13 Kululo tungi ilino niamahala anyu, mutule miapolo mumasigo anyu, mutula nuugimya nuukendo uo nauletilwa kitalanyu imatungo nakukunukuilwa u Yesu Kilisto.
Ngakho-ke, lungiselani ingqondo zenu okungenziwa; zithibeni; bekani ithemba lenu ngokupheleleyo emuseni elizawuthola lapho uJesu Khristu esebonakaliswa.
14 Anga iang'enya niakete ikilyo, muleke kutungwa ni nsula izo nai mutyatile imatungo naimukili miagila imahala.

18 Mulingile kina singa ai mpia ang'wi dhahabu, maintu nigazika ayo nimugunilwe kupuma muntendo yanyu nia upugu, izo naimimanyisilye kupuma kua tata anyu.
Ngoba liyakwazi ukuthi kalihlengwanga ngezinto ezifayo ezinjengegolide lesiliva endleleni yokuphila eyize elakutshiyelwa ngokhokho benu,
19 Kululo mugunilwe nasakami iyi ni kulyo lang'wa Kilisto, anga na nkolo ningila uwilu ni bado.

20 Ukilisto aukoli ka nu ng'wandyo wa unkuloigulu aukili, ingi gwa itungili imahiku aya nampelo wakunukulwa kitalanyu.
Wakhethwa umhlaba ungakadalwa, kodwa wabonakaliswa ngalezi izikhathi zokucina ngenxa yenu.
21 Mumuhuie Itunda kukiila ng'wenso, ni Tunda aumutyatile kupuma kuashi hangi naumupee ukulu kina uhuili wanyu nugimya wanyu utule kung'wi Tunda.
Ngaye liyakholwa kuNkulunkulu, owamvusa kwabafileyo wamnika inkazimulo, ngakho ukukholwa kwenu lethemba kukuNkulunkulu.
22 Mitumile inkolo yanyu kutula nzelu kua ugombi nua tai iyo, kunsoko au lowi nuakinyandugu nuugoloki, kululo ilowi kungulu kupuma munkolo yanyu.
Njengoba khathesi selizihlambulule ngokulalela iqiniso ukuze libe lothando oluqotho kubazalwane benu, thandanani kakhulu, kusuka enhliziyweni.
23 Malelwa kulukangala laka biili, singa kumbeu nigazika, ingi kupuma kumbeu nisinga igazika, kukiila upanga nulukani lang'wi Tunda nulusagiie. (aiōn )
Ngoba selizelwe kutsha, kungasikho ngenhlanyelo ebolayo, kodwa ngengaboliyo, ngelizwi eliphilayo eliqinileyo likaNkulunkulu. (aiōn )
24 Kunsoko, imiili ihi anga imatutu nuukulu wakwe anga iua niti tutu. Itutu linyala iua ligwiza.
Ngoba, “Abantu bonke banjengotshani, bonke ubukhosi babo bunjengamaluba eganga; utshani buyabuna njalo amaluba ayakhithika,
25 Kululo ulukani la mukulu lisiga ikalinakali ulu ailukani nailutanantigwe kitalanyu. (aiōn )
kodwa ilizwi leNkosi limi kuze kube nini lanini.” Njalo leli yilo ilizwi elatshunyayelwa kini. (aiōn )
