Eya KumaHebheru 6:1-20
6 Nje-ke njengombana sesidlulile efundisweni esisekelo+ ngoKrestu, asirageleni phambili ngetjiseko ekuvuthweni,+ singabeki isisekelo godu okutjho, ukutjhuguluka emisebenzini efileko nokukholwa kuZimu,
2 ifundiso ngemihlobo ehlukahlukeneko yebhajadiso nokubekwa kwezandla,+ ukuvuswa kwabafileko+ nesahlulelo sasafuthi.
3 Sizokwenza lokhu nangabe kwamambala uZimu uyavuma.
4 Ngombana ngokuphathelene nalabo ekhebakhanyiselwa+ nabanambithe isipho sezulwini sesihle nababe bahlanganyeli bommoya ocwengileko
5 begodu abanambithe ilizwi lakaZimu elihle namandla wephasi elizako
6 kodwana abawileko,+ akukghoneki ukuthi bavuselelwe bona babuye batjhuguluke ngebanga lokuthi babethela iNdodana kaZimu esigodweni godu bayembula bona ihlaziseke tjhatjhalazi.+
7 Ngombana ihlabathi ifumana isibusiso kuZimu nayimunya amanzi wezulu eliyinela qobe bese iveze iintjalo ezilisizo kilabo elinyelwa bona.
8 Kodwana nayiveza ameva nekhula, iyahlobokwa begodu isengozini yokuqalekiswa, emaswapheleni izokutjhiswa.
9 Kodwana ngokuphathelene nani, bathandekako, siqiniseka ngezinto ezingcono, izinto ezihlobene nesindiso, ngitjho nanyana sikhuluma ngendlela le.
10 Ngombana uZimu akasimumbi bona angakhohlwa umsebenzenu nethando enilitjengise egameni lakhe+ ngokusiza abacwengileko nokuragela phambili nibasiza.
11 Kodwana sifisa bona ngamunye wenu akhuthale ngendlela efanako ukuthi nibe nesiqinisekiso esizeleko sethemba+ bekube sekupheleni+
12 bona ningavilaphi+ kodwana nibe balingisi balabo abazuza iinthembiso njengelifa ngokukholwa nangokubekezela.
13 Lokha uZimu nakenza isithembiso ku-Abrahama njengombana bekangekhe afunge ngomunye omkhulu kunaye, wazifunga yena,+
14 wathi: “Ngizokubusisa, ngizokwenza isizukulwana sakho sibe sinengi.”+
15 Nje-ke ngemva kobana u-Abrahama abekezele, wafumana isithembiswesi.
16 Ngombana abantu bafunga ngothileko ongaphezu kwabo begodu isifungo sabo sisiphetho sananyana ngiyiphi ipikiswano ngebanga lokuthi sisiqinisekiso esingokomthetho kibo.+
17 Ngendlela efanako le, uZimu nakaqunta ukukwenza kube semtarini ukungatjhuguluki komnqophwakhe* eendlalifeni zesithembiso,+ wakuqinisekisa ngesifungo,
18 bona kuthi ngezinto ezimbili engeze zatjhuguluka okungekhe kwenzeka bona uZimu aleye amala+ ngazo, thina esibalekele esiphephelweni sifumane isikhuthazo esinamandla sokukakarela ethembeni elibekwe phambi kwethu.
19 Sinethembeli+ elinjenge-ankera yomphefumulo,* liqinisekile begodu lidzimelele, lingena ngaphakathi kwerharideni,+
20 lapho kungene khona ngebanga lethu ihlahlandlela, uJesu,+ obe mphristi ophakemeko ngokungapheliko ngokwendlela kaMelkizedeki.+
