2 Bantfwabami, nginibhalela letintfo kuze ningoni. Kepha nangabe lotsite ona, sinemsiti* kuBabe, lokunguJesu Khristu+ lolungile.+ 2 Ungumhlatjelo wekuhlawulela+ tono tetfu,*+ hhayi tetfu kuphela kodvwa netalo lonkhe live.+ 3 Nangabe sichubeka sigcina imiyalo yakhe, kutawubonakala kutsi sesiyamati. 4 Umuntfu lotsi: “Sengiyamati,” kepha abe angayigcini imiyalo yakhe, ungumcambimanga, neliciniso alikho kuye. 5 Kodvwa nangabe umuntfu agcina livi lakhe, kutawubonakala kutsi umtsandza mbamba Nkulunkulu.+ Nangabe sikwenta loko, sitawube sikhombisa kutsi sisebunyeni naye.+ 6 Loyo lotsi uhlala asebunyeni naye kufanele achubeke ahamba ngendlela naye lebekahamba ngayo.+
7 Bazalwane labatsandzekako, anginibhaleli umyalo lomusha kodvwa nginibhalela umyalo lomdzala lenawutfola kusukela ekucaleni.+ Lomyalo lomdzala ulivi lenaliva. 8 Ngetulu kwaloko, nginibhalela umyalo lomusha, lokungumyalo naye lawugcina, nani leniwugcinako, ngobe bumnyama buyendlula, nekukhanya kweliciniso sekuvele kuyakhanya.+
9 Umuntfu lotsi usekukhanyeni kodvwa abe atondza umnakabo,+ solo usebumnyameni.+ 10 Loyo lotsandza umnakabo uhlala asekukhanyeni,+ kute nalokumenta agileke. 11 Kodvwa loyo lotondza umnakabo usebumnyameni futsi uhamba kubo,+ akati kutsi uyaphi+ ngobe bumnyama buvale emehlo akhe.
12 Ngibhalela nine bantfwana, ngobe tono tenu titsetselelwe ngenca yelibito lakhe.+ 13 Ngibhalela nine bobabe, ngobe seniyamati loyo lobekakhona kusukela ekucaleni. Ngibhalela nine majaha, ngobe nimncobile lomubi.+ Ngibhalela nine bantfwana, ngobe seniyamati Babe.+ 14 Ngibhalela nine bobabe, ngobe seniyamati loyo lobekakhona kusukela ekucaleni. Ngibhalela nine majaha, ngobe ninemandla,+ nelivi laNkulunkulu lihlala kini,+ futsi nimncobile lomubi.+
15 Ningalitsandzi live nobe tintfo letikulo.+ Nangabe umuntfu atsandza live, akamtsandzi Babe;+ 16 ngobe tonkhe tintfo letiseveni, sifiso senyama,+ sifiso semehlo+ kanye nekubukisa* ngetintfo umuntfu lanato, akuveli kuBabe kodvwa kuvela eveni. 17 Ngetulu kwaloko, live liyendlula kanye nesifiso salo,+ kodvwa loyo lowenta intsandvo yaNkulunkulu uhlala kuze kube phakadze.+
18 Bantfwana, lesi sesikhatsi sekugcina, futsi njengobe nivile kutsi umphikikhristu uyeta,+ ngisho nanyalo sebanyenti baphikikhristu labavelile,+ ngenca yaloko siyati kutsi lesi sesikhatsi sekugcina. 19 Basishiyile, kodvwa bebangasikanye natsi;*+ ngobe kube bebakanye natsi bebatawuhlala natsi. Basishiyile kuze kubonakale kutsi akusibo bonkhe labakanye natsi.+ 20 Kugcotjwa kwenu kuvela kulongcwele,+ futsi nonkhe ninelwati. 21 Anginibhaleli ngobe ningalati liciniso+ kodvwa nginibhalela ngobe nilati, nangenca yekutsi kute emanga lavela ecinisweni.+
22 Ngubani longumcambimanga ngaphandle kwaloyo lophika kutsi Jesu unguKhristu?+ Lona nguye umphikikhristu,+ loyo lophika Babe kanye neNdvodzana. 23 Nobe ngubani lophika iNdvodzana akasimunye naBabe.+ Kepha loyo loyivumako iNdvodzana+ umunye naBabe.+ 24 Nine-ke kufanele nikugcine kini loko lenakuva kusukela ekucaleni.+ Nangabe loko nikugcina kini, nitawuhlala nisebunyeni neNdvodzana kanye naBabe. 25 Ngetulu kwaloko, usetsembise kuphila lokuphakadze.+
26 Nginibhalela letintfo mayelana nalabo labafuna kunidukisa. 27 Kepha nine, Nkulunkulu wanigcoba ngemoya wakhe+ futsi lomoya uhlala kini, kantsi anidzingi muntfu kutsi anifundzise; lomoya lovela kuye unifundzisa tonkhe tintfo,+ uliciniso futsi ute emanga. Njengobe unifundzisile, hlalani nisebunyeni naye.+ 28 Ngako-ke bantfwana, hlalani nisebunyeni naye khona kutawutsi nasekabonakaliswa sibe nenkhululeko yekukhuluma,+ singakhweshi ngenca yemahloni ngesikhatsi sekuba khona kwakhe. 29 Nangabe nati kutsi ulungile, niyati nekutsi bonkhe labenta lokulungile babantfwana bakhe.+
