Uqeqesho maluthotyelwe ngokomzekelo kaKristu
1Ngako oko ke, sínelifu elingakanana nje elisingqongileyo lamangqina, masithi nathi, siwubekile nxamnye wonke umthwalo, naso isono esinokusirhawula ngokusisulu, silubaleke ngomonde ugqatso olubekwe phambi kwethu; 2sise amehlo kuyo iMbangi noMgqibelelisi wokholo lwethu, uYesu, owathi, ngenxa yovuyo olwalubekwe phambi kwakhe, wawunyamezela umnqamlezo, elidelile ihlazo, waza wahlala phantsi ngasekunene kwetrone kaThixo.
3Ewe, mqondeni lowo ukunyamezeleyo ukumphikisa okungaka kwaboni, ukuze ningadinwa, ingatyhafi imiphefumlo yenu. 4Anikachasi kude kube segazini, nizamana naso isono. 5Kananjalo senilulibele uvuselelo olu, luthetha kuni ngathi kukoonyana, lusithi,
Nyana wam, musa ukukucekisa ukuqeqesha kweNkosi,
Kananjalo ungatyhafi wakohlwaywa yiyo;
6Kuba lowo imthandayo iNkosi iyamqeqesha,
Ibatyakatye ke bonke oonyana ebamkelayo.
(ImiZek. 3:11,12)
7Ukuba ninyamezela uqeqesho, uThixo woba uniphethe njengoonyana; kuba nguwuphi na unyana ongàqeqeshwayo nguyise? 8Ukuba ke aniqeqeshwa, abathe baba ngamadlelane ngalo bonke, noba nina niyimigqakhwe ngoko, aningoonyana. 9Kananjalo sibe sinabo oobawo benyama okunene besiqeqesha, sabahlonela; asiyi kuthi ngakumbi na sithobele uYise woomoya bonke, sidle ubomi? 10Kuba bona okunene basiqeqesha imihla embalwa, ngokokuzithandela kwabo, kodwa yena usiqeqeshela okusilungeleyo, ukuze sahlulelane ngobungcwele bakhe. 11Lonke ke uqeqesho okunene ngokwakalokunje alubonakali luluvuyo, lubonakala luyintlungu; kodwa kamva lubanika isiqhamo esiluxolo, oko kukuthi sobulungisa, abo baqhelisiweyo lulo.
12Kungoko endithi, Zimiseni izandla eziwileyo, namadolo anedumbe; 13iinyawo zenu nizenzele imizila ethe tye, ukuze into eqhwalelayo ingaphambuki endleleni, kanye ke iphiliswe.
14Phuthumani uxolo nabo bonke, nobungcwele, ekungekho namnye uya kuyibona iNkosi, engenabo; 15nivelela, ukuze kungabikho bani usilelayo elubabalweni lukaThixo, kungabikho ngcambu yabukrakra, ithi ivele ihlume, inikhathaze, bathi abaninzi badyojwe yiyo; 16kungabikho bani ulihenyu, nokuba ngumhlambeli, njengoEsawu, owathi ngenxa yentwana yokudla wananisa ngobuzibulo bakhe. 17Kuba niyazi ukuba wathi kamva, ethanda ukuyidla ilifa intsikelelo, walahlwa; kuba akafumananga thuba languquko, noko wayingxamelayo ngeenyembezi.
Ingozi enkulu yokungaliphulaphuli ilizwi likaThixo ngexesha lomnqophiso omtsha
18Kuba anisondelanga ntabeni iphathwayo, itshayo ngumlilo, nasithokothokweni, nabumnyameni, naluqhwitheleni, 19nasandini saxilongo, nasithongeni samazwi, abathe abo basiváyo bacela kabukhali, ukuba kungabi sathethwa lizwi kubo. 20Kuba babengenakukuthwala oko babeyalwa ngako; nokuba ithe inkomo yayichukumisa intaba, ibiya kuxulutywa ngamatye, ithi mhlawumbi ibinzwe ngomkhonto; 21yaza loo nto yabonakalayo yoyikeka, kangangokuba uMoses athi, Ndiyoyika kakhulu, ndiyagubha. 22Nisuké nina nafika eZiyon, entabeni nasemzini woThixo ophilileyo, kwiYerusalem yasemazulwini, nakumawakawaka ezithunywa zezulu, 23kwingqungquthela, nakwibandla lamazibulo abhaliweyo emazulwini, nakuThixo, uMgwebi wabo bonke, nakoomoya bamalungisa agqibeleleyo, 24nakuMlamleli womnqophiso omtsha, uYesu, nakwigazi lokufefa, elithetha ezona zinto zilungileyo kunelika-Abheli.
25Lumkani, ningamali lowo uthethayo. Ukuba ke abo, bamaláyo lowo wahlabayo izihlabo emhlabeni, abasindanga, kobeka phi na ke ukugqithisela kokungasindi kwethu, thina bamnikela umva lowo uhlaba esemazulwini; 26olizwi oko lawuzamazamisayo umhlaba; ngoku ke ubeke ngedinga, esithi, Kusaya kuba ngumzuzwana endiya kuthi mna ndinganyikimisi mhlaba wodwa, ndinyikimise nalo izulu. 27Oku kùthi ke, Kusaya kuba ngumzuzwana, kubonakalalisa ukuguqulwa kwezinto ezizanyazanyiswayo, ngathi kokwezenziweyo, ukuze zihlale zona ezingenakuzanyazanyiswa.
28Masithi ngoko, sisamkela ubukumkani obungenakuzanyazanyiswa nje, sibe nombulelo, simkhonze ngawo uThixo ngokukholekileyo, sinokuhlonela nokoyika; 29kuba uThixo wethu ungumlilo odlayo.
