Ungatincoba Tinkinga Letilimata Umndeni

 1. Ngutiphi tinkinga letingabonakali letikhona emindenini letsite?

IMOTO lendzala isandza kuwashwa futsi yapholishwa. Kubantfu labendlulako, ibonakala imanyatela shengatsi yinsha. Kodvwa ngaphansi, umtimba wayo utfombile. Kunjalo nangemindeni letsite. Nanobe ngaphandle yonkhe intfo ibonakala ihamba kahle, buso lobumoyitelako bufihla kwesaba nebuhlungu. Ekhaya, tintfo letimbi letifanana nekutfomba ticedza kuthula kwemndeni. Tinkinga letimbili letingabangela loku kuba ngumhuca wetjwala, kanye nebudlova.

 2. (a) Uyini umbono weliBhayibheli ngekusetjentiswa kwetinatfo letidzakwanako? (b) Kusho kutsini kuba ngumhuca wetjwala?

² LiBhayibheli alikulahli kusebentisa tinatfo letidzakwanako ngalokusesilinganisweni, kodvwa lilahla kudzakwa. (Taga 23:20, 21; 1 Khorinte 6:9, 10; 1 Thimothi 5:23; Thithusi 2:2, 3) Kodvwa-ke kuba ngumhuca wetjwala kungetulu kwekudzakwa, kukutilibatisa ngetinatfo letidzakwanako ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi, nekungatibambi nawunatsa. Imihuca yetjwala kungaba bantfu labadzala, kodvwa kuyadzabukisa kutsi ngisho nalabasha bangaba ngiyo.

3, 4. Chaza indlela kuba ngumhuca wetjwala lokumlimata ngayo umlingani wemshado kanye nebantfwana.

³ Kudzala, liBhayibheli lasho kutsi kusebentisa kabi tjwala kungaphatamisa kuthula kwemndeni. (Dutheronomi 21:18-21) Imiphumela lemibi lebangwa kuba ngumhuca wetjwala iviwa nguwo wonkhe umndeni. Umlingani wemshado angase etame kamatima kuyekelisa umuntfu longumhuca wetjwala nobe ente imetamo yekubeketelela kutiphatsa kwakhe lokushintjashintjako.a Uyetama kufihla tjwala, abulahle, afihle imali, avuse lutsandvo lwaloyo muntfu ngelikhaya, ngemphilo, ngisho nangaNkulunkulu. Nobe kunjalo, lomuntfu longumhuca uyachubeka nekunatsa. Njengobe imetamo yakhe yekulawula kunatsa kwaloyo muntfu yehluleka ngalokuphindzaphindziwe, uyadvumateka futsi ative asehluleki. Angase acale abe nekwesaba, atfukutsele, ative anelicala, akhatsateke, futsi angatetsembi.

⁴ Bantfwana bayayiva imiphumela yekuba ngumhuca kwemtali. Labanye bayashaywa kantsi labanye bahlukunyetwa ngekwelicasi. Bangase batibeke licala ngalokudzakwa kakhulu kwemtali. Ngato tonkhe letintfo letentekako, bantfwana labanjalo babese abasabetsembi labanye bantfu. Ngesizatfu sekutsi abakakhululeki kucoca ngaloko lokwenteka ekhaya, bantfwana bangase bafundze kucindzetela imiva yabo nobe bafele ngekhatsi, futsi esikhatsini lesinyenti loko kuba nemiphumela leyingoti. (Taga 17:22) Bantfwana labanjalo bangase bakhule naloyo muva wekungatetsembi nobe kungatihloniphi bate babe badzala.

 5. Kuba ngumhuca wetjwala kungasingatfwa njani, futsi kungani loku kumatima?

⁵ Nanobe bantfu labanyenti batsi kuba ngumhuca wetjwala akwelapheki, linyenti labo liyavuma kutsi ungakhona kubuyekela nangabe ungatitjela kutsi awubutsintsi nhlobo. (Catsanisa naMatewu 5:29.) Kodvwa-ke, kumelula kukhuluma ngekusita umuntfu longumhuca wetjwala kunekukwenta loko, ngobe esikhatsini lesinyenti loyo muntfu uyaphika kutsi unenkinga. Nobe kunjalo, nangabe emalunga emndeni atsatsa tinyatselo tekusingatsa indlela lokuphila nemuntfu lonjalo lokubatsintse ngayo, loyo muntfu angase abone kutsi unenkinga. Lomunye dokotela losanalokuhlangenwe nako kwekusita bantfu labanjalo kanye nemindeni yabo watsi: “Ngicabanga kutsi intfo lebaluleke kakhulu kutsi umndeni uchubeke nendlela yawo yekuphila levamile. Loyo muntfu longumhuca wetjwala utawubona kancane kancane indlela umehluko lomkhulu ngayo emkhatsini wakhe nalamanye emalunga emndeni.”

 6. Ngumuphi umtfombo weseluleko loncono kunayo yonkhe longasita imindeni lenelilunga lelingumhuca wetjwala?

⁶ Nangabe emndenini wakho kunemuntfu longumhuca wetjwala, seluleko seliBhayibheli lesiphefumulelwe singakusita kute uphile ngendlela lezuzisako. (Isaya 48:17; 2 Thimothi 3:16, 17) Asewunake letinye timiso letiye tasita imindeni kutsi ikhone kuphila nemuntfu longumhuca wetjwala.

 7. Nangabe lilunga lemndeni lingumhuca wetjwala, ngubani lonelicala?

⁷ Yekela kutibeka licala. LiBhayibheli litsi: “Ngulowo nalowo uyawutetfwalela umtfwalo wakhe,” futsi “sonkhe siyawulandza ngatsi matfupha ngamunye ngamunye kuNkulunkulu.” (Galathiya 6:5; Roma 14:12) Umuntfu longumhuca wetjwala angase abeke emalunga emndeni licala nobe awasole. Angase atsi: “Kube beningiphetse kahle, bengingeke nginatse.” Nangabe labanye bantfu bavumelana naye, bamkhutsata kutsi achubeke nekunatsa. Kodvwa ngisho nobe siphatfwa kabi timo nobe labanye bantfu, sonkhe​—kuhlanganise nemihuca yetjwala, sitawulandzisa ngaloko lesikwentako.​—Catsanisa naFiliphi 2:12.

 8. Ngutiphi letinye tindlela umuntfu longumhuca wetjwala langasitwa ngato kutsi abhekane nemiphumela yekunatsa kwakhe?

⁸ Ungacabangi kutsi ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi kufanele uvikele umuntfu longumhuca wetjwala emiphumeleni yekunatsa kwakhe. Lesaga seliBhayibheli lesimayelana nemuntfu lotfukutsele singasebenta ngendlela lefananako nakumuntfu longumhuca wetjwala: “Nawuke wamsita kanye, kufanele umsite siphelane.” (Taga 19:19) Loyo muntfu kufanele ativele yena imiphumela yekunatsa kwakhe. Akatisulele yena lapho angcolise khona nobe ashayele emsebentini ngakusasa achaze kumcashi wakhe kutsi kungani angetanga emsebentini.

9, 10. Kungani imindeni lenebantfu labamihuca yetjwala kufanele yemukele lusito, futsi kufanele balufune kuphi kakhulu lolo sito?

⁹ Yemukela lusito kulabanye. Taga 17:17 titsi: “Umngani unelutsandvo ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi; kantsi umnakenu utalelwe kutsi netfwalisane naye tinhlupheko.” Kuba nekucindzeteleka ekhaya nangabe kunemuntfu longumhuca wetjwala. Uyaludzinga lusito. Ungesabi kusondzela ‘kubangani labanelutsandvo’ kute bakusekele. (Taga 18:24) Kukhuluma nebantfu labayicondzako inkinga lokuyo nobe labake bahlangabetana nayo, kungakuniketa emacebo lalusito aloko lokufanele ukwente naloko lokungakafaneli ukwente. Ungakhulumi nanobe ngubani, kodvwa khuluma nebantfu lobetsembako, labangeke bembule “timfihlo” takho.​—Taga 11:13.

¹⁰ Fundza kwetsemba labadzala labangemaKhristu. Labadzala ebandleni lebuKhristu bangaba lusito lolukhulu. Lamadvodza lavutsiwe afundzisiwe ngeliVi laNkulunkulu futsi analokuhlangenwe nako kwekusebentisa timiso talo. Angaba ‘bakhoselisi ngesikhatsi sesivunguvungu, abe njengemifula yemanti ehlane, afanane nelitfunti lelidvwala lelikhulu eveni lelomele emanti.’ (Isaya 32:2) Akusiko kutsi labadzala labangemaKhristu bavikela libandla lilonkhe etintfweni letiyingoti kuphela, kodvwa baphindze badvudvute, bacabule, futsi babe nenshisekelo kulabo labanetinkinga. Lusebentise kahle lusito lwabo.

11, 12. Ngubani loniketa imindeni yebantfu labamihuca yetjwala lusito lolukhulu, futsi lolo sito luniketwa njani?

¹¹ Ngetulu kwako konkhe, cela emandla kuJehova. LiBhayibheli liyasicinisekisa: “Simakadze uhlala asedvute nabo labanetinhlitiyo letephukile uyabasindzisa labanemoya lowephukile.” (Tihlabelelo 34:18) Nangabe uyeva kutsi inhlitiyo nobe umoya wakho wephukile ngesizatfu sekucindzetela kwekuphila nemuntfu longumhuca wetjwala ekhaya, kufanele wati kutsi Jehova “uhlala asedvute” nawe. Uyasicondza simo semndeni wakho kutsi simatima kangakanani.​—1 Phetro 5:6, 7.

¹² Kukholelwa loko Jehova lakushoko eVini lakhe kungakusita ubeketelele kukhatsateka. (Tihlabelelo 130:3, 4; Matewu 6:25-34; 1 Johane 3:19, 20) Kutadisha liVi laNkulunkulu kanye nekuphila ngetimiso talo kukwenta utfole lusito lwemoya longcwele waNkulunkulu, longakuhlomisa ‘ngemandla lamakhulu’ kute uchubeke uphila malanga onkhe.​—2 Khorinte 4:7.b

13. Nguyiphi lenye inkinga lelimata imindeni?

¹³ Kusetjentiswa kabi kwetjwala kungaholela nakulenye futsi inkinga lengalimata imindeni​—budlova basekhaya.

14. Bacala nini budlova basekhaya, futsi sinjani simo lamuhla?

¹⁴ Sento sekucala sebudlova basekhaya besitsintsa bantfwana bandzawonye, boKhayini na-Abela. (Genesisi 4:8) Kusukela ngaleso sikhatsi, bantfu baye benta tonkhe tinhlobo tebudlova basekhaya. Kunemadvodza lashaya bafati bawo, bafati labahlasela emadvodza abo, batali labashaya bantfwana babo kabuhlungu, kanye nebantfwana lasebakhulile labahlukumeta batali babo lasebagugile.

15. Budlova basekhaya buwatsintsa njani emoyeni emalunga emindeni?

¹⁵ Umonakalo lobangelwa budlova basekhaya mukhulu kakhulu kunetibati letibonakalako. Lomunye umfati lobekashaywa yindvodza yakhe watsi: “Uye utive unelicala futsi unemahloni. Tikhatsi letinyenti ekuseni, uye ufise kungavuki ngobe ucabanga kutsi bewubhudza.” Bantfwana labakhula babona budlova basekhaya baba setfubeni lekutsi nabo babe nebudlova nasebakhulile futsi sebanemindeni yabo.

16, 17. Kuyini kuhlukunyetwa ngekwemivelo, futsi kuwatsintsa njani emalunga emndeni?

¹⁶ Budlova basekhaya abugcini ngekushaya. Ngalokuvamile bentiwa ngemavi. Taga 12:18 titsi: “Emavi lakhulumeka ngebudlabha ahlaba njengesikhali.” ‘Kuhlaba’ lokuhambisana nebudlova basekhaya kuhlanganisa kwetfuka nekutsetsa, kuphindze kuhlanganise nekuhlale ugceka, kwedzelela, kanye nekwesabisa lomunye umuntfu ngekumshaya. Tilondza letibangelwa budlova lobentiwa ngemavi atibonakali futsi imvamisa kute loticaphelako.

¹⁷ Lokubuhlungu kakhulu kuhlukunyetwa kwemntfwana ngemavi​—lokukuhlale ugceka futsi ubukela phansi emakhono, kuhlakanipha kanye nekubaluleka kwakhe. Kuhlukunyetwa lokunjalo kungacedza kutetsemba kwemntfwana. Kuliciniso kutsi bonkhe bantfwana bayasidzinga siyalo. Nanobe kunjalo, liBhayibheli leluleka bobabe: “Ningabatfukutselisi bantfwabenu, khona bangetiwudzinwa.”​—Kholose 3:21.

18. Bucala kuphi budlova basekhaya, futsi liBhayibheli litsi bungacedvwa njani?

¹⁸ Budlova basekhaya bucala enhlitiyweni kanye nasengcondvweni; tento tetfu ticala ngaloko lesikucabangako. (Jakobe 1:14, 15) Kute umuntfu ayekele budlova, kufanele ashintje indlela lacabanga ngayo. (Roma 12:2) Kungenteka yini loko? Yebo. LiVi laNkulunkulu linemandla ekugucula bantfu. Lingakhipha ngisho nemibono ‘lembelwe ngalokucinile.’ (2 Khorinte 10:4, NW; Hebheru 4:12) Lwati lolungulonalona ngeliBhayibheli lungaletsa lushintjo lolukhulu kubantfu labembetse buntfu lobusha.​—Efesu 4:22-24; Kholose 3:8-10.

19. UmKhristu kufanele amtsatse futsi amphatse njani umuntfu lashade naye?

¹⁹ Indlela lomtsatsa ngayo umuntfu loshade naye. LiVi laNkulunkulu litsi: “Emadvodza kufanele atsandze bafati bawo, njengobe atsandza imitimba yawo. Indvodza letsandza umfati wayo ititsandza yona.” (Efesu 5:28) LiBhayibheli liphindze litsi indvodza kufanele inikete umfati wayo ‘inhlonipho njengesitja lesibutsakatsaka.’ (1 Phetro 3:7) Bafati bayalwa kutsi “batsandze emadvodza abo” futsi ‘bawahloniphe.’ (Thithusi 2:4; Efesu 5:33) Kute indvodza leyesaba Nkulunkulu lengatsi iyamhlonipha umfati wayo kodvwa ibe imhlukumeta emtimbeni kanye nangemavi. Kute umfati longatsi uyitsandza mbamba futsi uyayihlonipha indvodza yakhe kodvwa abe ayitsetsisa, nobe ayedzelela.

20. Ngubani lophatsise batali umtfwalo wekunakekela bantfwana babo, futsi kungani kungakafaneli bafune lokukhulu kakhulu kubantfwana babo?

²⁰ Umbono lomuhle ngebantfwana. Bantfwana bayaludzinga lutsandvo kanye nekunakwa batali babo. LiVi laNkulunkulu libita bantfwana ngekutsi “balifa leliphuma kuSimakadze,” futsi “basibusiso.” (Tihlabelelo 127:3) Batali banemtfwalo embikwaJehova wekunakekela lelifa. LiBhayibheli likhuluma ‘ngekuntfwanata’ kanye ‘nangebulima’ bemfana. (1 Khorinte 13:11; Taga 22:15) Batali akukafaneli bamangale nababona tento tebulima kubantfwana babo. Bantfwana abasibo bantfu labadzala. Batali akukafaneli balindzele lokungetulu kweminyaka yemntfwana, indlela lakhuliswe ngayo, kanye nemakhono akhe.​—Fundza Genesisi 33:12-14.

21. Nguyiphi indlela leyemukelwa nguNkulunkulu yekuphatsa batali lasebakhulile kanye neyekusebentelana nabo?

²¹ Umbono ngebatali lasebakhulile. Incwadzi yaLevithikhusi 19:32 itsi: “Niyawutitfoba embikwalasebakhulile, nibahloniphe.” Ngekusho loko, uMtsetfo waNkulunkulu bewugcizelela kuhlonishwa kanye nekunakwa kwebantfu lasebakhulile. Loku kungase kube matima nangabe umtali losakhulile abonakala afuna lokunyenti kakhulu nobe agula futsi angakwati kuhamba nobe kucabanga kahle. Ngisho nalapho, bantfwana bayakhunjutwa kutsi “babuyisele kubonga kwabo kulabo lababakhulisile.” (1 Thimothi 5:4) Loku kutawusho kubanika sitfunti kanye nekubahlonipha, mhlawumbe ute ubanakekele ngekwetimali. Kuhlukumeta batali lasebakhulile, emtimbeni nobe ngalenye indlela, kuphambene ngalokuphelele naloko liBhayibheli lelitsi asikwente.

22. Nguyiphi imfanelo lebalulekile lengasita ekuncobeni budlova basekhaya, futsi ingavetwa njani?

²² Bani nemoya wekutibamba. Taga 29:11 titsi: “Silima siyabonakalisa nasesitfukutsele; kodvwa lohlakaniphile uyatibamba angatibonakalisi.” Ungawulawula njani umoya wakho? Kunekutsi uvumele kutfukutsela kwakheke ngekhatsi kuwe, tsatsa sinyatselo masinyane kute ulungise leyo nkinga. (Efesu 4:26, 27) Suka kuleyo ndzawo nangabe uva shengatsi uyehluleka kutibamba. Thandaza ucele umoya longcwele waNkulunkulu kutsi ukwente ube nemfanelo yekutibamba. (Galathiya 5:22, 23) Kushaywa ngumoya nobe kutilolonga kungakusita ulawule imiva yakho. (Taga 17:14, 27) Lwela ‘kwephuta kutfukutsela.’​—Taga 14:29.

23. Yini lengenteka nangabe umKhristu achubeka anebudlova kanye nelulaka futsi angaphendvuki, mhlawumbe ate ahlukumete nemalunga emndeni wakhe emtimbeni?

²³ LiBhayibheli litsi leminye imisebenti Nkulunkulu layilahlako ‘butsa, nenkhani, . . . nelulaka,’ futsi litsi “labo labenta letintfo bangeke balidle lifa lembuso waNkulunkulu.” (Galathiya 5:19-21) Ngako-ke, nobe ngubani lotsi ungumKhristu kodvwa achubeke anebudlova kanye nelulaka futsi angaphendvuki, mhlawumbe ate ahlukumete loyo lashade naye nobe bantfwana emtimbeni, angasuswa ebandleni lebuKhristu. (Catsanisa na-2 Johane 9, 10.) Ngalendlela, libandla lingagcineka lihlantekile, lite bantfu labanebudlova.​—1 Khorinte 5:6, 7; Galathiya 5:9.

24. (a) Bantfu labahlukunyetwako emshadweni bangakhetsa kwenta ini? (b) Bangani kanye nalabadzala labakhatsalelako bangamsekela njani umuntfu lohlukunyetwako, kodvwa yini lokungakafaneli bayente?

²⁴ Kutsiwani ngemaKhristu lahlale ashaywa bantfu lashade nabo labanebudlova, nalabangashintji? Lamanye aye akhetsa kuchubeka ahleti nabo ngetizatfu letitsite. Lamanye aye akhetsa kubashiya, ngobe abona kutsi inhlalakahle yawo lengekwemtimba, ngekwengcondvo, kanye neyakamoya​—mhlawumbe ngisho nekuphila kwawo, kusengotini. Loko umuntfu lohlukunyetwako ekhaya lakhetsa kukwenteka esimeni lesinjena kusincumo lokufanele atentele sona kuJehova. (1 Khorinte 7:10, 11) Bangani labahlose lokuhle, tihlobo, nobe labadzala labangemaKhristu bangase bafise kumsita nobe kumniketa seluleko, kodvwa akukafaneli bamcindzetele kutsi atsatse sincumo lesitsite. Lesi sincumo lokufanele atentele sona.​—Roma 14:4; Galathiya 6:5.

25. Iyini injongo yaJehova ngemndeni?

²⁵ Ngesikhatsi Jehova ashadisa bo-Adamu na-Eva, bekungasiyo injongo yakhe kutsi imindeni ibhidlitwe tinkinga letilimatako letinjengekuba ngumhuca wetjwala nobe budlova. (Efesu 3:14, 15) Umndeni bekufanele ube yindzawo legcwele lutsandvo kanye nekuthula, lapho tidzingo letingekwengcondvo, ngekwemivelo, kanye netakamoya tawo onkhe emalunga emndeni tinakekelwa khona. Nanobe kunjalo, ngemuva kwekutsi kungene sono, kuphila kwemndeni kwahhohloka.​—Catsanisa neMshumayeli 8:9.

26. Nguliphi likusasa lelitawutfolwa ngulabo labetama kuphila ngekuvumelana naloko lokufunwa nguJehova?

²⁶ Kuyajabulisa kutsi Jehova akakayishintji injongo yakhe ngemndeni. Wetsembisa kuletsa umhlaba lomusha lonekuthula lapho bantfu “bayawuhlala baphephile, kute futsi loyawubesabisa.” (Hezekeli 34:28) Ngaleso sikhatsi, kuba ngumhuca wetjwala, budlova basekhaya, kanye nato tonkhe letinye tinkinga letilimata imindeni titawube tingasekho. Bantfu bayawumoyitela, hhayi ngobe bafihla kwesaba nobe buhlungu, kodvwa ngobe ‘batijabulisa ngekuthula lokukhulu.’​—Tihlabelelo 37:11.
