1 Emva kwalokho sekwedlule iminyaka elitshumi lane ngenyukela futhi eJerusalema kanye loBarnabasi, ngathatha loTitosi futhi;
Nikwakinda myaka kkumi ayiine ndakabweda ku Jelusalema a Bbanabbasi, ndakabweza Tito alakwe.
2 ngasengisenyuka ngesambulelo, ngasengibalandisela ivangeli engilitshumayela phakathi kwabezizwe, kodwa ngasese kulabo ababelodumo, hlezi mhlawumbe ngigijimele kumbe ngagijimela ize.
Ndakinka nkambo kachiyubunuzyo akubapandulwida makani ngindakali kukambawuka akati kabamaasi. Ndakambula kunsiswa abalemekeka, kuti ndibe akanzambwenene kuti kuchijana - teendakachijana- chabuyo.
3 Kodwa ngitsho uTitosi owayelami, engumGriki, kacindezelwanga ukuthi asokwe;
Asi nekuba kuti Tito wakali andime awakali mu Giliki, bakasungilizya kupalulwa.
4 njalo ngenxa yabazalwane bamanga abangeniswa ngensitha, abangena ngokunyenya ukuze bahlole ukukhululeka kwethu esilakho kuKristu Jesu, ukuze basenze izigqili;
Bakwesu babeji bakaza munsiswa kuzolingula lwangunuko ndutulalo muli Kkilisito Jesu. Bakali kuyanda kutuchita bazike.
5 esingabathobelanga ngokuzehlisa ngitsho okwehola, ukuze iqiniso levangeli lime njalo kini.
Pesi tetwaka zumina kulibombya kulimbabo muchiindi chinini, kuchitila kuti simpe lyamakani mabotu likkalilile mulindinywe.
6 Kodwa kulabo okuthiwa bayilutho (loba babeyini kakutsho lutho kimi; uNkulunkulu kemukeli isimo somuntu) ngoba labo ababedunyisiwe kabangelekelelanga ngalutho;
Asikulabo balikulangila kulemekwa ( kufumbwa mbubakabede takwe nichamba chintu kulindime, Leza talangilili chiimo) -abo, ndati, abo bakalikulangika nkabalemekeka tabayungizizye chintu kulindime.
7 kodwa kokuphambeneyo, bebona ukuthi ngaphiwa ivangeli lokungasoki, njengoPetro elokusoka,
Musiyano, bakazobona kuti ndakapegwa makani mabotu kulabo batapalwidwe, mbokunga Pita wakapegwa makani mabotu kulaabo bapalwidwe.
8 ngoba owenza ngamandla kuPetro kubuphostoli bokusoka, wenza ngamandla lakimi kwabezizwe,
Nkambo Leza, wakabeleka kuli Pita kubutumwa kulibabo bapalwidwe, wakabeleka kulindime kulibamaasi.
9 bathi besazi umusa engiwuphiweyo, oJakobe loKefasi loJohane, abadume bezinsika, banika mina loBarnabasi isandla sokunene sobudlelwano, ukuze thina siye kwabezizwe, bona-ke ekusokweni;
Awo Jemusi, Kkefasi a Joni, abo bakali minsemu, bakabona luzyalo ndundakapegwa, bakamuzuminina Bbanabbasi ambebo. Bakatuzuminina kuti twiinke kuli bamaasi ambabo bayekulabo bapallwidwe.
10 kuphela ukuze sikhumbule abayanga, into le lami engangikhuthalele ukuyenza.
Bakakumbila kutituyeeye bachete, nchintu nchindakalibambilide kuchita.
11 Kodwa kwathi uPetro efika eAntiyoki, ngamelana laye ebusweni, ngoba wayefanele asolwe.
Asi Kafasi nakasika ku Antiyoki, ndakamukazya kumeso akwe nkambo wakalijana kalamulandu.
12 Ngoba bengakafiki abathile abavela kuJakobe, wayesidla labezizwe; kodwa kuthe sebefikile, wamonyuka wazehlukanisa, esesaba abokusoka.
Nkabatanasika balumi bakazwide kuli Jemusi, Kkefasi wakali abamaasi. Pesi nibakasika balum, wakaleka wakalisosolosya kulibamaasi. Wakayoowa abobakali kuyandisisya bupalule.
13 Lamanye futhi amaJuda azenzisa kanye laye, kwaze kwathi loBarnabasi wathatheka ngokuzenzisa kwawo.
Abobo boonse bamaJuda bakanjilana awe mukuwupawupa. Nikuba Bbanabbasi wakapambuka abo mukuwupawupa kwabo.
14 Kodwa kuthe sengibonile ukuthi kabahambi ngokuqonda eqinisweni levangeli, ngathi kuPetro phambi kwabo bonke: Uba wena ungumJuda, uphila ngokwabezizwe njalo kungeyisikho ngokwamaJuda, ubacindezelelani abezizwe ukuthi baphile ngokwamaJuda?
Pesi nindakababona kuti kuchita kwabo takuli kwakutobela simpe lyamakani mabotu pe, Ndakati kuli Kkefasi kunembo lyabo boonse, “Kuti nkoli mu Juda nkoli kupona mbuli muJuda, ulalangila biyeni bamaasi kuti bapone mbuli bama Juda?”
15 Thina singamaJuda ngemvelo, njalo kasisizo izoni ezivela kwabezizwe,
Iswetubeni tuli maJuda mukuzyalwa pepe bamaasi basizibi,
16 sisazi ukuthi umuntu kalungisiswa ngemisebenzi yomlayo, kodwa ngokholo lukaJesu Kristu, lathi sakholwa kuKristu Jesu, ukuze silungisiswe ngokholo lukaKristu, njalo kungeyisikho ngemisebenzi yomlayo; ngoba ngemisebenzi yomlayo kakuyikulungisiswa nyama.
Eno tulizi kuti takwe muntu ululamikwa amilimu yamulawu pesi kulusyomo muli Kkilisito Jesu. Iswe twakasyoma muli Kkilisito Jesu ikuti tululamikwe a lusyomo muli Kkilisito kutali kwamilimo yamulawu. Kumilimo yamulawu takwe nyama iyolulamikwa.
17 Kodwa uba thina, esidinga ukulungisiswa kuKristu, lathi uqobo sificwe siyizoni, ngakho uKristu uyisisebenzi sesono yini? Phinde!
Pesikuti twayanda kululamikwa muli Kkilisito, iswebo tuyojanwa nkatuli basizibi, lino Kkilisito mubelesi wabasizibi?
18 Ngoba uba ngibuye ngakhe izinto engizidilizileyo, ngitshengisa ukuthi ngingophambekayo.
Kuti nkelikuyakulula zintu nzindaka mwayide, ndili tondezya kuti ndichili sikutyola mulawu.
19 Ngoba ngomlayo mina ngafa kuwo umlayo, ukuze ngiphile kuNkulunkulu.
Kambo kwinda kumulawo ndakafwa kumulawo, kuti ndiponene Leza
20 Ngibethelwe kanye loKristu, kodwa ngiyaphila; kakuseyimi-ke, kodwa uKristu uphila kimi; kodwa lokhu engikuphila khathesi enyameni ngikuphila ekholweni lweNdodana kaNkulunkulu eyangithandayo njalo yazinikelela mina.
Ndakabambulwa antomwe a Kkilisito, Takucheensi ndime upona, asikuti Kkilisito ngupona mulindime. Ibuumi lino mbwendipona munyama ndapona mulusyomo mumwana a Leza, Oyo wakandiyanda wakapelida kambo kangu.
21 Kangiwutshayi ize umusa kaNkulunkulu; ngoba uba ukulunga kusiya ngomlayo, ngakho uKristu wafela ize.
Nsibikide kumbali luzyalo lwa Leza, ikuti bululami bwalikujanwa kwinda mumuulo, unoli Kkilisito wakafwida chabuyo!
