1 KwabaseKhorinte 15
1 Ngakho, bazalwane, ngilazisa ivangeli engalitshumayeza lona, lani elalemukelayo, njalo elimi kulo,
Ashaalongo ajangunji, nnaino ngunapinga ninkumbushiyanje ga Ngani ja Mmbone jinannungushiyenje jila, na mmanganya gunnjiposhelenje nikwiishimilika najo.
2 njalo elisindiswa ngalo; uba libambelela elizwini levangeli engalitshumayela kini, ngaphandle kokuthi lakholwa ize.
Kwa pitila jenejo nnatapulwanga, ibhaga nngabhikangaga mmitima guninnungushiyenje, na ibhaga kulupalila kwenunji kukabhe kwayoyo.
3 Ngoba ngalinika okokuqala lokho engakwemukelayo lami, ukuthi uKristu wafa ngenxa yezono zethu, njengokwemibhalo;
Nne nashinkumpanganga ntenga gwa mana gunaposhele gula, kuti a Kilishitu bhashinkuwa kwa ligongo lya yambi yetu, malinga shigalugula Majandiko ga Ukonjelo.
4 lokuthi wangcwatshwa; lokuthi wavuswa kwabafileyo ngosuku lwesithathu, njengokwemibhalo;
Na kabhili bhashinkushikwa, na lyubha lya tatu gubhayushiywe, malinga Majandiko ga Ukonjelo shigalugula.
5 lokuthi wabonakala kuKefasi, emva kwalokho kwabalitshumi lambili;
Na kabhili nammalanjilenje kuti, gubhaakoposhele a Kepa, na kungai likumi limo na bhabhili bhala.
6 emva kwalokho wabonakala ngesikhathi sinye kubazalwane abedlula amakhulu amahlanu, ubunengi babo basekhona kuze kube lamuhla, kodwa labanye sebalala;
Gakapiteje genego gubhaakoposhelenje bhandu mmia nng'ano gwanakamo, mpaka pungujandika pano bhananji bhabhakotonji, ikabheje bhananji bhawilenje.
7 emva kwalokho wabonakala kuJakobe, emva kwalokho wabonakala kubaphostoli bonke;
Kungai gubhaakoposhele a Yakobho na ashimitume bhowe.
8 lekucineni kwabo bonke wabonakala lakimi njengozelwe ngesikhathi esingaqondanga.
Bhakaakoposhelanjeje bhowe, gubhangoposhele na nne, naliji malinga mwana abhelekwe mobha gakanabhe malila.
9 Ngoba mina ngingomncinyanyana kubaphostoli, engingafanele ukuthiwa ngumphostoli, ngoba ngazingela ibandla likaNkulunkulu.
Pabha nne najwakumpelo munkumbi gwa ashimitume, na wala ngapinjikwa kushemwa ntume, pabha nashinkulishima likanisha lya a Nnungu.
10 Kodwa ngomusa kaNkulunkulu ngiyikho lokho engiyikho khona, lomusa wakhe okimi kawubanga yize; kodwa ngitshikatshike okwengezelelwe kulabo bonke, kanti kungesimi, kodwa ngumusa kaNkulunkulu olami.
Ikabheje kwa nema ja a Nnungu, njibha ntume malinga shini shino, nema jabho kwangu nne jangabha jayoyo. Nne njitenda liengo kupunda bhowe, nngabha nne, ikabhe nema ja a Nnungu jitenda liengo na nne.
11 Ngakho loba kuyimi, loba kuyibo, ngokunjalo siyatshumayela langokunjalo lakholwa.
Ikabheje nkali nneyo, ibhe bhanganyabho, eu nne, jejino ni ngani jitulunguya na ni jinkukulupalilanga.
12 Kodwa uba uKristu etshunyayelwa ukuthi uvusiwe kwabafileyo, batsho njani abanye phakathi kwenu ukuthi kakukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo?
Pabha, nnaino inalunguywa kuti a Kilishitu bhashiyuka bhakaweje, ashaajenunji bhana bhaakombolanga bhuli kubheleketa kuti bhawilenje bhakayukanga?
13 Kodwa uba kungekho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, kavuswanga laye uKristu;
Bhai, monaga bhawilenje bhakayukanga, nabhalabho a Kilishitu bhangayuka,
14 uba-ke uKristu engavuswanga, ngakho ukutshumayela kwethu kuyize, lokholo lwenu lalo luyize.
na monaga a Kilishitu bhangayuka, bhai kulunguya kwetu kwayoyo na ngulupai jenunji jayoyo.
15 Lathi futhi sificwa singabafakazi bamanga bakaNkulunkulu, ngoba safakaza ngoNkulunkulu ukuthi wamvusa uKristu, angamvusanga, uba-ke abafileyo bengavuswa.
Punda gowego, uwe tunabhoneka tubhakong'ondela bha unami kwa a Nnungu, pabha tushikong'ondela kuti, a Nnungu bhashinkwaayuya a Kilishitu, ibhaga kweli bhawilenje bhakayukanga, bhai bhangaayuya.
16 Ngoba uba abafileyo bengavuswa, kavuswanga laye uKristu;
Pabha ibhaga kweli bhawilenje bhakayukanga, bhai nabhalabho a Kilishitu bhangayuka.
17 njalo uba uKristu engavuswanga, ukholo lwenu luyize; lisesezonweni zenu.
Monaga a Kilishitu bhangayuka, bhai ngulupai jenunji jayoyo, launo nninginji na yambi yenunji.
18 Ngakho lalabo abalele bekuKristu sebabhubha.
Punda genego bhowe bhawilenje bhali bhalundenenje na a Kilishitu, bhaobhilenje.
19 Uba singabathembela kuKristu kule impilo kuphela, singabalosizi kulabo bonke abantu.
Ibhaga twaakulupalile a Kilishitu kwa jene ndamo jinope, bhai uwe tubhandu bha bhonelwa shiya, kupunda bhandu bhowe pa shilambolyo.
20 Kodwa khathesi-ke uKristu uvusiwe kwabafileyo, waba yisithelo sokuqala sabaleleyo.
Ikabheje ni kweli kuti, a Kilishitu bhayushile bhakaweje, ni bha ntai kuyuka kwa bhawilenje.
21 Ngoba lokhu ngomuntu ukufa kweza, langomuntu ukuvuka kwabafileyo kweza.
Pabha, malinga shiwo shishiika pashilambolyo kupitila mundu, nneyo peyo na ga yuka bhawilenje, gashiika kupitila mundu juna.
22 Ngoba njengalokhu kuAdamu bonke bayafa, ngokunjalo futhi kuKristu bonke bazakwenziwa baphile.
Malinga bhandu shibhawanganga nilundana na a Adamu, nneyo peyo bhowe shibhayuywanje nilundana na a Kilishitu.
23 Kodwa ngulowo lalowo ngesakhe isigaba; isithelo sokuqala uKristu, besekusiba ngabakaKristu ekufikeni kwakhe,
Ikabheje kila mundu shaayuywe namuna jakwe, bha ntai kuyuywa ni a Kilishitu, nikwiya bhowe bhalinginji bha a Kilishitu, mobha gushibhaishe.
24 besekusiba yikuphela, lapho esenikela umbuso kuNkulunkulu, uYise, lalapho esenze kwaphela konke ukubusa labo bonke ubukhosi lamandla.
Penepo shiguishe mpelo, a Kilishitu pushibhaakamuye Atati a Nnungu upalume gwabho, bhapeyaga kila upalume na ukulungwa na kila mashili.
25 Ngoba umele yena ukubusa, aze abeke zonke izitha ngaphansi kwenyawo zakhe.
Pabha a Kilishitu bhanapinjikwa bhatagwale, mpaka a Nnungu pushibhaabhikanje ashaamagongo ajabho pa makongono gabho.
26 Isitha sokucina esizachithwa yikufa.
Mmagongo nnjabho shaapeywe kumpelo, shaabhe shiwo.
27 Ngoba izinto zonke uzehlisele ngaphansi kwenyawo zakhe. Kodwa nxa esithi izinto zonke zehlisiwe, kusobala ukuthi ungaphandle kwazo yena ozehlisileyo izinto zonke ngaphansi kwakhe.
Pabha Majandiko ganalugula, “A Nnungu bhashikwiibhika indu yowe pamakongono gabho.” Ikabheje Majandiko pugaalugula kuti, “Indu yowe shibhailibhatile nkwiitagwala,” penepo a Nnungu bhakwa muindumo, pabha bhenebho ni bhakwiibhika indu yowe pai jabho a Kilishitu.
28 Nxa izinto zonke sezehlisiwe ngaphansi kwakhe, khona layo iNdodana ngokwayo izazehlisa ngaphansi kwalowo owehlisela zonke izinto ngaphansi kwayo, ukuze uNkulunkulu abe yikho konke kukho konke.
Ikabheje indu yowe ibhikwaga pai ja ukulungwa gwa a Kilishitu, penepo Mwana nnyene shaabhikwe pai ja ukulungwa gwa a Nnungu, nkupinga a Nnungu bhatagwale indu yowe.
29 Pho, bazakwenzani ababhabhathizelwa abafileyo uba abafileyo bengavuki isibili? Kungani babhabhathizelwa abafileyo na?
Bhai, ibhaga kuyuka kwakwa, bhuli, bhandunji bhaabhatishwanga kwa ligongo lya bhawilenje bhala, shibhatendanje nndi? Ibhaga bhawilenje bhakayukanga, kwa nndi kubhatishwa kwa ligongo lya bhawilenje?
30 Kungani lathi sisengozini ihola ngehola?
Uwe kwa nndi tunakwiibhika mwaajogoya mobha gowe?
31 Ngiyafa usuku ngosuku, ngiyaqinisa ngokuzincoma ngani engilakho kuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu.
Ashaalongo ajangu, nne mobhaga nguti, ngunakwiibhika nshiwo! Shingwiipunila kwenu mmanganyanji, ni lundana kwenunji na a Kilishitu Yeshu Bhakulungwa bhetu, inandenda nunguye gegano.
32 Uba ngokwabantu ngalwa lezilo eEfesu, nzuzo bani kimi, uba abafileyo bengavuki? Asidle sinathe, ngoba kusasa siyafa.
Ibhaga tumbilila kwangu kukaliji kwa shigundupe, bhai, kukomana kwangu na makoko ga munng'itu, yani bhandunji bha ku Epesho bhala, kumbwaile nndi? Monaga bhawilenje bhakayukanga, bhai, “Tulye na papila, pabha malabhi shituwe.”
33 Lingakhohliswa; ukwejwayelana lababi kuyonakalisa izimilo ezinhle.
Nnatembwanje, mikungulu jangali ja mmbone jinakumpuganya mundu.
34 Vusani ingqondo ngokulunga njalo lingoni; ngoba abanye balokungamazi uNkulunkulu; ngikhulumela ukuthi libe lenhloni.
Nkolanje lunda kabhili malinga shinkupinjikwanga, nnatendanje yambi. Pabha bhananji bhakakwaamanyanga a Nnungu ukoto. Ngunabheleketa gegano, nkolanje oni!
35 Kodwa omunye uzakuthi: Abafileyo bavuswa njani? Njalo beza lomzimba onjani?
Ikabheje mundu shaabhuye, “Bhaayukanga bhuli bhawilenje? Shibhayukanje na shiilu shashi?”
36 Siphukuphuku, lokho okuhlanyelayo wena, kakwenziwa kuphile ngaphandle kokuthi kufe;
Mmwe libhelu! Shinkupanda shikamela shikatandubhe kuwa.
37 lalokho okuhlanyelayo, kawuhlanyeli umzimba ozakuba khona, kodwa uhlamvu oluze, mhlawumbe, olwebele kumbe olokunye nje;
Inkupanda mmbeju, pana mmbeju ja mpunga, eu jina na nngabha litepo lyowe.
38 kodwa uNkulunkulu uyinika umzimba njengokuthanda kwakhe, lakuleyo laleyo yenhlanyelo owayo umzimba.
A Nnungu bhanakuipa litepo, malinga shibhaapinga bhayene, kila mmbeju na litepo lyakwe.
39 Inyama yonke kayisinyamanye; kodwa enye yinyama yabantu, lenye yinyama yenyamazana, lenye eyenhlanzi, lenye eyezinyoni.
Iilu ikalingana. Bhandunji bhashikolanga iilu yabhonji, na bhannyama yabhonji, na ijuni nneyo peyo iilu yabhonji, na yamaki nneyo peyo.
40 Ikhona lemizimba yezulwini, lemizimba yemhlabeni; kodwa inkazimulo yezulu ingenye, leyemhlabeni ingenye.
Ipali iilu ya kunnungu, na iilu ya pa shilambolyo, kukonja kwa iilu ya kunnungu ni kuna, na kukonja kwa iilu ya pa shilambolyo kuna.
41 Enye yinkazimulo yelanga, lenye yinkazimulo yenyanga, lenye yinkazimulo yezinkanyezi; ngoba inkanyezi yehlukile kwenye inkanyezi enkazimulweni.
Kupali kukonja kwa lyubha, na kukonja kwa mwei, na kukonja kwa ndondwa, nkali ndondwa inalekanila kwa konja.
42 Kunjalo-ke ukuvuka kwabafileyo. Kuhlanyelwa ekuboleni, kuyavuswa kungekho ekuboleni;
Nneyo peyo, pushiibhe ga yuka bhawilenje, malinga mmbeju, shiilu shinashikwa pai niangabhanika, ikabheje shinayuywa nibha shiilu sha ngaangabhanika.
43 kuhlanyelwa ekudelweni, kuvuswe enkazimulweni; kuhlanyelwa ebuthakathakeni, kuvuswe emandleni;
Shiilu sha gundu pushishikwa shinanyegala, pushiyuywa shili na ukonjelo, na pushishikwa shangali mashili, ikabheje pushiyuywa shili na mashili.
44 kuhlanyelwa umzimba wemvelo, kuvuswe umzimba womoya. Kukhona umzimba wemvelo, njalo kukhona umzimba womoya.
Pushishikwa ni shiilu sha shibhelekwe, ikabheje pushiyuywa ni shiilu sha mbumu. Shipali shiilu sha shibhelekwe, na nneila peila shipali shiilu sha mbumu.
45 Langokunjalo kulotshiwe ukuthi: Umuntu wokuqala uAdamu waba ngumphefumulo ophilayo; uAdamu wokucina ngumoya ophilisayo.
Pabha Majandiko ganataya, “Mundu jwa ntai a Adamu, apengenywe nipegwa gumi”, ikabheje Adamu jwa kumpelo, ni Mbumu akwaapanganga bhandu gumi.
46 Kodwa okokuqala kakusikho okomoya, kodwa okwemvelo, besekusiza okomoya.
Ikabheje shilongolela nngabha shiilu sha Mbumu, ikabhe shiilu sha shibhelekwe, kungai nikwiya shiilu sha mbumu shila.
47 Umuntu wokuqala wavela emhlabeni, ungowomhlabathi; umuntu wesibili uyiNkosi evela ezulwini.
Adamu jwa ntai papengenywe kwa lilongo, paaliji jwa pa litaka, Adamu jwa bhili kwakopweshe kunnungu.
48 Njengoba enjalo owomhlabathi, banjalo labo abomhlabathi; lanjengoba enjalo owezulwini, banjalo labo abezulwini;
Bhandunji bha pa shilambolyo, bhanalandana na mundu apengenywe na lilongo jula, na bhalinginji bha kunnungu bhala, bhanalandana na akopweshe kunnungu jula.
49 futhi njengoba sibelesimo sowomhlabathi, lathi sizakuba lesimo sowezulwini.
Malinga shitulendene naka jwene apengenywe na lilongo jula, nneyo peyo shitulandane naka jwene akopweshe kunnungu jula.
50 Kodwa ngitsho lokhu, bazalwane, ukuthi inyama legazi kungelidle ilifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu; lokubola kakulidli ilifa lokungaboli.
Bhai, ashaalongo ajangunji, nne nguti nnei, iilu yetu ipengenywe kwa nnyama na minyai ikaulishi Upalume gwa a Nnungu, wala shiangabhanika, shikalishi shangaangabhanika.
51 Khangelani, ngilitshela imfihlo: Kasiyikulala sonke, kodwa sizaphendulwa sonke,
Mpilikananje, ngunakummalanjilanga shinjubhi, nngabha kuti tubhowe tupingawa, ikabhe tubhowe shitutindiganywe,
52 ngesikhatshana, ngokucwayiza kwelihlo, ekukhaleni kophondo lokucina; ngoba uphondo luzakhala, labafileyo bazavuswa bengelakubola, lathi sizaphendulwa.
shangupe, malanga ga mmbila ja kumpelo, mbuti kukapila kwa meyo. Pabha mbalapala shijione, bhawilenje shibhayukanje na bhanaangabhanyikanje kabhili, na uwe shitutindiganywe.
53 Ngoba lokhu okubolayo kumele ukwembatha ukungaboli, lalokho okufayo kwembathe ukungafi.
Pabha inapinjikwa kila shiangabhanyika shinaangabhanyishe, yani shiilu shawa, shinawe.
54 Nxa-ke lokho okubolayo sekwembethe ukungaboli, lalokho okufayo sekwembethe ukungafi, kuzakwenzeka ngalesosikhathi ilizwi elilotshiweyo lokuthi: Ukufa kuginyiwe ekunqobeni.
Bhai, shiilu sha angabhanyika shino shibhaga sha ngaangabhanyika, yani shiilu shawa shila, shibhaga nngabha shawa, penepo shigatimilile Majandiko ga Ukonjelo ga kuti, “Shiwo shilepele na shipeshiywe.”
“Shiwo, mashili gako gali kwei?” “Kupoteka kwako kuli kwei?” (Hadēs g86)
56 Lodonsi lokufa yisono; lamandla esono ngumlayo.
Shiwo shinakola mashili ga bhulaga, kwa ligongo lya yambi, na yambi inakola mashili kwa ligongo lya Shalia ja a Musha.
57 Kodwa kabongwe uNkulunkulu osinika ukunqoba ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.
Ikabheje tunatenda eja kwa a Nnungu bhakututenda tukombole, kupitila ku Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
58 Ngakho, bazalwane bami abathandekayo, manini, linganyikinyeki, lengezelelwe emsebenzini weNkosi kokuphela, lazi ukuthi ukutshikatshika kwenu kakusilo ize eNkosini.
Bhai, ashaalongo ajangunji nkupingwanga, nnjimangananje nninginji mwiishimilikenje ukoto. Mpundanje kamula liengo lya Bhakulungwa, nnikumumanyanga kuti, liengo lyenunji ku Bhakulungwa nngabha lya yoyo.
