Umshumayeli
5 Ubotiphatsa kahle nawuya endlini yaNkulunkulu weliciniso;+ kuncono kutsi nawuye khona ulalele+ kunekutsi unikele umhlatjelo njengetilima,+ ngobe tona atati kutsi loko letikwentako kubi.
2 Ungasheshi ukhulume, futsi ungayivumeli inhlitiyo yakho ikwente ukhulume ungakacabangi embikwaNkulunkulu weliciniso,+ ngobe Nkulunkulu weliciniso usemazulwini kodvwa wena usemhlabeni. Kungako kufanele ukhulume emavi lambalwa.+ 3 Ngobe umuntfu uyaphupha nakunetintfo letinyenti laticabangako,*+ kanjalo nemavi lamanyenti enta umuntfu akhulume tintfo letibulima.+ 4 Nawenta sifungo kuNkulunkulu, ungephuti kusifeza,+ ngobe akajabuli ngetilima.+ Sifungo sakho sifeze.+ 5 Kuncono ungasenti sifungo, kunekutsi usente bese awusasifezi.+ 6 Ungawuvumeli umlomo wakho kutsi ukwentise sono,+ futsi ungacali usho embikwengilosi* kutsi ukwente ngeliphutsa.+ Umtfukutseliselani nje Nkulunkulu weliciniso ngaloko lokushoko, aze awente ube lite umsebenti wetandla takho?+ 7 Njengobe nje kucabanga tintfo letinyenti kwenta umuntfu abe nemaphupho,+ ngendlela lefanako, emavi lamanyenti alite. Ngako yesaba Nkulunkulu weliciniso.+
8 Nangabe ubona labeswele bacindzetelwa, ubona kutsi akwehlulelwa kahle nekutsi tintfo atentiwa ngekulunga esigodzini sakini, ungamangali.+ Ngobe leso siphatsimandla sibonwa ngumuntfu lophakeme kakhulu kunaso, futsi kunalabanye labaphakeme kunaso.
9 Nemkhicito welive utfolwa ngibo bonkhe bantfu; ngisho nekudla lokudliwa yinkhosi kubuya emasimini.+
10 Umuntfu lotsandza imali akayuze enetiseke ngayo, nemuntfu lotsandza umcebo akayuze enetiseke ngemali layitfolako.+ Naloku kulite.+
11 Nakwandza tintfo letinhle, labo labatisebentisako nabo bayandza.+ Tibese timsita ngani-ke umnikati wato, ngaphandle nje kwekutsi agcine ngekutibuka?+
12 Bumnandzi butfongo besisebenti ngisho nobe sinekudla lokuncane nobe lokunyenti, kodvwa inala yemuntfu lonjingile ayimniki butfongo.
13 Kunentfo levisana buhlungu kakhulu* lengiyibonile lamhlabeni: kunemuntfu lowacongelela umcebo, kodvwa ekugcineni walimata yena. 14 Lomcebo wamlahlekela ngenca yelibhizinisi lelingazange liphumelele, futsi kutawutsi lapho aba nendvodzana, abe sekete lifa latayinika lona.+
15 Njengobe umuntfu abengenalutfo nakaphuma esiswini samake wakhe, kutawuba njalo-ke nakafa.+ Kute ngisho nakunye latawube akuphetse kuko konkhe lakusebentele kamatima.+
16 Naku lokunye lokuvisana buhlungu kakhulu:* Indlela umuntfu lefike ngayo, itawuba njalo nalapho sekahamba; futsi kumsita ngani loyo lochubeka asebenta kamatima, kodvwa kufanane nekutsi ucosha umoya?+ 17 Ngetulu kwaloko, onkhe malanga udlela ebumnyameni, abe akhatsateke kakhulu, agula futsi atfukutsele.+
18 Naku lengikubone kukuhle futsi kulungile: kutsi umuntfu kufanele adle, anatse futsi ajabule ngemsebenti wakhe lomatima+ latikhandla ngawo lamhlabeni kulamalanga ekuphila lambalwa Nkulunkulu weliciniso lamuphe wona, ngobe loko kungumvuzo wakhe.+ 19 Ngetulu kwaloko, nangabe Nkulunkulu weliciniso aniketa umuntfu bunjinga+ kutsi atijabulise ngabo, kufanele awemukele umvuzo wakhe futsi ajabule ngemsebenti wakhe lomatima. Lesi sipho lesivela kuNkulunkulu.+ 20 Ngobe angeke atikhumbule tinkinga* labhekene nato kulesikhashana latasiphila, ngenca yekutsi Nkulunkulu weliciniso wenta inhlitiyo yakhe ihlale ijabulile.+
