Kwemukeleka kuNkulunkulu
1Hlalani njalo nitsandzana njengebazalwane. 2Ningakhohlwa kungenisa tihambi emakhaya enu, ngobe labanye ngekwenta njalo bangenisa tingilosi bangaketeleli. 3Bakhumbuleni labasemajele, kube shangatsi nani niboshwe kanye nabo. Nibakhumbule nalabo labaphetfwe kabi, kube shangatsi nihlupheka kanye nabo.
4Umshado awuhlonishwe ngibo bonkhe; labatsetsene kufanele betsembeke lomunye kulomunye. Nkulunkulu uyawubehlulela bonkhe labagwadlako nalabaphingako.
5Balekelani kutsandza imali, neneliswe nguloko leninako, ngobe Nkulunkulu watsi: “Ngingeke ngikuyekele, ngingeke ngikushiye.” 6Ngaloko singasho ngesibindzi sitsi:
“INkhosi ingumsiti wami;
ngingeke ngesabe.
Umuntfu angangentani nje?”
7Khumbulani baholi benu, lababekhuluma kini livi laNkulunkulu, nikhumbule kuphila kwabo nekufa kwabo netitselo tabo, bese niyabalingisa. 8Jesu Khristu akagucuki; nguye itolo, nalamuhla, naphakadze. 9Ningedukiswa timfundziso letingatiwa letitinhlobonhlobo. Kuhle kutsi tinhlitiyo tetfu ticiniswe ngemusa, hhayi ngekugcina imitsetfo yekudla, ngobe labo labayigcinako ayibasiti ngalutfo.
10Sinelilati, lapho khona umhlatjelo losetikwalo baphristi labakhonta ethendeni lekuhlangana bate lilungelo lekuwudla. 11UmPhristi Lomkhulu ungena nengati yetinkhomo neyetimbuti endzaweni lengcwele, itewuba ngumnikelo, kodvwa tidvumbu taletilwane tishiswa ngephandle kwenkambu. 12Ngiko nje naJesu wafela ngephandle kwelisango, kuze atewungcwelisa bantfu ngengati yakhe. 13Ngako-ke asiphumele kuye ngephandle kwenkambu setfwalisane naye lihlazo lakhe; 14ngobe lapha site likhaya lelitawuma kuze kube phakadze, kodvwa sifuna likhaya lelitako. 15Asimbonge njalo Nkulunkulu, simdvumise ngaJesu. Lokumdvumisa akube ngumnikelo wayo yonkhe imilomo levuma libito lakhe. 16Ningakuyekeli kwenta lokuhle nekuhlephunelana loko leninako, ngobe iminikelo lenjalo iyamtfokotisa Nkulunkulu.
17Hloniphani baholi benu, nilalele imitsetfo yabo, ngobe balindza imiphefumulo yenu bangaphumuli, njengobe bayawulandzisa ngayo. Nanenta njalo, nibasita, umsebenti wabo batawenta ngekujabula, hhayi ngelusizi; ngobe nani kungeke kunisite loko.
18Sithandazeleni, ngobe sineliciniso kutsi nembeza wetfu umsulwa, sifisa kwenta lokulungile kuko konkhe ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi. 19Ngiyanincenga kutsi nisithandazele kakhulu, kuze kutsi Nkulunkulu angibuyisele kini masinyane.
Umthandazo wekuvala
20Shangatsi Nkulunkulu wekuthula lowavusa iNkhosi yetfu Jesu kulabafile, wamenta uMelusi Lomkhulu wetimvu ngengati yakhe yesivumelwane saphakadze, 21anganiphelelisa kuko konkhe lokuhle, kuze nente intsandvo yakhe, asebente kini ente ngaJesu Khristu loko lokujabulisako emehlweni akhe. Ludvumo alube kuKhristu phakadze naphakadze. Amen.
Emavi ekugcina
22Ngiyanincenga-ke, bazalwane, kutsi nilalele kuyala kwami ngekubeketela, ngobe nginibhalele incwadzi lemfisha. 23Kufanele nati kutsi Thimothi, umzalwane, sewukhululiwe ejele. Nasheshe wefika, ngitawufika naye lapho kini.
24Hambisani bonkhe baholi benu, kanye nabo bonkhe labangcwele. Bazalwane baseTaliyane bayanihambisa.
25Umusa awube nani nonkhe.
