Eksodus 3:1-22 Ubizo lukaMoses
Eli gama likaThixo sinokulifumana eBhayibhileni ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo. Kodwa ngeli xesha siza kuhlalutya umzuzu apho uThixo azichazayo ukuba ndinguye endinguye kwisahluko sesi-3 sencwadi ye-Eksodus nokuba kutheni eziveza ngeli gama.
Ngelo xesha, uMoses wayephumile kwibhotwe likaFaro, wayesele etshatile yaye ehlala nomkakhe kumhlaba kaYitro uyisezala nombingeleli wakwaMidiyan. Ngenye imini xa wayesalusa, wafika nomhlambi wakhe eNtabeni yeHorebhe.
EnguMoses entabeni, wadibana okokuqala noThixo, owabonakala kuye elangatyeni lomlilo elivutha etyholweni. Apho uYehova uxelela uMoses ukuba wayengumthunywa wakhe ukuze azalisekise uthumo lokukhulula abantu bakhe amaSirayeli ekubeni aqhubeke ebukhobokeni kwilizwe laseYiputa.
IEKSODUS 3:11 Wathi uMoses kuThixo, Ndingubani na mna ukuba ndingabonakala phambi koFaro, ukuba ndibakhuphe oonyana bakaSirayeli eYiputa? -
Engazolanga, uMoses waqhubeka esithi abantu babengayi kukholelwa ukuba uYehova wayemthumile. Yaye ukucela ukuba umxelele igama lakhe ukuze akwazi ukunxibelelana nabantu.
Eksodus 3:13-15 ( ESV ):
13 UMoses wamxelela uThixo:
Ke ukuba ndiye ndathi koonyana bakaSirayeli, UThixo wooyihlo undithumile kuni, ndothini na, ukuba nithe nandibuza?ungubani na igama lakho? -.
14 UThixo wamphendula uMoses:
"NDINGULO NDINGUYE”. Waza wongezelela wathi: “Uze uthi koonyana bakaSirayeli:NDINGU” undithumile kuni.
Kutheni le nto uThixo ezibonisa ngolu hlobo?
UMoses kwingqondo yakhe ephelelweyo wenza ingqiqo yokubuza uYehova ukuba ngubani igama lakhe? Kuba ngokuqinisekileyo abantu bakwaSirayeli babeya kufuna ukwazi eyona njongo kaThixo ngabo.
Injongo kaMoses ekwazini igama likaThixo kukukwazi ukuqonda uhlobo lolwalamano uThixo awayelumisela nabantu bakhe. Kungenxa yokuba kwixesha elidluleyo, uThixo wayemisele ulwalamano noosolusapho.
Kodwa, wayeya kuba nobudlelwane obunjani ngoku nabantu bakwaSirayeli?” Nenjongo kaThixo yokuzibonakalisa ngale ndlela ifihlakeleyo, ukuba uyafuna, yayikukutyhila uMoses yaye onke amaSirayeli kwakufuneka athi kubo: “Ndinguye.
Le mpendulo ingaqhelekanga okanye engaqondakaliyo, enokuthi ithathwe njengokwala ukuphendula. Kungenxa yokuba uThixo wayefuna uMoses aqonde ukuba, ngale mpendulo, wayebonakalalisa ngokwecebo lakhe.
UYehova wamphendula uMoses endinguye, wazimisa njengoThixo othembekileyo. Oko kukuthi, yayikukuthembeka okucacileyo kukaThixo kaSirayeli, yiyo loo nto indinyana 15:
15 Kwakhona uThixo wamxelela uMoses:
-Uze uthi koonyana bakaSirayeli, UYehova undithumile kuni; UnguThixo wooyise, uThixo ka-Abraham, uThixo kaIsake, uThixo kaYakobi.” Eli ligama lam lanaphakade. Ngeli gama ndiya kukhunjulwa kuzo zonke iinkulungwane.
Yiyo loo nto iNkosi iphendula ngegama elingaqondakaliyo elithi: Ndinguye endinguye. Ukutyhila inyaniso equlethwe kuyo, ethi: UTHIXO NGUYE kuphela. Kwaye uThixo wenza esi sityhilelo sisongelwe kukukhanya kwemfihlelo njengendlela yokungaphenduli nje kuphela kubantu bakwaSirayeli; kodwa nokubafundisa njani ukuba elo gama liya kuba lunqulo olungunaphakade.

Ngokusuka kulwimi lwesiHebhere eli gama likaThixo ligama elinoonobumba abane: יהוה okanye YHWH, iTetragrammaton. Ngenxa yokuzondelela eli gama, izithethe zamaSirayeli zaloo maxesha zafaka igama elithi Adonai, elithetha ukuthi Nkosi, ukuze angalibizi lowo ugqalwa njengongcwele, uYHWH okanye uYahwe.
