Bafundzisi nebaphrofethi bemanga
(Juda v. 4-13)
1 Nakadzeni babevele bakhona baphrofethi bemanga emkhatsini wesive, kanjalo-ke nalapha emkhatsini wenu batawuvela baphrofethi bemanga, labatawungenisa timfundziso temanga letibhubhisako, baphike uMbusi lowabatsenga, ngaloko-ke batawube batidvonsela kubhujiswa lokusheshisako. 2 Labanyenti bayawulandzela lawo manyala abo; ngenca yabo indlela yeliciniso iyawuhlanjalatwa. 3 Ngenca yebudli babo bayawutsengiselana ngani ngemavi ebucili. Kusukela emandvulweni kulahlwa kwabo akulibali, nekubhujiswa kwabo akweteli.
4 Nkulunkulu akazange atiyekele tingilosi letona, kodvwa watilahla kalasha emigodzini yebumnyama bebumnyama, kutsi titewugcinelwa kwehlulelwa. 5 Nkulunkulu akazange awuyekele umhlaba wakadzeni, kodvwa wamlondvolota Nowa, umshumayeli wekulunga, kanye nalabanye lababesikhombisa, ngesikhatsi aletsa zamcolo emhlabeni walababengamesabi Nkulunkulu. 6 Emadolobha aseSodoma naseGomora Nkulunkulu wawalahla ngelicala, wase uwabhubhisa ngemlilo, aphela nya, aba ngumlotsa; wawenta aba sibonelo kulabo labangayiwumesaba Nkulunkulu. 7 Nkulunkulu wamsindzisa Loti labelungile; Loti abesavele asakhatsateke kakhulu, ngenca yekuhamba ngemanyala kwabo labangenamtsetfo. 8 Lendvodza lelungile lebeyihlala emkhatsini wabo, onkhe emalanga beyidzatjukiswa kuva nekubona tento tabo letimbi tekungamesabi Nkulunkulu, umphefumulo wayo lolungile weva buhlungu. 9 INkhosi iyakwati kubakhulula ekulingweni labo labesaba Nkulunkulu; kodvwa labangakalungi ibagcinela kujeziswa ngelilanga lekwehlulelwa, 10 ikakhulu labo labahamba etinkhanukweni temvelo tekutingcolisa, bedzelela baphatsi.
Bangemaphikankhani, bayatigcabha, abesabi nekuhlambalata benkhatimulo; 11 kantsi ngisho netingilosi, letinkhulu kakhulu kunabo ngebuchawe nangemandla, atibahlambalati labo bantfu ngekubamangalela embikweNkhosi. 12Kodvwa labantfu labahlambalatako banjengetilwane tesiganga letingenangcondvo, ngekwemvelo titalelwe kubanjwa nekubulawa. Bahlambalata ngetintfo labangatati; kodvwa batawubhujiswa kanye naleto tilwane. 13 Bayakwemukeliswa buhlungu, ngobe nabo bevisa buhlungu. Kujabula kwabo kumita nekutamasa, ngisho nasemini imbala. Yebo, balihlazo nendlisamahloni nase bahlanganyela nani edzilini ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi, batijabulisa ngetinkhanuko tabo. 14Emehlo abo agcwele buphingi, anamatsele esonweni; baholela labo lababutsakatsaka elugibeni; tinhlitiyo tabo tetayele bukhali. Bangaphansi kwesicalekiso. 15 Bashiye indlela lecondzile bedukela endleleni yaBhalamu, umsa waBheyori, lowatsandza umvuzo lomubi. 16Kodvwa wekhutwa ngaloko kona kwakhe: Imbongolo lesimungulu yakhuluma ngelivi lemuntfu, yakuvimbela loko kuhlanya kwalowo mphrofethi.
17 Labo bantfu bayimitfombo lete emanti, batinkhungu letichutjwa sivunguvungu; bagcinelwe bunyama bebumnyama. 18 Bakhuluma emagama lalite, bayenge ngetinkhanuko nangemanyala labo labasandza kuphunyula kulabedukako. 19 Babetsembisa inkhululeko, kantsi bona ngekwabo batigcili tekubhubha; ngobe loko lokumehlulako umuntfu, usigcili sako. 20 Ngobe nangabe kungcoliswa ngulomhlaba bakubalekele ngekwati iNkhosi lenguMsindzisi wetfu Jesu Khristu, baphindze behlulwa ngiko, sigcino sabo sibi kakhulu kunesicalo sabo. 21 Lokungenani bekuyawuba ncono kubo kube mane abazange sebayati indlela yekulunga, kunekutsi batsi sebayatile baphindze bawufulatsele umyalo longcwele lababenikwe wona. 22 Kubehlele njengobe saga lesicinisile sitsi:
“Inja seyibuyele emahlanteni ayo,” nekutsi:
“Ingulube igezwe cedze yabuyela
yayawubhocota eludzakeni.”
