1 Wakoritho 4
1 Vulevule pepene umuunhu ikutuvalila usue, avavimbi va Kilisite kange vimilili va vusyefu vwa lweli uvwa Nguluve.
Umuntu kanakane ngathi ngokunje, njengezisebenzi zikaKristu labaphathi bezimfihlo zikaNkulunkulu.
2 Mu ulu, kino kilondua ku vwimilili kwekuuti vavisaghe vakuhuvilua.
Futhi-ke, kuyadingeka ebaphathini, ukuthi umuntu aficwe ethembekile.
3 Looli kulyune une kiinu kidebe kyongo kuva muhighua numue nambe uluhighilo lwa kimuunhu. Ulwakuuva nanikuhigha nambe june nemwene.
Kodwa kimi kuyinto encinyane kakhulu ukuthi ngithonisiswe yini, kumbe ngokwahlulela kwabantu; kodwa lami kangizithonisisi.
4 Nanikuhigha june namwene, uluo nakwekuuti une june nanilighwa kyang'haani. Ghwa Mutwa juno ikuhigha.
Ngoba kanginanzeleli lutho kimi, kanti kangilungisiswanga ngalokho; kodwa ongahlulelayo yiNkosi.
5 Pa uluo, namungajovaghe uluhighilo ku sooni ija n'siki naghufikile, ghwakwisa u Mutwa juno. Juno ikuvavika pavuvalafu ghooni ghano gha fisime ku ng'iisi nakufwikula uludonya lwa mwojo. Apuo umuunhu ghweni ikwupilagha ulughinio lwamwene kuhuma kwa Nguluve.
Ngakho lingahluleli lutho isikhathi singakafiki, ize ifike iNkosi, ezaveza futhi ekukhanyeni izinto ezifihlakeleyo emnyameni, njalo iveze obala amacebo ezinhliziyo; njalo khona ngulowo lalowo ezakuba lokubongwa okuvela kuNkulunkulu.
6 Lino, vakulu vango numue vamwanilumbu vango, june nemwene nu Apolo nivingilila uvutavike uvu vwimila umue. Ulwakuuti kuhuma kulyusue luvanoghile kumanyila kulyumue ifyovele kwekuuti kiki, “Ulakilililagha kukila ndavule kilembilue.” Ulu kwekuuti nakwale nambe jumo kulyumue ughwa kughinia kukiila ujunge.
Njalo lezizinto, bazalwane, ngiziqondanise lami loApolosi ngenxa yenu, ukuze lifunde kithi ukuthi lingakhumbuli phezu kokulotshiweyo, ukuze lingakhukhunyezwa omunye ngomunye limelane lomunye.
7 Ulwakuuva ghweni juno juno ipungilanila kulola nu junge? Kyekinukiki kino UKlinakyo nukakyupilile vuvule? Nave umalile kukwupila vuvule, kiki mukughinia nave fye mukavombile vuvule?
Ngoba ngubani okwenza ukuthi wehluke? Njalo kuyini olakho ongakwemukelanga? Njalo uba lawe wemukele, uzincomelani ngokungathi kawemukelanga?
8 Lukwiline mulinafyo fyooni fino muvela mulonda! Lukwiline mulinuvumofu! Mutengwile kutema- ulwakuuti muhalile kukila usue! Looli nikuvasumila uvuhasi uvunofu ulwakuuti tuhalaghe palikimo numue.
Selisuthi, selinothile, libusile ngaphandle kwethu; yebo-ke kungathi ngabe liyabusa, ukuze lathi sibuse kanye lani.
9 Pa uluo nisagha u Nguluve atuvikile usue vasung'ua heene ikutusona vavusilile mulukindi lwa maandamano na ku vaanhu vano vahighilue kubudua. Tulindavule ulusejo lwa iisi, kuvanyamola na muvaanhu.
Ngoba ngithi uNkulunkulu usimisile thina abaphostoli bokucina, sibe njengabamiselwe ukufa; ngoba senziwe umbukiso emhlabeni, lakuzo ingilosi, lebantwini.
10 Usue tulivayasu vwimila vwa Kilidite, looli umue mulivanyaluhala mwa Kilisite. Tulivavotevote, looli umue muliningufu. Mukwoghopua, looli usue tusyojolivua.
Thina siyizithutha ngenxa kaKristu, kodwa lina lihlakaniphile kuKristu; thina sibuthakathaka, kodwa lina lilamandla; lina liyahlonitshwa, kodwa thina siyadelelwa.
11 Nambe unsiki ughu tulininjala ni kyumilua, tughajile amenda, tulinimumuko, kange tulisila pakukala.
Kuze kube lihola lakhathesi silambile, somile, sihambaze, siyatshaywa ngenqindi, siyimihambuma,
12 Tuvomba imbombo ningufu, namavoko ghitu jusue. Pano tusyojolua, tufunya. Unsinki ghuno tupumusivua, tukuguda.
siyatshikatshika sisebenza ngezethu izandla; sithi sithukwa sibusise; sithi sizingelwa sibekezele;
13 Pano tulighwa, tukwamula nuvuhugu. Kwetule, kange tujighe tuvalilua kuuva heene tukanilue ni iisi na makakala ku ghooni.
sithi sinyeywa sincenge; senziwa njengamanyala omhlaba, imfucuza yezinto zonke, kuze kube khathesi.
14 Nanilemba agha ghooni ulwakuuti nivapelele u sooni umue, looli kukuvaghumbatila umue heene vanha vango vano nivaghanile.
Kangilibhaleli lezizinto ukuthi ngilithele inhloni, kodwa ngileluleka njengabantwana bami abathandekayo.
15 Nambe kuuti mulivavulanisi ifijigho fya mbilima mwa kilisite, musila va Nhaata viinga. Ulwakuuva nili Nhata ghwinu mwa Yesu Kilisite kukilila ilivangili.
Ngoba lanxa lilabeluleki abayizinkulungwane ezilitshumi kuKristu, kodwa kalilaboyihlo abanengi; ngoba mina ngalizala kuKristu Jesu ngevangeli.
16 Pa uluo nikuvapelepesia munyighaghe une.
Ngakho ngiyalincenga: Banini ngabalingisi bami.
17 Apuo fyenambe nikamwomwile kulyumue u Timotheo, vaghanike vango kange mwaana mfwihu kwa Mutwa. Ikuvakumbusiagha isila sango mwa Kilisite, ndavule nivulanisivue poni naku ng'ong'ano soni.
Ngalokho ngithume kini uTimothi, ongumntanami othandekayo lothembekileyo eNkosini, ozalikhumbuza ngenhambo zami ezikuKristu, njengoba ngifundisa endaweni zonke kulo lonke ibandla.
18 Lino vamonga mulyumue vukughinia, vivomba hene nanilikwisa mulyumue.
Kodwa abanye bazikhukhumezile ngokungathi kangiyikuza kini.
19 Looli nikwisa kulyumue linolino, nave u Mutwa angakele. Apuo pe nilikagula na ghe masio ghavanave vanovikughinia, looli nililolagha ingufu sivanave.
Kanti ngizakuza kini masinyane, uba iNkosi ivuma, njalo ngizakwazi, hatshi ilizwi lalabo abazikhukhumezayo, kodwa amandla.
20 Ulwakuva uvutua vwa Nguluve navuva mumasio looli mu ngufu. Mulonda kiki?
Ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu kawungelizwi kodwa ngamandla.
21 Nise kulyumue nulugudo nakuuva nulughano namunumbula ijavulugu?
Lifunani? Ngize kini ngenduku yini, kumbe ngothando lomoya ochumileyo?
