KumaHebheru
3 Yikho-ke bafowethu abangcwele ababizelwe* ukuyaphila ezulwini,+ cabangisisani ngomphostoli langomphristi omkhulu esimvumayo, uJesu.+ 2 Wayethembekile kulowo owambekayo,+ njengoba nje loMosi wayethembekile lapho esebenza kuyo yonke indlu kaNkulunkulu.+ 3 Yena* kuthiwa ufanelwe yinkazimulo enkulu+ kulekaMosi, njengoba umakhi wendlu edunyiswa ukwedlula indlu ayakhileyo. 4 Phela indlu ngayinye ilomakhi wayo kodwa umakhi wezinto zonke nguNkulunkulu. 5 UMosi wayethembekile ngesikhathi eyinceku kuyo yonke indlu kaNkulunkulu futhi inkonzo yakhe yayifakazela izinto ezazizakhulunywa ngesikhathi esizayo, 6 kodwa uKhristu yena wayethembekile ngesikhathi eyindodana+ ephethe indlu kaNkulunkulu. Thina siyindlu kaNkulunkulu+ nxa siyibambe sayigagadlela inkululeko yethu yokukhuluma lethemba esizazigqaja ngalo kuze kube sekucineni.
7 Ngakho njengoba nje umoya ongcwele usithi,+ “Kwangathi lingalalela ilizwi lakhe lamuhla, 8 lingazenzi zibe lukhuni inhliziyo zenu njengalapho okhokho benu bengithukuthelisa kakhulu mhla bengilinga enkangala,+ 9 lapho abangilinga khona lanxa babeyibonile imisebenzi yami okweminyaka engu-40.+ 10 Ngenxa yalokho, ngasenyanya isizukulwane leso ngathi: ‘Inhliziyo zabo zihlala ziphambuka njalo abakazazi izindlela zami.’ 11 Ngakho ngafunga ngithukuthele ngathi: ‘Abasoze bangene ekuphumuleni kwami.’”+
12 Nanzelelani bafowethu ukuze angabi khona phakathi kwenu ocina esiba lenhliziyo embi engelakholo ngenxa yokuphambuka kuNkulunkulu ophilayo.+ 13 Kodwa qhubekani likhuthazana nsuku zonke nxa nje kusathiwa “Lamuhla,”+ ukuze angabi khona kini oba lukhuni ngenxa yamandla esono ayengayo. 14 Sizakuthola sibili lokho uKhristu asekutholile, nxa nje singaligagadlela kuze kube sekucineni ithemba esasilalo ekuqaleni.+ 15 Kunjengoba nje kuthiwa: “Kwangathi lingalalela ilizwi lakhe lamuhla, lingazenzi zibe lukhuni inhliziyo zenu njengalapho bengithukuthelisa kakhulu.”+
16 Kanti ngobani abamthukuthelisa kakhulu? Ayisibo bonke yini abaphuma eGibhithe bekhokhelwa nguMosi?+ 17 Kanti njalo ngobani uNkulunkulu ayebenyanya okweminyaka engu-40?+ Ayisibo yini ababesona, labo abafela enkangala?+ 18 Ngobani afunga kubo esithi kabasoze bangene ekuphumuleni kwakhe? Ayisibo yini labo ababengalaleli? 19 Siyabona-ke ukuthi behluleka ukungena ngenxa yokungabi lokholo.+
