WEEK 4 – Constantly in the Bible
11Wathi ke kum: “Mntundini, la mathambo yindlu kaSirayeli iphela. Ithi: ‘Amathambo ethu omile; ithemba lethu lidakile; kuphelile kuthi.’ 12Ke shumayela uthi kuyo: ‘Itsho iNgangalala uNdikhoyo ukuthi: Bantu bam, ndiza kuwavula amangcwaba enu, ndize ndinikhuphe kuwo. Ndiza kunibuyisela ezweni lakwaSirayeli. 13Niya kuqonda ke nina, bantu bam, ukuba ndinguNdikhoyo, xa ndiwavula amangcwaba enu, ndinikhupha kuwo. 14Ndiya kufaka uMoya wam kuni, ukuze niphile, ndize ndinibeke ezweni lenu. Niya kuqonda ukuba mna Ndikhoyo ndithethile ndenza, utsho uNdikhoyo.’ ”
1Ukukholwa ke kukuqiniseka ngezinto esinethemba lazo; kukwakukuqiniseka nangobukho bezinto esingaziboniyo. 2Abantu bamandulo bagqwesa ngenxa yokuthembela kwabo kuThixo.

5Ngokholo uInoki wathwetyulwa engakhange afe. *IziBhalo zithi: “Akazange aziwe bani apho akhoyo, kuba wayethathwe nguThixo.” Futhi ziyangqina iziBhalo ukuba uInoki wamkholisa uThixo ngaphambi kokuba athathwe. 6Lungekho ke ukholo akukho ukumkholisa uThixo. Kaloku wonke ubani ozayo kuye kufuneka akholwe ukuba ukho uThixo, yaye uyabavuza abo bamlangazelelayo.
