1:1 Amazwi eNtshumayeli, unyana kaDavide, ukumkani waseYerusalem.
1:2 Amampunge awo amampunge, itsho iNtshumayeli; amampunge awo amampunge, yonke into ingamampunge.
1:3 Unalungelo lini umntu emigudwini yakhe yonke, ayenzayo phantsi kwelanga?
1:4 Kumka esinye isizukulwana, kulandele esinye isizukulwana; ke lona ihlabathi limi ngonaphakade.
1:5 Ilanga liyaphuma, ilanga libuya litshone, liphikele endaweni yalo apho liphuma khona.
1:6 Umoya uya ezantsi, ujikeleze usinge entla, uhamba ujikajikeleza, ubuye ubuya umoya ekujikelezeni kwawo.
1:7 Yonke imilambo iya elwandle, ukanti ulwandle aluzali; endaweni eya kuyo imilambo, ibuya iye kwakhona.
1:8 Zonke izinto ziyazixhamla; umntu akanako ukuzithetha; alihluthi iliso kukubona, ayizali indlebe kukuva.
1:9 Into eyayikho yeya kubuya ibekho; into eyenzekayo yeya kubuya yenzeke yona. Akukho nto intsha phantsi kwelanga.
1:10 Ukuba kukho into ekuthiwa, Yabona, le intsha! ibiselikho kade, emaphakadeni abekho ngaphambi kwethu.
1:11 Akukho kukhumbula abokuqala; nabasemva abaya kubakho, abayi kukhunjulwa ngabaya kuza emva kwabo.
1:12 Mna, Ntshumayeli, ndibe ndingukumkani kwaSirayeli eYerusalem.
1:13 Intliziyo yam ndayinikela ukuba ingxoke, isingasinge ngobulumko, yonke into eyenzekayo phantsi kwezulu; ngumzamo ombi uThixo awunike oonyana babantu, ukuba bawuzame.
1:14 Ndazikhangela zonke izenzo ezenzekayo phantsi kwelanga; yabona, zonke zingamampunge nokusukelana nomoya.
1:15 Into egoso ayinakolulwa; into engekhoyo ayinakubalwa.
1:16 Ndathetha mna nentliziyo yam, ndisithi, Yabona, mna ndikhulise ndandisa ubulumko, ngaphezu kwabo bonke ababephethe iYerusalem phambi kwam; nentliziyo yam ibone kakhulu ubulumko nokwazi.
1:17 Intliziyo yam ndayinikela ekwazini ubulumko, nasekwazini ubugeza nobuyatha; kwanaloo nto ndayiqonda ukuba kukusukelana nomoya.
1:18 Ngokuba ebuninzini bobulumko kukho ukuhlelwa sisiyengelezane esininzi; owongeza ukwazi, wongeza umvandedwa.
2:1 Ndathi mna entliziyweni yam, Khawuze khe ndikulinge ngovuyo, ubone okulungileyo. Yabona, kwanaloo nto ingamampunge.
2:2 Ndathi kohlekayo, Uyageza; nakovuyayo, Wenza ntoni na lo?
2:3 Ndasingasinga entliziyweni yam ukuba nditsale inyama yam ngewayini, ekubeni intliziyo yam iziqhuba ngobulumko: ukuba ndazane nobuyatha, ndide ndibone ukuba yiyiphi na into ebalungeleyo oonyana babantu, ukuze bayenze phantsi kwezulu, ngemihla embalwa yobomi babo.
2:4 Ndazenzela imisebenzi emikhulu, ndazakhela izindlu: ndazityalela izidiliya,
2:5 ndazenzela amasimi nemiyezo, ndatyala kuyo imithi eneziqhamo zonke;
2:6 ndazenzela amachibi amanzi okunyela ihlathi elihluma imithi;
2:7 ndathenga amakhoboka namakhobokazana, ndaba nawo nazalelwe endlwini yam. Kananjalo imfuyo yeenkomo neyempahla emfutshane yaba ninzi kum, ngaphezu kwabo bonke ababengaphambi kwam eYerusalem.
2:8 Ndaziqwebela nesilivere, negolide, nezinto eziziinqobo zookumkani ngookumkani, nezamazwe ngamazwe; ndazenzela iimvumi neemvumikazi, neziyolo zoonyana babantu, inkosikazi namakhosikazi.
2:9 Ndaba mkhulu ke, ndanda ngaphezu kwabo bonke ababeseYerusalem ngaphambi kwam; bathi nobulumko bam bandinceda.
2:10 Andiwabandezanga into yonke ayibizayo amehlo am; andiyivimbanga intliziyo yam namnye umvuyo; ngokuba intliziyo yam yayivuya emigudwini yam yonke, saba sesi ke isabelo sam emigudwini yam yonke.
2:11 Ndabheka mna ezenzweni zam zonke, ezazenzayo izandla zam, nasemigudwini yam endaphuka yiyo ukuyenza; ndayibona ukuba yonke loo nto ingamampunge nokusukelana nomoya; akukho lungelo phantsi kwelanga.
2:12 Ndazijika mna, ndakhangela ubulumko, nobugeza, nobuyatha: ngokuba ngumntu oyini na, lowo uya kuza emva kokumkani? lo ubeselenziwe kade?
2:13 Ndabona ukuba ubulumko buyabugqitha ubuyatha, njengokuba ukukhanya kubugqitha ubumnyama.
2:14 Isilumko, amehlo aso asentlokweni yaso; ke sona isinyabi sihamba emnyameni. Ndaqonda ke mna ukuba bonke bephela bahlelwa sihlo sinye.
2:15 Ndathi mna entliziyweni yam, Njengoko sihlelwa kuko isinyabi, ndiya kuhlelwa kuko nam lo: ibiyini na ke ukuba ndisidlule mna ngokulumka? Ndathi entliziyweni yam, Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge.
2:16 Ngokuba isilumko kunye nesinyabi asinakukhunjulwa kungunaphakade, ekubeni kusiza iimini ezoba sezilityelwe zonke ezo nto. Kutheni na, ukuba zife izilumko kunye nezinyabi?
2:17 Ndabuthiya ke ubomi; ngokuba mibi kum imisebenzi eyenzeka phantsi kwelanga; ngokuba yonke loo nto ingamampunge, nokusukelana nomoya.
2:18 Ndayithiya yonke imigudu yam, endaphuka yiyo phantsi kwelanga, ekubeni ndiya kuyishiya nomntu oya kubakho emva kwam.
2:19 Waziwa ngubani na, ukuba woba sisilumko, nokuba woba sisiyatha, kusini na? Ukanti uya kugunyazela emigudwini yam yonke endaphuka yiyo, endalumkayo kuyo phantsi kwelanga; kwanaloo nto ingamampunge.
2:20 Ndajika ke mna, ndayincamisisa intliziyo yam ngemigudu yonke endaphuka yiyo phantsi kwelanga.
2:21 Ngokuba kubakho umntu omigudu yakhe inobulumko, inokwazi, inempumelelo; ukanti uya kuyinika umntu ongenzanga migudu, ibe sisabelo sakhe; kwanaloo nto ingamampunge nobubi obukhulu.
2:22 Ngokuba umntu uba nantoni na ngemigudu yakhe yonke, nangenzondelelo yentliziyo yakhe, aphuka yiyo yena phantsi kwelanga?
2:23 Ngokuba imihla yakhe yonke inomvandedwa, nasekuzameni kwakhe ukhathazekile, nasebusuku ayiphumli intliziyo yakhe; kwanaloo nto ingamampunge.
2:24 Akukho nto ilungileyo ebantwini kunokuba badle, basele, bawubonise umphefumlo wabo okulungileyo emigudwini yabo. Kwanaloo nto ndiyibonile, ukuba ivela esandleni sikaThixo.
2:25 Ngokuba ngubani na ongadlayo, ngubani na ongavayo ubumnandi, engenaye?
2:26 Ngokuba umntu olungileyo phambi kwakhe umnika ubulumko nokwazi novuyo; ke yena umoni umnika umzamo wokuhlanganisa nokuqweba, ukuze loo nto ayinike olungileyo phambi koThixo. Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge nokusukelana nomoya.
3:1 Into yonke inexesha elimisiweyo, nomcimbi wonke unexesha lawo phantsi kwezulu:
3:2 ukuzala kunexesha lako, ukufa kunexesha lako; ukutyala kunexesha lako, ukunyothula okutyelweyo kunexesha lako;
3:3 ukubulala kunexesha lako, ukuphilisa kunexesha lako; ukuchitha kunexesha lako, ukwakha kunexesha lako;
3:4 ukulila kunexesha lako; ukuhleka kunexesha lako; kukho ixesha lokulila umbambazelo, kukho nexesha lokudloba;
3:5 kukho ixesha lokuchithachitha amatye, kukho nexesha lokufumba amatye; ukuwola kunexesha lako, ukuyeka ukuwola kunexesha lako;
3:6 ukufuna kunexesha lako, ukulahlekelwa kunexesha lako; ukugcina kunexesha lako, ukulahla kunexesha lako;
3:7 ukukrazula kunexesha lako, ukuthunga kunexesha lako; ukuthi cwaka kunexesha lako, ukuthetha kunexesha lako;
3:8 ukuthanda kunexesha lako, ukuthiya kunexesha lako; kukho ixesha lemfazwe, kukho nexesha loxolo.
3:9 Unalungelo lini na lowo usebenzayo, kuloo nto ayenzela imigudu?
3:10 Ndiwubonile umzamo, awunike oonyana babantu uThixo, ukuba bawuzame.
3:11 Zonke izinto uzenze zantle ngexesha lazo; kwanephakade ulinikele ezintliziyweni zabo ngohlobo lokuba umntu angasifumani isenzo asenzayo uThixo, athabathele ekuqaleni ade ase ekupheleni.
3:12 Ndiyazi ke ukuba akukho nto ilungileyo phakathi kwabo, ingekukuvuya nokuzizuzela okulungileyo ebomini babo.
3:13 Kwanokuba wonke umntu adle, asele, abone okulungileyo emigudwini yakhe yonke: sisipho sikaThixo eso.
3:14 Ndiyazi ke ukuba yonke into aya kuyenza uThixo, yiyo eya kuba ngonaphakade; kungongezwa nto kuyo, kungacatshulwa nto kuyo: uThixo ukwenzela ukuba koyikwe ebusweni bakhe.
3:15 Le nto ikhoyo ibiselikho kade; nento eya kubakho ibiselikho kade. UThixo ke ubuya ayifune into egxothiweyo.
3:16 Ndabuya ndabona phantsi kwelanga indawo yokugweba, ukuba okungendawo kukhona; nendawo yobulungisa, ukuba okungendawo kukhona.
3:17 Ndathi mna entliziyweni yam, Nolilungisa nongendawo, uThixo uya kulithetha ityala labo; ngokuba umise ixesha layo yonke imicimbi, nazo zonke izenzo.
3:18 Ndathi mna entliziyweni yam, Kungenxa yoonyana babantu, ukuze uThixo abahlele, nokuze bazibone benjengeenkomo bona ngokwabo.
3:19 Ngokuba bayahlelwa oonyana babantu, ziyahlelwa neenkomo, sinye isihlo kubo nakuzo; njengoko kunjalo ukufa kwabo, kunjalo ukufa kwazo; mnye umoya kubo bonke nakuzo zonke; akukho kuyigqitha komntu inkomo; ngokuba zonke ezo nto zingamampunge.
3:20 Zonke ezo nto ziya ndaweni-nye; zonke ezo nto zavela eluthulini, zonke ezo nto zibuyela eluthulini.
3:21 Ngubani na owaziyo umoya woonyana babantu, ukuba uyenyuka na uye phezulu; nomoya wenkomo, ukuba uyehla na uye phantsi emhlabeni?
3:22 Ndaqonda ke ukuba akukho nto ilunge ngaphezu kokuba umntu avuye ezenzweni zakhe; ngokuba kusisabelo sakhe oko. Ngokuba uya kungeniswa ngubani na, ukuba akubone okuya kubakho emveni kwakhe?
4:1 Ndabuya ke mna, ndakubona konke ukucudisa okwenziwayo phantsi kwelanga. Ndazibona iinyembezi zabacudisiweyo, bengenamthuthuzeli; esandleni sabacudisi babo kuphuma ububhovubhovu, bengenamthuthuzeli bona.
4:2 Ndabancoma ke mna abafileyo, abasebefe kade, kunabahleliyo abasahleliyo ngoku.
4:3 Ke ulungile kunabo bobabini lowo ungekabikho, ungakubonanga ukwenza okubi okwenziwa phantsi kwelanga.
4:4 Kananjalo ndayiqonda ke mna yonke imigudu, nayo yonke impumelelo yomsebenzi, ukuba ingumona wokwanyelana. Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge, nokusukelana nomoya.
4:5 Isinyabi sikhwabusha izandla, sidle kwaeyaso inyama.
4:6 Kulungile ukuzalisa sandla sinye ngokuphumla, kunokuzalisa zozibini izandla ngemigudu nokusukelana nomoya.
4:7 Ndabuya mna, ndabona amampunge phantsi kwelanga.
4:8 Kukho oba yedwa, ongenaye owesibini, ongenanyana namzalwana; ingena siphelo imigudu yakhe yonke, angahluthiyo noko bubutyebi amehlo akhe. Akatsho ukuthi, Ndaphukela bani na, ndiwuhlutha nje umphefumlo wam okulungileyo? Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge, ingumzamo ombi yona.
4:9 Kulungile ukuba babe ngababini kunokuba abe mnye, kuba banomvuzo olungileyo ngemigudu yabo.
4:10 Ngokuba xa bathe bawa, omnye unokumphakamisa uwabo; yeha ke, yena oyedwa, othe wawa! kuba akukho wesibini wokumphakamisa.
4:11 Kananjalo ababini, bathe balala, baya kuva ukusitha; angathini na ukuva ukusitha olele yedwa?
4:12 Ukuba umntu uthe wamgagamela oyedwa, bona ababini baya kumisa phambi kwakhe; umsonto ontluntathu awuhle uqhawulwe.
4:13 Ulungile umntwana olihlwempu elumkile, ngaphezu kokumkani oselemkhulu, esisidenge, ongasakuvayo ukuyalwa.
4:14 Ngokuba uphuma endlwini yamakhonkxwa ukuba abe ngukumkani; ukanti uzalelwe ebukumkanini balowo ulihlwempu.
4:15 Ndababona bonke abadla ubomi, behamba phantsi kwelanga kunye naye umntwana, lo ungowesibini, uza kuma esikhundleni salowo.
4:16 Akukho kuphela kwabantu bonke, kwabo bonke angaphambi kwabo; ukanti amavela-mva akayi kuvuya ngaye. Ngokuba kwanaloo nto ingamampunge nokusukelana nomoya.
5:1 Gcina unyawo lwakho xeshikweni uya endlwini kaThixo; ukusondela ukuba uve, kungaphezu kokunikela kwezidenge imibingelelo; ngokuba ukungazi kwazo kwenza izinto ezimbi.
5:2 Musa ukungxama ngomlomo wakho, intliziyo yakho ingaphangi ikhuphe ilizwi phambi koThixo; ngokuba uThixo usemazulwini, ke wena usehlabathini; ngenxa yoko amazwi akho makabe mancinane.
5:3 Ngokuba ukuphupha kuza ngobuninzi bemicimbi, nezwi lesidenge liza ngobuninzi bentetho.
5:4 Xeshikweni uthe wabhambathisa isibhambathiso kuThixo, musa ukuzekelela ukusizalisa; ngokuba azinanzwa izidenge; loo nto uyibhambathisileyo yizalise.
5:5 Kulungile ukuba ungabhambathisi, kunokuba ubhambathise ungazalisi.
5:6 Musa ukuwuvumela umlomo wakho, ukuba uyonise inyama yakho; ungatsho phambi komthunywa kaThixo ukuthi ibikukulahleka. Yini na ukuba uThixo abe noburhalarhume ngezwi lakho asonakalise isenzo sezandla zakho?
5:7 Ngokuba ebuninzini bamaphupha namazwi, maninzi amampunge; ke yoyika uThixo.
5:8 Ukuba uthe wakubona ukucudiswa kwehlwempu, nokuhluthwa kokusesikweni nobulungisa elizweni, musa ukumangaliswa yiloo nto; ngokuba oyena uphakamileyo ukhangele phezu kophakamileyo; kukho abaphakamileyo naphezu kwabo.
5:9 Ilungelo lelizwe entweni yonke ngukumkani onyamekela umhlaba.
5:10 Othanda isilivere akaneliswa yisilivere; nalowo uthanda intabalala, akangenelwa nto. Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge.
5:11 Ekwandeni kwezinto ezilungileyo bayanda abazidlayo zona, abe umninizo enempumelelo eyini na, ingekuko ukwanela ukuzibona ngamehlo?
5:12 Bumnandi ubuthongo bosebenzayo, nokuba incinane, nokuba ininzi into ayidlayo; ke intabalala yesityebi ayisivumeli ukuba silale buthongo.
5:13 Kukho ububi obusisifo, endibubonileyo phantsi kwelanga; ukuthi ubutyebi obugcinelwe umninibo, bube nobubi kuye;
5:14 obo butyebi butshabalala ngento embi; uzala unyana, engenayo nento esandleni sakhe.
5:15 Njengokuba waphuma esizalweni sonina eze, uya kubuya emke njengoko weza enjalo, angathabathi nento ngemigudu yakhe, angayiphathayo ngesandla sakhe.
5:16 Kwanale nto bububi obusisifo, ukuba eya kumka kanye kwanjengoko weza ngako: unalungelo lini na ke owaphukela umoya?
5:17 Kananjalo iimini zakhe zonke uzidlela emnyameni, enengqumbo enkulu, nesifo, noburhalarhume.
5:18 Nantsi into endiyibonileyo mna, ilungile, intle: into yokuthi umntu adle, asele, abone okulungileyo ngemigudu yakhe yonke aphuka yiyo phantsi kwelanga, ngokwenani lemihla yobomi bakhe amnikileyo uThixo; ngokuba kusisabelo sakhe oko.
5:19 Kananjalo wonke umntu, athe uThixo wamnika ubutyebi nokuqweba, wamnika negunya lokudla kubo, athabathe isabelo sakhe, avuye emigudwini yakhe: sisipho sikaThixo eso.
5:20 Ngokuba akayikhumbuli kakhulu imihla yobomi bakhe; ngokuba uThixo eluphendula uvuyo lwentliziyo yakhe.
6:1 Kukho ububi endibubonileyo phantsi kwelanga, buninzi ke phezu komntu:
6:2 yindoda uThixo ayinike ubutyebi, nokuqweba, nozuko, ungasweli umphefumlo wayo nanye into engayinqwenelayo, aze uThixo angayiphi amandla okuyidla; ngokuba idliwa yenye indoda. Ngamampunge lawo, sisifo esibi eso.
6:3 Ukuba umntu uthe wazala ikhulu labantwana, wadla ubomi iminyaka emininzi, yamininzi imihla yeminyaka yakhe, umphefumlo wakhe awahlutha zizinto ezilungileyo, kananjalo akaba nangcwaba: ndithi mna, imvambilini ilungile kunaye.
6:4 Ngokuba ifike ingamampunge, imka kumnyama, igama layo ligutyungelwe bubumnyama;
6:5 kananjalo ayilibonanga ilanga, ayilazanga; le yona ilungile kunomntu lowo.
6:6 Nokuba ebeya kudla ubomi iwaka leminyaka kude kube kabini, angakuboni okulungileyo, ayiyi ndaweni-nye na yonke loo nto?
6:7 Yonke imigudu yomntu uyenzela umlomo wakhe: ukanti umphefumlo awuzali.
6:8 Ngokuba isilumko sisigqitha ngantoni na isidenge? Usigqitha ngantoni na olusizana, okwaziyo ukuhamba phambi kwabaphilileyo?
6:9 Kulungile ukubona kwamehlo ngaphezu kokuhambahamba komphefumlo. Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge nokusukelana nomoya.
6:10 Loo nto iselikho, yabe iselithiywe kade igama layo; yaziwa into aya kuba yiyo umntu; akanakumelana nalowo unokumeyisa.
6:11 Ngokuba kukho amazwi amaninzi nje, andisa amampunge; umntu unalungelo lini na ngaloo nto?
6:12 Ngokuba ngubani na owaziyo okumlungeleyo umntu ebomini, ngangenani lemihla yobomi bakhe obungamampunge, ayigqiba njengesithunzi? Ngokuba ngubani na onokumxelela umntu into eya kubakho emva kwakhe phantsi kwelanga?
7:1 Igama elilungileyo lingaphezulu nakwioli elungileyo; ulungile umhla wokufa ngaphezu komhla wokuzalwa komntu.
7:2 Kulungile ukuya endlwini yesijwili kunokuya endlwini yemigidi; kuba oko kukuphela kwabantu bonke, aze ophilileyo akunyamekele ngentliziyo oko.
7:3 Kulungile ukuba nosizi ngaphezu kokuhleka; ngokuba intliziyo iyalunga bububi bobuso.
7:4 Intliziyo yezilumko isendlwini yesijwili; ke intliziyo yezidenge isendlwini yovuyo.
7:5 Kulungile ukuva ukukhalimela kwesilumko, kunokuba umntu eve ingoma yezidenge.
7:6 Ngokuba njengokuqhuqhumba kwevaba ngaphantsi kwembiza, kunjalo ukuhleka kwesidenge; naloo nto ingamampunge.
7:7 Ngokuba ukucudisa kugezisa isilumko, siyitshabalalise intliziyo isicengo.
7:8 Kulungile ukugqitywa kwendawo, ngaphezu kokuqalwa kwayo; ulungile umoya ozeka kade umsindo, kunomoya ozidlayo.
7:9 Musa ukukungxamela ukuqumba ngomoya wakho, ngokuba ingqumbo ilala esifubeni sezidenge.
7:10 Musa ukuthi, Ibiyini na, le nto imihla yamandulo ibilungile ngaphezu kwale? ngokuba akuthabatheli ebulumkweni ukuyibuza loo nto.
7:11 Bulungile ubulumko, bunelifa, bulilungelo kwabalibonayo ilanga.
7:12 Ngokuba ubulumko bungumthunzi, imali ingumthunzi; ke ukugqithisela kokwazi, kukuba ubulumko buyabasindisa abo banabo.
7:13 Wukhangele umsebenzi kaThixo; ngokuba ngubani na onokolula into ayenze yagoso?
7:14 Ngomhla wentsikelelo chwayitha, nangomhla wobubi qonda kakuhle, ukuba nalo, kwanjengalowa, wenziwe nguThixo, ngenxa enokuba umntu engafumani nto emva kwakhe.
7:15 Le nto yonke ndiyibonile ngemihla yam engamampunge: kubakho ilungisa elitshabalalayo noko linobulungisa, kubekho ongendawo ophila ixesha elide, noko angendawo.
7:16 Musa ukuba lilungisa ngokukhulu, ungabi sisilumko ngokugqithiseleyo; yini na ukuba uziphanzise?
7:17 Musa ukuba ngongendawo ngokukhulu, ungazenzi isidenge; yini na ukuba ufe lingekabi lixesha lakho?
7:18 Kulungile ukuba ubambelele kule nto nakuleya, ungasiphumzi isandla sakho; ngokuba owoyika uThixo uphumelela kuzo zonke ziphela.
7:19 Ubulumko buyasiqinisa isilumko, ngaphezu kweshumi labanegunya abakulo mzi.
7:20 Ngokuba akukho mntu ulilungisa ehlabathini, wenza okulungileyo, angoni.
7:21 Kananjalo musa ukuyinikela intliziyo yakho kumazwi onke athethwayo, ukuze ungevi umkhonzi wakho, eselekutshabhisa;
7:22 ngokuba intliziyo yakho nayo iyazi izihlandlo ezininzi, ukuba uyabatshabhisa abanye nawe.
7:23 Ezo zinto zonke ndizilingile ngobulumko; ndathi ndiya kulumka; ke bona baba kude kum.
7:24 Hayi, ukuba kude kwezinto ezikhoyo, zinzulu kakhulu; ngubani na oya kuzifumana?
7:25 Ndajika ke mna, ndanentliziyo enga ingazi, ingasingasinga, ifume ubulumko nesigqibo seengcinga; enga ingakwazi okungendawo ukuba kukunyaba, nokumatha ukuba kukugeza.
7:26 Ndayifumana ikrakra ngaphezu kokufa, inkazana eyiyimigibe iphela, ezizibatha intliziyo yayo, ezandla zingamakhamandela olungileyo phambi koThixo uya kusinda kuyo, ke yena umoni uya kubanjiswa yiyo.
7:27 Yabona into endiyifumeneyo, itsho iNtshumayeli, ndihloma enye kwenye, ukuba ndifumane isigqibo seengcinga;
7:28 obumana ukuyifuna umphefumlo wam, ndingayifumani, nantsi: indoda enye ewakeni ndiyifumene, ke yona inkazana kulo lonke andiyifumananga.
7:29 Yabona, le nto yodwa ndiyifumene, yokuba uThixo wamenza umntu wathi tye; ke bona bafune ubuqili obuninzi.
8:1 Ngubani na onjengesilumko esi? Ngubani na okwaziyo ukuconjululwa kwendawo? Ubulumko bomntu bukhanyisa ubuso bakhe, buguqulwe ubungwanyalala bobuso bakhe.
8:2 Mna ndithi, Umthetho wokumkani wugcine, ngenxa yesifungo sikaThixo.
8:3 Musa ukukungxamela ukumka ebusweni bakhe; ungangeni kwiyelenqe; ngokuba into yonke ayinanzileyo uyayenza.
8:4 Ekubeni ilizwi lokumkani linegunya, ngubani na onokuthi kuye, Wenza ntoni na?
8:5 Ogcina umthetho akazi nto imbi; intliziyo yesilumko iyalazi ixesha nesi gwebo;
8:6 ngokuba yonke imicimbi inexesha nesigwebo; ngokuba ububi bomntu buba buninzi phezu kwakhe;
8:7 ngokuba engayazi into eya kubakho. Ngokuba ngubani na onokumxelela njengoko kuya kuba njalo?
8:8 Akukho mntu unokuwugunyazela umoya, awuthintele umoya; akukho unokuyigunyazela imini yokufa; akukho kukhululeka kuloo mfazwe; okungendawo akunakubasiza abaniniko.
8:9 Le nto yonke ndiyibonile, ndayinikela intliziyo yam kwizenzo zonke ezenziwayo phantsi kwelanga, ngexesha athi umntu agunyazele umntu, kube kubi kuye.
8:10 Ekubeni kunjalo, ndibone abangendawo bengcwatywa, begoduka; besithi endaweni engcwele bemke abo benze okulungileyo, balityalwe kuloo mzi.
8:11 Kwanaloo nto ingamampunge. Ekubeni isigwebo singawiswa kamsinyane emsebenzini ombi, ngenxa yoko intliziyo yoonyana babantu izele ngaphakathi kwabo kukwenza okubi.
8:12 Nakubeni umoni esenza okubi izihlandlo ezilikhulu, ayolule imihla yakhe, noko ndiyazi ukuba kuya kulunga kwabamoyikayo uThixo, kwaboyikayo ebusweni bakhe;
8:13 kungalungi kongendawo, angayoluli imihla yakhe, njengethunzi; ekubeni engoyiki ebusweni bukaThixo.
8:14 Kukho amampunge enzekayo ehlabathini: ukuba kukho amalungisa ahlelwa ngokokwenza kwabangendawo; kukho nabangendawo abahlelwa ngokokwenza kwamalungisa; ndathi, kwanaloo nto ingamampunge.
8:15 Ndaluncoma ke mna uvuyo, ngokuba kungekho nto imlungeleyo umntu phantsi kwelanga, ngaphezu kokuba adle, asele, avuye; loo nto ithane mbende naye emigudwini yakhe, ngemihla yobomi bakhe amnikayo uThixo phantsi kwelanga.
8:16 Xeshikweni ndayinikelayo intliziyo yam ukuba ndibazi ubulumko, ndiwubone umzamo owenzekayo ehlabathini (ngokuba nasemini nasebusuku ababoni buthongo ngamehlo abo),
8:17 ndasibona ke sonke isenzo sikaThixo, ukuba akanako umntu ukusifumana isenzo eso senzekayo phantsi kwelanga; nakubeni umntu esaphuka ukusifuna, akasifumani. Nokuba sithe isilumko safuna ukwazi, asinakufumana.
9:1 Ngokuba yonke le nto ndayinyamekela ngentliziyo yam, ndayihlela yonke le nto, yokuba amalungisa, nezilumko, nemisebenzi yabo, isesandleni sikaThixo; nokuthanda nokuthiya, akukhona ekwazini kwabantu; le nto yonke basebeyimiselwe.
9:2 Izinto zonke zibahlela ngokufanayo bonke: sinye isihlo kwilungisa nakongendawo; kolungileyo, kohlambulukileyo, nakoyinqambi; kobingelelayo nakongabingeleliyo; njengoko anjalo olungileyo, unjalo nomoni; ofungayo unjengalowo ukoyikayo ukufunga.
9:3 Le yinto embi phakathi kwezinto zonke ezenzekayo phantsi kwelanga, ukuthi sibe sinye isihlo kubo bonke; ibe nentliziyo yoonyana babantu izele bububi; ibubugeza entliziyweni yabo besadla ubomi; emveni kwabo kuyiwa kwabafileyo.
9:4 Ngokuba kosukuba ehlonyelwa kwabasadla ubomi, kusekho ithemba; ngokuba inja esaphilileyo ilunge ngaphezu kwengonyama efileyo.
9:5 Ngokuba abadla ubomi bayazi ukuba baya kufa; ke bona abafileyo abazi lutho, abasabi namvuzo; ngokuba balityelwe, abasakhunjulwa nganto.
9:6 Seluphelile kade uthando lwabo, nentiyo yabo, nekhwele labo; abasenasabelo naphakade ezintweni zonke ezenzekayo phantsi kwelanga.
9:7 Yiya udle isonka sakho unovuyo, usele iwayini yakho unentliziyo echwayithileyo; ngokuba sekukade ekholisiwe uThixo zizenzo zakho.
9:8 Iingubo zakho mazibe mhlophe ngamaxesha onke, neoli mayingasweleki entlokweni yakho.
9:9 Hlala kakuhle nomfazi omthandileyo ngemihla yonke yobomi bakho obungamampunge, akunikileyo phantsi kwelanga, ngemihla yakho yonke engamampunge; ngokuba sisabelo sakho eso ebomini, nasemigudwini yakho owaphuka yiyo phantsi kwelanga.
9:10 Yonke into esiyifumanayo isandla sakho ukuba siyenze, yenze ngamandla akho; ngokuba akukho kwenza, nakucinga, nakwazi, nakulumka kwelabafileyo, apho uya khona wena.
9:11 Ndabuya ndabona phantsi kwelanga, ukuba ukugidima asikokwabanamendu, imfazwe asiyeyamagorha; kananjalo isonka asisesezilumko; kananjalo ubutyebi asibobabanenqiqo; kananjalo ubabalo asilolwabanokwazi; ngokuba bonke bephela bafikelwa lixesha nasisihlo.
9:12 Ngokuba umntu akalazi nexesha lakhe; njengeentlanzi ezibanjiswe ngomnatha ombi, nanjengeentaka ezibanjiswe ngomgibe, banjalo ukurhintyelwa kwabo oonyana babantu ngexesha elibi, xa libawele ngesiquphe.
9:13 Nale nto ndiyibone ibubulumko phantsi kwelanga, babukhulu kum:
9:14 umzi omncinane unamadoda ambalwa; kweza kuwo ukumkani omkhulu, wawungqinga, wawakhela iimboniselo ezinkulu.
9:15 Wafumana kuwo indoda elihlwempu inobulumko; yona yawusiza umzi ngobulumko bayo; ke akubangakho mntu ubuya ayikhumbule le ndoda ilihlwempu.
9:16 Ndathi ke mna, Bulunge ubulumko ngaphezu kobugorha; kodwa ubulumko beli hlwempu budelekile, namazwi alo akaviwa.
9:17 Amazwi ezilumko, eviwe ngokuthozama, angaphezu kokunkqangaza kolawula phakathi kwezidenge.
9:18 Bulunge ubulumko ngaphezu kweempahla zokulwa; ke yena umoni emnye utshabalalisa okulungileyo okuninzi.
10:1 Iimpukane ezifileyo zinukisa zibilise amafutha omqholi; ubudenge obuncinane bunzima kunobulumko nozuko.
10:2 Intliziyo yesilumko ingasekunene kwaso: intliziyo yesidenge ingasekhohlo kwaso.
10:3 Ewe, nasendleleni, xa sithe isidenge sahamba ngayo, siyayiswela intliziyo, sihambe sisithi kubantu bonke, Ndisisidenge.
10:4 Ukuba ukufutha komlawuli kuthe kwenyuka kwakuchasa, musa ukuyishiya indawo yakho; ngokuba ubulali buleleza izono ezikhulu.
10:5 Kukho ububi endibubonileyo phantsi kwelanga, obunjengokulahleka okuphuma konegunya:
10:6 ubudenge bunikwa iindawo eziphezulu ezinkulu, zibe izityebi zihleli kwiindawo eziphantsi.
10:7 Ke ndizibone izicaka zikhwele emahasheni, namatshawe ehamba phantsi ngeenyawo njengezicaka.
10:8 Omba isigingqi, angeyela kuso; ochitha uthango, inyoka ingamluma.
10:9 Omba amatye, angenzakala; ocanda iinkuni angaba semngciphekweni.
10:10 Ukuba intsimbi ithe yaba buthuntu, akalulola uhlangothi lwayo, wogonyela ngoko ngamandla; ke ubulumko buyanceda bulungise.
10:11 Ukuba inyoka ithe yaluma kungekho kukhafula, akabi nanzuzo umnyangi.
10:12 Amazwi omlomo wesilumko anokubabala; ke yona imilebe yomlomo wesidenge iginya kwasona.
10:13 Ingqalo, yamazwi omlomo waso bubudenge, nengqibo yomlomo waso bubugeza obubi.
10:14 Isidenge sandisa amazwi, engakwazi umntu okuya kubakho nokuya kubakho emva kwakhe, ngubani na onokumxelela?
10:15 Imigudu yezidenge iyazixhamla, ezingakwaziyo ukuya emzini.
10:16 Yeha, wena lizwe likumkani ungumntwana, limatshawe adla kwakusasa!
10:17 Hayi, uyolo lwakho, lizwe likumkani ungunyana wabanumzana, limatshawe adlayo ngexesha elililo, enobugorha, engenamithayi!
10:18 Ngobuvila iyabhena imiqadi; ngokuthamba kwezandla iyanetha indlu.
10:19 Benza isidlo ukuba bahleke, iwayini ivuyise ubomi; imali ilungele iinto zonke.
10:20 Musa ukumtshabhisa ukumkani, nasesazeleni sakho, ungasitshabhisi nesityebi ezingontsini zakho zokulala; ngokuba intaka yasendle yolihambisa elo zwi, nento enamaphiko iyixele loo ntetho.
11:1 Siphose isonka sakho phezu kwamanzi, ngokuba wosifumana kwakuba ziintsuku ezininzi.
11:2 Yahlula izahlulo zibe sixhenxe, zibe sibhozo, ngokuba akuyazi into embi eya kubakho ehlabathini.
11:3 Ukuba amafu athe azala yimvula, ayithululela emhlabeni; ukuba umthi uthe wawa, wabheka ezantsi, nokuba uthe wabheka entla, kuloo ndawo uwe kuyo umthi lowo, wolala khona.
11:4 Ogqala umoya akayi kuhlwayela; okhangela amafu akayi kuvuna.
11:5 Njengokuba ungayazi ukuba yiyiphi na indlela yomoya, kwanjengokuyilwa kwamathambo esiswini somithiyo; ngokunjalo akusazi isenzo sikaThixo owenza izinto zonke.
11:6 Kusasa hlwayela imbewu yakho, nangokuhlwa ungasiphumzi isandla sakho; ngokuba ungazi ukuba kolunga yiphi na, nokuba yile nokuba yileya, kusini na, nokuba zolunga ngakunye zombini na.
11:7 Kumnandi ukukhanya, kulungile emehlweni ukulibona ilanga.
11:8 Ngokuba umntu, ukuba uthe wadla ubomi iminyaka emininzi, makavuye ngayo yonke iphela, noko ke akhumbule imihla yobumnyama, ukuba iya kuba mininzi. Yonke into ezayo ingamampunge.
11:9 Vuya, ndodana, ebutsheni bakho, ikuchwayithise intliziyo yakho ngemihla yobudodana bakho, uhambe ngeendlela zentliziyo yakho, nangokukhangela kwamehlo akho; kodwa yazi ukuba ngenxa yezo zinto zonke uThixo uya kukusa ematyaleni.
11:10 Yisuse ke ingqumbo entliziyweni yakho, ubudlulise ububi enyameni yakho; ngokuba ubutsha nobudoda bungamampunge.
12:1 Uze umkhumbule ke uMdali wakho ngemihla yobutsha bakho, ingekezi imihla yobubi, ingekafiki iminyaka owothi ngayo, Ayindiyolele;
12:2 lingekabi mnyama ilanga, nokukhanya, nenyanga, neenkwenkwezi, engekabuyi amafu emva kwemvula;
12:3 loo mini baya kungevezela abagcini bendlu, agobe amadoda anobukroti, ziyeke iintokazi ezisilayo ngokuba zimbalwa, kube mnyama kwabakhangela ngeefestile;
12:4 zivalwe iingcango ngasesitratweni, kwakubon ukuba sidambile isandi sokusila, evuka kwazisathetha iintaka, zinqwilile zonke iintombi zengoma;
12:5 naxeshikweni baya kuzoyika iindawo eziphakamileyo, neento eziqhiphula umbilini zibe sendleleni; utyatyambe umamangile, uchabachabase umqhathu, utshitshe umnqweno; ngokuba umntu esiya ekhayeni lakhe laphakade, bajikajike ezitratweni abambambazeli;
12:6 ingekaqhawuki intambo yesilivere, lityumke iselwa legolide, uqhekeke umphanda emthonjeni, yaphuke ivili iwe equleni;
12:7 lungekabuyeli emhlabeni uthuli, njengoko belunjalo, umoya ubuyele kuThixo owawunikayo.
12:8 Amampunge awo amampunge, itsho iNtshumayeli; into yonke ingamampunge.
12:9 Phezu koko, ngokuba iNtshumayeli ibisisilumko, yamana ibafundisa abantu ukwazi, yalinganisela, yabagocagoca, yayila imizekeliso emininzi.
12:10 INtshumayeli yafuna, inga ingafumana amazwi anandiphekayo, kuthi nokubhalwayo kulunge, ibe ngamazwi enyaniso.
12:11 Amazwi ezilumko anjengeemviko; anjengezikhonkwane ezitshonisiweyo asezintlanganiseleni, anikwe ngumalusi emnye.
12:12 Nangaphezu koko, nyana wam, vuseleleka; ukwenza iincwadi ezininzi akunakuphela, nokuphikela ukufunda okuninzi kudinisa inyama.
12:13 Ukuhlanganiswa kwentetho, yakuba ivakele into yonke, nanku: Yoyika uThixo, ugcine imithetho yakhe; ngokuba indawo leyo yimfanelo yoluntu lonke.
12:14 Ngokuba izenzo zonke uThixo uya kuzizisa ekugwetyweni, izinto zonke ezifihlakeleyo, nokuba zilungile nokuba zimbi.

Chapter 7
1 Emveni kwezi zinto, wayehamba uYesu kwelaseGalili; kuba ebengathandi ukuhamba kwelakwaYuda; ngokuba amaYuda ebefuna ukumbulala.
2 Ke kaloku, wawukufuphi umthendeleko wamaYuda weminquba.
3 Bathi ngoko kuye abazalwana bakhe, Gqitha apha, uye kwelakwaYuda, ukuze nabafundi bakho bayibone imisebenzi yakho oyenzayo.
4 Kuba akukho namnye wenza into emfihlekweni, abe yena ngokwakhe efuna ukuba sekuhleni. Ukuba uyazenza ezi zinto, zibonakalise ngokwakho kwihlabathi.
5 Kuba nabazalwana bakhe bebengakholwa kuye.
6 Wathi ngoko uYesu kubo, Ixesha lam alikabikho, ke elenu ixesha lihlala lilungile.
7 Ihlabathi alinakunithiya nina; mna ke liyandithiya, ngokuba mna ndingqina ngalo, ukuba imisebenzi yalo ayindawo.
8 Nyukani nina, niye kulo mthendeleko; mna andikanyuki, ndiye kulo mthendeleko; ngokuba ixesha lam alikazaliseki.
9 Akuba ke ezithethile ezi zinto kubo, wahlala kwelaseGalili.
10 Ke, bakuba benyukile abazalwana bakhe, wenyuka naye, waya emthendelekweni, kungekhona ekuhleni, kubusithela.
11 Ayemfuna ngoko amaYuda emthendelekweni, esithi, Uphi na yena?
12 Kwaye kukho ukukrokra okukhulu ngaye ebantwini; inxenye ibisithi, Ulungile; abanye ke besithi, Hayi, yena ulahlekisa uluntu olu.
13 Noko ke bekungekho namnye ubethetha ngaye ngokusekuhleni, ngenxa yokoyika amaYuda.
14 Ke kaloku, kwakubon’ ukuba sekuphakathi komthendeleko, wenyuka uYesu waya etempileni, wafundisa.
15 Ayemangaliswa amaYuda, esithi, Lo uyazi ngani na imfundo, engafundanga nje?
16 Waphendula uYesu, wathi, Eyam imfundiso asiyam, yeyalowo wandithumayo.
17 Ukuba kukho othi afune ukukwenza ukuthanda kwakhe, woyazi imfundiso le: ukuba iphuma kuThixo, nokuba mna ndithetha okukokwam, kusini na.
18 Lowo uthetha okwakhe, ufuna olulolwakhe uzuko; ke lowo ufuna uzuko lowamthumayo, uyinene yena, akukho kungalungisi kuye.
19 Umthetho aniwunikelwanga na nguMoses? Kanti ke akukho namnye kuni uwugcinayo umthetho; yini na ukuba nifune ukundibulala?
20 Saphendula isihlwele sathi, Unedemon; ngubani na ofuna ukukubulala?
21 Wapendula uYesu wathi kubo. Ndenze umsebenzi wamnye, namangaliswa ke nonke.
22 UMoses uninike ulwaluko ngenxa yoku, kungengenxa yokuba luphume kuMoses, kungenxa yokuba luphume kooyihlo. Niyamalusa ke umntu nangesabatha.
23 Ukuba umntu uyaluswa ngesabatha, ukuze ungaphulwa umthetho kaMoses, nindijalele na ngokuba ndiphilise umntu, waphila kwaphela, ngesabatha?
24 Musani ukugweba ngokwembonakalo; gwebani ngomgwebo olungisayo.
25 Babesithi ngoko abathile kwabaseYerusalem, Asinguye na lo bafuna ukumbulala?
26 Niyabona, uthetha ngokuphandle, abathethi nto kuye; bangaba kanti na ke bayazi okwenyaniso abaphathi, ukuba lo nguye uKristu okwenyaniso?
27 Thina siyamazi lo apho avela khona; xa sukuba ke uKristu esiza, akukho namnye uya kumazi apho avela khona.
28 Wadanduluka ke ngoko uYesu, efundisa etempileni, wathi, Nina niyandazi, nikwazi nalapho ndivela khona; andizanga ngokwam; uyinyaniso owandithumayo, eningamaziyo nina.
29 Mna ke ndiyamazi; ngokuba ndivela kuye, waye yena endithumile.
30 Babefuna ngoko ukumbamba; kodwa akubangakho namnye umsa isandla, ngokuba ilixa lakhe belingekafiki.
31 Ke kaloku, into eninzi esihlweleni yakholwa kuye; yayisithi, UKristu, xa athe wafika, angaba uya kwenza imiqondiso emininzi na kunale ayenzileyo lo?
32 AbaFarisi beva abantu bezikrokrela ezi zinto ngaye; baza abaFarisi nababingeleli abakhulu bathuma amadindala, ukuba ambambe.
33 Wathi ngoko uYesu kuwo, Liselixesha elifutshane endinani, ndize ndiye kowandithumayo.
34 Niya kundifuna, ningandifumani; nithi apho ndikhona mna, ningabi nakufika nina.
35 Athi ngoko amaYuda phakathi kwawo, Uza kuya phi na lo, le nto singayi kumfumana thina? Angaba uza kuya kwiintsali ezikumaGrike, afundise amaGrike, yini na?
36 Liyintoni na eli lizwi alithethileyo, lithi, Niya kundifuna, ningandifumani; nithi apho ndikhona mna, ningabi nakufika nina?
37 Ke kaloku, ngomhla wokugqibela, ongowona mkhulu womthendeleko, wema uYesu, wadanduluka esithi, Ukuba kukho othi anxanwe, makeze kum asele.
38 Lowo ukholwayo kum, njengoko satshoyo isibhalo, kuya kumpompoza imilambo yamanzi aphilileyo, iphuma embilinini wakhe.
39 Oku wakutsho ke ngaye uMoya, ababeza kumamkeliswa abo bakholwayo kuye; kuba ebengekamkelwa uMoya oyiNgcwele; ngokuba uYesu ebengekazukiswa.
40 Yaye ngoko into eninzi esihlweleni, yakuliva ilizwi elo, isithi, Lo nguye umprofeti, inyaniso. Babesithi abanye, Lo nguye uKristu.
41 Babesithi abanye, uKristu angavela kwelaseGalili yini na?
42 Asitshongo na isibhalo ukuthi, uKristu uphuma embewini kaDavide, naseBhetelehem, umzana abekuwo uDavide?
43 Ke ngoko sathi qheke kubini isihlwele ngenxa yakhe.
44 Inxenye ke kubo yayithanda ukumbamba, kodwa akubangakho namnye umsa izandla.
45 Afika ngoko amadindala kubabingeleli abakhulu nakubaFarisi; baza bona bathi kuwo, Kungani na ukuba ningezi naye?
46 Aphendula amadindala athi, Akuzanga kuthethe mntu njengoko athetha ngako lo mntu.
47 Bawaphendula ngoko abaFarisi, bathi, Ningaba nilahlekisiwe nani na?
48 Kubaphathi nakubaFarisi kungaba kukho mntu ukholiweyo kuye yini na?
49 Olu luntu lungawaziyo umthetho luqalekisiwe.
50 Uthe uNikodemo kubo (lowo wezayo kuye ebusuku, engomnye kwabo),
51 Umthetho wethu uyamgweba yini na umntu, ukuba awuthanga uve kuye kuqala, uqonde into ayenzayo?
52 Baphendula bathi kuye, Ungaba ungowelaseGalili nawe na? Phengulula ubone, ukuba akuveli mprofeti kwelaseGalili.
53 Walowo ke waya kweyakhe indlu.

Wazalwa Nini UYesu?
Impendulo yeBhayibhile
IBhayibhile ayisichazeli ukuba uYesu Kristu wazalwa ngaluphi usuku, kanye njengoko ezi ncwadi zilandelayo zibonisa:
“
Umhla wokuzalwa kukaKristu awaziwa.”—New Catholic Encyclopedia.
“
Umhla ochanileyo wokuzalwa kukaKristu awaziwa.”—Encyclopedia of Early Christianity.
Nangona iBhayibhile ingawuphenduli ngokuthe ngqo umbuzo othi, ‘Wazalwa Nini uYesu?’ Ichaza iziganeko ezimbini ezenzeka xa wayezalwa ezibangela uninzi lwabantu lufikelele kwisigqibo sokuba uYesu akazange azalwe ngoDisemba 25.
Kwakungekho sebusika
Ubhaliso. Ngaphambi kokuba uYesu azalwe, UKesare Agasto wakhupha umyalelo wokuba “
wonke umhlaba omiweyo ubhaliswe.” Wonke umntu wayefanele abhalise “
kwisixeko sakowabo,” nto leyo eyayiza kwenza abantu bathabathe uhambo lweveki nangaphezulu. (Luka 2:1-3) Kusenokwenzeka ukuba lo myalelo wawenzelwe ukuze kwaziwe inani labantu abaza kurhafa nabaza kuya emkhosini—nowawungazukuthandwa ngabantu enoba wawukhutshwe nini na ebudeni bonyaka. Ngoko ke, uAgasto wayengenakubacaphukisa abantu abalawulayo ngokubenza bahambe imigama emide ebusika.
Abelusi ‘
babehlala ezindle yaye belinde imihlambi yabo ebusuku.’ (Luka 2:8) Incwadi iDaily Life in the Time of Jesus ichaza ukuba imihlambi yayihlala phandle ukususela “
kwiveki engaphambi kwePasika [ngasekupheleni koMatshi]” ukuya kuthi ga phakathi kuNovemba. Le ncwadi iphinda yongeze ithi: “
Yayihlala kwindawo elikhusi ebusika; yaye ngenxa yesi sizathu kunokubonwa ukuba usuku lweKrismesi ekuthiwa lisebusika, alinakuba lichanile, ekubeni ingxelo yeVangeli isithi abalusi babesezindle.”
Kwiinyanga ezingaphambili
Sinako ukuqikelela umhla awazalwa ngawo uYesu xa sibala sibuya umva ukususela ngomhla wokufa kwakhe ngePasika kaNisan 14 ekwindla kunyaka ka-33 C.E. (Yohane 19:14-16) UYesu wayeneminyaka eyi-30 ukuqalisa kwakhe umsebenzi wokushumayela nowamthatha iminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha ukuze awugqibe. Ngoko ke, uYesu wazalwa ngasekupheleni konyaka ka-2 B.C.E.—Luka 3:23.
Kutheni iKrismesi ingoDisemba 25?
Ekubeni uYesu Kristu engazange azalwe ngoDisemba 25, kutheni iKrismesi ibhiyozelwa ngalo mhla? IEncyclopædia Britannica ithi kusenokwenzeka ukuba iinkokeli zecawa zakhetha olu suku ukuze “
lungqamane nomsitho wobuhedeni wamaRoma ‘wosuku lokuzalwa kwelanga elingoyiswayo.’” Ngokokutsho kweThe Encyclopedia Americana, izifundiswa ezininzi zikholelwa ukuba oku kwenziwa ngenjongo yokuba “
ubuKristu buthandwe ngabahedeni ababeguqukela kubuKristu.”

Chapter 17
1 Wathi uAhitofele kuAbhisalom, Makhe ndinyule ishumi lamawaka elinamawaka amabini amadoda, ndisuke, ndimsukele uDavide ngobu busuku;
2 ndimfikele ediniwe, ewe izandla, ndimothuse; basabe bonke abantu anabo; ndibulale ukumkani yedwa;
3 ndibabuyisele kuwe bonke abantu; indoda leyo ufuna yona injengokungathi babuye bonke; boxola bonke abantu.
4 Lalunga elo zwi emehlweni ka-Abhisalom, nasemehlweni amadoda amakhulu onke akwaSirayeli.
5 Wathi uAbhisalom, Khawubize noHushayi waseArki, sive into esemlonyeni wakhe naye.
6 Weza uHushayi kuAbhisalom; wathi uAbhisalom kuye, UAhitofele uthethe eli lizwi wenjenje. Senze ngelizwi lakhe, singenzi ngalo, kusini na? Khawutsho wena.
7 Wathi uHushayi kuAbhisalom, Icebo uAhitofele acebisa lona alilungile okwangoku.
8 Wathi uHushayi, Wena uyamazi uyihlo namadoda akhe, ukuba ngamagorha amphefumlo ulugcalagcala, njengebhere ehluthwe amathole ayo ezindle; uyihlo yindoda eqhele ukulwa, akalali ebantwini.
9 Yabona, kungokunje uzimele emgongxweni, nokuba kukwenye indawo. Kothi ke, xa athe wabawela ekuqaleni, eve ovayo, athi, Kukho uxabelo ebantwini abamlandelayo uAbhisalom;
10 athi nomfo onobukroti, ontliziyo injengentliziyo yengonyama, anyibilike kuphele. Ngokuba onke amaSirayeli ayazi ukuba uyihlo ligorha, abo banaye ngamakroti.
11 Ndithi elam icebo, makahlanganiswe, ahlanganiselwe kuwe, onke amaSirayeli, athabathele kwaDan ese eBher-sheba, abe njengentlabathi engaselwandle ubuninzi, uye emfazweni ngesiqu.
12 Sofika ke kuye endaweni, apho afumaneke khona, sithi qatha phezu kwakhe, njengokulala kombethe emhlabeni, kungasali namnye kuye nakumadoda onke anaye.
13 Ke ukuba uthe warholela emzini, onke amaSirayeli ozisa izintya kuloo mzi, siwukrwiqilizele emlanjeneni, kude kungafumaneki nelityana khona.
14 Wathi uAbhisalom namadoda onke akwaSirayeli, Icebo likaHushayi umArki lilungile kunecebo lika-Ahitofele. UYehova wayemise ukuba litshitshiswe icebo elilungileyo lika-Ahitofele, ukuze uYehova amzisele ububi uAbhisalom.
15 Wathi uHushayi kuTsadoki nakuAbhiyatare ababingeleli, Wenjenje, wenjenje uAhitofele ukumpha icebo uAbhisalom namadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli; ke mna ndenjenje, ndenjenje ukubapha icebo.
16 Thumelani ke ngoko kamsinya, nimxelele uDavide, nithi, Musa ukulala ngobu busuku emazibukweni entlango; khawuleza uwele, hleze aginywe ukumkani nabantu bonke anabo.
17 Ke kaloku uYonatan noAhimahatse babemi e-En-rogele; waye umkhonzazana emana ukubaxelela; baya ke bona baxelela ukumkani uDavide; ngokuba babengenakuya besiza phakathi komzi ekuhleni.
18 Umfana wababona, waxelela uAbhisalom. Bobabini ke basaba ngokukhawuleza, bafika endlwini yendoda eBhahurim ebinequla entendelezweni yayo, behla, behlela khona apho.
19 Intokazi yathabatha isigqubuthelo, yasitwabulula emlonyeni wequla elo, yaneka phezu kwaso irhasi engqushiweyo; ayaziwa ke loo nto.
20 Bafika abakhonzi baka-Abhisalom kuloo ntokazi endlwini, bathi, Baphi na ooAhimahatse noYonatan? Yathi loo ntokazi kubo, Bawele umlanjana lo unamanzi. Bafuna ke, ababafumana; babuyela eYerusalem.
21 Kwathi emva kokumka kwabo, baphuma equleni, baya bamxelela ukumkani uDavide; bathi kuDavide, Sukani niwele kamsinya emanzini; ngokuba wenjenje uAhitofele ukubapha icebo ngani.
22 Wesuka ke uDavide nabantu bonke anabo, bayiwela iYordan; kwathi kusasa kwabe kungasekho namnye ungayiwelanga iYordan.
23 Ebonile uAhitofele ukuba akwenziwanga ngelakhe icebo, wabopha iesile, wesuka, wagoduka, waya emzini wakhe, wayolela, wazikrwitsha wafa; wangcwatyelwa engcwabeni likayise.
24 UDavide wafika eMahanayim; uAbhisalom wayiwela iYordan, yena namadoda onke akwaSirayeli kunye naye.
25 UAbhisalom wammisa uAmasa esikhundleni sikaYowabhi phezu komkhosi. Ke uAmasa ebengunyana wendoda egama linguItra, engumYizereli, eyangena kuAbhigali intombi kaNahashe, udade boTseruya, unina boYowabhi.
26 AmaSirayeli noAbhisalom bamisa ezweni laseGiliyadi.
27 Kwathi, akufika uDavide eMahanayim, uShobhi unyana kaNahashe, waseRabha yakoonyana baka-Amon, noMakire unyana ka-Amiyeli, waseLo-debhare, noBharzilayi, waseGiliyadi waseRogelim,
28 bazisa iinkuko, nezitya, nemiphanda, nengqolowa, nerhasi, nomgubo, namakhweba neembotyi, neentlumaya, nezinye izinto ezigcadiweyo,
29 nobusi, namasi, nempahla emfutshane, nezonka zamasi enkomo, kuDavide nabantu abenabo, ukuze badle; kuba babesithi, Abantu balambile, batyhafile, banxaniwe entlango.

Chapter 15
1 Bathi, kwaoko kwakusa, ababingeleli abakhulu benza ibhunga, ndawonye namadoda amakhulu, nababhali, nentlanganiso yamatyala iphelele; bambopha uYesu bemka naye, bamnikela kuPilato.
2 UPilato wambuza esithi, Unguye na ukumkani wamaYuda? Waphendula ke yena wathi kuye, Nawe utsho.
3 Baye bemmangalela ke ngeendawo ezininzi ababingeleli abakhulu.
4 Wabuya ke uPilato wambuza, esithi, Akuphenduli nento na? Khangela ukuba zininzi kwazo iindawo abazingqina ngawe.
5 Noko ke uYesu akabanga saphendula nto yena, ngokokude amangaliswe uPilato.
6 Ke kaloku imithendeleko ngemithendeleko ubeqhele ukubakhululela umbanjwa abe mnye, abasukuba bemcela.
7 Kwaye kukho ke obekuthiwa nguBharabhas, ebotshwe ndawonye nabanye abenzi besaqunge, ababulalayo nokubulala esaqungeni apho.
8 Sankqangaza isihlwele, saqala ukucela, ukuba enze ngoko abehlala esenza ngako kubo.
9 Wabaphendula ke uPilato, esithi, Nithanda ukuba ndinikhululele ukumkani wamaYuda na?
10 Kuba ebesazi ukuba ababingeleli abakhulu abo bamnikele ngomona.
11 Ke bona ababingeleli abakhulu bayixhokonxa indimbane, ukuba icele ukuba kanye abakhululele uBharabhas.
12 Wabuya waphendula ke uPilato, wathi kubo, Ninga ndingamenzani na ngoko lowo nithi nguKumkani wamaYuda?
13 Babuya ke bankqangaza bathi, Mbethelele emnqamlezweni!
14 Wathi ke uPilato kubo, Kuba enze bubi buni na? Kwaba kukhona ke bancamisayo ukunkqangaza, besithi, Mbethelele emnqamlezweni!
15 Ke kaloku uPilato, ngokunga angasithomalalisa isihlwele, wabakhululela uBharabhas. Emtyakatyile ke uYesu, wamnikela ukuba abethelelwe emnqamlezweni.
16 Athi amasoldati amrholele ngaphakathi kwentendelezo, oko kukuthi endlwini yerhuluneli; alibizele ndawonye ibutho lawo liphela;
17 amambathise ngebomvu; aluke isithsaba sameva, amthi jize ngaso,
18 aqale ukumbulisa, athi, Aa! Kumkani wamaYuda!
19 Ayembetha entloko ngengcongolo; ayemtshicela; ayeguqa ngamadolo, aqubude kuye.
20 Athi akuba edlale ngaye, amhluba ebomvu, amambathisa kwaezakhe iingubo; amrholela phandle, ukuze ambethelele emnqamlezweni.
21 Anyanzela umhambi othile, uSimon waseKirene, evela ephandleni, lowo nguyise ka-Alesandire noRufo, ukuba awuthwale umnqamlezo wakhe.
22 Amzisa endaweni yeGologota, oko kukuthi ngentetho evakalayo, yindawo yokakayi.
23 Ayemnika iwayini enemore, ukuba ayisele; kodwa akayamkelanga.
24 Athi akumbethelela emnqamlezweni, abelana ngeengubo zakhe, esenza amaqashiso ngazo, ukuze uthile athabathe ethile.
25 Ke kaloku, laye ililixa lesithathu, abambethelela ngalo emnqamlezweni.
26 Waye umbhalo wetyala lakhe ubhalwe ngaphezulu, kwathiwa, uKumkani wamaYuda.
27 Kwaye kubethelelwe naye eminqamlezweni izihange zizibini, esinye ngasekunene, esinye ngasekhohlo kwakhe.
28 Sazaliseka ke eso sibhalo sithi, Wabalelwa kwabachasene nomthetho.
29 Baye abadlulayo bemnyelisa, behlunguzela iintloko zabo, besithi, Uha! Wena uchitha itempile, uyakhe ngeentsuku ezintathu,
30 zisindise, uhle emnqamlezweni.
31 Ngokukwanjalo nababingeleli abakhulu, bedlala ngaye phakathi kwabo, benababhali, babesithi, Abanye wabasindisa; yena ngokwakhe akanakuzisindisa.
32 UKristu, uKumkani wakwaSirayeli, makehle kalokunje emnqamlezweni, ukuze sibone, sikholwe. Baye nabo babebethelelwe eminqamlezweni kunye naye bemngcikiva.
33 Ke kaloku lakuba lilixa lesithandathu, kwehla ubumnyama phezu kwawo wonke umhlaba, kwada kwalilixa lesithoba.
34 Ngalo ilixa lesithoba, wadanduluka uYesu ngezwi elikhulu, esithi, Eloyi! Eloyi! Lama sabhaktani? Oko kukuthi ngentetho evakalayo, Thixo wam! Thixo wam! undishiyeleni na?
35 Inxenye yababemi khona yakuva yathi, Yabonani, ubiza uEliya.
36 Wagidima ke omnye, wazalisa imfunxa ngeviniga, wayifaka engcongolweni, wamseza, esithi, Khanenze kuhle, khe sibone ukuba uEliya woza kumthula na.
37 Wathi ke uYesu, ekhuphe izwi elikhulu, waphuma umphefumlo.
38 Lathi ikhuselo lengcwele lakrazuka kubini, lithabathela phezulu lada lesa phantsi.
39 Ebonile ke umthetheli-khulu obemi malunga naye, ukuba wenjenjalo ukudanduluka waphuma umphefumlo, uthe, Inyaniso, lo mntu ubenguNyana kaThixo.
40 Kwaye ke kukho nabafazi, bekhangele bemgama; kubo apho wayenguMariya waseMagadala, noMariya unina wooYakobi omnci nokaYose, kwanoSalome;
41 ababesithi, oko ebeba kwelaseGalili, bamlandele, bamlungiselele; nabanye abaninzi, ababenyuke naye ukuya eYerusalem.
42 Kuthe sekuhlwile, ekubeni ibiyimini yokulungiselela, oko kukuthi ngumhla ophambi kwesabatha,
43 kweza uYosefu, owaseArimati, umphakathi obekekileyo, owayebulindile naye ubukumkani bukaThixo; waya kungena ngobuganga kuPilato, wacela umzimba kaYesu.
44 Wamangaliswa ke uPilato kukuba selefile. Ebizele kuye umthetheli-khulu, wambuza ukuba uselenexesha na efile.
45 Wathi akuqonda kumthetheli-khulu lowo, wamnika uYosefu umzimba.
46 Yena, ethenge ilinen entle, wamthula; wamsongela kuyo ilinen entle; wamlalisa engcwabeni elalixholwe eweni; waqengqela ilitye emnyango wengcwaba.
47 Baye ke ooMariya waseMagadala, noMariya unina kaYose, bebona apho wayebekwe khona.

Chapter 26
1 Kothi, xa uthe wangena ezweni elo akunikayo uYehova uThixo wakho ukuba libe lilifa, walihlutha, wema kulo:
2 uthabathe inxenye yolibo lweziqhamo zonke zomhlaba oya kuzingenisa, ziphuma ezweni lakho akunikayo uYehova uThixo wakho, uzibeke engobozini; uye kuloo ndawo uYehova uThixo wakho aya kuyinyulela, ukuba alibeke khona igama lakhe;
3 uye kumbingeleli othe wakho ngaloo mihla, uthi kuye, Ndiyaxela namhla kuYehova uThixo wakho, ukuba ndingenile kulo ilizwe, awafungayo uYehova koobawo ukuba wosinika lona.
4 Woyithabatha ke umbingeleli ingobozi esandleni sakho. ayibeke phantsi phambi kwesibingelelo sikaYehova uThixo wakho.
5 Uze uphendule ke uthi phambi koYehova uThixo wakho, EbengumAram ochithakeleyo ubawo. Wehla waya eYiputa, waphambukela khona, ebantu bambalwa; waba luhlanga ke khona olukhulu olunamandla, oluninzi.
6 Asiphatha kakubi amaYiputa, asicinezela, abeka umsebenzi onzima phezu kwethu.
7 Sakhala kuYehova uThixo woobawo, waliphulaphula uYehova ilizwi lethu; wazibona iintsizi zethu, nokwaphuka kwethu, nokuxinwa kwethu.
8 Wasikhupha uYehova eYiputa ngesandla esithe nkqi, nangengalo eyolukileyo, nangokoyikeka okukhulu, nangemiqondiso, nangezimanga;
9 wasingenisa kule ndawo, wasinika eli lizwe, ilizwe elibaleka amasi nobusi.
10 Kaloku ke, nanku ndizise ulibo lweziqhamo zomhlaba lowo undinikileyo, Yehova. Uze uyibeke phantsi phambi koYehova uThixo wakho, uqubude phambi koYehova uThixo wakho;
11 uvuye nendlu yakho ezintweni zonke ezilungileyo akunikileyo uYehova uThixo wakho, wena, nomLevi, nomphambukeli ophakathi kwenu.
12 Xa uthe wagqiba ukunikela isishumi sonke songeniselo lwakho ngomnyaka wesithathu, ongumnyaka wezishumi wamnika umLevi, nomphambukeli, nenkedama, nomhlolokazi, badla emasangweni akho, bahlutha:
13 wothi phambi koYehova uThixo wakho, Ndiyikhuphe kwee tu into engcwele endlwini yam; kananjalo ndimnikile umLevi, nomphambukeli, nenkedama, nomhlolokazi, ngokomthetho wakho wonke ondiwiseleyo; andigqithanga emithethweni yakho, andilibalanga nto.
14 Andidlanga nto kuyo esililweni sam, andikhuphanga nto kuyo ebunqambini bam, andinikanga nto yayo ngenxa yofileyo. Ndiliphulaphule ilizwi likaYehova uThixo wam, ndenza ngako konke andiwisele umthetho ngako.
15 Vela ekhayeni lakho elingcwele emazulwini, uqondele, ubasikelele abantu bakho, amaSirayeli, nomhlaba lo usinikileyo, njengoko wafungayo koobawo, ilizwe elibaleka amasi nobusi.
16 Namhlanje uYehova uThixo wakho ukuwisele umthetho, ukuba uyenze le mimiselo nala masiko; uwagcine ke, uwenze ngentliziyo yakho yonke, nangomphefumlo wakho wonke.
17 UYehova namhla umbangile wathi unguThixo kuwe, nokuba wena wohamba ngeendlela zakhe, uyigcine imimiselo yakhe, nemithetho yakhe, namasiko akhe, uliphulaphule izwi lakhe.
18 NoYehova namhla unibangile nina, wathi ningabantu abayinqobo kuye, njengoko wathethayo kuni, ukuze niyigcine yonke imithetho yakhe;
19 aniphakamise ngaphezu kweentlanga zonke azenzileyo, ukuba nibe yindumiso, negama, nendili; nibe ngabantu abangcwele kuYehova uThixo wenu, njengoko wakuthethayo.

Chapter 8
1 Ngaloo mini, ukumkani uAhaswerosi wamnika uEstere ukumkanikazi indlu kaHaman, umbandezeli wamaYuda. UMordekayi weza phambi kokumkani; kuba uEstere ubeyixelile into abeyiyo kuye.
2 Ukumkani wakhulula umsesane wakhe, abewuthabathe kuHaman, wanika uMordekayi. UEstere wammisa uMordekayi phezu kwendlu kaHaman.
3 Waphinda uEstere, wathetha phambi kokumkani, ewe phambi kweenyawo zakhe, elila etarhuzisa kuye, ukuba abutshitshise ububi bukaHaman umAgagi, nengcinga yakhe abeyicingile ngamaYuda.
4 Waza ukumkani wayolulela kuEstere intonga yegolide; wavuka uEstere, wema phambi kokumkani.
5 Wathi, Ukuba kuthe kwalunga kukumkani, ukuba ndithe ndababalwa nguye, yafaneleka le nto phambi kokumkani, nam ndalunga emehlweni akhe: makubhalwe zibuye iincwadi zengcinga kaHaman unyana kaHamedata, umAgagi, awazibhalela ukuwatshabalalisa amaYuda asemazweni onke kakumkani.
6 Kuba ndingathini na ukuba nako ukububonela ububi obuya kubazela abantu bakowethu? Ndingathini na ukuba nako ukukubona ukutshatyalaliswa kwemizalwane yam?
7 Wathi ukumkani uAhaswerosi kuEstere ukumkanikazi, nakuMordekayi umYuda, Yabonani, indlu kaHaman ndiyinike uEstere; yena ngokwakhe bamxhoma emthini, ngenxa yokuba wasa isandla sakhe kumaYuda.
8 Ngoko ke, nina bhalani ngamaYuda ngoko kulungileyo emehlweni enu egameni lokumkani, nitywine ngomsesane wokumkani; kuba incwadi ebhalwe egameni lokumkani, yatywinwa ngomsesane wokumkani, akukho unokuyibuyisa.
9 Babizwa ke ababhali bokumkani ngelo xesha ngenyanga yesithathu (yinyanga enguSivan ke leyo), ngomhla wamashumi amabini anesithathu kuyo; kwabhalwa ngako konke awawisa umthetho ngako uMordekayi, kumaYuda, nakwiirhuluneli, nakumabamba, nakubathetheli bamazwe, athabathela eIndiya eza kwaKushi, amazwe alikhulu elinamanci mabini anesixhenxe, kwilizwe ngelizwe njengokubhala kwalo, kubantu ngabantu ngokwentetho yabo, nakumaYuda ngokokubhala kwawo nangokwentetho yawo.
10 Kwabhalwa egameni lokumkani uAhaswerosi, kwatywinwa ngomsesane wokumkani; kwathunywa iincwadi ngezigidimi ezisemahasheni, ezikhwele kwiimbaleki zakomkhulu, kumankonyana esihashe sakomkhulu.
11 Kwabhalwa kwathiwa, ukumkani uwavumele amaYuda, akwimizi ngemizi yonke, ukuba abizelane ndawonye, akhusele ubomi bawo, atshabalalise, abulale, asingele phantsi yonke impi yabantu neyelizwe eliwabandezelayo, abantwana nabafazi, aphange amaxhoba abo,
12 ngamini-nye, emazweni onke kakumkani uAhaswerosi, ngomhla weshumi elinesithathu wenyanga yeshumi elinesibini (yinyanga enguAdare ke leyo).
13 Incwadi leyo, ukuze awiselwe umthetho onke amazwe ngamazwe, yathunyelwa kwizizwe zonke, ukuze amaYuda ahlale selezilungiselele loo mhla, ukuziphindezelela ezintshabeni zawo.
14 Izigidimi zakhwela kwiimbaleki zakomkhulu, nakwisihashe sakomkhulu, zaphuma zingxanyisiwe lilizwi lokumkani. Umthetho lowo wawiswa eShushan komkhulu.
15 Ke kaloku uMordekayi waphuma ebusweni bokumkani, enesambatho sobukumkani selinen emsi emhlophe, nesithsaba esikhulu segolide, nengubo yokwaleka yelinen ecikizekileyo emfusa. Umzi waseShushan wagcoba wavuya.
16 KumaYuda kwabakho ukukhanya, nokuvuya, nemihlali, nembeko.
17 Nakumazwe ngamazwe onke, nakwimizi ngemizi yonke, elathi lafika kuyo ilizwi lokumkani nomthetho wakhe, yaba yimivuyo nemihlali kumaYuda, isidlo nomhla wokuchwayitha. Abaninzi ezizweni zelizwe baba ngamaYuda; ngokuba bafikelwa kukunkwantya ngamaYuda.

IBhayibhile Kwi-Intanethi | INGUQULELO YEHLABATHI ELITSHA YEZIBHALO EZINGCWELE
Ngaba ungathanda ukufunda eli nqaku ngolu lwimi:
7 Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kuYeremiya, lisithi:
2 “Yima esangweni lendlu kaYehova, uze ulivakalise apho eli lizwi,+ uthi, ‘Liveni ilizwi likaYehova, nonke nina bakwaYuda, eningenayo kula masango ukuza kuqubuda kuYehova.
3 Utsho uYehova wemikhosi, uTHIXO kaSirayeli, ukuthi: “Lungisani iindlela zenu nezenzo zenu, yaye ndiza kunigcina nihlala kule ndawo.+
4 Musani ukukholosa ngamazwi obuxoki,+ athi, ‘Bayiyo itempile kaYehova, itempile kaYehova, itempile kaYehova!’
5 Kuba ukuba ngokuqinisekileyo niya kuzilungisa iindlela zenu nezenzo zenu, ukuba ngokuqinisekileyo niya kwenza okusesikweni phakathi komntu neqabane lakhe,+
6 ukuba akukho mphambukeli, akukho nkwenkwe engenayise kwaye akukho mhlolokazi niya kumcinezela,+ negazi elimsulwa aniyi kuliphalaza kule ndawo,+ yaye aniyi kuhamba emva kwabanye oothixo kuze oko kube yintlekele kuni,+
7 nam, ke, ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kunigcina nihlala kule ndawo, kwilizwe endalinika ooyihlo, ukususela kwixesha elingenammiselo ukusa kwixesha elingenammiselo.”’”+
8 “Yabonani, nikholosa ngamazwi obuxoki—ngokuqinisekileyo akayi kuba yingenelo konke konke.+
9 Ninganako na ukuba,+ ukubulala+ nokukrexeza+ nokufunga ngobuxoki+ nokuqhumisa umbingelelo kuBhahali+ nokulandela abanye oothixo enaningabazi,+
10 nize ke nifike nime phambi kwam kule ndlu elibiziweyo kuyo igama lam,+ nithi, ‘Ngokuqinisekileyo siya kuhlangulwa,’ phezu kwako nje ukwenza zonke ezi zinto zicekisekayo?
11 Ngaba le ndlu ebizwe ngegama lam+ iye yaba ngumqolomba nje wabaphangi emehlweni enu?+ Yabonani, nam ndikubonile oko,” utsho uYehova.+
12 “‘Noko ke, hambani, ngoku, niye endaweni yam eyayiseShilo,+ apho ndalihlalisa khona igama lam ekuqaleni,+ nize nibone oko ndakwenzayo kuyo ngenxa yobubi babantu bam amaSirayeli.+
13 Ke kaloku ngenxa yokuba niqhubeka nisenza yonke le misebenzi,’ utsho uYehova, ‘yaye ndimana ndithetha kuni,+ ndivuka ekuseni ndize ndithethe, kodwa anaphulaphula,+ kwaye ndahlala ndibiza kuni, kodwa anaphendula,+
14 ndiza kwenza nakuyo indlu ebizwe ngegama lam,+ enikholose ngayo,+ nakuyo indawo endaninika yona nina nookhokho benu, kanye njengoko ndenzayo kuyo iShilo.+
15 Yaye ndiza kunisusa phambi kobuso bam,+ kanye njengoko ndabasusayo bonke abantakwenu, inzala kaEfrayim iphela.’+
16 “Nawe ke, ungasithandazeli esi sizwana, ungaphakamisi nesikhalo sokubongoza okanye umthandazo nokubongoza kum ngenxa yaso,+ kuba ndiya kube ndingakuphulaphulanga.+
17 Akakuboni na oko sikwenzayo ezixekweni zakwaYuda nasezitratweni zaseYerusalem?+
18 Oonyana baso bathabatha iinkuni, yaye ooyise babasa umlilo, nabafazi baxova intlama yomgubo ukuze benze amaqebengwana ombingelelo ‘kukumkanikazi wamazulu’;+ kwaye bathulula umnikelo othululwayo+ kwabanye oothixo ngenjongo yokundicaphukisa.+
19 ‘Sicaphukisa mna na?’ utsho uYehova.+ ‘Asizicaphukisi sona na, ngenjongo yokuhlazisa ubuso baso?’+
20 Ngoko ke itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova ukuthi, ‘Khangela! Umsindo wam nobushushu bam buthululelwa phezu kwale ndawo,+ phezu koluntu naphezu kwesilwanyana sasekhaya, naphezu komthi wasendle+ naphezu kwesiqhamo somhlaba; umele uvuthe, kwaye awuyi kucima.’+
21 “Utsho uYehova wemikhosi, uTHIXO kaSirayeli, ukuthi, ‘Yongezelelani loo minikelo yenu etshiswa kuphele kwimibingelelo yenu nize nidle inyama.+
22 Kuba andizange ndithethe nookhokho benu, ndingazange ndibayalele ngemini yokubakhupha kwam kwilizwe laseYiputa ngokuphathelele imibandela yomnikelo otshiswa kuphele nemibingelelo.+
23 Kodwa eli lizwi ndalivakalisa kubo njengomyalelo, ndisithi: “Thobelani ilizwi lam,+ ndiya kuba nguThixo wenu,+ nize nina nibe ngabantu bam; yaye nimele nihambe ngendlela+ yonke endiya kuniyalela ngayo, ukuze kulunge kuni.”’+
24 Kodwa abazange baphulaphule, bengazange bathobe nendlebe yabo,+ kodwa baqhubeka behamba ngamacebo abo ngobulukhuni bentliziyo yabo embi,+ kangangokuba baya ngasemva kungekhona ngaphambili,+
25 ukususela kwimini yokuphuma kookhokho benu kwilizwe laseYiputa kude kube yile mini;+ kwaye ndaqhubeka ndithumela kuni bonke abakhonzi bam abaprofeti, ndivuka ekuseni mihla le ndize ndibathumele.+
26 Kodwa abazange bandiphulaphule, yaye abazange bayithobe indlebe yabo,+ kodwa baqhubeka beyenza lukhuni intamo yabo.+ Benza okubi ngakumbi kunookhokho babo!+
27 “Uze uwathethe kubo onke la mazwi,+ kodwa abayi kukuphulaphula; yaye umele ubabize, kodwa abayi kukuphendula.+
28 Uze uthi ke kubo, ‘Olu luhlanga olubantu balo bangamthobelanga uYehova uThixo wabo,+ nabangayithabathanga ingqeqesho.+ Ukuthembeka kutshabalele, yaye kunqumkile emlonyeni wabo.’+
29 “Cheba iinwele zakho ezingachetywanga uze uzilahle,+ naphezu kwenduli engenanto yenza isimbonono,+ kuba uYehova usigatyile+ yaye uya kusilahla isizukulwana avuthayo ngumsindo kuso.+
30 ‘Kuba oonyana bakaYuda benze okubi emehlweni am,’ utsho uYehova. ‘Babeke izinto zabo ezilizothe endlwini ebizwe ngegama lam, ukuze bayenze inqambi.+
31 Kwaye bazakhile iindawo eziphakamileyo zaseTofete,+ esentlanjeni yoonyana bakaHinom,+ ukuze batshise oonyana babo neentombi zabo emlilweni,+ nto leyo ndingabayalelanga yona nengathanga qatha entliziyweni yam.’+
32 “‘Ngoko ke, khangela! kuza imihla,’ utsho uYehova, ‘xa kungayi kuphinda kuthiwe yiTofete nentlambo yoonyana bakaHinom, kodwa ibe yintlambo yokubulala;+ yaye kuya kufuneka bangcwabele eTofefe kuba kungekho ndawo yaneleyo.+
33 Kwaye izidumbu zesi sizwana zimele zibe kukutya kwezidalwa eziphaphazelayo zamazulu nokwamarhamncwa omhlaba, kungekho bani uwenza angcangcazele.+
34 Yaye ndiya kulinqumamisa ezixekweni zakwaYuda nasezitratweni zaseYerusalem ilizwi lokugcoba nelizwi lokuba nemihlali, ilizwi lomyeni nelizwi lomtshakazi;+ kuba ilizwe liya kuba yindawo ephanzileyo.’”+

Chapter 5
1 Uthe ke, akuzibona izihlwele ezo, wenyuka intaba; waza akuhlala phantsi, beza kuye abafundi bakhe.
2 Wawuvula umlomo wakhe, wabafundisa, esithi,
3 Banoyolo abangamahlwempu ngomoya; ngokuba ubukumkani bamazulu bobabo.
4 Banoyolo abakhedamileyo; ngokuba baya konwatyiswa bona.
5 Banoyolo abanobulali; ngokuba umhlaba baya kuwudla ilifa bona.
6 Banoyolo abalambela banxanelwe ubulungisa; ngokuba baya kuhluthiswa bona.
7 Banoyolo abanenceba; ngokuba baya kwenzelwa inceba bona.
8 Banoyolo abahlambulukileyo intliziyo; ngokuba baya kumbona uThixo bona.
9 Banoyolo abaxolisi; ngokuba baya kubizwa ngokuthi bangoonyana bakaThixo bona.
10 Banoyolo abatshutshiswa ngenxa yobulungisa; ngokuba ubukumkani bamazulu bobabo.
11 Ninoyolo nina, xa bathe abantu baningcikiva, banitshutshisa, bathetha zonke izinto ezikhohlakeleyo ngani bexoka, ngenxa yam.
12 Vuyani nigcobe kunene; ngokuba umvuzo wenu mkhulu emazulwini; kuba benjenjalo ukubatshutshisa abaprofeti ababekho phambi kwenu.
13 Niyityuwa yehlabathi nina; ke ukuba ityuwa ithe ayaba nasongo, yothiwani na ukuvakaliswa? Ayisalungele nto, kukulahlwa phandle kuphela, inyathelwe ngabantu.
14 Nina nilukhanyiselo lwehlabathi; umzi omi phezu kwentaba awunakufihlakala;
15 kananjalo abasibaneki isibane basibeke phantsi kwesitya; basibeka esiphathweni saso, sikhanyisele bonke abasendlwini.
16 Malukhanye ngokunjalo ukhanyiselo lwenu phambi kwabantu; ukuze bayibone imisebenzi yenu emihle, bamzukise uYihlo osemazulwini.
17 Ningabi ndize kuchitha umthetho, nokuba ngabaprofeti; andize kuchitha, ndize kuzalisekisa.
18 Kuba inene ndithi kuni, Koda kudlule izulu nehlabathi, kungakhanga kudlule nalinye iganyana nokuba lisuntswana emthethweni, kude kwenzeke konke.
19 Othe ngoko wachitha noko umnye kule mithetho mincinanana, wabafundisa abantu ngokunjalo, kothiwa ungomncinanana ebukumkanini bamazulu; othe wenza wafundisa ngayo, kothiwa ngomkhulu ebukumkanini bamazulu.
20 Kuba ndithi kuni, Ukuba ubulungisa benu abuthanga bugqithe kakhulu kobababhali nabaFarisi, anisayi kuza ningene ebukumkanini bamazulu.
21 Nivile ukuba kwathiwa kumanyange, Uze ungabulali; wothi othe wabulala, abe sisisulu somgwebo.
22 Ke mna ndithi kuni, Wonke umntu ofumana amqumbele umzalwana wakhe, woba sisisulu somgwebo; othe ke kumzalwana wakhe, Ntw’ ingento, woba sisisulu sentlanganiso yamatyala; othe ke, Siyathandini, woba sisisulu sesihogo somlilo.
23 Ngoko xa sukuba uwusondeza umnikelo wakho esibingelelweni, wathi ulapho wakhumbula ukuba umzalwana wakho unendawo ngakuwe,
24 wushiye apho umnikelo wakho phambi kwesibingelelo, uhambe uye uxolelane nomzalwana wakho kuqala, wandule ukuza uwusondeze umnikelo wakho.
25 Lungisana kamsinya nokumangaleleyo, usesendleleni naye; hleze ummangaleli lowo akunikele emgwebini, aze umgwebi akunikele kumsila, uze uphoswe entolongweni.
26 Inene ndithi kuwe, Akusayi kukha uphume khona apho, ude uhlawule nemalanana yokugqibela.
27 Nivile ukuba kwathiwa kumanyange, Uze ungakrexezi.
28 Ke mna ndithi kuni, Wonke umntu okhangela umntu oyinkazana, ukuba amkhanuke, uselemkrexezile entliziyweni yakhe.
29 Ukuba ke iliso lakho lokunene liyakukhubekisa, linyothule ulilahle kuwe; kuba kukulungele kanye ukuba kutshabalale libe linye emalungwini akho, kunokuba umzimba wakho uphela uphoswe esihogweni.
30 Nokuba isandla sakho sokunene siyakukhubekisa, sinqamle usilahle kuwe; kuba kukulungele kanye ukuba kutshabalale libe linye emalungwini akho, kunokuba umzimba wakho uphela uphoswe esihogweni.
31 Kwathiwa ke, Othe wamala umfazi wakhe, makamnike incwadi yokwahlukana.
32 Ke mna ndithi kuni, Othe wamala umfazi wakhe ngaphandle kwendawo yombulo, uyamkrexezisa; nothe wazeka owaliweyo, uyakrexeza.
33 Kanjalo nivile ukuba kwathiwa kumanyange, Uze ungafungi buxoki; wakuthi uzifeze eNkosini izifungo zakho.
34 Ke mna ndithi kuni, Maningakhe nifunge nto; nokuba lizulu, ngokuba yitrone kaThixo;
35 nokuba lihlabathi eli, ngokuba sisihlalo seenyawo zakhe; nokuba yiYerusalem, ngokuba ngumzi woKumkani omkhulu.
36 Uze ungayifungi nentloko yakho, ngokuba ungenamandla okwenza nalunye unwele lube mhlophe, nokuba lube mnyama.
37 Ilizwi lenu ke malibe nguewe, ewe; nguhayi, hayi. Okugqithe koko ke kuvela kokungendawo.
38 Nivile ukuba kwathiwa, Iliso maliphindezelwe ngeliso, nezinyo ngezinyo.
39 Ke mna ndithi kuni, Maningasunduzani nokungendawo; yithi osukuba ekutywakraza esidleleni sakho sokunene, umguqulele nesinye eso.
40 Nalowo ufuna ukukumangalela, akuhluthe ingubo yangaphantsi, myekele neyokwaleka.
41 Nosukuba ekunyanzelela imayile enye, hamba naye zibe mbini.
42 Mphe lowo ukucelayo, nalowo ufuna ukuboleka kuwe ungamnikeli umva.
43 Nivile ukuba kwathiwa, Uze umthande ummelwane wakho, uluthiye utshaba lwakho.
44 Ke mna ndithi kuni, Zithandeni iintshaba zenu, basikeleleni abo baniqalekisayo, benzeleni okulungileyo abo banithiyayo, nibathandazele abo banigxekayo banitshutshise;
45 ukuze nibe ngabantwana boYihlo osemazulwini; ngokuba ilanga lakhe elenza liphume phezu kwabakhohlakeleyo nabalungileyo; nemvula eyinisa phezu kwabalungisayo nabangalungisiyo.
46 Kuba xa nithe nathanda abo banithandayo, ninamvuzo mni na? Abenzi kwaloo nto yini na nababuthi berhafu?
47 Naxa nithe nabulisa abazalwana benu bodwa, yintoni na egqithiseleyo eniyenzayo? Abenjenjalo yini na nababuthi berhafu?
48 Ngoko yibani ngabafezekileyo, njengokuba uYihlo osemazulwini efezekile.

Chapter 22
1 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,
2 Thetha kuAron nakoonyana bakhe, bazahlule ezintweni ezingcwele zoonyana bakaSirayeli, bangalihlambeli igama lam elingcwele ezintweni abazingcwalisayo kum: ndinguYehova.
3 Yithi kubo, Ezizukulwaneni zenu, bonke abantu abangabembewu yenu, abasukuba besondela ezintweni ezingcwale, abazingcwalisayo oonyana bakaSirayeli kuYehova, benobunqambi babo, loo miphefumlo yonqanyulwa, ingabikho ebusweni bam: ndinguYehova.
4 Umntu ngomntu ongowembewu ka-Aron, oneqhenqa, nobhobhozayo, makangazidli izinto ezingcwele, ade ahlambuluke. Nalowo umchukumisayo wonke ubani oyinqambi ngofileyo, nendoda esukuba incola;
5 nomntu osukuba echukumisa yonke into enyakazelayo, eyinqambi kuya, nokuba ngumntu oyinqambi kuye ebunqambini bakhe bonke:
6 umphefumlo osukuba uyichukumisa into enjalo, woba yinqambi, uhlwise; lowo makangadli ezintweni ezingcwele. Ke makawuhlambe umzimba wakhe emanzini;
7 lakutshona ilanga, wothi ehlambulukile adle emveni koko ezintweni ezingcwele; ngokuba kukudla kwakhe.
8 Into ezifeleyo neqwengiweyo makangayidli, azenze inqambi ngayo: ndinguYehova.
9 Ize basigcine isigxina sam, bangazithwalisi isono, bafe ngaso, ngokuba besihlambele sona: ndinguYehova obangcwalisayo.
10 Wonke ongengowakuni aze angadli nto ingcwele; olundwendwe lombingeleli, nomqeshwa, aze angadli nto ingcwele.
11 Umbingeleli xa athe wathenga umntu, waba yintengo yemali yakhe, makadle kuyo lowo, kwanozelelwe endlwini yakhe; abo bodla ukudla kwakhe.
12 Intombi yombingeleli, xa ithe yendela kwindoda engeyeyakuni, yona mayingadli emrhumeni weento ezingcwele.
13 Intombi yombingeleli, xa ithe yangumhlolokazi, nokuba ithe yaliwa, ingazalanga, yabuyela endlwini kayise, yokudla ukudla kukayise njengasebutsheni bayo. Wonke ongengowakuni makangadli kuko.
14 Umntu othe wayidla into engcwele ngokulahleka, makongeze isihlanu sayo kuyo, ayinike umbingeleli into engcwele.
15 Ize bangazihlambeli izinto ezingcwele zoonyana bakaSirayeli, ezo bazirhumela uYehova,
16 babathwalise ubugwenxa betyala ekudleni kwabo izinto zabo ezingcwele: ngokuba ndinguYehova obangcwalisayo.
17 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,
18 Thetha kuAron nakoonyana bakhe, nakoonyana bonke bakaSirayeli, uthi kubo, Umntu ngomntu wendlu kaSirayeli, nowakubaphambukeli abakwaSirayeli, osukuba esondeza umsondezo wakhe ngokubhekisele kwizibhambathiso zabo zonke, nangokubhekisele kwimibingelelo yabo yonke yokuqhutywa yintliziyo, asukuba ewusondeza kuYehova, ukuba ube lidini elinyukayo:
19 wothi, ukuze unikholekise, ube liduna eligqibeleleyo lasezinkomeni, nokuba lelasezigusheni, nelasezibhokhweni.
20 Izinto zonke ezinesiphako ize ningazisondezi, ngokuba azisayi kunikholekisa.
21 Umntu, xa athe wasondeza umbingelelo woxolo kuYehova, ukuba ube ngowesibhambathiso esibalulekileyo, nokuba ube ngowokuqhutywa yintliziyo, oziinkomo noyimpahla emfutshane: uze ube ngogqibeleleyo ukuze ukholeke, uze ungabi nasiphako nasiphi.
22 Eziziimfama, ezaphukileyo, ezilinyaziweyo, ezinokhwekhwe, ezinesitshanguba, ize ningazisondezi ezo kuYehova, ninganikeli ngazo ukudla kwasemlilweni esibingelelweni kuYehova.
23 Inkomo negusha enendawo eyolukileyo, neshwabeneyo, ungayenza umbingelelo wokuqhutywa yintliziyo; ke ayiyi kukholekisa ukuba ingowesibhambathiso.
24 Into emasende atyunyuziweyo, nakhandiweyo, naqhiwulweyo, nanqunyulweyo, ize ningayisondezi kuYehova. Ezweni lenu ze ningenjenjalo.
25 Nasesandleni sowolunye uhlanga ize ningamkeli nisondeze ukudla koThixo wenu kwezo nto, nakuziphi; ngokuba ukonakala kwazo kukuzo, isiphako sikuzo; aziyi kunikholekisa.
26 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,
27 Inkomo, negusha, nebhokhwe, xa izalwayo, yoba mihla isixhenxe phantsi konina. Kuthabathela kusuku lwesibhozo nangasemva kwalo, iya kukholekisa, ibe ngumsondezo wasemlilweni kuYehova.
28 Inkomo, nokuba yigusha, ize ningayixheli ngamini-nye netakane layo.
29 Xa nithe nawubingelela umbingelelo wombulelo kuYehova, nowubingelela ukuba unikholekise.
30 Wodliwa kwangaloo mhla, ningashiyi nto kuwo kude kuse: ndinguYehova.
31 Ize niyigcine imithetho yam, niyenze: ndinguYehova.
32 Ize ningalihlambeli igama lam elingcwele; ndongcwaliswa phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli: ndinguYehova oningcwalisayo,
33 onikhuphileyo ezweni laseYiputa, ukuze ndibe nguThixo wenu: ndinguYehova.

Ngaba ungathanda ukufunda eli nqaku ngolu lwimi:
15 Wandula ke uSamuweli wathi kuSawule: “Ndim owathunyelwa nguYehova ukuba akuthambise+ ube ngukumkani wabantu bakhe amaSirayeli, phulaphula ke amazwi kaYehova.+
2 Utsho uYehova wemikhosi+ ukuthi, ‘Ndimele ndiphendulise+ ngoko uAmaleki wakwenza kuSirayeli xa wazimisa nxamnye naye endleleni ekunyukeni kwakhe ephuma eYiputa.+
3 Yiya ke, umxabele uAmaleki+ uze umtshabalalise+ kunye nako konke anako, yaye umele ungabi namfesane kuye, kwaye umele uwabulale,+ indoda kwakunye nomfazi, umntwana kwakunye nowanyayo,+ inkunzi yenkomo kwakunye nemvu, inkamela kwakunye ne-esile.’”+
4 Ngako oko uSawule wababiza abantu waza wababala eTelayim,+ amadoda angamakhulu amabini amawaka ahamba ngeenyawo neshumi lamawaka lamadoda akwaYuda.+
5 USawule weza wafikelela kwisixeko sama-Amaleki waza wawalalela entlanjeni.
6 Ngelo thuba uSawule wathi kumaKeni:+ “Hambani, mkani,+ yihlani nisuke phakathi kwama-Amaleki, ukuze ndinganitshayeli kunye nawo. Ke nina, nabenzela ububele bothando oonyana bonke bakaSirayeli+ ngexesha lokunyuka kwabo bephuma eYiputa.”+ Ngoko amaKeni emka phakathi koAmaleki.
7 Emva koko uSawule wamxabela uAmaleki+ esusela eHavila+ ukuya kufikelela eShure,+ engaphambi kweYiputa.
8 Wabamba noAgagi+ ukumkani ka-Amaleki ephila, yaye bonke abanye abantu wabatshabalalisa ngohlangothi lwekrele.+
9 Kodwa uSawule nabantu baba nemfesane ngoAgagi nangezona zilungileyo emhlambini wezimvu nasemhlambini weenkomo+ nezityebileyo nakwiinkunzi zeegusha nakuko konke oko kwakulungile, babenganqweneli kukutshabalalisa.+ Zona ke zonke ezinye iimpahla ezazidelekile nababezigatya, ezi bazitshabalalisa.
10 Lafika ke ilizwi likaYehova kuSamuweli, lisithi:
11 “Ndiyazisola+ kuba ndibangele uSawule walawula njengokumkani, ngenxa yokuba uyekile+ ukundilandela, akawaphumeza namazwi am.”+ Kwambandezela oku uSamuweli,+ waza wakhala kuYehova ubusuku bonke.+
12 Wandula ke uSamuweli wavuka ekuseni ukuze ahlangane noSawule kusasa. Kodwa kwanikelwa ingxelo kuSamuweli, kwathiwa: “USawule uze eKarmele,+ yaye, khangela! uzimisele ilitye lesikhumbuzo,+ wandula ke wajika waya ngaphesheya waza wehla waya eGiligali.”
13 Ekugqibeleni uSamuweli wafika kuSawule, waza uSawule wathi kuye: “Mawusikelelwe+ wena nguYehova. Ndiliphumezile ilizwi likaYehova.”+
14 Kodwa uSamuweli wathi: “Sithetha ntoni ke esi sandi somhlambi wezimvu ezindlebeni zam, nesandi somhlambi weenkomo esi ndisivayo?”+
15 USawule wathi: “Bazizise bezithabatha kuma-Amaleki, ngenxa yokuba abantu+ baye banemfesane ngezona zilungileyo emhlambini wezimvu nasemhlambini weenkomo, ngenjongo yokubingelela kuYehova uThixo wakho;+ kodwa obekusele sikutshabalalisile.”
16 USamuweli wathi kuSawule: “Yeka! Kwaye ndiza kukuxelela oko uYehova akuthethileyo kum phezolo.”+ Ngoko wathi yena kuye: “Thetha!”
17 Waza uSamuweli wahlabela mgama wathi: “Akubanga yintloko yezizwe zakwaSirayeli ngoxa wena wawumncinane na emehlweni akho,+ waza noYehova wakuthambisa+ njengokumkani wakwaSirayeli?
18 Kamva uYehova wakuthuma waza wathi, ‘Hamba, utshabalalise aboni,+ ama-Amaleki, yaye umele ulwe nabo ude ubatshabalalise.’+
19 Ngoko kutheni ungalithobelanga ilizwi likaYehova kodwa wesuka watsibela ngokubawa ixhoba+ waza wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova?”+
20 Noko ke, uSawule wathi kuSamuweli: “Kodwa ndilithobele+ ilizwi likaYehova ekubeni ndiyile kuthumo abendithumele kulo uYehova ndaza ndamzisa uAgagi+ ukumkani wakwa-Amaleki, kodwa uAmaleki ndamtshabalalisa.+
21 Bathe ke abantu+ bathabatha kwixhoba elo izimvu neenkomo, ezona zintle kwinto enikelwe kwintshabalalo, ukuze babingelele+ kuYehova uThixo wakho eGiligali.”+
22 USamuweli wathi: “Ngaba uYehova lo uyoliswa yiminikelo etshiswayo+ nemibingelelo na njengoko kunjalo ngokuthotyelwa kwelizwi likaYehova? Khangela! Ukuthobela+ kulunge ngakumbi kunombingelelo,+ ukunikela ingqalelo kunamanqatha+ eenkunzi zeegusha;
23 kuba imvukelo+ iyafana nesono sokuvumisa,+ nokunyanzelisa ngekratshi nqwa nokusebenzisa amandla angaqhelekanga nemilonde-khaya.+ Ekubeni uligatyile ilizwi likaYehova,+ ngako oko naye uyakugatya ekubeni ngukumkani.”+
24 Wandula ke uSawule wathi kuSamuweli: “Ndonile;+ kuba ndiwugqithile umyalelo kaYehova namazwi akho, ngenxa yokuba ndoyike abantu+ ndaza ke ndathobela elabo ilizwi.
25 Ke kaloku, nceda, khawuxolele+ isono sam uze ubuye nam ukuze ndiqubude+ kuYehova.”
26 Kodwa uSamuweli wathi kuSawule: “Andiyi kubuya nawe, kuba uligatyile ilizwi likaYehova, noYehova uyakugatya ekubeni uqhubeke ungukumkani kaSirayeli.”+
27 Njengoko uSamuweli wayejika eza kuhamba, ngoko nangoko wabamba isondo lesambatho sakhe esingenamikhono, kodwa lakrazuka.+
28 Wathi ke uSamuweli kuye: “UYehova ulukrazule+ kuwe namhlanje ulawulo lwasebukhosini lukaSirayeli, yaye ngokuqinisekileyo uya kulunika idlelane lakho elilunge ngakumbi kunawe.+
29 Yaye, ngapha koko, Obalaseleyo kaSirayeli+ akayi kuxoka,+ akayi kuzisola, kuba Yena akangomntu wasemhlabeni ukuba azisole.”+
30 Wathi yena: “Ndonile. Ke kaloku, nceda, ubonise imbeko kum+ phambi kwamadoda amakhulu abantu bakowethu naphambi koSirayeli uze ubuye nam, yaye mna ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kuqubuda kuYehova uThixo wakho.”+
31 Ngoko uSamuweli wabuya walandela uSawule, waza uSawule waqubuda kuYehova.
32 Emva koko uSamuweli wathi: “Sondezani kum uAgagi ukumkani wakwa-Amaleki.” Ngoko uAgagi waya kuye emathidala, waqala nokuzixelela oku uAgagi: “Eneneni amava abuhlungu okufa agqithile.”
33 Noko ke, uSamuweli wathi: “Kanye njengoko ikrele lakho+ labahluthayo abafazi abantwana, ngaloo ndlela unyoko+ uya kuba ngoyena uhluthiweyo abantwana phakathi kwabafazi.”+ Waba ke uSamuweli uyamxhaxha uAgagi phambi koYehova eGiligali.+
34 Ke kaloku uSamuweli wahamba waya eRama, waza noSawule wenyuka waya endlwini yakhe eGibheya+ yakwaSawule.
35 USamuweli akazange ambone kwakhona uSawule kwada kwayimini yokufa kwakhe, ngenxa yokuba uSamuweli wazila+ ngenxa kaSawule. Yena ke uYehova, wazisola ngokwenza uSawule ukumkani kwaSirayeli.+

NGABA UBUSAZI?
Kwakutheni ukuze iNineve yamandulo ibizwe ngokuba ‘sisixeko sophalazo-gazi’?
INineve yayilikomkhulu loBukhosi baseAsiriya. Yayisisixeko esikhulu esasinamabhotwe, iitempile, oohola bendlela kunye neendonga eziphakamileyo. Umprofeti uNahum ongumHebhere wathi iNineve ‘sisixeko sophalazo-gazi.’—Nahum 3:1.
Wayenyanisile, kuba imikrolo eyafunyanwa kwibhotwe likaSenaribhe elaliseNineve ingqina indlela awayekhohlakele ngayo ama-Asiriya. Omnye wale mikrolo ubonisa ibanjwa licinezelwe ngoxa kukrunculwa ulwimi lwalo. Eminye imibhalo ithi amabanjwa ayegqojozwa iimpumlo okanye imilebe aze arhuqwe ngeentambo. Iintloko zookumkani ababuleweyo zazibotshelelwa kwiintamo zamagosa aseburhulumenteni athinjiweyo.
Ingcaphephe ngembali yaseAsiriya uArchibald Henry Sayce uchaza inkohlakalo eyayisenziwa emva kokuba kuthinjwe idolophu ethile: “Indlela awayehamba kuyo lowo woyisileyo wawuyibona ngemfumba yeentloko zabantu; amakhwenkwe namantombazana ayetshiswa ehleli okanye abulawe ngezinye iindlela ezimanyumnyezi; amadoda ayebethelelwa, ahlinzwe ephila, atyhaphazwe amehlo, okanye anqunyulwe izandla neenyawo, iindlebe kunye neempumlo.”
Kutheni kwakufuneka umYuda enze ungqameko kuphahla lwendlu yakhe?
UThixo wathi kumaYuda: “Xa uthe wakha indlu entsha, umele ulwenzele ungqameko uphahla lwakho, ukuze ungazisi tyala lagazi endlwini yakho xa athe [umntu] wawa . . . kuyo.” (Duteronomi 22:8) Olu ngqameko lwaluyimfuneko kuba amaYuda awayephila ngexesha lokubhalwa kweBhayibhile ayelusebenzisela izinto ezinzi uphahla.
Izindlu ezininzi zakwaSirayeli zazinophahla oluthe tyaba. Abantu babehlala kulo ukuze bagcakamele ilanga, babethwe ngumoya okanye benze imisebenzi yasekhaya. Ehlotyeni, kwakulaleka kamnandi eluphahleni. (1 Samuweli 9:26) Umlimi wayeyaneka eluphahleni ingqolowa ukuze ayomise ngaphambi kokuba ayisile, okanye amakhiwane kunye neerasentyisi ukuze zome.—Yoshuwa 2:6.
Uphahla lwalusetyenziswa naxa kunqulwa, enoba kwakunqulwa uThixo okanye izithixo. (Nehemiya 8:16-18; Yeremiya 19:13) Umpostile uPetros waya eluphahleni emini emaqanda ukuze athandaze. (IZenzo 10:9-16) Uphahla lwalunokuba yindawo emyoli yokuphumla xa lusithwe yimithi yeediliya okanye yesundu.
Incwadi ethi The Land and the Book ithi izindlu zamaSirayeli zazisiba nezinyuko okanye ileli eya eluphahleni, “eyayibekwa ngaphandle kwendlu.” Ngoko umnntu wayenokukwazi ukwehla eluphahleni engakhange angene endlwini. Mhlawumbi yiloo nto uYesu wathi xa wayelumkisa ngokutshatyalaliswa kwesixeko: “Umntu ophezu kwendlu makangehli aye kuthabatha iimpahla endlwini yakhe.”—Mateyu 24:17.

Chapter 7
1 Wathi ke umbingeleli omkhulu, Zinjalo na ke ezi ndawo?
2 Uthe ke yena: Madoda, bazalwana, nani bobawo, phulaphulani. UThixo wozuko wabonakala kubawo wethu uAbraham, ekwelaseMesopotami, phambi kokuma kwakhe kwelakwaHaran,
3 wathi kuye, Phuma kuwo umhlaba wakowenu nasemizalwaneni yakho, uze emhlabeni endingakubonisa wona.
4 Waza waphuma ke emhlabeni wamaKaledi, wema kwelakwaHaran. Emveni kokufa kukayise, wamsusa apho, wamfudusela kulo mhlaba nimiyo kuwo nina ngoku.
5 Akamnika lifa kuwo, kwanendawo engangonyawo; kodwa wambeka ngedinga lokuba uya kumnika ube ngowakhe, nembewu yakhe emva kwakhe, phofu engekabi namntwana.
6 Ke kaloku wenjenje uThixo ukuthetha, wathi, imbewu yakhe iya kuba ngabaphambukeli emhla beni wabasemzini; baya kuyenza amakhoboka, bayiphathe kakubi iminyaka engamakhulu omane.
7 Nohlanga olo, ethe yangamakhoboka kulo, ndiya kulugweba mna, watsho uThixo; yaye, emveni kwezi zinto, iya kuphuma indikhonze kule ndawo.
8 Waza wamnika umnqophiso wolwaluko; wathi yena ekuwo, wazala uIsake, wamalusa ngomhla wesibhozo, waza uIsake wamenjenjalo uYakobi, waza noYakobi wabenjenjalo oomawokhulu abalishumi elinababini.
9 Bathi oomawokhulu, bemmonele uYosefu, bathengisa ngaye, bamsingisa eYiputa; kodwa uThixo waba naye,
10 wamncothula kuzo zonke iimbandezelo zakhe, wambabala ngobulumko phambi koFaro, ukumkani waseYiputa; wammisa ukuba abe yirhuluneli phezu kweYiputa nendlu yakhe iphela.
11 Ke kaloku kwafika indlala kuwo umhlaba waseYiputa uphela, nowakwaKanan, nembandezelo enkulu; baye oobawo bethu bengafumani kudla.
12 Akuva ke uYakobi ukuba kukho ingqolowa eYiputa, wesusa oobawo bethu okokuqala.
13 Wathi ngokwesibini, uYosefu wabuya waziwa ngabazalwana bakhe, saza isizalwane sikaYosefu saveliswa kuFaro.
14 Wathumela ke uYosefu wambiza uyise uYakobi, nabo bonke abazalana naye, bayimiphefumlo engamashumi osixhenxe anesihlanu.
15 Wehla ke uYakobi, waya eYiputa, wabhubha yena noobawo bethu;
16 baza bathwalwa basiwa kwaShekem, babekwa engcwabeni awalithengayo uAbraham ngexabiso lemali koonyana bakaHamore, usoShekem.
17 Lithe ke, lakuba lisondele ixesha ledinga, awalifungayo uThixo kuAbraham, bakhula abantu, banda eYiputa,
18 kwada kwavela kumkani wumbi, ubengamazi uYosefu.
19 Lowo wabalumkisa abakowethu, wabaphatha kakubi oobawo bethu, ngokokuze bazilahle iintsana zabo, ukuze zingabudli ubomi.
20 Ekuthe ke kwelo xesha, kwazalwa uMoses; waye emhle kuThixo, wondliwa iinyanga zantathu endlwini kayise.
21 Elahliwe ke, yamchola intombi kaFaro, yazondlela ukuba abe ngunyana wayo.
22 Waqeqeshwa ke uMoses kubo bonke ubulumko bamaYiputa; waye ke eyinkunkqele ngamazwi nangemisebenzi.
23 Kuthe ke, kwakuzaliseka kuye ixesha leminyaka engamashumi amane, kwathi qatha entliziyweni yakhe ukukha aye kuvelela abazalwana bakhe, oonyana bakaSirayeli.
24 Waza, akubona othile esoniwa, wamhlanganisela, wamphindezelela lowo ucinezelweyo ngokumthi qwaka umYiputa:
25 wayeba ke yena boqonda abazalwana bakhe ukuba uThixo ebeya kubasindisa ngesandla sakhe; abaqondanga ke bona.
26 Kananjalo ngengomso wabonakala kubo besilwa, wabanyanzela ukuba baxolisane, esithi, Madoda, niyazalana nina; yini na ukuba nonane?
27 Uthe ke yena owayemonile uwabo wamgiba, esithi, Umiswe ngubani na ukuba ube ngumphathi nomahluli phakathi kwethu?
28 Ungaba wena ufuna ukundisika na, ngohlobo omsike ngalo umYiputa izolo?
29 Wasaba ke uMoses ngelo lizwi, wangumphambukeli emhlabeni wakwaMidiyan, apho wazalela khona oonyana bababini.
30 Kuthe ke kwakuzaliseka iminyaka emashumi mane, kwabonakala kuye kwintlango yentaba yeSinayi isithunywa seNkosi, elangatyeni lomlilo etyholweni.
31 Ke kaloku, akukubona oko uMoses, wamangaliswa ngumbono lowo. Kuthe ke, akusondela ukuba awuqiqe, kwafika izwi leNkosi kuye lisithi,
32 Mna ndinguThixo wabo ooyihlo, uThixo ka-Abraham, uThixo kaIsake, uThixo kaYakobi. Wesuka ke wagubha uMoses, akaba nabuganga bakuwuqiqa.
33 Ithe ke kuye iNkosi, Zithukulule iimbadada ezinyaweni zakho; kuba indawo leyo umi kuyo ingumhlaba ongcwele.
34 Ndikubonile ndakubona ukuphathwa kakubi kwabantu bam abaseYiputa, ndakuva nokuncwina kwabo; ndihlile, ukuze ndibahlangule. Yiza ngoku, ndikuthume eYiputa.
35 Lo Moses bamkhanyelayo, besithi, Umiswe ngubani na, ukuba ube ngumphathi nomahluli? uThixo wathuma yena, ukuba abe ngumphathi nomhlanguli ngesandla sesithunywa esabonakalayo kuye etyholweni.
36 Yena lowo wabakhupha, akubon’ ukuba wenze izimanga nemiqondiso emhlabeni waseYiputa, naseLwandle oluBomvu, nasentlango, iminyaka engamashumi omane.
37 Lowo nguloo Moses wathi koonyana bakaSirayeli, INkosi, uThixo wenu, iya kunivelisela umprofeti kubazalwana benu, onjengam nje; nize nimve yena.
38 Nguye lowo owayephakathi kwalo ibandla entlango, ndawonye nesithunywa sezulu, ebesithetha naye entabeni yeSinayi, noobawo bethu; owamkelayo izihlabo zobomi, ukuze azinikele kuthi;
39 abangathandanga kumlulamela oobawo bethu, besuka bamgiba, babuyela eYiputa ngeentliziyo zabo,
40 besithi kuAron, Senzele oothixo abaya kuhamba phambi kwethu; kuba lo Moses wasikhuphayo emhlabeni waseYiputa, asiyazi into emhleleyo.
41 Benza ithole ngaloo mihla, benyusa amadini, bawasa esithixweni eso, baba nemihlali yimisebenzi yezabo izandla.
42 Wajika ke uThixo, wabanikela ukuba bakhonze umkhosi wezulu; njengoko kubhaliweyo encwadini yabaprofeti kwathiwa, Ningaba nisondeze kum imibingelelo neminikelo yini na Iminyaka emashumi mane entlango, ndlu kaSirayeli?
43 Nathwala umnquba kaMoleki, Nenkwenkwezi yothixo wenu uRemfan, Imifanekiso ke leyo enayenzayo ukuba niqubude kuyo; Ndaye ke ndiya kunifudusela ngaphaya kweBhabheli.
44 Umnquba wesingqino wawukoobawo bethu entlango, njengoko wayemisele ngako owayethetha noMoses, ukuba awenze ngokomfanekiso abewubonile;
45 lo kanjalo bawungenisayo, benikelana ngawo oobawo bethu, benoYoshuwa ekuthinjweni kweentlanga, ezo wazigxothayo uThixo ebusweni boobawo bethu, kwada kwayimihla kaDavide;
46 owababalwayo nguThixo, wacela ukuba amfumanele uThixo kaYakobi umnquba.
47 NguSolomon ke owamakhela indlu.
48 Noko Osenyangweni yena akemi zitempileni zenziwe ngazandla; njengokuba esitsho umprofeti ukuthi,
49 Izulu liyitrone yam, Ke ihlabathi sisihlalo seenyawo zam; Yindlu enjani na eniya kuyakhela mna? itsho iNkosi; Yiyiphi na yona indawo yokuphumla kwam?
50 Asisisandla sam na, esenza zonke ezo zinto?
51 Nina bantamo zilukhuni, bangalukileyo ngentliziyo, nangendlebe, nihleli nibambene noMoya oyiNgcwele; njengabo ooyihlo, nani ninjalo.
52 Kubo abaprofeti nguwuphi na ongatshutshiswanga ngooyihlo? Bababulala ababexela ngenxa engaphambili ukuza koliLungisa; enithe kalokunje naba ngabanikeli nababulali, bakhe.
53 nina nawamkelayo umthetho, niwumiselwa zizithunywa zezulu, anawugcina.
54 Ke kaloku, bathi bakuziva ezi zinto, bahlabeka ezintliziyweni zabo, bamtshixizela amazinyo.
55 Ke yena, ezele nguMoya oyiNgcwele, waqwalasela ezulwini, wabona ubuqaqawuli bukaThixo, noYesu emi ngasekunene kukaThixo.
56 Wathi, Yabonani, ndiwabona amazulu evulekile, ndimbona uNyana woMntu emi ngasekunene kukaThixo.
57 Badanduluka ke ngezwi elikhulu, bazivingca iindlebe zabo, besuka indulumbane phezu kwakhe ngamxhelo mnye,
58 bamkhuphela ngaphandle komzi, bamgibisela ngamatye. Amangqina azibeka iingubo zawo ezinyaweni zendodana ekuthiwa nguSawule.
59 Ayemgibisela ngamatye uStefano, yena ebiza esithi, Nkosi Yesu, wamkele umoya wam.
60 Uguqile ke ngamadolo, wadanduluka ngezwi elikhulu, wathi, Nkosi, ungabamiseli esi sono. Akutsho, walala ubuthongo.

Chapter 35
1 UYosiya wenza ipasika kuYehova eYerusalem; bayixhela ipasika ngosuku lweshumi elinesine lwenyanga yokuqala.
2 Wabamisa ababingeleli phezu kwezigxina zabo, wabomelezela enkonzweni yabo yendlu kaYehova.
3 Wathi kubaLevi ababeqondisa onke amaSirayeli, ababengcwele kuYehova, Yibekeni ityeya engcwele endlwini, awayakhayo uSolomon unyana kaDavide; ukumkani wakwaSirayeli; aniyi kuyithwala emagxeni. Mkhonzeni kaloku uYehova uThixo wenu, nabantu bakhe amaSirayeli.
4 Zilungiseni ngokwezindlu zooyihlo, ngokwamaqela enu, ngokwesibhalo sikaDavide ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, nangokwesibhalo sikaSolomon unyana wakhe;
5 nithi engcweleni nimele izahlulo zezindlu zooyise zabazalwana benu, oonyana babantu, iqela eli labaLevi limele indlu enye yooyise.
6 Nize niyixhele ipasika, nizingcwalise, niyilungisele abazalwana benu, kwenziwe ngokwelizwi likaYehova ngesandla sikaMoses.
7 UYosiya wabarhumela oonyana babantu, bonke abafunyanwayo khona, impahla emfutshane, iimvana, namatakane eebhokhwe, onke lawo angawepasika, engamawaka amashumi mathathu inani; namawaka amathathu eenkomo. Konke oko kwaphuma kwimfuyo yokumkani.
8 Abathetheli bakhe babarhumela abantu nababingeleli nabaLevi iminikelo yabaqhutywa yintliziyo. UHilekiya, noZekariya, noYehiyeli, iinganga zendlu kaThixo, babanika ababingeleli amawaka amabini anamakhulu mathandathu amatakane angawepasika, namakhulu amathathu eenkomo.
9 UKonaniya noShemaya, noNataniyeli, abazalwana bakhe, noHashabhiya, noYehiyeli, noYozabhadi, abathetheli babaLevi, babarhumela abaLevi amawaka amahlanu amatakane angawepasika, namakhulu omahlanu eenkomo.
10 Yalungiswa ke inkonzo leyo; bema ababingeleli ezindaweni zabo, abaLevi emaqeleni abo, ngokomthetho wokumkani.
11 Bayixhela ipasika; ababingeleli bathabatha igazi ezandleni zabo, balitshiza, abaLevi bahlinza.
12 Bakususa okwamadini anyukayo, ukuba kunikelwe kwizahlulo zezindlu zooyise zoonyana babantu, kusondezwe kuYehova, njengoko kubhaliweyo encwadini kaMoses. Benjenjalo nangeenkomo.
13 Bayosa ipasika ngomlilo ngokwesiko; izinto ezingcwalisiweyo bazipheka ngeembiza, nangongxawu, nangeepani, bagidimisa koonyana bonke babantu.
14 Emveni koko bazilungisela ngokwabo kwanababingeleli ngokuba ababingeleli, oonyana baka-Aron, babenyusa amadini anyukayo namaqatha, kude kube sebusuku. Ke abaLevi bazilungisela ngokwabo kwanababingeleli, oonyana baka-Aron.
15 Iimvumi, oonyana baka-Asafu, zibe zisezindaweni zazo ngokomthetho kaDavide, noAsafu, noHeman, noYedutun imboni yokumkani; nabamasango emasangweni ngamasango babengesuki enkonzweni yabo; ngokuba abazalwana babo abaLevi babebalungisela.
16 Yalungiswa ke yonke inkonzo kaYehova, ngaloo mini yokwenza ipasika, nokunyusa amadini anyukayo esibingelelweni sikaYehova, ngokomthetho wokumkani uYosiya.
17 Oonyana bakaSirayeli ababekho bayenza ipasika ngelo xesha, nomthendeleko wezonka ezingenagwele, imihla esixhenxe.
18 Bekungazanga kwenziwe pasika ngokwaleyo kwaSirayeli, kususela kwimihla kaSamuweli umprofeti. Ookumkani bonke bakwaSirayeli abazanga benze pasika, ngokwaloo pasika wayenzayo uYosiya, nababingeleli, nabaLevi, nawo onke amaYuda namaSirayeli abekhona, nabemi baseYerusalem.
19 Kwaba ngomnyaka weshumi elinesibhozo wobukumkani bukaYosiya, ukwenziwa kwaloo pasika.
20 Emveni kwako konke ukuyilungisa kukaYosiya indlu leyo, kwenyuka uNeko, ukumkani waseYiputa, eza kulwa neKarkemishe ngase-Efrati; uYosiya waphuma, waya kulwa naye.
21 Wathuma abathunywa kuye, wathi, Yintoni na enam nawe, kumkani wakwaYuda? Andize kulwa nawe namhla; ndize endlwini endilwa nayo; uThixo uthe mandikhawulezise; mkhwelele uThixo onam, angakutshabalalisi.
22 Ke uYosiya akabusonganga ubuso bakhe kuye; wazenza mntu wumbi, ukuba alwe naye; akawaphulaphula amazwi kaNeko, aphuma emlonyeni kaThixo; weza kulwa esihlanjeni saseMegido.
23 Abatoli bamtola ukumkani uYosiya; wathi ukumkani kubakhonzi bakhe, Ndishenxiseni, ngokuba ndingxwelerhwe kakubi.
24 Abakhonzi bakhe bamthula enqwelweni, bamkhwelisa kweyesibini inqwelo abenayo, bamsa eYerusalem; wafa, wangcwatyelwa emangcwabeni ooyise. Onke amaYuda neYerusalem amenzela isijwili uYosiya.
25 UYeremiya wamenzela isimbonono uYosiya; zathetha zonke iimvumi neemvumikazi ezimbononweni zazo ngoYosiya, unanamhla. Bazenza ummiselo kwaSirayeli; nanzo zibhaliwe ezimbononweni.
26 Ezinye izinto zikaYosiya, nokwenza kwakhe inceba, njengoko kubhaliweyo emyalelweni kaYehova,
27 nezinto zakhe ezokuqala nezokugqibela, nanzo zibhaliwe encwadini yookumkani bakwaSirayeli nabakwaYuda.

1 Ishigayon kaDavide, awayivumayo kuYehova ngenxa yamazwi kaKushi, umBhenjamin. Yehova, Thixo wam, ndizimela ngawe; Ndisindise kubo bonke abandisukelayo, undihlangule,
2 Hleze bawuqwenge njengengonyama umphefumlo wam, Bawudlavule, kungekho mhlanguli.
3 Yehova, Thixo wam, ukuba ndithe ndenza oku, Ukuba kukho ubugqwetha ezandleni zam,
4 Ukuba ndimphethe kakubi obexolelene nam, Ndambhunyula ondibandezele kungekho sizathu:
5 Maluwusukele utshaba umphefumlo wam, luwufumane, Lubunyashele phantsi ubomi bam, Uzuko lwam lululalise eluthulini. (Phakamisani.)
6 Khawusuk’ ume, Yehova, unomsindo, Kuphakamele ukuphuphuma komsindo wabandibandezelayo; Uvuke, undikhawulele; wena umise umgwebo.
7 Ibandla lezizwe malikungqonge; Ubuyele phezulu phezu kwalo.
8 UYehova uya kugweba phakathi kwezizwe. Lithethe ityala lam, Yehova, ngobulungisa bam, nangokugqibelela kwam okukum.
9 Mabuphele ububi babangendawo, ulizimase ilungisa; Ungumcikidi weentliziyo nezintso, Thixo wobulungisa.
10 Ingweletshetshe yam inoThixo, Umsindisi wabantliziyo zithe tye.
11 UThixo ngumgwebi olilungisa; UnguThixo obhavuma yonke imihla.
12 Ukuba ongendawo uthe akabuya, ulilolile ikrele lakhe; Usityedile isaphetha sakhe, wasilungisa.
13 Uzibhekise kuye izixhobo zokufa, Uzenze zanomlilo iintolo zakhe.
14 Yabona, yena unenimba yobutshinga; Ukhawule ububi, wazala ubuxoki;
15 Umbe umhadi, wawugomba; Weyela esihogweni awasisebenzayo.
16 Ububi bakhe bobuyela entlokweni yakhe, Naselukakayini lwakhe kufike ukugonyamela kwakhe.
17 Ndiya kubulela kuYehova ngokobulungisa bakhe, Ndivume ngendumiso kwigama likaYehova ophezu konke.
