1 KuThimothi 5
1 Ungamkhalimeli omdala, kodwa meluleke njengoyihlo; abatsha njengabafowenu;
Usinjwangili ng'osi nsee. Bali mpelayi muoyo kama Dadi wakhu. Ubhapelayi muoyo bhasongolo bhakigosi kana kwamba ndo bhalongobhu.
2 abesifazana abadala njengonyoko; abesifazana abatsha njengabodadewenu, ekuhlambulukeni konke.
Ubhapelayi muoyo bhadala bhaseya kama bhanyinuakhu ni bhadala bhah'enja kama bhal'ombobhu kwa bhunofu bhuoha.
3 Hlonipha abafelokazi abangabafelokazi isibili.
Bhaheshimuajhi bhajane, bhala bhabhajhele bhajane nesu.
4 Kodwa uba umfelokazi othile elabantwana loba abazukulu, kabafunde kuqala ukuhlonipha indlu yakwabo, kabenanise umkhondo kubazali; ngoba lokhu kuhle kuyemukeleka phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Lakini kama mjane ajhe ni bhana au fij'okholo, bhalekayi hosi bhakimanyisiajhi kulasya litengo kwa bhanu bha munyumba jha bhene. Bhalekayi bhabhapelayi bhazazi bha bhene manofu, kwa kujha ejhe jhipendesya palongolo pa K'yara.
5 Lowo-ke ongumfelokazi isibili osele yedwa uthembele kuNkulunkulu, uhlala ekunxuseni lemikhulekweni ebusuku lemini.
Lakini mjane nesu ndo jhola jhaalekibhu muene. Ni muene ibheka litegemelu lya muene kwa K'yara. Magono ghoha idumu mu sala ni maombesi kiru ni musi.
6 Kanti lowo ozinikela ekuzithokoziseni, ufile ephila.
Hata naha, n'dala jhola jhaitama kwa anasa afuili, ingawa ikeka.
7 Laya-ke ngalezizinto, ukuze bangasoleki.
Na ughahubiriajhi agha mambo ili kwamba bhasijhi ni lawama.
8 Kodwa uba umuntu engondli abakibo, ikakhulu abendlu yakhe, uluphikile ukholo, futhi mubi kulongakholwayo.
Ila kama munu abhatunzili lepi bhalongomunu, hususani bhala bhabhajhele mu nyumba jha muene ajhibelili imani na ndo mbibhi kuliko munu jhaabelikukiera.
9 Kangabalwa umfelokazi ongaphansi kweminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha, umfazi owake wenda endodeni kanye,
Basi n'dala alembekisibhwajhi mu orodha kama mjane akajhelayi ni umri bhwabhubeli kup'ong'oka miaka sitini na ndo n'dala ghwa n'gosi mmonga.
10 onconywa ngemisebenzi emihle, uba ondle abantwana, uba engenise izihambi, uba egezise inyawo zabangcwele, uba esize abahluphekayo, uba ekhuthalele wonke umsebenzi omuhle.
Lazima ajhelayi amanyikene kwa matendo manofu, ikajhelayi abhajhangalili bhana, au ajhe mkarimu kwa bhahesya, au asukili magolo gha bhabhiamini, au abhatangatili ambabho bhatesibhweghe, au akihomisi kwa kihengu lyolyoha linofu.
11 Kodwa abafelokazi abatsha ubale; ngoba nxa sebelenkanuko ezimelana loKristu, bafuna ukwenda;
Lakini kwa bhala bhajane bhahenja, belayi kubhalembesya mu orodha jha bhajane. Kwa kujha bhakajhingilayi mu matamanio gha kimb'el'e dhidi jha Kristu, bhilonda kugegikibhwa.
12 balokulahlwa, ngoba bachithile ukholo lwabo lokuqala.
Kwa njela ejhe ijhingila mu hatia kwa kujha idenya kwih'omesya kwa bhene kwa kubhuandu.
13 Futhi-ke ngesikhathi esifananayo bafunda ukuvilapha bezula lezindlu, futhi bengavilaphi kuphela, kodwa babuye bahlebe bengena kokungeyisikho okwabo, bekhuluma okungafanelanga.
Na kabhele kujhingila mu mazoezi gha uvivu. Bhene bhisyonghoka nyumba kwa nyumba. Sio tu bhakhololofu bali, kabhele bhasomani na bhabhijhingila mambo gha bhangi. Bhene bhijobha mambo ghaghilondekalepi kughajobha.
14 Ngakho ngifisa ukuthi abafelokazi abatsha bende, bazale abantwana, baphathe umuzi wabo, banganiki isitha lathuba lokuthuka.
Henu nene nilonda bhadala bhah'enja bhagegikibhwajhi, bhahogolayi bhana, bhajhemelelayi nyumba sya bhene, ili kubelakumpela adui nafasi jha kututakila kwa kubhomba dhambi.
15 Ngoba lakhathesi abanye sebephambuke balandela uSathane.
Kwa ndabha baadhi jha bhene bhan'geukili shetani.
16 Uba okholwayo owesilisa kumbe okholwayo owesifazana elabafelokazi, kabasize, njalo ibandla lingathwaliswa nzima, ukuze lisize abangabafelokazi isibili.
Kama n'dala jhejhioha akiera ajhe ni bhajane, basi na abhatangatilayi, ili kanisa lisilemebhwi, ili libhwesiajhi kubhatangatila bhala bhabhajhele bhajane nesu.
17 Abadala abaphatha kuhle bafanele ukuhlonitshwa ngokuphindiweyo, ikakhulu labo abasebenza nzima elizwini lekufundiseni;
Basi bhaseya bhala bhabhitabhwala kinofu bhabhalangibhwayi kujha bhilondeka litengo marajhioha, hasa bhala bhabhikishughulisha ni kumanyisya lilobhi lya K'yara.
18 ngoba umbhalo uthi: Ungayifaki isayeke inkabi ebhulayo; futhi uthi: Isisebenzi sifanele iholo laso.
Kwa kujha majhandiku ghijobha, “Usimfumbi n'singu ng'ombe pailya nafaka,” na “Nimbomba mahengu ilondeka mshahara ghwa muene.”
19 Ungalemukeli icala elimelana lomdala, ngaphandle phambi kwabafakazi ababili kumbe abathathu.
Usijhambeleli mashtaka dhidi jha nseya isipokujha kujhe ni mashahidi bhabhele au bhadatu.
20 Abonayo basole phambi kwabo bonke, ukuze abanye labo babe lokwesaba.
Bhaonyajhi bhakosaji palongolo pa bhanu bhoha ili bhangi bhabhasiele labda bhibetakutila.
21 Ngiyakulayisisa phambi kukaNkulunkulu leNkosi uJesu Kristu lengilosi ezikhethiweyo, ukuze uzigcine lezizinto ngokungaqumi ngaphambili, ungenzi lutho ngokubandlulula.
Nikulaghisya kwa dhati palongolo pa K'yara ni palongolo pa Kristu Yesu, ni malaika bhateule, kwamba usitunzi malaghisu agha bila ubaguzi bhwobhwoha, ni kwamba usibhombi lijambo lyolyoha kwa upendelelu.
22 Ungaphangisi ukubeka izandla phezu komuntu, futhi ungahlanganyeli ezonweni zabanye; uzigcine wena umsulwa.
Usimbekeli munu jhejhioha mabhoko haraka. Usishiriki dhambi jha munu jhongi. Jhilondeka kwitunza ghwa muene ujhelayi kinofu.
23 Ungabe usanatha amanzi wodwa, kodwa sebenzisa iwayini elilutshwana, ngenxa yesisu sakho lemikhuhlane yakho futhifuthi.
Wilondeka lepi kunywa masi ghene. Badala jhiake, unyuajhi mvinyo bhudebe kwandabha jha lileme ni matamu gha bhebhe gha mara kwa mara.
24 Izono zabanye abantu zisobala, zibaqalela ukuya ekugwetshweni; kanti ezabanye ziyalandela.
Dhambi sya baadhi jha bhanu simanyikana kwa bhuwazi, ni kubhalongolela mu hukumu. Lakini baadhi jha dhambi sikisya baadajhe.
25 Ngokunjalo lemisebenzi emihle isobala; laleyo eyehlukileyo ingeke ifihlakale.
Fefuefu, baadhi jha mahengu, manofu ghimanyikana kwa bhuwazi, lakini hata samana sibetalepi kwifigha.
