1:1 Umbono kaObhadiya. Itshilo iNkosi uYehova ngokusingisele kwelakwaEdom, ukuthi, Sive udaba oluvela kuYehova, kuthunywe isigidimi ezintlangeni sokuthi, Suka nime, sisukele phezulu kulo, silwe nalo.
1:2 Yabonani, ndikwenze wamncinane ezintlangeni, udelekile kakhulu.
1:3 Ukukhukhumala kwentliziyo yakho kukulukuhlile, wena uhleliyo emfanteni wengxondorha, okhaya liphezulu, othi entliziyweni yakhe, Ngubani na oya kundihlisela ehlabathini?
1:4 Ukuba uthe wakhela phezulu njengexhalanga, nokuba ithe indlu yakho yabekwa phakathi kweenkwenkwezi, ndokuhlisa nalapho; utsho uYehova.
1:5 Ukuba amasela ebethe eza kuwe, ukuba amanyangaza ebethe eza ebusuku (hayi, ukunqunyulwa kwakho!), ebengayi kuba anele na? Ukuba babethe beza kuwe abavuni beediliya, babengayi kushiya okungabhikicwayo na?
1:6 Hayi, ukuphengululeka kwezinto zakwaEsawu! Hayi ukukhanukwa kwezinto zakhe eziqhushekiweyo!
1:7 Onke amadoda abenqophisene nawe akukhaphile, ada esa emdeni; akulukuhlile, akweyisile amadoda abexolelene nawe. Isonka sakho asenze inxeba okulalwa ngalo, phantsi kwakho. Akukho kuqonda kuye.
1:8 Andiyi kuthi na ngaloo mini, utsho uYehova, ndizitshabalalise izilumko kwaEdom, neengqondi ezintabeni zakwaEsawu?
1:9 Aya kuqhiphuka umbilini amagorha akho, Teman, ukuze banqanyulwe bonke ezintabeni zakwaEsawu ngokubulawa.
1:10 Ngenxa yokumgonyamela kwakho umninawa wakho uYakobi, kuya kukugubungela ukudana, unqanyulwe ngonaphakade.
1:11 Ngemini owabumi malunga naye, mini abasemzini bathimba ubutyebi bakhe, abolunye uhlanga beza emasangweni akhe, bayenzela amaqashiso iYerusalem: nawe wawunjengomnye wabo.
1:12 Musa ukukhangela kwimini yomninawa wakho ngemini yeshwangusha lakhe, ungabavuyeleli oonyana bakaYuda ngemini yenkxwaleko yabo; ungasineki ngemini yembandezelo.
1:13 Musa ukungena esangweni labantu bam ngemini yeshwangusha labo, ungakhangeli nawe ebubini babo ngemini yeshwangusha labo, ungasi sandla ebutyebini babo ngemini yeshwangusha labo.
1:14 Musa ukuma ekwahlukaneni kweendlela, ukuze unqumle abasabayo bakubo; ungabanikeli abaseleyo bakubo ngemini yembandezelo.
1:15 Ngokuba isondele imini kaYehova kuzo zonke iintlanga. Njengoko wenze ngako, kuya kwenjiwa njalo kuwe; okwenzileyo kuya kubuyela entlokweni yakho.
1:16 Ngokuba njengoko nisele ngako entabeni yam engcwele, ziya kuhlala zisela ngokunjalo zonke iintlanga, zisele zibizele, zibe njengabangabangakho.
1:17 Ke, entabeni yeZiyon kuya kubakho okusindileyo, kube yingcwele; indlu kaYakobi izihluthe iindawo eyazihluthwayo.
1:18 Indlu kaYakobi iya kuba ngumlilo, nendlu kaYosefu ibe lilangatye; indlu kaEsawu ibe ziindiza, batshise phakathi kwabo, babadle, kungabikho usalayo wasendlwini kaEsawu; ngokuba uYehova uthethile.
1:19 Abakwelasezantsi bozithimba iintaba zakwaEsawu; nabasezithabazini bahluthe amaFilisti; bahluthe isisimi sakwaEfrayim, nesisimi sakwaSamari; uBhenjamin ahluthe elaseGiliyadi.
1:20 Abathinjwa bakule mpi yonyana bakaSirayeli baya kubahlutha abangamaKanan, bade base eTsarefa, abathinjwa baseYerusalem abaseSefaradi bahluthe imizi yelasezantsi.
1:21 Konyuka abasindisi entabeni yeZiyon, ukuze bazigwebe iintaba zakwaEsawu, ubukumkani bube bobu kaYehova.

2:12 Ndiyanibhalela, bantwanana, ngokuba nizixolelwe izono zenu ngenxa yegama lakhe.
2:13 Ndiyanibhalela, boyise, ngokuba nimazile owasekuqalekeni. Ndiyanibhalela, madodana, ngokuba nimeyisile ongendawo. Ndiyanibhalela, bantwana, ngokuba nimazile uYise.

2:16 Ngokuba konke okusehlabathini, inkanuko yenyama, nenkanuko yamehlo, noqhankqalazo lobu bomi, asikokuphuma kuye uYise, kokuphuma ehlabathini.
2:17 Ihlabathi ke liyadlula, nenkanuko yalo; ke yena owenza ukuthanda kukaThixo uhleli ngonaphakade.
2:18 Bantwana, lilixa lokugqibela eli; njengoko nevayo ukuba umchasi-Kristu uyeza, nangoku kuthe kwabakho abachasi-Kristu abaninzi, ekuthe ngoko sazi ukuba lilixa lokugqibela.
2:19 Baphuma kuthi, babengengabo abethu; kuba, ukuba babengabethu, ngebahlalayo nathi. Baphuma ukuze babonakale, ukuba bonke babengengabo abethu.
2:20 Nina ninentambiso evela koyiNgcwele, niyazazi ke izinto zonke.
2:21 Andinibhalelanga ngakuba ningayazi inyaniso; ndinibhalele ngokuba niyazi, nangokuba kungekho buxoki buphuma enyanisweni.
2:22 Ngubani na ixoki, ingenguye okhanyelayo ukuba uYesu unguye uKristu? Lowo ungumchasi-Kristu, omkhanyelayo uYise noNyana.
2:23 Bonke abamkhanyelayo uNyana, abanaye noYise.

3:8 Lowo usenzayo isono ungokaMtyholi; ngokuba uMtyholi wone kwasekuqalekeni. Wabonakaliselwa oku uNyana kaThixo, ukuze ayichithe imisebenzi kaMtyholi.
3:9 Bonke abazelwe nguThixo abenzi sono, ngokuba imbewu yakhe ihleli kubo; kananjalo abanakona, ngokuba bezelwe nguThixo.
3:10 Babonakala ngaloo nto abantwana bakaThixo, nabantwana bakaMtyholi. Bonke abangenzi bulungisa abangabakaThixo, nalowo ungamthandiyo umzalwana wakhe.
3:11 Ngokuba le yintshumayelo enayivayo kwasekuqalekeni, ukuba sithandane;

3:13 Musani ukumangaliswa, bazalwana bam, ukuba ihlabathi linithiyile.
3:14 Thina siyazi ukuba sidlule ekufeni, sangena ebomini, ngokuba sibathanda abazalwana. Lowo ungamthandiyo umzalwana uhleli ekufeni.
3:15 Lowo umthiyileyo umzalwana wakhe usisibulala-mntu; niyazi ukuba akukho sibulala-mntu sinobomi bungunaphakade buhleliyo kuso.
3:16 Ngale nto silwazile uthando, kuba yena wasincamela ubomi bakhe; nathi ke sifanele ukubancamela abazalwana ubomi bethu.
3:17 Osukuba ke enayo impilo yeli hlabathi, aze ambone umzalwana wakhe eswele, azivalele iimfesane zakhe kuye, luthini na ukuhlala uthando lukaThixo ngaphakathi kwakhe?
3:18 Bantwanana bam, masingathandi ngazwi nangamlomo; masithande ngezenzo nangenyaniso.
3:19 Siyazi ngale nto ke ukuba singabenyaniso; siya kuzileleza iintliziyo zethu phambi kwakhe.
3:20 Ngokuba ukuba intliziyo yethu iyasigweba, uThixo mkhulu kunentliziyo yethu, ezazi izinto zonke.
3:21 Zintanda, ukuba intliziyo yethu ayisigwebi, sinokungafihlisi kuye uThixo;
3:22 nesithi sikucele siyakwamkela kuye, ngokuba imithetho yakhe siyigcina, sizenze izinto ezikholekileyo emehlweni akhe.
3:23 Nguwo lo umthetho wakhe, ukuba sikholwe ligama lonyana wakhe, uYesu Kristu, sithandane njengoko wasiwiselayo umthetho.
3:24 Lowo uyigcinayo imithetho yakhe uhleli kuye, naye uhleli kulowo. Sazi ngale nto ke, ukuba uhleli kuthi ngoMoya lo wasinikayo.
4:1 Zintanda, musani ukukholwa ngoomoya bonke, bacikideni oomoya ukuba ngabakaThixo na; ngokuba baninzi abaprofeti ababuxoki, abaphume bangena ehlabathini.
4:2 Mazini ngale nto uMoya kaThixo: umoya wonke omvumayo uYesu Kristu eze esenyameni, ungokaThixo;
4:3 nomoya wonke ongamvumiyo uYesu Kristu eze esenyameni, asingokaThixo; lo ngokamchasi-Kristu, lowo niwuvileyo ukuba uyeza; nangoku uselukho ehlabathini.
4:4 Nina ningabakaThixo, bantwanana, nibeyisile bona; ngokuba lowo ukuni nguyena mkhulu kunalowo usehlabathini.
4:5 Bona ngabehlabathi; ngenxa yoko bathetha okwehlabathi, ihlabathi liyabeva ke.
4:6 Thina singabakaThixo, lowo umaziyo uThixo uyasiva thina; ongengokaThixo akasiva. Siwazi ngaloo nto umoya wayo inyaniso, nomoya walo ulahlekiso.
4:7 Zintanda, masithandane; ngokuba uthando lwaphuma kuThixo. Bonke abanothando bazelwe nguThixo, bayamazi uThixo.
4:8 Lowo ungenaluthando akazanga amazi uThixo, ngokuba uThixo uluthando.
4:9 Kwabonakaliswa ngale nto ukusithanda kukaThixo, ngokuthi uThixo amthume ehlabathini uNyana wakhe, ekuphela kwamzeleyo, ukuze sidle ubomi naye.
4:10 Uthando lulapha, ingekukuba samthandayo uThixo thina, ikukuba wasithandayo yena, wamthuma uNyana wakhe ukuba abe sisicamagushelo sezono zethu.
4:11 Zintanda, ukuba wenjenjalo uThixo ukusithanda, nathi sifanele ukuthandana.
4:12 Akukho namnye owakha wambona uThixo; ukuba sithi sithandane, uThixo uhleli kuthi, nothando lwakhe lugqibelele ngaphakathi kwethu.
4:13 Sazi ngale nto ukuba sihleli kuye, naye uhleli kuthi; ngokuba usinike okoMoya wakhe.
4:14 Sibonile thina, siyangqina, ukuba uYise umthumile uNyana ukuba nguMsindisi wehlabathi.
4:15 Othe wavuma ukuba uYesu unguye uNyana kaThixo, uThixo uhleli kuye, naye uhleli kuye uThixo.
4:16 Sikwazile thina, sakholwa kukusithanda kukaThixo. UThixo uluthando; lowo uhleli eluthandweni uhleli kuye uThixo, noThixo uhleli kuye.
4:17 Lugqibelele ngale nto uthando olukuthi, ukuze sibe nokungafihlisi ngomhla womgwebo; ngokuba, njengoko anjalo yena, sinjalo nathi kweli hlabathi.
4:18 Akukho loyiko eluthandweni; lusuka uthando olugqibeleleyo luluphose phandle uloyiko; ngokuba uloyiko lunexhala; lowo ke woyikayo akagqibelele eluthandweni.
4:19 Thina siyamthanda, ngokuba yena wasithanda kuqala.
4:20 Ukuba umntu uthe, Ndiyamthanda uThixo, wamthiya umzalwana wakhe, ulixoki; kuba lowo ungamthandiyo umzalwana wakhe ambonileyo, angathini na ukumthanda uThixo angambonanga?
4:21 Nguwo lo umthetho esinawo uvela kuye: ukuba athi lowo umthandayo uThixo, amthande nomzalwana wakhe.
5:1 Bonke abakholwayo ukuba uYesu unguye uKristu, bazelwe nguThixo; bonke abamthandayo lowo wazalayo, bayamthanda nalowo uzelweyo nguye.
5:2 Sazi ngale nto ukuba siyabathanda abantwana bakaThixo, xa sukuba simthanda uThixo, siyigcina imithetho yakhe.
5:3 Kuba ukumthanda uThixo kuko ukuthi, siyigcine imithetho yakhe; ayinzima ke imithetho yakhe.
5:4 Ngokuba konke okuzelweyo nguThixo kuyaleyisa ihlabathi; lulo ke olu uloyiso oluleyisayo ihlabathi, ukholo lwethu.
5:5 Ngubani na lowo uleyisayo ihlabathi, ingenguye okholwayo ukuba uYesu unguye uNyana kaThixo?
5:6 Lowo ngulo wezayo ngamanzi negazi, uYesu Kristu; engenawo amanzi odwa, enawo amanzi, enalo igazi. UMoya ke ungulo ungqinayo, ngokuba uMoya uyiyo inyaniso.
5:7 Ngokuba bathathu abo bangqinayo emazulwini: uYise, noLizwi, noMoya oyiNgcwele; abo bathathu banye.
5:8 Bathathu abo bangqinayo emhlabeni : uMoya, namanzi, negazi; aba bathathu basingise ntweni-nye.
5:9 Ukuba ubungqina babantu siyabamkela, ubungqina bukaThixo bungaphezulu; ngokuba bubo obu ubungqina bukaThixo, angqinele uNyana wakhe ngabo.
5:10 Lowo ukholwayo kuye uNyana kaThixo unabo ubungqina ngaphakathi kwakhe; lowo ungakholwayo nguye uThixo umenze ixoki, ngokuba engakholwanga bubo ubungqina abungqinele uNyana wakhe uThixo.
5:11 Bubo obu ke ubungqina: ukuba uThixo usinike ubomi obungunaphakade; baye obo bomi bukuye uNyana wakhe.
5:12 Lowo unaye uNyana, unabo ubomi; lowo ungenaye uNyana kaThixo, akanabo ubomi.
5:13 Ndinibhalele ezi zinto, nina nikholwayo kwigama loNyana kaThixo, ukuze nazi ukuba ninobomi obungunaphakade, nokuze nikholwe kwigama loNyana kaThixo.
5:14 Kuko oku ukungafihlisi esinako kuye: ukuba sithi sicele into ngokokuthanda kwakhe, uyasiva.
5:15 Ukuba siyazi okokuba uyasiva esisukuba sikucela, siyazi ukuba sinazo izinto ezicelwayo, esizicelileyo kuye.
5:16 Ukuba umntu uthe wambona umzalwana wakhe esona isono esingasingisi kufeni, wocela, uThixo amnike ubomi, enika abo bonayo ngokungasingisi kufeni. Kukho sona sisingisa ekufeni; anditsho ukuthi makacelele sona.
5:17 Konke ukungalungisi sisono; kukho sono singasingisi khona ekufeni.
5:18 Siyazi ukuba bonke abazelwe nguThixo aboni; usuke athi lowo wazalwayo nguThixo azigcine, aze ongendawo angamchukumisi.
5:19 Siyazi ukuba singabakaThixo, nokuba ihlabathi liphela lilele kongendawo.
5:20 Ke siyazi ukuba uNyana kaThixo ufikile, wasinika ingqondo, ukuze simazi oyinyaniso. Sikuye ke oyinyaniso, kuye uNyana wakhe uYesu Kristu. Nguye lo uThixo oyinyaniso, nobomi obungunaphakade.

UBawo wethu waseZulwini uyazazi iintsikelelo zethu kwaye uyakusinceda xa simbiza sicela Kuye uncedo.
Bazalwane noodade abathandekayo, lekomfa icacisa iminyaka eyi-49 ukusukela ekusekweni kwam, ngoOkhthobha 4, 1963, njengelungu leQumrhu LabaLishumi Elinesibini. Iminyaka engamashumi amane anesithoba lixesha elide. Ngeendlela ezininzi, kodwa, ixesha libonakala lincinane ukusukela kwelaxesha Ndandime epulpitini kwiThebinekile, kwaye Ndanika intetho yam yokuqala kwikomfa yajikelele.
Okuninzi kutshintshile ukusukela ngoOkhthobha 4, 1963. Siphila kwixesha elikhethekileyo kwimbali yehlabathi. Sisikelelwe ngokuninzi. Kwaye ngamanye amaxesha kunzima ukubona iingxaki nokukhululeka okusingqongileyo kwaye singathyafi. Ndifumanise ukuba, kunokuba sibe siqwalasela okubi, sinokukhe sithi xha sibuye umva kwaye sicingisise ngeentsikelelo ezisebomini bethu, kunye nezingathi zincinci, esingaziboniyo ngamanye amaxesha, singafumana ulonwabo olukhulu kakhulu.
Ekukhumbuleni kwam le minyaka igqithileyo iyi49, Ndiye ndafumanisa izinto ezithile. Okunye kukuba amava angabalekileyo ngenxa yobuninzi bawo ayingawo lawo endingaqonda ukuba yimimangaliso. Ngenyaniso, ngexesha lokwenzeka kwawo, ayedla ngokubonakala ingathi yimimangaliso kwaye aqhelekile nokuqheleka. Kodwa kwakhona, xa ndibukisisa kakuhle, la mava abutyebisa kwaye asikelela iimpilo – ingakumbi eyam impilo ngaphantsi kwazo zonke. Ndikucebisa ukuba nawe wenze le nkqubo – ukuba, ujongisise ubomi bakho kwaye ukhangele iintsikelelo, ezinkulu nezincinci, ozamkeleyo.
Okuye kwabethelelwa ngomonde ngexesha ndizikhumbuza ibe lulwazi lwam lokuba imithandazo iyaviwa kwaye iyaphendulwa. Siyiqhelile laa nyaniso ifumaneka ku 2 Nifayi kwincwadi kaMormoni: Abantu bakho, ukuze babenoyolo.” 1 Ndiyangqina ukuba uyolo oluninzi luza xa siqaphela ukuba siyakwazi ukuthetha noBawo wethu waseZulwini ngomthandazo kwaye loo mithandazo iyakuviwa kwaye iphendulwe – mhlawumbi hayi ukuba njanikwaye xa silindele ukuba iyakuphendulwa, kodwa yona iya kuphendulwa kwaye nguBawo waseZulwini owaziyo kwaye osithandayo ngokugqibeleleyo kwaye osinqwenelela ulonwabo lwethu. Akasithembisanga na, “Thobekani; kwaye INkosi uThixo uyakunikhokela ngesandla, kwaye aninike iimpendulo kwimithandazo yenu”? 2
Kule mizuzu imbalwa endiyinikiweyo, Ndingathanda ukwabelana nani nje icuntsu lamava Endibenayo ndisemithandazweni yaviwa kwaye yaphendulwa kwaye eye, xa ndiyifundisisa, izise iintsikelelo ebomini bam nasebomini babanye. Ijenali yam yangemihla ngemihla, egciniweyo ngayo yonke le minyaka, indincedile yandinika izinto ezicacileyo engendingakwazanga ukuzikhumbula ndizibale.
Ekuqaleni kuka1965, Ndandinikwe umsebenzi wokuba ndiye kwiikomfa zengingqi ezizintloko kwaye ndibambe ezinye iintlanganiso kuMzantsi wePasifiki. Yayilundwendwelo lwam lokuqala olu lwakwamanye amazwe ehlabathi, kwaye yayilixesha elingasoze lilibaleke. Okuninzi komoya ngendalo kwenzeka ngelixesha lalo msebenzi ndandiwunikiwe njengoba ndandidibana neenkokheli, namalungu, kwaye nabefundisi.
Ngempela veki yangomgqibelo nangeCawa, Februwari 20 nange21, sasiseBrisbane, eAustraliya, siyokubamba khona iinkonzo zeenkomfa zengingqi eyintloko yaseBrisbane. Ngeloxesha lwezoo ntlanganiso zangoMgqibelo, Ndaziswa kumongameli wengingqi ovela kwenye indawo ekufutshane apho. Kwathi xa Ndixhawula isandla sakhe, Ndaba nomvakalelo womoya onamandla wokuba kufuneka Ndithethe naye kwaye ndimnike iingcebiso, kengoko Ndamcela ukuba ahambe nam xa sisiya kwinkonzo yakusasa ngeCawa kusuku olulandelayo ukuze oku kuphumezwe.
KwiCawa elandelayo, saba nethuba lokundwendwela sobabini. Sancokola ngoxanduva lwakhe oluninzi njengomongameli wengingqi. Xa sasincokola, Ndava kunyanzelekile ukuba ndimnike iingcebiso ngomsebenzi wabafundisi beminyaka emini epheleleyo kwaye nokuba yena namalungu abo bangabanceda njani aba befundisi basengingqini yakhe. Emva koko Ndaye ndafumanisa ukuba le ndoda yayithandaza ukuba ifumane ingcebiso yoku. Kuye undwendwelo lwethu yayibubungqina obukhethekileyo bokuba imithandazo yakhe yaviwa kwaye yaphendulwa. Oku kwakungathi yintlanganiso eqhelekileyo kodwa mna Ndiqinisekile ukuba yayikhokelwe nguMoya kwaye yenza umahluko phaya kula ngingqi yobomi bakhe kwaye nasemsebenzini wakhe, ebomini bamalungu wakhe kwaye nasempumelelweni yabafundisi beminyaka emibini epheleleyo.
Bazalwane noodade, iinjingo zeeNkosi ziphumezwa xa simamela inkokhelo yoMoya. Ngoko Ndiyakholwa ukuba xa ngamandla silandela senza esiphenjelelwa nesikunikwayo ngeemvakalelo zomoya ezizayo kuthi, kungona INkozi iyakusithemba ngosinika imisebenzi Yakhe.
Ndifundile ukuba, njengokuba nditshilo kwimiyalezo edlulileyo, ungaze udumdelise impembelelo. Ngeinye isihlandlo kwiminyaka emininzi edlulileyo, Ndandiqubha kwijim endala yokuzilolonga e Deseret Gym e Salt lake xa Ndava umoya undithuma ngamandla ukuba Ndindwendwele umhlobo wam olungileyo owayelahlekelwe kukusebenza kwamalungu wakhe angezantsi ngenxa yobubi kunye noqhaqho olwalandelayo. Ngoko nangoko Ndayishiya ipool yokuqubha, ndanxiba, kwaye ngoko nangoko ndayokuyityelela le ndonda ilungileyo.
Ekufikeni kwam egumbini lakhe, Ndayifumana ingenamntu. Ekubuzeni kwam Ndava ukuba ndingamfuna kwindawo yokuqubha yalapho esibhedlele, indawo eyayisetyenziselwa impilo yomzimba. Kwabanjalo ngenene. Waziqhuba ngesitulo sakhe wayofika apho kwaye yayinguye yedwa okwelo gumbi. Wayekwelinye icala lendawo yokuqubha, kufutshane elisekugqibeleni elinzulu. Ndambiza, wayewaqhuba isitulo sakhe wazondibulisa. Saba nondwendwelo olumnandi, kwaye Ndamkhapha ndayomfikisa egumbini lakhe lasesibhedlele, apho ndamnika intsikelelo khona.
Esidaleni ndaye ndafunda kwitshomi yam ukuba wayebuhlungu elahlekelwe lithemba ngalaa mini ecingisisa ngokuzibulala. Wayethandazele ukuba afumane ukukhululeka kodwa waze wava ingathi imithandazo yakhe ayiphendulwanga. Waya apho kwindawo yokuqubha nengcinga yokuba le yayizakuba yindlela yokuphelisa ukudakumba kwakhe-ngokuziqhubela kwisiphelo esinzulu samanzi endawo yokuqubha. Ndafika kakuhle ngomzuzu wesithonga, ndiphendula Endikwaziyo ukuba kwakuvela phezulu.
Itshomi yakwazi ukuphila iminyaka emininzi engaphezulu elandelayo egcwele lulonwabo nombulelo. Ndonwabe kakhulu ukuba Ndaba sisixhobo ezandleni zeNkosi ngalaa mini yayisinda kakhulu kwindawo yokuqubha.
Kwesinye isiganeko, uDade Monson kunye Nam siqhuba sigoduka sivela uyokundwendwela abahlobo, Ndava impembelelo endicinezelayo ukuba diye edolophini – kwaye siqhube imigama emininzi – siyokundwendwela umhlolokazi owayemdala owakhe wahlala kwiwadi yethu. Igama lakhe yayingu Zella Thomas. Ngeloo xesha, wayengumhlali kwindawo yokukhathalela abantu. Ngaloo mini ngexesha lase mva kwelanga samfumana ediniwe kakhulu eqobeke amandla kodwa elele ngoxolo ebhedini yakhe.
UZella kwakusekudala eyimfama, kodwa wawaqonda msinyane amazwi wethu. Wabuza ukubangaba ndingamnika na intsikelelo, esitsho nokuba wayelungele ukusweleka ukuba iNkosi imfuna ebuyele ekhayeni. Kwakukho umoya onenzolo omnandi kwelo gumbi, kwaye sonke sasiyazi ukuba ixesha lakhe lokuhlala emhlabeni lizokuba lifutshane. UZella wandithatha ngesandla kwaye wandichazela ukuba wayethandaze kakhulu ukuba Ndiyokumbona kwaye Ndimnike intsikelelo. Ndamxelela ukuba sasifikile ngenxa yempembelelo yeNkosi eyayicace gca evela kuBawo waseZulwini. Ndamphuza ebunzi, Ndisazi ukuba umhlawumbi andizokuphinda ndimbone kobu bomi basemhlabeni. Kwabanjalo nyani, ngokuba wasweleka ngemini elandelayo. Ukuba Ndakwazi ukumnika intuthuzelo noxolo uZella wethu othandekayo kwaba yintsikelelo kuye nakum.
Ithuba lokuba yintsikelelo ebomini bomnye liza lingalindelekanga. Ngobunye ubusuku bangoMgqibelo obabubanda kakhulu ebusika buka 1983–84, uDade Monson kunye Nam saqhuba umgama omde sisiya entabeni eMidway, Yutah, apho sinekhaya khona. Inqanaba lobushushu ngobo busuku lalingaphantsi kuka 24(-31°C), kwaye saye sahamba sabuyela eSalt Lake. Sasesiqhube umganyana oya kwindlela ephezulu yokuqhubela phambi kokuba imoto yethu iyeke ukusebenza. Sasixakene nento singenacebo. Andiqhelanga, ukuba, ndigodole yingqele njengangoba busuku.
Ngokuthandabuza saqala sahamba sibhekise kwidolophu ekufutshane, iimoto zazisidlula zingxola ecaleni kwethu. Ekugqibeleni imoto enye yama, kwaye umfana wacela ukusinceda. Ekugqibeleni safumanisa ukuba amafutha emoto ayekwi tanki yegas aye anquma ngenxa yengqele,oku kwenza ukuba kube nzima ukuba siyiqhube imoto. Lo mfana unobubele wasigodusa wasisa ekhayeni lethu eMidway. Ndazama ukumbhatala imali ayisebenzisileyo ekusincedeni kwakhe, kodwa ngesimilo wala. Wasixelela ukuba uyiBoy Skawuti kwaye ebefuna ukunceda. Ndazazisa kuye, ze wasichazela ukuba uyavuya kakhulu ngethuba alifumeneyo lokuba abe luncedo. Sazigqibela ukuba wayeneminyaka yomfundisi oneminyaka emibini, Ndambuza ukuba unazo na iinjongo zokuya ebufundisini. Waphendula ukuba wayengaqinisekanga ukuba ufuna ukwenza ntoni.
Ngentsasa yomvulo olandelayo, Ndabhalela loo mfana incwadi ndimbulela ngobubele bakhe. Kuloo ncwadi Ndamkhuthaza ukuba aye ebufundisini beminyaka emibini epheleleyo. Ndafaka apho kunye nenye yeencwadi zam kwaye ndakrwela izahluko ezinge nkonzo yobufundisi.
Kanga ngeveki emva koko umama waloo mfana wandiphonela wandixelela ukuba unyana wabo waye ngumfana okhethekileyo kodwa ngenxa yeempembelelo ezithile ebomini bakhe , umnqweno wakhe okwakudala enawo wokuya ebufundisini wanyamalala. Wandixelela ukuba yena notata wakhe bazila ukutya bathandaza ukuba intliziyo yakhe ingatshintsha. Bafaka igama lakhe kuluhlu lamagama athandazelwayo eProvo kwitempile yaseYutha. Babenethemba lokuba nakanjani, ngenye indlela, intliziyo yakhe iyakuchukumiseka okoko kwaye akwazi ukubuyela kumnqweno wakhe wokuba sebufundisini, kwaye akhonze iNkosi ngokholo. Umama wakhe wayefuna ukuba ndiyazi ukuba wayejonga ezaziganeko zalanjikalanga yayibanda njengempendulo yemithandazo yabo ngaye, “Ndiyangqinelana nawe.”
Emva kweenyanga eziliqela nokuncokola kakhulu nalomfana, uDade Monson kunye Nam sasinovuyo kakhulu ukuba sikwai ukuya kwifarewell yakhe yangaphmbi kokuba ahambe aye Ebufundisini eCanada eVancouver.
Ingaba yayilithamsanqa elidaliweyo ukuba iindlela zethu zidibane ngobabusuku bangoDisemba obabubanda? Andikholelwa njalo. Kodwa, ndikholelwa ukuba ukudibana kwethu yayiyimpendulo yemithandazo yeentliziyo ezishushu zonyana ababemthanda.
Kwakhona, bazalwane noodade bam, uBawo wethu waseZulwini uyazazi iintswelo zethu kwaye uyakusinceda njengokuba simbiza Yena ukuba asincede. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba akukho xhala lethu lincinane okanye lingenamsebenzi.
Ndingathanda ukugqibezela ngokubalisa amava endisand’ukuba nawo aye achukumisa abalikhulu. Kwenzeka kumbhiyozo weTempile yase Kansas City, kwinyanga ezintlanu ezidlulileyo. Njengokuba kuqheleke ukwenzeka ebomini bethu, ukuba ngoko kwakusenzeka yayifana naso nasiphi na isiganeko apho yonke into ihamba kakuhle. Kodwa, Ndafunda ngombhiyozo wesithethe owawusenzeka ngenjikalanga yangaphambi kokuba iTempile inikelwe, Ndaqaphela ukuba umidlalo ngoba busuku wawungaqhelekanga. Kodwa, wawumhle kakhulu ungalibaleki.
Njengazo zonke iziganeko zezithethe ezibanjwa ngexesha elinye nomnikelo wetempile, ulutsha lwase Kansas City Missouri Temple District lwalungiselela umdlalo lungamaqela ahlukileyo kwiindawo zabo zokuhlala. Icebo yayikukuba bayakudibana kunye kwindawo erentiweyo kamasipala yengingqi kusasa ngomgqibelo ukuze bafunde ukuba bazakungena phi, bame phi, bame njani kwaye baphume njani nezinye iinkcukacha ukuze umdlalo wokugqibela ubemhle kakhulu kwaye ubenomgangatho ophezulu.
Kwakukho ingxaki enkulu enye ngaloo mini. Wonke umsebenzi wawuxhomekeke kwezirekhodiweyo iindawo ezazizakuboniswa kumabona kude omkhulu owaziwa ngokuba yiJumbotron. Ezi ndawo zirekhodiweyo zazibalulekile kuyo yonke lentsebenzo.
Iingcaphephe zasebenza nzima ngokukhawuleza ukusombulula ingxaki xa uliutsha lona lwalinda, amakhulu alo, belahlekelwa lixesha lokulungiselela elibalulekileyo.
Umbhali nomkhokeli walombhiyozo, Susan Cooper,emva kwexesha wacacisa: “Sisuka kwicebo A-B-Z, sasisazi ukuba akusebenzi. …Njengokuba sasijonga ucwangciso lwexesha nenkqubo, sasiyazi ukuba kuzakuba ngaphaya kwethu, kodwa sasisazi ukuba sinamadla ngezantsi alulutsha oluyi - 3,000. Kufuneka siye ezantsi siyokubaxelela [bona] kwakusenzeka ntoni kwaye sitsale kukholo lwabo.” 3
Ngeyure phambi kokuba ababukeli bomdlalo bangene, ulutsha olwaluyi 3,000 lwaguqa phantsi kunye lwathandaza . Bathandaza ukuba abo ababelungiselela iJumbotron baphenjelelwe ukuba bakwazi amabakwenze ukuyilungisa; bacela ubawo waseZulwini ukuba ancedise koko bona babengakwazi ukwenza ngenxa yokushota kwexesha.
Wathi omnye owabhala ngawo emva kwawo, “Ibingumthandazo ulutsha olungasoze liwulibale, ngenxa yokuba uMoya wanyibilikisa amathambo wabo.” 4
Kwakungekudalanga phambi kokuba omnye wengcaphephe aze ezokubaxelela ukuba ingxaki yafunyanwa kwaye yalungiswa. Wathi isisombululo ibe lithamsanqa, kodwa bonke abolutsha babesazi ngcono.
Ekungeneni kwethu kwindawo kamasipala ngaloo njikalanga, sasingazazi tu iingxaki zaloo mini. Kusesidaleni apho safunda ngazo. Esakungqinayo, kodwa, kwakukuhle, kupolishiwe-ngaphaya kwendakhe ndakubona. Ulutsha lwalukhazmila ngumoya wozuko, onamandla owawuviwa nguye wonke owayekhona. Babesazi nje ukuba mabangene nini, bame phi, kwaye nokuba maqhube njani nabanye abadlali beqonga ababekunye nabo. Xa ndava ukuba amalungiselelo wabo alo mdlalo anqunyulwa esithubeni kwaye amanye amanani ayengalungiselelwanga liqela lonke, Ndothuka. Akukho owayenokwazi. INkosi ngenene yenza umahluko.
Andiyeki ukumangaliseka yindlela iNkosi esikhuthaza ngayo kwaye isikhokelele ebudeni nasebubanzini bekumkani Lakhe kwaye abenalo nexesha lokusinika impembelelo ngomntu omnye – okanye umbhiyozo westhethe esinye okanye iJumbotron enye. Ukuba Uyakwazi, ukuba Uyenza, bubungqina kum obo.
Bazalwane noodade bam, iNkosi isebomini bethu sonke.Uyasithanda. Ufuna ukusisikelela. Ufuna ukuba sifune uncedo Lwakhe. Njengokuba esikhokela kwaye esibonisa kwaye nanjengokuba esiva kwaye ephendula imithandazo yethu, siyakulufumana ulonwabo apha nangoku Esinqwenelela. Yanga singazazi iintsikelelo Zakhe ebomini bethu, Ndiyathandaza ngegama likaYesu Krestu, uMsindisi wethu, amen.

1:21 Kuba kum mna, ukudla ubomi kunguKristu, ukufa kuyinzuzo.
1:22 Ke ukuba ukudla ubomi ndisenyameni kusisiqhamo somsebenzi kum oko, into ke endonyula yona andiyazi.
1:23 Kuba ndixinekile phakathi kwezinto ezimbini; ndinawo umnqweno wokunga ndinganduluka, ndiye kuba noKristu; kuba kokona kulungileyo kakhulu oko;
1:24 kodwa ukuhlala ndihleli ndisenyameni, yeyona nto ifunekayo ngenxa yenu.
1:25 Kananjalo, ndikholose ngoko nje, ndiyazi ukuba ndiya kuhlala ndihlale, ndihleli nani nonke, ukuze nihambele phambili, nivuyiswe lukholo;
1:26 ukuze iqhayiya lenu kuKristu Yesu ngam liye lisanda ngokwanda, ngako ukubuya ndibekho kuni.
1:27 Kodwa ke ukuhlala kwenu makube kokuzifaneleyo iindaba ezilungileyo zikaKristu, ukuze, nokuba ndifikile ndanibona, nokuba andifikanga, ndizive iindaba zenu, ukuba nimi moyeni mnye, ngamphefumlo mnye, nilwela inkolo yeendaba ezilungileyo,
1:28 ningothuswa nantweni-nye ngabo bachasayo; into ke leyo engumbonakalaliso wentshabalalo okunene kubo, kodwa ingumbonakalaliso wosindiso kuni, kube ke oko kuvela kuThixo.
1:29 Ngokuba nababalwa ukuthi, ngenxa kaKristu, ninganeli kukholwa kuye; nababalwa nokuva ubunzima ngenxa yakhe,
1:30 ninawo umzamo onjengalowo nawubonayo kum, nangoku niwuvayo ukuba ukho kum.
2:1 Ukuba ke ngoko kukho usizo kuKristu, ukuba kukho ukhuzo lothando, ukuba kukho ubudlelane boMoya,
2:2 ukuba kukho imfesane neemfefe, luzaliseni uvuyo lwam, ukuze nicinge nto-nye, ninaluthando lunye, ninamphefumlo mnye, nicinga nto-nye;

2:10 ukuze ngegama likaYesu onke amadolo agobe, awabasemazulwini, nawabasemhlabeni, nawabaphantsi komhlaba;
2:11 zithi zonke iilwimi zixele ukuba uYesu Kristu uyiNkosi, kuze kuzukiswe uThixo uYise.

2:14 Izinto zonke zenzeni ningenakukrokra, ningenakuthandabuza,
2:15 ukuze nibe ngabangenakusoleka, abangenabuqhinga; nibe ngabantwana bakaThixo abangenakubekwa bala esazulwini sesizukulwana esigoso, esigwenxa; enithi phakathi kwabo nibonakale ninjengezikhanyiso ehlabathini, nibambelele elizwini lobomi;
2:16 nibe liqhayiya lam, nide nise kwimini kaKristu, ukuba andifumananga ndabaleka, kanjalo andifumananga ndabulaleka.
2:17 Ewe, nokuba ndiyathululwa ngokomnikelo phezu kombingelelo nombuso wokholo lwenu, ndiyavuya, ndivuyisana nani nonke.
2:18 Yithini ke ngokoko nani nivuye, nivuyisane nam.
2:19 Ke kaloku ndithembele eNkosini uYesu, ukuba ndonithumela uTimoti kamsinya, ukuze nam ndonwabe, ndakuzazi iindawo ezingani.
2:20 Kuba andinamntu wumbi, umphefumlo uvana nowam, owothi ayikhathalele ngokwenyaniso imicimbi engani.
2:21 Kuba bonke bafuna ezabo izinto, zingezizo ezikaYesu Kristu.
2:22 Ukucikideka ke kwakhe niyakwazi: ukuba wathi, njengomntwana kuyise, wakhonza kunye nam kuzo iindaba ezilungileyo.
2:23 Lowo ke ngoko ndithembe ukumthuma kwaoko, xa ndithe ndayiqonda imicimbi engam.
2:24 Ke ndikholose ngeNkosi, ukuba nam ngokwam ndoza kamsinya.
2:25 Kodwa ke ndibe kuyafuneka ukuba ndinithumele uEpafrodito, umzalwana wam osebenza nam, umphumi-mkhosi nam, umthunywa wenu ke, umlungiseleli wam kwiintswelo zam;
2:26 ekubeni ke ebenilangazelela nina nonke, edandatheka, ngenxa enokuba nevayo ukuba wayesifa.
2:27 Kuba okunene wayesifa, ephantse ukufa. Ke uThixo wamenzela inceba; akenzela yena yedwa, wenzela nam lo, ukuze ndingabi buhlungu, ndibuhlungu kade.
2:28 Kukhona ngoko ndimthuma ngokukhawuleza, ukuze nithi nakumbona nibuye nivuye, kuthi nokwam ukuba buhlungu kudambe.
2:29 Mamkeleni ke ngokwaseNkosini, ninovuyo lonke; nibabeke abo banjalo;
2:30 ngokuba, ngenxa yomsebenzi kaKristu, wada waphantsa ukufa, ebenza isichenge ubomi bakhe, ukuze enzelelele ukusilela kwenu ekundilungiseleleni.
3:1 Elokugqiba, bazalwana bam, vuyani niseNkosini. Ukunibhalela kwaezo zinto akunqenekile okunene kum, ke nina kuyaninqabisa.
3:2 Zilumkeleni izinja, balumkeleni abasebenzi beento ezimbi, balumkeleni aborhunulo.
3:3 Kuba abolwaluko sithi, thina bakhonza uThixo ngomoya, siqhayise ngoKristu Yesu, singakholosi ngenyama;
3:4 nakuba mna ndibe ndingakholosayo ngenyama; ukuba kukho bani uba unokukholosa ngenyama, bendingaba ngakumbi mna:
3:5 ndalukayo ngomhla wesibhozo, ndingowenzala kaSirayeli, ndingowesizwe sikaBhenjamin, umHebhere wamaHebhere, ngokomthetho ndingumFarisi,
3:6 ngokwenzondelelo ndilitshutshisa ibandla, ngokobulungisa obo basemthethweni ndingongenakusoleka.
3:7 Ndisuke, zona ezo zinto zabe ziyinzuzo kum, zona ezo ndazibalela ekuthini ziyinkxwaleko ngenxa kaKristu.
3:8 Ewe, okunene, ndisuka izinto zonke ndizibalele ekuthini ziyinkxwaleko, ngenxa yokongama kokumazi uKristu Yesu iNkosi yam; endithe ngenxa yakhe ndonakalelwa zezi zinto zonke, ndizibalela ekuthini ziyinkunkuma, ukuze ndimzuze uKristu,
3:9 ndifunyanwe ndikuye, ndingenabo obam ubulungisa, obo basemthethweni; ndinobo bungokukholwa kuKristu, ubulungisa ke obuphuma kuThixo ngalo ukholo;
3:10 ukuba ndimazi, kwanamandla ovuko lwakhe, nokuba ndibe nobudlelane naye ngeentlungu zakhe, ndifaniswe noko kufa kwakhe;
3:11 ukuba ndingade ndifikelele ekuvukeni kwabafileyo.
3:12 Kungekuko ukuthi sendamkele, nokuthi sendigqibelele; ke ndiphuthuma ukuba ndingakuganga na nokukuganga oko, ndathi nam ndagangelwa khona nguye uKristu Yesu.
3:13 Bazalwana, mna andizibaleli ekuthini ndigangile; ke ndenza nto-nye: ndithi, ndizilibala izinto ezisemva, ndisolulela kweziphambili,
3:14 ndiphuthume ngokoxunele umvuzo wobizo lwaphezulu lukaThixo kuKristu Yesu.
3:15 Ngoko masithi, ngangoko singako thina bagqibeleleyo, sicinge oko; kanjalo ukuba nicinga into ngokukumbi, uThixo wonityhilela naleyo.
3:16 Noko ke, apho sifikelele khona, masihambe ngamgca mnye, masicinge nto-nye.
3:17 Yibani ngabaxelisa mna, bazalwana, nixunele kubo abahamba ngokunjalo, njengokuba ninomfuziselo, thina aba ke.
3:18 Kuba baninzi abahambayo, endathetha futhi kuni ngabo, ngoku ke ndithetha ndilila nokulila, ndisithi, bazizo iintshaba zomnqamlezo kaKristu;
3:19 abasiphelo siyintshabalalo, abaThixo usisisu sabo, abaluzuko lulihlazo labo, abanyamekela izinto zomhlaba.
