Incenye yekucala ye-LiHumusho Lemhlaba Lomusha yakhululwa nga-1950. Kusukela ngaleso sikhatsi, labanye bantfu bakhuluma nome babuta kuba liciniso kwe-LiHumusho Lemhlaba Lomusha, * ngobe kuletinye tindzawo liyehluka kulamanye emahumusho eliBhayibheli. Lomehluko uvame kubangelwa ngulokunye kwaloku lokungentasi.

• Linekwetsenjwa. LiHumusho Lemhlaba Lomusha lisekelwe elucwaningweni lwakamuva lolwentiwe kanye nasemibhalweni yesandla yasendvulo leyetsenjwako. Ngalokwehlukile, i-“King James Version” ya-1611, beyitsetfwe emibhalweni yesandla lete liciniso ngalokuphelele futsi lengasimidzala njengaleyo leyasetjentiswa nakubhalwa LiHumusho Lemhlaba Lomusha.

• Letsembekile. LiHumusho Lemhlaba Lomusha letama kamatima kuze liwendlulisele ngekwetsembeka umlayeto wekucala lophefumulelwe nguNkulunkulu. (2 Thimothi 3:16) Emahumusho lamanyenti eliBhayibheli awetsembeki emlayetweni waNkulunkulu, futsi alandzela emasiko ebantfu, njengekufaka emagama latsi Nkhosi nobe Nkulunkulu esikhundleni selibito lakhe lelitsi Jehova.

• Libeka tintfo njengobe tinjalo. Ngalokwehlukile emahumushweni labuketiwe, LiHumusho Lemhlaba Lomusha libeka emagama njengobe anjalo, nangabe nje loko kungeke kundlulisele emavi langevakali kahle nobe kufihle umcondvo wemibhalo yekucala. Emahumusho labuketa imibhalo yekucala yeliBhayibheli angase afake imibono yebantfu nobe akhiphe imininingwane lebalulekile.

Tincwadzi letingekho. EmaBhayibhelini awo, emasontfo emaRoma Katolika newebu-Orthodox laseMphumalanga afaka tincwadzi labanye labatibita ngekutsi yi-Apocrypha. Nanobe kunjalo, letincwadzi betingemukeleki emitsetfweni yemaJuda, futsi kuyaphawuleka kutsi liBhayibheli litsi emaJuda ngiwo ‘labenikwe emavi langcwele aNkulunkulu.’ (Roma 3:1, 2) Ngako LiHumusho Lemhlaba Lomusha kanye nalamanye emahumusho eliBhayibheli alamuhla enta kahle ngekungatifaki letincwadzi lokutsiwa yi-Apocrypha.

Emavesi langekho. Lamanye emahumusho engeta emavesi nobe emagama langatfolakali emibhalweni yesandla yeliBhayibheli lemidzala futsi lesatfolakala, kodvwa LiHumusho Lemhlaba Lomusha alikufaki kwatiswa lokunjalo. Emahumusho lamanyenti alamuhla ayawakhipha emavesi lanjalo nobe avume kutsi imitfombo leminyenti letsenjwako ayiwasekeli lamavesi. *

Indlela leyehlukile emagama labekwe ngayo. Ngalokuvamile, kuhumusha ligama ngeligama akucaci nobe kuyedukisa. Sibonelo saloko kutsi emavi aJesu lakuMatewu 5:3 avame kuhunyushwa ngekutsi: “Babusisiwe labamphofu emoyeni.” (I-“English Standard Version”; i-“King James Version”; i-“New International Version”) Bantfu labanyenti batsi emavi aJesu latsi “labamphofu emoyeni” ayadida, kantsi labanye bacabanga kutsi Jesu abegcizelela kubaluleka kwekutfobeka nobe buphuya. Nanobe kunjalo, liphuzu laJesu belikutsi injabulo yeliciniso itfolakala ngekubona sidzingo sekucondziswa nguNkulunkulu. LiHumusho Lemhlaba Lomusha liyendlulisela kahle lenchazelo yemavi akhe ngekutsi itsi “labo labanakisisa tintfo letiphatselene naNkulunkulu.”—Matewu 5:3. *
