< KwabaseRoma 12 >
1 Ngakho-ke, ngiyalincenga bazalwane, ngenxa yomusa kaNkulunkulu, ukuba linikele imizimba yenu njengemihlatshelo ephilayo, engcwele lemthokozisayo uNkulunkulu, okuyikukhonza kwenu ngomoya.
Henu nikabhasihi, bhalongobhangu, kwa k'esa kya muene K'yara, mujhibhosiajhi mibhele ghya muenga ijhelayi dhabihu jhajhikeka, takatifu, jhajhijhedekelibhwa kwa K'yara. Ejhe ndo ibada jha jhomu jhajhimaanisya.
2 Lingavumi futhi ukulingisa umhlaba lo, kodwa liguqulwe ingqondo zenu zibe zintsha. Lapho-ke lizakwenelisa ukuhlola lokwamukela lokho okuyintando kaNkulunkulu, intando yakhe elungileyo, ethokozisayo lepheleleyo. (aiōn )
Bhwala musijhikhesi namna jha dunia ejhe, bali msanusibhwayi kwa kubhomba kabhele nia sya muenga. Muketayi naha mkabhayi kumanya mapenzi gha K'yara ghaghajhele manofu, ghakumfurahisya ni kamilifu. (aiōn )
3 Ngoba ngomusa engiwuphiweyo ngithi kini lonke: Lingacabangi ngokuzazisa kakhulu ukwedlula okufaneleyo, kodwa lizicabangele ngokuqonda, ngokuhambelana lesilinganiso sokukholwa uNkulunkulu aliphe khona.
Kwa ndabha nijobha, kwa ndabha jha neema jhanipelibhu, kwamba khila munu jha ajhele mugati mwa muenga ilondeka lepi kufikiri nesu juu jha muene kuliko kyajhilondeka kufikiri. Bali, jhikandonda afiki najhi kwa hekima kama ambavyo Kyara abhapelili khila mmonga kiasi fulani kya imani.
4 Njengalokhu omunye lomunye wethu elomzimba owodwa olezitho ezinengi, njalo izitho lezi zonke kazenzi msebenzi munye,
Kwa kujha tujhe ni fiungo fimehele mu mb'ele, umonga lakini sio fiungo fyoha fijhe ni mbombo jhimonga.
5 Ngokunjalo kuKhristu thina abanengi sibumba umzimba owodwa, njalo ilunga linye ngalinye ngelawamanye wonke.
Fefuefu tete jhatujhele twebhamehele tujhele mb'el'e umonga kwa Kristu, ni fiungo khila khimonga kijhe ni njinu.
6 Silezipho ezehlukeneyo, kusiya ngomusa esawuphiwayo. Nxa isipho somuntu siyikuphrofitha, kasisebenzise ngokulingana lokukholwa kwakhe.
Tujhe ni karama syasijhele patalipatali kwa kadiri jha neema jha mupelibhu. Ikajhiajhi karama jha munu ndo unabii, najhibhombekajhi kadiri jha imani jha muene.
7 Nxa siyikukhonza, kakhonze: nxa siyikufundisa, kafundise;
Ikajhiajhi karama jha munu ndo huruma, na jhitumikayi. Ikajhiajhi jhongi ajhe ni karama jha kufundisya, basi, afundisiajhi.
8 nxa singesokukhuthaza, kakhuthaze; nxa siyikupha, kasiphe ngothando; nxa siyibukhokheli, kabuse ngokukhuthala; nxa siyikubonakalisa umusa, kakwenze ngokuthokoza.
Ikajhiajhi ni karama jha munu ndo faraja, basi, afarijiayi. Ikajhiayi karama jha munu ndo kuhomesya, abhombayi naha kwa ukarimu. Ikajhiajhi karama jha munu ndo kulongosya, na jhibhombekayi kwa bhuangalifu. Ikajhiajhi karama jha munu ndo kwa kulasya k'esa, na abhombayi kwa kuhobhoka.
9 Uthando kumele lube qotho. Zondani okubi libambelele kokulungileyo.
Bhuganu bhusijhi ni unafiki: Mubhudadilayi bhuovu; mkamulayi ghaghajhele manofu.
10 Zimiseleni omunye komunye ngothando lobuzalwane. Hloniphanani okudlula ukuzihlonipha kwenu.
Kuhusu luganu lwa bhalongo, mugananayi jhomu kwa jhomu. Kuhusu litengu, muheshimianayi jhomu kwa jhomu.
11 Lingaphelelwa yikutshiseka, kodwa gcinani ukutshiseka kwenu komoya, likhonza iNkosi.
Kuhusu bidii, musijhi mutepetele. Kuhusu roho, jhijhelayi ni shaukhu. Kuhusu Bwana, mun'tumikilayi.
12 Thokozani ekwethembeni, libekezele ekuhlukuluzweni, libambelele ekukhulekeni.
Muhobhokayi mu bhujasiri bhwa mujhe nabhu kuhusu magono ghaghihida. Mujhelayi ni subira mu matatisu gha muenga. Mudumuajhi mu kus'oka.
13 Bapheni abantu bakaNkulunkulu abaswelayo. Zejwayezeni ukuphana.
Mushirikiajhi mu mahitaji gha bhaumini. Mulondayi njela simehele sysa kulasya bhukarimu.
14 Babusiseni labo abalihluphayo; busisani lingaqalekisi.
Mubhatakilayi baraka bhoha bhabhakabhatesya muenga; mubhabarikiajhi na musibhalaani.
15 Thokozani lalabo abathokozayo, lilile lalabo abalilayo.
Muhobhokayi pamonga ni bhabhihobhoka mulelayi pamonga ni bhabhilela.
16 Hlalisanani ngokuzwana. Lingazigqaji, kodwa lihlanganyele labantukazana. Lingazikhukhumezi.
Mujhiajhi ni nia jhimonga jhomu kwa jhomu. Musifikiri kwa kwifuna, lakini mubhajhedekelayi bhanu bha hali jha pasi. Musijhi ni hekima juu jha mabhwasu gha jhomu mwebhene.
17 Lingaphindiseli muntu okubi ngokubi. Nanzelelani ukwenza okulungileyo phambi kwabantu bonke.
Musindepi munu jhejhioha jhola bhuovu kwa bhuovu. Mubhombayi mambo manofu pamihu pa bhanu bhoha.
18 Nxa kusenzakala, kusiya mayelana lokubona kwenu, hlalani ngokuthula labantu bonke.
Kama jhibhwesekana, kaam kyajhibhekibhu kwa muenga, mujhelayi ni amani ni bhanu bhoha.
19 Lingaphindiseli, bangane bami abathandekayo, kodwa litshiyele ulaka lukaNkulunkulu ithuba, ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Ukuphindisela ngokwami; ngizabuyisela,” kutsho iNkosi.
Bhapenzi, musikil'epes'eli kisasi mwebhene, lakini mujhijhepukilayi ghadhabu jha K'yara. Kwandabha jhilembibhu, “'kisasi kya nene; Nene nibetakulepa,' ijobha Bwana.”
20 Esikhundleni salokho: “Nxa isitha sakho silambile, siphe ukudla; nxa somile, sinikeni okunathwayo. Ngokwenza lokhu, lokhela amalahle avuthayo ekhanda laso.”
“Lakini ikajhiajhi adui ghwa jhobhi ajhe ni njala, ndesiajhi. Akajhelayi ni kiu, nywesiajhi. Kwandabha ukabhombayi naha, wibetakumpalila makaa gha muoto panani pa mutu ghwa muene.”
21 Linganqotshwa ngokubi, kodwa nqobani ububi ngobuhle.
Usishindwi ni bhubhibhi, bali bhutobhesiajhi bhubhibhi kwa bhwema.
