Uku­be­kwa kwa­ba­da­la be­ba­ndla. Aba­fu­ndi­si ba­ma­nga

5 Nge­nxa ya­lo­khu nga­ku­tshi­yat eKre­teu, uku­ze ulu­ngi­se le­zo­zi­ntov ezi­se­le­yow, nja­lo ube­kex aba­da­la ku­wo wo­nke umu­ziy, nje­ngo­ba mi­na nga­ku­la­yaz;

6 uba ku­kho­naa onga­so­le­ki­yo, indo­da elo­mfa­zi mu­nyeb, ela­ba­ntwa­na aba­kho­lwa­yoc, aba­nga­so­lwa ngo­ku­ga­nga, lo­ba ngo­ku­nga­la­le­lid.

7 Ngo­ba ku­fa­ne­le umbo­ni­sie abe ngo­nga­so­le­ki­yof, nje­ngo­mpha­thi­ndlu ka­Nku­lu­nku­lug; onga­yi­si­so si­qho­loh, onga­thu­ku­the­li ma­si­nya­ne, onge­si­so si­da­kwa, onga­tha­ndi uku­lwa, onga­fi­si inzu­zo embi,

8 ko­dwa opha­tha ku­hle izi­ha­mbi, otha­nda oku­hlei, ozi­pha­tha­yo, oqo­ndi­le­yo, ongcwe­le, ozi­thi­nta­yoj,

9 eba­mbe­le­lak eli­zwi­ni eli­the­mbe­ki­le­yol nje­ngo­kwe­mfu­ndi­som, uku­ze la­ye aben la­ma­ndla oku­khu­tha­za nge­mfu­ndi­so ephi­li­le­yoo, lo­kwe­hlu­la la­bo aba­le­nka­nip.

10 Ngo­ba ku­la­ba­ne­ngi la­bo aba­nga­la­le­li­yoq, aba­khu­lu­ma oku­yi­zer la­ba­kho­hli­sa­yos, ika­khu­lu la­bo abo­ku­so­kat,

11 imi­lo­mo ya­bo ime­le uku­fa­kwa isa­ye­ke, aba­ge­nqu­la imi­zi yo­nke, be­fu­ndi­sa izi­nto ezi­nga­fa­ne­la­ngau, nge­nxa ye­nzu­zo embiv.

12 Omu­nye ki­bo, owa­bo umpro­fe­thiw, wa­thi: Ama­Kre­te ahle­zi enga­ba­qa­mbi­ma­nga, izi­lo ezi­mbix, izi­mi­nzi ezi­vi­la­pha­yoy.

13 Lo­bu­bu­fa­ka­zi bu­qi­ni­si­le. Nga­le­so­si­za­tho ba­la­yi­si­sez ngo­bu­kha­lia, uku­ze ba­phi­le ekho­lwe­nib,

14 ba­nga­la­le­lic inga­ne­kwa­ne za­ma­Ju­dad, le­mi­the­tho ya­ba­ntue aba­fu­la­the­la iqi­ni­sof.

15 Kwa­ba­hla­mbu­lu­ki­le­yo ko­nke ku­hla­mbu­lu­ki­leg; ko­dwa kwa­ba­ngco­li­le­yo la­ba­nga­kho­lwa­yo ka­ku­la­lu­tho olu­hla­nze­ki­le­yoh; ko­dwa le­ngqo­ndo le­za­ze­la za­bo ku­ngco­li­lei.

16 Ba­vu­ma uku­thi ba­ya­ma­zi uNku­lu­nku­luj, ko­dwa bemphi­kak nge­ze­nzol, be­se­nya­nye­ka, la­ba­nga­la­le­li­yom, la­ku­wo wo­nke umse­be­nzi omu­hle ka­ba­si­zi lu­thon.

Uku­ha­mba oku­qo­tho

2Ko­dwa we­na khu­lu­ma izi­nto ezi­fa­ne­le imfu­ndi­so ephi­li­le­yoa.

2 Ama­do­da ama­da­lab uku­thi azi­thi­ntec, ahlo­ni­phe­ked, enga­qo­ndi­le­yoe, ephi­li­lefg ekho­lwe­nih, etha­ndwe­nii, eku­be­ke­ze­le­nij;

3 abe­si­fa­za­na aba­da­la ngo­ku­nja­lo uku­thi ba­zi­pha­the ngo­ku­fa­ne­le aba­ngcwe­lek, ba­nga­bi nga­ba­hle­ba­yol, ba­nga­fu­ywa li­wa­yi­ni eli­ne­ngi, aba­fu­ndi­si bo­ku­hlem,

4 uku­ze ba­fu­ndi­se abe­si­fa­za­na aba­tsha uku­thi ba­qo­nde, ba­be­nga­ba­tha­ndi ba­bo­mka­bo, ba­tha­nde aba­ntwa­na ba­bon,

5 aba­qo­ndi­le­yo, be­mhlo­pheop, be­gci­na ama­kha­ya, be­lu­ngi­leq, be­ze­hli­se­la nga­pha­nsi kwa­wa­bo ama­do­dar, uku­ze ili­zwi li­ka­Nku­lu­nku­lu li­nga­du­nya­zwas.

6 Abe­si­li­sa aba­tsha ngo­ku­nja­lo uba­khu­tha­zet uku­thi ba­be nga­ba­qo­ndi­le­youv;

7 ma­ye­la­na la­zo zo­nke izi­nto zi­tshe­ngi­sew uyi­si­bo­ne­lo se­ze­nzo ezi­nhlex: Eku­fu­ndi­se­ni oku­nga­bo­la­ngay, ubu­nzu­luz, uku­qo­ndaa,

8 ili­zwi eli­phi­li­le­yo, eli­nga­so­le­ki­yob; uku­ze ome­la­na lanic abe le­nhlo­nid, aswe­le ulu­tho olu­bi anga­lu­khu­lu­ma nga­ni.

9 Khu­tha­za izi­gqi­li uku­thi zi­ze­hli­se­le nga­pha­nsi kwa­wa­zo ama­kho­si, zi­kho­le­ke ezi­ntwe­ni zo­nke, zi­nga­phi­ki­sie,

10 zi­nga­ntsho­ntshi, ko­dwa zi­tshe­ngi­se ko­nke uku­the­mbe­ka oku­hlef, uku­ze zi­ce­ci­seg imfu­ndi­soh ka­Nku­lu­nku­lu uMsi­ndi­si we­thu ezi­ntwe­ni zo­nkei.

11 Ngo­ba ubo­na­ke­lej umu­sa ka­Nku­lu­nku­luk osi­ndi­sa­yol eba­ntwi­ni bo­nkem,

12 usi­fu­ndi­sa uku­thi, si­de­le uku­nga­kho­nzi uNku­lu­nku­lun le­nka­nu­ko zo­mhla­bao, si­phi­le ngo­ku­qo­nda la­ngo­ku­lu­nga la­ngo­kwe­sa­ba uNku­lu­nku­lup emhla­be­ni wa­kha­the­siq,

13 si­li­nde­ler ithe­mba eli­bu­si­si­we­yos lo­ku­bo­na­ka­lat kwe­nka­zi­mu­lou ka­Nku­lu­nku­lu omkhu­luv lo­Msi­ndi­si we­thu uJe­su Kri­stuw,

14 owa­zi­ni­ke­le­la thi­nax, uku­ze asi­hle­nge ebu­bi­ni bo­nkey, azi­hla­mbu­lu­le­lez isi­zwe esi­khe­the­ki­le­yoa, esi­tshi­se­ke­la imi­se­be­nzi emi­hleb.

15 Khu­lu­ma le­zi­zi­nto, ukhu­tha­zec, ukhu­ze ula­ma­ndla wo­nked. Ku­nga­bi kho­na umu­ntu oku­de­le­la­yoe.

3Ba­khu­mbu­zea uku­thi ba­ze­hli­se­le nga­pha­nsi kwa­ba­bu­si le­zi­pha­tha­ma­ndlab, baba­la­le­le, ba­lu­nge­le wo­nke umse­be­nzi omu­hlec,

2 ba­nga­hle­bi mu­ntud, ba­nga­bi yi­zi­lwie, ba­be­ke­ze­lef, ba­tshe­ngi­se bo­nke ubu­mne­ne eba­ntwi­ni bo­nkeg.

3 Ngo­ba la­thih ka­dei sa­si­yi­zi­phu­ku­phu­kuj, si­nga­la­le­lik, si­kho­hli­swa, si­se­be­nze­la inka­nu­ko le­nto­ko­zo ezi­ne­ngi­ne­ngil, si­phi­la ebu­bi­nimn le­mo­ne­nio, si­zo­nde­ka, si­zo­nda­na.

4 Ko­dwa la­pho se­ku­bo­na­ke­lep umu­sa lo­tha­ndoq lu­ka­Nku­lu­nku­lu uMsi­ndi­si we­thu ku­ba­ntur,

5 ku­nge­yi­si­kho oku­ve­la eze­nzwe­ni zo­ku­lu­nga esa­ze­nza­yo thi­nas, ko­dwa nje­ngo­kwe­si­ha­wu sa­khe wa­si­si­ndi­sat, ngo­ku­ge­zi­swauv ko­ku­za­lwa ku­tshaw lo­ku­vu­se­le­lwax ko­Mo­ya oNgcwe­ley,

6 owa­mthu­lu­la ngo­kwe­nge­ze­le­lwe­yo1 phe­zu kwe­thu, ngo­Je­su Kri­stu uMsi­ndi­si we­thuz,

7 uku­ze si­lu­ngi­si­swe ngo­mu­sa wa­khea, si­be yi­zi­ndla­li­fab ngo­kwe­the­mba le­mpi­lo ela­pha­ka­decd.

8 Li­the­mbe­ki­le ili­zwie, nja­lo ngi­tha­nda uku­thi uqi­ni­se isi­bi­li nga­le­zi­zi­ntof, uku­ze aba­kho­lwa ku­Nku­lu­nku­lu ba­khu­tha­le­le uku­ma emi­se­be­nzi­ni emi­hleg. Le­zi yi­zi­nto ezi­nhle ezi­lo­si­zo eba­ntwi­ni;

9 ko­dwa xwa­yah imi­bu­zo yo­bu­thu­thai le­nda­ba zo­se­ndo olo­ku­za­la­na lo­mba­ngo lo­ku­phi­ki­sa­na ngo­mla­yoj; ngo­ba ka­zi­si­zi fu­thi zi­yi­zek.

10 Umu­ntu obha­zu­ka­yol emva kwe­si­la­yo so­ku­qa­la le­se­si­bi­lim, mde­leno,

11 usa­zi uku­thi onja­lo upha­mbu­ki­le, uyo­nap, uya­zi­la­hla ye­naq.

Isi­ci­no

12 Nxa ngi­za­thu­ma uA­rte­ma ku­we lo­ba uTi­ki­kor, khu­tha­la uze ki­mi eNi­ka­po­lis; ngo­ba ngi­zi­mi­se­le uku­hla­la kho­na ebu­si­kat.

13 Khu­tha­la unce­di­se uZe­nau isa­zu­mthe­thov loA­po­lo­siw eku­ha­mbe­ni kwa­bo, uku­ze ku­nga­bi la­lu­tho olu­swe­la­ka­la­yo ku­box.

14 Aba­ki­thi-ke la­bo ka­ba­fu­nde uku­ma emi­se­be­nzi­ni emi­hley yo­ku­di­nge­ka­yo ku­swe­le­kaz, uku­ze ba­nga­bi nga­ba­nge­la­zi­the­loa.

15 Bo­nke aba­la­mi ba­ya­ku­bi­nge­le­la. Bi­nge­le­la aba­si­tha­nda­yo ekho­lwe­ni.

Umu­sa ka­wu­be la­ni lo­nke. Ame­nib.
