Inkolo yendabuko yamaZulu
Inkolo yendabuko yamaZulu iqukethe izinkolelo nemikhuba engokomoya yabantu abangamaZulu baseningizimu Afrika. Iqukethe onkulunkulu abaningi abavame ukuhlotshaniswa nezilwane noma izigaba ezivamile zezenzakalo zemvelo. U-I-Unkulunkulu waziwa njengoMdali Ophakeme.
[1]Njengezinye izinkolo zamaBantu, abalandeli benkolo yesiko lamaZulu bakholelwa ekuhlonipheni okhokho (Ama-Amadlozi). UUnkulunkulu ungunkulunkulu ophakeme kakhulu futhi ungumsunguli wesintu.
UmkhuluwoMkhulu ("Omkhulu Yedwa") wadalelwa Ohlanga, [2] emaxhaphozini amakhulu omhlanga, ngaphambi kokuba afike eMhlabeni. Abantu ngokwendlela yokuziphatha[3] noma ukuziphatha kwabo ekwahluleleni kwakhe noma "ukuqonda i-Ultimate Reality".
[4]U-Unkulunkulu ngezinye izikhathi uhlanganiswa nonkulunkulu wesibhakabhaka uMvelinqangi[5] (okusho ukuthi "owayeseqophelweni"), unkulunkulu ukuduma, ukuzamazama komhlaba onelinye igama lakhe ngu-Unsondo, futhi uyindodana kaUnkulunkulu, uBaba, noNomkhubulwane, uMama. [6]
Igama elithi nomkhubulwane lisho ukuthi umuntu oshintsha isimo sibe yinoma yiluphi uhlobo lwesilwane. Elinye igama elinikezwe umuntu ophakeme u-Umkhuluwomkhulu uSomandla, umthombo wokugcina wakho konke ukuba khona. Abafuduki baseYurophu basebenzisa igama elithi Unkulunkulu ukuze bazame ukuchaza inkolelo yabo kUNkulunkulu weBhayibheli kubantu baseZululand.
