Ilaka Labangela Ukubulala

Ngemva kokuqothwa esimini ye-Edeni, u-Adamu no-Eva baba nabantwana abanengi. Indodanabo yokuthoma bekunguKayini, umlimi bese yesibili kungu-Abela, owaba ngumelusi.

Ngelinye ilanga uKayini no-Abela benzela uJehova umnikelo. Uyazi bona uyini umnikelo? Sisipho esikhethekileko. UJehova wawuthanda umnikelo ka-Abela, kodwana azange awuthande kaKayini. Lokho kwamsilinga khulu uKayini. UJehova wayelelisa uKayini ngokuthi ilaka lakhe lizomenzisa into embi. Kodwana uKayini azange alalele.

Kunokobana alalele, uKayini wathi ku-Abela: “Asikhambe siye emmangweni.” Kwathi nababodwa emmangwenapho, uKayini wahlasela umnakwabo wambulala. Bekazokwenzani uJehova ngalokho? UJehova wajezisa uKayini, wathi ayokuhlala kude nomndenekhabo. Bekangekhe asavunyelwa ukuthi abuye.

Sifundani thina endabeni le? Nathi singathoma ukusilingeka izinto nazingenzeki ngendlela esifuna ngayo. Kodwana nasizwa ilaka likhula ngaphakathi kwethu namkha nangabe abanye bayabona ukuthi sisilingekile bese bayasikhalima, kufuze sirhabe silungise besilawule nendlela esizizwa ngayo ngaphambi kobana amazizo lawo asilawule.

Ngebanga lokuthi u-Abela bekamthanda uJehova, enza nokulungileko, uJehova uzokuhlala amkhumbula. UZimu uzomvusa u-Abela nakenza iphaseli libe yiPharadesi.
