1 Ngenxa yoko, simelwe kukuzinyamekela ngokugqithiseleyo izinto esazivayo, hleze sikhukuliswe simke kuzo.2 Kuba, ukuba ilizwi elathethwa ngezithunywa zezulu laqina, kwathi konke ukugqitha nokungeva kwamkela umvuzo oyeleleyo;3 sothini na thina ukusinda, sakuba siluhilizele usindiso olungakanana, lona lwaqalwa ukuthethwa yiyo iNkosi, lwaza lwaqiniselwa kuthi ngabo baluvayo;4 uThixo engqinelana nabo ngemiqondiso kwanezimanga, nemisebenzi ngemisebenzi yamandla, nezabelo zoMoya oyiNgcwele, ngokokuthanda kwakhe?

5 Kuba akalithobelanga phantsi kwezithunywa zezulu elimiweyo eliza kubakho, eli sithetha ngalo.6 Ke, wakha wangqina ubani, esithi, Uyintoni na umntu, le nto umkhumbulelayo? Unyana womntu, le nto umvelelayo?7 Wamnciphisa kancina ne kunezithunywa zezulu, Wamthwesa uzuko nembeko. Wammisa phezu kwemisebenzi yezandla zakho;8 Zonke izinto wazithobela phantsi kweenyawo zakhe. Kuba, ekubeni wazithobela phantsi kwakhe zonke izinto ezo, akashiyanga nto ingathotyelwanga phantsi kwakhe. Kukaloku ke asikaziboni zithotyelwe phantsi kwakhe zonke izinto.9 Ke sibona lo uncitshiswe kancinane kunezithunywa zezulu, uYesu ke, ethe ngenxa yeentlungu zokufa wathweswa uzuko nembeko, ukuze ngobabalo lukaThixo eve ukufa ngenxa yabo bonke.

10 Kuba bekumfanele lowo, ezingenxa yakhe zonke izinto ezo, nezingaye zonke izinto ezo, ekubeni ezise oonyana abaninzi eluzukweni, ukuthi ayenze ngeentlungu igqibelele imbangi yosindiso lwabo.11 Kuba lowo ungcwalisayo, kwanabo bangcwaliswayo, baphuma kumnye bonke; ekungenxa yeli thuba angenazintloni ukubabiza ngokuthi ngabazalwana,12 esithi, Ndiya kulixela igama lakho kubo abazalwana bam. Ndivume phakathi kwebandla elokudumisa wena.13 Abuye athi, Ndiya kukholosa ngaye. Abuye athi, Yabona, mna nabantwana andinike bona uThixo.

14 Ekubeni ngoko abantwana abo bengamadlelane naye ngenyama negazi, wathi naye ngokwakhe ngokukwanjalo wabelana nabo ngezo zinto, ukuze ngako ukufa ambhangise lowo unamandla okufa, oko kukuthi, uMtyholi lo;15 abakhulule ebukhobokeni bonke abo babethe ngalo lonke ixesha lokudla kwabo ubomi bazizisulu zokoyika ukufa.16 Kuba ndithi, akathabatheli kuye zithunywa; uthabathela kuye imbewu ka-Abraham.17 Ekuthe ngoko wafanelwa kukuba afane nabazalwana bakhe ngezinto zonke, ukuze abe ngonenceba, kwanombingeleli othembekileyo omkhulu ezintweni ezilunge kuThixo, ukuze azicamagushele izono zabantu.18 Kuba ekubeni eve ubunzima, ehendiwe naye ngokwakhe, unako ukubasiza abahendwayo.
