KumaHebheru 5
1Lowo nalowo mPhristi Lomkhulu ukhetfwa emkhatsini webantfu amiselwe kumela bantfu kuNkulunkulu, kuze anikele tipho nemihlatjelo ngenca yetono. 2Lowo-ke angababeketelela labo labangati lutfo nalaba labedukako, ngobe kwayena unebutsakatsaka. 3Ngenca yalobo butsakatsaka bakhe, naye kudzingekile kutsi ente iminikelo yetono takhe, njengobe abentela labanye bantfu. 4Kute umuntfu lotitsatsela lesikhundla ngaphandle kwekutsi abitwe nguNkulunkulu, njengobe na-Aroni abitwa.
5Ngako-ke naKhristu akatitsatselanga lesikhundla sekuba ngumPhristi Lomkhulu; kodvwa wamiswa nguNkulunkulu lowatsi kuye:
“Wena uyiNdvodzana yami;
lamuhla ngikutele.”
6Uphindze atsi kulenye indzawo:
“Wena ungumphristi loyawuhlala akhona
kuze kube phakadze,
ngekuma kwaMelkhisedeki.”
7Asesemhlabeni, Jesu wanikela ngekuthandaza, nangekuncusa, nangekukhala lokukhulu, nangetinyembeti, akhala kulowo lonemandla ekumsindzisa ekufeni, wevakala ngenca yekumesaba Nkulunkulu. 8Nome abeyiNdvodzana, wafundza kulalela ngekuhlupheka kwakhe, 9kwase kutsi ngekupheleliswa kwakhe waba ngumtfombo wensindziso yaphakadze yabo bonkhe labo labamlalelako, 10Nkulunkulu asammise kutsi abe ngumPhristi Lomkhulu ngekuma kwaMelkhisedeki.
Secwayiso ngekuhlubuka
11Mayelana naloku kunyenti lesingakusho, kodvwa kulukhuni kunichazela, ngobe naku senaba butfuntfu ekuveni.
12Bekufanele kutsi ngabe senibafundzisi nyalo, kodvwa nisadzinga lotanifundzisa, nicalele phansi etinyatselweni tekucala temfundziso yelivi laNkulunkulu. Solo nidzinga lubisi, hhayi kudla lokucinile. 13Ngobe lowo losaphila ngelubisi usengakakhuli evini lekulunga; useluswane.
14Kudla lokucinile kwebantfu lasebakhulile, lasebanemicondvo lehlutekile, leseyikwati kwehlukanisa lokuhle nalokubi.
