IVangeli yangomhla we-15 kuCanzibe wama-2018
Ileta kaPawulos uMpostile kuFilemon 1,7-20.
Ewe, mfondini, uthando lwakho luye lwaba luvuyo nentuthuzelo enkulu kum, kuba kaloku umsebenzi wakho uthuthuzelekile iintliziyo zamakholwa.
Ngenxa yoko, sikhululekile nje kuKristu, ukuba sinithethelele izinto enimelwe kukuthi nizenze.
ndithanda ukunithandazela egameni lothando, kwanjengokuba mna ndinguPawulos, owalupheleyo, ngoku ke ndikwangumbanjwa ngenxa kaKristu Yesu;
ndithandazela kuwe unyana wam, endimzeleyo ekhonkxiwe;
U-Onesimo obefudula engeluncedo lwanto kuwe, kodwa ngoku unoncedo kuwe nakum.
Ndimbuyisele kuwe, ntliziyo yam.
Bendingathanda ke ukuhlala naye apha, ukuze andilungiselele endaweni yakho, ndisezintanjeni ngenxa yeendaba ezilungileyo;
Kodwa andithandanga kwenza nto ngaphandle koluvo lwakho, ukuze ungakunyanzelwa, wenze okulungileyo, ube makwenzeke okuzenzekelayo.
Mhlawumbi kungenxa yoko le nto wahlukaniswa nawe okwephanyazo, ukuze umzuze ngonaphakade;
engasenjengekhoboka, esuke wagqithisa kunekhoboka, engumzalwana oyintanda kum kuqala;
Ngoko ke, ukuba unobudlelane nam, mamkele njengam.
Ukuba wakona nganto, nokuba unetyala kuwe, zonke ezo nto zibekele mna.
Ndiyibhala ngesandla sam, mna, Paolo: Ndiya kuzihlawula ngokwam. Andikuxeleli ukuba nawe uyandityala kunye nawe!
Ewe mntakwethu! Ngamana ndinganganenzela le nceba eNkosini; inika oku kuphumla entliziyweni yam ndikuKristu!
Salmi 146(145),7.8-9a.9bc-10.
INkosi ithembekile ngonaphakade.
NguThixo obonelela abacinezelweyo,
unika abalambileyo isonka,
INkosi iyabakhulula ababanjiweyo.
INkosi iyawubuyisela ubumfama,
INkosi iya kubavuselela abo bawileyo,
NguYehova othanda amalungisa,
INkosi iyamkhusela owasemzini.
Uxhasa inkedama nomhlolokazi,
Ke yona indlela yabangendawo iyamphosa.
UNdikhoyo ngukumkani ngonaphakade;
uThixo wakho, okanye iZiyon, kwisizukulwana ngasinye.
Ukusuka kwiVangeli kaYesu Krestu ngokukaLuka 17,20-25.
Ngeli xesha, ebuzwa ngabaFarasi: "Buya kufika nini ubukumkani bukaThixo?", UYesu waphendula wathi:
“Ubukumkani bukaThixo abuzi ngendlela yokutsala umdla, kwaye akukho namnye oya kuthi: Nabu, okanye: nabu. Ngenxa yokuba ubukumkani bukaThixo buphakathi kwenu! ».
Waphinda wathi kubafundi bakhe: «Kuza ilixa apho niya kunqwenela ukubona kwanomhla omnye woNyana woMntu, kodwa anisayi kuwubona.
Baya kuthi kuwe: Nanku apha, okanye: Nanku apha; ungayi apho, ungabalandeli.
Kuba njengombane ubaneka kwenye iphela esibhakabhakeni, usiya kwelinye, uya kuba njalo noNyana woMntu ngomhla wakhe.
Kodwa kuqala kunyanzelekile ukuba ahlupheke kakhulu kwaye kuhlonelwe esi sizukulwana ».
