1 ⲁ̅ ⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϥⲟⲛϩ
Kalazi yini, bazalwane (ngoba ngikhuluma lalabo abawaziyo umlayo), ukuthi umlayo ubusa umuntu selokhu esaphila?
2 ⲃ̅ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲙⲛϩⲁⲓ ⲥⲙⲏⲣ ⲉⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲥⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲡϩⲁⲓ
Ngoba umfazi owendileyo ubotshelwe ngomlayo endodeni ephilayo; kodwa uba indoda isifile, ukhululiwe emlayweni wendoda.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲁⲣⲁ ϭⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡϩⲁⲓ ⲟⲛϩ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲉⲥϣⲁⲛϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲕⲉϩⲁⲓ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛ ⲡϩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲣⲙϩⲏ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲉⲥϣⲁⲛϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲕⲉϩⲁⲓ
Ngakho uba indoda isaphila, uzathiwa yisifebe uba esiba ngowenye indoda; kodwa uba indoda isifile, ukhululekile emlayweni, ukuze angabi yisifebe uba esiba ngowenye indoda.
4 ⲇ̅ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϯ ⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
Ngakho, bazalwane bami, selenziwe lafa lani emlayweni ngomzimba kaKristu, ukuze libe ngabomunye, ngabalowo owavuswa kwabafileyo, ukuze sithelele uNkulunkulu izithelo.
5 ⲉ̅ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲙⲡⲁⲑⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϯ ⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲩ
Ngoba sathi sisenyameni, inkanuko zezono ezingomlayo zasebenza ezithweni zethu ukuthelela ukufa izithelo.
6 ⲋ̅ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲉⲩⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲣϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲃⲣⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲁ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲁⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ
Kodwa khathesi-ke sesikhululiwe emthethweni, sifile mayelana lalokho esasibanjwe yikho, ukuze sikhonze ngobutsha bomoya, njalo kungeyisikho ngobudala bokulotshiweyo.
7 ⲍ̅ ⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁϫⲟⲟϥ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛⲥⲁⲃⲏⲗ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓ
Pho-ke sizakuthini? Umthetho uyisono yini? Phinde! Kodwa bengingasazi isono, ngaphandle ngomthetho; ngoba bengingawazi umhawu futhi, uba umthetho ubungatshongo ukuthi: Ungabi lomhawu.
8 ⲏ̅ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲇⲉ ϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲫⲟⲣⲙⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲁϥⲣϩⲱⲃ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁϫⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ
Kodwa isono, sizuze ithuba ngomthetho, sasebenza kimi umhawu wonke; ngoba ngaphandle komlayo isono sifile.
Mina-ke ngake ngaphila ngaphandle komlayo; kodwa kwathi sekufike umthetho, isono savuka, njalo ngafa mina;
njalo umthetho ongowempilo, wona waficwa yimi ungowokufa;
ngoba isono, sizuze ithuba ngomthetho, sangikhohlisa, sangibulala ngawo.
Ngakho umthetho ungcwele, lomlayo ungcwele njalo ulungile, futhi muhle.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ϭⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲡⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲣϩⲟⲩⲉⲣⲉϥⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ
Ngakho okulungileyo kwaba yikufa kimi yini? Phinde! Kodwa isono, ukuze sibonakaliswe ukuthi siyisono, sisebenza ukufa kimi ngokulungileyo; ukuze isono ngomthetho sibe yikonakala okukhulu kakhulu.
Ngoba siyazi ukuthi umthetho ungowomoya; kanti mina ngingowenyama, ngithengisiwe ngaphansi kwesono.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲡⲉϯⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉϯⲟⲩⲁϣϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉϯⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉϯⲙⲟⲥⲧⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉϯⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
Ngoba lokhu engikwenzayo, angivumelanilakho; ngoba kakusikho engikuthandayo, lokho engikwenzayo; kodwa lokho engikuzondayo, yikho engikwenzayo.
Uba ngisenza lokho engingakuthandiyo, ngiyawuvumela umthetho ukuthi ulungile.
Kodwa khathesi-ke kakuseyimi engikwenzayo, kodwa yisono esihlala kimi.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ϥⲕⲏ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ
Ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi kimi, lokhu kuyikuthi enyameni yami, kakuhlali okuhle; ngoba kukhona ukuthanda kimi, kodwa ukwenza okuhle kangikutholi.
Ngoba okuhle engikuthandayo, kangikwenzi; kodwa okubi engingakuthandiyo, yikho engikwenzayo.
20 ⲕ̅ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϯⲟⲩⲁϣϥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉϯⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏϩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧ
Kodwa uba ngisenza lokho mina engingakuthandiyo, kakuseyimi engikwenzayo, kodwa yisono esihlala kimi.
Ngakho ngithola umthetho wokuthi lapho ngithanda ukwenza okuhle, okubi kukhona kimi.
Ngoba ngiyathokoza emthethweni kaNkulunkulu ngomuntu ophakathi;
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ϯⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲕⲉⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉϥϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲁⲓⲭⲙⲁⲗⲱⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ
kodwa ngibona ezithweni zami omunye umthetho olwa lomthetho wengqondo yami, longithumbela emthethweni wesono osezithweni zami.
Mina muntu olusizi! Ngubani ozangikhulula kulumzimba walokhukufa?
25 ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲏⲡ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲣⲁ ϭⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ϯⲟ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ
Ngiyabonga uNkulunkulu ngoJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu. Ngalokho-ke mina ngokwami ngikhonza umthetho kaNkulunkulu ngengqondo, kodwa ngenyama umthetho wesono.
