Timoti 3
1 ilisio ili lya kyang'ani, “umunhu juno ilonda imbombo ijakuva muloleleli ghwa kipugha kya vitiki, ujuo asalwile imbombo inofu.”
Lithembekile ilizwielithi: Uba umuntu efisa isikhundla sombonisi, ufisa umsebenzi omuhle;
2 kwekuti umuloleleli ghwa kipugha kya vitiki, avisaghe munhu juno naipikua, juno nam'bwafu,”unya kukughela kange unya kukulolelela, umunhu ghwa vutavike, ntengeleli, juno akimanyile kuvulanisia
ngakho kumele ukuthi umbonisi abe ngongasolekiyo, indoda yomfazi munye, ozithintayo, oqondileyo, oziphatha ngokufaneleyo, ophatha kuhle izihambi, olelisu lokufundisa;
3 aleke kuuva mughasi, aleke kuuva nyamabatu, avisaghe muhuugu. kange nangavisaghe muhojofu ghwa ndalama.
angabi yisidakwa, angabi ngothanda ukulwa, anganxwaneli inzuzo embi, kodwa abe mnene, angabi ngothanda ukuxabana, angabi ngothanda imali;
4 avisaghe muunhu unyakwimila vunofu inyumba jaake, juno akimanyile kuvunga avaana muluveelo ulunofu, kange voope vikumpulika.
ephatha kuhle owakhe umuzi, elabantwana abalalela ngenhlonipho yonke,
5 kwekuuti umunhu junoikunua kukwimilila unyumba jaake jujuo, ndepoonu ikwimilila ndaani ikipugha kya vitiki?
ngoba uba umuntu engakwazi ukuphatha owakhe umuzi, angaligcina njani ibandla likaNkulunkulu?
6 kange nangavisaghe muunhu juno nanga asyetukagha, ulwakuva kyaikughinia. ulughinio uluo lukumpelela kukwingila muvuhighi ndavule alyahighilue uSetano.
Kangabi ngosanda ukukholwa, hlezi ngokukhukhunyezwa awele ekulahlweni kukadiyabhola.
7 looli, avisaghe muunu juno ikwolekua vunofu nambe na vapanji, kuuti aleke kupikua na ghwilila mulutegho lwa Setano.
Kumele futhi ukuthi abe lobufakazi obuhle kwabangaphandle, hlezi awele ekuthukweni lemjibileni kadiyabhola.
8 navatangili vavisaghe vagholofu vano navasyetung'ani, navaghaasi, valekaghe kuuva vahojofu va ndalama.
Ngokunjalo abadikoni bahlonipheke, bangabi ndimimbili, bangananzi iwayini elinengi, bangafisi inzuzo embi,
9 looli vavisaghe vaanhu vano vigadilila uvwakyang'ani vwa lwitiko lwinu nu mwojo um'balafu.
babambe imfihlo yokholo esazeleni esimhlophe.
10 voope ava vaghelwaghe taasi, neke vangavoneke kuuti vanoghiile, vavombaaghe imbombo ijio.
Laba-ke kabaqale bahlolwe, okulandelayo kabakhonze uba bengasoleki.
11 navadala vaave vavisaghe nuluveelo lunofu, vano navadesi, vano vikughela, kange vavombi vanofu musooni.
Ngokunjalo omkabo babe ngabahloniphekayo, abanganyeyiyo, abazithintayo, bethembekile ezintweni zonke.
12 avtangili valekaghe kuuva vavwafu, ulwene vavisaghe vaanhu vano vikwimila vunofu avaana vaake nasi nyumba saave.
Abadikoni kababe ngamadoda amfazi munye, aphatha kuhle abantwana leyawo imizi.
13 vano vivomba vunofu imbombo ija vutangili, viiva voghopua. apuo viiva ni ngufu kupulikisia imhola ija lwitiko lwitu mwa Yeesu Kilisite.
Ngoba abakhonze kuhle bazizuzela isimilo esihle, lesibindi esikhulu ekholweni olukuKristu Jesu.
14 nikuvalembela amasio agha, kumo nihuvila kukwisa kulyumue munsiki n'debe ghuno ghukwisa.
Lezizinto ngikubhalela zona, ngithemba ukuza kuwe masinyane;
15 neke nambe nidiile, ukagulaghe sino sinoghiile kuvomba munyumba ja Nguluve, jino kye kipugha kya vitiki va Nguluve juno mwumi, mbanda, kange lwako lwa kyang'ani.
kodwa uba ngibambeka, ukuze wazi ukuthi kufanele uziphathe njani endlini kaNkulunkulu, elibandla likaNkulunkulu ophilayo, insika lesisekelo seqiniso.
16 kyang'ani, sino uNguluve atuhufisie m'baha, soope se isi. uNguluve akivonesia mulwa m'bili, akalekua nu Mhepo kuuva mugholofu, akavoneka, akapulisivua mufisina fyoni, avaanhu ava muiisi vakamwitika, akatolua kuluta kukyanya muvuvaha.
Kuyavunywa-ke ukuthi yinkulu imfihlo yokukhonza uNkulunkulu: UNkulunkulu wabonakaliswa enyameni, wathiwa ulungile kuMoya, wabonwa zingilosi, watshunyayelwa ezizweni, wakholeka emhlabeni, wenyuselwa ebukhosini.
