1 Ngakho-ke, lokhu silenkonzo le, njengoba senzelwa umusa, kasidinwa;
Kulwejo, kulwokubha china imfulubhendo inu, na lwakutyo chilamiye echigongo, chitakufwa mwoyo.
2 kodwa sizilahlile izinto ezifihliweyo zehlazo, singahambi ebuqilini, singaphambanisi ilizwi likaNkulunkulu, kodwa ngokwenza obala iqiniso siyazibuka kuso sonke isazela sabantu phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Nawe chilalemele jinjila jona ejanjiswalo na jinu jiselekele. Chitakwikala kwo bhuligelige, na chitalikolela kubhibhi lisango lya Nyamuanga. Kwokuleta jinu jili jachimali, echiyolesha eswe abhene mumitima gwa bhuli munu imbele ya Nyamuanga.
3 Kodwa uba futhi ivangeli lethu lembesiwe, lembesiwe kulabo ababhubhayo;
Nawe ikabha okulasha kwemwe kwiselekele, iselekele kubhaliya bhanu abhasimagila.
4 okubo unkulunkulu walelilizwe uphumputhekisile ingqondo zabangakholwayo, ukuze kungakhanyi kubo ukukhanya kwevangeli lenkazimulo kaKristu, ongumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. (aiōn )
Mubhusosi bhwebhwe, nyamuanga we chalo chinu aongelesishe obhwiganilisha bhinu bhutakwikilisha. Echo echibhonekana, bhatakutula kulola obwelu bhwe misango jo bhwana ja likusho lya Kristo, unu ali lususo lwa Nyamuanga. (aiōn )
5 Ngoba kasizitshumayeli, kodwa uKristu Jesu iNkosi; njalo thina sizinceku zenu ngenxa kaJesu.
Kulwokubha chitakwilasha eswe abhene, tali Kristo kuti Latabhugenyi, na eswe abhene lwa bhakosi bhemwe ingulu ya Yesu.
6 Ngoba uNkulunkulu owathi ukukhanya kukhanya kuvela ebumnyameni, ukhanyisile ezinhliziyweni zethu, ukupha ukukhanya kolwazi lwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ebusweni bukaJesu Kristu.
Kulwokubha Nyamuanga niwe aikile, “Obhwelu bhuli sekana okusokelela muchisute.” Achisekaniye mumyoyo jeswe, okusosha obhwelu bhwo bhwengeso bwa likusho lya Nyamuanga mukubhao kwa Yesu Kristo.
7 Kodwa silalo leligugu ezitsheni zebumba, ukuze ubuhlekazi bamandla bube ngobukaNkulunkulu, njalo bungaveli kithi;
Nawe chili nobhunibhi mubhinu bhya limoga, koleleki imenyekane ati amanaga amakulu ni ga Nyamuanga na gatali geswe.
8 siyaminyezelwa inhlangothi zonke, kodwa kasibandezeleki; siyadideka, kodwa kasilahli ithemba;
Echinyaka bhuli nyanko, nawe chitakulumatanyishwa. Echifwa emyoyo nawe chitakwijula okufwa emyoyo.
9 siyazingelwa, kodwa kasihlanyukwa; siwiselwa phansi, kodwa kasibhujiswa;
Echinyansibhwa nawe chichali kweswa. Echeswa ansi nawe chitakusimagisibhwa.
10 sihamba sithwele njalonjalo ukufa kweNkosi uJesu emzimbeni, ukuze lempilo kaJesu ibonakaliswe emzimbeni wethu.
Nsiku jona echigega kumubhili gweswe olufu lwa Yesu, koleleki obhuanga bhwa Yesu bhubhonekane ona mumibhili jeswe.
11 Ngoba thina esiphilayo sinikelwa njalonjalo ekufeni ngenxa kaJesu, ukuze lempilo kaJesu ibonakaliswe enyameni yethu efayo.
Eswe bhanu chilamile nsiku jona chisosibhwe okufwa ingulu ya Yesu, koleleki obhuanga bhwa Yesu bhubhonekane mumubhili jeswe ejechinyamubhili.
12 Ngakho ukufa kusebenza kithi, kodwa impilo kini.
Kulwainsonga inu, olufu olukola emilimu munda yeswe, nawe obhuanga obhukola emilimu munda yemwe.
13 Ngakho silalowomoya wokholo, njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Ngakholwa, ngakho ngakhuluma; lathi siyakholwa, ngakho lathi siyakhuluma;
Nawe china omwoyo guliya guliya ogwelikisha okulubhana nachinu chandikilwe: “Nekilisishe, kulwejo naikile. “Eswe ona echikilisha, nakutyo ona echaika.
14 sisazi ukuthi lowo owayivusayo iNkosi uJesu uzasivusa lathi ngoJesu, asiveze kanye lani.
Echimenya ati uliya amusuluye Latabhugenyi Yesu ona alichisulula amwi nage. Echimenya ati alichileta eswe amwi nemwe mubhumwi bhwae.
15 Ngoba zonke izinto zingenxa yenu, ukuze umusa ovamileyo, ngokubonga kwabanengi, wengezelelwe kube ludumo lukaNkulunkulu.
Bhuli chinu ni ingulu yemwe koleleki, nalwakutyo echigongo echisugana kubhanu bhamfu, lisime lyani libhone okwiyongesha kwa likusho lya Nyamuanga.
16 Ngakho-ke kasidinwa, kodwa lanxa umuntu wethu wangaphandle ebhujiswa, kube kanti owangaphakathi wenziwa abe mutsha insuku ngensuku.
Kulwejo chitakufwa mioyo. Nolo kutyo anja chinyamukile, nawe munda echikolwa bhayaya kunsiku na kunsiku.
17 Ngoba inhlupheko yethu elula engeyomzuzwana iyasisebenzela isisindo sobukhosi esilaphakade esingelakulinganiswa isibili, (aiōnios )
Kwomwanya gunu mufuyi, okunyaka kunu okwololo agachikola eswe ingulu ya kajanende okusito kwa likushyo linu elikila ndengo yona. (aiōnios )
18 singakhangeli okubonwayo kodwa okungabonwayo; ngoba okubonwayo kungokwesikhathi; kodwa okungabonwayo ngokulaphakade. (aiōnios )
Kulwokubha chitakulola ingulu ye bhinu bhinu ebhibhonekana, nawe ingulu yebhinu bhinu bhitakubhonekana. Ebhinu bhinu echitula okulola ebhibhonekana nibhyomwanyala, nawe bhinu bhitakubhonekana nibhya kajanende. (aiōnios )
