< 2 Kwabasekhorinte 3 >
1 Kanti sesiqala futhi ukuzethula na? Kumbe njengabanye abantu kumele sibe lezincwadi zokusikhulumela kini kumbe ezivela kini na?
Tinotangazve kuzviratidza here? Kana tinotsvaka here, sevamwe, tsamba dzekuzviratidza kwamuri, kana dzekuratidza kunobva kwamuri?
2 Lina ngokwenu liyizincwadi zethu ezibhalwe ezinhliziyweni zethu, ezaziwayo lezifundwa ngumuntu wonke.
Imwi muri tsamba yedu, yakanyorwa mumoyo yedu, inozikanwa nekuverengwa nevanhu vese;
3 Liyabonakalisa ukuba liyincwadi evela kuKhristu, isithelo sokutshumayela kwethu, engabhalwanga nge-inki kodwa ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, hatshi ezibhebhedwini zamatshe kodwa ezibhebhedwini zezinhliziyo zabantu.
muchiratidzwa kuti muri tsamba yaKristu inoshandiswa nesu, yakanyorwa kwete neingi, asi neMweya waMwari anorarama; kwete pamahwendefa emabwe, asi pamahwendefa enyama emoyo.
4 Ithemba elinjengaleli ngelethu ngoKhristu phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Nechivimbo chakadai tinacho naKristu kuna Mwari;
5 Kungayisikho ukuthi siyenelisa ukwahlulela konke esikwenzayo kodwa ukwenelisa kwethu kuvela kuNkulunkulu.
kwete kuti tinokwanisa isu pachedu kufunga chimwe chinhu sechinobva kwatiri, asi kukwanisa kwedu kunobva kuna Mwari;
6 Usiphe amandla okuba zinceku zesivumelwano esitsha, kungayisiso sokulotshiweyo kodwa esikaMoya; ngoba okulotshiweyo kuyabulala kodwa uMoya uletha ukuphila.
iye wakatigonesa kuva vashumiri vesungano itsva, kwete yechakanyorwa asi yeMweya; nokuti chakanyorwa chinouraya, asi Mweya unoraramisa.
7 Nxa imfundiso eyaletha ukufa eyayibhalwe ngamabala elitsheni, yeza lenkazimulo, ukuze abako-Israyeli bangabukhangeli kokuphela ubuso bukaMosi ngenxa yenkazimulo yabo, lanxa nje yayisifiphala,
Asi kana ushumiri hwerufu, pazvinyorwa zvakavezwa pamabwe hwakasvikira mukubwinya, zvekuti vana vaIsraeri vakakoniwa kutarisisa chiso chaMozisi nekuda kwekubwinya kwechiso chake, kwaipedzwa,
8 kambe imfundiso kaMoya kayiyikuba lenkazimulo enkulu na?
ko shumiro yeMweya haingazovi nekubwinya kukuru here?
9 Nxa imfundiso elahla abantu ilenkazimulo, pho inkulu kangakanani inkazimulo yemfundiso eletha ukulunga.
Nokuti kana shumiro yekupiwa mhosva iri kubwinya, shumiro yekururama ichakunda zvikuru sei mukubwinya.
10 Ngoba okwakulenkazimulo khathesi akuselayo inkazimulo kuqathaniswa lenkazimulo enkulu.
Nokuti kunyange icho chakabwinyiswa hachina kubwinyiswa pachinhu ichi nekuda kwekubwinya uku kwakanyanyisa.
11 Njalo nxa okwakufiphala kwaletha inkazimulo, pho inkulu kangakanani inkazimulo yalokho okungulaphakade!
Nokuti kana icho chinopedzwa chaiva nekubwinya, zvikuru sei icho chinogara, pakubwinya.
12 Ngakho, njengoba silethemba elinje, silesibindi.
Naizvozvo tine tariro yakadai, tinoshandisa ushingi ukuru mukutaura;
13 Thina kasinjengoMosi owamboza ubuso bakhe ukuze abako-Israyeli bangabukhangeli lapho inkazimulo yayisifiphala.
uye kwete saMozisi waiisa chifukidziro pachiso chake, kuti vana vaIsraeri varege kutarisisa kuguma kwezvinopedzwa.
14 Kodwa ingqondo zabo zathundubezwa, ngoba kuze kube lamhla lesosembeso sisala sikhona lapho isivumelwano esidala sibalwa. Kasisuswanga ngoba sisuswa ngoKhristu kuphela.
Asi fungwa dzavo dzakaomeswa, nokuti kusvikira zuva rino chifukidziro ichochi chichiripo chisina kubviswa pakuverengwa kwetesitamende yekare, chakapedzwa muna Kristu.
15 Langalolosuku nxa kubalwa umlayo kaMosi, isembeso sembesa inhliziyo zabo.
Asi kusvikira zuva rino, kana kuchiverengwa Mozisi, chifukidziro chirere pamoyo wavo.
16 Kodwa nxa umuntu ephendukela eNkosini, “isembeso siyasuswa.”
Chero rinhi kana achidzokera kuna Ishe, chifukidziro chinobviswa.
17 INkosi inguMoya njalo lapho okuloMoya weNkosi khona, kulokukhululeka.
Zvino Ishe ndiye Mweya; uye pane Mweya waIshe pane rusununguko.
18 Njalo thina, sonke esibonakalisa inkazimulo yeNkosi ngobuso obungembeswanga, siguqulelwa ekufananeni layo ngenkazimulo ekhula kokuphela, evela eNkosini, enguMoya.
Asi isu tese, nechiso chakashama tichiona sepachionioni kubwinya kwaIshe, tinoshandurirwa kumufananidzo iwoyo kubva pakubwinya kuenda pakubwinya, sezvinobva kuMweya waIshe.
