Ubuchule Bokulawula - Ulawulo Lwezopolitiko Ileta ka-Aristeas Ukumkani wafumana impendulo ngokuvuma waza wabuza komnye, 'Yeyiphi eyona mfanelo ibalulekileyo yokulawula?' 'Ukugcina umntu,' waphendula, 'engenasinyobo, kwaye aqhelisele ukungazingci ngexesha elininzi lobomi bakhe, ukuhlonela ubulungisa ngaphezu kwezinto zonke, nokwenza abahlobo babantu abanjalo. Kuba noThixo, naye, ungumthandi wobulungisa! Ileta kaAristeas 8:12-13 Ukumkani wabonisa isivumelwano sakhe waza wathi komnye, 'Iyintoni intsingiselo yobukumkani?' Waza waphendula wathi, 'Ukuzilawula kakuhle kwaye ungalahlekiswa bubutyebi okanye udumo ukuya kwiminqweno engafanelekanga okanye engafanelekanga, le yindlela yokwenyani yokulawula ukuba ucingisisa kakuhle ngale nto. Kuba konke okudingayo ngokwenene kungokwakho, kwaye uThixo akanalo uxanduva kwaye akanabubele. Iingcinga zakho mazibe zezokuba yindoda, unganqweneli izinto ezininzi kodwa zizinto ezifunekayo kuphela ekulawuleni! Ileta ka-Aristeas 8:15-16 Ngosuku olulandelayo, kwagcinwa ilungiselelo elifanayo, kwaye xa ukumkani wafumana ithuba lokubuza amadoda imibuzo, wabuza owokuqala kwabo babesele bephandwe imibuzo elandelayo, wathi, "Luluphi uhlobo oluphezulu lorhulumente?" Waza waphendula wathi, 'Ukuzilawula kwaye ungatsalwa ziinkanuko. Kuba bonke abantu banengqondo ethile yendalo. Kusenokwenzeka ukuba uninzi lwabantu luthanda ukutya, ukusela kunye nokuzonwabisa, kwaye ookumkani bathanda ukufumana umhlaba kunye nodumo olukhulu. Kodwa kulungile ukuba kubekho ukulinganisela kuzo zonke izinto. Ileta ka-Aristeas 8:26-27 Ukumkani wamamkela ngobubele loo ndoda waza wabuza olandelayo ukuba aphendule umbuzo othi, angakuphepha njani ubomi obulula nobumnandi? Waza waphendula wathi, 'Ukuba wayehlala ekhumbula ukuba wayengumlawuli wobukumkani obukhulu kunye nenkosi yezihlwele ezinkulu, nokuba ingqondo yakhe ayifanele ukuba ixakeke zezinye izinto, kodwa, kufuneka ahlale ecinga ngendlela anokuyiphucula ngayo impilo-ntle yazo. Kufuneka athandaze kuThixo ukuba kungabikho msebenzi ungahoywayo.' Ileta ka-Aristeas 9:17-18 ...'Umntu angazigcina njani ekuzikhukhumaleni?' Waphendula wathi, 'Ukuba ugcina ukulingana aze akhumbule ngamaxesha onke ukuba ungumntu olawula abantu. Kwaye uThixo uyabathoba abazidlayo, aze abaphakamise abathobekileyo nabathobekileyo! Ileta ka-Aristeas 9:45-46 Ukumkani wathi nalo mntu uthethe kakuhle, waza wabuza olandelayo, esithi, Ngubani esifanele simmisele njengabalawuli? Waza waphendula wathi, 'Bonke abathiya ububi, nabaxelisa ukuziphatha kwenu, benza okulungileyo ukuze bahlale benodumo oluhle rhoqo.
