosa version also available)
Joint statement from COSATU Khayelitsha, Treatment Action Campaign, Social Justice Coalition and Equal Education.
1. The need for mass organisation to overcome social inequality has never been greater.
2. In 1994 African and Coloured poor and working-class townships and rural areas celebrated freedom from White rule. The hope that hunger, unemployment, the bucket toilet system, apartheid education and homelessness would be addressed as a permanent priority of government lived in people’s hearts. It was hoped that health services would be improved and income inequality reduced.
3. We know that freedom has brought many improvements. Millions of people gained access to welfare grants, water, homes and clinics. We can march peacefully to our elected Parliament without being shot. We can join unions and organisations. We can go to the courts against evictions and for HIV treatment. These are some of the great gains that we must defend and advance. But the government has not made the needs of urban and rural working-class and poor people its priority.
4. Twenty years after the release of President Mandela and his comrades, and the unbanning of the ANC, and sixteen years after political freedom, income inequality is worse than ever before. More people than ever have no jobs, the indignity of the bucket system and toilets in the bushes continues, and education inequality and ill-health remain a part of the system of government and South African capitalism. As a result our sons and daughters turn to alcoholism, drugs and crime. They terrorise their families, neighbours and communities.
5. Meanwhile black and white capitalists, ex-homeland bureaucrats and other elements of a predatory elite are using the ANC to take the wealth of the country for themselves and keep it from poor and working-class communities. At local, provincial and national level, government protects and promotes corrupt, lazy and incompetent “managers”. The bosses have the greatest freedom capitalists have ever had in South Africa and pay the lowest taxes.
6. People are angry across our country and in every community. Anger is justified because government is abusing our trust and vote. Many people say: “Life cannot continue in this way.” Others take to the streets in protest that sometimes turns violent. We know that mindless violence and chaos have never brought freedom, decent jobs and a better life. Freedom and social equality comes through patient organisation, education and sustained struggle. It comes through building the collective power of communities.
7. The struggle for social equality and justice requires serious organisation and a clear programme for change. It requires collective leadership with the understanding required to lead millions of people over years, not a few hundred who throw stones for a few days and become cannon-fodder for self-appointed leaders.
8. Most people in Khayelitsha do not have decent jobs. Almost half are unemployed or are in casualised and badly paid domestic, shop and service work. In Khayelitsha there is a small middle-class comprising teachers, book-keepers and nurses most of whom support large unemployed families. The majority of people in Khayelitsha are supported by these remittances, welfare grants and informal sector work such as taverns, fruit stalls and spazas. Almost everyone in Khayelitsha relies on taxis, buses and trains.
9. A few weeks ago Abahlali baseMjondolo Western Cape, supported by some elements of the ANC Youth League and other community organisations, called for a “general-strike of informal settlements” to bring production in factories and shops to a standstill. They proposed to make the City “ungovernable” and cause “chaos throughout the City”. They openly encouraged residents to burn tyres, block roads and throw stones and rubbish. This call is immature, ignorant and shows contempt for our communities. The poor and working-class people of Khayelitsha cannot advance their struggle in this way. To build their own power they need patient organisation and unity with people from Cape Town to Mitchell’s Plein, Gugulethu to Manenberg.
10. For more than two weeks now, the actions of Abahlali baseMjondolo Western Cape have punished poor and working-class people in Khayelitsha. They have encouraged the police to become a law unto themselves and have prevented services such as refuse collection and water maintenance. Ambulance and fire services - already over-stretched - could not reach affected areas, or had to deal with “barricades” and attacks from protestors hurling stones.
11. In the name of Abahlali baseMjondolo Western Cape, young unemployed people are being used to intimidate their communities but this has failed to bring anything to a “standstill”. At most it has inconvenienced and endangered workers and the unemployed who use public transport including many elderly people and motorists.
12. The irresponsible actions of Abahlali baseMjondolo Western Cape are helping the state to criminalise struggle and dissent. They are strengthening the attacks on working class organisations by Helen Zille, Dan Plato and the national government’s police, army and intelligence agencies; allowing them to use the argument of “maintaining law and order” while inequality remains unchanged. Working class people, informal traders and Khayelitsha residents need to be able to get to work and access services and hence many will sympathise with this call for “law and order”. In this way Abahlali’s false militancy divides the poor and working class and weakens organisation and real struggle.
13. COSATU Khayelitsha, The Treatment Action Campaign, the Social Justice Coalition and Equal Education have for years worked seriously in Khayelitsha and elsewhere. We have never advocated stone-throwing or promoted violence. Our members work patiently, educate themselves and build local leadership to change the system of inequality. We ask all progressive people in churches, clinics, schools, universities, homes, and local organisations (in Khayelitsha and elsewhere) to distance themselves from mindless violence and calls for chaos that harm the poor and working class and their organisations.

Masingavumeli ikhwelo laBahlali baseMjondolo lokuthi kubekho
ukungaziphathi kakuhle ekuhlaleni!
1. Imfuneko yokugaya abantu ngobuninzi babo inkulu kakhulu sizokuphelisa ukungalingani ezindaweni zethu zalapha kweli.
2. Ngonyaka ka 1994 uhlanga olumnyama oluhlala ezilokishini nasezilalini lwabhiyozela inkululeko kwingcinezelo yabamhlophe. Sasinethemba lokuba indlala, iithoyilethi zamabhakethi, imfundo yengcinezelo (Bantu Education), nokungabinamakhaya, zonke ezingxaki zokusonjulululwa ngu Rhulumente zibe phambili kwinqubo kaRhulumente. Sasithembe ukuba ezempilo ziyakuphuhla nokungalingani kwemirholo iyakuncitshiswa.
3. Siyazi ukuba inkululeko izise iinguqu ezininzi. Izigidi zabantu zifumana isibonelelo
sikaRhulumente, amanzi, izindlu neekliniki. Singamatsha ngocwangco nangoxolo sisisa amaxwebu ezikhalazo zethu e- Palamente singadutyulwa mntu. Siyakwazi ukuba yinxaleye yembumba yabasebenzi nabahlali. Singakwazi ukuya kwiinkundla zamatyala ngelikhaba ukugxothwa emihlabeni nakwindawo esihlala kuzo, kwakunye nokwenzela sifumane unyango lwentsholongwane ugawulwayo. Ezi zezinye zeempumelelo ekumele siziziphuhlise kwaye sizikhusele. Nangona uRhulumente angakhange azibeke phambili iimfuno zabantu abahlala ezilokishini, abasebenzi, nabantu abahluphekileyo.
4. Emva kweminyaka engamashumi amabini uMongameli u- Mandela namaqabane akhe bakhululeka entolongweni, neminyaka elushumi elinantandathu emva kwenkululeko, imirholo yabantu ayilingani ngakumbi kunangaphambili, uninzi lwabantu alunamisebenzi, ukuhliselwa kwesidima sabantu ngokunikwa amabhakethi ukuba bawasebenzise njengezindlu zangasese nokukuqhubekeka kwabantu abanganazi- thoyilethi ezizizo nabathi baye ngasese ematyholweni, nokungalingani kwemfundo nokuhlala phantsi kwempilo emaxongo, ezi zisaqhubeka ukuba ziingxaki esinazo kuRhulumente nobudlagusha eMzantsi Afrika. Iziphumo zezokuba oonyana neentombi zethu babhenele ebunxileni, kwiziyobisi, nakubundlobongela. Bahlukumeza amakhaya ethu, abamelwane nasekuhlaneni.
5. Noxanje Amadlagusha amnyama namhlophe eli, abo babephezulu kooRhulumente bangaphambili noohlohle sakhe basebenzisa lombutho we ANC ukuhlohla izisu zabo bathatha obubutyebi ezandleni zabantu abahluphekileyo nabazenzi. URhulumente ukhuthaza ekwakhusela abaphathi bakhe abanqenayo, abangazi ukusebenza nabanobuqhophololo. Ababaphathi baneyona inkululeko inkulu nawo lamadlagusha alapha kweli loMzantsi bekwabhatalwa eyona irhafu eyona yancinci.
6. Abantu beli banengqumbo. Lengqumbo inesizathu ikwavakala ngoba uRhulumente uyasihlukumeza, esidanisile kuba besimthembile wasiphoxa kwii- voti zethu. Uluntu oluninzi luthi “Ubomi abunokuqhubeka ngoluhlobo”. Abanye baya ezindleleni beyokutoyitoya bekhalaza okuthi ngamanye amaxesha ezitoyitoyi ziphela ngobundlobongela. Siyazi ukuba ubundlobongela nogxobhagxobho aluzange lwazisa nkululeko, imisebenzi engcono nobomi obungcono. Inkululeko ukulungana ekuhlaleni luza xa siqokolelana ngononophelo nokuthozama sibe zimbumba, sifundisana sikwazabalaza singajiki. Iza ngokubumba sakhe sibe namandla ekuhlaleni.
7. Umzabalazo wokungalingani ngokwentlalo yoluntu lufuna uzicwangciso eziqinisekileyo nenkqubo yotshintsho lufuna isikhokelo esiluqilima nesikwazi ukukhokela izigidingezigidi zabantu hayi igcuntswana, elizimisele ukugxobhagxobha inzame zabantu zokulwela impilo engcono ngokuthi igibisele amatye kwintsuku ezimbalwa bengenazinjongo eziphucukileyo bekwasetyenziswa ngabobazityumbileyo bucala ukuba bebezinkokheli bengameli’imfuno zokuhlala.
8. Uninzilwabantu eKhayelitsha alunamisebenzi kwaye nabobanimesebenzi basebenza kwiindawo ezingaphucukanga nezingabhatala imali engekhosegangathweni njengonookhitshi kunyenabobasenza ezivenkiileni. Apha eKhayelitsha sinalo igcuntswana labobaphangela ngcono nabaxhasa abo bangaphangeliyo kumakhaya abo. Uninzi loluntu eKhayelitsha luxhaswangesibonelelo sikaRhulumente kunye nosomashishini basekuhlaleni njengonozimokolo nonomarike. EKhayelitsha uninzi lwabantu lusebenzisa izithuthi zikawonkewonke ukuya emisebenzini.
9. Kwiiveki ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo umbutho obizwaAbahlalibaseMjondolo kwelileNtshonaKoloni, bencediswa ngabambalwa abazibiza njengamalungu e- ANCYL, baye bahlaba ukhwelo oluthi “uqhankqalazo ematyotyombeni” besithi bafuna “yonke into ime ngxi kwaye neemisebenzi neevenkile zingasebenzi”. Bathi bafuna isixeko “singalawuleki” kwaye bagrogrisa “ngokugxobhagxoba kusosonke
isixeko”.Bakhuthazengokuphandle abahlali ukuba batshise amavili emoto, bavale imigaqo, begibisela amatye kwaye bechitha inkukuma endleleni. Elikhwelo alincedi kwaye libonisa ukungakhatheleli abahlali. Abahlali baseKhayelitsha abanakulwela impilo engcono ngoluhlobo.
10. Kungapha kweeveki ezimbini ngoku, izenzo zeqela laBahlalibaseMjondolo kwelileNtshonaKoloni bangcungcuthekisa abantu abahluphekayo eKhayelitsha, ezizenzo zenze abakwantsasana babengqwabalala ebantwini kwaye bavalela ukuqhubekeka kweenkonzo zikaRhulumente ekuhlaleni.
11. Egameni laBahlalibaseMjondolo eNtshonaKoloni, ulutsha olunganamisebenzi lusetyenziswa ukugrogrisa nokungcungcuthekisa abantu bokuhlala. Kodwa konke oku khangekuphumelisento ngoba izinto ekuhlaleni zangezimengxi! Eyona nto iyenzileyo kuphazamisa kwaye, bebeka ubomi babasebenzi nabantu abasebenzisa izithuthi zika wonkewonke esichengeni. Lonto ichaphazele neengwevu nabaqhubizithuthi.
12. Ukungakhathali nobundlobongela baBahlali BaseMjondolo baseMpuma Koloni anceda uRhulumente ukuba awutshutshise njengesihange umzalabalazo wethu nabathi bangavumelani naye. Baqinisa uhlaselo lwemibutho yabahluphekileyo nabasebenzi ngabantu abanjengo Helen Zille, Dan Plato, amapolisa, amajoni noongqondongqondo bakaRhulumente, bebavumela ukuba basebenzise iintetho ezithi “baqinisikisa ukuba kukho ucwangco nomthetho” noxa nje ukungalingani kungakatshintshwa. Abahlali abaninzi, abathengisi, nabasenzi baseKhayelitsha bafuneka bephangele befumene neenkonzo zikaRhulumente bakuye bavumelane nesimemezo “soncwangco nomthetho”. Ngoluhlobo ubugagu obungewuwo baBahlali BaseMjondolo bohlula abantu bethu betyhafisa imbumba yabantu nomzabalazo.
13. Imibutho U COSATU Khayelitsha, Treatment Action Campaign, Social Justice Coalition no Equal Education basenze iminyaka ngokuzimisela e-Khayelitsha nakwezinye iindawo. Asizange zakhupha isimemo sokukhuthaza ubundlobongela nokuxulutywa kwamatye. Sisebenza sinesineke, gokuzifundisa ngomzabalazo, nokwakhwa uqilima lwenkokheli zasekuhlaleni sizokutshintsha ukungalingani kweli. Simema sibongonza bonke abantu abanengqubela abazezinkonzweni, ezikliniki, ezikolweni, ezidyunivesiti, emakhaya, kwimibutho yokuhlala ukuba bachasele kubundlobongongela nesimemezo zokumosha esonakalisa abahluphekileyo nendawo zabo kunye nemibutho yabo.

Ngaba ungathanda ukufunda eli nqaku ngolu lwimi:
14 Ngelo xesha uAbhiya unyana kaYerobhoham wagula.+
2 Ngoko uYerobhoham wathi emfazini wakhe: “Nceda, uvuke, uze uzenze mntu wumbi+ ukuze bangakwazi ukuba ungumfazi kaYerobhoham, uze uye eShilo. Khangela! Ulapho umprofeti uAhiya.+ Nguye owathetha ngokubhekisele kum njengoza kuba ngukumkani phezu kwesi sizwana.+
3 Uze uthabathe esandleni sakho izonka ezilishumi+ nemiqhathane neselwa lobusi,+ ungene kuye.+ Nguye oya kukuxelela ngokuqinisekileyo okuza kwenzeka enkwenkweni.”+
4 Wenjenjalo ke umfazi kaYerobhoham. Ngenxa yoko wavuka waya eShilo+ wafika endlwini ka-Ahiya. Ke kaloku uAhiya wayengaboni, ngenxa yokuba amehlo akhe ayenorhatyazo ngenxa yobudala.+
5 Yaye uYehova wayethe kuAhiya: “Nanku umfazi kaYerobhoham esiza kuwe eze kucela ilizwi ngokubhekisele kunyana wakhe; kuba uyagula. Uze uthethe ngale ndlela naleya kuye. Yaye kuya kuthi kamsinya nje ekufikeni kwakhe, azenze angaqondakali.”+
6 Kwathi nje kamsinya akuva isandi seenyawo zakhe uAhiya njengoko wayengena emnyango, wathi: “Ngena, mfazi kaYerobhoham.+ Kutheni na wazenza awaqondakala ekubeni ndithunywe isigidimi esiqatha kuwe?
7 Hamba, uthi kuYerobhoham, ‘Naku okuthethwe nguYehova uTHIXO kaSirayeli: “Ngenxa yokuba ndikuphakamisile phakathi kwabantu bakowenu, ukuze ndikumise ube yinkokeli yabantu bam amaSirayeli,+
8 yaye ndabukrazula+ ubukumkani kwindlu kaDavide ndaza ndabunika wena, yaye akubanga njengomkhonzi wam uDavide owayigcinayo imiyalelo yam nowandilandela ngentliziyo yakhe yonke ngokwenza kuphela oko kulungileyo emehlweni am,+
9 kodwa wenza okubi ngakumbi kunabo bonke abo babengaphambi kwakho, wahamba waya kuzenzela omnye uthixo+ nemifanekiso etyhidiweyo+ ukuze undicaphukise,+ yaye undinikele umva;+
10 ngenxa yeso sizathu ndiyizisela intlekele indlu kaYerobhoham, yaye ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kunqumla kwaYerobhoham nabani na ochamela eludongeni,+ lowo ungeloncedo nongento yanto kwaSirayeli;+ yaye ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kuyitshayela indlu kaYerobhoham,+ kanye njengoko ubani esusa ubulongwe abulahle.+
11 OkaYerobhoham ofayo esixekweni, uya kudliwa zizinja;+ yaye ofela entsimini, uya kudliwa ziintaka zezulu,+ ngenxa yokuba ukuthethile oko uYehova.”’
12 “Yaye wena, vuka, uhambe uye endlwini yakho. Zakufika iinyawo zakho esixekweni ngokuqinisekileyo umntwana uya kufa.
13 Yaye wonke uSirayeli ngokuqinisekileyo uya kumenzela isijwili+ aze amngcwabe, ngenxa yokuba ngulo kuphela ongokaYerobhoham oya kusiwa kwindawo yokungcwaba; ngenxa yokuba kuye kufunyenwe okuthile okulungileyo kuYehova uThixo kaSirayeli endlwini kaYerobhoham.+
14 Ngokuqinisekileyo uYehova uya kuzivelisela ukumkani+ phezu koSirayeli oya kunqumla indlu kaYerobhoham ngaloo mini, kuthekani ukuba oko kuza kwenzeka kanye ngoku?+
15 Yaye eneneni uYehova uya kumxabela uSirayeli, kanye njengokuhexa kwengcongolo emanzini;+ ibe uya kumncothula+ ngokuqinisekileyo uSirayeli kulo mhlaba ulungileyo+ awawunika ookhokho bakhe, aze amchithachithe+ ngaphaya koMlambo,+ ngenxa yokuba ezenzele izibonda zakhe ezingcwele,+ ecaphukisa+ uYehova.
16 Yaye uya kumyeka uSirayeli+ ngenxa yezono zikaYerobhoham one ngazo namonise ngazo uSirayeli.”+
17 Waphakama ke umfazi kaYerobhoham wemka waya kufika eTirtsa.+ Ekufikeni kwakhe embundwini wendlu, yafa inkwenkwe.
18 Ngoko bayingcwaba, wonke uSirayeli wayenzela isijwili, ngokwelizwi likaYehova awalithethayo ngomkhonzi wakhe uAhiya umprofeti.
19 Eminye imicimbi kaYerobhoham, indlela awalwa ngayo+ nawalawula ngayo, nantso ibhalwe+ encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli.
20 UYerobhoham walawula iminyaka engamashumi amabini anesibini, emva koko walala kookhokho bakhe;+ uNadabhi+ unyana wakhe walawula esikhundleni sakhe.
21 Ke yena uRehobhoham+ unyana kaSolomon, waba ngukumkani wakwaYuda. URehobhoham wayeneminyaka engamashumi amane ananye ubudala ukuqalisa kwakhe ukulawula, yaye iminyaka elishumi elinesixhenxe walawula eYerusalem, isixeko+ awasinyulayo uYehova kuzo zonke izizwe+ zakwaSirayeli ukuze alibeke khona igama lakhe.+ Kwaye igama likanina lalinguNahama umAmonikazi.+
22 Yaye uYuda waqhubeka esenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova,+ waza wamenza+ waba nekhwele ngaphezu kokuba ookhokho bakhe benzayo ngezono zabo ababone ngazo.+
23 Naye waqhubeka ezakhela iindawo eziphakamileyo,+ iintsika ezingcwele+ nezibonda ezingcwele+ phezu kwazo zonke iinduli eziphakamileyo+ naphantsi kwayo yonke imithi enabileyo.+
24 Kwabakho namahenyu asetempileni elizweni.+ Wenza ngokuvisisana nazo zonke izinto ezicekisekayo zeentlanga awazigxothayo uYehova phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli.+
25 Kwathi ngonyaka wesihlanu kaKumkani uRehobhoham uShishaki+ ukumkani waseYiputa waphuma nxamnye neYerusalem.
26 Wabuthabatha ubuncwane bendlu kaYehova nobuncwane bendlu kakumkani;+ wathabatha yonke into.+ Wathabatha nawo onke amakhaka egolide awayenziwe nguSolomon.+
27 Ngenxa yoko uKumkani uRehobhoham wenza amakhaka obhedu esikhundleni sawo, waza wawanikela ukuba alawulwe ziintloko zeembaleki,+ abalindi bomnyango wendlu kakumkani.+
28 Yaye ngokufuthi kangangoko wayesiza ukumkani endlwini kaYehova, iimbaleki ziwathwale, ziwabuyisele kwigumbi labalindi beembaleki.+
29 Eminye imicimbi kaRehobhoham nako konke awakwenzayo, akubhalwanga na encwadini+ yemicimbi yamaxesha ookumkani bakwaYuda?
30 Kwakusoloko kukho imfazwe phakathi koRehobhoham noYerobhoham.+
31 Ekugqibeleni uRehobhoham walala kookhokho bakhe waza wangcwatywa nookhokho bakhe kwisiXeko sikaDavide.+ Yaye igama likanina lalinguNahama umAmonikazi.+ Waza uAbhiyam+ unyana wakhe walawula esikhundleni sakhe.

ISIERRA LEONE NEGUINEA
Sasizimisele Ukukhonza UYehova
UPhilip Tengbeh
WAZALWA Ngo-1966
WABHAPTIZWA Ngo-1997
INGXELO YOBOMI Yimbacu eyancedisa ekwakhiweni kweeHolo zoBukumkani ezintlanu.
MNA NENKOSIKAZI yam uSatta, sabaleka amajoni avukel’ umbuso ngo-1991, njengoko ayesonakalisa idolophu yethu iKoindu, eSierra Leone. Ebudeni beminyaka esibhozo eyalandelayo, sahlala kwiinkampu zeembacu ezahlukeneyo. Kuzo sanyamezela ukunqongophala kokutya, izigulo kunye nendlela embi ababeziphethe ngayo abanye abasenkampini.
Kwinkampu nganye esasikuyo, sasicela abasemagunyeni ukuba basinike umhlaba wokwakha iHolo yoBukumkani. Ngamanye amaxesha sasiwufumana, kodwa ngamanye singawufumani. Sekunjalo, sasisoloko silungiselela indawo eziza kuqhutyelwa kuyo iintlanganiso. Sasizimisele ukukhonza uYehova. Kwezo nkampu, saphela sisakha iiHolo zoBukumkani ezine.
Ekupheleni kwemfazwe, sasingakwazi ukugoduka. Ngenxa yeemfazwe eziqhube kangangeminyaka, iKoindu yayisele ingamabhodlo. Ngoko sathunyelwa kwenye inkampu yeembacu kufuphi neBo. Ngenkxaso yemali esayifumana kwiofisi yesebe, sakha iHolo yoBukumkani yesihlanu.

Ukujamelana Nentlungu Yokufelwa Liqabane
IBHAYIBHILE itsho phandle ukuba: Indoda ifanele imthande umfazi wayo ‘njengoko izithanda.’ Naye umfazi umele abe “nentlonelo enzulu ngendoda yakhe.” Bobabini bamele baziphumeze iimbopheleleko zabo ‘benyama-nye.’ (Efe. 5:33; Gen. 2:23, 24) Ekuhambeni kwexesha ulwalamano lwabo luyomelela, ngokunjalo nothando lwabo. Kanye njengeengcambu zemithi emibini ekhula ndawonye, iimvakalelo zesibini esonwabileyo emtshatweni ziyabophana.
Kodwa kuthekani ukuba elinye iqabane liyafa? Kaloku olo lwalamano lomeleleyo nobelungahlukaniswa nto, luyaphela. Iqabane eliphilayo lisenokusala lisentlungwini, lililolo, de maxa wambi lizive linetyala okanye linomsindo. Ukutyhubela umtshato wakhe weminyaka eyi-58, uDaniella wayesazi abantu abaninzi abaphulukene namaqabane abo. * Kodwa emva kokusweleka komyeni wakhe wathi: “Ndandingayiqondi le meko ngaphambili. Akunakuyiqonda de ikwehlele.”
INTLUNGU EBONAKALA INGAPHELI
Abanye abaphandi bathi alukho uxinezeleko olungaphezu kokufelwa liqabane elithandekayo. Abantu abaninzi abafelwe ngamaqabane bayavumelana nala mazwi. UMillie waswelekelwa ngumyeni wakhe kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo. Xa echaza ubomi bakhe njengomhlolokazi uthi, “Ndivakalelwa kukuba akusekho yam.” Wayezama ukuchaza iimvakalelo zakhe emva kokuswelekelwa ngumyeni wakhe weminyaka eyi-25.
USusan wayekade ecinga ukuba abahlolokazi ababa buhlungu ixesha elide emva kokufelwa ngabayeni babo bayazibaxa izinto. Ngoku sele kudlule iminyaka eyi-20 eswelekelwe ngumyeni wakhe weminyaka eyi-38, kodwa usathi, “Ndimcinga yonke imihla.” Maxa wambi iinyembezi zisuka zizehlele ngenxa yokumkhumbula.
IBhayibhile iyangqina ukuba intlungu yokufelwa liqabane iyamngcungcuthekisa umntu yaye ithatha ixesha. Xa kwafa uSara, umyeni wakhe “uAbraham waya kumenzela isijwili uSara, wamlilela.” (Gen. 23:1, 2) Nakuba wayenokholo kwithemba lovuko, uAbraham waba buhlungu gqitha xa wafelwa liqabane lakhe. (Heb. 11:17-19) Emva kokufa komfazi wakhe othandekayo uRakeli, uYakobi akazange akhawuleze amlibale. Wayethetha kakuhle ngaye kubantwana bakhe.—Gen. 44:27; 48:7.
Sinokufunda ntoni kule mizekelo yeZibhalo? Maxa wambi abahlolo nabahlolokazi baba buhlungu kangangeminyaka. Asifanele sijonge iinyembezi nentlungu yabo njengobuthathaka, kunoko simele sizijonge njengomphumo wokufelwa ngumntu abamthandayo. Basenokufuna uvelwano nenkxaso yethu kangangexesha elide.
NYAMEZELA
Xa umntu eswelekelwa liqabane, ubomi abusuki bubuyele kwindlela obabuyiyo ngaphambi kokuba atshate. Emva kweminyaka betshatile, indoda idla ngokukwazi ukuthuthuzela umkayo ize imkhuthaze. Xa ingasekho, olo thando nentuthuzelo bezifunyanwa ngumfazi azisekho. Ngokufanayo, njengokuba ixesha lihamba umfazi uye afunde indlela yokwenza indoda yakhe izive ikhuselekile yaye yonwabile. Ayikho into enokuthelekiswa nendlela ayibamba ngayo, amazwi ayikhuthaza ngawo, nokunikela kwakhe ingqalelo kwizinto indoda yakhe enomdla kuzo neemfuno zayo. Ukuba uyafa, indoda inokuziva ingento yanto. Ngenxa yoko, bambi abaswelekelwe ngamaqabane baye balixhalabele ikamva, de baloyike. Yiyiphi imigaqo yeBhayibhile enokubanceda bafumane ukhuseleko noxolo?
“Ngoko, musani ukuxhalela ingomso, kuba ingomso liya kuba namaxhala alo. Imini nganye inobayo ububi obuyilingeneyo.” (Mat. 6:34) La mazwi kaYesu abhekisela ngokuthe ngqo kwiintswelo zomntu zokuphila, kodwa aye anceda abaninzi bakwazi ukunyamezela intlungu yokufelwa. Emva kweenyanga ezithile eswelekelwe ngumfazi wakhe, uCharles wabhala wathi: “Indlela endimkhumbula ngayo umfazi wam ayinakuthelekiswa nanto, ibe ngamanye amaxesha iba ngathi ithe chatha. Noko ke, ndiye ndaqonda ukuba oku kuqhelekile ibe ngokuhamba kwexesha intlungu yam iza kude ibe bhetele.”
UCharles kwaye kwafuneka alinde kudlule ixesha. Wakwenza njani oku? Uthi: “Ngoncedo lukaYehova ndakwazi ukunyamezela.” UCharles akazange akhathazeke ngokugqithiseleyo. Intlungu yakhe zange ivele iphele ngokukhawuleza, kodwa naye akazange anikezele kuyo. Ukuba uphulukene neqabane, zabalazela ukunyamezela suku ngalunye olufikayo. Akuyazi ingenelo nokhuthazo oza kulufumana ngomso.
Ukufa kwakungeyonjongo kaYehova yantlandlolo. Kunoko, kubekho ngenxa ‘yemisebenzi kaMtyholi.’ (1 Yoh. 3:8; Roma 6:23) USathana usebenzisa ukufa noloyiko olubangelwa kuko ukuze agcine abantu bengamakhoboka angenathemba. (Heb. 2:14, 15) Kuthi ngco kuSathana xa umntu ephelelwa lithemba lokufumana ulonwabo lokwenene nolwaneliseko nkqu nakwihlabathi elitsha likaThixo. Ngoko intlungu eviwa liqabane eliswelekelweyo ngumphumo wesono sika-Adam nemvukelo kaSathana. (Roma 5:12) UYehova uya kuwulungisa wonke umonakalo owenziwe nguSathana, aze oyise isixhobo sikaSathana esikhohlakeleyo, ukufa. Abo bakhululwe kuloyiko olusetyenziswa nguSathana baya kuquka abaninzi abaphulukene namaqabane abo ekufeni, njengawe.
Ubomi kwihlabathi elitsha buya kuza neenguqu kwabo bavusiweyo. Cinga nje ngabazali, ooMakhulu nooTatomkhulu kunye nookhokho abaya kuvuswa baze bafezeke ngokuthe ngcembe kunye nabantwana nabazukulwana babo. Imiphumo yokwaluphala iya kube ingekho. Ngaba abasebatsha kuya kufuneka babajonge ngenye indlela ookhokho babo? Ngaba asikholelwa ukuba ezi nguqu ziya kunceda ekuphuculeni intsapho engabantu?
Sisenokuba nemibuzo emininzi ngabo baza kuvuswa. Ngokomzekelo, kuza kwenzeka ntoni ngabo baphulukene namaqabane aliqela? AbaSadusi bakha babuza uYesu ngomfazi owafelwa ngumyeni wakhe wokuqala, nowesibini, de baba liqela. (Luka 20:27-33) Baza kuba naluphi ulwalamano eluvukweni? Asazi, ibe akukho sizathu sakuzihlupha ngaloo nto. Sifanele nje sithembele kuThixo. Nantsi into esiqiniseke ngayo—nantoni na uYehova aya kuyenza iya kusilungela, ibe kunokuba soyike simele singalahli ithemba.
ITHEMBA LOVUKO—UMTHOMBO WENTUTHUZELO
Enye yezona mfundiso zicacileyo zeLizwi likaThixo yeyokuba abafileyo baza kuvuswa. Iingxelo zeBhayibhile zabantu abavuswayo ziyasiqinisekisa ukuba ‘bonke abo bakumangcwaba enkumbulo baza kuliva ilizwi likaYesu baze baphume.’ (Yoh. 5:28, 29) Abantu abaya kube bephila ngeloo xesha baya kuba nemincili njengoko bebona abo bakhululwe ekufeni. Kwelinye icala, uvuyo lwabo aluyi kuthatha nto kolwabo bavusiweyo.
Njengoko kuvuswa abafileyo, umhlaba uya kuzaliswa luvuyo olungazange lwakhona. Inyambalala yabantu abavusiweyo iya kuphinda idle ubomi emhlabeni. (Marko 5:39-42; ISityhi. 20:13) Ukucamngca ngalo mmangaliso uza kwenzeka kumele kubathuthuzele abo baphulukene nabantu babo ekufeni.
Ngaba uya kubakho umntu oya kuba nesizathu sokukhathazeka xa kuvuswa abafileyo? IBhayibhile ithi akunjalo. Incwadi kaIsaya 25:8 ithi uYehova “uya kuginya ukufa ngonaphakade.” Oku kuquka ukususa ngokupheleleyo imiphumo yokufa, kuba esi siprofeto siqhubeka sithi: “INkosi enguMongami uYehova ngokuqinisekileyo iya kosula iinyembezi ebusweni bonke.” Ukuba ngoku ubuhlungu ngenxa yokufelwa liqabane lakho, ngokuqinisekileyo uvuko luya kukunika isizathu sovuyo.
Akakho umntu okuqonda ngokupheleleyo konke oko uThixo aya kukuphumeza kwihlabathi elitsha. UYehova uthi: “Njengoko amazulu ephakamile kunomhlaba, ngokunjalo neendlela zam ziphakamile kuneendlela zenu, neengcamango zam kuneengcamango zenu.” (Isa. 55:9) Isithembiso sikaYesu sovuko sisivulela ithuba lokuthembela kuYehova, njengoAbraham. Ngoku, mKristu ngamnye umele enze konke oko uYehova akufunayo kuthi aze ‘abalelwe ekuthini ufanelwe kukuzuza loo nkqubo yezinto’ kunye nabo baza kuvuswa.—Luka 20:35.
ISIZATHU SETHEMBA
Endaweni yokuxhalaba, hlakulela ithemba. Ebantwini, ikamva likhangeleka limfiliba. Kodwa uYehova usinika ithemba lento engcono. Nakuba singayazi indlela uYehova aya kuzanelisa ngayo zonke iintswelo neminqweno yethu, asimele sithandabuze ukuba uza kuzanelisa. Umpostile uPawulos wathi: “Ithemba elibonwayo asilothemba, kuba xa umntu eyibona into, ngaba usenethemba layo na? Kodwa ukuba sinethemba loko singakuboniyo, sihlala sikulinde ngonyamezelo.” (Roma 8:24, 25) Ukuthembela ngokupheleleyo kwizithembiso zikaThixo kuya kusinceda sinyamezele. Ngokunyamezela, uya kulixhamla elo kamva lizukileyo uYehova ‘aya kukunika lona ngokwesicelo sentliziyo yakho.’ Uya kwanelisa “umnqweno wayo yonke into ephilayo.”—INdu. 37:4; 145:16; Luka 21:19.
Xa kwakusondele ixesha lokufa kukaYesu, abafundi bakhe babekhathazekile. UYesu wabathuthuzela ngala mazwi: “Ningazivumeli iintliziyo zenu zikhathazeke. Bonisani ukholo kuThixo, bonisani ukholo nakum.” Emva koko wathi: “Andiyi kunishiya nilahlekelwe. Ndiyeza kuni.” (Yoh. 14:1-4, 18, 27) La mazwi ayeza kunceda abalandeli bakhe abathanjisiweyo babe nethemba yaye banyamezele kangangeminyaka. Nabo balangazelela ukubona abantu babo eluvukweni abanasizathu sakulahlekelwa lithemba. UYehova noNyana wakhe abayi kubashiya beselusizini. Unokuqiniseka ngaloo nto!

WASHINGTON —
Ekuqhubekeni kwengxaki ezilokhu zisibakhona ekulotshweni kwemihloliso ye Ordinary le Advanced level eZimbabwe, kulombalisi obikwa ebotshiweyo koBulawayo esetheswa icala lokubhalela umntwana wesikolo umhloliso.
Ngakwelinye icele, abazali be St. Peters Kubatana High School eHarare bacitshe batshaya umphathisikolo ngokwalela abantwana ukuthi belobe imihloliso ngaphandle kwembadalo. uhulumende uthi akufanelanga kube lomntwana ovinjwa ukuloba imihloliso lanxa engabhadalanga.
Omunye umbalisi usanda kubotshwa kumaviki ambalwa edluleyo kodwa wakhululwa, ngemva kokulahlekelwa ngamaphepha emihloliso ye “O” level ayehambe lawo emzini wakhe.
UMnu. Enock Paradzai, isiphathamandla senhlanganiso ye Progressive Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe, utshele uSithandekile Mhlanga weStudio 7 ukuthi lanxa kulengxaki, imihloliso iqhubeka kakuhle.

Ukungathathi Cala Kwihlabathi Elahluleleneyo
“Buyiselani . . . izinto zikaThixo kuThixo.”—MATEYU 22:21.
IINGOMA: 33, 137
1. Singamthobela njani uThixo kunye noorhulumente babantu?
IBHAYIBHILE isifundisa ukuba sibathobele oorhulumente babantu, kodwa ikwathi masihlale sithobela uThixo. (IZenzo 5:29; Tito 3:1) Kungenzeka njani oko? UYesu wasinika umgaqo osincedayo sazi ukuba ngubani esimele simthobele. Wathi simele sibuyisele “izinto zikaKesare kuKesare, kodwa izinto zikaThixo kuThixo.” [1] (Jonga umbhalo osekugqibeleni.) (Mateyu 22:21) Sibuyisela “izinto zikaKesare kuKesare” xa sithobela imithetho karhulumente, xa sihlonela amagosa karhulumente, naxa sihlawula irhafu. (Roma 13:7) Kodwa xa urhulumente esiyalela ukuba senze into uThixo angayifuniyo, asivumi. Sekunjalo, oko sisoloko sikwenza ngentlonelo.
2. Sibonisa njani ukuba asithathi cala kwezopolitiko?
2 Enye indlela esibuyisela ngayo “izinto zikaThixo kuThixo” kukungathathi cala kwiipolitiki zeli hlabathi. (Isaya 2:4) Ekubeni uYehova ebavumele oorhulumente babantu ukuba balawule, asibachasi. Kwakhona, asibandakanyeki kuyo nantoni na enento yokwenza nomoya wobuzwe. (Roma 13:1, 2) Asizami kutshintsha oorhulumente, okanye siphembelele iinkokeli zopolitiko, yaye asivoti okanye singenele ezopolitiko.
3. Kutheni simele singathathi cala?
3 Zininzi izizathu zokuba uThixo athi masingathathi cala. Esinye sazo kukuba sixelisa uYesu, owayengeyiyo ‘inxalenye yehlabathi.’ Akazange abandakanyeke kwiipolitiki okanye iimfazwe. (Yohane 6:15; 17:16) Esinye kukuba sixhasa uBukumkani bukaThixo. Ekubeni singaxhasi nabaphi na oorhulumente babantu, sishumayela sinesazela esikhululekileyo xa sisithi buBukumkani bukaThixo kuphela obuya kuzilungisa zonke iingxaki zoluntu. Unqulo lobuxoki luthabatha inxaxheba kwezopolitiko, yaye oku kuyabahlukanisa abantu. Kodwa ekubeni thina singathathi cala, simanyene nabazalwana noodadewethu abasehlabathini lonke.—1 Petros 2:17.
4. (a) Sazi njani ukuba kuseza kuba nzima ukungathathi cala? (b) Kutheni simele siziqeqeshe kwangoku ukuhlala singathathi cala?
4 Kusenokwenzeka ukuba sihlala kwindawo apho abantu bengalindelanga ukuba sithathe icala kwezopolitiko. Kodwa njengoko sisiya sisondela ekupheleni kwenkqubo yezinto kaSathana, kuza kuya kusiba nzima ukungathathi cala. Namhlanje abantu sele ‘bengayifuni kwaphela imvisiswano yaye baneentloko ezilukhuni,’ ibe baseza kwahlukana nangakumbi. (2 Timoti 3:3, 4) Abanye kubazalwana bethu sele bechatshazelwa kukutshintsha ngokukhawuleza kweemeko zopolitiko kumazwe abo. Yiloo nto simele siziqeqeshe kwangoku ukuze singathathi cala enoba kungavela imeko enzima kangakanani. Makhe sithethe ngezinto ezine ezinokusinceda.
BAJONGE OORHULUMENTE NGENDLELA UYEHOVA ABAJONGA NGAYO
5. UYehova ubajonga njani oorhulumente babantu?
5 Enye indlela yokuziqeqesha ukuba sihlale singathathi cala, kukubajonga oorhulumente babantu ngendlela uYehova abajonga ngayo. UYehova akazange abanike igunya lokuzilawula abantu xa wabadalayo. (Yeremiya 10:23) Bonke abantu ubajonga njengentsapho enye. Kodwa oorhulumente baye babahlukanisa abantu, kuba besithi olwabo uhlanga lubhetele. Naxa oorhulumente bebonakala belungile, abakwazi ukulungisa zonke iingxaki zabantu. Baye bazingqina beziintshaba zoBukumkani bukaThixo, obuqalise ukulawula ukususela ngo-1914. Kungekudala, obu Bukumkani buya kubatshayela bonke oorhulumente babantu.—Funda iNdumiso 2:2, 7-9.
Ziqeqeshe kwangoku ukungathathi cala enoba kungavela imeko enzima
6. Simele sibaphathe njani abo banegunya eburhulumenteni?
6 UThixo ubavumele oorhulumente babantu ukuba baqhubeke bekho, kuba bagcina uxolo nocwangco. Oku kusinceda sishumayele iindaba ezilungileyo zoBukumkani bukaThixo. (Roma 13:3, 4) UThixo ude athi masibathandazele abo basemagunyeni ukuze simkhonze ngoxolo. (1 Timoti 2:1, 2) Xa singaphathwa kakuhle sinokucela uncedo lwabasemagunyeni. Wenza kanye oko uPawulos. (IZenzo 25:11) Nakuba iBhayibhile isithi uSathana ngumlawuli woorhulumente, ayitsho ukuba mntu ngamnye onegunya eburhulumenteni ulawulwa nguye. (Luka 4:5, 6) Ngoko asimele sithi mntu uthile eburhulumenteni ulawulwa nguMtyholi. IBhayibhile ithi asimele sithethe kakubi ngabanye.—Tito 3:1, 2.
7. Yiyiphi indlela yokucinga esimele siyiphephe?
7 Sithobela uThixo ngokungaxhasi nawuphi na umlawuli okanye iqela lezopolitiko, naxa izimvo zabo zisenokuba luncedo kuthi. Kusenokungasoloko kulula oku. Ngokomzekelo, khawube nombono wabantu bevukela urhulumente oye wabangela ukubandezeleka ebantwini, kuquka namaNgqina kaYehova. Ewe kona, usenokungafaki sandla kuloo mvukelo, kodwa ngaba ubuya kucinga ukuba abo bavukeli benza into efanelekileyo, uze ubanqwenelele impumelelo? (Efese 2:2) Ukuba asifuni kuthatha cala, asimele sivakalelwe kukuba icala elithile lingcono kunelinye. Oku sikubonakalisa ngoko sikuthethayo noko sikwenzayo.
‘LUMKA UKANTI UBE MSULWA’
8. Xa kunzima ukungathathi cala, ‘sinokulumka’ njani nakuba sizigcina ‘simsulwa’?
8 Indlela yesibini yokungathathi cala, ‘kukulumka njengeenyoka ukanti sibe msulwa njengamahobe.’ (Funda uMateyu 10:16, 17.) ‘Silumkile’ xa sizilungiselela kwangaphambili iimeko ezinzima. Yaye siba ‘msulwa’ xa singathathi cala kwezo meko. Makhe sithethe ngezinye zezo meko, noko sinokukwenza ukuze singathathi cala.
9. Simele silumkele ntoni xa sincokola nabanye?
9 Ukuncokola. Simele silumke kakhulu xa abantu beqalisa ukuthetha ngezopolitiko. Ngokomzekelo, xa sincokola nomntu ngoBukumkani bukaThixo, asimele sithi siyavumelana okanye siyaphikisana nembono yeqela okanye inkokeli ethile yezopolitiko. Kunokuba sithethe ngoko kumele kwenziwe ngabantu ukulungisa iingxaki ezikhoyo, simele sibonise ngokusuka eBhayibhileni indlela uBukumkani bukaThixo obuya kuzilungisa ngayo. Ukuba abantu baxambulisana ngemibandela efana nokutshatiswa kwamafanasini okanye ukuqhomfa, simele sibaxelele oko kuthethwa liLizwi likaThixo nendlela esikusebenzisa ngayo ebomini bethu. Ukuba omnye umntu uvakalelwa kukuba imithetho ethile imele isuswe okanye itshintshwe, thina asithathi cala yaye asimnyanzeli ukuba atshintshe uluvo lwakhe.
Hlala uthelekisa oko ukuvayo ‘namazwi aphilileyo’ aseBhayibhileni
10. Sinokuqiniseka njani ukuba asithathi cala xa sibukela okanye sifunda nantoni na kumajelo eendaba?
10 Amajelo eendaba. Ngamanye amaxesha ibali leendaba lisenokubaliswa ngendlela exhasa icala elinye. Oku kuxhaphake kakhulu kumazwe apho amajelo eendaba ephethwe ngurhulumente. Ukuba oonondaba okanye iintatheli zithatha icala, simele silumke singosuleleki. Ngokomzekelo, khawuzibuze, ‘Ngaba ndiyakuthanda ukumamela unondaba othile kuba ndivumelana nezimvo zakhe zopolitiko?’ Ukuze uhlale ungathathi cala, kuphephe ukubukela okanye ukufunda iindaba ezithatha icala kwezopolitiko. Kunoko zama ukufumana iindaba ezingathathi cala. Yaye hlala uthelekisa oko ukuvayo ‘namazwi aphilileyo’ aseBhayibhileni.—2 Timoti 1:13.
11. Kunokuba nzima njani ukungathathi cala xa izinto eziphathekayo esinazo zibaluleke kakhulu kuthi?
11 Ukuthanda izinto eziphathekayo. Xa imali nezinto zethu zibaluleke kakhulu kuthi, sisenokukufumanisa kunzima ukungathathi cala. Emva ko-1970, amaNgqina amaninzi eMalawi kwafuneka ancame zonke izinto awayenazo, kuba ayengavumi ukungenela umbutho wezopolitiko. Okulusizi kukuba, abanye abazange bafune ukuncama ubomi babo obutofotofo. Omnye udade ogama linguRuth ukhumbula oku, “Abanye bahamba nathi ukuya elubhacweni kodwa kamva bangenela umbutho wezopolitiko baza babuyela ekhaya kuba bengafuni ukunyamezela ubunzima kwinkampu yeembacu.” Kodwa uninzi lwabantu bakaThixo alunjalo. Bahlala bengathathi cala nokuba loo nto iphumela ekubeni bangabi namali okanye baphulukane nento yonke ethi bona.—Hebhere 10:34.
12, 13. (a) UYehova ubajonga njani abantu? (b) Sinokuzibona njani xa siqhayisa ngelizwe lethu?
12 Ukuqhayisa. Kuqhelekile ukubona abantu benebhongo yaye beqhayisa ngohlanga, izithethe, isixeko nelizwe labo. Kodwa uYehova akacingi ukuba umntu okanye iqela labantu libhetele kunelinye. Kuye, sonke siyalingana. Ewe kona, uYehova usenze sahluka omnye komnye, yaye oku kwahluka siyakuvuyela. Akalindelanga ukuba sohlukane nezithethe zethu. Sekunjalo, akafuni sicinge ukuba singcono kunabanye.—Roma 10:12.
13 Asimele siqhayise ngelizwe okanye uhlanga lwethu size sicinge ukuba lubhetele kunolunye. Ukuba sivakalelwa ngolo hlobo, kunganzima ngathi ukungathathi cala. Oku kwenzeka ngenkulungwane yokuqala. Abanye abazalwana abangamaHebhere abazange babaphathe kakuhle abahlolokazi abangamaGrike. (IZenzo 6:1) Sinokuzibona njani xa siqalisa ukungenwa kukuqhayisa okulolo hlobo? Ukuba umzalwana okanye udade osuka kwenye indawo ukunika icebiso, ngaba ukhawuleza ucinge ukuba, ‘Senza izinto bhetele apha,’ uze emva koko ungalamkeli? Ukuba kunjalo, khumbula esi siluleko sibalulekileyo: “Ngokuthobeka kwengqondo, nibagqala abanye njengabongamileyo kunani.”—Filipi 2:3.
UYEHOVA UZA KUKUNCEDA
14. Unokusinceda njani umthandazo, yaye nguwuphi umzekelo woko oseBhayibhileni?
14 Indlela yesithathu yokungathathi cala, kukuthembela ngoYehova. Thandazela umoya oyingcwele, oya kukunika umonde nokuzeyisa. Ezi mpawu ziya kukunceda xa kunokwenzeka urhulumente enze into ngokunganyaniseki okanye engekho sikweni. Cela uYehova akuphe ubulumko bokubona imeko enokwenza kube nzima ukuba ungathathi cala. Mcele akuncede wenze okufanelekileyo. (Yakobi 1:5) Usenokuvalelwa okanye wohlwaywe ngenxa yokuthembeka kuYehova. Ukuba kunjalo, thandazela inkalipho ukuze ukwazi ukucacisela abanye ukuba kutheni ungathathi cala. Qiniseka ukuba uYehova uya kukunceda unyamezele.—Funda iZenzo 4:27-31.
Cingisisa ngeZibhalo eziya kukunceda ungathathi cala nezikunceda ube nombono wehlabathi elitsha
15. IBhayibhile inokusinceda njani singathathi cala? (Jonga nebhokisi ethi “ ILizwi LikaThixo Labanceda Abathatha Cala.”)
15 UYehova usinike iBhayibhile ukuze isomeleze. Cingisisa ngeZibhalo eziya kukunceda ungathathi cala. Zama ukuzibethelela engqondweni nokuzikhumbula, kuba ziya kukunceda ukuba kunokwenzeka ungabi nayo iBhayibhile. Zinokulomeleza ithemba lakho ngoko uThixo akutshoyo ngekamva. Siyalidinga eli themba ukuze sikwazi ukunyamezela intshutshiso. (Roma 8:25) Khetha iZibhalo ezikunceda ube nombono wezinto onqwenela ukuzinandipha kwihlabathi elitsha, uze uzibone ulapho.
ZUZA KUBAKHONZI ABANYANISEKILEYO BAKAYEHOVA
16, 17. Sinokufunda ntoni kwimizekelo yabakhonzi bakaThixo abathembekileyo abangazange bathathe cala? (Jonga umfanekiso osekuqaleni.)
16 Into yesine enokusinceda singathathi cala, kukucinga ngemizekelo yabakhonzi abanyanisekileyo bakaYehova. Ngamaxesha okubhalwa kweBhayibhile baninzi ababa nenkalipho, baza benza izigqibo ezabanceda abathatha cala. Cinga ngoShadraki, uMeshaki noAbhednego, abaye bala ukunqula umfanekiso oqingqiweyo owawumela urhulumente waseBhabhiloni. (Funda uDaniyeli 3:16-18.) Le ngxelo yeBhayibhile inceda amaNgqina amaninzi namhlanje ukuba akhaliphe aze angavumi ukunqula iiflegi zamazwe ahlala kuwo. UYesu akazange azibandakanye neepolitiki okanye ezinye izinto ezahlula abantu. Wayesazi ukuba umzekelo wakhe omhle uza kunceda abafundi bakhe. Wathi: “Yomelelani! Mna ndiloyisile ihlabathi.”—Yohane 16:33.
17 Kule mihla yethu baninzi abazalwana abaye abathatha cala. Abanye baye bathuthunjiswa, bavalelwa entolongweni baza babulawa ngenxa yokuhlala kwabo bethembekile kuYehova. Imizekelo yabo inokusinceda sibe nenkalipho. Omnye umzalwana waseTurkey wathi: “UFranz Reiter wayengumzalwana oselula owabulawa ngenxa yokuba esala ukungenela umkhosi kaHitler. Ileta awayibhalela umama wakhe ngobusuku bangaphambi kokufa kwakhe, yabonisa ukholo olumangalisayo nokuthembela kwakhe ngoYehova, yaye ndandifuna ukulandela umzekelo wakhe ukuba kunokwenzeka ndijamelane nemeko enjalo.” [2]—Jonga umbhalo osekugqibeleni.
18, 19. (a) Abazalwana noodade abasebandleni lakho banokukunceda njani ungathathi cala? (b) Uzimisele ukwenza ntoni?
18 Abazalwana noodade abasebandleni lakho banokukunceda ukuba ungathathi cala. Xelela abadala xa ukwimeko enzima. Banokukunika amacebiso asuka eBhayibhileni. Kwakhona, ukuba abanye ebandleni lakho bayayazi imeko yakho, banako ukukukhuthaza. Bacele ukuba bakuthandazele. Nathi simele sibaxhase abazalwana bethu size sibathandazele. (Mateyu 7:12) Ukuze ufumane uludwe lwamagama abazalwana abasentolongweni, jonga inqaku eliku-jw.org/xh elithi “AmaNgqina KaYehova Abanjelwe Ukholo Lwawo—Ngokweengingqi,” elifumaneka phantsi kwendawo ethi, IINDABA > EZOMTHETHO. Khetha amagama ambalwa kolu ludwe, uze ucele uYehova abancede bakhaliphe baze banyaniseke kuye.—Efese 6:19, 20.
19 Njengoko isiphelo sisondela, simele silindele ukuba oorhulumente basinyanzele ukuba sithathe icala. Yiloo nto kanye simele sizimisele kwangoku ukungathathi cala kweli hlabathi lahluleleneyo!

Babanjelwe Ukholo Lwabo
AmaNgqina kaYehova aneminyaka engaphezu kweyi-100 enenkululeko yonqulo kuMzantsi Korea, kodwa ke abo bangavumiyo ukuya emkhosini ngenxa yezazela zabo abanayo ncam le nkululeko. Nyaka ngamnye, urhulumente welo uvalela abafana abangamakhulu-khulu abangamaNgqina. Ukususela kwixesha leMfazwe yaseKorea ukuza kutsho namhlanje, uMzantsi Korea uye wawatshutshisa ngokungenalusini amaNgqina angafuniyo ukuya emkhosini yaye akenzi necebo lokuba enzele ilizwe ezinye iinkonzo. Waba yintoni umphumo? UMzantsi Korea uye wagweba amaNgqina angaphezu kwayi-18 000 ukuba athothoze entolongweni, xa iyonke iminyaka agwetyelwa yona ingaphezu kweyi-35 000 kuba nje engavumi ukuya emkhosini.
Iimeko Zaphucuka Entolongweni
AmaNgqina ayekade evalelwa phantsi kweemeko ezingaginyisi-mathe yaye evalelwa ithuba elide, kodwa ngoku noko iimeko zaphucuka nezigwebo zehliswa zaya kutsho kwiinyanga eziyi-18. Abaphathi beentolongo bayawavumela amaNgqina amaninzi ukuba abe neentlanganiso zawo zonqulo.

Indlela Amanye Amazwe Awubona Ngayo Lo Mba
IKomiti Yamalungelo Abantu YeZizwe Ezimanyeneyo enomsebenzi wokuqwalasela indlela iBhunga Lamazwe Ngamazwe Lamalungelo Ezopolitiko, iye yavakalisa izihlandlo eziliqela ukuba uMzantsi Korea * uwasingela phantsi amalungelo amaNgqina angavumiyo ukuya emkhosini ngenxa yezazela zawo. Ngokomzekelo, ngo-Oktobha 25, 2012, le komiti yafumanisa ukuba uMzantsi Korea unetyala ngenxa yokungawahloneli amalungelo abafana abayi-388 abangamaNgqina kaYehova. Le komiti yoleka ngelithi, “ilungelo lokungayi emkhosini liyahambelana nenkululeko yokucinga, eyesazela neyonqulo. Eli lungelo livula ikroba lokuba umntu angayi emkhosini ukuba iinkolelo okanye unqulo lwakhe alumvumeli.” Urhulumente woMzantsi Korea akakatshintshi yaye usaqhubeka ecinezela abafana abaninzi ngokungabaniki inkululeko yokucinga, eyesazela neyonqulo njengoko iKomiti Yamalungelo Abantu Yezizwe Ezimanyeneyo ifuna njalo.

OKWENZEKA EHLABATHINI
Makhe Sithethe Ngentsapho
Iintsapho zijamelana neengxaki ezininzi kodwa ubulumko beBhayibhile obungaphelelwa xesha bunokuzinceda ziphumelele.
EAfrika
Ngokutsho kombutho iWorld Health Organization, oomama bafanele baqale ukuzincancisa iintsana zabo ingekapheli iyure zizelwe, baze bazincancise ibele kuphela de kuphele iinyanga ezintandathu. Nangona ilukhuthazo oluhle olu, icandelo leZizwe Ezimanyeneyo elicebisa ngendlela yokondla iRegional Nutrition Adviser for Eastern and Southern Africa (iUNICEF) lithi izibhengezo zentengiso zobuxoki ziyaqhubeka “zisithi ukutya kweentsana okuthengiswayo kunezondlo njengobisi lukamama.”
OKUFUNDISWA YIBHAYIBHILE: “Nabani na ongenamava ukholwa ngamazwi onke, kodwa onobuqili uyawaqwalasela amanyathelo akhe.”—IMizekeliso 14:15.
ECanada
Abaphandi bakwisixeko iMontreal bathi abantwana abanabazali abangqwabalala—badla ngokutyeba kunabantwana abanabazali ababonisa uthando.
NGABA UBUSAZI? Indlela yokukhulisa abantwana eyingenelo yachazwa eBhayibhileni kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo.—Kolose 3:21.
ENetherlands
Kuphando oluye lwenziwa kwiintsapho zamaDatshi ezinabazali abasebenza bobabini kuye kwafunyaniswa ukuba abazali abangaliphazamisiyo ixesha lokuba sekhaya nexesha lomsebenzi baba nexesha elingakumbi nabantwana babo, kunabazali abavumela izinto zomsebenzi ziphazamisane nexesha lentsapho. Ngokomzekelo, ukufowuna okanye ukuphendula ifowuni yomsebenzi emva kokuba utshayisile kunokwenza abazali bangabahoyi ngokwaneleyo abantwana babo.
KHAWUCINGE NGOKU: “Yonke into inexesha layo elimisiweyo.”—INtshumayeli 3:1.

Ngaba ungathanda ukufunda eli nqaku ngolu lwimi:
14 Wathi akuba engene endlwini yomnye wabalawuli babaFarisi ngesabatha esiya kudla isidlo,+ bahlala bemlalele.+
2 Kwaye, khangela! kwakukho phambi kwakhe umntu othile owayenomlambo.
3 Ngoko uYesu wabhekisa kwabo babewazi uMthetho nakubaFarisi, esithi: “Kusemthethweni na ukuphilisa ngesabatha okanye akunjalo?”+
4 Kodwa bathi cwaka. Ngako oko wayibamba le ndoda, wayiphilisa waza wayindulula.
5 Yaye wathi kubo: “Ngubani na kuni ongayi kuthi, ukuba unyana okanye inkunzi yakhe yenkomo yeyela equleni,+ ngoko nangoko ayirhole ngomhla wesabatha?”+
6 Abakwazanga ukumphendula kwezo zinto.+
7 Wandula ke wabenzela umzekeliso abantu ababemenyiwe, njengoko waphawula indlela ababezinyulela ngayo ezona ndawo ziphambili, esithi kubo:+
8 “Xa umenyelwe kwitheko lomtshato nguthile, musa ukungqengqa kweyona ndawo iphambili.+ Hleze kuthi kanti kukho obalasele ngakumbi kunawe omenyiweyo naye ngelo xesha,
9 eze ke lowo unimemileyo, athi kuwe, ‘Khawudedele lo mntu.’ Uze ke wena uye kuhlala kweyona ndawo iphantsi uhlazekile.+
10 Kodwa xa umenyiwe, hamba uye kungqendeva kweyona ndawo iphantsi,+ ukuze xa umntu okumemileyo esiza athi kuwe, ‘Mhlobo, nyukela ngasentla.’ Uya kwandula ke uhlonelwe zizo zonke iindwendwe ezingamadlelane akho.+
11 Kuba wonk’ ubani oziphakamisayo uya kuthotywa nalowo uzithobayo uya kuphakanyiswa.”+
12 Waqhubeka esithi nakuloo mntu wayemmemile: “Xa usenza isidlo okanye isidlo sangokuhlwa, musa ukubiza abahlobo bakho okanye abantakwenu okanye izalamane zakho okanye abamelwane abazizityebi. Mhlawumbi ngaxa lithile nabo basenokubuya bakumeme kuze oko kube yimbuyekezo kuwe.
13 Kodwa xa usenza itheko, mema amahlwempu, izilima, iziqhwala, iimfama;+
14 yaye uya kuba noyolo, ngenxa yokuba abananto bangakubuyekeza ngayo. Kuba uya kubuyekezwa eluvukweni+ lwabo bangamalungisa.”
15 Akuva ezi zinto omnye weendwendwe ezingamadlelane wathi kuye: “Unoyolo lowo udla isonka ebukumkanini bukaThixo.”+
16 UYesu wathi kuye: “Umntu othile wenza isidlo sangokuhlwa esikhulu, wamema abaninzi.+
17 Waza wathuma ikhoboka lakhe ngelixa lesidlo sangokuhlwa ukuba lithi kwabo bamenyiweyo, ‘Yizani,+ ngenxa yokuba ngoku izinto zilungile.’
18 Kodwa bonke ngokufanayo baqala ukuzilandulela.+ Owokuqala wathi kulo, ‘Ndithenge intsimi yaye kufuneka ndiphume ndiye kuyibona; ndixolele, Andinakuphumelela.’+
19 Omnye wathi, ‘Ndithenge iinkomo zeedyokhwe ezintlanu yaye ndisaya kuzihlola; ndixolele, Andinakuphumelela.’+
20 Ukanti omnye wathi, ‘Ndisandul’ ukutshata,+ ngenxa yoko andinakuza.’
21 Ke ikhoboka elo libuyele enkosini yalo, layixelela ezo zinto. Wandula ke umnini-ndlu waqumba waza wathi kwikhoboka lakhe, ‘Phuma ngokukhawuleza uye ezindleleni eziphangaleleyo nakwiindledlana ezisesixekweni, uze uqokelele amahlwempu nezilima neemfama neziqhwala.’+
22 Ekuhambeni kwexesha ikhoboka lathi, ‘Nkosi, oko ukuyaleleyo kwenziwe, ukanti kusekho indawo.’
23 Yaza inkosi yathi kwikhoboka, ‘Phuma uye ezindleleni+ nakwiindawo ezibiyelweyo, uze ubanyanzele ukuba bangene, ukuze indlu yam izale.+
24 Kuba ndithi kuni, Akukho namnye kwabo bantu bebemenyiwe uza kukhe asingcamle isidlo sam sangokuhlwa.’”+
25 Ke kaloku izihlwele ezikhulu zazihamba naye, yaye wajika wathi kuzo:
26 “Ukuba ubani uza kum, angamthiyi uyise nonina nomfazi nabantwana nabantakwabo noodade wabo, ewe, kwanomphefumlo wakhe,+ akanakuba ngumfundi wam.+
27 Nabani na ongasithwaliyo isibonda sakhe sentuthumbo, andilandele, akanakuba ngumfundi wam.+
28 Ngokomzekelo, ngubani na kuni othi efuna ukwakha inqaba angahlali phantsi kuqala, abale indleko,+ ukuze abone ukuba unokwaneleyo kusini na kokuyigqiba?
29 Kungenjalo, usenokusibeka isiseko sayo kodwa angakwazi ukuyigqiba, yaye bonke ababoneli basenokuqala ukumgculela,
30 besithi, ‘Lo mntu waqala ukwakha kodwa akazange akwazi ukugqiba.’
31 Okanye nguwuphi na ukumkani, othi ematsha ukuya kuhlangana nomnye ukumkani emfazweni, angathi kuqala ahlale phantsi, acebe enoba unako na ngabaphumi-mkhosi abalishumi lamawaka ukumelana nalowo uza nxamnye naye enamashumi amabini amawaka?+
32 Ukuba, enyanisweni, akanako, wandula ke ngoxa lowo esekude athumele igqiza loonozakuzaku, acele kubekho uxolo.+
33 Ngaloo ndlela, qinisekani ukuba, akukho namnye kuni ongayishiyiyo yonke impahla yakhe+ onokuba ngumfundi wam.
34 “Ityuwa, ngokuqinisekileyo, isulungekile. Kodwa ukuba ityuwa ilahlekelwa sisongo sayo, iya kunongwa ngantoni na?+
35 Ayifanelanga mhlaba namgquba. Abantu bayilahla phandle. Lowo uneendlebe zokuphulaphula, makaphulaphule.”+

12 Laza ilizwi likaYehova laqhubeka lifika kum, lisithi:
2 “Nyana womntu, uhleli phakathi kwendlu enemvukelo,+ banamehlo okubona kodwa okunene ababoni,+ baneendlebe zokuva kodwa okunene abeva,+ kuba bayindlu enemvukelo.+
3 Wena ke, nyana womntu, zenzele impahla yokuthinjwa uze uye ekuthinjweni ngexesha lasemini phambi kwamehlo abo, yaye umele uye ekuthinjweni usuka endaweni yakho uye kwenye indawo phambi kwamehlo abo. Mhlawumbi baya kubona, nakuba beyindlu enemvukelo.+
4 Uze uyikhuphe impahla yakho njengempahla yokuthinjwa ngexesha lasemini phambi kwamehlo abo, uphume ngokuhlwa phambi kwamehlo abo njengabo bakhutshwayo bethinjwa.+
5 “Phambi kwamehlo abo, gqobhoza eludongeni, uze ke uphume kulo.+
6 Uze uyithwale emagxeni phambi kwamehlo abo. Kwakuba mnyama uya kuphuma. Uya kubugubungela ubuso bakho ukuze ungawuboni umhlaba, ngenxa yokuba ndikwenze waba ngumhlola+ kwindlu kaSirayeli.”+
7 Ndaza ke ndenza kanye ngendlela endandiyalelwe ngayo.+ Ndakhupha impahla yam, kanye njengempahla yokuthinjwa, ngexesha lasemini; yaye ngokuhlwa ndagqobhoza eludongeni ngesandla. Kwakuba mnyama ndaphuma. Emagxeni ndandithwele, phambi kwamehlo abo.
8 Laza ilizwi likaYehova laqhubeka lifika kum kusasa, lisithi:
9 “Nyana womntu, abatshongo na kuwe abo bendlu kaSirayeli, laa ndlu inemvukelo,+ ukuthi, ‘Wenza ntoni na?’
10 Yithi kubo, ‘Itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova ukuthi: “Ngokubhekisele kwisikhulu,+ nasi isibhengezo esiya eYerusalem nakuyo yonke indlu kaSirayeli phakathi kwabo.”’
11 “Yithi, ‘Ndingumhlola kuni.+ Kanye njengoko ndiye ndenza, yindlela ekuya kwenziwa ngayo kubo. Baya kuya ekuthinjweni, ekubanjweni.+
12 Ke ngokubhekisele kwisikhulu esiphakathi kwabo, siya kuthwala ngamagxa ebumnyameni size siphume; baya kugqobhoza eludongeni ukuze baphume ngalo.+ Siya kubugubungela ubuso baso ukuze singawuboni umhlaba ngeliso laso.’
13 Ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kuwaneka umnatha wam phezu kwaso, yaye simele sibanjiswe ngumnatha wam wokuzingela;+ kwaye ndiza kusizisa eBhabhiloni, kwilizwe lamaKhaledi,+ kodwa lona asiyi kulibona; siya kufela apho ke.+
14 Nabo bonke abo basijikelezileyo njengoncedo, nawo onke amabutho aso ezomkhosi, ndiya kubachithachitha emimoyeni yonke;+ ndirhole ikrele emva kwabo.+
15 Baya kwazi ukuba ndinguYehova xa ndibasasaza phakathi kweentlanga ndize okunene ndibachithachithe emazweni.+
16 Yaye ndiza kushiya kubo abantu abambalwa abasindileyo ekreleni,+ endlaleni nakwindyikitya yokufa, ukuze bazibalise zonke izinto zabo ezicekisekayo+ phakathi kweentlanga abaya kufika kuzo;+ bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.”
17 Laza ilizwi likaYehova laqhubeka lifika kum, lisithi:
18 “Nyana womntu, ufanele usidle isonka sakho ungcangcazela, namanzi akho ufanele uwasele uphazamisekile yaye uxhalabile.+
19 Kwaye umele uthi ebantwini belizwe, ‘Itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova kubemi baseYerusalem kumhlaba wakwaSirayeli ukuthi:+ “Isonka sabo baya kusidla bexhalabile, namanzi abo baya kuwasela beqhiphuke umbilini, ukuze ilizwe labo libe leliphanzileyo ngokupheleleyo+ ngenxa yogonyamelo lwabo bonke abo bahlala kulo.+
20 Nezixeko ezimiweyo ziya kuphanziswa,+ nelizwe ngokwalo liya kuba yinkangala ephanzileyo;+ ukuze nazi ukuba ndinguYehova.”’”+
21 Laza ilizwi likaYehova lafika ngokubhekele phaya kum, lisithi:
22 “Nyana womntu, iyintoni na le ntetho ingumzekeliso ninayo emhlabeni wakwaSirayeli,+ ethi, ‘Imihla iyoluleka,+ iyatshabalala nemibono yonke’?+
23 Ngoko ke yithi kubo, ‘Itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova ukuthi: “Ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kuyibangela iphele le ntetho ingumzekeliso, yaye abasayi kuphinda bayitsho njengomzekeliso kwaSirayeli.”’+ Kodwa thetha kubo uthi, ‘Isondele imihla,+ nokuzaliseka kwemibono yonke.’
24 Akusayi kuphinda kubekho nawuphi na umbono+ ongenaxabiso nakuvumisa kumbaxa phakathi kwendlu kaSirayeli.+
25 ‘“Kuba mna, Yehova, ndiya kuthetha elo lizwi ndiya kulithetha, yaye liya kwenzeka.+ Akuyi kubekelwa elinye ixesha kwakhona,+ kuba ngemihla yenu,+ ndlundini inemvukelo, ndiya kuthetha ilizwi ndize ngokuqinisekileyo ndilenze,” itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova.’”
26 Laza ilizwi likaYehova laqhubeka lifika kum, lisithi:
27 “Nyana womntu, khangela! abo bendlu kaSirayeli bathi, ‘Umbono awubonayo usekude ngemihla emininzi, yaye uprofeta ngamaxesha akude.’+
28 Ngoko ke yithi kubo, ‘Itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova ukuthi: “‘Nawaphi na awam amazwi akayi kubekelwa elinye ixesha kwakhona.+ Elo lizwi ndiya kulithetha, lona kanye liya kwenzeka,’+ itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova.”’”+
