KumaHebheru 3

1 Ngakho, bazalwane abangcwele, bahlanganyeli bobizo lwasezulwini, qaphelani umphostoli lompristi omkhulu wovumo lwethu, uKristu Jesu,

2 othembeke kulowo owammisayo, njengoMozisi laye wayenjalo endlini yakhe yonke.

3 Ngoba kwathiwa lo ufanele udumo olukhulu kuloMozisi, njengoba ulodumo olukhulu kulendlu ayakhileyo.

4 Ngoba yonke indlu yakhiwa ngothile; kodwa owakha izinto zonke nguNkulunkulu.

5 UMozisi kambe wayethembekile endlini yonke yakhe njengenceku, kuze kube yibufakazi bezinto ebezizakhulunywa;

6 kodwa uKristu njengendodana phezu kwendlu yakhe; esiyindlu yakhe thina, uba-ke sibambelela ngokuqina isibindi lokuziqhenya kwethemba kuze kube sekupheleni.

7 Ngakho njengoba uMoya oyiNgcwele esithi: Lamuhla uba lilizwa ilizwi lakhe,

8 lingazenzi zibe lukhuni inhliziyo zenu, njengekucunuleni, ngosuku lokulingwa enkangala,

9 lapho oyihlo bangilinga, bengihlola, basebebona imisebenzi yami okweminyaka engamatshumi amane;

10 ngakho ngasithukuthelela lesosizukulwana, ngathi: Bayaduha kokuphela enhliziyweni; lalaba kabazazanga indlela zami;

11 ngaze ngafunga ekuthukutheleni kwami ngathi: Kabayikungena ekuphumuleni kwami.

12 Nanzelelani, bazalwane, hlezi kuzakuba khona loba nini phakathi komunye wenu inhliziyo embi yokungakholwa, ekuduheni kuNkulunkulu ophilayo;

13 kodwa khuthazanani insuku ngensuku, kusathiwa lamuhla, ukuze kungabi khona kini owenziwa lukhuni ngenkohliso yesono;

14 ngoba sesibe ngabahlanganyeli bakaKristu, uba-ke sibambisisa isiqalo sokuqiniseka kuze kube sekupheleni;

15 kusathiwa: Lamuhla uba lilizwa ilizwi lakhe, lingazenzi zibe lukhuni inhliziyo zenu, njengekucunuleni.

16 Ngoba abanye sebezwile bathukuthelisa, kodwa kakusibo bonke labo abaphuma eGibhithe ngoMozisi.

17 Kodwa ngobani athukutheliswa yibo okweminyaka engamatshumi amane? Kakusibo labo abonayo yini, abazidumbu zabo zawela enkangala?

18 Ngobani-ke afunga kubo ukuthi kabazukungena ekuphumuleni kwakhe, ngaphandle kwalabo abangalalelanga?

19 Ngakho siyabona ukuthi babengelakungena ngenxa yokungakholwa.
