1 Ungamkhalimeli omdala, kodwa meluleke njengoyihlo; abatsha njengabafowenu;
Ulekhe ukhupwa tila ubaba ugogo. Udwandage ndu dadayo upape amakha avafijana avademi vope valukolo lwakho.
2 abesifazana abadala njengonyoko; abesifazana abatsha njengabodadewenu, ekuhlambulukeni konke.
Uvape amakha ava vanyokho avagogolo nda va vanyokho vakho, na vadala avachebe manya ava vahanchavo nu vugolofu woni.
3 Hlonipha abafelokazi abangabafelokazi isibili.
Uvagane avafyile vala avafyuelweli lweli.
4 Kodwa uba umfelokazi othile elabantwana loba abazukulu, kabafunde kuqala ukuhlonipha indlu yakwabo, kabenanise umkhondo kubazali; ngoba lokhu kuhle kuyemukeleka phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Pangave ufyule alina vana navakhukhu, valeghe taasi vamanyile ukhuvonesya elisima khuvanu va munyumba vavevene.
5 Lowo-ke ongumfelokazi isibili osele yedwa uthembele kuNkulunkulu, uhlala ekunxuseni lemikhulekweni ebusuku lemini.
Pakhuva ufyile lwelweli viula uvaalimawene uyu ivikha amasage goni khwa Nguluve. Hange itama isikhunchoni munyesayo pakilo na pamusi.
6 Kanti lowo ozinikela ekuzithokoziseni, ufile ephila.
Pakhuva udala uvi itama mombutula nongwa ufyile ndagave mwumii.
7 Laya-ke ngalezizinto, ukuze bangasoleki.
Numayisyage umbombo nchi vasite ukhuva nulukuto.
8 Kodwa uba umuntu engondli abakibo, ikakhulu abendlu yakhe, uluphikile ukholo, futhi mubi kulongakholwayo.
Pakhuva umunu uvisakhuva tunja avalukololwe, vala avamunyumba vavene uyu alubelile ulwidikho, imbivi ndavasavi khwidekha.
9 Kangabalwa umfelokazi ongaphansi kweminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha, umfazi owake wenda endodeni kanye,
Uno avadala visimbi wage ndavafyile avanya vigono ifi safi pungukha emiakha sitini vwlala va gosi yumo.
10 onconywa ngemisebenzi emihle, uba ondle abantwana, uba engenise izihambi, uba egezise inyawo zabangcwele, uba esize abahluphekayo, uba ekhuthalele wonke umsebenzi omuhle.
Panogilenchumanyi khe nanchi mbombo cha mwene inonu, ingave avatunchinche avana, hange avile nikhisa khuva genji apange akalifye amatunde ga videkhi, apange agelile ukhwihumya pambombo yoni enonu.
11 Kodwa abafelokazi abatsha ubale; ngoba nxa sebelenkanuko ezimelana loKristu, bafuna ukwenda;
Pu nita khuvala avafyele avadebe, ubelage ukhuvasimba mukala ya vafyile. Pakhuva vingingele mutamaa cha mbili vinogwaga ukhutoliwa.
12 balokulahlwa, ngoba bachithile ukholo lwabo lokuqala.
Khunjila iye vikhwingila munongwa nukhudenya indagilo n'cha lutanchi.
13 Futhi-ke ngesikhathi esifananayo bafunda ukuvilapha bezula lezindlu, futhi bengavilaphi kuphela, kodwa babuye bahlebe bengena kokungeyisikho okwabo, bekhuluma okungafanelanga.
Nukhhwingila mumbu chovele wa wolo avene vigenda munyomba neinyumba saviva volo. Pakhuva vikwingila musolo nimbombo inchingu vichovaga inongwa in'chi tawajinogiwa ukhuvuchova.
14 Ngakho ngifisa ukuthi abafelokazi abatsha bende, bazale abantwana, baphathe umuzi wabo, banganiki isitha lathuba lokuthuka.
Pu une ninogwa avadala avadebe vatoli wage, avagogolo avana vimelile unyumba n'cha vene vasile ukhupa enafasi usetano yakhutusitakha nukhuvumba imbivi.
15 Ngoba lakhathesi abanye sebephambuke balandela uSathane.
Pakhuva vingi hata lino vapendwighe kwa setano.
16 Uba okholwayo owesilisa kumbe okholwayo owesifazana elabafelokazi, kabasize, njalo ibandla lingathwaliswa nzima, ukuze lisize abangabafelokazi isibili.
Angave pwale udala umwidekhu alina va fyile avatange pakhuva elikanisa yaligatala ukhuvatanga avafyile lweli lweli.
17 Abadala abaphatha kuhle bafanele ukuhlonitshwa ngokuphindiweyo, ikakhulu labo abasebenza nzima elizwini lekufundiseni;
Lino avagogolo vala avilongoncha vunonu vavaliliwage ukhuva vinogwa elisima maraghangi, nasavala avivomba imbombo ya khumanyisya elimenyu lya Nguluve.
18 ngoba umbhalo uthi: Ungayifaki isayeke inkabi ebhulayo; futhi uthi: Isisebenzi sifanele iholo laso.
Pakhuva elivangili lita “usite ukhuchendula undomo gwa senga vuyila elinyasi” nu “mbombo vulikava uluhombo lwa mwene.”
19 Ungalemukeli icala elimelana lomdala, ngaphandle phambi kwabafakazi ababili kumbe abathathu.
Usite ukhupokhela inongwa n'cha gogolo pange vave avasaidi vavili vadatu.
20 Abonayo basole phambi kwabo bonke, ukuze abanye labo babe lokwesaba.
Vavunge avayagile pamoho ga vanu voni apange avasigile ya vipona.
21 Ngiyakulayisisa phambi kukaNkulunkulu leNkosi uJesu Kristu lengilosi ezikhethiweyo, ukuze uzigcine lezizinto ngokungaqumi ngaphambili, ungenzi lutho ngokubandlulula.
Nikhukhulagile pamiho ga Nguluve nu Yesu Kelisiti, na vasungwa avaha uwe ukhuta vabate indagilo nchi bila khubagula, nu site ukhuvomba ekhinu kyo kyoni nukhulola vupande.
22 Ungaphangisi ukubeka izandla phezu komuntu, futhi ungahlanganyeli ezonweni zabanye; uzigcine wena umsulwa.
Usite ukhusaya umunu khimbive usite ukhuhanga nuvatulanongwa wa munu kyunge.
23 Ungabe usanatha amanzi wodwa, kodwa sebenzisa iwayini elilutshwana, ngenxa yesisu sakho lemikhuhlane yakho futhifuthi.
sapanogile ukhunywa amagosi gene unywi n'chage nuvubaga khunjola ya vutamu wa litumbu lyakho khila isikhi.
24 Izono zabanye abantu zisobala, zibaqalela ukuya ekugwetshweni; kanti ezabanye ziyalandela.
Inongwa n'cha vanu avange nchi vonekha pavu valafu, mn'chinge nchilongo la khuvu hegi ni n'chinge nchikonga khusana.
25 Ngokunjalo lemisebenzi emihle isobala; laleyo eyehlukileyo ingeke ifihlakale.
Vivule vule imbombo n'chinge inonu n'chivonekha pavu valafu nin'chinge n'chifihekha.
