UJakhobe 1
1 UJakobe, inceku kaNkulunkulu leyeNkosi uJesu Kristu, kuzo izizwe ezilitshumi lambili ezisekuhlakazekeni, ngiyabingelela.
ⲁ̅ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲡϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅ ⲉϥⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲙ̅ⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲁⲥⲡⲟⲣⲁ. ⲭⲁⲓⲣⲉⲧⲉ.
2 Kubaleni ukuthi kuyintokozo yonke, bazalwane bami, nxa liwela ezilingweni ezizinhlobonhlobo,
ⲃ̅ⲟⲡϥ̅ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲣⲁϣⲉ. ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲃⲉ.
3 lisazi ukuthi ukuhlolwa kokholo lwenu kuveza ukubekezela;
ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲧⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ.
4 kodwa ukubekezela kakube lomsebenzi opheleleyo, ukuze libe ngabapheleleyo liphelelisiwe, lingasileli ngalutho.
ⲇ̅ⲑⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲗⲉⲓⲟⲛ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲗⲉⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁⲁⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ.
5 Njalo uba kukhona kini oswele inhlakanipho, kacele kuNkulunkulu ophanayo ngesihle kubo bonke, futhi engasoli, njalo uzayinikwa.
ⲉ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϣⲁⲁⲧ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ. ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲉⲧϯ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲁⲡⲗⲱⲥ. ⲉⲛϥⲛⲟϭⲛⲉϭ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁϯ ⲛⲁϥ.
6 Kodwa kacele ekholweni engathandabuzi ngalutho; ngoba othandabuzayo unjengegagasi lolwandle eliqhutshwa ngumoya lizuliswe.
ⲋ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲛϥⲇⲓⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ. ⲡⲉⲧⲇⲓⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲉⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ. ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲧⲏⲩ ⲣⲱϩⲧ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥϣⲱⲱϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
7 Ngoba lowomuntu kangacabangi ukuthi uzazuza ulutho eNkosini.
ⲍ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉϥⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁϫⲓⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
8 Indoda enhliziyombili iyaphenduphenduka endleleni zayo zonke.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ϥϣⲧⲣ̅ⲧⲱⲣ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲓⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
9 Lomzalwane ophansi kazincome ekuphakameni kwakhe;
ⲑ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲏⲩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϫⲓⲥⲉ.
10 kodwa onothileyo ekuthotshisweni kwakhe; ngoba njengeluba lotshani uzadlula.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲟ. ϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲭⲟⲣⲧⲟⲥ.
11 Ngoba ilanga liphuma lilokutshisa, libunise utshani, leluba labo liwohloke, lobuhle bokubonakala kwalo bunyamalale; ngokunjalo lesinothi sizanyamalala ezindleleni zaso.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥϣⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲣⲏ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲕⲁⲩⲙⲁ. ⲁϥⲧⲣⲉⲡⲉⲭⲟⲣⲧⲟⲥ ϣⲟⲟⲩⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉϥϩⲣⲏⲣⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲣⲟϥⲣϥ̅. ⲡⲥⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϩⲟ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ. ⲧⲁⲓ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲉϥⲛⲁϩⲱϭⲃ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲓⲟⲟⲩⲉ.
12 Ubusisiwe umuntu obekezelela isilingo; ngoba esehloliwe uzakwemukela umqhele wempilo, iNkosi eyawuthembisa kwabayithandayo.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲓⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϥⲓ ϩⲁⲟⲩⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅. ϥⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
13 Kakulamuntu olingwayo omele athi: Ngilingwa nguNkulunkulu; ngoba uNkulunkulu kalasilingo sokubi, laye uqobo kalingi muntu.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲉϥⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ. ⲙⲉϥⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ.
14 Kodwa ngulowo lalowo uyalingwa, lapho eyengwa ngezakhe inkanuko, ehugwa;
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲩⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲕ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲉⲩⲁⲡⲁⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
15 kuthi lapho inkanuko isikhulelwe ibelethe isono; lesono lapho sesiphelele sizala ukufa.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲓⲧⲁ ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲉⲁⲥⲱ ϣⲁⲥϫⲡⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲁϥϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁϥⲙⲓⲥⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ.
16 Lingakhohliswa, bazalwane bami abathandekayo.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ. ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ.
17 Sonke isipho esihle laso sonke isipho esipheleleyo sivela phezulu, sehla sivela kuYise wezibane, okungekho kuye ukuguquka, kumbe isithunzi sokuphenduka.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϯ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲇⲱⲣⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ ⲡⲉ. ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲓⲃⲉⲥ ⲏ ϣⲓⲃⲉ ⲏ ⲣⲓⲕⲉ ϩⲁϩⲧⲏϥ.
18 Ngokuthanda kwakhe wasizala ngelizwi leqiniso, ukuze sibe njengezithelo zokuqala zezidalwa zakhe.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁϥϫⲡⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲁⲡⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅.
19 Ngakho, bazalwane bami abathandekayo, wonke umuntu umele aphangise ukuzwa, aphuze ukukhuluma, aphuze ukuthukuthela;
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲇⲉ. ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ. ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϥϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉϥⲱⲥⲕ̅ ⲉϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉϥϩⲟⲣϣ̅ ⲉⲛⲟⲩϭⲥ̅.
20 ngoba ukuthukuthela kwendoda kakwenzi ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu.
ⲕ̅ⲧⲟⲣⲅⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲉⲥⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
21 Ngakho selihlubule amanyala wonke lokwanda kakhulu kobubi, lemukele ngobumnene ilizwi eligxunyekiweyo, elilamandla okusindisa imiphefumulo yenu.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲗⲙ̅ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲕⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲣⲁϣ ϣⲱⲡ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ. ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲯⲩⲭⲏ.
22 Kodwa banini ngabenzi belizwi, lingabi ngabezwayo kuphela, lizikhohlisa lina ngokwenu.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅.
23 Ngoba uba umuntu engumuzwi welizwi futhi engesimenzi, yena ufanana lendoda ebuka ubuso bayo bemvelo esibukweni;
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ϫⲉ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲩⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲡⲉ. ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲣⲉϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉϥⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲛ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡϩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩϫⲡⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲁⲗ.
24 ngoba iyazibuka, ibisisuka, ibisihle ikhohlwa ukuthi ibinjani.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲣ̅ⲡⲱⲃϣ̅ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ.
25 Kodwa lowo okhangelisisa emlayweni opheleleyo, lowo owenkululeko, abesebambelela kuwo, yena engesimuzwi okhohlwayo kodwa engumenzi womsebenzi, lo uzakuba ngobusisiweyo ekwenzeni kwakhe.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ϩⲉ. ⲁϥϭⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲁⲛ. ⲁϥⲣ̅ⲡⲱⲃϣ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲱⲃ. ⲡⲁⲓ ϥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲉⲓⲁⲧϥ̅ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϩⲱⲃ.
26 Uba umuntu phakathi kwenu esithi uyakholwa, uba engalufaki itomu ulimi lwakhe, kodwa akhohlise inhliziyo yakhe, ukukholwa kwalowo kuyize.

27 Ukukholwa okuhlanzekileyo lokungangcoliswanga phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngitsho uBaba yilokhu, ukuhambela izintandane labafelokazi ekuhluphekeni kwabo, lokuzilondoloza engelasici kokomhlaba.
