Bhaloma 7
1 Ashaapwanga, ngunabheleketa na mmanganyanji nkujimanyanga shalia ja a Musha, nkakumumanyanga kuti shalia jinakuntagwala mundu ali jwankoto?
Kalazi yini bazalwane, ngoba ngikhuluma ebantwini abawaziyo umthetho, ukuthi umthetho ulamandla phezu komuntu nxa esaphila kuphela na?
2 Tujile malinga bhakongwe bhalombilwe, bhanatabhwa na shalia mobha gowe ga gumi gwa ambuje bhabho, ikabheje ambuje mundu bhala bhawaga, shalia jikakwaatabha kabhili bhakongwebho.
Njengesibonelo, ngomthetho owesifazane owendileyo ubotshelwe kumkakhe nxa esaphila, kodwa umkakhe angafa, uyakhululwa emthethweni wokuthathana.
3 Bhai monaga ambuje mundu bhali bhabhakoto, nilombwa na bhalume bhana, gwenego utwai, ikabheje bhalumebho bhawaga, bhakaatabhwa na shalia. Nkali bhalombwaga na bhalume bhana pangali utwai.
Kungakho-ke, angendela kwenye indoda umkakhe esaphila uthiwa yisifebe. Kodwa umkakhe angafa, uyakhululwa kulowomthetho angabi yisifebe, lanxa esesendela kwenye indoda.
4 Na malinga mmanganyanji ashaapwanga, nkali mmanganyanji nshikujiwilanga shalia, kwa shiilu sha a Kilishitu nkupinga mmanganje bha bhene bhayushile bhala, nkupinga twaatendele a Nnungu indu ya mmbone.
Ngakho-ke, bazalwane bami, lani lafela emthethweni ngomzimba kaKhristu, ukuze libe ngabomunye, kuye owavuswa kwabafileyo, ukuze sithele izithelo kuNkulunkulu.
5 Pabha, putwaliji nndamo ja kagulila indu ya nshiilu, ilokoli ya yambi guipundile kwa ligongo lya shalia, ilitenda liengo mwiilu yetu nikutupeleshela ku shiwo.
Ngoba sisabuswa yimvelo elesono, izinkanuko zesono ezavuswa ngumthetho zazisebenza emzimbeni yethu, okwenza sathelela ukufa izithelo.
6 Ikabheje nnaino tugopwelwe nshalia, tuiwilile yatutabhaga ila, nkupinga tukombole ndamo ja ambi ja tumishila ya Mbumu, nngabha malinga bhukala putwatumishilaga shalia jijandishwe.
Kodwa khathesi, ngokufela kulokho okwake kwasibopha, sesikhululiwe emthethweni ukuze sikhonze ngendlela entsha yoMoya hatshi ngendlela endala yezimiso ezilotshiweyo.
7 Bhai, tujile bhuli? Shaliaji ni yambi? Ng'oo! Pabha gwangali shalia nganaimanye yambi shili bhuli, nganakumanye kulokolila kaliji shalia jikanalugule, “Nnalokolile yangali ya mmbone.”
Ngakho sizakuthini na? Umthetho uyisono na? Ngempela kawusiso! Ngeqiniso mina ngangingasoze ngazi ukuthi isono siyini kungesiwo umthetho. Ngoba ngangingayikwazi ukuthi ukuhawukela ngempela kuyini aluba umthetho ungatshongo ukuthi, “Ungahawukeli.”
8 Ikabheje yambi guikwete mashili ligongo lya amuli, gushitendile kila ilokoli nkati jangu. Pabha yambi gwangali shalia, iwile.
Kodwa isono, sathatha ithuba elalethwa ngumlayo, saveza kimi inhlobo zonke zenkanuko yokuhawukela. Ngoba ngaphandle komthetho, isono sifile.
9 Numbe nne punaliji najwankoto gwangali shalia, ikabhe jikaishejepe shalia jila, yambi guiyushile na nne gung'wile.
Mina ngake ngaphila ngaphandle komthetho; kodwa kwathi ekufikeni komlayo, isono savuka saphila, mina ngafa.
10 Nne gumweni kuti, shalia jatumbilile kupeleshela gumi jila, jishipeleshela shiwo.
Ngathola ukuthi umlayo lowo owawuhlose ukuletha ukuphila waletha ukufa.
11 Pabha yambi shikakoleje mashili kwa ligongo lya shalia jila, gushindembile nimulaga.
Ngoba isono sathatha ithuba elalethwa ngumlayo, sangikhohlisa, kwathi ngomthetho sangibulala.
12 Bhai shalia ja a Musha ni ja ukonjelo, na amuli jila, ni ja ukonjelo, na ja mmbone, na ja aki.
Ngakho-ke, umthetho ungcwele, lomlayo ungcwele, ulungile njalo muhle.
13 Bhai bhuli! Gene gali ga mmbone gala, nne nigabhone ga shiwo? Ng'oo! Ikabheje nkupinga shambi shibhoneshe ukoto kuti ni yambi, shialaya shiwo nkati jangu, kwa pitila lya mmbone lila, nkupinga kwa amuli jila, yambi ipunde nyata kaje.
Kanti lokho okuhle kube yikufa kimi na? Akunjalo! Kodwa ukuze isono sibonakale siyisono, saletha ukufa kimi ngalokho okwakukuhle, ukuze kuthi ngomlayo isono sibe yisono esipheleleyo.
14 Pabha tumumanyi kuti shalia ja a Musha shiumilo shakwe ni indu ikopoka Mmbumu jwa a Nnungu, ikabheje nne namundu jwa kagulila indu ya nshiilu, njiushwa muutumwa gwa yambi.
Siyakwazi ukuthi umthetho ungokomoya; kodwa mina ngingowenyama, ngathengiswa esonweni njengesigqili.
15 Pabha ngakushimanya shingutenda, shingupinga tenda shila, ngaatenda, ikabhe shingaapinga shila ni shingutenda.
Engikwenzayo angikuzwisisi. Ngoba lokho engifuna ukukwenza angikwenzi, kodwa lokho engikuzondayo ngiyakwenza.
16 Bhai monaga ngunakunda kuti shingutenda nngabha sha mmbone malinga shinatumbilile tenda, penepo ngunakunda kuti, shalia jila ni jammbone.
Ngakho nxa ngisenza lokho engingafuni kukwenza, ngiyavuma ukuthi umthetho ulungile.
17 Bhai, nngabha nne namwene ngutenda shenesho, ikabhe yambi itama nkati jangu.
Njengoba kunje, akuseyimi uqobo okwenzayo, kodwa isono esihlala kimi.
18 Pabha nimumanyi kuti, nkati jangu yani nshiilu shangu, shikaatama shindu sha mmbone. Numbe kupinga kutenda indu ya mmbone ngulipinga, ikabheje kutenda ngunalepela.
Ngiyakwazi ukuthi akulalutho oluhle oluhlala kimi, okutsho imvelo yami elesono. Ngoba ngilesifiso sokwenza okuhle, kodwa angingeke ngikufeze.
19 Pabha shene sha mmbone shingushipinga, ngaatenda, ikabheje shene shangali sha mmbone shingakushipinga ni shingutenda.
Ngoba engikwenzayo akusikho okuhle engifuna ukukwenza; hatshi, okubi engingafuniyo ukukwenza, lokhu ngiqhubeka ngikwenza.
20 Bhai monaga shingakushipinga shila ni shingutenda, nngabha nne namwene ngutenda, ikabhe ni yambi itemi nkati jangu ila.
Nxa ngisenza engingafuni kukwenza, akuseyimi okwenzayo, kodwa yisono esihlala kimi esikwenzayo.
21 Bhai nijimanyi jene kweliji, pungupinga tenda shindu sha mmbone, shipali sha nyata shinguagula tenda.
Ngakho ngithola umthetho lo usebenza ukuthi: Lapho ngifuna ukwenza okuhle, okubi kulami khonapho.
22 Pabha ngunakwiinonyela shalia ja a Nnungu muntima gwangu.
Ngoba ebuntwini bami bangaphakathi ngiyathokoza ngomthetho kaNkulunkulu;
23 Ikabheje nshiilu shangu ngunakujibhona shalia jina jinakomana na shalia ja lunda lwangu, nindenda ntumwa jwa shalia ja yambi, jitemi nshiilu shangu jila.
kodwa ngibona omunye umthetho usebenza ezithweni zami, usilwa lomthetho wengqondo yami ungenza ngibe yisibotshwa somthetho wesono osebenzayo ezithweni zami.
24 Nankulaga nangali malanga nne! Gani shandapule na shiilu sha shiwoshi?
Yeka isinothongwana esengiyiso sona. Ngubani ozangihlenga kulo umzimba wokufa?
25 Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu, pabha ngunatapulwa na a Yeshu Kilishitu bhakulungwa bhetu! Bhai kwa nneyo nne namwene kwa lunda lwangu ngunatumishila shalia ja a Nnungu, ikabhe kwa shiilu shangu ngunatumishila shalia ja yambi.
Kabongwe uNkulunkulu ngoJesu Khristu iNkosi yethu! Ngakho-ke, mina engqondweni yami ngiyisigqili somthetho kaNkulunkulu, kodwa ngokwemvelo yami yesono ngiyisigqili somthetho wesono.
