INKOLO YEZULU ELISHA NESONTO ELISHA

1. 1. 1. 1. Lenkolo iqale yabekwa obala kabanzi ngaphambi kwemininingwane yayo, ukuze ibe

yisandulelo somsebenzi olandelayo,futhi ibe njengesango eliholela

emnyango wethempeli,nanjesiqoqo esiqukethe imininingwane elandelayo no- bunjani bayo. Ibizwa

ngenkolo yeZulu eliSha neSonto eliSha ngoba izulu,eliyi-khaya lezingelosi,nesonto elakhiwe

ngabantu,kubambisene,njengomuntu onga-phakathi nomuntu ongaphandle; kanjalo umuntu wesonto

osekulungeni kothando okuvela emaqinisweni enkolo,futhi esemaqinisweni enkolo avela ekulungeni

ko-thando,ngengaphakathi lakhe noma lomqondo wakhe,uyingelosi yezulu; ekulesi-simo,emva

kokufa ungena ezulwini lapho enenjabulo khona kangangebanga le-simo sokuxhumana kothando

lwakhe nenkolo yakhe. Makwaziwe ukuthi lenkolo iyisandulelo,isango nesiqoqo seZulu eliSha

elimiswa yiNkosi njengamanje.

2. 2. 2. 2. INKOLO YEZULU ELISHA NESONTO ELISHA KABANZI INJE :-

INkosi kusukela phakade,enguJehova,yeza emhlabeni ukuzocindezela izihogo nokuzodumisa

uBuntu baYo; ngaphandle kwalokhu akukho muntu owayengasi-ndiswa; kanjalo bayasindiswa labo

abakholwa kuYo.

[2222] Lokhu kubizwa ngenkolo ngokukabanzi,ngokuba lokhu kungumnyombo wenkolo kabanzi;

nomnyombo wenkolo kabanzi umele ukuba kuleyo naleyonto, nakuzozonke izinto zaleyonkolo.

Kungumnyombo wenkolo kabanzi ukuthi uNku-lunkulu unguMuntu oyedwa nengqikithi yaKhe

iyodwa,okukuyo kukhona ubutha-thu bobuNkulunkulu,nokuthi uyiNkosi uNkulunkulu uMsindisi uJesu

Khrestu. Ku-ngumnyombo wenkolo kabanzi ukuthi kakho umuntu owayengasindiswa ngapha-ndle

kokuza kweNkosi emhlabeni. Kungumnyombo wenkolo kabanzi ukuthi weza emhlabeni ukuba

azosusa isihogo ekuqhoqhobaleni umuntu,nokuthi wasisusa ngokulwa naso,wasinqoba,kanjalo

wasicindezela,wasiphoqa simthobele. Kungu-mnyombo wenkolo kabanzi ukuthi weza emhlabeni

ukuzodumisa uBuntu baKhe ayezobuthabatha emhlabeni wemvelo,okungukuthi azobuhlanganisa

noBunkulu-nkulu [obungumsuka wazo zonke izinto],nangalokho ufake izihogo ehlelweni na-

ngaphansi komthetho waKhe kuze kube phakade. Nanjengoba lokhu kwakunga-fezwa kuphela

ngezilingo ezavunyelwa nguYe ukuba zimlinge eseBuntwini ba-Khe,ngisho nesilingo

sokugcina,esasiyiminjunju yasesiphambano,naso wasibe-

2

kezelela. Lena yiminyombo yenkolo kabanzi malungana neNkosi.

[3333] Isimiso senkolo ngokubanzi ngasohlangothini lomuntu wukuthi umuntu ku-mele akholwe

eNkosini; ngokuba ngokukholwa kuYo kubakhona ukuxhumana naYo,nangalokho kubakhona

ukusindiswa. Ukukholwa eNkosini ngukuba nethe-mba noma iqholo lokuthi iNkosi iyasindisa;

nanjengoba kuphela yilabo abaphila ngobuqotho abanaleliqholo,nangalokhu kushiwo ukukholwa

kuYo. Futhi iNkosi iyakufundisa lokhu kuJohane :-

Lokhu kuyintando kaBaba,ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiNdodana abe nokuphila

Okuphakade (vi.40);

futhi:-

Okholwa yiNdodana unokuphila okuphakade;kepha ongakholwa yiNdodana kayikubona

ukuphila,kodwa intukuthelo kaNkulunkulu ihlezi phezu kwakhe (iii.36).

3333.... INKOLO YEZULU ELISHA NESONTO ELISHA NGOKWEMINININGWANE ikanje:-

UJehova uNkulunkulu unguthando uqobo lwalo nenhlakanipho uqobo lwayo, noma ungukulunga

uqobo lwakho neqiniso uqobo lwalo; namalungana neqiniso loBunkulunkulu,eliyiZwi,futhi

elalinguNkulunkulu okuNkulunkulu,wehla wathaba-tha uBuntu ngenhloso yokufaka ehlelweni zonke

izinto ezabe zisezulwini,nazo-zonke izinto ezabe zisesihogweni,nazozonke izinto ezabe

zisesontweni; ngokuba ngaleyonkathi amandla esihogo ayesengaphezulu kwamandla

ezulu,nasemhla-beni amandla obubi ayesedlondlobele ngaphezu kwamandla okulunga,nangenxa

yalokho ukubhubha geqé kwesintu kwase kumi kusikaza emnyango waso. Leyo ngozi yokubhubha

kwabantu eyabe isizokwenzeka maduzane,yasuswa nguJe-hova uNkulunkulu esebenzisa uBuntu

baKhe obabuyiqiniso loBunkulunkulu,ka-njalo wakhulula izingelosi nabantu,nokuyilapho ahlanganisa

khona noBuntu ba-Khe iqiniso loBunkulunkulu nokulunga koBunkulunkulu noma inhlakanipho yoBu-

nkulunkulu nokulunga koBunkulunkulu; kanjalo wabuyela eBunkulunkulwini ba-Khe ayekubo

kusukela phakade noBuntu baKhe obudunyisiwe futhi eseBuntwini

BaKhe obudunyisiwe. Konke lokhu yikho okushiwoyo ngalamazwi kuJohane:-

ULizwi wabe enoNkulunkulu,noNkulunkulu wabe enguLizwi. ULizwi waba yinyama (i.1,14);

kuye futhi uJohane:-

Ngaphuma kuBaba,ngize emhlabeni; futhi ngishiya umhlaba ngibuyela kuBaba (xvi.28);

nangalamazwi:-

3

Siyazi ukuthi iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ifikile,isinikile ukuqonda ukuze simazi oQinisileyo; sikuye

oQinisileyo,kuYo iNdodana yaKhe uJesu Khrestu.Lo unguNkulunkulu oqinisileyo nokuphila

okuphakade (1 Johane v.20).

Kulamazwi kuyachacha ukuthi ngaphandle kokuza kweNkosi emhlabeni,kakho umuntu

owayengasindiswa. Kusenjalo nanamhlanje; ngakhoke ngaphandle kokuza kweNkosi emhlabeni

okwesibili eyiqiniso loBunkulunkulu,eliyiZwi,kakho ongasindiswa.

[2222] IMINININGWANE YENKOLO OHLANGOTHINI LOMUNTU yile:-

(1) UNkulunkulu munye,kuYe kukhona ubuthathu boBunkulunkulu,iNkosi

UNkulunkulu uMsindisi uJesu Khrestu uyilowo Nkulunkulu.

(2) Inkolo esindisayo ngukukholwa kuYe.

(3) Ububi abumele ukwenziwa,ngokuba bungobukadevela,futhi buphuma

kudevela.

(4) Ukulunga kumele kwenziwe,ngokuba kungokukaNkulunkulu,futhi

kuphuma kuNkulunkulu

(5) Ukulunga kumele kwenziwe ngumuntu ngokusengathi kwenziwa nguye

;kodwa umuntu kumele akholwe wukuthi kwenziwa yiNkosi ikumuntu

ngomuntu

Imininingwane emibili yokuqala iphathelene nenkolo,emibili elandelayo ipha-thelene nesisa

senhliziyo,nowesihlanu uphathelene nokuhlangana kwesisa senhliziyo nenkolo,kanjalo nokuhlangana

kweNkosi nomuntu.

4. 4. 4. 4. Kusukela ngenkathi iNkosi isemhlabeni,iSonto loBukhrestu seledlule ema-bangeni

ambalwa,kuqala ebuntwaneni balo kuze kube sekugugeni kakhulu kwa-lo. Ubuntwana balo

zabaPhostoli:- Uphawuli wafakaza kubaJuda nakumaGreki ukuphendukela kuNkulunkulu nokukholwa eNko- sini yethu uJesu Khrestu (xx.21).

Kuyiqiniso eligqamile ukuthi ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezidlulile,iNkosi yabizela abafundi baYo

abayishuminambili ndawonye,manje sebeyizingelosi,yabathumela kulolonke izwe likamoya nomyalo

wokuba bashumayele ivangeli kabusha,nje-ngoba isonto elalimiswe yiYo ngabo lase liphele

kangangoba akusasele ngisho nomndondo walo; nalesisenzeko sokuthunywa kwabafundi kabusha

ezweni lika-moya senzeke ngoba ubuthathu boBunkulunkulu sebuhlakazwe baba ngabantu

abathathu,yilowo nalowo enguNkulunkulu neNkosi. [2222] Ngenxa yalokhu,amanwe-le mambe

asegasele ukholo nesonto lobuKhrestu elethiwa ngegama leNkosi. Lokhu kubizwa ngamanwele

ngoba imiqondo yabantu isiyasanganiswa yilemfu-ndiso kangangoba abantu abasazi noma

uNkulunkulu munye noma bathathu. Ngezindebe zomlomo bathi uNkulunkulu munye; kodwa

emcabangweni womqo-ndo bathi bathathu; ngalesisizathu umqondo nezindebe

zomlomo,okungukuthi, umcabango nenkulumo kuyaphikisana;nomphumela walokhu kuphikisana

nguku-thi kakho uNkulunkulu. Inkolo yemvelo,okuyiyona evame kakhulu namuhla,iphu-ma

UBUNYE BUKANKULUNKULU

5. 5. 5. 5. Njengoba ukuvuma ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona ngokusukela ekwazini ngaYe kuwuqobo

lwengqikithi nomnyombo wakhokonke okokholo,kudingekile ukuba ubunye bukaNkulunkulu kube yibo

obudingidwa ngabo kuqala. Lokhu kuzokho-njiswa ngokulandelana kwakho kulezizigaba

ezilandelayo:-

(1) Zonke ziphela iziBhalo eziNgcwele,kanye nezimfundiso ezisuselwe kuzo zamasonto ezwe

loBukhrestu,zifundisa ukuthi kukhona uNkulunkulu,nokuthi munye.

(2) Kukhona umngenela ovela kuNkulunkulu ezintweni zonke,ongena emi-phefumulweni

yabantu othi kukhona uNkulunkulu,nokuthi munye.

(3) Kulo lonke izwe akukho sizwe,esithi sinayo inkolo,futhi sinayo ingqondo ecabanga

iqondise,kepha besiphika ukuthi ukhona uNkulunkulu nokuthi munye.

(4) Mayelana nohlobo lwaKhe loNkulunkulu oyedwa,izizwe nabantu bayehlu-kana,nanamuhla

basahlukana ngenxa yezizathu ezithile eziningi.

(5) Ingqondo yobuntu ingase ikuzwe,ikuthole ngokusukela eziningi ezweni lemvelo ukuthi

ukhona uNkulunkulu,uma nje ithanda,nokuthi munye.

(6) Indalo yayingeke idalwe ilondolozwe ukuba uNkulunkulu wayengemunye.

(7) Umuntu ongavumiyo ukuthi ukhona uNkulunkulu uyakhishwa ebandleni alahlwe.

(8) Umuntu ongavumiyo ukuthi uNkulunkulu oyedwa ukhona,kepha evuma ukuthi

baningi,akukho lutho lweSonto olusala kuye lubekhona oluyisigxila.

Leziziphakamiso sezizochazwa ngayinye.

6666(1111) Zonke ziphela iziBhalo eziNgcwele kanye nezimfundiso ezisuselwe kuzo zamasonto

obuKhrestu emhlabeni, zifundisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona, nokuthi Munye. IziBhalo eziNgcwele

jikelele zifundisa ukuthi ukhona uNkulunkulu,ngoba ingaphakathi lazo alilutho olunye ngaphandle

kukaNkulunkulu uqobo,okunguku-thi,azilutho ngaphandle kobuNkulunkulu obuvela kuNkulunkulu;

ngokuba ziphi-nyiswe nguNkulunkulu; nokuthi akukho lutho olungaphuma kuNkulunkulu nga-

phandle kokuwuNkulunkulu nokubizwa ngokuthi okoBunkulunkulu. Lokhu kuyi- ngaphakathi

lweziBhalo eziNgcwele. Kepha ngokususelwe kulelingaphakathi futhi ngaphansi kwalo, iziBhalo

eziNgcwele ziyakwazi ukwemukeleka nokuqo-ndwa yizingelosi nabantu. UBunkulunkulu busuke

bukhona kulokho okususelwe eBuNkulunkulwini, kepha sebukwesinye isimo, lapho bubizwa khona

ngokuthi wubuNkulunkulu bezulu lamazulu,bezulu likamoya nobezulu lengqondo yamaba- la

(yemvelo). Lesisimo simane siyisembeso sikaNkulunkulu;ngoba akukho sida-lwa singabona

uNkulunkulu enjengoba enjalo engaphakathini leZwi. Ngokuba kuMose, ngesikhathi ethandaza

ecela ukuboniswa inkazimulo (udumo) kaJeho-

6

vah,kakho ongabona uNkulunkulu aphile. Lokhu kuyiqiniso elifanayo neqiniso lengaphakathi leZwi

lapho iNgqikithi neSimo kukaNkulunkulu uQobo kukhona ngokuphelele. [2222] Nokho-ke yize

uBunkulunkulu bungaphakathi futhi bembeswe

ngezinto ezingaqondeka ezingelosini nakubantu,ukukhanya kwabo kuphumela ngaphandle

njengokukhanya kwekhristali,kwemukeleke ngokwehlukehlukene okuya ngesimo sengqondo lowo

nalowo muntu asezakhele sona,noma ngabe yisimo esisuka kuNkulunkulu noma kuyena. Phambi

kwalabo abanesimo som-qondo esihlelwe ngokusukela kuNkulunkulu, iziBhalo eziNgqcwele zifana

nesi-buko lapho bebona khona uNkulunkulu;lowo nalowo ngendlela yakhe. Lesisibuko sakhiwe

ngamaqiniso umuntu awafunda eZwini maqede awenze abe awakhe ngokuwaphila. Kusukela kukho

konke lokhu, kusobala ukuthi iziBhalo eziNgqc-wele zinguNkulunkulu ephelele. [3333] Ukuthi iziBhalo

eziNgqcwele azifundisi nje kuphela ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona kepha nokuthi Munye,

kungabonakala ema-qinisweni okuyiwona akhe isibuko, njengoba sekushiwo, ukuthi (lamaqiniso)

akha isithombe esibumbene esenza ukuba ingabibikho indlela yokuba umuntu uma ecabanga

ngoNkulunkulu acabange ukuthi akaMunye. Ngenxa yalokhu wonke umuntu onomqondo

okhanyiselwe wubungqcwele beZwi uyazi, yize lolu-lwazi kuba sengathi luphuma ngaphakathi

kuyena,ukuthi uNkulunkulu Munye futhi ukubona kusakuhlanyahlanyana okuthile ukuthi akaMunyé.

Izingelosi ziye-hluleka ukuphimisa igama oNkulunkulu ngezindebe zazo ngoba isiyingi esiwu-

mkhathi wezulu lapho zihlala khona asizivumeli. IziBhalo eziNgqcwele azigcini ngokufundisa ukuthi

uNkulunkulu Munye ngalendlela eyenzeka kuwonkewonke, njengoba sekushiwo, kuphela, kepha

futhi ngezahlukwana ezithile eziningi nje-ngalezi:

Yizwani, O Israel; uJehovah uNkulunkulu wethu unguJehovah oyedwa (Duteronomi vi.4; noMika xii. 29).

Impela uNkulunkulu ukuwena, nangaphandle kwaMi akukho sithixo (Isa.xlv.14).

Anginguyena uJehovah na? Futhi asikho esinye isithixo ngaphandle kwaMi

(Isa.xlv.21)

NginguJehovah uNkulunkulu wakho,awuyikuvuma ukuthi kukhona esinye isithixo

ngaphandle kwaMi (Hosea xiii.4).

Uthi UJehovah,inkosi yakwaIsrael, ngingowamaQaliso namaGcino,akukho sithixo

ngaphandle kwaMi. (Isa.xliv.6).

Ngalolosuku uJehovah uyokuba yinkosi kuwowonke umhlaba ; ngalelolanga

uJehovah uyokuba munye, negama laKhe loba linye (Zakaria xiv.9).

7.7.7.7. Kuyaziwa ukuthi izimfundiso zamasonto asemazweni amaKhrestu zifundisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu

munye. Lokhu zikufundisa ngoba zonke izimfundiso zawo zisuselwa eZwini, nakangangebanga

lokuvuma ukuthi uNkulunkulu munye ngo-mlomo nangenhliziyo,lezizimfundiso ziyavumelana..Kulabo

abavuma ngezindebe zemilomo yabo kuphela,kodwa bebethi bathathu ngezinhliziyo, njengoba

kwenza abaningi abangamaKhrestu namhlanje, uNkulunkulu uyigama nje elilenga ezi-ndebeni

zomlomo;lonke ukholo lwabo luyisithixo segolide esivalelwe egunjini elingqcwele elinokhiye

ophathwa ngumfundisi kuphela; nokuthi uma laba befu-nda iZwi ababoni kukhanya kulo kumbe

okuvela kulo;ngisho nokuthi uNkulunkulu munye. Kulaba iZwi libukeka ligqcwele ukufiphala,

lifiphazwa amabala, kuthi mayelana nobunye bukaNkulunkulu limbozeke mbo. Yibo laba iNkosi

ebacha-zayo kuMathewu lapho ithi:

Ukuzwa niyawukuzwa kepha ningaze naqonda; nokubona niyakubona kepha ningaboni lutho. Amehlo abo

bawavalile, funa mhlawumbe babone ngamehlo abo, bezwe ngezi- ndlebe zabo,baqonde ngezinhliziyo

zabo,baphenduke, ngibasindise (xiii.14,15).

Bonke laba, bafana nabantu ababalekela ukukhanya,bengena ezindlini ezimnya-ma ngenxa

yokweswela amawindi,bephumputha izindonga,befuna ukudla kumbe imali, bagcine sebebona

njengezinyoni zasebusuku zonezibona emnyameni. Ba-fana nowesifazane onabakhwenyana

abaningi, ongeyena umfazi oqotho kodwa engumadod’onke; noma bafana nentombi-nto! eyemukela

izindandatho zazonke izesheli zayo, ithi ingashada maqede ingalali nomkhwenyana kuphela, kodwa

ilale futhi nabanye abantu.

8. ( 8. ( 8. ( 8. (2) Kukhona umngenela ovela kuNkulunkulu ezintweni zonke,ongena emi-phefumulweni

yabantu othi kukhona uNkulunkulu, nokuthi munye. Ukuthi kukho-na umngenela ovela kuNkulunkulu

ongena kumuntu kusobala ngokuvuma kwa-bobonke abantu ukuthi konke ukulunga okuwukulunga

uqobo, okukumuntu futhi akwenzayo,kuvela kuNkulunkulu;kanjalo yonke into eyisisa senhliziyo

nayo yo-nke into eyinkolo; ngoba uma sifunda kuthiwa:

Umuntu angemukele lutho ngaphandle kokuba aluphiwe luvele ezulwini (Johniii.27) ;

futhi uJesu wathi:

Ngaphandle kwaMi ningenze lutho (John xv.5) ;

okungukuthi, noma yini emayelana nesisa senhliziyo kanye nonkolo. Lomnge-nela ugobhozela

emiphefumulweni yabantu ngoba umphefumulo yiwona mongo womuntu nengxenye yomuntu

okuyiyona esezingeni eliphakeme kunazozonke;

8

umngenela-ke ungena kulengxenye bese wehlela ezintweni ezisemazingeni angezansi, ziphiliseke

kuya ngohlobo lwesikhongozelo. Kuyiqiniso ukuthi amaqi-niso abumba inkolo yomuntu angena

ngokuzwiwa, atshaleke emqondweni, nge-zansi komphefumulo. Kepha ngalamaqiniso umuntu

umane elungiselelwa ukuba akwazi ukwemukela umngenela ovela kuNkulunkulu ongaphezu

komphefumulo; kanjengohlobo lokulungiselelwa, kanjalo nanjengesimo sokwemukela, kanjalo futhi

nokuguqulwa kwenkolo yemvelo ibe yinkolo kamoya. [2][2][2][2] Kukhona lomnge-nela ovela kuNkulunkulu

ongena emiphefumulweni yabantu, weqiniso lokuthi uNkulunkulu munye , ngoba yonke into

ewuBunkulunkulu ngobubanzi nangobu-niningwane baBo, iwuNkulunkulu. Njengoba-ke bonke

uBunkulunkulu buhlange-ne buyinto eyodwa, nogqozi lwaBo kumuntu alukwazi ukuba yilutho olunye

nga-phandle kokuthi munye uNkulunkulu. Lengqondo yokuthi uNkulunkulu munye iya

ngokudlondlobala nsukuzonke lapho uNkulunkulu emphakamisa umuntu, empha -kamisela

ekukhanyeni kwezulu. Ngokuba izingelosi azikwazi ukuphimisa igama oNkulunkulu ngenxa

yokukhanya ezikukhona. Nokukhuluma kwazo, yonke imi-sho yazo ziyiphetha ngendlela efanayo

yokwehla nokwenyuka kwamaphimbo. Ayikho enye into ebangela lokhu ngaphandle komngenela

ongena emiphefumu-lweni yazo weqiniso lokuthi uNkulunkulu munye. [3] [3] [3] [3] Phezu kokuba lomngenela

ungena emphefumulweni yabantu neqiniso lokuthi uNkulunkulu munye, baningi abantu abacabanga

ukuthi uBunkulunkulu bukaNkulunkulu bahlukaniswe ka-mbalwa, kuthi leso naleso sigaba saBo

sibenengqikithi efanayo noma eyodwa; isizathu salokhu ngukuthi umngenela usuke ungena

esimweni esingahambisani nawo, lokhu phela umngenela uye uguqulwe yisimo salapho ungena

khona,nje- ngoba kwenzeka kuyoyonke indalo ekuzozontathu izigaba zemvelo.

KusewuNkulunkulu yena yedwa ophilisa umuntu kanye nesilwane; kepha yisimo sesilwane

sokukhongozela esibangela ukuthi isilwane siqhubeke nokuba yisilwane, kanjalo nomuntu aqhubeke

nokuba ngumuntu. Yinto efanayo eyenze-ka kumuntu uma evumela umqondo wakhe ukuba

sesimweni sobulwane. Umngenela welanga uyafana kuzozonke izinhlobonhlobo zemithi emilile,

kepha ufike wehlukahlukane kuya ngesimo sokwamukela salowo nalowomuthi; lokho okugobhozela

evineni kuyafana nalokho okugobhozela eveni; kepha uma kugxu-nyekwa iva phezu kwesivini,

umngenela (welanga) uyoguqulwa ungene ngokula-ndene nesimo seva. [4] [4] [4] [4] Yinto efanayo eyenzeka

endalweni yamatshe ayizinhlo-bonhlobo ambiwayo; wukukhanya okufanayo okungena etsheni le-

layimstoni nasetsheni le-dayimane; idayimane liyakudlulisa ukukhanya kepha ilaymstoni iyakucima.

Lomehluko uyenzeka nasemiqondweni yabantu, kuya ngalolo nalo-lohlobo lomqondo, eya ngokuya-

ngokuya iba ngekamoya kuya ngenkolo kuNku-lunkulu, ihambisana nokuphila okuvela

kuNkulunkulu, okuyilona luhlobo olukha-nyayo nolusangelosi lwenziwa yinkolo kuNkulunkulu

oyedwa.Okuphambene

nalenkolo nempilo yayo kuyadunga futhi kunobudlova bobulwane kwenziwa yi-nkolo koNkulunkulu

abaningi, okungehlukile kakhulu enkolweni yokuthi akekho uNkulunkulu.

9. (3) 9. (3) 9. (3) 9. (3) Ngalesisizathu, kulolonke izwe akukho sizwe,esithi sinayo inkolo, futhi sinayo ingqondo

ecabanga iqondise, kepha besiphika ukuthi ukhona uNkulu-nkulu futhi munye. Ngenxa yomngenela

wobuNkulunkulu emiphefumulweni ya-bantu, njengoba sekushiwo ngenhla, ngaphakathi kwawo

wonke umuntu kukho-na sanembeza okhumbuza ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona futhi munye. Kodwa

ku-sekhona abantu abaphika uNkulunkulu, abanye bakhonza imvelo bethi iyona uthixo, abanye

bakhonza onkulunkulu abangaphezulu koyedwa , nabanye aba-khonza izithombe ezibaziweyo;

okuyizinto ezenzeka ngenxa yokuthi abanjalo basuke sebevimbe ingaphakathi lemicabango kumbe

lemiqondo yabo ngezinto zomhlaba nangezinto zenyama, okuyizona ezicima umqondo wokuqala

omsulwa noma wasebuntwaneni mayelana noNkulunkulu. Ngokwenzenjalo balahla inkolo

esezifubeni zabo, bayiphose ngemuva kwabo. AmaKhrestu akhonza uNkulunku-lu oyedwa; kodwa

ukuthi amkhonza kanjani kucaciswa yisivumo sawo esipha-mbili, esithi :

Inkolo yamaKatolika yilena : Ukuthi sikhonza uNkulunkulu oyedwa ebuthathwini,

nobuthathu ebunyeni. Bathathu oNkulunkulu, uYise, iNdodana,noMoya oNgcwele, kodwa

nokho belu oNkulunkulu ababa-thathu, Munye. Kukhona isiqu sikaYise, kubekhona isiqu

seNdodana, nesinye isiqu sika Moya oNgcwele, nobunkulunkulu babo bunye, udumo lwabo

luyalingana, nobukhosi babo obaphakade kanyekanye. Kanjalo uYise nguNkulunkulu,

iNdodana nguNkulunkulu, noMoya oNgcwele unguNkulunkulu. Kodwa njengoba siphoqwa

yiqiniso lobuKhrestu ukuthi bonke banguNkulunkulu neNkosi ngamunye,kanjalo inkolo

yobuKatolika ayisivumeli ukuba sithi oNkulunkulu bathathu kumbe sithi amaKhosi mathathu.

Injalo-ke inkolo yobuKhrestu mayelana nobunye bukaNkulunkulu. Kodwa uku-thi ubuthathu

bukaNkulunkulu nobunye bukaNkulunkulu kulesisivumo akuhambi-sani kuzotshengiswa esahlukweni

esigxile ebuthathwini bobuNkulunkulu. [2] [2] [2] [2] Ezi-nye izizwe emhlabeni ezinenkolo nengqondo

ehluzekileyo ziyavumelana ngoku-thi uNkulunkulu munye; onke amaMoslem emibusweni yawo;

ama-Africa emibu-sweni yaleliya zwekazi; abase-Asia emibusweni yabo eminingi; ekugcineni na-

maJuda kuze kube nanamhlanje. Abantu basemandulondulo ababephila ngesi-khathi esaziwa

namhlanje ngokuthi yisikhathi segolide, enkolweni yabo babekho-nza uNkulunkulu oyedwa,

ababembiza ngokuthi nguJehova. Nababelandela oku-thiwa abasemandulo babenzenjalo, kwaze

kwafika isikhathi sokubekwa kwama-khosi nohulumeni bawo, lapho izintando zomhlaba nezintando

zenyama emuva

kwazo zaqala ukuvala lezo zindawo eziphakeme zomqondo ezazikade zivulekile, futhi zikade zifana

namathempeli namagosi angcwele okukhonza uNkulunkulu oyedwa. Ukuze kuvuleke lezizindawo

zomqondo kabusha yikhona kuzobuyisele-ka ukukhonza uNkulunkulu oyedwa, iNkosi uNkulunkulu

yamisa isonto phakathi kwezizukulwane zikaJakobe, wenza ukuba lomyalo ube ngowokuqala

phambi kwayo yonke enkolweni yazo ;

Ungabi nabanye onkulunkulu ngaphambi kwaMi ( Exod.xx.3 )

[3] [3] [3] [3] Ngaphezu kwalokho, igama Jehovah, elabuyiselwa nguYena ngalesisikha-thi, liqhamisa

uMvelinqangi yedwa, uMsuka wakho konke okukhona noma oku-semkhathini. UJove, okungenzeka

ukuthi yigama elisuselwa egameni Jehovah, wayekhonzwa ngamaqaba asendulo njengesithixo

esiphakeme kunazozonke; nezinye izithixo eziningi ezaziyingxenye yesigcawu sakhe, ayezihlonipha

ngoku-zigqokisa ngobungcwele; kwathi esizukulwaneni esilandelayo amadoda aqotho, njengo Plato

no Aristotle, avuma ukuthi lezi kwabe kungezona izithixo kepha kwabe kuwubunjalo

obehlukahlukene bemikhakha kaNkulunkulu oyedwa, bese-ke zibizwa ngezithixo ngoba kukhona

okuthile koBunkulunkulu kuzona zonke.

10. 10. 10. 10. Wonke umqondo ohluzekile,noma ngabe ungenandaba nenkolo, uyabona ukuthi yonke into

ebumbene ingahlakazeka ibe yizicucu uma ingencikile kokuko-dwa okuthile; njengoba kwenzeka

kumuntu, obunjwe yizinyama, yizicubu nezitho zemizwa nokunyakaza, ngaphandle kokuba zonke

lezizinto zencike emphefumu-lweni owodwa ; kumbe umzimba ngaphandle kokwencika enhliziyweni

eyodwa. Kunjalo nasembusweni ngaphandle kokwencika enkosini eyodwa; umuzi nga-phandle

komnumzane oyedwa; nakuzo zonke izikhundla ezinhlonhlobo emazwe-ni ngamazwe, ngaphandle

kokwencika kumphathimandla oyedwa. Yini engenzi-wa yimpi esitheni sayo ngaphandle kokuba

nomholi okunguyena onawo wonke amagunya, nabaphathizikhundla abencike kuye,kuyilowo nalowo

enamandla okukhuzïmpi ? Kungabanjalo nasesontweni uma lingavumi uNkulunkulu oyedwa, noma

izulu lezingelosi, lona elifana nekhanda lesonto lasemhlabeni, lapho pha-kathi kukho kokubili iNkosi

ingumphefumulo uqobo. Yingakho izulu nesonto kubi-zwa ngomzimba waKhe ; uma lokhu

kungavumi uNkulunkulu oyedwa kokubili kufana nesidumbu, okufanele sithathwe siyolahlwa ngoba

singenamsebenzi wa-lutho.

11. 11. 11. 11. (4) Mayelana nohlobo lwakhe lo Nkulunkulu oyedwa izizwe nabantu baye-hlukana,

nanamuhla basehlukana ngenxa yezizathu ezithile eziningi. Isizathu so-kuqala esokuthi ulwazi

nokuyilona oluholela ekuvumeni uNkulunkulu lungebe-khona ngaphandle kokwembulelwa; nolwazi

ngeNkosi,oluholela ekuvumeni uku-thi “kuYena kuhleli bonke uBunkulunkulu ngokuphelele

emzimbeni” lungebebi-kho ngaphandle kokususelwa eZwini okuyilona mqhele wezambulo; ngoba

ku-

11

ngenxa yokwembulelwa njengoba umuntu ekwazi ukusondela kuNkulunkulu, emukele

umngenela,khona ezosunduka esimweni semvelo angene kwesika-moya. Isambulo sakudaladala

sasikhona kuwo wonke umhlaba; kodwa saphe-ndukezelwa wumuntu wemvelo ngezindlela

eziningi,okuyikhona okwadala uku-phikisana, ukuphambana, izimfundiso-mbumbulu kanye

nokuqhekeka ngokwe-nkolo. Isizathu sesibili wukuthi umuntu wemvelo akanakumqonda

uNkulunkulu, kuphela unokuqonda umhlaba nokuwusebenzisa. Kungenxa yalesisizathu ukuthi

kungeminye yemibhalo ohlwini lemibhalo yeSonto lobuKhrestu ukuthi umuntu wemvelo uphambene

nomuntu kamoya, nokuthi bayaphikisana. Lokhu kuyacha-za ukuthi kungani labo abakufunde eZwini

kumbe kwesinye isambulo ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona bayehlukahlukana, nanamuhla

basahlukahlukana mayelana nobunjalo kanye nobunye bukaNkulunkulu. [2] [2] [2] [2] Ngalesisizathu labo

abamehlo abo engqondo ancike emizweni yabo yemizimba babezibazela izithombe zegolide,

zesiliva, zelitshe nokhuni ababekhonza uNkululunkulu ngaphansi kwazo njenge-zinto ezibonakala

ngeso lenyama ; kuthi abanye ababengenandawo yezithixo enkolweni yabo bazitholela izifanekiso

zikaNkulunkulu elangeni nasenyangeni, ezinkanyezini nakwezinye izinto ezahlukene emhlabeni.

Kepha labo ababecaba-nga ukuthi bona bahlakaniphile kunabantukazana kodwa bebenebe

emvelweni yabo, bethi ubukhulu nobundawozonke bukaNkulunkulu ekudaleni umhlaba bu-sho

ukuthi yimvelo uqobo lwayo ewuNkulunkulu, abanye bethi yingaphakathi la-yo,abanye bethi

yingaphandle layo eliwuNkulunkulu ; abanye,ukuze bahlukanise uNkulunkulu emvelweni, baqhamuka

nomqondo wobundawozonke obukhuluka-zi, abaqhubeka babubiza ngokuthi wubuKhona bomkhathi

(Ens universi); njengo-ba laba bengenalo olunye ulwazi ngoNkulunkulu lobubuKhona bugcina

bungu-mlumbaniso womqondo (ens rationis) obungasho lutho. [3][3][3][3] Wonke umuntu anga-bona

ukuthi ulwazi lomuntu ngoNkulunkulu luyisibuko sakhe sikaNkulunkulu,no-kuthi labo abangazi lutho

ngaYe abamboni esibukweni esibheke kubo kodwa esi-bukweni esibafulathele; kepha njengoba

ingemuva lesibuko licakwe ngesigidi kumbe ngenhlama emnyama asibonisi isithombe kodwa

siyasicima. Ukukholwa kuNkulunkulu kungena kumuntu ngendlela eyandulelayo, ephuma

kumphefumu-lo yehlele eziqongweni zomqondo; kuthi ulwazi ngoNkulunkulu lungene ngendle-la

elandela kamuva, ngoba umqondo uluthatha eZwini elambuliwe ulwazi,usebe-nzisa izinzwa

zomzimba ; lemingenela yomibili ihlangabezanake phakathi nenda-wo emqondweni ; lapho inkolo

yemvelo eseyintambiso iguquleka ibe ngekamoya ,okwenza ukukholwa kwempela. Kanjalo umqondo

womuntu ufana nesitsha so-kucwenga lapho uku guqulwa kwesimo kwenzeka khona.

12. 12. 12. 12. (5) Ingqondo yobuntu ingase ikuzwe, ikuthole ngokusukela ezintweni ezini-ngi emhlabeni

ukuthi ukhona uNkulunkulu nokuthi Munye. Leliqiniso lingaqinise-ka uma sibona izinto eziningi

ezibonakala ngeso lenyama kulomhlaba; ngoba um

12

-khathi ufana nesigcawu lapho ubufakazi bokuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona nokuthi Mu-nye benekwe

khona. Ukuze ngikhombise lokhu ngizolandisa ngoMlando oBalulekileyo wasezweni likamoya :

Kwake kwathi ngisakhuluma nezingelosi, kwaba khona imimoya ethile eyabe isanda kufika

ivela emhlabeni wemvelo. Uma ngibabona ngabazisa ukuthi bamu kelekile, ngase ngibaxoxela

ngezinto eziningi ngezwe likamoya abebengazange bazazi ngaphambili.

Ngemuva kwalokho ngababuza ukuthi lwazi luni abanalo ngoNkulunkulu na-ngemvelo abafike

nalo bephuma emhlabeni.

“Lokhu,“ baphendula, “ukuthi imvelo iyona indlu yamandla okusebenza zo-nke izinto

ezenzekayo emkhathini odaliwe; nokuthi uNkulunkulu, emuva kokuda-la, waphakela imvelo futhi

wayishiyela lawo mandla ; nokuthi uNkulunkulu umane uyawasekela awagcine lawomandla ukuze

angapheli; ngalesisizathu, zonke izi-nto eziphuma noma ezikhiqizwa wumhlaba, zande, sekuthiwa

manje zenziwa yimvelo.”

Kodwa ngaphendula ngathi akukho lutho emvelweni phaqa olungamandla okwenza kepha

uNkulunkulu esebenzisa imvelo. Base bebuza ubufakazi balo-kho,ngase ngithi, “ Labo abakholwa

wukuthi ukusebenza kobuNkulunkulu kukuyo yonke into yemvelo noma ingabancane kangakanani,

bathola ubufakazi obuningi ezintweni eziningi abazibonayo emhlabeni obuvuna uNkulunkulu

kunemvelo. [2] [2] [2] [2] Ngokuba labo abathola ubufakazi obuvuna ukusebenza koBunkulunkulu kuyo yonke

imvelo bakhangela izinto ezimangalisayo ezibonakala ekukhiqizweni kwe-zinto ezimilayo nezilwane.

Ekukhiqizweni kweziLimo bayakubukisisa ukuthi embewini encane etshalwe emhlabathini kuhluma

impande,empandeni kuhlume isiqu, kulandele amagatsha, amaklumu, amahlamvu, izimbali,

nezithelo, ngisho nembewu entsha imbala sengathi imbewu ibivele ilwazi uhlelo lohlu noma indlela

yokuzithuthukisa ukuze izikhiqize. Wumuntu ohluzeke kanjani emqondweni ongacabanga ukuthi

ilanga,eliwumlilo ongaxutshwe nalutho,liyakwazi ukwenze-nje,noma ukuthi lingakwazi ukuphakela

ukushisa nokukhanya kwalo amandla okukhiqiza lezizenzeko,nokudlinza ngosizo lwalezizenzeko

ngaphambi kokwe-nzeka? Noma wubani omqondo wakhe ubheke phezulu,uma ebona lezizinto

agxile ngomcabango ngazo, akakwazi ukuthatha esinye isinqumo ngaphandle kokuthi lezizinto zivela

kulowo onokuhlakanipha okungenasiphelo, kafuphi, ku-Nkulunkulu. Kulesisinqumo,labo ababona

ukusebenza koBunkulunkulu kuyo yonke imininingwane yemvelo, bayaqiniseka uma bebuka

lezizinto. Engxenye, labo abangakuboni lokhu kusebenza emvelweni babuka lezizinto ngamehlo

omqondo osesiphundu esikhundleni sangaphambili.Laba babumba imicabango yabo yomqondo

ngezinzwa zomzimba, baziqinise ngenkohliseko yezinzwa,bethi, ’ Awuliboni ilanga likwazi ukwenza

zonke lezizinto ngokushisa nangokukhanya

13

kwalo? Kukhona yini okuwutho okungabonakali ngeso lenyama? [3] [3] [3] [3] Labo aba-qiniseka

ngokusebenza koBunkulunkulu babukisisa izinto ezimangalisayo aba-zibona ekuKhiqizweni

kweZilwane; mayelana namaqanda (ake siqale ngawo), imbewu yechwane iqukethe konke

okudingekayo ekukhandweni kwechwane, nokudingekayo ukuze likhule ngemuva kokuchanyiselwa

lize libe yinyoni ephe-lele. Futhi, kunoma yimuphi umqondo ojulayo, kuvuka ukumangala lapho

ubuka kabanzi izilwane ezinamaphiko; njengokuthi zombili ezincane kunazozonke nezi-nkulu

kunazozonke, ezibonakalayo nezingabonakali, okuwukuthi izinambuzane ezincane kakhulu nezinyoni

ezinkulu kanye nezilwane kunezitho zezinzwa,ezibi-zwa ngokuthi inzwa yokubona ,inzwa yokunuka,

inzwa yokuzwa (ngolimi) nenz-wa yokuthinta; kubuye kubekhona izitho zokuhamba,eziyimisipha

ngoba ziya-ndiza zihambe;nezibilini ezixhumene nenhliziyo namaphaphu okuhanjiswa wu-buchopho.

Zonke lezizinto ziyabonwa yilabo abanika imvelo wonke amandla, bese bethi yebo lezizinto

ziyenzeka kodwa zikhiqizwa yimvelo. Lokhu bakusho ngoba izingqondo zabo sebezifulathelise kukho

konke ukucabanga ngoNkulu-nkulu; futhi laba uma bebuka izinto ezimangalisayo emvelweni,

abakwazi uku-dlinza ngazo ngokuhluzekile , asisakhulumi ngokudlinza ngokukamoya;kepha

bacabanga ngokusukela ezinzweni zenyama nasezintweni ezibonakala ngeso lenyama; kanjalo

badlinza emvelweni ngokusukela emvelweni,esikhundleni so-kudlinza ngokusukela kokungaphezu

kwemvelo;umehluko phakathi kwalaba nezilwane wukuthi bona baphiwa umqondo, ngamanye

amazwi,bayakwazi uku-qonda uma bethanda. [4] [4] [4] [4] Labo asebefulathele uNkulunkulu ngayo yonke

imica-bango yabo baze bagxila enyameni nezinto zayo, abakucabangi nakancane ukuthi ukubona

kweso lenyama kubuthuntu futhi kunqundeke kangangoba ku-bona izinambuzane eziningi ziyinto

eyodwa engacacile; kanti yileso naleso si-hlelelwe ukuzwa nokuhamba, kanjalo saphiwa imisipha

nemithambo,nenhlizi-ywana enemthanjanyana,nezibilanyana nobuchoshanyana; lezizithwanyana

zona zibunjwe ngezingqikithi zemvelo ezicwebe kunazozonke,nendlela ezithu-ngeke ngayo

ihambisene nezinga lempilo eliphansi kunawowonke okuyiyona ephaka amandla kuzozonke

izicutshanyana.Uma sibheka ukunqundeka kwame-hlo ethu enyama lapho izinambuzane eziningi

ezinjengalezi,kuyileso naleso sine-zitho ezingabalwa, zibukeka sengathi ziyizinto ezincanyanyana

ezifanayo ezi-ngacacile, kepha kube kusukela kulo leliso lapho abagxile enyameni becabanga

benquma, kusobala ukuthi imiqondo yabo ibuthuntu kangakanani, nokuthi base-bumnyameni

obunjani ngezinto zikamoya.

[5] [5] [5] [5] “Noma ubani uyakwazi, uma ethanda, ukuthola ubufakazi obuvuna uBu-nkulunkulu

ezintweni zemvelo ezibonakala ngeso; lokhu kwenzeka noma nini uma ecabanga ngoNkulunkulu

nobuninimandla baKhe ekudaleni umkhathi,no-bundawozonke baKhe

ekuwugcineni;njengokuthi,kesenze isibonelo,uma ebona

ukuthi ezinyonini zezulu yilolo nalolo luhlobo luyakwazi ukudla kwalo nokuthi lutholakala phi,luyazazi

izihlobo ngokuzibona nangomsindo wazo,naphakathi kwezinye izinhlobo luyaziukuthi yiziphi

izitha,yiziphi abangane; ukuthi (izinyoni) ziyakwazi ukukhwelana,ukubumba imishado,ukwakha

izidleke ngobuciko,ukufa-ka amaqanda phakathi ziwachamusele, nokuthi isikhathi sokuwafukamela

side kanganani;nalapho amatshwele esechanyuselwe unina uwathanda kakhulu, awembese

ngamaphiko akhe, awondle awakhulise, aze akwazi ukuziphandela adlondlobale. Uma noma ubani

ethanda ukucabanga ngomngenela woBunku-lunkulu ogobhozela ezweni likamoya udlulele ezweni

lemvelo,angawubona kule-zizilwanyana; angakwazi futhi ukusho enhliziyweni yakhe, uma ethanda,

ukuthi ilanga alikwazi ukuba ngumsuka walolulwazi ngokushisa nangokukhanya kwalo, ngoba ilanga

okuyikhona lapho imvelo nengqikithi yayo ivela khona,lingumlilo ongaxutshwe nalutho,ngalesisizathu

ukushisa nokukhanya kwalo kufanele ukuthi akunayo nencane impilo; kanjalo angaze afike

esinqumweni sokuthi lolulwazi lu-vela kumngenela woBunkulunkulu ludlule ezweni likamoya luze

luyofika emaphe-thelweni emvelo.

[6] [6] [6] [6] “Noma wubani angabuthola ubufakazi obuvuna uBunkulunkulu ezintweni ezibonwayo

zemvelo uma ebuka leyo miswenya enyakaziswa yinjabulo yotha-ndo olungajwayelekile lokufuna

ukuguqula isimo sayo semvelo sibe yisimo esithi asifane nesezulu. Ukuze isimo sayo (imiswenya)

siguquke iyanabuzela ingene ezindawaneni eziphephile, izimboze ngesembatho, kanjalo izivalele

esizalweni-simbe lapho izozalwa khona kabusha; lapho-ke ikhula ibe yiziphungumangathi,

yiziyingelezi*, amanimfu* igcine isiyizimvevane;emuva kwaloluguquko,nangemu-va kokuhlinzekwa

ngamaphiko kanokusho kuya ngenhlobo yalowo nalowo mswenya,(izimvevane) ziyasuka zindizele

emoyeni sengathi zindizela ezulwini lazo lapho zifike zidlale khona ngenjabulo,zishadane,zizalele

amaqanda, ziziza-lele isizukulwane,zibe zizitika ngokudla okumnandi nokunomsoco ezimbalini.

Ubani obona ubufakazi obuvuna uBunkulunkulu ezintweni zemvelo ezibonwa ngamehlo kodwa

angakuboni ukufana phakathi kwesimo somswenya nesimo somuntu esesemhlabeni,kanjalo isimo

sovemvane nesimo somuntu esesezu-lwini? Labo asebeziqinise ngokuvuna imvelo babuka into

efanaya,kepha ngoba sebesiphikile isimo sezulu somuntu emicabangweni yabo bathi lokhu kumane

ku-yinto eyenziwa yimvelo.

[7] [7] [7] [7] “Noma ubani angathola ubufakazi obuvuna uBunkulunkulu ezintweni zem-velo ezibonakala

ngeso uma ecabanga ngokwaziwayo ngezinyosi,ukwazi kwazo

ukuqoqa umovu ezimbalini zamarosa nakumiqhakazo, ukumunca uju, ukwakha amagunjana afana

nezindlwana, ukuwahlela (lamagunjana) njengenxuluma,eli-nemigwaqo yokungena neyokuphuma;

ukuhogela zikude izimbali nemithi lapho ziqoqa khona umovu wezindlu zazo noju lokudla

kwazo,ezikuthwala maqede

15

zindize ziqonde-ngqo emzini wazo. Ngalendlela zizihlinzekela ubusika ngokudla sengathi bezivele

zazi ukuthi ubusika buyeza. Izinyosi zibuye zijube ezoba yinko- sikazi eyindlovukazi phezu kwazo,

okuyiyona ezozizalela isizukulwane; (indlovu-kazi) ziyakhela igumbi lobukhosi phezu kwazo,

ziyizungeze ngabalindi. Uma se-kufika isikhathi sokuzala, iphelekezelwa abalindi bayo ababizwa

ngokuthi onodo-ngoyi,indlovukazi ihamba ingena emagunjaneni izalela amaqanda maqede aba-

phelekezeli bawavalele hlwàse, funa alinyazwe umoya. Kanjalo isizukulwane esi-sha siyazalwa;

uma lesisizukulwane sesikhule safika ebangeni lokuzizalela,siya-xoshwa enxulumeni, bese iqulo

elisha, ngemuva kokuhlangana libumbane funa ledukelane,liyandiza liyozifunela elayo

ikhaya.Ngesikhathi sasekwindla onodo-ngoyi,njengoba bona bengazange basize ekuqoqeni umovu

noma uju,baholelwa ngaphandle bephucwe amaphiko abo yikhona

bengeke babuye bazokudla uku-dla abangakusebenzelanga. Kusukela kulokhu

nakokunye,kuyabonakala ukuthi ngenxa yosizo ezinalo kubantu emhlabeni, lezizinambuzane

zemukela ngomnge-nela ophuma ezweni likamoya uhlobo lokuhulumeni olufana nalolu olutholakala

kubantu emhlabeni, nembala olufana nalolo olukhona ezingelosini zamazulu. [8] [8] [8] [8] Muntu muni

onengqondo ehluzekileyo ongaboni ukuthi umhlaba wemvelo awu-kwazi ukuba ngumsuka wakho

konke lokhu? Yini eselangeni,lapho kuvela khona phela imvelo, ekunye nohulumeni oncintisana futhi

ofuze uhulumeni wasezulwini kangaka? Kusukela kulezizinto nakwezinye ezikhonjiswa yizilwane,

lowo ovuma akhonze imvelo uyaziqinisa ekuvuneni imvelo; kepha lowo ovuma akhonze

uNkulunkulu uziqinisa ngazo lezizenzeko ekuvuneni uNkulunkulu;ngoba umuntu kamoya ubona

izinto zikamoya kulezizinto,kanti umuntu wemvelo ubona ezem-velo,kanjalo kuya ngaleso naleso

similo.Kweyami ingxenye,lezizinto beziwubu-fakazi kimina bokuthi ezweni likamoya kukhona

umngenela osuka kuNkulunkulu wehlele ezweni lemvelo. Nawe ake umane uzindle,ukuthi

ungakwazi yini ukuhla-ziya noma yiluphi uhlobo lukahulumeni, lomthetho wezakhamizi, kumbe

ngokuzi-phatha ngobuqotho, noma ngaliphi iqiniso likamoya,ngaphandle kokuqala ngoku-vuma

ukuthi kukhona umgobhozo wobuhlakani woBunkulunkulu owedlulela ez-weni likamoya. Ngakolwami

uhlangothi,angikwazi (ukuhlaziya),futhi angibonaze. Sekuphele iminyaka engamashumi amabili

nesithupha ngiwunakile lomngenela ngokuwuqonda nangokuwuzwa; ngakhoke ngikhuluma ngento

engiyaziyo.

[9] [9] [9] [9] “Imvelo ingakwazi yini ukuhlosa usizo, ilungise izinsizo ngokuzihlela na-ngobuhlobo?

Ohlakaniphile kuphela ongakwenza lokhu;uNkulunkulu kuphela,

onhlakanipho yaKhe kayinamkhawulo, ongahlela abumbe umkhathi. Ubani omu-nye ongabona

kungakenzeki ukuthi umuntu uyodinga ukudla nezingubo bese emhlinzeka—ngokudla kwezitshalo

zamasimu, ngezithelo zokuzimilela, nange-zilwane;nangezembatho ezenziwa ngalezizinto?

Kuyingxenye yalezizimangaliso ukuthi icimbi elinganakekile elibizwa ngokuthi yicimbi likasilika

ligqokisa lihlobise

16

abesifazane nabesilisa ngendlela encomeka kakhulu,ligqokisa izindlovukazi na-makhosi nezisebenzi

zesifazane nezesilisa imbala; nokuthi isinambuzane esi-nganakekile njengenyosi ikhiqiza umovu

owenza ukuba izimbhaqana ezenza amathempeli nezigodlo zobukhosi kucwebezele. Konke

lokhu,nokunye,kuwubu-fakazi obunqumayo ngokuthi kusukela kuNkulunkulu,kwedlulele ezweni

likamoya kusebenze zonke izinto ezenzeka emvelweni.

[10] [10] [10] [10] “Kukho konke lokhu ake ngengeze ngokuthi sengike ngabona ezweni li-kamoya labo

ababeziqinisa ngemvelo ngenxa yokubuka ngeso lemvelo (lenya-ma) besesemhlabeni sebevune

imvelo baze baphika nokuthi uNkulunkulu imbala ukhona ; nokuthi ekukhanyeni kwasezweni

likamoya imiqondo yalaba ibonakala ivuleke ngaphansi,kodwa ivaleke ngaphezulu, ngesizathu

sokuthi babebheke phansi emhlabeni ngemicabango yabo, okuphambene nokubheka ezulwini. Nge-

nhla kwezinzwa zabo zenyama, okuyizona ezakhe amaphethelo asezansi omqo-ndo,kwabonakala

sasembeso esithile esinyazima ngomlilo wesihogo, abanye sengathi banentshede, nabanye

abagqunqise okwezidumbu. Ngakhoke wonke umuntu kufanele akuxwaye lokhu ukuziqinisa

ngokuvuna imvelo;makaziqinise ngokuvuna uNkulunkulu;ubufakazi abuswelekile.’’

13 13 13 13 (6) Ukuba uNkulunkulu akamunye indalo yayingeke idalwe futhi ilondo-lozwe.Ubunye

bukaNkulunkulu bungakhonjiswa ngokudalwa komkhathi,ngoba umkhathi uwumsebenzi obumbene

ngokusebenza kwawo kusukela ezintweni zokuqala kuze kube yizinto zokugcina,futhi zincike

kuNkulunkulu oyedwa njengo-mzimba oncike kumphefumulo wawo.Umkhathi wadalwa ngalendlela

yikhona uNkulunkulu engakwazi ukuba ndawozonke kuwo,akwazi ukuhlanganisa futhi aqondise

zonke izingxenye zawo ngaphansi komthetho waKhe ngendlela enga-nqamuki,okuwukuwulondoloza.

Futhi, ngenxa yalokhu uJehovah uNkulunkulu usho nokusho:

Ukuthi Yena ungama-Qaliso nama-Gcino, isiQalo nesiPhetho, u-Alpha no-Omega

(Isa.xliv.6; Isamb.i. 8, 17).

Nakwenye indawo:

Ukuthi Yena wenza konke, weneka amazulu ngaphezulu,endlale umhlaba Yedwa

(Isa.xliv.24).

Loluhlelo olubanzi kangaka olubizwa ngokuthi umkhathi luwumsebenzi obumbe-ne ngokusebenza

kusukela ezintweni zokuqala kuya ezintweni zokugcina, ngoba ekuwudaleni uNkulunkulu

wayenenhloso eyodwa, kwakuyizulu lezingelosi elisu-selwa kubantu; futhi-ke zonke izinto umhlaba

owakhiwe ngazo zingamasu okufe-za lokho;njengoba lowo onenhloso ufuna namasu okufeza leyo

nhloso. [2] [2] [2] [2] Nga-

17

khoke, noma ubani obona umhlaba ungumsebenzi oqukethe amasu okufeza uyakwazi ukubona

indalo ewumkhathi iwumsebenzi ohlangene njengento eyo-dwa,nokubona ukuthi umhlaba uwuphico

(lwamasu) oluhlelwe ngokwelamana kosizo lwalo,inhloso kuwusizo kubantu (okuyibona izulu

lezingelosi lakhiwa ngabo). Uthando lobuNkulunkulu lungehlose lutho olunye ngaphandle kokubusi-

seka kwabantu,umthombo wakho (ukubusiseka) kuwuYe;nenhlakanipho yaKhe yobuNkulunkulu

ingesungule lutho ngaphandle kwemisebenzi engamasu okufe-za leyonhloso.Ekukhangeleni

umhlaba ngalendlela yokuqonda kabanzi (ngoku-jwayelekile) bonke abantu abaqotho bangakuqonda

ukuthi uMdali womkhathi Munye,nokuthi ingqikithi yaKhe wuthando nenhlakanipho; ngalesisizathu

kunge-bebikho kuyo (ingqikithi), ngisho imininingwane ingaba mincinci kangakanani, lapho

kungekho khona okuwumsebenzi owusizo kumuntu,noma ngabe luyabo-nakala noma lufihlekile—

ukudla okuyizithelo zomhlaba,nokuphuma ezilwaneni, nezembatho ezikhiqizwa yilezizinto. [3] [3] [3] [3] Kwaze

kwamangalisa ukuthi icimbi lika-silika elinganakekile likwazi ukugqokisa lihlobise ngendlela

encomekayo abesi-fazane nabesilisa ngosilika, kusukela kuzindlovukazi nakumakhosi kuya ezise-

benzini zesifazane nezesilisa; nokuthi isinambuzane esingasho lutho njengenyo-si sikwazi

ukuhlinzeka ngesibumbatha (umovu) sokucwazimulisa imibhoshongo yama thempeli nezigodlo

(izindlu zamakhosi). Labo abacubungula imininingwane yezinto ezimbalwa emhlabeni,esikhundleni

sokubuka ukuhlobana kabanzi kwezi-nto,njengezinhloso,amaqhinga okufeza izinhloso nezifezo

uqobo,benjalo-nje ba-buye bangakufumani ukuthi indalo ivela othandweni loBunkulunkulu

ngenhlaka-nipho yoBunkulunkulu, abakwazi ukubona ukuthi umkhathi ungumsebenzi ka-Nkulunkulu

oyedwa,nokuthi Yena uhlala phakathi kwayo yonke into ewusizo ngoba uhlala ezifezweni. Ngokuba

ngasosonke isikhathi lowo osenhlosweni umele abesemaswini,njengoba inhloso iyingaphakathi lawo

wonke amasu okufe-za leyonhloso,iwaqhuba futhi iwaqondisa. [4] [4] [4] [4] Labo abangawuthathi umkhathi

njengomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu nokuthi uyilapho kuhlala khona uthando nenhla-kanipho

yoBunkulunkulu,kodwa bawuthathe njengomsebenzi wemvelo lapho kuhlala khona ukushisa

nokukhanya kwelanga, bavala izindawo eziphakeme zemiqondo yabo bevimbela uNkulunkulu,

bavule ezingezansi bevulela udevela, ngenxa yalokhu bakhumula ubuntu bagqoke ubulwane,

bangagcini ngokucaba-

nga ukuthi bafana nezilwane, kepha babe yizo (izilwane) uqobo lwazo. Ngokuba baba

yizimpungushe ngobuqili, babe yizimpisi ngobudlovadlova, yizinhlosi ngo-

zungu,yizingwe ngonya, nezingwenya,nezinyoka,nezikhova nezinye izinyoni zasebusuku

ngokwehlukahlukana kobunjalo kwazo.Futhi,ezweni likamoya labo abanjalo bafana nazo lezizilwane

zasendle uma bebuqamama. Uthando lwabo lobubi luzitshengisa kanjalo.

(7) Lowo ongavumi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona uyaxoshwa ebandleni alahlwe.

18

Noma ubani ongakholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona uyakhishwa ebandleni le-sonto ngokuba

uNkulunkulu uYena umnyombo wesonto; nezinto zaKhe ezipha-thelene nolwazi lobunjalo baKhe

yizona ezenza isonto;ngalesisizathu ukuphika uNkulunkulu kuwukuphika zonke izinto ezimayelana

nesonto; yilokhu ukumphika okuyikhona okukhipha umuntu esontweni; kanjalo umuntu kakhishwa

nguNkulu-nkulu,kepha uzikhipha yena. Ungolahliweyo-ke ngoba okhishwe esontweni

Ungokhishiwe nasezulwini;njengoba isonto emhlabeni nezulu lezingelosi kwenza into eyodwa,

njengengaphakathi nengaphandle noma isimo sikamoya nesimo semvelo kumuntu; futhi umuntu

wadalwa nguNkulunkulu ukuba abe sezweni lika-moya ngengaphakathi lakhe kodwa abe sezweni

lemvelo ngengaphandle lakhe; ngalendlela umuntu wadalwa ukuba abe ngowomdabu kuwo

womabili amazwe, ukuze okukamoya nokungokwasezulwini kungatshalwa kokungokwemvelo,no-

kungokomhlaba,njengembewu itshalwa emhlabathini; ukuze futhi umuntu agxi-liseke kuze kube

phakade. Umuntu osezikhiphe yena esontweni kanjalo nase-zulwini ngokuphika uNkulunkulu usuke

esehluthulele ubuntu bakhe bangapha-kathi ngokwentando nangokobunene bayo; ngokuba intando

yomuntu iyisitsha sothando lwakhe nalapho ihlala khona. Kepha akakwazi ukuvalela umuntu wa-

ngaphakathi ngokuqonda ngoba ukuba ubengakwazi ukwenza njalo, lokho bekuzoqeda ukuba

wumuntu. Nokho uthando lwentando yakhe luyayihunga ingqondo ngamanga ngisho namazinga ayo

aphakeme imbala; ngalesisizathu amaqiniso enkolo nokulunga kwesisa senhliziyo avaleleka

ngaphandle kwe-ngqondo; kuye ngokuya kuvaleleke uNkulunkulu nazo zonke izinto zikamoya

zesonto. Ngalendlela umuntu uyavaleleka ebudlelwaneni nezingelosi zezulu, uma-ke esevaleleke

ezulwini kanjalo, ungena ebudlelwaneni nosathane base-sihogweni, acabange njengabo; bonke-ke

osathane bayamphika uNkulunkulu, nemicabango yabo ngoNkulunkulu nezinto zikamoya zesonto

iwubulima (ubu-wula) ; nomuntu-ke osexhumene nalabosathane ucabanga kanjalo. [3] [3] [3] [3] Uma

lomuntu esesimweni sakhe sikamoya, njengalapho ezizindlela yedwana,uyazi-khandla ukuba

imicabango yakhe iholwe wubumnandi bobubi namanga aseza-khele khona waze wakumilisa

ngaphakathi kuyena; bese ecabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu kakho, kepha (uNkulunkulu) yigama nje

elisakazwa e-pulpiti ukulu-tha abantu abangazi lutho ukuba bagcine imithetho

yobulungisa,okuyimithetho

yomphakathi. Futhi lomuntu ucabanga ukuthi iZwi okuyilona abefundisi beshu-mayela ngokusukela

kulona, alilutho ngaphandle kwembumbuthela yamaphupho aseguqulwe abangcwele ngabaphathi

bambe, nemiyalo eyishumi kumbe ukuzi-buzisisa (catechism) akulutho ngaphandle kwencwajana

edinga ukulahlwa emu-va kokugugiswa wukuphathwa yizandla zabafanyana, njengoba ifundisa

ukuthi abazali kufanele bahlonishwe, yenqabele ukubulala, ukuphinga, ukweba nokufa-kaza

amanga; ubani-ke ongekufunde lokho emithethweni kahulumeni ? Ucaba-

19

nga ukuthi isonto lingumbuthano wabantu abangahlakaniphile, abasheshe ba-kholwe

nabanezingqondo ezibuthakathaka ,ababona izinto abangaziboni. Uca-

banga ukuthi umuntu, naye njengoba engumuntu, uyafana nesilwane, nokuphila kwakhe emuva

kokufa kufuze ukuphila kwesilwane emuva kokufa kwaso. [4] [4] [4] [4] Lo-muntu ucabanga kanje

ngengaphakathi lakhe , noma angakhuluma okwehluke kanganani ngomlomo,okuyingaphandle

lakhe. Ngokuba, njengoba sekushiwo, umuntu unengaphakathi nengaphandle; yingaphakathi lakhe

okuyilona umuntu, okuwukuthi umoya wakhe okunguwona ophila ngemuva kokufa; kuthi ingapha-

ndle lakhe, akwazi ngalo ukuzenzisa ukulunga kwenhiziyo, lingcwatshwe ethu-neni; bese kuthi

ngenxa yokuphika uNkulunkulu lomuntu kube olahliwe. Maqo-ndana nomoya womuntu, wonke

umuntu uhlanganiswe nemimoya efana naye ezweni likamoya, abe munye nayo. Kuvamile ukuba

ngivunyelwe ukubona emi-phakathini yasezweni likamoya imimoya yabantu besaphila

emhlabeni,abanye emiphakathini yezingelosi nabanye besemphakathini yasesihogweni futhi ngi-xoxe

nayo kuze kuphele izinsuku; futhi kungimangalisile ukuthi umuntu yena kazi lutho ngalokhu esaphila

emzimbeni wakhe wemvelo. Ngalendlela ngacaciselwa ukuthi lowo ophika uNkulunkulu usuke

esevele ekwabalahliwe ezweni likamoya, nokuthi emuva kokufa uhlangana nabanjengaye.

15. 15. 15. 15. (8) Umuntu ongavumiyo ukuthi kukhona uNkulunkulu oyedwa, kepha evuma ukuthi baningi,

akukho lutho lweSonto olusala kuye lubekhona oluyisi-gxila. Lowo ovumayo ngenkolo yakhe futhi

ekhonza uNkulunkulu oyedwa nge-nhliziyo yakhe, kanye-kanye usenhlanganisweni yabalungileyo

emhlabeni nase-nhlanganisweni yezingelosi ezulwini. Lezi zibizwa ngokuthi “yizinhlanganiso” ,

nembala yizinhlanganiso ngoba zikuNkulunkulu oyedwa noNkulunkulu oyedwa ukuzona.

Nangaphezu kwalokho, zixhumene nalo lonke izulu lezingelosi, futhi ngingasho nokusho ukuthi

zixhumene nazo zonke izakhamizi zase zulwini ngoba zonke (izakhamizi) zifana nezingane

nesizukulwane esifuze ubaba oyedwa nge-zimilo, ngemikhuba nangokubukeka, okwenza ukuba

zazane lapho zihlangana. Izulu lezingelosi lihlelwe ngemiphakathi evumelanayo ngazo zonke

izinhlobo zothando lokulunga, futhi lezizinhlobo zothando zimile othandweni-nqangi,oku-wuthando

lokuthanda uNkulunkulu; okuyilona thando okuzalelwa kulo bonke abanenkolo evuma futhi

ngezinhliziyo bekhonza uNkulunkulu oyedwa, onguMdali

womkhathi, nonguMsindisi noMguquli. Kepha isimo sehluke kakhulu kulabo aba-vuma futhi

bakhonze onkulunkulu esikhundleni soyedwa, nakulabo abakhuluma ngoyedwa bebecabanga

ngabathathu, njengoba kwenza labo abasesontweni namhlanje ngokucaza uNkulunkulu bamenze

abantu abathathu bese begomela ukuthi yilowo nalowo unguNkulunkulu ngokwakhe, bese bepha

lowo nalowo Nku-lunkulu isimo noma ubunjani obungafani nobabanye. Kulokhu kuqubuka ukuhla-

kazeka kobunye buka Nkulunkulu nolwazi olumayelana naYe, nokuhlakazeka

20

kokucabanga okuyikhona okuthwele ulwazi ngezinto zikaNkulunkulu.Yini-ke

enye engalandela lokhu ngaphandle kokudideka nokungezwakali kwezinto zeso-nto? Ukuthi lokhu

kuyisimo sesonto namhlanje kuzokhonjiswa kwi-Sengezo salo-msebenzi. Iqiniso wukuthi ukucazwa

kukaNkulunkulu,noma ingqikithi yobuNkulu-nkulu kube ngabantu abathathu,yilowo nalowo abe

nguNkulunkulu ngokwakhe, kugolomba ukumphika uNkulunkulu. Kufana nokuba umuntu ezongena

ethempe-lini ezokhonza, abese ebona izithombe ezidwetshiwe zeyeme etafuleni elibekwe ngaleya

kwe-althare,esinye sikhombisa uNkulunkulu wama-Ndulo,esinye sikho-mbise uMphristi oPhakeme,

nesesithathu sikhombise u-Eolus ondizayo,kwase kulotshwa ngezansi ukuthi: ” Laba abathathu

bawuNkulunkulu oyedwa ” ; noma kufana nokubona lapho ubunye nobuthathu bukhonjiswe

njengomuntu onama-khanda amathathu phezu komzimba owodwa, noma ikhanda elilodwa phezu

kwemizimba emithathu,okwakungaba yisimanga esesabekayo. Uma umuntu onalomqondo

engangena ezulwini, nomakanjani angakhishelwa ngaphandle ngokuphulukundlela noma angasho

agomele ukuthi ikhanda kumbe amakhanda asho ingqikithi,nomzimba kumbe imizimba isho ubunjalo

bayo obahlukahlukene.

16. 16. 16. 16. Kulokhu ngizokwengeza ngalokhu okuBalulekileyo :-

Ngabona abanye ababesandukufika ezweni likamoya bephuma ezweni lemvelo bexoxa

ngoNkulunkulu baphakade kusukela phakade. Babekade beyiziphaka-nyiswa zesonto, omunye

wabo wayekade engumbhishobhi.

Basondela kimi;ngemuva kokukhulukhuluma ngezwe likamoya, okuyinto ababengazi lutho

ngayo ngaphambili,ngathi, “nginizwile nikhuluma ngoNkulu-nkulu abathathu bangunaphakade;ngicela

ukuba keningichazele lemfihlakalo ngokusukela ekuyiqondeni kwenu nisaphila ezweni lemvelo lapho

nisanduku-phuma khona ”.

Lapho umbhishobhi wangibheka wathi, “ngiyabona ukuthi ungumuntu-nje ongajulile, ngakhoke

ngizokwenekela imiqondo yami ngalemfihlakalo,futhi ngi-zokufundisa. Ukuyiqonda kwami lendaba

bekuwukuthi, namanje kusewukuthi, uNkulunkulu uYise, noNkulunkulu iNdodana, noNkulunkulu

uMoya oyiNgcwele bahleli emongweni wezulu ezihlalweni ezikhazimulayo eziphakeme noma zobu-

khosi—uNkulunkulu uYise esihlalweni segolide elingaxutshwe nalutho, nentonga

yobuKhosi esandleni saKhe; uNkulunkulu iNdodana, esandleni sokudla saKhe, esihlalweni sesiliva

elicwebe kanawowonke amasiliva, nomqhele ekhanda; uNkulunkulu uMoya oyiNgcwele,eduze

kwabo,esihlalweni setshe elibenyezela-yo,ephethe ijuba ngesandla sakhe;bese bekakelezelwa

ngezibani ezilengayo ezihlelwe ngemigqa emithathu ngokulandelana,nokukhanya kwazo

kucwazinyu-liswa ngamatshe amahle kakhulu; bese kuthi bude-buduze nalesisiyingi kukhona

izingelosi eziningi,zonke zikhonzafuthi zibonga ngokuhlabelela; futhi okunye, wu-kuthi uNkulunkulu

uYise ngasosonke isikhathi uhlala ekhuluma neNdodana ya-

21

Khe ngalabo okufanele bavunyelwe (basindiswe), bobabili bese behlulela futhi banqume ukuthi

obani emhlabeni abafanele ukungeniswa ezingelosini baphiwe ukuphila kwaphakade;uNkulunkulu

uMoya oyiNgcwele-ke Yena , esezwile ukuthi bangobani-ke labo asebekhethiwe, uyaphangisa

ukwehlela kubona lapho bekho-na emhlabeni ebaphathele izipho zokulunga eziyizimpawu eziningi

zokusindiswa kwabo; ngomzuzu lapho esondela kubona, ebaphefumulela, uhlakaza izono za-

bo,njengeventiletha (i
