UKristu mkhulu kunoMose, eyindodana yasendlini

1 Ngakho-ke, bazalwane abangcwele, enihlanganyela ukubiza kwasezulwini, qaphelani umPhostoli nomPristi omkhulu wesivumo sethu uJesu,

2 owayethembeka kuyena owammisayo, njengoMose naye wayenjalo endlini yakhe yonke.

3 Ngokuba lowo kwathiwa ufanele inkazimulo enkulu kunoMose, njengalokhu oyakhileyo indlu unodumo olukhulu kunendlu.

4Ngokuba yileyo ndlu yakhiwa ngothile; kepha owakha konke nguNkulunkulu.

5UMose kambe wayethembekile endlini yakhe yonke njengenceku, kuze kube ngubufakazi balokho obekuzakukhulunywa,

6 kepha uKristu uthembekile njengendodana phezu kwendlu yakhe, esiyindlu yakhe thina, uma sibambisisa isibindi nentokozo yethemba liqine kuze kube sekupheleni.

Abakholwayo mabangadeleli izwi lakhe

7 Ngalokho njengokusho kukaMoya oNgcwele ukuthi:

“Namuhla, uma nilizwa izwi lakhe,

8 ningazenzi lukhuni izinhliziyo zenu njengasekucunuleni

ngosuku lokulingwa ehlane,

9lapho oyihlo bangilinga bengihlola,

noma bebona imisebenzi yami iminyaka engamashumi amane;

10ngalokho nganengwa yileso sizukulwane,

ngathi: ‘Bayaduka njalonjalo enhliziyweni yabo,

abazazanga izindlela zami,’

11ngaze ngafunga ekuthukutheleni kwami,

ngathi: ‘Abayikungena ekuphumuleni kwami.’ ”

12 Xwayani, bazalwane, ukuba nakoyedwa kini kungabikho nhliziyo embi, engakholwayo, emhlubukisa kuNkulunkulu ophilayo;

13kepha yalanani imihla ngemihla kusathiwa namuhla, ukuze kungabikho kini owenziwa lukhuni ngokukhohlisa kwesono,

14 ngokuba sesingabahlanganyela kuKristu, uma sibambisisa ithemba lethu lokuqala kuze kube sekupheleni.

15Uma kuthiwa:

“Namuhla, uma nilizwa izwi lakhe,

ningazenzi lukhuni izinhliziyo zenu

njengasekucunuleni,”

16pho-ke, yibaphi abezwayo bacunula na? Akusibo bonke abaphuma eGibithe ngoMose na?

17 Yibaphi-ke anengwa yibo iminyaka engamashumi amane na? Kwakungesibo abonayo, abazidumbu zabo zawa ehlane na?

18 Yibaphi afunga kubo ngokuthi abayikungena ekuphumuleni kwakhe, uma kungesibo abangalalelanga na?

19Siyabona-ke ukuthi babengenakungena ngenxa yokungakholwa kwabo.
