Yekucala YaPhetro
1 Mine Phetro, umphostoli+ waJesu Khristu, ngibhalela labo labahleti kwesikhashana eveni, labasakatekele ePhontusi, eGalathiya, eKhaphadosiya,+ e-Asiya kanye naseBhithiniya, lokungulabakhetfwe 2 ngekuvumelana naloko Nkulunkulu longuBabe+ lebekakuhlele kusengaphambili, nangekungcweliswa ngemoya,+ kuze balalele futsi bafafatwe ngengati yaJesu Khristu:+
Shengatsi ningemukela umusa lomkhulu kanye nekuthula.
3 Akabongwe Nkulunkulu longuBabe weNkhosi yetfu Jesu Khristu, ngobe ngemusa wakhe lomkhulu wasenta satalwa kabusha+ etsembeni leliphilako+ ngekuvuswa kwaJesu Khristu ekufeni,+ 4 wasinika nelifa lelingonakali, lelihlantekile futsi lelingaphuphi.+ Lelifa nibekelwe lona emazulwini,+ 5 nine lenilondvolotwa nguNkulunkulu ngemandla akhe ngenca yekutsi ninekukholwa. Uyanilondvolota kuze nitfole insindziso letawembulwa esikhatsini sekugcina. 6 Ngenca yaloku, nijabula kakhulu nanobe kwesikhashana benike nacindzetelwa tilingo letehlukahlukene,+ 7 kuze kukholwa kwenu lokuvivinyiwe+ kube sizatfu sekudvunyiswa, senkhatimulo neseludvumo ngesikhatsi kwembulwa Jesu Khristu.+ Lokukholwa kuligugu kakhulu kwengca ligolide leliphelako ngisho nobe livivinywe* ngemlilo. 8 Nanobe ningazange senimbone, niyamtsandza. Nanobe ningamboni kwanyalo, niyakholwa kuye futsi nijabula kakhulu ngenjabulo lengachazeki nalekhatimulako, 9 njengobe nitfola umphumela wekukholwa kwenu, lokukusindziswa kwekuphila kwenu.+
10 Baphrofethi labaphrofetha ngemusa lomkhulu waNkulunkulu lebenitawutfola, baphenyisisa ngalensindziso futsi bayihlolisisa.+ 11 Bachubeka bahlola kutsi umoya longcwele lokubo ukhomba siphi sikhatsi nobe luphi luhlobo lwesikhatsi nawukhuluma ngaKhristu,+ ngobe umoya longcwele wafakaza kusengaphambili mayelana nekuhlupheka lobekutawehlela Khristu+ nenkhatimulo lebekatayitfola. 12 Bembulelwa kutsi bebangatisebenteli bona kepha bebasebentela nine, futsi nyalo letintfo tishunyayelwe kini, tashunyayelwa ngulabo labanitjela tindzaba letimnandzi ngemoya longcwele lotfunyelwe uvela ezulwini.+ Tingilosi nato tiyafisa kuticondza letintfo.
13 Ngako-ke yentani tingcondvo tenu tilungele umsebenti;+ nichubeke nicabangisisa kahle;+ niwetsembe umusa lomkhulu lenitawentelwa nguNkulunkulu nasekwembulwa Jesu Khristu. 14 Njengobe nibantfwana labalalelako, yekelani kucondziswa* tifiso lebeninato ngesikhatsi nisengakati lutfo, 15 kepha banini ngcwele kuko konkhe kutiphatsa kwenu, njengaLoyo Longcwele lowanibita,+ 16 ngobe kubhaliwe kwatsiwa: “Kufanele nibe ngcwele, ngobe mine ngingcwele.”+
17 Nangabe nicela tintfo kuBabe lowehlulela umuntfu ngamunye ngekungakhetsi+ kuye ngemisebenti yakhe, tiphatseni ngekwesaba+ njengobe nisahleti kwesikhashana eveni. 18 Ngobe niyati kutsi ngesikhatsi nikhululwa* endleleni lelite yekuphila lenayinikwa bokhokho benu,* anizange nikhululwe ngetintfo letonakalako, lokulisiliva neligolide.+ 19 Kodvwa nakhululwa ngengati leligugu,+ lefana neyeliwundlu lelimsulwa nalelite sici,+ lokuyingati yaKhristu.+ 20 Kuliciniso kutsi besekavele akhetsiwe lisengakasekelwa live,*+ kodvwa wembulwa ekupheleni kwetikhatsi ngenca yenu.+ 21 Ngaye niyakholwa kuNkulunkulu,+ lokunguye lowamvusa ekufeni+ wamnika nenkhatimulo,+ kuze kukholwa nelitsemba lenu kube kuNkulunkulu.
22 Njengobe nyalo senitihlambululile ngekulalela liciniso, lokunente natsandzana mbamba njengobe nibazalwane,+ tsandzanani kakhulu ngalokusuka enhlitiyweni.+ 23 Ngobe nitalwe kabusha,+ hhayi ngenhlanyelo* leyonakalako kodvwa ngenhlanyelo lengonakali,+ nangelivi laNkulunkulu lophilako nalohlala phakadze.+ 24 “Bonkhe bantfu bafana netjani, futsi yonkhe inkhatimulo yabo ifana nembali yesiganga; tjani buyabuna, nembali iyahhohloka, 25 kodvwa livi laJehova* lihlala phakadze.”+ ‘Lelivi’ litindzaba letimnandzi letamenyetelwa kini.+
