Yesibili Leya KuThimothi 2:1-26
2 Ngako wena mntfwanami,+ chubeka uticinisa ngemusa lomkhulu lesiwukhonjiswa nguKhristu Jesu,
2 futsi tintfo lowativa kimi letasekelwa bofakazi labanyenti+ tiphatsise emadvodza letsembekile, nawo latakufanela kahle kufundzisa labanye.
3 Njengobe ulisotja lelihle+ laKhristu Jesu, nawe kubeketelele kuhlupheka.+
4 Kute lisotja lelitifaka* etindzabeni tekutsengiselana,* nangabe lifuna kwemukelwa nguloyo lolicashe njengelisotja.
5 Kantsi nasemidlalweni, umuntfu longayilandzeli imitsetfo yemdlalo akawutfoli umklomelo.+
6 Umlimi lokhutsele nguye lokufanele adle titselo kucala.
7 Ubohlale ucabanga ngaloko lengikushoko, futsi iNkhosi itakusita kutsi ucondze tonkhe tintfo.
8 Khumbula kutsi Jesu Khristu wavuswa ekufeni+ nekutsi bekayintalelwane* yaDavide+ ngekusho kwetindzaba letimnandzi lengitishumayelako,+
9 lengihlupheka ngenca yato futsi ngaze ngaboshwa kwaba shengatsi ngisigebengu.+ Kodvwa-ke livi laNkulunkulu lona alikaboshwa.+
10 Ngaleso sizatfu, ngichubeka ngibeketelela tonkhe tintfo ngenca yalabakhetsiwe,+ kuze nabo batotfola insindziso letfolakala ngaKhristu Jesu, batfole nenkhatimulo yaphakadze.
11 Etsembekile lamavi latsi: Nangabe sife kanye kanye, sitawuphindze siphile kanye kanye;+
12 nasichubeka sibeketela, sitawubusa kanyekanye njengemakhosi;+ nasimphika, naye utasiphika;+
13 ngisho nobe singetsembeki, yena uhlale etsembekile ngobe angeke atiphike.
14 Chubeka ubakhumbuta ngaletintfo, ubayale* embikwaNkulunkulu kutsi bangalwi ngemagama, lokuyintfo lengenamsebenti ngobe kulimata* labo labalalele.
15 Yenta konkhe lokusemandleni akho kutsi utivete wemukeleka kuNkulunkulu, usisebenti lesite emahloni ngalutfo, nalesiphatsa livi leliciniso ngendlela lefanele.+
16 Kodvwa tibalekele tinkhulumo letilite letingakuhloniphi lokungcwele;+ ngobe titawuholela kulo lonkhe luhlobo lwekutiphatsa kwekungamhloniphi Nkulunkulu,
17 kantsi emavi alabo labatikhulumako atawusakateka njengesilondza lesibhidlikako. BoHumenayosi naFiletusi bangulabanye balabo bantfu.+
18 Baphambukile ecinisweni, batsi labafile sebavele bavusiwe,+ futsi balimata kukholwa kwalabanye.
19 Nangetulu kwaloko, sisekelo lesicinile saNkulunkulu solo simile, sineluphawu lolutsi, “Jehova* uyabati labo lababakhe,”+ kanye nalolutsi, “Wonkhe umuntfu lobita libito laJehova*+ akalahle kungalungi.”
20 Endlini lenkhulu akuhlali titja teligolide netelisiliva kuphela, kodvwa kuhlala netitja tesigodvo netelubumba, letinye telikhetselo kodvwa letinye atisito telikhetselo.
21 Ngako nangabe umuntfu atigcina akhashane naleti letingasito telikhetselo, utawuba sitja selikhetselo, lesingcwelisiwe, lesilusito kumnikati waso, nalesilungele wonkhe umsebenti lomuhle.
22 Ngako tibalekele tifiso tebusha, kodvwa ulwele kuba nekulunga, kukholwa, lutsandvo, nekuthula, ukanye nalabo labetsemba iNkhosi futsi labanenhlitiyo lehlantekile.
23 Ngetulu kwaloko, balekela timphikiswane letibulima naletilite,+ wati kutsi tibangela kulwa.
24 Ngobe sisebenti seNkhosi akukafaneli silwe, kodvwa kufanele sibe nemusa* kubo bonkhe,+ sikufanele kufundzisa, futsi sitibambe nasoniwa,+
25 sibayale ngemoya lophansi* labo labamelene naso,+ ngobe Nkulunkulu angahle abente baphendvuke,* batfole lwati lolungulonalona lweliciniso,+
26 futsi mhlawumbe bangasanguluka baphindze baphunyule elugibeni lwaDeveli, ngobe ubabambe baphila kuze bente intsandvo yakhe.+
