Isixwayiso ngokukhonza izithixo

1“ ‘Ningenzi izithombe, ningamisi izithombe ezibaziweyo noma insika; ningabeki itshe elinemifanekiso ezweni lakini ukukhothamela kulo; ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

2“ ‘Anogcina amasabatha ami, nihloniphe indlu yami engcwele; nginguJehova.

Izithembiso kwabagcina umthetho

3“ ‘Uma nihamba ngezimiso zami, nigcine imiyalo yami, niyenze, 4ngiyakuninika imvula ngesikhathi sayo, izwe lithele ukudla kwalo, imithi yasendle ithele izithelo zayo. 5Ukubhula kwenu kuyakufinyelela ekuvunweni kwemivini, ukuvunwa kwemivini kuyakufinyelela esikhathini sokulima; niyakudla isinkwa senu, nisuthe, nihlale ezweni lakini nilondekile.

6“ ‘Ngiyakunika ukuthula ezweni, nilale phansi ningesatshiswa muntu; ngiyakuqothula izilwane ezimbi ezweni, nenkemba ayiyikudabula ezweni lakini. 7Niyakuxosha izitha zenu, ziwe phambi kwenu ngenkemba. 8Abayisihlanu kini bayakuxosha abayikhulu, nabayikhulu kini bayakuxosha izinkulungwane eziyishumi, izitha zenu ziwe phambi kwenu ngenkemba.

9“ ‘Ngiyakuninaka, nginenze ukuba nizale, nande, ngimise isivumelwano sami nani. 10Niyakudla unyasa omdala, nikhiphe unyasa ngenxa yokusha. 11Ngiyakubeka itabernakele* lami phakathi kwenu, umphefumulo wami awuyikunengwa yinina. 12Ngiyakuhamba phakathi kwenu, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu, nibe ngabantu bami. 13NginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu owanikhipha ezweni laseGibithe ukuba ningabi yizigqila zabo; ngaphulile izikeyi* zejoka lenu, ngenza ukuba nihambe niluleme.

ULevitikusi 26:1-13ZUL59NOVula kumfundi weBhayibheli

I am the Lord your God that brought you out of Egypt… I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads up high. Are we caught up in our own problems and pain that we fail to look to God. Being self-absorbed causes us to miss out on so much of what God wants to give us, don’t you think? For some, it takes years to change attitudes and outlooks on life. Let us receive what God has already given us, lift our heads up high, and receive all God’s blessings, and then show others how it is also possible for others to walk and talk, with heads up high.
