Inceba kaThixo noMntu
UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
IiPentateuch Uthe esalindile, amadoda abamba isandla sakhe, nesandla somkakhe, nesandla seentombi zakhe zombini, uYehova enenceba kuye, amkhupha, ammisa ngaphandle komzi. IGenesis 19:16 Khawubone, umkhonzi wakho ufumene ubabalo emehlweni akho, waza wakhulisa inceba yakho ondenzele yona ngokundisindisa ebomini, andinakukwazi ukubalekela entabeni, hleze ndibanjwe bububi ndize ndife. IGenesis 19:19 Wathi, Makabongwe uYehova, uThixo wenkosi yam uAbraham, ongayishiyanga inceba yakhe nenyaniso yakhe enkosini yam; ndisesendleleni, uYehova undikhokelele endlwini yabazalwana benkosi yam. IGenesis 24:27 Andifanelekanga yiyo yonke inceba nenyaniso oyibonakalisileyo kumkhonzi wakho; kuba ndayiwela le Yordan ngentonga yam, ngoku ndibe ngamaqela amabini. IGenesis 32:10 Kodwa uYehova wayenoYosefu, wamenzela inceba, wamnika ubabalo emehlweni omgcini wentolongo. IGenesis 39:21 Ngamana uThixo uSomandla anganinika inceba phambi kwendoda leyo, ukuze imkhulule omnye umntakwenu, noBhenjamin, ukuba mna ndihluthwe abantwana, ndihluthwe. IGenesis 43:14 Ubakhokele ngenceba yakho abantu obahlawuleleyo, wabakhokela ngamandla akho, wabayisa ekhayeni lakho elingcwele. IEksodus 15:13 Ndibenzela inceba amawaka abo bandithandayo, nabagcina imiyalelo yam. IEksodus 20:6 Uze wenze isihlalo sokucamagusha ngegolide ecocekileyo; ubude baso bube ziikubhite ezimbini ezinesiqingatha, ububanzi baso bube yikubhite enesiqingatha. Uze wenze iikherubhi ezimbini zegolide, uzenzele umsebenzi ocoliweyo, eziphelweni zombini zesihlalo sokucamagusha. Yenza ikherubhi enye ibe kwelinye icala, nekherubhi enye ibe kwelinye icala; wenze iikherubhi zibe ngakwisigqubuthelo socamagushelo, zibe seziphelweni zaso zozibini. Iikherubhi maziwolule amaphiko azo phezulu, zigubungele isihlalo sokucamagusha ngamaphiko azo, ubuso bazo bujongane; ubuso beekherubhi buya kubhekisa esihlalweni sokucamagusha. Uze ubeke isihlalo sokucamagusha phezu kwetyeya, ubeke ubungqina endiya kukunika bona etyeyeni. Ndiya kuhlangana nawe apho, ndithethe nawe ndiphezu kwesihlalo sokucamagusha, phakathi kweekherubhi ezimbini eziphezu kwetyeya yobungqina, ngayo yonke into endiya kukunika yona njengomyalelo koonyana bakaSirayeli. Eksodus 25: 17-22 Uze ubeke isihlalo sokucamagusha phezu kwetyeya yobungqina kwindawo engcwele kakhulu. IEksodus 26:34
Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
Uze uyibeke phambi komkhusane osecaleni kwetyeya yobungqina, phambi kwesihlalo sokucamagusha esiphezu kobungqina, apho ndiya kuhlangana nawe khona. IEksodus 30:6 intente yokuhlangana, netyeya yobungqina, nesihlalo sokucamagusha esiphezu kwayo, nazo zonke iimpahla zentente yokuhlangana, IEksodus 31:7 Wathi, Ndiya kukudlulisa konke ukulunga kwam phambi kwakho, ndivakalise igama likaYehova phambi kwakho, ndibabale endibabalayo, ndibabale endibabalayo. IEksodus 33:19 UYehova wadlula phambi kwakhe, wavakalisa esithi, UYehova, uYehova, uThixo onenceba, onobabalo, ozeka kade umsindo, onobubele nenyaniso eninzi; ogcinela amawaka inceba, oxolela ubugwenxa, nokreqo, nesono, ongayi kukhulula onetyala; ophindezela ubugwenxa booyise kubantwana, nakubantwana babantwana, kwesesithathu nakwesesine isizukulwana. Eksodus 34: 6-7 Ityeya, nezibonda zayo, nesihlalo sokucamagusha, nomkhusane wesigqubuthelo, IEksodus 35:12 Wenza isihlalo sokucamagusha ngegolide ecocekileyo; ubude baso babuziikubhite ezimbini ezinesiqingatha, nobubanzi baso buziikubhite ezinesiqingatha. Wenza iikherubhi ezimbini ngegolide, wazenza ngomsonto omnye, eziphelweni zombini zesihlalo sokucamagusha; Ikherubhi enye ikwicala eli, nekherubhi enye ikwicala eli, ibekwe ecaleni ... phezu kwentloko, ibekwe phezu kwentloko. Iikherubhi zolula amaphiko azo phezulu, zasigubungela ngamaphiko azo isihlalo sokucamagusha, ubuso bazo bujongene, ubuso beekherubhi bubheke ngasesihlalweni sokucamagusha. Eksodus 37: 69 Ityeya yesingqino, nezibonda zayo, nesihlalo sokucamagusha, IEksodus 39:35 Wathabatha ubungqina, wabufaka etyeyeni, wazifaka izibonda etyeyeni, wabeka isihlalo sokucamagusha phezu kwetyeya phezulu; IEksodus 40:20 Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Thetha kuAron umntakwenu, ukuba angangeni ngamaxesha onke engcweleni ngaphakathi komkhusane phambi kwesihlalo sokucamagusha esiphezu kwetyeya, ukuze angafi; kuba ndiya kubonakala efini phezu kwesihlalo sokucamagusha. Levitikus 16:2 Wobeka isiqhumiso emlilweni phambi koYehova, ukuze ilifu lesiqhumiso lisibekele isihlalo sokucamagusha esiphezu kwesingqino, ukuze angafi. Wothabatha igazi lenkunzi yenkomo, alifefe ngomnwe wakhe phezu kwesihlalo sokucamagusha ngasempumalanga, aze afefe igazi ngomnwe wakhe phambi kwesihlalo sokucamagusha izihlandlo ezisixhenxe. Woyixhela ibhokhwe yedini lesono, eyeyabantu, alizise igazi layo ngaphakathi komkhusane, enze ngegazi elo njengoko wenzayo ngegazi lenkunzi, alifefe phezu kwesihlalo socamagushelo, naphambi kwesihlalo socamagushelo. Levitikus 16: 13-15 Xa uMoses wangena ententeni yokuhlangana ukuze athethe naye, weva ilizwi lithetha naye livela esihlalweni sokucamagusha esiphezu kwetyeya yobungqina, livela phakathi kweekherubhi ezimbini; wathetha naye. INumeri 7:89 UYehova uzeka kade umsindo, unenceba enkulu, uxolela ubugwenxa nezikreqo, kwaye akayi kumenza msulwa onetyala, kodwa ubuyekeza ubugwenxa booyise kubantwana, kude kube sesizukulwana sesithathu nesesine. Ndicela uxolo, ndiyakuncenga, ubugwenxa baba bantu ngokobukhulu benceba yakho, njengoko ubuxolele aba bantu, ukususela eYiputa kude kube ngoku. Numeri 14: 18-19

(Kuba uYehova uThixo wakho nguThixo onenceba; akayi kukushiya, akayi kukutshabalalisa, akayi kuwulibala umnqophiso wooyihlo awabafungela wona.) IDuteronomi 4:31 Ndibenzela inceba amawaka abo bandithandayo nabagcina imiyalelo yam. IDuteronomi 5:10 Xa athe uYehova uThixo wakho wabanikela kuwe, wobaxabela, ubatshabalalise ngokupheleleyo; ungenzi mnqophiso nabo, ungabi nanceba kubo; Yazi ke ngoko ukuba uYehova uThixo wakho unguThixo, uThixo othembekileyo, ogcina umnqophiso nenceba kwabo bamthandayo, abagcina imiyalelo yakhe, kude kuse kwizizukulwana eziliwaka; Kothi ke, ukuba nithe nayiphulaphula le migwebo, nayigcina, nayenza, uYehova uThixo wenu uya kunigcinela umnqophiso nenceba awayifungela ooyihlo; IDuteronomi 7:2 , 9, 12 Akukho nto iseleyo esandleni sakho, ukuze uYehova abuye ekuvutheni komsindo wakhe, akuphathele inceba, abe nemfesane kuwe, akwandise, njengoko wafungayo kooyihlo; IDuteronomi 13:17 Yiba nenceba, Yehova, kubantu bakho amaSirayeli, obahlawuleleyo, ungalibaleli igazi elingenatyala ebantwini bakho amaSirayeli, ukuze baxolelwe igazi elo. IDuteronomi 21:8 Memelelani, zintlanga, kunye nabantu bakhe; kuba uya kuliphindezelela igazi labakhonzi bakhe, abuyisele impindezelo kubachasi bakhe, abe nenceba kwilizwe lakhe nakubantu bakhe. IDuteronomi 32:43
Imbali Iintlola zabona indoda iphuma kuloo mzi, zathi kuyo, Khawusibonise indlela yokungena kulo mzi, size sikuphathele inceba. Abagwebi 1:24 Kodwa inceba yam ayiyi kusuka kuye, njengoko ndayisusayo kuSawule, endamsusayo phambi kwakho. 2 Samuweli 7:15 Ekubeni ufike izolo nje, ndifanele ndikunyanzele na namhlanje ukuba uzulazule nathi? Ekubeni ndisiya apho ndingakwazi khona, buya, ubuyise abazalwana bakho; inceba nenyaniso mazibe nawe. 2 Samuweli 15:20 Konenceba uya kuzibonakalisa uthembekile, nakothe tye uya kuzibonakalisa uthembekile. 2 Samuweli 22:26 Uyinqaba yosindiso kukumkani wakhe; Uyenzela inceba umthanjiswa wakhe, kuDavide, nakwimbewu yakhe ngonaphakade. 2 Samuweli 22:51 Wathi uDavide kuGadi, Ndibandezelekile kakhulu; masiwele esandleni sikaYehova, ngokuba inceba yakhe inkulu; mandingaweli esandleni somntu. 2 Samuweli 24:14 USolomon wathi: “Umenzele umkhonzi wakho uDavide ubawo inceba enkulu, njengoko wayehamba phambi kwakho ngenyaniso, nangobulungisa, nangokuthe tye kwentliziyo kuwe, wamgcinela olu bubele bukhulu, wamnika unyana ukuba ahlale etroneni yakhe, njengoko kunjalo namhla.” 1 Kumkani 3:6

Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
Wathi, Yehova, Thixo kaSirayeli, akukho Thixo unjengawe, ezulwini phezulu nasemhlabeni phantsi, ogcina umnqophiso nenceba kubakhonzi bakho abahamba phambi kwakho ngentliziyo yabo yonke; 1 Kumkani 8:23 Bathi kuye abakhonzi bakhe, Khawubone, sivile ukuba ookumkani bendlu kaSirayeli ngookumkani abanenceba; masithi, masenze iingubo ezirhwexayo ezinqeni zethu, neentambo ezintlokweni zethu, siphume siye kukumkani wakwaSirayeli; mhlawumbi angakusindisa ubomi bakho. 1 Kumkani 20:31 Bulelani kuYehova, ngokuba elungile, ngokuba inceba yakhe ingunaphakade. 1 IziKronike 16:34 Babekunye noHeman noYedutun, nabanye abanyulwa, abakhankanywa ngamagama, ukuba babulele kuYehova, ngokuba inceba yakhe ingunaphakade; 1 IziKronike 16:41 Mna ndiya kuba nguyise, yena abe ngunyana wam; andiyi kuyisusa inceba yam kuye, njengoko ndayisusayo kowayekho phambi kwakho. 1 Kronike 17:13 Wathi uDavide kuGadi, Ndibandezelekile kakhulu; mandiwele esandleni sikaYehova, ngokuba inceba yakhe inkulu kakhulu; mandingaweli esandleni somntu. 1 Kronike 21:13 UDavide wanika uSolomon unyana wakhe umfanekiso wevaranda, nezindlu zayo, noovimba bayo, namagumbi ayo aphezulu, namagumbi ayo angaphakathi, nendawo yesihlalo sokucamagusha; 1 Kronike 28:11 Wathi uSolomon kuThixo, Wena wenze inceba enkulu kuDavide ubawo, wandibeka ukuba ndibe ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe. 2 Kronike 1:8 Kwathi ke, xa abavutheli bamaxilongo neemvumi babefana ngazwi linye, bevakalisa isandi esinye sokudumisa nokubulela uYehova, naxa bephakamisa ilizwi labo ngamaxilongo, namacangci, nezixhobo zomculo, bedumisa uYehova, besithi, Kuba ulungile, ngokuba inceba yakhe ingunaphakade, yaza ke indlu yazaliswa lilifu, indlu kaYehova; 2 Kronike 5:13 Wathi, Yehova, Thixo kaSirayeli, akukho Thixo unjengawe emazulwini nasemhlabeni, ogcina umnqophiso nenceba kubakhonzi bakho abahamba phambi kwakho ngentliziyo yabo yonke; Yehova Thixo, musa ukumfulathela umthanjiswa wakho; khumbula iinceba zomkhonzi wakho uDavide. 2 IziKronike 6:14 , 42 Bathi bonke oonyana bakaSirayeli, bebona ukuhla komlilo, nobuqaqawuli bukaYehova buphezu kwendlu, baqubuda, babhekisa ubuso babo emhlabeni phezu kwendlela egangathiweyo, baqubuda, badumisa uYehova, besithi, Ngokuba ulungile, ngokuba inceba yakhe ingunaphakade. Ababingeleli babemi ngokwemisebenzi yabo, kunye nabaLevi, beneempahla zokuvuma zikaYehova, awayezenzile uDavide ukumkani ukudumisa uYehova, ngokuba inceba yakhe ingunaphakade, xa uDavide wayedumisa ngenkonzo yabo; kwaye ababingeleli babevuthela amaxilongo phambi kwabo, kwaye wonke uSirayeli wayemi. 2 IziKronike 7:3 , 6 Uthe akuba ecebisene nabantu, wamisa iimvumi zikaYehova, ezaziya kumdumisa, zihombise ubungcwele, njengoko zaziphuma zikhokela umkhosi, zisithi, Mdumiseni uYehova, ngokuba inceba yakhe ingunaphakade. 2 Kronike 20:21

Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
Kuba ukuba nibuyela kuYehova, abazalwana benu nabantwana benu baya kufumana inceba phambi kwabo babathimbileyo, baze babuyele kweli lizwe; kuba uYehova uThixo wenu unobabalo nenceba, akayi kubususa ubuso bakhe kuni, ukuba nibuyela kuye. 2 Kronike 30:9 Bavuma kunye bedumisa bebulela uYehova, besithi, “Ulungile, inceba yakhe ingunaphakade kuSirayeli.” Bonke abantu baduma ngelizwi elikhulu, bedumisa uYehova, kuba isiseko sendlu kaYehova sasibekwe. UEzra 3:11 Undinike inceba phambi kokumkani, nabacebisi bakhe, naphambi kwazo zonke iinkosana zokumkani ezinamandla. Ndaqina njengoko isandla sikaYehova uThixo wam sasiphezu kwam, ndaza ndaqokelela amadoda amakhulu kwaSirayeli, ukuba enyuke nam. UEzra 7:28 Kuba besingamakhoboka; kodwa uThixo wethu akasishiyanga ebukhobokeni bethu, kodwa usolulele inceba phambi kookumkani basePersi, ukuze asinike ukuphumla, ukuvuselela indlu kaThixo wethu, nokulungisa iindawo eziphanzileyo zayo, nokusinika udonga kwaYuda naseYerusalem. UEzra 9:9 Ndathi, Ndiyakubongoza, Yehova, Thixo wamazulu, Thixo omkhulu nowoyikekayo, obagcinela umnqophiso nenceba abo bamthandayo, nabagcina imiyalelo yakhe. Ndiyakuncenga, Nkosi yam, indlebe yakho mayibe nomonde kumthandazo womkhonzi wakho, nakumthandazo wabakhonzi bakho, abanqwenela ukoyika igama lakho; nceda uphumelele umkhonzi wakho namhlanje, umnike inceba phambi kwale ndoda. Kuba bendingumngcamli wewayini wokumkani. UNehemiya 1:5 , 11 Abavumanga ukuva, abayikhumbulanga imisebenzi yakho ebalulekileyo owayenzayo phakathi kwabo; bazenza lukhuni iintamo zabo, baza ekuvukeleni kwabo bamisa umphathi ukuba babuyele ebukhobokeni babo; kodwa wena unguThixo oxolelayo, onobabalo nenceba, ozeka kade umsindo, nobubele obukhulu, awubashiyanga. Kodwa wena ngenceba yakho enkulu awubashiyanga entlango; intsika yelifu ayisukanga kubo emini ukuba ibakhokele endleleni, nomqulu womlilo ebusuku ukuba ubakhanyisele, nendlela abafanele bahambe ngayo. Wabanikela esandleni seentshaba zabo, ezathi zabacinezela; ngexesha lokubandezeleka kwabo, bakukhala kuwe, wabava usemazulwini; ngokweenceba zakho ezininzi wabanika abasindisi, ababasindisa esandleni seentshaba zabo. Bakuba bephumle, babuya benza ububi phambi kwakho; wabashiya esandleni seentshaba zabo, babalawula; babuya bakhala kuwe, wabava usemazulwini; wabahlangula izihlandlo ezininzi ngokweenceba zakho; Kodwa ngenxa yenceba yakho enkulu akubatshabalalisanga, akubashiyanga, kuba unguThixo onobabalo nenceba. Kaloku ke, Thixo wethu, Thixo omkhulu, onamandla, nowoyikekayo, ogcina umnqophiso nenceba, masingaze sibonakale sincinci phambi kwakho sonke esi siganeko sifikele thina, ookumkani bethu, neenkosana zethu, nababingeleli bethu, nabaprofeti bethu, noobawo bethu, nabantu bakho bonke, ukususela kwixesha lookumkani baseAsiriya kude kube namhlanje. UNehemiya 9:17 , 19, 27-28, 31-32 Ndayalela abaLevi ukuba bazihlambulule, baze beze bagcine amasango, ukuze kungcwaliswe umhla wesabatha. Ndikhumbule, Thixo wam, nangale nto, undihlangule ngokobukhulu benceba yakho. UNehemiya 13:22
Imibongo Uyenza ifike, nokuba kungenxa yokulungisa, okanye ngenxa yelizwe lakhe, okanye ngenxa yenceba. UYobhi 37:13

(Kumbhexeshi womculo weNeginoth, iNdumiso kaDavide.) Ndive xa ndibiza, Thixo wobulungisa bam; undikhulule ekubandezelekeni kwam; yiba nenceba kum, uwuve umthandazo wam. INdumiso 4:1 Ke mna, ndiya kungena endlwini yakho ngobuninzi benceba yakho, ndiqubude ndijonge etempileni yakho engcwele ngokoyika kwakho.

Kodwa ndithembele kwinceba yakho; intliziyo yam iya kuvuya ngosindiso lwakho. INdumiso 13:5 Konenceba uya kuzibonakalisa unenceba, kwindoda ethe tye uya kuzibonakalisa ulungile; Unika ukumkani wakhe usindiso olukhulu; Umenzela inceba umthanjiswa wakhe, uDavide, nembewu yakhe kude kuse ephakadeni. INdumiso 18:25 , 30 Kuba ukumkani uthembele kuYehova, yaye ngenceba yoPhezukonke akayi kushukunyiswa. INdumiso 21:7 Inene, ukulunga nenceba ziya kundilandela yonke imihla yobomi bam; Ndihlale endlwini kaYehova ngonaphakade. INdumiso 23:6 Khumbula, Yehova, iinceba zakho nobubele bakho, kuba bezikho kwakudala. Musa ukuzikhumbula izono zobutsha bam, nezikreqo zam; ndikhumbule ngokwenceba yakho, ngenxa yobubele bakho, Yehova. Zonke iindlela zikaYehova ziyinceba nenyaniso kwabo bagcina umnqophiso wakhe nezingqino zakhe. Buyela kum, undibabale; ngokuba ndililolo, ndibandezelekile. INdumiso 25:6-7, 10, 16 Mna ke, ndiya kuhamba ngengqibelelo yam; ndikhulule, undibabale. INdumiso 26:11 Yiva, Yehova, xa ndibiza ngezwi lam; yiba nenceba kum, undiphendule. INdumiso 27:7 Yiva, Yehova, undibabale; Yehova, yiba ngumncedi wam. INdumiso 30:10 Ndiya kuvuya ndivuye ngenceba yakho, ngokuba uyibonile imbandezelo yam, waziqonda iimbandezelo zomphefumlo wam; Ndibabale, Yehova, ngokuba ndibandezelekile; Iliso lam liyaphela kukukhathazeka, nomphefumlo wam nesisu sam. Khanyisa ubuso bakho kumkhonzi wakho; Ndisindise ngenxa yenceba yakho. INdumiso 31:7 , 9, 16 Ungendawo uya kuba neentlungu ezininzi; kodwa okholosa ngoYehova uya kumjikela ngenceba. INdumiso 32:10 Yabona, iliso likaYehova likubo abamoyikayo, kwabo bathemba inceba yakhe; Inceba yakho mayibe phezu kwethu, Yehova, njengoko sikulindeleyo kuwe. INdumiso 33:18 , 22 Inceba yakho, Yehova, isemazulwini, Ukuthembeka kwakho kufikelele emafini. INdumiso 36:5

Uya kuthuma esezulwini, andisindise ekungcikivweni kwakhe ondiginyayo. Sela. UThixo uya kuthuma inceba yakhe nenyaniso yakhe.

Kodwa mna ndiya kucula ngamandla akho, ewe, ndiya kucula ngenceba yakho kusasa, kuba ubuyinqaba yam nendawo yokusabela ngemini yokubandezeleka kwam. Mandla am, ndiya kukuculela, ngokuba uThixo yingxonde yam, nguThixo wenceba yam. INdumiso 59:5 , 10, 16-17 Uya kuhlala phambi koThixo ngonaphakade; Mlungiselele inceba nenyaniso, ukuba zimlondoloze.

Inceba nenyaniso ziyahlangana, ubulungisa noxolo ziyangana. INdumiso 85:7 , 10 Ndibabale, Nkosi; ngokuba ndikhala kuwe imihla ngemihla. Ngokuba wena, Nkosi, ulungile, ulungele ukuxolela; Unobubele obukhulu kubo bonke abakunqulayo. Ngokuba inceba yakho inkulu kum; Uwuhlangule umphefumlo wam esihogweni esingaphantsi. Kodwa wena, Nkosi, unguThixo onenceba, onobabalo, ozeka kade umsindo, onobubele nenyaniso eninzi. Ndibheke, undibabale; Mnike amandla akho umkhonzi wakho, Umsindise unyana womkhonzazana wakho. INdumiso 86:3 , 5, 13, 15-16 (Ingoma kaEtan umEzra.) Ndiya kuvuma ngeenceba zikaYehova ngonaphakade; ngomlomo wam ndiya kwazisa ukuthembeka kwakho kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana. Kuba ndithe, Inceba iya kwakhiwa ngonaphakade; Ukuthembeka kwakho uya kukuzinzisa emazulwini. Ubulungisa nobulungisa ziyindawo yokuhlala yetrone yakho; inceba nenyaniso ziya kuhamba phambi kobuso bakho. Kodwa ukuthembeka kwam nenceba yam kuya kuba naye; egameni lam uphondo lwakhe luya kuphakama. Ndiya kumgcinela inceba yam ngonaphakade, nomnqophiso wam uya kuhlala uqinile naye. INdumiso 89:1-2, 14, 24 , 28 Sanelise kwangethuba ngenceba yakho; ukuze sivuye, sivuye yonke imihla yethu. INdumiso 90:14 Xa ndithi, Unyawo lwam luyatyibilika, Inceba yakho, Yehova, indixhase. INdumiso 94:18 Ukhumbule inceba yakhe nenyaniso yakhe kwindlu kaSirayeli: zonke iziphelo zomhlaba zilubonile usindiso lukaThixo wethu. INdumiso 98:3 Ngokuba uYehova ulungile, inceba yakhe kukwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana. INdumiso 100:5

(Indumiso kaDavide.) Ndiya kuvuma ngenceba nangomgwebo; ndiya kukubethela uhadi, Yehova. INdumiso 101:1 Uya kusukuma, ube nenceba kwiZiyon; ngokuba ixesha lokuyibabala lifikile, ewe, ixesha elimiselweyo. INdumiso 102:13 Ohlangula ubomi bakho ekutshabalaleni, okunika isithsaba senceba nenceba; UYehova unenceba nesisa, uzeka kade umsindo, kwaye unenceba eninzi. Ngokuba njengoko izulu liphezulu phezu komhlaba, injalo inceba yakhe enkulu kwabo bamoyikayo. Kodwa inceba kaYehova ikwabamoyikayo, ukususela kwaphakade kude kuse ephakadeni, nobulungisa bakhe bukwabantwana babantwana; INdumiso 103:4 , 8 , 11, 17 Dumisani uYehova, bulelani uYehova, ngokuba elungile, ngokuba inceba yakhe ingunaphakade. Oobawo bethu abazange bayiqonde imimangaliso yakho eYiputa; abazange bayikhumbule inceba

INdumiso 108:4 Makungabikho mntu wolulela inceba kuye, Kungabikho mntu ubathandayo abantwana bakhe abangenayise. Ngenxa yokuba wayengakukhumbuli ukwenza inceba, kodwa watshutshisa indoda ehlwempuzekileyo nehlwempuzekileyo, ukuze abulale kwanentliziyo eyaphukileyo. Ke wena, Yehova, Nkosi yam, ndenzele ngenxa yegama lakho; Ngokokuba ilungile inceba yakho; ndihlangule. Ndincede, Yehova Thixo wam, ndisindise ngokwenceba yakho. INdumiso 109:12 , 16 , 21, 26 Hayi kuthi, Yehova, hayi kuthi, kodwa malizukiswe igama lakho, ngenxa yenceba yakho, nangenxa yenyaniso yakho. INdumiso 115:1 UYehova unobabalo, ulilungisa; uThixo wethu unenceba. INdumiso 116:5 Ngokuba inceba yakhe inkulu kuthi, nenyaniso kaYehova ingunaphakade. Dumisani uYehova.

Mabathi ke abo bamoyikayo uYehova, inceba yakhe ingunaphakade. Bulelani kuYehova, ngokuba elungile, ngokuba inceba yakhe ingunaphakade. INdumiso 118:1-4 , 29 Mazize kum iinceba zakho, Yehova, usindiso lwakho ngokwelizwi lakho. Ndithandazele kuwe ngentliziyo yam yonke; Ndibabale ngokwelizwi lakho. Ihlabathi lizele yinceba yakho, Yehova; Ndifundise imimiselo yakho. Ndicela inceba yakho mayibe yeyokundithuthuzela, ngokwelizwi lakho kumkhonzi wakho. Mazize kum iinceba zakho, ukuze ndiphile, Ngokuba umthetho wakho uyandiyolisa. Mphathe umkhonzi wakho ngokwenceba yakho, Undifundise imimiselo yakho. Ndijonge, ube nenceba kum, njengoko wenzayo kwabo bathanda igama lakho. Zininzi iinceba zakho, Yehova; ndiphilise ngokwezigwebo zakho.

UYehova uya kundigqibezela konke okuphathelele mna; Inceba yakho, Yehova, ingunaphakade; Musa ukuyishiya imisebenzi yezandla zakho. INdumiso 138:8 Ngenceba yakho zinqumle iintshaba zam, Ubatshabalalise bonke ababandezelayo umphefumlo wam; Ngokuba ndingumkhonzi wakho. INdumiso 143:12 UYehova unobabalo nenceba, uzeka kade umsindo, unenceba enkulu. UYehova ulungile kubo bonke, nenceba yakhe iphezu kwemisebenzi yakhe yonke. INdumiso 145: 8-9 UYehova uyakholiswa ngabo bamoyikayo, ngabo bathemba inceba yakhe. INdumiso 147:11 Inceba nenyaniso mazingakushiyi; Zibophe entanyeni yakho, uzibhale elucwecweni lwentliziyo yakho. IMizekeliso 3:3 Umntu onenceba uyawuphatha kakuhle umphefumlo wakhe, kodwa umntu okhohlakeleyo uyayikhathaza inyama yakhe. IMizekeliso 11:17 Ilungisa liyawukhathalela umphefumlo wesilwanyana salo; kodwa inceba yabangendawo inzima. IMizekeliso 12:10 Omdelayo ummelwane wakhe uyona; kodwa onenceba kumahlwempu, unoyolo yena. Abalahleki na abo baceba ububi? Kodwa inceba nenyaniso ziya kuba kwabo baceba okulungileyo. Ocinezela ihlwempu ugxeka uMenzi walo; kodwa omnika inceba ihlwempu uyamzukisa. IMizekeliso 14:21 22,31 Ngenceba nenyaniso ubugwenxa buyahlanjululwa; ngokoyika uYehova abantu bayayeka ububi. IMizekeliso 16:6 Inceba nenyaniso ziyamlondoloza ukumkani; Itrone yakhe ixhaswa yinceba.

Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36

Isiprofeto Ngenxa yoko iNkosi ayiyi kuvuya ngamadodana abo, ingabi nanceba kwiinkedama zabo nabahlolokazi babo; kuba bonke bangabahanahanisi nabenzi bobubi, kwaye umlomo ngamnye uthetha ubuyatha. Ngenxa yale nto yonke umsindo wakhe awubuyi, kodwa isandla sakhe sisasoluliwe. Isaya 9:17 Kuba uYehova uya kuba nenceba kuYakobi, aphinde amnyule uSirayeli, ambeke emhlabeni wakhe; abasemzini baya kunamathela kubo, banamathele endlwini kaYakobi. Isaya 14:1 Itrone iya kuzinziswa ngenceba, ahlale phezu kwayo ngenyaniso ententeni kaDavide, egweba, efuna okusesikweni, ekhawuleza ubulungisa. Isaya 16:5 Xa amasebe awo omile, aya kwaphulwa; abafazi baya kuza, bawatshise; kuba ngabantu abangenakuqonda; ngenxa yoko lowo wabenzayo akayi kuba nanceba kubo, nalowo wababumbayo akayi kubababala. Isaya 27:11 Ngenxa yoko uYehova uya kulinda, ukuze abe nenceba kuni, aze ngenxa yoko aphakame, ukuze abe nenceba kuni; ngokuba uYehova nguThixo wogwebo; banoyolo bonke abamlindeleyo. Isaya 30:18 Ndaba nomsindo kubantu bam, ndalingcolisa ilifa lam, ndabanikela esandleni sakho; awubaphathanga nceba; phezu kwabadala wabeka idyokhwe yakho nzima kakhulu. Isaya 47:6 Abayi kulamba, abayi kunxanwa, nobushushu nelanga aziyi kubabetha; kuba onenceba kubo uya kubakhokela, aze abakhokele emithonjeni yamanzi. Memelelani, mazulu; nivuye, mhlaba; nigqabhuke nimemelele, zintaba; kuba uYehova ubathuthuzele abantu bakhe, unenceba kwababandezelekileyo bakhe. Isaya 49:10,13 Ndikushiya okomzuzwana nje, kodwa ndiya kukubutha ngenceba enkulu. Ndibufihlile ubuso bam kuwe okomzuzwana, kodwa ngenceba engunaphakade ndiya kuba nenceba kuwe, utsho uYehova uMkhululi wakho. Ngokuba iintaba ziya kumka, neenduli zisuswe; kodwa inceba yam ayiyi kumka kuwe, nomnqophiso wam woxolo awuyi kushukuma, utsho uYehova onenceba kuwe. Isaya 54:78,10 Thobani indlebe yenu, nize kum; yivani, umphefumlo wenu uya kuphila; ndiya kwenza umnqophiso ongunaphakade nani, iinceba ezithembekileyo zikaDavide. Ongendawo makashiye indlela yakhe, nomntu ongendawo makashiye iingcinga zakhe; makabuyele kuYehova, abe nenceba kuye; nakuThixo wethu, ngokuba uya kuxolela kakhulu. Isaya 55:3,7 Ilungisa liyatshabalala, akukho mntu ukubekela bucala oko; nabantu abanenceba bayasuswa, akukho mntu ucinga ukuba ilungisa lisusiwe ebubini obuzayo. Isaya 57:1 Oonyana bolunye uhlanga baya kuzakha iindonga zakho, ookumkani babo bakulungiselele, kuba ndikubethe ngomsindo, kodwa ndinenceba kuwe ngenceba yam. Isaya 60:10

Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
Ndiza kukhankanya iinceba zikaYehova, neendumiso zikaYehova, ngako konke uYehova asinike kona, nokulunga okukhulu kwindlu kaSirayeli, awabanika kona ngokweenceba zakhe, nangokwenceba yakhe eninzi. Khangela ezantsi usezulwini, ubone usekhayeni lakho lobungcwele nozuko lwakho: Iphi na inzondelelo yakho namandla akho, ukuvakala kwentliziyo yakho neenceba zakho kum? Zithintelwe na? Isaya 63:7,15 Hamba uye kuvakalisa la mazwi ngasentla, uthi, Buya, Sirayeli ophambukayo, utsho uYehova; andiyi kukhubekisa umsindo wam kuni; ngokuba ndinenceba, utsho uYehova, andiyi kuhlala ndinomsindo ngonaphakade. Yeremiya 3:12 Babamba isaphetha nomkhonto; banoburhalarhume, abananceba; ilizwi labo ligquma njengolwandle; bakhwele amahashe, bexhobile njengabantu bemfazwe nxamnye nawe, ntombi yaseZiyon. Yeremiya 6:23 Ndiya kubaqhekeza omnye komnye, ooyise noonyana kunye, utsho uYehova; andiyi kuba nanceba, andiyi kuba nanceba, andiyi kuba nanceba, kodwa ndingayi kubatshabalalisa. Yeremiya 13:14 Kuba utsho uYehova ukuthi, Musa ukungena endlwini yesijwili, ungayi kulila, ungabalileli; ngokuba ndilususile uxolo lwam kwaba bantu, utsho uYehova, inceba nenceba. Yeremiya 16:5 Emveni koko, utsho uYehova, ndiya kumnikela uZedekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, nabakhonzi bakhe, nabantu, nabaseleyo kulo mzi, kwindyikitya yokufa, nasekreleni, nasendlaleni, esandleni sikaNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabheli, nasesandleni seentshaba zabo, nasesandleni sabo bafuna ubomi babo; ababethe ngohlangothi lwekrele, akayi kuba nanceba kubo, akayi kuba nanceba, akayi kuba nanceba kubo. Yeremiya 21:7 Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndiya kukubuyisa abathinjiweyo beentente zikaYakobi, ndibe nenceba kwiindawo zakhe zokuhlala; umzi uya kwakhiwa emfuleni wawo, nendlu ende ihlale ngokwesiko layo. Yeremiya 30:18 Ngaba uEfrayim ngunyana wam othandekayo na? Ngaba ngumntwana othandekayo na? Kuba okoko ndimthethileyo kakubi, ndisamkhumbula kakhulu; ngenxa yoko izibilini zam ziyakhala ngenxa yakhe; ndiya kuba nenceba kuye, utsho uYehova. Yeremiya 31:20 Izwi lovuyo nelizwi lovuyo, ilizwi lomyeni nelizwi lomtshakazi, ilizwi labo bathi, Mdumiseni uYehova wemikhosi, ngokuba uYehova ulungile, ngokuba inceba yakhe ingunaphakade, nabo bazisa umbingelelo wombulelo endlwini kaYehova. Kuba ndiya kubuyisela abathinjwa belizwe njengasekuqaleni, utsho uYehova. Ndiya kuyilahla ke imbewu kaYakobi noDavide umkhonzi wam, ukuze ndingathathi namnye embewini yakhe abe ngumlawuli phezu kwembewu ka-Abraham, uIsake noYakobi; kuba ndiya kubuyisela abathinjwa babo, ndibe nenceba kubo. Yeremiya 33:11,26 Ndiya kunenzela inceba, ukuze yena abe nenceba kuni, anibuyisele ezweni lenu. Yeremiya 42:12 Baphethe isaphetha nentshuntshe, banoburhalarhume, abananceba; ilizwi labo liya kugquma njengolwandle, bakhwele amahashe, bonke bexhobile njengendoda yokulwa, beze kuwe, ntombi yaseBhabheli. Yeremiya 50:42 Kungenxa yenceba yeNkosi ukuba singagqitywanga, kuba inceba yakhe ayipheli. Nangona ebangela usizi, kodwa uya kuba nenceba ngokobuninzi benceba yakhe. IZililo 3:22,32

Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Kaloku ndiya kukubuyisa ukuthinjwa kukaYakobi, ndibe nemfesane kuyo yonke indlu kaSirayeli, ndibe nobukhwele ngegama lam elingcwele; Hezekile 39:25 Ukuba bacele inceba kuThixo wamazulu ngale mfihlakalo, ukuze uDaniyeli kunye noogxa bakhe bangatshabalali kunye nezinye izilumko zaseBhabhiloni. Daniyeli 2:18 Ngoko ke, kumkani, icebo lam malikholeke kuwe, uze ulahle izono zakho ngobulungisa, nobugwenxa bakho ngokuba nenceba kumahlwempu, ukuba oko kungakwandisa ukuzola kwakho. Daniyeli 4:27 Ndathandaza kuYehova uThixo wam, ndavuma, ndathi, Nkosi, Thixo omkhulu nowoyikekayo, ogcina umnqophiso nenceba kwabo bamthandayo, nabagcina imiyalelo yakhe; KuYehova uThixo wethu kukho iinceba noxolelo, nangona simvukela; Thixo wam, thobela indlebe yakho, uve; vula amehlo akho, ubone ukuchithwa kwethu, nomzi obizwa ngegama lakho; ngokuba asizisi izicelo zethu phambi kwakho ngenxa yobulungisa bethu, kodwa ngenxa yenceba yakho enkulu. Daniyeli 9:4,9,18 Waphinda wamitha, wazala intombi. Wathi uThixo kuye, Yithiye igama lokuba nguLoruhama; ngokuba andiyi kuba nanceba kwindlu kaSirayeli, kodwa ndiya kubasusa ngokupheleleyo. Ndiya kuba nenceba kwindlu kaYuda, ndibasindise ngoYehova uThixo wabo, ndingabasindisi ngasaphetha, nangakrele, nangamfazwe, nangamahashe, nangamahashe. UHoseya 1:6-7 Andiyi kuba nanceba kubantwana bakhe, kuba bangabantwana bobuhenyu. Hoseya 2:4 Ndokugana ube ngowam ngonaphakade, ewe, ndiya kukugana ube ngowam ngobulungisa, nangobulungisa, nangenceba, nangenceba. Ndiya kumhlwayela emhlabeni, ndimsikelele lowo ungazange afumane nceba, ndithi kwabo bangengobantu bam, Ningabantu bam; bathi, NinguThixo wam. Hoseya 2:19,23 Liveni ilizwi likaYehova, nyana bakaSirayeli, ngokuba uYehova ubambene nabemi belizwe, kuba akukho nyaniso, akukho nceba, akukho kwazi uThixo kweli lizwe. Hoseya 4:1 Ngokuba ndinonelele inceba, andinambithelo, nokwazi uThixo ngaphezu kwamadini anyukayo. Hoseya 6:6 Zihlwayeleleni ngobulungisa, vunani ngenceba; zikhubeleleni umhlaba wenu ongalinywanga; kuba lixesha lokumfuna uYehova, ade afike aninike ubulungisa. Hoseya 10:12 Ngoko ke buyela kuThixo wakho: gcina inceba nobulungisa, uthembele kuThixo wakho rhoqo. Hoseya 12:6 UAsiriya akayi kusisindisa; asiyi kukhwela amahashe; asisayi kuphinda sithi kumsebenzi wezandla zethu, Ningoothixo bethu; kuba kuwe inkedama ifumana inceba. Hoseya 14:3 Nikrazule intliziyo yenu, kungekhona iingubo zenu, nibuyele kuYehova uThixo wenu; kuba unobabalo nenceba, uzeka kade umsindo, unobubele obukhulu, uyazohlwaya ngenxa yobubi. Yoweli 2:13 Abo bagcina amampunge angento bashiya inceba yabo. Yona 2:8

Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
Wathandaza kuYehova, wathi, “Ndiyakubongoza, Yehova, ibingekuko na oku ukuthetha kwam ndisesezweni lakowethu?” Ngenxa yoko ndabaleka ndaya eTarshishe ngaphambili; kuba bendisazi ukuba unguThixo onobubele, onenceba, ozeka kade umsindo, onobubele obukhulu, kwaye uyaguquka ebubini.” Yona 4:2 Ukuxelile, mntundini, okulungileyo; kwaye uYehova ufuna ntoni kuwe, ngaphandle kokwenza okusesikweni, nokuthanda inceba, nokuhamba noThixo wakho ngokuthobeka? Mika 6:8 Ngubani na uThixo onjengawe, oxolela ubugwenxa, adlule esikreqweni samasalela elifa lakhe? Akayi kuhlala enomsindo ngonaphakade, kuba ethanda inceba. Uya kumnika uYakobi inyaniso, nenceba kuAbraham, owayifungela oobawo bethu kwasephakadeni. Mika 7:18,20 Yehova, ndiyivile intetho yakho, ndoyika; Yehova, vuselela umsebenzi wakho phakathi kweminyaka, yazise phakathi kweminyaka; khumbula inceba ngomsindo. Habhakuki 3:2 Ingelosi kaYehova yaphendula yathi, Yehova wemikhosi, koda kube nini na ungasikwa yimfesane kwiYerusalem nakwimizi yakwaYuda, owayicaphukelayo le minyaka ingamashumi asixhenxe? Ngenxa yoko utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ndibuyele eYerusalem ngenceba; indlu yam iya kwakhiwa kuyo, utsho uYehova wemikhosi, nomgca wokulinganisa uya kolulwa phezu kweYerusalem. Zekariya 1:12,16 Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Gwebani ngobulungisa, nenze inceba nemfesane elowo kumzalwana wakhe. Zekariya 7:9 Ndiya kuyomeleza indlu kaYuda, ndiyisindise indlu kaYosefu, ndibabuyisele ukuze bayimise; ngokuba ndinenceba kubo, babe ngathi andibalahlanga; ngokuba ndinguYehova uThixo wabo, ndiya kubaphulaphula. Zekariya 10:6
IiVangeli kunye neZenzo Banoyolo abanenceba, kuba baya kwenzelwa inceba bona. Mateyu 5:7 Kodwa ke hambani nifunde ukuba kuthetha ukuthini oku, ‘Ndithanda inceba, andithandi mbingelelo.’ Kuba andizelanga ukubiza amalungisa, ndize kubiza aboni ukuba baguquke.” UYesu wahamba apho, kwalandela amadoda amabini aziimfama, ekhwaza esithi: “Nyana kaDavide, senzele inceba.” Mateyu 9:13,27 Ukuba benikwazile ukuba kuthini na oku, ndithanda inceba, andithandi mbingelelo, ninge ningabalahlanga abamsulwa. Mateyu 12:7 Kwabonakala umKanankazi evela kuloo mimandla, ekhala kuye, esithi, Ndenzele inceba, Nkosi, Nyana kaDavide; intombi yam iphethwe yidemon kakubi. Mateyu 15:22 Nkosi, yiba nenceba kunyana wam, kuba unesifo sokuwa, ubandezeleka kakhulu; kuba uphinda awe emlilweni, aze aphinde awe emanzini. Mateyu 17:15 Nanko amadoda amabini aziimfama ehleli ecaleni kwendlela, akuva ukuba uYesu udlula, edanduluka esithi: “Senzele inceba, Nkosi, Nyana kaDavide.” Isihlwele sabakhalimela, kuba babefuna ukuthi cwaka, kodwa kwaba kukhona badandulukayo ngakumbi, besithi: “Senzele inceba, Nkosi, Nyana kaDavide!” Mateyu 20:30-31 14
Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
Yeha, nina babhali nabaFarisi, bahanahanisindini, ngokuba ninikela isishumi semint ne-anise necumin, nize nizishiye ezona zinto zibalulekileyo zomthetho, umgwebo, inceba, nokholo: ezi zinto benifanele ukuzenza, ningazishiyi ezinye. Mateyu 23:23 Wathi akuva ukuba nguYesu waseNazarete, waqala ukudanduluka esithi, Yesu, Nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba. Baye abaninzi bemkhalimela ukuba athi cwaka, kodwa wadanduluka ngakumbi, esithi, Nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba. Marko 10:47-48 Kwaye inceba yakhe ikwabo bamoyikayo kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana. Uncedile umkhonzi wakhe uSirayeli, ekhumbula inceba yakhe; Kwaye abamelwane bakhe nabazala bakhe beva ukuba iNkosi yayimbonise inceba enkulu; baza bavuya kunye naye. Ukuze enze inceba eyathenjiswa oobawo bethu, nokukhumbula umnqophiso wakhe ongcwele; Ngenceba yothando kaThixo wethu; apho ukukhanya okuvela phezulu kusivelele khona, Luka 1:50,54,58,72,78 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36 Kodwa umSamariya othile, ehamba, weza apho wayekhona; wathi akumbona, wavelana naye, waya kuye, wabopha amanxeba akhe, egalela ioli newayini, wamkhwelisa eqegwini lakhe, wamsa endlwini yabahambi, wamnyamekela. Ngengomso, xa wayehamba, wakhupha iidenariyo ezimbini, wanika umninindlu, wathi kuye, Mgcine; nento othe wayichitha ngaphezulu, ndiya kukubuyisela xa ndibuya. Ngubani na kwaba bathathu, ocinga ukuba, waba ngummelwane walowo wagaxeleka phakathi kwamasela? Wathi ke yena, Lowo wamenzela inceba. Wathi ke uYesu kuye, Hamba, wenze okufanayo nawe. Luka 10:37 Samemeza sathi, Bawo Abraham, ndenzele inceba, uthume uLazaro, ukuba antywilisele incam yomnwe wakhe emanzini, apholise ulwimi lwam; ngokuba ndiyathuthunjelwa kweli langatye. Luka 16:24 Baphakamisa ilizwi labo, bathi, Yesu, Nkosi, senzele inceba. Luka 17:13 Umqokeleli werhafu, emi kude, akafunanga nokuphakamisela amehlo akhe ezulwini, wamana ezibamba esifubeni sakhe, esithi, Thixo, yiba nenceba kum mna moni. Wadanduluka esithi, Yesu, Nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba. Baye abo babehamba phambili bemkhalimela ukuba athi cwaka; kodwa wadanduluka ngakumbi, esithi, Nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba. Luka 18:13,38-39 Ngokuphathelele ukumvusa kwabafileyo, ukuba angabuyeli ekonakaleni, wathi ngale ndlela, Ndiya kuninika iinceba eziqinisekileyo zikaDavide. IZenzo 13:34
Iileta Kuba uthi kuMoses, Ndiya kuba nenceba kulowo ndifuna ukuba nenceba kuye, ndize ndibe nenceba kulowo ndifuna ukuba nenceba kuye. Ngoko ke asikuko oko kunqwenelayo, nakokubalekayo, kodwa kokukaThixo onenceba. Ngoko ke unenceba kulowo athanda ukuba nenceba kuye, aze amenze lukhuni lowo athanda ukumenza lukhuni. Ukuze azise ubutyebi bozuko lwakhe ezityeni zenceba, awayezilungiselele uzuko kwangaphambili, KwabaseRoma 9:15-16,18,23. Kuba njengokuba nani beningakholwanga nguThixo, kodwa ngoku nenzelwe inceba ngenxa yokungakholwa kwabo, ngokunjalo nabo abakholwanga ngoku, ukuze ngenceba yenu nabo benzelwe inceba. Kuba uThixo ubavalele bonke ekungakholwayo, ukuze abenzele inceba bonke. KwabaseRoma 11:30-32 15
Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
Ndiyanibongoza ngoko, bazalwana, ngeenceba zikaThixo, ukuba niyinikele imizimba yenu ibe lidini eliphilileyo, elingcwele, elamkelekileyo kuThixo, inkonzo yenu efanelekileyo. Okanye lowo uyalayo, esiyalezeni: lowo unikayo, makenze oko engenasiphako; lowo wongamelayo, enyamekile; lowo wenza inceba, evuya. KwabaseRoma 12:1,8 ukuze iintlanga zimzukise uThixo ngenxa yenceba yakhe, njengoko kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Ngenxa yesi sizathu ndiya kukuvuma phakathi kweentlanga, ndiliculele igama lakho. KwabaseRoma 15:9 Ngokuphathelele iintombi andinawo umyalelo ovela eNkosini; kodwa ndinikela umbono wam, njengowenzelwe inceba yiNkosi ukuba athembeke. 1 Korinte 7:25 Makabongwe uThixo, uYise weNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, uYise weenceba, noThixo wentuthuzelo yonke; 2 kwabaseKorinte 1:3 Ngenxa yoko, sinalo olu lungiselelo, njengoko senzelwe inceba, asideli; 2 kwabaseKorinte 4:1 Bonke ke abahamba ngalo mgaqo, makube luxolo nenceba kubo, nakwabangamaSirayeli kaThixo. Galati 6:16 Ke uThixo, osisityebi ngenceba, ngenxa yothando lwakhe olukhulu awasithanda ngalo, kwabaseEfese 2:4. Ukuba ke ngoko kukho intuthuzelo kuKristu, ukuba kukho intuthuzelo yothando, ukuba kukho ubudlelane boMoya, ukuba kukho imfesane neenceba, KwabaseFilipi 2:1 Kuba eneneni wayesifa, ephantse ukufa; kodwa uThixo wamenzela inceba, kungekhona kuye yedwa, kodwa nakum, ukuze ndingabi nantlungu phezu kwentlungu. KwabaseFilipi 2:27 Yambathani ngoko, njengabanyulwa bakaThixo, abangcwele nabathandiweyo, iimfesane zeenceba, ububele, ukuthobeka kwentliziyo, ubulali, ukuzeka kade umsindo; KwabaseKolose 3:12 KuTimoti, unyana wam ngokwam elukholweni: Makube lubabalo, inceba, noxolo oluvela kuThixo uBawo wethu, nakuYesu Kristu iNkosi yethu. 1 Timoti 1:2 Ndandingumntu oqale wanyelisa, umtshutshisi, nomhlaseli, kodwa ndenzelwa inceba, kuba ndakwenza oko ndingazi, ndingenalukholo. Ubabalo lweNkosi yethu lwanda kakhulu, lunokholo nothando olukuKristu Yesu. Lithembekile eli lizwi, lifanelwe kukwamkelwa konke, lokuba uKristu Yesu weza ehlabathini ukusindisa aboni; endingomkhulu kubo mna. Kodwa ngenxa yesi sizathu ndenzelwa inceba, ukuze uYesu Kristu abonakalise kum, mna ungowokuqala, konke ukuzeka kade umsindo, ndibe ngumzekelo kwabo baza kukholwa kuye, base ebomini obungunaphakade. 1 Timoti 1:13-16 KuTimoti, unyana wam oyintanda: Ubabalo, inceba, noxolo oluvela kuThixo uYise, nakuKristu Yesu iNkosi yethu. INkosi mayiyinike inceba indlu kaOnesiforo; ngokuba ebendiphumza kaninzi, engenazintloni ngemixokelelwane yam; INkosi mayimnike inceba eNkosini ngaloo mini; kwaye wena uyazi kakuhle ukuba zingaphi izinto awandilungiselela zona e-Efese. 2 Timoti 1:2,16,18 KuTito, unyana wam wenene ngokokholo esiludlelane ngalo: Makube lubabalo, nenceba, noxolo, oluvela kuThixo uYise, nakwiNkosi uYesu Kristu uMsindisi wethu. Tito 1:4

Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
Akungengamisebenzi yobulungisa esayenzayo thina, kodwa ngokwenceba yakhe wasisindisa, ngokuhlamba kokuzalwa ngokutsha nangokuhlaziya koMoya oyiNgcwele; Tito 3:5 Kungoko ke wayemelwe kukuba afane nabazalwana bakhe ezintweni zonke, ukuze abe ngumbingeleli omkhulu onenceba nothembekileyo ezintweni eziphathelele uThixo, ukuze axolelanise izono zabantu. Hebhere 2:17. Masisondele ke ngoko ngenkalipho kwitrone yobabalo, ukuze samkeliswe inceba, sifumane ubabalo lokunceda ngexesha elililo. KumaHebhere 4:16 Kuba ndiya kuba nenceba kwintswela-bulungisa yabo, nezono zabo nokungalungisi kwabo andisayi kuba sakukhumbula. KumaHebhere 8:12 Ngaphezu kwayo kukho iikherubhi zobuqaqawuli ezisithelise esingenakuthetha ngazo ngokukodwa ngoku. KumaHebhere 9:5
isihlalo
socamagushelo,
Lowo wawugatyayo umthetho kaMoses uyafa ngaphandle kwenceba, phantsi kwamangqina amabini okanye amathathu: Hebhere 10:28 Kuba umgwebo awuyi kuba nanceba kulowo ungenzi nceba, kwaye inceba iyawuqhayisa umgwebo. Yakobi 2:13 Kodwa ke ubulumko obuvela phezulu kuqala bumsulwa, buze bube boboxolo, bube nobulali, bube lula ukuthotyelwa, buzele yinceba neziqhamo ezilungileyo, abunamkhethe, abunaluhanahaniso. Yakobi 3:17 Yabonani, sibathi banoyolo abo banyamezelayo. Nivile ngokunyamezela kukaYobhi, nayibona nesiphelo seNkosi, ukuba iNkosi inenceba enkulu, inenceba. Yakobi 5:11 Makabongwe uThixo, uYise weNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, othe ngenceba yakhe eninzi wasizala ngokutsha, ukuba sibe nethemba eliphilileyo ngokuvuka kukaYesu Kristu kwabafileyo, 1 Petros 1:3. enanifudula ningengobantu, kodwa ngoku ningabantu bakaThixo; enaningenzelwanga nceba, kodwa ngoku nenzelwe inceba. 1 Petros 2:10 Makube nani ubabalo, inceba, noxolo oluvela kuThixo uYise, nakwiNkosi uYesu Kristu, uNyana kaYise, ngenyaniso nangothando. 2 Yohane 1:3 Makwandiswe kuni inceba noxolo nothando. Yuda 1:2 Hlalani niseluthandweni lukaThixo, nilinde inceba yeNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, kuse ebomini obungunaphakade. Yuda 1:21
I-Apocrypha Bavuma ngezwi elikhulu iingoma zokudumisa uYehova, kuba inceba nozuko lwakhe luhlala luhleli kuSirayeli wonke. 1 Esdras 5:61 Ngoku ke ngandlela ithile, Nkosi, siboniswe inceba, ukuze kushiyeke ingcambu negama endaweni yengcwele yakho; 1 Esdras 8:78 17
Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
Ekubeni nindishiyile, nam ndiya kunishiya; xa nifuna ukuba ndinibabale, andiyi kuba nanceba kuni. 2 Esdras 1:25 Kodwa ke ngoku ndiza kwenza ntoni kuni? Ndingumhlolokazi kwaye ndishiywe ndedwa; hambani, bantwana bam, niye kucela inceba kuYehova. 2 Esdras 2:4 Khumbula abantwana bakho abaleleyo, kuba ndiya kubakhupha eziphelweni zomhlaba, ndibenzele inceba: kuba ndinenceba, utsho uYehova uSomandla. Bamba abantwana bakho ndide ndifike, uze ubabonise inceba: kuba imithombo yam iyaphalala, kwaye ubabalo lwam aluyi kuphela. 2 Esdras 2:31-32 Kwaye siyadlula emhlabeni njengeenkumbi, kwaye ubomi bethu buyamangalisa kwaye buyoyikeka, kwaye asifanele ukufumana inceba. 2 Esdras 4:24 Ndaphendula ke ndathi, Ndiyazi, Nkosi, ukuba uPhezukonke kuthiwa unenceba, kuba unenceba kwabo bangekafiki ehlabathini, Nokuba unenceba enkulu, kuba uphindaphinda inceba ngakumbi nangakumbi kwabo bakhoyo, nakwabo badlulileyo, nakwabo bazayo. Kuba ukuba akayi kuzandisa inceba yakhe, ihlabathi aliyi kuhlala nabo badla ilifa kulo. 2 Esdras 7:62,66-67 Ukuze into eyenziweyo yondliwe okwethutyana, ude uyinikele kwinceba yakho. Kuba thina noobawo bethu siyafa zizifo ezinjalo; kodwa ngenxa yethu thina boni, uya kubizwa ngokuba unenceba. Kuba ukuba unqwenela ukuba nenceba kuthi, uya kubizwa ngokuba unenceba, kuthi thina singenamisebenzi yobulungisa. Kuba koku, Nkosi, ubulungisa bakho nokulunga kwakho kuya kubhengezwa, ukuba unenceba kwabo bangenalo ithemba ngemisebenzi elungileyo. Musa ukucaphuka kuthi kodwa sindisa abantu bakho, kwaye ube nenceba kwilifa lakho: kuba unenceba kwisidalwa sakho. 2 Esdras 8:11,31-32,36,45 Ngoko ke susa ubunzima bakho obukhulu, uze ususe ubuninzi beentlungu, ukuze uSomandla aphinde abe nenceba kuwe, aze oPhezukonke akunike ukuphumla nokuphumla emsebenzini wakho. 2 Esdras 10:24 Ukuze wonke umhlaba uhlaziyeke, ubuye, ukhululwe kugonyamelo lwakho, kwaye uthembele kumgwebo nenceba yalowo wawenzayo. 2 Esdras 11:46 Kuba abaseleyo babantu bam uya kubahlangula ngenceba, abo bacinezelweyo kwimida yam, aze abavuyise kude kufike umhla womgwebo, endathetha ngawo kuwe kwasekuqaleni. Mna ke, andikushiyanga, andikushiyanga; kodwa ndize kule ndawo, ukuthandazela ukutshatyalaliswa kweZiyon, nokuze ndicele inceba ngenxa yendawo yakho engcwele ephantsi. 2 Esdras 12:34,48 Ngoko ke ukuba niza kuyithoba ingqondo yenu, nize nilungise iintliziyo zenu, niya kugcinwa niphila, nize emva kokufa nifumane inceba. 2 Esdras 14:34 Owu Nkosi, wena ulungile, kwaye yonke imisebenzi yakho nazo zonke iindlela zakho ziyinceba nenyaniso, kwaye wena ugweba ngenyaniso nangobulungisa ngonaphakade. Tobit 3:2 Kwaye idemon iya kuyivumba, ibaleke, ingaphindi ibuye; kodwa xa nifika kuyo, vukani nobabini, nithandaze kuThixo onenceba, oya kunibabala, anisindise: musani ukoyika, kuba imiselwe nina kwasekuqaleni; kwaye niya kuyigcina, kwaye iya kuhamba nani. Ngaphezu koko ndicinga ukuba iya kunizalela abantwana. Akuba uTobias ezivile ezi zinto, wamthanda, kwaye intliziyo yakhe yanamathela kuye. Tobit 6:17

Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
URaguweli wathi, “Mthabathe ukususela ngoku ngokwesiko, kuba ungumzala wakhe, kwaye ngowakho, kwaye uThixo onenceba makakunike impumelelo kuyo yonke into.” Tobit 7:12 Ufanelwe kukudunyiswa, kuba undivuyisile; kwaye oko akuzange kufike kum njengoko bendicinga; kodwa usiphathe ngokwenceba yakho enkulu. Ufanelwe kukudunyiswa kuba ube nenceba kubantwana ababini abazelwe bodwa kooyise: banike inceba, Nkosi, kwaye ugqibezele ubomi babo ngempilo entle ngovuyo nangenceba. Tobit 8:16-17 Kodwa uTobias wabulela phambi kwabo, kuba uThixo wayenenceba kuye. Akufika kuSara umolokazana wakhe, wamsikelela, wathi, Wamkelekile, ntombi yam; makabongwe uThixo okuzise kuthi, makabongwe uyihlo nonyoko. Kwabakho uvuyo phakathi kwabo bonke abazalwana bakhe ababeseNineve. Tobit 11:17 Kuba uyasibetha, unenceba; usisa esihogweni, aze asinyuse kwakhona; akukho namnye unokusiphepha isandla sakhe. Uya kusibetha ngenxa yobugwenxa bethu, aze aphinde abe nenceba, asiqokelele kuzo zonke iintlanga, asisasaze kuzo. Ukuba nibuyela kuye ngentliziyo yenu yonke, nangengqondo yenu yonke, nenze ngobulungisa phambi kwakhe, uya kujika kuni, angabufihli ubuso bakhe kuni. Ngoko ke bonani ukuba uza kwenza ntoni ngani, nimvume ngomlomo wenu wonke, nimdumise iNkosi yamandla, nimdumise uKumkani ongunaphakade. Kwilizwe lokuthunjwa kwam ndiyamdumisa, ndivakalise amandla akhe nobukhulu bakhe kuhlanga olunesono. Nina boni, jikani nize nenze ubulungisa phambi kwakhe: ngubani na onokuqonda ukuba uya kwamkela, aze anenzele inceba? Yerusalem, mzi ungcwele, uya kunibetha ngenxa yemisebenzi yabantwana benu, aze aphinde abe nenceba kubantwana bamalungisa. Tobit 13:2,5-6,9 Kwaye kwakhona uThixo uya kuba nenceba kubo, aze ababuyisele kwilizwe apho baya kwakha khona itempile, kodwa ingafani neyokuqala, ide izaliseke loo xesha; kwaye emva koko baya kubuya kuzo zonke iindawo zabo zokuthinjwa, baze bakhe iYerusalem ngobuqaqawuli, kwaye indlu kaThixo iya kwakhiwa kuyo ngonaphakade ngesakhiwo esizukileyo, njengoko abaprofeti betshilo. Ngaloo ndlela zonke iintlanga ziya kuyidumisa iNkosi, kwaye abantu bayo baya kuyivuma uThixo, kwaye iNkosi iya kubaphakamisa abantu bayo; kwaye bonke abo bathanda iNkosi uThixo ngenyaniso nangobulungisa baya kuvuya, bebonisa inceba kubazalwana bethu. Kodwa gcina umthetho nemiyalelo, kwaye uzibonakalise unenceba kwaye ulungile, ukuze kulunge kuwe. Tobit 14:5,7,9 U-Oziya wathi kubo: “Mawethu, yibani nesibindi, masilinde iintsuku ezintlanu, apho uYehova uThixo wethu angasityhilela khona inceba yakhe, kuba akayi kusishiya ngokupheleleyo.” (Judith 7:30) Waza wathi kubo ngelizwi elikhulu, “Dumisani, dumisani uThixo, dumisani uThixo, nditsho, kuba akayisusi inceba yakhe kwindlu kaSirayeli, kodwa uzitshabalalisile iintshaba zethu ngezandla zam ngobo busuku.” UJudith 13:14 Kuba iintaba ziya kushukuma zisuka kwiziseko zazo ngamanzi, namatye aya kunyibilika njengomthwebeba phambi kwakho, kodwa wena unenceba kwabo bakoyikayo. Judith 16:15 Ngenxa yoko siyalele ukuba bonke abo babhalwe phantsi kuni ngu-Aman, omiselwe phezu kwemicimbi, nosecaleni kwethu, bonke, kunye nabafazi babo nabantwana babo, batshatyalaliswe ngokupheleleyo ngekrele leentshaba zabo, ngaphandle kwenceba nemfesane, ngomhla weshumi elinesine wenyanga yeshumi elinesibini u-Adar kulo nyaka ukhoyo: Izongezo ku-Estere 13:6
19
Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
Yiva umthandazo wam, uze ube nenceba kwilifa lakho: guqula intlungu yethu ibe luvuyo, ukuze siphile, Yehova, sidumise igama lakho; kwaye musa ukuyitshabalalisa imilomo yabo bakudumisayo, Yehova. Ukongezwa kuEstere 13:17 Ngoko ke, yonke idolophu nelizwe, elingayi kwenza ngokwezi zinto, liya kutshatyalaliswa ngaphandle kwenceba ngomlilo nangekrele, kwaye aliyi kuvunyelwa ngabantu kuphela, kodwa liyikuthiywa kakhulu zizilwanyana zasendle neentaka ngonaphakade. Abo bathembela kuye baya kuyiqonda inyaniso, kwaye abo bathembekileyo eluthandweni baya kuhlala naye, kuba ubabalo nenceba zikwabangcwele bakhe, kwaye uyabakhathalela abanyulwa bakhe. Ubulumko bukaSolomon 3:9 Oku abantu bakubona, abakuqondanga, abakubekanga ezintliziyweni zabo, ukuba ubabalo nenceba yakhe ikunye nabangcwele bakhe, nokuba uyabahlonela abanyulwa bakhe. Ubulumko bukaSolomon 4:15 Kuba inceba iya kuxolela ngokukhawuleza umntu ophantsi, kodwa amadoda anamandla aya kuhlushwa kakhulu. Ubulumko bukaSolomon 6:6 Thixo woobawo, neNkosi yenceba, wena udale zonke izinto ngelizwi lakho, Ubulumko bukaSolomon 9:1 Kuba xa babevavanywa nangona besohlwaywa ngenceba, babesazi ukuba abangendawo bagwetywa njani ngomsindo nangokuhlushwa, benxanelwe ngenye indlela kunabalungileyo. Ubulumko bukaSolomon 11:9 Kodwa wena unenceba kubo bonke; kuba unako ukwenza zonke izinto, kwaye uyabaqwalasela izono zabantu, kuba bafanele balungise. Ubulumko bukaSolomon 11:23 Kodwa ngemisebenzi enjalo ufundise abantu bakho ukuba umntu olungileyo abe nenceba, kwaye wenze abantwana bakho babe nethemba elihle lokuba unika inguquko ezonweni. Ngenxa yoko, nangona usiqeqesha, ubetha iintshaba zethu izihlandlo eziliwaka, ngenjongo yokuba, xa sigweba, sicinge ngononophelo ngobubele bakho, kwaye xa sigweba, sijonge inceba. Ubulumko bukaSolomon 12:19,22 Kodwa wena, Thixo, unobubele, uthembekile, uzeka kade umsindo, kwaye ulungelelanisa zonke izinto ngenceba. Ubulumko bukaSolomon 15:1 Kodwa oonyana bakho abazange boyise amazinyo eenyoka ezinobuhlungu, kuba inceba yakho yayinabo rhoqo, kwaye wabaphilisa. Ubulumko bukaSolomon 16:10 Ke bona abo bangengabo abalungileyo, ingqumbo yabo yabafikela ngaphandle kwenceba kwada kwaba sekupheleni, kuba wayesazi kwangaphambili into abaya kuyenza; Ubulumko bukaSolomon 19:1 Nina boyika iNkosi, lindani inceba yayo; ningayi kuphambuka, hleze niwe. Nina boyika iNkosi, thembani okulungileyo, novuyo olungunaphakade, nenceba. Kuba iNkosi izele luvelwano nenceba, izeka kade umsindo, inenceba kakhulu, ixolela izono, isindise ngexesha lokubandezeleka. INtshumayeli 2:7,9,11

Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
Besithi, “Siza kuwela ezandleni zeNkosi, kungekhona ezandleni zabantu.” Kuba njengoko bunjalo ubukhulu bakhe, injalo nenceba yakhe.” I-Ecclesiasticus 2:18 Musa ukuthi inceba yakhe inkulu; uya kuxolelwa ngenxa yezono zam ezininzi: kuba inceba nomsindo zivela kuye, kwaye ingqumbo yakhe iphezu kwaboni. Ecclesiasticus 5:6 Ukuba kukho umntu olukhuni phakathi kwabantu, kuyamangalisa ukuba angasinda engohlwaywanga: kuba inceba nomsindo zikuye; unamandla okuxolela nokuthulula ingqumbo. Njengoko inceba yakhe inkulu, kunjalo nokulungisa kwakhe: ugweba umntu ngokwemisebenzi yakhe. Yenza indlela yomsebenzi wonke wenceba: kuba wonke umntu uya kufumana ngokwemisebenzi yakhe. Inceba yakhe iyabonakala kuyo yonke indalo; kwaye wahlula ukukhanya kwakhe ebumnyameni ngedayimani. INtshumayeli 16:11-12,14,16 Ngubani na onokubala amandla obukhulu bakhe? Ngubani na oya kuzixela iinceba zakhe? Ngenxa yoko uThixo unomonde kubo, aze athululele inceba yakhe kubo. Inceba yomntu ikuye ummelwane wakhe; kodwa inceba kaYehova iphezu kwenyama yonke; uyabakhalimela, abaluse, abafundise, ababuyisele, njengomalusi womhlambi wakhe. Unenceba kwabo bafumana uqeqesho, nabafuna ngenkuthalo izigwebo zakhe. Zihlolisise phambi komgwebo, kwaye ngomhla wokuvelelwa uya kufumana inceba. INtshumayeli 18:5,11,13-14,20 Hleze ukungazi kwam kwande, nezono zam zinde zize zinditshabalalise, ndiwe phambi kwababandezeli bam, luze utshaba lwam lundivuyele, oluthemba lalo likude nenceba yakho. IEcclesiasticus 23:3 Akayibonisi nceba kumntu onjengaye, aze acele uxolelo lwezono zakhe na? I-Ecclesiasticus 28:4 Umntu onenceba uya kuboleka ummelwane wakhe, kwaye lowo uqinisa isandla sakhe uyayigcina imithetho. Kodwa yiba nomonde kumntu osweleyo, kwaye ungalibali ukumenzela inceba. IEcclesiasticus 29:1,8 Ade abuyisele wonke umntu ngokwemisebenzi yakhe, nakwimisebenzi yabantu ngokweembono zabo, ade agwebe ityala labantu bakhe, aze abavuyise ngenceba yakhe. Inceba ifanelekile ngexesha lembandezelo, njengamafu emvula ngexesha lembalela. INtshumayeli 35:19-20 Sibabale, Nkosi Thixo wabo bonke, usikhangele: Nkosi, sibabale abantu ababizwa ngegama lakho, namaSirayeli, owawabiza ngokuba ngamazibulo akho. Sibabale iYerusalem, isixeko sakho esingcwele, indawo yokuphumla kwakho. I-Ecclesiasticus 36:1,12-13 Kodwa aba yayingamadoda anenceba, ubulungisa bawo obungazange bulibaleke. Ecclesiasticus 44:10 Waza wakhupha kuye indoda enenceba, eyafumana ubabalo emehlweni enyama yonke, uMoses, othandekayo kuThixo nakubantu, osikhumbuzo sakhe sisikelelwe. I-Ecclesiasticus 45:1 Ngexesha likaMoses wenza umsebenzi wenceba, yena noKalebhi unyana kaYefune, kuba bamelana nebandla, babathintela abantu esonweni, baza bathomalalisa ukukrokra kwabangendawo. Kodwa iNkosi ayiyi kuyishiya inceba yayo, kwaye akukho nanye kwimisebenzi yayo eya kutshabalala, kwaye ayiyi kuyitshabalalisa inzala yabanyulwa bayo, kwaye akayi kuyisusa imbewu

Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
yalowo uyithandayo: ngoko ke wanika uYakobi intsalela, kwaye kuye wanika uDavide ingcambu. Ecclesiasticus 47:22 Kodwa babiza iNkosi enenceba, baza bolulela izandla zabo kuyo: waza ngoko nangoko oyiNgcwele wabava esezulwini, waza wabahlangula ngobulungiseleli buka-Isaya. INtshumayeli 48:20 Abantu bambongoza uYehova, oPhezukonke, ngomthandazo phambi kwakhe onenceba, de kwagqitywa umthendeleko weNkosi, bagqiba inkonzo yakhe. Ke ngoko, makabongwe uThixo wabo bonke, onguye yedwa owenza izinto ezimangalisayo kuyo yonke indawo, ophakamisa imihla yethu kwasesizalweni, nosiphatha ngokwenceba yakhe. Ukuba aqinise inceba yakhe kuthi, asihlangule ngexesha lakhe! Ecclesiasticus 50:19,22,24 Wandihlangula, ngokobuninzi benceba nobukhulu begama lakho, emazinyweni abo babefuna ukundidla, nasezandleni zabo babefuna umphefumlo wam, nakwiimbandezelo ezininzi endandinazo; ndaza ndacinga ngenceba yakho, Yehova, nangezenzo zakho zakudala, indlela obahlangula ngayo abo bakulindeleyo, kwaye ubasindisa ezandleni zeentshaba. Umphefumlo wakho mawuvuye ngenceba yakhe, kwaye ungabi nazintloni ngendumiso yakhe. I-Ecclesiasticus 51:3,8,29 Nkosi Thixo wethu, usiphathele konke ukulunga kwakho, nangokwenceba yakho yonke enkulu, Baruch 2:27. Yiva, Nkosi, ube nenceba, ngokuba unenceba, usibabale, ngokuba sonile phambi kwakho. Baruch 3:2 Kuba ithemba lam likuThixo ongunaphakade, ukuba uya kunisindisa; kwaye ndivuyiswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele, ngenxa yenceba eza kunifikela kungekudala evela kuMsindisi wethu ongunaphakade. Baruch 4:22 Kuba uThixo uya kumkhokela uSirayeli ngovuyo ekukhanyeni kozuko lwakhe ngenceba nobulungisa obuvela kuye. (Bharuki 5:9) Abakwazi ukumenzela inceba umhlolokazi, okanye bamenzele okulungileyo inkedama. Ileta kaYeremiya 1:38 Musa ukuyisusa inceba yakho kuthi, ngenxa ka-Abraham othandekayo wakho, ngenxa yomkhonzi wakho uIsake, nangenxa kaSirayeli wakho ongcwele; Akukho sikhulu, namprofeti, nankokeli, nadini linyukayo, nambingelelo, namnikelo wokudla, nasiqhumiso, nandawo yokubingelela phambi kwakho, ukuze ufumane inceba. Musa ukusidanisa; kodwa senzele ngokwenceba yakho, nangokwenceba yakho eninzi. Bulelani kuYehova, ngokuba unobubele; ngokuba inceba yakhe ingunaphakade. Nina nonke ninqula uYehova, bongani uThixo woothixo, nimdumise, nimbulele; ngokuba inceba yakhe ingunaphakade. Umthandazo ka-Azariya 1:12, 15, 19, 67-68 Umthandazo kaManase 1:1 Nkosi, Thixo Somandla woobawo bethu, uAbraham, uIsake, noYakobi, nembewu yabo elungileyo; wena owenza izulu nomhlaba, nazo zonke izinto ezihonjisiweyo; wena obophe ulwandle ngelizwi lomyalelo wakho; wena ovale ulwandle, walutywina ngegama lakho eloyikekayo nelizukileyo; wena bonke abantu abamoyikayo, nabangcangcazelayo phambi kwamandla akho; kuba ubukhulu bozuko lwakho abunakuthwalwa, kwaye ukusongela kwakho ngomsindo kwaboni kubalulekile; kodwa isithembiso sakho senceba asinakulinganiswa kwaye asinakuphengululwa; kuba wena unguYehova oPhezukonke, onovelwano olukhulu, ozeka kade umsindo, onenceba kakhulu, noguqukayo ebubini

babantu. Wena, Nkosi, ngokobubele bakho obukhulu ubathembise inguquko noxolelo kwabo bonileyo kuwe; kwaye ngenceba yakho engenasiphelo ubamisele inguquko kuboni, ukuze basindiswe. Ke ngoko, Nkosi, wena unguThixo wabalungileyo, awumiselanga inguquko kwabalungileyo, njengoAbraham, noIsake, noYakobi, abangonanga kuwe; kodwa undimisele inguquko mna ndingumoni; kuba ndonile ngaphezu kwenani lentlabathi yolwandle. Iziphambeko zam, Nkosi, zininzi; iziphambeko zam zininzi, andifanelekanga ukubona nokubona ukuphakama kwezulu ngenxa yobuninzi beziphambeko zam. Ndigobile phantsi ngeentambo zesinyithi ezininzi, kangangokuba andinakuphakamisa intloko yam, andinakukhululeka; kuba ndikucaphukisile umsindo wakho, ndenza ububi phambi kwakho; andizange ndenze ukuthanda kwakho, andizange ndiyigcine imiyalelo yakho; ndimise amasikizi, kwaye ndiphindaphinde iziphambeko. Ngoku ke ndiguqa idolo lentliziyo yam, ndicela ubabalo kuwe. Ndonile, Nkosi, ndonile, kwaye ndiyavuma ubugwenxa bam: ngenxa yoko, ndiyakucela ngokuthobeka, ndixolele, Nkosi, ndixolele, kwaye unganditshabalalisi ngobugwenxa bam. Musa ukundicaphukela ngonaphakade, ngokundigcinela ububi; ungandigwebi kwiindawo ezisezantsi zomhlaba. Kuba wena unguThixo, uThixo wabo baguqukayo; kwaye uya kubonisa kum konke ukulunga kwakho: kuba uya kundisindisa, endingafanelekanga, ngokwenceba yakho enkulu. Ngenxa yoko ndiya kukudumisa ngonaphakade yonke imihla yobomi bam: kuba onke amandla asezulwini ayakudumisa, kwaye uzuko lolwakho ngonaphakade kanaphakade. Amen. UDavide ngenxa yokuba nenceba wayenesihlalo sobukhosi esingunaphakade. 1 Maccabees 2:57 Emva koko ibandla lahlanganisana ndawonye, ukuze lilungele imfazwe, nokuba lithandaze, licele inceba nemfesane. 1 Maccabees 3:44 Ngoko ke masikhale ezulwini, ukuba mhlawumbi uYehova angasenzela inceba, akhumbule umnqophiso woobawo bethu, awutshabalalise lo mkhosi phambi kwethu namhlanje: Emva koko babuyela emakhaya, bavuma ingoma yokubulela, bamdumisa uYehova ezulwini: ngokuba ilungile, kuba inceba yakhe ingunaphakade. 1 Maccabees 4:10,24 Bathi, Musa ukusiphatha ngokobubi bethu, kodwa ngokwenceba yakho. 1 Maccabees 13:46 Kodwa ngoku ndimdala, kwaye nina, ngenceba kaThixo, nikhulile ngokwaneleyo: yibani endaweni yam nomnakwethu, niye kulwela isizwe sethu, kwaye uncedo oluvela ezulwini lube nani. 1 Maccabees 16:3 Umthandazo wawunje: Nkosi, Nkosi Thixo, Mdali wezinto zonke, wena woyikekayo, unamandla, ulilungisa, unenceba, kwaye unguKumkani okuphela kwakhe onobabalo, 2 Maccabees 1:24 Akuba uJeremy ewuqondile loo mbandela, wabagxeka, esithi, “Le ndawo ayizukukwaziwa kude kube lixesha lokuba uThixo ahlanganise abantu bakhe kwakhona, aze abamkelele inceba.” Njengoko wathembisayo emthethweni, kungekudala uza kusixolela, aze asiqokelele ndawonye kulo lonke ilizwe eliphantsi kwezulu aye kwindawo engcwele: kuba usihlangule kwiingxaki ezinkulu, waza wayihlambulula loo ndawo.” 2 Maccabees 2:7,18 Kodwa uJason wabulala abemi bakowabo ngaphandle kwenceba, engacingi ukuba ukufumana usuku lwabo besizwe sakowabo kwakuya kuba lusuku olungathandekiyo kuye; kodwa ecinga ukuba babeziintshaba zakhe, kungekhona abantu bakowabo, awaboyisayo. 2 Maccabees 5:6 Ngenxa yoko akasirhoxisi inceba yakhe kuthi: nangona esijezisa ngobunzima, kodwa akabashiyi abantu bakhe. Kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo uMdali wehlabathi, owadala isizukulwana somntu, waza wafumana isiqalo sezinto zonke, uya kuninika umphefumlo nobomi kwakhona, njengokuba ngoku

ningazijongi nina ngenxa yemithetho yakhe. Musani ukumoyika lo mhluphi, kodwa, nifanele abazalwana benu, thabathani ukufa kwenu ukuze ndinifumane kwakhona ngenceba kunye nabazalwana benu. Kodwa mna, njengabazalwana bam, ndinikela ngomzimba wam nobomi bam ngenxa yemithetho yoobawo bethu, ndimbongoza uThixo ukuba akhawuleze abe nenceba kwisizwe sethu; kwaye ukuba ngentlungu nangeentlungu uvume, ukuba nguye yedwa uThixo; 2 Maccabees 6:16,23,29,37 Kaloku xa uMakhabeus wayemngqongile, wayengenakukwazi ukumelana neentlanga; kuba umsindo weNkosi waguqulwa waba yinceba. Ngoko ke, bakuba beqokelele izixhobo zabo, baphanga iintshaba zabo, bazixakekisa ngeSabatha, benikela indumiso nombulelo omkhulu eNkosini, eyayibagcinile kude kube yiloo mini, eyayisisiqalo senceba eyayibathululela phezu kwabo. Bakuba begqibile oku, kwaye benze isicelo esiqhelekileyo, bacela iNkosi enenceba ukuba ixolelaniswe nabakhonzi bayo ngonaphakade. 2 Maccabees 8:5,27,29 Wathi yena ngokwakhe engakwazi ukumelana nevumba lakhe, wathi la mazwi, “Kufanelekile ukuthobela uThixo, nokuba umntu ofayo angacingi ngekratshi ukuba unguThixo.” Lo mntu ungendawo wafunga eNkosini, eyayingasayi kuphinde ibe nenceba kuye, esithi, “Isixeko esingcwele (apho wayesiya khona ngokukhawuleza ukusichitha nomhlaba, aze asenze indawo yokungcwaba eqhelekileyo), uya kusikhulula: 2 Maccabees 9:12-14 Xa oko kugqityiwe, bawa phantsi, bacela iNkosi ukuba ingaphindi ingene kwiingxaki ezinjalo; kodwa ukuba baphinda bona kuye, makabohlwaye ngenceba, kwaye banganikelwa kwiintlanga ezinyelisayo nezingenabuntu. Bawa phantsi ezantsi kwesibingelelo, bamcela ukuba abe nenceba kubo, nokuba abe lutshaba kwiintshaba zabo, nokuba ngumchasi kwiintshaba zabo, njengoko umthetho usitsho. 2 Maccabees 10:4,26 Emva koko bamdumisa uThixo onenceba bonke, baza bomelela, kangangokuba babekulungele kungekuphela nje ukulwa nabantu, kodwa nezilwanyana ezininzi ezinoburhalarhume, nokugqobhoza iindonga zentsimbi. Ngaloo ndlela bahamba phambili benxibe isikrweqe sabo, benomncedi ovela ezulwini: kuba iNkosi yayinenceba kubo. 2 Maccabees 11:9-10 Ngoko ke, bakuba bonke bekwenzile oku kunye, bethandaza eNkosini enenceba ngokulila nokuzila ukutya, belele phantsi iintsuku ezintathu, uJudas, ebakhuthazile, wabayalela ukuba balungiselele. 2 Maccabees 13:12
UEnoki Kodwa uya kwenza uxolo nabalungileyo. Uya kubakhusela abakhethiweyo, nenceba ibe phezu kwabo. Bonke baya kuba ngabakaThixo, Baphumelele, Babusiswe bonke. Uya kubanceda bonke, Kubonakale ukukhanya kubo, Aze enze uxolo nabo. UEnoki 1:18 Kodwa anizange niqine, anizange nenze imiyalelo yeNkosi, kodwa nijikile nathetha amazwi aqatha nanekratshi ngemilomo yenu engcolileyo nxamnye nobukhulu bakhe. Owu, nina bantliziyo zilukhuni, aniyi kufumana xolo. Ngoko ke niya kuziqalekisa imihla yenu, kwaye iminyaka yobomi benu iya kutshabalala, kwaye iminyaka yokutshatyalaliswa kwenu iya kwandiswe kwisiqalekiso esingunaphakade, kwaye aniyi kufumana nceba. Ngaloo mihla niya kwenza amagama enu abe sisiqalekiso esingunaphakade kubo bonke abalungileyo, kwaye ngabo bonke abaqalekisayo, baya kuqalekisa, kwaye bonke aboni nabangenabuthixo baya kuqalekisa ngani, kwaye kuni nina abangahloneli Thixo kuya kubakho isiqalekiso. Kwaye bonke ... baya kuvuya, kwaye kuya kubakho uxolelo lwezono, nayo yonke inceba noxolo nokunyamezela: Kuya kubakho usindiso kubo, 24

ukukhanya okuhle. Kwaye kuni nonke aboni akuyi kubakho sindiso, kodwa kuni nonke kuya kuhlala isiqalekiso. Enoki 5:4-6 Baya kubona ukubulawa kwabathandekayo babo, kwaye baya kulilela ukutshatyalaliswa kwabantwana babo, bathandaze ngonaphakade, kodwa aniyi kufumana inceba noxolo. Enoki 12:6 Ngemihla yokugqibela baya kuba nomboniso womgwebo wobulungisa phambi kwamalungisa ngonaphakade: apha abanenceba baya kuyibonga iNkosi yozuko, uKumkani ongunaphakade. Ngemihla yomgwebo phezu kwabo bangaphambili, baya kuyibonga ngenxa yenceba abanike yona ngokwesabelo sabo. UEnoki 27:3-4 Ukususela ngoko akukho mntu uya kuzifunela inceba eNkosini yeemimoya kuba ubomi bakhe buphelile. (Enoki 38:6) Ngaloo mihla uEnoki wafumana iincwadi zomsindo nenzondelelo, neencwadi zokukhathazeka nokugxothwa. Kwaye abayi kuncedwa nceba, itsho iNkosi yoMoya. UEnoki 39:2 Apha amehlo am abona iindawo zokuhlala zabo neengelosi zakhe ezilungileyo, Neendawo zabo zokuphumla kunye nabangcwele. Baye bacela, babongoza, bathandazela abantwana babantu, Ubulungisa bahamba phambi kwabo njengamanzi, Nenceba njengombethe emhlabeni: Ngaloo ndlela iya kuhlala phakathi kwabo ngonaphakade kanaphakade. Enoki 39:5 Wathi kum: ‘Lo ngowokuqala nguMikayeli, onenceba nozeka kade umsindo; owesibini, omiselwe phezu kwazo zonke izifo nazo zonke iinxeba zabantwana babantu, nguRafayeli; owesithathu, omiselwe phezu kwawo onke amandla, nguGabriyeli; owesine, omiselwe phezu kwenguquko ukuze kube nethemba labo badla ilifa lobomi obungunaphakade, ubizwa ngokuba nguFanuweli.’ Kwaye la ngamangelosi amane eNkosi yeeMimoya kunye namazwi amane endawavayo ngaloo mihla. Enoki 40:9 Kwaye ulungile nakwimigwebo yakhe, kwaye phambi kobuqaqawuli bakhe ubungendawo abuyi kuzigcina: Ekugwebeni kwakhe abaguqukiyo baya kutshabalala phambi kwakhe. Kwaye ukususela ngoku andiyi kuba nanceba kubo, itsho iNkosi yoMoya. UEnoki 50:4-5 UMikayeli wathumela enye ingelosi evela phakathi kwabangcwele, yandiphakamisa, yaza yakuba indiphakamisile yabuya umoya wam; kuba bendingenakukwazi ukunyamezela ukubonwa yile mikhosi, nengxolo nokunyikima kwezulu. UMikayeli wathi kum: 'Kutheni uphazamiseka ngolu hlobo lombono? Kude kube namhlanje, imini yenceba yakhe ifikile; kwaye ube nenceba nomonde kwabo bahlala emhlabeni. Kwaye xa kufika imini, namandla, nesohlwayo, nomgwebo, iNkosi yeeMimoya ebalungiselele abo bangawunquliyo umthetho olungileyo, nabo baphika umgwebo olungileyo, nabo balibiza igama lakhe ngeze-loo mini ilungiselelwe, abanyuliweyo ngumnqophiso, kodwa aboni baphenye. Xa isohlwayo seNkosi yeeMimoya sihlala phezu kwabo, siya kuphumla ukuze isohlwayo seNkosi yeeMimoya singafiki, ngeze, kwaye siya kubulala abantwana kunye nooni kunye nabantwana kunye nooyise. Emva koko umgwebo uya kwenzeka ngokwenceba yakhe nomonde wakhe. UEnoki 60:4-6 Ngaloo mini kuya kuphakama ilizwi elinye, libonge, lizukise, liphakamise, ngomoya wokholo, nangomoya wobulumko, nangomoya wokunyamezela, nangomoya wenceba, nangomoya wokugweba, nangowoxolo, nangomoya wokulunga, kwaye bonke baya kuthi ngazwi linye: "Makabongwe, kwaye igama leNkosi yemimoya malibongwe ngonaphakade kanaphakade." Bonke abangalaliyo phezulu ezulwini baya kumbusisa: Bonke abangcwele abasezulwini baya kumbusisa,

nabo bonke abanyuliweyo abahlala emyezweni wobomi: Kwaye wonke umoya wokukhanya onokukwazi ukubusisa, nokuzukisa, nokuphakamisa, nokungcwalisa igama lakho elibusisiweyo, Kwaye yonke inyama iya kuzukisa, ibonge igama lakho ngonaphakade kanaphakade. Kuba inkulu inceba yeNkosi yemimoya, kwaye inomonde, Kwaye yonke imisebenzi yakhe nayo yonke into ayidalileyo uyityhilele abalungileyo nabanyuliweyo, egameni leNkosi yemimoya. UEnoki 61:11-13 Bonke ookumkani, nabanamandla, nabaphakamileyo, nabo balawula umhlaba, baya kuwa phantsi phambi kwakhe ngobuso, bamnqule, babeke ithemba labo kuNyana woMntu, baze bamcelele inceba ezandleni zakhe. Enoki 62:9 Yeha nina nithanda izenzo zobubi! Kutheni na ninethemba lokuba izinto ezilungileyo ziza kunilungela? Yazini ukuba niya kunikelwa ezandleni zamalungisa, aze aninqumle iintamo zenu, anibulale, angabi nanceba kuni. Enoki 98:12
IJasher Saza safika kweli lizwe ukuze siphephe indlala, yaye le ngozi imbi indihlelele; ngoko ke, Nkosi Thixo, sihlangule usisindise esandleni salo mcinezeli, wenze okulungileyo kum ngenxa yenceba yakho. Jasher 15:18 Ngelo xesha iingelosi zenceba zeza phambi kweNkosi zathetha naye ngoIsake, zisithi, 67 Nkosi, unguKumkani onenceba novelwano phezu kwayo yonke into oyidalileyo ezulwini nasemhlabeni, kwaye wena uyabaxhasa bonke; ngoko ke nika intlawulelo nentlawulelo esikhundleni somkhonzi wakho uIsake, kwaye ube nenceba kwaye ube nenceba kuAbraham nakuIsake unyana wakhe, abayenzayo imiyalelo yakho namhlanje. Jasher 23:66-67 Wathi uRebheka kuIsake, “Ndivile, nkosi yam, ukuba unyoko uSara wayengenabantwana ngemihla yakhe, de iNkosi yam uAbraham, uyihlo, yamthandazela, wamitha ngaye.” Ngoko ke sukuma, uthandaze kuThixo, uya kuwuva umthandazo wakho, asikhumbule ngenceba yakhe.” Wathi uIsake, “Owu Yehova, Thixo wezulu nomhlaba, olungileyo nenceba yakho izalise umhlaba, wena owamthabathayo ubawo endlwini kayise, nasendaweni yakhe yokuzalwa, wamzisa kweli lizwe, wathi kuye, ‘Imbewu yakho ndiya kuyinika eli lizwe,’ waza wena wamthembisa, wathi kuye, ‘Ndiya kuyandisa imbewu yakho ibe njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, ibe njengentlabathi yolwandle.’ Ngoko ke, amazwi akho awathethayo kubawo makaqinisekiswe.” UJasher 26:2-3,6 Emva koko, ngenxa yenceba enkulu kaThixo, ndafumana iinkomo, iiesile, iinkomo, nezicaka, nezicakakazi. (Jasher 32:5) Kuba ndiyazi ukuba ngenxa yobubele nenceba ndifumene obu butyebi, ngoko ke ndiyakubongoza ukuba undihlangule namhlanje ngobubele bakho, undiphendule. Jasher 32:23 UnguLowo uvuselela iimfazwe, uziphelise, esandleni sakho kukho amandla namandla okuphakamisa nokuwisa; Ngamana umthandazo wam ungamkeleka phambi kwakho ukuba ubuyele kum ngeenceba zakho, ukuze uchukumise iintliziyo zaba kumkani nabantu babo ngoloyiko loonyana bam, kwaye uboyikise bona kunye neenkampu zabo, kwaye ngobubele bakho obukhulu bahlangule bonke abo bakholose ngawe, kuba nguwe onokuthi uthobe abantu phantsi kwethu kwaye unciphise iintlanga phantsi kwamandla ethu. Jasher 34:70 UYakobi wathandaza kuYehova ngenxa yoonyana bakhe, waza wolula izandla zakhe kuYehova, wathi, Thixo, unguThixo uSomandla, ungubawo wethu, wena wasidalayo kwaye thina 26

singumsebenzi wezandla zakho; Ndicela ukuba usindise oonyana bam ngenceba yakho esandleni seentshaba zabo, eziza kulwa nabo namhlanje kwaye ubasindise esandleni sabo, kuba esandleni sakho kukho amandla namandla, ukusindisa abambalwa kwabaninzi. Kwaye unike oonyana bam, abakhonzi bakho, amandla entliziyo namandla okulwa neentshaba zabo, ukubaboyisa, nokubawisa phambi kwabo, kwaye mabangabulawa oonyana bam nabakhonzi babo ngezandla zabantwana baseKanan. Kodwa ukuba kulungile emehlweni akho ukubasusa ubomi boonyana bam nabakhonzi babo, bathabathe ngenceba yakho enkulu ngezandla zabakhonzi bakho, ukuze bangatshabalali namhlanje ngezandla zookumkani bama-Amori. UJasher 37:14-16 Wathi uYakobi koonyana bakhe, Ndithembele eNkosini uThixo ukuba iya kunihlangula, ininike ubabalo emehlweni okumkani waseYiputa, naphambi kwawo onke amadoda akhe. Ngoko ke sukani niye kuloo ndoda, nithabathele esandleni sayo isipho kwinto enokufunyanwa kweli lizwe, nisizise phambi kwayo, uThixo uSomandla anganinika inceba phambi kwayo, ukuze ithumele uBhenjamin noSimeyon abazalwana benu kunye nani. Asuka onke amadoda, athabatha uBhenjamin umzalwana wawo, athabatha esandleni sawo isipho esikhulu sezona zilungileyo zelizwe, athabatha nesahlulo sesilivere esiphindwe kabini. UYakobi wabayalela ngokungqongqo oonyana bakhe ngoBhenjamin, esithi, Mlumkeleni endleleni enihamba ngayo, ningazahluli kuye endleleni, naseYiputa. Wesuka uYakobi koonyana bakhe, wolula izandla zakhe, wathandaza kuYehova ngenxa yoonyana bakhe, esithi, Yehova, Thixo wezulu nomhlaba, khumbula umnqophiso wakho nobawo uAbraham, khumbula nobawo uIsake, wenze inceba kubantwana bam, ungabanikeli esandleni sokumkani waseYiputa; kwenze oko ndiyakucela, Thixo, ngenxa yenceba yakho, ukhulule bonke abantwana bam, ubahlangule emandleni aseYiputa, ubathumelele abazalwana babo ababini. Jasher 52:22-26
IiJubhili Inceba yakho, Nkosi, mayiphakanyiswe phezu kwabantu bakho, udale kubo umoya othe tye, ungavumeli umoya wobutshinga ubalawule ukuze ubamangalele phambi kwakho, nokubarhintyela kuzo zonke iindlela zobulungisa, ukuze batshabalale phambi kobuso bakho. IiYubhe 1:19 Kubhaliwe kwaye kumiselwe ukuba uya kuba nenceba kubo bonke abaguqukayo kuzo zonke izono zabo kube kanye ngonyaka. IiYubheli 5:18 Wathandaza phambi koYehova uThixo wakhe, wathi: Thixo woomoya benyama yonke, ondenzele inceba. Wandisindisa mna noonyana bam emanzini onogumbe, Wangandibangela ukuba nditshabalale njengoko wenzayo koonyana bokutshabalala; Kuba ubabalo lwakho belukhulu kum, Kwaye inceba yakho ibe nkulu emphefumlweni wam; Ubabalo lwakho maluphakanyiswe koonyana bam, Ungavumeli imimoya emibi ibalawule. Hleze babatshabalalise emhlabeni. IiYubheli 10:3 Uyise uTera wathi kuye: Hamba ngoxolo: Ngamana uThixo ongunaphakade angawulungisa umendo wakho. UYehova makabe nawe, akukhusele kuyo yonke into embi, Akunike ubabalo, inceba, nobabalo phambi kwabo bakubonayo, Kwaye makungabikho namnye kubantwana babantu onegunya phezu kwakho ukuba akwenze okubi; Hamba ngoxolo. IiJubhili 12:29 Musani ukubakhonza, ningaqubudi kubo, kodwa khonzani uThixo oPhezukonke, nimnqule rhoqo: Nithembele ebusweni bakhe ngamaxesha onke, nize nenze okulungileyo nobulungisa phambi kwakhe, ukuze akholiswe ngani, aninike inceba yakhe, aninike imvula kusasa nangokuhlwa, anisikelele yonke imisebenzi yenu eniyenzileyo emhlabeni, anisikelele isonka senu namanzi enu, anisikelele isiqhamo sesisu senu nesiqhamo somhlaba wenu, nemihlambi yeenkomo zenu, nemihlambi yeegusha zenu.

Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
Thixo wam, ngamana inceba yakho noxolo lwakho zingaba phezu komkhonzi wakho, nakwimbewu yoonyana bakhe, ukuze babe luhlanga olukhethiweyo kuwe nelifa phakathi kweentlanga zonke zomhlaba ukususela ngoku kuse kuyo yonke imihla yezizukulwana zomhlaba, kude kuse kwixesha elingenammiselo. IiYubheli 22:9 Wambusisa uYakobi wathi: “Nyana wam, endivuya ngaye ngentliziyo yam yonke nangothando lwam lonke, ngamana ubabalo lwakho nenceba yakho zingaphakanyiswa phezu kwakhe nakwimbewu yakhe ngonaphakade.” (IiYubheli 22:28) Uya kubavusa aboni beentlanga, abangenanceba nanceba, kwaye abayi kuhlonipha mntu, nokuba mdala okanye mncinci, okanye nabani na, kuba bangendawo kwaye banamandla okwenza ububi kunabo bonke abantwana babantu. Baya kusebenzisa ugonyamelo nxamnye noSirayeli kunye nokreqo nxamnye noYakobi, kwaye igazi elininzi liya kuphalala emhlabeni, kwaye akuyi kubakho mntu wokubutha kunye nomntu wokungcwaba. IiJubhili 23:23 Amathambo abo aya kuphumla emhlabeni, nomoya wabo uya kuba nemihlali kakhulu, bazi ukuba nguYehova owenza umgwebo, kwaye ubenzela inceba amakhulu amawaka, nakubo bonke abamthandayo. IiYubheli 23:31 UYakobi wamxelela uyise yonke into ebusuku, indlela uYehova amenzele inceba enkulu ngayo, nendlela amphumelelise ngayo kuzo zonke iindlela zakhe, nendlela amkhusele ngayo ebubini bonke. UIsake wamdumisa uThixo kayise uAbraham, ongazange ayisuse inceba yakhe nobulungisa bakhe kubantwana bomkhonzi wakhe uIsake. IiJubhili 31:24-25 Ndixelele, mama, ukuba yintoni na into embi oyibonileyo kum, ndiza kuyishiya, ndize ndibe nenceba. IiYubheli 35:5 Wathi kuye: Ndiyakucela ukuba ngomhla endifa ngawo, undingenise undingcwabe kufutshane noSara, unina kayihlo, nokuba wena noYakobi nithandane, ninganqweneli ububi ngomnye, kodwa nithandane kuphela, ukuze niphumelele, nyana bam, nizukiswe phakathi kwelizwe, kungabikho lutshaba luya kunivuyelela, nibe yintsikelelo nenceba emehlweni abo bonke abanithandayo. IiYubheli 35:20 Athumela kuye amadoda aseHebron esithi, Yabona, umninawa wakho ufikile kuwe, ezokulwa nawe, enamawaka amane exhobe ngekrele, ephethe iingweletshetshe nezikhali; kuba babemthanda uYakobi ngaphezu koEsawu. Bamxelela ke; kuba uYakobi wayengumntu onobubele nonobubele kunoEsawu. IiJubhili 37:15 UYehova wamnika uYosefu ubabalo nenceba emehlweni kaFaro, waza uFaro wathi kubakhonzi bakhe: “Asiyi kufumana mntu ulumkileyo noqondayo njengalo, kuba umoya kaYehova unaye.” Ilizwe laseYiputa lahlala linoxolo phambi kukaFaro ngenxa kaYosefu, kuba uYehova wayenaye, wamnika ubabalo nenceba kuzo zonke izizukulwana zakhe phambi kwabo bonke ababemazi nabo beva ngaye, kwaye ubukumkani bukaFaro babucwangcisiwe kakuhle, kwaye kwakungekho Sathana kwaye kungekho mntu ungendawo apho.” IiJubhili 40:5,9 Wathi uSirayeli kuYosefu: “Ngoku mandife kuba ndikubonile, makabongwe uYehova uThixo kaSirayeli, uThixo ka-Abraham, noThixo kaIsake, ongayekanga inceba yakhe nobubele bakhe kumkhonzi wakhe uYakobi.” IiYubheli 45:3

Iincwadi Ezilahlekileyo ZeBhayibhile Bakuba bonke bethandaza, umbingeleli omkhulu, ngokwesiqhelo, waya kubuza kuThixo. Kwangoko kwavakala ilizwi liphuma emkhombeni, nesihlalo soxolo, bonke ababekho beva, ukuba kufuneka kubuzwe okanye kufunwe ngesiprofeto sikaIsaya apho intombi ifanele inikwe khona ize itshate; Kuba uIsaya uthi, kuya kuphuma intonga esiqwini sikaYese, kwaye kuya kuphuma intyatyambo engcanjini yayo, kwaye uMoya weNkosi uya kuhlala phezu kwakhe, uMoya woBulumko nokuqonda, uMoya weNgcebiso namandla, uMoya woLwazi noBungcwele, noMoya wokoyika uYehova uya kumzalisa. IVangeli lokuZalwa kukaMariya 5:12-15 Kwimbali yezizwe ezilishumi elinambini zakwaSirayeli sifunda ukuba kwakukho umntu othile ogama linguJoachim, owayesisityebi kakhulu, wanikela iminikelo ephindwe kabini eNkosini uThixo, emva kokuba egqibile esi sigqibo: Ubutyebi bam buya kuba bobonke abantu, kwaye ndifumane inceba eNkosini uThixo ukuze ndixolelwe izono zam. Emva koko uSimeyon wasondela kuMariya oNgcwele, waza wolula izandla zakhe kuye, wathi kwiNkosi uKristu, “Ngoku, Nkosi yam, umkhonzi wakho uza kuhamba ngoxolo, ngokwelizwi lakho; kuba amehlo am ayibonile inceba yakho, oyilungiselele usindiso lweentlanga zonke; ukukhanya kubo bonke abantu, nozuko lwabantu bakho amaSirayeli.” 1 Iindaba ezilungileyo zoBuntwana 2:8-9 Wathi ke yena, Nkosi, unobubele, unenceba, unobubele; undinike oonyana ababini; omnye kubo umthathile, ndisindise lo mnye. 1 IVangeli loBusana 11:4 Waza wathi uMariya oNgcwele, “Inceba yeNkosi uYesu Kristu mayibe phezu kwenu; Wabanika intwana yamanzi awayehlambe ngawo umzimba kaYesu Kristu, wabayalela ukuba bahlambe umntu ogulayo ngawo; bakuba begqibile, waphiliswa kwangoko; ngoko ke bona, nabo bonke ababekho, bamdumisa uThixo; baza bavuya kakhulu, babuyela emzini wabo, bamdumisa uThixo ngenxa yoko.” 1 IVangeli loBusana 12:19-21 Emva koko baqubuda ngoko nangoko eNkosini uYesu, bambongoza, besithi, Nkosi yethu Yesu, nyana kaMariya, ungumalusi olungileyo kaSirayeli ngenene! yiba nenceba kubakhonzazana bakho, abami phambi kwakho, abangathandabuziyo, kodwa ukuba wena, Nkosi, uze kusindisa, kungekhona ukutshabalalisa. Emva koko, xa iNkosi uYesu yathi, abantwana bakwaSirayeli bafana namaTopiya phakathi kwabantu; abafazi bathi, Wena, Nkosi, uyazi zonke izinto, akukho nto ifihlakeleyo kuwe; kodwa ngoku siyakubongoza, kwaye sibongoza inceba yakho ukuba ubabuyisele abo bafana kwimeko yabo yangaphambili. 1 Iindaba Ezilungileyo Zobuntwana 17:8-9 Lo ngulowo simnqula ngentlonelo yonke, kuba wasinika ubomi bethu nobukho bethu, waza wasikhupha esizalweni sikanina. Othe ngenxa yethu wathabatha umzimba womntu, waza wasihlawulela, ukuze asibambe ngenceba engunaphakade, aze asibonise ubabalo lwakhe olukhululekileyo, olukhulu, noluninzi kunye nokulunga. Makube kuye uzuko, nendumiso, namandla, nobukhosi, ukususela ngoku kude kube ngunaphakade, Amen. 1 Iindaba Ezilungileyo Zobuntwana 22:5-7 Kwaphuma omnye umYuda, wathi, Bendiyimfama, ndisiva izandi, kodwa bendingaboni mntu; njengoko uYesu wayehamba, ndeva isihlwele sidlula, ndaza ndabuza ukuba yintoni na apho? Bandixelele ukuba uYesu wayedlula: ndaza ndadanduluka, ndisithi, Yesu, Nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba. Wema, wathi mandiziswe kuye, wathi kum, Ufuna ntoni na? Ndathi, Nkosi, ukuze ndibone. Yathi kum, Buya ubone; ndaza ndabona kwangoko, ndamlandela, ndivuya, ndibulela. IVangeli likaNikodemo 5:20-23 29

IVangeli likaNikodemo 14 1 Kodwa xa umntu wokuqala ubawo wethu uAdam weva ezi zinto, zokuba uYesu wabhaptizwa eYordan, wabiza unyana wakhe, uSete, wathi, 2 Xelela oonyana bakho, oobawomkhulu nabaprofeti, zonke ezo zinto, owazivayo kuMikayeli, ingelosi enkulu, xa ndakuthuma emasangweni eParadesi, ukuba ucele kuThixo ukuba andithambise intloko xa ndandigula. 3 Waza uSete, esondela koobawomkhulu nabaprofeti, wathi, Mna Sete, xa ndandithandaza kuThixo emasangweni eParadesi, ndabona ingelosi yeNkosi, uMikayeli wabonakala kum esithi, Ndithunywe kuwe yiNkosi; ndonyulwe ukuba ndongamele imizimba yabantu. 4 Ndikuxelela Seth, musa ukuthandaza kuThixo ulila, kwaye umcelele ioli yomthi wenceba yokuthambisa uyihlo uAdam ngenxa yentlungu yentloko yakhe; 5 Kuba awunakuyifumana nangayiphi na indlela kude kube yimini yokugqibela namaxesha, oko kukuthi, kude kudlule iminyaka engamawaka amahlanu anamakhulu amahlanu. 6 Emva koko uKristu, uNyana kaThixo onenceba kakhulu, uza kuza emhlabeni ukuze avuse umzimba womntu ka-Adam, kwaye kwangaxeshanye avuse imizimba yabafileyo, aze xa efika abhaptizwe eYordan: 7 Emva koko ngeoli yenceba yakhe uya kubathambisa bonke abo bakholwayo kuye; kwaye ioli yenceba yakhe iya kuqhubeka kwizizukulwana ezizayo, kwabo baya kuzalwa ngamanzi nangoMoya oyiNgcwele ebomini obungunaphakade. 8 Kwaye xa ngelo xesha uNyana kaThixo onenceba kakhulu, uKristu Yesu, eya kuhla emhlabeni, uya kwazisa ubawo wethu uAdam eParadesi, kumthi wenceba. 9 Xa bonke oobawomkhulu nabaprofeti beva zonke ezi zinto kuSete, bavuya ngakumbi. Emva koko iNkosi ibambe uAdam ngesandla, yamnikela kuMikayeli isithunywa sezulu; yabakhokelela eParadesi, izele yinceba nozuko; IVangeli likaNikodemo 20:1 Bakuba beve yonke le ngxelo evela kwisela, bonke oobawomkhulu bathi ngazwi linye, Makabongwe wena, Thixo uSomandla, Yise wobubele obungunaphakade, noYise wenceba, oye wababonisa ububele obunjalo abo babengaboni kuye, waza wabazisa kwinceba yeParadesi, waza wababeka phakathi kwezinto zakho ezinkulu nezingokomoya, ebomini bokomoya nobungcwele. Amen. IVangeli likaNikodemo 20:14 Oku kuxhomekeke ekubeni uThixo asivumele ukuba sikunxulumane nani; ngoko ke mdumiseni nimnike imbeko, niguquke, aze abe nenceba kuni. Uxolo malube nani eNkosini uThixo uYesu Kristu, noMsindisi wethu sonke. Amen, Amen, Amen. IVangeli likaNikodemo 21:6 Nokuba ndiyaphila okanye ndiyafa; kuba kum ukuphila kuya kuba bubomi kuKristu, ukufa kuya kuba luvuyo. Kwaye iNkosi yethu iya kusinika inceba yayo, ukuze nibe nothando olufanayo, nibe nengqondo efanayo. Ileta kaPawulos eya kwabaseLawodike 1:8-9 Naza nizele ziinjongo ezilungileyo, nenza ngokuzimisela okukhulu kwengqondo, nangokuzithemba okukhulu konqulo, nisolulela izandla zenu kuThixo uSomandla, nimbongoza ukuba abe nenceba kuni, ukuba nithe namona ngantoni na kuye ngokungathandi. 1 Clement to the Corinthians 1:11 Ngoko ke masithobele intando yakhe ebalaseleyo nezukileyo; size sicele inceba nokulunga kwakhe, siguqe phambi kwakhe, sizithobe kwinceba yakhe, silahle konke ukuzingca, neengxabano, nomona okhokelela ekufeni. 1 Clement kwabaseKorinte 5:1 Yibani nenceba, niya kwenzelwa inceba; xolelani, niya kuxolelwa; njengoko nenza njalo, niya kwenzelwa nani; njengoko nipha, niya kwenzelwa nani; njengoko nigwebayo, niya kugwetywa

ngokunjalo nani; njengoko ninobubele kwabanye, uThixo uya kwenzelwa nani inceba; ngoko ke umlinganiselo enilinganisela ngawo, niya kulinganiselwa ngawo nani. 1 Clement kwabaseKorinte 7:4 Kodwa masibe nobubele omnye komnye, ngokwenceba nobumnandi balowo wasidalayo. Kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Abanenceba baya kulidla ilifa ilizwe, kwaye abo bangenabubi baya kusala kulo: kodwa aboni baya kutshabalala ebusweni balo. 1 Clement kwabaseKorinte 7:9-10 Kodwa yena ngokwakhe uthi kuThixo, Ndibabale, Thixo, ngokwenceba yakho; ngokobuninzi benceba yakho, cima izigqitho zam. 1 Clement kwabaseKorinte 8:25 Zonke ezi zinto zinoMdali Omkhulu neNkosi yazo zonke, eyalelwe ukuba zigcine uxolo nemvisiswano; zibe nobubele kubo bonke. Kodwa ngakumbi kuthi thina sibalekela inceba yakhe ngeNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu; kuye makube luzuko nobungangamsha ngonaphakade kanaphakade. Amen. 1 Clement kwabaseKorinte 9:17-18 Zininzi iinkathazo zabangendawo; kodwa abo bathembela eNkosini, inceba iya kubajikeleza. UBawo wethu onenceba nesisa unemfesane kwabo bamoyikayo; kwaye ngobubele nangothando ubapha bonke abo beza kuye benengqondo elula. 1 Clement kwabaseKorinte 11:8-9 Ngoko ke, ekubeni zonke izinto zibonwa kwaye ziviwa nguThixo, masimoyike, size silahle imisebenzi yethu engendawo evela kwiinkanuko ezimbi, ukuze ngenceba yakhe sikhululwe ekugwetyweni okuzayo. Ngoko ke masize kuye sinentliziyo engcwele, siphakamise izandla ezimsulwa nezingenabala kuye, simthanda uBawo wethu onobubele nenceba, osenze sabelana ngonyulo lwakhe. 1 Clement kwabaseKorinte 13:1,6 Ngoko ke masithandazele nabo bawele esonweni. Ukuze, bethobeke ngokuthobeka nangokuzingisa, bangathobeli thina, kodwa bathobele ukuthanda kukaThixo. Kuba ngale ndlela baya kufumana isikhumbuzo esivelisayo nesigqibeleleyo, ngenceba, kokubini emithandazweni yethu kuThixo, nasekubakhankanyeni kwethu phambi kwabangcwele bakhe. Amalungisa, utsho, aya kundifundisa ngenceba aze andikhalimele; kodwa ioli yaboni mayingandityebisi intloko. 1 Clement kwabaseKorinte 23:1-2,7 Ngoko ke, ekubeni esibonise inceba enkulu kangaka; kwaye ngenxa yoko, thina baphilayo, ngoku asisabingeleli kuThixo abafileyo, asisaqubudi kubo, kodwa singeniswe kuye ekumazini uYise wenyaniso. Ngoko ke, bazalwana, masimvume ngemisebenzi yethu; ngokuthandana; ngokungakrexezi, ngokungathethi kakubi omnye komnye, singamonelani; kodwa ngokuba nesidima, inceba, ukulunga. 2 Clement kwabaseKorinte 2:8,13 Ekubeni ke ngoko singabangenakuqonda, sifanele ukuqonda icebo likaBawo wethu onenceba. Kuba uthetha nathi, enqwenela ukuba thina besikwimpazamo efanayo malunga nemibingelelo, sifune size sifumane indlela yokusondela kuye. Ileta Jikelele kaBharnabhas 2:11 Ngaphezu koko kubhaliwe malunga nesabatha, kwiMithetho elishumi, uThixo awayithetha eNtabeni yeSinayi kuMoses, ubuso ngobuso; Ngcwalisa isabatha yeNkosi ngezandla ezicocekileyo, nangentliziyo ecocekileyo. Kwaye kwenye indawo uthi: Ukuba abantwana bakho baya kuzigcina iisabatha zam, ndiya kubanika inceba yam. Kwaye kwasekuqaleni kwendalo ukhankanya isabatha. Kwaye uThixo wenza imisebenzi yezandla zakhe ngemihla emithandathu; waza wayigqiba ngomhla wesixhenxe, waza waphumla ngomhla wesixhenxe, waza wayingcwalisa. Cingani, bantwana bam, oko kuthetha ukuthini, wayigqiba ngemihla emithandathu. Intsingiselo yayo yile; ukuba kwiminyaka

engamawaka amathandathu iNkosi uThixo iya kuphelisa zonke izinto. Ileta Jikelele kaBarnabas 13:1-4 Ndiyazi ukuba ndingubani, kwaye ndibhalela nabani na; Mna, umntu ogwetyiweyo: nina, nina nenzelwe inceba: Mna, ndisengozini; nina, niqinisekisiwe ukuba nibe sengozini. Ileta ka-Ignatius eya kwabase-Efese 3:9 Ndithandazeleni nam; nina ngenceba kaThixo nifuna imithandazo yenu, ukuze ndifanele isabelo endisifumanayo, ukuze ndingafunyanwa ndingumntu ongenakucikideka. Ileta ka-Ignatius eya kumaTrallians 3:5 UIgnatius, okwabizwa ngokuba nguTheophorus, kwibandla elifumene inceba evela kubuqaqawuli bukaYise oPhezukonke, noNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo uYesu Kristu; othandekayo, nokhanyiselwe ngentando yalowo uthanda zonke izinto ngokothando lukaYesu Kristu uThixo wethu, olawula endaweni yesithili samaRoma; kwaye endibulisa egameni likaYesu Kristu njengabamanyeneyo enyameni nasemoyeni kuyo yonke imiyalelo yakhe, nabazaliswe lubabalo lukaThixo; lonke uvuyo kuYesu Kristu uThixo wethu. Incwadi kaIgnatius eya kwabaseRoma 1:1 Kodwa ndineentloni nokuba ndibalwe njengomnye wabo: Kuba andifanelekanga, kuba ndingoyena mncinane kubo, kwaye ndinjengozelwe ngaphambi kwexesha elifanelekileyo. Kodwa ngenceba ndizuze ukuba ngumntu othile, ukuba ndifuna ukuya kuThixo. Incwadi ka-Ignatius eya kwabaseRoma 3:10 UIgnatius, okwabizwa ngokuba nguTheophorus, kwibandla likaThixo uYise, nakwiNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, eliseFiladelfiya e-Asiya; ofumene inceba, enamathele kwisivumelwano sikaThixo, evuya rhoqo entliziyweni yeNkosi yethu, ezaliswe yinceba yonke ngokuvuka kwakhe: Endibulisa ngegazi likaYesu Kristu, eliluvuyo lwethu olungunaphakade nolungangcolanga; ingakumbi ukuba bamanyene nobhishophu, nabadala abakunye naye, nabadikoni abamiselweyo ngokwengqondo kaYesu Kristu; awabamisa ngokwentando yakhe ngokuqinileyo ngoMoya wakhe oyiNgcwele: Incwadi kaIgnatius kumaFiladelfiya 1:1 Kodwa umthandazo wenu kuThixo uya kundenza ndigqibelele, ukuze ndifikelele kuloo sabelo, endisinikwe ngenceba kaThixo: Ukubalekela kwiVangeli njengokwenyama kaKristu; nakubapostile njengokwabadala bebandla. Ileta kaIgnatius eya kumaFiladelfiya 2:2 UIgnatius, okwabizwa ngokuba nguTheophorus, kwibandla likaThixo uYise, nelikaYesu Kristu othandekayo, athe uThixo wasisikelela ngenceba ngazo zonke izipho ezilungileyo, ezele lukholo nothando, kangangokuba oku akusweleki sipho; sifaneleke kakhulu kuThixo, kwaye sineziqhamo kwabangcwele: ibandla eliseSmirna eAsiya; lonke uvuyo, ngomoya wakhe ongenasiphako, nelizwi likaThixo. Ileta kaIgnatius eya kumaSmirna 1:1 Ubabalo, nenceba, noxolo, nokuzeka kade umsindo, makube nani ngonaphakade. Ileta kaIgnatius eya kwabaseSmirna 3:23 UPolycarp, kunye nabadala abakunye naye, kulo ibandla likaThixo eliseFilipi: Makube kuni inceba noxolo oluvela kuThixo uSomandla, kwaye iNkosi uYesu Kristu, uMsindisi wethu, mayandiswe. Ileta kaPolycarp eya kwabaseFilipi 1:1

Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
Kodwa sikhumbula oko iNkosi isifundise kona xa isithi, Musani ukugweba, ningagwetywa; xolelani, niya kuxolelwa; yibani nenceba, niya kwenzelwa inceba; kuba ngomlinganiselo enilinganisela ngawo, niya kulinganiselwa ngawo nani kwakhona. Ileta kaPolycarp eya kwabaseFilipi 1:10 Kwaye amadoda amakhulu makabe nenceba kubo bonke, abasuse kwiimpazamo zabo, abafune abo babuthathaka, angabalibali abahlolokazi, iinkedama, namahlwempu; kodwa ahlale elungiselela okulungileyo emehlweni kaThixo nakwabantu. Ileta kaPolycarp eya kwabaseFilipi 2:15 Okanye ndingathini na ukumbonga uYehova ngenxa yezono zam ezininzi nezinkulu? Ndingambongoza ngawaphi amazwi ukuba abe nenceba kum? 1 Incwadi yoMalusi waseHermas (Imibono) 1:15 Kodwa ngoku inceba kaThixo ikunike inceba kuwe nakwindlu yakho, yaza yakuthuthuzela kakhulu. Kodwa wena ke, musa ukubhadula, kodwa yiba nengqondo ephilileyo, kwaye uthuthuzele indlu yakho. 1 Incwadi yoMalusi kaHermas (Imibono) 1:23 Kwaye xa eziva ezi zinto, uya kuzibamba, aze afumane inceba. 1 Incwadi yoMalusi kaHermas (Imibono) 2:11 Kodwa abo bangaze bamkhanyele, ngenceba yakhe enkulu kakhulu uya kuba nenceba kubo. 1 Incwadi yoMalusi kaHermas (Imibono) 2:20 Amatye ayisikwere namhlophe avumelana ngokuchanekileyo kwiindawo zawo, ngabapostile, noobhishophu, noogqirha, kunye nabefundisi, abathi ngenceba kaThixo bangene, balawula, bafundisa, bakhonza ngobungcwele nangokuthobeka abanyulwa bakaThixo, bobabini abo baleleyo, nabasaseleyo; kwaye bahlala bevumelana nabo, kwaye babe noxolo ngaphakathi kwabo, kwaye beva omnye nomnye. 1 Incwadi yoMalusi kaHermas (Imibono) 3:52 Kwaye ngenene bathwala ityhefu yabo kwiibhokisi, kodwa nina niqulathe ityhefu yenu kunye nosulelo ezintliziyweni zenu, kwaye aniyi kuzihlambulula, kwaye nixube ingqondo yenu nentliziyo ecocekileyo, ukuze nifumane inceba kuKumkani Omkhulu. 1 Incwadi yoMalusi kaHermas (Imibono) 3:103 Yaphendula yathi kum, “Akukho nto ikufikeleyo na, ndoda?” Ndaphendula ndathi, “Nkosikazi, ndifikelwe sisilo esinjalo, esibonakala ngathi sinokuqwenga abantu bonke; kodwa ngamandla kaThixo, nangenceba yakhe ekhethekileyo, ndisindile kuso.” 1 Incwadi yoMalusi kaHermas (Imibono) 4:16 Ngoko ke iNkosi yethu enenceba yasivela isidalwa sayo, yaza yamisela olo guquko, yaza yandinika amandla alo. Ke ngoko ndithi kuni, ukuba nabani na emva kolo bizo lukhulu nolungcwele uya kulingwa ngumtyholi nesono, uguquka kanye. Kodwa ukuba uya kona kaninzi aze aguquke akuyi kumnceda umntu onjalo; kuba akanakuphila kuThixo. 2 Incwadi yoMalusi kaHermas (Imiyalelo) 4:22 Musa ukucinga ngolu hlobo, kodwa jika uye eNkosini ngentliziyo yakho yonke, uze uyicele ngaphandle kokuthandabuza, uze uyazi inceba yeNkosi; ukuba ayiyi kukushiya, kodwa iya kuzalisekisa isicelo somphefumlo wakho. 2 Incwadi yoMalusi kaHermas (Imiyalelo) 9:2 Kodwa umntu obuhlungu uhlala esenza ububi. Okokuqala, wenza ububi, kuba uwenza buhlungu uMoya oyiNgcwele, onikwe umntu, engumntu ochwayitileyo. Kwakhona wenza ububi, kuba

Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
uthandaza eNkosini ebuhlungu, kwaye akaqali ukuvuma inceba yakhe yangaphambili, kwaye akafumani kuThixo oko akucelileyo. 2 Incwadi yoMalusi kaHermas (Imiyalelo) 10:20 Ngoko ke, xa inceba yeNkosi ikhanya, abo bakhonza uThixo baya kubonakala, baze bacace kubo bonke. Kuba njengoko ehlotyeni iziqhamo zemithi yonke zibonakaliswa kwaye zibonakala, ngokunjalo nemisebenzi yabalungileyo iya kwaziswa kwaye ibonakaliswe, kwaye baya kubuyiselwa kwelo hlabathi bevuya kwaye bevuya. 3 Incwadi yoMalusi kaHermas (Izifaniso) 4:3 Kodwa ngoku zigcine; kwaye ekubeni uThixo enamandla onke kwaye enenceba, uya kukunika isicombululo kwinto oyenzileyo ngaphambili, ukuba kwixesha elizayo awuyi kuyingcolisa umzimba nomoya wakho; 3 Incwadi yoMalusi kaHermas (Izifaniso) 5:62 Ukuze nazi, utsho, ukuba ububele nenceba yeNkosi inkulu, kwaye ifanelwe yimbeko; owabanika umoya wakhe abo bafanelwe kukuguquka. 3 Incwadi yoMalusi kaHermas (Izifaniso) 8:46 Ngenxa yezi zinto zonke ndiyibulela iNkosi, kuba ishukunyiswe yinceba kubo bonke abo babizwa ngegama layo, yathumela kuthi ingelosi yenguquko ukuba ilawule thina bonayo kuyo; nokuba ihlaziye imimoya yethu eyayisele iphantse yaphela, kwaye ingenalo ithemba losindiso, kodwa ngoku ihlaziyekile ekuvuseleleni ubomi. 3 Incwadi yoMalusi kaHermas (Izifaniso) 9:135 Bangabantu abakholwayo, kwaye babesoloko belungile kwaye bethe tye; kwaye bengenamahluko phakathi kwabo, kodwa besavuya ngabakhonzi bakaThixo, benxibe umoya wezi ntombi; kwaye bebesoloko bekulungele ukubonisa inceba kubo bonke abantu, benika bonke abantu imisebenzi yabo ngaphandle kokugxeka, kwaye ngaphandle kokucinga. 3 Incwadi yoMalusi kaHermas (Izifaniso) 9:211 Ngoko ke, musa ukunyathela phantsi kweenyawo zakhe, wathi, inceba yakhe; kodwa mzukiseni, kuba unomonde kakhulu kwiziphoso zenu, kwaye akafani nomnye wenu; kodwa guqukani, kuba oko kuya kuba luncedo kuni. 3 Incwadi yoMalusi kaHermas (Izifaniso) 9:274
Iincwadi Ezilityaliweyo zase-Eden Kwakhona, ngenxa yokuba uThixo unenceba kwaye unenceba enkulu, kwaye ulawula zonke izinto ngendlela ayaziyo yedwa, wenza ubawo wethu uAdam wahlala kumda osentshona wegadi, kuba kwelinye icala umhlaba ubanzi kakhulu. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 1:8 Incwadi ka-Adam noEva 1 3 6 Emva koko uThixo, ngenceba yakhe kuAdam owayenziwe ngokomfanekiso wakhe nangokufana naye, wamcacisela ukuba le yiminyaka eyi-5 000 kunye ne-500; kunye nendlela umntu awayeza kuza ngayo aze amsindise yena nembewu yakhe. 7 Kodwa uThixo wayesenze lo mnqophiso nobawo wethu, uAdam, ngendlela efanayo, ngaphambi kokuba aphume emyezweni, xa wayesecaleni komthi uEva awathabatha kuwo isiqhamo waza wamnika ukuba adle. 8 Njengokuba ubawo wethu uAdam wayephuma emyezweni, wadlula ecaleni kwaloo mthi, waza wabona indlela uThixo awayeyitshintshe ngayo imbonakalo yawo yaba yenye imo, nendlela owawubuna ngayo. 9 Njengoko uAdam wayesiya kuyo woyika, wangcangcazela waza wawa phantsi; kodwa uThixo ngenceba yakhe wamphakamisa, waza wenza lo mnqophiso naye. 10 Kwaye, kwakhona, xa uAdam wayesesangweni lomyezo, waza wabona ikherubhi inekrele lomlilo ovuthayo esandleni sayo, kwaye ikherubhi yacaphuka yaza yajongana nayo, bobabini uAdam noEva 34

bamoyika, baza bacinga ukuba uceba ukubabulala. Ngoko bawa ngobuso babo, baza bangcangcazela luloyiko. 11 Kodwa waba nenceba kubo, waba nenceba kubo; wajika kubo, wenyuka waya ezulwini, wathandaza kuYehova, wathi: 12 Nkosi, undithumile ukuba ndilinde esangweni lomyezo, ndiphethe ikrele lomlilo. 13 Kodwa xa abakhonzi bakho, uAdam noEva, bandibonayo, bawa ngobuso babo, baba ngathi bafile. Nkosi yam, siya kwenza ntoni na kubakhonzi bakho? 14 UThixo waba nenceba kubo, waba nenceba kubo, wathumela ingelosi yakhe ukuba igcine umyezo. Yintoni le ngqameko yeliwa ejingayo ukuze isikhusele, xa ithelekiswa nenceba yeNkosi eyasigubungelayo? 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 4:6 Waza wasukuma, wolula izandla zakhe kuThixo, emcela ukuba amncede ngenceba nangenceba, wathi, Thixo, ndixolele isono sam, isono endisenzileyo, ungasikhumbuli kum. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 5:4 Wandithabatha, mna thambo, wandenza umfazi okhanyayo njengaye, onentliziyo, ingqiqo, nentetho; nasenyameni, njengowakhe; wandenza ngokomfanekiso wobuso bakhe, ngenceba yakho namandla akho. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam noEva 5:10 Xa uAdam noEva beva la mazwi avela kuThixo, balila baza balila ngakumbi; kodwa baqinisa iintliziyo zabo kuThixo, kuba ngoku babevakalelwa kukuba iNkosi kubo injengoyise nomama; kwaye ngenxa yesi sizathu kanye, balila phambi Kwakhe, baza bacela inceba Kuye. 1 Incwadi kaAdam noEva 7:1 UThixo, onenceba nobabalo, wabajonga belele emanzini, besondele ekufeni, wathumela isithunywa sezulu, sabakhupha emanzini, sababeka elunxwemeni lolwandle njengabafileyo. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam noEva 10:1 Kodwa iNkosi enenceba yajonga ukufa kuka-Adam, kunye nokuthula kuka-Eva ngenxa yokoyika ubumnyama. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 12:5 Emva koko uThixo, onenceba novelwano, weva ilizwi lika-Adam, wathi kuye: Kodwa ndakuva ngesigqitho sakho, ndakuhlutha oko kukhanya kuqaqambileyo. Kodwa, ngenceba yam, andikuguqulelanga ebumnyameni, kodwa ndakwenza umzimba wakho wenyama, endisasaze phezu kwawo olu lusu, ukuze luthwale ingqele nobushushu. Kodwa ngenceba yam, ndikwenze wanjengokuba unjalo; xa waphula umyalelo wam, Adam, ndakugxotha emyezweni, ndakwenza waphuma waya kweli lizwe; ndaza ndakuyalela ukuba uhlale kulo mqolomba; kwaye ubumnyama bafika kuwe, njengoko benzayo kulowo waphula umyalelo wam. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam noEva 13:1,7,9 Kodwa uThixo onenceba, ojonga izidalwa zakhe, wajonga uAdam noEva xa babelele befile, waza wathumela iLizwi lakhe kubo, wabavusa. 1 Incwadi kaAdam noEva 21:8 Emva koko uAdam walila ngakumbi wathi, Owu Thixo, yiba nenceba kum, kangangoko ndinokukuthwala oko ndiza kukwenza. Emva koko uAdam noEva bema phantsi kwesibingelelo balila, ngaloo ndlela bembongoza uThixo besithi, Sixolele izono zethu nezono zethu, usijonge ngeliso lakho lenceba. Kuba xa sasisemyezweni iindumiso zethu neengoma zethu zenyuka phambi kwakho ngaphandle kokuyekelela. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam noEva 23:1,6

Emva koko uThixo onenceba, olungileyo nothanda abantu, wajonga uAdam noEva, negazi labo, ababelinikele kuye; ngaphandle komyalelo ovela kuye wokwenza oko. Kodwa wamangaliswa ngabo; waza wamkela iminikelo yabo. UThixo wathumela umlilo oqaqambileyo ebusweni bakhe, owatshisa iminikelo yabo. Wayiva ivumba elimnandi leminikelo yabo, waza wababonisa inceba. 1 Incwadi kaAdam noEva 24:1-3 Ngaloo ndlela kuya kwaziwa ukuba unguThixo onenceba, ongathandiyo ukuba nabani na atshabalale; ongathandi ukuba nabani na awe; ongagwebi mntu ngenkohlakalo, kakubi, nangokutshabalalisa ngokupheleleyo. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 25:5 Xa ndijonga zonke izinto ezilungileyo owawuphila kuzo, nesizathu sokuba uphume kuzo, bendiya kukubonisa inceba ngokuzithandela. Kodwa andinakuyitshintsha imnqophiso ephume emlonyeni wam; ukuba bekungenjalo bendiya kukuzisa emyezweni. Nangona kunjalo, xa umnqophiso uzalisekile, ndiya kukubonisa inceba wena nembewu yakho, ndikuse kwilizwe lovuyo, apho kungekho lusizi nakubandezeleka; kodwa uvuyo oluhlala luhleli novuyo, nokukhanya okungapheliyo, neendumiso ezingapheliyo; negadi entle engasayi kuze idlule. Incwadi yoku-1 ka-Adam no-Eva 26:13-15 Kodwa xa uThixo onenceba wabona ukuba uSathana wayefuna ukubulala uAdam ngamaqhinga akhe amaninzi, waza wabona ukuba uAdam ululamile kwaye akanankohliso, uThixo wathetha noSathana ngelizwi elikhulu, waza wamqalekisa. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 29:1 Akuva uAdam la mazwi avela kuThixo, waqubuda phambi Kwakhe. Yena noEva bamnqula baza bambulela, kuba wayebenzele inceba. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 31:4 Ngenceba yakho, Thixo, ndisindise kwezi zibetho nezilingo, undise kwelinye ilizwe elahlukileyo kweli, ukuba awundivumeli ukuba ndihlale emyezweni wakho. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 41:13 Ndiya kuthi ke ngenceba ndisindise umphefumlo wakho kunye nemiphefumlo yamalungisa, ndibaphumze emyezweni wam. Kwaye oko kuya kwenzeka xa isiphelo sehlabathi sifikile. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 42:6 Kodwa ngenceba kaThixo wayengenakukwazi ukuwutshisa umqolomba, kuba uThixo wathumela ingelosi yakhe ukuba ijikeleze umqolomba ukuze iwukhusele kumlilo onjalo, de wacima. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 43:16 Ukuba bekungengenxa yenceba yam, bendiya kukuchitha wena nemikhosi yakho emhlabeni. Kodwa ndibe nomonde nawe, kude kube sekupheleni kwehlabathi. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 44:5 Khangela, umlilo utshise inyama yethu kweli hlabathi; kodwa kuya kuba njani xa sifile, uSathana esiya kuhlwaya imiphefumlo yethu? Ukukhululwa kwethu akukude na, ngaphandle kokuba uThixo eze, aze ngenceba asizalisekise isithembiso sakhe? 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 47:2 Kodwa, ngenceba kuwe, kanye njengoko elo litye laliwela phezu kwakho, ndaliyalela ukuba lenze isigqubuthelo phezu kwakho; nelitye elingaphantsi kwakho, ukuba lizehlise. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam noEva 49:7 Kodwa uAdam noEva bavuka kwakhona baza bathandaza kuThixo emqolombeni ubusuku bonke, baza bacela inceba kuye. 1 Incwadi kaAdam noEva 50:3

Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
Emva koko xa imizimba ka-Adam noEva yayigqunyiwe, bema bathandaza, bacela inceba eNkosini, nokuxolelwa, bambulela ngokuba ebenenceba kubo, waza wagubungela ubuze babo. Abazange bayeke ukuthandaza ubusuku bonke. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam noEva 52:11 Kodwa uThixo ngenceba yakhe, wamgxotha phakathi kwethu waza wamsa kulo mhlaba umnyama; kuba wayesele eba bubumnyama kwaye engumsebenzi wokungalungi. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 55:14 Yazi ke, ububele bam kuwe, nenceba yam kuwe, sidalwa sam; ukuba andikuphindezelanga ngenxa yesikreqo sakho kum, kodwa ngenxa yenceba yam kuwe ndikuthembisile ukuba ekupheleni kweentsuku ezintlanu ezinesiqingatha ndiya kuza ndikusindise. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 56:7 Kuba wathi ngaphakathi kuye, Kaloku xa bezigqibile iintsuku ezingamashumi amane zokuzila nokuthandaza, uThixo uya kubabuyisela kwimeko yabo yangaphambili; kodwa ukuba ebengenjenjalo, ebeya kuba nenceba kubo; nokuba ebengenanceba kubo, ebeya kubanika into evela emyezweni ukuze ibathuthuzele; njengoko sele kuphindwe kabini ngaphambili. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 60:4 Kodwa mna, ngenceba nangobubele bam kuni, andizange ndimvumele ukuba anitshabalalise; kodwa ndamgxotha kuni. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 61:10 Kodwa ngenceba kaThixo, kwangoko nje ukuba loo makhiwane mabini afike emhlabeni, uThixo woyisa icebo likaSathana malunga nawo; waza wawenza aba yimithi emibini yeziqhamo, eyayigubungela umqolomba. Kuba uSathana wayewangcwabe kwicala lasempuma lawo. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 62:3 Hayi ngenxa yakhe nje kuphela, le mithi ayikhulanga ngaxeshanye; kodwa ndikusikelele, ndaza ndayalela ukuba ikhule. Yakhula yaba yimithi emibini emikhulu, ukuze ugqunywe ngamasebe ayo, ufumane ukuphumla; kwaye ndikwenze ubone amandla am nemisebenzi yam emangalisayo. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 63:9 Emva koko uAdam wabongoza iNkosi wathi, Nkosi, masingatshabalali ngenxa yokutya esikutyileyo. Nkosi, ungasibethi; kodwa yenza kuthi ngokwenceba yakho enkulu, ungasishiyi kude kube yimini yesithembiso owasenzela sona. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 65:5 Emva koko bathandaza kuThixo ukuba abe nenceba kubo; emva koko, ingqondo yabo yazola, iintliziyo zabo zaphuka, nomnqweno wabo waphola; baza baba njengabaphambukeli emhlabeni. Ngobo busuku uAdam noEva bachitha ixesha emqolombeni, apho balala khona kakhulu ngenxa yokutya ababekutyile. 1 Incwadi kaAdam noEva 65:10 Baphinda banikela lo mnikelo kwisibingelelo ababesakhe ekuqaleni. Basukuma bathandaza, bacela iNkosi besithi, “Ngaloo ndlela, Thixo, xa sasisemyezweni, iindumiso zethu zaphakama kuwe, njengalo mnikelo; kwaye ubumsulwa bethu banyuka kuwe njengesiqhumiso. Kodwa ngoku, Thixo, yamkela lo mnikelo kuthi, ungasijiki, ngaphandle kwenceba yakho.” Emva koko uThixo wathi kuAdam noEva, “Ekubeni niwenze lo mnikelo kwaye niwunikele kum, ndiya kuwenza ube yinyama yam, xa ndifika emhlabeni ukuze ndinisindise; kwaye ndiya kuwunikela rhoqo esibingelelweni, ukuze kuxolelwe kwaye kubekho inceba, kwabo bathatha inxaxheba kuwo ngokufanelekileyo.” 1 Incwadi kaAdam noEva 68:11-12

Inceba kaThixo noMntu UYehova unenceba, unobabalo, uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ngenceba. INdumiso 103:8 Ngoko ke yibani nenceba, njengokuba noYihlo enenceba. Luka 6:36
UThixo wathi kuAdam, “Oku kuya kuba sisiko kuni, xa nifikelwa yimbandezelo nosizi. Kodwa ukukhululwa kwenu nokungena kwenu emyezweni, akuyi kuba kude kuzaliseke imihla, njengoko kuvunyelwene phakathi kwam nawe; ukuba bekungenjalo, bendiya kuthi, ngenxa yenceba yam nenceba yam kuwe, ndikubuyisele emyezweni wam nakwinceba yam ngenxa yomnikelo eniwunikeleyo egameni lam.” 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 68:16 Kodwa uAdam akubona ubunzima uEva awayekubo, waphakama wathandaza kuThixo, wathi, “Nkosi, ndijonge ngeliso lenceba yakho, umkhuphe ekubandezelekeni kwakhe.” 1 Incwadi ka-Adam noEva 74:4 Emva koko uThixo wathi kuKayin, “Nabani na okufumanayo akayi kukubulala,” kuba ngaphambi koko, uThixo wayesithi kuKayin, “Ndiya kuziyeka izigwebo ezisixhenxe kuye lowo ubulala uKayin.” Kuba ngokubhekisele kwilizwi likaThixo kuKayin, “Uphi umnakwenu?” uThixo wakuthetha oko ngenceba kuye, ukuzama ukumenza aguquke. 1 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 79:20 Kwaye ngokutsho kukaThixo kuKayin, "Mawuqalekiswe umhlaba osele igazi lomntakwenu," oko kwakunjalo nangenceba kaThixo kuKayin. Kuba uThixo akazange amqalekise, kodwa waqalekisa umhlaba; nangona yayingenguwo umhlaba owabulala uAbheli, waza wenza ubugwenxa. Kuba kwakufanelekile ukuba isiqalekiso siwele phezu kombulali; kodwa ngenceba uThixo walawula iingcinga Zakhe kangangokuba akukho mntu unokuzazi, aze amshiye uKayin. Incwadi yoku-1 kaAdam noEva 79:22-23 Ngoko ke, Adam, ndiyiqonda intliziyo yakho, ndikuhlangule izihlandlo ezininzi ezandleni zakhe; ukuze ndikubonise ukuba ndinguThixo onenceba; nokuba ndikunqwenelela okulungileyo, nokuba andikunqweneleli ukutshatyalaliswa. 2 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 3:16 USete, xa wayeneminyaka esixhenxe ubudala, wayekwazi okulungileyo nokubi, kwaye wayezila ukutya rhoqo kwaye ethandaza, kwaye wachitha ubusuku bonke ecela inceba noxolelo kuThixo. 2 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 5:1 Emva koko, xa wayesihla esibingelelweni, emva kokugqiba umnikelo wakhe, uSathana wabonakala kuye ngesimo sesithunywa esihle, esikhazimlayo ngokukhanya; ephethe intonga yokukhanya esandleni sakhe, ebhinqe ibhanti yokukhanya. Wambulisa uSete ngoncumo oluhle, waza waqalisa ukumkhohlisa ngamazwi amnandi, esithi kuye, O Sete, kutheni uhlala kule ntaba? Kuba irhabaxa, izele ngamatye nesanti, nemithi engenaziqhamo zilungileyo kuyo; intlango engenamakhaya nemizi; akukho ndawo ilungileyo yokuhlala kuyo. Kodwa konke kubushushu, ukudinwa, neengxaki. Uya kuhlala kweli hlabathi lethu. kwaye uphumle kweli hlabathi kunye nosizi lwalo; awusayi kuphinda uzive utyhafile kwaye udiniwe; awusayi kuze uzise umnikelo, okanye ucele inceba; kuba awusayi kuphinda wenze isono, okanye ushukunyiswe ziinkanuko. 2 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 5:4-5,9 Emva koko uSete wema phambi komzimba kayise uAdam, nokanina uEva, wathandaza ubusuku nemini, ecela inceba kuye nakubantwana bakhe; nokuba xa enengxaki yokujongana nomntwana, uThixo uya kumnika icebiso. 2 Incwadi ka-Adam noEva 11:5 Emva koko xa ukwakhiwa kophahla kugqityiwe, wabayalela ukuba benze iminikelo. Basebenza ngenkuthalo kuzo, bazizisa kuSete uyise owazithabatha waza wazinikela esibingelelweni; waza wathandaza kuThixo ukuba amkele iminikelo yabo, abe nenceba kwimiphefumlo yabantwana bakhe, aze abakhusele esandleni sikaSathana. 2 Incwadi ka-Adam noEva 12:5

Emva koko uMahalaleli wema phezu kwabantu bakhe, wabondla ngobulungisa nangobumsulwa, waza wabajonga ukuze abone ukuba abanabudlelwane nabantwana bakaKayin. Waqhubeka ethandaza kwaye ekhonza phambi komzimba kabawo wethu uAdam, ecela uThixo ukuba amxolele yena nabantu bakhe; wada waba neminyaka engamakhulu asibhozo anamashumi asixhenxe ubudala, xa wagula. 2 Incwadi ka-Adam noEva 16:1-2 Emva koko uYaredi wenza umnikelo waza wawunikela esibingelelweni, njengoko uAdam wayemyalele. Njengoko wayenyuka esibingelelweni, wathandaza kuThixo ukuba acele inceba nokuxolelwa kwesono sakhe, malunga nokucima kwesibane. 2 Incwadi ka-Adam no-Eva 18:13 Waphinda wabafungisa, esithi, Ndifunga ngokufa kukabawo wethu uAdam, nangegazi lika-Abheli, likaSete, lika-Enoshe, likaKenan, nelikaMahalaleli, ukuba nindiphulaphule, ningehli kule ntaba ingcwele; kuba xa nisuka kuyo, niya kuba nobomi nenceba; anisayi kubizwa ngokuba ningabantwana bakaThixo, kodwa ningabantwana bomtyholi. 2 Incwadi ka-Adam noEva 20:27 Emva koko uYaredi walila phambi kweNkosi, waza wacela inceba noxolelo kuyo. Kodwa wayenqwenela ukuba umphefumlo wakhe ungasuka emzimbeni wakhe, kunokuba eve la mazwi avela kuThixo malunga nokuhla kwabantwana bakhe kwiNtaba eNgcwele. 2 Incwadi ka-Adam noEva 20:36 Emva koko, abantwana bakaSete baphambuka baza bawa, bona nabantwana babo kunye nabafazi babo. Xa uEnoki, uMethusela, uLameki noNowa bababona, iintliziyo zabo zabandezeleka ngenxa yokuwa kwabo bengenathemba, bezaliswe kukungakholwa; baza balila, bacela inceba kuThixo, ukuba abalondoloze, nokubakhupha kweso sizukulwana singendawo. 2 Incwadi ka-Adam noEva 22:3 Aze loo madoda mabini andikhokelela kwicala laseMantla, andibonisa apho indawo eyoyikekayo kakhulu, kwaye kwakukho zonke iintlobo zeentlungu kuloo ndawo: ubumnyama obunoburhalarhume nobumnyama obungakhanyiswanga, kwaye akukho kukhanya apho, kodwa umlilo omnyama uhlala uvutha phezulu, kwaye kukho umlambo ovuthayo ophumayo, kwaye loo ndawo yonke ingumlilo kuyo yonke indawo, kwaye kuyo yonke indawo kukho iqabaka nomkhenkce, unxano nokungcangcazela, ngelixa iintambo zinoburhalarhume kakhulu, kwaye iingelosi ziyoyika kwaye zingenanceba, ziphethe izixhobo zomsindo, intuthumbo engenanceba, ndaza ndathi: Iimfihlo zikaEnoki 10:1 Ngokuba inceba yeNkosi iya kuba phezu kwabo bamoyikayo ... kwaye ube nenceba kwilungisa, umhlangula ekubandezelweni komoni, wenze ngokwenceba yakhe kwabangcwele bakhe, iiNdumiso zikaSolomon 3 Inceba yakho, Nkosi, mayibe phezu kwabo bonke abakuthandayo.

INdumiso 6 Kuba wena unenceba, kwaye awuyi kuba nomsindo ude usigqibe. Ngelixa igama lakho lihlala phakathi kwethu, siya kufumana inceba; neentlanga aziyi kusinceda. Uya kusiqinisa ngexesha

(Odes of Solomon 16:6-7) UMoya wavula isibeleko seNtombikazi, yaza yamitha, yazala; yaza iNtombikazi yaba nguMama onenceba ezininzi; Iindumiso zikaSolomon 19:6 Wandiphakamisa ngokwenceba yakhe, wandiphakamisa ngokobuhle bakhe obukhulu. Iindumiso zikaSolomon 29:3 Wena, Thixo, uyazi ukuba nangona ndingazisindisa, ndiya kufa ziintlungu ezivuthayo ngenxa yoMthetho wakho.

Kodwa xa babefuna ukumbulala, ndabafungisa kakhulu ngeenyembezi ukuba bangabi natyala kwesi sono. Kuba uSimeyon noGadi beza kulwa noYosefu ukuze bambulale, wathi kubo ngeenyembezi: Ndibabaleni, bazalwana bam, yibani nenceba kwizibilini zikaYakobi ubawo wethu; musani ukundibeka izandla zenu ukuze nichithe igazi elimsulwa, kuba andikonanga.

Ngenxa yale nto yonke iNkosi yandisikelela, kwaye xa bonke abazalwana bam babegula, ndasinda ngaphandle kokugula, kuba iNkosi iyazi iinjongo zomntu ngamnye. Ngoko ke yibani nenceba ezintliziyweni zenu, bantwana bam, kuba njengoko umntu esenza kummelwane wakhe, iNkosi iya kwenza njalo kuye.

ITestamente kaZebhulon 2:1-4 Ngoko ke, bantwana bam, ngoko uThixo aninika kona, bonisani inceba nenceba ngaphandle kokuthandabuza kubo bonke abantu, nize ninike wonke umntu ngentliziyo entle. Ukuba aninawo amandla okumnika lowo usweleyo, yibani nenceba kuye ngentliziyo yenceba. Ndiyazi ukuba isandla sam asifumananga amandla okumnika lowo usweleyo, ndahamba naye ndilila iikhilomitha ezisixhenxe, kwaye izibilini zam zazimlangazelela ngenceba. Ngoko ke, nani bantwana bam, yibani nenceba kuye wonke umntu, ukuze iNkosi ibe nenceba nenceba kuni.

ITestamente kaNafetali 1:30-32 Ekubeni ke ngoko isibindi sam sasibekwe ngokungenalusini nxamnye noYosefu, nasesibindini sam ndabandezeleka ngokungenalusini, ndaza ndagwetywa iinyanga ezilishumi elinanye, ixesha elide njengoko ndandimcaphukele uYosefu. ITestamente kaGadi 1:36 Umntu omnye uyamthiya umntu onenceba nongenabulungisa, nomntu okrexezayo aze azile ukutya: oku, nako, kuneenkalo ezimbini, kodwa wonke umsebenzi ulungile, kuba ulandela umzekelo weNkosi, kuba akayamkeli into ebonakala ilungile njengelungileyo yokwenene. ITestamente kaAsheri 1:24 Kodwa iNkosi iya kunihlanganisa ndawonye elukholweni ngenceba yayo enobubele, nangenxa kaAbraham, uIsake, noYakobi.

Ngoko ke, landelani inceba yakhe ngengqondo elungileyo, ukuze nani ninxibe izithsaba zozuko. Kuba umntu olungileyo akanamehlo amnyama; kuba ubenzela inceba bonke abantu, nangona bengaboni. Nangona beceba ububi ngaye, ngokwenza okulungileyo uyoyisa ububi, ekhuselwe nguThixo; kwaye uthanda ilungisa njengomphefumlo wakhe.
