Lehi’s Dream [Iphupho LikaLehi], nguSteven Lloyd Neal

NgoJanuwari 15–21: “Beze Nabo Bazodla Isithelo”

1 Nefi 6–10

Iphupho likaLehi—elinenduku yensimbi, inkungu yobumnyama, isakhiwo esivulekile, kanye nomuthi onesithelo “esasimnandi kakhulu”—liyisimemo esiletha ugqozi lokwemukela izibusiso zikaMsindisi zothando nomnikelo ohlawulayo. Kodwa kuLehi, lombono wawuphathelene futhi nomndeni wakhe: “Ngenxa yento engiyibonile, nginesizathu sokuthokoza eNkosini ngenxa kaNefi futhi ngokunjalo noSamu. … Kepha bhekani, Lamani nawe Lemuweli, ngiyesaba kakhulu ngenxa yenu” (1 Nefi 8:3–4). Kwathi uma uLehi eqeda ukuchaza ngombono wakhe, wanxusa uLamani noLemuweli ukuba “bawezwe amazwi akhe, nokuthi mhlawumbe iNkosi yayiyoba nesihawu kubo” (1 Nefi 8:37). Ngisho noma usuke wafunda ngombono kaLehi izikhathi eziningi, manje ake ucabange ngawo ngendlela uLehi ayecabanga ngawo—cabanga ngomuntu omthandayo. Ngesikhathi wenze njalo, ukuphepha kwenduku yensimbi, ubungozi besakhiwo esivulekile, kanye nobumnandi besithelo konke uzokuzwa ngendlela eyehlukile. Futhi uzoyiqonda ngokujulileyo “yonke imizwa yomzali omnene” owathola lombono omangalisayo.
