Eyeziqalo 6 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

6 ¹Kwathi xa uluntu luqalisa ukwanda emhlabeni, kwazalwa iintombi kubo, ²oonyana bemvelaphi yobuthixo babona ukuba iintombi zemvelaphi yobuntu zazintle, bazithabathela abafazi kuzo zonke abazikhethayo. ^a a v2 Le vesi idibanisa iindidi ezimbini zezidalwa—ezo zemvelaphi yobuthixo nezo zemvelaphi yobuntu—ize ichaze umda owelwayo phakathi kwazo. Abafundi abangamaKrestu baye baziqonda izidalwa zemvelaphi yobuthixo njengezidalwa zasezulwini okanye njengomnombo ongcwele kaSeti; zombini iingcamango zixhomekeke kwinto enye le vesi iyithethayo ngemvelaphi.

³Waza uBawo wethu wathi: “UMoya wam awuyi kuzamana noluntu ngonaphakade, kuba luyinyama; imihla yabo iya kuba yiminyaka elikhulu elinamashumi amabini.”

⁴AmaNefili ayesemhlabeni ngaloo mihla, nasemva koko, xa oonyana bemvelaphi yobuthixo beza kwiintombi zemvelaphi yobuntu, zaza zabazalela abantwana. Aba yayingamadoda anamandla amandulo, amadoda adumileyo. ^b b v4 Ukudityaniswa kwevesi yesi-2 kuyaqhubeka apha—izidalwa zemvelaphi yobuthixo zimanyana nezidalwa zemvelaphi yobuntu—umanyano apho kwaphuma khona amaNefili. Le vesi igcina ingqwalaselo yayo kuloo mda phakathi kweendidi ezimbini.

⁵UBawo wethu wabona ukuba yayinkulu kangakanani inkohlakalo yoluntu emhlabeni—zonke iingcinga neminqweno yeentliziyo zabo zazibububi bodwa ngamaxesha onke. ⁶Waziva ebuhlungu kuba edale uluntu emhlabeni, yaza intliziyo yakhe yazala yintlungu. ^c c v6 Intliziyo kaBawo wethu iyaphuka xa abantwana bakhe bemfulathela. Esi sisihlandlo sokuqala apho isibhalo sibonisa uBawo wethu ekuba buhlungu—kungekuko umgwebo ongenamdla, kodwa uBawo onentliziyo ebuhlungu ngenxa yabantwana bakhe abalahlekileyo.

⁷Ngoko uBawo wethu wathi: “Ndiya kulutshayela uluntu, endaludalayo, ebusweni bomhlaba—abantu, izilwanyana, izinambuzane, neentaka zesibhakabhaka—kuba ndiyazisola ngokuba ndabenza.”

⁸Kodwa uNowa wafumana ubabalo emehlweni kaBawo wethu.

⁹Yiyo le imbali kaNowa. UNowa wayeyindoda elungileyo, engenasiphako phakathi kwabantu bexesha lakhe, waza uNowa wahamba ngokuthembeka noBawo wethu.

uShem, uHam, noYafete

¹⁰UNowa wayenoonyana abathathu: uShem, uHam, noYafete. ¹¹Umhlaba wawonakele phambi koBawo wethu, uzele lugonyamelo. ¹²UBawo wethu wabona ukuba umhlaba wonakele, kuba yonke inyama yayizonakalisile iindlela zayo emhlabeni.

¹³Waza uBawo wethu wathi kuNowa: “Isiphelo senyama yonke sifikile phambi kwam, kuba umhlaba uzele lugonyamelo ngenxa yabantu. Ndiza kubatshabalalisa kunye nomhlaba. ¹⁴Zakhele umkhombe ngomthi womsipres; wenze amagumbi kuwo, uwunameke ngaphakathi nangaphandle ngetela. ^d d v14 Itela yayiyinto ethe nyiki, efana nerhasi, eyayutyatyekwa phezu komthi ukuze kuvalwe umkhombe, uthintele amanzi angangeni. ¹⁵Wenze ngolu hlobo: umkhombe ube bude obumalunga neenyawo ezingamakhulu amane anamashumi amahlanu, ububanzi buziinyawo ezingamashumi asixhenxe anesihlanu, ukuphakama kuziinyawo ezingamashumi amane anesihlanu. ¹⁶Wenzele umkhombe uphahla, uluphelelise kwiintshi ezilishumi elinesibhozo ukusuka phezulu. Ufake ucango ecaleni lawo, uwakhe nezigangatho zezantsi, zaphakathi, nezaphezulu. ¹⁷Mna ngokwam ndiza kuzisa amanzi kanogumbe emhlabeni ukuze nditshabalalise yonke inyama enomphefumlo wobomi kuyo phantsi kwamazulu; konke okusemhlabeni kuya kufa. ¹⁸Kodwa ndiya kumisa umnqophiso wam nawe, uze ungene emkhombeni—wena, noonyana bakho, nomfazi wakho, nabafazi boonyana bakho kunye nawe. ¹⁹Ngenisa ababini kwizidalwa zonke eziphilayo emkhombeni ukuze uzigcine ziphila kunye nawe—eyiduna neyimazi. ²⁰Kwiintaka ngohlobo lwazo, izilwanyana ngohlobo lwazo, zonke izinambuzane zomhlaba ngohlobo lwazo, ababini kuzo bonke baya kuza kuwe ukuze bagcinwe bephila. ²¹Thabatha zonke iintlobo zokutya okunokudliwa, ukubuthelele; kuya kuba kukutya kwakho nokwabo.”

²²UNowa wenza konke kanye njengoko uBawo wethu wayemyalele.
