INQAKU ELINGUMXHOLO | IBHAYIBHILE—IBALI LOKUSINDA KWAYO
IBhayibhile Yasinda Kwinkcaso
ISISONGELO: Iinkokeli zepolitiki kunye nabefundisi abaninzi babengafuni nokuyibona iBhayibhile. Babedla ngokusebenzisa igunya labo ukuze bangabavumeli abantu ukuba babe nayo, bayenze okanye baguqulele iBhayibhile. Makhe sithethe ngale mizekelo mibini:
Malunga nonyaka ka-167 B.C.E.: UKumkani uAntiochus Epiphanes owayefuna ukunyanzela amaYuda ukuba anqule ngendlela yamaGrike wayalela ukuba zitshatyalaliswe zonke iikopi zeZibhalo zesiHebhere. Umbhali-mbali uHeinrich Graetz wathi amagosa akhe “ayekrazula aze atshise nayiphi na imisongo yoMthetho ayeyifumana aze abulale nabo babefumana amandla nentuthuzelo xa beyifunda.”
KumaXesha Aphakathi: Abanye abefundisi bamaKatolika babengayithandi into yokuba abantu nje abaqhelekileyo bafundise oko kuthethwa yiBhayibhile kunokuba bafundise iimfundiso zamaKatolika. Babesithi nabaphi na abantu ababenezinye iincwadi zeBhayibhile ngaphandle nje kweeNdumiso zesiLatini bafundisa izinto zabo. Elinye ibhunga lecawa lagunyazisa umthetho owawusithi amadoda alo “mawagqogqe aze akhangele ngokucokisekileyo nabaphi na abantu ababefundisa izinto zabo . . . ngokugqogqa zonke izindlu namagumbi angaphantsi kwizindlu ezikrokrisayo. . . . Indlu abafunyenwe kuyo mayitshiswe.”
Ukuba iintshaba zeBhayibhile zazikwazile ukuyitshabalalisa, ngeyingekho namhlanje.
Inguqulelo yesiNgesi kaWilliam Tyndale yasinda nangona yayingafunwa nokubonwa, kutshiswa iiBhayibhile waza noTyndale wabulawa ngo-1536
INDLELA EYASINDA NGAYO IBHAYIBHILE: UKumkani uAntiochus wayejonge kakhulu kwaSirayeli, kodwa amaYuda ayehlala nakwamanye amazwe. Phofu izazi ziqikelela ukuba ngenkulungwane yokuqala, ayemaninzi amaYuda awayehlala kwamanye amazwe kunalawo awayehlala kwaSirayeli. Kwizindlu zawo zesikhungu amaYuda ayegcina iikopi zeZibhalo—ibe zasetyenziswa zizizukulwana eziliqela kuquka namaKristu.—IZenzo 15:21.
KumaXesha Aphakathi abathandi beBhayibhile baqhubeka beguqulela yaye bekhuphela iZibhalo nangona babetshutshiswa. Kwanangaphambi kokuba umatshini wokuprinta wenziwe phakathi kwiminyaka yoo-1400, kusenokwenzeka ukuba iinxalenye zeBhayibhile zazifumaneka ngeelwimi eziyi-33. Emva koko iBhayibhile yaguqulelwa yaza yenziwa ngesantya esingazange sabonwa ngaphambili.
UMPHUMO: Nangona yayingafunwa ngookumkani abanamandla kunye nabefundisi, iBhayibhile yeyona ncwadi iye yasasazwa yaza yaguqulelwa kakhulu kunazo zonke ezikhe zakho. Iye yanefuthe kwimithetho neelwimi zamazwe nakubomi bezigidi zabantu.
