UMALAKI 2
2
1“Nje-ke baphristi, isiyeleliswesi ngesenu! 2Lokha naningalaleliko, nihloniphe ibizo lami ngokuncamileko, ngizokuthumela amanikelela phezu kwenu begodu ngifelelise iimbusiso zenu. Vele, ngizazifelelisa naningancamiko.” Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla.
3“Ngizanikhalima nina siqhema sabaphristi, ngizakurhatjha ubuso benu ngomswani, iye, umswani womhlabelo wemigidenu; nginisuse ebusweni bami. 4Nizakwazi-ke bonyana nginithumelele isiyeleliswesi ngebanga lesivumelwano sami noLevi.” Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla.
5“Isithembiso engasenza kuLevi, kwakukumnikela ukuphila nokuthula. Ngamnikela lokho bona angihloniphe, wavele wangihlonipha wesaba ibizo lami. 6Emlonyenakhe bekunemiyalo yeqiniso, akukho okumamanga okwafunyanwako eembheneni zakhe. Wakhamba nami ngokuthula amsulwa begodu abanengi ubatjhugululile esonweni.
7“Ngambala iimbhena zomphristi kufanele zilonde ukwazi, emlonyenakhe kube nomyalo ngombana yena usithunywa sakaSomnini uSomandla. 8Kodwana nina baphristi, niphambukile endleleni begodu ngeemfundiso zenu nenze abanengi bakhutjwa; niphambene nesivumelwano sami noLevi.” Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla. 9“Nje-ke, mina ngizanenza nibe ngabadelelekileko nabanyazekako phambi kwabantu boke ngombana akhange nilonde iindlela zami, kunalokho nikhethe ukufundisa umyalo ngokukara abantu.”
Ukungathembeki kwakaJuda
10Asinababa munye soke na? AkusinguZimu munye osibumbileko? Alo, kubayini sidelele isivumelwano sabobaba ngokungathembeki omunye komunye? 11UJuda akhange athembeke. Kwenziwe ameswe kwa-Israyeli neJerusalema: UJuda usilaphaze okucwengileko nokuthandwa nguSomnini ngokuthatha umlobokazi olotjha abosingazimu. 12Sengathi uSomnini angamsusa umuntu owenza intwele ematendeni wakwaJakopo, ngitjho naloyo omjamelelako nanyana angaletha iminikelo kuSomnini uSomandla.
13-14Niwululela i-aldari lakaSomnini ngeenyembezi. Nilila benibibitheke ngombana uSomnini akasatjheji iminikelwenu begodu akasayamukeli ngethabo ezandleni zenu. Beniyabuza nithi: “Kubayini kunje?” Uyazi bonyana yini? USomnini umgwebi phakathi kwakho nomfazakho weenkomo ngombana wenze ameswe ngokungathembeki kuye amlinganakho, amfazi wesivumelwano somuzi. 15Azange enze indoda nomfazi baba munye na? Ubagade angenza abantu ababili abahlukileko. Kubayini-ke abenze baba munye? Kungombana ubagade afuna ukubumba isizukulwana esethembekileko kuZimu. Nje-ke zilondeni nimunye njalo njengokubunjwa kwenu, ungamlahli umfazakho weenkomo. 16USomnini uZimu wakwa-Israyeli uthi: “Ngambala, loyo otlhala umkakhe abe amqotjhe uphehla inturhu. Nje-ke zilondeni nimunye njengokubunjwa kwenu, ungamlahli umfazakho weenkomo.” Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla.
Ilanga lokugwetjwa
17Nidine uSomnini ngeenkulumo zenu, kodwana niyabuza nithi: “Simdine ngaliphi uSomnini?” Ngelithi: “Boke abenza ameswe balungile kuSomnini begodu uyabathabela. Nange kungasi njalo, uphi-ke uZimu wokulunga?”
