KWEBEROMA 14
Isiyeleliso ngokugweba
1Yamukelani loyo onokukholwa okutekatekako ngaphandle kokumgweba ngokunande niphikisana naye. 2Ukukholwa komuntu omunye kumvumela bona agome nanyana yini, kodwana omunye onokukholwa okutekatekako uzigomela imirorho kwaphela. 3Umuntu ogoma koke akangamqaleli phasi loyo okhethako. Naloyo ongagomi koke angamgwebi loyo osogoma yoke into ngombana naye uZimu umamukele. 4Ungubani-ke wena bona ungazokugweba inceku yomunye umuntu na? Ukujama nokuwa kwayo kukumniniyo. Izakujama ngombana iKosi inamandla wokuyenza bona ijame.
5Omunye umuntu uthi ilanga elinye liqakathekile kunelinye, omunye uthi woke amalanga ayafana. Ngiloyo naloyo akazanelise ehliziywenakhe. 6Loyo onelanga alihloniphako, ulihloniphela ukudumisa iKosi. Naloyo ogoma inyama, uyigomela iKosi ngombana uthokoza uZimu. Naloyo ongagomiko, lokho ukwenzela iKosi begodu uthokoza uZimu. 7Akakho noyedwa wethu oziphilelako, kanti-ke godu akakho noyedwa ozifelako 8ngombana nasiphilako, siphilela iKosi nalokha nasifako sifela iKosi. Nje-ke nanyana siyaphila namkha siyafa, singebeKosi. 9Ngesizathweso uKrestu wafa, wabuye waphila godu ukuze abe yiKosi yabafileko nabaphilako. 10Alo, umgwebelani-ke umfowenu na? Namkha kubayini uqalela umfowenu phasi na? Soke nje sizokujama phambi kwesihlalo sokugweba sakaZimu 11ngombana kutloliwe kwathiwa:
“Ngizifunga ngokwami.”
Kutjho uSomnini.
“Woke amadolo azokuguqa phambi kwami
namalimu woke adumise uZimu.”
12Nje-ke omunye nomunye wethu uzoziphendulela kuZimu.
13Nje-ke asiliseni ukugwebana, kodwana endaweni yalokho tjhugululani imikhumbulwenu, ningabeki isiqabo namkha isisitho endleleni yomfowenu. 14Ngiyazi begodu ngikholisekile eKosini uJesu bonyana akunanto esilaphele ngokwayo, kodwana iba ngesilapheleko kiloyo ocabanga bonyana isilaphele. 15Nakube umzalwana wakho ukhubekiswa ngilokho okugomako, khona-ke awusakhambi ethandweni. Ungavumeli bona lokho okugomako kubhubhise loyo amfelako uKrestu. 16Yeke ukulunga kwakho akungathathwa njengobumbi 17ngombana umbuso kaZimu awusi kugoma nokusela, kodwana kulunga, kuthula nokuthokoza kuMoya oCwengileko. 18Nje-ke loyo olotjha uKrestu, wamukelekile kuZimu begodu nabantu bayamvuma.
19Ngalokho-ke asirhulupheleni lokho okuletha ukuthula nokwakhana. 20Ungatjhabalalisi umsebenzi kaZimu ngebanga lokudla. Iye, ije koke ukudla kuhlwengile, kodwana akukalungi kobana wena uwise abanye ngalokho okugomako. 21Kuhle ukuzigoba ungagomi inyama, ungaseli iwayini namkha ungenzi nanyana yini ezokubangela bona umzalwana wakho akhubeke. 22Ukukholwa onakho akube yindabakho noZimu. Babusisiwe labo abanganasizathu sokuzilahla ngebanga lalokho abakubona kukuhle. 23Kodwana labo abazazako bayalahlwa nakube bayagoma ngombana nabenza njalo bakhombisa ukungakhambi ngokukholwa. Nanyana yini engaveli ekukholweni isisono.
