Makube Yizwe Elimangalisayo Ngobusuku Bangaphambi kukaKhisimusi

Idolobhana laseBetlehema, elivame ukujabulisa abantu ngemikhosi eyandulela olwandulela uKhisimuzi, libonakale liyigwadule namuhla, ngo-December 24. IBhetlehema isendaweni engamakhilomitha angu-10 eningizimu yedolobha laseJerusalema, endaweni enezintaba ezivundile zeZwe Elingcwele. Kusukela okungenani ngekhulu lesi-2 AD abantu baye bakholelwa ukuthi indawo lapho iSonto Lokuzalwa KukaKristu, IBhetlehema, manje kulapho uJesu azalelwa khona.

Imihlobiso evamile yemikhosi nomoya weholide wawungekho eManger Square, ngokungabikhona okuphawulekayo kwezivakashi zakwamanye amazwe ezivame ukuhlangana ukuze zikhumbule umcimbi. Amasosha ezokuphepha asePalestine abonakale ezulazula esigcawini esingenalutho, kanti ezinye izitolo zezipho zavulwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kusihlwa ngemuva kokuba imvula isiyibohlile.

Naphezu kwesimo esinzima, izivakashi ezimbalwa kakhulu ezabonwa eBetlehema. Kulo nyaka indawo yokuzalwa kukaJesu ayinaso isihlahla sikaKhisimusi nezibani zikaKhisimusi ngemva kokuhoxiswa kwemikhosi kaKhisimusi.

UKhisimusi kufanele ube yisikhathi esihle kakhulu sonyaka kumaKristu angaphezu kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-2.38.

Kunezingoma eziningi zikaKhisimusi ezinhle, kodwa mhlawumbe Izwe Elimangalisayo likaLouis Armstrong lihumusha lomoya kuwo wonke umuntu, kulandelwa imikhonzo kaKhisimusi ngezilimi ezingaphezu kwe-100.

Izwe Elimangalisayo

Ngibona izihlahla eziluhlaza - ama roses abomvu nawo - ngiyawabona eqhakaza - Kimi nawe - Futhi ngicabanga kimina

Ngibona isibhakabhaka esiluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka - namafu amhlophe - Usuku olubusisiwe olukhanyayo - Ubusuku obungcwele obumnyama - Futhi ngicabanga kimi - Yeka umhlaba omangalisayo

Imibala yothingo - Mihle kakhulu esibhakabhakeni - Isebusweni futhi - Kubantu abadlulayo - ngibona abangani bexhawulana - Bethi, "Kunjani?" - Basho ngempela - ngiyakuthanda

Ngizwa izingane zikhala - Ngizibuka zikhula - Zizofunda okuningi - Kunokuba ngiyoke ngazi
Futhi ngiyazicabangela - Yeka umhlaba omangalisayo - Yebo, ngicabanga kimi - Yeka umhlaba omangalisayo - Ooh, yebo
