Umlando kaNowa (UGenesise 5: 3 - UGenesise 6: 9a)

Ukhokho lukaNowa kusukela ku-Adamu (Genesise 5: 3 - Genesise 5:32)

Okuqukethwe kulo mlando kaNowa kufaka phakathi ukulandelela kusuka ku-Adam kwehle kuze kufike kuNowa, ukuzalwa kwamadodana akhe amathathu, kanye nokukhula kobubi ezweni langaphambi kukazamcolo.

UGenesise 5: 25-27 unikeza umlando kaMethuselah. Sekukonke, waphila iminyaka engama-969 ubude kunabo bonke ubude bokuphila obunikezwe eBhayibhelini. Kusukela ekubaleni iminyaka kusuka ekuzalweni kuye ekuzalweni (kukaLameka, uNowa, kanye neminyaka kaNowa lapho kufika uzamcolo) kuzokhombisa ukuthi uMethuselah washona ngawo lowo nyaka njengoba kwafika uzamcolo. Ukuthi washona kuzamcolo noma ekuqaleni konyaka ngaphambi kokuqala kukaZamcolo asinabo ubufakazi noma iyiphi indlela.

Kumele kuqashelwe lapha ukuthi umbhalo wamaMasorete okusekelwe kuwo izinguqulo eziningi wehlukile kwi-Greek Septuagint (LXX) nePentateuch yaseSamariya. Kunokwehluka eminyakeni lapho beqala ukuba ngubaba nokwehluka eminyakeni kuze kube sekushoneni kwabo ngemuva kokuzala indodana yabo yokuqala. Kodwa-ke, iminyaka yokufa iyafana kubo bonke abayisishiyagalombili cishe kuzo zonke izimo. Umehluko ungokaLamech kuzo zombili i-LXX ne-SP kanye ne-Methuselah ye-SP. (Lezi zihloko zisebenzisa imininingwane evela ku-NWT (Reference) Bible of 8 Revision, ngokususelwa embhalweni wamaMasorete.)

Ngabe umbhalo wamaMasorete noma umbhalo we-LXX kungenzeka ukuthi wonakaliswe maqondana nombhalo kanye neminyaka yokhokho base-Ante-Diluvian? Ukuqonda kungaphakamisa ukuthi kuzoba yi-LXX. I-LXX ekuqaleni yayiyobe nokusatshalaliswa okulinganiselwe ezinsukwini zayo zokuqala, (ikakhulukazi i-Alexandria), maphakathi no-3^rd Ikhulu leminyaka BCE c. 250BCE, kanti ngaleso sikhathi imibhalo yesiHeberu kamuva eyaba ngumbhalo wamaMasorete yasatshalaliswa kabanzi ezweni lamaJuda. Ngakho-ke kungaba nzima kakhulu ukufaka amaphutha embhalweni wesiHeberu.

Izikhathi zokuphila ezinikezwe zombili imibhalo ye-LXX neMasoretic zinde kakhulu kunendlela esiyijwayele namuhla njengoba kunjalo ngeminyaka baba ngobaba ngayo. Imvamisa, i-LXX ingeza iminyaka eyi-100 kule minyaka futhi inciphisa iminyaka ngemuva kokuba ngubaba ngeminyaka eyi-100. Kodwa-ke, ngabe lokho kusho ukuthi iminyaka yokufa esemakhulwini eminyaka ayilungile, futhi ingabe bukhona obunye ubufakazi obungezelele eBhayibhelini bohlu lozalo olusuka ku-Adamu kuye kuNowa?

Kubonakala kuneminye imikhondo yokuphila isikhathi eside ezikhathini zasendulo kweminye imiphakathi. INew Ungers Bible Handbook ithi "Ngokwe-Weld-Blundell Prism, amakhosi ayisishiyagalombili angaphambi kukazamcolo abusa phezu kwamadolobha aphansi aseMesopotamiya i-Eridu, iBadtibira, iLarak, iSippar neShuruppak; futhi isikhathi sokubusa kwabo esihlanganisiwe saba neminyaka engama-241,200 (isikhathi esifushane kakhulu kwaba yiminyaka engu-18,600 43,200, isikhathi eside kunayo yonke engama-3 XNUMX). UBerossus, umpristi waseBabiloni (ngekhulu lesi-XNUMX BC), ubala amagama ayishumi kuwo wonke (esikhundleni samashumi ayisishiyagalombili) bese eqhubeka enza ihaba ubude bokubusa kwabo. Ezinye izizwe nazo zinamasiko okuphila isikhathi esidlule. ”[i] [Ii]

Umhlaba uba mubi kakhulu (Genesise 6: 1-8)

UGenesise 6: 1-9 uqopha ukuthi amadodana omoya kaNkulunkulu weqiniso aqala kanjani ukuqaphela amadodakazi abantu futhi azithathela abafazi abaningi. (UGenesise 6: 2 kwi-LXX "unezingelosi" esikhundleni samadodana.) Lokhu kuholele ekuzalweni kwezinhlamvu ezixutshiwe, ezibizwa ngamaNefili, okuyigama lesiHeberu elisho "abawisi", noma "labo abawisa abanye phansi" empandeni yayo "naphal", okusho "ukuwa". Ukhonkodensi kaStrong ukuhumusha ngokuthi “Imidondoshiya”.

Kwakungalesi sikhathi iBhayibheli lithi uNkulunkulu wanquma ukunciphisa isikhathi sokuphila komuntu sibe yiminyaka eyi-120 (uGenesise 6: 3). Kuyathakazelisa ukuqaphela ukuthi ngaphandle kwentuthuko yezokwelapha zesimanje ekwandiseni isilinganiso seminyaka yokuphila kwabantu, labo bantu abaphila ngaphezu kweminyaka eyikhulu basembalwa kakhulu. Ngokusho kweGuinness Book of World Records, "Umuntu omdala kunabo bonke owake waphila nomuntu omdala kunabo bonke owake (wesifazane) wayekhona UJeanne Louise Calment (b. 21 Febhuwari 1875) wase-Arles, eFrance owashona eneminyaka engu-122 nezinsuku eziyi-164 ubudala. ”[Iii]. Umuntu ophilayo omdala kunabo bonke "UKane Tanaka (Japan, b. 2 Januwari 1903) umuntu omdala kunabo bonke ophila njengamanje futhi umuntu omdala kunabo bonke ophila (owesifazane) eneminyaka evuthiwe yeminyaka eyi-117 nezinsuku ezingama-41 (kuqinisekiswe ngomhlaka 12 kuNhlolanja 2020) ”.[Iv] Lokhu kungabonakala njengokuqinisekisa ukuthi umkhawulo wokuphila weminyaka kubantu iminyaka eyi-120, ngokuvumelana noGenesise 6: 3 owabhalwa okungenani eminyakeni engama-3,500 XNUMX eyedlule nguMose, futhi wahlanganisa emibhalweni yomlando eyanikezwa yena kusukela esikhathini sikaNowa .

Ububi obabudlangile babangela uNkulunkulu ukuthi athi uzosula leso sizukulwane esibi ebusweni bomhlaba, ngaphandle kukaNowa owathola umusa emehlweni kaNkulunkulu (uGenesise 6: 8).
