Gxilisani Amehlo Enu kuJesu
UMose wayethembekile endlini kaBaba wethu; uJesu wayakha. Kusukela lapho umbhali ucaphuna isizukulwane sasehlane esezwa izwi kodwa senza lukhuni noma kunjalo, bese ekusebenzisa ngokuqondile: khuthazanani nsuku zonke, kusathiwa namuhla, ukuze kungabi namuntu owenziwa lukhuni ngenkohliso yesono.
3 1Ngakho-ke, bazalwane abangcwele enihlanganyela ekubizweni kwasezulwini, cabangani ngoJesu, umphostoli nompristi omkhulu esimvumayo. 2Wayethembekile kulowo owambeka, njengoba noMose naye wayethembekile endlini yonke kaBaba wethu. 3UJesu ufanelwe inkazimulo enkulu kakhulu kunoMose, njengoba umakhi wendlu efanelwe udumo olukhulu kunendlu ngokwayo. 4Ngokuba yonke indlu yakhiwa ngumuntu othile, kodwa umakhi wezinto zonke nguBaba wethu. 5UMose wayethembekile endlini yonke kaBaba wethu, eyinceku efakaza ngalokho okwakuyokhulunywa kamuva. 6Kodwa uKhristu, njengendodana, uthembekile phezu kwendlu yakhe. Thina siyindlu yakhe—uma sibambelela siqinile ekuzethembeni nasethembeni esiziqhenya ngalo.
7Ngakho-ke, njengoba uMoya oNgcwele usho ukuthi: “Namuhla, uma nizwa izwi lakhe, a a v7 Incwadi yamaHebheru iphatha imiBhalo njengezwi eliphilayo likaMoya oNgcwele — uMoya ofanayo owakhuluma ngabaphrofethi manje ukhuluma kithi namuhla, usibizela ekuphumuleni kukaBaba wethu. 8ningazenzi lukhuni izinhliziyo zenu njengoba nenza ekuvukeleni, ngosuku lokulingwa ehlane, 9lapho okhokho benu bangilinga khona, babona nemisebenzi yami iminyaka engamashumi amane. 10Yingakho ngasithukuthelela leso sizukulwane, ngathi, ‘Izinhliziyo zabo zihlala ziduka, futhi abazazi izindlela zami.’ 11Ngakho ngafunga entukuthelweni yami, ‘Abasoze bangena ekuphumuleni kwami.’”
12Bazalwane, qaphelani ukuba kungabikho noyedwa kini onenhliziyo embi, engakholwa, efulathela uBaba ophilayo. 13Kodwa khuthazanani nsuku zonke, lisekhona elibizwa ngokuthi “namuhla,” ukuze kungabikho noyedwa kini owenziwa lukhuni yinkohliso yesono. 14Ngokuba sesibe ngabahlanganyeli kuKhristu, uma sigcina ngempela ukuzethemba kwethu kokuqala kuqinile kuze kube sekupheleni. 15Njengoba kushiwo ukuthi: “Namuhla, uma nizwa izwi lakhe, ningazenzi lukhuni izinhliziyo zenu njengoba navukela.”
16Obani abezwa bavukela? Akubona yini bonke abaphuma eGibhithe ngoMose? 17Wathukuthelela bani iminyaka engamashumi amane? Akubona yini labo abona, okwawela izidumbu zabo ehlane? 18Obani afunga ngabo ukuthi abasoze bangena ekuphumuleni kwakhe, ngaphandle kwalabo abangalalelanga? 19Ngakho siyabona ukuthi babengakwazi ukungena ngenxa yokuntuleka kokukholwa.
