1 UPhetro 3
1 Ngokunjalo bafazi, zehliseleni ngaphansi kwawenu amadoda, ukuze kuthi, uba-ke bekhona abangalaleli ilizwi, bazuzwe ngaphandle kwelizwi ngokuziphatha kwabafazi,
Saizvozvo vakadzi, muzviise pasi pevarume venyu pachenyu; kuti kanawo vamwe vasingateereri kushoko, vawanikwe nemafambiro evakadzi pasina shoko,
2 enanzelela ukuhamba kwenu okuhlambulukileyo ekwesabeni.
vachiona mafambiro enyu akachena pakutya.
3 Okuceca kwenu kakungabi ngokwangaphandle okokweluka inwele, lokokugqiza igolide, kumbe okokugqoka izembatho;
Kushonga kwenyu ngakurege kuva kwekunze kwekuruka vhudzi nekwekupfeka goridhe, kana kupfeka nguvo;
4 kodwa umuntu osithekileyo wenhliziyo, entweni engagugiyo yomoya omnene lokuthula, oligugu elikhulu phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
asi ngakuve munhu wakavanzika wemoyo, pachinhu chisingaori chemweya munyoro wakanyarara, anokosha zvikuru pamberi paMwari.
5 Ngoba kudala bazicecisa ngokunjalo labesifazana abangcwele ababethemba uNkulunkulu, bezehlisela ngaphansi kwawabo amadoda;
Nokuti karewo vakazvishongedza saizvozvo vakadzi vatsvene vaivimba naMwari, vachizviisa pasi pevarume vavo pachavo;
6 njengoSara owamlalela uAbrahama, wambiza ngokuthi nkosi, eselingamadodakazi akhe, uba lisenza okuhle njalo lingesatshiswa langokukodwa okwesabekayo.
saSara akateerera Abhurahama akamuidza ishe; vakunda vake vamuri imwi, kana muchiita zvakanaka, uye musingatyiswi nechipi nechipi chinovhundusa.
7 Ngokunjalo madoda, hlalisanani ngokolwazi, limhloniphe owesifazana njengesitsha esibuthakathaka, njengoba labo beyizindlalifa zomusa wempilo kanye lani, ukuze imikhuleko yenu ingavinjelwa.
Saizvozvo varume, garisanai nevakadzi venyu zvinoenderana neruzivo, muchikudza mukadzi sekumudziyo usina simba, sevadyiwo venhaka yenyasha dzeupenyu pamwe navo; kuti minyengetero yenyu irege kudzivirirwa.
8 Okokucina-ke, banini nhliziyonye lonke, lizwelane, lithande abazalwane, libe lobubele, lilomusa;
Pakupedzisirawo, ivai nemoyo umwe mese, muchinzwirana tsitsi, mude hama, muve nemoyo munyoro, mune rudo;
9 lingaphindiseli okubi ngokubi, kumbe ukuthuka ngokuthuka; kodwa esikhundleni salokhu busisani, lisazi ukuthi labizelwa lokho, ukuze lidle ilifa lesibusiso.
musingatsivi chakaipa nechakaipa, kana kutuka nekutuka; asi pachinzvimbo chaizvozvo muchiropafadze, muchiziva kuti ndizvo zvamakadanirwa, kuti mugare nhaka yeropafadzo.
10 Ngoba lowo ofuna ukuthanda impilo, lokubona insuku ezinhle, kanqande ulimi lwakhe kokubi, lendebe zakhe ukuze zingakhulumi inkohliso;
Nokuti uyo anoda kuda upenyu, nekuona mazuva akanaka, ngaadzore rurimi rwake pane zvakaipa, nemiromo yake kuti irege kutaura kunyengera.
11 kaphambuke kokubi, abesesenza okuhle; adinge ukuthula, njalo akunxwanele.
Ngaatsauke pane zvakaipa ndokuita zvakanaka; ngaatsvake rugare arutevere.
12 Ngoba amehlo eNkosi aphezu kwabalungileyo, lendlebe zayo zingasemkhulekweni wabo; kodwa ubuso beNkosi bumelana labenza okubi.
Nokuti meso aIshe ari pamusoro pevakarurama, nenzeve dzake pamunyengetero wavo. Asi chiso chaIshe chinopikisa vanoita zvakaipa.
13 Pho ngubani ongalilimaza, uba lingabalingisi bokuhle?
Zvino ndiani achakukuvadzai, kana muri vatevedzeri vezvakanaka?
14 Kodwa uba lani lihlupheka ngenxa yokulunga, libusisiwe; njalo lingesabi ukwethusa kwabo, njalo lingakhathazeki;
Asi kunyange kana imwi muchitambudzika nekuda kwekururama, makaropafadzwa; uye musatya kutyisa kwavo, kana kuvhiringidzwa;
15 kodwa ngcwelisani iNkosi uNkulunkulu enhliziyweni zenu; beselihlala lizilungisele ukuphendula wonke olibuza isizatho ngethemba elikini, kanye lobumnene lokwesaba,
asi itai Ishe Mwari mutsvene mumoyo yenyu; mugare makazvigadzirira kupindura umwe neumwe anokubvunzai chikonzero chetariro iri mukati menyu, neunyoro nekutya;
16 lilesazela esihle, ukuze kuthi kulokho abalihleba ngakho njengabenzi bobubi bayangeke, labo abathuka ukuziphatha kwenu okuhle kuKristu.
mune hana yakanaka, kuti pavanokucherai sevaiti vezvakaipa vanyare, ivo vanotuka mafambiro enyu akanaka muna Kristu.
17 Ngoba kungcono ukuhlupheka lisenza okuhle, uba intando kaNkulunkulu ikuthanda, kulokuhlupheka lisenza okubi.
Nokuti zviri nani kutambudzika muchiita zvakanaka, kana chido chaMwari chichida, pane muchiita zvakaipa.
18 Ngoba loKristu wahlupheka kanye ngenxa yezono, olungileyo esikhundleni sabangalunganga, ukuze asise kuNkulunkulu; owabulawa enyameni, kodwa wenziwa waphila ngoMoya,
Nokuti Kristuwo wakatambudzika kamwe nekuda kwezvivi, iye wakarurama pachinzvimbo chevasakarurama, kuti atiise kuna Mwari; aurawa zvirokwazvo panyama, asi wakararamiswa neMweya;
19 ayesehambe ngawo laye watshumayela kumimoya esentolongweni,
mauri wakaendawo akaparidzira kumweya iri mutirongo,
20 eyababekade bengalaleli, lapho ukubekezela kukaNkulunkulu kwakukade kulindele, ensukwini zikaNowa lapho umkhumbi wawusakhiwa, okwasindiswa kuwo abalutshwana, okuyikuthi imiphefumulo eyisificaminwembili, ngamanzi.
iyo yaimbova isingateereri, apo moyo murefu waMwari uchimirira, pamazuva aNowa apo areka ichagadzirwa, kukaponeswa mairi vashoma, ndiko kuti mweya misere nemvura.
21 Umfuziselo wawo lubhabhathizo olusisindisayo lathi khathesi, kungeyisikho ukususwa kwengcekeza yenyama, kodwa ukucela kwesazela esihle kuNkulunkulu, ngokuvuka kukaJesu Kristu,
Mufananidzo wayo rubhabhatidzo rwunotiponesawo ikozvino, kwete kubviswa kwetsvina yenyama, asi kukumbira kwehana yakanaka kuna Mwari kubudikidza nekumukazve kwaJesu Kristu,
22 oseye ezulwini, ekhona ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, izingilosi leziphathamandla lamandla sekwehliselwe ngaphansi kwakhe.
ari kuruoko rwerudyi rwaMwari aenda kudenga; vatumwa neumambo nemasimba zvaiswa pasi pake.
