Musa Ukukhukhuleka
Njengoba izwe elizayo lingaphathiswanga izingelosi kodwa abantu, futhi njengoba abantwana behlanganyela inyama negazi, iNdodana nayo yathatha inyama, ukuze yephule amandla okufa futhi ikhulule labo ababeyizithunjwa impilo yabo yonke ngokwesaba ukufa. Njengoba yona ngokwayo yavivinywa, iyabasiza abavivinywayo.
2 1Ngakho-ke kufanele sinake kakhudlwana lokho esikuzwile, funa sikhukhuleke. 2Ngokuba uma izwi elakhulunywa ngezingelosi laqina, futhi konke ukona nokungalaleli kwathola umvuzo ofanele, 3siyakuphunyuka kanjani uma singayinaki insindiso enkulu kangaka? Yona yamenyezelwa kuqala yiNkosi, yase iqinisekiswa kithi yilabo abamuzwa, 4kuthi uBaba wethu naye wafakaza kanye nabo ngezibonakaliso, ngezimangaliso, ngemisebenzi yamandla ehlukahlukene, nangokwabiwa kukaMoya oNgcwele, ngokwentando yakhe.
Izwe Elizayo
5Ngokuba akuzona izingelosi uBaba wethu abeka ngaphansi kwazo izwe elizayo esikhuluma ngalo. 6Othile ufakazile ndawana thize, wathi: “Uyini umuntu, ukuba umkhumbule, noma indodana yomuntu, ukuba uyinakekele? 7Wamenza okwesikhashana waba phansi kwezingelosi; wamuthwesa umqhele wenkazimulo nodumo, 8wabeka konke ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe.” Kepha ekubekeni kwakhe konke ngaphansi kwakhe, uBaba wethu akazange ashiye lutho lungaphandle kokubusa kwakhe. Kodwa okwamanje asikakuboni konke kubekwe ngaphansi kukaKhristu.
9Kodwa siyambona uJesu, owenziwa waba phansi kwezingelosi okwesikhashana, manje osethwese umqhele wenkazimulo nodumo ngenxa yokuba wahlupheka ekufeni, ukuze ngomusa kaBaba wethu ezwe ukufa ngenxa yawo wonke umuntu.
10Kwakufanele ukuba uBaba wethu, okungenxa yakhe nangaye konke okukhona, aphelelise umsunguli wensindiso yabo ngokuhlupheka, eletha amadodana amaningi enkazimulweni. 11Lowo ongcwelisayo kanye nalabo abangcwelisiwe, bonke bavela kuBaba munye. Yingakho engenamahloni okubabiza ngokuthi abazalwane, a a v11 Labo uJesu abangcwelisayo babelana ngoYise — babuyiselwa emndenini munye angowawo kuze kube phakade. Akanamahloni okubabiza ngokuthi abazalwane bakhe.
12ethi: “Ngiyakulimemezela igama lakho kubazalwane bami; ngiyakuhlabelela indumiso yakho phakathi kwebandla.”
13Futhi, ethi: “Ngiyakwethemba kuye.” Futhi, ethi: “Nangu mina, nabantwana uBaba wethu anginika bona.” b b v13 UJesu ukhuluma la mazwi aphuma esiprofethweni sika-Isaya, ezethula kanye nabantwana uBaba wethu amphathise bona — umndeni munye, uBaba munye.
14Njengoba abantwana behlanganyela inyama negazi, naye wakuhlanganyela lokho, ukuze ngokufa achithe lowo ophethe amandla okufa—usathane, 15akhulule bonke labo, ngenxa yokwesaba ukufa, ababegqilaziwe impilo yabo yonke. 16Ngokuba ngempela akusizo izingelosi azisizayo, kodwa yinzalo ka-Abhrahama. 17Ngakho kwakufanele afane nabazalwane bakhe ngazo zonke izindlela, ukuze abe ngumpristi omkhulu onesihawu nothembekileyo ekukhonzeni uBaba wethu, esusa izono zabantu. 18Njengoba yena uqobo wahlupheka ekulingweni, angabasiza labo abalingwayo.
