Indaba 13: U-Abrahama—Umngani KaZimu
ENYE indawo abantu abafudukela kiyo ngemva kwakaKhukhulamungu yi-Uri. Idorobheli laba ngeliqakathekileko begodu linemizi emihle. Kodwana abantu lapho gade bakhulekela abosingazimu, okuyindlela egade benza ngayo eBhabhele. Abantu be-Uri neBhabhele gade bangafani noNuwa nendodanakhe uShemi, egade bakhulekela uJehova.
Ngemva kweemnyaka eyi-350 adlulile ukhukhulamungu, uNuwa othembekileko wafa. Indoda oyibona esithombeni le, yabelethwa eemnyakeni eembili ngemva kwalokho. Bekuyindoda ethandwa nguZimu. Ibizo layo ngu-Abrahama. Gade ahlala nomndenakhe edorobheni le-Uri.
Langelinye uJehova watjela u-Abrahama: ‘Phuma e-Uri neenhlotjeni zakho, uye ezweni engizokutshengisa lona.’ U-Abrahama wamlalela na uZimu watjhiya ngemva umnotho we-Uri? Iye, wamlalela. U-Abrahama waziwa njengomngani kaZimu ngombana gade amlalela ngaso soke isikhathi.
Abanye bomndeni ka-Abrahama, uyise uThera, umzukulwanakhe uLoti, nomkakhe uSara bakhamba naye nekasuka e-Uri. Boke bafika eHarana lapho uThera afela khona. Gade bakude ne-Uri.
Ngemva kwesikhatjhana u-Abrahama nomndenakhe bafuduka eHarana baya eKanana. Kulapho uJehova athi ku-Abrahama: ‘Izweli ngizolinikela abantwana bakho.’ EKanana u-Abrahama gade ahlala ematendeni.
UZimu warhelebha u-Abrahama waba nomhlambi omkhulu wezimvu, neenlwana ezinengi ezifuywako, namakhulu weemberegi. Kodwana yena noSara gade banganabo abantwana.
U-Abrahama nakaneemnyaka eyi-99, uJehova wathi kuye: ‘Ngithembisa bonyana uzokuba ngubaba wezizwe ezinengi.’ Beyizokwenzeka njani intweleyo ngombana uAbrahama noSara gade sele baluphele khulu bona bangaba nabantwana?
