Ukwazi Imibongo yesiHebhere
Okokuqala, kunokukunceda ukwazi ukuba umbongo wesiHebhere kwiTestamente eNdala awusekelwanga kwimvano-siphelo, njengezinye iindidi zemibongo. Kwaye nangona isingqi, umdlalo wamagama, yaye ukuphindaphinda izandi zizinto eziqhelekileyo kumbongo wamandulo wesiHebhere, ezi zinto zidla ngokulahleka kuguqulo. Uphawu olunye oya kuluqaphela, ngokunjalo, luphinda-phindo lweengcinga nezimvo, ngamanye amaxesha olubizwa “ukufana.” Nanku umzekelo osuka ku-Isaya:
Nxiba amandla akho, Ziyon;
Nxiba iingubo zakho ezintle, Yerusalem. (UIsaya 52:1)
Indumiso 29 inemigca emininzi engqameneyo—ngokomzekelo:
Ilizwi likaYehova linamandla;
ilizwi likaNdikhoyo linobungangamsha. Indumiso 29:4
Kwaye nanku umzekelo apho ukwazi ukuba umgca wesibini ungqamene nowokuqala wenza ukuba isicatshulwa siqondeke lula:
Mna ndininike ubumsulwa bamazinyo emizini yenu yonke,
nokuswela isonka ezindaweni zenu zonke. (UAmosi 4:6)
Kule mizekelo, imbongi iphindaphinde ingcamango enomahluko kancinane. Obu buchule bunokugxininisa ingcamango ephindaphindiweyo kwaye isebenzise iyantlukwano ukuyichaza ngokupheleleyo okanye ukuyiphuhlisa.
Kwezinye iimeko, izivakalisi ezimbini ezifanayo zisebenzisa ulwimi olufanayo ukuhambisa iingcamango ezichaseneyo, njengalo mzekelo:
Impendulo ethambileyo isusa ubushushu:
Ilizwi elidubulayo linyusa umsindo. (IMizekeliso 15:1)
Olu hlobo lokufana alwenzekanga ngengozi. Ababhali bakwenza ngabom. Yabanceda bavakalisa iimvakalelo zokomoya okanye iinyaniso ngokubini ngamandla nangobuhle. Ke xa ubona ukuhambelana ekubhaleni kweTestamente eNdala, zibuze ukuba kukunceda njani ukuba uqonde umyalezo wombhali. Ngokomzekelo, yintoni asenokuba wayezama ukuyithetha uIsaya ngokubalisa “amandla” “iingubo zokuhomba” kunye ne “Ziyon” kunye ne“Yerusalem“? (UIsaya 52:1). Sinokugqiba ngelithini ngebinzana elithi “impendulo ethambileyo” ukuba siyazi ukuba “amazwi abuhlungu” asisichasi? (Imizekeliso 15:1).
