Nine nanitimisele lokubi ngami; kodvwa Nkulunkulu loko wakugucula kwaba ngulokuhle, entela kutsi ngalesikhatsi kusindziswe bantfu labanyenti, bangabulawa yindlala.
2 Samuweli 16:10 - Siswati 1996 Bible Inkhosi yaphendvula yatsi: “Ningenelana ngani nami, nine madvodzana aSeruya? Nangabe acalekisa, ngobe kushito Simakadze kutsi akangicalekise, ngubani lonelilungelo lekumbuta atsi: ‘Ukwentelani loku?’ ” |
Nine nanitimisele lokubi ngami; kodvwa Nkulunkulu loko wakugucula kwaba ngulokuhle, entela kutsi ngalesikhatsi kusindziswe bantfu labanyenti, bangabulawa yindlala.
Davide waphendvula watsi: “Ngihlangana ngani mine nani, nine madvodzana aSeruya? Kantsi lamuhla senigucuke naba titsa tami? Kufanele yini lamuhla kutsi kube khona lobulawako ka-Israyeli? Angati yini kutsi lamuhla ngimi inkhosi yaka-Israyeli?”
Lamuhla mine nome sengigcotjiwe, kodvwa angikacini, lamadvodzana aSeruya atidlova. Shangatsi Simakadze angamkhokhisa lomubi ngetento takhe letimbi!”
Lomfelokati wakhuluma ku-Elija, watsi: “Ngoneni kuwe, muntfu waNkulunkulu? Kantsi lapha kami utele kutangikhumbuta sono sami, ubulale nendvodzana yami.”
“Manje-ke, uyati kutsi Jowabe, umsa waSeruya, wentani kimi, nekutsi wentani kuletindvuna temphi letimbili bo-Abneri, umsa waNeri, na-Amasa, umsa waJetheri. Wababulala, wacitsa ingati yabo, kwaba shangatsi ngusemphini, kantsi bekusikhatsi sekuthula. Ngaleyo ngati yabo wabhoca ngayo libhande lakhe elukhalweni kanye neticatfulo takhe.
Ngetulu kwaloko nje, kantsi lapha ngitele kutawuhlasela nekubhubhisa lendzawo ngaphandle kwaSimakadze yini? Simakadze nguye cobo lwakhe longitjele kutsi angishuce ngite kulelive ngitekulibhubhisa.’ ”
Nakukhona lamhlwitsako, ngubani longaba nemandla ekummisa? Ngubani kona longambuta atsi: ‘Wentani?’
Ngubani longakhuluma, ente kwenteke, nangabe Simakadze angakakumiseli kutsi kube njalo?
Tonkhe tive temhlaba titsatfwa njengelite. Wenta njengobe yena atsandza kuwo emandla asezulwini nakuto tive temhlaba. Kute namunye longavimbela sandla sakhe, nome atsi kuye: ‘Sewenteni?’
Jesu wagucuka watsi kuPhetro: “Suka kimi, Sathane! Usitsikameti kimi, ngobe awukuboni lokukwaNkulunkulu, kodvwa ubona kwebantfu!”
Bamemeta batsi: “Sinamsebenti muni nawe, Ndvodzana yaNkulunkulu, sewutele kutesivisa buhlungu yini sikhatsi sisengakefiki?”
Jesu watsi kuPhetro: “Buyisela inkemba yakho esikhwameni sayo! Kantsi angisete ngayinatsa yini lendzebe yelusizi lengiyinikwe nguBabe?”
Kodvwa-ke wena muntfu-ndzini, ungubani kutsi ungaphikisana naNkulunkulu? Ludziwo lungasho yini kumbumbi walo kutsi: “Wangibumbelani kanje?”
Kwatsi etfukwa, wangete waphindzisela ngenhlamba; kwatsi ahlushwa, wangete wasongela. Kodvwa watinikela kuNkulunkulu lowehlulela ngekulunga.
Nkhosi! Inkhosi yami ayilalele emavi enceku yayo. Nangabe nguSimakadze lokutjotjotele kutsi ungibulale, kulungile-ke, akawutsatse lowo mnikelo. Kodvwa noko nangabe loko kwentiwe bantfu, ababe ngulabacalekisiwe kuSimakadze! Manje sebangikhiphile eveni lekusabelo sami, efeni laSimakadze, batsi: ‘Hamba uyewukhonta labanye bonkulunkulu.’
