Ba Loma 11
1 Ndamba kuti, ino Leza wakabakaka na bantu bakwe? Takukwe nichitabi boobo. Nkaambo ambe ndili munaIzilayeli, silunyungu lwaAbbulahamu, wamukowa waBenjamini.
Ngakho ngithi: UNkulunkulu ubalahlile yini abantu bakhe? Phinde! Ngoba lami ngingumIsrayeli, owenzalo kaAbrahama, wesizwe sikaBhenjamini.
2 Leza tewakaka bantu bakwe, mbakaziba kale. Tamuzi na malembe kuti atyeni aElija, mbakakombelezya Leza kubana Izilayeli?
UNkulunkulu kabalahlanga abantu bakhe abazi ngaphambili. Kumbe kalazi yini kuElija ukuthi umbhalo uthini? Ukuthi walabhela njani kuNkulunkulu emelene loIsrayeli, esithi:
3 “Mwami, bakajeya basinsimi bako, bakapwayila ansi zipayililo zyabo. Imebo andike ndime wakachaala, alubo balikuyandula bwangu bumi.”
Nkosi, babulele abaprofethi bakho, badilizile amalathi akho; mina-ke ngisele ngedwa, sebedinga umphefumulo wami.
4 Pesi Leza nsandulo yake ityeni kulinguwe? “Ndakalibambila musanu ababili zyulu zyabalumi batana kutyola zwi kuli Bbaala.”
Kodwa impendulo kaNkulunkulu yathini kuye? Yathi: Ngizitshiyele amadoda azinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, angaguqanga ngedolo kuBhali.
5 Nikuba obo lino, kuli chechino chiindi chasunu kuli bacheede akambo kakusalwa kwaluzyalo.
Kunjalo-ke kukhona langalesisikhathi insali ngokukhetha komusa.
6 Pesi na nzyakuluzyalo, tazichili zyakumilimu. Ateni luzyalo taluchike kuyoba luzyalo. Amwi malembe alabalwa pesi na zyitwa amilimu, mpawo tazichili zyaluzyalo; akutali kuti mulimu tuchili mulimu.
Kodwa uba kungomusa, kakusayi ngemisebenzi; uba kungenjalo umusa kawuseyiwo umusa. Kodwa aluba kusiya ngemisebenzi, kakuseyiwo umusa; uba kungenjalo umsebenzi kawusengumsebenzi.
7 Niyi lino? Chintu bana Izilayeli nchibayandula, nchibakatajana, abayingi bakayumisigwa.
Pho-ke? Lokhu uIsrayeli ayekudinga, lokho kakutholanga, kodwa abakhethiweyo bakuthola, labanye benziwa baba lukhuni;
8 Chili mbuli mbuchilembedwe: “Leza wakabapa Muuya wabufubafuba, meso kuchitila kuti bataboni, a matwi kuchitila kuti batamvwi, kusika muli obuno buzuba.”
njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: UNkulunkulu wabanika umoya wobuthongo obukhulu, amehlo ukuze bangaboni, lendlebe ukuze bangezwa, kuze kube lusuku lwalamuhla.
9 Mpawo Davida wamba kuti, “Muleke tafula lyabo libe kanyandi akakole, lyakubaleba akubabeda chumyo kulimbabo.
LoDavida uthi: Itafula labo libe ngumjibila lesifu, lesikhubekiso, lempindiselo kubo;
10 Muleke menso abo asizigwe kuchitila kuti bataboni, akutyola misana yabo lyonse.”
amehlo abo kafiphazwe ukuze bangaboni, njalo ugobise umhlana wabo njalonjalo.
11 Ndamba, “Bakalebwa na kusikila kukuwa?” Chitakabi obo. Pele, achibi chabo, lufutuko lwasika kuli baMasi, kuchitila kuti basungilizigwe kubuzuba.
Ngakho ngithi: Bakhubeka ukuze bawe yini? Phinde! Kodwa ngesiphambeko sabo usindiso lufikile kwabezizwe, ukubavusela umona.
12 Lino na chibi chabo mbuvubi bwakunyika, na kuswekelwa kwabo mbuvubi bwabaMasi, buyoba bupati kukuzuzikizya kwabo?
Kodwa uba isiphambeko sabo siyinotho yomhlaba, lokwehluleka kwabo kuyinotho yabezizwe, kakhulu kangakanani ukugcwala kwabo?
13 Pesi lino ndilikwambula kulindinywe nibaMasi, kufumbwa kuti kandili apositoli kuli baMasi, ndilalutangalo mumulimu wangu.
Ngoba ngikhuluma lani bezizwe, njengalokho mina ngingumphostoli wabezizwe; ngikhulisa inkonzo yami;
14 Ateni ndilakusungilizya kubuzuba kulibabo bayangu nyama. Ateni twali kunofutuka bamwi babo.
ukuthi mhlawumbe ngibavusele umona abenyama yami, ngisindise abanye babo.
15 Kuti kukaka kwabo kwamba kuyandana kwakunyika, kuyoba nzi kutambula kwabo pesi buumi kuzwa kubafwide?
Ngoba uba ukulahlwa kwabo kuyikubuyiswa komhlaba, kungaba yini ukwemukelwa, ngaphandle kokuthi kuyimpilo kwabafileyo?
16 Kuti michelo mitanzi kayisalala, mbubede munsuma wachinkwa. Kuti muyanda kusalala, mbibede amitabi,
Njalo uba izithelo zokuqala zingcwele, lenhlama injalo; uba-ke impande ingcwele, lengatsha zinjalo.
17 Pesi na imwi mitabi yakakuzuka, na webo uli mutabi wamuOlifa wamusokwe, wakabikwa akati kabo, alubo na wakaabana ambabo mumuvubi bwamuyanda wamunsamu muOlifa,
Kodwa uba kwephulwe ezinye ingatsha, lawe ongumhlwathi weganga waxhunyelelwa phakathi kwazo, uhlanganyele lazo impande lamafutha omhlwathi,
18 mutakalikankayizyi atala amitabi. Pesi na mwalikaknkayizya, teensi ndinywe munyampula mayanda, pesi muyanda ngumunyampula.
ungazincomi phezu kwengatsha; kodwa uba uzincoma phezu kwazo, kayisuwe othwele impande, kodwa impande wena.
19 Muyowamba kuti, “Mitabi yakatyoka kuchitila kuti ndibike mukati.”
Uzakuthi-ke: Ingatsha zephulwa, ukuze mina ngixhunyelwe.
20 Eyo ninchonzyo nkaambo kakutasyoma kwabo bakakuzuka, pesi muliima nji nkaambo kalusyomo lwanu. Mutayeyi loko atala andinywe, pesi akuyowa.
Kulungile; zephulwa ngokungakholwa, wena-ke umi ngokholo. Ungazikhukhumezi, kodwa yesaba;
21 Kuti na Leza takabika kulubazu mitabi yabube, takukwe mbayomu mbayobika kulubazu anywebo.
ngoba uba uNkulunkulu engayekelanga ingatsha zemvelo, hlezi lawe kayikukuyekela.
22 Mulange, mpawo, zyiito zyabuya abuyumu bwaLeza: buyumu bwakasikila baJuda bakawa, pesi bubotu bwaLeza buza alindinywe na mwayendelela mubuya bwakwe. Atela anywebo muyogwisigwa.
Khangela-ke ububele lobukhali bukaNkulunkulu; ubukhali, kulabo abawayo; kodwa kuwe, ububele, uba uhlala ebubeleni; uba kungenjalo uzaqunywa lawe.
23 Alubo nikuba mbabo nikuba mbabo na tebendelela mukutasyoma kwabo, nkambo Leza ulakonzya kubabika alubo.
Lalabo futhi, uba bengahlali ekungakholweni, bazaxhunyelwa, ngoba uNkulunkulu ulamandla okubuya abaxhume.
24 Na mwakaligwisigilwe kuli zyabube bwamunsamu wamusokwe muOlifa, akukazyana abube bwakabikwa mumunsamu mubotu muOlifa, bayoba biyeni kuli eyi mitabi, bakabikwe lubo kumunyina muOlifa?
Ngoba uba wena waqunywa emhlwathini weganga ngemvelo, wasuxhunyelelwa ngokuphambene lemvelo emhlwathini ohlanyelweyo, kakhulu kangakanani labo, abazingatsha ngemvelo, bazaxhunyelelwa esihlahleni sakibo somhlwathi?
25 Nkambo tandiyandi kuti mutabi batakwe luzibo, nibakwesu asinswa eyi, kuti mutakabi basongo mukuyeya kwanu. Kuyumya kumwi kwasikila Izilayeli kusikila mwelwe woonse wabamasi banjila.
Ngoba ngithanda ukuthi lingabi ngabangaziyo, bazalwane, ngalimfihlo, hlezi lizitshaye abahlakaniphileyo, ukuthi ubulukhuni sebehlele uIsrayeli nganxanye, kuze kungene ukugcwala kwabezizwe;
26 Nkaako Izilayeli woonse uyokufutulwa, mbuli mbukulembedwe: “Kuzwa muZiyoni nkwayozwa munununi. Uyogwisya kubula Leza kuzwa kuli Jakobe,
ngokunjalo-ke uIsrayeli wonke uzasindiswa; njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Kuzavela eSiyoni uMkhululi, asuse ukungabi loNkulunkulu kuJakobe;
27 alimwi eechi chiyoba chizuminano ambabo, nintakagwisye zibi zyabo.”
njalo yilesi isivumelwano sami kubo, lapho ngizasusa izono zabo.
28 Mbuli makani mabotu mbalangide, mbasinkondonyokwe kuchitila ndinywe. Pesi mbulilusalo mbolubede, baliyandidwe akaambo kaba similimu bakale.
Ngokwevangeli bayizitha ngenxa yenu; kodwa ngokukhetha bangabathandiweyo ngenxa yabobaba;
29 Nkaambo zipego akwiitwa kwaLeza tazisanduliki.
ngoba izipho zomusa lokubiza kukaNkulunkulu kakulakuphenduka.
30 Mbuli mbumwakali bataswilili kuli Leza, lino mwatambula luse akambo kakutaswilila kwabo.
Ngoba njengalokhu lani kade lingamlaleli uNkulunkulu, kodwa khathesi selihawukelwe ngenxa yokungalaleli kwabo;
31 Munzila njiyonya eyo, lino aba baJuda bakaba bataswilili. Mpindu yakali yakuti aluse lutondezedwe kulindinywe bakatambula luse alubo.
ngokunjalo lalabo khathesi kabalalelanga, ukuze ngesihawu senu bahawukelwe labo;
32 Nkaambo Leza wakazijalila zyoonse mukutaswilila kuchitila kuti atondezye luse kuli bonse. (eleēsē g1653)
ngoba uNkulunkulu ubavalele bonke ekungalalelini, ukuze abe lesihawu kubo bonke. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Aah, kunika kwakuvubi antomwe bwabusongo a luzibo lwaLeza! Taziyanduuliki biyeni mbeteko, anzila zyakwe zyiinda kubbutula!
Yeka ukujula kwenotho, kokubili eyenhlakanipho leyolwazi lukaNkulunkulu! Kakuphenyeki kangakanani ukwahlulela kwakhe, lendlela zakhe kazilandeleki!
34 “Nguni wakaziba miyeeyyo yaMwami na nguni wakaba sikumuchenjezya?
Ngoba ngubani owazi ingqondo yeNkosi? Kumbe ngubani owaba ngumeluleki wayo?
35 Na nguni wakatalika kupa chintu kuliLeza, kuti Leza amubwedezye?”
Kumbe ngubani owamnika kuqala, njalo kubuyiselwe kuye?
