Ngekuyala labakholwako
1Ungayikhahli indvodza lendzala, kodvwa uyiyale kube shangatsi uyala uyihlo; labadvuna labasebancane ubaphatse shangatsi uphetse bomnakenu. 2Labasikati labadzala ubaphatse shangatsi uphetse bonyoko, nalabasikati labasebancane ubaphatse shangatsi uphetse bodzadzewenu, ube msulwa kubo bonkhe.
Imiyalo ngebafelokati
3Ubatise bafelokati, lababafelokati sibili. 4Nangabe umfelokati anebantfwana nome batukulu, abacale bakhombise inhlonipho yekukholwa kwabo emakhaya kubo, babuyisele kubonga kwabo kulabo lababakhulisile, ngobe nguloko lokuhle emehlweni aNkulunkulu. 5Kodvwa lowo longumfelokati sibili, longasenabani, litsemba lakhe lonkhe sewulibeke kuNkulunkulu. Uthandaza busuku nemini acela lusito kuNkulunkulu. 6Kodvwa umfelokati lotinikele etinkhanukweni ufe asaphila. 7Bayale ngaloko, kuze bangasoleki. 8Kepha nangabe umuntfu anganakekeli tihlobo takhe, ikakhulu umndeni wakhe, sewukulahlile kukholwa; futsi loko kwenta kwakhe kubi kakhulu kunekwemuntfu longakholwa.
9Umfelokati, loneminyaka lengetulu kwema-60, ungambhalisa, nangabe abeshade kanye. 10Kufanele atiwe ngetento takhe letinhle, njengemuntfu lowake wondla wakhulisa bantfwana, waphatsa kahle tihambi, wageza tinyawo talabangcwele, wasita labahluphekile, futsi kufanele abe ngulabetinikele kwenta lokuhle nome ngayiphi indlela.
11Kodvwa bafelokati labasebancane ungababhalisi, ngobe nangabe tinkhanuko tabo tenyama setibenta besuke kuKhristu, babe sebafisa kwendza. 12Ngaleyo ndlela batifaka ekwehlulelweni ngekuphambuka esetsembisweni sabo sekucala. 13Ngetulu kwaloko bafundza buvila ngekutfunga imiti, bangagcini ngebuvila kuphela, kodvwa babuye bahlebe, bangene kulokungesiko kwabo, bakhulume nalokungakafaneli. 14Ngifisa kutsi bafelokati labasebancane bendze, batale bantfwana, baphatse imindeni yabo, kuze sitsa singetilitfola litfuba lekunyembenya labakholwako. 15Vele, labanye sebaphambukile, balandzela Sathane. 16Nangabe kukhona umfati lokholwako lonebafelokati labatihlobo, akabasite; lingetfweswa umtfwalo libandla, khona litekusita labo lababafelokati labeswele ngempela.
Imiyalo ngebabonisi belibandla
17Babonisi belibandla labaphetse kahle bafanele kubongwa ngalokuphindziwe, ikakhulu labo labasebenta ngekushumayela nangekufundzisa. 18Empeleni umBhalo utsi: “Ungayifaki sifonyo inkhabi nayibhulako;” uphindze utsi: “Sisebenti sifanelwe liholo laso.”
19Ungakwemukeli kubekwa licala kwembonisi welibandla ngaphandle kwekutsi kube nabofakazi lababili nome labatsatfu. 20Labo labonako ubasole ubekhute embikwabo bonkhe, khona nalabo labanye batewuhlala ngekwesaba.
Letinye teluleko
21Ngiyakuyalisisa, embikwaNkulunkulu, naKhristu Jesu, netingilosi letikhetsiwe, kutsi lemiyalo uyigcine ngebucotfo ungavuni muntfu; ungakhetsi muntfu. 22Ungasheshi kubeka tandla kunome ngukubani, futsi ungabambisani nemuntfu etonweni takhe; tigcine umsulwa.
23Yekela kunatsa emanti odvwa, ubosale unatsa nelitsantana leliwayini ngenca yesisu sakho nangebutsakatsaka lobuvama kukuhlupha.
24Tono talabanye bantfu tisebaleni, tiyabendvulela tibaholele ekwehlulelweni; kodvwa talabanye tiyabalandzela tibonakale kamuva.
25Kanjalo tento letinhle tisebaleni, naleto letingakabonakali tingeke tihlale tifihlakele.
