2 Mvalage uluhekelo fincho, valukolo lwangu, wumgenda mbukuvilwa wingi,
Kubaleni ukuthi kuyintokozo yonke, bazalwane bami, nxa liwela ezilingweni ezizinhlobonhlobo,
3 Mgalumanye uhugeliwa kulwedeko lwenyo khukhupata ukwiyumilincha.
lisazi ukuthi ukuhlolwa kokholo lwenu kuveza ukubekezela;
4 Muleghe ukwiyumilincha, mmale imbombo ya mwene, ukhuta mudulughe vunono, pasita khupungukiwa khulilyoni.
kodwa ukubekezela kakube lomsebenzi opheleleyo, ukuze libe ngabapheleleyo liphelelisiwe, lingasileli ngalutho.
5 Igava umunu pagati paliyumu ilonda ulugano, adovage ukhuma kwa Nguluve, uvihumya khukisa ulwa uhuva ihumya ghinchila khuhovela kuvidova, euhuvapa ulugano.
Njalo uba kukhona kini oswele inhlakanipho, kacele kuNkulunkulu ophanayo ngesihle kubo bonke, futhi engasoli, njalo uzayinikwa.
6 Mdovaghe kulwidiko, pasita uvudwanchi, ulwa kuva uvudwanchi vuhwanine nde mepo eyelimunyanja, yitoliwa ne mepu nu khutagiwa khona nukhwo.
Kodwa kacele ekholweni engathandabuzi ngalutho; ngoba othandabuzayo unjengegagasi lolwandle eliqhutshwa ngumoya lizuliswe.
7 Ulwakhuva umunu uyo alekhe ukusaga ukhuta akwambililiwa inogwa ncha mwene nu Nguluve;
Ngoba lowomuntu kangacabangi ukuthi uzazuza ulutho eNkosini.
8 Umunu uyo alinamasage gavili, inchila lwidiko mnchila ncha mwene nchoni.
Indoda enhliziyombili iyaphenduphenduka endleleni zayo zonke.
9 Ulukolo uganchu inogiwa ukhiwnye ukhwima khukyanya,
Lomzalwane ophansi kazincome ekuphakameni kwakhe;
10 usikhi gugugwa utayari mumbudwanchi wa mwene, ulwakhuva iyaga ndili vuva elyakukihulu mkhiyalo ekheegenda.
kodwa onothileyo ekuthotshisweni kwakhe; ngoba njengeluba lotshani uzadlula.
11 Elinchuva likhuma amafughe ghinyanya emibeki, amavuva khikwuma khiyancha uvunonu waghene, wifwa. vule vule avanu avatajiri viva vaghanchu kumbombo nchavene.
Ngoba ilanga liphuma lilokutshisa, libunise utshani, leluba labo liwohloke, lobuhle bokubonakala kwalo bunyamalale; ngokunjalo lesinothi sizanyamalala ezindleleni zaso.
12 Isayiwa umunu uvikwumilila mugelo, ulwakhuva aghalesye engelo incho, inkwambilila etaji ya wumi, yevikhiwe kuvala avagholofu wa Nguluve.
Ubusisiwe umuntu obekezelela isilingo; ngoba esehloliwe uzakwemukela umqhele wempilo, iNkosi eyawuthembisa kwabayithandayo.
13 Umunu uviavencha siwesya ukhunchova upwu egeliwa, “Egelo encho nchihuma khwa Nguluve,” ulwakuva uNguluve sigeliwa ni mbivi, nu Nguluve yuywa sikhugela umunu.
Kakulamuntu olingwayo omele athi: Ngilingwa nguNkulunkulu; ngoba uNkulunkulu kalasilingo sokubi, laye uqobo kalingi muntu.
14 Khila munu egeliwa nu vunogwe wa mwene uvuvivi inchikusonga ukhukwega khuvutali.
Kodwa ngulowo lalowo uyalingwa, lapho eyengwa ngezakhe inkanuko, ehugwa;
15 Ulwakhuva uvunogwe wa mbivi wigega unchigo, uvutulanongwa vuholiwa, imbimbi yegadulughe vunonu sisilila khuvufwe.
kuthi lapho inkanuko isikhulelwe ibelethe isono; lesono lapho sesiphelele sizala ukufa.
16 Vagane valukolo lwango msite ukhusyovegha.
Lingakhohliswa, bazalwane bami abathandekayo.
17 Unkwohela khunonu, nukhwohela khwihuma khukyanya, khukwigha pasi, ukhuma khwa Dada va lumuri. Lusiku sikhwanduka ndu mwinchinchi umwukhukwadukhila.
Sonke isipho esihle laso sonke isipho esipheleleyo sivela phezulu, sehla sivela kuYise wezibane, okungekho kuye ukuguquka, kumbe isithunzi sokuphenduka.
18 UNguluve atukhali ufwe ukhutupa uwumi wa limyu lya lweli, tuve ukhuhwanana ndavaholiwa avakhanda avavikhwani fya mwene.
Ngokuthanda kwakhe wasizala ngelizwi leqiniso, ukuze sibe njengezithelo zokuqala zezidalwa zakhe.
19 Mlemanyile eli, vagane valukololwagwa, kila munu yinogiwa avinchaghe epepe va khupulika, asitaghe ukhuva epepe vakhunchova nukhukalala,
Ngakho, bazalwane bami abathandekayo, wonke umuntu umele aphangise ukuzwa, aphuze ukukhuluma, aphuze ukuthukuthela;
20 Ulwa kuva iliyoyo lya munu salilivomba uluhungu lwa Nguluve.
ngoba ukuthukuthela kwendoda kakwenzi ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu.
21 Lino muvinchage kuvuvtali uvulami wa mbivi ni nogwa nchoni, nulwinyisyo mwupelilaghe ilimenyu elivyaliwe ngati yeno, iliwisya ukupoka inumbula nchiyo.
Ngakho selihlubule amanyala wonke lokwanda kakhulu kobubi, lemukele ngobumnene ilizwi eligxunyekiweyo, elilamandla okusindisa imiphefumulo yenu.
22 Litiini neno, msilisikie tu, mkijidanganya nafsi zenu wenyewe.
Kodwa banini ngabenzi belizwi, lingabi ngabezwayo kuphela, lizikhohlisa lina ngokwenu.
23 Uviavenchaga uviepulika elimenyu sikulivombela imbombo avile nde munu uviekilola kumiho nkyovo.
Ngoba uba umuntu engumuzwi welizwi futhi engesimenzi, yena ufanana lendoda ebuka ubuso bayo bemvelo esibukweni;
24 Ukwilola kumincho, usenki usupi isamwa ikihwani kya mwene umwavelile.
ngoba iyazibuka, ibisisuka, ibisihle ikhohlwa ukuthi ibinjani.
25 Umunu uvielola vunonu endangilo nchoni, endagilo eya vudekedeke mbologolo ukwidika endagilo ulwakhuva umwene epulihencha sisamwa, umunu uyu esayiwa wivomba.
Kodwa lowo okhangelisisa emlayweni opheleleyo, lowo owenkululeko, abesebambelela kuwo, yena engesimuzwi okhohlwayo kodwa engumenzi womsebenzi, lo uzakuba ngobusisiweyo ekwenzeni kwakhe.
26 Engave umunu uviavinchaga esaga yuywa ukhuta munu va lwidiko, elemwa ukwulemilila ululimi lwa mwene ekuyesyova enumbula ya mwene na Lwediko lwa mwene.
Uba umuntu phakathi kwenu esithi uyakholwa, uba engalufaki itomu ulimi lwakhe, kodwa akhohlise inhliziyo yakhe, ukukholwa kwalowo kuyize.
27 Ulwidiko ulunonu salunaghike mbologolo mwa Nguluve vitu, ukuvatanga avapina, na vafwele mbugatale wa vene, ukwilolela vavo uvuliasi wa nkilunga.
Ukukholwa okuhlanzekileyo lokungangcoliswanga phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngitsho uBaba yilokhu, ukuhambela izintandane labafelokazi ekuhluphekeni kwabo, lokuzilondoloza engelasici kokomhlaba.
