1 Kodwa phakathi kwabantu kwakulabaphrofethi bamanga futhi, njengoba kuzakuba labafundisi bamanga phakathi kwenu. Ngasese bazangenisa inkolo yamanga echithayo, baze bamphike loThixo iNkosi yobukhosi eyabathengayo, bazilethele ukubhujiswa ngokuphangisa.
Nekubeco, bashinshimi bandemishibili balikubapo pakati pa Baislayeli, kayi cimocimo, beshikwiyisha bandemishibili nibakaboneke pakati penu. Nibakalete biyisho byabwepeshi mubushinshi bishikononga, nibakamukane Mwami wabo walabalubula, neco nibakalitele lufu mwabwangu bwangu.
2 Abanengi bazalandela izindlela zabo ezilihlazo benze lendlela yeqiniso idumazeke.
Bangi nibakakonkele nshila shakutalikanisha. Cebo ca bintu mbyebalenshinga, nabambi nibakatatike kunyansha Nshila ya ncinencine.
3 Ngobugovu babo abafundisi laba bazakwenza inzuzo ngani ngezinganekwane zokuzibumbela. Ukulahlwa kwabo kubengamile, lokubhujiswa kwabo akuzange kukhohlakale.
Kupitila mubulyabi bwabo, aba beshikwiyisha bandemishibili nibakacaninepo pindi mutulabi ntweshi bakamwambilenga. Nomba cisubulo cabo calabambwa kaindi, kayi konongeka kwabo kulabapembelenga.
4 Ngoba nxa uNkulunkulu engaziyekelanga izingilosi ekwenzeni kwazo isono, kodwa wazisa egehena, wazifaka emigodini emnyama ukuba zigcinelwe ukwahlulelwa. (Tartaroō g5020)
Pakwinga Lesa liya kubalekelelapo basa bangelo balepisha, nsombi walabawala mubufuni bwamulilo, umo mobasungwa ncetani mumushinshe, mobalapembelelenga busuba bwalombolosho. (Tartaroō g5020)
5 Nxa engayekelanga umhlaba wasendulo lapho aletha khona uzamcolo ebantwini bawo ababengamesabi uNkulunkulu, kodwa wamvikela uNowa, umtshumayeli wokulunga, labanye abayisikhombisa.
Kayi Lesa liya kubalekelela bantu bakaindi, nsombi walapulushako Nowa mukambaushi wa bululami pamo nebanendi basanu nebabili, pacindi ncalaleta mfula pacishi conse, iyo yalashina bantu bonse batasakamana Lesa.
6 Nxa watshabalalisa amadolobho aseSodoma leGomora ngokuwatshisa aba ngumlotha, wawenza aba yisibonelo salokho okuzakwenzakala kwabangamesabiyo uNkulunkulu.
Kayi Lesa walapa cisubulo minshi ibili ya Sodomu ne Gomola njalatenta ne mulilo, kwambeti ibe citondesho kubantu beti bakabule kusakamana Lesa.
7 Njalo nxa wahlenga uLothi, umuntu olungileyo, owayekhathazekile ngokuphila okungcolileyo kwabantu ababengelamthetho
Nsombi walapulushamo Loti muntu walulama uyo walikupenga ne mikalilo yaipa yabufule njebalikwinsa yakutasakamana Lesa.
8 (ngoba lowomuntu olungileyo, wayehlala phakathi kwabo insuku zonke, ehlutshwa emoyeni yizenzo zabo ezimbi ayezibona layezizwa).
Muntu walulama usa nambi walikwikala pakati pabo, walikunyumfwa nekubona micito yabo yaipa, kayi busuba ne busuba moyo wakendi walulama walikumupensha.
9 Nxa lokhu kunjalo, uThixo uyakwazi ukuhlenga abantu abamesabayo ekulingweni kanye lokugcinela abangalunganga usuku lokwahlulela, eqhubeka ngokujeziswa kwabo.
Neco bantu bakendi Lesa basunkwanga neye ukute kwishiba mwakubapulushila. Nabo baipa wababambila busuba bwakubapa cisubulo pamusuba lwalombolosho.
10 Lokhu kuliqiniso ikakhulu kulabo abalandela izinkanuko ezonakeleyo zenyama njalo beseyisa umthetho. Ngesibindi lokuzikhukhumeza, abantu laba kabakwesabi ukuhlambaza izidalwa zasezulwini;
Makamaka nakape cisubulo bantu balakonkelenga lunkumbwa lwasafwana lwamibili yabo, nekunyansha bwendeleshi bwa Lesa. Beshikwiyisha bandemishibili kayi beshikulitunta, batasakamana muntu, bakute kutukana nekutapa bulemu bilengwa byalemekwa bya Kwilu.
11 ikanti lezingilosi, lanxa ziqinile njalo zilamandla amakhulu, kazizethesi macala ngokuhlambaza izidalwa ezinjalo phambi kukaThixo.
Nomba kamuyeyani bangelo, bakute ngofu shinene shakumubili ne shakumushimu shapita beshikwiyisha bandemishibili. Nsombi nkabakute kusebensesha maswi akunyansha beshikwiyisha bandemishibili aba pamenso pa Lesa.
12 Kodwa abantu laba bahlambaza ngezindaba abangaziqedisisiyo. Banjengezinyamazana ezinganakaniyo, izidalwa ezibuswa yimvelo, ezazalelwa ukubanjwa lokubulawa kuphela, labo njalo njengezilo bazabhubha.
Nomba aba bantu balyeti banyama babula mano balasemenwa kwikatwa ne bantu nekushiniwa. Cabo nikusampula bintu mbyabateshi. Ee Lesa nakabashine mbuli bantu ncebakute kushina banyama bamucisuwa.
13 Bazaphindiselwa ngokubi ngenxa yokubi abakwenzileyo. Umcabango wabo ngenjabulo yikuminza emini libalele. Bayizixhwali lezoni, bezitika enjabulweni yabo besidla lani edilini.
Pakwinga bakute kukondwa ne nshila shabo bwepeshi, bakute kuyandowa kulya ne kunwa munshila yakutalilemeka lumwi kalubala njo! Balyeti mibata ne bulema bukute kwipisha cinso pacindi ncemukute kulya nabo.
14 Ngamehlo agcwele ubufebe kabayekeli ukwenza isono; baxhwalisa abangaqinanga; bazingcitshi zobugovu, inzalo eqalekisiweyo!
Bakute kulangilishowa pabatukashi bapombo nekubanyengelela bakute myoyo yabula kushimpa cena. Myoyo yabo ilyowa nta pabuboni. Bantu bashinganwa!
15 Bayitshiyile indlela eqondileyo, baduka belandela indlela kaBhalamu indodana kaBheyori owayethanda inzuzo yobubi.
Balashiya nshila yalulama, bataika mbuli ncalataika Balamu mwanendi Beoli walikuyanda kupewa cilambo pakwinsa cabula kwelela.
16 Kodwa wakhuzwa ngezenzo zakhe ezimbi ngubabhemi, inyamazana eyisimungulu, eyakhuluma ngelizwi lomuntu yanqanda ukuphambana komphrofethi.
Mbongolo itamba, yalambeti muntu kukanisha buluya bwakendi.
17 Abantu laba bayimithombo engelamanzi lenkungu eqhutshwa yisiphepho. Ubumnyama obukhulu bugcinelwe bona.
Beshikwyisha bandemishibili balyeti mikalo yabula menshi, kayi balyeti makumbi alanyakiwanga nne mpepo, Lesa wababambila musena mumushinshe washipa mbi. (questioned)
18 Ngoba bakhuluma amazwi okuzikhukhumeza ayize, njalo ngokulangatha izinkanuko zemizimba yabantu elesono, bahuga abantu abasanda kuphunyuka kulabo abahlala ekoneni.
Nabo nebeshikulituntowa ne maswi abuluya, kayi nelunkumbwa lwabo lwasesemya bakute kwikata nkola bantu balashiyi byaipa pakati pabo.
19 Babathembisa inkululeko, bona beyizigqili zobuxhwali, ngoba umuntu uyisigqili salokho okumbusayo.
Bakute kubalaya sha kusunguluka kakuli nabo bacili basha ku micito yabola, muntu ukute kuba musha kuli uyo lamukomo.
20 Nxa bebalekele ukonakala komhlaba ngokwazi iNkosi yethu loMsindisi uJesu Khristu baphinde bahitsheleke kukho behlulwe, isiphetho sabo sibi njalo siyesabeka kulasekuqaliseni kwabo.
Pakwinga bantu balashiyi byaipa byacishici pakwishiba Mwami Mupulshi wetu Yesu Klistu, nomba panyuma pakendi besa bekatwa nekukomwa ne byaipa bimobimo, pamapwililisho bakute kwipa kupita ncebalikuba pakutanguna.
21 Kwakuzakuba ngcono kubo ukungayazi indlela yokulunga, kulokuthi sebeyazi bafulathele imilayo engcwele ababeyiphiwe.
Caina shinga nebalabula kwishiba nshila yabbululami, kupita kwileka kabali balenshibi mulawo waswepa Lesa ngwalabapa.
22 Izaga ziqinisile ngabo ukuthi: “Inja iyawabuyelela amahlanzo ayo,” njalo ukuthi, “Ingulube egezisiweyo iyabuyela iyezibhixa edakeni.”
Pakwinseco, balashininkishingeti niwakubinga mwambi ulambangeti, “Kabwa labwelele malushi ngwalaluka” Kayi naumbi wakwambeti, “Nkumba ilasamba cena, ilabwelele kuya kwalangana mumankatya.”
