1 KwabaseThesalonika 5
1 Kodwa ngezikhathi langemizuzu, bazalwane, kalisweli ukuthi libhalelwe,
Lino katulangene achindi alimwi azyindi zyamwaka nobakwesu, tamukwe chimunga mulalembulula.
2 ngoba lina uqobo liyazi kuhle kakhulu ukuthi usuku lweNkosi luzafika ngokunjalo njengesela ebusuku;
Nkambo anywebo lwanu mulizi kabotu kuti bunsi bwaMwami busika mbuli mubbi mansiku.
3 ngoba nxa besithi: Ukuthula lokuhlala kuhle, khona ukubhujiswa okujumayo kuzabehlela, njengomhelo kowesifazana okhulelweyo, njalo kabasoze baphunyuke.
Elyo nibati,”Lumuno alimwi akubambikana,”mpawo kunyonyoka kwamachampmamo kulobasikila. Kunoli mbuli machise akuzyala kumwanakazi ulaada. takukwe mbubanga balapuzuka.
4 Kodwa lina, bazalwane, kalikho emnyameni, ukuze lolosuku luliphuthume njengesela;
Pesi inywe, nobakwesu, tamuli mumudima zyakuti buzuba nga bulamuzida mbuli mubbi.
5 lina lonke lingabantwana bokukhanya labantwana bemini; kasisibo abobusuku loba abobumnyama;
Nkambo nywe moonse muli bana balombe bamumuni alimwi bana balombe babuzuba. Tatuli bana balombe bamansiku naa bamudima.
6 ngakho-ke asingalali njengabanye labo, kodwa asilinde siqonde.
Nkinkako tatoni mbuli bingi mbubachita. Ani kuti, tusinsimuke akuba changa.
7 Ngoba abalalayo balala ebusuku; labadakwayo badakwa ebusuku.
Nkambo abo bawona bachita obo mansiku, alimwi abo bakolwa bachita obo mansiku.
8 Kodwa thina esingabemini, asiqonde, sifake isivikelo sesifuba sokholo lothando, lethemba losindiso libe likhowa,
Pesi mbutuli babuzuba, twelede kukkala katuli changa alimwi akuzwata lusyomo aluyando mbuli ntobo, alimwi bulangilizi bwalufutuko bwangwani yesu.
9 ngoba uNkulunkulu kasimiselanga ulaka, kodwa ukuzuza usindiso ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu,
Nkambo leza takatusalila bukali, pesi kujana lufutuko kwindila muli Mwami Jesu Kkilisito.
10 owasifelayo, ukuze loba siphapheme loba silele, siphile kanye laye.
Nguwe wakatufwida swe kut, nikuba tulalanga na tulona, tukapone amwi anguwe.
11 Ngakho khuthazanani, lakhane, njengoba lani likwenza.
Nkinkanko mumbulizyanye umwi awumwi alimwi muyakane, mbuli mbumulokuchita kale.
12 Kodwa siyalincenga, bazalwane, ukuthi libazi labo abasebenza nzima phakathi kwenu, labaliphathayo eNkosini, labalelulekayo,
Tulokumukombelezya chamoyo, nobakwesu kuti muyeye abo babeleka akati kanu alimwi abo balajulu lyanu muMwami alimwi bamulayilila.
13 njalo libahlonipha kakhulu okwedlula amalawulo ethandweni ngenxa yomsebenzi wabo. Hlalisanani ngokuthula.
Twamukumbila alubo mubalemeke loko muluyando nkambo kamilimo yabo. Ngamube alumuno akati kanu.
14 Kodwa siyalikhuthaza, bazalwane, yelulekani abangelamthetho, liduduze abadanileyo, lisekele ababuthakathaka, libekezelele bonke.
Tulamusungwazya, nobakwesu; muchenjezye abo bakandu, musungwazye batyompedwe, mugwasye batete, alimwi mube amoyo mulamfu kulibonse.
15 Qaphelani ukuthi kungabi khona ophindisela omunye okubi ngokubi; kodwa dingisisani ngesikhathi sonke okuhle lomunye komunye lakibo bonke.
Mubone kuti Takwe naba omwe ubwedezya chibi achibi kuli umwi. Anu kuti, mutobele ezyo zibotu kuli umwi awumwi alimwi kulibonse.
16 Thokozani njalonjalo;
Mukondwe lyonse.
17 khulekani lingaphezi;
Mukombe katakwe kwimikila.
18 bongani kukho konke; ngoba lokhu kuyintando kaNkulunkulu kuKristu Jesu ngani.
Mulizyonse mupe kulumba. Nkambo oku nkukuyanda kwaLeza muli Kkilisito Jesu kulindinywe.
19 Lingamcitshi uMoya;
Mutatontozyi Muuya.
20 lingadeleli iziprofetho;
Mutanyansyi businsimi.
21 hlolisisani konke; libambelele kokuhle;
Musunke zintu zyonse. Mujatilile kuzibotu.
22 dedani kukho konke ukubonakala kobubi.
Muswene kule kuzwa kububi bwamisyobo yoonse.
23 Kungathi uNkulunkulu wokuthula uqobo angalenza libe ngcwele ngokupheleleyo; njalo kungathi umoya wenu wonke lomphefumulo lomzimba kungalondolozwa kungasoleki ekufikeni kweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.
Inche Leza walumuno amusalazye kumaninide. Inche amuuya wanu wonse, moyo, alimwi, mubili zibambwe katakwe mulandu nkambo kwakuboola kwaMwami wesu Jesu Kkilisito.
24 Uthembekile yena olibizayo; laye ozakwenza lokhu.
Ulisyomekede oyo umwiita, oyo ulozichita lubo.
25 Bazalwane, sikhulekeleni.
Nobakwesu, mutukombele aswebo.
26 Bingelelani abazalwane bonke ngokwanga okungcwele.
Mujuzye bakwesu a nkisi isalala.
27 Ngiyalifungisa ngeNkosi, ukuthi lincwadi ifundwe kubo bonke abazalwane abangcwele.
Ndamulayilila chamoyo wonse kwinda muMwami kuti olu lugwalo lubalwe kubakwesu bonse.
28 Umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu kawube lani. Ameni.
Iluzyalo lwaMwami Jesu Kkilisito lube anywebo.
