1 UPhetro 4
1 Njengoba uKristu wasihluphekela enyameni, hlomani lani ngengqondo efananayo, ngoba ohlupheke enyameni, useyekele isono,
asmākaṁ vinimayena khrīṣṭaḥ śarīrasambandhe daṇḍaṁ bhuktavān ato hetoḥ śarīrasambandhe yo daṇḍaṁ bhuktavān sa pāpāt mukta
2 ukuze isikhathi esiseleyo enyameni lingabe lisaphilela inkanuko zabantu, kodwa intando kaNkulunkulu.
itibhāvena yūyamapi susajjībhūya dehavāsasyāvaśiṣṭaṁ samayaṁ punarmānavānām icchāsādhanārthaṁ nahi kintvīśvarasyecchāsādhanārthaṁ yāpayata|
3 Ngoba kwanele kithi ukuthi isikhathi sempilo esedlulileyo siqhube intando yabezizwe, lapho sasihamba emanyaleni, ezinkanukweni, ekudakweni, ekuminzeni, ekunatheni, lekukhonzeni izithombe okuyangisayo;
āyuṣo yaḥ samayo vyatītastasmin yuṣmābhi ryad devapūjakānām icchāsādhanaṁ kāmakutsitābhilāṣamadyapānaraṅgarasamattatāghṛṇārhadevapūjācaraṇañcākāri tena bāhulyaṁ|
4 abamangala kukho, nxa lingagijimi ndawonye kulokhukuthululeka kwamanyala, belihlambaza;
yūyaṁ taiḥ saha tasmin sarvvanāśapaṅke majjituṁ na dhāvatha, ityanenāścaryyaṁ vijñāya te yuṣmān nindanti|
5 abazaziphendulela kulowo olungele ukwahlulela abaphilayo labafileyo.
kintu yo jīvatāṁ mṛtānāñca vicāraṁ karttum udyato'sti tasmai tairuttaraṁ dāyiṣyate|
6 Ngoba ngenxa yalokhu ivangeli latshunyayelwa lakwabafileyo, ukuze bahlulelwe ngokwabantu enyameni, kodwa baphile ngokukaNkulunkulu emoyeni.
yato heto rye mṛtāsteṣāṁ yat mānavoddeśyaḥ śārīrikavicāraḥ kintvīśvaroddeśyam ātmikajīvanaṁ bhavat tadarthaṁ teṣāmapi sannidhau susamācāraḥ prakāśito'bhavat|
7 Kodwa ukuphela kwezinto zonke sekusondele; ngakho qondani lilinde lisemikhulekweni;
sarvveṣām antimakāla upasthitastasmād yūyaṁ subuddhayaḥ prārthanārthaṁ jāgrataśca bhavata|
8 kodwa phambi kwakho konke banini lothando oluvuthayo omunye komunye, ngoba uthando luzasibekela inkithinkithi yezono;
viśeṣataḥ parasparaṁ gāḍhaṁ prema kuruta, yataḥ, pāpānāmapi bāhulyaṁ premnaivācchādayiṣyate|
9 phathanani kuhle ekwethekelaneni, ngaphandle kokusola;
kātaroktiṁ vinā parasparam ātithyaṁ kṛruta|
10 ngulowo lalowo njengesiphiwo asemukeleyo, kasisebenze omunye komunye, njengabaphathi abalungileyo bomusa kaNkulunkulu ozinhlobonhlobo;
yena yo varo labdhastenaiva sa param upakarotṛ, itthaṁ yūyam īśvarasya bahuvidhaprasādasyottamā bhāṇḍāgārādhipā bhavata|
11 uba umuntu ekhuluma, kakhulume njengamazwi kaNkulunkulu; uba umuntu esebenza, kasebenze njengokuvela emandleni uNkulunkulu awanikayo; ukuze uNkulunkulu adunyiswe kuzo zonke izinto ngoJesu Kristu, okukuye ubukhosi lamandla kuze kube nini lanini. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
yo vākyaṁ kathayati sa īśvarasya vākyamiva kathayatu yaśca param upakaroti sa īśvaradattasāmarthyādivopakarotu| sarvvaviṣaye yīśukhrīṣṭeneśvarasya gauravaṁ prakāśyatāṁ tasyaiva gauravaṁ parākramaśca sarvvadā bhūyāt| āmena| (aiōn g165)
12 Bathandekayo, lingamangali ngesilingo esitshisayo esiphezu kwenu esilihlolayo, ngokungathi lehlelwe yinto engaziwayo;
he priyatamāḥ, yuṣmākaṁ parīkṣārthaṁ yastāpo yuṣmāsu varttate tam asambhavaghaṭitaṁ matvā nāścaryyaṁ jānīta,
13 kodwa njengoba lihlanganyela inhlupheko zikaKristu, thokozani, ukuze kuthi lekwembulweni kwenkazimulo yakhe lithokoze lijabule kakhulu.
kintu khrīṣṭena kleśānāṁ sahabhāgitvād ānandata tena tasya pratāpaprakāśe'pyānanandena praphullā bhaviṣyatha|
14 Uba lithukwa ngenxa yebizo likaKristu, libusisiwe; ngoba uMoya wenkazimulo lokaNkulunkulu uhlezi phezu kwenu; ngabo-ke uyathukwa, kodwa ngani uyadunyiswa.
yadi khrīṣṭasya nāmahetunā yuṣmākaṁ nindā bhavati tarhi yūyaṁ dhanyā yato gauravadāyaka īśvarasyātmā yuṣmāsvadhitiṣṭhati teṣāṁ madhye sa nindyate kintu yuṣmanmadhye praśaṁsyate|
15 Kodwa kakungabi khona owakini ohlupheka njengombulali, loba isela, loba umenzi wokubi, loba njengozigaxa endabeni zabanye;
kintu yuṣmākaṁ ko'pi hantā vā cairo vā duṣkarmmakṛd vā parādhikāracarccaka iva daṇḍaṁ na bhuṅktāṁ|
16 kodwa uba ehlupheka njengomKristu, kangabi lanhloni, kodwa kadumise uNkulunkulu ngenxa yalokhu.
yadi ca khrīṣṭīyāna iva daṇḍaṁ bhuṅkte tarhi sa na lajjamānastatkāraṇād īśvaraṁ praśaṁsatu|
17 Ngoba sekuyisikhathi sokuthi ukwahlulela kuqale endlini kaNkulunkulu; njalo uba kuqala kithi, kuzakuba yini ukuphela kwalabo abangalalelanga ivangeli likaNkulunkulu?
yato vicārasyārambhasamaye īśvarasya mandire yujyate yadi cāsmatsvārabhate tarhīśvarīyasusaṁvādāgrāhiṇāṁ śeṣadaśā kā bhaviṣyati?
18 Uba-ke olungileyo esindiswa ngobulukhuni, oweyisa uNkulunkulu lesoni uzabonakala ngaphi?
dhārmmikenāpi cet trāṇam atikṛcchreṇa gamyate| tarhyadhārmmikapāpibhyām āśrayaḥ kutra lapsyate|
19 Ngakho-ke labo abahluphekayo ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu, njengakuMdali othembekileyo kabanikele eyabo imiphefumulo ekwenzeni okuhle.
ata īśvarecchāto ye duḥkhaṁ bhuñjate te sadācāreṇa svātmāno viśvāsyasraṣṭurīśvasya karābhyāṁ nidadhatāṁ|
