Bible Reading Plan – Day 286

₁₃Ukuba bakho abantu abalumkileyo nabaqondayo phakathi kwenu, loo nto mabayibonakalise ngobomi obumsulwa, nangezenzo zentobeko nobulumko. ₁₄Kodwa ke ukuba ninomona nolunya nizicingela, sanukuzigwagwisa nigqume inyaniso ngobuxoki. ₁₅Obu bulumko abuveli phezulu, koko bobehlabathi, bobeenkanuko, bobukaSathana. ₁₆Ke apho kukho umona nokuzigwagwisa kuba nguqulukubhode nazo zonke iintlobo zeentlondi. ₁₇Kodwa ke bona ubulumko obuvela phezulu bumsulwa; bunolungelelwano, nobubele, buyazelelela. Bona bunovelwano, yaye buvelisa imisebenzi emihle; abunamkhethe naluhanahaniso. ₁₈Ke bona abahlwayeli boxolo abaseluxolweni bavuna ubulungisa.

₁Yintoni edala iimfazwe neengxabano apha phakathi kwenu? Ngokuqinisekileyo zivela kwiinkanuko zenu ezisoloko zisenza imizabalazo ngaphakathi kwenu. ₂Xa ungazifumani izinto ozifunayo, ukhetha ukubulala; okanye xa ungafezeki umnqweno wakho, uyaxabana ulwe. Kanti ke, ungazifumani nje izinto ozifunayo, kungenxa yokuba awuziceli kuThixo. ₃Noba sowude wathandaza ucela, awuzuzi, kuba kaloku iinjongo zakho zimbi, ufuna nje ukufezekisa iinkanuko zakho. ₄Bantundini abangathembekanga, anazi kakade ukuba ngokuhlobana neli hlabathi nizenza iintshaba zikaThixo? Ewe, nabani na okhetha ukuvana neli hlabathi ulutshaba lukaThixo. ₅Mhlawumbi ngaba nicinga ukuba iziBhalo ziyalavuza xa zisithi: “UMoya esimnikiweyo uyakhweleta”? ₆Kodwa ke sona isisa asinika sona uThixo singaphezulu. Zitsho neziBhalo ukuthi: “UThixo uyabachasa abanekratshi, kodwa unesisa kwabathobekileyo.”

₇Ngoko ke zinikeleni ngokupheleleyo kuThixo. Mchaseni uSathana azokunibaleka. ₈Sondelani kuThixo naye azokusondela kuni. Hlambani izandla zenu, nina bonindini! Nizenze nyulu iintliziyo zenu, nina bahanahanisi! ₉Yibani lusizi nilile nintywizise! Ukuhleka makujike kube ziinyembezi, uvuyo lube lusizi! ₁₀Ukuba niyazithoba kuye uThixo, uya kuniphakamisa.

₁₁Mawethu, musani ukugxekana. Nabani na oligxekayo okanye aligwebe elinye ikholwa, ugxeka ugweba umthetho. Ukuba ke uyawugxeka umthetho, akuwuthobeli, koko ungumgwebi wawo. ₁₂NguThixo kuphela umniki-mthetho nomgwebi. Nguye kuphela onelungelo lokusindisa okanye atshabalalise. Kuxa ungubani ke wena ude ugwebe ummelwana wakho nje?

₁₃Makhe ndibhekise kuni nina bathi: “Namhlanje okanye ngomso siya kuya kwidolophu ethile, sifike sihlale unyaka wonke, sirhwebe sizuze imali eninzi.” ₁₄Nithetha nje ningayazi into eniza kuba yiyo ngomso. Nifana nje nomfa-nkungu othi uvele umzuzwana nje uphinde uphele. ₁₅Xa nithetha yithini: “INkosi ivuma, siya kwenza le naleya.” ₁₆Kodwa ke endaweni yokwenjenjalo nisuka nibe nekratshi, niqhayise; ibe ke ukuqhayisa yinto egwenxa. ₁₇Phofu ke yena umntu ongayenziyo imfanelo yakhe nakuba eyazi, unetyala.

₁Ngoku makhe ndibhekise kwabo bemi kakuhle, izityebi. Hlahlambani ningqukruleke ngenxa yeenzingo ezinizelayo! ₂Kaloku ubutyebi benu buyangunda, neempahla zenu zityiwa ngamanundu. ₃Igolide nesiliva yenu idliwa ngumhlwa. Ngulo mhlwa ke kanye obubungqina obunilahlayo, kuba uya kuyisuba njengomlilo inyama yenu. Kaloku nina nizifumbela ubutyebi ngoku sikwimihla yokugqibela. ₄Abasebenzi abalima amasimi enu anibahlawuli. Khanisive isikhalo sabo! Ewe, isililo sabavuni seside savakala nakuThixo, iNkosi uSomandla. ₅Kaloku obenu ubomi apha emhlabeni bubunewu-newu nobumnandi. Ewe, nizondle natyeba, kanti nizilungiselela umhla womgwebo. ₆Nimgwebile nambulala umntu ongenatyala. Kanti noko akaxhathisi.

₇Mawethu, yibani nomonde ide ifike iNkosi. Thathani umzekelo kumlimi: yena usilinda ngomonde isivuno asixabisileyo somhlaba wakhe. Ewe, yena uzilinda ngomonde iimvula zasentlakohlaza ngokunjalo nezasekwindla. ₈Ngoko ke nani yibani nomonde, ningatyhafi; kaloku iMini yokufika kweNkosi ikufuphi.

₉Mawethu, musani ukukhalazelana ukuze ningagwetywa nguThixo. Ngenene yena uMgwebi usemnyango. ₁₀Nanku ke umzekelo, mawethu: ndixela *abashumayeli bamandulo, abo babethetha egameni leNkosi. Bona mababe ngumzekelo wenu wokunyamezela ngomonde naxa kunzima. ₁₁Ewe, sithi banoyolo abo banyamezelayo. Seniyivile indlela awayenomonde ngayo uYobi; niyayazi indlela eyambuyekeza ngayo iNkosi. Kaloku iNkosi inenceba novelwano.

₁₂Ngaphezu koko ke, mawethu, musani ukufunga xa nisenza isithembiso; nditsho nangezulu, umhlaba, nangantoni na. Xa nivuma yithini: “Ewe,” nithi: “Hayi,” xa nisala, kube kuphela, ukuze ningabi sesichengeni sokugwetywa.

₁₃Ukuba kukho umntu osenkathazweni, makathandaze. Ukanti xa umntu evuya, makahlabele ingoma adumise. ₁₄Xa umntu egula, makabize amadoda amakhulu ebandla; wona aya kumthandazela, amthambise ngeoyile egameni leNkosi. ₁₅Lo mthandazo uphuma elukholweni uya kumnyanga umntu ogulayo, iNkosi imbuyisele empilweni, zithi nezono azenzileyo zixolelwe. ₁₆Ngoko ke zivumeni izono omnye komnye, nithandazelane, khon' ukuze ninyangeke. Kaloku umthandazo womntu olungileyo unamandla angummangaliso. ₁₇Ewe, uEliya wayengumntu efana nathi. Kodwa wathandaza ngokuzimisela ukuba ingani imvula, ngenene labalela iminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha. ₁₈Waphinda wathandaza, saza isibhakabhaka sayithoba imvula, lachuma ilizwe.

₁₉Mawethu, ukuba omnye wenu ulahlekile waphuma enyanisweni, waza omnye umntu wambuyisa, ₂₀qinisekani ngale ndawo: Nabani na oguqula umoni olahlekayo usindise umphefumlo ekufeni, watsho kwaxolelwa izono ezininzi.
