Insindziso lenkhulu
1Ngako-ke ngabe siyakucaphelisisa sikubambe loko lesikuvile, funa sikhweshe kuko. 2Livi lelamenyetelwa tingilosi laciniseka; nako konkhe lokubi nekungalaleli kwakujeziswa ngalokufanele. 3Pho, tsine siyawuphunyula njani, nasingakunaki lokusindziswa lokungaka? Kwakhulunywa yiNkhosi kucala, kwaciniswa kitsi ngulabo labayiva. 4Nkulunkulu wafakaza kanye nabo ngetibonakaliso, nangetimangaliso, nangemisebenti yemandla leyehlukahlukene, nangetipho taMoya Longcwele lataba ngekwentsandvo yakhe.
Umvuli wendlela yensindziso
5Sikhuluma ngemhlaba lotako; Nkulunkulu akawubekanga ngaphansi kwetingilosi. 6Kepha bukhona bufakazi lesibutfola emiBhalweni lobutsi:
“Uyini umuntfu
kutsi umkhumbule?
Iyini indvodzana yemuntfu
kutsi uyinakekele?
7Wamenta kutsi abe mncane kunetingilosi,
sikhashana lesifishane nje.
Wametfwesa umchele
webukhosi neludvumo,
[wammisa etikwemisebenti
yetandla takho].
8Tonkhe tintfo
watibeka ngaphansi kwetinyawo takhe.”
Kubeka tintfo tonkhe ngaphansi kwakhe kusho kutsi kute lakushiya kungakabekwa ngaphansi kwemandla akhe. Kwanyalo nje, sisengakaboni kutsi tintfo tonkhe tibekwe ngaphansi kwakhe. 9Kodvwa lesimbonako nguJesu, lowentiwa waba mncane kunetingilosi kwesikhashana. Wetfweswa umchele webukhosi neludvumo ngenca yekuhlupheka kwekufa. Kwaya ngebubele baNkulunkulu kutsi Jesu eve kufa ngenca yebantfu bonkhe. 10Konkhe lokukhona kukhona kuye nangaye Nkulunkulu. Ngako-ke kwakuvele kumfanele kutsi yena ente Jesu apheleliswe ngekuhlupheka; wamenta waba ngumvuli wendlela yekusindziswa kwemadvodzana lamanyenti ngekuwaletsa ebukhosini. 11Ngobe lowo longcwelisako nalabo labangcwelisiwe baphuma kuBabe munye. Ngiko nje angenamahloni kubabita ngekutsi bomnakabo, 12utsi:
“Ngiyawushumayela kubomnaketfu
libito lakho,
ngihlabelele ngawe
emkhatsini welibandla.”
13Uphindze atsi:
“Ngiyawubeka litsemba lami
kuNkulunkulu;”
aphindze atsi:
“Ngilapha mine, nebantfwana
Nkulunkulu langiphe bona.”
14Ngako-ke njengobe bantfwana baba bantfu, naye-ke Jesu waba ngumuntfu njengabo, kuze kutsi abhubhise Sathane labenemandla etikwekufa, 15kuze akhulule bonkhe labo labatsi ngesikhatsi sonkhe sekuphila kwabo baboshelwa ebugcilini ngenca yekwesaba kufa. 16Ngobe akusito tingilosi labecondze kutisita, kodvwa titukulwane ta-Abrahama. 17Ngako-ke kwakudzingekile kutsi afanane nabomnakabo ngako konkhe, kuze atewuba ngumPhristi Lomkhulu lonesihawu nalowetsembekile emsebentini waNkulunkulu, kube yinhlawulo yetono tebantfu. 18Njengobe naye matfupha wahlupheka alingwa, unawo emandla ekubasita labo labalingwako.
