Nginguye enginguye
Nginguye enginguye, noma enkulumweni yayo encishisiwe ethi Yo Soy imelela elinye lamagama ayisikhombisa uNkulunkulu oyingqayizivele wabantu bakwa-Israyeli ovezwa ngawo. Leli gama likaNkulunkulu linokunakekelwa okukhethekile, intshiseko noma inhlonipho ngaphakathi kwesiko lamaJuda, ngokuba yilo elichaza uMuntu oPhakeme.
Igama likaNkulunkulu, Nginguye enginguye, ibhekwa orabi abaningi abahumushi bemibhalo, njengendlela noma umsuka weTetragrammaton yesiHeberu יהוה noma YHWH, okunokwenzeka kakhulu ukuphimisela kwayo okuthi Yahveh futhi okuyiyona ndlela esetshenziswa eBhayibhelini lesiHeberu ukubiza uNkulunkulu.
Eksodusi 3:1-22 Ucingo lukaMose
EBhayibhelini leli gama likaNkulunkulu singalithola ngezikhathi ezihlukahlukene. Kodwa kulokhu sizohlaziya umzuzu lapho uNkulunkulu eziveza ukuthi nginguye enginguye esahlukweni 3 seNcwadi ka-Eksodusi nokuthi kungani eziveza ngaleli gama.
Ngaleso sikhathi, uMose wayesephumile esigodlweni sikaFaro, wayeseshadile kakade futhi ehlala nomkakhe emazweni kamukhwe wakhe uJetro nompristi wakwaMidiyani. Ngolunye usuku esalusa, wafika nomhlambi wakhe eNtabeni iHorebe.
EnguMose entabeni, wahlangana okokuqala noNkulunkulu, owabonakala kuye elangabini lomlilo elivutha esihlahleni. Lapho uJehova utshela uMose ukuthi wayeyisithunywa sakhe ukuze afeze umsebenzi wokukhulula abantu bakhe u-Israyeli ekuqhubekeni nobugqila ezweni laseGibhithe.
U-Eksodusi 3:11 Wayesethi uMose kuNkulunkulu: “Ngingubani mina ukuba ngibonakale phambi kukaFaro, ngikhiphe abantwana bakwa-Israyeli eGibithe na? -
Engahlaliseki, uMose waqhubeka ethi abantu babengeke bakholwe ukuthi uJehova wayemthumile. Futhi ucela ukuthi umtshele igama lakhe ukuze akwazi ukuxhumana ngalo nabantu.
Eksodusi 3:13-15 ( ESV):
13 UMose watshela uNkulunkulu:
-Kepha uma ngihamba ngithi kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli: UNkulunkulu wawoyihlo ungithumile kini, ngizakuphendula ngithini, uma ningibuza?futhi ungubani igama lakho? -.
14 UNkulunkulu wamphendula uMose:
"NGINGUYE ENGINGUYE”. Futhi wanezela: - Kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli uzothi: ".NGINGU” ungithumile kini.
Kungani uNkulunkulu eziveza ngale ndlela?
UMose engqondweni yakhe enomkhawulo wenza isizathu esiphusile sokubuza uJehova ukuthi ubani igama lakhe? Ngoba ngokuqinisekile abantu bakwa-Israyeli babeyofuna ukwazi injongo yangempela kaNkulunkulu ngabo.
Inhloso kaMose yokwazi igama likaNkulunkulu iwukuba akwazi ukubona uhlobo lobuhlobo uNkulunkulu manje ayebakha nabantu bakhe. Ngoba esikhathini esidlule, uNkulunkulu wayemise ubuhlobo nezinzalamizi.
Kodwa, ibuphi ubuhlobo ayengaba nabo manje nabantu bakwa-Israyeli?Futhi inhloso kaNkulunkulu ukuveza ubuyena ngalendlela engaqondakali, uma uthanda, kwakuwukwembula uMose futhi wonke u-Israyeli wayezobatshela ukuthi: Nginguye.
Le mpendulo eyinqaba noma engaqondakali, engabhekwa njengokwenqaba ukuphendula. Kungenxa yokuthi uNkulunkulu wayefuna uMose aqonde ukuthi, ngale mpendulo, wayebonakalisa ngokwecebo Lakhe.
KuJehova ephendula uMose nginguye enginguye, wayeziveza ukuthi unguNkulunkulu othembekileyo. Okusho ukuthi, kwakuwukwethembeka okusobala kukaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, yingakho ivesi 15:
15 UNkulunkulu wamtshela uMose:
-Uzakuthi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli: I Nkosi ingithumile kini. UnguNkulunkulu wawoyise, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, noNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe.” Leli igama lami laphakade. Ngaleli gama ngizokhunjulwa amakhulu eminyaka.
Yingakho iNkosi iphendula ngegama elingachazeki elithi: Nginguye enginguye. Ukuze embule iqiniso equkethwe kuwo, okungukuthi: Kuphela UNKULUNKULU. Futhi uNkulunkulu wenza lesi sambulo sigoqwe emkhathini wemfihlakalo njengendlela yokungaphenduli nje kuphela kubantu bakwa-Israyeli; kodwa futhi ubayala kanjani ukuthi lelo gama liyoba ukukhonzwa okungapheli.

Ngenxa yokushisekela leli gama, isiko lakwa-Israyeli langaleso sikhathi lafaka igama elithi Adonai, elisho ukuthi Nkosi, esikhundleni salo ukuze lingaphimiseli elibhekwa njengelingcwele, elithi YHWH noma elithi Yahwe.
