1 KwabaseKhorinte 4
1 Umuntu kanakane ngathi ngokunje, njengezisebenzi zikaKristu labaphathi bezimfihlo zikaNkulunkulu.
Eikhoibu nakhoina Tengban Mapugi athuppa achumbasing adugi asin arangi thoudang sinnakhraba Christtagi manai ama oina khanbiyu.
2 Futhi-ke, kuyadingeka ebaphathini, ukuthi umuntu aficwe ethembekile.
Asigumba manaising asigi mathou taba amadi makhoigi mapusinggi maphamda thajaba yaba oiba asini.
3 Kodwa kimi kuyinto encinyane kakhulu ukuthi ngithonisiswe yini, kumbe ngokwahlulela kwabantu; kodwa lami kangizithonisisi.
Houjik, nakhoina eibu wayenbada nattraga taibangpangi wayel amagi matung-inna eibu wayenbada eina madu maru oiba oina khande; aduga ei isanaphaoba isabu wayenjade.
4 Ngoba kanginanzeleli lutho kimi, kanti kangilungisiswanga ngalokho; kodwa ongahlulelayo yiNkosi.
Eina aranba toukhiba amata ei khangde, adumakpu masimakna ei chummi haibadi natte. Eibu chang yengbiba adudi Ibungo mahakni.
5 Ngakho lingahluleli lutho isikhathi singakafiki, ize ifike iNkosi, ezaveza futhi ekukhanyeni izinto ezifihlakeleyo emnyameni, njalo iveze obala amacebo ezinhliziyo; njalo khona ngulowo lalowo ezakuba lokubongwa okuvela kuNkulunkulu.
Maram aduna achaba matam adu laktriphaoba kanadasu wayen-ganu, Ibungona lenglaktriphaoba ngaibiyu. Mahakna amambada lotlibasing adu mangalda puthokkani aduga misinggi thamoida leiriba aronba thourang adu phongdokkani. Matam aduda mi pumnamakna Tengban Mapudagi makhoigi matik chaba thagatchaba adu phangjagani.
6 Njalo lezizinto, bazalwane, ngiziqondanise lami loApolosi ngenxa yenu, ukuze lifunde kithi ukuthi lingakhumbuli phezu kokulotshiweyo, ukuze lingakhukhunyezwa omunye ngomunye limelane lomunye.
Aduga Ichil-inaosa, “Iriba adugi wangmada hendokphade” haiba paorou asigi wahanthok adu nakhoina eikhoidagi tamnanaba, nakhoigidamak eina masi pumnamaksing asi isamakta amadi Apollos-da pandam oina sijinnajei. Masi nakhoi kananasu mi amagidak chaothoktanaba aduga atoppa amadana hanthana yengdanabani.
7 Ngoba ngubani okwenza ukuthi wehluke? Njalo kuyini olakho ongakwemukelanga? Njalo uba lawe wemukele, uzincomelani ngokungathi kawemukelanga?
Maramdi kannana nahakpu atoppasingdagi henna chaohanbage? Nahakna leijariba pumnamak adu Tengban Mapuna pibiba nattabra? Adu oirabadi, nahakna leijariba adu khudol nattabagumna nahakna karamna chaothokadouribano?
8 Selisuthi, selinothile, libusile ngaphandle kwethu; yebo-ke kungathi ngabe liyabusa, ukuze lathi sibuse kanye lani.
Houjik nakhoina pamjaba pumnamak nakhoida leire! Houjik nakhoi inak khulle! Nakhoina eikhoi yaodana ningthougum palle! Hoi, eikhoina nakhoiga loinana ningthou oiminnanaba, nakhoina tasengna ningthou oiba adu eina kayada pamjaba!
9 Ngoba ngithi uNkulunkulu usimisile thina abaphostoli bokucina, sibe njengabamiselwe ukufa; ngoba senziwe umbukiso emhlabeni, lakuzo ingilosi, lebantwini.
Maramdi, taibang malem apumba, swargadutsing amadi misinggi mityengpham oina, miyam mangda sinanabagi maral piraba misinggumna Tengban Mapuna pakhonchatpa eikhoida khwaidagi mamei oiba mapham adu pibire haina eina ningjei.
10 Thina siyizithutha ngenxa kaKristu, kodwa lina lihlakaniphile kuKristu; thina sibuthakathaka, kodwa lina lilamandla; lina liyahlonitshwa, kodwa thina siyadelelwa.
Maramdi Christtagi maramgidamak eikhoi apangbasingni; adubu nakhoidi Christtada asingba oire! Eikhoibu hanthana yengbi; adubu nakhoibu ikai khumnabi!
11 Kuze kube lihola lakhathesi silambile, somile, sihambaze, siyatshaywa ngenqindi, siyimihambuma,
Pungja asidaphaoba eikhoina lamli, khourangli aduga eikhoina phijet phigai amadi phimal setli; phubiri; yum leijadaba oiri.
12 siyatshikatshika sisebenza ngezethu izandla; sithi sithukwa sibusise; sithi sizingelwa sibekezele;
Eikhoina eikhoigi ikhutmakna thabak kanna sui. Eikhoibu sirap tourabada, eikhoina yaipha thoujal pibi, eikhoibu ot-neirabada eikhoina khaang-i.
13 sithi sinyeywa sincenge; senziwa njengamanyala omhlaba, imfucuza yezinto zonke, kuze kube khathesi.
Eikhoibu ikaiba pirabada eikhoina nungshina paokhumbi. Mikup asi phaoba eikhoi taibangpanbagi phatha haodigumna oiri, phattaduna amadi kannadraduna hunjeklaba potsakkum oiri!
14 Kangilibhaleli lezizinto ukuthi ngilithele inhloni, kodwa ngileluleka njengabantwana bami abathandekayo.
Eina masi nakhoibu ikaiba pinanaba i-ba natte, adubu isamakki nungsijaraba ichasinggumna paotak oina haibani.
15 Ngoba lanxa lilabeluleki abayizinkulungwane ezilitshumi kuKristu, kodwa kalilaboyihlo abanengi; ngoba mina ngalizala kuKristu Jesu ngevangeli.
Maramdi nakhoigi christian-gi punsida nakhoibu takpi-tambiba lising tara leiraba phaobada nakhoigi ipadi amatani. Maramdi nakhoigi Christta Jisuga amata oina punsinjabagi punsida nakhoida Aphaba Pao purakpagi mapanna eihak nakhoigi ipa oire.
16 Ngakho ngiyalincenga: Banini ngabalingisi bami.
Maram aduna eigi itou louba oibiyu haina eina nakhoibu thougatchari.
17 Ngalokho ngithume kini uTimothi, ongumntanami othandekayo lothembekileyo eNkosini, ozalikhumbuza ngenhambo zami ezikuKristu, njengoba ngifundisa endaweni zonke kulo lonke ibandla.
Maram asigidamak eina eigi nungsijaraba ichanupa, Ibungoda thajaba yaba oiriba Timothybu nakhoigi naphamda thakhibani. Aduga eina mapham khudingda leiba singlupsingda tambibagum Christta Jisugi tung-inba ama oina eina chatchaba ichat itou pumnamak mahakna nakhoida ningsinhanbigani.
18 Kodwa abanye bazikhukhumezile ngokungathi kangiyikuza kini.
Nakhoi kharana eina nakhoigi nanakta amuk laklaroidabagumna chaothokli.
19 Kanti ngizakuza kini masinyane, uba iNkosi ivuma, njalo ngizakwazi, hatshi ilizwi lalabo abazikhukhumezayo, kodwa amandla.
Adumakpu Ibungogi aningba oirabadi eina nakhoigi nanakta athuba matamda laktuna chaothokpasing aduna kari haibage haibadu khak nattana makhoigi panggal adusu eina khanggani.
20 Ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu kawungelizwi kodwa ngamandla.
Maramdi Tengban Mapugi leibak adudi waheigi natte adubu panggalgini.
21 Lifunani? Ngize kini ngenduku yini, kumbe ngothando lomoya ochumileyo?
Nakhoina kari pambage? Eina cheiga loinana lakpara? Nattraga nungsiba amadi pukning tappaga loinana lakpara?
