I-Pentateuch Genesise 3:1-15 1 Inyoka yayinobuqili kakhulu kunezilwane zasendle uJehova uNkulunkulu ayezenzile. Yathi kowesifazane: “Yebo, uNkulunkulu ushilo yini ukuthi: ‘Ningadli emithini yonke yensimu’?” 2 Owesifazane wathi enyokeni: “Singadla izithelo zemithi yasensimini.” 3 Kodwa izithelo zomuthi ophakathi nensimu, uNkulunkulu ushilo ukuthi: ‘Ningadli kuwo, ningawuthinti, funa nife.’ 4 Inyoka yathi kowesifazane: “Aniyikufa nokufa; 5 Ngoba uNkulunkulu uyazi ukuthi mhla nidla kuwo, amehlo enu ayakuvuleka, nibe njengonkulunkulu, nazi okuhle nokubi. 6 Owesifazane ebona ukuthi umuthi ulungele ukudliwa, nokuthi uyathandeka emehlweni, nokuthi umuthi unxanelekile ukwenza umuntu ahlakaniphe, wathatha isithelo sawo, wadla, wanika nomyeni wakhe kanye naye; naye wadla. 7 Amehlo abo bobabili avuleka, bazi ukuthi bahamba ze; bathunga amaqabunga omkhiwane, bazenzela ama-aproni. 8 Base bezwa izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu ehamba ensimini ngesikhathi sokuphumula kwelanga; uAdamu nomkakhe bacasha ebusweni bukaJehova uNkulunkulu phakathi kwemithi yensimu. 9 UJehova uNkulunkulu wambiza u-Adamu, wathi kuye: “Uphi na?” 10 Wathi: “Ngizwe izwi lakho ensimini, ngesaba ngokuba bengihamba ze; ngase ngicasha.” 11 Wasesithi: Ngubani okutshelileyo ukuthi uhamba ze? Udlile yini okwesihlahla engakulaya ngaso ukuthi ungasidli? 12 Indoda yathi: “Owesifazane owanginika yena ukuba abe nami, unginikile isithelo somuthi, ngadla.” 13 UJehova uNkulunkulu wathi kowesifazane: “Kuyini lokhu okwenzileyo na?” Owesifazane wathi: “Inyoka ingikhohlisile, ngadla.” 14 UJehova uNkulunkulu wathi enyokeni: “Njengoba usukwenzile lokhu, uqalekisiwe phakathi kwazo zonke izilwane zasendle; uzakuhamba ngesisu sakho, udle uthuli izinsuku zonke zokuphila kwakho.” 15 Ngizakubeka ubutha phakathi kwakho nowesifazane, naphakathi kwenzalo yakho nenzalo yakhe; yona iyakuchoboza ikhanda lakho, wena uyakulimaza isithende sayo.

Izinkondlo UJobe 1:1-22 1 Kwakukhona umuntu ezweni lase-Uzi ogama lakhe lalinguJobe; lowo muntu wayephelele, elungile, wayemesaba uNkulunkulu, egwema okubi. 2 Wazalelwa amadodana ayisikhombisa namadodakazi amathathu. 3 Impahla yakhe yayiyizimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, namakamela ayizinkulungwane ezintathu, nezinkabi ezingamakhulu amahlanu, nezimbongolo zezinsikazi ezingamakhulu amahlanu, nendlu enkulu kakhulu; kangangokuthi lo muntu wayemkhulu kunabo bonke abantu basempumalanga. 4 Amadodana akhe ayehamba ayokwenza idili ezindlini zawo, yilowo nalowo ngosuku lwakhe; athumela abize odadewabo abathathu ukuba badle, baphuze nabo. 5 Kwathi lapho izinsuku zedili labo seziphelile, uJobe wathuma wabangcwelisa, wavuka ekuseni kakhulu, wanikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa ngokwenani labo bonke, ngokuba uJobe wathi: “Mhlawumbe amadodana ami onile, athuke uNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zawo.” Wenze njalo uJobe njalo. 6 Kwathi ngelinye ilanga kwafika amadodana kaNkulunkulu ukuzoma phambi kukaJehova, noSathane wafika phakathi kwawo. 7 UJehova wayesethi kuSathane: “Uvelaphi na?” USathane wamphendula uJehova, wathi: “Ekuzulazuleni emhlabeni nasekuhambeni kuwo.” 8 UJehova wathi kuSathane: “Uyiqaphele inceku yami uJobe, ukuthi akakho onjengaye emhlabeni, umuntu opheleleyo nolungileyo, owesaba uNkulunkulu, nogwema okubi.” 9 USathane wamphendula uJehova, wathi: “UJobe uyamesaba uNkulunkulu ngeze na? 10 Awumbiyelanga yini yena nendlu yakhe nakho konke anakho nxazonke, wabusisa umsebenzi wezandla zakhe, nempahla yakhe yanda ezweni? 11 Kepha yelula isandla sakho manje, uthinte konke anakho, khona uyakukuthuka ebusweni bakho. 12 UJehova wathi kuSathane: “Bheka, konke anakho kusezandleni zakho; kuphela kuyena ungabeki isandla sakho.” USathane wayesesuka ebusweni bukaJehova. 13 Kwathi ngolunye usuku lapho amadodana akhe namadodakazi akhe babedla, bephuza iwayini endlini yomfowabo omkhulu, 14 Kwafika isithunywa kuJobe, sathi: “Izinkabi bezilima, izimbongolo ziklabile eceleni kwazo; 15 AmaSheba ahlasela phezu kwawo, awathatha; yebo, abulele izinceku ngosiko lwenkemba; mina ngedwa kuphela ngisindile ukukubikela. 16 Esakhuluma, kwafika nomunye, wathi: “Umlilo kaNkulunkulu uwile ezulwini, washisa izimvu nezinceku, waziqeda; mina ngedwa kuphela ngisindile, ukuze ngikubikele.”

17 Esakhuluma, kwafika nomunye, wathi: “AmaKaledi enza amaviyo amathathu, ahlasela amakamela, awathatha, abulala izinceku ngosiko lwenkemba; mina ngedwa kuphela ngisindile, ukuze ngikubikele.” 18 Esakhuluma, kwafika nomunye, wathi: “Amadodana akho namadodakazi akho ayedla, ephuza iwayini endlini yomfowabo omkhulu.” 19 Bheka, kwafika umoya omkhulu uvela ehlane, washaya amagumbi amane endlu, yawela phezu kwezinsizwa, zafa; mina ngedwa ngisindile ukuzokubikela. 20 UJobe wasukuma, waklebhula ingubo yakhe, waphuca ikhanda lakhe, wawela phansi, wakhuleka, 21 wathi: “Ngaphuma ngize esizalweni sikamama, ngiyakubuyela khona ngize; uJehova wapha, uJehova uthathile; malibongwe igama likaJehova.” 22 Kukho konke lokhu uJobe akonanga, futhi akamangalelanga uNkulunkulu ngobuwula. UJobe 2:1-7 1 Kwathi futhi ngosuku lapho amadodana kaNkulunkulu eza khona ukuma phambi kukaJehova, noSathane wafika phakathi kwawo ukuma phambi kukaJehova. 2 UJehova wayesethi kuSathane: “Uvelaphi na?” USathane wamphendula uJehova, wathi: “Ekuzulazuleni emhlabeni nasekuhambeni kuwo.” 3 UJehova wathi kuSathane: “Uyiqaphele inceku yami uJobe ukuthi akekho onjengaye emhlabeni, umuntu opheleleyo nolungileyo, owesaba uNkulunkulu, nogwema okubi, nokho usabambelele ekupheleleni kwakhe, noma ungishukumisele ukuba ngimbhubhise ngeze.” 4 USathane wamphendula uJehova, wathi: “Isikhumba ngesikhumba, yebo, konke umuntu anakho uyakunika ngokuphila kwakhe.” 5 Kepha yelula isandla sakho manje, uthinte amathambo akhe nenyama yakhe, impela uyakukuthuka ebusweni bakho. 6 UJehova wathi kuSathane: “Bheka, usesandleni sakho; kodwa sindisa ukuphila kwakhe.” 7 Ngakho uSathane wasuka ebusweni bukaJehova, wamshaya uJobe ngamathumba amabi, kusukela phansi konyawo lwakhe kuze kube sekhanda lakhe. Yebo, banikela ngamadodana namadodakazi abo emademonini, AmaHubo 106:37 Futhi bangiphindisele okubi ngokuhle, nenzondo ngothando lwami.

Isiprofetho Yeka ukuthi uwe kanjani ezulwini, Lusifa, ndodana yokusa! Yeka ukuthi unqunyelwe phansi, wena owathobisa izizwe! Ngokuba uthe enhliziyweni yakho: ‘Ngizokhuphukela ezulwini, ngiphakamise isihlalo sami sobukhosi ngaphezu kwezinkanyezi zikaNkulunkulu; ngizohlala entabeni yomhlangano, emaphethelweni asenyakatho: Ngizokhuphukela ngaphezu kwamafu aphakeme; ngizofana noPhezukonke.’ Kodwa uzokwehliselwa esihogweni, emaphethelweni egodi.’ Isaya 14:12-15 UHezekeli 28:11-19 11 Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi: 12 “Ndodana yomuntu, yenza isililo ngenkosi yaseTire, uthi kuyo: ‘Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Uyisivikelo sakho, ugcwele ukuhlakanipha, uphelele ngobuhle.’ 13 Ubuse-Edene, insimu kaNkulunkulu; wonke amatshe ayigugu ayeyisimbozo sakho, isardiyu, itopazi, nedayimani, ibherili, i-onikisi, nejaspi, isafire, isimaragidu, nekharbuncle, negolide; umsebenzi wezigubhu zakho nemibhobho yakho walungiswa kuwe ngosuku lokudalwa kwakho. 14 Wena uyikherubi eligcotshiweyo elimbozayo; futhi ngikubeke kanjalo; wawusentabeni engcwele kaNkulunkulu; wawuhambahamba phakathi kwamatshe omlilo. 3

15 Wawuphelele ezindleleni zakho kusukela osukwini lokudalwa kwakho, kwaze kwatholakala ububi kuwe. 16 Ngobuningi bempahla yakho bagcwalise phakathi kwakho ngobudlova, wonile; ngalokho ngiyakukuxosha njengongcolileyo entabeni kaNkulunkulu, ngikubhubhise, wena kherubi elisibekelayo, phakathi kwamatshe omlilo. 17 Inhliziyo yakho yaphakama ngenxa yobuhle bakho, wonakalisa ukuhlakanipha kwakho ngenxa yokukhanya kwakho; ngiyakukuphonsa phansi, ngikubeke phambi kwamakhosi ukuba akubone. 18 Ungcolisile izindawo zakho ezingcwele ngobuningi bobubi bakho, ngobubi bokuhweba kwakho; ngakho-ke ngiyakukhipha umlilo phakathi kwakho, uyakukuqeda, ngikulethe emlotheni emhlabathini emehlweni abo bonke abakubonayo. 19 Bonke abakwaziyo phakathi kwabantu bayakumangala ngawe; uyakuba yingebhe, awusayikuba khona naphakade. Wangibonisa uJoshuwa umpristi omkhulu emi phambi kwengelosi kaJehova, noSathane emi ngakwesokunene sakhe ukumelana naye. UJehova wathi kuSathane: “UJehova makakukhuze, Sathane; yebo, uJehova okhethile iJerusalema makakukhuze; lesi akusiso yini isikhuni esikhishwe emlilweni na?” Zakariya 3:1-2
AmaVangeli kanye nezEnzo Mathewu 4:1-11 1 Khona uJesu waholwa nguMoya ehlane ukuba alingwe nguDeveli. 2 Esezilile ukudla izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane, walamba kakhulu. 3 Kwase kufika umlingi kuye, wathi: “Uma uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, yisho ukuba lawa matshe abe yizinkwa.” 4 Kodwa waphendula wathi: “ Kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Umuntu akayikuphila ngesinkwa sodwa, kodwa ngamazwi onke aphuma emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu.’ 5 UDeveli wamthatha wamyisa emzini ongcwele, wammisa esiqongweni sethempeli, 6 Wathi kuye: “Uma uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ziphonse phansi; ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Uyakuyaleza izingelosi zakhe ngawe, zikuthwale ngezandla zazo, funa uqhumuke unyawo lwakho etsheni.’ ” 7 UJesu wathi kuye: “ Kulotshiwe futhi ukuthi: ‘Ungayilingi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.’ 8 UDeveli waphinda wamyisa entabeni ende kakhulu, wamkhombisa yonke imibuso yezwe nenkazimulo yayo; 9 wathi kuye: “Konke lokhu ngizokunika khona, uma uziwisa phansi, ungikhulekele.” 10 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Suka lapha, Sathane; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uzakhonza iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, njalo uzakhonza yena yedwa. 11 UDeveli wayesemshiya, bheka, kwafika izingelosi, zamkhonza. Udumo lwakhe lwanda kulo lonke elaseSiriya, baletha kuye bonke abagulayo abaphethwe yizifo nezifo ezahlukahlukene, nabakhwelwe ngamademoni, nabanesithuthwane, nabafe uhlangothi, wabaphulukisa. Mathewu 4:24 Abaningi bayakuthi kimi ngalolo suku: Nkosi, Nkosi, asiprofethanga yini ngegama lakho, sakhipha amademoni ngegama lakho, senza imisebenzi eminingi emangalisayo ngegama lakho, na? Mathewu 7:22 Kwathi sekuhlwile, baletha kuye abaningi abakhwelwe ngamademoni; wakhipha omoya ngezwi lakhe, waphulukisa bonke abagulayo; Mathewu 8:16 4

Mathewu 8:28-34 28 Kwathi esefikile ngaphesheya ezweni lamaGerigesi, kwahlangana naye ababili abakhwelwe ngamademoni, bephuma emathuneni, benolaka olukhulu, kangangokuthi kwakungekho muntu owayengadlula ngaleyo ndlela. 29 Bheka, bamemeza bathi: “Sinamsebenzi muni nawe Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu? Uze lapha ukusihlupha ngaphambi kwesikhathi na?” 30 Kwakukhona kude nabo umhlambi wezingulube eziningi ziklabile. 31 Amademoni amncenga, athi: “Uma usikhipha, sivumele singene emhlambini wezingulube.” 32 Wathi kuwo: “ Hambani.” Aphuma angena emhlambini wezingulube; bheka, umhlambi wonke wezingulube wagijimela phansi endaweni eweni wangena elwandle, wafela emanzini. 33 Ababelusi babaleka, baya emzini, babika konke, nalokho okwehlele abakhwelwe ngamademoni. 34 Bheka, umuzi wonke waphuma ukuyomhlangabeza uJesu; bathi bembona, bamncenga ukuba asuke emikhawulweni yakubo. Kwathi bephuma, bheka, baletha kuye umuntu oyisimungulu onedemoni. Kwathi lapho idemoni selikhishiwe, isimungulu sakhuluma; izixuku zamangala, zathi: “Akukaze kubonwe okunje kwaIsrayeli.” Kodwa abaFarisi bathi: “Ukhipha amademoni ngenkosi yamademoni.” Mathewu 9: 32-34 Phulukisani abagulayo, nihlambulule abanochoko, nivuse abafileyo, nikhiphe amademoni; namukele ngesihle, yiphani ngesihle. Mathewu 10:8 Kwanele umfundi ukuba abe njengomfundisi wakhe, nenceku ibe njengenkosi yayo. Uma bebize umninindlu ngokuthi uBelzebule, kakhulu kangakanani abendlu yakhe? Mathewu 10:25 Ngokuba uJohane weza engadli, engaphuzi; bathi: ‘Unedemoni.’ Mathewu 11:18 Mathewu 12:22-28 22 Kwase kulethwa kuye umuntu okhwelwe yidemoni, eyimpumputhe nesimungulu; wamphulukisa, kwaze kwathi impumputhe nesimungulu sakhuluma, sabona. 23 Bonke abantu bamangala, bathi: “Lo akasiyo indodana kaDavide na?” 24 Kodwa abaFarisi sebezwile bathi: “Lo muntu akakhiphi amademoni ngoBelzebule kuphela, inkosi yamademoni.” 25 UJesu wayeyazi imicabango yabo, wathi kubo: “ Yilowo nalowo mbuso owahlukene phakathi uyachitheka; nalowo muzi noma indlu eyahlukene phakathi ayiyikuma. 26 Uma uSathane ekhipha uSathane, wahlukene phakathi; umbuso wakhe uyakuma kanjani-ke? 27 Uma mina ngikhipha amademoni ngoBelzebule, abantwana benu bawakhipha ngobani na? Ngakho-ke bona bayakuba ngabahluleli benu. 28 Kodwa uma ngikhipha amademoni ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu, umbuso kaNkulunkulu usufikile kini. 29 Noma umuntu angangena kanjani endlini yendoda enamandla, aphange impahla yayo, uma engabophi kuqala indoda enamandla, abese ephanga indlu yayo? Isitha esahlwanyela imbewu yiDeveli; ukuvuna kungukuphela kwezwe; nabavuni yizingelosi. Mathewu 13:39 Bheka, kwavela owesifazane waseKhanani evela kuleyo ndawo, wakhala kuye, wathi: “Ngihawukele, Nkosi, Ndodana kaDavide; indodakazi yami ihlushwa kakhulu yidemoni.” Mathewu 15:22 Kodwa waphenduka, wathi kuPetru: “ Suka emva kwami, Sathane; uyisikhubekiso kimi, ngokuba awucabangi ngezinto zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa ezabantu.” Mathewu 16:23

UJesu wamkhuza idemoni, laphuma kuye; umntwana waphulukiswa kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. Mathewu 17:18 Khona-ke uyothi nakubo abangakwesobunxele: “Sukani kimi nina baqalekisiweyo, niye emlilweni ophakade, olungiselelwe uDeveli nezingelosi zakhe.” Mathewu 25:41 Wayelapho ehlane izinsuku ezingamashumi amane, elingwa nguSathane; wayekanye nezilwane zasendle; izingelosi zamkhonza. UMarku 1:13 Kwathi kusihlwa, lapho ilanga selishonile, baletha kuye bonke abagulayo nababenamademoni. Waphulukisa abaningi ababegula izifo eziningi, wakhipha amademoni amaningi; akavumelanga amademoni ukuba akhulume, ngokuba ayemazi. Washumayela emasinagogeni abo kulo lonke iGalile, ekhipha amademoni. UMarku 1:32 , 34, 39 Futhi babe namandla okuphulukisa izifo, nokukhipha amademoni. Ababhali abehla bevela eJerusalema bathi: “UnoBelzebule, futhi ukhipha amademoni ngombusi wamademoni.” Wayesebabiza, wathi kubo ngemifanekiso: “ USathane angamkhipha kanjani uSathane na?” Futhi uma uSathane ezivukela yena, ahlukane, akanakuma, kodwa uyaphela. UMarku 3:15 , 22 -23, 26 Laba yilabo abaseceleni kwendlela, lapho kuhlwanyelwa khona izwi; kodwa lapho sebelizwile, uSathane uyafika masinyane, alisuse izwi elihlwanyelwe ezinhliziyweni zabo. UMarku 4:15 UMarku 5:1-20 1 Bafika ngaphesheya kolwandle, ezweni lamaGerasa. 2 Esephumile emkhunjini, kwahlangana naye masinyane umuntu ovela emathuneni onomoya ongcolileyo, 3 Wayehlala emathuneni; kwakungekho muntu owayengambopha, ngisho nangazo zonke izibopho; 4 ngokuba wayeboshwe kaningi ngezibopho nangamaketanga, kepha amaketanga ayeqanyulwa nguye, nezibopho zazephulwa; kwakungekho muntu owayengamthambisi. 5 Njalo, ubusuku nemini, wayesezintabeni nasemathuneni, ekhala, ezisika ngamatshe. 6 Kodwa lapho ebona uJesu ekude, wagijima wamkhothamela, 7 Wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: “Nginamsebenzi muni nawe Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngikufungisa uNkulunkulu ukuba ungangihluphi.” 8 Ngoba wathi kuye: Phuma endodeni, moya ongcolileyo. 9 Wambuza wathi: “ Ungubani igama lakho?” Waphendula wathi: “Igama lami nginguLegiyoni, ngokuba sibaningi.” 10 Wamncenga kakhulu ukuba angabaxoshi ezweni. 11 Kwakukhona lapho eduze kwezintaba umhlambi omkhulu wezingulube uklabile. 12 Amademoni onke amncenga, athi: “Sithumele ezingulubeni, ukuze singene kuzo.” 13 UJesu wabavumela masinyane. Omoya abangcolileyo baphuma, bangena ezingulubeni; umhlambi wagijimela phansi eweni, wangena elwandle, cishe izinkulungwane ezimbili; waminza olwandle. 14 Labo ababelusa izingulube babaleka, bayabika emzini nasemaphandleni, baphuma ukuyobona ukuthi kwenzenjani. 15 Bafika kuJesu, bambona owayekhwelwe ngamademoni, owayenebutho, ehlezi, embethe, ephilile engqondweni; besaba. 16 Labo abakubonayo babatshela ukuthi kwenzeke kanjani kowayekhwelwe ngamademoni, kanye nangezingulube. 17 Base beqala ukumncenga ukuba asuke emikhawulweni yakubo. 18 Kwathi esengene emkhunjini, lowo owayekhwelwe ngamadimoni wamncenga ukuba abe naye.

19 Kodwa uJesu kamvumelanga, kodwa wathi kuye: Hamba uye ekhaya kubangane bakho, ubatshele ukuthi iNkosi ikwenzele izinto ezinkulu kangakanani, yathi ikuhawukele. 20 Wahamba, waqala ukumemezela eDekapholi ukuthi uJesu wayemenzeleni izinto ezinkulu; bonke abantu bamangala. Bakhipha amademoni amaningi, bagcoba abagulayo abaningi ngamafutha, babaphulukisa. UMarku 6:13 UMarku 7:2 4-30 24 Wasuka lapho, waya emikhawulweni yaseTire naseSidoni, wangena endlini, engafuni ukuba kwazi muntu; kodwa wayengenakucasha. 25 Owesifazane othile, onendodakazi yakhe encane enomoya ongcolileyo, wezwa ngaye, weza wawa phansi ezinyaweni zakhe. 26 Lona wesifazane wayengumGreki, engumSirofenike ngokuzalwa; wamncenga ukuba akhiphe idemoni endodakazini yakhe. 27 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: “ Ake kusuthe abantwana kuqala; ngokuba akukuhle ukuthatha isinkwa sabantwana, usiphonse ezinjeni.” 28 Waphendula wathi kuye: “Yebo, Nkosi; kepha nezinja eziphansi kwetafula zidla imvuthuluka yabantwana.” 29 Wathi kuye: “ Ngenxa yalokhu kusho, hamba; idemoni seliphumile endodakazini yakho.” 30 Wafika endlini yakhe, wafumana idemoni liphumile, indodakazi yakhe ilele embhedeni. Kodwa esephendukile wabheka abafundi bakhe, wamkhuza uPetru, wathi: “ Suka emva kwami, Sathane; ngokuba awucabangi ngezinto zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa ezabantu.” UMarku 8:33 UJohane wamphendula wathi: “Mfundisi, sabona umuntu ekhipha amademoni ngegama lakho, engasilandeli; samnqabela ngokuba engasilandeli.” UMarku 9:38 UJesu esevukile ekuseni kakhulu ngosuku lokuqala lwesonto, wabonakala kuqala kuMariya Magdalena, ayekhiphe kuye amademoni ayisikhombisa. Lezi zibonakaliso ziyakubalandela abakholwayo; ngegama lami bayakukhipha amademoni, bakhulume ngezilimi ezintsha; UMarku 16:9 , 17 ULuka 4:1-13 1 UJesu egcwele uMoya oNgcwele wabuya eJordani, waholelwa nguMoya ehlane, 2 Elingwa nguDeveli izinsuku ezingamashumi amane. Ngalezo zinsuku akadlanga lutho; kwathi seziphelile, walamba. 3 UDeveli wathi kuye: “Uma uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, yisho kuleli tshe ukuba libe yisinkwa.” 4 UJesu wamphendula wathi: “ Kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Umuntu akayikuphila ngesinkwa sodwa, kodwa ngamazwi onke kaNkulunkulu.’ 5 UDeveli wamyisa entabeni ende, wambonisa imibuso yonke yezwe ngesikhashanyana. 6 UDeveli wathi kuye: “Ngizokunika lonke leli gunya kanye nenkazimulo yalo, ngoba linikwe mina, futhi ngilinika noma ubani engithanda ukumnika lona.” 7 Ngakho-ke wena uma ukhuleka kimi, konke kuzakuba ngokwakho. 8 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: “ Suka emva kwami, Sathane, ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Wokhuleka eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, umkhonze yena yedwa.’ 9 Wamyisa eJerusalema, wammisa esiqongweni sethempeli, wathi kuye: “Uma uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ziphonse phansi lapha.” 10 Ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uzakuyala izingilosi zakhe ngawe, ukuthi zikulondoloze; 11 Futhi bazakuthwala ngezandla zabo, funa unyawo lwakho luqhumuke etsheni.

Hlalani niqaphile, niqaphele; isitha senu, uSathane, siyahamba njengengonyama ebhongayo, sifuna esingamgwinya; 1 Petru 5:8
12 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: “ Kuthiwa: ‘Ungayilingi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.’ 13 UDeveli eseqedile ukulinga konke, wasuka kuye isikhashana. Kwakukhona esinagogeni umuntu owayenomoya wedemoni elingcolileyo, wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, uJesu wamkhuza, wathi: “ Thula, uphume kuye.” Idemoni lamphonsa phakathi, laphuma kuye, alizange limlimaze. Luka 4:33,35 Kwaphuma namademoni kwabaningi, ememeza ethi: “Wena unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu.” Wabakhuza, akabavumelanga ukuba bakhulume, ngokuba babazi ukuthi unguKristu. Luka 4:41 Ngokuba uJohane uMbhapathizi ufikile engadli sinkwa, engaphuzi wayini; nithi-ke, Unedemoni. Luka 7:33 Nabesifazane abathile ababephulukiswe emimoyeni emibi nasezifweni, uMariya obizwa ngokuthi uMagdalena, okwaphuma kuye amademoni ayisikhombisa, Luka 8:2 Labo abasendleleni yilabo abezwayo, bese kufika uDeveli, alisuse izwi ezinhliziyweni zabo, ukuze bangakholwa, basindiswe. Luka 8:12 ULuka 8:26-39 26 Bafika ezweni lamaGadarene, elibhekene neGalile. 27 Esephumele ezweni, kwahlangana naye indoda ethile evela emzini, eyayinamademoni isikhathi eside, ingagqoki zingubo, ingahlali endlini, kodwa emathuneni. 28 Kwathi embona uJesu, wamemeza, wawa phansi phambi kwakhe, wathi ngezwi elikhulu: “Nginamsebenzi muni nawe Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngiyakuncenga, ungangihluphi.” 29 (Ngoba wayelaye umoya ongcolileyo ukuthi uphume endodeni. Ngoba wawumbambe kaningi; waboshwa ngamaketanga nangamaketanga; wagqabula izibopho, waqhutshelwa yidemoni ehlane.) 30 UJesu wambuza wathi: “ Ungubani igama lakho?” Wathi: “NginguLegiyoni,” ngokuba amademoni amaningi ayengene kuye. 31 Bamncenga ukuba angabayali ukuba baye egodini elijulile. 32 Kwakukhona lapho umhlambi wezingulube eziningi ziklabile entabeni; zamncenga ukuba azivumele zingene kuzo. Wazivumela. 33 Amademoni aphuma endodeni, angena ezingulubeni; umhlambi wagijimela phansi eweni, wangena echibini, waminza. 34 Kwathi abelusi bezinkomo bebona okwenzekileyo, babaleka, bayabika emzini nasemaphandleni. 35 Base bephuma ukuyobona okwenzekileyo; beza kuJesu, bamthola umuntu okwakuphume kuye amademoni ehlezi ezinyaweni zikaJesu, embethe, ephilile engqondweni; base besaba. 36 Labo abakubonayo babatshela ukuthi lowo owayekhwelwe ngamadimoni uphiliswe kanjani. 37 Ngakho-ke lonke isixuku sezwe lamaGerasa samncenga ukuba asuke kubo, ngokuba babebanjwe ukwesaba okukhulu; wakhwela emkhunjini, wabuya futhi. 38 Indoda okwakuphume kuyo amademoni yamncenga ukuba abe naye; kodwa uJesu wayimukisa, ethi: 39 Buyela endlini yakho, ubike ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukwenzele izinto ezinkulu kangakanani.” Wahamba, wamemezela kulo lonke idolobha ukuthi uJesu ukwenzile kuye izinto ezinkulu kangakanani. Wabe esebiza abafundi bakhe abayishumi nambili, wabanika amandla negunya phezu kwamademoni onke, nokuphulukisa izifo. Luka 9:1

Kwathi esasondela, idemoni lamphonsa phansi, lamhlukumeza kakhulu. UJesu wamkhuza umoya ongcolileyo, wamphulukisa umntwana, wambuyisela kuyise. Luka 9:42 UJohane waphendula wathi: “Nkosi, sibone umuntu ekhipha amademoni ngegama lakho, samnqabela ngokuba engalandeli nathi.” UJesu wathi kuye: “ Ningamnqabeli, ngokuba ongamelene nathi ungakithi.” Luka 9:49-50 Babuya abangamashumi ayisikhombisa bejabula, bathi: “Nkosi, namademoni ayasithobela ngegama lakho.” Wathi kubo: “ Ngibonile uSathane ewa ezulwini njengombani.” ULuka 10:17-18 ULuka 11:14-20 14 Wayekhipha idemoni, laliyisimungulu. Kwathi lapho idemoni seliphumile, isimungulu sakhuluma, abantu bamangala. 15 Kodwa abanye kubo bathi: Ukhipha amademoni ngoBelzebule inkosi yamademoni. 16 Abanye bemlinga, bafuna kuye isibonakaliso esivela ezulwini. 17 Kodwa yena, eyazi imicabango yabo, wathi kubo: “ Yilowo nalowo mbuso owahlukene phakathi kwawo uyachitheka, nendlu eyahlukene phakathi kwendlu iyawa.” 18 Uma noSathane ehlukene yedwa, umbuso wakhe uyakuma kanjani na? Ngokuba nithi ngikhipha amademoni ngoBelzebule. 19 Uma mina ngikhipha amademoni ngoBelzebule, amadodana enu awakhipha ngobani na? Ngakhoke wona ayakuba ngabahluleli benu. 20 Kodwa uma ngikhipha amademoni ngomunwe kaNkulunkulu, umbuso kaNkulunkulu usufikile kini. Futhi lona wesifazane, oyindodakazi ka-Abrahama, uSathane ambophe, bhekani, iminyaka eyishumi nesishiyagalombili, akufanele yini akhululwe kulesi sibopho ngosuku lwesabatha? ULuka 13:16 Wathi kubo: “ Hambani nitshele leyo mpungushe ukuthi: ‘Bheka, ngikhipha amademoni, ngenza abagulayo namuhla nakusasa, kuthi ngosuku lwesithathu ngipheleliswe. ’ Luka 13:32 USathane wangena kuJuda obizwa ngokuthi u-Iskariyothe, owayengomunye wabayishumi nambili. ULuka 22:3 INkosi yathi: “ Simoni, Simoni, bheka, uSathane unifunile ukuba anihlunge njengokolweni; kepha ngikunxusele ukuba ukukholwa kwakho kungapheli; wena-ke, nxa usuphendukile, uqinise abafowenu.” Luka 22: 31-32 UJesu wabaphendula wathi: “ Anginikhethanga nina abayishumi nambili, kanti omunye kini ungudeveli na?” Johane 6:70 Isixuku saphendula sathi: “Unedemoni; ngubani ofuna ukukubulala na?” Johane 7:20 Nina ningabakayihlo uDeveli, futhi nithanda ukwenza izinkanuko zikayihlo. Wayengumbulali kwasekuqaleni, futhi akazange ahlale eqinisweni, ngoba iqiniso alikho kuye. Lapho ekhuluma amanga, ukhuluma okungokwakhe, ngoba ungumqambimanga noyise wawo. Johane 8:44 AmaJuda aphendula athi kuye: “Asisho kahle yini ukuthi ungumSamariya nokuthi unedemoni?” UJesu waphendula wathi: “ Anginademoni, kodwa ngidumisa uBaba; nina-ke niyangihlazisa.” Johane 8:48-49

AmaJuda athi kuye: “Manje sesiyazi ukuthi unedemoni. U-Abrahama ufile, nabaprofethi; wena uthi: ‘Uma umuntu egcina izwi lami, akasoze akuzwa ukufa.’ Johane 8:52 Abaningi kubo bathi: “Unedemoni, uyahlanya; nimlalelelani na?” Abanye bathi: “Lawa akusiwo amazwi omuntu onedemoni. Idemoni lingavula amehlo ezimpumputhe na?” Johane 10:20-21 13:2 Sekuphelile isidlo sakusihlwa, uDeveli esefake enhliziyweni kaJuda Iskariyothe, indodana kaSimoni, ukuba amkhaphele; Ngemva kwesinkwa uSathane wangena kuye. UJesu wathi kuye: “ Lokho okwenzayo, kwenze masinyane.” Johane 13:27 Kodwa uPetru wathi: “Ananiya, kungani uSathane egcwalise inhliziyo yakho ukuba uqambe amanga kuMoya oNgcwele, futhi ugcine ingxenye yentengo yezwe?” IzEnzo 5:3 Indlela uNkulunkulu amgcoba ngayo uJesu waseNazaretha ngoMoya oNgcwele nangamandla: owahamba enza okuhle, ephulukisa bonke abacindezelwe nguDeveli, ngokuba uNkulunkulu wayenaye. IzEnzo 10:38 Wathi: “O, ogcwele ubuqili bonke nobubi bonke, wena ndodana kaDeveli, wena sitha sokulunga konke, awuyikuyeka yini ukuphambukisa izindlela eziqondile zeNkosi na?” IzEnzo 13:10 Ukuvula amehlo abo, nokubaguqula ebumnyameni baye ekukhanyeni, nasekubuseni kukaSathane baye kuNkulunkulu, ukuze bamukele ukuthethelelwa kwezono, nefa phakathi kwabangcwelisiwe ngokukholwa kimi. IzEnzo 26:18
Izincwadi UNkulunkulu wokuthula uzomchoboza uSathane phansi kwezinyawo zenu maduze. Umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu mawube nani. Amen. KwabaseRoma 16:20 Ukumnikela onjalo kuSathane, ukuze inyama ibhujiswe, ukuze umoya usindiswe ngosuku lweNkosi uJesu. 1 Korinte 5:5 Ningaphambani, ngaphandle kokuba nivumelene okwesikhashana, ukuze nizinikele ekuzileni nasekuthandazeni; nibuye nihlangane, ukuze uSathane anganilingi ngenxa yokungakwazi kwenu ukuzibamba. 1 KwabaseKhorinte 7:5 Kodwa ngithi, lokho okuhlatshwa ngabezizwe, bakuhlabela amademoni, hhayi uNkulunkulu: futhi angifuni ukuba nibe nenhlanganyelo namademoni. Aninakuphuza indebe yeNkosi kanye nendebe yamademoni; aninakuhlanganyela etafuleni leNkosi kanye netafula lamademoni. 1 Korinte 10:20-21 funa uSathane asithole inzuzo; ngokuba asibona abangawazi amacebo akhe. 2 KwabaseKhorinte 2:11 Ngoba abanjalo bangabaphostoli bamanga, izisebenzi ezikhohlisayo, beziguqula abaphostoli bakaKristu. Futhi akumangalisi, ngoba uSathane uqobo uziguqula ingelosi yokukhanya. 2 KwabaseKhorinte 11: 13-14

Futhi ukuze ngingaphakanyiswa kakhulu ngenxa yobuningi bezambulo, nganikwa iva enyameni, isithunywa sikaSathane ukuba singishaye, ukuze ngingaphakanyiswa kakhulu. 2 KwabaseKhorinte 12:7 Futhi ningamniki uSathane indawo. Kwabase-Efesu 4:27 Hlomani izikhali zonke zikaNkulunkulu, ukuze nibe namandla okumelana namaqhinga kaSathane. Kwabase-Efesu 6:11 Ngakho-ke besifisa ukuza kini, mina Pawulu, kanye nakabili, kodwa uSathane wasivimbela. 1 Thesalonika 2:18 Khona-ke lowo omubi uyakwambulwa, iNkosi eyakumqeda ngomoya womlomo wayo, imbhubhise ngokubonakala kokufika kwayo: lowo okufika kwakhe kungokokusebenza kukaSathane ngawo onke amandla nezibonakaliso nezimangaliso zamanga, nangayo yonke inkohliso yokungalungi kwababhubhayo, ngokuba abalwamukelanga uthando lweqiniso, ukuze basindiswe. 2 Thesalonika 2: 8-10 Kubo oHimenewu no-Aleksandru engibanikele kuSathane, ukuze bafunde ukungahlambalazi. 1 Thimothewu 1:20 Angabi umuntu osaqalayo, funa azikhukhumeze aze awele ekwahlulelweni nguDeveli. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kumelwe abe nobufakazi obuhle ngabangaphandle, funa awele esihlambeni nasesihibeni sikaDeveli. 1 Thimothewu 3:6-7 UMoya usho ngokusobala ukuthi ngezikhathi zokugcina abanye bayakuhlubuka ekukholweni, belalela imimoya ekhohlisayo nezimfundiso zamademoni, 1 Thimothewu 4:1 Ngoba abanye sebephendukele kuSathane. 1 Thimothewu 5:15 Futhi ukuze baphunyuke ogibeni lukaDeveli, ababanjwe nguye ngentando yakhe. 2 Thimothewu 2:26 Ngakho-ke njengokuba abantwana behlanganyela igazi nenyama, naye uqobo wahlanganyela kukho lokho, ukuze ngokufa ambhubhise lowo owayenamandla okufa, okungukuthi uDeveli; Hebheru 2:14 Uyakholwa ukuthi kukhona uNkulunkulu oyedwa; wenza kahle; namademoni ayakholwa, athuthumele. Jakobe 2:19 Lokhu kuhlakanipha akuveli phezulu, kodwa kungokwasemhlabeni, okwemvelo, okobudemoni. Jakobe 3:15 Ngakho-ke thobelani uNkulunkulu, nimelane noDeveli, khona uyakunibalekela. Jakobe 4:7 Hlalani niqaphile, niqaphele; isitha senu, uSathane, siyahamba njengengonyama ebhongayo, sifuna esingamgwinya; 1 Petru 5:8 Lowo owenza isono ungokaDeveli, ngokuba uDeveli uyona kwasekuqaleni. Ngenxa yalokhu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu yabonakaliswa, ukuze ibhubhise imisebenzi kaDeveli. Ngalokhu abantwana

bakaNkulunkulu bayabonakala, nabantwana bakaDeveli; lowo ongenzi ukulunga akasiye okaNkulunkulu, nalowo ongamthandi umfowabo. 1 Johane 3:8,10 Kodwa uMikayeli, ingelosi enkulu, lapho ephikisana noDeveli, ephikisana ngesidumbu sikaMose, akazange abe nesibindi sokummangalela ngokumhlambalaza, kodwa wathi: “INkosi mayikukhuze.” UJuda 1:9
IsAmbulo Ngiyazi imisebenzi yakho, nokuhlupheka kwakho, nobumpofu bakho, (kepha ucebile) futhi ngiyazi ukuhlambalaza kwalabo abathi bangamaJuda, kanti bengesiwo, kodwa beyisinagoge likaSathane. Ungesabi lokho ozakuhlupheka ngakho; bheka, uDeveli uzakuphonsa abanye kini etilongweni, ukuze nilingwe; futhi nizoba nokuhlupheka izinsuku eziyishumi; thembeka kuze kube sekufeni, futhi ngizokunika umqhele wokuphila. IsAmbulo 2:9-10 Ngiyazi imisebenzi yakho, nalapho uhlala khona, lapho kukhona isihlalo sobukhosi sikaSathane; futhi ubambelele egameni lami, awuzange uphike ukholo lwami, ngisho nasemihleni lapho uAntipase wayengumfel’ ukholo wami othembekile, owabulawa phakathi kwenu, lapho uSathane ehlala khona. IsAmbulo 2:13 Kepha ngithi kini, nakwabanye abaseThiyathira, bonke abangenayo le mfundiso, nabangazi okujulile kukaSathane, njengoba besho: Angiyikunithwesa omunye umthwalo. IsAmbulo 2:24 Bheka, ngiyakubenza babe yisinagoge likaSathane, abathi bangamaJuda bengesiwo, kodwa beqamba amanga; bheka, ngiyakubenza beze bakhuleke phambi kwezinyawo zakho, bazi ukuthi ngikuthandile. IsAmbulo 3:9 Futhi babenenkosi phezu kwabo, ingelosi yomgodi ongenamkhawulo, egama layo ngesiHebheru lingu-Abadoni, kodwa ngesiGreki igama layo lingu-Apholiyoni. IsAmbulo 9:11 Kepha abanye abantu abangabulawanga yilezi zinhlupho abaphendukanga emisebenzini yezandla zabo, ukuba bangakhulekeli amademoni, nezithombe zegolide, nezesiliva, nezethusi, nezetshe, nezomuthi: ezingenakubona, nezezwa, nezehamba: IsAmbulo 9:20 Udrako omkhulu waphonswa phansi, inyoka endala, ebizwa ngokuthi uDeveli noSathane, odukisa umhlaba wonke; waphonswa phansi emhlabeni, nezingelosi zakhe zaphonswa kanye naye. Ngakhoke thokozani nina mazulu, nani enihlala kuwo. Maye kwabakhileyo emhlabeni nasolwandle! Ngokuba uDeveli wehlele kini enolaka olukhulu, ngokuba uyazi ukuthi unesikhathi esifushane. IsAmbulo 12:9,12 Ngoba bangomoya bamademoni, abenza izimangaliso, abaphuma beya emakhosini omhlaba nawomhlaba wonke, ukuze bababuthele empini yosuku olukhulu lukaNkulunkulu uMninimandla onke. IsAmbulo 16:14 Yamemeza ngezwi elinamandla, yathi: “IBabiloni elikhulu liwile, liwile, seliphenduke indawo yokuhlala yamademoni, nendawo yokubopha yonke imimoya engcolileyo, nendawo yokubopha yonke izinyoni ezingcolile nezizondwayo.” IsAmbulo 18:2 Yambamba udrako, inyoka endala, onguDeveli noSathane, yambopha iminyaka eyinkulungwane, Futhi lapho iminyaka eyinkulungwane isiphelile, uSathane uyokhululwa etilongweni lakhe, UDeveli 12

owabadukisayo waphonswa echibini lomlilo nesibabule, lapho kukhona khona isilo nomprofethi wamanga, futhi bayohlushwa imini nobusuku kuze kube phakade naphakade. IsAmbulo 20:2 , 7 , 10
I-Apocrypha Wathi kuye, Uma sithinta inhliziyo nesibindi, uma idemoni noma umoya omubi uphazamisa noma ubani, kumelwe sibheme phambi kwendoda noma owesifazane, futhi iqembu ngeke lisakhathazeka. Futhi idemoni lizolinuka, libaleke, lingaphinde libuye futhi: kodwa lapho nifika kuye, vukani nobabili, nithandaze kuNkulunkulu onesihe, ozoba nesihawu kini, anisindise: ningesabi, ngoba umiselwe nina kusukela ekuqaleni; futhi nizomlondoloza, futhi uzohamba nani. Ngaphezu kwalokho ngicabanga ukuthi uzokuzalela abantwana. Manje lapho uTobias esezwile lezi zinto, wamthanda, futhi inhliziyo yakhe yanamathela kuye. Tobit 6:7,17 Nokho, ngenxa yomona kadeveli kwafika ukufa ezweni, futhi labo ababambelela ohlangothini lwakhe bayakuthola. Ukuhlakanipha kukaSolomoni 2:24 Uma umuntu ongemubi ethuka uSathane, uthuka umphefumulo wakhe. UmShumayeli 21:27 Ngoba nimthukuthelisile owanidalayo ngokuhlabela amademoni, hhayi uNkulunkulu. Ngoba umlilo uzofika phezu kwakhe kusukela kuPhakade, ohlala njalo; futhi uzohlala amademoni isikhathi eside. UBharuki 4:7,35
