Singeniso
1 Lencwadzi iphuma kuJakobe, inceku yaNkulunkulu neyeNkhosi Jesu Khristu.
Iya etiveni letili-12 letisakatekile.
Kukholwa nekuhlakanipha
Ngiyanibingelela.
2 Bazalwane bami, nanehlelwa tinhlobonhlobo tetilingo, nibokutsatsa ngekutsi yinjabulo yodvwa, 3 nati kutsi kuvivinywa kwekukholwa kwenu kuveta kucinisela.
4Kucinisela kumele kucedzela umsebenti wako, kuze nivutfwe niphelele ningenasici, ningehlulwa lutfo. 5 Nangabe emkhatsini wenu kukhona loswele kuhlakanipha, akacele kuNkulunkulu lonika bonkhe bantfu ngekwephana lokungenakufehla, utawuphiwa. 6 Kepha locelako akacele ngekukholwa, angangabati; ngobe longabatako ufanana neligagasi lelwandle lelichutjwa litanyatanyiswe ngumoya. 7Ngako-ke umuntfu lonjalo angabocabanga kutsi iNkhosi iyawumemukelisa lutfo; 8 ungumuntfu lonetinhlitiyo letimbili, uyagucugucuka etindleleni takhe tonkhe.
Buphuya nekuceba
9 Umzalwane lophansi akatincome ngekuphakanyiswa kwakhe. 10 Kepha locebile akatincome ngekwehliswa kwakhe, ngobe uyakwendlula njengembali yesiganga.
11 Lilanga liphuma libalele libunise tjani, imbali yabo iyahhohloka, nebuhle bayo bunyamalale; kanjalo-ke nesicebi siyawunyamalala ekushiphanekeni kwaso.
Kuvivinywa nekulingwa
12 Ubusisiwe umuntfu lociniselako ekulingweni; ngobe nasaphumelele ekuvivinyweni kwakhe, uyakwemukeliswa umchele wekuphila lowetsenjiswa yiNkhosi kulabo labayitsandzako. 13Umuntfu lolingwako angabosho kutsi: “Ngilingwa nguNkulunkulu;” ngobe Nkulunkulu angeke alingwe ngalokubi, futsi akalingi muntfu. 14 Kepha ngulowo nalowo ulingwa ahuhwe tinkhanuko takhe, adudeke. 15 Nangabe inkhanuko seyitsatsile, itala sono; sono nase siphelele, sitala kufa.
16Bazalwane bami labatsandzekako, ningedukiswa. 17 Tonkhe tipho letinhle naletiphelele tivela ngetulu, tiphuma kuBabe uMdali wetibane tasesibhakabhakeni, lote kugucugucuka, njengobe tona tigucuka, tibohle tisishiya ebumnyameni. 18 Ngekwentsandvo yakhe wasitala ngelivi leliciniso, khona sitekuba ngematubulo ato tonkhe tidalwa takhe.
Kuva nekwenta livi
19 Bazalwane bami labatsandzekako, khumbulani naku: Ngulowo nalowo muntfu akasheshe kuva, ephute kukhuluma, ephute nekutfukutsela; 20ngobe lulaka lwemuntfu alukwenti kulunga lokungukona kwemukeleka kuNkulunkulu. 21 Ngako-ke lahlani yonkhe insila nalokubi lose kukunyenti, nemukele ngekutitfoba livi lelihlanyelwe kini, ngobe linemandla ekusindzisa imiphefumulo yenu.
22 Nibe benti belivi, ningabi balaleli kuphela nje, nitikhohlisa. 23 Ngobe nangabe umuntfu angumlaleli nje angesiye umenti welivi, lowo muntfu ufanana nemuntfu lobuka buso bakhe esibukweni: 24Umuntfu lonjalo uyatibuka, esuke ahambe akhohlwe kutsi abenjani.
25 Kepha lobukisisa emtsetfweni losikhululako bese uhamba ngawo, angabi ngumlaleli lokhohlwako kepha abe ngulowentako, lowo-ke utawuba ngulobusisiwe ekwenteni kwakhe.
26 Umuntfu locabanga kutsi uyakholwa, abe angalubophi lulwimi lwakhe, uyatikhohlisa enhlitiyweni yakhe, nekukholwa kwalowo muntfu kulite. 27 Kukholwa lokumsulwa lokungenasici embikwaNkulunkulu longuBabe ngunaku: kuhambela tintsandzane nebafelokati elusizini lwabo, nekutigcina ungangcoliswa live.
