06 – Isihogo

Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Ubani osukuba onile kum, ndiya kucima yena encwadini yam. Ke ngoko hamba ubalathise abantu, baye kuloo ndawo ndathethayo ngayo kuwe. Yabona, isithunywa sam sohamba phambi kwakho; ke mini ndivelelayo, ndiya kusivelela isono sabo kubo.

UYehova akasayi kuvuma ukumxolela; wosuka uqhume umsindo kaYehova nekhwele lakhe kuloo ndoda, silalephezu kwayo sonke isishwabulo esibhaliweyo kule ncwadi, alicime uYehova igama layo phantsi kwezulu.

Ngokuba kuphenjwe umlilo emathatheni am; Utsha ude use kwelingaphantsi labafileyo, Ulidle ihlabathi neendyebo zalo, Uvuthise iziseko zeentaba.

Liphelile ilifu, limkile; Unjalo ohla aye kwelabafileyo, akenyuki.

Ukuba ngemini yokusindeka wanqandwa ongendawo, Ngemini yokuphuphuma umsindo wemkiswa?

Baya kubuyela kwelabafileyo abangendawo, Kwaiintlanga zonke ezimlibalayo uThixo;

Ngokuba akuyi kuwushiya umphefumlo wam kwelabafileyo; Akuyi kumyekela owakho wenceba ukuba abonane nesihogo.

Izintya zelabafileyo zandibhijela; Izirhintyelo zokufa zabetha kum.

Isandla sakho siya kuzifumana zonke iintshaba zakho, Esokunene sakho siya kubafumana abakuthiyayo. Uya kubenza babe njengeziko lomlilo, wakubonakala. UYehova uya kubaginya ngomsindo wakhe, Nomlilo ubadle.

Ukufa makubaqubule, Mabehle baye kwelabafileyo besaphilile; Ngokuba ububi busemizini yabo phakathi kwabo.

Mabacinywe encwadini yobomi, Bangabhalwa namalungisa.

Abamthiyayo uYehova bebeya kuhanahanisa kuye, Libe ngunaphakade ixesha labo.

Ngokuba inceba yakho ibe inkulu kum; Wawuhlangula umphefumlo wam kwelingaphantsi labafileyo.

Isityhakala asinakwazi; Isinyabi asikuqondi oko. Ekudubuleni kongendawo njengomfuno, Ekutyatyambeni kwabasebenzi bonke bobutshinga, Kukuze batshabalale ngonaphakade.

Behleli emnyameni nasethunzini lokufa, Bekhonkxwe yimbandezelo nasisinyithi, Ngokuba bephikise amazwi kaThixo, Belitshitshisa icebo lOsenyangweni:

UYehova ungumgcini wabo bonke abamthandayo, Abatshabalalise bonke abangendawo.

Akazi ukuba abafileyo bakhona; Basezinzulwini zelabafileyo abamenywa bakhe. Imizekeliso kaSolomon.

Elabafileyo nenzonzobila ziphambi koYehova; Zibeke phi na ke iintliziyo zoonyana babantu!

Koqiqayo umendo wobomi usinga phezulu, Ukuze emke kwelabafileyo elingaphantsi.

Musa ukuluyeka uqeqesho emntwaneni; Ukuba uthe wambetha ngentonga akayi kufa. Wombetha ngentonga, Uhlangule umphefumlo wakhe kwelabafileyo.

Elabafileyo nenzonzobila azinakuhlutha, Namehlo omntu akanakuhlutha.

Ukuhlanganiswa kwentetho, yakuba ivakele into yonke, nanku: Yoyika uThixo, ugcine imithetho yakhe; ngokuba indawo leyo yimfanelo yoluntu lonke. Ngokuba izenzo zonke uThixo uya kuzizisa ekugwetyweni, izinto zonke ezifihlakeleyo, nokuba zilungile nokuba zimbi.

Ukhanyiso lukaSirayeli luya kuba ngumlilo, oyiNgcwele wakhe abe lilangatye, litshise lidle amakhakakhaka akhe nobobo lwakhe ngamini-nye. Uya kubuphelisa ubuqaqawuli behlathi lakhe, nobentsimi yakhe echumayo, ethabathela emphefumlweni ase enyameni, kube njengokungcungcutheka komntu ofayo;

Ivumba elithozamisayo kuye likukoyika uYehova, angagwebi ngokokubona kwamehlo akhe, angohlwayi ngokokuva kweendlebe zakhe. Uya kuligweba ityala lezisweli ngobulungisa, abalungiselele abalulamileyo behlabathi ngokuthe tye, alibethe ihlabathi ngentonga yomlomo wakhe, ambulale ongendawo ngomoya wemilebe yomlomo wakhe.

Bhombolozani, kuba isondele imini kaYehova, ivela ngokwembuqo kuSomandla. Ngenxa yoko ziwile iingalo zonke, zonke iintliziyo zabantu zinyibilikile. Bakhwankqile, bafikelwe kukupenapena nayinimba; bayazibhijabhija njengozalayo, bakhwankqiswe ulowo nguwabo; ubuso babo bubuso bamalangatye. Yabona, imini kaYehova iyeza, inobujorha, iphuphuma umsindo, ishushu, ukuba ilenze libe senkangala ilizwe, ibatshabalalise aboni balo kulo. Kuba iinkwenkwezi zezulu namakroza alo akayi kukhanyisa kukhanya kwawo; liya kuba mnyama ilanga ekuphumeni kwalo, inyanga ingabi mhlophe ukukhanya kwayo. Ndolivelela elimiweyo ngenxa yobubi balo, nabangendawo ngenxa yobugwenxa babo, ndiliphelise ikratshi labakhukhumeleyo, ndilithobele phantsi ikratshi labangcangcazelisi;

Ngenxa yoko ndiya kuligungqisa izulu, nehlabathi linyikime, lishenxe endaweni yalo ngokuphuphuma komsindo kaYehova wemikhosi, ngemini yokuvutha komsindo wakhe;

Elabafileyo ngaphantsi liyagungqa nguwe, ngokubona ukuza kwakho; likuxhoxhela abafileyo, zonke iinkunzi ezikhokelayo zehlabathi; liphakamisa ezitroneni zabo bonke ookumkani beentlanga. Zonke ziphela zasusela ngelithi kuwe, Nawe wenziwe ofayo njengathi na? usuke wafana nathi na? Buhliselwe kwelabafileyo ubungangamsha bakho, isandi semirhubhe yakho; kwandlelwe iimpethu ngaphantsi kwakho, akugubungele amanundu.

Utheni na ukuwa emazulwini, Khwezi, nyana wesifingo! ukunqunyulwa uwe emhlabeni, mngquli weentlanga! Wena ke wathi entliziyweni yakho, Ndiyakunyukela emazulwini, ndiyinyuse itrone yam ibe ngaphezu kweenkwenkwezi zikaThixo; ndihlale entabeni yentlanganiso, engontsini yasentla. Ndiya kunyuka ngaphezu kweziganga zamafu, ndizifanise nOsenyangweni; kanti uya kuhliselwa kwelabafileyo, engontsini yomhadi.

Abafileyo abo abasayi kuba saphila; abangasekhoyo abo abasayi kuba savuka; ngoko ke ubavelele wabatshabalalisa, wakwenza kwadaka konke ukukhunjulwa kwabo.

Kuba, yabona, uYehova uphuma endaweni yakhe, ukuze abuvelele kubo ubugwenxa babemi behlabathi; ihlabathi lowatyhila amagazi alo, lingabi sabaselela ababuleweyo balo.

Aliyi kucinywa ubusuku nemini; umsi walo uya kunyuka ngonaphakade; liya kuchithakala kwisizukulwana ngesizukulwana; liya kuhlala lihleli lodwa, kungabikho ucanda kulo.

Kuba elabafileyo alinakukuncoma, ukufa akunakukudumisa; Abahla baye emhadini abakulindele ukunyanisa kwakho.

Kuba, yabonani, uYehova uya kuza ngomlilo, zinjengesaqhwithi iinqwelo zakhe zokulwa, ukuze abuyekeze umsindo wakhe ngobushushu, nokukhalima kwakhe ngamalangatye omlilo. Kuba uYehova uya kuyigweba ngomlilo nangekrele lakhe inyama yonke, babe baninzi ababuleweyo nguYehova.

Baya kuphuma babone izidumbu zamadoda akreqileyo kum; kuba iimpethu zabo aziyi kufa, nomlilo wabo ungacimi, babe linyumnyezi kuluntu lonke.

Yabonani, yonke imiphefumlo yeyam; umphefumlo woyise unjengomphefumlo wonyana, yeyam yomibini; umphefumlo owonayo, kuya kufa wona.

Ndabona; ndaza ngenxa yesandi samazwi amakhulu kakhulu olwawathethayo uphondo, ndabona, lada labulawa irhamncwa, wabhujiswa umzimba walo, wanikelwa emlilweni uvutha.

athethe amazwi okuchasana nOsenyangweni, abonakalise abangcwele bOsenyangweni, acamange ngokuwenza wambi amathuba nomthetho, banikelwe esandleni sakhe ixesha namaxesha nesiqingatha sexesha. Ke abagwebi baya kuhlala phantsi, balisuse igunya lakhe, ukuze litshabalale lidake, kude kuse ekupheleni.

Kuya kuvuka abaninzi kwabaleleyo eluthulini lomhlaba, aba baye ebomini obungunaphakade, naba baye kwingcikivo nakwinyumnyezi engunaphakade.

Ngokuba, yabonani, iyeza imini evutha njengeziko; baya kuba ziindiza bonke abakhukhumali, nabenzi bonke bokungendawo, ibalenye loo mini izayo, utsho uYehova wemikhosi, ingabashiyeli ngcambu nasebe.

Ke kaloku, akubona into eninzi yabaFarisi nabaSadusi besiza ekubhaptizeni kwakhe, wathi kubo, Nzalandini yamarhamba, ngubani na onibonisileyo ukuba niyibaleke ingqumbo ezayo?

Kananjalo izembe selibekiwe engcanjini yemithi; ngoko yonke imithi engavelisi siqhamo sihle, iyagawulwa iphoswe emlilweni.

omnyazi wokwela usesandleni sakhe; uya kusicokisa kuthi tu isanda sakhe, ayibuthele kuvimba ingqolowa yakhe, kodwa wona umququ uya kuwutshisa ngomlilo ongacimekiyo.

Nivile ukuba kwathiwa kumanyange, Uze ungabulali; wothi othe wabulala, abe sisisulu somgwebo. Ke mna ndithi kuni, Wonke umntu ofumana amqumbele umzalwana wakhe, woba sisisulu somgwebo; othe ke kumzalwana wakhe, Ntw’ ingento, woba sisisulu sentlanganiso yamatyala; othe ke, Siyathandini, woba sisisulu sesihogo somlilo.

Ukuba ke iliso lakho lokunene liyakukhubekisa, linyothule ulilahle kuwe; kuba kukulungele kanye ukuba kutshabalale libe linye emalungwini akho, kunokuba umzimba wakho uphela uphoswe esihogweni. Nokuba isandla sakho sokunene siyakukhubekisa, sinqamle usilahle kuwe; kuba kukulungele kanye ukuba kutshabalale libe linye emalungwini akho, kunokuba umzimba wakho uphela uphoswe esihogweni.

Ngenani ngesango elimxinwa; ngokuba libanzi isango, iphangalele nendlela, esa entshabalalweni; baninzi ke abangena ngalo. Ngokuba limxinwa isango, icuthene nendlela, esa ebomini; bambalwa ke abalifumanayo.

Wonke umthi ongavelisi ziqhamo zihle uyagawulwa, uphoswe emlilweni. Ngoko ke nobaqonda ngeziqhamo zabo.

Asingabo bonke abathi kum, Nkosi, Nkosi, abaya kungena ebukumkanini bamazulu; ngokwenzayo ukuthanda kukaBawo osemazulwini. Baninzi abaya kuthi kum ngaloo mini, Nkosi, Nkosi, sasingathe na egameni lakho saprofeta, sathi egameni lakho sakhupha iidemon, sathi egameni lakho senza imisebenzi yamandla emininzi? Ndandule ndibaxelele, ndithi, Andizanga ndinazi; mkani kum, nina nenza okuchasene nomthetho.

Kodwa bona abantwana bobukumkani baya kukhutshelwa emnyameni ongaphandle; khona apho kuya kubakho ukulila nokutshixiza kwamazinyo.

Ningaboyiki abo babulala umzimba, kodwa bengenako ukuwubulala wona umphefumlo; yoyikani ke kanye lowo unako ukutshabalalisa umphefumlo kwanomzimba esihogweni somlilo.

Umntu olungileyo, ebuncwaneni obulungileyo bentliziyo yakhe, ukhupha izinto ezilungileyo; nomntu okhohlakeleyo, ebuncwaneni obukhohlakeleyo, ukhupha izinto ezikhohlakeleyo. Ndithi ke kuni, Onke amazwi angewani abathe bawathetha abantu, baya kuphendula ngawo ngomhla womgwebo; kuba ngawo amazwi akho uya kugwetyelwa, nangawo amazwi akho uya kugwetywa.

intsimi ke lihlabathi; imbewu ke entle ngoonyana bobukumkani abo; umdiza ke ngoonyana bongendawo; utshaba ke olwawuhlwayelayo wona nguMtyholi; ukuvuna ke kukupheliswa kwephakade eli; abavuni ke zizithunywa zezulu. Njengokuba ngoko ubuthwa umdiza, utshiswe ngomlilo, kuya kuba njalo ekuphelisweni kweli phakade. UNyana woMntu uya kuthuma izithunywa zakhe, zize zibuthe, zikhuphe ebukumkanini bakhe, zonke izikhubekiso, nabo benza okuchasene nomthetho; zibaphose ezikweni lomlilo; khona apho kuya kubakho ukulila nokutshixiza kwamazinyo.

Kuya kuba njalo ekuphelisweni kwephakade eli: ziya kuphuma izithunywa zezulu, zibakhethe abangendawo phakathi kwamalungisa, zibaphose ezikweni lomlilo; khona apho kuya kubakho ukulila nokutshixiza kwamazinyo.

Nam ke, ndithi kuwe, UnguPetros wena; ndiya kulakhela phezu kolu lwalwa ibandla lam, namasango elabafileyo akayi kuloyisa.

Kuba, kumnceda ntoni na umntu, ukuba uthe wazuza ihlabathi liphela, waza wonakalelwa ke ngumphefumlo wakhe? Okanye worhola ntoni na umntu, ibe sisananelo somphefumlo wakhe? Kuba uNyana woMntu uza kuza esebuqaqawulini boYise, enezithunywa zakhe, andule ukubavuza bonke ngabanye ngokokwenza kwabo.

Wathi, Inene, ndithi kuni, Ukuba anithanga niguquke, nibe njengabantwana aba, aniyi kukha ningene ebukumkanini bamazulu.

Ke othe wakhubekisa noko amnye waba bancinane bakholwayo kum, ebelungelwe kanye kukuba anxitywe ilitye lokusila entanyeni, antywiliselwe enzulwini yolwandle.

Ukuba ke isandla sakho, nokuba lunyawo lwakho, luya kukhubekisa, lunqamle, ululahle: kukulungele ukuba ungene ebomini usisiqhwala, mhlawumbi usisilima, kunokuba uthi, unezandla ezibini, mhlawumbi uneenyawo ezimbini, uphoswe emlilweni ongunaphakade. Nokuba iliso lakho liya kukhubekisa, lincothule, ulilahle; kukulungele ukuba ungene ebomini unaliso linye, kunokuba uthi, unamehlo amabini, uphoswe esihogweni somlilo.

Ke kaloku akungena ukumkani, eza kukhangela abamenyiweyo, wabona apho umntu ongambethe ngubo yamsitho. Athi kuye, Wethu, utheni na ukungena apha, ungenayo ingubo yomsitho? Lamkhohla ke. Wathi ukumkani kubalungiseleli, Mbopheni iinyawo nezandla, nimthabathe, nimkhuphele ebumnyameni bangaphandle; khona apho kuya kubakho ukulila nokutshixiza kwamazinyo.

Zinyokandini, nzalandini yamarhamba, ningathini na ukuwusaba umgwebo wesihogo?

imsike kubini, immisele isabelo sakhe nabahanahanisi; khona apho kuya kubakho ukulila nokutshixiza kwamazinyo.

Kuthe ke, zisaya kuthenga, wafika umyeni; zaza ezo bezisezilungile zangena naye emsithweni, lwavalwa ke ucango. Zithi ke kamva zifike nezinye iintombi ezo, zisithi, Nkosi, nkosi, sivulele. Yaphendula ke yona yathi, Inene ndithi kuni, andinazi nina.

Naye umkhonzi ongancedi lutho, mkhupheleni ebumnyameni obungaphandle; khona apho kuya kubakho ukulila nokutshixiza kwamazinyo.

Xa ke athe wafika uNyana woMntu esebuqaqawulini bakhe, enazo zonke izithunywa ezingcwele, ngelo xa uya kuhlala phezu kwetrone yobuqaqawuli bakhe; zihlanganiswe phambi kwakhe zonke iintlanga, abahlule abanye kwabanye, njengokuba umalusi ezahlula izimvu ezibhokhweni; athi zona izimvu azimise ngasekunene kwakhe, athi kodwa zona iibhokhwe azimise ngasekhohlo.

Uya kuthi nakwabangasekhohlo, Mkani kum, nina baqalekiswa, niye emlilweni ongunaphakade, owalungiselwa uMtyholi nezithunywa zakhe. Kuba ndalamba, anandipha kudla; ndanxanwa, anandiseza; ndandingowasemzini, anandingenisa ndlwini; ndandize, anandambesa; ndandisifa, ndandisentolongweni, anandivelela. Boza ke bamphendule nabo, besithi, Nkosi, sakubona nini na ulambile, okanye unxaniwe, okanye ungowasemzini, okanye uze, okanye usifa, okanye usentolongweni, asakulungiselela? Aze abaphendule, esithi, Inene ndithi kuni, Ekubeni ningenjanga njalo nakumnye waba bangabona bancinane, anenjanga njalo nakum. Baya kumka aba baye elubethweni olungunaphakade; ke wona amalungisa aya kuya ebomini obungunaphakade.

ke yena othe wanyelisa uMoya oyiNgcwele, akanako ukuxolelwa naphakade; unetyala lokugwetywa okungunaphakade.

Kuba komnceda ntoni na umntu, ukuba uthe walizuza ihlabathi liphela, waza wonakalelwa ngumphefumlo wakhe? Okanye worhola ntoni na umntu, ibe sisananelo somphefumlo wakhe?

Nothe wakhubekisa noko amnye wabancinane abakholwayo kum, ngekumlungele kanye ukuba ubegangxwe ilitye lokusila entanyeni yakhe, waphoswa elwandle. Nokuba ke isandla sakho sithe sakukhubekisa, sinqamle sona; kukulungele kanye ukuba ungene ebomini usisilima, kunokuba uthi, unezandla zozibini, umke uye esihogweni, emlilweni ongacimekiyo, apho kumpethu ingafiyo, kumlilo ungacinywayo. Nokuba unyawo lwakho luthe lwakukhubekisa, lunqamle lona; kukulungele kanye ukuba ungene ebomini usisiqhwala, kunokuba uthi, uneenyawo zombini, uphoswe esihogweni, emlilweni ongacimekiyo, apho kumpethu ingafiyo, kumlilo ungacinywayo. Nokuba iliso lakho lithe lakukhubekisa, likhuphe lona; kukulungele kanye ukungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo unaliso linye, kunokuba uthi, unamehlo amabini, uphoswe esihogweni somlilo, apho kumpethu ingafiyo, kumlilo ungacinywayo.

Lowo ukholiweyo wabhaptizwa, wosindiswa; ke yena ongakholwanga, wogwetywa.

omnyazi wokwela usesandleni sakhe. Uya kusicokisa kuthi tu isanda sakhe, ayibuthele kuvimba wakhe ingqolowa; ke wona umququ uya kuwutshisa ngomlilo ongacimekiyo.

UYesu wambuza ke esithi, Ungubani na igama lakho? Uthe ke yena, NdinguMkhosi; kuba kwakungene kuye iidemon ezininzi. Wayembongoza ukuba angazithetheli ziye kungena enzonzobileni.

Kuba kumnceda ntoni na umntu ukuthi azuze ihlabathi liphela, abe ke ezilahlile, mhlawumbi ezonakalisile?

Nawe Kapernahum, uphakanyiselweyo ezulwini, uya kuphoswa phantsi kwelabafileyo. Lowo univayo nina, uva mna; nalowo unigibayo nina, ugiba mna; lowo ke ugiba mna, ugiba lowo wandithumayo.

Ndiya kunibonisa ke enomoyika; yoyikani lowo uthi emva kokubulala, abe negunya lokuphosa esihogweni. Ewe, ndithi kuni, Yoyikani yena lowo.

Ndithi kuni, Hayi; nothi xa sukuba ningaguquki, nitshabalale kwangokunjalo nonke.

Ke kaloku wathi othile kuye, Nkosi, bambalwa na abo basindiswayo? Uthe ke yena kubo, Zamani ukungena ngesango elimxinwa; ngokuba ndithi kuni, baninzi abaya kufuna ukungena, bakhohlwe. Xa selethe wavuka umninindlu, waluvala ucango, naza naqala ukuma ngaphandle, nokunkqonkqoza elucangweni, nisithi, Nkosi, nkosi, sivulele: uya kuza aphendule athi kuni, Andinazi apho nivela khona. Niya kwandula niqale ukuthi, Sadla, sasela, emehlweni akho; nawe wafundisa ezitratweni zethu. Athi, Ndithi kuni, andinazi apho nivela khona; mkani kum, nina nonke basebenzi bokungalungileyo. Khona apho kuya kubakho ukulila nokutshixiza kwamazinyo, xa nithe nabona uAbraham, noIsake, noYakobi, nabo bonke abaprofeti, ebukumkanini bukaThixo; nibe ke nina nikhutshelwe phandle.

Ke bekukho umntu othile osisityebi, obevatha ezibomvu nezelinen ecikizekileyo, esenza imihlali yokuzuka kwakhe imihla yonke. Bekukho ke hlwempu lithile, ligama linguLazaro, elalikhahlelwe esangweni lakhe, lizele zizilonda, linqwenela ukuhluthiswa ngeemvuthuluka eziwa etafileni yesityebi eso; zibe zisithi izinja, zize zikhothe izilonda zalo. Ke kaloku lathi lafa ihlwempu elo, lasiwa zizithunywa zezulu esifubeni sika-Abraham; safa ke nesityebi, sangcwatywa. Size, sikwelabafileyo, siphakamise amehlo aso sisentuthumbeni, simbone uAbraham ekude, ulazaro esesifubeni sakhe. Samemeza sona sathi, Bawo, Abraham, ndenzele inceba, uthume uLazaro, ukuba athi nkxu incam yomnwe wakhe emanzini, aphozise ulwimi lwam; ngokuba ndiyathuthunjelwa kweli langatye. Uthe ke uAbraham, Mntwana wam, khumbula ukuba wena wazifincelela ebomini bakho izinto zakho ezilungileyo, noLazaro ngokukwanjalo izinto ezimbi; ngoku ke yena uyathuthuzelwa, wena ke uyathuthunjelwa. Kananjalo ngaphandle kwale nto yonke, phakathi kwethu nani kuthiwe zinzi umsantsa omkhulu, ukuze aba bathanda ukuphumela, besuka apha besiya kuni, bangabi nako; bathi nabalapho, bangabi nakuwelela kuthi. Sathi, Ndiyakucela ngoko, bawo, ukuba umthume endlwini kabawo; kuba ndinabazalwana abahlanu; ukuba abaqononondise, ukuze bangathi nabo beze kule ndawo yentuthumbo. Athi uAbraham kuso, BanoMoses nabaprofeti, mabeve bona. Sithe ke sona, Hayi, bawo Abraham; ukuba kuthe kwaya kubo ovela kwabafileyo, boguquka. Uthe ke kuso, Ukuba uMoses nabaprofeti ababeva, abayi koyiseka, nokuba kuthe kwavuka bani kwabafileyo.

Kuba wenjenje uThixo ukulithanda kwakhe ihlabathi, ude wancama uNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo, ukuze bonke abakholwayo kuye bangatshabalali, koko babe nobomi obungunaphakade. Kuba uThixo akamthumanga uNyana wakhe ehlabathini, ukuze aligwebe ihlabathi; wamthuma ukuze ihlabathi lisindiswe ngaye. Lowo ukholwayo kuye, akagwetywa; ke lowo ungakholwayo, uselegwetyiwe, ngokuba engakholwanga kwigana loNyana okuphela kwamzeleyo uThixo. Ke kaloku, umgwebo nguwo lo, ukuba ukhanyiso lufikile ehlabathini, baza abantu bathanda ubumnyama ngaphezu kokhanyiso; kuba imisebenzi yabo ingendawo. Kuba bonke abenza okubi, bayaluthiya ukhanyiso, bangezi elukhanyisweni, ukuze imisebenzi yabo ingohlwaywa.

Lowo ukholwayo kuNyana, unobomi obungunaphakade; ke lowo ungamviyo uNyana, akayi kubona bomi; ingqumbo kaThixo ihleli phezu kwakhe.

Musani ukumangaliswa kuko oko; ngokuba kuza ilixa abaya kuthi ngalo bonke abasemangcwabeni balive ilizwi lakhe; baphume ke: abo benza izinto ezilungileyo beze eluvukweni lobomi; nabo ke benza izinto ezimbi, beze eluvukweni lokugwetywa.

Ukuba umntu uthe akahlala kum, ulahlelwa phandle njengesebe, ome; baze abantu bawabuthe, bawaphose emlilweni, atshiswe.

Kananjalo akuyi kumnikela oyiNgcwele wakho ekuboneni ukubola.

uthe ebona ngenxa engaphambili, wathetha ngako ukuvuka kukaKristu, ukuba umphefumlo wakhe ungashiywanga kwelabafileyo nenyama yakhe ingabonanga kubola.

Kuba ityhilekile ingqumbo kaThixo ivela emazulwini, ichase konke ukungahloneli Thixo, nentswela-bulungisa yabantu, abayithintelayo inyaniso ngokuswela ukulungisa. Ngokokuba oko kwazekayo ngoThixo kuyabonakala ngaphakathi kwabo; kuba uThixo wakubonakalalisa kubo. Kuba kwasekudalweni kwehlabathi, iindawo zakhe ezibe zingenakubonwa zibonwa kakuhle, ziqondeke, ngezinto ezenziweyo, kwa-amandla akhe angunaphakade, nobuThixo bakhe, ukuze bangabi nakuziphendulela. Ngokokuba bathe, bemazi uThixo, abamzukisa ngokoThixo, ababulela kuye; basuka bazizinto ezingento ezicamangweni zabo, yaza intliziyo yabo engenakuqonda yenziwa yamnyama; bathi besiba bazizilumko, besuka baba ziziyatha;

Ke uthi, ngokuba lukhuni kwakho, nentliziyo yakho engenanguquko, uziqwebele ingqumbo, ngemini yengqumbo nokutyhilwa komgwebo onobulungisa kaThixo; oya kuvuza ulowo nalowo ngokwemisebenzi yakhe: abo bathi ngokomonde emsebenzini olungileyo bafune uzuko nembeko nokungonakali, abavuze ngobomi obungunaphakade; ke kwabo beyelenqe, bangayithambeliyo inyaniso, basuke bathambele intswela-bulungisa, kuya kubakho umsindo nengqumbo,

Kuba umvuzo wesono kukufa; ke sona isibabalo sikaThixo bubomi obungunaphakade, kuKristu Yesu iNkosi yethu.

Ngoko ke, ngoku akukho kugwetywa kwabakuKristu Yesu; abangahambiyo ngokwenyama, abahamba ngokoMoya. Kuba umthetho woMoya wobomi, ndakuba kuKristu Yesu, wandikhulula emthethweni wesono nokufa.

Musani ukuziphindezelela, zint’anda; yikhweleleni ingqumbo; kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Impindezelo yeyam, kuya kubuyekeza mna, itsho iNkosi.

Kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Ndihleli nje mna, itsho iNkosi, aya kugoba kum onke amadolo, Zidumise uThixo zonke iilwimi. Ngoko ke elowo kuthi uya kuziphendulela kuThixo.

Kuba thina aba sonke simelwe kukuthi sibonakalaliswe phambi kwesihlalo sokugweba sikaKristu, ukuze elowo azuziswe okwenziwe ngomzimba, ngoko akwenzileyo, nokuba kokulungileyo, nokuba kokubi. Sikwazi njalo ke ukoyikeka kweNkosi, sizamela ukuba beyiseke abantu; sibonakalalisiwe ke kuThixo, ndiyathemba ke ukuba nakuzo izazela zenu sibonakalalisiwe.

Lowo umonayo omnye uya kukuthwala oko kona one ngako; kanjalo akukho kukhetha buso bamntu.

inomlilo odangazelayo, ibaphindezela abangamaziyo uThixo, nabangazilulameliyo iindaba ezilungileyo zeNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu; bona abo baya kuva ukubethwa, intshabalalo engunaphakade ke leyo, bemke ebusweni beNkosi, nasebuqaqawulini bokomelela kwayo;

Ke kwanjengokuba ke abantu bemiselwe ukuba bafe kube kanye, ize ke emveni koko ibe ngumgwebo:

Kuba, xa sithi sone ngabomi, emveni kokuba sakwamkelayo ukwazi inyaniso, akusasele dini ngenxa yezono; sekusele ke ukulinda okoyikekayo kakhulu, umgwebo nomsindo womlilo, oza kudla abo bachasileyo.

Niba wobeka phi na ke ukufanelwa kukubethwa okubi ngakumbi, lo umnyathelele phantsi uNyana kaThixo, walibalela ekuthini liyinqambi igazi lomnqophiso athe wangcwaliswa ngalo, wamgxeka uMoya wobabalo? Kuba siyamazi lowo watshoyo ukuthi, Impindezelo yeyam, kuya kubuyekeza mna, itsho iNkosi. Kananjalo wathi, INkosi iya kubagweba abantu bayo. Kuyoyikeka ke ukweyela ezandleni zoThixo ophilileyo.

Ngokuba noKristu wabuva kwakanye ubunzima ngenxa yezono, ilungisa lisiva ubunzima ngenxa yabangemalungisa, ukuze asisondeze kuye uThixo; ebulewe okunene esenyameni, kodwa edliswe ubomi ekuwo umoya. Awathi ekuwo, waya washumayela koomoya abasekukhonkxweni,

Ke kaloku, kwakukho nabaprofeti ababuxoki phakathi kwabantu; njengokuba naphakathi kwenu kuya kubakho abafundisi ababuxoki, bona baya kungenisa bucala amahlelo entshabalalo, bemkhanyela uMnini-nto-zonke owabathengayo, bezizisela intshabalalo emsinya. Baninzi abaya kulandela intshabalalo yabo; eya kunyeliswa ngenxa yabo indlela yenyaniso. Bathi benokubawa, banibonelele ngamazwi alalanisayo; abakugwetywa kungaphumliyo kwakudala, nayo intshabalalo yabo ayozeli.

Kuba, xa uThixo angaziconganga izithunywa zezulu ezonayo, wesuka wathi, ezikhahlele enzonzobileni, wazinikela emixokelelwaneni yesithokothoko, zigcinelwe umgwebo; naxa angaliconganga ihlabathi lakudala, wesuka walondoloza uNowa, umvakalisi wobulungisa, enabasixhenxe, akuba elihlisele unogumbe ihlabathi labangahloneli Thixo; xa athe nemizi yaseSodom neGomora wayitshisa yaluthuthu, wayigweba ukuba ibhukuqeke, wayenza umzekelo wabaza kuba ngabangahloneli Thixo; wamhlangula uLote olilungisa, owacatshukiswa kukuhamba eburheletyweni kwabangenammiselo; kuba laye, ngokubona nangokuva, ilungisa elo lihleli phakathi kwabo imihla ngemihla, liwuthuthumbisa umphefumlo walo olungisayo, ngemisebenzi yabo echasene nomthetho; iyakwazi iNkosi ukubahlangula ekuhendweni abahlonela uThixo; ke abangemalungisa ibagcinele imini yomgwebo, ukuba babethwe; ngokukodwa ke abo balandela inyama ngokukhanuka ukuzidyobha, abadela ubukhosi. Ngabasileyo, abenza ngokuzithandela, abangoyikiyo ukunyelisa izikhakhamela. Ukanti izithunywa zezulu, zingaphezulu nje ngokomelela namandla, azizigwebi ngamgwebo unyelisayo phambi kweNkosi.

Aba bayimithombo engenamanzi, amafu aqhutywa luqhwithela, besigcinelwe bona isithokothoko sobumnyama ngonaphakade.

Ke lona izulu langoku, nawo umhlaba lo, kwangelo lizwi ezo zinto ziqwetyelwe, zigcinelwe, umlilo, kuse kwimini yomgwebo nentshabalalo yabantu abangahloneli Thixo.

INkosi ayilibali dinga, njengoko abathile baba iyalibala; isuka izeke kade umsindo kuthi, ingangi kungatshabalala nabani; inga bonke bangasinga enguqukweni.

Lowo umthiyileyo umzalwana wakhe usisibulala-mntu; niyazi ukuba akukho sibulala-mntu sinobomi bungunaphakade buhleliyo kuso.

Bubo obu ke ubungqina: ukuba uThixo usinike ubomi obungunaphakade; baye obo bomi bukuye uNyana wakhe. Lowo unaye uNyana, unabo ubomi; lowo ungenaye uNyana kaThixo, akanabo ubomi.

Kuba kuthwethwe bantu bathile; abo babebalulelwe ngenxa engaphambili kolo lugwebo, abangahloneli Thixo, belujikela eburheletyweni ubabalo lukaThixo wethu, bemkhanyela okuphela koMnini-nto-zonke, uThixo wethu, iNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu.

Kananjalo izithunywa zezulu, ezo zazingalugcinanga ulawulo lwazo, zesuka zalishiya ikhaya lazo, izigcinele umgwebo womhla omkhulu ngemixokelelwane engunaphakade, phantsi kwesithokothoko. Njengokuba iSodom neGomora, nayo imizi engakuyo, yenza kakhulu umbulo ngohlobo olufana nolwazo ezo, imka ilandela nyama yimbi, ibekwe ekuhleni ukuba ibe ngumqondiso, iviswa ubetho lomlilo ongunaphakade.

Aba zizixhobo zamatye aselwandle ezidlweni zenu zothando, bezingxala ukudla nani, bezidlisa okwabo ngokungenakoyika. Bangamafu angenamanzi, aqhutywaqhutywa yimimoya; bayimithi evuthulukileyo, engenaziqhamo, efe kabini, enyothulwe iingcambu; bangamaza alwayo olwandle, elephuza awawo amahlazo; baziinkwenkwezi eziphalaphalayo, begcinelwe isithokothoko sobumnyama ngonaphakade.

kodwa inxenye yisindiseni nizoyikela, nibaphanga emlilweni, niyithiya nengubo edyojiweyo yinyama.

ndaye ndifile; yabona, ndingobudlayo ubomi kuse emaphakadeni asemaphakadeni. Amen. Ndinazo nezitshixo zelabafileyo nezokufa.

Lowo unendlebe, makayive into ayithethayo uMoya kuwo amabandla. Lowo weyisayo akayi kukha oniwe kukufa kwesibini.

Sathi esesihlanu isithunywa savuthela ixilongo; ndabona inkwenkwezi iphuma ezulwini, yawela emhlabeni; sanikwa isitshixo sequla lenzonzobila. Salivula iqula lenzonzobila. Kwenyuka umsi uphuma equleni apho, njengomsi weziko elikhulu, lamnyama ilanga nesibhakabhaka ngumsi wequla elo.

Saza esesithathu isithunywa sezulu sazilandela zona, sisithi ngezwi elikhulu, Ukuba umntu uyalinqula irhamncwa nomfanekiselo walo, amkele uphawu lwalo ebunzini lakhe, nokuba kusesandleni sakhe: yena wosela iwayini yomsindo kaThixo, egalelwe ingaphithikeziwe endebeni yengqumbo yakhe, athuthunjiswe ngomlilo nesulfure phambi kwezithunywa ezingcwele, naphambi kweMvana. Umsi wokuthuthunjelwa kwabo unyuka use emaphakadeni asemaphakadeni; abanakuphumla imini nobusuku abo banqula irhamncwa nomfanekiselo walo, nomntu ukuba uthi alwamkele uphawu lwegama lalo.

Irhamncwa elaye likho, elingekhoyo, lona lingowesibhozo okwangowabasixhenxe; umka aye entshabalalweni.

Sadanduluka ngamandla, ngezwi elikhulu, sisithi: Iwile, iwile iBhabheli enkulu, Yaba likhaya leedemon, nentolongo yoomoya bonke abangcolileyo, Nentolongo yeentaka zonke ezingcolileyo, ezithiyekileyo. Ngokuba zonke iintlanga zisele kuyo iwayini yomsindo wobuhenyu bayo, Nookumkani bomhlaba bahenyuza nayo, Nabarhwebi bomhlaba baba zizityebi, ngamandla okuxhamla kwabo iziyolo zayo.

Nokukhanya kwesibane akusayi kuba sakhanya kuwe; Nezwi lomyeni nelomtshakazi alisayi kuba saviwa kuwe; Ngokuba abarhwebi bakho bebengamanene omhlaba; Ngokuba zonke iintlanga zalahlekiswa kukukhafula kwakho. Kuwo kwafunyanwa igazi labaprofeti, nelabangcwele, Nelabo bonke abasikiweyo emhlabeni.

Ngokuba iyinyaniso, inobulungisa, imigwebo yayo; Ngokuba ihenyukazi elikhulu, elo laliwonakalisa umhlaba ngobuhenyu balo, iligwebile, Igazi labakhonzi bayo yaliphindezelela esandleni salo. Bathi okwesibini: Haleluya! Umsi walo unyuka use emaphakadeni asemaphakadeni.

Yena wayethiwe wambu ngengubo ethiwe nkxu egazini; igama lakhe kuthiwa nguLizwi likaThixo. Yaye imikhosi esemazulwini imlandela, ikumahashe amhlophe, bambethe ilinen ecikizekileyo, eqaqambileyo, emhlophe. Emlonyeni wakhe kuphuma ikrele elibukhali, ukuze azithi qwaka ngalo iintlanga. Yena uya kuzalusa ngentonga yentsimbi; yena unyathela isixovulelo sewayini yomsindo neyengqumbo kaThixo uSomandla.

Ndabona sithunywa sithile sasezulwini, simi elangeni; sadanduluka ngezwi elikhulu, sisithi kuzo zonke iintaka eziphaphazelayo esazulwini sezulu, Yizani nizihlanganisele esidlweni sikaThixo omkhulu; ukuze nidle inyama yookumkani, nenyama yabathetheli-waka, nenyama yamagorha, nenyama yamahashe, neyabakhweli bawo, nenyama yabo bonke abakhululekileyo nabangamakhoboka, neyabancinane neyabakhulu.

Labanjwa ke irhamncwa; kunye nalo kwabanjwa umprofeti obuxoki, lowo wayenzayo imiqondiso emehlweni alo, wabalahlekisa ngayo abo balwamkelayo uphawu lwerhamncwa, nabo baqubuda kuwo umfanekiselo walo; baphoswa behleli abo bobabini edikeni lomlilo elivutha isulfure. Abaseleyo babulawa ngekrele lalowo uhleli ehasheni, ikrele elo luphumayo emlonyeni wakhe; zathi zonke iintaka zahlutha yinyama yabo.

Ndabona isithunywa sezulu, sisihla siphuma emazulwini, sinesitshixo senzonzobila, nomxokelelwane omkhulu esandleni saso. Sayibamba inamba, loo nyoka yakudala enguMtyholi, uSathana ke, sayikhonkxa iminyaka eliwaka. Sayiphosa enzonzobileni, sayivalela, satywina ngaphezu kwayo, ukuze ingabi sazilahlekisa iintlanga, ide izaliseke iminyaka eliwaka; emva koko imelwe kukukhululwa ixeshana elincinane.

Xa ithe yazaliseka iminyaka eliwaka, uSathana wokhululwa entolongweni yakhe; aphume, aye kuzilahlekisa iintlanga ezisezimbombeni ezine zehlabathi, uGogi noMagogi, ukubahlanganisela emfazweni, abanani labo lingangentlabathi yaselwandle. Banyuka, baya kububanzi behlabathi, bayirhawula inqaba yomkhosi wabangcwele, nomzi othandiweyo; kwehla umlilo uvela kuThixo, uphuma ezulwini, wabadla wabagqiba. UMtyholi lowo ubalahlekisayo waphoswa edikeni lomlilo nesulfure, apho likhona irhamncwa nomprofeti obuxoki; baya kuthuthunjelwa imini nobusuku, kuse emaphakadeni asemaphakadeni.

Ndabona itrone emhlophe enkulu, nalowo uhleli phezu kwayo, owathi umhlaba nezulu wasaba ebusweni bakhe, azafunyanelwa ndawo ezo zinto. Ndababona abafileyo, abancinane nabakhulu, bemi phambi koThixo. Zavulwa iincwadi; kwavulwa nenye incwadi, eyeyobomi; bagwetywa abafileyo ngokubhaliweyo ezincwadini ezo, ngokwemisebenzi yabo. Lwathi ulwandle lwabakhupha abafileyo abakulo, kwathi ukufa nelabafileyo kwabakhupha abafileyo abakhona; bagwetywa elowo ngokwemisebenzi yakhe. Kwaza ukufa nelabafileyo kwaphoswa edikeni lomlilo. Oko kukufa kwesibini. Wathi ongafunyanwanga ebhaliwe encwadini yobomi, waphoswa edikeni lomlilo.

Ke wona amagwala, nabangakholwayo, nabangamasikizi, nababulali, nabenzi bombulo, nabakhafuli, nabakhonzi bezithixo, nawo onke amaxoki, isabelo sawo siya kuba sedikeni elivutha umlilo nesulfure. Oko kukufa kwesibini.

Lowo ungalungisiyo, makaselehlala engalungisi; lowo uyinyhukunyhuku, makaselehlala eyinyhukunyhuku; nolilungisa makaselehlala elungisa; nongcwele makaselehlala ezingcwalisile.

Kuba ndiyangqina kubantu bonke abawevayo amazwi esiprofeto sale ncwadi, ukuba, Xa athe umntu wongeza kwezo zinto, uThixo uya kongeza kuye izibetho ezibhaliweyo kule ncwadi; ukuba ke uthe umntu wasusa kuwo amazwi encwadi yesi siprofeto, uThixo uya kusisusa isabelo sakhe encwadini yobomi, nakuwo umzi ongcwele, nakuzo izinto ezibhaliweyo kule ncwadi.
