< KwabaseRoma 12 >

1 Ngakho, bazalwane, ngiyalincenga ukuthi, ngezihawu zikaNkulunkulu, linikele imizimba yenu ibe ngumhlatshelo ophilileyo, ongcwele, owemukelekayo kuNkulunkulu, kube yinkonzo yenu yokuqedisisa.
Naizvozvo ndinokukumbirisai, hama, netsitsi dzaMwari, mupire miviri yenyu, chive chibairo chipenyu, chitsvene, chinogamuchirika kuna Mwari, ndiko kunamata kwenyu kunonzwisisika.
2 Njalo lingalingisi lumhlaba, kodwa liguqulwe ngokwenziwa zibentsha ingqondo zenu, ukuze lihlolisise okuyintando kaNkulunkulu elungileyo leyemukelekayo lepheleleyo. (aiōn g165)
Uye musazvifananidza nenyika ino, asi mushandurwe nekuvandudzwa kwefungwa yenyu, kuti muidze chiri chido chaMwari chakanaka uye chinogamuchirika uye chakazara. (aiōn g165)
3 Ngoba ngomusa engiwuphiweyo, ngithi kuye wonke ophakathi kwenu ukuthi angacabangi ukuthi mkhulu kulalokho afanele ukukucabanga, kodwa acabange ngokuqonda, njengalokhu uNkulunkulu abele ngulowo lalowo isilinganiso sokholo.
Nokuti ndinoti, nenyasha dzakapiwa kwandiri, kune umwe neumwe ari pakati penyu, arege kuzvifunga kuti mukuru kupfuura paanofanira kufunga napo; asi afunge neuchenjeri, Mwari sezvaakagovera umwe neumwe chiyero cherutendo.
4 Ngoba njengoba silezitho ezinengi emzimbeni munye, kodwa izitho zonke kazilamsebenzi ofananayo;
Nokuti sezvatine mitezo mizhinji pamuviri umwe, asi mitezo yese haina basa rakafanana;
5 kunjalo thina esibanengi singumzimba munye kuKristu, njalo ngabanye siyizitho omunye komunye.
saizvozvo tiri vazhinji, tiri muviri umwe muna Kristu, uye umwe neumwe tiri mitezo weumwe kune umwe.
6 Njalo silezipho ezehlukeneyo ngokomusa esiwuphiweyo; zingaba yikuprofetha, asiprofethe ngokwesilinganiso sokholo;
Uye tine zvipo zvakasiyana maererano nenyasha dzinopiwa kwatiri; kungava kuporofita, ngatiporofite nechiyero cherutendo;
7 kumbe yikukhonza, asisebenze enkonzweni; kumbe ofundisayo, ekufundiseni;
kana ushumiri, ngatishande paushumiri; kana anodzidzisa, pakudzidzisa;
8 kumbe olayayo, ekulayeni; ophanayo, kanike ngobuqotho; obusayo, ngokukhuthala; olesihawu, ngentokozo.
kana anoraira, pakuraira; anopa, ngaape nemoyo wese; anotonga, ngaatonge nekushingaira; anoitira tsitsi, nemufaro.
9 Uthandokalube qotho. Yenyanyani okubi, libambelele kokulungileyo.
Rudo ngaruve rwechokwadi. Semai zvakaipa, makanamatira zvakanaka.
10 Thandanani kakhulu ngothando lobuzalwane; ekuhloniphaneni phathani abanye ngcono kulani;
Dananai zvikuru nerudo rwehama; pakukudza muchitangirana.
11 lingabi ngamavila ekukhuthaleni; livuthe emoyeni; likhonza iNkosi;
Musava neusimbe pakushingaira; mupise pamweya; muchishumira Ishe;
12 lithokoza ethembeni; libekezela ekuhluphekeni; liphikelela emkhulekweni;
muchifara mutariro; muchitsungirira padambudziko; muchirambira mumunyengetero;
13 yabelani kunswelo zabangcwele; likhuthalele ukuphana kuzihambi.
muchigovera pakushaiwa kwevatsvene; muchishingirira kugamuchira vaeni.
14 Babusiseni abalizingelayo; busisani, lingaqalekisi.
Ropafadzai vanokushushai; ropafadzai, musatuka.
15 Thokozani labathokozayo, likhale labakhalayo.
Farai nevanofara, uye chemai nevanochema.
16 Kalibe lenhliziyonye komunye lomunye. Lingakhumbuli ngezinto eziphakemeyo, kodwa lihlangane labathobekileyo. Lingazitshayi abahlakaniphileyo.
Ivai vemoyo umwe, umwe kune umwe. Musafunganya zvinhu zvakakwirira, asi mufambidzane navanozvininipisa. Musazviidza vakachenjera.
17 Lingaphindiseli muntu okubi ngokubi. Linakane okudumisekayo phambi kwabantu bonke.
Musatsiva ani zvake chakaipa nechakaipa. Muchirangarirai zvakarurama pamberi pevanhu vese.
18 Uba kungenzeka, ngokukini, hlalani ngokuthula labantu bonke.
Kana zvichigona, sezvinobva kwamuri, garai nerugare nevanhu vese.
19 Bathandiweyo, lingaziphindiseli, kodwa nikani ulaka indawo; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Ngeyami impindiselo, mina ngizabuyisela, kutsho iNkosi.
Vadikanwi, musazvitsivira, asi ipai hasha nzvimbo; nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Kutsiva ndekwangu, ini ndicharipira, anodaro Ishe.
20 Ngakho nxa isitha sakho silambile, siphe ukudla; nxa somile, sinathise; ngoba ngokwenza lokho, usibekela amalahle avuthayo phezu kwekhanda laso.
Naizvozvo kana muvengi wako ane nzara, mupe kudya; kana ane nyota, munwise; nokuti mukuita izvozvo, uchadurikidza mazimbe emoto pamusoro wake.
21 Unganqotshwa ngokubi, kodwa nqoba okubi ngokuhle.
Usakundwa nechakaipa, asi kunda chakaipa nechakanaka.
