Bible Reading Plan – Day 319

₁Andibi kanene ndikhululekile? Ndiba niyaqonda ukuba ndithunyiwe, *ndingumthunywa. Andibi kanene ndambona uYesu iNkosi yethu? Andibi kanene nina nisisiqhamo somsebenzi endiwenzela iNkosi? ₂Ndiqinisekile nokuba abanye bathi andingomthunywa, ndinguye kuni. Kaloku ukumanyana kwenu neNkosi ngumqondiso wokuba ndithunywe yiyo.

₃Ke ukuziphendulela kwabo bandigxekayo ndenjenje: ₄Ngaba andinalo mna ilungelo lokuba nditye ndisele? ₅Ngaba andinalo mna ilungelo njengabanye abathunywa, abantakwabeNkosi, noPetros, lokuba ndibe nenkosikazi engumKrestu, ndijikeleze nayo? ₆Okanye makube kuphela ndim noBharnabha ekufuneka sitye ukubila kwethu? ₇Lakha lakho phi ijoni elizihlawulela ngokwalo iindleko zalo emkhosini? Mlimi wuphi olima ajike angasityi isivuno? Nguwuphi umalusi ongazityiyo izapholo?

₈Ngaba ilungelo lam lokuba ngumthunywa lixhomekeke kule mizekeliso iqhelekileyo kuphela, okanye ngaba *nomthetho kaMosis uthetha kwaloo nto nawo? ₉Ewe, kaloku umthetho uthi: “Musa ukuyifaka isicheme inkabi ibhula.” Ke ngaba ziinkabi zeenkomo zodwa na ezi axela zona uThixo? ₁₀Ngaba asiqukwa na nathi? Ngokuphandle âbhalelwa thina la mazwi. Kaloku umlimi ulima ngethemba, nalowo ubhulayo ubhula ngethemba lokuba nesabelo. ₁₁Sahlwayela imbewu kaMoya phakathi kwenu. Nimangaliswa yintoni ke sakulindela inkxaso kuni? ₁₂Ukuba abanye banelungelo lokulindela iziqhamo ezinjalo kuni, alingaphezulu na ke elethu ilungelo? Ke thina asenzanga nto ngeli lungelo. Koko sisuke sanyamezela nayiphi na imeko endaweni yokuba sibe yimiqobo ethintela ukuhanjiswa kweendaba ezimnandi ezingoKrestu. ₁₃Anazi na ukuba abo basebenza *endlwini kaThixo baphila kwayiyo, baze abo benza amadini eqongeni lamadini bafumane isabelo kuloo madini? ₁₄Ngokunjalo ke iNkosi iyalele ukuba abo bashumayela iindaba ezimnandi zikaThixo baphile zizo.

₁₅Kodwa ke mna andikawabangi la malungelo, futhi ke nokubhala oku andizami kubanga wona. Hayi, ndixolele ukufa endaweni yokwenjenjalo! Akukho namnye uza kulijika ilungelo lam lokuqhayisa, alenze amazwi alambathayo. ₁₆Nokuba ndiyashumayela, andinalungelo lakuqhayisa ngaloo nto. Kaloku ndithunywe ukushumayela. Ngoko ke kungayinto embi gqitha xa ndingazishumayeli iindaba ezimnandi. ₁₇Ukuba bendisebenza ndingathunywanga, bendingade ndilindele umvuzo. Kodwa ke ngoku ndisebenza kuba ndinyanzelekile. Ngoko ke ndifezekisa into elindelekileyo ukuba ndiyenze. ₁₈Uyintoni ke umvuzo wam? Lilungelo lokuba ndizishumayele iindaba ezimnandi ndingahlawulisi, ndingawabangi amalungelo am ngokushumayela iindaba ezimnandi.

₁₉Ndikhululekile; kodwa naxa kunjalo ndizenza isicaka sabantu bonke, ukuze ndizuze babe baninzi kangangoko kunokwenzeka. ₂₀Xa ndisebenza namaJuda, ndiziphatha njengawo, ukuze ndiwazuze. Nangona mna ngokwam ndingekho phantsi komthetho kaMosis, ndiziphatha ngathi ndiphantsi kwawo xa ndisebenza nâbo baphantsi kwawo, ukuze ndibazuze. ₂₁Kwangaloo ndlela, xa ndiphakathi kweentlanga ezingekho phantsi komthetho kaMosis, ndiziphatha njengazo. Le nto ke ayithethi kuthi andiwuthobeli umthetho kaThixo, kuba eneneni ndiphantsi komthetho kaKrestu. ₂₂Xa ndiphakathi kwabantu abasephantsi kwesithethe ndiba njengabo, ukuze ndibazuze. Ngoko ke ndiba zizinto zonke kubantu bonke, ukuze ndiyisindise inxalenye yabo xa kunokwenzeka.

₂₃Le nto xa iyonke ndiyenza ngenxa yeendaba ezimnandi, khon' ukuze ndibe nenxaxheba kwiintsikelelo ezifumaneka ngenxa yazo. ₂₄Nani niyazi ukuba kukhuphiswano lweembaleki baba baninzi abazigqatsayo, kodwa mnye kuphela kubo ozuza imbasa. Nani ke balekelani ukuze nifumane imbasa. ₂₅Nabani na ozigqatsayo kukhuphiswano uba phantsi kwengqeqesho engqongqo. Le nto uyayinyamezela khon' ukuze afumane isithsaba esibunayo. Kodwa thina siyenza siza kuzuza isithsaba esingagugiyo. ₂₆Yiloo nto endenza ndithi ngqo, ndisukele ukuya kufika entanjeni. Ikwayiloo nto endenza ndifane nembethi-manqindi engachithi xesha ngokubetha umoya. ₂₇Ndiwuphatha gadalala umzimba wam, ndiwuqhelisa, ukuze uhlale ulawuleka; hleze ndithi ndakuba ndibashumayezile abanye, mna ngokwam ndingamkeleki.

₁Kaloku, mawethu, yikhumbuleni into eyabehlelayo ookhokho bethu ababekhokelwa nguMosis. Xa bebonke babekhuselwe lilifu, baza basinda baluwela uLwandle oluBomvu. ₂Ukungena kwabo kwelo lifu nokuwela kwabo ulwandle kwaba bubungqina bokuba bangabalandeli bakaMosis. ₃Bonke batya ukutya koMoya, ₄baza basela isiselo soMoya. Babesela kwelo liwa likaThixo lalisoloko likho. Lona ke iliwa elo lalatha uKrestu. ₅Kodwa ke nangoko uThixo akaneliswanga luninzi lwabo, ngenxa yaloo nto ke izidumbu zabo zathi saa entlango.

₆Ngoku ke zonke ezi zinto ziyimizekelo kuthi ukuze singanqweneli izinto ezimbi njengabo, ₇futhi singanquli izithixo njengoko yênzayo inxalenye yabo. Kaloku *iziBhalo zithi: “Abantu bahlala phantsi batya basela, baza baphakama badlala.” ₈Masingarheletyi njengokuba babesenjenjalo abanye babo, kwaza ngamini-nye kwafa amawaka angamashumi amabini anesithathu. ₉Masingamlingi uKrestu njengokuba babesenjenjalo abanye babo, baza babulawa ziinyoka. ₁₀Musani ukukrokra njengoko babesenjenjalo abanye babo, waza uThixo wabatshabalalisa.

₁₁Zonke ezi zinto zabahlelayo ziyimizekelo. Zabhalelwa ukuba zibe sisilumkiso kuthi, thina sidla ubomi kumaxesha okugqibela.

₁₂Nabani na ozicingela ukuba umile makalumke angawi. ₁₃Nasiphi na isilingo esikuhlelayo siyinto eqhelekileyo emntwini. Yena ke uThixo, ngokuba ethembekile, akayi kukuyekela ulingwe ngokungaphezu kwamandla akho. Hayi, wosuka akuvulele ikroba lokuphuncula, ukuze ube nako ukunyamezela.

₁₄Nani ke, zihlobo zam, kucezeleni ukunqula izithixo. ₁₅Ndithetha nani njengabantu bengqiqo, ngoko ke yicaluleni ngokwenu le nto ndiyithethayo kuni. ₁₆Xa sidumisa uThixo ngokuthatha indebe engumqondiso weentsikelelo zakhe, ngaba loo nto ayithethi kuthi sinenxaxheba kwigazi likaKrestu? Khona xa siqhekeza isonka, ngaba loo nto ayithethi kuthi sinenxaxheba kumzimba kaKrestu? ₁₇Kuba kaloku sinye qha isonka; nathi nangona sibaninzi nje, simzimba mnye, kuba sonke sabelana ngeso sonka sinye.

₁₈Khanikhe nicinge ngenkqubo yamaJuda. Abo balityayo idini baba nodlelwano noThixo, lo lenzelwa yena eqongeni lamadini. ₁₉Ngaba ke ndithetha ukuthini? Ngaba ndithi makube kukho nto siyiyo isithixo? Okanye makube ndithi idini elenzelwa sona liba yinto enexabiso? ₂₀Hayi, anditsho. Ndithi amadini enziwa ziintlanga akenzelwa Thixo, enzelwa iindimoni. Yaye andifuni nibe nanxaxheba neendimoni. ₂₁Aninako ukusela indebe yeNkosi, niphinde nisele eyeendimoni, ningenakuthatha nxaxheba esithebeni seNkosi, ze niphinde nibe nenxaxheba nakweseendimoni. ₂₂Makube sifuna iNkosi ikhwelete? Sinamandla thina kunayo kakade?

₂₃“Sivumelekile ukwenza nayiphi na into,” kukho abatshoyo. Ewe kunjalo kambe, kodwa azilunganga zonke izinto. Ewe: “Sivumelekile ukwenza nayiphi na into,” kodwa izinto azakhi zonke. ₂₄Makungabikho bani ufuna ukulungelwa yedwa; elowo makakhathalele nokwabanye.

₂₅Ningatya nantoni na eniyithenge esilarheni, ningazidubanga ngakuziphengulula sazela ngemibuzo, ₂₆kuba, njengoko zitshoyo iziBhalo: “Ihlabathi leleNkosi nako konke okukulo.”

₂₇Ukuba nimenywa ngumntu ongelokholwa, nize isimemo eso nisamkele, yityani into ebekwe phambi kwenu, ningazidubi ngokuphengulula isazela ngemibuzo. ₂₈Kodwa ukuba kukho onithele thsuphe ukuba nitya ukutya kwedini, musani ukukutya ke oko kutya, ngenxa yalowo unixeleleyo, nangenxa yesazela. ₂₉Anditsho esenu, ndixela esakhe. “Ke, ingathini inkululeko endinayo yokuzikhethela into emandiyenze ukulawulwa sisazela somnye umntu?” Ubani angabuza atsho, ₃₀aqhube ngelithi: “Ukuba ndiyambulela uThixo ngesabelo sam esidlweni, ndisagxekelwani ngokutya endimbulela ngako uThixo?”

₃₁Nokuba ke nenza ntoni na, nokuba niyatya, nokuba niyasela, yenzelani udumo lukaThixo. ₃₂Ziphatheni ngohlobo lokuba ningaphazamisi bani, nokuba ngumJuda, nokuba ngumGrike, nokuba ngowebandla likaThixo. ₃₃Xelisani mna, mna ndizama ukwanelisa wonke ubani ngento endiyenzayo. Andenzeli kulungelwa kwam phofu, koko ukulungelwa komntu wonke, ukuze bonke basindiswe.

₁Hambani ekhondweni lam, njengoko mna ndihamba ekhondweni likaKrestu.

₂Ndiyanincoma ngokusoloko nindikhumbula, nizigcina nezithethe endininike zona. ₃Kambe ke ndifuna nicacelwe kukuba njengoko uKrestu ongamele indoda nganye, yindoda eyongamele umkayo, nanjengoko uKrestu onganyelwe nguThixo. ₄Ngoko ke indoda ethandazayo okanye eshumayelayo enkonzweni ithwele into entloko, iyamhlaza uKrestu. ₅Kwaye nawuphi na umfazi othandazayo okanye oshumayelayo enkonzweni, engathwele nto entloko, uyayihlaza indoda yakhe; loo mfazi akahluke nganto kumfazi onenkqayi! ₆Ukuba akathwali nto, makasuke agugule intloko kube kanye. Njengoko kulihlazo ukuba umntu obhinqileyo achetywe okanye abe nenkqayi, umfazi ke makathwale. ₇Akukho mfuneko yokuba ithwale indoda, kuba ibonakalisa umfanekiso nesidima sikaThixo. Umfazi ke liqhayiya lendoda yakhe. ₈Kaloku asiyondoda eyathathwa emfazini, ngumfazi owathathwa endodeni ukudalwa kwakhe. ₉Asiyondoda eyadalwa ngenxa yomfazi, ngumfazi owadalwa ngenxa yendoda. ₁₀Ngoko ke, ngenxa yokuhlonela imilowo yakwaThixo umfazi makathwale. ₁₁Kanti ke akukho namnye ungaxhomekekanga komnye kwabo badlelana noKrestu; indoda ixhomekeke emfazini, nomfazi endodeni. ₁₂Nanjengokuba kaloku umfazi wathathwa endodeni, ngokunjalo ke nendoda izalwa ngumfazi, yaye ke bobabini bavela kuThixo owadala zonke izinto.

₁₃Zahluleleni ngokwenu ke! Kufanelekile na ukuba umntu obhinqileyo athandaze enkonzweni engathwele nto entloko? ₁₄Indalo ngokwayo yalatha ukuba zilihlazo endodeni iinwele ezinde; ₁₅kodwa zilibhongo lomntu obhinqileyo. Kaloku wazinikwa iinwele ezinde ukuze zimgqume. ₁₆Kodwa ke ukuba kukho ofuna ukuwuphika lo mbandela, ndingasuka ndithi, mna kwanalo ibandla likaThixo, akukho siko limbi sinalo thina enkonzweni.

₁₇Nantsi indawo endingenakunincoma ngayo: ezintlanganisweni zenu anihlanganeli kwakhana, koko nisuka none. ₁₈Ndawo yokuqala, ndivile ukuba kwezi nkonzo zenu nahluka-hlukene, ibe ke ndiyaqonda ukuba loo nto ngahle ibe injalo. ₁₉(Kambe yona iyantlukwano ilindelekile, ukuze kucace abo basendleleni nabo banxaxhayo.) ₂₀Ukuhlangana kwenu enkonzweni anihlanganeli kwenza umthendeleko weNkosi ₂₁kuba omnye uzityela yedwa, baze abanye basale belambile ngeli lixa abanye benxila. ₂₂Aninamakhaya apho ningatya nisele khona? Mhlawumbi ngaba nilidelile ibandla likaThixo, nihlaza abo basweleyo nje? Nilindele ukuba ndithini ngale nto? Ngaba nilindele ukuba ndinincome? Nakanye!

₂₃Kaloku le mfundiso ndaninika yona, mna ndayamkela kuyo iNkosi: Le yokuba iNkosi uYesu ngobusuku eyanikelwa ngabo yathatha isonka, ₂₄yabulela yasiqhekeza, yathi: “Ngumzimba wam lo; thathani. Ze nenjenje ke ukundikhumbula.” ₂₅Kwangokunjalo yayithatha nayo indebe emva kokuba kutyiwe, yathi: “Le ndebe ingumnqophiso omtsha osungulwa ngokuphalala kwegazi lam. Ngamaxesha onke niyisela mayinikhumbuze ngam.” ₂₆Kuba kaloku ngamaxesha onke nisitya esi sonka, niyisela le ndebe, nivakalisa ukufa kweNkosi, ide ibuye.

₂₇Ngoko ke lowo usityayo esi sonka, ayisele indebe yeNkosi, engafanelekanga, woba netyala ngomzimba negazi leNkosi. ₂₈Makazicikide ke ngoko ngokwakhe umntu, aze ke asitye isonka eso, ayisele nendebe leyo; ₂₉kuba lowo utyayo asele, uzityela aziselele umgwebo ukuba akawuphicothi ngokufanelekileyo umzimba weNkosi. ₃₀Lo ngunobangela wokuba babe baninzi phakathi kwenu ababuthathaka nabayimilwelwe, ngokunjalo nasebefile. ₃₁Ukuba besizicikida ngeba asigwetywa; ₃₂kodwa ke sisohlwaywa nje, siyaqeqeshwa yiNkosi, ukuze singagwetywa kunye nehlabathi.

₃₃Ngoko ke, mawethu, xa nihlangana esidlweni seNkosi lindanani. ₃₄Ukuba kukho olambileyo, makaqale atye ekhaya, ukuze ukuhlangana kwenu kunganizeli nokugwetywa. Eminye imicimbi ndoyiphonononga ndakuba ndifikile apho.
