Eya KumaHebheru 3:1-19
3 Ngebanga lalokho, bafowethu abacwengileko, bahlanganyeli bokubizwa* kwezulwini,+ cabangani ngompostoli nomphristi ophakemeko esimvumako, uJesu.+
2 Wathembeka kiloyo ombekileko+ njengombana noMosi bekanjalo kiyo yoke indlu kaZimu.+
3 Nje-ke yena* uqalwa njengofanelwe yiphazimulo+ ukudlula uMosi ngombana loyo owakha indlu udunyiswa ukudlula indlu ngokwayo.
4 Kwamambala, enye nenye indlu yakhiwe ngothileko kodwana owakhe zoke izinto nguZimu.
5 Nje-ke uMosi bekasisebenzi esithembekileko kiyo yoke indlu kaZimu njengobufakazi bezinto ebezizokukhulunywa ngemva kwalokho
6 kodwana uKrestu bekathembekile njengendodana+ phezu kwendlu kaZimu. Kwamambala siyindlwakhe+ nangabe sikakarele etjhaphulukwenethu yokukhuluma nethemba esizikhakhazisa ngalo bekube sekupheleni.
7 Yeke njengombana ummoya ocwengileko utjho,+ “Namhlanjesi nanilalela ilizwi lakhe,
8 ningaqinisi iinhliziyo zenu njengalokha nakubangwa ilaka elikhulu nanjengelanga lokulingwa emmangweni,+
9 lapho abokhokho benu abangilinga khona naphezu kokubona imisebenzami iminyaka ema-40.+
10 Kungakho ngasinyenya isizukulwanesi bengathi: ‘Basolo baphambuka eenhliziyweni zabo begodu abakazazi iindlela zami.’
11 Yeke ngafunga ngisilingekile ngathi: ‘Angekhe bangene ekuphumuleni kwami.’”+
12 Yelelani, bafowethu ngombana ngiyasaba ukuthi kungenzeka kinanyana ngubani wenu kwakheke ihliziyo embi enganakukholwa ngokutjhida kuZimu ophilako+
13 kodwana hlalani nikhuthazana qobe langa, ikani nakusathiwa “Kunamhlanjesi”+ bona kungabi namunye wenu owenziwa lukhuni mamandla akhohlisako wesono.
14 Ngombana kuhlekuhle siba bahlanganyeli bakaKrestu kwaphela nasikukakarela bekube sekupheleni ukuqiniseka ebesinakho ekuthomeni.+
15 Njengombana kutjhiwo ukuthi, “Namhlanjesi nanilalela ilizwi lakhe, ningaqinisi iinhliziyo zenu njengalokha kubangwa ilaka elikhulu.”+
16 Ngombana bobani abezwako kodwana bambangela ilaka elikhulu? Kghani bekungasingilabo abaphuma eGibhide ngaphasi kwakaMosi na?+
17 Ngaphezu kwalokho, uZimu wanyenyiswa bobani iminyaka ema-40?+ Kghani bekungasingilabo abonako, labo abafela emmangweni?+
18 Wafunga kibobani ukuthi angekhe bangene ekuphumuleni kwakhe? Bekungasikilabo abangakhenge balalele na?
19 Nje-ke siyabona ukuthi bebangekhe bangene ngebanga lokungakholwa.+
