3 Asenibuke kutsi lukhulu kangakanani lutsandvo Babe lasikhombise lona!+ Usibite ngekutsi sibantfwana bakhe,*+ futsi nguloko lesingiko. Kungako live lingasati+ ngobe alikamati yena.+ 2 Bazalwane labatsandzekako, nyalo sibantfwana baNkulunkulu+ kodvwa kusengakabonakali loko lesitawuba ngiko.+ Siyati nekutsi nasekabonakaliswa sitawuba njengaye, ngobe sitambona njengobe anjalo. 3 Wonkhe umuntfu lonalelitsemba uyatihlanta+ njengobe nje yena ahlantekile.
4 Nobe ngubani lochubeka ona wephula umtsetfo, futsi sono sikwephula umtsetfo. 5 Niyati nekutsi yena wabonakaliswa kuze asuse tono tetfu,+ futsi kute sono kuye. 6 Wonkhe umuntfu lohlala asebunyeni naye akachubeki ona;+ kute umuntfu lowonako loke wambona nobe lomatiko. 7 Bantfwana, akube bete lonidukisako; loyo lowenta lokulungile usuke alungile, njengobe nje yena alungile. 8 Umuntfu lochubeka ona uvela kuDeveli, ngobe Develi bekasolo ona kusukela ekucaleni.*+ Kungako iNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu yabonakaliswa, kuze itobhidlita* imisebenti yaDeveli.+
9 Wonkhe umuntfu longumntfwana waNkulunkulu akachubeki ona,+ ngobe inhlanyelo* yaNkulunkulu ikuye, futsi ngeke achubeke ona ngobe ungumntfwana wakhe.+ 10 Nayi indlela lesingabona ngayo bantfwana baNkulunkulu nebantfwana baDeveli: Nobe ngubani longakwenti lokulungile akaveli kuNkulunkulu, kunjalo nangaloyo longamtsandzi umnakabo.+ 11 Ngobe ngulona umlayeto lenawuva kusukela ekucaleni, kutsi kufanele sitsandzane;+ 12 singabi njengaKhayini, lobekavela kulomubi futsi lowabulala umnakabo.+ Wambulalelani? Ngobe imisebenti yakhe beyimibi,+ kantsi imisebenti yemnakabo yona beyimihle.+
13 Kunganimangalisi bazalwane kutsi live liyanitondza.+ 14 Siyati kutsi sesendlulile ekufeni sangena ekuphileni+ ngobe siyabatsandza bazalwane betfu.+ Loyo lote lutsandvo utawuhlale afana nekutsi ufile.+ 15 Wonkhe umuntfu lotondza umzalwane wakhe ungumbulali,+ futsi niyati kutsi kute umbulali longatfola kuphila lokuphakadze.+ 16 Ngenca yaloko sesiyalwati lutsandvo, ngobe yena wanikela ngekuphila kwakhe ngenca yetfu;+ natsi sibophekile kutsi sinikele ngekuphila kwetfu ngenca yebazalwane betfu.+ 17 Kodvwa nobe ngubani lonetintfo latidzingako kuze aphile kepha atsi nakabona umzalwane wakhe eswele angafuni kumvela, angasho kanjani kutsi uyamtsandza Nkulunkulu?+ 18 Bantfwana, akukafaneli sitsandze ngelivi nobe ngemlomo kuphela,+ kodvwa kufanele sitsandze ngetento+ nangeliciniso.+
19 Ngaleyo ndlela sitawukwati kutsi sibeliciniso, futsi sitawuciniseka kutsi Nkulunkulu uyasitsandza 20 ngisho nobe tinhlitiyo tetfu tingasilahla, ngobe Nkulunkulu mkhulu kakhulu kunetinhlitiyo tetfu, futsi wati tonkhe tintfo.+ 21 Bazalwane labatsandzekako, nangabe tinhlitiyo tetfu tingasilahli, sinenkhululeko yekukhuluma naNkulunkulu;+ 22 nobe yini lesiyicelako sitayemukela kuye,+ ngobe sigcina imiyalo yakhe, futsi senta netintfo letimjabulisako. 23 Umyalo wakhe utsi: Kufanele sibe nekukholwa egameni leNdvodzana yakhe Jesu Khristu+ futsi sitsandzane,+ njengobe nje asiyala. 24 Ngetulu kwaloko, loyo logcina imiyalo yakhe uhlala asebunyeni naye, naye uba sebunyeni naloyo muntfu.+ Ngemoya lasinika wona, siyati kutsi uhlala asebunyeni natsi.+
