1 KwabaseKhorinte 14
1 Landelani indlela yothando lizifune ngokutshiseka izipho zikamoya ikakhulu isipho sokuphrofitha.
Kamucinkani manungo mukuba ne lusuno, kayi mubike moyo pa bipo bya Mushimu Uswepa makamaka pa cipo ca kushinshima.
2 Ngoba okhuluma ngendimi kakhulumi ebantwini kodwa kuNkulunkulu. Impela kakho obezwayo, bakhuluma imfihlakalo ngoMoya.
Abo beshikwamba mu milaka itanyumfwiki nkabakute kwamba kubantu, nsombi balo bakute kwamba ne Lesa pakwinga paliya muntu ukute kunyumfwa nambi kwinshiba ncobalambanga. Ngofu ya Mushimu Uswepa eikute kuyubulula byasolekwa.
3 Kodwa umuntu wonke ophrofithayo ukhuluma ebantwini ukuba abaqinise, abakhuthaze njalo abaduduze.
Nsombi neye lambanga mulumbe wa Lesa ukute kwambila bantu eti bantu bayuminishishiwe ne kubakondwelesha.
4 Lowo okhuluma ngolimi oluthile uyazakha kodwa lowo ophrofithayo wakha ibandla.
Abo bakute kwamba mu milaka yabula kwishibikwa bakute kulinyamfwa bene, nomba balo bakute kwamba mulumbe wa Lesa bakute kunyamfwa mubungano wa bantu ba Lesa.
5 Ngifisa ukuba lonke likhulume ngendimi kodwa ikakhulu ukuba liphrofithe. Ophrofithayo mkhulu kulalowo okhuluma ngendimi, ngaphandle kokuba echasisa, ukuze ibandla lakheke.
Ingankondwa kwambeti mwense ngamuba necipo cakwamba milaka yabula kwishibikwa, nomba ncondayandishishinga nicakwambeti mwense mube necipo cakwamba mulumbe wa Lesa. Pakwinga muntu lambanga mulumbe wa Lesa wapita muntu lambanga mumilaka yabula kwishibikwa pabula muntu naumbi lasansululunga ncalambanga kwambeti mubungano wa bantu ba Lesa unyamfwiwe.
6 Ngakho-ke, bazalwane, nxa ngifika kini ngikhulume ngendimi, ngilosizo bani kini, ngaphandle kokuba ngililethele ukwambulwa okuthile loba ukwazi loba isiphrofethi kumbe imfundiso, na?
Nomba lino mobanse bame, nilunyamfo cini ndwenga mucana na ame ndesa uko ntatika kwamba mumilaka njomuteshi? Paliya lunyamfo ndomwela kucanapo sobwe, nsombi nandamuletele bintu ibyo Lesa mbyalayubululu nambi bishi kupa lwinshibo, Lesa mbyalampeti ndibyambe nambi ciyisho cimbi.
7 Lezizinto ezingaphiliyo ezenza umsindo njengomhubhe loba ichacho, umuntu angalazi njani iculo elikhaliswayo ngaphandle kokuba kulomahluko empawini zomculo?
Nicimo cimo bintu byabula buyumi mbuli kankobele nambi kalumbu muntu nkalalilishinga na ubula kupusanya ndilishilo, inga lanyumfunga ngawishibeconi lwimbo lulembilwanga?
8 Njalo nxa icilongo lisitsho umbiko ongacacanga, ngubani ozalungela impi na?
Na lalilishinga tolompita ubula kulilisha maswi eshikunyumfwika cena, niyani wela kulibambila kulwana nkondo?
9 Kunjalo-ke lakini. Nxa lingakhulumi amazwi azwakalayo ngolimi lwenu, umuntu uzakwazi njani elikutshoyo? Lizakuba likhuluma lomoya nje.
Ni cimo cimo ne njamwe, ni muntu cini wela kunyumfwa ncomulambanga na nkamulambanga maswi alanyumfwikinga cena, maswi enu nakengangowa mulukupwe.
10 Akuthandabuzwa ukuthi kulenhlobonhlobo zezindimi emhlabeni kodwa zonke zilomutsho.
Mwakubula kutonshanya sobwe, pali milaka ingi pacishi capanshi, nikukabeco mulaka uliwonse ukute ncolapandululunga.
11 Nxa ngingakuzwa okutshiwo ngomunye, ngingowezizweni kulowo okhulumayo, laye ngowezizweni kimi.
Na kantawishi mulaka ngwalambanga uyo lawambanga, kwakame nimwensu kuli njame, nenjame ndemwensu kulyendiye lambanga.
12 Kunjalo-ke lakini. Njengoba litshisekela izipho zikamoya, zamani ukwenza okuhle kakhulu ngezipho ezakha ibandla.
Nomba pakwinga mulayandishishinga bipo bya Mushimu Uswepa elekeshani kubisebensesha, makamaka bipo bishi kuyuminisha mubungano.
13 Ngakho-ke, umuntu okhuluma ngendimi kumele akhulekele ukuba achasise lokho akutshoyo.
Ecebo cakendi muntu lambanga mu mulaka wabula kwishibikwa apaile kwambeti, apewe cipo ca kusansulula mulaka ngwalambanga.
14 Ngoba nxa ngikhuleka ngendimi, umoya wami uyakhuleka kodwa ingqondo yami kayilazithelo.
Na ndapailinga mu mulaka wabula kwishibikwa, Ee mushimu wakame ulapailinga, nomba mano akame paliya ncalenshinga.
15 Pho ngenzeni na? Ngizakhuleka ngomoya wami njalo ngizakhuleka langengqondo yami; ngizahlabela ngomoya wami njalo ngizahlabela langengqondo yami.
Na ncecibeleco, inga ninyinseconi? Lino nimpaile ne kwimbila ne mano akame.
16 Nxa libonga uNkulunkulu ngomoya wenu, angatsho kanjani ozithola esephakathi kwalabo abangazwisisiyo ukuthi, “Ameni” ekubongeni kwenu, yena engakwazi elikutshoyo na?
Na kamulumba Lesa ne mushimu wenu wonka, inga muntu ngomuli nendi utacishi cili mu mushimu wenu ngawambeconi eti, “Amen” Ku mupailo wenu wa kulumbaisha Lesa kakuli nkacishi ncomwambanga.
17 Lingabe libonga kuhle sibili kodwa omunye umuntu kabusisekanga.
Nambi mupailo wenu kuli Lesa kauli waina nomba bantu nabambi nkacela kubanyamfwa sobwe.
18 Ngiyambonga uNkulunkulu ngoba mina ngikhuluma ngendimi ukudlula lina lonke.
Ndalumbunga Lesa pa kumpa kwinshiba kwamba milaka ingi kupita amwe.
19 Kodwa ebandleni ngithanda ukukhuluma amazwi amahlanu azwakalayo ngifundisa abanye kulamazwi azinkulungwane ezilitshumi ngendimi.
Neco, ningasalapo kwamba maswi asanu alanyumfwikinga cena kwambeti njiyishe bantu mu mubungano wa bantu ba Lesa kupita kwamba maswi angi mumulaka wabula kwishibikwa, ici ngaciba cena.
20 Bazalwane, yekelani ukucabanga njengabantwana. Mayelana lobubi, wobani zingane kodwa ekucabangeni kwenu wobani ngabadala.
Mobanse bame, kamutayeyangeti batwanike. Ee pa bintu byaipa kamubani eti batwanike batacishi caipa, nomba mukuyeya kamubani bamakulene.
21 Emthethweni kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Ngabantu bezindimi ezingaziwayo langezindebe zabezizweni ngizakhuluma lalababantu, kodwa loba kunjalo kabayikungilalela, kutsho iNkosi.”
Mu Mabala a Lesa mwalembwa maswi alambangeti “Ninkambe ku mushobo uwu kupitila mu bantu beshikwamba milaka yabula kwishibikwa, Kayi ne pa milomo ya bantu bensu. Nikukabeco, nteti bakanyumfwile ncalambanga Lesa wa Ngofu shonse.”
22 Ngakho-ke, izindimi ziyisibonakaliso, hatshi kwabakholwayo, kodwa kwabangakholwayo; kodwa ukuphrofitha ngokwabakholwayo hatshi abangakholwayo.
Neco kwamba mu milaka yabula kwishibikwa bakute kukushoma ni bantu babula lushomo, ntebo bakute lushomo sobwe. Kukambauka Maswi a Lesa bakute kukushoma ni bantu bakute lushomo, ntebo babula lushomo sobwe.
23 Ngakho nxa ibandla lonke libuthene umuntu wonke akhulume ngendimi, kuthi abanye abangezwayo loba abangakholwayo bangene, kambe kabazukuthi ingqondo zenu ziphambene na?
Na bantu bonse babungana pamo mu mubungano batatika kwamba mu milaka yabula kwishibikwa, nomba bantu bensu kayi nambi bantu abo babula lushomo, sena nkabela kwambeti mulakonyo?
24 Kodwa nxa ongakholwayo loba omunye ongaqedisisiyo engena lapho abantu bonke bephrofitha, uzavunyiswa yibo bonke ukuthi uyisoni njalo ahlulelwe yibo bonke,
Nomba na mwense kamushinshima muntu wabula lushomo nambi utacishi wingilamo nakanyumfwishishe maswi kayi nakamwikate nekwinshiba bwipishi bwakendi, kayi nakamubeteke maswi opelawo ngalanyumfu.
25 lezimfihlo zenhliziyo yakhe zizavezwa obala. Ngakho uzakhothamela phansi akhonze uNkulunkulu esithi, “UNkulunkulu impela uphakathi kwenu!”
Mulumbe wa Lesa nukalete patuba byonse byasolekwa mu moyo wakendi, nakasuntame ne kulumbaisha Lesa ne kusuminisheti Lesa mpwali pakati penu.
26 Pho sizakuthini, bazalwane? Lapho libuthana ndawonye, umuntu wonke ulehubo loba ilizwi lokufundisa, lokwambula, lezindimi, loba ukuchasisa. Konke lokhu kumele kwenziwe ukuze ibandla lakheke.
Mobanse bame, ncendapandululunga nici, mwabungananga pamo pa kupaila, muntu naumbi inga kakute lwimbo, naumbi ciyisho cakwambeti ayishe, naumbi inga kakute kantu nkalamuyubulwili Lesa. Naumbi inga kakute maswi akwamba mu mulaka wabula kwishibikwa, naumbi inga kacikonsha kupandulula maswi awo alambwanga.
27 Nxa omunye ekhuluma ngendimi, ababili loba kungabangadluli abathathu, kumele kukhulume oyedwa ngasikhathi sinye, njalo omunye kumele achasise.
Kapataba bantu beshikwamba milaka yabula kwishibikwa mwabungananga pamo bapitilila pababili nambi batatu pacindi cimo sobwe. Kamupananga cindi cakwamba kayi pabe muntu lapandululunga cilambwanga.
28 Nxa kungelamchasisi, okhulumayo kumele athule ebandleni, azikhulumele yedwa, kuye lakuNkulunkulu.
Na paliya lapandululunga, uyo lambanga amwene tonto ambenga mwine mu moyo wakendi Lesa nanyumfwenga.
29 Kumele kukhulume abaphrofethi ababili loba abathathu, kuthi abanye bakuhlolisise ngokunanzelela okutshiwoyo.
Kakuba bantu babili nambi batatu abo Lesa mbwalapa mulumbe wakwamba nabambi babetekenga bintu mbyobalambanga.
30 Njalo nxa ukwambulelwa kufika komunye ohlezi phansi, okhulume kuqala kumele athule.
Nomba na uyo wekala mu mubungano latambulu mulumbe kufuma kuli Lesa uyo wambanga acileke.
31 Ngoba lonke lingaphrofitha lintshintshana ukuze umuntu wonke afundiswe njalo akhuthazwe.
Mwense ninga mwamba mulumbe wa Lesa na kamwambapo umo ne umo, kwambeti mwense mwiye kayi muyuminishiwe.
32 Imimoya yabaphrofethi iphathwa ngabaphrofethi.
Kayi bipo bya kwamba mulumbe wa Lesa byelela kwendeleshewa ne bashinshimi.
33 Ngoba uNkulunkulu kasuye Nkulunkulu wengxabangxoza kodwa ungowokuthula. Njengasemabandleni wonke abantu beNkosi.
Pakwinga Lesa nte Lesa wa minyungwe sobwe, nsombi niwa lumuno. Kwelana mbuli cilenshikinga mu mibungano ya bantu ba Lesa yonse ya bantu baswepa,
34 Abesifazane kumele bathule emabandleni. Kabavunyelwa ukukhuluma kodwa kumele bazithobe njengokutsho komthetho.
batukashi babenga bamwena mumibungano yabantu ba Lesa, pakwinga nkabelela kupewa cipuna ca ncito mu mibungano ya bantu ba Lesa, neco babenga balibombelesha cabulemu, mbuli milawo ya Mose ncoilambanga.
35 Nxa befuna ukubuza ngolutho oluthile, kumele babuze omkabo emakhaya ngoba kulihlazo ukuthi owesifazane akhulume ebandleni.
Na kabayanda kunyumfwishisha cena, caina kwambeti benga kwipusha balume babo kung'anda, pakwinga cikute kupa nsoni mutukashi kwambapo mumubungano.
36 Konje ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lavela kini na? Kumbe lafika kini kuphela?
Sena Maswi a Lesa alafumina kuli njamwe, nambi alashika kulinjamwe mwenka?
37 Nxa umuntu ecabanga ukuthi ungumphrofethi loba ukuthi ulesipho sikaMoya, kavume ukuthi lokhu engililobela khona kungumlayo weNkosi.
Na pali muntu layeyengeti ni mushinshimi, nambi kwambeti ukute cipo ca Mushimu Uswepa, asumine bintu ibi mbyondamulembele, pakwinga endibyo Mulawo wa Mwami.
38 Nxa lokhu engakunaki, laye akayikunakwa.
Nomba na pali muntu utasuni kushako mano, Lesa nendi nakamusule.
39 Ngakho-ke, bazalwane bami, tshisekelani ukuphrofitha njalo lingenqabeli ukukhuluma ngendimi.
Neco mobanse bame, kamulangaulani mulumbe ulafumunga kuli Lesa mwabuya, kamutakanishanga abo bashoma kwambeti kabatambanga mu milaka yabula kwinshibika.
40 Kodwa izinto zonke kumele zenziwe ngendlela efaneleyo lehlelwe kuhle.
Cilayandikinga nicakwambeti bintu binshikenga munshila yelela kayi yalumbuluka.
