Ingxelo ngoXOLO eyenziwa yiNtlanganiso yoNyaka ngowe-1987
Thina Bahlobo baseAotearoa-New Zealand sithumela imibuliso yothando kubo bonke abantu beli lizwe, kwaye siyanicela ukuba niyithathele ingqalelo le ngxelo, ibhekiswa kuni, apho sonke sivumelana njengamntu mnye. Lifikile ixesha lokuba sithathe amanyathelo acacileyo kuluntu malunga nomba wobundlobongela.
Sichasa ngokupheleleyo zonke iimfazwe, onke amalungiselelo emfazwe, konke ukusetyenziswa kwezixhobo kunye nokunyanzeliswa ngenkani, nazo zonke izivumelwano zomkhosi; asikho isiphelo esinokuzithethelela iindlela ezinjalo.
Sichasa ngokulinganayo nangokusebenzayo konke okukhokelela kubundlobongela phakathi kwabantu nezizwe, kunye nobundlobongela kwezinye iintlobo kunye neplanethi yethu. Obu ibibubungqina bethu kwihlabathi liphela ngaphezulu kweenkulungwane ezintathu.
Asinangqondo okanye asinalwazi malunga nokuntsonkotha kwehlabathi lethu lanamhlanje kunye nefuthe lobuchwephesha obuntsonkothileyo - kodwa asiboni sizathu nokuba sitshintshe okanye senze buthathaka umbono wethu woxolo olufunwa ngumntu wonke ukuze siphile kwaye sichume kumhlaba onempilo, ophuphumayo. .
Esona sizathu siyintloko sokuma kukweyiseka kwethu ukuba kukho uThixo kuye wonk’ ubani owenza umntu ngamnye axabiseke kakhulu ukuba amonakalise okanye atshabalalise.
Ngelixa umntu ehlala kusoloko kukho ithemba lokufikelela kokukaThixo ngaphakathi kuye: elo themba likhuthaza ukhangelo lwethu lokufumana isisombululo esingenabundlobongela songquzulwano.
Abantu abanoxolo bomelezwa nayiloo nto kaThixo ekubo. Izakhono zethu zobuntu, isibindi, unyamezelo, kunye nobulumko zongezwa kakhulu ngamandla oMoya onothando odibanisa bonke abantu.
Ukwala ukulwa ngezixhobo akuthethi ukunikezela. Asiphosi maseko xa sisongelwa ngababawayo, abakhohlakeleyo, oozwilakhe, nabangenabulungisa.
Siya kusokola ukususa oonobangela bokungqubana kunye nokujongana ngezikhondo zamehlo ngazo zonke iindlela zokunganyangeki. Akukho siqinisekiso sokuba ukuxhathisa kwethu kuya kuba yimpumelelo ngakumbi okanye nayiphi na ingozi engaphantsi kwamaqhinga omkhosi. Ubuncinci iindlela zethu ziya kusifanela isiphelo sethu.
Ukuba kubonakala ngathi siyasilela ekugqibeleni, sikhetha ukubandezeleka size sife kunokuba senze ububi ukuze sizisindise noko sikuxabisayo. Ukuba siyaphumelela, akukho mntu ungaphumeleliyo okanye ophumeleleyo, kuba ingxaki ekhokelele kungquzulwano iya kube isonjululwe ngomoya wobulungisa nokunyamezelana.
Isigqibo esinjalo sikuphela kwesiqinisekiso sokuba akusayi kuphinda kuqhambuke imfazwe xa icala ngalinye lifumene amandla kwakhona. Umongo esima ngawo ngeli xesha lizinga elikhulayo lobundlobongela obusingqongileyo: ukuxhatshazwa kwabantwana; udlwengulo; ukubetha umfazi; uhlaselo lwasesitratweni; udushe; ividiyo kunye nomsindo kamabonwakude; ubundlobongela obuthe cwaka bezoqoqosho kunye namaziko; ukuxhaphaka kokuthuthunjiswa; ukuphulukana nenkululeko; ucalucalulo ngokwesini; ubuhlanga kunye nobukoloniyali; ubunqolobi babanqolobi namajoni karhulumente; kunye nokuphambukiswa kobutyebi obuninzi bemali kunye nomsebenzi ukusuka ekutyeni nakwintlalontle ukuya kwiinjongo zomkhosi.
Kodwa ngaphezulu nangaphaya kwayo yonke le nto, kukuqokelelwa ngobugeza kwezixhobo zenyukliya ezinokutshabalalisa wonke umntu nayo yonke into esiyixabisileyo kwiplanethi yethu.
Ukucamngca ngolo hlobo lothuso kunokusenza siphelelwe lithemba okanye singakhathali, siqaqadeke okanye sigqabhuke.
Sibongoza bonke abantu baseNew Zealand ukuba babe nesibindi sokujongana nobugxwayiba obenzeka abantu behlabathi lethu kwaye babe nokholo nenkuthalo yokulicoca nokubuyisela ucwangco olucetywa nguThixo. Kufuneka siqale ngeentliziyo neengqondo zethu. Iimfazwe ziya kuphela xa ngamnye wethu eqinisekile ukuba imfazwe ayinakuze ibe yindlela.
Iindawo zokuqalisa ukufumana izakhono kunye nokuqola kunye nesisa sokuphepha okanye ukusombulula iingxabano kumakhaya ethu, kubudlelwane bethu bobuqu, ezikolweni zethu, kwiindawo zethu zokusebenza, kwaye naphi na apho izigqibo zithathwa khona.
Simele siwuyeke umnqweno wokuba nabanye abantu, ukuba negunya phezu kwabo, nokunyanzelisa iimbono zethu kubo. Kufuneka sibe necala lethu elibi kwaye singajongi i-scapegoats esinokuyibeka ityala, sisohlwaye, okanye sibakhuphele ngaphandle. Kufuneka sixhathise umnqweno wokufuna inkcitho kunye nokuqokelela izinto esinazo.
Ungquzulwano alunakuphepheka kwaye akufunekanga lucinezelwe okanye lungahoywa kodwa lusonjululwe kabuhlungu nangenyameko. Kufuneka siphuhlise izakhono zokuba novelwano kwingcinezelo nezikhalazo, sabelane ngamandla ekwenziweni kwezigqibo, ekudaleni imvisiswano, kunye nokwenza imbuyekezo.
Xa sithetha ngokuphandle, siyavuma ukuba nathi silinganiselwe yaye siyaphazama njengaye nabani na. Xa sivavanywa, ngamnye wethu usenokungaphumeleli.
Asinayo iplani yoxolo echaza onke amanyathelo akhokelela kwinjongo esabelana ngayo. Kuyo nayiphi na imeko ethile, izigqibo zobuqu ezahlukahlukeneyo zinokwenziwa ngengqibelelo.
Sisenokungavumelani neembono nezenzo zezobupolitika okanye ijoni elikhetha isisombululo somkhosi, kodwa siyamhlonela yaye simxabisile loo mntu.
Into esiyibizayo kule nkcazo kukuzibophelela ekwenzeni ukwakhiwa koxolo kube yinto ephambili kunye nokwenza inkcaso kwimfazwe ngokupheleleyo.
Into esiyikhuthazayo ayingowamaQuaker kuphela kodwa ingabantu kwaye, siyakholelwa, kukuthanda kukaThixo. Ukuma kwethu akukokwaBahlobo kuphela - kokwakho ngelungelo lokuzalwa.
Sicela umngeni kubantu baseNew Zealand ukuba baphakame kwaye babalwe kwinto engekho ngaphantsi kwesiqinisekiso sobomi kunye nesiphelo soluntu.
Sikunye, masichase intswahla yoloyiko kwaye simamele ukusebeza kwethemba.

Sixhasa ngenkuthalo iinkqubo ezizezinye zokusombulula impixano nobundlobongela ngaphakathi naphakathi kwezizwe. “Sizichasa ngokupheleleyo zonke iimfazwe, onke amalungiselelo emfazwe, konke ukusetyenziswa kwezixhobo nokunyanzeliswa ngenkani, nayo yonke izivumelwano zomkhosi; asikho isiphelo esinokuzithethelela iindlela ezinjalo.
