KubaseGalathiya 5:1-26
5 Khristu wasikhulula kuze sihlale sikhululekile. Ngako-ke cinani,+ ningavumi kutsi niphindze niboshelwe ebugcilini.+
2 Mine Pawula ngiyanitjela ngitsi nangabe nisoka, Khristu ngeke abe lusito kini.+
3 Ngiphindze ngitjela wonkhe umuntfu losokako kutsi ubophekile kugcina wonkhe uMtsetfo.+
4 Nangabe wetama kuba ngulolungile ngemtsetfo,+ usuke wehlukanisiwe naKhristu, futsi usuke ukhweshile emseni wakhe lomkhulu.
5 Kodvwa ngemoya, tsine sikulindzele ngekulangatelela kuba ngulabalungile ngenca yekukholwa kwetfu.
6 Ngobe kulabo labamunye naKhristu Jesu, kusoka nobe kungasoki akukabaluleki,+ kodvwa kukholwa lokusebenta ngelutsandvo ngiko lokubalulekile.
7 Benigijima kahle.+ Ngubani-ke lonivimbele kutsi nichubeke nilalela liciniso?
8 Loluhlobo lwemfundziso aluveli kuLoyo lonibitako.
9 Imvubelo lencane ibilisa yonkhe inhlama.+
10 Ngiyaciniseka kutsi nine lenimunye neNkhosi+ ngeke nicabange ngendlela leyehlukile; kodvwa loyo lonibangela tinkinga,+ ngisho nobe kungaba ngubani, utawutfola sehlulelo lesimfanele.
11 Kodvwa bazalwane, nangabe mine ngisashumayela ngekusoka, pho ngisahlushelwani? Kube bekunjalo ngabe bantfu abasakhubekiswa lugodvo*+ Jesu labetselwa kulo.
12 Ngifisa shengatsi lamadvodza letama kuniphatamisa angatiphakula.*
13 Bazalwane, nabitelwa enkhululekweni; kodvwa ningayisebentisi njengelitfuba lekwenta lokufiswa yinyama,+ kepha ngelutsandvo, banini tigcili talomunye nalomunye.+
14 Ngobe wonkhe uMtsetfo upheleliswe* emyalweni munye, lotsi: “Kufanele utsandze makhelwane wakho njengobe utitsandza wena.”+
15 Nangabe-ke nichubeka nilumana futsi nishwabadzelana,+ caphelani kutsi ningacedzani.+
16 Kodvwa ngitsi: Chubekani nihamba ngemoya+ futsi ngeke nize nente lokufiswa yinyama.+
17 Ngobe ngetifiso tayo, inyama iphambene nemoya, nemoya uphambene nenyama; letintfo tiyaphikisana, kungako ningakwenti loko lenifuna kukwenta.+
18 Ngetulu kwaloko, nangabe niholwa ngumoya, anikho ngephansi kwemtsetfo.
19 Imisebenti yenyama ibonakala kahle, futsi ngulena: Bugwadla,*+ kungcola, kona lokuhambisana nekwedzelela,*+
20 kukhonta tithico, kusebentelana nemimoya,*+ yinzondo, kucabana, ngumona, yintfukutselo lengalawuleki, yimibango, kwehlukana, ngemahlelo,
21 kuhawukela, kudzakwa,+ yimicimbi lengalawulwa* naletinye tintfo letifana naleti.+ Ngiyanecwayisa ngaletintfo, njengobe besengivele nginecwayisile, kutsi labo labenta tintfo letinjena ngeke balidle lifa leMbuso waNkulunkulu.+
22 Ngakulokunye, titselo temoya nguleti: Lutsandvo, yinjabulo, kuthula, kubeketela, ngumusa, buhle,+ kukholwa,
23 ngumoya lophansi* nekutibamba.+ Kute umtsetfo lomelene naletintfo.
24 Labo lababaKhristu Jesu bayibetsele elugodvweni inyama yabo kanye netifiso netinkhanuko tayo.+
25 Nangabe siphila ngemoya, asichubekeni siphila ngekuvumelana nekucondziswa ngumoya.+
26 Asingatigabatisi,+ singakukhutsati kuncintisana,+ futsi singadlelani umona.
