5 Futhi ithemba alijabhisi; ngokuba uthando lukaNkulunkulu lutheliwe ezinhliziyweni zethu ngoMoya oNgcwele esimuphiweyo.
6 Ngoba lapho sisebuthakathaka, ngesikhathi esifaneleyo uKristu wafela abangamesabi uNkulunkulu.
7 Ngokuba akulula ukuba umuntu afele olungileyo;
8 Kepha uNkulunkulu uyabonakalisa uthando lwakhe kithina ngokuthi, siseyizoni, uKristu wasifela.

13 Ngokuba kuze kube ngumthetho isono sasikhona ezweni, kepha isono asibalelwa ungekho umthetho.
14 Nokho ukufa kwabusa kusukela ku-Adamu kuze kufike kuMose, ngisho naphezu kwalabo abangonanga njengesiphambeko sika-Adamu, ongumfanekiso walowo owayezakuza.
15 Kodwana isipho asinjengesiphambeko. Ngokuba uma ngesiphambeko somunye abaningi bafa, kakhulukazi umusa kaNkulunkulu nesipho ngomusa okungamuntu oyedwa uJesu Kristu, kwavama kwabaningi.
16 Futhi isipho asinjengoba saba ngowomunye owonayo;
17 Ngokuba uma ngesiphambeko somuntu oyedwa ukufa kwabusa ngalowo munye; kakhulukazi abemukela ukuvama komusa nokwesipho sokulunga bayakubusa ekuphileni ngalowo munye, uJesu Kristu.

19 Ngokuba njengalokho ngokungalaleli komuntu munye abaningi benziwa izoni, kanjalo ngokulalela komuntu oyedwa abaningi bayakwenziwa abalungileyo.
20 Futhi umthetho wangena, ukuze isiphambeko sande. Kepha lapho kwavama khona isono, umusa wavama kakhulukazi;
21 ukuze njengalokho isono sabusa kube ngukufa, ngokunjalo nomusa ubuse ngokulunga kube ukuphila okuphakade ngoKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu.

3 Wabona embonweni ngokusobala, kungathi ngehora lesishiyagalolunye lemini ingelosi kaNkulunkulu iza kuye, ithi kuye: “Korneliyu!”
4 Embuka wethuka, wathi: Kuyini, Nkosi? Yathi kuye: “Imikhuleko yakho nokwabela kwakho abampofu izipho kukhuphukele kwaba yisikhumbuzo phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
5 Manje thuma amadoda eJopha, ubize uSimoni othiwa futhi uPetru;

9 Ngangomuso besahamba, besondela emzini, uPetru wakhuphukela phezu kwendlu ukuyokhuleka ngehora lesithupha;
10 Walamba kakhulu, wafuna ukudla;
11 Wabona izulu livulekile, nesitsha esithile sehlela kuye, njengendwangu enkulu, eboshiwe emagumbini omane, yehliselwa emhlabeni;
12 okwakukhona kuzo zonke izilwane zomhlaba ezinezinyawo ezine, nezilo zasendle, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo nezinyoni zezulu.
13 Kwasekufika ilizwi kuye, lathi: Sukuma, Petro; hlaba, udle.
14 Kepha uPetru wathi: “Qha, Nkosi; ngoba kangizange ngikudle okungcolileyo lokungcolileyo.

17 Kwathi uPetru esangabaza phakathi kwakhe ukuthi uyini lowo mbono awubonileyo, bheka, amadoda abethunyiwe evela kuKorneliyu ayebuzile indlu kaSimoni, emi ngasesangweni;
18 Amemeza, abuza ukuthi uSimoni othiwa uPetru ungenisile yini khona.
19 UPetru esacabanga ngombono, uMoya wathi kuye: “Bheka, amadoda amathathu ayakufuna.
20 Ngakho sukuma wehle, uhambe nawo, ungangabazi ngalutho, ngokuba yimina engibathumile.
21 UPetru wehlela emadodeni abethunywe kuye evela kuKorneliyu; wathi: Bhekani, nginguye enimfunayo;
22 Base bethi: UKorneliyu induna yekhulu, indoda elungileyo nemesabayo uNkulunkulu, nodumo oluhle esizweni sonke samaJuda, uxwayiswe nguNkulunkulu ngengelosi engcwele ukuba akubize endlini yakhe, ezwe amazwi kwakho.
23 Wasebabizela phakathi, wabangenisa. Ngangomuso uPetru wahamba nabo, nabazalwane abathile baseJopha bamphelezela.
24 Ngangomuso bangena eKesariya. UKorneliyu wayebalindile, esebizele ndawonye izihlobo zakhe nabangane abaseduze.
25 Kwathi esangena uPetru, uKorneliyu wamhlangabeza, wawa phansi ezinyaweni zakhe, wakhuleka kuye.
26 Kodwa uPetro wamsukumisa, wathi: Sukuma; nami ngingumuntu.
27 Esakhuluma naye wangena, wafumana abaningi ababebuthene.
28 Wathi kubo: Niyazi ukuthi akuvunyelwe ukuba umuntu ongumJuda ahlangane noma eze kowesinye isizwe; kodwa uNkulunkulu ungibonisile ukuthi ngingabizi muntu ngokuthi ungcolile noma ungcolile.
29 Ngakho-ke ngizile kini ngingaphikanga lapho ngibiziwe; ngiyabuza-ke ukuthi ningibizeleni na?
30 UKorneliyu wathi: “Ezinsuku ezine ezidlule kwaze kwaba yileli hora ngizila ukudla; ngehora lesishiyagalolunye ngakhuleka endlini yami;
31 Yathi: “Korneliyu, ukukhuleka kwakho kuzwakele, nomusa wakho womusa ukhunjulwe phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
32 Ngakho thumela eJopha, ubize uSimoni othiwa uPetro; ungenisile endlini kaSimoni umtshuki wezikhumba ngaselwandle;
33 Ngakho ngithumela masinyane kuwe; futhi wenze kahle ukuthi uze. Manje-ke sikhona sonke phambi kukaNkulunkulu ukuba sizwe konke okuyalelwe nguNkulunkulu.
34 UPetro wasevula umlomo wakhe, wathi: Ngeqiniso ngiyabona ukuthi uNkulunkulu kabheki ubuso.
35 Kodwa ezizweni zonke omesabayo lowenza ukulunga uyamukeleka kuye.
36 Ilizwi uNkulunkulu alithumela kubantwana bakoIsrayeli, etshumayela ukuthula ngoJesu Kristu, yena oyiNkosi yabo bonke;
37 Niyalazi izwi elamenyezelwa kulo lonke elaseJudiya, liqala eGalile emva kobhapathizo alushumayelayo uJohane;
38 Ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamgcoba kanjani uJesu waseNazaretha ngoMoya oNgcwele nangamandla, owahamba enza okuhle, ephulukisa bonke ababecindezelwe nguSathane; ngoba uNkulunkulu wayelaye.
39 Nathi singofakazi bezinto zonke azenzayo ezweni labaJuda naseJerusalema; abambulala, bamphanyeka esihlahleni;

1 kaPetru 2 : 1 – 25
1 Ngakho lahlani ububi bonke, nobuqili bonke, nokuzenzisa, nomhawu, nakho konke ukuhleba;
2 Njengezingane ezisanda kuzalwa langazelelani ubisi lwezwi olungenakonakala, ukuze nikhule ngalo;
3 uma-ke ninambithile ukuthi iNkosi inomusa.
4 Okuza kuye njengetshe eliphilayo, elaliwayo ngempela ngabantu, kodwa elikhethiweyo nguNkulunkulu, eliyigugu;
5 Nani njengamatshe aphilayo nakhiwe nibe yindlu yomoya, ubupristi obungcwele, ukuze ninikele imihlatshelo yomoya eyamukelekayo kuNkulunkulu ngoJesu Kristu.
6 Ngakho-ke kukhona embhalweni ukuthi: Bheka, ngibeka eSiyoni itshe legumbi elikhethiweyo, eliyigugu; okholwa yiyo akayikujabhiswa.
7 Ngakho kini enikholwayo uligugu, kepha kwabangalaleli itshe abakhi abalalayo, yilo laba yinhloko yegumbi;
8 netshe lokukhubekisa, nedwala lokuwisa, kwabakhubekayo ngezwi ngokungalilaleli, ababemiselwe lokho futhi.
9 Kepha nina niluhlanga olukhethiweyo, ubupristi obobukhosi, isizwe esingcwele, abantu abazuziweyo; ukuze nishumayele ubukhosi balowo owanibiza niphume ebumnyameni, ningene ekukhanyeni kwakhe okumangalisayo;
10 enanikade ningesiso isizwe, kepha manje ningabantu bakaNkulunkulu, enaningahawukelwanga, kepha manje nihawukelwe.
11 Bathandekayo, ngiyanincenga njengabafokazi nezihambi ukuba nidede ezinkanukweni zenyama ezilwa nomphefumulo;
12 nibe nenkambo enhle phakathi kwabezizwe, ukuze kuthi, benihleba ngathi ningabenzi bokubi, babone imisebenzi yenu emihle abayoyibona, badumise uNkulunkulu ngosuku lokuhanjelwa.
13 Zithobeni kuzo zonke izimiso zabantu ngenxa yeNkosi: noma kusenkosini, njengophakeme;
14 noma kubabusi njengabathunywe nguye ukujezisa abenzi bokubi, batuswe abenza okuhle.
15 Ngokuba injalo intando kaNkulunkulu, ukuba ngokwenza okuhle nithulise ukungazi kwabantu abayiziwula;
16 njengabakhululekileyo, njalo lingasebenzisi inkululeko yenu njengesigubuzelo sobubi, kodwa njengezinceku zikaNkulunkulu.
17 Hloniphani abantu bonke. Thandani ubuzalwane. Mesabeni uNkulunkulu. Hlonipha inkosi.
18 Nina zinceku, thobelani amakhosi enu ngokwesaba konke; kungeyisikho kwabalungileyo labamnene kuphela, kodwa lakwabakhohlakeleyo.
19 Ngoba lokhu kuyabongeka, uba umuntu ngenxa kanembeza kuNkulunkulu ethwala usizi, ehlupheka ngokungafanele.
20 Ngokuba kuludumo luni, uma nibekezela nishaywa ngenxa yokona na? kepha uma nenza kahle nihlupheka ngenxa yalokho, nikubekezelela, lokho kuyabongeka kuNkulunkulu.
21 Ngokuba nabizelwa lokho, ngokuba uKristu wahlupheka ngenxa yethu, esishiyela isibonelo sokuba nilandele ezinyathelweni zakhe;
22 ongonanga, nenkohliso ayitholwanga emlonyeni wakhe;
23 owathi ethukwa, akaphindanga athuke; lapho ehlupheka, akasongelanga; kodwa wayezinikele kuye owahlulela ngokulunga.
24 Yena owathwala izono zethu emzimbeni wakhe emthini, ukuze thina sesifile ezonweni siphile ekulungeni, omivimbo yakhe naphulukiswa ngayo.
25 Ngokuba naninjengezimvu ezidukayo; kodwa manje selibuyele kuMalusi noMbonisi wemiphefumulo yenu.
