1 KwabaseKhorinte 11
1 Banini ngabalandeli bami, njengoba lami okaKristu.
Mundubhilishe anye, lwakutyo anye enimulubhilisha Kristo.
2 Ngiyalibabaza-ke, bazalwane, ukuthi liyangikhumbula ezintweni zonke, lokuthi libambelele ezimisweni njengoba ngalinika.
Olyanu enibhakuya kulwa kutyo omunyichuka ku magambo gona. Enibhakuya kulwa kutyo mugwatile a ijadi lwakutyo nailetele kwimwe.
3 Kodwa ngithanda ukuthi lazi, ukuthi inhloko yawo wonke amadoda nguKristu; lenhloko yowesifazana yindoda; lenhloko kaKristu nguNkulunkulu.
Mbe enenda mumenye kutiya, Kristo ni mutwe gwa bhuli mulume, ko omulume ni mutwe gwo omugasi, na kutyo jili Nyamuanga ni mutwe gwa Kristo.
4 Yonke indoda ekhulekayo loba eprofethayo, ikhanda limboziwe, ilithela ihlazo ikhanda layo.
Bhuli mulume unu kasabhwa amo unu kasosha obhulagi aswikiliye omutwe kaswasha omutwe gwaye.
5 Kodwa wonke owesifazana okhuleka kumbe aprofethe ikhanda lingambombozwanga, ulithela ihlazo elakhe ikhanda; ngoba lokhu kufanana-ke lophuciweyo.
Nawe omugasi unu kasabhwa amo nasosha obhulagi omutwe gwaye guli abhwelu kaswasha omutwe gwaye. Okubha kasusa kuti amwegelwe.
6 Ngoba uba owesifazana engagubuzeli, futhi kagele; kodwa uba kukubi kowesifazana ukugela kumbe ukuphucwa, kagutshuzelwe.
Akasanga omugasi ataswikiliye omutwe gwaye, amwege jimfwili Jaye jibhe mfuyi. Jikabha jili nswalo omugasi okutema amo okumwega jimfwili jaye, mbe aswikilile omutwe gwaye.
7 Ngoba indoda kayifanele ukumbomboza ikhanda, ngoba ingumfanekiso lodumo lukaNkulunkulu; kodwa owesifazana uludumo lwendoda.
Kubhaki jiteile omulume okuswikilila omutwe gwaye, kulwokubha omwene ni chijejekanyo na likusho lya Nyamuanga. Nawe omugasi nikusho lyo omulume.
8 Ngoba indoda kayivelanga kowesifazana, kodwa owesifazana endodeni;
Kulwokubha omulume atasokene no omugasi. Tali omugasi asokene no omulume.
9 ngoba futhi indoda kayidalelwanga owesifazana, kodwa owesifazana indoda;
Nolwo jitalyati omulume amogelwe okujuna omugasi. Tali omugasi amogelwe ajune omulume.
10 ngenxa yalokhu owesifazana kufanele abe lamandla phezu kwekhanda ngenxa yezingilosi.
Inu niyo insonga omugasi jimwiile okubha no olunyamo lwo obhuinga ingulu yo omutwe gwaye, kulwa injuno yo bhuinga
11 Kodwa indoda kayingaphandle kowesifazana, lowesifazana kangaphandle kwendoda, eNkosini.
Kulwejo, Kulata bhugenyi, omugasi atakubha enyele akabha atalio omulume, nolwo omulume ona nikwo kutyo jili.
12 Ngoba njengoba owesifazana evela endodeni, ngokunjalo lendoda ivela ngowesifazana, kodwa konke kuvela kuNkulunkulu.
Okubha lwakutyo omugasi asokele kumulume, nyabhuliko omulume ona asokele kumugasi. Ne ebhinu bhyona ebhisokaga ku Nyamuanga.
13 Ziboneleni lina; kufanele yini ukuthi owesifazana akhuleke kuNkulunkulu engambombozanga?
Mbe mulamule emwe abhene, Nibhabhushe, nijakisi omugasi okusabhwa Nyamuanga omutwe gwaye guli abhwelu?
14 Imvelo uqobo lwayo kayilifundisi yini, ukuthi uba indoda ilenwele ezinde, kulihlazo kuyo?
Mbe nolwo obhusimuka ona bhutabheigisha lwakutyo omulume akabha na jimfwili ndela ejimuswasha?
15 Kodwa uba owesifazana elenwele ezinde, kuludumo kuye. Ngoba inwele uziphiwe ukuthi zibe yisimbombozo.
Ko obhusimuka bhutakubheigisha ati omugasi akabha na jimfwili ndela nikusho kumwene? Kulwokubha ayabhwile jimfwili ndela lwe echifwalo chaye.
16 Kodwa uba umuntu ebonakala elenkani, thina kasilawo umkhuba onjalo, ngitsho lamabandla kaNkulunkulu.
Nawe omunu wonawona akabha nenda okubhambala ingulu yo omusango gunu, eswe chitali na bhutulo bhundi, nolwo amakanisa ga Nyamuanga ona gatakutula.
17 Kodwa ngokulaya lokhu kangilibabazi, ngoba libuthana ngokungekuhle kodwa ngokubi.
Kubhilagilo bhinu anu, nitakubhakuya. Kulwokubha mukekofyanya, mutakubhona mugaso tali omubhulwa chonachona.
18 Okokuqala ngoba nxa libuthana ebandleni, ngizwa ukuthi kukhona ukwehlukana phakathi kwenu; njalo nganxanye ngiyakukholwa.
Kulwokubha enungwa ati, oungwa mwekofyanya mwikanisa, umubha umutasikene, na enikilishanya nejo kutoto.
19 Ngoba kufanele ukuba lobubhazuka futhi phakathi kwenu, ukuze labo abaqinisileyo babonakale phakathi kwenu.
Kunsonga nibhusi bhusi bhubheo obhuyombo agati yemwe, koleleki bhanu bhekilisibhwe bhamenyekane kwimwe.
20 Ngakho nxa libuthana ndawonye, lokhu kakusikho ukudla isidlo seNkosi;
Kwolokubha mukekofyanya, echo omulya bhitali bhilyo bhyo Omukama.
21 ngoba ngulowo lalowo uthatha kuqala esakhe isidlo ekudleni, lomunye ulambile, lomunye udakiwe.
Ungwa mwalya, bhuli munu kalya ebhaye wenyele nibhelabhila abhandi bhachali kulya, nolwo oundi ali no momweko, oundi atamilile.
22 Kanti kalilazo izindlu zokudlela lezokunathela? Kumbe lidelela ibandla likaNkulunkulu, liyangise yini abangelakho? Ngingathini kini? Ngingalibabaza kulokhu yini? Kangilibabazi.
Mtali na nyumba ejo kulilamo nokunywelamo? Mbe omuligaya likanisa lya Nyamuanga nokubheta emitima bhanu bhatali na chinu? Emwe nibhabhwileki? Nibhakuye? Nitabhakuya kulwo omusango gunu!
23 Ngoba mina ngakwemukela eNkosini, lokho lami engalinika khona, ukuthi iNkosi uJesu ngobusuku eyanikelwa ngabo yathatha isinkwa,
Kulwokubha nalamiye okusoka Kumukama echo nabhayana emwe, lwakutyo Omukama Yesu, ingeta iliya bhejile bhamulila iniku, agegele omukate.
24 isibongile yasihlephuna, yathi: Thathani, lidle, lokhu kungumzimba wami owahletshunelwa lina; lokhu kwenzeni ukungikhumbula.
Ejile amala okusima, nagubheganya naika ati, “Gunu nigwo omubhili gwani, guliwo kulwa injuno yemwe. Mukolega kutiyo mukenda okunyichuka.”
25 Ngokunjalo lenkezo, sebedlile, yathi: Inkezo le iyisivumelwano esitsha egazini lami; lokhu kwenzeni, loba nini liyinatha, ukungikhumbula.
Munjila eyo bhejile bhamala okulya nagega echikombe, naika ati, “Echikombe chinu ni mulago omuyaya mu manyinga gani. Mukolega kutyo kwiya ngendo Nyafu mukasanga ni munywa, koleleki munyichuke.”
26 Ngoba loba nini nxa lisidla lesisinkwa, linatha linkezo, litshumayela ukufa kweNkosi ize ifike.
Mukasanga nimulya no okunywela Echikombe chinu, omulasha olufu lwo Omukama okukingila ao alijila
27 Ngakho loba ngubani odla lesisinkwa kumbe anathe inkezo yeNkosi ngokungafanelanga, uzakuba lecala lomzimba legazi leNkosi.
Kulwejo, bhuli munu unu kalya omukate nokunywela Echikombe echo Omukama atambukile amalagililo, alibha eyumbakiye echikayo cho omubhili na amanyinga ago Omukama.
28 Kodwa umuntu kumele azihlole, ngokunjalo-ke adle okwesinkwa anathe okwenkezo;
Omunu nambe okwikeselesha omwene okwamba, niwo alye no okunywela echikombe.
29 ngoba odlayo anathe ngokungafanelanga, uzidlela azinathele isigwebo, engawehlukanisi umzimba weNkosi.
Kulwokubha unu kalya no okunywa atagajue omubhili, kalya no okunywa indamu yaye omwene.
30 Ngenxa yalokhu banengi kini ababuthakathaka labagulayo, lenengi lilele.
Inu niyo injuno abhanu bhafu agati yemwe ni bhalwaye na nibhalenga, na abhandi agati yemwe bhafuye.
31 Kodwa uba besizihlolile thina, besingayikwahlulelwa;
Nawe chikekengela abhene chitaligwa mundamu.
32 kodwa nxa sisahlulelwa, sikhuzwa yiNkosi, ukuze singalahlwa kanye lomhlaba.
Tali chikalamulwa no Omukama, echigonyibhwa, koleleki chasiga okulamulwa amwi ne echalo.
33 Ngakho, bazalwane bami, nxa libuthana ukuthi lidle, kalibomelelana.
Kulwejo, bhamula na bhayala bhasu, mukekofyanya okulya, mulindililane.
34 Njalo uba omunye elambile, kabokudla ekhaya; ukuze lingabuthaneli ukugwetshwa. Okuseleyo-ke, ngizakulungisa mhla ngifikayo.
Akasanga omunu ali nainjala, alye ika owaye, koleleki mukekofyanya amwi mutakola kutyo kwa indamu. Na ingulu ya amagambo agandi ganu mwandikile, nilibha naja nilibhasombolela.
