Genesis 1:26—“Masenze Umntu Ngokomfanekiso Wethu”
“Emva koko uThixo wathi: “Masenze umntu ngokomfanekiso wethu, ngokufana nathi, ibe makalawule iintlanzi zolwandle, iintaka ezisesibhakabhakeni, izilwanyana zasekhaya, alawule wonke umhlaba nazo zonke izilwanyana ezinambuzelayo ezihamba emhlabeni.’”—Genesis 1:26, INguqulelo Yehlabathi Elitsha.
“Waza ke uThixo wathi, ‘Masenze umntu abe ngumfuziselo wethu, afane nathi. Makabe negunya, alawule iintlanzi elwandle, iintaka ezibhabha esibhakabhakeni, iinkomo, nazo zonke izilo nezinambuzane elizweni.’”—Genesis 1:26, IBhayibhile YesiXhosa Yango1996.
Into Ethethwa YiGenesis 1:26
Abantu badalwa bafana noThixo. Loo nto ithetha ukuba bayakwazi ukuba neempawu ezifana nezakhe, njengothando, ukuvelana, nokuthanda ukulunga. Yiloo nto bekwazi ukuba ngabantu abacinga nabenza njengoThixo.
“UThixo wathi: “Masenze umntu ngokomfanekiso wethu.’” Ngaphambi kokuba uYehova uThixo a enze nantoni na, waqala wadala ingelosi eyaye yabizwa ngokuba nguYesu ekuhambeni kwexesha. UYesu wayesecaleni kukaThixo xa uThixo ‘wayedalwa zonke ezinye izinto ezisezulwini nasemhlabeni.’ (Kolose 1:16) UYesu “uneempawu ezifana nezikaThixo.” (Kolose 1:15) Yiloo nto ke uThixo wathetha noYesu wathi: “Masenze umntu ngokomfanekiso wethu.”
“Makalawule . . . izilwanyana zasekhaya, alawule wonke umhlaba.” Izilwanyana zona azidalwanga zafana noThixo. Azinazo iimpawu ezifana nezabantu njengothando okanye ukuba nesazela. Kodwa ke uThixo usazikhathalele nazo. Yiloo nto wathi abantu ‘mabaziphathe.’ UYehova wayenika abantu umsebenzi wokukhathalela izilwanyana. (INdumiso 8:6-8; IMizekeliso 12:10) Ulindele ukuba abantu bawuphathe kakuhle umhlaba nezinto eziphilayo ezikuwo.

Izahluko zokuqala kwiGenesis zithetha ngendalo, umhlaba kunye nezinto eziphilayo ezikuwo. Yonke indalo kaThixo iyamangalisa kodwa abantu zezona zidalwa zihamba phambili. Xa uThixo wagqibayo ukudala, ‘wabona zonke izinto awayezenzile, yaye zazilunge gqitha.’—Genesis 1:31.
