1 UPhetro 4
1 Njengoba uKristu wasihluphekela enyameni, hlomani lani ngengqondo efananayo, ngoba ohlupheke enyameni, useyekele isono,
Sumbu Klisto kamona ziphasi mu nituꞌandi, buna bika beno mamveno luba mayindu momo; bila mutu wowo wumona ziphasi mu nitu andi widi wuvambana ayi masumu
2 ukuze isikhathi esiseleyo enyameni lingabe lisaphilela inkanuko zabantu, kodwa intando kaNkulunkulu.
mu diambu kabika buela zingila, mu ndambu yi bilumbu bisiedi yandi mu nitu andi, boso buididi zitsatu zi batu vayi boso buididi luzolo lu Nzambi.
3 Ngoba kwanele kithi ukuthi isikhathi sempilo esedlulileyo siqhube intando yabezizwe, lapho sasihamba emanyaleni, ezinkanukweni, ekudakweni, ekuminzeni, ekunatheni, lekukhonzeni izithombe okuyangisayo;
Bila mu bilumbu biviokidi, luviokisidi thangu yiwombo mu vanganga luzolo lu Bapakanu bu lukivana mu kitsuza, mu zitsatu zimbimbi, mu kolo malavu, mu phulu yi dia ayi yi nua, mu sambilanga bitumba.
4 abamangala kukho, nxa lingagijimi ndawonye kulokhukuthululeka kwamanyala, belihlambaza;
Bukiedika, buabu balembo simina bu lunkambu buela zawula yawu mu luzingu lu kitsuza; balembo ku luvuezi.
5 abazaziphendulela kulowo olungele ukwahlulela abaphilayo labafileyo.
Vayi bela vumbula kipholo kiawu kuidi mutu wowo widi wukubama mu sambisa batu bobo badi moyo ayi bafua.
6 Ngoba ngenxa yalokhu ivangeli latshunyayelwa lakwabafileyo, ukuze bahlulelwe ngokwabantu enyameni, kodwa baphile ngokukaNkulunkulu emoyeni.
Kiawu kioki bila Nsamu Wumboti wunlongolo kuidi batu bobo bafua, mu diambu bu basambusulu mu nsuni banga batu bobo badi moyo, babaka bu zingila mu Pheve boso buididi Nzambi yi moyo.
7 Kodwa ukuphela kwezinto zonke sekusondele; ngakho qondani lilinde lisemikhulekweni;
Tsukulu yi mambu moso yeka nduka. Diawu lubika ba phulu yi dia ayi yi nua vayi luleka nkielo mu sambila.
8 kodwa phambi kwakho konke banini lothando oluvuthayo omunye komunye, ngoba uthando luzasibekela inkithinkithi yezono;
Vayi tuamina mambu moso luzolasananga beno na beno mu bukiedika, bila luzolo lueti fuka masumu mawombo.
9 phathanani kuhle ekwethekelaneni, ngaphandle kokusola;
Luyakula bumboti banzenza mu kambu maniunguta.
10 ngulowo lalowo njengesiphiwo asemukeleyo, kasisebenze omunye komunye, njengabaphathi abalungileyo bomusa kaNkulunkulu ozinhlobonhlobo;
Bika kadika mutu wutambula dikaba di kipheve kasadila diawu mu diambu di sadisa batu bankaka, banga nkebi wumboti wu nlemvo wu Nzambi; nlemvo wowo widi mu ziphila mu phila.
11 uba umuntu ekhuluma, kakhulume njengamazwi kaNkulunkulu; uba umuntu esebenza, kasebenze njengokuvela emandleni uNkulunkulu awanikayo; ukuze uNkulunkulu adunyiswe kuzo zonke izinto ngoJesu Kristu, okukuye ubukhosi lamandla kuze kube nini lanini. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
Enati mutu wulembo yoluka buna bika kayoluka banga mutu wunyoluka mambu ma Nzambi. Enati mutu wulembo sadila bankaka buna bika kasadila mu zingolo zivana Nzambi muingi mu mambu moso Nzambi kakemboso mu diambu di Yesu Klisto, bila niandi vuidi nkembo ayi lulendo mu zikhama zi zikhamazi mimvu. Amen! (aiōn g165)
12 Bathandekayo, lingamangali ngesilingo esitshisayo esiphezu kwenu esilihlolayo, ngokungathi lehlelwe yinto engaziwayo;
Bakundi bama, lubika simina mu diambu di zithotolo mu ziphasi ziozilulembo moni banga ti beno lubuilulu diambu di tsisi.
13 kodwa njengoba lihlanganyela inhlupheko zikaKristu, thokozani, ukuze kuthi lekwembulweni kwenkazimulo yakhe lithokoze lijabule kakhulu.
Vayi bika lumona khini bila lunnata ndambu yi ziphasi zi Klisto muingi beno mamveno lumona khini mu thangu kela monika mu nkemboꞌandi woso.
14 Uba lithukwa ngenxa yebizo likaKristu, libusisiwe; ngoba uMoya wenkazimulo lokaNkulunkulu uhlezi phezu kwenu; ngabo-ke uyathukwa, kodwa ngani uyadunyiswa.
Enati balembo lufingi mu diambu di dizina di Klisto buna bika lumona khinibila pheve yi nkembo ayi Pheve yi Nzambi yidi mu beno.
15 Kodwa kakungabi khona owakini ohlupheka njengombulali, loba isela, loba umenzi wokubi, loba njengozigaxa endabeni zabanye;
Bika mutu mu beno kabika mona phasi bu kavondidi mutu voti bu kayibidi, voti bu kavengi mambimbi voti bu kakotidi mu mambu mangana.
16 kodwa uba ehlupheka njengomKristu, kangabi lanhloni, kodwa kadumise uNkulunkulu ngenxa yalokhu.
Vayi disi diambu dimuena tsoni ko enati mutu wulembo moni phasi bila kadi “nkua Klisto”. Muaki bika kakembisa Nzambi mu diambu di dizina diodidi nkua Klisto.
17 Ngoba sekuyisikhathi sokuthi ukwahlulela kuqale endlini kaNkulunkulu; njalo uba kuqala kithi, kuzakuba yini ukuphela kwalabo abangalalelanga ivangeli likaNkulunkulu?
Bila thangu yifueni yifueti tona tsambusulu, yifueti tonina mu dikanda di bana ba Nzambi. Buna tala, enati kuidi beto kuntonina tsambusulu beni, buna buevi buela bela tsukulu yi batu bobo beti kambu tumukina Nsamu wumboti wu Nzambi e?
18 Uba-ke olungileyo esindiswa ngobulukhuni, oweyisa uNkulunkulu lesoni uzabonakala ngaphi?
Enati mutu wusonga wumvukila mu ziphasi ziwombo, buna buevi buela bela mutu wumbimbi ayi wu masumu e?
19 Ngakho-ke labo abahluphekayo ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu, njengakuMdali othembekileyo kabanikele eyabo imiphefumulo ekwenzeni okuhle.
Diawu batu bobo balembo moni ziphasi mu luzolo lu Nzambi, buna bika bakiyekula kuidi mvangi, niandi widi wukuikama; ayi bika batatamana vanganga mamboti.
