Amakhalipha okholo ngokwemizekelo yeTestamente eNdala
1Ukholo ke kukukholosa ngezinto ezithenjiweyo; kukweyiseka bubukho bezinto ezingabonwayo. 2Kuba amanyange ángqinelwa ngokuba nalo olo.
3Ngokholo siyaqonda ukuba indalo le yonke yenziwe yabakho ngelizwi likaThixo, ukuze izinto ezi zibonwayo zibe aziphume kwezibonakalayo.
4Ngokholo uAbheli wasondeza kuye uThixo umbingelelo ogqithileyo kunokaKayin, awangqinelwa ngawo ukuba ulilungisa, uThixo wayingqinelayo nje iminikelo yakhe; ngalo ke, efile nje, usathetha.
5Ngokholo uEnoki wafuduselwa emazulwini ukuba angaboni kufa; akaba nakufunyanwa ke, ngenxa enokuba uThixo wamfudusayo; kuba ngaphambi kokufuduswa kwakhe, wangqinelwa ukuba umkholise kakuhle uThixo. 6Ke, lungekho ukholo, akunakubakho ukumkholisa kakuhle; kuba lowo uzayo kuThixo, umelwe kukukholwa ukuba ukho, nokuba ungumvuzi wabo bamfunayo.
7Ngokholo uNowa, ehlatyelwe nguThixo ngazo izinto ebezingekabonwa, wathi ngokoyika uThixo wawakha umkhombe wokusindisa indlu yakhe, awathi ngalo waligweba ihlabathi, waba yindlalifa yobulungisa obungokokholo.
8Ngokholo uAbraham wathi, akubizwa, wakululamela ukuba aphume, aye kuloo ndawo abeza kuyamkela ukuba ibe lilifa; waphuma ke, engazi kakuhle nalapho aya khona. 9Ngokholo waba ngumphambukeli emhlabeni wedinga, wanga ukowasemzini, ehleli eminqubeni, ndawonye noIsake noYakobi, beziindlalifa zalo elo dinga ndawonye naye; 10kuba wayewulindele umzi lo uneziseko, ungcibi, umbangi wawo, inguThixo.
11Ngokholo noSara ngokwakhe wamkela amandla okumisa umzi, waza wazala, liseligqithile ixesha lokuba amithe, ekubeni wambalela ekuthini uthembekile lowo wabekayo ngedinga. 12Kungoko kwazalwayo ngamnye, engofileyo ke lowo, into engangeenkwenkwezi zezulu ukuba yintabalala, nanjengentlabathi eselunxwemeni lolwandle, engenakubalwa.
13Aba bonke bafa ngokokholo, bengawafumananga amadinga; besuka bawabona kude, bakholosa, bathakazela, bavuma ukuba bangabasemzini, balundwendwe emhlabeni. 14Kuba abo bàthetha izinto ezinjalo, babonakalalisa ukuba bangxamele ikowabo. 15Ke, ukuba okunene babekhumbula elo babephuma kulo, ngebaba nethuba lokubuyela kulo. 16Kodwa ngoku bazolulela kwelona lilungileyo, oko kukuthi, kwelasemazulwini. Kungoko uThixo angenazintloni ngabo, ukuba kuthiwe unguThixo wabo, kuba ebalungisele umzi.
17Ngokholo uAbraham wamnikela uIsake, akulingwa; waye, owawamkelayo ngovuyo amadinga lawo, enikela okuphela kwawamzalayo; 18ekwakuthethwe kuye kwathiwa, Iya kubizwa ngoIsake imbewu yakho; 19ecamanga ngokuthi, uThixo unako ukuvusa nakwabafileyo; apho athe ngoko wamzuza ngokomzekeliso.
20Ngokholo uIsake wabasikelela uYakobi noEsawu, ngazo izinto eziza kubakho.
21Ngokholo uYakobi uthe, xa aqhawukayo, wabasikelela oonyana bakaYosefu ngabanye, waqubuda esimelele ngentonga yakhe.
22Ngokholo uYosefu uthe, xa abhubhayo, wakukhankanya ukuphuma koonyana bakaSirayeli, wawisa umthetho ngawo amathambo akhe.
23Ngokholo uMoses uthe, akuba ezelwe, wafihlwa iinyanga zantathu ngabazali bakhe, ngenxa enokuba bambona ukuba ungumntwana omhle, abasoyika isimiselo sokumkani.
24Ngokholo uMoses uthe, akuba mkhulu, akavuma ukubizwa ngokuthi ungunyana wentombi kaFaro; 25enyula kanye ukuba aphathwe kakubi, ndawonye nabantu bakaThixo, kunokuba axhamle izono okomzuzwana; 26ekubalele ukungcikivwa kukaKristu kububutyebi obungaphezu kobutyebi baseYiputa, kuba wayekhangele ukwamkela umvuzo. 27Ngokholo wayishiya iYiputa, akawoyika umsindo wokumkani; kuba wakrota, wanga uyambona lowo ungenakubonwa. 28Ngokholo uyenzile ipasika nokutshizwa kwegazi, ukuze lowo wayewatshabalalisa amazibulo angawachukumisi.
29Ngokholo baluwela uLwandle oluBomvu,• kwanga kusemhlabeni owomileyo; athe amaYiputa, akukulinga oko, antywiliselwa.
30Ngokholo zawa iindonga zaseYeriko, zakuba zijikeleziwe iimini ezisixhenxe.
31Ngokholo uRahabhi ihenyukazi akatshabalalanga nabo bangevayo, akuba ezamkele iintlola ngoxolo.
32Ndisathetha ntoni na? Kuba ndingáphelelwa lixesha ndibalisa ngoGidiyon, kwanoBharaki, noSamson, noYifeta, kwanoDavide, noSamuweli, nangabo abaprofeti; 33abathe ngokholo beyisa izikumkani, basebenza ubulungisa, bazuzana namadinga, bavingca imilomo yeengonyama, 34bacima amandla omlilo, basinda kwiintlangothi zekrele, bomelela ekubeni bebeswele amandla, baba ngamagorha emfazweni, bagxotha imikhosi yabasemzini.
35Abafazi babazuza abafileyo babo bevukile; abanye ke batyakatywa, bengalwamkelanga ukhululo, ukuze bazuzane nolona luvuko lululo. 36Bambi ke benziwa intlekisa, batyakatywa; phezu koko ke baviswa imixokelelwane nentolongo; 37baxulutywa ngamatye; basarhwa; bahendwa; bafa kukubulawa ngekrele; bahamba ngeengubo zeegusha nangeengaga zeebhokhwe, beswele, 38bebandezelwe, bephathwa kakubi (elalingabafanele ihlabathi), bedinga koozintlango, noozintaba, noomiqolomba, nakwimingxuma yomhlaba.
39Aba ke bonke bathi, nakuba babengqinelwe ngalo ukholo, àbazuzana nalo idinga, 40uThixo esazalelele thina ngeyona nto ilungileyo, ukuze bangènziwa bagqibelele ngaphandle kwethu.
