Ilanga leKosi
1Bathandekako, le sele kuyincwadi yesibili enginitlolele yona. Kizo zombili ngilingile ukuvusa imicabango yenu ehluzekileko ngokunikhumbuza; 2iye, kobana nikhumbule amezwi akhulunywe baphorofidi abacwengileko nemiyalo yeKosi noMsindisi ngabapostoli benu. 3Kokuthoma kufuze nizwisise lokhu bonyana emalangeni wokuphela kuzakufika abanyefuli banyefule balandele iinkanuko zabo zokonakala 4basithi: “Siphi isithembiso sokuza kwakhe ngombana soloko kwalala abobaba, zoke izinto ziraga njengombana bezinjalo kusukela ekuthomeni kwendalo.” 5Yeke bathanda ukukhohlwa lokhu bona kwekadeni amazulu bekavele akhona ngelizwi lakaZimu, nokobana iphasi ladaleka emanzini begodu ngamanzi lanzinza; 6okwathi ngawo amanzi, ilizwe ebelikhona labhubha ngokurhurhulwa. 7Kodwana ngelizwelo izulu nephasi okukhona gadesi kubekelwe umlilo, kulondiwe bekube lilanga lokugwetjwa nelokubhujiswa kwabangamesabiko uZimu.
8Yeke-ke bathandekako, ningalibali bona kuSomnini ilanga elilodwa lifana nekulungwana yinye yeminyaka, neminyaka eyikulungwana ifana nelanga elilodwa. 9USomnini akasibuthaka ngesithembiso sakhe njengombana abanye bacabanga. Kunalokho uyaninyamezelela, akathandi bonyana kubhubhe namunye, kodwana kobana boke baphenduke.
10Kodwana ilanga lakaSomnini lizakufika njengesela, nje-ke amazulu azakudlula ngokukhulu ukuhlokoma, koke kuzakupheliswa ngomlilo, iphasi nemisebenzi ekilo kuzakutjhiswa. 11Njengombana zoke izintwezi zizakupheliswa, alo-ke kufanele nibe babantu abanjani epilweni yokucwenga nekumesabeni uZimu na? 12Iye, ekulindeleni nekurhabeleni ukufika kwelanga lakaZimu ngombana amazulu azakuthungelwa ngomlilo apheliswe nakho koke kuzakuncibilikiswa ngomlilo! 13Kodwana ukuya ngokwesithembiso sakhe, silindele amazulu amatjha nephasi elitjha, lapho kuyokuba khona ukulunga.
14Ngalokho-ke bathandekako, njengombana nilindele lokhu, tjhisekelelani bona nifunyanwe nguye ninokuthula begodu ninganabala namkha umphambo, 15nizibalele ukunyamezela kwakaSomnini njengesindiso. Kube njengombana nomzalwana wethu othandekako uPowula anitlolelako ukuya ngokuhlakanipha akuphiweko, 16nakakhuluma ngalokhu eencwadini zakhe zoke. Kukhona ezinye zezinto ezibukhuni ukuzizwisisa, okuzizinto abanganalemuko nabangakaqini bazihlanakezelela ukubhujiswa kwabo, njengombana benza nakezinye iincwadi zemitlolo.
17Ngalokho nina bathandekako, njengombana senikwazi lokhu, yelelani, nakungasinjalo ningahle nithatheke ngemitjhapho yabantu abangenamthetho beze niwe ekuqineni kwenu. 18Kodwana khulani emseni nelwazini leKosethu noMsindisi uJesu Krestu.
Idumo alibe kuye gadesi bekube ngokungapheliko. Amen.
