ISINGENISO 

Zine izinto ezincane emhlabeni, 

kepha ezihlakaniphe kakhulu: 

izintuthwane ziyisizwe esingenamandla, 

kepha zikwazi ukuzibekela ukudla kwazo ehlobo; 

izimbila ziyisizwe esibuthakathaka, 

kepha zikwazi ukwakha izindlu zazo emadwaleni; 

izinkumbi azinankosi, 

kepha ziphuma zonke ngamaviyo; 

isibankwa ungasibamba ngesandla, 

kepha sitholakala ngisho ezindlini zamakhosi. – Izaga 30:24–28 

Lezizifundo zebhayibheli kanye nezinkonzo zilungiselelwe ukusetshenziswa 

emabandleni aseThekwini ngesikhathi somkhosi wobulungiswa 

(Social Justice Season) ngenyanga ka Agasti ku 2003. Nokho 

lezizifundo zikulungele ukusetshenziswa yinoma yiliphi iqembu 

elifisa ukwenza okuthile ngezinkinga zemvelo. Lokhu lingakwenza 

ligxile okholweni nokulalela ukuthi uNkulunkulu uliholela ukuba 

lenzeni. 

Isiqubulo salomkhosi sisikhumbuza ukuthi ngempela lomhlaba 

esihleli kuwo asizakhelanga wona kepha uyisipho esivela kuMdali. 

Leli yikhaya lethu, okungukuphela kwalo. 

Esahlukweni sokuqala sizogxila siveze ubuhle, izinhlobonhlobo 

zendalo kanye nezimangaliso zayo. Isisekelo salezizihloko kuzobe 

kungukholo lwethu lobuKhristu. 

Esahlukweni sesibili sizovumbulula ezinye zezinselelo umhlaba 

obhekene nazo, ezingacekela phansi ubuhle bendalo kaNkulunkulu. 

Sizohlola imikhakha ethile efana nokwenyuka kwezinga lokushisa 

emhlabeni, ukungcoliseka kwamanzi nezinye izindlela abantu abacekela 

ngazo phansi balimaze imvelo. Kuliqiniso ukuthi abanye 

abantu abaqondi ngengozi abayenzayo endalweni. Nokho abaningi 

bazi kahle kepha ngenxa yomona kwezomnotho, ukuphangelana 

ngezikhundla noma uqondo wokuthi “anginandaba”, bayaqhubeka 

nokucekela phansi imvelo. 

Isahluko sesithathu sincike esiqubulweni esithi “lapho ucabanga, 

bhekelela izwe lonke, kepha uma wenza okuthile, yenze izinhlelo 

zendawo yangakini”. Sizobheka izihloko ezithile eziyinselelo ngokwezindawo 

zethu bese sibheka ukuthi ngabe umuntu ngamunye

ubophezeleke kanjani kwimvelo kusukela ezintweni ezincane kuya 

kwezinkulu. 

Esahlukweni sokugcina sizohlolisisa izindlela ezingabangcono 

ukuzisebenzisa ekuzibophezeleni nokubhekana nalezizinkinga ebesizindla 

ngazo ezahlukweni ezintathu ezedlule. Lokhu kuzosiza ekubhekaneni 

nezinkinga zemiphakathi yethu ngempumelelo. 

Lezizifundo zebhayibheli nezinkonzo zibandakanya ukuxoxisana 

kwamalungu eqembu ngokolwazi lwawo, ukubonisana ngemininingwane 

ewubufakazi bezinto ezenzekayo, ukucobelelana ngezindatshana 

abazaziyo, ukwabelana ngezahluko zebhayibheli, ukucobelelana 

ngemibhalo yamanye amaKrestu. Kanti akugcini lapho amalungu 

anikwa nenselelo yokwenza okuthile ngezinkinga akade exoxisana 

ngazo. 

Kukhona nezibonelo zezindlela ezinokusetshenziswa ukugubha 

izinkonzo amabandleni ukusiza ukugqamisa izinto zemvelo. 

Emuva kwesahluko sokugcina, sizothola eminye imininingwane 

nemibono eyengeziwe ngezinto zemvelo. Lemininingwane eyisengezo 

inokusetshenziswa nanoma nini ngenkathi yalomkhosi wobulungiswa 

kulesisiqubulo esithi: “Lomhlaba: Yikhaya lethu, yisipho esivela 

kumdali”. 

Kunezinye izibonelo zokugujwa kwezinkonzo ezifakwe njengesengezo 

ukuze zisetshenziswe yibandla eliphelele noma ngamaqembu 

amancane agxile kulesisiqubulo salomkhosi.

AMAZWI ABHEKISWE KUBAHOLI BAMAQEMBU 

Uma uhola iqembu elisha, kubalulekile ukuthi uchithe isikhashana 

emhlanganweni wokuqala usiza amalungu eqembu ukuthi azane. 

Lapho umema abantu eqenjini, ubacele baphathe amabhukwana 

abo okubhala amaphuzu abalulekile, amapeni kanye namabhayibheli. 

Ukufunda indima yebhayibheli noma isahluko esithathwe ezincwadini 

ezahlukene kuvame ukunikeza ulwazi olusha. 

Isahluko ngasinye sihlelelwe ukuthatha amahora amabili. Izikhathi 

ezibekiwe zengxenye ngayinye yezahluko, zizoya ngokuthi 

iqembu lingakanani nokuthi lidinga isikhathi esingakanani. 

Izigaba zesahluko ngasinye zimiselwe ukusetshenziswa njengezibonelo 

zezingxoxo. Amaqembu awalindelekile ukuthi azenze zonke 

izigaba ngobunjalo bazo. Ibhukwana leli lizosetshenziswa njengesisekelo 

sokwelekelela amabandla ukuveza eyawo imibono. 

Indlela yokukhuthaza ukuthi wonke umuntu abambe iqhaza ezingxoxweni, 

kungaba ukuthi amaqembu angabi nabantu abangaphezu 

kwesikhombisa. Uma iqembu lakho linabantu abangu 13, kungabangcono 

ulehlukanise amaqenjana amancane. 

Khuthaza wonke umuntu ukuthi akhulume ngokuthi ubajwayeze 

ukuthi baxoxisane emaqenjini amancane, babe ngababili noma ngabathathu. 

Azikho izimpendulo okuthiwa “ezifanele”. Njengoba umuntu 

ngamunye ebaluleke ngendlela yakhe yedwa, futhi ngamunye enolwazi 

olwehlukile, ngokunjalo nendlela aqonda ngayo ukholo lwakhe 

yehlukile. Ngakho ke: 

• Lalelisisa ngenhlonipho umuntu ngamunye. 

• Vumela bonke abantu ukuthi bakhulume ngalokho abafuna 

ukukusho, noma ngabe akukuphathi kahle noma ungavumelani 

nakho. 

• Amanye amaphuzu nemibono ingashuba kakhulu ize ithikameze 

imimoya yabanye abantu, zama ukwehlisa umoya, 

ukhuthaze iqembu ukubhekana nomsebenzi ophambi kwalo. 

• Yamukela imibono yabanye, uNkulunkulu angakumangaza 

ngemibono emisha.

UHLELO LWENKONZO 

Inkonzo iyisicongo lapho yonke imisebenzi yabantu bakaNkulunkulu 

ibhekiswe khona. Futhi ingumthombo lapho kugcwele khona amandla 

okomoya. Inkonzo yenza abantu bazizwele izimangaliso zika- 

Nkulunkulu, yenza bazwakalise ubunye babo kuJesu kanye nokujula 

ngomsebenzi wokusabalalisa umbuso kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni. 

“Kungabe angigcwalisanga izulu nomhlaba na?” Kusho iNkosi. 

(Jeremiya 23:24). Kungalesisizathu imvelo nendalo yonke kumqoka 

ekugujweni kwenkonzo. 

Ngesikhathi senkonzo abantu kufanele bakhohlwe yizo zonke 

izikhundla nezigaba zempilo. Okusemqoka enkonzweni ukuhlanganyela 

ngokuphelele. UNkulunkulu akayidingi inkonzo, kepha ngabantu 

abayidingayo. Inkonzo kufanele yakhe ukuhlanganyela kwabantu 

noNkulunkulu, ukuhlanganyela omunye nomunye kanye 

nendalo kaNkulunkulu. Sifanelwe ukwakha isimo esamukela wonke 

umuntu. 

Kulezizinkonzo zalomkhosi, sifisa ukusiza abantu ukuthi bazihlanganise 

nendalo kaNkulunkulu, kanye nokuthi bamukele umsebenzi 

wabo wokuthunywa nguNkulunkulu wokuba yizinceku nezithunywa 

zendalo. Sibizelwe ukuhlonipha umhlaba. 

Kungasiza ukuthi iqembu noma amabili ayingxenye yalezizifundo 

acelwe ukusiza ekuhleleni izinkonzo zeSonto ngalinye elilandelayo, 

esebenzisa izibonelo zezinkonzo ezisekugcineni kwaleso naleso sahluko, 

noma eziyisengezo ekugcineni kwalelibhukwana, noma eyabo 

imibono ngokwambulelwa ulwazi ngendalo kaNkulunkulu kanye 

neqhaza labo kuyona. Izifundo zangamaSonto ezifakwe lapha zikulungele 

ukusetshenziswa ezinkonzweni kodwa ibandla lingaziqokela 

ezinye izifundo ezihambisana nesihloko salelo nalelo Sonto. Amaculo 

afakwe ekugcineni kwesahluko ngasinye ayizibonelo nje eningazisebenzisa 

ngesikhathi senkonzo.

UKUJULA NGOMCABANGO 

Ngamunye fundani futhi nizindle ngalemibuzo engezansi 

UJesu uvamise ukuchaza ngobuhle kanye nezimangaliso zemvelo 

lapho ekhuluma ngoNkulunkulu. Umzwilili awuwi ngaphandle 

kolwazi lukaBaba (Mathewu 10:29). Izimbali zasendle zembethe 

kangcono kunoSolomoni nobukhazikhazi bakhe (Mathewu 6:25-33). 

Imvula nelanga kuvela kuNkulunkulu (Mathewu 5:45). Umoya kanye 

namanzi kuphethwe nguNkulunkulu (Luka 8:22-25). 

Mhlawumbe singathola ingcebo enkulu yodumo lukaNkulunkulu 

ngezemvelo encwadini yamaHubo. Inkondlo ngayinye kulezi zama- 

Hubo, ineminyaka engaphezu kwezinkulungwane ezimbili ikhona, 

kanti sezibe umgogodla ekudumiseni uNkulunkulu emakhulwini 

eminyaka eyedlule. Lezizinkondlo ziwumongo wokudumisa emphakathini 

wamaJuda lapho zavela khona ngokunjalo nasemiphakathini 

yamaKrestu. Bheka amaHubo 104, akunikeza isithombe somhlaba 

ekwakhiweni kwawo: ubuhle bezintaba zawo, imihosha, imifula 

kanye nezilwandle. Yonke into inendawo yayo kanti okumilayo, izilwane 

kanye nabantu kwanelisekile. Akumangalisi ukumemeza 

komhlabeleli lapho ethi: “O Nkosi, uyababazeka umehluko owenzile, 

ngokuhlela zonke izinto ngokubuhlakani!” 

1. Zama ukubheka ukuxhumana phakathi kwalokhu okulandelayo: 

amanzi, umhlaba, umoya, izinyoni, izilwane kanye nabantu. Uma 

okunye kwakho kulimazeka kanzima, ngabe kukukhinyabeza 

kanjani okunye? 

2. Kungayiphi indlela ozibona uyingxenye, noma ungesiyona ingxenye 

yomhlaba? Cabangisisa ukuthi kungani kukanjalo. 

Eqenjini lilonke 

Xoxani ngalokho enikwaziyo okwenzeka endaweni yangakini ngaphansi 

kwaloludaba olungenhla.

INDATSHANA 

Ilungu leqembu linokufunda kakhulu indaba elandelayo. 

Bese kunikezwa imibuzo ekuqhubeni ingxoxo 

Busuku bumbe ngenyanga ka-Okthoba u-Clive wayehamba ehla ngomgwaqo 

ogudle ulwandle, uhambo lwakhe kwakungelona olobuhle. 

Wayevakashela umngani wakhe omkhulu owayegula kakhulu. 

Inyanga yayigcwele, u-Clive wezwa ukukhazimula kwayo kumupha 

ukuthula enhliziyweni yakhe. Umhlaba wawukhazimula; izihlahla 

namatshe kukuhle. Umoyana ohelezayo wawuqhamuka olwandle 

unephunga lomswakama. Lapho efika kumngani wakhe ogulayo 

wathola kuyena ukuthi naye wayebuzwa lobobuhle bangalobobusuku. 

Ngefasitela wayebona ukukhazimula okwakulethwa 

ukukhanya phezu kolwandle maqede kuthumele imisebe emhlophe 

phakathi kwezihlahla. Ngenkathi u-Clive ehlezi eceleni komngani 

wakhe ogulayo, kwabe sekuzwakala inyoni icula ekukhanyeni 

konyezi. Emuva kwezinyangana, umngani kaClive wathi kuyena, 

“Ngangicabanga ukuthi lobuya busuku babungobokugcina kimina. 

Kepha ngenkathi ngizwa umculo wenyoni ungena ngefasitela, 

kwangikhanyela ukuthi ngizokuba ngcono”. “Angikhulumi kakhulu 

ngezinto ezinjena, kepha, ngazizwela ukuthi bonke lobuya buhle 

kanye nokuthula kwakuluthando lukaNkulunkulu. Bonke ubuhle 

thina bantu esibuthokozela kakhulu nangokukhululeka ukwedlula

UKUJULA NGOMCABANGO 

Umuntu ngamunye akafunde futhi azindle ngalokhu 

okulandelayo 

Abantu kanyenendalo yonke kuxhumene kakhulu. Ulwazi lwezesayensi 

yesimanje selwenze okuningi ekwakheni kabusha umlando 

womhlaba – okubonakala kungumsebenzi osuqhubeke iminyaka 

eyizigidigidi; nokungumsebenzi odidiyela umhlaba, impilo kanye 

nabantu, sengathi kwakuyizahluko ezintathu zancwadi yinye. 

Umongameli we-Queen’s College e-Cambridge, eNgilandi, kanye 

nosomaqhuzu kwezolwazi lwezesayensi, u-John Polkinhorne usanda 

kuthola umklomelo wamadola ayisigidi ngolwazi lwakhe olujulile 

ngobudlelwane obuphakathi kwesayensi nezenkolo. Ebhala ngenqubo 

yokudalwa komhlaba, u-Polkinhorne uphawula ukuthi uNkulunkulu 

ukhona kuzo zonke izinto ezisemhlabeni. “Umoya ka- 

Nkulunkulu ongashabalali ukhona ezintweni zonke” (Wisdom-iZazi 

12:1 etholakala ebhayibhelini elibhalwe ukuthi ngelaseJerusalema). 

Sinokubona futhi lokhu kuxhumana ehubeni elikhulu labaseKolose. 

Akukona nje kuphela ukuthi zonke izinto zidalwe ngoJesu, kepha 

zonke izinto kufanele zibuyisane ngaye. NguKristu kuphela: uyikho 

konke futhi usezintweni zonke (abaseKolose 3:11). 

Kepha imvelo ayinakufaniswa noNkulunkulu. Imvelo inomkhawulo 

futhi iyaguquguquka. ‘Kunesikhathi sokuzalwa, nesikhathi 

sokufa, isikhathi sokutshala nesikhathi sokuvuna” (Umshumayeli 

3:2). Nomakunjalo, siyasho ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukuyona yonke 

imvelo, futhi yonke imvelo ikuNkulunkulu. 

Ngalokhoke lapho thina bantu sicekela phansi izinto zemvelo, 

umphumela wokuqala owokuthi sibulala ubukhona buka- 

Nkulunkulu (Thomas Berry). Lokhu kusenza siqiniseke ngokuphelele 

futhi samukele ukuthi impilo yabantu esizukulwaneni esizayo 

izoshabalala uma singavikeli sisimamise impilo yezinye izinto zemvelo; 

nokuthi kungeke kwabakhona ukuthula emhlabeni ngaphandle 

kokuba siqale sibuyisane nendalo. 

Kulenkathi yanamuhla sifanele ukucabanga ngezinto ezithinta 

umhlaba wonke. Kufanele sihlole izenzo zethu negalelo lazo ezintweni 

zemvelo. Siyophendula phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngokunakekelwa 

komhlaba. Kungumsebenzi wethu ukuzama ukulungisa umonakalo 

osuwenzekile, nokuvikela indalo sibuyisele amanoni omhlaba.

OKUFANELE SIKWENZE 

Kunombhalo owaziwa kakhulu othi 

‘UNeru wayebamba eyeka, akenza lutho ngenkathi idolobhakazi lase- 

Roma lisha lingqongqa’. Abanye bangathi inkinga ka-Neru kuseyinkinga 

ebhekene nemiphakathi eminingi yabazalwane banamuhla. 

Abantu bayazi ukuthi kunenkinga malungana nezemvelo, kepha 

kuncane abakwenzayo. Yebo, bonke bangavuma ukuthi kufanele 

kunikezwe imiyalo: “Landela indlela yemvelo”; “Ungazikhi izimbali 

zasendle”; “Akungabaswa umlilo; akumiswa amatende”; “Ungabhukudi 

lapho kumi iduku elibomvu”; ‘Ungangcolisi; ‘Qaphela lapho 

usebenzisa amanzi’ nokunye. Kepha, akukho migomo ecacile yokuzibophezela 

kwebandla noma komphakathi kulezizinto. 

Njengamabandla kufanele sifunde ukuhlalisana ngokuzwana 

omunye nomunye kanye nendalo kaNkulunkulu.

1. Ukwenza ucwaningo ngezemvelo mayelana nempahla noma 

umhlaba okusetshenziswa yibandla. Ngabe kusetshenziswa ngendlela 

ekukhuthaza ukunakekelwa nobuhle bemvelo? 

2. Ukuhlanganyela nabanye-intsha, amaqembu ezemvelo esifundeni 

sakithi nakuzwelonke, ososayensi, ochwepheshe bezomnotho,

Ukuvala 

Umholi 

Njengoba sesiqedile isahluko sokuqala lapho besigxile ebuhleni, 

izinhlobo ezehlukene zendalo kanye nezimangaliso zayo, sethemba 

ukuthi sizogubha ngokujabula konke lokhu enkonzweni yangeSonto. 

Kulapho sizokwazi ukusho kakhulu ngokungahlonizi sithi “Yebo” 

kuNkulunkulu ngendalo yonke. Kuyisipho esihle kakhulu asiphe 

sona uNkulunkulu njengabantu. UNkulunkulu ukhona kuyona yonke 

indalo. Ngalokhoke umuntu ngamunye kumele azinikele ukusebenzela 

ukuvikela nokonga imvelo, hhayi kuphela ukuthi kusizakale 

thina kepha nezizukulwane ezizayo. 

Hlanganyelani emkhulekweni nihube ihubo lokugubha 

inkonzo 

(Uma ninesikhathi ningasebenzisa isibonelo senkonzo esingemuva 

kwalelibhukwana). 


Yenzani umdladlwana ngendaba yomuntu enimazi njengomngani 

omkhulu wezilwane nendalo. (Kungakuhle ukuyibhala phansi ukulungiselela 

labo abazodlala kulomdlalo). 

Isibonelo: indaba ka Francis Ocwebileyo wase-Assisi, lendaba 

ningayilingisa. 

Ufrancis wayengumngani omkhulu wendalo, kanti futhi ungocwebileyo 

(uSanti) odumile kwabadala nabancane bezinkolo zonke. 

Izindaba ezinigni zokuzwana kwakhe nezilwane, nokusondelana 

kwakhe nendalo, uthando lwakhe loMdali kwamenza abize zonke 

izinto zemvelo ngodadewabo nabafowabo, isibonelo, umfowethu 

uLanga; udadewethu uNyanga; umfowethu uMlilo; udadewethu 

uManzi njalonjalo. 

Ezehlakalweni eziningi zobudlelwane bakhe kanye nezinyoni 

nezilwane, sikhethe indaba eyodwa ekhuluma ngoFrancis oCwebileyo 

nempisi yase-Gubbio. 

Ningakhetha umuntu ozoxoxa lendaba. Abanye baqokelwe ukulingisa, 

isibonelo, ozolingisa uFrancis, owesimame owamholela empisini, 

iqulu labantu, impisi, izibukeli enkundleni njalonjalo. Izinto 

14

ezingasiza kungaba imidwebo yelanga nenyanga nezinkanyezi, 

ikhophi yomkhuleko ka FrancisoCwebileyo: “Ngenze ngibe ithuluzi 

lakho loxolo” noma umkhuleko wakhe wokudumisa owaziwa 

ngokuthi “Ihubo lezidalwa” (The Canticle of the Creatures). Ningavala 

ngomdanso noma ngeculo lokujabula. 

Indaba ka-Francis oCwebileyo nempisi yase-Gubbio 

Ngolunye usuku uFrancis wasuka e-Assisi ehamba ngomgwaqo omkhulu 

obheke e-Gubbio. Ekufikeni kwakhe edolobheni wezwa ngamahlebezi okuthi 

kukhona impisi edume ngokweba edolobheni futhi ebulala izingane ezincane. 

U-Francis wabuza kubantu ukuthi ukuphi umhume wayo. Abantu bendawo 

ngokwesaba bamangala. Ubani owayengaphuma aye emhumeni wempisi? 

Ekugcineni, kwavela owesimame owathi uzohamba no-Francis ayomkhombisa 

umhume wempisi. 

Bobabili banqamula phakathi kwequlu labantu elalimangele baze bayophuma 

ngamasango edolobha. Iqulu nalo lalandela kancane buqamama. 

Bathi lapho befika ejikeni lomgwaqo owesimame wakhomba idwala elilengayo 

elaliphakeme kakhulu lisebuqamamana. Wathi “ngaphansi kwalaphaya” 

wasesondela ku-Francis. Ngenkathi besondela edwaleni, bengazelele 

bezwa ukugwavuma kanye nokugidizela komhlabathi. U-Francis wabona 

impisi iza ngolaka iqonde ngqo kubona. U-Francis wenza uphawu lwesiphambano 

elubhekise ngakuyo impisi. Wabe esedonsa umoya kakhulu wasuka 

waya kuyo impisi. 

Impisi yehlisa ijubane yagcina ngokuma nse. U-Francis wama bude buduze 

nempisi wayibuka ngothando. Kwaphazima intukuthelo emehlweni empisi 

yaqala yalungisa imihlathi yayo isiconsa namathe. U-Francis wakhuluma wathi: 

“Mpisi mfowethu, egameni likaJesu, uMnewethu, ngizokulanda. Siyakudinga 

edolobheni. Laba bantu bafike nami ukuzocela wena owesabekayo, ukuba 

uzokuba ngumvikeli we-Gubbio. Ngalokho sizokuhlonipha sikunikeze indawo 

yokukhosela isikhathi sonke sokuphila kwakho. Njengophawu lokuzibophezela 

kulesisethembiso ngikunikeza isandla sami”. 

Impisi yehlisa umdlwenga, yabheka phansi ngamehlo ayo ayebomvu 

okwegazi. Yabe seyisondela kancane iya kuFrancis maqede yaphakamisa isadladla 

sayo yasibeka esandleni sikaFrancis. Bobabili uFrancisi nempisi bama 

bebambene kanjalo isikhathi eside. Ekugcineni, u-Francis wafola wayigona 

impisi. Emuva kwalokho basuka bobabili nomnewbo omusha babuyela equlwini 

labantu kunye nowesimame. Bobathathu bahola iqulu labantu elishaqekile 

babuyela e-Gubbio. 

Isifundo ngendaba yeMpisi yase-Gubbio kanye no-Francis 

U-Francis wayuzwela impisi. Kwakukhona okuthile ngempisi okuyizimpawu 

zayo yonke imvelo, indlala exakile, ukushabasheka inga- 

15

phumuli, ukuhhahhama isineka ngezingxavula zamazinyo, konke 

lokhu kuyizimpawu zobulwane nobungozi kithina Bantu. Kepha 

uFrancis lempisi akayibonanga njengesitha esizingela abantu kepha 

njengesilwane esizingelwayo. Emehlweni ayo wabona ukwesaba, 

ukukhathazeka, ulunya nentukuthelo yokufuna ukushwabadela konke 

okuphambi kwayo wakubona njengendlela yokufuna ukuziphindiselela 

ngenxa yokuhlukumezeka kwayo. Akukhumbuleke 

ukuthi izimpisi zifana nabantu. Uma uzibheka ngokwesaba bese uyazibandlulula, 

ziphenduka lokho obusaba ukuthi ziyikhona. 

Isifundo: 

nguMholi 

1. Nimfune owenza isiLimela neMpambano. Ophendula ithunzi 

lokufa libe-ngukusa, ayenze imini ibe- mnyama njengobusuku. 

Obiza amanzi olwandle, awathululele ebusweni bomhlaba. Ngu- 

Jehova igama lakhe. (uAmose 5: 8) 

ISIKHASHANA SOKUZINDLA 

2. Funani okuhle, hhayi okubi, ukuze niphile. Abenani uJehova 

uNkulunkulu-Sebawoti, njengalokhu nisho. Zondani okubi, 

nithande okuhle nimise ukwahlulela esangweni. Mhlawumbe 

uJehova uNkulunkulu-Sebawoti uyakuba Nomusa kuyo insali 

yakwaJosefa (uAmose 5: 14 – 15) 


3. Kepha ukwahlulela makugobhoze njengamanzi nokulunga njengomfula 

onganqamukiyo (uAmose 5: 24) 


Umuntu ngamunye ufunda umbhalo olandelayo: 

Ezolimo nomhlaba: Udumo malube kuwena Nkosi, ngoMama wethu 

onguMhlaba, osiphilisayo nosilawulayo. Okhiqiza izithelo ezingefani 

nezimbali ezinemibala kanye namakhambi. 

– Francis of Assisi, The Canticle of Brother Sun 

Isenanelo seqembu: UDUMO ALUBE KUWE NKOSI YAMI 

Amanzi: Udumo alube kuwena Nkosi ngoDadewethu ongaManzi, olusizo 

kakhulu, unokuzithoba nobugugu futhi umsulwa.

SIYAKUDUMISA 

Ngalomhlaba onezinkanyezi ezingabaleki ochichima impilo ngezilwandle 

nezidalwa zazo nezingwadule nempilo yazo engalindelekile ngezintaba 

nezimpophoma ngamathafa, ngotshani nezimbali ngamahlathi nempilo 

yawo engefani, ngobuhle bezinyoni nesimanga sempilo yasendle, ngezilwane 

esizifuyayo nangomunye nomunye – abantu esiphila nabo.

Akhani amaqembu abantu abangu 4-5. Fundani umbhalo olandeleyo 

abantu abahlukene bafunde indima umuntu ngamunye bese nixoxisana 

ngemibuzo.

Kuyini ukufudumala komhlaba? 

Kunamagesi afana ne-‘carbon dioxide’ kanye ne-‘methane’, abuye 

aziwe ngokuthi yi-‘greenhouse’. Lamagesi akha untwentwesi emkhathini 

olube seluvalela ukushisa emhlabeni kungadluleli emkhathini. 

Lokhu kube sekwenza umhlaba ushise kakhulu – bese kudaleka 

lokhu esithi ukufudumala komhlaba. Ngenxa yalokhukushisa kuba 

sekushintsha nezikhathi zemvula kube nozamcolo ezindaweni eziningi. 

Igesi i-‘carbon dioxide’ yiyona enomthelela omkhulu ekufudumaleni 

komhlaba. Kanti ke legesi iqhamuka kakhulukazi ezimbonini 

nokushiswa kwemikhiqizo kawoyela. Ukubulawa kwamahlathi 

nakho kwakha lamagesi ayingozi. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi izihlahla 

phela zinciphisa inani lalegesi ‘carbon dioxide’, ngokuyisebenzisa 

ekukhiqizeni umoya lona esiwuphefumulayo i-‘oxygen’, ukushatshalaliswa 

kwezihlahla eziningi kusho ukwanda kwalegesi. 

Kunobufakazi bokuthi izinto ezenziwa ngabantu nazo zinegalelo 

ekushintsheni kwesimo sezulu. Abantu bamazwe athuthukile bangu- 

20% nje kuphela wenani labantu emhlabeni, kepha basebenzisa u- 

80% wezimfanelo nezidingo zomhlaba jikelele. Ngenxa yalempilo 

yokunethezeka, lamazwe ayathinteka kakhulu ekungcoliseni indalo 

okudala ukufudumala komhlaba. 

Kwamanye amazwe asathuthukayo afana neNingizimu Afrika 

abantu balingisa imikhuba yaseNyakatho. INingizimu Afrika ingeyesithathu 

emazweni akhiqiza kakhulu amagesi ayingozi. Kulamazwe 

kanye nezwe lethu, umuntu ngamunye ukhiqiza amathani alishumi e- 

‘carbon dioxide’ ngonyaka. Lokhu kulenza izwe lethu likhiqize legesi 

ngokuphindiwe kunamanye asathuthukayo. 

Ukufudumala komhlaba kanye nezinguquko ezidalekayo kwisimo 

sezulu kuyinselelo ekhathaza kakhulu esibhekene nazo kulenkathi. 

UKUNGCOLISEKA KWEMVELO 

Ukungcoliseka kwemvelo kuwukungcola (kwamanzi, inhlabathi 

kanye nomoya) okudalwa udoti wabantu. Emhlabeni wonke sikhiqiza 

ukungcola ngesivinini esiphezulu uma kuqhathaniswa nemizamo 

yokukukhuculula. Siphila emhlabeni wokudla ukudla okusheshayo 

maqede kulahlwe udoti nanoma yikanjani. Kuliqiniso ukuthi amazwe 

athuthuke kakhulu yiwona angcolisa kakhulu imvelo kepha namanye 

asathuthukayo njengeNingizimu Afrika nawo awazibekile phansi.

UMBONO WEBHAYIBHELI 

Amalungu amabili eqembu afunda isahluko esilandelayo 

ezincwadini ezehlukene: 

Isaya 24:4-6 Inselelo yokusebenzela ubulungiswa bezemvelo 

Umhlaba uyalila ubune, izwe liyaphela amandla, linyamalale. Umhlaba wonakalisiwe 

ngabakhile kuwona; ngokuba beqile imithetho, badlulile ezimisweni, 

baphulile isivumelwano esiphakade. Ngalokho isiqalekiso sidlile umhlaba; 

nabakhileyo kuwo batholiswa icala. Ngalokho bayashiswa, kusale abantu 

abayingcosana. 

Emuva kwesikhashana sokuthula, xoxisanani 

1. Yibuphi ubudlelwane umbhalo weBhayibheli onabo ngesimo 

somhlaba wethu wanamuhla kanye nezinkinga ezikhona? 

2. Kungaziphi izindlela esingcolisa ngazo umhlaba? 

3. Ukwenza lokho okufanele nokulungile akulula futhi kuvame 

ukuba yingozi. Yikuphi okungasikhuthaza lapho silwela ubulungiswa 

bezemvelo? 

Abantu abehlukene mabafunde umbhalo olandelayo, 

umuntu afunde isigaba ngasinye 

Inselelo edalwa ukucelwa phansi kwemvelo idinga ukuthi sihlole kabusha 

ukholo lwethu. Kufanele sivume ukuthi asizange sethembeke evangelini 

ngalokhu. Asizange sibe nokuqonda ngezokholo ukuze siqaphele izimpawu 

zokushintsha kwezinto. 

Samukela umbono wokuthi siyizinceku njengegunya lokubhozomela 

zonke izinto zomhlaba. Njengaba bhasobhi bomhlaba kufanele sifunde 

ukuthi asibona abanikazi bomhlaba, futhi asifanele ukuwusebenzisa noma 

siwuphathe noma yikanjani ukufeza izinjongo zethu. 

Sithathe amandla kaNkulunkulu sazenza abamqoka endalweni. Sibone 

konke okudaliwe kufanele ukusiza abantu kuphela. Sizibone singamakhosi 

phezu kwendalo kepha sidale usizi, kunokuba silethe injabulo emhlabeni. 

Kufanele siqonde ukuthi ukuthunywa kwethu kusho ukuba yisikhonzi sayo 

yonke indalo, hhayi ukuyengamela. 

Sivumele izimfundiso zenkolo zehlukanisa uNkulunkulu nomhlaba, izimfundiso 

zenkolo ezigxile ekubhekeleni insindiso yomphefumulo kuphela zakhohlwa 

okwenyama, ezifuna ukusindiswa emhlabeni hhayi ukusindiswa komhlaba, 

ezilangazelela okwasezulwini kodwa zikhohlwa ukubona umhlaba njengesipho 

esiyigugu. Kufanele sifunde ukuhlanganisa imfundiso yobuKrestu ngendalo, 

isono, ukuhlinzekela, insindiso kanye nekusasa lendalo konke ndawonye.

OKUMELE UKWENZIWA 

Ilungu leqembu liyafunda kakhulu bese nixoxisana 

Njengabantu bokholo sikholwa ukuthi umhlaba nezinto zawo zonke 

okukaJehova. Umhlaba nabo bonke abaphila kuwo abakaJehova (ama- 

Hubo 24:1). Akusiwona owethu ukuze siwucekele phansi. Kufanele 

sazi ukuthi siyophendula kuNkulunkulu ngokuphila kwethu nokuziphatha

Ethembeni lokuthi nakho okudaliweyo kuyakukhululwa ebugqileni bokubhubha, 

kube –ngukukhululeka kwenkazimulo yabantwana bakaNkulunkulu. 

Ngokuba siyazi ukuthi konke okudaliweyo kuyabubula kanye kanye kunezinseka 

kuze kube manje; akusikho lokho kuphela kepha nathi uqobo lwethu 

esinolibo lukaMoya siyabubula phakathi kwethu, silindele isimo sobuntwana, 

ukukhululwa komzimba wethu. 

Ngokuba ethembeni sisindisiwe; kepha ithemba elibonwayo alisilo 

ithemba; ngokuba lokhu umuntu akubonayo usakwethembelani na? Kodwa 

uma sethemba lokho esingakuboniyo, siyakulindela ngokubekezela. Ngokunjalo 

noMoya uyasisiza ebuthakathakeni bethu; ngokubasikwazi esingakucela 

ngokufaneleyo, kodwa uMoya uqobo usikhulumela ngokububula 

okungenakuphinyiselwa; kepha yena ohlola izinhliziyo uyakwazi okuqondwa 

nguMoya, ngokuba ukhulumela abangcwele ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu. 

Siyazi ukuthi kwabamthandayo uNkulunkulu konke kusebenzelana kube 

ngokuhle, kulabo ababiziweyo ngecebo lakhe. 

Ukuzindla ngokufundiwe 

Kunikezwe imibono ngezansi ezokusiza ekuhleleni inkulumo yakho. 

1. Umoya kaJehova uhlale unathi futhi kufanele siwethembe ekusiholeni. 

2. Nanoma kunganzima kangakanani, akufanele siyeke ukusebenzela

ingabonakali kithina, kepha kumele sibekezele. 

Isifundo sesibili AmaHubo 19: 7-11 

Umthetho kaJehova uphelele, uvusa umphefumulo.Ukufakaza kukaJehova 

kuqinisile, kuhlakaniphisa oyisiwula. Imiyalo kaJehova ilungile, ijabulisa 

inhliziyo. Imiyalezo kaJehova ihlanzekile futhi inikeza ulwazi emqondweni. 

Ukumesaba uJehova kuhlanzekile, kumi kuze kube phakade; Imithetho

ezomhlaba 

Umhlaba 

Umholi 

Indaba yomhlaba, ukuvikeleka noma ukukhiqizwa kokudla, namanzi 

kuyizinto ezixhumene kakhulu. 

ENingizimu Afrika iningi labantu belingenawo umhlaba okuyinto 

esanda kushintsha. Izigidigidi zabantu abamnyama zaxoshwa ezindaweni 

zazo ngaphansi kwemithetho yobandlululo baphoqwa ukuthi 

bayohlala emijondolo lapho kungekho ndawo yokulima ukudla noma 

yokufuya izinkomo ukuze baziphilise. Kusukela ngo-1994 sekwenziwe 

imizamo yokuguqula lokhu, kepha kubonakala kungumsebenzi onzima. 

Ilungu leqembu lifunda umbhalo olandelayo ovela embikweni 

wonyaka ka 2003 wakwa AFRA: 

“Ubuphofu ezindaweni zasemaphandleni busemazingeni angemukeleki. 

Ukuntuleka komhlaba namalungelo obunikazi bawo bungenye 

yezinkinga ezimqoka futhi enegalelo elikhulu uma kubhekwa 

ubuphofu obusemaphandleni. Inqubo yokuthengiselana ukuzama 

ukuguqula ezomhlaba kanye namaphuzu aqondene nalokhu kunciphisa 

amathuba okwabiwa kabusha komhlaba kanye nokuqedwa 

kobuphofu emaphandleni. Abantu abampofu bayaqhubeka nokuhlupheka 

befana nezinqibi ezicela ubulungiswa, kanti uvo lwabo 

alufinyeleli kahle kahle lapho kwenziwa khona izinqumo.” 

“Ngo-1994 i-AFRA yagunyaza u-Cheryl Walker ukuthi enze ucwaningo 

mayelana namalungelo obunikazi bomhlaba kwabesimame,

Umholi 

Ukutholakala kwamanzi ahlanzekile kuyisidingo ngqangi kwezempilo 

nenhlalakahle. Kepha iningi lemifula nemihosha eNingizimu 

Afrika kungcoliswa yizimboni kanti kunjalo nje ukungabikhona 

kwamanzi ahamba ngamapayipi emaphandleni nasemijondolo emadolobheni, 

kuphoqa abantu ukuba basebenzise amanzi asemifuleni 

ukuze bathole amanzi okuphuza, awokupheka kanye nokuwasha. 

Kanti ukungabibikho kwezidingo ngqangi njengokukhucululwa 

kwendle kusho ukuthi yona lemifula nemihosha ingcoliswa yindle. 

Zonke lezizimo zidala ingozi yokuhlaselwa izifo ezifana nekholera 

kanti futhi ziba negalelo ekukhuthazeni igciwane leNgculazi okube 

sekukhulisa izinga lokufa kwalabo abanalesisifo. 

Emizameni yokutholela abantu abaningi amanzi ahlanzekile 

nahamba ngamapayipi, ukwelekelela emizameni kahulumeni kube 

sekuzanywa ukuba kudayiselwe izinkampani zaphesheya umsebenzi 

wokunikezwa kwamanzi. Lokhu kuchaza ukukhokhisa abantu ngamanzi. 

Abantu abampofu ngeke bakwazi ukubhekana nalezizindleko, 

uma bephoqwa ngalokhu kuzodaleka umonakalo. 

Ilungu leqembu lizofunda umbhalo olandelayo wephephandaba

Ukuvikeleka kokudla 

Umholi 

Ukuvikeleka kokudla kuchaza ukutholakala kokudla ngendlela 

efanele kubantu bonke ukuze baphile kahle futhi bazi ukuthi izingane 

zabo ziyokuthola ukudla. 

Ezinye zezinto ezithikameza ukuvikeleka kokudla eNingizimu Afrika: 

• Ukuntuleka kwemisebenzi kanye nobuphofu – okwenza abantu 

bangakwazi ukuzithengela ukudla ezitolo. 

• Ukungabi namhlaba wokuzilimela ukudla. 

• Ukusetshenziswa komhlaba ukulima ukudla kokuletha inzuzo 

okufana nomoba, kunokuba kulinywe ukudla okufana nommbila, 

imifino kanye nezithelo okungatholakala kangcono kubantu bonke. 

• Inqubo engalungile yohwebo emhlabeni ephoqa amazwe ukuthi 

athengise noma athenge ukudla kwawo kwamanye amazwe, kunokuba 

azilimele wona ukudla ukuze asimame kwezolimo. 

• Ukukhula kokusetshenziswa kokudla kwembewu yokuzakhela, 

okuthikameza impilo kanye nomsebenzi wabalimi, kanti futhi ekugcineni 

kulimaza izitshalo ezifana nombila. 

Ilungu leqembu lizofunda umbhalo ongezansi: 

Izinto eziphilayo zinezinto ezingumfuziselo (genes) wohlobo ngalunye lwaleyonto, 

okuyizona eziyinkomba yezimpawu ezenza into ngayinye ephilayo 

31

yehluke kwenye nenye nokuyizinkomba zokuthi iyini. Ukulumbanisa lezizinto 

(genetic engineering) kusho ukwengezwa noma kususwe lemifuziselo 

entweni ephilayo ukuze kushintshwe ezinye zezimpawu zayo. Lokhu kwenziwa 

ezizindeni zokucwaninga ngezesayensi kanti kwehluke kakhulu kwinqubo 

yokulumbanisa ngokwemvelo. 

Lokhu kulumbanisa kwenziwa ezintweni ezifanayo, isibonelo, umfuziselo 

othile othathwe egilebhisini bese ufakwa kwelinye igilebhisi. Kanti futhi 

lokhu kuyenziwa nasentweni ezingahlobene, njengokuthatha umfuziselo 

wesilokazana (bacteria) esikhiqiza ubuthi obubulala izilwanyana ezicekela 

phansi ukotini njengomswenya obizwa nge-‘boll worm’ uwufake esitshalweni 

sikakotini. Lowokotini ube sewuba wubuthi ezilwanyazaneni eziwudlayo 

ngaleyondlela awube usadliwa yizilwanyana. Lokhu kungasiza kakhulu 

abalimi ngokuthi akube kusadingeka ukuba bangachelele izitshalo zabo 

ngamakhemikhali ayingozi. Abalimi abancane eMakhathini Flats eNyakatho 

yaKwaZulu-Natali basohlelweni olubakhuthaza ukuthi batshale izitshalo 

zikakotini owenziwe ngalendlela. 

Kepha, ososayensi baxwayise ngokuthi lenqubo yembewu yokuzenzela 

ingubuchwepheshe obungacacile futhi obunemiphumela engakaziwa, eminye 

yayo engabayingozi kubantu nakwezemvelo. Ngo-2002 izwe laseZambia 

lenqaba ukwamukela usizo lokudla okwakukade kukhiqizwe ngembewu 

yalokukulumbanisa, phezu kokuba libhuqabhuqwa yindlala. Ososayensi 

bakhona baveza ukuthi lokhu kudla kungadala ubuthi obusha ekudleni futhi 

kungaveza nezifo ezahlukene, kuthene amandla ezivikela mzimba kanti futhi 

kungehliza nezinga lomsoco ekudleni. Baphinde baxwayise ngokuthi lokhu 

kudla kungonakalisa ukudla kwemvelo futhi kukhinyabeze ukuhwebelana 

kwabo nezimakethe zokudla emazweni aseYurophu lapho abathengi 

bengakufuni khona ukudla kwembewu yokuzenzela (GM seeds). 

Ngenkathi yokulima ku-2002/3 iNingizimu Afrika yatshala ingxenye engu- 

70% yembewu kakotini elumbanisiwe, kwaba ngu-12% wesoya, kwaba ngu- 

20% wommbila obomvu kanye no-3% wombila omhlophe. Umbila omhlophe 

ungukudla okumgogodla kuleli, kanti ukulumbaniswa kwawo sekudale 

ukukhathazeka kwabaningi, ikakhulu ngenxa yokwenyuka kobhubhane 

lwegciwane leNgculazi kulelizwe kanye nesidingo sokudla okunomsoco 

nokusezingeni eliphakeme kulabo bantu abagulayo. 

Ukudla kwembewu yokuzenzela (GM seeds) kuvikelwa futhi kukhuthazwa 

yizinkampani zamazwe omhlaba ngesizathu sokuthi kuyokwandisa isivuno 

sokudla, kunciphise ukusetshenziswa kwemithi eyingozi ebulala izilwanyana 

ezidla izitshalo kanti futhi kuyoxazulula inkinga yendlala e-Afrika. Yonke 

lemibono ikhombisa ukungabi yiqiniso. Ukudla kwalolu hlobo akuqinisekisi 

ukwanda kwesivuno zikhathi zonke, isibonelo, isoya yembewu yokuzenzela 

ikhiqiza kusukela ku-5-10% ngaphansi kwesivuno sembewu ejwayelekile. 

Kanti izilwanyazana nazo seziphenduke zaba namandla okumelana nobuthi 

32

obufakwa kulezizitshalo okusho ukuthi sekudinga kubuye kusetshenziswe 

wona futhi amakhemikhali ukuzibulala. Kanti futhi ukwenza abalimi abancane 

base-Afrika bathenge imbewu yokuzenzela edulayo nephethwe amazwe 

athile minyaka yonke, kuyoyiqhubela phambili indlala e-Afrika. Lokhu 

kungenxa yokuthi phela abalimi abavumelekile ukuyigcina lembewu ukuze 

babuye bayitshali enyakeni olandelayo. Abalimi baphinde baphoqwe 

ukusebenzisa izikhuthazakhaba (umanyolo) walezizinkampani abethenga 

kuzo imbewu kuphela. Ekugcineni yizinkampani zembewu ezisizakalayo 

nezizuzayo ngalembewu yokuzenzela. Ukudla kwalembewu sikudla nsukuzonke 

ngesinqumo sikahulumeni kepha ngaphandle kwemvume yabantu

NOKUZIBOPHEZELEKA 

Amalungu amabili eqembu awafunde lesisifundo esilandelayo, 

kungabakuhle ukuba sifundwe ezincwadini ezahlukene. : 

U-Marku 6: 34 –44: Wonke umuntu unelungelo lokudla 

Ngenkathi uJesu ephuma esikebheni, wabona isixuku sabantu, waba nesihe 

ngabo, ngoba babefana nezimvu ezingenamelusi. Waqala ukubafundisa 

okuningi. Kwathi isikhathi sesihambile, abafundi bakhe beza kuye, bathi 

‘Isikhathi sesihambile, futhi lendawo ilihlane. Bamukise baye emaphandleni 

nasemizaneni ezungezile bazithengele ukudla. 

Wathi kubo ‘bapheni nina ukudla.’ Bathi kuye ‘Sihambe yini , siyothenga 

izinkwa zawodenariyu abangamakhulu amabili, sibaphe badle na? Wathi 

kubo ‘Ninezinkwa ezingaki na? Hambani nibone. Sebazi bathi ‘Ziyisihlanu, 

nezinhlanzi ezimbili.’

UJesu watshela abafundi bakhe ukuthi bahlukanise abantu amaqembu 

Emuva kwesikhashana sokuzindla, abanye abantu ababili mabafunde 

umbhalo olandelayo ezincwadini ezehlukene:

abafundi ukuba baphe abantu; nezinhlanzi ezimbili wababela bonke ngazo. 

Badla bonke basutha. Abafundi bathatha iziqebetho ezilishumi nambili 

ezigcwele imvuthuluka yezinkwa neyezinhlanzi. Abantu abadla babeyizinkulungwane 

ezinhlanu. 

Akube yilowo nalowo azithobe phansi kwamandla ombuso, ngokuba akukho 

mandla ombuso angaveli kuNkulunkulu; lawa akhona amiswe nguNkulunkulu. 

Ngakho ke omelana namandla ombuso umelana nesimiso sika- 

Nkulunkulu; kepha abamelana nakho bayakwamukeliswa ukulahlwa. Ngukuba 

ababusi abesabeki kwavenza okuhle, kodwa kwabenza okubi. Kepha

Emakhasini okuqala ombhalo ongcwele sifunda lamazwi: “Gcwalisani umhlaba 

futhi niwunqobe” (uGenesise 1:28) Lokhu kusifundisa ukuthi indalo yonke 

ngeyabantu, ngokuba banikezwa umyalelo wokuthi bawenze ube muhle 

ngemisebenzi yabo yobuhlakani, bawuphelelise ngemizamo yabo nangofisa 

kwabo. 

Manje uma umhlaba wawudalelwe ukunikeza abantu izidingo zokuphila 

kanye nalokho kokubathuthukisa, kusho ukuthi wonke umuntu unelungelo 

lokuzitapela lokho akudingayo emhlabeni. “UNkulunkulu wayehlose ukuthi 

umhlaba nakho konke onakho kusetshenziswe ngabantu. Umkhandlu webandla

IZIFUNDO ZEBHAYIBHELI KANYE NOKUZINDLA 

Isifundo sokuqala: uJoweli 1:14-20 

Ngcwelisani ukuzila ukudla; nibize umhlangano! Buthani abaholi kanye 

nabantu bakwaJuda bahlangane eThempelini likaNkulunkulu futhi nikhale 

kuyena. Usuku lukaJehova lusondele; usuku lapho uSomandla ehlisa incithakalo. 

Incithakalo eyolethwa yilolo suku! Sibona abantu bethithibele njengoba 

ukudla kwethu kucekeleka phansi. Ayikho intokozo endlini kaJehova. Imbewu 

iyabola phansi kwagade ayo. Izinqolobane zidiliziwe. 

Imihlambi yezinkomo ikhungathekile ngokuba ayinadlelo; imihlambi yezimvu 

izithwese icala. Ngikhala kuwe Jehova ngokuba amadlelo asehlane adliwe 

ngumlilo. Nezilwane zasendle zikhalela wena ngokuba imifula ishile.

Ukuzindla ngombhalo: 

Kunezibonelo ezinikezwe lapha ngezansi ezingakusiza ukulungiselela 

inkulumo yakho: 

• Amanzi amqoka kuzo zonke izidalwa eziphilayo. 

• Amanzi ayisipho esivela kuMdali, okufanele siwenze igugu futhi 

atholwe ngabantu bonke. 

• Akekho onelungelo lokuthengisa amanzi ukuthola inzuzo. 

Isifundo sesibili: AmaHubo 65:9 –13 

Uhambela umhlaba, unisa imvula, uwuvundisa kakhulu. Ugcwalisa imifula 

ngamanzi; unikeza umhlaba izitshalo. Unisa imvula eningi emasimini; uthambisa 

umhlabathi ngamanzi futhi izitshalo ezincane zikhule. Umusa wakho 

unikeza isivuno esinothile! Lapho uhamba khona kugcwele, yonke into. 

Amadlelo ambethe izimvu; izintaba ziyajabula; izigodi zisibekelwe ngamabele. 

Konke kuyajabula futhi kuyahlabelela.

ISINGENISO 

Emasontweni amathathu adlule sifunde futhi sabonisana ngobuhle 

bendalo kanye nezinkinga zemvelo ezibhekene nemiphakathi yethu. 

Kungenzeka ukuthi sithole nezinye izinkinga noma izinto esidinga 

ukuzixazulula ezisikhungethe ezindaweni esiphila kuyona. 

Kulelisonto sizophinda sicubungule sibonisane ngalezizinto esixoxe 

ngazo ezahlukweni ezedlule ngenhloso yokwenza uhlelo (plan) lwendlela 

esizosebenza ngayo ekubhekaneni nokuxazulula lezizinkinga. 

Cubungulani isinyathelo ngasinye ningaxhamazeli ukuze ekugcineni 

niqhamuke nohlelo (plan) enizosebenza ngalo olunesesekelo

UBUHLE, NOKWAHLUKA- 

HLUKANA KANYE 

NEZIMANGALISO ZENDALO 

AMAPHUZU OKUZINDLA 

Cabanga nganoma yikuphi okulandelayo ukugxilisa ulwazi 

lwakho: 

1. Namuhla, abantu abaningi babona ubuhle, indalo kokwehlukana 

kwayo kanye nezimangaliso zayo njengento eyithafa/indawo 

lapho abantu bezibusisa khona ngempilo. Indalo bayibona njengesilwanekazi 

esiziphilela ngokwaso, esiyingxenye nje yempilo. 

Umhlabathi wona ufana nomgudu wokudla wesilwanekazi lapho 

zonke izinto zimimilitwa khona, zigaywe maqede zakhiwe 

kabusha. Izilwandle nemifula kusebenza njengezithuthi eziphakela 

zonke izingxenye zalesisilwanekazi. Izitshalo nezihlahla 

kona kungumdudu wokuphefumula. Izilwane zona zifana 

nemizwa. Abantu ke bona yibo abenza kube nempilo kulelithafakazi. 

Konke kubonakala kuyinto eyodwa noNkulunkulu. 

AmaKrestu akholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamukela umhlaba 

ngoJesu waseNazaretha, kanti nomhlaba wamukela uNkulunkulu 

ngaye. 

2. Ngezinye izikhathi kuyaye kuthi lapho sibuyela ezindaweni 

esakhulela kuzona ezazingamadlelo namahlathi, kodwa esezonakaliswa 

yintuthuko, noma kambe siphosa amehlo emathafeni 

asegcwele izindunduma zenkunkuma, kufika umuntu nenhlungu 

kube sengathi sephucwe okuthile okuyigugu. Kanjalo njengoba 

sibizelwe ukuhlonipha insimu yendalo, sibizelwe futhi ukuhlonipha 

bonke abantu abaphila kulensimu. 

3. Kudala abantu imvelo bebeyithatha kancane. Abanye bethi 

‘imvelo yakhiwe izinto ezifile; ayinamphefumulo; akusho lutho 

ukuthi isetshenziswa kanjani’. Kokunye abanye babone imvelo 

imqoka kakhulu kangabgoba abantu beza isibili kuyona futhi 

abekho mqoka. Ibhayibheli alichemile kulokhu. 

4. Ibhayibheli libuka indalo ngokucophelela. Libuka imvelo njengento 

ejabulisayo futhi enhle; kepha futhi inokungaqondakali.

ahloniphe imvelo, kepha futhi kunelungelo labantu lokuyengamela 

ngandlela thize. Ngaphandle kwezitshalo nezinambuzane 

ngabe azikho izivande. Ngaphandle kwabalimi bokubhekelela 

izitshalo nezinambuzane, ngabe azikho izivande. Ngalokhoke 

imvelo inokungaqondakali njengabo abantu. Imvelo ayinazo izilwane 

ezinokugonwa ezidla izitshalo. 

5. Imibhalo engcwele ithi indalo inesibonakaliso sayo yodwa. 

KwiZaga sifunda ukuthi ‘uMoya weNhlakanipho’ awuhlali nje 

kubantu kuphela kodwa ngaphezu komhlaba wonke nakuyo 

yonke indalo (Izaga 8:22-31). Kanti kuMshumayeli sifunda 

ukuthi “Inkambo yabantu nezilwane iyefana…kokubili kunomphefumulo 

munye.” (Umshumayeli 3:19). Kungalesizathu konke 

okwendalo kufanele kunakekelwe hhayi ukuthi kutuselwe 

ubumqoka bakho kubantu. Eqinisweni, uthando lukaNkulunkulu 

oluhlanganisa konke, lwabantu nokungebona abantu, 

kuyisimo sendalo esihlanganisayo. 

6. Ibhayibheli lithi uma abantu benakisisa ubuhle bemvelo, abayikugcina 

nje ngokubona injabulo yoMdali ngobuhle bendalo, 

kepha bayokwazi futhi bazizwele ubukho bukaNkulunkulu 

endalweni. “Mawubuze izilwane, ziyakukufundisa; nezinyoni 

zezulu, ziyakukutshela. Khuluma kuwo umhlaba, uyakukufundisa” 

(uJobe 12:7-8). “Amazulu ayalanda ngenkazimula ka- 

Jehova…nsuku zonke kuyakhuluma” (Amahubo 19:1-2). 

Amalungiselelo: 

Qala ngokubhala zonke izidingo zalenkonzo: okufana nebhayibheli, 

amakhandlela, izinkondlo, umculo, izindwangu, itafula, izihlalo, 

ubhasikidi nokunye. Kulenkonzo kudingeka usebenzise izinto zemvelo 

ezifana nenhlabathi, amatshe, amanzi, amagobolondo, amahlamvu, 

izimbali, izithelo, izimpande nokunye, ukuze kwakheke 

isimo esifanelekile ekwakheni lenkonzo. 

46

Iqembu livumelekile ukuzenzela eyalo iLitheji noma ukwamukela 

izibonelo ezilandelayo ngezidingo zalo luthathelwa elwazini lwakuqala 

ezifundweni zeqembu). 

Beka ikhandlela elivuthayo phakathi nendawo endlini noma esontweni 

kunye nezimpawu zendalo, ihlamvu, igobolondo, ucezu lwesithelo, 

amanzi, amatshe, nenhlabathi okukokelezele ikhandlela. 

Umholi 

Vula inkonzo engadini ngomkhuleko omfishane. Umuntu ngamunye 

anikezwe imizuzu engu-10 yokuzixhumanisa nemvelo mgomkhuleko. 

Kungasiza bakhulume ngento ethile (umucu wotshani, isinambuzane, 

ukukhanya kwelanga noma ithunzi eliphansi endlini nokunye). 

Umuntu ngamunye ubuyela endlini nento ezobonisa akutholile 

ensimini, okufana nembali, ihlamvu njalonjalo. Bendawonye baqala 

ngeculo noma ngehubo elinesiqubulo semvelo. 

Bese kufundwa umbhalo ofanelekile ebhayibhelini (Isibonelo, 

AmaHubo 104. 

Bengababili, 

abantu baletha izimpawu zabo etafuleni eliphakathi nendawo endlini. 

Umuntu uphethe into ethile, omunye ikhandlela elikhanyayo. U-

■ Umuntu wesibili: Sibasa lelikhandlela njengomkhuleko wokuvikelwa 

kwamahlathi omhlaba nabantu bonke, izilwane nezinambuzane 

ezihlala khona (ukhanyisa ikhandlela).

• Nicabanga ukuthi kulungile yini ukunikezelwa kokuphakelwa 

nokuhlanzwa kwamanzi ezinkampanini ezizimele? Chaza. 

• Ake nixoxisane ngezinto enisebenzisa ngazo amanzi? 

Xoxisanani nibhale izimpendulo zenu ephepheni elikhulu 

ukuze nibike eqenjini elikhulu. 

Yakhani amaqembu abantu abangu 4–5 nifunde lokhu 

okulandelayo bese nixoxisana niphendule imibuzo. 

Inhlangano yezizwe (United Nations -UN) isimemezele unyaka ka 2003 njengonyaka 

wamanzi ahlanzekile emhlabeni wonke. Ngaphandle kwamanzi 

akukho ukuphila. Amanzi siwasebenzisela ukuphuza, ukugeza, ukupheka 

nokuphakela imfuyo yethu. Kodwa akuyena wonke umuntu okwazi ukuthola 

amanzi ahlanzekile ingasaphathwa eyamanzi okwenza ezinye izinto njengalezi 

esezibaliwe. Abantu abaningi kusadingeka bahambe amabanga 

amade ukuyokukha amanzi. Izibalo ezikhishwe inhlangano yezizwe zikhomba 

ukuthi abantu bamazwe athuthukile basebenzisa amalitha alinganiselwa ku 

400-500 wamanzi ngosuku. Kanti abantu bamazwe asakhulayo kuyaye 

kuthiwe bayakwazi ukuthola amanzi ahlanzekile uma nje bethola amalitha 

angu 20 umuntu ngamunye ngosuku. Kanti ke ezindaweni eziningi abantu 

abawutholi kwawona lo 20 wamalitha okukhulunywa ngawo. 

Emhlabeni wonke, amanzi asephenduke ibhizinisi. Omunye wemiphumela 

yokuhwebelana ngokwezinga lomhlaba, yingcindezi ekhula ngamandla 

kokunye engenasidingo yokunikezela imisebenzi kahulumeni ezinkampanini 

ezizimele, njengophakelwa kwamanzi nemisebenzi yomasipala. 

Abantu abasina bededelana kulomkhakha wamanzi emhlabeni wonke, 

yizikhondlakhondla zezinkampani zamazwe athuthukile ezibona lokhu 

njengethuba elihle kuzo lokwenza imali. Inkampani ebizwa ngokuthi yi- 

‘Bretton Woods Institutions’ inikezela ngoxhaso lwezimali kwezinye zalezizinhlelo, 

nokho ke loluxhaso luhambisana nemigomo ethize egcina ngokufaka 

ingcindezi kulawo mazwe athole uxhaso. Esinye isikhondlakhondla 

kulomsebenzi wamanzi yinhlangano yokuhweba yamazwe omhlaba (World 

Trade Organisation-WTO) esebenzisa umgomo wayo kwezamanzi obizwa 

ngokuthi yi-(General Agreement on Trade in Services-GATS). Lesivumelwano 

noma lomgomo ubandakanye kona ukuhlanzwa nokuphakelwa kwamanzi 

nezidingo ngqangi emiphakathini. 

NjengamaKrestu nezishoshovu zokulwela ubulungiswa, kumele siqhubeke 

52

nomkhankaso wokuqinisekisa ukuthi amanzi ahlanzekile nezidingo ngqangi 

zentuthuko ziqhubeka nokunikezwa ngendlela efanele. 

Uhulumeni omusha wentando yeningi eNingizimu Afrika useshayelwe 

ihlombe ngemizamo ayenzile yokunikezela amanzi ahlanzekile kubantu 

abalinganiselwa ezigidini ezingu 7 kusukela ngonyaka ka 1994. Noma kunjalo 

lempi ayikanqontshwa, kusekuningi okumele kwenziwe. Imindeni engaphezu 

kuka 70% ayinabo ngisho ompompi ezindlini zawo. Kanti futhi kusamele 

kuthathwe izinyathelo ezinqala ngenhlanzeko emiphakathini ukuvikela ukubheduka 

kwezifo ezitholakala emanzini angahlanzekile. Umnyango kahulumeni 

obhekene nezamanzi namahlathi (The Department of Water Affairs & 

Forestry-DWAF), sewukhiphe iphepha lemibono (white paper) echaza ngemisebenzi 

yokuphakelwa kwamanzi. Loluhlelo lokuphakelwa kwamanzi 

luyosebenza kuphela uma bonke abantu bebamba iqhaza ekuhlaziyweni 

nasekusebetshenzisweni kwalo. 

• Ngubani noma iyiphi inkampani eniphakela amanzi endaweni yakini? 

• Ngabe zikhona izindawo ozaziyo lapho amanzi esalandwa emifuleni 

nasemihosheni? 

• Yiziphi ezinye izindlela zokukhuculula ezisetshenziswayo endaweni 

yakini ngaphandle kwezindlu zangasese ezinamanzi ashaywayo 

ukuhambisa indle? 

• Ngabe yiluphi ushintsho olubonakalayo emisebenzini yokuphakelwa 

kwamanzi endaweni yakini uma niqhathanisa nesikhathi 

esingaphambi kuka 1994? 

Xoxisanani ngezimpendulo zenu eqenjini elikhulu nizibhale 

phansi 

• Amanzi ayisidingo esikhulu sazozonke izinto. Ngabe lokhu kusinikeza 

yiphi inselelo kumuntu ngamunye nasemphakathini? 

Fundani umbhalo olandelayo nihlangene 

NjengamaKrestu ukuqonda kwethu umzabalazo wenhlalakahle nentuthuthuko 

kufanele kuqale ngokwamukela ukuthi umhlaba ungoka- 

Nkulunkulu, nokuthi konke esikwenza kuwo kufanele kwenziwe ngokukhumbula 

ukuthi ungokaNkulunkulu. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ukuphila kwabantu 

bonke, yizinto zonke eziphilayo nemvelo yonke ngokugcwala kwayo, 

kuyizipho ezevela kuMdali okumele zibe yigugu, zihlonishwe futhi zijatshulelwe. 

Ilungelo lokuba nempahla engeyakho, kumele lisetshenziswe 

ngokuqonda ukuthi uNkulunkulu nguye onelungelo namandla obunikazi 

kuleyompahla nakuzozonke izinto. Ngakho ke wonke umuntu kumele 

53

akhumbule lesisivumelwano, okusho ukuthi impahla kumele inakekelwe 

hhayi nje kuphela ukwanelisa umnikazi kepha nokusiza abanye. 

Ngakho ke singeze sazibandakanya nanoma yiziphi izinhlelo ezisebenzisa 

noma ziphathe indalo njengento yokuhwebelana. Singezibandakanye futhi 

nezinhlelo ezingahambisani neqiniso lokuthi wonke umuntu unelungelo 

elifanayo ekuhlumuleni ezintweni zemvelo lokhu okubuye kubizwe ngokuthi 

yi-‘global commons’ izinto zomhlaba wonke. 

“Lona ngumhlaba kaNkulunkulu” 

(Isitatimende se SACC mayelana ne WSSD 2002) 

Buyelani emaqenjini enu nixoxe ngalokhu okulandelayo: 

• Yimuphi umyalezo owutholile kulezizitatimende? 

• Bala izinto ezimbalwa ocabanga ukuthi zifanelwe ukuba zibe ngezomhlaba 

wonke (global commons)? 

Emasikweni amaningi amanzi athathwa njengento enobungcwele. 

Amanzi anikeza impilo, ayisidingo nakwezempilo. Ayisiqalo sayo yonke 

imisebenzi yomuntu ophilayo. 

“Amanzi kufanele aphathwe njengesidingo esimqoka ngokwezenhlalakahle 

ngokunjalo nangokwamasiko, hhayi njengento yokwenza 

inzuzo.” Uma sibheka iNtshumayelo yaseNtabeni siyakhumbula 

ukuthi uJesu wabakhuthaza kanjani abantu ukuba baphakele abanye 

ngokuba babelane ngalokho abanakho (Mark 6:35). Ngobudlelwane 

nje nokwabelana ngezinto eziyidingo, singaqiniseka ukuthi zonke 

izidingo zempilo ziyatholakala ngoba izidingo zanele ukuba wonke 

umuntu ahlomule. Ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi emindenini kuyilungelo 

lawo wonke umuntu okungafanele lithengiswe. Sizokhumbula 

ukuthi imiphakathi yamaKrestu asendulo ayephila ngokwabelana 

nobudlelwane kanti kwakungekho muntu onegunya lobunikazi ezintweni 

njengoba zonke izinto abanazo kwakungezomuntu wonke 

(Izenzo 4:32). 

IZITSHALO ZOKWENZIWA 

“Kungakuhle bakhumbule labo abangeke bakwazi ukuzithiba ekuhungekeni 

okuyingozi kwezitshalo zokwenziwa, ukuthi isisho esidala saseZambia sithi: 

‘uma ufuna ukuhlola ukujula kwamanzi, ungafaki imilenze yakho emanzini.’ ” 

(Chinsembo and Kanbikambi 2001)

Biowatch SA – South African People and Environments 

in the Global Market Booklet 4 – August 2002 

Emaqenjini abantu abangu 4–5 xoxani ngemibuzo 

elandelayo 

• Ucabanga ukuthi yini umehluko phakathi kwezitshalo zokuzenzela 

kanye nelezo ezitshalwe ngokwemvelo? 

• Yikuphi okucabangayo lapho ubheka ibalazwe elingenhla kanye 

nencazelo ekulona? 

• Wake wakudla ukudla kwezitshalo zokuzenzela? 

Xoxani ngezimpendulo nihlangene futhi nizibhale ephepheni. 

Yenzani amaqembu abantu abangu 4 – 5, fundani umbhalo 

olandelayo bese nixoxa ngemibuzo 

Izilimo zokuzenzela sezilinywe iminyaka engabalishumi. Ngaphandle kwemibuzo 

yokuthi ngabe kulungile yini lokhu ngokwezinkolelo, kunemibuzo 

ngegalelo lazizilimo kwezemvelo, igalelo lazo kwezomnotho, kubalimi abancane 

kanye nasezimpilweni yalabo abazidlayo, yonke lemibuza igcina 

ingaphendulekile. 

Abesekeli bezilimo zokuzenzela bathi lezizilimo ziyisixazululo enkingeni 

yokutholakala kokudla emazweni asacathulayo. Iqiniso ukuthi izinkampani 

zezolimo emhlabeni, ezikhiqiza imbewu yezilimo zokuzenzela, zinokuvikelwa 

kwezilimo zonke ezizikhiqizayo. Lokhu kuyizimo zamalungelo obunikazi 

55

empahla, ezinikeza abasunguli baleyompahla amalungelo aphelele ngezinhloso 

zohwebo esikhathini esithize. Kuhulumeni wethu kanye nabalimi 

lokhu kuchaza ukwethembela ezinkampanini zomhlaba ezikhiqiza imbewu, 

lokhu okuyodonsa isikhathi eside. 

Ukuze isizwe sizimele, kufanele siziphathele ukunikezwa kokudla 

kubantu. Ukutholakala kokudla nokuvikelwa kwakho kuyokwnzeka uma 

bonke abantu, ngezikhathi zonke, bekwazi ukufinyelela ezindaweni 

zokuthola ukudla futhi benawo namandla (imali) yokukuthenga lokho kudla. 

Ukudla abakutholayo kube okunomsoco nokuphephile ukuze babhekele 

izidingo zabo zokuphila kanye nokuzikhethela ukudla okuzobanika amandla 

nempilo efanelekile 

World Food Forum 1996 

• Kungabe ilungelo lokudla lihlanganisa ukutholakala kolwazi 

ngokudla esikunikezwayo na? Chazani. 

• Chaza ulwazi oluthile olunganikezwa ngokudla esikudlayo? 

• Bangaki abalimi abancane obaziyo esifundeni sakini? 

• Yiziphi izindlela zokulima abazisebenzisayo? (Ukonga imbewuyezilimo 

zabo ukwenzela isikhathi sokulima esilandelayo, ukuthenga 

imbewu, ukushintshana ngembewu nabanye, ukulima ngaphandle 

komanyolo wokwenziwa? 

Xoxani ngezimpendulo nihlangene futhi nizibhale 

ephepheni 

Bheka imibuzo engezansi bese nixoxa eqenjini. Bhalani phansi izimpendulo 

zenu bese nixoxa nihlangene 

1. Kungabe ilungelo lokudla liyinto umuntu ngamunye angase 

akwazi ukulithola ngokwakhe zikhathi zonke na? 

2. Ngobani obona ukuthi bafanele ukuqinisekisa ukuthi wonke 

umuntu kulelizwe uyakuthola ukudla? 

3. Thina njengamaKrestu yikuphi esingakwenza ukuze kutholakale 

ukudla kubantu besifunda sakithi? 

Umbhalo wokufundwa kuhlangenwe 

Umuntu ozibona enamandla okuguqula umhlaba ngomsebenzi wakhe, 

uyakhohlwa ukuthi lokhu kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu sezinto zonke ezikhona. 

Abantu bacabanga ukuthi bangenza nanoma yini ngomhlaba, okungaba 

ukuwuthuthukisa ngokwezifiso zabo, okungathi azikho ezinye izinto uNkulunkulu 

ayewudalele zona. Abantu yebo bangawuthuthukisa umhlaba kodwa 

hhayi ukuwucekela phansi. Kunokuba babambisane noNkulunkulu emsebenzini 

wendalo, bazibeka endaweni kaNkulunkulu bese begcina belwisana 

56

nemvelo. Ngalokhoke abantu kufanele bahambisane nemvelo futhi bayihole 

ukuze kubekhona intuthuko, kepha kufanele benze njengoMdali, ngenhlakanipho 

nothando, kanye nokuhlonipha imvelo. 

UPhapha uJohn Paul II, Centesimus Annus, 37 

Impahla yomuntu ayisilona ilungelo eliphelele, kepha ngokwalo kufanele 

lisetshenziswe ngokulinganayo kubantu bonke balomhlaba. NgokobuKrestu 

sinokuthi, ukulinywa komhlaba kanye nokwengamela kwabantu imvelo 

kufanele kuthathwe njengendlela yokunikeza ukudla kubantu kanye 

nokuguqula umhlaba ubeyisinkwa somuntu wonke, ikakhulu abampofu. 

Ngalokhoke sibizelwe kwizimo ezahlukene zepolitiki, zenhlalo nezomnotho – 

ukuchaza esizukulwaneni samanje nesenkathi ezayo ngokusebenzisa kwethu 

umhlaba okufanelekile. 

Umbiko we Day of Thanksgiving for the Gifts of Creation 

yango Novemba 2000 

Buyelani emaqenjini nixoxe ngokulandelayo 

• Yimuphi umbiko owutholile emazwini acashuniwe? 

• NjengamaKrestu kungabe sikholwa ukuthi nanoma yiziphi izinto 

noma izindlela zentuntutho zikulungele ukusetshenziswa ukuqiniseka 

ukuthi bonke abantu bayakuthola ukudla? 

• Yikuphi ocabanga ukuthi kufanele kube ngumhlahlandlela ezinokulunga 

olungile, okufanele kulandelwe lapho kusetshenziswa 

nanoma yibuphi ubuchwepheshe? 

Siyazi ukuthi umbuso esiwunikwe nguMdali awusiwona amandla 

aphelele okusebenzisa izinto zemvelo ngokuthanda kwethu. UNkulunkulu 

wabeka umuntu ensimini yase-Edene ukuba ayilime futhi ayigcine 

(uGenesise 2: 15). Lapho sibhekene nodaba lwezilimo zokuzenzela 

kumele sikhumbule ukuthi asiphethwe kuphela yimithetho 

yezemvelo, kepha neyezokulunga engeke yephulwa. Kunemibuzo 

eminingi ngezilimo kanye nokudla kokuzenzela,okuyimibuzo esadingidwayo. 

Kumele sijoyine abathengi, abalimi, ososayensi nezazi 

zemvelo abanokukhathazeka ngobuchwepheshe obungahloliwe ngokwanele 

obusetshenziswa kulezizilimo. Futhi kumele sikhumbule 

ukuthi sinikezwe umsebenzi wokulima umhlaba futhi siwunakekele. 

Sonke kufanele sinakekele imikhiqizo yomhlaba njengoba kwenza 

uNkulunkulu. 

Ukulima ngokusebenzisa umanyolo wemvelo hhayi owokuzakhela 

kungcono ngoba kubhekela imvelo kanye nezimpilo zabalimi abancane. 

Lokhu kufanele kuhlolisiswe futhi kukhuthazwe ngomfutho 

ofanayo.

Inkonzo: Ukuhlela 

Emuva kokujula ndawonye, kuhle ukukhuleka ndawonye njengesiko 

lethu lobuKrestu. Inselelo esibhekene nayo inzima. Asikhulekele 

uMoya oNgcwele kaNkulunkulu ukuthi ufike usisize emkhulekweni. 

Inkonzo elandelayo ingalusizo ekuhleleni umgubho wangeSonto 

ngaphansi kwesiqubulo sokudla kokuzenzela. 

Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngaphambi kweSonto lokugubha iLitheji, 

iqembu labagqugquzeli kufanele lizilungiselele endlini yesonto lapho 

bezobonisa khona ngeSonto. 

Futhi kumele lihlobise indlu yesonto ngezingwembe, amafulegi, 

izimbali, izimpawu ezithile, umbukiso webhalo esikwe kumaphephandaba 

kanye nokukhetha amahubo afanele iLitheji. 

INKONZO 


Ukubingelela nesandulelo 

Umholi wamukela abantu abakhona futhi uyachaza ukuthi lena 

yiLitheji eyisipesheli ngesiqubulo sobulungiswa bezemvelo. 


Umholi uqala umgubho weLitheji ngomkhuleko owakha isimo 

sokwamukelana eGameni likaNkulunkulu nasesikweni lobuKrestu 

ukuze sibhekelele ngothando nobulungiswa. Sikhulekela ukuthi 

sisebenzise izimfanelo zomhlaba ngokuthi kusizakale abantu futhi 

kuvikeleke ezemvelo. 

IZIFUNDO ZEBHAYIBHELI 

Isifundo: Mathewu 7:15 –20 

Xwayani abaprofethi bamanga; abeza kini bembathise okwezimvu, 

kepha ngaphakathi bayizimpisi eziphangayo. Niyokubazi ngezithelo 

zabo. Kungakhiwa yini izithelo zomvini emeveni noma amakhiwane 

ekhakhasini na? Kunjalo yilowo nalowo muthi uthela izithalo ezinhle, 

kepha umuthi omubi uthela izithelo ezimbi. Yilowo nalowo muthi 

ongatheli izithelo ezinhle uyanqunywa uphonswe emlilweni. Njaloke 

niyakubazi ngezithelo zabo.

Ukuzindla ngokufundiwe 

Amaphuzu omholi – Bheka nansi eminye imibono inikezwe ngezansi 

ukuze ulungiselele inkulumo yakho. 

1. Ngoba asazi ukuthi kungadaleka ingozi engakanani kwimvelo 

noma ezimpilweni zabantu ngalobubuchwepheshe, ukukhiqiza 

ukudla kokuzakhela sikubona kungenakho ukulunga. 

2. Akusikhona konke okucwebezelayo okuligolide. 

3. Ningabesabi abantu; ngokuba akukho okumboziwe okungayikwambulwa 

nokufihliweyo okungayikwaziwa (Mathewu 10:26). 

AmaHubo 91:1–3 

Yena owakhile ekusithekeni koPhezukonke, nohlezi emthinzini kaSomandla 

uthi uJehova: Uyisiphephelo sami nenqaba yami noNkulunkulu wami engimethembayo. 

Ngokuba yena uyakukhipha ogibeni lomcuphi nasobhadaneni olubhubhisayo. 

Imikhuleko yokuphetha 

Unokufisa ukuzifakela okwakho kwiLitheji ngokwesiko lomphakathi 

webandla lakho emuva kokufunda imibhalo engcwele, noma ungaphetha 

ngemikhuleko embalwa yokuhawukela kanye nomkhuleko 

wokugcina.
