AMAHEBHERU 5
1Ngiloyo naloyo umphristi omkhulu okhethwe hlangana nabantu ubekelwe bona abajamele kuZimu, ukunikela iminikelo nemihlabelo yezono. 2Uyakwazi ukunyamezelela ngesisa labo abanganalwazi nabaphambukako njengombana naye ngokwakhe uyabazi ubuthakathaka; 3kungalokho kufanele bona anikele umhlabelo ngenca yezono zakhe nangenca yezono zabantu. 4Akakho ozikhethela ukuba sesikhundlenesi, kodwana uba kiso ngokubizwa nguZimu njengo-Aroni.
5Ngokunjalo noKrestu azange azinikele idumo ngokuba muphristi omkhulu kodwana waphakanyiswa ngiloyo owathi kuye:
“Wena uyiNdodanami,
namhlanje ngikubelethile,”
6njengombana atjho kwenye indawo wathi:
“Wena umphristi ngokungapheliko
ngokwendlela yakaMalkitsedekhi.”
7Ngesikhathi uJesu asesephasinapha bephele enze imithandazo nokubawela abanye ngesililo esikhulu nangeenyembezi kiloyo ogade anamandla wokumsindisa ekufeni. Begodu bekalalelwa ngombana bekazinikela ngokuzithoba. 8Sengitjho nanyana bekayiNdodana, wafunda ukulalela ngalokho ahlupheka ngakho 9begodu nalapho sele aphelelisiwe, waba mthombo wesindiso wabo boke abamlalelako, 10bewabekwa nguZimu bona abe mphristi omkhulu ngokwendlela yakaMalkitsedekhi.
Ukuyelelisa ngokuhlubuka ekukholweni
11Kusesenokunengi esingakutjho mayelana nalokhu, kodwana kulikhuni ukunihlathululela ngombana nithathela kude ukuzwa. 12Nanyana ngesikhathesi bekufanele ngathana senibafundisi, kodwana nisadinga omunye ozokubuya anifundise godu, anitatayise anithomise phasi kancani eemfundisweni zelizwi lakaZimu. Nisadinga ibisi kunokudla okuqinileko. 13Loyo omunyako usuka asesemntwana, nje-ke akakalemuki ilizwi lokulunga. 14Kodwana ukudla okuqinileko kungokwabakhulileko, asebajayele ukusebenzisa umkhumbulwabo, iye, labo asebanakho ukuhlukanisa okuhle nokumbi.
