UJakhobe 2
1 Bazalwane bami, kungeyisikho ngokubandlulula abantu libe lokholo lweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, iNkosi yenkazimulo.
Hama dzangu, kwete nerusarura muve nerutendo rwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu wekubwinya.
2 Ngoba uba kungena emhlanganweni wenu indoda elendandatho yegolide lesembatho esikhazimulayo, besekungena longumyanga olesembatho esingcolileyo,
Nokuti kana muungano yenyu mukapinda murume ane mhete yegoridhe nenguvo inopenya, mukapindawo murombo ane nguvo yakasviba,
3 beselinanzelela ogqoke isembatho esikhazimulayo beselisithi kuye: Wena hlala lapha kuhle; beselisithi kongumyanga: Wena mana lapho, loba: Hlala lapha ngaphansi kwesenabelo senyawo zami;
imwi ndokutarira uyo wakapfeka nguvo inopenya; ndokuti kwaari: Iwe gara pano zvakanaka; ndokuti kumurombo: Iwe mira ipapo; kana: Gara pano pasi pechitsiko chetsoka dzangu;
4 pho, kalibandlululi phakathi kwenu, njalo laba ngabahluleli abalemicabango emibi yini?
hamunawo kusarura mukati menyu pachenyu mukavawo vatongi vendangariro dzakaipa here?
5 Zwanini, bazalwane bami abathandekayo. UNkulunkulu kabakhethanga yini abayanga balumhlaba, benothile ekholweni, njalo bezindlalifa zombuso awuthembisayo kwabamthandayo?
Inzwai, hama dzangu dzinodikanwa. Mwari haana here kusarudza varombo venyika ino, vakafuma parutendo, nevadyi venhaka yeushe hwaakavimbisa kune vanomuda?
6 Kodwa lina libadumazile abayanga. Abanothileyo kabalicindezeli yini, njalo akusibo yini abalidonsela ekwahlulelweni?
Asi imwi makazvidza murombo. Vafumi havakutsikiririi here, uye ndivo vanokukweverai kumatare?
7 Bona kabalihlambazi yini ibizo elihle elibizwa ngalo?
Ivo havanyombi zita rakanaka rakadanwa pamuri here?
8 Uba liphelelisa umlayo wobukhosi, ngokombhaloothi: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena, lenza kuhle;
Kana zvirokwazvo muchizadzisa murairo weushe, zvinoenderana nerugwaro rwunoti: Ida wekwako sezvaunozvidaiwe, munoita zvakanaka;
9 kodwa uba libandlulula abantu, lenza isono, lilahlwa ngumlayo njengabaweqayo.
asi kana mune rusarura, munoita chivi, munopwiswa nemurairo sevadariki.
10 Ngoba loba ngubani ogcina umlayo wonke, kodwa akhubeke kokukodwa, uba lecala kuyo yonke.
Nokuti ani nani anochengeta murairo wese, asi akagumburwa pane umwe, anova nemhosva kune yese.
11 Ngoba owathi: Ungafebi; wathi futhi: Ungabulali; uba-ke ungafebi, kodwa ubulala, usungumeqi womlayo.
Nokuti iye wakati: Usaita upombwe; wakatiwo: Usauraya; zvino kana usingaiti upombwe, asi uchiuraya, wava mudariki wemurairo.
12 Khulumani ngokunjalo lenze njalo, njengabazakwahlulelwa ngomlayo wenkululeko.
Taurai saizvozvo uye itai saizvozvo, sevachazotongwa nemurairo werusununguko.
13 Ngoba ukwahlulelwa okungelasihawu kungokwalowo ongenzanga isihawu; njalo isihawu sizincoma kukho ukwahlulela.
Nokuti kutonga kusina tsitsi ndekweasina kuita tsitsi; uye tsitsi dzinozvirumbidza pakukutonga.
14 Kusizani, bazalwane bami, uba umuntu esithi ulokholo, kodwa engelamisebenzi? Lolokholo lungamsindisa yini?
Zvinobatsirei, hama dzangu, kana munhu achiti ane rutendo, asi asina mabasa? Rutendo urwu rwunogona kumuponesa here?
15 Uba-ke umzalwane loba umzalwanekazi behambaze njalo beswela ukudla kwensuku ngensuku,
Zvino kana hamarume kana hamakadzi yakashama uye achishaiwa kudya kwezuva rimwe nerimwe,
16 omunye wenu abesesithi kubo: Hambani ngokuthula, likhudumale lisuthe; kodwa lingabaniki izinto ezidingwa ngumzimba, lokho kusizani?
umwe wenyu ndokuti kwavari: Ibvai murugare, mudziyirwe uye mugute; asi musingavapi zvinhu zvinodikanwa nemuviri, izvo zvinobatsirei?
17 Kunjalo lokholo, uba lungelamisebenzi, lufile ngokwalo.
Saizvozvowo rutendo, kana rwusina mabasa, rwakafa pacharwo.
18 Kodwa omunye uzakuthi: Wena ulokholo, mina-ke ngilemisebenzi; ngitshengisa ukholo lwakho ngaphandle kwemisebenzi yakho, lami emisebenzini yami ngizakutshengisa ukholo lwami.
Asi umwe achati: Iwe une rutendo, neni ndine mabasa; ndiratidze rutendo rwako kunze kwemabasa, neni pamabasa angu ndichakuratidza rutendo rwangu.
19 Wena uyakholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu munye; wenza kuhle; lamadimoni ayakholwa, njalo athuthumele.
Iwe unotenda kuti kuna Mwari umwe; unoita zvakanaka; nemadhimoni anotenda uye anodedera.
20 Kodwa uyathanda ukwazi yini, O siphukuphuku, ukuthi ukholo olungelamisebenzi lufile?
Asi unoda kuziva here, haiwa dununu, kuti rutendo rwusina mabasa rwakafa?
21 UAbrahama ubaba wethu kalungisiswanga yini ngemisebenzi, esenikele indodana yakhe uIsaka phezu kwelathi?
Abhurahama baba vedu havana kunzi vakarurama kubva pamabasa here, vabaira mwanakomana wavo Isaka pamusoro pearitari?
22 Uyabona ukuthi ukholo lwalusebenza kanye lemisebenzi yakhe, lokuthi ukholo lwapheleliswa ngemisebenzi,
Unoona kuti rutendo rwakabata pamwe nemabasa ake, uye kubva pamabasa rutendo rwakaperedzerwa here?
23 kwasekugcwaliswa umbhalo othi: LoAbrahama wakholwa uNkulunkulu, kwasekubalelwa kuye ukuthi kuyikulunga, wasebizwa ngokuthi ngumngane kaNkulunkulu.
Nerugwaro rukazadzisika rwunoti: NaAbhurahama wakatenda kuna Mwari, zvikaverengerwawo kwaari kuti ndiko kururama, akanziwo shamwari yaMwari.
24 Ngakho-ke liyabona ukuthi umuntu uyalungisiswa ngemisebenzi, futhi kungesikuthi ngokholo kuphela.
Naizvozvo munoona kuti munhu anonzi wakarurama kubva pamabasa, uye kwete kubva parutendo chete.
25 Ngokunjalo-ke loRahabi isifebe kalungisiswanga ngemisebenzi yini, esezemukele izithunywa, eseziphumise ngenye indlela?
Saizvozvowo naRakabhi chifeve haana kunzi wakarurama kubva pamabasa here, agamuchira vatumwa, nekuvabudisa neimwe nzira?
26 Ngoba njengalokhu umzimba ngaphandle komoya ufile, ngokunjalo lokholo ngaphandle kwemisebenzi lufile.
Nokuti semuviri pasina mweya wakafa, saizvozvowo rutendo rwusina mabasa rwakafa.
