UHLU LOMLOBI LWEZIHLOKO EZIQUKETHWE EMQINGWENI WOKUQALA.

IziMfihlo zeZulu ezisonjululwe eziBhalweni eziNgcwele noma eZwini leNkosi zikwiNcazelo, eyiNgqondo engaPhakathi yeZwi. Ukuthi lengqondo inhloboni kungabonwa kulezozinto ezikhonjiswe malungana nayo ngokusukela eLwazini lokuzazela mathupha ezinombolweni 1767-1777, 1869-1879; nasemongweni noma engqikithini yenkulumo (ezinombolweni 1-5, 64-66, 167, 605, 920, 937, 1143, 1224, 1404, 1405, 1408, 1409, 1502 ekugcineni, 1540, 1659, 1756, 1783, 1807).

IZinto eziMangalisayo ezibonwe eMhlabeni weMimoya naseZulwini leziNgelosi, kuqalwe ngazo futhi zajotshelelwa ezahlukweni ezimbalwa. Kulomqingo kukhona lezizihloko ezilandelayo:

Mayelana nokuVuswa komuntu kwabafileyo, nokungena kwakhe ekuphileni okuphakade (n. 168-181).

Isiqhubezo mayelana nokungena komuntu ekuphileni okuphakade (n. 182-189; naku 314-319).

Ukuthi ngaleyonkathi impilo yoMphefumulo noma yoMumoya injani (320-323).

Ezinye izibonelo zemicabanga yeMimoya yokuthi yayicabangani ngoMphefumulo noma ngoMumoya ngenkathi isesemzimbeni wemvelo (n. 443-448).

Mayelana neZulu kanye neNjabulo yaseZulwini (n. 449-459; 537-546; 547-553).

Mayelana namaBandla abumba noma enza iZulu (n. 684-691).

Mayelana nesiHogo (n. 692-700).

Mayelana neziHogo zabaHahayo; namayelana neJerusalema eliNgcolile, nabaPhangi eHlane; namayelana nothuvi obugcwele eziHogweni zalabo abebecwile ezinjabulweni zomzimba noma zezinzwa besaphila emhlabeni wemvelo (n. 938-946).

Mayelana nezinye iziHogo ezehlukile kulezi esezibalwe ngenhla (n. 947-970).

Mayelana neziNcithakalo (n. 1106-1113).

UHlu lomlobi lwezihloko eziqukethwe emqingweni wesikhombisa.

IziMfihlakalo zezulu ezisonjululwe ezibhalweni eziNgcwele noma ezwini leNkosi ziqukethwe ezincazelweni, eyingqondo engaphakathi yezwi. Izanduleliso ezendulela izahluko ezimbalwa ziyincazelo yalokhu okulandelayo: Ziyincazelo eyingqondo engaphakathi yamazwi eNkosi akuMathewu 25:34-36 (ezinombolweni 4954-4959).

Ziyisiqhubezo mayelana nokuqhamisana komuntu noMuntu oMkhulu: ukuqhamisana kwamanyonga nezitho ezixhumene nawo (ezinombolweni 5050-5062).

Ziyisiqhubezo mayelana nokuqhamisana komuntu nomuntu omkhulu (ezinombolweni 5377-5396).

Ziyisiqhubezo mayelana nokuqhamisana komuntu nomuntu omkhulu: ukuqhamisana kwesikhumba, izinwele, namathambo (ezinombolweni 5552-5573).

Ziyisiqhubezo mayelana nokuqhamisana: ukuqhamisana kwezifo nomhlaba kamoya (ezinombolweni 5711-5727).

UHLU LOMLOBI LWEZIHLOKO EZIQUKETHWE KULOMQINGO.

Kuqukethwe izimfihlakalo zezulu ezethulwe ngencazelo yengqondo enga pha-kathi yeZibhalo ezingcwele noma yeZwi.

Okujotshelelwe ekugcineni kwezinye iZahluko kumayelana nezingelosi ka nye nemimoya okuhanqa umuntu (bheka izinombolo 5846-5866).

Isiqhubezo mayelana nezingelosi kanye nemimoya okuhanqe umuntu (bheka izinombolo 5976-5993).

Kujotshelelwe okumayelana nomngenela nobudlelwane bomphefumulo emzimbeni wemvelo (bheka izinombolo 6053-6058).

Isiqhubezo mayelana nomngenela nobudlelwane bomphefumulo emzimbeni wemvelo (6189-6215).

Isiqhubezo mayelana nomngenela nobudlelwane bomphefumulo emzimbeni wemvelo (6307-6327).

Isiqhubezo mayelana nomngenela nobudlelwane bomphefumulo emzimbeni wemvelo (bheka izinombolo 6466-6496).

Isiqhubezo mayelana nomngenela nobudlelwane bomphefumulo emzimbeni wemvelo (bheka izinombolo 6598-6626).

Okunye okulotshiwe (bheka amakhasi 503, 504).

814. Uhlobo lwemimoya oluqukethe inzondo eyesabekayo, kanjalo olubhodla impindiso, lungaphefumuli lutho olunye ngaphandle kokubulala omunye umumoya, lunganeliseki lungakakufezi lokho, luvalelwe esihogweni esiwukufa nesijule kakhulu lapho kunuka khona iphunga elibi kakhulu lezidumbu. Okumangalisayo wukuthi lemimoya ilithanda kakhulu lelophunga kangangoba ikhetha lona phakathi kwamaphunga amnandi ngokwedlulele. Lubi kakhulu kangako uhlobo namalutha aphuma ebubini kwalemimoya. Isihogo salemimoya yiso esiphafuka lelophunga; nalapho lesisihogo sivulwa, okuyinto engavamile ukwenzeka, futhi lapho yenzeka yenzeka isikhathi esin-cane, iphunga elibi elikhuphuka liphu ma kuso libi futhi linamandla kangangoba imimoya ayikwazi ukuhlala kuleyondawo ephafukelwayo. Abanye genii noma imimoya ephindisayo, ike yalethwa kimi iphuma kulesosihogo ukuze ngiyibone noma ngiyazi ukuti injani. Yangcolisa umoya ngokuphefumula umoya owubuthi nomubi kan-gangoba imimoya eyayingihaqile yasuka ngenxa yokuthi ayikwazanga ukuwubekezelela, khonalapho umoya wayo wabanga ukuba isisu sami siguquke, kuthi kangiphalaze.

[2] Leyomimoya ephindisayo yazethule kimi njengengane encane, enobuso obuthandekayo, ithukuse isinqindi sokugwaza kuyo, yathunyelwa kimi iphethe indishi esandleni. Ngalokhu, ngaziswa ukuthi yabe inenhloso yokubulala, ngokugwaza noma ngobuthi, nalokhu ikwenze ngesu lokuzenzisa ubusulwa. Kepha oqotsheni lwayo yayinqunu futhi inemizimba emnyama kakhulu. Nokho masinya yabuyiselwa esihogweni sayo esiwuqobo lokufa, ngavunyelwa nokubona indlela lemimoya eyayingena ngayo esihogweni sayo. Yayihamba iya ngakwesokunxele sami, ekuphakameni okuqondene nenhlafuno yami, yahamba ibanga elide ngaphambi kokuphulukundlela ingene esihogweni sayo. Lapho yehlela esihogweni sayo yayidlula entweni efana nomlilo, idlule entuthwini eshunqayo nefana nentuthu yembuthuma, maqede ngezansi kwaleyombuthuma bangene ezingxenyeni ezingaphambili lapho kwakukhona imigede eminingi emnyama eyehlela phansi. Ngesikhathi behlela esihogweni sabo, ngasosonke lesosikhathi babebalisa emiqondweni yabo befuna ukwenza ububi—ngaphandle kwesizathu—ikakhulu emimoyeni emsulwa. Ngesikhathi lemimoya yehla yedlula emlilweni yayikhala imemeza kakhulu. Ukuze lemimoya yaziwe ukuthi iphumaphi nokuthi inhloboni, lapho ithunyelwa ngaphandle iphathiswa indilinga ethile enanyathiselwe ngameva ensimbi anombala wethusi; nalendilinga balokhu beyicindezela beyijikijikisa, okuyisu lokukhombisa ukuthi banhloboni nokuthi baboshiwe noma bavalelwe.

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.
