1 Umdala kunkosikazi ekhethiweyo lakubantwana bayo, mina engibathanda ngeqiniso, njalo kungeyisimi ngedwa kodwa labo bonke asebelazi iqiniso,
Inyarubha inu eisoka kumukaruka na eigenda kumugasi omusolwa na abhana bhaye, ahhana babho enibhenda muchimali na atali anye ela, tali na bhona bhanu bhamenyele echimali,
okwingana ne echimali chinu chili munda yeswe na chinu chilikala neswe akajanende. (aiōn g165)
3 Kakube lani umusa, isihawu, ukuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uYise, leNkosini uJesu Kristu iNdodana kaBaba, eqinisweni lethandweni.
Echigongo, ne echisa no omulembe bhilibha amwi neswe okusoka ku lata Nyamuangana ku Yesu Kristo Omwana wa Lata, muchimali na mukwenda.
4 Ngathokoza kakhulukazi ukuthi ngithole ebantwaneni bakho abahamba eqinisweni, njengoba semukela umlayo kuYise.
Enikondelelwa muno kutiya, namenya ati abhana abhandi bhalamile muchimali, lwakutyo chalamiye echilagilo chinu okusoka ku Lata.
5 Khathesi-ke ngiyakuncenga, nkosikazi, kungenjengokuthi ngikubhalela umlayo omutsha, kodwa lowo esasilawo kusukela ekuqaleni, ukuze sithandane.
Mbe naoli enikusabhwa awe mayi, nitali ati enikwandikila echilagilo chiyaya, tali ni ilya chaliga chilinayo okusokelela kubhwambilo, lwa kutyo jichiile okwendana eswe abhene. Na bhunu nimwo obhwenji, bhunu bhuchiile kulama nabhwo, okwingana ne echilagilo chae.
6 Njalo yilolu uthando, ukuthi sihambe ngokwemilayo yakhe. Yilo umlayo, njengoba lezwa kusukela ekuqaleni, ukuthi lihambe kiwo.
Chinu nicho echilagilo lwakutyo mwayunguhwe okusoka kubhwambilo, lwa kutyo jibheile kulama mucilagilo echo.
7 Ngoba abakhohlisi abanengi sebengene emhlabeni abangavumiyo ukuthi uJesu Kristu weza enyameni. Lo ngumkhohlisi lomphikuKristu.
Kulwokubha abhajigi bhafu bhasambalile muchalo, na bhatakwikilisha ati Yesu ejile ali mwana munu. Mbe oyo atakwikilisha kutyo niwe omujigi naunu kalema Kristo.
8 Ziqapheleni ukuze singalahlekelwa yizinto esesizisebenzile, kodwa semukele umvuzo opheleleyo.
Mbe mwimenye abhene ati mwasiga okubhusha amagambo ganu chamalile okusombola, nawe koleleki mulamile echiyanwa chingene.
9 Wonke oweqayo njalo ongahlali emfundisweni kaKristu, kalaNkulunkulu; ohlala emfundisweni kaKristu, lowo ulabo bobabili uYise leNdodana.
Omunu wonawona kagendelela okuja imbele atagwatiliye eliigisho lya Kristo, atali na Nyamuanga. Oyo agwatiliye eliigisho ali na Nyamuanga no Omwana waye.
10 Uba kufika umuntu kini, njalo engalethi le imfundiso, lingamemukeli endlini, futhi lingambingeleli;
Labha omunu naja kwimwe atejile ne eliigisholinu, mwasiga okumukumilila munyumba jeswe na mawasiga okumukesha.
11 ngoba lowo ombingelelayo, uhlanganyela lemisebenzi yakhe emibi.
Kulwokubha unu kamukesha kasasikana mubhikolwa bhaye ebhibhibhi.
12 Ngilezinto ezinengi zokulibhalela, kangithandanga ukubhala ngephepha leyinki; kodwa ngithemba ukuza kini, ngikhulume lani umlomo ngomlomo, ukuze intokozo yethu igcwale.
Nili na amagambo mafu ago kukwandikila, na nitendele okugandika kulupapura no obhwino. Nawe eniikanya ukubhakingako nilome imbele yemwe, koleleki likondelwa lyemwe likumile.
