The Parables Of Bongo by otemanuduno: 8:47am On Oct 10, 2016 |
Bongo 6:1-27 (From the DOCTUFOS) CHAPTER SIX 1. Bongo told the people of Bantoo a parable, about selfishness, saying, it is not good to be selfish. For you cannot know whom shall be saved by your selflessness. But by selfishness shall you save yourself only and not others. 2. A man was walking in his farm with his child, then his son put his leg inside a very large thorn. Now the man took the large thorn and threw it far away, caring not about where it would land. 3. Now three years after, the man went into the farm of a friend. And when they had ended roasting cassava to feed upon, the man went far away to pass out waste. Then he stepped on a large thorn. Now the man observed the thorn carefully and knew that it was the same one which his own son stepped upon in his own farm. 4. Now the man took the thorn and burnt it up. Then he knew that it is not good to cast bad things into any place where other homos also dwell. 5. And Bongo said, you have heard the parable and you know that you should rather destroy evil instead of pushing it to others. 6. Now Bongo spoke another parable concerning selfishness. And Bongo said, when a man was picked from the place where he eats dust and was made the king of a land, he was glad, behaving himself humble. And in him, he knew that he had leprosy, but he did not tell anyone because he did not want to be taken apart. And he continued so until the leprosy was known. 7. Now he remained on the throne with those who did not have leprosy. And the chiefs and the queens fled the palace, because they all feared that they would have the disease also, because they had detected the ailment of the king. 8. Now the other chiefs said, let us choose another king to replace the king, then we shall take the king to the place where the leprous people are kept. But we shall treat the king well, for he shall live in the best of the abodes for the leprous. 9. Then the king refused, saying, is it not better for you all to die for me? Am I not the king of the land? Therefore I shall not leave the throne of my father because of my disease. And the crown shall not leave my head also. 10. When the king was so determined, the homos in the palace all fled and the chiefs did not come to him anymore. 11. Now when the king was left alone in the palace, he knew that it was not good to be alone. And he sought one who shall take him to the place where the leprous people are kept, but there was no one anymore to take him there. 12. Then the king remained in the beauty of the palace all alone, and no one came to bring him food or water. Now when all the food in the palace was exhausted, he began to get hungry. And when he would have gone out to the bush to hunt for animals, his eyes went blind. And his fingers began to chop off. 13. So the king died in the palace and those who perceived his stench knew that he had died. Then was the palace turned into a dunghill, for another palace had been made in the land. 14. So also shall it be for he who is selfish. For that which he keeps for himself alone, when he is dead, shall also die with him. 15. Now Bongo told more parables to the people of the land, from the parable of the wise and the foolish to the parable of the disobedient child. 16. Now this is the parable of the wise and the foolish which Bongo told. And Bongo said, a wise man saw that some strangers were coming to his land with weapons. Then he ran quickly to tell the homos of his land to be prepared for the invaders, because he knew not what they had come to do or where they would begin from. 17. Then the homos of his land got prepared and gave the strangers a surprise attack and overcome them. 18. Now another homo saw that some strangers had entered his land with weapons. And he hid himself among the bushes and trailed them, saying, I shall know where they are heading. Then the homos began to walk towards the house of the man. 19. And it was too late for the man to do anything, because they were already at his door. Then they knocked at the door and before he would do anything, his wife came out to see who was at the door. And they stabbed her such that she died. 20. Now this man shouted when he saw it, but they killed him there immediately. 21. So shall the end of a foolish man be, who saw danger and did not act on time to stop it. 22. Now the parable of the disobedient child is like this: a child was told that it is not good to go to the river alone to swim. Now the child went often to swim all alone, and he was not afraid. 23. And his mother warned him, telling him about many homos who had lost their lives in the water because they went alone and had no helper when they were sinking in the river. 24. Now this young child said, we are not the same. For all those which you have mentioned have no skill in swimming like me. For I win the swimming game every year. And I can never sink in the river. 25. Now this child went alone and swam one day. Then he smashed his head against a boulder which he did not know had just rolled into the river not long before. Now this child fainted in the river and sank. 26. And because no one knew that he went to the river, they did not look for him there until the second day. And they saw his body floating on the surface of the sea, for he had died. 27. Therefore I say to all of you here who have come from Monga and from Luba and in the whole land of Bantoo to listen to my parables: do not disobey your parents in good advice. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

hopefulLandlord: Really? getting popular by irrational dillusion and unstable grips of your claim? As for my friend (JESUS) he's not a fiction or an imaginary character. He lives forever. I promise you this. One day, you shall come to know the truth about Jesus. If you don't believe Jesus exist, will you risk knowing it at the merciless hour.? Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord... If you dont acknowledge now, you might do latter. By then it will be too late to repent. Pain you too |
