Kukholwa Kwa-Abrahama Kuyavivinywa

Abrahama wafundzisa indvodzana yakhe Isaka kutsi itsandze Jehova futsi iciniseke kutsi tonkhe tetsembiso taJehova titawugcwaliseka. Kodvwa ngesikhatsi Isaka aneminyaka lecishe ibe ngu-25, Jehova wacela Abrahama kutsi ente lokutsite lobekumatima kakhulu. Bekuyini?

Nkulunkulu watsi ku-Abrahama: ‘Ngicela utsatse indvodzana yakho lekuphela kwayo, uhambe uye eveni laseMoriya futsi unikele ngayo.’ Abrahama abengati kutsi Jehova umcelelani kutsi ente loko, kodvwa walalela.

Ekuseni ngelilanga lelilandzelako, Abrahama wahamba na-Isaka kanye netisebenti takhe letimbili baya eMoriya. Ngemuva kwemalanga lamatsatfu besebatibona tintsaba taseMoriya. Abrahama wacela tisebenti takhe kutsi time kancane njengobe yena na-Isaka bayokwenta umhlatjelo. Abrahama waniketa Isaka tinkhuni wase yena uphatsa umukhwa. Isaka wabuta babe wakhe watsi: ‘Iphi imvu letawuba ngumnikelo wekushiswa?’ Abrahama waphendvula watsi: ‘Ndvodzana, Jehova nguye lotasinika lemvu.’

Nabefika entsabeni bakha lilati. Abrahama wase ubopha Isaka tandla netinyawo wambeka kulelilati.

Abrahama watsatsa umukhwa. Ngaso leso sikhatsi ingilosi yaJehova yamemeta isezulwini yatsi: ‘Abrahama ungamlimati lomfana. Nyalo sengiyati kutsi uyamesaba Nkulunkulu ngobe awukangigodleli indvodzana yakho.’ Abrahama wabona imvu ibanjwe ngetimphondvo esihlahleni. Ngekushesha wachacha Isaka wase sewenta umhlatjelo ngalemvu.

Kusukela ngalelo langa Jehova watsi Abrahama ngumngani wakhe. Leni? Abrahama abekwenta konkhe Jehova abemyala kutsi akwente, ngisho nobe angati kutsi Jehova umcelelani kutsi akwente.

Jehova waphindze wetsembisa Abrahama watsi: ‘Ngitakubusisa futsi ngisandzise situkulwane sakho nobe intalo yakho.’ Loku bekusho kutsi Jehova utawubusisa bonkhe bantfu labalungile ngesitukulwane sa-Abrahama.
