UHezekile 33:1-33 1 Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi, 2 Nyana womntu, thetha koonyana babantu bakowenu, uthi kubo, Xa ndithe ndalizisela ilizwe ikrele, abantu belizwe bathabatha indoda yasezindaweni zabo, bayimise ukuba ibe ngumlindi wabo: 3 Ukuba uthe, akubona ikrele lisiza elizweni, wavuthela isigodlo, wabalumkisa abantu; 4 Ke umntu othe waliva isandi sesigodlo, akasiva isilumkiso, ukuba lithe lafika ikrele, lamthabatha, igazi lakhe loba phezu kwentloko yakhe. 5 Ulivile ixilongo, akalunyukiswa; igazi lakhe malibe phezu kwakhe; ke yena owamkela isilumkiso uya kusindisa umphefumlo wakhe. 6 Kodwa ukuba umlindi ubona ikrele lisiza, akavuthela ixilongo, abantu abalumkiswa, ukuba ikrele liza, lithabathe umntu phakathi kwabo, uya kususwa ngenxa yobugwenxa bakhe; kodwa igazi lakhe ndiya kulibiza esandleni somlindi. 1
7 Wena ke, nyana womntu, ndikumisile ukuba ube ngumlindi kwindlu kaSirayeli; ngoko ke woliva ilizwi emlonyeni wam, ubalumkise bona kum. 8 Xa ndisithi kongendawo, Wena mntu ungendawo, uya kufa ngenene; ukuba awuthethi ukuba umlumkise ongendawo endleleni yakhe, loo mntu ungendawo uya kufa ngenxa yobugwenxa bakhe; kodwa igazi lakhe ndiya kulibiza esandleni sakho. 9 Kodwa ukuba uthe wamlumkisa ongendawo ngendlela yakhe ukuba abuye kuyo, kodwa akabuyi endleleni yakhe, uya kufa ngenxa yesono sakhe, kodwa wena uwuhlangule umphefumlo wakho. 10 Ke ngoko, nyana womntu, yithi kwindlu kaSirayeli, Nitsho ukuthi, Ukuba izikreqo zethu nezono zethu ziphezu kwethu, sonakale kuzo, singathini na ke ukuphila? 11 Yithi kubo, Ndihleli nje, itsho iNkosi uYehova, andinakuvuyela ukufa kongendawo; kumnandi kum ukuba ongendawo abuye endleleni yakhe, aphile; buyani, buyani ezindleleni zenu ezimbi; kutheni na ukuba nife, ndlu kaSirayeli? 12 Ke ngoko, nyana womntu, yithi koonyana babantu bakowenu, Ubulungisa bomntu olungileyo abuyi kumhlangula ngomhla wokreqo lwakhe; ububi bomntu ongendawo abuyi kukhubeka ngabo ngomhla wokubuya kwakhe ebubini bakhe; nomntu olungileyo akayi kukwazi ukuphila ngobulungisa bakhe ngomhla wokona kwakhe. 13 Xa ndisithi kwilungisa, ngokuqinisekileyo liya kuphila; ukuba likholose ngobulungisa balo, lenze ubugwenxa, zonke izenzo zalo zobulungisa aziyi kukhunjulwa; kodwa ngenxa yobugwenxa balo elibenzileyo, liya kufa ngenxa yabo. 14 Ndakuthi ke kongendawo, Inene, uya kufa; ukuba uthe wabuya esonweni sakhe, wenza okusesikweni nobulungisa; 15 Ukuba ongendawo ubuyisela isibambiso, abuyisele oko akuphangileyo, ahambe ngemimiselo yobomi, angenzi bugwenxa, uya kuphila, akayi kufa. 16 Akukho nasinye sezono zakhe azenzileyo esiya kukhankanywa kuye; wenze okusesikweni nobulungisa; inene, uya kuphila. 17 Bathi ke oonyana babantu bakowenu, Indlela kaYehova ayilungelelene; ke bona, indlela yabo ayilungelelene. 18 Xa ilungisa libuya ebulungiseni balo, lenze ubugqwetha, liya kufa ngabo. 19 Ke ukuba ongendawo uthe wabuya ebubini bakhe, wenza okusesikweni nobulungisa, uya kuphila ngenxa yoko. 20 Kanti nithi, Indlela yeNkosi ayilungelelene. Ndiya kunigweba, elowo ngokweendlela zakhe, ndlu kaSirayeli. 21 Kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi elinesibini wokuthinjwa kwethu, ngenyanga yeshumi, ngomhla wesihlanu wenyanga, kwafika umntu osindileyo eYerusalem, esithi, Isixeko sitshatyalalisiwe. 22 Isandla sikaYehova saba phezu kwam ngokuhlwa, ngaphambi kokuba kufike osindileyo; wawuvula umlomo wam, wada wafika kum kusasa; umlomo wam wavuleka, andaphinda ndaba sisidenge. 23 Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi, 24 Nyana womntu, abemi kuloo manxuwa ezweni lakwaSirayeli batsho ukuthi, UAbraham wayemnye, walidla ilifa ilizwe; ke thina sibaninzi; ilizwe silinikiwe ukuba libe lilifa lethu. 25 Ngako oko yithi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Nidla into enegazi, niphakamisele amehlo enu kwizithixo zenu, niphalaze igazi; 26 Nimi phezu kwekrele lenu, nenza amasikizi, ningcolisa elowo umfazi wommelwane wakhe; nolidla ilifa na ke ilizwe? 27 Yithi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ndihleli nje, abo basezinkangala baya kuwa ngekrele, nalowo usendle ndiya kumnikela ezilwanyanani ukuba adliwe, nabo basezinqabeni nasemaweni baya kufa yindyikitya yokufa. 28 Ngokuba ndiya kulenza ilizwe libe yinkangala kakhulu, neqhayiya lamandla alo liya kuphela; neentaba zakwaSirayeli ziya kuba yinkangala, kungabikho bani udlulayo kuzo.

29 Baya kwazi ukuba ndinguYehova, ndakulenza ilizwe libe yinkangala kakhulu, ngenxa yamasikizi abo onke abawenzileyo. 30 Wena ke, nyana womntu, oonyana babantu bakowenu basathetha ngawe ngasezindongeni nasezingcangweni zezindlu, bathetha omnye komnye, elowo nomzalwana wakhe, besithi, Khawuze, uve ukuba lithini na ilizwi eliphuma kuYehova. 31 Beza kuwe njengokuza kwabantu, bahlale phambi kwakho njengabantu bam, beve amazwi akho, kodwa abawenzi; kuba ngomlomo wabo babonakalisa uthando olukhulu, kodwa intliziyo yabo ilandela inkanuko yabo. 32 Kwaye, yabona, kubo unjengomculo omnandi kakhulu womntu onelizwi elimnandi, nokwaziyo ukudlala kakuhle uhadi; ngokuba bayaweva amazwi akho, kodwa abawenzi. 33 Kothi ke xa oku kusenzeka, (yabona, kuza kwenzeka), bazi ukuba bekukho umprofeti phakathi kwabo.

Iivesi 1–3: Imeko. UThixo uchaza indlela eqhelekileyo yamandulo: xa isixeko sisengozini yokuhlaselwa, abemi bakhetha indoda ukuba ime eludongeni.

Ukuba umntu owayelilungisa ngokwembali uthembela kwizenzo zakhe ezilungileyo zangaphambili aze aguqukele esonweni, ubulungisa bakhe bexesha elidlulileyo abuyi kumsindisa. Ukuba umntu owayekade engendawo ngokwembali uyaguquka, abuyisele impahla ebiweyo, aze ahambe ngokwemimiselo kaThixo, izono zakhe zangaphambili ziyalityalwa. Ngokuqinisekileyo baya kuphila.

" Oku kuzalisekisa yonke into uHezekile awayeyixele kwangaphambili kangangeminyaka. Ivesi 22: Umlomo KaHezekile Wavuleka. Ngobusuku bangaphambi kokufika kosindileyo, isandla sikaThixo sasiphezu kukaHezekile waza wavula umlomo wakhe. Kude kube ngoku, uHezekile wayebethwe ngendlela engaphaya kwendalo " esisimumu ," ekwazi ukuthetha kuphela xa uThixo emnika isiprofeto esithe ngqo (Hezekile 3:26-27).

UThixo uyaphendula ngokubonisa izono zabo eziqhubekayo: ukutya inyama enegazi, unqulo-zithixo, nokuphalaza igazi. Uyabuza, "niya kulidla ilifa na ilizwe?" Iivesi 27–29: Ukuphanziswa Okupheleleyo. UThixo uthembisa ukuba abo bazimela emanxuweni, emiqolombeni, nasemasimini avulekileyo baya kufa ngekrele, ngamarhamncwa asendle, nangamashwangusha.

Iivesi 30–32: Ukuzonwabisa vs. Ukuthobela. UThixo ulumkisa uHezekile ukuba abantu bathetha ngaye ngasemva kwakhe baze bamemane besithi “Yizani, ndithandaze, nive ukuba lithini na ilizwi eliphuma kuYehova.” Nangona kunjalo, bamphatha uHezekile njengomculi weengoma zothando onelizwi elimnandi . Bathanda ukumamela amazwi akhe njengokuzonwabisa, kodwa abananjongo yokuwasebenzisa kuba iintliziyo zabo zinobugovu. Ivesi 33: Ubungqina Obupheleleyo.

Ukusetyenziswa kweTestamente eNtsha kweNgcinga yoMlindi ITestamente eNtsha itshintsha indima yomlindi ukusuka kumprofeti omnye weTestamente eNdala ukuya kumfundisi wamaKristu, iinkokeli zecawa, kunye namakholwa abelana ngeVangeli. 1. Uxanduva loMphathiswa (Abefundisi neeNkokeli) KwiTestamente eNtsha, iinkokeli zebandla zichazwa njengabalindi bokomoya abamele baphendule kuThixo ngemiphefumlo engaphantsi kwabo. Hebhere 13:17: "Bathobeleni abo banikhokelayo, nize nibathobele; kuba bona balinda imiphefumlo yenu , njengabo bamele ukuphendula..." Ukusebenza: Abefundisi banoxanduva oluqinileyo lokushumayela inyaniso epheleleyo—kuquka izilumkiso ngesono nomgwebo—kunokuba bashumayele nje imiyalezo emnandi, efana nokuphendula kukaHezekile. 2. Ukuzikhusela kukaPawulos "ngezandla ezicocekileyo" Umpostile uPawulos wasebenzisa ulwimi lukaHezekile ngokucacileyo ukuchaza umsebenzi wakhe wobuvangeli. Xa wayehlukana nabadala base-Efese, wathi: IZenzo 20:26–27: "Kungoko ke ndininika ubungqina namhlanje, bokuba ndimsulwa egazini labo bonke abantu . Kuba andizifihlanga ukunixelela lonke icebo likaThixo." Ukusebenza: UPawulos wayesazi ukuba ngenxa yokuba wayeshumayela iVangeli ngokuthembeka waza walumkisa wonke umntu awayedibana naye, wayephumelele “ekuhlanguleni umphefumlo wakhe” ngendlela echazwe kuHezekile 33:9. 3. Ubizo Lokuba Sesilumkweni Ngokomoya (Bonke Abakholwayo) Igama lesiGrike elidla ngokuguqulelwa ngokuthi “linda” okanye “qaphela” ( gregoreo ) lisetyenziswa rhoqo nguYesu nabapostile, nto leyo eyandisa ingqondo yomlindi kuwo onke amaKristu. UMarko 13:37 (umyalelo kaYesu): " Kwaye oko ndikutshoyo kuni ndikutsho kubo bonke, Lindani . "

1 Petros 5:8: "Yibani nobungcathu, phaphani ; ngokuba umchasi wenu, uMtyholi, uhamba njengengonyama egqumayo, efuna ubani angamginyayo." Ukusebenza: Amakholwa eTestamente eNtsha abizelwe ukuba ngabalindi phezu kobomi bawo, iintsapho zawo, kunye noluntu lwawo—ukuhlala ephaphile kwinkohliso yokomoya kunye nokubuya kwesibini kukaKristu.
