“NdinguYehova. Ligama lam elo. Ubukhulu bam andibuniki namnye, nozuko lwam andiluniki imifanekiso eqingqiweyo.”—Isaya 42:8, INguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha.
“NdiyiNKOSI: lilo elo igama lam: andiluniki omnye uzuko lwam, nendumiso yam andiyiniki imifanekiso eqingqiweyo.”—Isaya 42:8, King James Version.
Into ethethwa nguIsaya 42:8
UThixo usichazela igama lakhe ibe uchaza nokuba akaluniki izithixo uzuko lwakhe, singenakumkhonza sisebenzisa zona.
UThixo wazinika eli gama, ibe liguqulelwa ngesiXhosa ngokuthi “Yehova.” a (Eksodus 3:14, 15) Nangona igama lakhe livela amaxesha aphantse abe yi-7 000 kwiTestamente Endala (kwiZibhalo ZesiHebhere ZesiAramiki), abaguquleli abaninzi baye balisusa baza bafakela isibizo esithi “NKOSI.” Umzekelo ukwiNdumiso 110:1, eprofeta ngoYehova noYesu. I-King James Version, ithi: “INKOSI [uYehova] yathi kwiNkosi yam [uYesu].” (IZenzo 2:34-36) INguqulelo YeHlabathi Elitsha isusa nantoni na enokwenza kubekho ukubhideka phakathi “kweeNkosi” ezimbini ngokufaka igama likaThixo kwindawo efanelekileyo. Ithi: “UYehova wathi eNkosini yam: ‘Hlala ngasekunene kwam de iintshaba zakho ndizenze zibe yindawo yokubeka iinyawo zakho.’”
Ababhali abaninzi bakholelwa ukuba igama likaThixo lithetha ukuba “Ubangela Kubekho.” Eli gama lifanele uThixo oyinyaniso kuphela, kuba nguye qha onokubangela yena nendalo yakhe ibe yiyo nantoni na ukuze kwenzeke injongo yakhe.
Ekubeni uYehova enguMdali wethu noThixo oyinyaniso, nguye kuphela esifanele sizinikele kuye ngokupheleleyo. Akukho mntu nanto efanelwe lunqulo lwethu, ibe oku kuquka izithixo nemifanekiso.—Eksodus 20:2-6; 34:14; 1 Yohane 5:21.
Into ekuthethwa ngayo kuIsaya 42:8
Kwiivesi zokuqala kuIsaya isahluko 42, uYehova wachaza kwangaphambili ngomsebenzi walowo ‘amkhethileyo.’ UThixo uthi ngalo mkhonzi umvuyisayo, “uza kuzizisela ubulungisa iintlanga.” (Isaya 42:1) Ngokuphathelele esi sithembiso, uThixo uthi: “Ngoku ndixela izinto ezintsha. Ndinazisa zona ngaphambi kokuba zivele.” (Isaya 42:9) Isiprofeto ngalowo ‘ukhethiweyo’ senzeka kwiminyaka emininzi kamva, xa uMesiya okanye uKristu wafika emhlabeni ezokwenza umsebenzi wakhe wokushumayela.—Mateyu 3:16, 17; 12:15-21.
