KwabaseRoma 12
1 Ngakho, bazalwane, ngiyalincenga ukuthi, ngezihawu zikaNkulunkulu, linikele imizimba yenu ibe ngumhlatshelo ophilileyo, ongcwele, owemukelekayo kuNkulunkulu, kube yinkonzo yenu yokuqedisisa.
Neco mobanse, pakwinga Lesa latwinshili nkumbo shinene shilicisa, ndamusengengeti mulibenge mobene kuba cipo ciyumi kuli Lesa, yalibenga ku ncito yakendi kayi yakondwelesha Lesa. Yopeleyi enshila yancinencine yakukambililamo Lesa.
2 Njalo lingalingisi lumhlaba, kodwa liguqulwe ngokwenziwa zibentsha ingqondo zenu, ukuze lihlolisise okuyintando kaNkulunkulu elungileyo leyemukelekayo lepheleleyo. (aiōn g165)
Kamutalibika mubwikalo bwaipa bwa bantu bapacishi capanshi, nsombi lekani Lesa asandule buyumi bwenu bonse, pakumupani miyeyo ya linolino. Neco nimucikonshe kwinshiba Lesa mbyalayandanga, kayi nimwinshibe bintu byaina, byaloma kayi byeshikukondwelesha Lesa. (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.
Pacebo ca cipo cakwina moyo kwakendi, Lesa walankuwa kwambeti mbe mutumwa. Ndamwambilinga mwense kwambeti kamutalibona kuba bamano kupita momubelele. Kayi miyeyo yenu ibe yalicepesha, kwelana ne lushomo Lesa ndwalapa uliyense pakati penu.
4 Ngoba njengoba silezitho ezinengi emzimbeni munye, kodwa izitho zonke kazilamsebenzi ofananayo;
Mubili umo wa muntu ukute bilama bingi, nomba cilama ciliconse cikute incito yaco.
5 kunjalo thina esibanengi singumzimba munye kuKristu, njalo ngabanye siyizitho omunye komunye.
Copeleco ne njafwe nambi tobangi, njafwe mubili umo, bekatanishiwa pamo muli Klistu, kayi twense umo ne umo ukute lubasu lwakendi, njafwe bilama byekatana.
6 Njalo silezipho ezehlukeneyo ngokomusa esiwuphiweyo; zingaba yikuprofetha, asiprofethe ngokwesilinganiso sokholo;
Tukute bipo byapusana pusana mbuli Lesa mwalatuyabila mu kwina moyo kwakendi. Na cipo cetu nicakwamba mulumbe ulafumunga kuli Lesa, tucisebenseshe cena kwelana ne lushomo lwetu.
7 kumbe yikukhonza, asisebenze enkonzweni; kumbe ofundisayo, ekufundiseni;
Na cipo cetu nicakusebensa, tusebense cakubinga. Na nicakwiyisha, twiyishe cangofu.
8 kumbe olayayo, ekulayeni; ophanayo, kanike ngobuqotho; obusayo, ngokukhuthala; olesihawu, ngentokozo.
Na nicakuyuminisha nabambi, tubayuminishe cangofu. Shikuyabila banendi bintu mbyakute ayabe ne moyo wonse. Mutangunishi, asebense incito shakendi mwakulibilika. Shikulesha nkumbo kubantu bambi, aleshe mwakukondwa.
9 Uthandokalube qotho. Yenyanyani okubi, libambelele kokulungileyo.
Lusuno lube lwancine ncine. Mupelane ne bintu byaipa ne kubika myoyo pakwinsa byaina.
10 Thandanani kakhulu ngothando lobuzalwane; ekuhloniphaneni phathani abanye ngcono kulani;
Musunanenga umo ne munendi ne moyo wonse, kayi mwinsenga kupikishana pakupana bulemu pakati penu.
11 lingabi ngamavila ekukhuthaleni; livuthe emoyeni; likhonza iNkosi;
Kamusebensani cangofu, kamutaba batolo. Sebenselani Lesa mwakulibenga ne moyo wenu wonse.
12 lithokoza ethembeni; libekezela ekuhluphekeni; liphikelela emkhulekweni;
Kamubani bakondwa pa kupembelela kwenu. Kamutatetukanga cindi ca mapensho, kayi mupailenga cindi conse.
13 yabelani kunswelo zabangcwele; likhuthalele ukuphana kuzihambi.
Mubengenga bintu byakunyamfwilisha ba klistu banenu babulilwa, kayi kamutambulanga bensu mwakukondwa.
14 Babusiseni abalizingelayo; busisani, lingaqalekisi.
Sengani Lesa kwambeti abaleleke abo bakute kumupensha. Ee, sengani kwambeti abaleleke, kamutabashingana sobwe.
15 Thokozani labathokozayo, likhale labakhalayo.
Kamukondwani nabo abo balakondwaga, kayi lilani nabo abo balalilinga.
16 Kalibe lenhliziyonye komunye lomunye. Lingakhumbuli ngezinto eziphakemeyo, kodwa lihlangane labathobekileyo. Lingazitshayi abahlakaniphileyo.
Munyumfwanenga cena, kayi mutalitukumunanga, nsombi mwikatanenga nabo bantu bulyo. Mutalibonanga bamano.
17 Lingaphindiseli muntu okubi ngokubi. Linakane okudumisekayo phambi kwabantu bonke.
Muntu amwinshila caipa kamutamubweshela caipa. Kamweleshani kwinsa ibyo bantu bonse mbyobakute kuboneti byaina.
18 Uba kungenzeka, ngokukini, hlalani ngokuthula labantu bonke.
Na ngacikonsheka kamwikalani mulumuno ne bantu bonse.
19 Bathandiweyo, lingaziphindiseli, kodwa nikani ulaka indawo; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Ngeyami impindiselo, mina ngizabuyisela, kutsho iNkosi.
Mobanse bame kamutabweshela caipa, nsombi balekeni. Bukalu bwa Lesa endibo bweshi bukabape cisubulo. Pakwinga Mabala akute kwambeti, “Kubweshela ni kwakame, ninkabape cisubulo, lambangeco Wangofu Shonse.”
20 Ngakho nxa isitha sakho silambile, siphe ukudla; nxa somile, sinathise; ngoba ngokwenza lokho, usibekela amalahle avuthayo phezu kwekhanda laso.
Nomba kayi mbuli Mabala ncalambanga, “Na mulwani wakobe lanyumfu nsala mupe cakulya. Na lanyumfu nyotwa, obe mupe menshi akunwa. Wenseco nukabeti ulamubiki makalangasha amulilo pamutwi wakendi.”
21 Unganqotshwa ngokubi, kodwa nqoba okubi ngokuhle.
Kamutaleketi byaipa bimukome nsombi komani byaipa pakwinsa byaina.
