KwabaseRoma 3
1 Pho-ke yibuphi ubungcono bomJuda, kumbe luyini usizo lokusoka?
Sena mulayeyengeti Bayuda bapita bantu ba mishobo naimbi? Ninga kupalulwa kukute pindu cini?
2 Kukhulu ngendlela yonke; ngoba kuqala-ke ukuthi baphathiswe amazwi kaNkulunkulu.
Pali bwinishi bunene pakuba Muyuda, pakwinga pakutanguna Lesa walapa Bayuda maswi akendi kwambeti basungenga.
3 Ngoba kuyini uba abanye bengakholwanga? Ukungakholwa kwabo kuzakwenza ize ukholo lukaNkulunkulu yini?
Nomba nabambi pakati pabo nkabalashomeka, sena kubula lushomo kwabo ngakupesheti Lesa abule kushomeka?
4 Phinde! Kodwa uNkulunkulu kabe leqiniso, kodwa wonke umuntu abe ngumqambimanga, njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Ukuze uthiwe ulungile emazwini akho, unqobe ekwahlulelweni kwakho.
Sobwe, ico nkacela kwinshika! Lesa abe wakubinga, necikabeti bantu bonse nibandemishibili. Mbuli Mabala ncakute kwambeti, “Amwe Lesa, lekani bantu bonse benshibeti mukute kwamba cakubinga, Kayi cindi conse mukute kucaniketi muliya kampenda pakukombolosha.”
5 Kodwa uba ukungalungi kwethu kubonakalisa ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu, sizakuthini? Kambe uNkulunkulu kalunganga yini owehlisela ulaka? (Ngikhuluma njengomuntu.)
Lino na kwipa kwetu kulaleshengeti Lesa walulama, ngatwambeconi? Sena ngatwambeti Lesa nkalulama pakutupa cisubulo? Ndambanga mbuli bantu nabambi ncobakute kwamba.
6 Phinde! Uba kungenjalo uNkulunkulu uzawahlulela njani umhlaba?
Sobwe, Lesa nalabula kuba walulama, sena nalakombolosheconi bantu bonse bapacishi capanshi?
7 Ngoba uba iqiniso likaNkulunkulu landisile kakhulu edumeni lwakhe ngamanga ami, ngisagwetshelwani mina futhi njengesoni?
Nabambi ngabambeti, “Nakubepa kwakame kulaleshenga patuba kushomeka kwa Lesa ne kukonempesha bulemeneno bwakendi, nomba ngaung'ombolosheconi eti nkute bwipishi?”
8 Njalo kungenjengalokhu sigconwa, lanjengoba abanye bathi thina sithi: Kasenze izinto ezimbi ukuze kuvele okuhle? Abakulahlwa kwabo kuba ngokokulunga.
Lino nicani ncotwelela kwambileti “katwinsani byaipa kwambeti byaina biboneke?” Cakubinga bantu nabambi balatutukananga pakwambeti, tulamba makani awa. Bantu aba Lesa nakabape cisubulo celela.
9 Pho-ke? Singcono yini? Hatshi bo! Ngoba sesiwacalile mandulo amaJuda kanye lamaGriki ukuthi wonke angaphansi kwesono,
Nomba lino sena afwe Bayuda twapita bantu ba mishobo naimbi? Sobwe! Tulapandululu kendi kwambeti bonse balepisha, Bayuda pamo ne bantu ba mishobo naimbi.
10 njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Kakho olungileyo, kakho loyedwa;
Pakwinga Mabala akute kwambeti, “Paliya muntu walulama, sobwe naba umo kuliya.
11 kakho oqedisisayo, kakho odinga uNkulunkulu;
Kuliya muntu ukute kunyumfwishisha, kuliyawa muntu lalangaulunga Lesa.
12 bonke baphambukile, kabasizi lutho bonkana; kakho owenza okuhle, kakho ngitsho loyedwa;
Bantu bonse basula Lesa, kayi bonse basendama, paliya shikwinsa byaina, sobwe kuliya naba umo.
13 umphimbo wabo ulingcwaba elivulekileyo; bakhohlisa ngenlimi zabo; ubuhlungu bephimpi bungaphansi kwendebe zabo;
Kwamba kwabo nikwakubepa, kayi kukute kushinisha. Milaka yabo ikute kwamba byakubepa kayi mumilomo yabo mukute kufuma maswi aipa aipa eti mata anjoka.
14 omlomo wabo ugcwele ukuqalekisa lokubaba;
Mumilomo mwabo mwesula mashingo, mukute kufuma maswi aipa.
15 inyawo zabo ziphangisela ukuchitha igazi;
Nibantu bakute kufwambana kulinga ne kushina banabo.
16 incithakalo losizi kusendleleni zabo,
Bakute kononga ne kupensha bantu kulikonse nkobalayi,
17 njalo indlela yokuthula kabayazanga;
kayi nkabacinshi kwikala mulumuno.
18 ukwesaba uNkulunkulu kakukho phambi kwamehlo abo.
Nkabakute kutina Lesa nambi pang'ana sobwe.”
19 Njalo siyazi ukuthi konke okutshoyo umlayo, ukukhuluma kubo abangaphansi komlayo, ukuze yonke imilomo ivinjwe, lokuthi umhlaba wonke ube lecala kuNkulunkulu;
“Lino tucinshi kwambeti byonse byambwa mu Milawo ya Lesa, bikute kwamba pali abo balakonkelenga Milawo kwambeti bantu bonse pa cishi capanshi bakabule pakuyubila milandu Lesa njeshakabape.
20 ngoba emisebenzini yomlayo kakulanyama ezalungisiswa phambi kwakhe; ngoba ngomlayo kulokwazi isono.
Pakwinga kuliyawa muntu Lesa ngwakute kubona walulama pacebo ca kukonkela Milawo. Mulawo ukute kutulesheti bantu bonse balepisha.”
21 Kodwa khathesi-ke sekubonakalisiwe ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu ngaphandle komlayo, okufakazelwa ngumlayo labaprofethi;
Nomba lino nshila ilaboneke yakucaninamo bululami pamenso a Lesa, nteyo yakukonkela Milawo sobwe. Milawo iyo niya Mose ne bashinshimi bakute kuyinshila bukamboni.
22 ngitsho ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu ngokholo lukaJesu Kristu kubo bonke laphezu kwabo bonke abakholwayo; ngoba kawukho umehluko;
Nshila bantu njobakute kucaninamo bululami pamenso a Lesa nikushoma Yesu Klistu. Lesa eukute kululamika bantu bashoma Yesu Klistu, pakwinga kuliya bupusano pakati pa bantu bonse.
23 ngoba bonke bonile basilele enkazimulweni kaNkulunkulu,
Bantu bonse balepisha, kayi balalilwa kushika ku bulemeneno bwa Lesa.
24 balungisiswa ngesihle ngomusa wakhe ngohlengo olukuKristu Jesu;
Nsombi kwinamoyo kwakendi Lesa kwabulyo, bantu balulamikwa kupitila muli Klistu Yesu uyo walabalubula.
25 uNkulunkulu ammisayo ukuthi abe yinhlawulo yokuthula, ngokholo egazini lakhe, ukuze kube yisibonakaliso sokulunga kwakhe, ngokuyekelwa kwezono ezenziwa ngaphambili, ekubekezeleni kukaNkulunkulu;
Lesa walamubengeti abe mulumbo kwambeti lufu lwakendi, lulesheti Lesa walulama uliyawa kubapa cisubulo abo balepisha mucindi cakunyuma
26 ukuze kube yisibonakaliso sokulunga kwakhe kulesisikhathi, ukuze abe ngolungileyo lokuthi uyamlungisisa ongowokholo lukaJesu.
pacebo cakuba ne moyonteka. Nomba pacindi cino Lesa walabenga Yesu kwambeti aboneshe kululama kwakendi, ne kwambeti benshibeti nendi walulama, kayi uliyense washoma Yesu ukute kuba walulama pamenso a Lesa.
27 Ngakho kungaphi ukuzincoma? Kuvalelwe phandle. Ngomthetho bani? Wemisebenzi yini? Hatshi bo, kodwa ngomthetho wokholo.
Nomba sena lino muntu ngolitukumuna? Sobwe, nkela kulitukumuna. Pacebo cini? Sena nipakukonkela Milawo? Sobwe, nsombi kushoma.
28 Ngakho siphetha ngokuthi umuntu ulungisiswe ngokholo, ngaphandle kwemisebenzi yomlayo.
Neco lino tulabono kwambeti muntu ukute kuba walulama pamenso a Lesa na lashomo, nteko kukonkela Milawo sobwe.
29 Kambe unguNkulunkulu wamaJuda kuphela? Njalo kayisuye lowabezizwe yini? Yebo lowabezizwe;
Sena Lesa ni Lesa wa Bayuda bonka? Sena ntendiye kayi Lesa wa bantu ba mishobo naimbi? Cakubinga endiye Lesa wa bantu ba mishobo naimbi.
30 lokhu uNkulunkulu emunye, ozalungisisa ukusoka ekholweni, lokungasoki ngokholo.
Lesa ni umo, neco endiye ukute kululamika Bayuda kupitila mulushomo kayi nabo bantu bakunsa bakute kuba balulama kupitila mulushomo.
31 Ngakho siyawenza umlayo ube yize ngokholo yini? Phinde! Kodwa siyawuqinisa umlayo.
Sena ici cilambangeti Milawo iliyawa ncito pakwambeti nikupitila mulushomo? Sobwe! Empotulaiyumishinga Milawo.
