⁸ Nangabe kunjalo, bekente liphutsa lelikhulu. Ngetulu kwaloko, nangabe yena na-Adamu bebangcingca ingcondvo yaKhayini ngemibono lenjalo ngesikhatsi asakhula, bebambangela kutsi aticabange amkhulu. Ngekuhamba kwesikhatsi Eva watala indvodzana yesibili, kodvwa akazange awasho emagama lanjalo ngayo. Bayetsa libito batsi ngu-Abela, lokungenteka lisho kutsi “Umoya lophuma emakhaleni” nobe “Intfo lengenamsebenti.” (Gen. 4:2) Kungenteka yini kutsi lelibito labalikhetsa beliveta kutsi kute lokungako labakulindzele ku-Abela, shengatsi yena abengakabaluleki kunaKhayini? Asiciniseki ngaloko.

10, 11. BoKhayini na-Abela benta miphi imisebenti, futsi yini Abela laba nayo?

¹⁰ Njengobe labafana lababili bakhula, kungenteka kutsi Adamu wabafundzisa imisebenti lebeyibalulekile kute banakekele umndeni. Khayini waba ngumlimi, Abela yena waba ngumelusi.

Abehola tilwane takhe emagcumeni, etigodzini, futsi atewelise nemifula, atifunela emadlelo laluhlata, tindzawo letikahle tekutfola emanti, netindzawo tekuphumula letinemtfunti lomuhle. Kuyo yonkhe indalo yaNkulunkulu, timvu kubonakala kungito letiludzinga kakhulu lusito, kuba shengatsi tadalwa ngendlela yekutsi tidzinge kucondziswa nekuvikelwa ngumuntfu. Abela abebona yini kutsi naye udzinga sicondziso, sivikelo, nekunakekelwa nguMuntfu lohlakaniphe kakhulu nalonemandla kakhulu kunebantfu? Asingabati kutsi imiva lenjalo wayiveta nakathantaza, futsi ngaleyo ndlela kukholwa kwakhe kwachubeka kukhula.
