UMCEBO LOSEVINI LANKULUNKULU | EKSODUSI 31-32
“Kubalekeleni Kukhonta Titfombe”
(Eksodusi 32:1) Batsi kube bantfu babone kutsi Mosi sewutsetse sikhatsi lesidze angasehli entsabeni, babutsana ndzawonye beta ku-Aroni bakhuluma kuye batsi: “Kota, usentele nkulunkulu lotawuhamba embikwetfu, ngobe phela asati kutsi sekwente njani kulendvodza lenguMosi leyasikhipha eveni laseGibhithe.”

Phokophelela Ekuvuthweni—“Usuku Olukhulu LukaJehova Luseduze”
11 Ukusebenzisa esikufunda emiBhalweni kungaba inselele, ikakhulukazi lapho sibhekene nezimo ezinzima. Ngokwesibonelo, ngemva nje kokuba uJehova ekhulule abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ebugqilini baseGibhithe, “baxabana noMose,” futhi baqhubeka ‘bevivinya uJehova.’ Kungani? Ngoba nje amanzi ayengekho. (Eks. 17:1-4) Kungakapheli nezinyanga ezimbili benze isivumelwano noNkulunkulu bevuma ukwenza “wonke amazwi uJehova awakhulumile,” baphula umthetho wakhe owenqabela ukukhonza izithombe. (Eks. 24:3, 12-18; 32:1, 2, 7-9) Ingabe lokhu kwakungenxa yokuthi ukunyamalala kukaMose isikhathi eside lapho esanikezwa iziyalezo eNtabeni iHorebe kwakubenza besabe? Ingabe mhlawumbe babecabanga ukuthi ama-Amaleki ayezophinde ahlasele futhi ayezozigwazela ibhece njengoba ayengekho uMose owagcina izandla zakhe ziphakeme empini yangaphambili abanqoba kuyo? (Eks. 17:8-16) Kungenzeka, kodwa kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sasiyini isizathu sangempela salokhu, ama-Israyeli ‘enqaba ukulalela.’ (IzE. 7:39-41) UPawulu wanxusa amaKristu ukuba “enze konke okusemandleni” ukuze agweme ‘ukuwela esibonelweni esifanayo sokungalaleli’ kwama-Israyeli lapho esaba ukungena eZweni Lesithembiso.—Heb. 4:3, 11.
(Eksodusi 32:4-6) Wawatsatsa wawancibilikisa, wase ubumba litfole lelidvuna legolide. Bantfu bamemeta batsi: “Israyeli! Nangu-ke nkulunkulu wakho lowakukhipha eveni laseGibhithe!” 5 Watsi kube Aroni akubone loku, wase wakha lilati embikwalelitfole, wamemetela watsi: “Kusasa kutawuba nesibhimbi sekudvumisa Simakadze.” 6 Ngakusasa bavuka ekuseni ngeluvivi baletsa iminikelo yekushiswa kanye neminikelo yekuthula. Bantfu bahlala phansi, badla, banatsa, basukuma badlala.”
Lalela Nkulunkulu Futsi Uzuze Etetsembisweni Takhe Latifungele
12 Ngekushesha, Jehova wacala kufeza setsembiso sakhe lasente kulesivumelwane seMtsetfo ngekutsi ente emalungiselelo ekwakhiwa kwelithende lekukhontela nekutsi kube nebaphristi labebatawusita bantfu labanesono basondzele kuYe. Ngakulokunye, ema-Israyeli asheshe akukhohlwa kutinikela kwawo kuNkulunkulu, ngekwenta njalo ‘acansula Longcwele waka-Israyeli.’ (Hla. 78:41) Sibonelo saloko kutsi ngesikhatsi Mosi aseNtsabeni iSinayi amatasatasa abhala ticondziso letivela kuNkulunkulu, ema-Israyeli aphelelwa sineke futsi nekukholwa kwawo kuNkulunkulu kwancipha, acabanga kutsi Mosi uwalahlile. Ngako atentela sitfombe selitfole legolide ase atsi: “Israyeli! Nangu-ke Nkulunkulu wakho lowakukhipha eveni laseGibhithe!” (Eks. 32:1, 4) Ema-Israyeli abetsi enta ‘sibhimbi sekudvumisa Simakadze’ akhotsamela lesitfombe aphindze asentela nemihlatjelo. Naku Jehova lakutjela Mosi nakabona loko lokwakwenteka: “Sebaphambuke ngekushesha kuloko lengabayala ngako.” (Eks. 32:5, 6, 8) Lokubuhlungu kutsi kusukela lapho ema-Israyeli aba nemlandvo wekwenta tifungo kuNkulunkulu kodvwa angatigcini.—Num. 30:2.
(Eksodusi 32:9, 10) Simakadze wachubeka wakhuluma kuMosi watsi: “Sengibabonile labantfu kutsi basive lesinentsamo lelukhuni. 10 Ngako-ke ase ungiyekele kutsi lulaka lwami lutewubahashula lubabhubhise. Wena-ke ngitakwenta ube sive lesikhulu.”
Bani Seluhlangotsini LwaJehova
14 Ema-Israyeli bekati kutsi kukhonta titfombe bekusono lesikhulu kuJehova. (Eks. 20:3-5) Kodvwa ngekushesha besekacale kukhonta litfole lelentiwe ngeligolide. Bekatikhohlisa ngekucabanga kutsi aseluhlangotsini lwaJehova ngisho noma angamlaleli. Aroni waze wabita kukhonta kwelitfole ngekutsi “sibhimbi sekudvumisa Simakadze”! Yini Jehova layenta? Watjela Mosi kutsi, labantfu “sebonakele” futsi ‘sebaphambukile kuloko lengabayala ngako.’ Jehova watfukutsela kakhulu futsi waze wacabanga nekubhubhisa sonkhe sive sema-Israyeli.—Eks. 32:5-10.
Kufunisisa Umcebo EVini LaNkulunkulu
(Eksodusi 31:17) Liluphawu lwaphakadze naphakadze emkhatsini wema-Israyeli nami, kutsi ngemalanga lasitfupha Simakadze wadala lizulu nemhlaba, kwatsi ngelilanga lesikhombisa waphumula emsebentini wakhe.’”
“Kunesikhatsi” Sekusebenta Nesekuphumula
4 Sibonelo lesasibekelwa nguJehova naJesu mayelana nekusebenta kamatima sisho kutsi akukabaluleki yini kutsi siphumule? Cha. Jehova akadzinwa, ngako akadzingi kuphumula ngemuva kwekusebenta. LiBhayibheli litsi ngemuva kwekutsi Jehova adale emazulu nemhlaba, “waphumula emsebentini wakhe.” (Eks. 31:17) Noma kunjalo, loko kufakazela kutsi Jehova wabese uyema kudala tintfo futsi wajabulela kubuka tonkhe tintfo lebesekatentile. Ngisho nobe Jesu bekasebenta kamatima ngesikhatsi alapha emhlabeni, bekatinika sikhatsi sekuphumula futsi ajabulele kudla nebangani bakhe.—Mat. 14:13; Luk. 7:34.
(Eksodusi 32:32, 33) Kodvwa ngiyakucela umane ubatsetselele; nangabe awubatsetseleli, kuncono nami wesule libito lami encwadzini yakho loyibhalile.” 33 Simakadze wamphendvula watsi: “Ngulowo lowonile kimi lengiyakwesula libito lakhe encwadzini yami.

Imibuzo Evela Kubafundi
Kodwa ukuphawulwa komuntu ngaleyondlela ngokukhunjulwa nokwamukelwa (ukulotshwa kwegama lakhe “encwadini yokuphila”) akusho ukuthi nakanjani uzothola ukuphila okuphakade, njengokungathi lokhu kwakumiswe ngaphambili noma akunakushintshwa. Ngokuqondene namaIsrayeli, uMose wacela uJehova: “Nokho uma ubathethelela isono sabo—; kepha uma ungabathetheleli, ake ungesule encwadini yakho oyilobileyo.” UNkulunkulu waphendula: “Owonile kimi ngiyakumesula encwadini yami.” (Eksodusi 32:32, 33) Yebo, ngisho nangemva kokuba uNkulunkulu ebhale othile ngokumamukela “encwadini” yakhe, umuntu angase angalaleli noma alahle ukholo lwakhe. Uma lokho kwakwenzeka, uNkulunkulu ‘wayezolesula igama lakhe encwadini yokuphila.’—IsAmbulo 3:5.
Kufundvwa KweliBhayibheli
(Eksodusi 32:15-35) Mosi wancandzeka, wehla entsabeni, etfwele tibhelekeca tematje letimbili letatibhalwe imiyalo ndzawo totimbili ngemuva nangembili. 16 Letibhelekeca tematje tatibatwe nguNkulunkulu, tabhalwa nguye ngekuticopha ngesandla sakhe. 17 Joshuwa watsi kube eve bantfu bamemeta, wakhuluma kuMosi watsi: “Kunemsindvo wemphi enkambu.” 18 Mosi waphendvula watsi: “Loko akufanani nemsindvo wekuncoba nome kukhala kwekwehlulwa, kodvwa ngiva kungumsindvo wekuhlabela.” 19 Watsi kube Mosi asondzele enkambu, abone lelitfole nebantfu bagidza, watfukutsela wabilelana. Letibhelekeca labetetfwele watilahla phansi, tephukela khona lapho phansi kwentsaba. 20 Watsatsa lelitfole lelase lakhiwe, walishisa ngemlilo, waligaya, lacolisakala laba yimphuphu, walibhuca ngemanti, watsi onkhe ema-Israyeli akalinatse. 21 Wakhuluma ku-Aroni watsi: “Labantfu benteni kuwe, uze ubaholele kulesono lesikhulu kangaka?” 22 Aroni waphendvula watsi: “Ungangitfukutseleli, nkhosi yami, nawe uyati kutsi labantfu babutsambele kanjani bubi. 23 Ngobe bakhulume kimi batsi: ‘Sentele nkulunkulu, lotawuhamba embikwetfu; ngobe asati kutsi sekwente njani kulendvodza lenguMosi leyasikhipha eGibhithe.’ 24 Mine ngatsi kubo: ‘Wonkhe lonegolide akayiletse lapha kimi.’ Ngako banginika igolide, ngayifaka emlilweni, kwase kuphuma nali litfole lelidvuna.” 25 Mosi wabona kutsi bantfu sebangumhlambi kazelusile, ngobe Aroni abesabayekelele batentela matsandza, batihlazisa ngisho nasembikwetitsa tabo. 26 Mosi wema esangweni lenkambu wamemeta watsi: “Lowo longakuSimakadze akete lapha kimi.” Onkhe emadvodzana aLevi abutsana ndzawonye eta kuye. 27 Wakhuluma kuwo watsi: “Simakadze longuNkulunkulu wa-Israyeli utsi: ‘Ngulowo nalowo emkhatsini wenu akatsatse inkemba yakhe, angene ngalelisango adzimate ayewuphuma ngale, ahambe abulala bomnakabo, nebangani bakhe, nabomakhelwane bakhe.’” 28 EmaLevi enta njengekusho kwaMosi, abulala emadvodza labengaba ti-3 000 ngalelo langa 29 Mosi wakhuluma kumaLevi watsi: “Lamuhla senitehlukanisele Simakadze ngentsengo yekubulala lowo nalowo indvodzana yakhe nemnakabo. Ngako-ke lamuhla sewunibusisile.” 30 Ngakusasa Mosi wakhuluma kubantfu, watsi: “Nente sono lesikhulu lesesabekako. Kodvwa sengitakwenyuka ngiye kuSimakadze entsabeni; mhlawumbe nginganentela inhlawulo yekubuyisana kuSimakadze ngalokona kwenu.” 31 Ngako Mosi wancandzeka wabuyela kuSimakadze, wafike watsi: “Labantfu sebatentele sono lesikhulu lesesabekako. Sebente nkulunkulu ngegolide base bayamkhonta. 32 Kodvwa ngiyakucela umane ubatsetselele; nangabe awubatsetseleli, kuncono nami wesule libito lami encwadzini yakho loyibhalile.” 33 Simakadze wamphendvula watsi: “Ngulowo lowonile kimi lengiyakwesula libito lakhe encwadzini yami. 34 Hamba-ke uyewuhola labantfu ubayise kulendzawo lengikhulume ngayo kuwe, ingilosi yami itawuhamba embikwakho. Kodvwa siyeta sikhatsi lapho ngitawubajezisa ngenca yekona kwabo.” 35 Ngako Simakadze watfumela sifo kubantfu, ngobe babecindzetele Aroni kutsi ababumbele litfole legolide.

it-2-E 466-467
Libito
Indalo lesiyibonakako ifakazela kuba khona kwaNkulunkulu, kodvvwa ayiliveti libito lakhe. (Hla 19:1; Rom 1:20) Kuze kutsiwe umuntfu ulati kahle libito laNkulunkulu kudzingeka lokungetulu kwekumane nje ati lelibito. (2 Khr 6:33) Kudzingeka ati loMuntfu—tinjongo takhe, imisebenti yakhe kanye nebuntfu bakhe njengobe buvetwe eVini lakhe. (Catsanisa na-1Kh 8:41-43; 9:3, 7; Neh 9:10) Loku kuvetwe kahle endzabeni yaMosi, lobekayindvodza ‘lebeyatiwa nguJehova ngelibito,’ lokusho kutsi beyisondzelene kakhulu naye (Eks 33:12, umbhalo longentasi) Mosi waba nelilungelo lekubona inkhatimulo yaJehova futsi weva ‘kumenyetelwa kwelibito lakhe lelitsi Jehova.’ (Eks 34:5) Lokumenyetelwa bekungasiko nje kuphindvwaphindvwa kwelibito laJehova kodvwa bekungemagama laveta buntfu baJehova nemisebenti yakhe. “NginguJehova, nginguJehova, nginguNkulunkulu lonesihawu neluvelo, lowephuta kutfukutsela futsi lochichima lutsandvo lolucotfo neliciniso, lokhombisa lutsandvo lolucotfo etinkhulungwaneni tetitukulwane, acolele emaphutsa netiphambeko kanye netono, kodvwa angamyekeli loyo lonelicala. Uletsa sijeziso sesono lesentiwa bobabe, asiletsele emadvodzana abo, nebatukulu babo, asiletsele nesitukulwane sesitsatfu nesitukulwane sesine.” (Eks 34:6, 7) Ngendlela lefanako, ingoma yaMosi lenemavi latsi: “Ngobe ngitalimemetela libito laJehova,” iveta indlela Nkulunkulu lebekasebentelana ngayo nema-Israyeli futsi ichaza buntfu bakhe.—Dut 32:3-44.
(Eksodusi 34:6) Simakadze wendlula embikwakhe wamemeta watsi: “Simakadze, Simakadze, Nkulunkulu lonesihawu nemusa; uyephuta kutfukutsela andze ngemusa nangekwetsembeka,

Lapho UJehova Ezichaza
Into yokuqala uJehova ayembulayo ngaye ukuthi ‘unesihe nomusa.’ (Ivesi 6) Isazi esithile seBhayibheli sithi igama lesiHebheru elihunyushwe ngokuthi ‘unesihe’ libonisa ‘isisa sikaNkulunkulu esifana naleso ubaba ongumuntu anaso ngabantwana bakhe.’ Igama elihunyushwe ngokuthi ‘unomusa’ lihlobene nesenzo ‘esichaza umuntu ovula inhliziyo yakhe ukuze anikeze usizo kumuntu oludingayo.’ Kusobala-ke ukuthi uJehova ufuna sazi ukuthi unakekela abakhulekeli bakhe ngendlela abazali abanakekela ngayo izingane zabo—ngothando olunesisa nangokukhathalela ngokujulile izidingo zazo.—IHubo 103:8, 13.
UJehova ube esethi ‘uyephuza ukuthukuthela.’ (Ivesi 6) Akasheshi ukuzithukuthelela izinceku zakhe ezisemhlabeni. Kunalokho, uyazibekezelela lapho zenza amaphutha, ngesikhathi esifanayo azinikeze isikhathi sokushintsha izindlela zazo zokona.—2 Petru 3:9.
UNkulunkulu uyaqhubeka athi ‘uchichima umusa wothando neqiniso.’ (Ivesi 6) Umusa wothando, noma uthando oluqotho, yimfanelo eyigugu uJehova ayisebenzisayo ukuze kube nobuhlobo obuqinile nobungasoze baphela phakathi kwakhe nabantu bakhe. (Duteronomi 7:9) UJehova ubuye abe umthombo weqiniso. Akakhohlisi futhi akanakukhohliswa. Njengoba ‘enguNkulunkulu weqiniso,’ singakwethemba ngokuphelele konke akushoyo, kuhlanganise nezithembiso zakhe ngekusasa.—IHubo 31:5.
(Eksodusi 34:7) ubentela umusa labatinkhulungwane, atsetselele emaphutsa, nalokubi, netono. Kodvwa ngingeke ngihlale ngingamjezisi lonelicala; ngijezisa bantfwana nebatukulu ngetono tebatali babo, kuze kufikele esitukulwaneni sesitsatfu nesesine.”

Elinye iqiniso elibaluleke kakhulu uJehova afuna silazi ngaye liwukuthi uxolela “isiphambeko neseqo nesono.” (Ivesi 7) “Ukulungele ukuthethelela” izoni eziphendukayo. (IHubo 86:5) Ngesikhathi esifanayo, akabushalazeleli neze ububi. Uthi “ngeke neze akhulula esijezisweni.” (Ivesi 7) UNkulunkulu ongcwele nonobulungisa uyozijezisa izoni ezona ngamabomu. Luyofika olwamanqamu lapho ziyobhekana nemikhuba yazo yokona.

Amaphuzu Avelele Encwadi Ka-Eksodusi
33:11, 20—UNkulunkulu wakhuluma kanjani noMose “ubuso nobuso”? Le nkulumo ibonisa ingxoxo yabantu ababili abasondelene. UMose wakhuluma nommeleli kaNkulunkulu owamtshela ngomlomo iziyalezo zikaJehova. Kodwa uMose akambonanga uJehova njengoba ‘kungekho muntu ongabona uNkulunkulu kodwa aphile.’ Empeleni, uJehova akakhulumanga noMose ngokuqondile. EyabaseGalathiya 3:19 ithi uMthetho “wadluliselwa ngezingelosi ngesandla somlamuleli.”
(Eksodusi 34:23, 24) “Katsatfu ngemnyaka bonkhe labadvuna bakho bayawutibonakalisa eNkhosini lenguSimakadze, Nkulunkulu wema-Israyeli. 24 Ngobe ngiyawucitsa tive embikwakho ngandzise neminyele yakho; kute loyawuhawukela live lakho, ngetikhatsi tekwenyuka kwakho katsatfu ngemnyaka nawuyekutibonakalisa kuSimakadze, longuNkulunkulu wakho.

Kathathu ngonyaka bonke abesilisa abangama-Israyeli nabangamaproselithe ezweni bayalwa ukuba babonakale phambi kukaJehova. Ziqaphela ukuthi umkhaya wonke wawuyozuza ngokomoya ezenzakalweni ezinjalo, izinhloko zemikhaya eziningi zazihlela ukuba zihambe namakhosikazi nezingane zazo. Kodwa ubani owayeyovikela amakhaya abo namasimu abo ekuhlaselweni yizitha ngenkathi umkhaya usahambile? UJehova wathembisa: “Akuyikubakho-muntu olifisa izwe lakho, nxa ukhuphuka uya ukubonakala phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho kathathu ngomnyaka.” (Eksodusi 34:24) Kwakudinga ukholo kuma-Israyeli ukukholelwa ukuthi uma ayebeka izithakazelo ezingokomoya kuqala, ayengeke alahlekelwe ngokwezinto ezibonakalayo. Ingabe uJehova wakufeza ayekuthembisile? Ngokuqinisekile wakufeza!
Kufundvwa KweliBhayibheli
(Eksodusi 33:1-16) Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Tfutsa kulendzawo wena nebantfu lobakhiphe eveni laseGibhithe, niye eveni lengafunga ngetsembisa kulinika Abrahama, na-Isaka, na-Jakobe, ngatsi: ‘Lelive ngiyawulipha titukulwane tenu.’ 2 Ngitawutfumela ingilosi yami ihambe embikwenu ngikhiphe emaKhenani, nema-Amori, nemaHethi, nemaPheresi, nemaHivi, nemaJebhusi. 3 Hambani niye kulelive leligcwele lubisi neluju lwetinyosi; kodvwa mine ngingeke ngihambe nani ngenca yebulukhuni benhloko yenu; ngingahle nginibhubhise nonkhana endleleni.” 4 Batsi kube bantfu beve onkhe lamavi labuhlungu, bakhala bonkhe, bayikhumula imihlobiso yabo. 5 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Khuluma kulama-Israyeli utsi ngitsi: ‘Nine nibantfu labanenhlitiyo lelukhuni; nangingake ngihambe nani umzuzu ube munye nje, nginganibhubhisa niphele nya. Khumulani lemihlobiso yenu, khona ngitanitjela kutsi ngitakwentani ngani!’” 6 Ngako batsi kube batfutse eNtsabeni iSinayi abaphindzanga bayegabe imihlobiso futsi. 7 Mosi abevame kumisa lithende ngephandle kwenkambu, abelibita ngekutsi lithende lekuhlangana. Ngulowo nalowo labefuna kubuta intsandvo yaSimakadze abevele aphumele ngaphandle kwenkambu ethendeni lekuhlangana. 8 Abetsi Mosi nakaya kulo, bonkhe bantfu bavuke, beme eminyango yemathende abo bambuke aze ayewungena kulo. 9 Abetsi Mosi angangena kulo, bese kwehla insika yelifu, ifike ime ekungeneni kwalelithende lekuhlangana, bese-ke Simakadze ukhuluma naMosi. 10 Bonkhe bantfu babetsi bangayibona lensika yelifu ime ekungeneni kwelithende lekuhlangana bakhotsame, bakhonte, ngulowo nalowo emnyango welithende lakhe. 11 “Simakadze abekhuluma naMosi buso nebuso, njengemuntfu akhuluma nemngani wakhe.

Yebo, washo kona kimi watsi: ‘Ngiyalati libito lakho, futsi uzuze umusa emehlweni ami.’ 13 Ngako-ke, nangabe ngizuze umusa emehlweni akho, ngiyakucela kutsi ungikhombise tindlela takho, kuze wena ngikwati kahle, ngichubeke kuzuza umusa emehlweni akho.

UMCEBO LOSEVINI LANKULUNKULU | EKSODUSI 35-36
“Equipped to Do Jehovah’s Work”
(Eksodusi 35:25, 26) Bonkhe labasikati lababenelikhono lekwephotsa baletsa insontfo leluhlata njengesibhakabhaka, nalebukhwebeletane, nalebovu ngalokutopele, netindvwangu telineni lecolisakele. 26 Bonkhe labasikati lababenetinhlitiyo letitsintsekile lababenelikhono bephotsa boya betimbuti.
Jehova Ubabusisa Kakhulu Labo Labanemoya Wekupha
Intfo leyenta Jehova wajabula kakhulu bekungasiyo leminikelo lebebayiletsa, kodvwa bekungumoya wekupha lobewuvetwa ngulabo lebebasekela kukhonta kweliciniso. Baphindze banikela ngesikhatsi sabo nangemandla abo. Lokulandzisa kutsi: ‘Bonkhe labasikati lebebanelikhono bebaphotsa.’ Ecinisweni, ‘bonkhe labasikati lebebanetinhlitiyo letitsintsekile nalebebanelikhono, baphotsa boya betimbuti.’ Ngetulu kwaloko, Jehova waniketa Besaleli “likhono, nekuhlakanipha, nelwati emisebentini yonkhe yebungcweti.” Nkulunkulu waniketa Besaleli na-Oholiyabi likhono lebebalidzinga kute bente yonkhe lemisebenti lebekabayale kutsi bayente.—Eks. 35:25, 26, 30-35.
(Eksodusi 35:30-35) Mosi wakhuluma kuma-Israyeli, watsi: “Simakadze ukhetse Besaleli umsa wa-Uri, lotalwa nguHure, wesive sakaJuda. 31 Nkulunkulu umgcwalise ngaMoya wakhe; wamupha likhono, nekuhlakanipha, nelwati emisebentini yonkhe yebungcweti, 32 kutsi akwati kwenta tinhlobonhlobo temihlobiso ngegolide, nangesiliva, nangelitfusi, 33 nekusika ematje, nekubata lukhuni, nekwenta nome ngabe ngumuphi umsebenti webungcweti. 34 Simakadze uphe yena na-Oholiyabi, umsa wa-Ahisamaki, wesive sakaDani, kutsi bakwati kufundzisa labanye bantfu. 35 Ubaphe likhono lekutsi bakwati kwenta yonkhe inhlobo yemisebenti leyentiwa ngetandla, tingcweti, nebahlobisi, nebeluki betindvwangu letelukwe ngensontfo leluhlata njengesibhakabhaka, nalebukhwebeletane, nalebovu ngalokutopele, kanye nangemitiya yelineni lecolisakele. Bayakwati kwenta yonkhe inhlobo yemsebenti, kantsi futsi bonkhe sebanebungcweti.”
Bantfu Basendvulo Labetsembekile—Bebacondziswa Ngumoya WaNkulunkulu
6 Lokwenteka kuBesaleli, lowaphila emalangeni aMosi, kuveta lokunyenti mayelana nendlela umoya waNkulunkulu longasebenta ngayo. (Fundza Eksodusi 35:30-35.) Besaleli wakhetfwa kutsi ahole emsebentini wekulungisa lithende lekukhontela. Bekakwati yini kubata ngesikhatsi asengakaniketwa lomsebenti? Kungenteka abekwati, kodvwa umsebenti labekawente sikhatsi lesidze, kufoloma titini taseGibhithe. (Eks. 1:13, 14) Ngako-ke, Besaleli bekatawufeza njani lomsebenti wakhe lomatima kangaka? Jehova wamgcwalisa ngemoya wakhe; wamupha likhono, nekuhlakanipha, nelwati emisebentini yonkhe yebungcweti, kutsi akwati kwenta tinhlobonhlobo temihlobiso. . . nome ngabe ngumuphi umsebenti webungcweti.’ Umoya longcwele watfutfukisa nobe ngabe nguliphi likhono lemvelo labekanalo Besaleli. Kwenteka lokufananako naku-Oholiyabi.

Isonto ngalinye uJehova wayebekele eceleni isikhathi ayesibheka njengesingcwele, isikhathi sokusetshenziselwa imisebenzi ephathelene nokukhulekela uNkulunkulu weqiniso kuphela. (Eksodusi 35:1-3; Numeri 15:32-36) Unyaka ngamunye, kwakunesikhathi esengeziwe okwakufanele sibekelwe imibuthano engcwele ekhethiwe. (Levitikusi 23:4-44) Le mibuthano yayiveza amathuba okuxoxa ngezenzo zikaJehova zamandla, okukhunjuzwa izindlela zakhe, nawokubonisa ukumbonga ngabo bonke ubuhle bakhe. Njengoba abantu belandisa ngokuzinikela kwabo kuJehova, babemesaba futhi bamthande ngokwengeziwe, futhi kwakubasiza ukuba bahambe ezindleleni zakhe. (Duteronomi 10:12, 13) Izimiso ezizuzisayo ezikulezo ziyalezo ziyazizuzisa izinceku zikaJehova namuhla.—Hebheru 10:24, 25.
