Hivru 11
1 Hagi amentintima hu'zana, onke'nona zamofo tamage huno fore hugahie huta amuhama nehuna zane.
Ukukholwa yikuba leqiniso lalokhu esikulindeleyo njalo kuqinisekile ngalokho esingakuboniyo.
2 Korapa vahe'mo'za zamentinti hu'nazagu, Anumzamo'a fatgo vahere huno huzmantene.
Lokhu yikho abendulo abanconywa ngakho.
3 Tamentinti nehunku, Anumzamo'a ke'areti ama mopane, monanena trohune huta antahi amara nehune. Ana hu'negu menima tavuma negona zana, Anumzamo'a nonkona zanteti tro hu'ne. (Jen-Agf 4:3-10.) (aiōn g165)

4 Ebeli'a amentinti Anumzamofonte nehuno kre sramana vunte'neazamo, Keni'ma kre sramana vunte'neazana agaterene. Ebeli'a amentinti higeno Anumzamo'a fatgo nere huno huso'e huntene. Ebeli'a ko fri'neanagi amentinti hu'neazamo tagrira meninena hunerasamie. (Jen-Agf 5:21-24.)
Ngokukholwa u-Abheli wanikela kuNkulunkulu umnikelo omuhle kulokaKhayini. Ngokukholwa wanconywa njengomuntu olungileyo, ngesikhathi uNkulunkulu ekhuluma kuhle ngeminikelo yakhe. Njalo ngokukholwa ulokhu ekhuluma, lanxa sewafa.
5 Enoku'a amentinti higu Anumzamo'a avregeno ofrineno, monafinka marerige'za onke'naze. Na'ankure ofrino mani'nerera Anumzamofo avurera fatgo huno mani'negeno, Anumzamo muse hunteno avare'ne.
Ngokukholwa u-Enoki wasuswa kulumhlaba ephila ukuze angakuzwa ukufa: “Kabonakalanga ngoba uNkulunkulu wayesemthethe.” Engakathathwa, wayenconywe njengowayethokozise uNkulunkulu.
6 Amentintima omane'nesigeno'a, Anumzamofo avesizama avaririzamo'a amuho huntegahie. Na'ankure iza'o Anumzamofontema esimo'a, agra amentintima haniana, Anumzana mani'neankino, Agriku'ma hakaza vahera mizana nezamie huno antahino. (Jen-Agf 6:13-22.)
Kungelakukholwa akweneliseki ukumthokozisa uNkulunkulu ngoba oza kuye kumele akholwe ukuthi ukhona lokuthi uyabanika umvuzo labo abamdinga ngobuqotho.
7 Anumzamo'a Noana asamigeno amentinti ana kegura nehuno, amageanteno tima hagesifima naga'a zamagu vazisigura ventea tro hu'ne. Fore'ma osu'nea knaza fore hugahie huno Anumzamo'a asamine. Noama amentinti hu'neazamo, ama mopafi vahe'mofo kefo avu'avazazmia eriama nehigeno, Anumzamo'a fatgo nere huno huntene. (Jen-Agf 12:1-8.)
Ngokukholwa uNowa esexwayisiwe ngezinto ezazingakabonakali, ngokwesaba okungcwele wakha umkhumbi ukuba ahlenge abendlu yakhe. Ngokukholwa kwakhe wawulahla umhlaba waba yindlalifa yokulunga okuza ngokukholwa.
8 Abrahamu'ma henkama erisinti haresia kumate vinogu Anumzamo'ma huntegeno'a, inankna kumate vinogu huntene ontahi'neanagi, amentinti nehuno ke amageanteno vu'ne.
Ngokukholwa u-Abhrahama esebizelwe ukuba aye endaweni ayezayamukela muva njengelifa lakhe, walalela wahamba, lanxa wayengakwazi lapho ayesiya khona.

10 Hakare zupa Abrahamu'a amentinti nehuno, henkama hanave ranku'ma Anumzamo retro hunteteno, Agra'a ki'nea ranku'ma erisigu aveganteno manine.
Ngoba wayelindele idolobho elilezisekelo, elimcandi walo lomakhi walo nguNkulunkulu.
11 Sera'enena tavavategeno avufgamo'a haviza hu'neanagi, amentinti nehuno Anumzamo'ma huvempa hu'nea kemo'a nena'a fore hugahie higu, mofavre kasentene. (Jen-Agf 17:19, 18:11-14, 21:2)
Ngokukholwa, lanxa u-Abhrahama wayeseluphele loSara eyinyumba, wanikwa amandla okuba lomntwana ngoba wambona njengothembekileyo lowo owayenze isithembiso.
12 Hagi magoke ne' Abrahamu'a ozafarenea nepinti, maka fore hu'naza vahe'mo'za, monafi hanafi kna nehu'za, hagerinkenafi kahepankna hu'za ohampriga'a vahe mani'naze.
Ngakho-ke, kusukela kulumuntu oyedwa, owayefana lofileyo, kwavela inzalo enengi njengezinkanyezi emkhathini njalo engeke ibalwe njengenhlabathi ekhunjini lolwandle.

Abantu bonke laba bafa belokhu bephila ngokukholwa. Kabazamukelanga izinto ezathenjiswayo; bazibona nje kuphela bazithakazelela zikude. Njalo bavuma ukuthi bona babeyizizwe lezihambi emhlabeni.
14 E'ina hukna kema nehaza vahe'mo'za, zamagrama umani so'ema hanaza kumaku nehakaze.
Abantu abakhuluma izinto ezinje babonakalisa ukuthi bafuna ilizwe elingelabo.
15 Zamagrama e'naza kumategama vunakuma antahintahima hazasina, ete e'naza kumatega vazasine.
Aluba babecabanga ngelizwe abasuka kulo, babezakuba lethuba lokubuyela.
16 Hianagi knarema hu'nea kumaku nehakazana mona kumare. E'ina hu'negu Anumzamo'a tamagri Anumza mani'noe huzankura, Agra agazea osugahie. Na'ankure Agra mago ranku'ma retro huzmantene.

17 Anumzamo'a Abrahamuna amentinti reheno kenaku, Aisakina ahenka kre sramana vunanto hu'ne. Huvempa kema huntenemo Abrahamu'a amentinti nehuno, magoke mofavrea Aisakina ahe fri'za hu'ne.
Ngokukholwa, kwathi u-Abhrahama ehlolwa nguNkulunkulu, wanikela u-Isaka njengomhlatshelo. Yena owayamukele izithembiso wayeseseduze ukuba anikele indodana yakhe eyodwa njalo eyiyo kuphela,
18 Anumzamo'a Abrahamunku hu'neana, Aisakipinti fore hanaza vaheku, Abrahamu ageheze huno hugahaze huntene. (Jen-Agf 1:12)
lanxa uNkulunkulu wayethe kuye, “isizukulwane sakho sizabalwa ngo-Isaka.”
