Isityhilelo 11 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

11 ¹Ndanikwa ingcongolo enjengolutya lokulinganisela, ndaza ndaxelelwa kwathiwa: “Vuka, uyilinganise itempile kaBawo wethu, nesibingelelo, nabo baqubuda apho. ²Uze uyishiye intendelezo engaphandle kwetempile; ungayilinganisi, kuba inikwe iintlanga, zaye ziya kuwunyathela umzi ongcwele iinyanga ezingamashumi mane anambini. ^a a v2 Iinyanga ezingamashumi mane anambini — njengemihla eliwaka elinamakhulu amabini anamashumi mathandathu, kunye ‘nexesha, namaxesha, nesiqingatha sexesha’ kwezinye iindawo kwiSityhilelo — sisithuba esingumfuziselo sovavanyo olunomda, olumiselweyo, asiyonani lekhalenda eliqingqiweyo. ³Ndiya kuwanika amandla amangqina am amabini, aza aya kuprofeta imihla iwaka elinamakhulu amabini anamashumi mathandathu, ethwele iingubo zesijwili.” ^b b v3 Imihla eliwaka elinamakhulu amabini anamashumi mathandathu sisithuba esinye neenyanga ezingamashumi mane anambini kwindinyana 2 — malunga neminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha.

⁴La yimithi yeminquma emibini, neziphatho zezibane ezimbini, ezimiyo phambi koBawo womhlaba. ⁵Ukuba kukho ofuna ukuwenzakalisa, kuphuma umlilo emlonyeni wawo, uzidle iintshaba zawo; nabani na ofuna ukuwenzakalisa umelwe kukubulawa ngolu hlobo. ⁶La anegunya lokuvala isibhakabhaka ukuze kungani mvula ngethuba aprofeta, nelokulawula amanzi ukuba awajike abe ligazi, nokubetha umhlaba ngazo zonke izibetho nanini na afuna ngako.

⁷Athi akugqiba ukungqina, irhamncwa elinyukayo esihogweni liya kulwa nawo, liwoyise, liwabulale. ⁸Imizimba yawo iya kulala esitratweni somzi omkhulu, obizwa ngokomfuziselo ngokuba yiSodom neYiputa, apho yabethelelwa khona neNkosi yawo—uYesu—emnqamlezweni. ⁹Inxenye yabo bonke abantu, nezizwe, neelwimi, neentlanga iya kuyijonga imizimba yawo iimini ezintathu nesiqingatha, ize iwale ukuyingcwaba. ¹⁰Abemi bomhlaba baya kugcoba ngenxa yawo, babe nemihlali, baze bathumelelane izipho, ngokuba aba baprofeti babini babawatshutshisa abemi bomhlaba.

¹¹Emveni kweemini ezintathu nesiqingatha, umoya wobomi ophuma kuBawo wethu wangena kuwo, ema ngeenyawo zawo, baza boyika kakhulu abo babewabukele.

¹²Eva ilizwi elikhulu elivela ezulwini lisithi kuwo: “Nyukani apha.” Enyuka esiya ezulwini ngelifu, zaza iintshaba zawo zawabukela.

¹³Ngelo lixa kwabakho unyikimo olukhulu; isishumi somzi sawa, kwabulawa abantu abangamawaka asixhenxe kuwo, baza abaseleyo, besoyika, banika uBawo wethu osezulwini uzuko.

¹⁴Yeha wesibini udlule; khangela, yeha wesithathu uyeza kungekudala.

Ubukumkani Buba BukaBawo Wethu

¹⁵Saza isithunywa sesixhenxe savuthela isigodlo saso, kwaza amazwi amakhulu ezulwini athi: “Ubukumkani behlabathi sebube bubukumkani bukaBawo wethu nobukaKrestu wakhe, yaye uya kulawula ngonaphakade kanaphakade.” ^c c v15 Isigodlo sesixhenxe sibhengeza ukuba ubukumkani behlabathi sebube bubukumkani obumanyeneyo bukaBawo wethu noThanjisiweyo wakhe — uYesu. UYise noNyana babelana ngetrone ngonaphakade (kuvakalisa iNdumiso 2 — uBawo wethu unika uNyana wakhe iintlanga).

¹⁶Amadoda amakhulu angamashumi amabini anamane, ahleli ezitroneni zawo phambi koBawo wethu, awa ngobuso bawo, aqubuda kuye, ¹⁷esithi: “Siyabulela kuwe, Bawo oyiNkosi uSomandla, wena ukho nowayekho, ngokuba uwathabathile amandla akho amakhulu waza waqala ukulawula. ¹⁸Iintlanga zavutha ngumsindo, kodwa ingqumbo yakho ifikile, nexesha lokuba abafileyo bagwetywe, nokunika umvuzo abakhonzi bakho abaprofeti nabangcwele nabo baloyikayo igama lakho, abancinane nabakhulu, nokutshabalalisa abo batshabalalisa umhlaba.”

¹⁹Yaza yavulwa itempile kaBawo wethu esezulwini, kwaza kwabonakala ityeya yomnqophiso wakhe ngaphakathi. Kwaza kwabakho imibane, nezandi, neendudumo, nonyikimo, nesichotho esinzima.
