Kukhonta Nkulunkulu ngesiphiwo lonaso
1 Ngako-ke, bazalwane, njengobe Nkulunkulu ube nesihawu lesikhulu kangaka kitsi, ngiyanincenga ngitsi nikelani imitimba yenu ibe ngumnikelo lophilako, nalongcwele, nalowemukeleka kuNkulunkulu; leyo-ke nguyona nkonzo yenu sibili. 2 Ningalilingisi lelive, kodvwa niguculwe ngekwentiwa kabusha kwengcondvo yenu, khona nitekwati kuhlolisisa loko lokuyintsandvo yaNkulunkulu, nikwati lokuhle, nalokwemukelekako, nalokuphelele.
3 Ngenca yesipho semusa saNkulunkulu kimi, ngitsi kini nonkhe: Ningacabangi kutsi nibakhulu kunaloku leningiko. Esikhundleni saloko zitsani ekucabangeni kwenu, ngulowo nalowo atehlulele ngebungako bekukholwa kwakhe lakunikwe nguNkulunkulu. 4 Njengobe umtimba umunye unetitfo letinyenti, tonkhe leto titfo tinemisebenti leyehlukene, 5 kanjalo-ke, natsi sibanyenti nje singumtimba munye kuKhristu, sititfo letehlukene lesinye kulesinye. 6 Ngako kufanele sisebentise tipho tetfu letehlukene ngekwemusa lesinikwe wona: Nakusekuphrofetha, asisisebentise ngekwesilinganiso sekukholwa kwetfu; 7 nakungusenkonzweni yemsebenti, asitinikele kuyo; umfundzisi akasebentise sipho sakhe ekufundziseni. 8 Lonesipho sekukhutsata labanye, akabakhutsate; lowabako akwente ngekungakhetsi; longumholi ahole ngesineke, lonesihawu, akasente ngekujabula.
Imiyalo ngemphilo yebuKhristu
9 Lutsandvo kufanele lubete kutentisa.
Tondzani lokubi,
nibambisise lokuhle.
10 Tsandzanani
ngelutsandvo lwebuzalwane,
nijakiselane ngekuhloniphana.
11 Khutsalani,
ningaphelelwa ngumdlandla,
nivutse emoyeni, nikhonte iNkhosi.
12 Tfokotani etsembeni,
nibeketele elusizini,
nicinisele njalo emthandazweni.
13 Hlanganyelani nalabangcwele
ekwesweleni kwabo,
nikhutsale ekungeniseni tihambi.
14 Busisani labanitingelela kunihlupha;
yebo, nibusise ningacalekisi.
15 Nijabule nalabajabulako,
nikhale nalabakhalako.
16 Nibambisane ngamoya munye nonkhe.
Ningafisi lokuphakeme,
kodvwa nibe nebudlelwane nalabatfobekile.
Ningacabangi kutsi nihlakaniphile.
17 Ningabuyiseli kunobe ngubani
lokubi ngalokubi,
kodvwa yentani lokubonakala kukuhle
emehlweni abo bonkhe bantfu.
18 Nakunekwenteka,
yentani konkhe lokusemandleni enu
kutsi nihlalisane ngekuthula nebantfu bonkhe.
19 Bazalwane bami, ningatiphindziseleli,
kodvwa yekelelani konkhe
elulakeni lwaNkulunkulu;
ngobe kubhaliwe kutsi:
“Kuphindzisela ngekwami,
mine ngiyawubuyisela,
kusho iNkhosi.”
20 Cha, “nangabe sitsa sakho silambile,
siphe kudla, nangabe somile, sinatsise;
ngobe ngekwenta njalo
utawube umtsela ngemahloni ekutisola.”
21 Ningehlulwa ngulokubi,
kodvwa yehlulani lokubi ngalokuhle.
