kodwa wenzile okubi kunabo bonke ababe phambi kwakho , wahamba wazenzela abanye onkulunkulu nezithombe ezibunjiweyo ukungivusa u kuba ngithukuthele, wangilahla nyovane,

UNkulunkulu umisile abathile ebandleni , kuqala abaphostoli , okwesibili abaprofethi, okwesithathu abafundisi, bese kuba yimisebenzi yamandla, bese kuba yiziphiwo zomusa zokuphulukisa , nokusiza, nokubusa, nezilimi ngezilimi.

Kepha yilowo nalowo ngesigaba sakhe : uKristu kuqala , bese kuba ngabangabakaKristu ekufikeni kwakhe,

Kepha okokuqala akusikho okomoya kodwa okwemvelo ; bese kuba ngokomoya.

Manje, Jehova Nkulunkulu wethu , ake usisindise esandleni sakhe u kuba yonke imibuso yomhlaba yazi ukuthi wena Jehova unguNkulunkulu , yebo, wena wedwa.

Anginayo intokozo enkulu kunaleyo yo kuba ngizwe ukuthi abantwana bami bahamba eqinisweni.

U-Abimeleki indodana kaJerubali waya kuba fowabo bakanina, wakhuluma kubo nomndeni wonke wendlu kayise kanina, wathi:

Ngokuba ukuthukuthela kwakhe kuba ngokomzuzwana nje , umusa wakhe uba ngowokuphila konke; kusihlwa kungena ukukhala, ekuseni ukujabula.

Ingelosi yesikhombisa yayisibetha ; kwase kuba khona amazwi amakhulu ezulwini athi : Umbuso wezwe usungoweNkosi yethu nokaKristu wayo ; iyakubusa kuze kube phakade naphakade.

Kwase kuvulwa ithempeli likaNkulunkulu elisezulwini , kwabonakala umphongolo wesivumelwano sakhe ethempelini lakhe ; kwase kuba khona imibani, namazwi, nokuduma, nokuzamazama komhlaba , nesichotho esikhulu.

Kwase kuba khona ukulwa ezulwini ; uMikayeli nezingelosi zakhe balwa nodrako. Nodrako walwa enezingelosi zakhe,

Amandla onke esilo sokuqala siyawenza phambi kwaso . Siyenza u kuba umhlaba nabo bonke abakhileyo kuwo bakhuleke kuso isilo sokuqala esingozi yaso yelashwa.

Kwase kuba khona imibani , namazwi, nokuduma, kwaba khona nokuzamazama okukhulu komhlaba okungazange kube khona okunjalo , selokhu kwaba khona abantu emhlabeni , ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu kangaka.

Neyesithathu yathululela isitsha sayo emifuleni nasemithonjeni yamanzi , kwase kuba yigazi.

Akusayikuba khona nokukodwa ukuqalekisa . Isihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu neseWundlu siya kuba kuwo , nezinceku zakhe ziyakumkhonza,

Ingelosi yayisithabatha isitsha sempepho , yasigcwalisa ngomlilo wase - altare, yasiphonsa emhlabeni ; kwase kuba khona ukuduma , namazwi, nemibani, nokuzamazama komhlaba. Izingelosi eziyisikhombisa zimi phambi kukaNkulunkulu ziphethe amacilongo. Ezine zokuqala ziyabetha amacilongo

Eyokuqala yayisibetha; kwase kuba khona isichotho nomlilo kuxutshaniswe negazi, kwaphonswa emhlabeni ; okwesithathu komhlaba kwasha kwaqothuka, nokwesithathu kwemithi kwasha kwaqothuka , nabo bonke utshani obuluhlaza basha baqothuka.

wathi u kuba afike , abone umusa kaNkulunkulu , wathokoza, wabayala bonke ukuba banamathele eNkosini ngokuzimisela inhliziyo.

u-Abrahama wamabela okweshumi kukho konke yena ogama lakhe lithi kuqala ukuhunyushwa kwalo inkosi yokulunga , bese kuba yinkosi yaseSalema, okungukuthi inkosi yokuthula,

Ngokuba ngiya kuba nesihawu ngokungalungi kwabo , nezono zabo angisayikuzikhumbula.

Ngakho mina siboshwa eNkosini ngiyanincenga u kuba nihambe ngokufanele ukubizwa enabizwa ngakho,

Wathi kuyo : Ngizakukwahlulela ngomlomo wakho wena nceku embi . Ubuwazi u kuba ngingumumtu olukhuni , ngithabatha engingakubekanga , ngivuna engingakuhlwanyelanga;

Kungaba yihora lesithupha kwase kuba mnyama emhlabeni wonke , kwaze kwaba yihora lesishiyagalolunye;

Kwathi u kuba zimuke kubo izingelosi ziya ezulwini , abelusi bakhuluma bodwa, bathi: Asihambe manje , size sifike eBetlehema , sibone leyo nto eyenzekileyo iNkosi esazisile yona.

Abesehamba-ke, abuye nabanye omoya abayisikhombisa ababi kunaye , bangene bahlale khona ; kuthi ukugcina kwalowo muntu kuba kubi kunokuqala. Kuyakuba njalo nakulesi sizukulwane esibi. Izihlobo eziyizo zikaJesu (Mark. 3:31; Luk. 8:19)

Ngokuba umcindezeli akasayi kuba khona , nesideleli siyakube singasekho , nabo bonke abazulumba ububi bayakube beqothuliwe,

Bese kuba ngokomuntu ukuba abase ngakho ; uthatha kuwo , othe; uyawuphemba, enze isinkwa ; wenza unkulunkulu , akhuleke kuye , enze nesithombe esibaziweyo, akhothambele kuso.

Wogcina umkhosi wamadokodo izinsuku eziyisikhombisa emva ko kuba usubuthile okwesibuya sakho nokwesikhamo sakho sewayini,

ukuba igazi elingenacala lingachithwa phakathi kwezwe lakini akunika lona uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho libe yifa lakho, bese kuba yigazi phezu kwakho.

Nase niphendula , nithi kimi : S onile kuJehova ; siyakukhuphuka silwe njengakho konke asiyala ngakho uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu . Nabhincisa, kwaba yilowo nalowo izikhali zakhe zokulwa ; kwase kuba lula kini ukuba nikhuphukele entabeni.

U-Abrahama wathi kuye : Qaphela u kuba ungayibuyiseli khona indodana yami.

Ngokuba njengalokhu ibhande linamathela okhalweni lomuntu , kanjalo ngiyinamathelisile kimi yonke indlu yakwa -Israyeli nayo yonke indlu yakwaJuda, usho uJehova , U kuba babe ngabantu bami , negama, nodumo, nendumiso, kepha kabalalelanga. Izimvaba ezaphukileyo

Ngokuba mina nginawe , usho uJehova , U kuba ngikusindise , ngokuba ngiyakuqeda ngokupheleley o zonke izizwe engikuhlakazele kuzo , kepha wena angiyikukuqeda , kodwa ngiyakukulay a ngokwahlulela, ngingakwenzi ube ngongenacala.

Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Nina aningilalelanga u kuba nimemezele ukukhululeka, kube yilowo nalowo kumfowabo , yilowo nalowo kumakhelwane wakhe ; bhekani, sengiyanimemezela ukukhululeka , usho uJehova, nginikhululele inkemba , nesifo, nendlala, nginenze ukuba nihlupheke emibusweni yonke yomhlaba.

Ilanga nenyanga kuba mnyama, izinkanyezi zisusa ukukhanya kwazo.
