Imibhalo yeLigugu Apha

 

PHA kwakungasoloko kububutshaba phakathi kukaFaro namaSirayeli. Uyakhumbula xa uYosefu wayephathiswe uFaro ukuba anike ingqolowa kulo lonke elaseJiphutha? Ngelo xesha, amaSirayeli ayebonwa njengelungelo kunye nentsikelelo kwilizwe.

Ngokunjalo, bekukho ixesha apho iCawa yathathwa njengenzuzo eluntwini, xa imisebenzi yakhe yesisa yokwakha izibhedlele, izikolo, amakhaya eenkedama, kunye neminye imibutho yesisa yamkelwa nguRhulumente. Ngapha koko, inkolo ibonwa njengempembelelo eluntwini encedise ekuqondiseni kungekuphela indlela yokuziphatha kukaRhulumente, kodwa yabumba kwaye yabumba abantu, iintsapho kunye noluntu olukhokelela kuluntu olunoxolo nolungileyo.

Kodwa wafa uFaro.

Kwavela ukumkani omtsha, owayengazi nto ngoYosefu, walawula eYiputa. Wathi ebantwini bakhe, Yabonani! Abantu bakwaSirayeli baye banda baza baba baninzi kunathi! Yizani sibalumkise, sithintele ulwando lwabo… ( Eksodus 1:8-10 )

Ngokunjalo, kwixesha lethu, kuye kwavela isizukulwana esitsha ‘esiyilibeleyo’ impembelelo entle nenamandla yobuKristu kwibutho labantu. Bafana nabantu abame elunxwemeni, bebona kuphela isiphelo sommandla wabo osikelwe umda kunokuba babone ulwandlekazi olukhulu lwembali engaphaya. Kwaye ke, banyula iinkokeli eziyibona iCawa njengamandla ekumele kusetyenzwe ngawo “ngobuchule” ukuze kunqandwe ukwanda kwayo. Kanye njengokuba kwathabatha izizukulwana ezininzi ukuba iYiputa izilibale iintsikelelo eziziswa nguSirayeli kuhlanga lwazo, ngoko ke, kuye kwathabatha iinkulungwane ukufikelela kwindawo esikuyo namhlanje apho uRhulumente unentiyo yokwenene kwimilinganiselo yokuziphatha yamaYuda namaKristu.

Njengoko uPope Benedict wathi,

... ukuhlalutywa kobuKristu… kwaqala ngoKhanya kwaye kwakhula ngokuthe ngcembe... -Deus caritas Est, n. I-3

Kwincwadi yam, Imbonakalo yokuGqibela, esi sigxeko ngenene yayisisiqalo songquzulwano lokugqibela phakathi kukaSathana, “inamba”, kunye neBandla, “umfazi”, njengoko kufanekiselwa kwiSityhilelo 12. Kuba ukuKhanya kwazalwa ngenkulungwane ye-16 kunye nentanda-bulumko. ubuqhetseba, nto leyo eyakhokelela ekubeni “ziingcamango” ezingakumbi ezichasene neCawa, kangangokuba namhlanje sifikelele “kubuKomanisi obutsha” obuthi ngokusisiseko budibanise zonke “iingcamango” eziphambi kwabo. ^[1]cf. Ukuqonda iMfazwe yokuGqibela “Ukwahlulwa kweCawa noRhulumente” ngoku kuye kwahambela phambili ukusa apho uRhulumente aqhubela phambili ngenkuthalo ukuze aliphelise ngokupheleleyo ilizwi leCawa ngenkqubo yokugweba. Njengoko enye i-lobbyist isitsho:

…siqikelela ukuba umtshato wamafanasini ngokwenene uya kukhokelela ekukhuleni kokwamkelwa kobufanasini ngoku kuqhubekayo… Kodwa ukulingana kwemitshato nako kuya kuba negalelo ekulahlweni kweenkolo eziyityhefu, kukhululwe uluntu kucalucalulo nentiyo engcolise isiko ixesha elide… -Kevin Bourassa kunye noJoe Varnell, Ukucoca iNkolo enetyhefu eCanada; NgoJanuwari 18, 2005; EGALE (UkuLingana kwamaGays kunye namaLesbians kuyo yonke indawo)

Ngaloo ndlela sifikelele kwinqanaba elinzima, njengoko uJohn Paul II watshoyo ngoSuku lweHlabathi loLutsha ngowe-1993:

Lo mzabalazo ungqamana nomlo we-apocalyptic ochazwe [kwiSityhilelo]. Amadabi okufa ngokuchasene noBomi: “inkcubeko yokufa” ifuna ukuzinyanzelela kumnqweno wethu wokuphila, nokuphila ngokupheleleyo… Amacandelo amaninzi oluntu abhidekile malunga nokulungileyo nokubi, kwaye afumana inceba yabo amandla "okudala" uluvo kwaye alunyanzelise kwabanye. -UAPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Cherry Creek State Park Homily, eDenver, eColorado, ngo-1993

Yaye ke, njengamaSirayeli, uThixo ulungiselela ukuzisa abantu Bakhe “kwilizwe ledinga” elitsha—iXesha Loxolo ngaphambi kokuphela kwehlabathi. ^[2]cf. Kutheni iliXesha Loxolo? Kodwa njengamaSirayeli emi ngakuLwandle oluBomvu, kuya kufika ixesha apho iBandla liya kubonakala lixinene macala onke. Yaye nangoku, wambi amaKatolika avakalelwa kukuba uPopu uye wakhokelela iCawa kwintshabalalo ngokunxulumana nenzululwazi “yokufudumala kwehlabathi,” exhaswa ziingcamango “ezinxamnye nabantu” ezininzi. Ke ngoko, banomsindo, njengokuba abantu bavakalelwa kuMoses kufundo lokuqala lwanamhlanje.

Kutheni usenze lento? Yini na ukuba usikhuphe eYiputa? (ukufunda okokuqala)

Ngokwenene, abanye bayabuza ukuba kutheni iCawa iye yaphambuka kwisigunyaziso sayo ukuya kumhlaba ongengowayo. Kuba njengoko uYesu watshoyo, “Ubukumkani bam asibubo obeli hlabathi.” ^[3]cf. Yohane 18:36

...icawa ayinabo ubungcaphephe obukhethekileyo kwisayensi. Ibandla alinagunya livela eNkosini lokuvakalisa kwimiba yenzululwazi. Sikholelwa kukuzimela kwenzululwazi. — UKhadinali uGeorge Pell, oyiNtloko yezeMali yaseVatican, ngoJulayi 17, 2015; washingpost.com

Kungathi abantu bakaThixo bemi, kwihlabathi liphela ngoku, phambi komlomo wentshutshiso, ngokwenene ukufela ukholo.

Yathi inamba leyo yema phambi komfazi owayeza kuzala, ukuba imgqibe umntwana wakhe, xa athe wazala. ( ISityhilelo 12:4 )

Kodwa kulapho iNkosi yembali iphinda isebezela abantwana baYo... Yekani, nazi ukuba ndinguThixo mna. ^[4]cf. Yiza… Hlala  Lixesha lokukholwa kwisithembiso sikaKristu sokuba akayi kulishiya iBandla laKhe, uMtshakazi wakhe.

Wathi uMoses ebantwini, Musani ukoyika; yimani ngxishi, yaye niya kulubona uloyiso uYehova aya kuninika lona… UYehova ngokwakhe uya kunilwela; kufuneka uthule nje.” (ukufunda okokuqala)

Mawethu, singajonga kumaSirayeli sizibuze ukuba emva kokubona imiqondiso nemimangaliso engakholelekiyo yeNkosi, ukusuka kwizibetho ezisixhenxe ukuya kwimiqulu yomlilo nelifu, babenokuthini na ukuthandabuza? Kanti ke, mhlawumbi izizukulwana ezizayo ziya kujonga emva kuthi kwaye zizibuze ukuba, emva kokubona amawaka amabini eminyaka yobomi beBandla obungummangaliso nokusinda kuzo zonke iintshutshiso neembandezelo, singaba sithandabuze njani uThixo ngeli lixa?

Ngomhla womgwebo amadoda aseNineve aya kusuka eme nesi sizukulwana, asigwebe; ngokuba aguquka wona ngomemezo lukaYona; ukanti ke omkhulu kunoYona apha. (UYesu kwiVangeli yanamhlanje)

Kwaye nangona kunjalo, kukho into efanayo mkhulu namhlanje: kuba siye sangqina kwiNtshumayelo, uVuko, kunye nokuNyukela kukaKristu, kunye nokuzalwa nokukhula kweBandla kwiinkulungwane ezidlulileyo, ngoku, e-Asiya naseAfrika; nokuba hayi
w uhlakulela isizukulwana esitsha sababingeleli abathembekileyo neentsapho eziselula; ethi kwanangoku ngokungaqhelekanga ithande ihlabathi elinemvukelo ngesigidimi salo senyaniso.

Ke ngoko, ziphakamiseni phezulu iintloko zenu, bahlobo abathandekayo, nize nazi ukuba iNkosi iya kunilwela (nokuba “kukwizaqhwithi” zenu okanye Uqhwithela olukhulu sijongana ngokuhlangeneyo njengeCawe) ukuba "siyazinza" kwaye silindele ukuba isandla sakhe sihambe. Kodwa kunokuba ifune ukutshabalalisa ihlabathi nabangendawo, iNkosi inqwenela ukuyigubungela “imikhosi kaFaro” ngolwandle lweNceba yobuthixo. ^[5]cf. Isaqhwithi Sisondele

Kumnqophiso omdala ndathumela abaprofeti ababephethe iindudumo kubantu bam. Namhlanje ndikuthumela ngenceba yam ebantwini behlabathi liphela. Andifuni ukohlwaya uluntu olubuhlungu, kodwa ndinqwenela ukuluphilisa, ndiyicinezela kwiNtliziyo yam enenceba. Ndisebenzisa isohlwayo xa bona bendinyanzela ukuba ndenze njalo... —UYesu ukuya eSt Faustina, Inceba kaThixo kuMphefumlo wamIidayari, n. 1588

Kwaye ke, kuninzi okuza kuza kwiintsuku nakwiminyaka ezayo. Yima ngxi, uphulaphule iNkosi, kwaye ulindele imiyalelo yakhe. Kuba uThixo akalali, akalibali. 

Umandla am nokukhalipha kwam nguYehova, waba ngumsindisi wam; UYehova ligorha, unguYehova, igama lakhe. (Indumiso yanamhlanje)

 

Enkosi ngokuxhasa le nkonzo yexesha elizeleyo.

UMark Mallett utyhila umfanekiso omangalisayo wamaxesha ethu awakhelwanga kwiingxoxo ezingenamsebenzi okanye iziprofeto ezithandabuzekayo, kodwa ngamazwi aqinileyo aBawo beCawa, iiPapa zanamhlanje, kunye nezibhengezo ezivunyiweyo zeNtombikazi kaMariya. Isiphumo sokungathandabuzeki: sijongene Imbonakalo yokuGqibela.
