2 Kungako kubalulekile kutsi sitinakisise tintfo lesitivile,+ kuze singaphambuki.+ 2 Ngobe nangabe loko lokwakhulunywa ngako kusetjentiswa tingilosi+ kwaba liciniso, futsi bonkhe labonako nalabangalaleli batfola sijeziso lesihambisana nekulunga,+ 3 singasindza njani nangabe singazange siyinake insindziso lenkhulu kangaka?+ Ngobe iNkhosi yetfu yaba yekucala kukhuluma ngayo+ futsi labo labayiva bakufakazela loko kitsi, 4 naNkulunkulu wakufakazela ngetibonakaliso, ngetimangaliso, ngemisebenti leyehlukahlukene yemandla,+ kanye nangemoya longcwele lokhishwa ngekuvumelana nentsandvo yakhe.+
5 Umhlaba lotako lesikhuluma ngawo akakawubeki ngephansi kwetingilosi.+ 6 Kodvwa kunalomunye fakazi lowake wafakaza watsi: “Umuntfu abeyini-ke kutsi ungahlale umkhumbula, nendvodzana yemuntfu beyiyini kutsi ungayinakekela?+ 7 Umente waba ngephansana kwetingilosi; wametfwesa ludvumo nekuhlonipheka, waphindze wambeka ngetulu kwemisebenti yetandla takho. 8 Wabeka tonkhe tintfo ngephansi kwetinyawo takhe.”+ Ngekubeka tonkhe tintfo ngephansi kwakhe,+ kute intfo Nkulunkulu layishiya.+ Kepha nyalo sisengakatiboni tonkhe tintfo tingephansi kwakhe.+ 9 Kodvwa siyabona kutsi Jesu, lowentiwa waba ngephansana kwetingilosi,+ sewetfweswe ludvumo nekuhlonipheka ngobe wahlupheka waze wafa,+ kuze kutsi ngemusa lomkhulu waNkulunkulu afele bonkhe bantfu.+
10 Bekufanele kutsi loyo tonkhe tintfo letaba khona ngenca yakhe naletaba khona ngaye, ngekuletsa emadvodzana lamanyenti enkhatimulweni,+ ente uMmeleli Loyinhloko wensindziso yawo+ apheleliswe ngekuhlupheka.+ 11 Ngobe loyo longcwelisako nalabo labangcweliswako,+ bonkhe bavela kumuntfu munye,+ ngaleso sizatfu ute emahloni ekubabita ngekutsi bomnakabo,+ 12 njengobe atsi: “Libito lakho ngitalimemetela kubomnaketfu; ngikudvumise ngetingoma emkhatsini welibandla.”+ 13 Uphindze atsi: “Ngitawubeka litsemba lami kuye.”+ Aphindze atsi: “Bukani, mine nebantfwana labancane lengibanikwe nguJehova.”*+
14 Ngako-ke njengobe ‘labantfwana labancane’ bayingati nenyama, naye waba nguloko,+ kuze kutsi ngekufa kwakhe amente lite loyo lonendlela yekubangela kufa,+ lokunguDeveli,+ 15 futsi akhulule bonkhe lebebagcilatwe kwesaba kufa+ kuko konkhe kuphila kwabo. 16 Ecinisweni akasiti tingilosi, kodvwa usita intalelwane* ya-Abrahama.+ 17 Kungako kwadzingeka kutsi afane ‘nabomnakabo’ kuto tonkhe tintfo,+ kuze abe ngumphristi lophakeme lonesihawu futsi lowetsembekile etintfweni letimayelana naNkulunkulu, khona atonikela umhlatjelo wekuhlawulela+ tono tebantfu.*+ 18 Njengobe naye ahlupheka ngesikhatsi alingwa,+ uyakwati kubasita labo labalingwako.+
