Nkulunkulu uyala bantfwabakhe
1Ngako-ke, njengobe situngeletwe sicumbi lesikhulu kangaka sabofakazi, asilahle konkhe lokusindzako, nesono lesigigelana njengelwanca. Asigijime ngekucinisela kulomncintiswano losembikwetfu, 2emehlo etfu angesuki kuJesu longumsunguli nemphelelisi wekukholwa kwetfu. Ngenca yekujabula labekubekelwe Jesu wacinisela ngekwetfwala siphambano, wangete walinaka lihlazo laso; wahlala ngesekudla sesihlalo sebukhosi saNkulunkulu.
3Mkhumbuleni yena lowo lowacinisela, nome toni setimhlukumeta ngenca yenzondo. Nanimkhumbula-ke, ningeke nidzinwe nome nidzangale etinhlitiyweni tenu. 4Nisengakemelani nesono, kudzimate kucitseke ingati yenu. 5Seniwukhohliwe yini lomyalo lokhuluma kini njengakumadvodzana lotsi:
“Ndvodzana yami,
ungakwedzeleli kuyala kweNkhosi,
ungapheli emandla
nawukhalinyelwa yiNkhosi;
6ngobe iNkhosi iyabayala lebatsandzako,
ibajezise labo
labemukeleka kuyo njengemadvodzana”?
7Ciniselani ekuyalweni. Nkulunkulu uniphatsa njengemadvodzana akhe; ngobe vele ikhona yini indvodzana lengayalwa nguyise? 8Naningayalwa njengawo onkhe emadvodzana, kusho kutsi anisiwo emadvodzana, ningemavezandlebe. 9Tsine sinabobabe betfu bengati labasiyalako sibahloniphe; pho, Babe wetfu ngekwaMoya akukafaneli yini simhloniphe ngentfobeko lenkhulu, kuze sitewutfola kuphila? 10Phela bobabe babesiyala kwesikhashana ngekubona kwabo, kodvwa yena usiyalela kutsi kutewusitakala tsine, kuze sibe nesabelo ebungcweleni bakhe. 11Ngobe ngesikhatsi sisayalwa kuvakala kubuhlungu kunekutsi kujabulise, noko kamuva sivuno saloko kuyalwa sibonakala sinesitselo sekuthula nesekulunga, kulabo labaceceshwe ngako.
Imiyalo netecwayiso
12Ngako-ke cinisani tandla tenu letibutsakatsaka nemadvolo enu lacekako; 13tinyawo tenu nitentele tindlela leticondzile, kuze kutsi lunyawo loluchutako lungachubiseleki, kodvwa luphiliswe.
14Yetamani kuba nekuthula nabo bonkhe bantfu, nifune kungcweliswa, ngobe kute loyawuyibona iNkhosi angakangcweliswa. 15Nicaphelisise kutsi kubete lophunyulako emseni waNkulunkulu; kubete “imphandze lenashevu” lemila ibange luhlupho, ibulale labanyenti. 16Akubete logwadlako, nome lophingako, nome lonaka live njenga-Esawu, lowatsenga kudla ngemalungelo akhe onkhe ebutubulo. 17Emvakwaloko wafisa kudla lifa lesibusiso, kodvwa waliwa, njengobe nati. Phela, lase lingekho litfuba lekuphendvuka, nome abesakufuna ngetinyembeti.
18Aniketi entsabeni longayitsintsa, levutsa umlilo nalenebumnyama lobumnyamakati, nesivunguvungu, 19nekukhala kwelicilongo, nekuvakala kwelivi, lekwatsi nalivakala kuma-Israyeli, ancenga kutsi lingaphindzi likhulume. 20Kungobe babengeke bawumele lomtsetfo lababenikwe wona, lotsi: “Nome silwane siyitsintsa lentsaba, siyawugcotjwa ngematje.” 21Lombono wawesabeka kakhulu kangangekutsi Mosi wadzimate watsi: “Ngiyesaba kakhulu, ngiyatfutfumela.”
22Kodvwa, esikhundleni saloko, nite entsabeni, Siyoni, ekhaya laNkulunkulu lophilako, eJerusalema yasezulwini, esibhimbini setingilosi letingenawubalwa, 23kanye nelibandla lematubulo lamabito awo abhaliwe ezulwini. NisembikweMehluleli longuNkulunkulu wabo bonkhe, nakuyo imimoya yalabalungile labaphelelisiwe, 24nakuJesu, uMlamuli wesivumelwane lesisha. Ingati yakhe isiphatsele lokukhulu kunengati ya-Abela.
25Caphelani ningamali lowo lokhulumako: Nangabe bangaphunyulanga labo labamala lowo abebacaphelisa alapha emhlabeni, natsi-ke singeke siphunyule, nasala kutsatsa tecwayiso talowo lokhuluma asezulwini. 26Livi lakhe lanyakatisa umhlaba; kodvwa nyalo sewetsembisile watsi: “Ngitawuphindze nginyakatise, hhayi umhlaba kuphela, kodvwa nelizulu.” 27Lamavi latsi: “Ngitawuphindze” akhombisa ngalokukhanyako kutsi konkhe lokudaliwe kutawunyakatiswa kususwe, kuze kutsi lokungeke kunyakatiswe kusale kunjalo.
28Ngako-ke asibonge kwemukela umbuso longeke unyakatiswe, sikhonte Nkulunkulu ngalokwemukelekako, simhloniphe ngekutfutfumela; 29ngobe loNkulunkulu wetfu ungumlilo locotfulako.
