Ezinye iivesi zeBhayibhile zokunikezelwa kwakhona
Esi sicatshulwa sidumileyo sinomthandazo wokuzinikezela kuKumkani uDavide emva kokuba umprofeti uNatan wajongana naye ngesono sakhe (2 Samuweli 12). UDavid wakrexeza noBhatshebha, emva koko wamgubungela ngokubulawa kwendoda yakhe kunye nokuthatha uBhatshebha abe ngumfazi wakhe. Cinga ngokubandakanya iinxalenye zale ndinyana kumthandazo wakho wokunikezelwa kwakhona:
Ndihlambe kwityala lam. Ndicoce isono sam. Kuba ndiyalwazi ukreqo lwam; indikhuphela imini nobusuku. Ndikonile ndedwa kuwe; Ndenze into embi emehlweni akho. Uya kuboniswa kanye le nto uyithethayo kwaye nomgwebo wakho ububulungisa.
Ndihlambulule izono zam, ndicoceke. Ndihlambe ndibe mhlophe qhwa, Owu, ndinike ulonwabo lwam kwakhona; Undophule, mandibe nemihlali. Sukuqhubeka ujonga izono zam. Susa ibala lam,
Dala phakathi kwam, Thixo, umoya onyanisekileyo, phakathi kwam, moya onyanisekileyo. Sukundinqanda ebusweni bakho kwaye ungawusi umoya wakho oyiNgcwele. Ndibuyisele uvuyo losindiso lwakho, undimisele ukuthobela. (Amagqabantshintshi akwiNdumiso 51: 2–12, NLT)
Kule ndima, uYesu waxelela abalandeli bakhe ukuba bakhangela into ephosakeleyo. Bafuna imimangaliso kunye nokunyanga. INkosi ibaxelele ukuba bayeke ukujonga ingqalelo yabo kwizinto ezizonwabisayo. Kufuneka sijonge ku-Kristu kwaye sifumanise ukuba ufuna senze ntoni yonke imihla ngolwalamano kunye naye. Kuphela kuxa silandela le ndlela yokuphila apho sinokuthi siqonde kwaye sazi ukuba ungubani ngokwenene uYesu.
Emva koko [uYesu] wathi kwisihlwele, "Ukuba nabani na ufuna ukundilandela, makashiye indlela yakhe, athabathe umnqamlezo wakhe yonke imihla andilandele." (Luka 9:23, NLT)
