UHabhakuki 2 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

2 ¹Ndiya kuma endaweni yam yokulinda, ndizimise phezu kongqameko; ndiya kuqwalasela ukuba ndibone oko aya kukuthetha kum, noko ndiya kukuphendula ngesikhalo sam.

²Waza uBawo wethu wandiphendula wathi: “Wubhale umbono; uwucacise emacwecweni, ukuze othe wawulesa abe nokugidima aye kubaxelela abanye.”

Onekratshi Nothembekileyo

³Kuba umbono usalindele ixesha lawo elimisiweyo; ukhawulezela esiphelweni, awuyi kuxoka. Nokuba uyazilazila, lindela wona; uya kufika ngokuqinisekileyo, awuyi kulibazisa. ⁴Khangela—indoda enekratshi ayilunganga entliziyweni—kodwa ilungisa liya kuphila ngokholo lwalo. ^a a v4 UPawulos uyicaphula le ndinyana kathathu ukuseka iindaba ezilungileyo — kumaRoma 1:17, kwabaseGalati 3:11, kumaHebhere 10:38. Ilungisa eliphila ngokholo ngulowo uthembela kwisithembiso sikaBawo wethu nokuba umbono uyalibala. ⁵Ngaphezu koko, iwayini inenkohliso; indoda enekratshi ayiyi kuphumla. Ibawa njengelabafileyo, kwaye njengokufa ayihluthi; ihlanganisela kuyo zonke iintlanga, iqokelele kuyo zonke izizwe zibe zezakhe.

⁶Abangekhe na bonke aba basusele ngentsini ngaye, ngeentsonkotha zentlekisa, besithi: “Yeha kulowo ufumba oko kungekokwakhe—koda kube nini na?—azithwalise ngempahla ethathwe isibambiso!” ⁷Abangekhe na abo ubatyalayo basuke ngebhaqo, baphaphame abo bakwenza ugungqe? Uya kwandula ube ngamaxhoba kubo. ⁸Ngenxa yokuba uphange iintlanga ezininzi, onke amasalela ezizwe aya kukuphanga wena—ngenxa yegazi labantu nogonyamelo olwenziwe emhlabeni, emizini nakubo bonke abahleli kuyo. ⁹Yeha kulowo uzalisa indlu yakhe ngongeniselo olubi, obeke indlu yakhe phezulu ukuze asinde esandleni sentlekele! ¹⁰Ucamangele indlu yakho ihlazo ngokunqumla izizwe ezininzi; uwonile umphefumlo wakho. ¹¹Kuba ilitye liya kukhala lisuke eludongeni, nomvalo uya kuliphendula usuka emithini. ¹²Yeha kulowo wakha umzi ngegazi, aseke idolophu ngentswela-bulungisa! ¹³Akuveli na kuBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini ukuba izizwe zisebenzele umlilo kuphela, iintlanga zizidinise ngelize? ¹⁴Kuba ihlabathi liya kuzaliswa kukwazi ubuqaqawuli bukaBawo wethu, njengokuba amanzi egubungela ulwandle. ¹⁵Yeha kulowo useza abamelwane bakhe—ethulula ingqumbo yakho bade banxile—ukuze akhangele ubuze babo! ¹⁶Uya kuzaliswa lihlazo endaweni yobuqaqawuli. Sela, nawe ngokwakho, uze untenge! Indebe esesandleni sokunene sikaBawo wethu iya kujikela kuwe, isingcikivo sibugubungele ubuqaqawuli bakho. ¹⁷Kuba ugonyamelo olwenziwe eLebhanon luya kukugubungela wena, nokutshatyalaliswa kwamarhamncwa ayo kuya kukoyikisa wena—ngenxa yegazi labantu nogonyamelo olwenziwe emhlabeni, emizini nakubo bonke abahleli kuyo. ¹⁸Unceda ntoni na umfanekiso oqingqiweyo, xa umenzi wawo ewuqingqile — umfanekiso otyhidiweyo, umfundisi wobuxoki? Kuba umenzi wawo ukholose ngomsebenzi wesandla sakhe, xa esenza izithixo ezililize ezingenakuthetha. ¹⁹Yeha, lowo othi kwiqhekeza lomthi: “Vuka!” nalowo othi elityeni elithe cwaka: “Phakama!” Linokufundisa na? Khangela — lalekwe ngegolide nangesilivere, kanti akukho moya kwaphela ngaphakathi kwalo. ²⁰Kodwa uBawo wethu usetempileni yakhe engcwele; wonke umhlaba mawuthi cwaka phambi kwakhe.
