Bible Reading Plan – Day 346

₁Kepha nesivumelwano sokuqala kambe sasinezimiso zenkonzo nendlu engcwele yasezweni. ₂Ngokuba kwakhiwa itabernakele* lokuqala okwakukhona kulo uthi lwezibani, netafula, nezinkwa zokubukwa, okuthiwa elingcwele; ₃ngasemva kwesihenqo sesibili kwakukhona itabernakele* elithiwa elingcwelengcwele, ₄eline-altare legolide lokuthunqisa nomphongolo wesivumelwano umboziwe ngegolide nxazonke, okwakukhona kuwo isitsha segolide esiphethe imana*, nenduku ka-Aroni eyahlumayo, nezibhebhe zesivumelwano; ₅phezu kwawo kwakukhona amakherubi* enkazimulo engamele isihlalo somusa, okungenakukhulunywa ngakho ngakunye manje.

₆Kepha lezo zinto zilungisiwe ngokunjalo, abapristi bangena njalo etabernakele* lokuqala befeza izinkonzo, ₇kodwa kwelesibili kungena umpristi omkhulu yedwa kanye ngomnyaka, kungengaphandle kwegazi anikela ngalo ngenxa yakhe uqobo nangenxa yezono zabantu, ₈uMoya oNgcwele etshengisa lokhu ukuthi ayikabonakaliswa indlela eya endaweni engcwele, lisemi itabernakele* lokuqala, ₉elona lingumfanekiso kulesi sikhathi samanje, okulethwa ngawo iminikelo nemihlatshelo engenakumenza okhonzayo aphelele maqondana nonembeza, ₁₀kodwa yona kanye nokudla nokuphuza nokugeza okuyizinhlobonhlobo iyizimiso zenyama kuphela ezibekiweyo, kuze kufike isikhathi sokupheleliswa kwezinto.

₁₁Kepha lokhu uKristu esefikile, engumpristi omkhulu wezinto ezinhle ezizayo, wadabula itabernakele* elikhulu neliphelele kunalelo, elingenziwanga ngezandla, okungukuthi elingesilo lalokhu kudalwa, ₁₂wangena kanye kuphela endaweni engcwele, kungengegazi lezimbuzi nelamathole kepha ngegazi lakhe, ezuzile ukukhululwa okuphakade. ₁₃Ngokuba uma igazi lezimbuzi nelezinkunzi nomlotha wesithole kufafaza abangcolileyo, kuhlambulula kube ngukuhlanzeka kwenyama, ₁₄kakhulu kangakanani igazi likaKristu owazinikela kuNkulunkulu ngoMoya ophakade engenacala lizakuhlanza unembeza wethu emisebenzini efileyo, ukuze sikhonze uNkulunkulu ophilayo.

₁₅Ngalokho-ke ungumlamuleli wesivumelwano esisha, kuze kuthi ngokufa okungenxa yokukhululwa eziphambekweni zesivumelwano sokuqala ababiziweyo bazuze ifa eliphakade elathenjiswayo.

₁₆Ngokuba lapho kukhona itestamente*, kufuneka ukuba kubikwe ukufa kowalenzayo; ₁₇ngokuba itestamente* lisebenza sekufiwe, ngokuba alize lingaba namandla esekhona owalenzayo. ₁₈Ngalokho-ke isivumelwano sokuqala asimiswanga ngaphandle kwegazi. ₁₉Ngokuba isikhulunyiwe imiyalelo yonke ngokomthetho nguMose kubantu bonke, wayesethatha igazi lamathole nelezimbuzi kanye namanzi noboya obubomvu nehisopi*, wafafaza incwadi nabantu bonke, ₂₀ethi: “Lokhu kuyigazi lesivumelwano aniyale ngaso uNkulunkulu.” ₂₁Netabernakele* futhi, nezitsha zonke zenkonzo wakufafaza kanjalo ngegazi. ₂₂Yebo, cishe zonke izinto zihlanjululwa ngegazi ngokomthetho; ngaphandle kokuchitha igazi akukho ukuthethelelwa.

₂₃Njalo-ke kwakudingekile ukuba imifanekiso yokusezulwini ihlanzwe ngalokho, kepha okusezulwini uqobo lwakho kuhlanzwe ngeminikelo emihle kunalena. ₂₄Ngokuba uKristu kangenanga endaweni engcwele eyenziwe ngezandla, engumfanekiso waleyo okuyiyo ngempela, kepha wangena ezulwini uqobo ukuba manje abonakale ebusweni bukaNkulunkulu ngenxa yethu, ₂₅kungesikho futhi ukuba azinikele kaningi, njengalokhu umpristi omkhulu engena endaweni engcwele iminyaka ngeminyaka, ephethe igazi elingesilo elakhe; ₂₆uma kwakunjalo wayemelwe ukuhlupheka kaningi selokhu kwasekelwa izwe; kodwa kalokhu ubonakalisiwe kanye ekupheleni kwezikhathi ukuba asuse izono ngokuzinikela kwakhe. ₂₇Futhi njengalokhu kumiselwe abantu ukuba bafe kanye, emva kwalokhu ukwahlulelwa, ₂₈kunjalo noKristu, esenikelwe kanye ukuba athwale izono zabaningi, uyakubonakala ngokwesibili ngaphandle kwesono kulabo abamlindeleyo, kube ngukusindiswa.

₁Ngokuba lokhu umthetho unesithunzi sezinto ezinhle ezizayo, ungesiwo umfanekiso wazo uqobo, ungeze waba namandla ngemihlatshelo enikelwa njalonjalo iminyaka ngeminyaka ukubenza baphelele labo abasondelayo; ₂uma kwakungenjalo, nga ingayekwanga ukunikelwa na? lokhu phela abakhonzayo sebehlanjululwe kanye babengasayikuba novalo ngezono. ₃Kodwa kuleyo mihlatshelo kukhona ukukhunjulwa kwezono iminyaka ngeminyaka; ₄ngokuba akunakwenzeka ukuba igazi lezinkunzi nelezimbuzi lisuse izono.

₅Ngalokho-ke esefika ezweni uthi:

₁₁Abapristi bonke kambe bemi bekhonza imihla ngemihla, benikela kaningi ngayona leyo mihlatshelo engasoze yaba namandla okususa izono; ₁₂kepha yena, esenikele ngomhlatshelo waba munye ngenxa yezono, wahlala phakade ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, ₁₃usalindele izitha zakhe zize zenziwe isenabelo sezinyawo zakhe. ₁₄Ngokuba ngomnikelo munye uphelelise njalonjalo labo abangcwelisiweyo.

₁₅Kepha noMoya oNgcwele uyafakaza kithina, ngokuba emva kokusho kwakhe ukuthi:

₁₉Ngakho-ke, bazalwane, njengokuba sinesibindi sokungena endaweni engcwele ngegazi likaJesu ₂₀ngendlela asivulela yona, indlela entsha ephilayo, edabula isihenqo, okungukuthi inyama yakhe, ₂₁sinompristi omkhulu wendlu kaNkulunkulu, ₂₂masisondele ngenhliziyo eqinisileyo ngokwethemba okupheleleyo kokukholwa, zifafaziwe izinhliziyo zethu kungasekho valo lokubi, umzimba wethu ugeziwe ngamanzi acwebileyo; ₂₃masibambisise isivumo sethemba lethu singaxegi, ngokuba ukholekile lowo owethembisayo; ₂₄masiqaphelane, ukuze kuvuswe uthando nemisebenzi emihle, ₂₅singakuyeki ukuhlangana kwethu njengomkhuba wabanye, kepha masivuselelane, ikakhulu njengokuba nibona usuku lusondela.

₂₆Ngokuba uma sona ngamabomu emva kokuba sesamukele ukwazi kweqiniso, akusekho umnikelo ngezono, ₂₇kepha kuphela ukulindela okwesabekayo ukwahlulelwa nomlilo oshisayo ozakuqeda amaphikankani. ₂₈Odelele umthetho kaMose uyakufa engahawukelwa ngezwi lawofakazi ababili noma bebathathu; ₂₉pho, nithi ufanele ukushaywa kangakanani kunalokho lowo onyathele phansi iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, wadelela igazi lesivumelwano angcweliswa ngalo, wahlambalaza uMoya womusa, na? ₃₀Ngokuba siyamazi owathi: “Ngeyami impindiselo, yimina engiyakubuyisela,” futhi-ke: “INkosi iyakubahlulela abantu bayo.” ₃₁Kuyesabeka ukuwela ezandleni zikaNkulunkulu ophilayo.

₃₂Kepha khumbulani izinsuku zakuqala okwathi ngazo senikhanyisiwe nakhuthazela empini enkulu yezinhlupheko, ₃₃kokunye ngokuba ngumbukwane ngezinhlamba nangezimbandezeko, kokunye ngokuba ngabahlanganyeli nababephathwa kanjalo. ₃₄Ngokuba nazwelana nababoshiweyo, navuma ngokuthokoza ukuphangwa kwempahla yenu, nazi ukuthi nina ninempahla enhle kunaleyo, nemiyo njalo.

₃₅Ngakho-ke maningalahli isibindi senu esinomvuzo omkhulu. ₃₆Ngokuba nidinga ukubekezela, ukuze seniyenzile intando kaNkulunkulu namukele isithembiso. ₃₇Ngokuba kuse yisikhashana nje, ozayo uyeza, akayikulibala; ₃₈kepha olungileyo wami uyakuphila ngokukholwa; kepha uma ehlehla nyovane, umphefumulo wami awunakuthokoza ngaye. ₃₉Kepha thina asisibo abokuhlehlela ekubhujisweni, kodwa singabokukholwa, kuze kube ngukusindiswa komphefumulo.
