1 UJakobe, inceku kaNkulunkulu leyeNkosi uJesu Kristu, kuzo izizwe ezilitshumi lambili ezisekuhlakazekeni, ngiyabingelela.
Jakobho, muranda waMwari newaIshe Jesu Kristu, kumarudzi gumi nemaviri ari mukupararira: Kwaziwai.
2 Kubaleni ukuthi kuyintokozo yonke, bazalwane bami, nxa liwela ezilingweni ezizinhlobonhlobo,
Zvitorei semufaro wese, hama dzangu, kana muchiwira mumiedzo yakasiyana-siyana,
3 lisazi ukuthi ukuhlolwa kokholo lwenu kuveza ukubekezela;
muchiziva kuti kuedzwa kwerutendo rwenyu kunobudisa kutsungirira;
4 kodwa ukubekezela kakube lomsebenzi opheleleyo, ukuze libe ngabapheleleyo liphelelisiwe, lingasileli ngalutho.
asi kutsungirira ngakuve nebasa rakapedzeredzwa, kuti muve vakapedzeredzwa nekukwana, musingatairi pachinhu.
5 Njalo uba kukhona kini oswele inhlakanipho, kacele kuNkulunkulu ophanayo ngesihle kubo bonke, futhi engasoli, njalo uzayinikwa.
Uye kana umwe wenyu achishaiwa uchenjeri, ngaakumbire kuna Mwari, anopavhurira vese, uye asingatuki, zvino achadzipiwa.
6 Kodwa kacele ekholweni engathandabuzi ngalutho; ngoba othandabuzayo unjengegagasi lolwandle eliqhutshwa ngumoya lizuliswe.
Asi ngaakumbire murutendo, asiri asina chokwadi nechinhu; nokuti asina chokwadi wakaita sefungu regungwa rinosundwa nemhepo richidzungaidzwa.
7 Ngoba lowomuntu kangacabangi ukuthi uzazuza ulutho eNkosini.
Nokuti munhu uyu ngaarege kufunga kuti achagamuchira chinhu kuna Ishe.
8 Indoda enhliziyombili iyaphenduphenduka endleleni zayo zonke.
Murume ane moyo miviri anoshanduka-shanduka panzira dzake dzese.
9 Lomzalwane ophansi kazincome ekuphakameni kwakhe;
Asi hama yakaderera ngaizvikudze pakukudzwa kwake;
10 kodwa onothileyo ekuthotshisweni kwakhe; ngoba njengeluba lotshani uzadlula.
nemufumi pakuderedzwa kwake; nokuti seruva reuswa achapfuura.
11 Ngoba ilanga liphuma lilokutshisa, libunise utshani, leluba labo liwohloke, lobuhle bokubonakala kwalo bunyamalale; ngokunjalo lesinothi sizanyamalala ezindleleni zaso.
Nokuti zuva rinobuda pamwe nekupisa, ndokuomesa uswa, neruva rahwo rinowira pasi, nekunaka kwechimiro chahwo kwakaparara; saizvozvowo mufumi achabvuruvara panzira dzake.
12 Ubusisiwe umuntu obekezelela isilingo; ngoba esehloliwe uzakwemukela umqhele wempilo, iNkosi eyawuthembisa kwabayithandayo.
Wakaropafadzwa munhu anotsungirira pamuedzo; nokuti kana atendwa, achagamuchira korona yeupenyu, Ishe yaakavimbisa kune vanomuda.
13 Kakulamuntu olingwayo omele athi: Ngilingwa nguNkulunkulu; ngoba uNkulunkulu kalasilingo sokubi, laye uqobo kalingi muntu.
Kusava nemunhu anoti achiidzwa ati: Ndinoidzwa naMwari; nokuti Mwari haagoni kuedzwa nechakaipa, naiye amene haaidzi munhu.
14 Kodwa ngulowo lalowo uyalingwa, lapho eyengwa ngezakhe inkanuko, ehugwa;
Asi umwe neumwe anoidzwa, kana achikwehwa nekuchiva kwake pachake, nekukwezwa.
15 kuthi lapho inkanuko isikhulelwe ibelethe isono; lesono lapho sesiphelele sizala ukufa.
Ipapo kuchiva kana kwarema kunozvara chivi; nechivi kana chaperedzerwa, chinobereka rufu.
16 Lingakhohliswa, bazalwane bami abathandekayo.
Musanyengerwa, hama dzangu dzinodikanwa.
17 Sonke isipho esihle laso sonke isipho esipheleleyo sivela phezulu, sehla sivela kuYise wezibane, okungekho kuye ukuguquka, kumbe isithunzi sokuphenduka.
Chipo chese chakanaka nechipiwa chese chakaperedzerwa chinobva kumusoro, chichiburuka kubva kuna Baba vezviedza, navo pasina kupinduka, kana mumvuri wekushanduka.
18 Ngokuthanda kwakhe wasizala ngelizwi leqiniso, ukuze sibe njengezithelo zokuqala zezidalwa zakhe.
Nekuda kwake wakabereka isu neshoko rechokwadi, kuti isu tive sechibereko chekutanga chezvisikwa zvake.
19 Ngakho, bazalwane bami abathandekayo, wonke umuntu umele aphangise ukuzwa, aphuze ukukhuluma, aphuze ukuthukuthela;
Naizvozvo, hama dzangu dzinodiwa, munhu umwe neumwe ngaave anokurumidza pakunzwa, anononoka pakutaura, anononoka pakutsamwa;
20 ngoba ukuthukuthela kwendoda kakwenzi ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu.
nokuti kutsamwa kwemunhu hakuiti kururama kwaMwari.
21 Ngakho selihlubule amanyala wonke lokwanda kakhulu kobubi, lemukele ngobumnene ilizwi eligxunyekiweyo, elilamandla okusindisa imiphefumulo yenu.
Naizvozvo bvisai zvinyangadzo zvese nekuwandisa kwekuipa, mugamuchire nemoyo munyoro shoko rakabatanidzwa pamuri, rinogona kuponesa mweya yenyu.
22 Kodwa banini ngabenzi belizwi, lingabi ngabezwayo kuphela, lizikhohlisa lina ngokwenu.
Asi ivai vaiti veshoko, uye kwete vanzwi chete, muchizvinyengera pachenyu.
23 Ngoba uba umuntu engumuzwi welizwi futhi engesimenzi, yena ufanana lendoda ebuka ubuso bayo bemvelo esibukweni;
Nokuti kana umwe ari munzwi weshoko uye asiri muiti, iye wakafanana nemunhu anoona chiso chake chechisikirwo muchionioni;
24 ngoba iyazibuka, ibisisuka, ibisihle ikhohlwa ukuthi ibinjani.
nokuti anozviona pachake, ndokuenda, ndokukanganwa pakarepo kuti wanga akadini.
25 Kodwa lowo okhangelisisa emlayweni opheleleyo, lowo owenkululeko, abesebambelela kuwo, yena engesimuzwi okhohlwayo kodwa engumenzi womsebenzi, lo uzakuba ngobusisiweyo ekwenzeni kwakhe.
Asi uyo anotarisisa mumurairo wakaperedzerwa werusununguko ndokurambirirapo, uyo asati ari munzwi anokanganwa asi muiti webasa, uyu acharopafadzwa pakuita kwake.
26 Uba umuntu phakathi kwenu esithi uyakholwa, uba engalufaki itomu ulimi lwakhe, kodwa akhohlise inhliziyo yakhe, ukukholwa kwalowo kuyize.
Kana umwe pakati penyu achiti anotenda, kana asingadzori rurimi rwake, asi achinyengera moyo wake, chitendero cheuyu hachina maturo.
27 Ukukholwa okuhlanzekileyo lokungangcoliswanga phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngitsho uBaba yilokhu, ukuhambela izintandane labafelokazi ekuhluphekeni kwabo, lokuzilondoloza engelasici kokomhlaba.
Chitendero chakachena chisina kusvibiswa pamberi paMwari naBaba ndechichi: Kufambira nherera nechirikadzi pakutambudzika kwavo, azvichengete asina gwapa kubva kunyika.
