Genesise 1:26—“Masenze abantu ngomfanekiso wethu”
“Ngemva kwalokho uNkulunkulu wathi: “Masenze umuntu ngomfanekiso wethu, afane nathi, athotshelwe izinhlanzi zolwandle, izilwane ezindizayo zamazulu, izilwane ezifuywayo nayiwo wonke umhlaba nazo zonke izilwane ezihamba emhlabeni.”—Genesise 1:26, IBhayibheli ImiBhalo Engcwele.
“UNkulunkulu wathi: Masenze abantu ngomfanekiso wethu, basifuze, babuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, nezinyoni zezulu, nezinkomo, nomhlaba wonke, nezilwanyana zonke ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni.”—Genesise 1:26, IBhayibheli Elingcwele.
Incazelo kaGenesise 1:26
Abantu badalwa ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu okwenza bakwazi ukuba nezimfanelo uNkulunkulu anazo, njengothando, uzwela nobulungisa. Lokho kusenza sibone ukuthi kungani abantu bekwazi ukulingisa ubuntu bukaNkulunkulu.
“UNkulunkulu wathi: ‘Masenze umuntu ngomfanekiso wethu.’” Ngaphambi kokuba uJehovaa uNkulunkulu adale noma yini, wadala ingelosi enamandla kamuva eyabizwa ngokuthi uJesu. Esebenza noJesu, uNkulunkulu ‘wadala ngaye zonke ezinye izinto emazulwini nasemhlabeni.’ (Kolose 1:16) UJesu wabulingisa kahle kakhulu ubuntu bukaJehova—le ndodana kaNkulunkulu “ingumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ongabonakali.” (Kolose 1:15) Kuyafaneleka-ke, ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayengathi kuJesu: “Masenze umuntu ngomfanekiso wethu.”
“Athotshelwe . . . izilwane ezifuywayo nawo wonke umhlaba.” Izilwane azenziwanga ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. Azidalwanga njengabantu, azikwazi ukubonisa ubuntu obunjengothando nokuba nonembeza. Noma kunjalo, uNkulunkulu uyazikhathalela. Yingakho uNkulunkulu athi umuntu “wayeyothotshelwa izilwane” okusho ukuthi “babeyobusa phezu kwezilwane,” (New International Version) noma “bazilawule” (Common English Bible). Ngokusho kanjalo uNkulunkulu wayenikeza abantu isibopho sokuba bazinakekele kahle izilwane. (IHubo 8:6-8; IzAga 12:10) UJehova ulindele ukuba abantu bawuphathe kahle umhlaba nazo zonke izinto eziphila kuwo.
