1 Nkulunkulu ngemusa wakhe wasiniketa lenkonzo; ngiko nje singadzinwa. 2 Sesiyilahle yonkhe imisebenti yebumnyama neyelihlazo asiphili ngebucili, asiliphambanisi livi laNkulunkulu, kepha sibeka liciniso laNkulunkulu ebaleni, kunembeza webantfu bonkhe embikwaNkulunkulu. 3 Kepha nangabe liVangeli letfu lifihlakele, lifihlakele kuphela kulabo labalahlekako. 4 Ngobe kubo labangakholwa nkulunkulu walomhlaba uphumphutsekise tingcondvo tabo, kuze kungasi kubo kukhanya kweliVangeli lenkhatimulo yaKhristu, lofute Nkulunkulu. 5 Asitishumayeli tsine, kodvwa sishumayela kutsi Khristu Jesu uyiNkhosi, tsine-ke sitisebenti tenu ngenca yakhe. 6 Ngobe yena lowo Nkulunkulu lowatsi: “Akuvele kukhanya ebumnyameni,” nguye futsi lokhanyise etinhlitiyweni tetfu, kuze sikwati kubona inkhatimulo yaNkulunkulu ebusweni baKhristu.
7 Kepha lamagugu lesinawo siwaphetse ngetitja telibumba. Loko kubonakalisa kutsi lamandla lamakhulu kangaka akasiwo etfu kepha ngaNkulunkulu. 8Sicindzetelwa ndzawo tonkhe, kodvwa asibotfoki; siyacakeka, kodvwa asipheli emandla. 9 Siyatingelwa, kodvwa Nkulunkulu akasilahli, siyamukulwa siwiswe phansi, kodvwa asibhujiswa. 10 Solomane setfwala njalo emitimbeni yetfu kufa kwaJesu, kuze kutsi nekuphila kwakhe kubonakaliswe emitimbeni yetfu. 11 Ngobe tsine, nome sisaphila, sinikelwa mihla le ekufeni, ngenca yaJesu, kuze kutsi nekuphila kwakhe kubonakaliswe emitimbeni yetfu lefako. 12 Kanjalo-ke kitsi kusebenta kufa, kepha kini kusebenta kuphila.
13 UmBhalo utsi: “Ngangikholwa kuNkulunkulu, ngako ngakhuluma.” Natsi futsi sinawo lowo moya wekukholwa kuNkulunkulu, ngako-ke sikhuluma 14 sati kutsi yena lowo Nkulunkulu lowavusa iNkhosi Jesu, natsi uyawusivusa kanye naJesu asetfule kanye nani kuye. 15 Ngobe konkhe loko kwentelwa nine, kuze kutsi umusa usenabela kubantfu labanyenti, kwandziswe kubonga kwabo, kube ludvumo kuNkulunkulu.
Kuphila ngekukholwa
16 Ngako-ke asidzinwa; nome lingephandle letfu libhubha, kodvwa lingekhatsi lentiwa libe lisha imihla ngemihla. 17 Ngobe lolusizi lwetfu luncane futsi lwesikhashana, lusilungiselela inkhatimulo lengenawulinganiswa, yaphakadze. 18Tsine asibheki lokubonakalako kodvwa lokungabonakali, ngobe loko lokubonakalako kwesikhashana nje, kepha loko lokungabonakali kwaphakadze.
