UMkhosi oSelula
Oonyana ababemthembile uThixo
AmaNifayithi ayesemfazweni namaLeymenayithi kwaye ayedinga uncedo. Ama-Antayi-Nifayi-Lihayi ayefuna ukunceda. Kodwa ayenze isithembiso kwiNkosi sokuba ayengazukulwa. Amawaka amabini oonyana awo ayengasenzanga eso sithembiso. Endaweni yoko, oonyana baye bathembisa ukuba babezakulwa ukuze bakhusele iintsapho zabo. Aba nyana babebizwa ngokuba ngamagatyana amajoni.
Amajoni angamagatyana akhetha umprofeti uHilamani ukuba awakhokele. Babeliqela elincinci xa bethelekiswa nomkhosi omkhulu wamaLeymenayithi. Kodwa uHilamani wayesazi ukuba amajoni angamagatyana ayenyanisekile, ayenobugorha, kwaye ethembekile. Ekhokelwe nguHilamani, aye ayokunceda amaNifayithi.
Alma 53:19–22; 56:9–10, 17, 19
Amajoni amaNifayithi ayediniwe. Kodwa athi akuza amajoni angamagatyana, amaNifayithi avuya. Lo mkhosi uselula wawanika ithemba namandla. Kunye, baye balungiselela ukulwa namaLeymenayithi. Abazali bamajoni angamagatyana nabo banceda ngokuzisa ukutya nezinto ezazidingeka.
AmaLeymenayithi ayethimbe izixeko ezininzi kwaye ayeshiye imikhosi yawo kuzo. Iinkokheli zamaNifayithi zazifuna ukuba amaLeymenayithi emke kwesinye sezixeko. Zenza icebo zaze zacela amajoni angamagatyana ukuba ancede.
Amajoni angamagatyana ayesenza ngathi asa ukutya kumaNifayithi ayehlala kwisixeko esikufuphi. Akubona eli qela lincinci amaLeymenayithi, ashiya isixeko aze aleqa amajoni angamagatyana. AmaLeymenayithi ayecinga ukuba kwakuzakuba lula ukubathimba.
amajoni angamagatyana aye awabaleka amaLeymenayithi. Waze umkhosi wamaNifayithi waqalisa ukuleqa amaLeymenayithi. AmaLeymenayithi ayefuna ukufumana amajoni angamagatyana phambi kokuba amaNifayithi afike kuwo. AmaNifayithi abona ukuba amajoni angamagatyana ayesengxakini kwaye aye amatsha ngokukhawuleza ukuze awancede.
Emva kwexesha elithile, amajoni angamagatyana ayengawaboni amaLeymenayithi. Aye aqalisa ukuzibuza ukuba ingaba amaNifayithi afikelele na kumaLeymenayithi kwaye alwa.
UHilamani wayenexhala. Waye wacinga ukuba amaLeymenayithi ayesenokuba azama ukubathiyela. Waye wabuza amajoni akhe aselula ukuba angayokulwa namaLeymenayithi na.
Amajoni angamagatyana ayekhumbula oko babefundiswe ngoonina bawo. Oonina bawo babewafundise ukuba athembe uThixo kwaye angathandabuzi, ngokuba wayeza kubagcina bekhuselekile. Aba nyana babekholelwa kuThixo kwaye babefuna ukugcina isithembiso sabo sokukhusela iintsapho zabo. Baye baxelela uHilamani ukuba babekulungele ukuhamba bayokulwa.
UHilamani wayemangalisiwe kukukhalipha kwabo. Yena wabakhokelela emva ukuze bayokulwa namaLeymenayithi.
Amajoni angamagatyana abona amaLeymenayithi esilwa namaNifayithi. AmaNifayithi ayediniwe. Ayeseza koyiswa ngelixa afika ngalo amajoni aselula.
Amajoni angamagatyana aye alwa ngamandla kaThixo. AmaLeymenayithi ayewoyika kwaye ayeka ukulwa. Amajoni angamagatyana ayencedile ekuphunyelelweni kwedabi!
Kwidabi, amaNifayithi amaninzi kunye namaLeymenayithi aye afa. UHilamani wayenexhala ukuba amanye wamajoni wakhe kwakuse nokwenzeka ukuba ayefile nawo. Kodwa emva kwedabi, uHilamani wabala umntu wonke. Wayonwabe kakhulu akubona ukuba wayengekho namnye kula majoni angamagatyana owayebulewe. UThixo waye bakhusele.
Abangakumbi oonyana bazimanya namajoni angamagatyana. Baqhubekeka benceda amaNifayithi ekulweni. Kwamanye la amadabi, wonke amajoni angamagatyana onzakala, kodwa akukho nalinye elafayo. Wona akhumbula into omama babo ababebafundise yona. Babethembe uThixo, kwaye Yena waye wabakhusela.
