ISAHLUKO SETJHUMI
Walwela Ukukhulekela Kweqiniso
1, 2. (a) Abantu besitjhaba saka-Elija bebatlhatjhiswe yini? (b) U-Elija waqalana nakuphi ukuphikiswa eNtabeni iKarmeli?
U-ELIJA waqala iwoma labantu njengombana linyuka umbundu weNtaba yeKarmeli. Ngitjho nangamarimarima, umtlhago wabantwaba bewubhalwe ebusweni. Isomiso seminyaka emithathu nesiquntu sabatjhiya banebala.
2 Hlangana nabo bekunabaporofidi bakaBhali abama-450 ebebakhambela phezulu, bazikhakhazisa begodu bamhloye ngehliziyo yoke u-Elija, umporofidi kaJehova. INdlovukazi uJezebheli yabulala iinceku zakaJehova ezinengi, kodwana indoda le yajamelana ngamandla nokukhulekela uBhali. Kodwana bekazokwenza isikhathi esingangani lokho? Mhlamunye abapristabo bebacabanga bona u-Elija angekhe akwazi ukujamelana nabo. (1 Kho. 18:4, 19, 20) IKosi u-Ahabi nayo yafika ikhamba ngekoloyanayo yebukhosini. Nayo gade ingamthandi u-Elija.
3, 4. (a) Khuyini okungenzeka yabangela u-Elija wangenwa mamanzi emadolweni njengombana kuthoma ilanga eliqakathekilekweli? (b) Ngimiphi imibuzo esizoyicabangela?
3 Ngaphambi komporofidi oyedwana loyo bekulilanga angazange alibone elifana nalo ekuphileni kwakhe. Njengombana u-Elija aqalile, ikundla beyilungiselelwe ukubambana ngeenhluthu kwabantu abalungileko nabambi okungakhenge khe kubonwe ngaphambilini. Wazizwa njani njengombana ilangelo lithoma? Naye wangenwa mamanzi emadolweni ngombana “bekamumuntu ofana nathi.” (Funda uJakobosi 5:17.) Nokho, naku esingaqiniseka ngakho: Abhodwe babantu abanganakholo, ikosabo esihlubuki, nabapristi abababulali, u-Elija wazizwa ngasuthi utjhiywe yedwana.—1 Kho. 18:22.
4 Nokho, khuyini eyabangela ama-Israyeli umraro lo? Begodu khuyini esingayifunda emlandweni lo? Cabanga ngesibonelo saka-Elija sekholo nokobana singasisebenzisa njani namhlanje.
Ipi Yesikhathi Eside Ifika Esitlhorini
5, 6. (a) Ngiyiphi ipi u-Israyeli aqalana nayo isikhathi eside? (b) IKosi u-Ahabi yasenza njani isono esikhulu kuJehova?
5 Isikhathi sokuphila kwakhe esinengi, u-Elija wabona bona ukukhulekela kweqiniso bekungatjhejwa, kuthathelwa phasi begodu angananto angayenza ngalokho. U-Israyeli bekasolo asepini yesikhathi eside, ipi hlangana nokukhulekela kweqiniso nokwamanga, hlangana nokukhulekelwa kwakaJehova uZimu nokukhulekelwa kweenthombe kweentjhaba eziwabhodileko. Ngesikhathi saka-Elija, ukukhulekelwa kweenthombe bekurhagele.
6 IKosi u-Ahabi yenza isono esikhulu kuJehova. Yatjhada noJezebheli indodakazi yekosi yeSidoni. UJezebheli bekazimisele ukurhatjha ukukhulekelwa kwakaBhali kwa-Israyeli nokuqeda ukukhulekelwa kwakaJehova. Ingasi kade besele adosa u-Ahabi ngepumulo. Wakhela uBhali itempeli ne-aldare begodu wadosa phambili ekukhulekeleni uzimu wamala lo.—1 Kho. 16:30-33.
7. (a) Khuyini eyenza ukukhulekela uBhali kwaba kumbi kangaka? (b) Malungana nobude besikhathi sesomiso ngesikhathi saka-Elija, kubayini singaqiniseka bona iBhayibhili ayiziphikisi? (Hlanganisa nebhoksi.)
7 Khuyini eyenza ukukhulekela uBhali kwaba kumbi kangaka? Kwadukisa ama-Israyeli, kwasusa abanengi ekukhulekeleni uZimu weqiniso. Bekuyikolo enyenyisako nenelunya. Beyibandakanya iingwadla zetempelini zabaduna nabasikazi, izenzo zomseme ezimbi ngokudluleleko, begodu banikela ngitjho nangabantwana. UJehova waphendula ngokuthumela u-Elija ku-Ahabi bona ayomtjela ngesomiso esizokuhlala bekube ngilapho umporofidi kaZimu amemezela ukuphela kwaso. (1 Kho. 17:1) Kwadlula iminyaka embalwa ngaphambi kobana u-Elija avele ku-Ahabi amtjele bona abuthele abantu nabaporofidi bakaBhali eNtabeni iKarmeli. *
Ngomqondo othileko, amatshwayo anamandla aveza ukukhulekela uBhali asaragela phambili namhlanje
8. Umlando wokukhulekela uBhali lo utjho ukuthini kithi namhlanje?
8 Nokho, ipi le itjho ukuthini kithi namhlanje? Abanye bangacabanga bona indaba yokukhulekelwa kwakaBhali ayisebenzi namhlanje, njengombana singaboni amatempeli nama-aldare wokukhulekela uBhali phakathi kwethu. Kodwana umlando lo awusiwo umlando wekadeni kwaphela. (Rom. 15:4) Ibizo elithi “uBhali” litjho “umnikazi” namtjhana “inkosi.” UJehova watjela abantu bakhe bona kufuze bakhethe yena ‘njengobhali’ wabo namtjhana indoda ebalawulako. (Isa. 54:5) Awuvumi na bona abantu basakhulekela amakhosi ahlukahlukeneko kunokukhulekela uZimu uMninimandla woke? Kungakhathaliseki bona abantu basebenzisa ukuphila kwabo ekufuneni imali, ibizelo, ukuzithabisa, ukuzithabisa ngokomseme, namtjhana ngibaphi abozimu abakhulekelwako ngaphandle kwakaJehova, bakhetha ikosi. (Mat. 6:24; Funda amaRoma 6:16.) Ngalokho, izinto ezinengi eziphawula ukukhulekela uBhali zisesenamandla namhlanje. Ukucabanga ngepikiswano yekadeni ephakathi kwakaJehova noBhali kungasisiza senze ukukhetha okuhle kokobana sizokukhonza bani.
“Ukuhluza”—Njani?
9. (a) Kubayini indawo iNtaba iKarmeli ebeyikiyo bekuyindawo ehle yokuveza ubuzenzisi babakhulekeli bakaBhali? (Qala umtlolo waphasi.) (b) U-Elija wathini ebantwini?
9 Ukuphakama kweNtaba iKarmeli bekwenza ukghone ukubona kuhle kusukela esikhisini seKishoni ukuya phasi eLwandle Elikhulu (iLwandle leMedithera) eliseduze ukuya eentabeni zeLibhanoni le, etlhagwini. * Kodwana njengombana liveza ihloko ngelanga levuthondabeli, bekumatlhuwo wodwa. Inarha ekhe yavunda uJehova ayinikela abantwana baka-Abrahama beyithunyile. Kwanje besele kuyinarha erhatjulwe lilanga, yonakaliswe budlhayela babantu bakaZimu! Njengombana abantwaba bahlangana, u-Elija waya kibo wakhuluma: ‘Kuzabe kube nini nihluza hlangana nemibono emibili? Nengabe uJehova nguZimu weqiniso, mlandeleni; kodwana nengabe nguBhali, landelani yena.’—1 Kho. 18:21.
10. Isitjhaba sekhabo laka-Elija ‘besihluza njani hlangana nemibono emibili,’ begodu ngiliphi iqiniso elisisekelo esalikhohlwako?
10 U-Elija bekatjho ukuthini nekasithi ‘ukuhluza hlangana nemibono emibili’? Abantwaba akhenge batjheje bona kufuze bakhethe phakathi kokukhulekela uJehova nokukhulekela uBhali. Bebacabanga bona bangabakhulekela bobabili—bona bangathabisa uBhali ngemigidi yabo enyenyisako kungilapho basabawa umusa kaJehova uZimu. Mhlamunye bebacabanga bona uBhali angabusisa iintjalo nefuywabo, kungilapho “uJehova wamabutho” abavikela epini. (1 Sam. 17:45) Bebakhohlwe iqiniso elisisekelo—lelo abanye abangalizwisisiko namhlanje. UJehova akahlanganyeli ukukhulekelwa kwakhe nananyana ngimuphi omunye umuntu. Ufuna begodu ufanelwe kukhulekela okukhethekileko. Nanyana ngikuphi ukumkhulekela okuhlangene nokhunye ukukhulekela akwamukeleki kuye, kuyamnyenyisa nokumnyenyisa!—Funda u-Eksodosi 20:5.
11. Ucabanga bona ikulumo ka-Elija eNtabeni iKarmeli ingasisiza njani bona godu sihlole izinto eziza qangi ekuphileni nekukhulekeleni kwethu?
11 Ngalokho-ke ama-Israyeli la ‘bekahluza’ njengomuntu olinga ukulandela iindlela ezimbili ngesikhathi esisodwa. Abantu abanengi namhlanje benza umtjhapho ofanako, bavumela abanye ‘abobhali’ bona bangene emaphilwenabo, babekele ukukhulekela uZimu eqadi. Ukulalela isibawo saka-Elija esirhabileko sokulisa ukuhluza kungasisiza godu sihlole izinto eziza qangi ekuphileni nekukhulekeleni kwethu.
Isivivinyo Esiyivuthondaba
12, 13. (a) Ngisiphi isivivinyo esahlongozwa ngu-Elija? (b) Singatjengisa njani bona sinekholo elinjengelaka-Elija?
12 Ngokulandelako u-Elija uhlongoza isivivinyo. Bekungasi sivivinyo esirareneko. Abapristi bakaBhali bekufuze balungise i-aldare, babeke umhlatjelo kilo; bese bathandaza kuzimabo bona aphembe umlilo. U-Elija naye bekazokwenza into efanako. Wathi “uZimu ozokuphendula ngomlilo nguZimu weqiniso.” U-Elija bekazi kuhle bona ngubani uZimu weqiniso. Ikholo lakhe beliqine kangangobana bekangasabi ukunikela abaphikisi bakhe woke amathuba amahle. Wabavumela bona bathome. Ngalokho bakhetha ikunzi yomhlatjelo bese bakhuluma noBhali. *—1 Kho. 18:24, 25.
13 Asisaphili esikhathini seenkarisomraro. Nokho, uJehova akakatjhentjhi. Nathi singathembela kuye njengombana bekunjalo ngo-Elija. Isibonelo, abanye nebaphikisa lokho okufundiswa yiBhayibhili, asisabi ukubavumela bona kube ngibo abaveza umbonwabo qangi. Njengo-Elija, singalindela uZimu weqiniso bona alungise izinto. Senza lokho ngokuyama, ingasi kithi ngokwethu, kodwana eliZwini lakhe eliphefumulelweko, elenzelwe ‘ukunqophisa imitjhapho.’—2 Thi. 3:16.
U-Elija waqala ukukhulekelwa kwakaBhali njengokubudlhayela, begodu bekafuna abantu bakaZimu nabo bakubone lokho
14. U-Elija wabatererha njani abaporofidi bakaBhali, begodu kubayini?
14 Abaporofidi bakaBhali balungisa imihlatjelwabo bese babiza uzimabo. Barhuwelela iinkhathi ezinengi bathi: “Bhali, siphendula!” Baragela phambili nokurhuwelela njengombana imizuzu nama-awara kukhamba. IBhayibhili ithi: “Kodwana bekunganalizwi, kunganapendulo.” Ngemva kwamadina u-Elija wathoma ukubatererha, abatshima athi uBhali kungenzeka utinazela khulu bona angabaphendula, wathi mhlamunye usendlini encani, namtjhana ulele isigiyana ufuna ukuvuswa. U-Elija wakhuthaza abazenzisaba, “Rhuwelelani.” Ngokukhanyako, waqala ukukhulekelwa kwakaBhalokhu njengobudlhayela, begodu bekafuna abantu bakaZimu nabo bakubone lokho.—1 Kho. 18:26, 27.
15. Kubayini indaba yabapristi bakaBhali ibonisa ubudlhayela bokukhetha nanyana ngiyiphi ikosi ngaphandle kwakaJehova?
15 Ukusabela kilokho, abapristi bakaBhali batjharagana khulu, “barhuwelela khulu bese bazisika ngemikhwa nangemikhondo njengesiko labo, bebavova iingazi.” Koke akhenge kubasize ngalitho. “Bekunganalizwi, kunganapendulo, begodu kunganamuntu olaleleko.” (1 Kho. 18:28, 29) Mbala, bekangekho uBhali. Bekuliriyadlhana elenziwe nguSathana ukususa abantu kuJehova. Iqiniso kukobana, ukukhetha nanyana ngiyiphi ikosi ngaphandle kwakaJehova kubangela ukudana, ngitjho neenhloni.—Funda AmaRhalani 25:3; 115:4-8.
UZimu Weqiniso Uyaphendula
16. (a) Ukulungisa kwaka-Elija i-aldare lakaJehova eNtabeni iKarmeli kungenzeka kwabakhumbuzani abantu? (b) U-Elija waragela njani phambili atjengisa ukuthemba kwakhe uZimu?
16 Malanga ntambama kwaba lithuba laka-Elija lokwenza umhlatjelo. Wavuselela i-aldare lakaJehova ebelibhuruziwe, ngokunganakuzaza elabhuruzwa manaba wokukhulekela okuhlanzekileko. Wasebenzisa amatje ali-12, mhlamunye akhumbuza abanengi eentjhabeni zakwa-Israyeli ezili-10 bona umThetho owanikelwa zoke iintjhaba ezili-12 usawabopha. Bese wabeka umhlatjelwakhe, wathambisa yoke into ngamanzi okungenzeka wawakha eLwandle leMedithera eliseduze. Wemba nomgodi obhoda i-aldare, wawuzalisa swi ngamanzi. Njengombana anikela abaporifidi bakaBhali woke amathuba amahle, wenza okuhlukileko ngoJehova—okutjengisa indlela ebekamthemba ngayo uZimakhe.—1 Kho. 18:30-35.
Umthandazo ka-Elija bewutjengisa bona usasikhathalela isitjhaba sekhabo, ngombana bekakhanuka ukubona uJehova atjhugulula ‘iinhliziyo zaso’
17. Umthandazo ka-Elija wayiveza njani into eza qangi ekuphileni kwakhe, begodu singasilingisa njani isibonelo sakhe emithandazwenethu?
17 Into yoke nesele ilungile, u-Elija wathandaza. Umthandazwakhe bewubetha emhlolweni, watjengisa ngokukhanyako bona khuyini eza qangi ekuphileni kwakhe. Kokuthoma, bekafuna kwaziwe bona nguJehova, ingasi uBhali, ‘onguZimu kwa-Israyeli.’ Kwesibili, bekafuna woke umuntu azi bona yena bekamane asikhonzi sakaJehova; begodu loke idumo kufuze liye Kuye. Kokugcina, watjengisa bona usasikhathalela isitjhaba sekhabo, ngombana bekakhanuka ukubona uJehova atjhugulula ‘iinhliziyo zaso.’ (1 Kho. 18:36, 37) Naphezu kwawo woke umraro owabangelwa kungabi nekholo kwabo, u-Elija bekasabathanda. Emithandazwenethu kuZimu, singatjengisa ukuthobeka okufanako, ukukhathalela ibizo lakaZimu nokurhawukela labo abatlhoga isizo?
18, 19. (a) UJehova wawuphendula njani umthandazo ka-Elija? (b) U-Elija wabawa abantu bona benzeni, begodu kubayini abapristi bakaBhali bebangasifanelekeli isirhawu?
18 Ngaphambi kobana u-Elija athandaze, isiqubutho ebesilapho kungenzeka besizibuza bona uJehova uzokubhalelwa njengoBhali na. Nokho, ngemva komthandazo, akhenge sisaba khona isikhathi sokubuza. Ukulandisa kuthi: “Khonokho umlilo kaJehova wavela ezulwini wadla umhlatjelo neenkuni, amatje nehlabathi waginya namanzi ebekangemgodini.” (1 Kho. 18:38) Ipendulo enamandla kangangani! Abantu basabela njani?
19 Boke barhuwelela: “UJehova nguZimu weqiniso! UJehova nguZimu weqiniso!” (1 Kho. 18:39) Ekugcineni balibona iqiniso. Nokho, bebangakabi nekholo. Eqinisweni, ukuvuma bona uJehova nguZimu weqiniso ngemva kokubona umlilo wehla ezulwini ukuphendula umthandazo akusikho ukutjengisa ikholo okuhle. Ngalokho u-Elija wababawa bona batjengise ikholo ngenye indlela. Wababawa bona benze into ebekufuze ngathana bebayenza iminyaka ngaphambili—ukulalela umThetho kaJehova. UmThetho kaZimu bewuthi abaporofidi bamanga nabakhonza iinthombe kufuze babulawe. (Dut. 13:5-9) Abapristi bakaBhalaba bekumanaba wamambala kaJehova uZimu aphikisana nomnqophwakhe ngamabomu. Bayakufanelekela ukurhawukelwa na? Bona ngisiphi isirhawu abasibonisa boke abantwana abanganamlandwaba ebebabatjhisa baphila njengomhlatjelo kuBhali? (Funda IzAga 21:13; Jer. 19:5) Amadoda layo bekufuze angarhawukelwa nakancani! Ngalokho u-Elija wathi kufuze abulawe—ene kwamambala abulawa.—1 Kho. 18:40.
20. Kubayini ukutshwenyeka kwabaphikisi banamhlanje malungana nokukhipha kwaka-Elija isahlulelo ebapristini bakaBhali kunganasisekelo?
20 Abaphikisi banamhlanje bangayisola khulu indlela isivivinywesi esaphetha ngayo eNtabeni iKarmeli. Abanye abantu bangatshwenyeka ngokuthi abanye abatjhisekeli bekolo bangasebenzisa lokhu bona bathethelele inturhu ebangelwa ukungabekezelelani ngokwekolo. Ngokudanisako, banengi abatjhisekeli bekolo abanenturhu namhlanje. Nokho, u-Elija bekangatjhiseki ngokweqileko. Bekakhipha isahlulelo sakaJehova sokulunga. Nanyana kunjalo, amaKrestu weqiniso ayazi bona angekhe alandele ikambo ka-Elija yokubulala abambi. Kunalokho, alandela ikambiso yabo boke abafundi bakaJesu efumaneka emezwini kaKrestu aya kuPitrosi athi: “Buyisela isabula yakho endaweni yayo! Boke abaphethe isabula bazakufa ngesabula.” (Mat. 26:52) UJehova uzokusebenzisa iNdodanakhe bona ikhiphe isahlulelo sokulunga esikhathini esizako.
21. Kubayini isibonelo saka-Elija sifanele amaKrestu weqiniso namhlanje?
21 Umthwalo womKrestu weqiniso kutjengisa ikholo ngendlela aphila ngayo. (Jwa. 3:16) Enye indlela yokwenza lokho kulingisa amadoda anekholo anjengo-Elija. Wakhulekela uJehova ngokukhethekileko begodu wakhuthaza nabanye bona benze njalo. Ngesibindi wabuveza ngokukhanyako ubuzenzesi bekolo uSathana ayisebenzisako ukudukisa abantu bakaJehova. Begodu wathembela kuJehova bona alungise izinto kunokuyama emandlenakhe nakilokho okufunwa nguye. U-Elija walwela ukukhulekela okuhlanzekileko. Kwanga soke singalingisa ikholo lakhe!
^ isig. 7 Qala ibhoksi elithi “Isomiso Sangesikhathi Saka-Elija Sathatha Isikhathi Eside Kangangani?”
^ isig. 9 INtaba iKarmeli ngokuvamileko yihle begodu ihlaza, njengombana ukuba swe okuvela elwandle kukhuphukela emibundwini yakhona kanengi kwenza kune izulu begodu kube nombethe. Njengombana uBhali bekaziwa ngokunisa izulu, intaba le ngokukhanyako beyiyindawo eqakathekileko yokukhulekela uBhali. Indawo engakavundi, iKarmeli eyomileko yaba yindawo ehle yokuveza ukukhulekela uBhali okumamala.
^ isig. 12 Ngokukhanyako, u-Elija wabatjela: “Akukafuzi niphembe umlilo” emhlatjelweni. Ezinye izazi zithi abakhonzi beenthombe abanjalo ngezinye iinkhathi bebasebenzisa imigodi engaphasi bona kubonakale ngasuthi umlilo uphenjwe mamandla angaphezu kwawemvelo.

26 “Kuyothi ekugcineni lapho ungena ezweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona njengefa, usulithathile wahlala kulo,+
2 uthathe okunye kolibo+ lwazo zonke izithelo zenhlabathi, oyozingenisa zivela ezweni lakho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona, uzifake kubhasikidi uye endaweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ayokhetha ukuba igama lakhe lihlale kuyo.+
3 Kumelwe uye kumpristi+ oyobe esebenza ngalezo zinsuku uthi kuye, ‘Namuhla kumelwe ngibike kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ukuthi ngingenile ezweni uJehova afunga kokhokho bethu ukusinika lona.’+
4 “Umpristi kumelwe athathe ubhasikidi esandleni sakho awubeke phambi kwe-altare likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho.
5 Kumelwe ukhulume phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, uthi, ‘Ubaba wayengumSiriya owayeshabalala;+ futhi wehlela eGibhithe+ wagogobala khona enabantu abambalwa kakhulu ngesibalo;+ kodwa wafika lapho waba yisizwe esikhulu, esinamandla nesinabantu abaningi.+

13 Kumelwe uthi phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ‘Ngikususile okungcwele endlini futhi ngikuniké umLevi nomfokazi, intandane nomfelokazi,+ ngokuvumelana nawo wonke umyalo wakho ongiyalé ngawo. Angizange ngiyeqe imiyalo yakho, futhi angizange ngikhohlwe.+
14 Angizange ngikudle phakathi nokulila kwami, futhi angizange ngisuse noma yini kukho lapho ngingcolile, futhi anginikelelanga umuntu ofile noma yini yako. Ngililalele izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wami. Ngenzé ngokuvumelana nakho konke ongiyalé ngakho.
15 Siza ubheke phansi usendaweni yakho engcwele,+ amazulu, ubusise abantu bakho u-Israyeli+ nezwe osinike lona, njengoba nje wafunga kokhokho bethu,+ izwe eligeleza ubisi noju.’+
16 “Ngalolu suku uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakuyala ukuba ufeze lezi ziqondiso nezinqumo zokwahlulela;+ kumelwe uzigcine futhi uzifeze ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho+ nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho.+
17 Namuhla unxenxé uJehova ukuba athi uyoba nguNkulunkulu wakho lapho uhamba ezindleleni zakhe futhi ugcina iziqondiso zakhe+ nemiyalo yakhe+ nezinqumo zakhe zokwahlulela+ futhi ulalela izwi lakhe.+
18 UJehova, yena, ukunxenxé ukuba usho namuhla ukuthi uyoba yisizwe sakhe, impahla ekhethekile,+ njengoba nje ekuthembisile,+ nokuthi uyogcina yonke imiyalo yakhe,
19 nokuthi uyokuphakamisa ngaphezu kwazo zonke ezinye izizwe azenzile,+ umphumela kube indumiso, nedumela elihle nobuhle, kuyilapho uzibonakalisa uyisizwe esingcwele kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho,+ njengoba nje ethembisile.”

Zigcine Unempilo Enhle
Ukunakekela impilo yakho kungathuthukisa indlela osebenza ngayo esikoleni—nesimo sempilo yakho.
KUNENGQONDO ukunakekela umzimba uNkulunkulu akunike wona. (IHubo 139:14) Ake sifanekise: Ake sithi unemoto, kodwa awuziniki nje nhlobo isikhathi sokuyinakekela. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi izophuka. Kungenzeka okufanayo nangomzimba wakho. Hlobo luni “lokunakekelwa” umzimba oludingayo?
Ukuphumula.
Ukungalali ngokwanele kungakwenza ubukeke ukhathele futhi uzizwe ucobekile, udidekile futhi ucindezelekile. Kanti ukuphumula okwanele kuyokunika amandla engeziwe. Kungenza nomzimba wakho ukhule ngokushesha, kuthuthukise ukusebenza kwengqondo, kuqinise amasosha omzimba, kuthuthukise nesimo sakho esingokomzwelo. Yizinzuzo ezinkulu lezi ongazithola ngokuphumula, okuyinto engenzima neze!
Icebiso: Uma kungenzeka, zama ukulala ngesikhathi esifanayo nsuku zonke.
Ukudla ukudla okunomsoco.
Intsha ikhula ngokushesha. Ngokwesibonelo, phakathi neminyaka eyishumi nengu-17, iningi labafana lisiphinda kabili isisindo somzimba. Amantombazane nawo aba nezikhathi akhula ngazo ngokushesha. Imizimba ekhulayo idinga uhlaza oluningi namandla. Qikelela ukuthi unika umzimba wakho umsoco odingekayo.
Icebiso: Yidla njalo ekuseni. Ukudla ngaphambi kokuya esikoleni kungakusiza uthuthukise izinga lokugxilisa ingqondo nenkumbulo.
Ukuzivocavoca.
IBhayibheli liyavuma ukuthi “ukuzivocavoca kuyawuzuzisa umzimba.” (1 Thimothewu 4:8, Contemporary English Version) Kungaqinisa imisipha namathambo, kukwenze ungakhathali ngokushesha, ungakhuluphali ngokweqile, kwenze ingqondo iphaphame, kuqinise amasosha omzimba, kunciphise ukucindezeleka futhi kwenze umoya wakho uthokoze. Yebo, ukuzivocavoca kungakujabulisa ngoba kungahlanganisa nezinto othanda ukuzenza!
Iphuzu eliyinhloko: Ukulala ngokwanele, ukudla ukudla okunomsoco nokuzivocavoca okusesilinganisweni kuyokusiza ugcine umzimba usesimweni esihle. Kanti lokho kuyokusiza uthuthukise nendlela osebenza ngayo ekilasini. *
Kungani ungaqali manje? Yiba nesimiso esisebenzisekayo sokuzivocavoca. Naka izikhathi zakho zokulala kanye nokudla okudlayo inyanga yonke, bese ubhala phansi noma yiziphi izinguquko okudingeka uzenze.
“Lapho ngihamba ngenjongo yokuzivocavoca, ngizizwa ngithola amandla engeziwe—ngisho noma bengikhathele ngesikhathi ngiqala.”—UJason waseNew Zealand.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu wenza ukudla ukuze kunike imizimba yethu amandla, ngakho ngifuna ukudla ukudla okunomsoco!”—UJill wase-United States.
“Ngigijima kathathu ngesonto, ngigibele ibhayisekili noma ngihambe ngezinyawo kabili ngesonto. Ukuzivocavoca kunginika amandla engeziwe futhi kuqede ukucindezeleka.”—UGrace wase-Australia.

Wayesephendula uJobe, wathi:
2 “Nanamuhla ukukhala kwami kumunyu; isandla sami siyasinda ngokububula kwami.
3 Sengathi ngingazi ukuthi ngiyakumtholaphi, ngize ngifike endlini yakhe,
4 ngilungise ukwahlulelwa kwami phambi kwakhe, ngigcwalise umlomo wami ngezimpendulo.
5 Bengiyakuwazi amazwi abeyakungiphendula ngawo, ngiqonde ukuthi ubeyakuthini kimi.
6 Ubeyakuphikisana nami ngamandla akhe amakhulu na? Cha, ubeyakubhekisa kimi.
7 Lapho olungileyo ubeyakuphikisana naye, mina ngikhululwe kumahluleli wami kuze kube phakade.
8 Kodwa bheka, ngiya empumalanga, kepha akakho, nasentshonalanga, kepha angimboni,
9 nangasenyakatho ekusebenzeni kwakhe, kepha akabonwa; ujikela ngaseningizimu, kepha akabonakali.
10 Ngokuba uyayazi indlela yami; esengivivinyile, ngiyakuphuma njengegolide.
11 Unyawo lwami lunamathele ezinyathelweni zakhe; ngigcinile indlela yakhe, angiphambukanga.
12 Angichezukanga emyalweni wezindebe zakhe; ngizibekele amazwi akhe kunezimiso zami.
13 “Kodwa uyinto inye, ngubani ongambuyisa na? Okufisayo umphefumulo wakhe, lokho uyakwenza.
14 Uyakufeza engikumiselweyo; izinto eziningi ezinjalo zikuye.
15 Ngalokho ngishaywa luvalo ebusweni bakhe; lapho ngikuqaphela, ngiyamesaba.
16 NguNkulunkulu odangalisileyo inhliziyo yami, uSomandla ungethusile,
17 ngokuba anginqunywanga, bungakafiki ubumnyama; wangifihlela ukuhlwa.

4 Ukhona umfula omanzi awo athokozisa umuzi kaNkulunkulu, indlu engcwele yoPhezukonke. 46:4 AmaH. 48:1.
5 UNkulunkulu uphakathi kwawo, awuyikuzanyazanyiswa; uNkulunkulu uyakuwusiza ngovivi lokusa. 46:5 AmaH. 30:5.
6 Izizwe ziyaxokozela; imibuso iyazamazama; uphumisela izwi lakhe, umhlaba uncibilike.
7 UJehova Sebawoti unathi; uNkulunkulu kaJakobe uyinqaba yethu. Sela 46:7 Rom. 8:31.
8 Wozani nibone izenzo zikaJehova, izincithakalo azenzileyo emhlabeni. 46:8 AmaH. 66:5.

10 Thulani, niqonde ukuthi mina nginguNkulunkulu; ngiyakuphakama phakathi kwabezizwe, ngiphakame emhlabeni. 46:10 Isaya 30:15.

2 Xwayani izinja, nixwaye izisebenzi ezimbi, nixwaye abokusika.
3 Ngokuba singukusoka thina esikhonza ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu, sizibonga kuKristu Jesu, singethembi enyameni,
4 nakuba nami bengingaba nokwethemba enyameni. Uma omunye umuntu ecabanga ukuthi unokwethemba enyameni, mina kakhulu;

Umbono ka-Isaya, indodana ka-Amose, awubonayo ngoJuda neJerusalema emihleni ka-Uziya, noJothamu, no-Ahazi, noHezekiya, amakhosi akwaJuda.
2 Yizwani, mazulu, ubeke indlebe, mhlaba, ngokuba uJehova ukhuluma uthi: “Ngikhulisile ngiphakamisile abantwana, kepha bangihlubukile.
3 Inkabi iyamazi umniniyo nembongolo umkhombe womnikaziyo; u-Israyeli akazi, isizwe sami asiqondi.”
4 Hawu, sizwe esonayo, bantu abasindwe ngububi, nzalo yababi, bantwana abonakeleyo! Bamshiyile uJehova, bamdelele oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, babuyele emuva.
5 Ningabe nisashaywa kuphi, nisaqhubeka ukwambuka, na? Lonke ikhanda liyagula, nayo yonke inhliziyo ibuthakathaka.
6 Kusukela ematheni onyawo kuze kube sekhanda akukho okuphelele, ngamanxeba nje, nemivimbo, nemidwa emisha; akukhanywanga ubovu, akuboshwanga, akuthanjiswanga ngamafutha.
7 Izwe lakini liyihlane, imizi yenu ishisiwe ngomlilo, umhlabathi wenu udliwa ngabafokazi phambi kwenu, kuyihlane njengokuchitha kwabafokazi.
8 Indodakazi yaseSiyoni isele njengexhiba esivinini, nanjengedladla ensimini yamaselwa, nanjengomuzi ovinjezelweyo.
9 Uma uJehova Sebawoti ebengasishiyelanga insali, besiyakuba njengeSodoma, sifane neGomora.
10 Yizwani izwi likaJehova nina babusi baseSodoma, nibeke indlebe ekufundiseni kukaNkulunkulu wethu nina bantu baseGomora.
11 “Iyini kimi imihlatshelo yenu eminingi na?” usho uJehova; “ngisuthile ngeminikelo yokushiswa yezinqama nangeyamanoni amathole akhuluphalisiweyo; negazi lezinkunzi nelamawundlu nelezimpongo angithokozi ngalo.
12 Lapho nifika ukubona ubuso bami, ngubani okubize lokhu esandleni senu ukuba ninyathele amagceke ami na?
13 Ningabe nisaletha iminikelo eyize yempuphu; impepho iyisinengiso kimi; ezokwethwasa kwenyanga namasabatha nokubiza imihlangano angivumi ububi kanye nemikhosi.
14 Ezokwethwasa zenu kwenyanga nemikhosi yenu emisiweyo kuyazondwa ngumphefumulo wami; kungumthwalo phezu kwami, ngikhathele ngukukuthwala.
15 Lapho nelula izandla zenu, ngiyakufihla kini amehlo ami; yebo, lapho nenza imikhuleko eminingi, angiyikuzwa; izandla zenu zigcwele igazi.
16 Gezani, nihlanzeke, nisuse ububi bezenzo zenu phambi kwamehlo ami, niyeke ukwenza okubi.
17 Fundani ukwenza okuhle, nifune ukwahlulela, niqondise abacindezeli, nahlulele izintandane, nimele umfelokazi.
18 “Wozani-ke, sithethe indaba,” usho uJehova; “noma izono zenu zibomvu kakhulu, ziyakuba mhlophe njengeqhwa; noma zibomvu njengokububende, ziyakuba njengoboya bezimvu.
19 Uma nivuma, nilalela, niyakudla okuhle kwezwe;
20 kepha uma nala, nihlubuka, niyakudliwa yinkemba,” ngokuba umlomo kaJehova ukhulumile.
21 Yeka umuzi othembekileyo waphenduka, waba yisifebe, wena owawugcwele ukwahlulela! Ukulunga kwakuhlezi khona, kepha manje ababulali.
22 Isiliva lakho seliphendukile amanyela; iwayini lakho lixubene namanzi.
23 Izikhulu zakho ziyizihlubuki nabangane bamasela; bonke bathanda izipho, balandela imivuzo; abahluleli izintandane, nendaba yomfelokazi ayifinyeleli kubo.
24 Ngalokho ithi iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti, uMninimandla ka-Israyeli: “E, ngiyakuzikhulula kwabamelene nami, ngiziphindisele ezitheni zami,
25 ngibuyisele isandla sami kuwe, ngicwengisise impela amanyela akho, ngisuse lonke ithini lakho,
26 ngibuyisele abahluleli bakho njengakuqala, nabeluleki bakho njengasekuqaleni, andukuba ubizwe ngokuthi uMuzi Wokulunga, uMuzi Othembekileyo.”
27 ISiyoni liyakuhlengwa ngokwahlulela nabaphendukayo kulo ngokulunga.
28 Izihlubuki nezoni ziyakubhujiswa kanyekanye, nabamshiyayo uJehova bayakuqedwa.
29 “Yebo, bayakuba namahloni ngama-oki enawanxanelayo, niyangaze ngamasimu enawakhethayo.
30 Ngokuba niyakuba njenge-oki elimaqabunga alo abunile, nanjengensimu engenamanzi.

UJefta wakwaGileyadi wayeyiqhawe elinamandla; wayeyindodana yesifebe; uGileyadi wamzala uJefta.
2 UmkaGileyadi wamzalela amadodana; esekhulile amadodana omkakhe amxosha uJefta, athi kuye: “Awuyikulidla ifa endlini kababa, ngokuba uyindodana yomunye owesifazane.”
3 UJefta wabalekela abafowabo, wahlala ezweni laseThobi; kwabuthana kuJefta amayiyane, aphuma naye.
4 Kwathi emva kwesikhashana abantwana bakwa-Amoni balwa no-Israyeli.
5 Bathi abantwana bakwa-Amoni belwa no-Israyeli, amalunga akwaGileyadi aya amlanda uJefta ezweni laseThobi.
6 Athi kuJefta: “Woza ube ngumholi wethu, silwe nabantwana bakwa-Amoni.”
7 UJefta wathi kumalunga akwaGileyadi: “Aningizondanga yini, nangixosha endlini kababa na? Nizelani kimi manje nisekuhluphekeni na?”
8 Amalunga akwaGileyadi athi kuJefta: “Sibuyele kuwe manje ngalokhu ukuba uhambe nathi, ulwe nabantwana bakwa-Amoni, ube yinhloko phezu kwabo bonke abakhe kwaGileyadi.”
9 Wayesethi uJefta kumalunga akwaGileyadi: “Uma ningibuyisa ukulwa nabantwana bakwa-Amoni, uJehova abanikele phambi kwami, ngiyakuba yinhloko yenu.”
10 Amalunga akwaGileyadi athi kuJefta: “UJehova makabe ngufakazi wethu; impela siyakwenza njengezwi lakho.”
11 UJefta wayesehamba namalunga akwaGileyadi; abantu bamenza inhloko nomholi phezu kwabo; uJefta wakhuluma onke amazwi akhe phambi kukaJehova eMispa.
12 UJefta wathuma izithunywa enkosini yabantwana bakwa-Amoni, wathi: “Unamsebenzi muni nami ukuba uze kimi ukulwa nezwe lakithi na?”
13 Inkosi yabantwana bakwa-Amoni yathi kuzo izithunywa zikaJefta: “Ngokuba u-Israyeli walithatha izwe lakithi ekukhuphukeni kwakhe eGibithe, kusukela e-Arinoni kuze kube seJaboki naseJordani, buyisani lawo mazwe ngokuthula.”
14 UJefta wabuye wathuma izithunywa enkosini yabantwana bakwa-Amoni,
15 wathi kuyo: “Usho kanje uJefta, uthi: U-Israyeli akathathanga izwe lakwaMowabi nezwe labantwana bakwa-Amoni.
16 Ngokuba ekukhuphukeni kwabo eGibithe, u-Israyeli ehamba ehlane waze wafika eLwandle Olubomvu, wafika naseKadeshi,
17 u-Israyeli wathuma izithunywa enkosini yakwa-Edomi, wathi: ‘Ake ngidabule izwe lakho;’ kepha inkosi yakwa-Edomi ayilalelanga; nasenkosini yakwaMowabi wathuma kanjalo; kepha ayivumanga; u-Israyeli wayesehlala eKadeshi.
18 “Wayesehamba ehlane, wazungeza izwe lakwa-Edomi nezwe lakwaMowabi, weza ngasempumalanga kwezwe lakwaMowabi, wamisa ngaphesheya kwe-Arinoni; kepha abangenanga emkhawulweni wakwaMowabi, ngokuba i-Arinoni lalingumkhawulo wakwaMowabi. 11:18 Num. 21:13.
19 “U-Israyeli wayesethuma izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, inkosi yaseHeshiboni; u-Israyeli wathi kuye: ‘Ake sidabule izwe lakho, siye endaweni yethu.’
20 Kodwa uSihoni akamethembanga u-Israyeli ukuba adabule emkhawulweni wakhe; kepha uSihoni wabutha bonke abantu bakhe, wamisa eJahasi, walwa no-Israyeli.
21 “UJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wanikela uSihoni nabo bonke abantu bakhe esandleni sakwa-Israyeli, bababulala; u-Israyeli wadla izwe lonke lama-Amori, abantu balelo zwe.
22 Badla izwe lonke lama-Amori, kusukela e-Arinoni kuze kube seJakobi, kusukela ehlane kuze kube seJordani.
23 “Manje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uwaxoshile ama-Amori phambi kwabantu bakhe u-Israyeli; wena uyakulidla izwe na?
24 Awuyikudla lelo uKemoshi unkulunkulu wakho akunika lona ukuba ulidle na? Kanjalo bonke uJehova, uNkulunkulu wethu, abaxosha phambi kwethu, siyalidla elabo.
25 Pho, ungcono yini kunoBalaki indodana kaSipori, inkosi yakwaMowabi, na? Wake waphikisana no-Israyeli, wake walwa nabo na?
26 U-Israyeli esahlala eHeshiboni nasemizaneni yalo, nase-Aroweri nasemizaneni yalo, nasemizini yonke engaseceleni kwe-Arinoni iminyaka engamakhulu amathathu, anisaphucanga ngani yona ngaleso sikhathi na?
27 Mina angikonanga, kepha wena wenza okubi kimi ngokulwa nami; uJehova uMahluleli makahlulele namuhla phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli nabantwana bakwa-Amoni.”
28 Kodwa inkosi yabantwana bakwa-Amoni ayilalelanga amazwi kaJefta awathuma kuyo.
29 Khona uMoya kaJehova wafika kuJefta, wadlula kwaGileyadi nakwaManase, wadlula naseMispa lakwaGileyadi; esuka eMispa lakwaGileyadi wadlulela kubantwana bakwa-Amoni.
30 UJefta wenza isithembiso kuJehova, wathi: “Uma uyakunikela impela abantwana bakwa-Amoni esandleni sami,
31 kuyakuthi noma yikuphi okuphuma eminyango yendlu yami ukungihlangabeza, lapho ngibuya ngokuthula kubantwana bakwa-Amoni, kube ngokukaJehova, nginikele ngakho kube ngumnikelo wokushiswa.”
32 UJefta wayesedlulela kubantwana bakwa-Amoni ukulwa nabo; uJehova wabanikela esandleni sakhe.
33 Wababulala kusukela e-Aroweri kuze kufike eMiniti, imizi engamashumi amabili, nase-Abela Keramimi ngokuceka okukhulu kakhulu. Kanjalo abantwana bakwa-Amoni banqotshwa phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
34 UJefta weza eMispa endlini yakhe; bheka, indodakazi yakhe yaphuma ukumhlangabeza, iza nezigubhu nokusina; yayingumntwana oyedwa; ngaphandle kwakhe wayengenandodana nandodakazi.
35 Kwathi lapho eyibona, waklebhula izingubo zakhe, wathi: “Hawu, mntanami, ungithobisile kakhulu, ungomunye wabangihluphayo, ngokuba ngivulile umlomo kuJehova, angisenakubuya.”
36 Wathi kuye: “Baba, uvulile umlomo wakho kuJehova; yenza kimi njengokuphumileyo emlonyeni wakho, lokhu uJehova ekuphindisele ezitheni zakho, abantwana bakwa-Amoni.”
37 Yathi kuyise: “Mangenzelwe lokhu: ngiyeke izinyanga ezimbili ukuba ngiye, ngehlele ezintabeni, ngililele ubuntombi bami, mina nabangane bami.”
38 Wathi: “Hamba.” Wayimukisa izinyanga ezimbili; yamuka yona nabangane bayo, yalilela ubuntombi bayo ezintabeni.
39 Kwathi ngasekupheleni kwezinyanga ezimbili, yabuyela kuyise owenza kuyo njengokwesithembiso sakhe asethembisileyo; ayiyazanga indoda.
40 Kwaba yisimiso kwa-Israyeli ukuba amadodakazi akwa-Israyeli aye yonke iminyaka ukuyitusa indodakazi kaJefta wakwaGileyadi izinsuku ezine ngomnyaka.

Dumisani UKrestu—IKosi Ephazimulako!
“Yiba nepumelelo nawuphumako.”—RHU. 45:5; [45:4, NW].
1, 2. Yini engakangaka ngeRhubo 45?
IKOSI ephazimulako igabadula endleleni yeqiniso nokulunga, njengombana ikapanisa amanaba wayo. Ngemva kokuwabetha phasi, ithatha umakoti ophulwa lijamo. Ikosi le ikhunjulwa beyidunyiswe ziinzukulwana ngeenzukulwana. Leyo-ke yindaba edenjwa yiRhubo 45.
2 Kukuhle kunjalo, iRhubo 45 limumethe okungaphezu kwalokho ongakucabanga. Okukhulunywa ngakho lapho, kubandakanya ukuphila kwethu kwanje, nekwangesikhathi esizako. Akhesilihlaziyeni-ke irhubweli.
“IHLIZIYWAMI IPHUPHUMA NGAMEZWI AMAHLE”
3, 4. (a) Siphehlwa ngimaphi “amezwi amahle,” begodu lokho kuzenzani iinhliziyo zethu? (b) ‘Ikondlwethu ngeyengwenyama’ ngayiphi indlela, begodu amalimi wethu wona afana ngani nesiba lakasosiba?
3 Funda iRhubo 45:2; [45:1, NW]. Kuyatjho bona kukhona ebekujekezelisa ihliziyo yomrhubi nekazakukhuluma ‘ngokuphuphumako’ ngekosi. Isenzo sesiHebheru esithi “ukuphuphuma” ekhabolakhona sivela kwelithi “ukudlhabhaza” namkha “ukubila.” Indaba le-ke yadlhabhazisa ihliziyo yomrhubi bewabaseleka nokuthi ilimi lakhe libe ‘njengesiba lakasosiba onobukghoni.’
4 Kuthiwani ngathi? Nakithi iindaba ezimnandi zomBuso kaMesiya zenza iinhliziyo zethu zibhembese. Ngo-1914, umlayezo womBuso waba ‘mnandi’ khudlwana. Solo kwangesikhatheso, umlayezo lo akhange usaba yindabamlingwa yomBuso ozako, kunalokho beseyiqalisele kurhulumende wamambala obusa ezulwini njengombana sikhuluma nje. Lezi ziindaba “ezimnandi ngombuso” esizitjhumayela “ephasini loke, kube bufakazi eentjhabeni zoke.” (Mat. 24:14, ITestamende Elitjha namaRhalani akhethiweko.) Umlayezo womBuso lo uyaziphuphumisa na iinhliziyo zethu? Siyakukhuthalela na ukuzitjhumayela iindaba zomBuso loyo? Nathi njengomrhubi amezwi wethu ‘anjengekondlo engwenyameni’—uNdabezitha iKosethu uJesu Krestu. Sitjhumayela ngaye bona uyiKosi ezulwini emBuswenakhe. Ngaphezu kwalokho simema woke umuntu—obusako nobuswako—bona azigobe phambi kwayo. (Rhu. 2:1, 2, 4-12) Namalimi wethu aba ‘njengesiba lakasosiba onobukghoni’ njengombana senza koke esingakwenza ekusebenziseni iliZwi elitloliweko emsebenzinethu wokutjhumayela.
Sizitjhumayela ngethabo iindaba ezimnandi zomBuso weKosethu, uJesu Krestu
EMLONYENI WEKOSI KUPHUPHUMA AMEZWI AMNANDI
5. (a) UJesu bekanejamo ngayiphi indlela? (b) Amezwi amnandi aphuphuma njani emlonyeni weKosi, begodu singayingisa njani?
5 Funda iRhubo 45:3; [45:2, NW]. ImiTlolo ayikhulumi kangako ngokuqaleka kwakaJesu. Khona vele asibilayeli bona bekanejamo, ‘aqaleka’ ngombana bekaphelele. Kodwana ijamo lakhe labonakala ekuthembekeni kwakhe kuJehova nekuziphatheni kwakhe ngendlela ehloniphekileko. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uJesu wawutjhumayela “ngamezwi anesisa” umlayezo womBuso. (Luk. 4:22; Jwa. 7:46) Asazi-ke ngathi ukuthi siyakulwela na ukumlingisa ngokutjhumayela ngendlela ezokuhlaba iphukele eenhliziyweni zabantu?—Kol. 4:6.
6. UZimu wambusisa njani uJesu?
6 Ngebanga lokuzinikela kwakhe ngokupheleleko kuYise, uJehova wambusisa ngesikhathi asese sephasini, wambhasela nangemva kokufa kwakhe okumhlatjelo. Umpostoli uPowula batjho: “Wazithoba, walalela bekwaba sekufeni, . . . Ngalokho uZimu wamphakamisa, wamnikela ibizo elingaphezu kwamabizo woke, ukuze kuthi ebizweni lakaJesu, woke amadolo aguqe, walabo abasezulwini, abasephasini nabangaphasi kwephasi, namalimi woke avume bona uJesu Krestu uyiKosi, kube lidumo lakaZimu uBaba.” (Flp. 2:8-11) UJehova wambusisa isiphelani uJesu ngokumvusela ekuphileni kwamlibe.—Rom. 6:9.
IKOSI IBEKWA ‘NGAPHEZU KWABANGANI BAYO’
7. UZimu wambeka njani uJesu ‘ngaphezu kwabangani bakhe’?
7 Funda iRhubo 45:7, 8; [45:6, 7, NW]. Okwenza uJehova wabeka uJesu njengeKosi yomBuso, kukuthi uJesu bekakuthanda khulu ukulunga, begodu anyenya nanyana yini engehlisa uYise isithunzi. UJesu wazeswa “ngamafutha wokwenama” ngaphezu ‘kwabangani bakhe,’ okumakhosi wakwaJuda ayinzalo kaDavida. Njani? Kungebanga lokuthi uJesu wazeswa nguJehova ngokwakhe. Godu uJehova wabe wambeka njengeKosi noMphristi oMkhulu. (Rhu. 2:2; Heb. 5:5, 6) Ngaphezu kwalokho, uJesu wazeswa ngomoya ocwengileko, ingasi ngamafutha, nokuthi ubukhosi bakhe abusingebephasini kodwana ngebezulwini.
8. Sikutjho ngaliphi ukuthi ‘uZimu sihlalo sakaJesu sobukhosi’? Singaqiniseka njani bona ubukhosi bakhe ngebokulunga?
8 UJehova wabeka iNdodanakhe emBuswenayo ezulwini ngo-1914. ‘Intongakhe yobuKhosi ngeyokulunga,’ yeke singatjho ngokungananazi bona umBuswakhe uzokwanda ngokulunga. Igunya lawo ngelamambala, ngombana ‘uZimu sihlalo sakhona sobukhosi.’ Lokhu kutjho bona uJehova mrabhu womBuso lo, begodu ngaphezu kwalokho, ubukhosi bakaJesu buzokuhlala “isiphelani.” Akukuthabisi na ukunqotjhiswa yiKosi kaZimu enamandla le njengombana ulotjha uJehova?
‘IKOSI IHLOMA ISABULAYO ENYONGA’
9, 10. (a) UKrestu wayihloma nini isabulake enyonga, begodu uyirhwatjhule nini? (b) UKrestu usazoyisebenzisa ngayiphi enye indlela isabulakhe?
9 Funda iRhubo 45:4; [45:3, NW]. UJehova utjela iKosi uJesu bona ‘ihlome isabulayo enyonga,’ be ayigunyaze nokobana isahlele boke abajamelene nobukhosi bakaZimu, ibathwese nesigwebo. (Rhu. 110:2) Njengombana uKrestu ayiKosi eyiKutana, ubizwa nangokuthi ‘yingorho.’ Isabulakhe wayirhwatjhula ngo-1914, ngesikhathi abindana noSathana namadimonakhe ezulwini, wabahlula bewabakghurumejela ephasini.—IsAm. 12:7-9.
10 Leso bekumane kusithomo sokuhlula kwakhe njengeKosi ekhwele injomani. Usazokuqedelela ‘ukuhlula’ kwakhe. (IsAm. 6:2) UJehova kusafuze agwebe uSathana malungana netlharhararha erhagele iphaseli loke nje, kuzakuthi ngemva kwalokho yena namadimonakhe balilelwe ziinsimbi. Kokuthoma kuzokuba yiBhabheli eliKhulu, umbuso wephasi wekolo yamala. UJehova uzokusebenzisa abarholi bezepolotiki bona barhayile “ingwadla” ekhohlakeleko le. (IsAm. 17:16, 17) Kuzakuthi ngokulandelako, iKosi eyiKutana iqalane nephasi lakaSathana lezepolotiki, ilitjhiye lithunya. UKrestu, owaziwa nanjengengilozi “yomgodi onganamkhawulo,” uzokuswaphelisa ukuhlula kwakhe ngokulodlhela uSathana namadimonakhe ngemgodini loyo. (IsAm. 9:1, 11; 20:1-3) Akhesibone bonyana iRhubo 45 laphorofida njani ngeenkhathi ezikarisakwezi.
IKOSI IGABADULA ENDLELENI YEQINISO
11. UKrestu ugabadula njani endleleni yeqiniso?
11 Funda iRhubo 45:5; [45:4, NW]. Umnqopho wepi yeKosi eyiKutana akusi kuhlula nokudla abantu inarha yabo. Yipi yokulunga eneminqopho epheleleko. IKosi le igabadula endleleni yeqiniso ‘nokulunga.’ Iqiniso eliqakatheke kunawo woke okufuze livikelwe ngelobukhosi bakaJehova ezulwini nephasini. USathana watjhijila umthethobulungiswa wobukhosi bakaJehova mhla ahlubukako. Solo kwamhlokho, iqinisweli elisisekelo belisolo lisolwa madimoni nabantu. Kodwana nje sekusikhathi sokobona iKosi ekhethwe nguJehova iqhise iqiniso lobukhosi bakaJehova kube kanye!
12. IKosi le igabadula njani endleleni ‘yokulunga’?
12 IKosi le igabadula nendleleni ‘yokulunga.’ NjengeNdodana kaZimu engiyo yodwa ngakwabo, iKosi le isibonelo esipheleleko sokulunga njengombana izigoba ebukhosini bakaYise. (Isa. 50:4, 5; Jwa. 5:19) Boke abathembekileko ababuswa yiKosi le kufuze balingise isibonelo sayo sokulunga, begodu bazigobe ebukhosini bakaJehova ngazo zoke iindlela. Ngabenza njalo kwaphela abazokuvunyelwa ukuyokuphila ephasini lakaZimu elitjha asithembise lona.—Zak. 14:16, 17.
13. UKrestu uyikhambela njani phambili indlela ‘yokulunga’?
13 UKrestu uyikhambela phambili ngokuyivikela indlela ‘yokulunga.’ Ukulunga okuvikelwa yiKosi le, ‘kulunga kwakaZimu’—okuziinkambisolawulo zakaJehova zokuhle nokumbi. (Rom. 3:21; Dut. 32:4) U-Isaya wathi nakaphorofida ngeKosi uJesu: “Qala, kuzakubusa ikosi ngokulunga.” (Isa. 32:1) UmBuso kaJesu uzosiphekelela ‘emazulwini amatjha nephasini elitjha,’ lapho kuyokuhlala khona ukulunga. (2 Pit. 3:13) Boke abazaba bahlala ephasinelo, kuzokufuze bakhambisane neenkamiso zakaJehova zokulunga.—Isa. 11:1-5.
IKOSI IPHETHA “IMISEBENZI EYESABEKAKO”
14. UKrestu uzoyenza njani “imisebenzi eyesabekako” ngesidla sakhe? (Qala isithombe esisekuthomeni.)
14 Njengombana ikhwele ipera egabadulako nje, iKosi le ihlome nesabulayo enyonga. (Rhu. 45:4; [45:3, NW]) Siyafika-ke isikhathi sokobana iyirhwatjhule ngesandla sayo sokudla. Nekaphorofida ngayo umrhubi wathi: “Isandla sakho sokudla asikwenzise okwesabekako.” (Rhu. 45:5; [45:4, NW]) Nekarabhula ngepera leyo, uJesu Krestu ukhipha isigwebo esivela kuJehova nge-Arimagedoni, leyo-ke ‘misebenzi eyesabekako’ emanabenakhe. Ukuthi-ke uzokusebenzisa ini nakarhayila iphasi lakaSathana, asazi. Kodwana azokwenzokho kuzobathusa abantu bephasi abangakhange bafune ukuthobela ubukhosi bakhe. (Funda iRhubo 2:11, 12.) Nekaphorofida ngesiphelo uJesu wathi abantu “bazakuyatha ngevalo ngalokho okuzokwehlela iphasi loke ngombana umkhambathi wezulu uzakunyakaziswa.” Wangezelela ngokuthi: “Ngesikhatheso bazokubona iNdodana yoMuntu isiza elifwini ngamandla nangephazimulo ekulu.”—Luk. 21:26, 27.
15, 16. Bobani abazokuba ‘mabutho’ akhamba noKrestu epini?
15 Nayibika ngokuza kweKosi izokukhipha isigwebo “ngamandla nangephazimulo ekulu,” incwadi yesAmbulo ithi: “Ngabona izulu livulekile, kwabakhona injomani emhlophe. Umkhweli wayo ubizwa bona nguThembekile noQiniso begodu ngokulunga ugweba asuse ipi. Amabutho wezulwini amlandela akhwele iinjomani ezimhlophe; embethe itjhila elidarhe okumhlophe nokunganamphambo. Emlonyenakhe kuphuma isabula ebukhali, ngayo urhayila izizwe begodu uzazibusa ngentonga yesimbi. Uzakugadangela ubutlhodlhelo bobukhali nebelaka lakaZimu uMninimandlawoke.”—IsAm. 19:11, 14, 15.
16 Bobani-ke abazabe babambisene noKrestu ‘njengamabutho’ wezulwini akhamba naye epini? Nekarhwatjhula isabulakhe kokuthoma bona aqothe uSathana namadimonakhe ezulwini, uJesu bekakhamba “neengilozi zakhe.” (IsAm. 12:7-9) Kuyatjho-ke ukuthi nange-Arimagedoni, neengilozi ezicwengileko zizabe zikhamba noKrestu. Abanye bobani? Phela uJesu wathembisa abanakwabo abazesiweko wathi: “Loyo owahlulako, enze imisebenzami bekube sekupheleni, ngiyomupha ilungelo lokubusa izizwe. Uzozibusa ngentonga yesimbi, aziphahlaze zibe ziincucwana njengembiza yomdaka, iye, njengalokha nami ngamukela kuBaba.” (IsAm. 2:26, 27) Yeke lokho kutjho ukuthi nabanakwabo lakaKrestu abazesiweko bazabe bakhona ebuthweneli, njengombana bazabe sebasezulwini ngesikhatheso. Abakhethiwekwaba bazabe banaye nekenza “imisebenzi eyesabekako” leyo, kukulapho ngancanye babusa izizwe ngentonga yesimbi.
IKOSI ISONGA UMSEBENZAYO WOKUHLULA
17. (a) Ifanekiselani injomani emhlophe ekhwelwe nguKrestu? (b) Isabula nomsebe khona kufanekisela ini?
17 Funda iRhubo 45:6; [45:5, NW]. IKosi ikhwele injomani emhlophe, okutjho ipi ehlanzekileko neyokulunga phambi kwakaJehova. (IsAm. 6:2; 19:11) Ngaphezu kwesabula ayiphetheko leyo, uhlome nangomsebe. Siyafunda: “Ngithe nangiqalako ngabona injomani emhlophe, umkhweli wayo gade aphethe umsebe; nje-ke wanikelwa isihlohlo, waphuma angohlulako, wahlula.” Isabula leyo nomsebe okuphethwe nguKrestu kufanekisela izinto azozisebenzisa nekagweba amanaba wakhe.
18. “Imisubela” kaKrestu izabe “ibukhali” ngezinga elingangani?
18 Umrhubi usibeka ngelimi elisakondlo isiphorofidwesi nakathi ‘imisubela yeNgwenyama ebukhali, ihlaba ehliziyweni yezitha zayo, ziwe ngaphasi kwayo.’ Iingazi zizabe zibusaphasapha iphasi loke. Isiphorofido sakaJoromiya sona sathi: “Labo abamadlhwe nguSomnini mhlokho bazakunabela ukusuka emaphethelweni wephasi ukuya kamanye.” (Jor. 25:33) Esinye esinjengaso sathi: “Ngabona ingilozi ijame elangeni, irhuwelela zoke iinyoni eziphapha esibangeni ngelizwi elikhulu ithi: ‘Yizani nibuthane esidlweni esikhulu sakaZimu, iye, nizozitika ngenyama yamakhosi, yeenduna, yeengorho, yeenjomani neyabakhweli bazo; ngitjho nenyama yabo boke abatjhaphulukileko nabamakhoboka, abancani nabakhulu.’”—IsAm. 19:17, 18.
19. UKrestu ‘uzokuphumelela’ njani ‘nakaphumakho’ njengombana aphetha umsebenzakhe wokuhlula?
19 Nasekaqedile ngoSathana nephasi lakhe elimbi, uKrestu ‘uzokuba nepumelelo nakaphumako’ ayokuhlula. (Rhu. 45:5; [45:4, NW]) Umguruguru lo uzowusonga ngokulodlhela uSathana namadimonakhe ngemngodini imiNyaka eyiKulungwana yokuBusa kwakhe. (IsAm. 20:2, 3) Njengombana ngesikhatheso uSathana namadimonakhe bazabe basatsirimezekile, ephasini kuzabe kunganalitho eliliya abantu, begodu abantu bazokuba nethuba elaneleko lokuthobela iKosabo ephazimulako nehlulako. Kantike-ke, ngaphambi kokuthabela ukubona iphasi loke seliyipharadeyisi, kusesenelinye ibanga lokuthaba neKosi nabalingani bayo bezulwini. Ukuthi yini lokho, sesiyokuzwa esihlokweni esilandelako.

INGOSI: Mhlalwumbe kukhona uNkulunkulu abemphumuza kukho uNcwane
2016-12-08 11:32
Durban – Akekho ongathi ayimshaqisanga indaba yokudlula emhlabeni ngokukhulu ukuzuma kukaSfiso Ncwane. Akekho obelindele, futhi akekho nobehlawumbisela ukuthi kungenzeka into enje.
Ukushona kukaNcwane isigubhukane kufana ncamashi nokushona komuntu odlule ngengozi yemoto noma odutshuliwe – kwenzeka ngokuphazima kweso, kushintshe konke.
Into enjengale ivele yenze kuhlwe emini ngisho kulabo abangosiyazi.
Indaba yokushonelwa iyazwela kakhulu kimi, ngiye ngithi noma ngixoxa ngithi awukho umndeni oshonelwa njengowami.
Noma ngabe oshonile angimazi, ngiye ngizithole sengichiphiza ngoba ngiyabazi ubuhlungu bokuhanjelwa othandiweyo wakho.
Ukushaqeka
Ukushona kukaNcwane kubuyise ubuhlungu engabuzwa mhla umfowethu omncane edutshulwa yinhlamvu eyaphaphalaza yamshaya enhliziyweni, waphelela khona lapho, esigamekweni ayengahlangene ngisho nanaso.
Kwaba yisigubhukane, ngakubona njengento engafanele. Ngasala neminingi imibuzo le ngaze ngangabaza nokholo lwami kuNkulunkulu.
Ngathatha isikhathi eside ngisola uMdali ngokungiyekelela nokungibukanisa nezwe, kwazise umfowethu sasisondelene kakhulu naye.
Wathi omunye wabangani bami engududuza, wathi "buka nje lo Nkulunkulu wenu ukuthi unjani, uvume kanjani nomfowenu ngale ndlela".
Kwathi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ngaqala ngamukela isimo, ngingazi nami ukuthi ngamukelani. Ngiyacabanga ukuthi kwase kuyisikhathi nje esasingithoba amanxeba.
Ukudlula kukaNcwane namanje kungathi yiphupho esizovuka kulo sizwe okunye.
Thola ukududuzeka Ayanda nabantwana
Kubuhlungu kakhulu, angiyiphathi-ke enkankosikazi wakhe u-Ayanda, obefana newele likaNcwane.
Ngifikelwe umunyu uma ngibona imiyalezo eshiywe amadodana abo ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi awakakuqondi ukujula kwale nto eyenzekile ngoba asemancane.
Kukho konke, iBhayibheli lithi asingamsoli uNkulunkulu ngoba konke akwenzayo usuke enesizathu.
Lowo oPhezukonke kuthiwa wazi konke, mhlawumbe uyazi yena ukuthi ubemphumuza kuphi uNcwane njengoba emehlweni ethu kubukeka sengathi usheshe wamthatha.
Lala ngokuthula
Wonke umuntu osondelene nalo mculi ukhala ngokuthi bekungekho ukugula okutheni abekhala ngakho nabebekwazi, kwayizinso lezi ezimbulele bebeziqabuka.
Mhlawumbe impela bekukhona izimo ezizayo umfokaNcwane abengeke akwazi ukubhekana nazo, uMdali wakhe wabona ukuthi akambizele ekhaya kusekuhle.
Umculo wakho Ncwane uselaphile, wasigqugquzela, wasinikeza ithemba abanye baze bazana neNkosi ngenxa yawo.
Lala Manzini, siyeza nathi, okwakho nje ukusilinda ngengoma ozolokhu uyivume njalo ngalelo zwi lakho elimtoti!

INdaba 79: UDanyela Ngemgodini Wamabhubezi
BABAKE, Babake! Kubonakala ngasuthi uDanyela usemrarweni omkhulu. Kodwana amabhubezi akamlimazi! Uyazi bonyana kubayini? Ngubani ofake uDanyela endaweni le namabhubezi? Akhe sizwe.
Ikosi yeBhabhiloni nje yindoda ebizwa bona nguDayirasi. Bekamthanda khulu uDanyela ngombana uDanyela bekanomusa begodu ahlakaniphile. UDariyasi wakhetha uDanyela bona abe yinduna embusi embusweni wakhe. Lokhu kwenza amadoda amanengi embusweni aba nomona ngoDanyela, ngalokho ngilokhu abakwenzako.
Amadoda la aya kuDariyasi athi: ‘Sivumelene kosi bonyana kufuneka kubekwe umthetho othi, akunamuntu okufuneka athandaze nanyana ngimuphi uzimu nanyana ngimuphi omunye umuntu ngaphandle kwakho kosi bekube malanga ayi-30. Nekungenzeka kube nomuntu ongalaleliko, mdele aphoswe emgodini wamabhubezi.’ UDariyasi bekangazi bonyana kubayini amadoda la afuna kubekwe umthetho lo. Kodwana wacabanga bona mbono omuhle loyo, ngalokho wawutlola phasi umthetho lo. Nje, umthetho lo bengeze usatjhuguluka.
Lokha uDanyela nezwa ngomthetho, waya ngendlini wayokuthandaza njengombana agade enza. Amadoda angakalungi laya gade azi bona uDanyela ngekhe alise ukuthandaza kuJehova. Gade athabile, ngombana bekubonakala ngasuthi iqhinga lawo lokususa uDanyela beliberega.
Lokha iKosi uDariyasi izwa bonyana amadoda la bekawufunelani umthetho lo, yadana khulu. Kodwana bengekhe itjhugulule umthetho loyo, ngalokho wakateleleka bona akhiphe umlayo wokobana uDanyela aphoselwe ngemgodini wamabhubezi. Kodwana ikosi yatjela uDanyela: ‘Ngithemba bonyana uZimakho loyo omkhonzako, uzokusindisa.’
UDariyasi bekadanekhulu abhalelwa nakulala. Ngelanga elilandelako wagijimela emgodini wamabhubezi. Uyambona phezulwapha. Uyarhuwelela uthi: ‘Danyela, nceku kaZimu ophilako! UZimu omkhulekelako ukgonile ukukusindisa emabhubezini?’
UDanyela waphendula: ‘UZimu uthumele ingilozakhe, begodu wavala iimlomo yamabhubezi bona ingangilimazi.’
Ikosi yathaba khulu. Yakhipha umlayo wokobana uDanyela akhutjhwe emgodini wamabhubezi. Ngemva kwalokho yenza bona amadoda angakalungi laya alinga ukususa uDanyela aphoselwe emgodini wamabhubezi. Ngitjho nangaphambi kobana bafike phasi ngemgodini, amabhubezi ababamba abaphula woke amathambabo.
Ngemva kwalokho iKosi uDariyasi yatlolela boke abantu bembuswenakhe: ‘Ngikhipha umlayo wokobana woke umuntu kufuneka ahloniphe uZimu kaDanyela. Wenza immangaliso ezikulu. Wasindisa uDanyela ekulunyweni mabhubezi.’
Danyela 6:1-28.
Iimbuzo
- Ngubani uDariyasi, begodu gade amqala njani uDanyela?
- Khuyini amanye amadoda anomona abangela uDariyasi bonyana ayenze?
- Wenzani uDanyela nekezwa ngomthetho omutjha?
- Kubayini uDariyasi gade adane kangaka abhalelwa nakulala, begodu wenzani ekuseni ngelanga elilandelako?
- UDanyela wamphendula njani uDariyasi?
- Kwenzekani emadodeni amambi egade alinga ukubulala uDanyela, begodu khuyini uDariyasi ayitlolela boke abantu embuswenakhe?
Iimbuzo engezelelekileko
- Funda uDanyela 6:1-28.
Amano wokuketula uDanyela atjengisa bunjani lokho okwenziwa baphikisi ukulinga ukuvimbela umsebenzi owenziwa boFakazi bakaJehova namhlanjesi? (Dan. 6:7; Amakh. 94:20; Isa. 10:1; Rom. 8:31)
Iinceku zakaZimu namhlanjesi zingamlingisa bunjani uDanyela ekuthobeleni “umbuso”? (Dan. 6:5, 10; Rom. 13:1; IZenzo 5:29)
Singasilingisa bunjani isibonelo sakaDanyela ekukhonzeni uJehova “ngokungatjhuguluki”? (Dan. 6:16, 20; Fil. 3:16; ISamb. 7:15)

INGXOXO NOTHILE | UWENLONG HE
Usosayensi Ocwaninga Ngezinto Zemvelo Uchaza Ngokholo Lwakhe
UWENLONG HE waqala ukufunda isayensi yezinto zemvelo (physics) eSuzhou, esifundazweni saseJiangsu, eChina. Unengxenye ekubhalweni kukamagazini wezobuchwepheshe osakazwa emhlabeni jikelele futhi kunezihloko eziningi azibhalile eziye zanyatheliswa ezincwadini zesayensi. Okwamanje, uWenlong He usebenza eNyuvesi yaseStrathclyde, eScotland. Esemncane, wayekholelwa ukuthi izinto eziphilayo zazivelela kodwa kamuva waphetha ngokuthi ukuphila kwadalwa. I-Phaphama! yambuza ngokholo lwakhe.
Ake usitshele ngemvelaphi yakho.
Ngazalwa ngo-1963 futhi ngakhulela eChina, endaweni eseningizimu yoMfula iYangtze, esifundazweni saseJiangsu. Lena indawo efudumele edume ngokukhiqiza ukudla okuningi, ngakho ivame ukubizwa ngokuthi izwe lelayisi nenhlanzi. Ngesikhathi ngiseyingane, ngangivame ukuzibuza: ‘Kungani kunokudla okumnandi okuningi kangaka emhlabeni? Ingabe kwazivelela? Yini eyaba khona kuqala phakathi kwenkukhu neqanda?’ Abaningi eChina abakholelwa kuNkulunkulu, ngakho esikoleni ngafundiswa ukuthi izinto zazivelela.
Kuthiwani ngomndeni wakini?
Abazali bami babengakholelwa kuNkulunkulu. Umama wayesebenza epulazini, kanti ubaba wayengumdwebi wamapulani ezakhiwo futhi wasungula inkampani yokwakha. Ngingowokuqala ebafaneni abahlanu. Ngokudabukisayo, ababili kubafowethu bashona besebancane. Lokho kwangizwisa ubuhlungu obukhulu, futhi ngazibuza: ‘Kungani abantu befa? Ingabe ngiyoke ngiphinde ngibabone abafowethu?’
Yini eyakwenza wafunda isayensi?
Ngangifuna ukufunda isayensi yezinto zemvelo ngoba yayingimangalisa imvelo futhi ngacabanga ukuthi le sayensi ingase iyiphendule imibuzo ebeyingixaka kusukela ebuntwaneni.
Ukumuphi umkhakha wocwaningo?
Ngizama ukuthola izindlela zokwenyusa isivinini sezinhlayiya ezakha ama-athomu sifinyelele esejubane lokuhamba kokukhanya. Lokhu ngikwenza ngenjongo yokufunda ngokwakheka kwama-athomu. Ngihlola nendlela yokuphehla imisebe enamandla amakhulu kusetshenziswa amaza alingana nalawo okuthiwa yi-microwave kanye ne-infrared radiation. Nakuba ucwaningo lwami lunenzuzo ngokwezimali, luhlobene nanemizamo yami yokuqonda ukuthi indawo yonke yaqala kanjani.
Yini eyakwenza waba nesifiso sokwazi iBhayibheli?
go-1998, oFakazi BakaJehova ababili bafika emzini wami. Bathi bangayiphendula imibuzo yami besebenzisa iBhayibheli. Umkami, uHuabi, naye osemkhakheni wokucwaninga ngesayensi, wahlanganyela nathi. Sasingakaze silibone iBhayibheli ngaphambi kwalokho, kodwa iseluleko salo esinengqondo sasihlaba umxhwele. Saphawula indlela labo Fakazi ababili ababesivakashela ababezuze ngayo ngokusebenzisa imiyalo yeBhayibheli. Babejabulile futhi bephila ukuphila okulula. Nokho, lokho okushiwo yiBhayibheli ngoNkulunkulu kwangenza ngazibuza ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukuthi zonke izinto ezikhona zadalwa. Njengososayensi wezinto zemvelo, umsebenzi wami uwukuqonda imvelo. Ngakho nganquma ukucabangisisa ngobufakazi.
Njengososayensi wezinto zemvelo, umsebenzi wami ukuqonda imvelo. Ngakho nganquma ukucabangisisa ngobufakazi
Yibuphi ubufakazi owacabanga ngabo?
Okokuqala, ngangazi ukuthi inqwaba yezinto ayinakubekeka ngendlela ehlelekile noma ihlale ihlelekile ngaphandle kokuba kunothile oyihlelayo. Lowo umthetho wesibili we-thermodynamics (inqubo ephathelene nokushintsha kwezinga lokushisa kwento, ukushintsha kwamandla nokuhlobana phakathi kokushisa nokusebenza kwento). Njengoba indawo yonke nezinto eziphilayo emhlabeni kuhleleke ngezinga elikhulu, ngaphetha ngokuthi kumelwe ukuba ukhona oyimbangela yalokho kuhleleka, uMdali. Ubufakazi besibili, kwaba ukuthi indawo yonke kanye nomhlaba kubonakala kuklanywe ngokukhethekile ukuze kusekele ukuphila.
Yibuphi ubufakazi bomklamo owabubona?
Zonke izinto eziphilayo emhlabeni zincike emandleni elanga. La mandla anqamula emkhathini njengemisebe. Eza emhlabeni eyimisebe enobude obuhlukahlukene. Emifushane kuyo nebulalayo kuthiwa i-gamma rays. Bese kuba yimisebe ye-X-ray, i-ultraviolet (imisebe engabonakali), ukukhanya, imisebe ye-infrared, eye-microwave, kanye nemide kunayo yonke, okungamaza asetshenziswa yimisakazo. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi isibhakabhaka siyayivimba imisebe eminingi eyingozi kodwa siyidedele eminye edingekayo ukuba ifinyelele emhlabeni.
Yini eyakuhlaba umxhwele ngalelo qiniso?
Yangimangaza indlela iBhayibheli elethula ngayo indaba yokudala nokubhekisela kwalo ekukhanyeni. Lithi: “UNkulunkulu wabe esethi: ‘Makube khona ukukhanya.’ Khona-ke kwaba khona ukukhanya.” * Yingxenyana encane kakhulu yemisebe yelanga ewukukhanya, kodwa ukukhanya kubalulekile ekusekeleni ukuphila. Izitshalo ziyakudinga ukuze zikhiqize ukudla kanti futhi siyakudinga ukukhanya ukuze sibone. Ukukwazi kwesibhakabhaka ukudlulisa ukukhanya akunakwenzeka ukuthi kwenzeka ngenhlanhla. Okuphawuleka nakakhulu inani elincane lemisebe yokukhanya ye-ultraviolet efinyelela emhlabeni.
Kungani kuphawuleka lokho?
Eminye imisebe ye-ultraviolet ibaluleke kakhulu. Isikhumba sethu sidinga ingxenyana yayo ukuze sakhe u-vitamin D, obalulekile ukuze sibe namathambo aphile kahle nokuba sivikeleke emdlavuzeni nakwezinye izifo. Nokho, uma iza ngamandla le misebe ingabangela umdlavuza wesikhumba nenkinga yokubona. Ngokwemvelo, isibhakabhaka sidedela inani elincane kakhulu lale misebe ukuba lifinyelele emhlabeni—futhi lelo yilona nani elidingekayo. Ngokombono wami, lobo ubufakazi bokuthi kunothile owadala umhlaba ukuze ukwazi ukusekela izinto eziphilayo.
Kancane kancane, mina noHuabi sakholiseka ukuthi ukhona uMdali nokuthi waphefumulela iBhayibheli. Ngo-2005, saba oFakazi BakaJehova futhi manje sihlanganyela ekufundiseni abanye iBhayibheli.

ISAHLUKO 22
Wahlala Eqotho Kumnyama Kubomvu
1, 2. Kuyini uPhetro ayecabanga ukuthi kwakuzakwenzakala ngesikhathi uJesu efundisa eKhaphenawume, kodwa kwacina kuhambe njani?
UPHETRO wayengasahlalisekanga, esebathe nhla abantu ababelalele uJesu. Babesesinagogeni, eKhaphenawume. Umuzi kaPhetro wawusedolobheni lelo, njalo yikho lapho okwakuhlala khona abakhula bakhe lezinini zakhe ezinengi kanye labosowabo ayesenza labo ibhizimusi lakhe elalisekhunjini loLwandle lwaseGalile. Akuthandabuzwa-ke ukuthi wayeloyisa ukuthi omakhelwana bakhe bamthande uJesu njengaye. Wayefisa lokuthi kubathokozise ukulalela indoda le eyayiyingcitshi ekufundiseni ibatshela ngoMbuso kaNkulunkulu. Kodwa isifiso sakhe saphelela emoyeni.
2 Abanengi babengasafuni lakuzwa lelilodwa nje elivela kuJesu. Abanye basebengunguna, bengavumelani layekufundisa. Kodwa into eyayisimudla kakhulu uPhetro yikuthi kwasekuyiso leso lakubafundi bakaJesu. Basebebuthe inhlonzi, sebezonde bengasazazi lanxa ekuqaliseni babethokoza besizwa iqiniso uJesu ayebafundisa lona. Abanye babhavuma besithi ayekutsho kwakutshwaqisa igazi. Bangena indlela bemtshiya esinagogeni, badela lokuba ngabafundi bakhe.—Bala uJohane 6:60, 66.
3. Ukholo lukaPhetro lwamsiza ukuthi enzeni ngezikhathi esekulingweni?
3 UPhetro labanye abaphostoli basebephakathi kwelitshe lembokodo. Laye wayengakuzwisisi ngokugcweleyo okwakufundiswa nguJesu ngalelolanga. Wayezibonela ukuthi amazwi kaJesu ayengamkhuba umuntu wayengawathatha njengoba enjalo. Manje yena wenzani? Lesi kwakuyisilingo esasizaveza ukuthi wayeqotho yini eNkosini yakhe loba hatshi. Kwakungayisiso sokuqala, njalo sasingayisiso sokucina. Pho ukholo lwakhe lwamsiza njani ukuthi anqobe izilingo lezi njalo ahlale eqotho? Kasehle lodaba sizwe.
Wahlala Eqotho Lanxa Abanye Kwabehlula
4, 5. Kuyini okwenziwa nguJesu okwamangalisa abantu?
4 Izenzo zikaJesu kanye lamazwi akhe kwakuke kummangalise uPhetro ngoba kwezinye izikhathi kwakuphikisana lalokho abantu ababekulindele kuye. Phela uJesu wayeke wenza isimanga, wasuthisa amaxuku abantu ngokudla okulutshwana. Bahle bathi hetshwa, bazama ukumbeka ukuthi abe yinkosi yabo. Kodwa yena waba nguphunyuka bemphethe, nango esithi abafundi bakhe bahambe ngesikepe baye eKhaphenawume. Basala bengaselankani. Kwathi sekusebusuku abafundi bedabula elwandle, bamangala bebona uJesu thutshu ehamba phezu koLwandle lwaseGalile olwalulesiphepho. Mhlalokho uPhetro wafunda ukuthi kwakumele abe lokholo.
5 Kusisa, babona nampo abantu labaya ababebabalekele. Babebalandele baze babathola. Kukhanya babebukhali nganxanye njengengqamu, befuna ukumbona esenza imimangaliso ukuze bathole ukudla kodwa bengakuqakathekisi ukufunda iqiniso ngoJehova. UJesu wabasola kakhulu. (Joh. 6:25-27) Waqhubeka ngayo indaba le sebesesinagogeni eKhaphenawume, wabafundisa elinye iqiniso elaliqakathekile elabatshiya betshe amathe futhi kulukhuni ukuthi balizwisise.
6. UJesu wabalandisela wuphi omunye umzekeliso ababemlalele, njalo benzani bewuzwa?
6 UJesu wayefuna ukuthi abantu laba babone ukuthi yena wayengasiso siphala sokudla nje kodwa wayethunywe nguNkulunkulu ukuthi azobafela ukuze bathole ukuphila okungapheliyo. Yikho-ke wabatshela umzekeliso, ezifanisa lemana, isinkwa esasehle sivela ezulwini ngesikhathi sikaMosi. Lapho abanye bekwala lokhu, wabalandisela omunye umzekeliso, ebacacisela ukuthi kwakumele badle inyama yakhe banathe legazi lakhe ukuze bathole impilo. Kulapho-ke abala bajeka umduli, bazonda babila. Abanye bathi: “Le yimfundiso enzima. Kambe ngubani ongayamukela na?” Inengi labafundi bakaJesu lalo lathi lalingeke likuhlalele okunje, lamtshiya. *—Joh. 6:48-60, 66.
7, 8. (a) Kuyini uPhetro ayengakakuzwisisi ngoJesu? (b) UPhetro wawuphendula wathini umbuzo uJesu ayewuphosele abaphostoli?
7 UPhetro yena wenzani? Kumele ukuthi lokho okwakutshiwo nguJesu kwakuyinsindabaphenduli lakuye. Wayengakakuzwisisi ukuthi uJesu kwakufanele afe ukuze intando kaNkulunkulu yenziwe. Pho walingeka yini ukuthi atshiye uJesu njengabafundi laba ababengomajikeduze? Hatshi, ngoba kulokunye okuqakathekileyo okwakusenza ukuthi angafani labo.
8 UJesu wakhangela abaphostoli bakhe wasesithi: “Lina kalifuni ukutshiya na?” (Joh. 6:67) Wayebuza bonke abalitshumi lambili, kodwa kwaphendula uPhetro njengenhlalayenza. Engxenye wayemdala kulabo bonke. Esikunanzelelayo yikuthi wayengafihli okwakusesifubeni sakhe futhi kukhanya angani wayengathikazi lokutsho ayekucabanga. Kodwa lapha watsho amazwi aqakathekileyo alokhu esakhunjulwa lalamuhla. Wathi: “Nkosi, sizakuya kubani na? Wena ulamazwi okuphila okungapheliyo.”—Joh. 6:68.
9. Kwakhanya njani ukuthi uPhetro wayeqotho kuJesu?
9 Wena uthini ngalokho okwatshiwo nguPhetro? Ukholo ayelalo kuJesu lwamnceda ukuthi abeqotho. Kwakuqakatheke kakhulu ukuthi ahlale eqotho kuye. Laye wazibonela ukuthi uJesu wayenguye yedwa uMsindisi owayethunywe nguJehova. Wayekubona lokuthi ayekufundisa ngoMbuso kaNkulunkulu kwakunika abantu ithemba. Lanxa kwakukhona okwakumphica uPhetro, wayekwazi ukuthi akula lapho ayengaqonda khona nxa wayefuna ukuthi uNkulunkulu amamukele njalo amnike impilo engapheliyo.
Kumele sibe qotho, sikulalele lokho esikufundiswa nguJesu lanxa kungahambelani lesikufunayo loba kutshiyene lalokho ebesikukhangelele
10. Singamlingisela njani uPhetro?
10 Lawe uvumelana loPhetro yini? Kuyadanisa ukuthi abanengi lamuhla bathi bayamthanda uJesu kodwa kabakho qotho kuye. Nxa sifuna ukuhlala siqotho, kumele silingisele uPhetro, sibambelele ezintweni uJesu ayezifundisa abantu. Kumele sikubale, sizame ukukuzwisisa njalo sikusebenzise ekuphileni kwethu lanxa kungahambelani lesikufunayo loba kutshiyene lalokho ebesikukhangelele. Ukuhlala siqotho yikho kuphela okungenza ukuthi siphile impilo engapheliyo uJesu afuna siyithole.—Bala iHubo 97:10.
Wahlala Eqotho Ngesikhathi Eqondiswa
11. UJesu wayesiya ngaphi labalandeli bakhe?
11 Ngemva kwesikhatshana, uJesu wahamba umango omude elabaphostoli bakhe kanye labanye abafundi bakhe belubangise enyakatho. Basondela eNtabeni iHemoni eyayisiba longqwaqwane. Nxa wawuseLwandle lwaseGalile, wawungasibona nansiya isiqongo sentaba le eyayisenyakatho yeLizwe Lesithembiso. Khathesi-ke basebeyibona phose yonke, beqansa besondela emizini ababesiya kuyo eyayiseduze kweKhesariya Filiphi. Basebesenelisa ukubuka okwakuseningizimu yeLizwe Lesithembiso ngoba basebesendaweni ethe ukuphakama. Yikho lapho uJesu ababuza khona umbuzo oqakathekileyo.
12, 13. (a) Kungani uJesu wabuza ukuthi abantu babesithi yena ungubani? (b) Amazwi kaPhetro atshengisa njani ukuthi wayelokholo lweqiniso?
12 UJesu wabuza wathi: “Kanti abantu abanengi bathi ngingubani na?” Akumbone uPhetro esekhangele uJesu enhlamvini zamehlo, ebona ukuthi iNkosi yakhe yayilomusa, ilamandla njalo ilenhlakanipho ezikileyo. UJesu wayefuna ukwazi ukuthi abantu babesithi yena ungubani ngemva kokubona ayekwenzile layekutshilo. Lakanye abafundi bamphendula, bamtshela lokhu lalokhuya okwakutshiwo ngabantu. Kodwa uJesu kazange acine khonapho. Wayefuna ukubona langabe abaphostoli bakhe babelahleka njengabanengi. Ngakho-ke wababuza wathi: “Pho lina-ke? Lithi ngingubani?”—Luk. 9:18-20.
13 Lalapha futhi uPhetro wahle waphendula. Kazange atshone ekhekheleza kodwa wacaca wathi: “UnguKhristu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.” Labanye bakhe babevumelana laye. Akumcabange uJesu ebobotheka, emncoma ngamazwi amnandi. Wamkhumbuza ukuthi nguJehova owayesize abantu ababelokholo ukuthi balazi iqiniso lelo elaliqakatheke kakhulu. UPhetro wayesekuzwisisa ukuthi uJesu kwakunguye uMesiya loba uKhristu okwasekukudala kwakhulunywa ukuthi wayezakuba khona.—Bala uMathewu 16:16, 17.
14. UJesu wamnika msebenzi bani uPhetro?
14 UKhristu lo nguye okwakuphrofethwe kudala ukuthi wayezakuba lilitshe elalizalahlwa ngabakhi. (Hubo. 118:22; Luk. 20:17) UJesu wayecabanga ngeziphrofetho lezo lapho eveza ukuthi uJehova wayezasekela ibandla elitsheni lelo. Ilitshe leli kwakunguye uJesu, uPhetro ambiza ngokuthi nguKhristu. Yikho-ke wanika uPhetro imisebenzi eqakatheke kakhulu ebandleni. Abanye bathi uPhetro wayesezakuba yingqwele phakathi kwabaphostoli, kodwa okwakutshiwo nguJesu yikuthi wayesezakuba lomsebenzi omkhulu. Wayesemnike “amakhiye ombuso wasezulwini.” (Mat. 16:19) UPhetro wayezakuba lesibusiso sokuvulela abantu bemihlobo etshiyeneyo ithuba lokungena eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu. Wayezaqala ngamaJuda, kulandele amaSamariya besekucina ngabeZizweni, loba abangasimaJuda.
15. Kwakutheni uPhetro aze asole uJesu, njalo wamsola esithini?
15 Lanxa kunjalo, uJesu waphinda wathi nxa umuntu wayephiwe okunengi, kwakuzafuneka okunengi kuye. (Luk. 12:48) Okwenzakala kuPhetro kwaveza ukuthi lalimqotho lelo. UJesu waveza okunye okunengi ngoMesiya kanye lokuthi wayezahlukuluzwa eJerusalema njalo acine ebulewe. Kodwa uPhetro akuzange kumphathe lokho. Wabizela uJesu eceleni wasemsola esithi: “Ngeke kwenzeke, Nkosi! Lokhu kakusoze kwafa kwenzeka kuwe!”—Mat. 16:21, 22.
16. UJesu wamqondisa njani uPhetro, njalo akutshoyo kusifundisani?
16 UJesu yena wathini? Wafulathela uPhetro, wakhangela abanye abafundi okumele ukuthi labo babevumelana loPhetro, wasesithi: “Buyela emva kwami, Sathane; uyisikhubekiso kimi, ngoba kawucabangi ngezinto zikaNkulunkulu kodwa ngezabantu.” (Mat. 16:23, The Holy Bible in Ndebele; Mak. 8:32, 33) Kufanele ukuthi uPhetro wamangala ngoba yena wayezitshela ukuthi uyamsiza. Amazwi kaJesu angasinceda kakhulu. Kulula ukuthi lathi sicine sisenza esikucabangayo kulokuthi silalele okutshiwo nguNkulunkulu. Nxa singenza njalo, singaba ngabasekeli bakaSathane singananzeleli, kungelani lokuthi siyabe sihlose ukusiza abanye. Manje uPhetro wenzani esezwe impendulo kaJesu?
17. UJesu wayesitshoni lapho etshela uPhetro ukuthi ‘abuyele emva kwakhe’?
17 Ayisikho ukuthi uJesu wayesithi uPhetro nguSathane uDeveli futhi kumele ukuthi uPhetro wakunanzelela lokho. Phela indlela uJesu amphendula ngayo itshiyene lendlela ayeke aphendula ngayo uSathane. KuSathane wayethe: “Suka kimi,” kodwa kuPhetro wathi: “Buyela emva kwami.” (Mat. 4:10) Kazange amlahlele iganga umphostoli lo ngoba wayebona okunengi okuhle kuye. Kodwa wamqondisa ngoba wayesephambuka. UPhetro kwakumele abe ngemva kweNkosi yakhe ayisekele njengoba wayengumlandeli wayo, kulokuthi ayihambele phambili acine esesiba lilitshe elingayikhuba.
Nxa singavuma ukuqondiswa besesintshintsha izenzo zethu, sizaqhubeka sisondela eduze loJesu Khristu kanye loYise uJehova uNkulunkulu
18. UPhetro watshengisa njani ukuthi wayeqotho, njalo singamlingisela njani?
18 UPhetro waphinda watshengisa ukuthi wayeqotho. Kazange amisane loJesu, amzondele loba ambeke isikhupha, kodwa wazithoba wavuma ukukhuzwa. Lalamuhla sonke esilandela uKhristu kumele sizithobe nxa siqondiswa, ngoba phela akugobo lingeqondiswe. Lokhu kuzasisiza ukuthi sisondele eduze loJesu Khristu kanye loYise uJehova uNkulunkulu.—Bala iZaga 4:13.
Wabusiswa Ngoba Wayeqotho
19. UJesu wathini okwamangalisa abafundi, njalo kungenzeka ukuthi uPhetro wasala ecabangani?
19 UJesu waphinda wakhuluma okunye okwatshiya abafundi bebambe owangaphansi. Wathi: “Ngilitshela iqiniso, abanye abemiyo khonapha kabayikukuzwa ukufa bengakayiboni iNdodana yoMuntu isiza embusweni wayo.” (Mat. 16:28) Akuthandabuzwa ukuthi amazwi la atshiya uPhetro esezidla izibindi. UJesu wayengabe esitshoni? Njengoba uPhetro wayesanda kukhuzwa, engxenye wayesecabanga ukuthi wayengasoze wafa wazithola ezinye izibusiso ezinjengalesi esasitshiwo nguJesu.
20, 21. (a) Chasisa isimanga uPhetro asibonayo. (b) UPhetro wananzelelani esezwe ingxoxo kaJesu lamadoda amabili ayesembonweni?
20 Kodwa kwathi sekudlule phose iviki, uJesu wathatha uJakhobe loJohane kanye loPhetro wahamba labo “entabeni ende.” Mhlawumbe babesiya eNtabeni iHemoni eyayikhatshana ngamakhilomitha angu-25. Kumele ukuthi kwakusebusuku ngoba amadoda la womathathu ayelokhu ewozela ngapha uJesu ekhuleka. Kodwa wathi esakhuleka kwenzakala isimanga esenza avuka khwatshu!—Mat. 17:1; Luk. 9:28, 29, 32.
21 UJesu waqalisa ukuguquka bembona ngawabo. Ubuso bakhe bantshintsha baze babenyezela salanga. Izigqoko zakhe lazo zasezikhazimula, sezimhlophe nke. Besathi sikubonile, thutshu embonweni amadoda amabili, uMosi lo-Elija. Yatsha ingxoxo amadoda la ekhuluma loJesu “ngokusuka kwakhe okwasekusondele ukuthi kugcwaliseke eJerusalema.” Kukhanya babexoxa ngokufa langokuvuswa kwakhe. Kwathi dlwe kuPhetro, wakubona ukuthi wayegxanguzile sibili ngokuma ngelokuthi uJesu wayengasoze ahlukuluzwe njalo afe.—Luk. 9:30, 31.
22, 23. (a) Kuyini okutshengisa ukuthi uPhetro wayetshiseka njalo elomusa? (b) UPhetro, loJakhobe kanye loJohane bathola siphi esinye isibusiso?
22 UPhetro kwamalela ukuthi azihlalele nje abukele isimanga leso. Yikho wathi kahle laye aphose elakhe. Engxenye wayezama ukuthi ayelule ingxoxo, nanko phela kwasekukhanya angathi uMosi lo-Elija basebesuka kuJesu. Ngakho-ke wathi: “Nkosi, kumnandi kithi ukuba lapha. Kasakhe amadumba amathathu—elakho, elinye elika Mosi lelinye elika-Elija.” Kodwa lo kwakungumbono kuphela. UMosi lo-Elija kwasekukade bazifela, yikho babengeke bahlale kulawo madumba. Kuyakhanya-ke ukuthi uPhetro wayekhulume engaqalanga wacabangisisa. Kodwa uthini ngokutshiseka kwendoda le kanye lomusa wayo?—Luk. 9:33.
23 Ngalobobusuku, uPhetro loJakhobe kanye loJohane bathola esinye isibusiso. Kwaqubuka ifu lagubuzela intaba ababekuyo, kwaqhamuka ilizwi eyezini lelo. KwakungelikaJehova uNkulunkulu ngokwakhe! Wathi: “Lo yiNdodana yami engiyikhethileyo; yilaleleni.” Bathi besithi qaqabu bazibona sebebodwa loJesu entabeni. Umbono wawusuphelile.—Luk. 9:34-36.
24. (a) Umbono uPhetro awubonayo wamsiza ngani? (b) Kumele senzeni nxa sifuna ukuthi umbono owabonwa nguPhetro usisize?
24 Umbono lo wamnceda kakhulu uPhetro futhi lathi ungasiphathisa. Kwathi sekwedlule iminyaka leminyaka lokhu kwenzakele, waloba mayelana lesibusiso leso sokuba ‘ngufakazi wobukhosi bukaJesu.’ Kwakungathi uthe lungu kancane wambona eyiNkosi yasezulwini elenkazimulo. Umbono lo watshengisa ukuthi iziphrofetho eziseLizwini likaNkulunkulu zizagcwaliseka njalo waluqinisa ukholo lukaPhetro. Lokhu kwamsiza ukuthi alwisane lobunzima obabuzamehlela. (Bala u-2 Phetro 1:16-19.) Lathi ungasisiza nxa singalingisela uPhetro, sihlale siqotho eNkosini le ebekwe nguJehova, silandele isibonelo sayo, siyilalele nxa isiqondisa njalo sizithobe kuyo nsuku zonke.
^ indima 6 Ngayizolo kwakhona ixuku labantu lalikhulume lilamadlabuzane lisithi uJesu wayengumphrofethi kaNkulunkulu. (Joh. 6:14) Kodwa lapha kuyamangalisa ukuthi abantu laba basebeguquke okonwabu. Babengomajikeduze sibili.
