Nkulunkulu unatsi, yena ungumholi wetfu. Baphristi bakhe labaphetse emacilongo abo batakuwashaya, khona sitekulwa nani. Madvodza aka-Israyeli, ningalwi naSimakadze, Nkulunkulu waboyihlo, ngobe ningeke niphumelele.”
Jeremiya 32:5 - Siswati 1996 Bible Iyawutsatsa Sedekiya imyise eBhabhulona, lapho ayawuhlala khona ngize ngimcondzise, kusho Simakadze. Nanilwa nemaBhabhulona ngeke niphumelele.’ ” |
Nkulunkulu unatsi, yena ungumholi wetfu. Baphristi bakhe labaphetse emacilongo abo batakuwashaya, khona sitekulwa nani. Madvodza aka-Israyeli, ningalwi naSimakadze, Nkulunkulu waboyihlo, ngobe ningeke niphumelele.”
Ngako Moya waNkulunkulu wehlela kuZakhariya, umsa waJehoyada, umphristi. Wasukuma wema embikwesive watsi: “Naku lokushiwo nguNkulunkulu, utsi: ‘Aniyilaleli ngani imiyalo yaSimakadze? Ngeke niphumelele. Njengobe nimfulatsela Simakadze, naye sewunifulatsele.’ ”
Kuhlakanipha kwemuntfu, nekucondza kanye nemyalo longiwo sibili kungeke kukusite, nangabe kucondzene nekumelana naSimakadze.
Nawe utawusuka kuleyo ndzawo, utawusuka ujabhile, ngobe Simakadze sewubalahlile labo bewukadze ubetsemba, bangeke bakusite ngalutfo.”
‘Tiyawutsatfwa tiyiswe eBhabhulona, lapho tiyawuhlala khona, kuze kube ngulelo langa lengiyawufika ngalo ngitilandze. Ngiyawube sengiyatitsatsa-ke ngitibuyisele kulendzawo yato,’ kusho Simakadze.”
“Buka-ke kutsi takhiwe njani tindvundvuma tekuvimbetela lelidolobha lize litfunjwe. Ngenca yenkemba, nendlala kanye nesifo lesibulalanako lelidolobha selitawunikelwa etandleni temaBhabhulona lalihlaselako. Loko lowakusho sekwentekile, njengobe ubona nje.
nabalwa nemaBhabhulona, utsi: ‘Tiyawugcwala tidvumbu temadvodza lengitawabulala ngentfukutselo nangelulaka lwami. Ngiyawulifihlela buso bami elidolobha ngenca yabo bonkhe bubi balo.
Ngisho nome benitayeyisa yonkhe imphi yebaseBhabhulona lenihlaselako, kusale kuphela nje tinkhubela temadvodza lapha emathendeni awo, betitawuphuma titelishisa lelidolobha.”
Kwatsi Sedekiya, inkhosi yakaJuda, nawo onkhe emabutfo nakatibona letiphatsimandla, babaleka; baphuma kulelidolobha ebusuku, babaleka ngendlela yengadze yenkhosi, ngelisango lelisemkhatsini wetibondza letimbili, babhekisa emabombo kuyo i-Arabha.
Kodvwa lamabutfo aseBhabhulona abacosha, akhandza Sedekiya etsafeni laseJerikho. Ambamba ammikisa kuNebukhadnezari, inkhosi yaseBhabhulona, labeseRibla, eveni laseHamathi, lapho akhipha khona sigwebo sakhe kuye.
Wase ukupuluta emehlo aSedekiya, wambopha ngetinketane telitfusi kuze amyise eBhabhulona.
“Tono tami taboshwa ngesandla sakhe taba lijoko. Watephotsela yena watihlanganisa, setikhuphukele entsanyeni yami, naSimakadze uwesusile emandla ami. Unginiketele kulabo lengingeke ngikhone kumelana nabo.
“Lenkhosi lesemkhatsini wabo iyakwetjatsa timphahla tayo ehlombe kusihlwa ihambe, kuyawumbiwa imbobo elubondzeni, imbelwe yona, kutsi itewuphuma kuyo. Iyawumbonya buso bayo, khona ingetilibona lelive.
Ngiyakuyetsiya ngelinetha lami, futsi iyawubanjwa kulolo lugibe lwami; ngiyakuyiyisa eBhabhulona, eveni lemaKhaledi, kodvwa ngeke ilibone, ngulapho iyawufela khona.
Kodvwa inkhosi lensha yayivukela inkhosi yaseBhabhulona ngekutsi itfumele emancusa ayo eGibhithe kutsi ayewutfola emahhashi nemphi lenkhulu. Iyawuphumelela yini? Uyawuphumelela yini umuntfu lowenta tintfo letinje? Angasephula yini sivumelwane aphindze aphumelele?
Mosi wakhuluma watsi: “Pho, nentelani lokungawulaleli umyalo waNkulunkulu? Loku ngeke kuphumelele!
