UmShumayeli 3:9-22 IsiZulu 2020 (ZUL20)
Uzuzani osebenzayo ngomshikashika wakhe na? Ngiwubonile umshikashika uNkulunkulu awunike abantu ukuba babe matasatasa ngawo. Konke ukwenze kwafanela isikhathi sakho, ngaphezu kwalokho wabeka ukulangazelela iphakade ezinhliziyweni zabantu, kodwa abakwazi ukuyazi imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu kusukela ekuqaleni kwayo kuze kube sekugcineni kwayo. Ngiyazi ukuthi akukho okuhle kubo kunokuthokoza nokuzithokozisa, inqobo nje uma besaphila, futhi kuyisipho esivela kuNkulunkulu, asipha umuntu ukuba wonke umuntu adle, aphuze, athokozele wonke umshikashika wakhe. Ngiyazi ukuthi noma yini uNkulunkulu ayenzayo imi kuze kube phakade; akukho okungenezelwa kuyo, nokungasuswa kuyo; uNkulunkulu lokhu ukwenzele ukuba abantu bamesabe. Lokhu okukhona, sekwake kwaba khona, nalokho okusazoba khona, sekuvele kukhona. UNkulunkulu uyakufuna osekwake kwenzeka. Phezu kwalokho ngabona ukuthi phansi komthunzi welanga, esikhundleni sobulungiswa, kunenkohlakalo; esikhundleni sobuqotho, kunobubi. Ngathi enhliziyweni yami: “UNkulunkulu uzobehlulela abaqotho nezikhohlakali, ngokuba yonke indaba nomsebenzi kubekelwe isikhathi sakho.” Ngathi enhliziyweni yami: “Maqondana nabantu, uNkulunkulu uyabavivinya ukuze bazibonele ukuthi banjengezilwane. Ngokuba okuvelela abantu kuyafana nokwehlela izilwane; njengoba umuntu efa, kanjalo nesilwane siyafa. Konke kunomoya ofanayo, umuntu akazedluli izilwane, ngokuba konke kuyize. Konke kuya endaweni eyodwa; konke kuvela othulini, konke kubuyela othulini. Ngubani owaziyo ukuthi umoya womuntu uyenyuka kuthi owesilwane wehlele emhlabeni na?” Ngakho-ke ngabona ukuthi akukho okungcono kunokuba umuntu athokoze ngomsebenzi wakhe, ngokuba lokho kuyisabelo sakhe; ngubani ongamenza abone okuyakwenzeka nxa esefile na?

Unanzuzoni osebenzayo ngalokho akushikashikayo na? Ngibonile umshikashika uNkulunkulu awunikile amadodana abantu ukuba awushikashike. Wenzile konke kube kuhle esikhathini sakho, ubekile nokuphakade ezinhliziyweni zabo; nokho umuntu angefumane umsebenzi awenzile uNkulunkulu kwasekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni. Ngiyazi ukuthi akukho okuhle kubo kunokuba bathokoze, bazenzele okumnandi besekhona. Kepha futhi ukuba abantu bonke badle, baphuze, babone okuhle kuwo wonke umshikashika wabo kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu nalokho. Ngiyazi ukuthi konke akwenzayo uNkulunkulu kuyakuba khona kuze kube phakade; akukho okungenezelwa kukho, futhi akukho okungasuswa kukho. UNkulunkulu ukwenzile ukuba abantu besabe phambi kwakhe. Lokhu okukhona yikho okwakukhona, nalokhu okuyakuba khona kade kwakukhona; uNkulunkulu ufuna okudlulileyo. Futhi ngabona phansi kwelanga ukuthi kukhona okubi endaweni yokwahlulela nokuthi kukhona ukushinga endaweni yokulunga. Ngase ngithi enhliziyweni yami: “UNkulunkulu uyakwahlulela nolungileyo nomubi, ngokuba kukhona lapha isikhathi sezindaba zonke nesemisebenzi yonke.” Ngathi enhliziyweni yami: “Kungenxa yamadodana abantu ukuze uNkulunkulu awavivinye, wona azibonele ukuthi anjengezilwane nje. Ngokuba okwehlela amadodana abantu kwehlela nezilwane, into inye ikwehlela kokubili: njengalokhu kufa lokho, kuyafa nalokhu; kunomphefumulo munye, umuntu akazidluli ngalutho izilwane, ngokuba konke kuyize. Konke kuya endaweni inye; konke kuvela othulini, konke kubuyela othulini. Ngubani owaziyo ukuthi umoya wamadodana abantu ukhuphukela phezulu, nomoya wezilwane ukuthi wehlela phansi emhlabathini, na?” Ngase ngibona-ke ukuthi akukho okungcono kunokuba umuntu athokoze ngemisebenzi yakhe, lokhu kuyisabelo sakhe, ngokuba ngubani ongambuyisa ukuba abone okuyakuba semva kwakhe na?
UmShumayeli 3:9-22 Contemporary Zulu Bible 2024 (CZB24)
Usizani osebenzayo ngalokho akukhandlekayo? Ngabona ukubaluleka komzamo uNkulunkulu awunikela kubantwana babantu ukuze baqeqeshwe kuwo. Wenza konke kwaba kuhle ngesikhathi sakho; futhi wafaka izwe enhliziyweni yabo, ukuze kungabikho muntu ongathola umsebenzi uNkulunkulu awenzayo kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni. Ngiyazi ukuthi akukho okuhle kubo, kodwa ukuthi umuntu uyajabula futhi enze okuhle ekuphileni kwakhe. Futhi ukuthi wonke umuntu adle, aphuze, ajabulele okuhle kuwo wonke umshikashika wakhe, lokhu kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu. Ngiyazi ukuthi konke uNkulunkulu akwenzayo kuyakuba khona kuze kube phakade; akukho okungalethwa kukho futhi akukho okuthathwe kukho; futhi uNkulunkulu uyakwenza lokhu, ukuze abantu bamesabe. Okwakukhona khathesi; nalokho okuyakuba khona kade kwaba khona; futhi uNkulunkulu uthi lokho okwedlule. Ngabuye ngabona phansi kwelanga indawo yokwahlulela, ukuthi kukhona ububi; nendawo yokulunga kwakukhona ububi. Ngathi enhliziyweni yami: “UNkulunkulu uyakwahlulela olungileyo nomubi, ngokuba kukhona isikhathi sawo wonke umqondo nawo wonke umsebenzi. Ngathi enhliziyweni yami mayelana nesimo sabantwana babantu, ukuthi uNkulunkulu angabambula futhi babone ukuthi bayizilwane. Ngokuba okwehlela abantwana babantu kwehlela nezilwane; lokunye kubehlela: njengokufa komuntu, kuyafa lokunye; yebo, banomoya munye bonke; ukuze umuntu angabibikho ngaphezu kwesilwane, ngokuba konke kuyize. Bonke baya endaweni eyodwa; bonke bavela othulini, futhi bonke babuyela othulini. Ngubani owaziyo umoya womuntu okhuphukayo, nomoya wesilo owehlela emhlabeni na? Ngakho ngiyabona ukuthi akukho okuhle kunokuba umuntu ajabule ngemisebenzi yakhe; ngoba lokhu kuyisabelo sakhe; ngoba ngubani ozamletha ukuze abone okuzakuba emva kwakhe?
