2 Kwabasekhorinte 4
1 Ngakho-ke, lokhu silenkonzo le, njengoba senzelwa umusa, kasidinwa;
Bhai, a Nnungu kwa shiya shabho, bhashikutupa liengo lino, kwa nneyo tukawa ntima.
2 kodwa sizilahlile izinto ezifihliweyo zehlazo, singahambi ebuqilini, singaphambanisi ilizwi likaNkulunkulu, kodwa ngokwenza obala iqiniso siyazibuka kuso sonke isazela sabantu phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Tushileka indu yowe ya tokomaya na ya nng'iyo. Tukatama kabhili muunami, eu nkulipuganya lilobhe lya a Nnungu, ikabhe kwa lunguya ya kweli gwangali nng'iyo, tunakwaalanguyanga bhandunji bhamumanyanje mmitima jabhonji kuti tunatenda ibhapinga a Nnungu.
3 Kodwa uba futhi ivangeli lethu lembesiwe, lembesiwe kulabo ababhubhayo;
Pabha, monaga Ngani ja Mmbone jitulunguyaji jishikwiiya, bhai jishikwiiya ku bhaobhanga.
4 okubo unkulunkulu walelilizwe uphumputhekisile ingqondo zabangakholwayo, ukuze kungakhanyi kubo ukukhanya kwevangeli lenkazimulo kaKristu, ongumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu. (aiōn g165)
Bhalabhonji bhakaakulupalilanga pabha Lishetani, nnungu jwa shilambolyo ashikwaapuganyanga lunda lwabhonji bhanashibhonanje shilangaya sha Ngani ja Mmbone ja Ukonjelo gwa a Kilishitu, bhali malinga shibhali a Nnungu. (aiōn g165)
5 Ngoba kasizitshumayeli, kodwa uKristu Jesu iNkosi; njalo thina sizinceku zenu ngenxa kaJesu.
Pabha tukakwilunguya twaashayene, ikabhe bhutukwalunguya a Kilishitu kuti Bhakulungwa na uwe tubhatumishi bhenunji kwa ligongo lya a Kilishitu.
6 Ngoba uNkulunkulu owathi ukukhanya kukhanya kuvela ebumnyameni, ukhanyisile ezinhliziyweni zethu, ukupha ukukhanya kolwazi lwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ebusweni bukaJesu Kristu.
Pabha a Nnungu bhabhelekete, “Shilangaya shilangaye nnubhindu,” bhai bhenebho shibhalangaye mitima jetu, na kutupa shilangaya sha kuumanya ukonjelo gwa a Nnungu gulangaya kumeyo kwa a Kilishitu.
7 Kodwa silalo leligugu ezitsheni zebumba, ukuze ubuhlekazi bamandla bube ngobukaNkulunkulu, njalo bungaveli kithi;
Ikabheje, uwe tuli na shene shibhikosho, putuli mbuti indu ya lilongo ibhishilwe indu ya muntima, nkupinga imanyishe kuti mashili gamakulungwa ni ga a Nnungu na nngabha getu.
8 siyaminyezelwa inhlangothi zonke, kodwa kasibandezeleki; siyadideka, kodwa kasilahli ithemba;
Mobha gowe tunalaga, ikabheje tukaamaliywa. Tunakola lipamba, ikabheje tukawa ntima,
9 siyazingelwa, kodwa kasihlanyukwa; siwiselwa phansi, kodwa kasibhujiswa;
tunalaga, ikabheje tukalekwa gwangali jangutilwa. Nkali bhatugalabhuyanje pai tukaabhulagwa.
10 sihamba sithwele njalonjalo ukufa kweNkosi uJesu emzimbeni, ukuze lempilo kaJesu ibonakaliswe emzimbeni wethu.
Mobha gowe tunaowa na shiwo sha a Yeshu mwiilu yetu, nkupinga gumi gwabho gubhoneshe mwiilu yetu.
11 Ngoba thina esiphilayo sinikelwa njalonjalo ekufeni ngenxa kaJesu, ukuze lempilo kaJesu ibonakaliswe enyameni yethu efayo.
Elo, pututama pano shiwo shinakutukagula ligongo lya kwaakamulila liengo a Kilishitu, nkupinga gumi gwabho gubhoneshe mwiilu yetu yawa ino.
12 Ngakho ukufa kusebenza kithi, kodwa impilo kini.
Malombolelo gakwe ni kuti, uwe tukaajogopa nkali kuwa, nkupinga mmanganyanji mpatanje gumi gwa pitipiti.
13 Ngakho silalowomoya wokholo, njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Ngakholwa, ngakho ngakhuluma; lathi siyakholwa, ngakho lathi siyakhuluma;
Ishijandikwa Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo, “Nne ngulupalile, kwa nneyo ngunabheleketa.” Numbe uwe nneyo peyo, tubhaga na ntima gogo pego gwa ngulupai, tunakulupalila na kwa lyene ligongolyo tunabheleketa.
14 sisazi ukuthi lowo owayivusayo iNkosi uJesu uzasivusa lathi ngoJesu, asiveze kanye lani.
Tumumanyi kuti a Nnungu bhaayushiye Bhakulungwa a Yeshu bhala, shibhatuyuye na uwe pamo na a Yeshu na kutubhika pa makongono gabho, pamo na mmanganya.
15 Ngoba zonke izinto zingenxa yenu, ukuze umusa ovamileyo, ngokubonga kwabanengi, wengezelelwe kube ludumo lukaNkulunkulu.
Gowego ni kwa ligongo lyenunji, nkupinga nema ja a Nnungu pushijipunde ku bhandu bhabhagwinji, kutenda eja kupunde na a Nnungu bhakuywe.
16 Ngakho-ke kasidinwa, kodwa lanxa umuntu wethu wangaphandle ebhujiswa, kube kanti owangaphakathi wenziwa abe mutsha insuku ngensuku.
Kwa lyene ligongolyo tukawa ntima, nkali iilu yetu itutikaga, ikabhe mmitima jetu munabha mwaambi mobha gowe.
17 Ngoba inhlupheko yethu elula engeyomzuzwana iyasisebenzela isisindo sobukhosi esilaphakade esingelakulinganiswa isibili, (aiōnios g166)
Pabha shilaje shetu nngabha sha punda, numbe sha malanga gashokope, ikabheje shinakutupa ukonjelo gwa puya kaje gwa pitipiti guli gwa mmbone kupunda shilaje shino. (aiōnios g166)
