Ukulinganiswa kweTempile

Ukulinganisa kuyaqhuba ngaphakathi, ngebhotwe, iNgcwele kaNgcwele, namadidi amathathu amagumbi asemacaleni, iindonga zambethwe ngemithi zaqingqwa yonke indawo ngemithi yesundu nekherubhi enobuso obubini. Isibingelelo semithi simi phambi kwengcwele, esibizwa ngokuba sisithebe esiphambi koBawo wethu.

Isahluko 41.

Wandula wandisa ebhotweni, walinganisa imigubasi: yaziikubhite ezintlanu nesiqingatha ububanzi ngapha nangapha, bungangobubanzi bentente. Umnyango waziikubhite ezisibhozo nesiqingatha ububanzi, zinezindonga ezine nesiqingatha ngapha nangapha. Walinganisa ibhotwe: laziikubhite ezimashumi mathathu anantlanu ubude, neekubhite ezimashumi mathathu anantlanu ububanzi.

Wangena ngaphakathi, walinganisa imigubasi yomnyango: yaba ziikubhite ezintlanu nesiqingatha; umnyango: waziikubhite ezilishumi nesiqingatha; ububanzi bomnyango: baba ziikubhite ezilishumi elinambini neesithsaba. Wawulinganisa: waziikubhite ezimashumi mathathu anantlanu ubude, neekubhite ezimashumi mathathu anantlanu ububanzi, phambi kwebhotwe. Wathi kum: “Le yiNgcwele kaNgcwele.” ^a

Walinganisa udonga lwendlu: lwaziikubhite ezintlanu nesiqingatha ubukhulu, igumbi lecala ngalinye laziikubhite ezisixhenxe ububanzi, ngeenxa zonke zendlu. Amagumbi asemacaleni aba ngamadidi amathathu, elinye phezu kwelinye, amashumi mathathu udidi ngalinye. Kwakukho iingqameko ezijikeleze udonga lwendlu ukuwaxhasa amagumbi asemacaleni, ukuze angabambeleli eludongeni lwendlu ngokwalo. Amagumbi asemacaleni aya esanda ngokwamadidi njengoko enyuka, ngokuba isakhiwo esijikelezileyo sasisinyuka sijikeleze indlu; ngoko indlu yaya ibanzi ngasentla, kwenyuka ukusuka kudidi oluphantsi kuye phezulu kudlule koluphakathi.

Ndabona indlu inomgangatho ophakamileyo ojikelezileyo; iziseko zamagumbi asemacaleni zaziikubhite ezintlanu nesiqingatha. Udonga olungaphandle lwamagumbi asemacaleni lwaziikubhite ezisibhozo nesiqingatha ubukhulu; nesithuba esivulekileyo esiphakathi kwamagumbi asemacaleni endlu, namagumbi angaphandle saba ziikubhite ezimashumi mathathu anantlanu ububanzi, ngeenxa zonke zendlu macala onke. Iingcango zamagumbi asemacaleni zivulela kwisithuba esivulekileyo, olunye ucango lukhangele entla, olunye ezantsi. Isithuba esivulekileyo saziikubhite ezisibhozo nesiqingatha ububanzi ngeenxa zonke.

Isakhiwo esikhangele kwindawo eyahlukanisiweyo yetempile ngasentshonalanga saziikubhite ezilikhulu elinamashumi mabini anantlanu nesiqingatha ububanzi, udonga lwaso luziikubhite ezisibhozo nesiqingatha ubukhulu ngeenxa zonke, nobude baso buziikubhite ezilikhulu elinamashumi mahlanu anantlanu nesiqingatha.

Wandula walinganisa indlu: yaziikubhite ezilikhulu elinamashumi asixhenxe anantlanu ubude; nentendelezo, kunye nesakhiwo neendonga zaso, yaziikubhite ezilikhulu elinamashumi asixhenxe anantlanu ubude. Ububanzi bomphambili wendlu, kunye nentendelezo ngasempumalanga, baba ziikubhite ezilikhulu elinamashumi asixhenxe anantlanu.

Wandula walinganisa ubude besakhiwo esikhangele kwindawo ethintelweyo engasemva kwaso, neevaranda zaso ngapha nangapha—ziikubhite ezilikhulu elinamashumi asixhenxe anantlanu—kunye nebhotwe elingaphakathi neevaranda zentendelezo, imibundu, neefestile ezimxinwa, neevaranda ezijikeleze loo mathathu—zikhangele embundwini—zaziftheliwe ngemithi ngeenxa zonke, zithabathela emgangathweni zisa ezifestileni; neefestile zazisithelisiwe, zisa ngaphezu komnyango, zisa endlwini engaphakathi nangaphandle, nakuzo zonke iindonga ngeenxa zonke, ngaphakathi nangaphandle, ngokomlinganiso. Zazikrolwe iikerubhi namasundu, isundu phakathi kweekerubhi ezimbini, ubuso bubabini ekerubhini nganye: ubuso bomntu bubheke esundwini ngelinye icala, nobuso bethole lengonyama bubheke esundwini ngelinye icala; zazikrolwe endlwini yonke ngeenxa zonke. Ukusuka emgangathweni kuse ngaphezu komnyango, zazikrolwe iikerubhi namasundu, nasedongeni lebhotwe.

Imigubasi yebhotwe yayimbombo-ne, naphambi kweNgcwele kwakukho into eyayibonakala ngathi, isibingelelo somthi, esiziikubhite ezintlanu neesithsaba ukuphakama, nesiziikubhite ezintathu nesiqingatha ubude. Iimbombo zaso, nesiseko saso, namacala aso, zazizezomthi. Wathi kum: “Le yitafile ephambi koBawo wethu.” Ibhotwe neNgcwele, nganye yayinocango oluphindiweyo. Iingcango zazinamaphiko amabini, amaphiko amabini ajingayo—mabini kolunye ucango namabini kolunye. Iingcango zebhotwe zazinezikerubhi namasundu akrolwe kuzo, njengaloo akrolwe ezindongeni. Ngaphandle kwakukho uphahla lomthi phezu komphambili wevaranda yokungena. Iifestile ezimxinwa namasundu zazikho ngapha nangapha, ezindongeni zecala zevaranda yokungena, nasemagunjini asemacaleni endlu, nasezimphahleni.
