KumaHebheru 4:1-16
4 Ngakho njengoba sisesekhona isithembiso sokungena ekuphumuleni kwakhe, asinanzeleleni* kungabi lomunye wenu ongakhanya esesilela kuso+
2 ngoba izindaba ezinhle sezitshunyayelwe lakithi+ njengoba nje zatshunyayelwa kubo. Kodwa ilizwi abalizwayo alibancedanga ngenxa yokuthi babengelakholo lunye lalabo abalalelayo.
3 Thina esitshengise ukuthi silokholo siyangena kulokho kuphumula njengoba wathi: “Ngakho ngafunga ngithukuthele ngathi, ‘Abasoze bangene ekuphumuleni kwami,’”+ lanxa imisebenzi yakhe yayisiphelile kusukela ekusungulweni komhlaba.+
4 Phela komunye umbhalo wakhuluma ngosuku lwesikhombisa wathi: “UNkulunkulu waphumula emisebenzini yakhe yonke ngosuku lwesikhombisa,”+
5 wasephinda wathi: “Abasoze bangene ekuphumuleni kwami.”+
6 Labo izindaba ezinhle ezatshunyayelwa kubo kuqala behluleka ukungena ekuphumuleni ngenxa yokungalaleli.+ Kodwa kuseselabanye abazangena ekuphumuleni lokho.
7 Yikho uNkulunkulu waphinda wakhetha elinye ilanga ngokukhuluma sekwedlule isikhathi eside kuhubo likaDavida esithi, “Lamuhla,” njengoba nje sekutshiwo phezulu, “Kwangathi lingalalela ilizwi lakhe lamuhla, lingazenzi zibe lukhuni inhliziyo zenu.”+
8 Aluba uJoshuwa+ wayebakhokhele wabasa endaweni yokuphumula, uNkulunkulu wayengeke akhulume ngelinye ilanga ngemva kwalokho.
9 Ngakho abantu bakaNkulunkulu basalelwe yikuphumula kwesabatha+
10 ngoba umuntu osengene ekuphumuleni kukaNkulunkulu, laye usephumule kweyakhe imisebenzi njengoba nje loNkulunkulu waphumula kweyakhe.+
11 Yikho-ke kasenzeni konke okusemandleni ethu ukuthi singene kulokho kuphumula ukuze kungabi lomuntu olingisela labobantu ababengalaleli.+
12 Ilizwi likaNkulunkulu liyaphila njalo lilamandla,+ libukhali ukwedlula loba yiphi inkemba esika inxa zombili+ futhi lihlaba lize lehlukanise umphefumulo* lomoya,* amathambo* lomnkantsho njalo liyenelisa ukuveza imicabango lenhloso zenhliziyo.
13 Kanti njalo akulanto edaliweyo efihlakeleyo phambi kwakhe,+ kodwa zonke izinto ziyakhanya futhi zisegcekeni emehlweni alowo okumele silandise kuye.+
14 Njengoba silomphristi omkhulu kakhulu ongene emazulwini, uJesu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu,+ asibambeleleni kulokho kumvuma kwethu ebantwini.+
15 Umphristi omkhulu esilaye uyasizwela ebuthakathakeni bethu+ ngenxa yokuthi laye walingwa kukho konke njengathi, kodwa yena kalasono.+
16 Ngakho kasisondeleni esihlalweni sobukhosi somusa omkhulu silenkululeko yokukhuluma+ ukuze samukele isihawu lomusa omkhulu, okuzasinceda ngesikhathi esifaneleyo.
