Amabala Angaphansi

a Ibala elahunyutshwa ngokuthi “inhlawulo” eBhayibhilini lilomqondo wentengo loba isisindo salokho okubhadalelwayo. Ngokwesibonelo, ibala lesiHebheru elithi ka·pharʹ litsho ‘ukuvala.’ (UGenesisi 6:14) Lisetshenziswa kanengi nxa kukhulunywa ngokuvala isono. (IHubo 65:3) Elinye ibala elihambelana lalo ngelithi koʹpher elitsho intengo ebhadalwayo ukuze kuvalwe kumbe kukhululwe okuthile. (U-Eksodusi 21:30) Elinye ibala lesiGrikhi elithi lyʹtron elijayele ukuhunyutshwa ngokuthi “inhlawulo,” lingahunyutshwa langokuthi “intengo yokuhlenga.” (UMathewu 20:28; The New Testament in Modern Speech, eyahunyutshwa nguR. F. Weymouth) Abalobi abangamaGrikhi babesebenzisa ibala leli nxa bekhuluma ngembadalo yokuhlenga isibotshwa empini kumbe eyokukhulula isigqili.
