1 KwabaseThesalonika 5
1 Kodwa ngezikhathi langemizuzu, bazalwane, kalisweli ukuthi libhalelwe,
Zvino, hama, kana dziri nguva kana misi hatifaniri kuti tikunyorerei,
2 ngoba lina uqobo liyazi kuhle kakhulu ukuthi usuku lweNkosi luzafika ngokunjalo njengesela ebusuku;
nokuti imi munoziva kwazvo kuti zuva raShe richauya sembavha usiku.
3 ngoba nxa besithi: Ukuthula lokuhlala kuhle, khona ukubhujiswa okujumayo kuzabehlela, njengomhelo kowesifazana okhulelweyo, njalo kabasoze baphunyuke.
Vanhu pavanenge vachiti, “Rugare norunyararo,” kuparadzwa kuchasvika pamusoro pavo nokukurumidza, somukadzi ane mimba worwadziwa, uye havangapunyuki.
4 Kodwa lina, bazalwane, kalikho emnyameni, ukuze lolosuku luliphuthume njengesela;
Asi imi, hama, hamusi murima zvokuti zuva iri rikusvikirei sembavha.
5 lina lonke lingabantwana bokukhanya labantwana bemini; kasisibo abobusuku loba abobumnyama;
Imi mose muri vanakomana vechiedza navanakomana vamasikati. Hatizi vousiku kana verima.
6 ngakho-ke asingalali njengabanye labo, kodwa asilinde siqonde.
Saka zvino, ngatiregei kuita savamwe vavete, asi ngatisvinurei uye tive vanozvidzora.
7 Ngoba abalalayo balala ebusuku; labadakwayo badakwa ebusuku.
Nokuti avo vanovata, vanovata usiku, uye avo vanodhakwa, vanodhakwa usiku.
8 Kodwa thina esingabemini, asiqonde, sifake isivikelo sesifuba sokholo lothando, lethemba losindiso libe likhowa,
Asi sezvo tiri vamasikati, ngatizvidzorei, takapfeka kutenda norudo sechidzitiro chechipfuva, netariro yoruponeso senguwani.
9 ngoba uNkulunkulu kasimiselanga ulaka, kodwa ukuzuza usindiso ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu,
Nokuti Mwari haana kutisarudza kuti tive vokutsamwirwa asi kuti tigamuchire ruponeso kubudikidza naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
10 owasifelayo, ukuze loba siphapheme loba silele, siphile kanye laye.
Akatifira isu kuitira kuti, kunyange takasvinura kana tivete, tigare pamwe chete naye.
11 Ngakho khuthazanani, lakhane, njengoba lani likwenza.
Naizvozvo kurudziranai uye muvakane, sezvamunoita zvino.
12 Kodwa siyalincenga, bazalwane, ukuthi libazi labo abasebenza nzima phakathi kwenu, labaliphathayo eNkosini, labalelulekayo,
Zvino tinokukumbirai, hama, kuti muremekedze avo vanoshanda nesimba pakati penyu, vari pamusoro penyu muna She uye vanokurayirai.
13 njalo libahlonipha kakhulu okwedlula amalawulo ethandweni ngenxa yomsebenzi wabo. Hlalisanani ngokuthula.
Muvakudze zvikuru murudo nokuda kwebasa ravo. Garai murunyararo nomumwe nomumwe wenyu.
14 Kodwa siyalikhuthaza, bazalwane, yelulekani abangelamthetho, liduduze abadanileyo, lisekele ababuthakathaka, libekezelele bonke.
Uye tinokukurudzirai, hama, kuti muyambire avo vano usimbe, mukurudzire vanotya, batsirai vasina simba, muite mwoyo murefu kuvanhu vose.
15 Qaphelani ukuthi kungabi khona ophindisela omunye okubi ngokubi; kodwa dingisisani ngesikhathi sonke okuhle lomunye komunye lakibo bonke.
Muve nechokwadi kuti kurege kuva nomunhu anodzorera chakaipa nechakaipa, asi edzai kuva nomwoyo munyoro kuno mumwe nomumwe wenyu uye nokuna vose.
16 Thokozani njalonjalo;
Farai nguva dzose;
17 khulekani lingaphezi;
rambai muchinyengetera;
18 bongani kukho konke; ngoba lokhu kuyintando kaNkulunkulu kuKristu Jesu ngani.
vongai pazvinhu zvose, nokuti ndiko kuda kwaMwari kwamuri muna Kristu Jesu.
19 Lingamcitshi uMoya;
Musadzima moto woMweya;
20 lingadeleli iziprofetho;
musazvidza zviprofita.
21 hlolisisani konke; libambelele kokuhle;
Edzai zvinhu zvose. Batirirai kune zvakanaka.
22 dedani kukho konke ukubonakala kobubi.
Regai zvakaipa zvose.
23 Kungathi uNkulunkulu wokuthula uqobo angalenza libe ngcwele ngokupheleleyo; njalo kungathi umoya wenu wonke lomphefumulo lomzimba kungalondolozwa kungasoleki ekufikeni kweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.
Mwari pachake, iye Mwari worugare, ngaakuitei vatsvene kwazvo kwazvo. Mweya wenyu wose, nomwoyo uye nomuviri zvichengetwe zvisina mhosva pakuuya kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
24 Uthembekile yena olibizayo; laye ozakwenza lokhu.
Iye anokudanai akatendeka uye achazviita.
25 Bazalwane, sikhulekeleni.
Hama, tinyengeterereiwo.
26 Bingelelani abazalwane bonke ngokwanga okungcwele.
Kwazisai hama dzose nokutsvoda kutsvene.
27 Ngiyalifungisa ngeNkosi, ukuthi lincwadi ifundwe kubo bonke abazalwane abangcwele.
Ndinokurayirai pamberi paIshe kuti tsamba iyi iverengerwe hama dzose.
28 Umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu kawube lani. Ameni.
Nyasha dzaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu ngadzive nemi.
