UJakhobe 3
1 Lingabi ngabafundisi abanengi, bazalwane bami, lisazi ukuthi sizakwemukela isigwebo esikhulu.
Mobanse bame, kamutafula mobeshikwiyisha, pakwinga tobeshikwiyisha nitukomboloshewe mwakutuyumina moyo kupita bantu nabambi.
2 Ngoba sonke siyakhubeka ezintweni ezinengi. Uba umuntu engakhubeki elizwini, lowo uyindoda epheleleyo, elamandla okukhina lomzimba wonke.
Twense tukute kwipisha mubintu bingi. Na mpwali utalisuntulu pakwamba, okwambeti uyo walulama, pakwinga wela kukonsha kwendelesha cena mubili wakendi wonse.
3 Khangela, sifaka amatomu emilonyeni yamabhiza ukuze asilalele, sibe sesiqondisa umzimba wonke wawo kwenye indlela.
Tukute kubika kela kang'anowa mukanwa mwa Lihaki kwambeti litunyumfwilenga kayi nekukonsha kututwala kulikonse nkotulayandanga kuya.
4 Khangela, lemikhumbi, lanxa imikhulu kangaka njalo iqhutshwa yimimoya elamandla, iyaqondiswa kwenye indlela ngephinyana nje, lapho isifiso somtshayeli esifuna khona.
Kayi kamubonani bwato, nambi nibunene kayi bukute kunyakwa ne mpepo, nsombi bukute kunyonwa nekatondo kakukwashusha, kwambeti bwenga kulikonse nkwalayandanga labwendeleshenga.
5 Lunjalo lolimi luyisitho esincinyane, kanti luzincoma kakhulu. Khangela, umlilo omncinyane uyatshisa izigodo ezingakanani!
Neco nicimocimo ne lulemi. Nikabela kang'ana, nsombi kakute kulitunta ne kwinsa bintu binene. Kayi kamubonani kukonempa kwa cisuwa, nsombi cikute kupya ne kamumuni kang'ana ka mulilo.
6 Ulimi lalo lungumlilo, umhlaba wobubi; lunjalo ulimi lubekwe phakathi kwezitho zethu, lungcolisa umzimba wonke, luthungele indlela yempilo, njalo luthungelwa yisihogo. (Geenna g1067)
Neco nalo lulemi lulyeti mulilo. Pakwinga luli mukati mumubili wetu, lukute kumwaya bintu byaipa mumubili wonse. Lukute kwipisha bwikalo bwa muntu. Lukute kutenta buyumi bwetu bonse kufuma mpotwalasemwa mpaka pakufwa, mulilowo ukute kufumina ku Gehena. (Geenna g1067)
7 Ngoba yonke imvelo yokubili izinyamazana lezinyoni, kokubili ezihuquzelayo lezidalwa zolwandle, iyathanjiswa njalo isithanjisiwe ngemvelo yabantu;
Muntu ngaucikonsha kusuwa banyama bamushobo uliwonse, nambi mushobo wabikeni, nambi mushobo wabishi kukalaba, nambi mushobo wa bintu byamumenshi pakwinga walabisuwapo.
8 kodwa ulimi kakulamuntu ongaluthambisa; luyibubi obungelakunqotshwa, lugcwele ubuhlungu obubulalayo.
Nsombi paliya muntu wela kukonsha kuwendelesha lulemi. Lulemi lwaipa, nkalusungwa, lwesula nebusungu.
9 Ngalo siyabonga uNkulunkulu ngitsho uBaba, langalo siqalekisa abantu abenziwe ngesimo sikaNkulunkulu;
Ne lulemi tukute kulumba Lesa Bameshetu, nomba kayi ne lulemi lopelolo tukute kushingana banetu mbwalabumba Lesa, abo bakoshana nendi.
10 emlonyeni munye kuyaphuma ukubonga lenhlamba. Lezizinto kazifanelanga, bazalwane bami, zenzeke njalo.
Pamulomo umoumo pakute kufuma kulumba, nekushingana. Mobanse bame, ibi kabitenshikanga.
11 Kambe umthombo emlonyeni munye ungagobhoza yini okumnandi lokubabayo?
Sena pamukalo umoumo ngapafuma menshi aina, kayi ne alula?
12 Kambe, bazalwane bami, umkhiwa ungathela imihlwathi yini, loba ivini umkhiwa? Ngokunjalo kakulamthombo oveza amanzi alitshwayi lamnandi.
Mobanse bame sena citondo ca mukuyu ingacisema bisepo bya mbula, nambi citondo camutumbi ngacikata nkuyu? Cimocimo mukalo wa menshi amucele nkela kupulisha menshi aina.
13 Ngubani ohlakaniphileyo loqedisisayo phakathi kwenu? Katshengise imisebenzi yakhe ekuziphatheni kuhle ngobumnene benhlakanipho.
Niyani ukute mano kayi ukute kunyumfwisha bintu? Aboneshe mikalilo yakendi yaina, nekwinsa bintu mwakulicepesha.
14 Kodwa uba lilomhawu obabayo lombango enhliziyweni yenu, lingazincomi liqambele amanga iqiniso.
Nomba mwakutenga moyo wamunyono ne wakulibona buntu, kamutalitunta pakutotekeshana necancine ncine pakwamba bwepeshi.
15 Lokhu kayisiyo inhlakanipho eyehla ivela phezulu, kodwa ingeyomhlaba, ngeyemvelo, eyamadimoni.
Mano alico ntewo akute kufuma kwilu sobwe, akute kufuma kubantu nekumishimu yaipa yapano pacishi capanshi.
16 Ngoba lapho okukhona umhawu lombango, lapho kukhona isiphithiphithi laso sonke isenzo esibi.
Pakwinga pali munyono, nekulibona buntu, pali minyungwe nencito yaipa yamushobo uliwonse.
17 Kodwa inhlakanipho evela phezulu eyokuqala ihlanzekile, emva kwalokho ibe lokuthula, ibe mnene, ilalele, igcwele isihawu lezithelo ezinhle, kayilakubandlulula futhi ingelakuzenzisa.
Nomba mano alafumunga kwilu, cakutanguna akute kuba alulama, alumuno, kayi akulicepesha, kayi eshikunyumfwa. Mano ankumbo, akute kusema bisepo byaina. Mano alico nkasalululu, nambi kulibonesha.
18 Lesithelo sokulunga sihlanyelwa ekuthuleni kulabo abenza ukuthula.
Neco mbuto shikute kubyalwa ne bantu mulumuno shikute kuleta bululami.
