Aliança
A aliança é o modo como Deus se relaciona com seu povo. Da aliança com Noé à Nova Aliança em Cristo, Deus se compromete com amor e fidelidade irrevogáveis.
Alianças com Israel
Deus firmou aliança com Abraão, Moisés e Davi. No arco-íris, na lei, nas promessas — Ele é o Deus da aliança.
Yamalhekeru, Nlhuku nkeerelha Anuhu ni achishaana aya wiira, "Kinoweesha malhehano aka ni inyu ni iyari inyu inowa ni cho wuupiya chikumi chonkhaye, ni ashinuni ni ashinama o uhuwiya ni o mwiithuphini onkhaye aakhumme nsafinani vamoka ni inyu. Kinoopanga malhehano aka ni inyu wiira, mena cho wuupiya chonkhaye khachinowa cheeviya ni niwambwe, mena khinowa yaakhumelhelha tho niwambwe no ulhakalhiha ilhapo." Tho, Nlhuku aheera, "Nna phi nthonyero no malhehano anopanga aka variyari ihu ni kila yo wuupiya irii ikumi vamoka ni inyu mwaatti, ni wo iyari chinyu chinowa chonkhaye. Kiheesha nikhwii naka umahuteni ninohalha ukhalha phi nthonyero no malhehano variyari aka ni ilhapo.
Kinoopanga malhehano aka ni inyu wiira, mena cho wuupiya chonkhaye khachinowa cheeviya ni niwambwe, mena khinowa yaakhumelhelha tho niwambwe no ulhakalhiha ilhapo."
Kiheesha nikhwii naka umahuteni ninohalha ukhalha phi nthonyero no malhehano variyari aka ni ilhapo.
Nenno nihuku nno Apwiiya Nlhuku nkayeesha malhehano ni Naabramu yeeraka, "Kinoowa kaavaha iyari inyu ilha ilhapo ilha, toka mwolhoko wo Naili wo Umisri mpaka mwolhoko muulhupalhe wo Yufrati ulhe, yaani ilhapo ya Aakeni, Aakenizi, Akadimoni, Ahiti, Aperizi, Arefai Aamori, Akanaani, Agirgashi ni Ayebusi."
Vavawo Naabramu nkayaawulhuwa makukhu. Apwiiya Nlhuku nkayeera, "Alha phi malhehano aneesha aka ni inyu. Nnowa ukhalha athumwanaya attu o makosho menchi, ni toka vano nna, khanneehaniya tho Abramu nansho nnohalha wiihaniya, Aburahimu. Ukhalhawaya kihoopangani ukhalha athumwanaya attu o makosho menchi. Kinouvahani iyari yinchi chinene, uwaninyu anowa ukhuma makosho menchi ni akina anowa ukhalha mamwene."
"Kinooshunga malhehano aka ukhalha o mahuku o uhimalha, iyari inyu ni iyari chaya chonkhaye, tho kinookhalha Nlhuku inyu ni Nlhuku o iyari chinyu mahuku o uhimalha. Kinouvahani inyuva ni iyari inyu, ilha ilhapo inokhalha inyu thoko nlheto ilha, yaani ilhapo yo Kanaani ikhalhe yawinyu mahuku o uhimalha. Ni mii kinookhalha Nlhuku aya."
Yamalhekeru, Apwiiya Nlhuku nkayeerelha Aburahimu, "Ni inyu, nnoovarelha malhehano aka mwaanene, iyari inyu ni iyari chaya chonkhaye. Malhehano aka, anohalha inyu uvarelha inyuva ni iyari inyu phi alha. Kila nlhopwana munlhokoni mwinyu hothananiya lazima eenelhiye unyawo. Nnowiinelhiya unyawo ukhalha phi iphiro yo wooniha malhehano variyari aka mii ni inyu mwaatti.
Vaari aya iyaakha yo khumi ni ncheshe amwene Nakedorlameri ni mamwene ashikhunanaya alhe yahowaacha ni waakottolha attu o Urefaimu, Uashtaroth karnaimu, ni attu o Uzuzi o Uhamu ni attu o Uemi o Ushawe kiriathaimu,
Vano etu, mwavaraka nlhove naka ni uvarechesha malhehano aka, nnookhalha attu aka othanlhiya munlhokoni mwo attu o ilhapo yonkhaye. Ukhalhawaya ilhapo yonkhaye yawaka.
Miinano cho ilhapo inyu iyo chinowa ukhalha ukhuma ibahari yo Ushamu mpaka ibahari yo Umedeteraniya. Ni ukhuma uthakoni mpaka mwoolhoko wo Yufrati. Ukhalhawaya kinowaahelha mmathathani mwinyu anenchi o yeyo ilhapo iyo, ni inyu nnowoomolha wiira athamache. Nhilhehane ittu iriyoothe ni yayo attu ayo, mena ni milhuku chaya.
Apwiiya Nlhuku nkayaakhulha, "Mwooneke, Kinoopanga malhehano ni inyu. Kinoopanga cho ushangiha chulhupalhe umihoolho wa attu inyu uno yoonaka. Cho ushangiha chihinapacha ata ntu mmoka upanga velhaponi va. Attu onkhaye ari vakhiviru ni inyu, anowoona chittu chulhupalhe chinohalha aka upanga mii, Apwiiya Nlhuku. Kinoupangelhani chittu cho ushangiha chinene.
Ashinna Musa ahokhalha umwaakoni uwo vamoka ni Apwiiya Nlhuku mahuku makhumi ncheshe, uthana ni uhiyu. Khayaalhilhie wala uwuria ittu iriyoothe. Nkayaalhepa malhove onkhaye o malhehano, malheheriyo khumi ayo.

Ni ayo ahouhimeriani malhehano aya, nkayootangelhani wiira, nvarecheshe ni urumelhelha iamuri khumi chaalhempe aya vachulhu ivibau piilhi cho malhuku chilhe.
Paahi, nchuwelheke etu wiira, Apwiiya Nlhuku inyu phi Nlhuku, Nlhuku o ukhulhuvelhiya, novarechesha malhehano awe, ni nowooniha urera wawe iyari chinchi cha attu anovarechesha iamuri chawe.
Alianças renovadas
O povo renovava a aliança diante do Senhor. A fidelidade de Deus permanece mesmo quando o povo falha.
Paahi attu nkayaathama vamapuroni waya ni urwaa ulhapuwani mwoolhoko wo Uyorodani, ni opochera ishaani anookusha Nsanduku no Malhehano alhe yahaaholhelha attu uholho. Ni nkwaha etu yayo aankushe Nsanduku no Malhehano inyaa chaya chanyikalheke mwiinano wo mwoolhoko wo Uyorodani,
Mwolhoko o Uyorodani wahochara ikatema wo nlhaalha, maashi aakholha ukhuma uchulhu aheemelha ni ucharaana naawanelha mpaka Uadamu uwo, iwani yaatamanne ni iwani yo Usarathani. Maashi aakhoolha ya holhutana urwaa ibahari yo Maakha, ahowelhelha attu nkayaalhapuwa uhoolho wo Uyeriko. Ikatema attu o Uisraeli vaalhapuwa aya, opochera ishaani aakusha Nsanduku aheemelha vakittu vo wuuma iriyari yo mwoolhoko Yorodani mpaka attu onkhaye nkayaalhapuwa.
Paahi attu o Uisraeli ahowonya tho umihoolho wa Apwiiya Nlhuku. Apwiiya Nlhuku nkayaavaha machiri amwene Naegloni o Umoabu wiira aate attu o Uisraeli, wo nlhatu no uwonya umihoolho wa Apwiiya Nlhuku. Ni ayo Nagloni nkayaakumaniha attu o Uamoni ni attu o Uamaleki, nkayaarwaa waatakana ni attu o Uisraeli, nkayaakottolha. Nkayaavara mateeka iwani yo miri cho Mitende yaani iwani yo Uyeriko.

Eis que dias vêm em que farei nova aliança. Jesus é mediador de uma aliança superior, fundamentada em melhores promessas.

Nansho Yerusalemu yo wiirimu uchulhu phi iwani ya aneethi, urii phi anumwanihu.
Fidelidade da aliança
A aliança de Deus é eterna. Ele não quebra seu pacto nem altera o que saiu dos seus lábios.
