5 Athi eseyitholile, ayibeke emahlombe akhe ethokoza.
6 Esefikile ekhaya, abizele ndawonye abangani bakhe nomakhelwane, athi kubo: “Thokozani nami; ngoba ngiyitholile imvu yami ebilahlekile.
7 Ngithi kini: Kanjalo kuyakuba khona ukuthokoza ezulwini ngesoni sisinye esiphendukayo, kunabalungileyo abangamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesishiyagalolunye abangadingi kuphenduka.

9 Athi eseyitholile, abizele ndawonye abangane bakhe nomakhelwane, athi: ‘Thokozani nami; ngokuba ngilutholile ucezu ebengingilahlekele.
10 Kanjalo, ngithi kini: Kukhona ukuthokoza phambi kwezingelosi zikaNkulunkulu ngesoni sisinye esiphendukayo.
11 Wathi: “Umuntu othile wayenamadodana amabili;
12 Encane yawo yathi kuyise: ‘Baba, nginike isabelo sempahla esiqondene nami.’ Futhi wabahlukanisela impahla yakhe.
13 Kwathi emva kwezinsuku ezingeziningi indodana encane yayisibutha konke, yamuka, yaya ezweni elikude;
14 Esechithe konke, kwaba khona indlala enkulu kulelo zwe; waqala ukuswela.
15 Wasehamba wazihlanganisa nesakhamuzi salelo zwe; Wayithumela emadlelweni akhe ukuba yaluse izingulube.
16 Wayesefisa ukugcwalisa isisu sakhe ngamakhoba adliwa yizingulube, kepha kwakungekho muntu owamnikayo.
17 Kwathi lapho isanguluka yathi: ‘Bangaki abaqashwa bakababa abanesinkwa esanele, kanti mina ngifa indlala.
18 Ngiyakusuka, ngiye kubaba, ngithi kuye: Baba, ngonile kulo izulu naphambi kwakho;
19 Angisafanele ukuthiwa indodana yakho; ngenze ngibe njengomunye wabaqashwa bakho.
20 Yasuka, yaya kuyise. Kuthe isekude, uyise wayibona, waba nesihe, wagijima, wawa entanyeni yakhe, wayanga.
21 Indodana yathi kuye: ‘Baba, ngonile kulo izulu naphambi kwakho, angisafanele ukuthiwa indodana yakho.’
22 Kodwa uyise wathi ezincekwini zakhe: Khuphani nikhiphe ingubo enhle kunazo zonke, niyembathise; wafaka indandatho esandleni sakhe, nezicathulo ezinyaweni zakhe;
23 Nilethe ithole elikhuluphalisiwe, nilihlabe; futhi asidle, sijabule;
24 Ngokuba le ndodana yami ibifile, isiyaphila futhi; ubelahlekile, usetholakele. Basebeqala ukujabula.
25 Indodana yakhe enkulu yayisensimini; yathi isiza isondela endlini, yezwa ukuhlabelela nokusina.
26 Yabiza enye yezinceku, yabuza ukuthi ziyini lezi zinto.
27 Wathi kuye: “Umfowenu ufikile; uyihlo uhlabile ithole elikhuluphalisiwe, ngokuba umamukele ephilile.

2 Ngibekezeleleni kancane, futhi ngizonikhombisa ukuthi ngisamkhulumela uNkulunkulu.
3 Ngiyakususela kude ukwazi kwami, ngibeke ukulunga koMenzi wami.
4 Ngokuba ngempela, amazwi ami awasiwo amanga; ophelele ekwazini ukini.
5 Bheka, uNkulunkulu unamandla, akadeleli muntu; Unamandla amakhulu nokuhlakanipha.
6 Akagcini ukuphila kwababi, kepha unika abampofu ubulungisa.
7 Akawasusi amehlo akhe kwabalungileyo, kepha uhlezi kanye namakhosi esihlalweni sobukhosi; yebo, uyazimisa kuze kube phakade, futhi ziphakeme.
8 Futhi uma beboshwe ngamaketanga, beboshwe ngezintambo zosizi;
9 Ngemva kwalokho Ubabonisa umsebenzi wabo neziphambeko zabo ukuthi baphambukile.
10 Futhi uvula izindlebe zabo ekulayweni futhi uyabalaya ukuthi baphenduke ebubini.
11 Uma belalela futhi bemkhonza, bayochitha izinsuku zabo ebuhleni neminyaka yabo ebumnandini.
12 Kodwa uma bengalaleli, bayobhubha ngenkemba futhi bafe bengenalwazi.
13 Kepha abazenzisi benhliziyo babutha ulaka; abakhali uma Ebabopha.
14 Bafa besebasha, nokuphila kwabo kuphakathi kwabangcolileyo.
15 Uyabasindisa abampofu osizini, avule izindlebe zabo ekuhluphekeni.
16 Kanjalo ubeyakunisusa ekubandezelekeni, akuyise endaweni ebanzi lapho kungekho khona usizi; okubekwe phezu kwetafula lakho kuyakugcwala amanoni.
17 Kodwa wena usuqedile ukwahlulelwa kwababi; ukwahlulela nokulunga kuyakubamba.
18 Ngokuba kukhona ulaka, xwayani funa aniphuce ngokushaywa kwakhe; khona-ke isihlengo esikhulu ngeke sikusindise.
19 Iyakunaka ingcebo yakho na? qha, hhayi igolide, noma wonke amandla.
20 Ungafisi ubusuku lapho abantu beyonqunywa endaweni yabo.
21 Qaphela, unganaki ububi, ngokuba ukukhethile kunosizi.
22 Bheka, uNkulunkulu uphakeme ngamandla akhe; ngubani ofundisa njengaye na?
23 Ngubani owamlaya indlela yakhe? ngubani ongasho ukuthi: ‘Wenzile okubi na?
24 Khumbula ukuthi ukhulisa umsebenzi wakhe obonwa ngabantu.
25 Wonke umuntu angakubona; umuntu angayibona kude.
26 Bhekani, uNkulunkulu mkhulu, kepha asimazi, nenani leminyaka yakhe alinakulandelwa.
27 Ngokuba wenza amathonsi amanzi abe mancane; bathele imvula njengenkungu yayo;
28 owenza amafu awe futhi agcwale phezu kwabantu.
29 Ukhona yini ongaqonda ukwendlaleka kwamafu noma umsindo wetabernakele lakhe?
30 Bheka, uyeneka ukukhanya kwakhe phezu kwalo, asibekele ukujula kolwandle.
31 Ngoba ngazo uyahlulela abantu; unika inyama ngobunengi.
32 Wembesa ukukhanya ngamafu; futhi iyala ukuthi ingakhanyi phakathi kwefu elingenelelayo.
33 Umsindo wayo ubonisa ukukhukhuleka kwayo, nokukhukhula phezu komhwamuko.

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;
6 yena ungenisile kaSimoni othile, umtshuki wezikhumba, ondlu yakhe ingaselwandle;
7 Kwathi isimukile ingelosi eyayikhuluma noKorneliyu, wabiza ababili bendlu yakhe nebutho elikholwayo kulabo ababemlindile njalo;
8 Esebalandisile zonke lezo zinto, wabathuma eJopha.
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.
15 Izwi labuye lakhuluma kuye ngokwesibili, lathi: “Lokho uNkulunkulu akuhlambululileyo, wena ungasho ukuthi kungcolile.
16 Lokho kwenzeka kathathu; isitsha senyuselwa futhi ezulwini.
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;
40 yena uNkulunkulu wamvusa ngosuku lwesithathu, wambonakalisa obala;

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.
