1 KwabaseKhorinte 8
1 Mayelana-ke lezinto ezihlatshelwe izithombe, siyazi ukuthi sonke silolwazi. Ulwazi luyakhukhumeza, kodwa uthando luyakha.
ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛ̅ϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ. ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁϥϫⲓⲥⲉ. ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁⲥⲕⲱⲧ.
2 Uba-ke umuntu esithi uyazi ulutho, kakazi lutho njengoba kufanele ukuthi azi;
ⲃ̅ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲧϥ̅ⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧ(ϣ)ϣⲉ ⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ.
3 kodwa uba umuntu ethanda uNkulunkulu, yena uyaziwa nguye.
ⲅ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅·
4 Ngakho mayelana lokudla izinto ezihlatshelwe izithombe, siyazi ukuthi isithombe kasilutho emhlabeni, lokuthi kakho omunye unkulunkulu ngaphandle koyedwa.
ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲟⲩⲱⲙ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲟⲩⲁ.
5 Ngoba lanxa kukhona okuthiwa ngonkulunkulu, loba kusezulwini loba kusemhlabeni (njengoba kukhona onkulunkulu abanengi, lamakhosi amanengi),
ⲉ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϣϫⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ. ⲉⲓⲧⲉ ϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ. ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲓϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
6 kanti kithi kuloNkulunkulu munye, uBaba, okuvela kuye izinto zonke, lathi sikuye; leNkosi inye, uJesu Kristu, okwavela ngaye konke, lathi sikhona ngaye.
ⲋ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅.
7 Kodwa ulwazi kalukho kubo bonke; kanti abanye belesazela sesithombe kuze kube khathesi bayakudla njengokuhlatshelwe isithombe, lesazela sabo esibuthakathaka singcoliswa.
ⲍ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲛ. ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲱⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡ(ⲉ)ⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ϣⲁϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ϩⲱⲥ ϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲩⲥⲩⲛⲉⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲉⲥϭⲟⲟⲃ ⲥⲧⲱⲗⲙ̅.
8 Kodwa ukudla kakusisondezi kuNkulunkulu; ngoba kungesikuthi nxa sisidla, silenzuzo; njalo kungesikuthi nxa singadli, silokulahlekelwa.
ⲏ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣϩⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲧⲙ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲣ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲁⲛ·
9 Qaphelani-ke, hlezi amandla enu la abe yisikhubekiso kwababuthakathaka.
ⲑ̅ϭⲱϣⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϫⲣⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϭⲟⲟⲃ.
10 Ngoba uba umuntu ekubona wena ololwazi uhlezi ekudleni ethempelini lesithombe, isazela salowo obuthakathaka kasiyikuqiniswa yini ukuthi adle izinto ezihlatshelwe izithombe?
ⲓ̅ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲕⲛⲏϫ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲉⲩϭⲱⲃ ⲡⲉ. ⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲕⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ.
11 Ngenxa yolwazi lwakho lomzalwane obuthakathaka uzabhubha yini, amfelayo uKristu?
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϥⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲧϭⲟⲟⲃ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ. ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ.
12 Kodwa uba lisona ngokunjalo kubazalwane, lilimaza isazela sabo esibuthakathaka, liyona kuKristu.
