KumaHeberu 9

1Kepha nesivumelwano sokuqala sasinezimiso zenkonzo nendlu engcwele yasezweni.

2Ngokuba kwakhiwa itabernakele; eyokuqala okwakukhona kuyo uthi lwesibani, netafula, nezinkwa zokubukwa; okuthiwa ithempeli.

3Emva kwesihenqo sesibili kwakukhona itabernakele elithiwa iNgcwelengcwele;

4eyayinomcengezi wegolide wempepho, nomphongolo wesivumelwano unamekwe ngegolide nxazonke, okwakukhona kuwo imbiza yegolide eyayinemana, nenduku ka-Aroni eyahlumayo, nezibhebhe zesivumelwano;

5Phezu kwawo amakherubi enkazimulo engamele isihlalo somusa; esingeke sikwazi ukukhuluma ngazo ikakhulukazi manje.

6Kwathi seziqediwe lezi zinto, abapristi bangena njalo etendeni lokuqala, befeza inkonzo kaNkulunkulu.

7Kodwa kweyesibili umpristi omkhulu yedwa kungena kanye ngomnyaka, kungeyisikho ngaphandle kwegazi, azinikela ngenxa yakhe langenxa yeziphambeko zabantu.

8UMoya oNgcwele efakaza lokhu, ukuthi indlela eya endaweni engcwele yayingakabonakali, itabernakele lokuqala lisamile;

9okwakuwumfanekiso walesi sikhathi esikhona, lapho kwanikelwa khona izipho nemihlatshelo, okungekwenze lowo owenza inkonzo aphelele ngokukanembeza;

10ababemi kuphela ekudleni lekuphuzweni, lokugezisa izinhlobonhlobo, lezimiso zenyama, ababekwe phezu kwabo kuze kufike isikhathi sokuguqulwa.

11Kepha uKristu esefikile engumpristi omkhulu wezinto ezinhle ezizayo, wadabula itabernakele elikhulu neliphelele kakhulu, elingenziwanga ngezandla, okungukuthi elingelona elalesi sakhiwo;

12kungengegazi lezimbuzi nelamathole, kodwa ngelakhe igazi wangena kanye nje endaweni engcwele, esizuzele ukukhululwa okuphakade.

13Ngoba uba igazi lezinkunzi lelezimbuzi lomlotha wethokazi ufafaza abangcolileyo, kungcwelisela ekuhlambululeni inyama;

14Kakhulu kangakanani igazi likaKristu owazinikela ngoMoya ophakade engenasici kuNkulunkulu, liyakuhlambulula unembeza wenu emisebenzini efileyo, ukuze nikhonze uNkulunkulu ophilayo na?

15Ngakho-ke ungumlamuleli wesivumelwano esitsha, ukuze kuthi ekufeni kube kuhlengwa eziphambekweni ngaphansi kwesivumelwano sokuqala, ababiziweyo bamukele isithembiso sefa eliphakade.

16Ngokuba lapho kukhona khona isivumelwano, kumelwe ukuba kube khona nokufa kwalowo olenzayo.

17Ngokuba isivumelwano sinamandla emva kokufa kwabantu;

18Ngakho-ke isivumelwano sokuqala asenziwanga ngaphandle kwegazi.

19Ngokuba uMose eseshilo yonke imiyalo kubantu bonke ngokomthetho, wathatha igazi lamathole nelezimbuzi, kanye namanzi, noboya obubomvu, nehisopi, wafafaza incwadi nabantu bonke;

20esithi: Lokhu kuyigazi lesivumelwano uNkulunkulu alilaye ngaso.

21Wafafaza ngegazi itabernakele nezitsha zonke zenkonzo.

22Ngomthetho cishe zonke izinto zihlanjululwa ngegazi; futhi ngaphandle kokuchitha igazi akukho ukuthethelelwa.

23Ngakho-ke kwakudingekile ukuba imifanekiso yezinto ezisezulwini ihlanzwe ngalokho; kodwa okusezulwini ngokwako kunemihlatshelo engcono kunale.

24Ngoba uKristu kangenanga endaweni engcwele eyenziwe ngezandla, engumfanekiso weyeqiniso; kodwa ungene ezulwini uqobo, ukuba manje abonakale ebusweni bukaNkulunkulu ngenxa yethu.

25Kungesikho ukuthi azinikele kaningi, njengalokhu umpristi omkhulu engena endaweni engcwele iminyaka ngeminyaka negazi lenye;

26Ngokuba ngabe ngabe uhluphekile kaningi selokhu kwasekelwa izwe, kepha manje usebonakalisiwe kanye ekupheleni kwezwe ukuba asuse isono ngomhlatshelo wakhe.

27Njengalokhu kumiselwe abantu ukuba bafe kanye, emva kwalokhu ukwahlulelwa;

28Kanjalo noKristu wanikelwa kwaba kanye ukuba athwale izono zabaningi; futhi kulabo abalindele yena uyobonakala ngokwesibili ngaphandle kwesono kube insindiso.
