Okusanda kutshalwa
“Ninjengomuthi otshalwe omusha ngasemifuleni yamanzi, othela isithelo sawo ngesikhathi sawo, namaqabunga awo angabuni” ( IHubo 1:3 )
Abalimi bengadi kwesinye isikhathi bahambisa isitshalo endaweni engcono. Lapho isesitsheni, ingahanjiswa kalula ukuze ithole ukukhanya kwelanga noma umthunzi owengeziwe, noma yini edingwa isitshalo. Mhlawumbe lesi sitshalo sizombiwa ngokuphelele ngezimpande futhi sitshalwe kabusha lapho singakhula kangcono khona.
Izinguqulo eziningi zeHubo 1:3 zisebenzisa igama elithi tshalwa. Nokho, kuyi- Common English Bible, igama elithi “kutshalwe kabusha” lisetshenziswe. Umqondo uwukuthi labo abajabulela ukufundisa kukaNkulunkulu, njengeqembu noma ngabanye, baziphatha njengomuthi otshalwe kabusha. Inguqulo yesiNgisi yeThe Message ikubeka ngalendlela: “Niyisihlahla esisanda kutshalwa e-Edene, esithela izithelo ezintsha inyanga ngayinye, amahlamvu aso awabuni, futhi esihlala siqhakaza.
NgesiHebheru sokuqala kunesenzo esithi "shatal" esisho "ukufaka", "ukufakelwa kabusha". Ngamanye amazwi, isihlahla siyasuswa lapho sasikhona siyiswe endaweni entsha ukuze siphinde siqhakaze futhi sithele izithelo ezengeziwe. Kufika emqondweni ukuthi uKrestu uthini kuJohane 15:16: “Aningikhethanga nina, kodwa mina nginikhethile, nganimisa ukuba nihambe nithele izithelo, izithelo zenu zihlale”.
Ukuhambisana kuyamangaza. UJesu wasikhethela ukuthela. Kodwa ukuze sikhule, kwakudingeka siqhubekele phambili emoyeni. UPawulu uthatha lo mqondo ngokuchaza ukuthi amakholwa athela izithelo ngoba aphila futhi ahamba emoyeni asekelwe kuwo. “Njengoba namamukela uKristu Jesu iNkosi, hambani kuye, nigxilile, nakhiwe kuye, niqinisiwe ekukholweni, njengalokho nafundiswa, nivame ukubonga” (Kolose 2:7).
umkhuleko
Ngiyabonga, Baba, ngokusisusa endaweni yokuqala endala saya empilweni entsha, esimiswe ngokuqinile kuJesu futhi esivikelekile kuye, egameni lakhe siyathandaza. Amen.
