1408. Izenzeko ezishiwo lapha nakokulandelayo zenzeka ngempela emlandweni njengoba zilotshiwe, nokho futhi lezizenzeko zomlando ziyafanekisa, nawowonke amagama achaza lezizenzeko amumethe noma agodle incazelo kamoya. Kunjalo kuzozonke izingxenye zeZwi eziwumlando, hhayi iziNcwadi zikaMose kuphela kodwa futhi eziNcwadini zikaJoshuwa, AbAhluleli, USamuweli, nama Khosi, okuyizincwadi ezingenalutho olunye ngaphandle kwemilando yangempela. Kepha yize lezizincwadi ziqukethe imilando engqondweni yemvelo noma engaphandle, nokho engqondweni engaphakathi kucashe izimfihlakalo zezulu, nokuyizimfihlakalo ezingenakubonakala umanje umqondo neso lawo kugqolozele umlando wasemhlabeni wemvelo, nalezizimfihlakalo kazembulwa ngaphambi kokuba umqondo uziqhelise engqondweni yemvelo noma engaphandle. IZwi leNkosi linjengomzimba onomphefumulo ophilayo ngaphakathi kwawo. Izinto zomphefumulo kazibonakali umanje umqondo ugxile noma ujolozele/ugqolozele izinto zomzimba, kangangoba umqondo uze ungakholwa ukuthi umzimba unomphefumulo, kungasaphathwa ukuthi umphefumulo uyaphila ngemuva kokufa. Kodwa umqondo unele wahlukane nezinto zomzimba, izinto zomphefumulo nezempilo zivela obala; nakulokhu kulele isizathu sokuba kungani izinto zomzimba kumele zife ngaphambi kokuba umuntu azalwe kabusha, nesizathu sokuba kungani umzimba wemvelo kumele ufe ukuze umuntu akwazi ukungena ezulwini abone izinto zasezulwini.

[2] Kunjalo futhi nangeZwi leNkosi. Umzimba walo wemvelo uyizinto ezishiwo kulo ngengqondo yemvelo, nalapho umqondo ujolozele amagama aleyongqondo izinto ezingaphakathi kazibonakali nakancane. Kepha lapho umzimba walo ugudluka izinto ezingaphakathi kwalawomagama zibonakala okokuqala ngqa. Nokho, izinto ezisengqondweni yemvelo zifana nezinto ezikumuntu wemvelo lapho esesemzimbeni wenyama, nalezozinto ziyiziminya ezisenkumbulweni ezingena kuye ngesu lezinzwa neziyizikhongozelo noma izitsha kabanzi eziqukethe izinto zangaphakathi. Ngalokhu kungabonakala ukuthi izitsha ziyinto eyodwa, nezinto ezibucayi eziqukethwe yizitsha zingenye into eyahlukile. Izitsha zingezemvelo, kanti izinto ezibucayi ezisezitsheni zingezezulu likamoya nezulu lamazulu. Ngendlela efanayo imilando yeZwi, njengayoyonke imisho eseZwini, ikabanzi, ingeyomhlaba wemvelo, imbala iyizitsha zemvelo eziqukethe izinto zezulu likamoya nezezulu lamazulu. Lezizinto kazibonakali ngaphandle kokubonakala ngesu lengqondo engaphakathi.

[3] Umahluko ophakathi kwengqondo engaphandle nengqondo engaphakathi ungaba sobala kunoma wubani ngokuthi izinto eziningi eZwini ziphawulwa ngokusukela ezimbonakalweni, imbala ziphawulwa ngokusukela emalutheni ezinzwa, njengokuthi iNkosi iyathukuthela, iyajezisa, iyaqalekisa, iyabulala, neminye imisho eminingi enjengalena, ekubeni kodwa ingqondo engaphakathi isho noma iqukethe okuphambene nalokho, okungukuthi, iNkosi kayibonaze ithukuthele noma ijezise, kungasaphathwa ukuqalekisa noma ukubulala. Nokho kabalimali ngalutho abantu abakholwa ngayoyonke inhliziyo yabo ngenxa yobunguphane babo ukuthi iZwi lisho lokhu elikusho ngengqondo yemvelo umanje bephila impilo yesisa senhliziyo. Nesizathu sokungalimali ngenxa yalokho wukuthi iZwi kalifundisi lutho olunye ngaphandle kwalokhu—ukuthi bonke abantu kumele baphile impilo yesisa senhliziyo maqondana nomakhelwane nokuba bathande iNkosi ngaphezu kwazozonke izinto. Abagcina lomyalo bangumnini wezinto zangaphakathi, kanjalo kubo amalutha abawazuze ngengqondo yemvelo ahlakazeka noma achitheka kalula.

The Bible

 

Genesis 12

Study

   

1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.

8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.

9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.

10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.

11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.

13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.

14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.

17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.

18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.

20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
