LESI sithombe sepharadeyisi esifana naleso okungenzeka uZimu wasitjengisa umphorofidi wakhe u-Isaya. U-Isaya waphila ngemva kokuhlongakala kwakaJona.

Ibizo elithi ipharadeyisi litjho “ingadi” namtjhana “iphaga.” Isithombesi asikukhumbuzi ngokhunye esikubone encwadini le? Sifana nengadi ehle leyo uJehova ayenzela u-Adamu no-Efa, akusinjalo? Kodwana kuzokwenzeka bona iphasi loke libe yipharadeyisi na?

UJehova watjela umphorofidakhe u-Isaya bona atlole ngepharadeyisi elitjha elizako labantu bakaZimu. Watlola wathi: ‘Ipisi nelamjana kuyokuhlala ndawonye. Ikonyana nomntwana webhubezi zizokudla ndawonye, nomntwana omncani uzozitjheja. Ngitjho nomntwana ngeze alimala nakadlala hlanu kwenyoka enetjhefu.’

Abanengi bangathi: ‘Ngeze kwenzeka lokho. Iphasi solo linemiraro, begodu lizokuhlala linemiraro.’ Kodwana akhe ucabange ngalokhu: Likhaya elinjani uZimu alenzela u-Adamu no-Efa?

UZimu wabeka u-Adamu no-Efa epharadeyisini. Balahlekelwa likhaya labo elihle ngombana akhenge balalele uZimu, baluphala bebafa. UZimu uthembisa bona uzokunikela abantu abamthandako izinto ezalahlwa ngu-Adamu no-Efa.

Epharadeyisini elitjha elizako akukho okuzokulimaza namtjhana kumorose. Kuyokuba nokuthula kwamambala. Boke abantu bayokuba nepilo ehle bathabe. Kuzokuba njengombana uZimu gade afuna kube njalo ekuthomeni. Kodwana ngokukhamba kwesikhathi, sizokufunda bona uZimu uzokwenza njani lokhu.
