Genesis 22: 1- 19

22:1 Ngemva kwalezi zinto zenzeka, UNkulunkulu wamvivinya u-Abrahama, wasesithi kuye, “Abrahama, Abrahama.” Futhi waphendula, "Ngilapha."

22:2 Wathi kuye: “Thatha indodana yakho ezelwe yodwa u-Isaka, omthandayo, futhi uye ezweni lombono. Futhi lapho uyakunikela kuye njengomnikelo wokushiswa phezu kwenye yezintaba, engizokutshengisa yona.”

22:3 Futhi kanjalo u-Abrahama, ukuvuka ebusuku, wabophela imbongolo yakhe, ehamba nabafana ababili, nendodana yakhe u-Isaka. Futhi lapho esegawule izinkuni zomnikelo wokushiswa, waqonda endaweni, njengoba uNkulunkulu emyalile.

22:4 Khona-ke, ngosuku lwesithathu, ephakamisa amehlo akhe, wayibona lendawo ikude.

22:5 Wathi ezincekwini zakhe: “Lindani lapha nembongolo. Mina nomfana sizophuthuma phambili siye kuleyondawo. Ngemva kokuba sesikhonze, ngizobuyela kini.”

22:6 Wathatha nezinkuni zokushiswa, wakubeka phezu kwendodana yakhe u-Isaka. Futhi yena ngokwakhe waphatha ezandleni zakhe umlilo nenkemba. Futhi njengoba bobabili beqhubeka ndawonye,

22:7 Wathi u-Isaka kuyise, "Ubaba wami." Futhi waphendula, "Ufunani, indodana?” “Bheka," uthe, “umlilo nezinkuni. Siphi isisulu sokushiswa kwesizwe?”

22:8 Kodwa u-Abrahama wathi, “UNkulunkulu ngokwakhe uyolungiselela isisulu somnikelo wokushiswa, umfana wami." Baqhubeka kanjalo ndawonye.

22:9 Basebefika endaweni uNkulunkulu amtshengisa yona. Wakha khona i-altare, wahlela izinkuni phezu kwalo. Futhi lapho esebophe indodana yakhe u-Isaka, wambeka e-altare phezu kwenqwaba yezinkuni.

22:10 Welula isandla sakhe, wabamba inkemba, ukuze anikele ngendodana yakhe.

22:11 Futhi bheka, ingelosi yeNkosi yamemeza isezulwini, ethi, “Abrahama, Abrahama.” Futhi waphendula, "Ngilapha."

22:12 Wathi kuye, “Ungaselula isandla sakho phezu komfana, futhi lingenzi lutho kuye. Manje sengiyazi ukuthi uyamesaba uNkulunkulu, ngoba kawuyiyekanga indodana yakho ezelwe yodwa ngenxa yami.”

22:13 U-Abrahama waphakamisa amehlo akhe, yabona ngemva komhlane wayo inqama phakathi kwameva, zibanjwe izimpondo, ayithatha wayinikela njengomnikelo wokushiswa, esikhundleni sendodana yakhe.

22:14 Waqamba igama laleyo ndawo: ‘INkosi Iyabona.’ Kanjalo, kuze kube lamuhla, kuthiwa: ‘Entabeni, iNkosi izobona.’

22:15 Ingelosi kaJehova yamemeza ku-Abrahama ngokwesibili isezulwini, ethi:

22:16 “Ngokwami, ngifungile, Isho iNkosi. Ngoba uyenzile le nto, futhi awuyiyekanga indodana yakho ezelwe yodwa ngenxa yami,

22:17 ngizokubusisa, ngiyakwandisa inzalo yakho njengezinkanyezi zezulu, nanjengesihlabathi esisogwini lolwandle. Inzalo yakho iyodla ifa lamasango ezitha zayo.

22:18 Nasenzalweni yakho, zonke izizwe zomhlaba ziyobusiswa, ngokuba ulalele izwi lami.”

22:19 U-Abrahama wabuyela ezincekwini zakhe, bahamba kanyekanye eBeri Sheba, wahlala khona.

Mathewu 9: 1- 8

9:1 And climbing into a boat, he crossed the sea, and he arrived at his own city.

9:2 Futhi bheka, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. Futhi uJesu, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Be strengthened in faith, indodana; your sins are forgiven you.”

9:3 Futhi bheka, some of the scribes said within themselves, “He is blaspheming.”

9:4 And when Jesus had perceived their thoughts, uthe: “Why do you think such evil in your hearts?

9:5 Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk?'

9:6 Kodwa, so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he then said to the paralytic, “Sukuma, take up your bed, and go into your house.”

9:7 And he arose and went into his house.

9:8 Then the crowd, ebona lokhu, was frightened, and they glorified God, who gave such power to men.
