KAPETROS II 3

Imini yokuza kukaKristu
1Ngoku ndinibhalela, zintanda, le ncwadi iyeyesibini, endithi kuzo zombini ndiyivuselele ingqondo yenu engcwengekileyo ngokunikhumbuza; 2ukuba níwakhumbule amazwi abethethiwe ngenxa engaphambili ngabaprofeti abangcwele, nawo umthetho wabapostile• bethu beNkosi uMsindisi; 3nikwazi nje oku kuqala, ukuba kuya kuza ngemihla yokugqibela abagxeki, behamba ngokwezabo iinkanuko, besithi, 4Liphi na kaloku idinga lokufika kwakhe? Kuba kuseloko oobawo balalayo ukufa, izinto zonke zahlala zihleli zinjengokwasekuqalekeni kwendalo.
5Kuba oku kufihlakele kubo ngokuthanda kwabo, ukuba izulu laye likho kwakudala, nomhlaba uvele emanzini, umi ngamanzi, ngalo ilizwi likaThixo; 6elathi ngezo zinto ihlabathi langoko lantywiliselwa ngamanzi, latshabalala. 7Ke lona izulu langoku, nawo umhlaba lo, kwangelo lizwi ezo zinto ziqwetyelwe, zigcinelwe, umlilo, kuse kwimini yomgwebo nentshabalalo yabantu abangahloneli Thixo.
8Le nto ke inye mayingafihlakali kuni, zintanda, ukuba phambi kweNkosi imini enye injengeminyaka eliwaka, neminyaka eliwaka injengemini enye. 9INkosi ayilibali dinga, njengoko abathile baba iyalibala; isuka izeke kade umsindo kuthi, ingangi kungatshabalala nabani; inga bonke bangasinga enguqukweni. 10Iya kufika ke imini yeNkosi njengesela ebusuku, eliya kuthi ngayo izulu lidlule liqhuqhumba, zithi ke iziqalelo zitshe, zichithakale, nomhlaba nayo imisebenzi ekuwo itshiswe kuthi tu.
Imfuneko yokuyilindela imini yenkosi
11Ezo zinto zonke ngoku zíchithakala nje, nimele ukuba ngabanjani na ngeehambo ezingcwele nokuhlonela uThixo; 12nikulindela, nikukhawulezela, ukufika kwayo imini kaThixo, eliya kuthi ngenxa yayo izulu lifakwe isikhuni, lichithakale, zithi neziqalelo zitshe zinyibilike? 13Thina ke ngokwedinga lakhe silinde elitsha izulu, nomtsha umhlaba, apho kumi ubulungisa.
14Kungoko, zintanda, nílindele ezo zinto nje, khuthalelani ukuba nifunyanwe kuye niseluxolweni, ningenabala, ningenasiphako. 15Ukuzeka kade umsindo kweNkosi yethu kubaleleni ekuthini lusindiso, njengoko wanibhalelayo nomzalwana wethu oyintanda, uPawulos, ngokobulumko awabunikwayo; 16njengokuba, nasezincwadini zakhe zonke, ethetha kuzo ngezo ndawo; ekukhoyo kuzo zithile ziqiqeka nzima, abathi abangàfundileyo, nabangazimasekileyo, bazigqwethele kokwabo ukutshabalala, njengokuba bezenjenjalo nezinye izibhalo.
17Nina ngoko, zintanda, nizazi nje ngenxa engaphambili ezo zinto, zigcineni okwenu, ukuze ningàthi, níkhukuliswé lulahlekiso lwabangenammiselo, niphalale kokukokwenu ukuqina. 18Khulani ke elubabalweni nasekuyazini iNkosi yethu, uMsindisi uYesu Kristu. Kuye malubekho uzuko nangoku, kuse nakwimini engunaphakade. Amen.
