Uyakunika uJakobe ukuth embeka no -Abrahama umus a owakufungela obaba kwasezinsukwini zasendulo.

Incwadi yokuzalwa kukaJesu Kristu , indodana kaDavide , indodana ka - Abrahama.

U-Abrahama wazala u -Isaka, u-Isaka wazala uJakobe , uJakobe wazala uJuda nabafowabo;

Zinjalo-ke izizukulwane zonke ezisukela ku -Abrahama ziye kuDavide , ziyizizukulwane eziyishumi nane ; nezisukela kuDavide ziye ekuthunjelweni eBabiloni ziyizizukulwane eziyishumi nane ; nezisukela ekuthunjelweni eBabiloni ziye kuKristu ziyizizukulwane eziyishumi nane.

Mina nginguNkulunkulu ka -Abrahama, noNkulunkulu ka -Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe , na? Akasiye uNkulunkulu wabafileyo kodwa owabaphilayo.

Kepha maqondana nabafileyo ukuthi bayavuswa anifundanga yini encwadini kaMose ngesihlahla ukuthi uNkulunkulu wakhuluma kuye , wathi: NginguNkulunkulu ka -Abrahama, noNkulunkulu ka -Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe, na?

Lapho kuyakuba khona ukukhala nokugedla amazinyo , nxa senibon a o - Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe, nabaprofethi bonke embusweni kaNkulunkulu, kepha nina nikhishelwe ngaphandle.

Kwase kuthi wafa ompofu , wathwalwa yizingelosi, wasiwa esifubeni sika- Abrahama; nesicebi safa, sembelwa.

SesiseHayidese saphakamisa amehlo aso , sisebuhlungwini, sambona u - Abrahama ekude, noLazaru esesifubeni sakhe.

Samemeza sathi : Baba Abrahama , ngihawukele, uthume uLazaru , agcobhoze isihloko somunwe wakhe ema nzini, aphozise ulimi lwami , ngokuba ngiyahlushwa kuleli langabi.

Kepha u -Abrahama wathi : Ndodana, khumbula ukuba wamukela okuhle kwakho usesekuphileni noLazaru kanjalo okubi ; kodwa manje uyaduduzwa yena lapha, wena uyahlushwa.

Kepha u-Abrahama wathi: BanoMose nabaprofethi; mabezwe bona.

Sathi-ke: Qha, baba Abrahama, kodwa uma kusuka umuntu kwabafileyo , aye kubo, bayakuphenduka.

UJesu wathi kuye : Namuhla insindiso ifikile kule ndlu , lokhu naye eyindodana ka-Abrahama.

Kepha ukuthi bayavuswa abafile yo, noMose wakubonakalisa esihlahleni , lapho eyibiza iNkosi ngokuthi uNkulunkulu ka -Abrahama, noNkulunkulu ka- Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe.

Ongithumileyo unami , kangishiyanga ngedwa , ngokuba ngenza njalo okuthandeka kuye. UJesu uphendulana nabaJuda ngo-Abrahama

Bamphendula bathi : Siyinzalo ka-Abrahama thina , asibonange sibe yizigqila zamuntu; wena usho kanjani ukuth i: Nizakuba ngabakhululekileyo na?

Ngiyazi ukuthi niyinzalo ka -Abrahama; kepha nifuna ukungibulala , ngokuba izwi lami lingenandawo kini.

Baphendula, bathi kuye : Ubaba ngu -Abrahama. UJesu wathi kubo : Uma beningabantwana baka-Abrahama; beniyakwenza imisebenzi ka-Abrahama.

Kodwa kalokhu nifuna ukungibulala mina muntu onitshele iqiniso , engilizwe kuNkulunkulu; u-Abrahama kakwenzanga lokho.

Bathi kuye abaJuda : Manje sesiyazi ukuthi unedemoni ; u-Abrahama wafa, nabaprofethi; wena-ke uthi : U ma umuntu e gcina izwi lami , kasoze akuzwa ukufa naphakade.

Wena umkhulu yini kunobaba u -Abrahama osewafa na ? Nabaprofethi sebafa. Uzenza bani na?

U-Abrahama uyihlo wathokozela ukubona usuku lwami , walubona, wajabula.

Base bethi kuye abaJuda : Awukabi naminyaka engamashumi ayisihlanu , kanti u-Abrahama usuke wambona na?

UJesu wathi kubo : Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini : Engakabikho u - Abrahama, ngangikhona mina.

UNkulunkulu ka -Abrahama noka -Isaka nokaJakobe , uNkulunkulu wawobaba bethu uyidumisile iNceku yakhe uJesu enayikhaphela , nayiphika ebusweni bukaPilatu, yena esenqumile ukuyikhulula;

Nina ningamadodana abaprofethi nawesivumelwano uN kulunkulu asenzayo nawoyihlo, ethi ku -Abrahama: Ngenzalo yakho iyakubusiswa imindeni yonke yomhlaba.

Yena wathi : Madoda, bazalwane, nani bobaba, lalelani. UNkulunkulu wenkazimulo wabonakala kubaba u -Abrahama eseMesopotamiya, engakakhi eHarana,

Bayiswa eSikemi, babekwa ethuneni alithenga u-Abrahama ngenani lesiliva kumadodana kaHamori eSikemi.

Kepha sesisondele isikhathi sesithembiso uNkulunkulu asisho ku - Abrahama, banda abantu, baba baningi eGibithe,

NginguNkulunkulu wawoyihlo , uNkulunkulu ka -Abrahama noka -Isaka nokaJakobe. UMose wathuthumela, akaba nasibindi sokubhekisisa.

Madoda, bazalwane, madodana ohlanga luka -Abrahama, nabaphakathi kwenu abamesabayo uNkulunkulu, izwi lale nsindiso lithunyelwe kithi.

Ngakho-ke siyakuthi uzuzeni u -Abrahama, ukhokho wethu , ngokwenyama na?

Ngokuba uma u-Abrahama walungisiswa ngemisebenzi, unakho ukuzibonga; kodwa phambi kukaNkulunkulu qha.

Ngokuba umbhalo uthini na ? Uthi: Kepha u -Abrahama wakholwa nguNkulunkulu, kwambalelwa ukuthi kungukulunga.

ubusisiwe umuntu iNkosi engayikumbalela isono. U-Abrahama wamukeliswa isithembiso ngokukholwa.

Ngakho-ke lokhu kubusiswa kuqondene nabasokile noma nabangasokile na ? Ngokuba sithi: Ukukholwa kwabalelwa u-Abrahama ukuthi kungukulunga.

futhi abe nguyise wabasokileyo , kungabi ngowabasokileyo kuphela, kepha nowabo abahamba emkhondweni wokukholwa ubaba u -Abrahama ayenakho engakasoki.

Ngokuba isithembiso sokuthi uyakuba yindlalifa yezwe asinik wanga u - Abrahama nenzalo yakhe ngawo umthetho kodwa ngokulunga kokukholwa.

Ngalokho kuya ngokukholwa ukuba kube ngokomusa , ukuze isithembiso siqiniseke enzalweni yonke , kungabi kweyomthetho yodwa kodwa nakuleyo engeyokukholwa kuka-Abrahama ongubaba wethu sonke,

nakuba beyinzalo ka-Abrahama, bonke abasibo abantwana, kodwa kuthiwa: Ngo-Isaka iyakubizwa inzalo yakho.

Ngalokho ngithi : UNkulunkulu usilahlile isizwe sakhe na ? Qha nakanye , ngokuba nami ngingumIsrayeli , wenzalo ka -Abrahama, wesizwe sakwaBenjamini.

BangamaHeberu na ? Nami. Bangaba-Israyeli na ? Nami. Bayinzalo ka - Abrahama na? Nami.

Njengalokho u -Abrahama wakholwa nguNkulunkulu , kwabalelwa kuye ukuthi ngukulunga.

Yazini-ke ukuthi abokukholwa yibona abangamadodana ka-Abrahama.

Kepha umbhalo , ubona ngaphambili ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzakulungisisa abezizwe ngokukholwa, walishumayela ngaphambili ivangeli ku-Abrahama, wathi: Izizwe zonke ziyakubusiswa kuwe.

Njalo-ke abokukholwa bayabusiswa kanye no-Abrahama okholwayo.

ukuba isibusiso sika-Abrahama ngoKristu Jesu sifike kubo abezizwe, ukuze samukeliswe isithembiso sikaMoya ngokukholwa. Isithembiso asichithwa ngumthetho

Manje-ke izithembiso zanikwa u -Abrahama nenzalo yakhe; akasho ukuthi: Ezinzalweni, kungathi ngeziningi , kepha kungathi ngeyodwa ukuthi : Nasenzalweni yakho enguKristu.

ngokuba uma ifa likhona ngomthetho, alikho ngesithembiso ; kepha uNkulunkulu umnikile lona u-Abrahama ngesithembiso.

Kepha uma ningabakaKristu , seniyinzalo ka -Abrahama, niyizindlalifa ngokwesithembiso.

Ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi u -Abrahama wayenamadodana amabili, enye kuso isigqilakazi nenye kokhululekileyo.

Ngokuba akahlangulisi izingelosi, kodwa uhlangulisa inzalo ka-Abrahama.

Ngokuba lapho uNkulunkulu wamthembisa u -Abrahama, wazifunga yena, lokhu kungekho omkhulu kunaye angamfunga,

Ngokuba uMelkisedeki lo , inkosi yaseSalema , umpristi kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, owahlangabeza u -Abrahama mhla ebuya ekubulaleni amakhosi, wambusisa;

u-Abrahama wamabela okweshumi kukho konke yena ogama lakhe lithi kuqala ukuhunyushwa kwalo inkosi yokulunga , bese kuba yinkosi yaseSalema, okungukuthi inkosi yokuthula,

Qondani-ke ukuthi ungakanani yena owanikwa okweshumi kwempango ngu- Abrahama ukhokho.

Nalabo bamadodana kaLevi abamukeliswa ubupristi banomyalo wokuthatha okweshumi kubantu ngokomthetho , okungukuthi kubafowabo , ingani baphume okhalweni luka-Abrahama;

kepha yena ongabalwa ozalweni lwabo uthathile okweshumi ku -Abrahama, wambusisa lowo onezithembiso.

Futhi kungathiwa noLevi owamukela okweshumi watheliswa okweshumi ngaye u-Abrahama,

Ngokukholwa u -Abrahama walalela ebizwa ukuba aphume aye endaweni abezakuyamukeliswa ibe yifa lakhe; waphuma engazi lapho eya khona.

Ngokukholwa u -Abrahama evivinywa wanikela ngo -Isaka, yebo, yena owayamukele izithembiso, wanikela ngozelwe yedwa wakhe,

U-Abrahama ubaba wayengalungisiswa yini ngemisebenzi enikela ngendodana yakhe u-Isaka e-altare na?

kwagcwaliseka umbhalo othi : Kepha u -Abrahama wakholwa nguNkulunkulu, kwabalelwa kuye ukuthi kungukulunga , wabizwa ngokuthi umhlobo kaNkulunkulu.

njengalokho uSara wamlalela u -Abrahama embiza ngokuthi inkosi , eningabantwana bakhe , uma nenza okuhle , ningesatshiswa nokukodwa okwesabisayo.
