Isiyeleliso
1Nje-ke kufuze siyelele khulu ngalokho esikuzwileko ukuze singatjhidi kikho. 2Nakube ilizwi elakhulunywa ngeengilozi laqiniseka nokobana esinye nesinye isiphambeko nokungalaleli kwamukela isibetho esifaneleko, 3alo, thina sizakuphunyurha njani nasithembela isindiso ekulu kangaka na? Iye, isindiso eyathoma yamenyezelwa yiKosi, yaqiniswa kithi ngilabo abayizwako. 4NoSomnini wafakazela isindiso leyo ngamatshwayo, ngeemangaliso nangemikarisomraro ehlukahlukeneko kanye nangezipho zakaMoya oCwengileko ezabiwe ngokwentando yakhe.
Loyo okwavela ngaye isindiso
5UZimu azange abeke iphasi elizako nesikhuluma ngalo leli eengilozini. 6Kodwana omunye ufakazile endaweni ethileko wathi:
“Uyini-ke obhubhako
bona ungabe umkhumbule,
bekayini wephasi bona
ungabe umbeke abe mphathi na?
7Mbala umenze waba
ngaphasana kweendalwa zezulu,
wamthwesa ukuhlonitjhwa nobukhosi!
8Wamenza waba mphathi
womsebenzi wezandla zakho;
wabeka koke ngaphasi kweenyawo zakhe.”
Nje-ke ngokubeka koke ngaphasi komuntu, kutjho bona uZimu wanikela koke ngaphasi kwelawulo lomuntu. Nokho okwanje, asikaboni koke kungaphasi kwelawulo lomuntu. 9Kodwana siyambona uJesu owenziwa waba mncani kuneengilozi kwesikhatjhana; njenganje sele athweswe isihlohlo esinephazimulo nedumo ngebanga lokubandezeleka kwakhe ngokufa.
10Koke kukhona ngoZimu begodu kungokwakhe. Nje-ke lokha nakaqunta ukurholela inengi labantwana bakhe ephazimulwenakhe kwafaneleka bona enze umsindisi wabo abe ngopheleleko ngokuhlupheka. 11Iye, ngombana loyo ocwengisako nalabo abacwengiswako bamndeni munye. Kungesizathweso uJesu angananhloni zokubabiza bonyana bafowabo, 12asithi:
“Nje-ke ngizakumemezela ibizo lakho kubafowethu,
ngikudumise phakathi kwebandla lamakholwa.”
13Godu uthi:
“Ngizokuthembela njalo kuZimu.”
Abuye athi:
“Nakhu lapha ngikhona
nabantwana engabaphiwa nguZimu.”
14Njengombana abantwana bahlanganyela inyama neengazi, naye ngokwakhe wahlanganyela khona lokho ukuze kuthi ngokufa kwakhe amchithe loyo ogade anamandla wokufa, okutjho uSathana. 15Wenza lokho bona athukulule boke labo abathi ngesikhathi soke sokuphila kwabo babotjhelelwa ebukhobokeni ngebanga lokwesaba ukufa. 16Kwamambala kuyakhanya bonyana akakezi ukuzokusiza iingilozi, kodwana iinzukulwana zaka-Abrahamu. 17Nje-ke kwamfanela ukuba njengabafowabo kikho koke, khona azakuba mphristi omkhulu onesirhawu nothembekileko emsebenzini kaZimu, abe yihlawulo yokubuyisana kwezono zabantu. 18Njengombana naye ngokwakhe wazizinywa ngalokho ahlupheka ngakho, yeke unamandla wokusiza labo abazizinywako.
