Imbambano Ezalwa Kukunqwenela

Iimfazwe zivela kwiminqweno elwayo ngaphakathi; ababinakho ngokuba abaceli, baze bacele kakubi xa becela. Ubuhlobo nehlabathi bubutshaba kuBawo wethu, kodwa yena unika ubabalo olungakumbi. Sondelani kuye, niyeke ukucwangcisa ngengomso ngokungathi ubomi abuyonkungu.

Zivela phi na iimfazwe nokulwa phakathi kwenu? Akuyiyo na iminqweno yenu elwayo ngaphakathi kuni? Nifuna ningabi nako—niyabulala. Niyanqwenela ningenako ukukufumana—niyaxabana nilwe. Aninako kuba aniceli. Niyacela ningamkeli, kuba niyacela kakubi, ukuze nikuchithe kwiziyolo zenu. Nina bakrexezi! Anazi na ukuba ubuhlobo nehlabathi bubutshaba kuBawo wethu? Nabani na okhetha ukuba ngumhlobo walo uba lutshaba lukaBawo wethu. Okanye isibhalo sithetha ngelize na, sisithi umoya awubekayo ngaphakathi kuthi unqwenela ngekhwele? Kodwa yena unika ubabalo olungakumbi. Kungenxa yoko isibhalo sisithi: “UBawo wethu uyabachasa abanekratshi, kodwa abalulamileyo abanike ubabalo.”

Zithobeni ngoko kuBawo wethu. Mchaseni umtyholi, waye eya kunibaleka. Sondelani kuBawo wethu, waye eya kusondela kuni. Hlambani izandla zenu, boni; nihlambulule iintliziyo zenu, bambaxa. Kubani buhlungu, nenze isijwili, nilile. Jikani ukuhleka kwenu kube sisijwili, novuyo lwenu lube sisithokothoko. Zithobeni phambi koBawo wethu, waye eya kuniphakamisa.

Musani ukuthetha kakubi omnye ngomnye, bazalwana. Lowo uthetha kakubi ngomzalwana wakhe, okanye amgwebe, uthetha kakubi ngomthetho awugwebe. Ke ukuba uyawugweba umthetho, awuwugcini—uba ngumgwebi wawo. Mnye kuphela onika umthetho nogwebayo—onako ukusindisa nokonakalisa. Ungubani wena ukuba ugwebe ummelwane wakho?

Musani Ukuqhayisa Ngomso

Yizani ngoku, nina bathi: “Namhla okanye ngomso siya kuya kulo mzi okanye kulowo, sichithe umnyaka, sirhwebe, size sizuze inzuzo.” Anikwazi okuziswa ngomso. Buyintoni na ubomi benu? Kuba niyinkungu, ebonakala umzuzwana, iphinde inyamalale. Endaweni yoko nimelwe kukuthi: “Ukuba uBawo wethu uyathanda, siya kudla ubomi senze oku okanye okuya.” Njengoko kunjalo, niqhayisa ngekratshi lenu. Konke ukuqhayisa okunjalo kubi. Ngoko lowo okwaziyo okulungileyo umelwe kukwenza, aze angakwenzi, sisono kuye.
