Um(Imi)bhalo weBhayibheli

UJeremiya 17

5Usho kanje uJehova, uthi:

“Uqalekisiwe umuntu othemba kubantu,

ayenze inyama ibe yingalo yakhe,

nonhliziyo yakhe isuka kuJehova.

6Uyakuba njengesihlahla esiyize ehlane,

angaboni ukuthi kuyeza okuhle,

uyakuhlala ezindaweni ezishileyo ehlane,

ezweni likasawoti elingahlalwa muntu.

7“Ubusisiwe umuntu othemba kuJehova,

nothemba lakhe linguJehova.

8Ngokuba uyakuba njengomuthi otshalwe ngasemanzini,

ozenabisa izimpande zawo ngasemfuleni,

ongesabi lapho kufika ukushisa,

amaqabunga awo abe luhlaza,

angabi naluvalo ngomnyaka wesigagadu,

anganqamuki ukuthela izithelo.”

9Inhliziyo iyakhohlisa ngaphezu kwakho konke,

futhi imbi;

ngubani ongayazi na?

10“Mina Jehova ngivivinya inhliziyo,

ngihlola izinso ukuba nginike,

kube yilowo nalowo

njengezindlela zakhe,

njengezithelo zezenzo zakhe.”

11Intendele efukamela ingazalanga,

unjalo owenza ingcebo ngokungalungi;

iyakumshiya phakathi nezinsuku zakhe,

abe yisiwula ngasekugcineni.

12Indawo yendlu yethu engcwele

iyisihlalo sobukhosi esinenkazimulo

esiphakemeyo.

13O, themba lika-Israyeli, Jehova,

bonke abakushiyayo bayakujabha;

abachezuka kimi bayakulotshwa

emhlabathini,

ngokuba bamshiyile uJehova,

umthombo wamanzi aphilayo.

14Ngiphulukise, Jehova, ngiphuluke;

ngisindise, ngisindiswe,

ngokuba uludumo lwami.

UJeremiya 17:5-14ZUL59NOVula kumfundi weBhayibheli

Blessed is the One who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in the Lord. Such persons will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit. The tree endures all manner of hardships. Let us be able to trust like the tree. Do not let the world and it’s brief glory, distract you from being like the tree, filled with trust in what God offers us that we may be rooted and stand with God in all weather in which we find ourselves. Blessed is the One, who trusts in God’s creative ways of bringing faith into our lives in all circumstances.
