Kutiphatsa kwebabonisi nalabasha
1 Ngako ngiyabancenga babonisi labasemkhatsini wenu, njengobe nami ngingumbonisi kanye nabo, ngingufakazi wetinhlupheko taKhristu, nemhlanganyeli ebukhosini lobutakwembulwa, ngitsi: 2 Yelusani umhlambi waNkulunkulu leniwuphetse, hhayi ngekucindzetelwa, kodvwa ngenhlitiyo levumako njengobe Nkulunkulu atsandza kutsi nente, hhayi ngekunaka inkhokhelo nje, kodvwa ngenshisekelo yekukhonta. 3 Ningatenti emakhosi etikwalabo lenibaphetse, kodvwa nibe tibonelo letinhle emhlambini leniwelusile. 4 Mhlazana kubonakala uMelusi Lomkhulu, niyakwemukela umchele webukhosi longagugi.
5 Nani-ke, labasha, batfobeleni babonisi. Nonkhe yembatsani kutfobeka, nitfobelane, ngobe:
“Nkulunkulu umelana nalabatigcabhako,
kodvwa labatfobekile ubapha umusa.”
6 Ngako-ke titfobeni ngephansi kwesandla lesinemandla saNkulunkulu, kuze ateniphakamisa ngesikhatsi lesifanele. 7 Lahlelani kuye konkhe kukhatsateka kwenu, ngobe yena uyanikhatsalela.
8 Zitsani, nilindze. Sitsa senu, Sathane, siyajangaza emkhatsini wenu njengelibhubesi lelibhodlako, sitfungatsa lesingahle simmite. 9 Melanani naso nicinile ekukholweni, nati kutsi tona leto tinhlupheko tiyabehlela nebazalwane benu labasemhlabeni wonkhe. 10 Emvakwekuhlupheka kwalesikhashana Nkulunkulu wemusa wonkhe, lowanibitela kutsi nihlanganyele naKhristu ebukhosini baphakadze, yena matfupha uyawuniphelelisa, anakhe anicinise, anitintise. 11 Kuye akube ngemandla phakadze naphakadze. Amen.
Imikhontiso yekugcina
12 Nginibhalele lencwajana ngisitwa nguSilasi lengimati kutsi ungumzalwane lowetsembekile. Ngiyanikhutsata ngifakaza kutsi konkhe loku ngiwo sibili umusa waNkulunkulu; ngako-ke manini nicine kulowo musa.
13 Liyanihambisa libandla lelikhetsiwe leliseBhabhulona; naMakho, indvodzana yami, uyanihambisa. 14 Bingelelanani ngekwangana kwelutsandvo lwebuzalwane.
Kuthula akube kini nonkhe lenikuKhristu.
