11 liqiniswa ngamandla wonke mayelana lamandla akhe amangalisayo ukuze libe lokubekezela kanye lesineke esikhulu, kuthi njalo ngokuthokoza
A Nnungu bhampanganje mashili kwa kombola kwabho kwa ukonjelo, nkupinga mwiipilililanje kwa kila shindu na kwiiluma na angalala.
12 limbonge ngentokozo uYise owalenza lafanela ukuhlanganyela elifeni labangcwele bakhe embusweni wokukhanya.
Mwaatendelanje eja Atati a Nnungu, bhantendilenje nkombolanje poshela miadi ja indu ibhaabhishilenje bhandunji bha ukonjelo, muupalume gwabho gwa shilangaya.
13 Ngoba wasihlenga embusweni wobumnyama wasiletha embusweni weNdodana yakhe ayithandayo,
Na bhenebho bhashinkututapula mmashili ga lubhindu, nikutushoya na kutujinjiya muupalume uka mwana gwabho jubhakumpinga.
14 okukuyo ukuhlengwa kwethu lokuthethelelwa kwezono.
Kwa bhenebho tunagombolwa, nileshelelwa yambi yetu.
15 Indodana ingumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ongabonakaliyo, izibulo kukho konke okwadalwayo.
Na a Kilishitu ni shilanda shibhoneka, sha a Nnungu bhakaabhoneka, nantando jwa indu yowe ipengenywe.
16 Ngoba izinto zonke zadalwa ngayo: izinto ezisezulwini lezisemhlabeni, ezibonakalayo lezingabonakaliyo loba kuyizihlalo zobukhosi kumbe amandla loba ababusi kumbe abaphathi; izinto zonke zadalwa ngayo zidalelwa yona.
Pabha indu yowe ishipanganywa kupitila Bhenebho, kila shindu sha kunnungu na sha pa shilambolyo, indu ibhoneka na ikaabhoneka, ibhaga ashinanndenga, na majini na ashimaoka bhowe. Yowe puipengenywe na Bhenebho na kwa ligongo lyabho.
17 Yona iphambi kwezinto zonke njalo kuyo izinto zonke zibambene.
Bhenebho bhaapali indu yowe ikanabhe pagwa, yowe inatama ukoto kwa lundana na bhenebho.
18 Iyinhloko yomzimba okulibandla; iyikuqala lezibulo elivela kwabafileyo ukuze yona ibe ngeyokuqala ezintweni zonke.
Bhenebho ni akalongolele bha likanisha, malinga ntwe shiukuti longolela shiilu, numbe bhenebho ni shiumilo sha gumi gwa shene shiilusho. Bhenebho ni nantando bha gumi, bhantai kuyuka bhakaweje, nkupinga bhabhe bha ntai kwa indu yowe.
19 Ngoba uNkulunkulu wathokoza ukuba ukuphelela kwakhe kube kuyo
Pabha a Nnungu bhashipinga kutimilila kwabho kowe kutame mubhanabhabho a Yeshu.
20 lokuthi ngayo abuyisane lezinto zonke, loba kuyizinto ezisemhlabeni kumbe izinto ezisezulwini ngokwenza ukuthula ngegazi layo elachithwa esiphambanweni.
Na kwa bhana bhabho, a Nnungu bhayene bhashilundanywa na indu yowe, kwa shiwo sha a Yeshu munshalabha, a Nnungu gubhatendile ulele na indu yowe, ibhe ya pa shilambolyo eu ya kunnungu.
21 Lina lake laba ngabehlukane loNkulunkulu, liyizitha ezingqondweni zenu ngenxa yokuziphatha kwenu okubi.
Mmanganyanji bhukala mwashinkutalikangana na a Nnungu nibha magongo, kwa ligongo lya ng'aniyo yenunji na itendi yenunji ya nyata.
22 Kodwa khathesi uselibuyisile ngomzimba kaKhristu uqobo lwawo ngokufa ukuze alethule lingcwele ebusweni bakhe, lingelasici njalo limsulwa.
Ikabheje nnaino, kwa shiwo shika mwana gwabho atemi pa shilambolyo pano, a Nnungu bhashikunnundanyanga, nkupinga bhammikanje pamo na bhenebho, nninginji bha ukonjelo na bhammbonenji na wala sha gambwa,
23 Nxa liqhubeka ngokukholwa kwenu ligxile njalo liqinile, lingasuki ethembeni eliliphiwa ngevangeli. Leli yilo ivangeli elalizwayo eselitshunyayelwe kuzozonke izidalwa ngaphansi kwezulu, mina Phawuli esengibe yinceku yalo.
ikabheje nnapinjikwanga kwiishimilika ukoto nngulupai, wala nnakundanje kutendebhuywa nikunshoyanga nngulupai impatilenje pumwapilikenenje Ngani ja Mmbone. Nne a Pauli ni ntumishi jwa jene Ngani ja Mmbone, jilungwiywe pa shilambolyojo.
24 Khathesi ngiyathokoza ngokulihluphekela kwami njalo ngiyagcwalisa emzimbeni okulokhu kusasilela mayelana lezinhlupheko zikaKhristu ngenxa yomzimba wakhe olibandla.
Nnaino ngunaangalila kupotekwa kwangu kwa ligongo lyenunji, pabha ngunagumbashiya pashiilu shangu indu itubhile mmboteko ya a Kilishitu kwa ligongo lya likanisha, lili shiilu shabho.
25 Sengaba yinceku yalo ngomsebenzi uNkulunkulu anginika wona ukuba ngililethele ilizwi likaNkulunkulu liphelele,
Nne njibha ntumishi jwa likanisha malinga shibhapanjle a Nnungu kumba, kwa pwaida jenunji. Nunguye lilobhe lyabho gwangali leka shindu,
26 ebeliyimfihlakalo ebifihlakele okweminyakanyaka kanye lezizukulwane ezedluleyo kodwa khathesi isibekwe obala kwabangcwele beNkosi. (aiōn g165)
indu ya nng'iyo ibhaishiywenje bhandu bhowe kuumila bhukala, ikabheje nnaino bhashikwaibhulilanga bhandunji bhabho bha ukonjelo. (aiōn g165)
27 UNkulunkulu wathanda ukubazisa phakathi kwabeZizweni inotho emangalisayo yemfihlakalo le, enguKhristu phakathi kwenu, ithemba lenkazimulo.
A Nnungu bhashinkupinga kwaibhulilanga bhanganyabho ga ukonjelo nkulu gwa gwene nng'iyogo, kubhandunji bhalinginji nngabha Bhayaudi. Nng'iyo gwene ni a Kilishitu, bhali mmitima jenunji. Na lyenelyo linalangula kuti shinkundikanywanje muukonjelo gwa a Nnungu.
28 Sitshumayela yena, seluleke njalo sifundise abantu bonke ngenhlakanipho yonke ukuze bonke sibalethe kuKhristu bephelele.
Kwa lyene ligongolyo, tunakwalunguya a Kilishitu kubhandu bhowe, kwaaleyanga na kwaajiganyanga bhandu bhowe kwa lunda lowe, nkupinga tunnjiyenajo kila mundu kwa a Nnungu ali aishimilishe nkulundana na a Kilishitu.
29 Ngisebenza nzima ukuba lokhu kufezeke, ngilwisa ngawo wonke amandla uKhristu asebenza ngawo phakathi kwami.
Kwa ligongo lyolyo, nne ngunalajilila tenda liengo, kwa mashili gungupegwa na a Kilishitu gakamula liengo muntima gwangu.
