alahlile onkulunkulu bawo emlilweni , ngokuba babengesibo onkulunkulu , babe ngumsebenzi wezandla zomuntu kuphela , umuthi namatshe; ngalokho abachithile.

Phakathi kwesitaladi sawo nomfula emace leni omabili kukhona umuthi wokuphila, uthela izithelo eziyishumi nambili, uthela izithelo zawo izinyanga ngezinyanga, namaqabunga omuthi angawokuphulukisa izizwe.

Onendlebe makezwe lokho akushoyo uMoya emabandleni . Onqobayo ngiyakumnika ukuba adle ku wo umuthi wokuphila oseParadisi likaNkulunkulu.

Emva kwalokho ngabona izingelosi ezine zimi emagumbini omane omhlaba, zibamba imimoya emine yomhlaba , ukuze kungavunguzi moya emhlabeni , naselwandle, nakowodwa umuthi.

Kwathiwa kuso masingoni utshani bomhlaba , nanye into e luhlaza, nowodwa umuthi, kuphela labo bantu abangenalo uphawu lukaNkulunkulu emabunzini abo.

Yenzani umuthi ube muhle, nesithelo sawo sibe sihle; noma nenze umuthi ube mubi, nesithelo sawo sibe sibi; ngokuba umuthi waziwa ngesithelo sawo.

Kanjalo yilowo nalowo muthi omuhle uthela izithelo ezinhle , kepha umuthi omubi uthela izithelo ezimbi.

Umuthi omu hle ungethele izithelo ezimbi , nomuthi omubi ungethele izithelo ezinhle.

Wayesekhala kuJehova ; uJehova wambonisa umuthi ; wawuphonsa emanzini, amanzi aba mtoti . Wabamisela khona isimiso nomthetho ; wabavivinya lapho,

Bonke abanikela ngomnikelo wesiliva nowethusi baletha umnikelo kuJehova, nabo bonke okwafunyanwa kubo umuthi womtholo womsebenzi wenkonzo bawuletha.

Wayesethi uZereshi umkakhe nabo bonke abangane bakhe kuye : Yenza umuthi, ukuphakama kwawo kube yizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu , ukhulume ekuseni enkosini ukuba uMoridekayi aphanyekwe kuwo , besewungena ngokuthokoza kanye nenkosi edilini . Laba lihle lelo zwi kuHamani, wenza umuthi.

Wayesethi uHaribona , enye yezinduna ezaziphambi kwenkosi : Bheka, umuthi okuphakama kwawo kuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu, uHamani ayewenzele uMoridekayi owakhuluma kahle ngenkosi , umi endlini kaHamani. Inkosi yathi: Mphanyekeni kuwo.

Futhi ngikhiphe isimemezelo sokuthi yilowo nalowo oguqula leli zwi , makukhishwe umuthi endlini yakhe , aphakanyiswe, abethelwe kuwo , indlu yakhe yenziwe ibe yiquba ngenxa yalokho,

Izembe liyakuzikhukhumeza kuye ogawula ngalo na ? Isaha liyakuzikhulisa kuye oliqhubayo , njengokungathi induku i zamazamisa abayiphakamisayo , nodondolo luphakamisa ongesiwo umuthi, na?

alahlile onkulunkulu bawo emlilweni , ngokuba babengesibo onkulunkulu , babe ngumsebenzi wezandla zomuntu ku phela, umuthi namatshe; ngalokho abachithile.

Ompofu kunokuba anikele ngomnikelo onjal o uyakhetha umuthi ongaboliyo, azifunele isisebenzi esihlakaniphiley o ukuba simise isithombe esibaziweyo esingenakuzanyazanyiswa.

Umbazi uyelula intambo, adwebe umuthi ngokubomvu, awenze ngezibazo, adwebe ngekompasi , awenze ngomfanekiso womuntu , ngobuhle bomuntu , ukuba uhlale endlini.

Buthanani nize , nisondelane ndawony e nina bakhululekileyo bezizwe ; abawuthwala umuthi wezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo abanakwazi , bakhuleka kunkulunkulu ongenakusindisa.

Yayinje imibono yekhanda lami ngisembhedeni wami : ngabona, bheka, nanko umuthi phakathi nomhlaba, nokuphakama kwawo kwakukukhulu.

Umuthi wakhula, waqina, ubude bawo bafinyelela ezulwini nokubonakala kwawo kwaze kwaba sekugcineni komhlaba.

Umuthi owawubonayo , owakhula, waqina, obude bawo bafinyelela ezulwini nokubonakala kwawo kwaze kwaba sekugcineni komhlaba;

Njengalokho inkosi yabona umlindi ongcwele ehla ezulwini , ethi: Gawula umuthi, uwuchithe, kepha shiya isiqu sezimpande zawo emhlabathini, sinesibopho sensimbi nesethusi , ohlazeni lwasendle, simanziswe ngamazolo ezulu, isabelo saso sibe nezilwane zasendle , kuze kudlule izikhathi eziyisikhombisa phezu kwaso,

njengomuntu oya ehlathini nomakhelwane wakhe ukugawula imithi, isandla sakhe bese sigalela ngezembe ukunquma umuthi , insimbi iphunyuke emphinini, imshaye umakhelwane wakhe aze afe , lowo uyakubalekela komunye wale mizi aze aphile,

Nxa uvimbezela umuzi isikhathi eside ngokulwa nawo ukuba uwuthathe , awuyikuyichitha imithi ngokuyigalela ngezembe , ngokuba ungadla kuyo ; ungayigawuli, ngokuba umuthi wasendle ungumuntu yini ukuba uvinjezelwe nguwe na?

kepha ungadli kuwo umuthi wokwazi okuhle nokubi , ngokuba mhla udla kuwo uyakufa nokufa. Ukudalwa kowesifazane

U-Adamu wathi: Owesifazane, owangipha yena ukuba abe nami , unginikile kuwo umuthi, ngadla.

UJehova uNkulunkulu wathi : Bheka, u-Adamu usenjengomunye wethu , uyakwazi okuhle nokubi ; kepha manje makangeluli isandla sakhe , athathe nakuwo umuthi wokuphila, adle, aphile kuze kube phakade.

Owesifazane ebona ukuthi umuthi ulungele ukudliwa , nokuthi uyabukeka emehlweni, nokuthi umuthi unxanelekile ekuhlakaniphiseni , wathatha izithelo zawo, wadla, wanika nendoda yakhe kanye naye, nayo yadla.

Ndodana yomuntu , umuthi womvini udlula ngani imithi yonke , igatsha lomvini eliphakathi kwemithi yasehlathini, na?

Kuyakuthathwa kuwo umuthi wokwenza umsebenzi, noma kuthathwe kuwo isikhonkwane ukuphanyeka isitsha, na?

Yonke imithi yasendle iyakwazi ukuthi mina Je hova ngiwisile umuthi omude, ngiphakamisile umuthi omfushane ; ngomisile umuthi oluhlaza , ngihlumisile umuthi owomileyo. Mina Jehova ngikukhulumile, ngakwenza.

Okungenayo ezinhliziyweni zenu akuyikuba khona impela , lokhu enikushoyo ukuthi : Siyakuba njengezizwe , njengemindeni yamazwe , ukuba sikhonze umuthi namatshe.

Imisedari ya sensimini kaNkulunkulu yayingenakuwusitha , imisayipuresi yayingafani nezingatsha zawo , nemipelatani yayingenjengamagatsha awo , futhi kwakungekho nowodwa umuthi ensimini kaNkulunkulu ofana nawo ngobuhle.

Umuthi osendle uyakuthela izithelo zawo , umhlabathi uthele ukudla kwawo, zihlale zilondekile ezweni lazo , zazi ukuthi nginguJehova, lapho sengaphulile izikeyi zejoka lazo , ngazophula esandleni salabo ezenziwa izikhonzi yibo.

imibundu, namafasitele avaliweyo , nemipheme nxazonke eyelakanyene kathathu malungana nombund u, kwembeswe umuthi nxazonke , kusukela phansi kuze kube semafasiteleni; amafasitele ayemboziwe;

Ngokuba imikhuba yabantu iyize , lokhu kugawulwa umuthi ehlathini ; ngumsebenzi wesandla sesisebenzi ngembazo.

Kepha mina nganginjengewundlu eliyiswa ekuhlatshweni ; ngangingazi ukuthi bangicebela amacebo , bethi: Masiwuchithe umuthi kanye nezithelo zawo, simnqume ezweni labaphilayo, igama lakhe lingabe lisakhunjulwa.

Akakho omela icala lakho ukuba uboshwe; umuthi wokuphilisa awunawo.

Uma amafu egcwele imvula , ayayithulula emhlabeni ; futhi uma kuwa umuthi ngaseningizim u noma ngasenyakatho, endaweni lapho uwa khona umuthi, uyakuba lapho.
