1 Phezu kwalokho, bazalwane, sinazisa ngomusa kaNkulunkulu ophiwe amabandla aseMakedoniya;
2 ukuthi ekulingweni okukhulu kosizi, ukuchichima kwentokozo yawo, nobumpofu bawo obukhulu, kwaphumela engcebweni yokuphana kwawo.
3 Ngokuba ngokwamandla abo ngiyafakaza, yebo, nangaphezu kwamandla abo bazinikela ngokuzithandela;
4 besinxusa ngokunxusa okukhulu ukuba samukele isipho, sihlanganyele ekukhonzeni abangcwele.
5 Futhi lokhu abakwenzanga njengokuthemba kwethu, kodwa bazinikela kuqala eNkosini nakithi ngentando kaNkulunkulu.
6 Ngangokuthi sanxusa uThithu, ukuthi, njengalokhu eseqalile, ngokunjalo agcwalise kini lowomusa lowo.
7 Ngakho-ke njengalokhu nivame kukho konke, ekukholweni, nasekukhulumeni, nasekwazini, nasekukhuthaleleni konke, nasothandweni lwenu kithi, bhekani ukuba nivame nakulo umusa.
8 Kangikhulumi ngomlayo, kodwa ngenxa yenkuthalo yabanye, ngivivinya ubuqotho bothando lwenu.
9 Ngokuba niyawazi umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, ukuthi nakuba ecebile waba mpofu ngenxa yenu, ukuze ngobumpofu bakhe nina nicebe.

11 Ngakho-ke qedani ukwenza kwakho; ukuze njengalokhu kwakukhona ukufisa, kanjalo kube khona nokufezeka kwalokho eninakho.
12 Ngokuba uma kuqala kukhona ukuvuma, kwamukeleka ngokwalokho umuntu anakho, kungenjengalokho angenakho.
13 Ngokuba angisho ukuthi abanye abantu bakhululeke, nina nisindwe;
14 kodwa ukulingana, ukuze kuthi khathesi inala yenu isizele ukuswela kwabo, ukuze lokunala kwabo kugcwalise ukuswela kwenu, ukuze kube lokulingana;
15 njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Owayebuthe okunengi akabanga nokusalela; nowabutha okuncane akaswelanga.
16 Kodwa makabongwe uNkulunkulu ofake inkuthalo efanayo enhliziyweni kaThithu ngani.
17 Ngokuba wemukela isiyalo; kodwa etshiseka kakhulu, waya kini ngokuthanda kwakhe.
18 Sithumile kanye naye umzalwane odumo lwakhe lukuvangeli emabandleni onke;
19 kakusikho lokho kuphela, kodwa lo okhethwe ngamabandla ukuthi ahambe lathi ngalomusa owenziwe yithi, kube yinkazimulo yeNkosi, njalo kubonakalise ukukhuthala kwenu;
20 sigwema lokhu, funa kube khona osisolayo kule nala esisezwa yithi;
21 sinakekela okuhle, kungephambi kweNkosi kuphela, kodwa lasemehlweni abantu.
22 Sithumile kanye nabo umzalwane wethu esimbonise kaningi ukuthi ukhuthele ezintweni eziningi, kepha manje ukhuthele kakhulu ngenxa yokuqiniseka okukhulu enginakho ngani.
23 Noma ngabe ubani obuza ngoThithu, ungumhlanganyeli nesisebenzi kanye nami kini; noma kubuzwa ngabazalwane bethu, bayizithunywa zamabandla nenkazimulo kaKristu.
24 Ngakho bonakalisani kubo naphambi kwamabandla ubufakazi bothando lwenu nokuzibonga kwethu ngani.

3 UJoshuwa nabo bonke abantu bempi bazilungiselela ukukhuphukela e-Ayi; uJoshuwa wakhetha amadoda anamandla ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu, wawamukisa ebusuku.
4 Wabayala wathi: “Bhekani, nilele niqapha umuzi, yebo, emva komuzi; ningahambi kude kakhulu nomuzi, kepha wonke umuntu makalungele.
5 Mina nabo bonke abantu abanami siyakusondela emzini, uma bephuma ukulwa nathi njengakuqala, siyakubaleka phambi kwabo;
6 (ngokuba bayakuphuma emva kwethu) size sibadonsele ngaphandle komuzi; ngoba bazakuthi: Babaleka phambi kwethu njengakuqala; ngakho-ke siyakubabalekela.
7 Khona-ke kumelwe usuke lapho oqamekele khona uwuthathe umuzi, ngoba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyowunikela esandleni sakho.
8 Lapho seniwuthathile umuzi, kumelwe niwuthungele ngomlilo; ngokomyalo kaJehova kumelwe nenze. Bhekani, nginiyalile.
9 UJoshuwa wabathuma, baqamekela, bahlala phakathi kweBethele ne-Ayi ngasentshonalanga kwase-Ayi; kepha uJoshuwa walala phakathi kwabantu ngalobo busuku.
10 UJoshuwa wayeseqeda ekuseni kakhulu, wababala abantu, wakhuphuka, yena namalunga akwa-Israyeli, phambi kwabantu waya e-Ayi.
11 Bonke abantu, amadoda empi ayekanye naye, bakhuphuka, basondela, bafika phambi komuzi, bamisa ngasenyakatho kwase-Ayi; kwakukhona isigodi phakathi kwabo ne-Ayi.
12 Wathatha amadoda kungathi izinkulungwane eziyisihlanu, wawaqamekela phakathi kweBethele ne-Ayi ngasentshonalanga komuzi.
13 Lapho sebemisa amadoda, yonke impi eyayisenyakatho yomuzi, nabaqambimanga bayo ngasentshonalanga komuzi, uJoshuwa wahamba ngalobo busuku phakathi nesigodi.
14 Inkosi yase-Ayi ikubona lokho, baqeda masinyane nangovivi; abantu bomuzi baphuma ukulwa no-Israyeli, yona nabantu bayo bonke, ngesikhathi esimisiweyo phambi kwethafa; kodwa wayengazi ukuthi ngemva komuzi kwakukhona ababemqamekele.
15 UJoshuwa nabo bonke abakwa-Israyeli benza sengathi bahluliwe phambi kwabo, babaleka ngendlela eya ehlane.
16 Bonke abantu ababese-Ayi babizelwa ndawonye ukuba babaxoshe, bamxosha uJoshuwa, basuka emzini.
17 Akwasala muntu e-Ayi naseBethele ongaphumanga ukulandela u-Israyeli; bawushiya umuzi uvulekile, baxosha u-Israyeli.
18 UJehova wayesethi kuJoshuwa: “Yelulela umkhonto osesandleni sakho ngase-Ayi; ngokuba ngiyakuwunikela esandleni sakho. UJoshuwa welulela umkhonto owawusesandleni sakhe ngasedolobheni.
19 Abaqamekeli bavuka masinyane endaweni yabo, bagijima lapho nje elula isandla sakhe; bangena emzini bawuthatha baphuthuma bawuthungela ngomlilo umuzi.
20 Amadoda ase-Ayi aqalaza, abona, bheka, umusi womuzi wenyukela ezulwini, awabanga namandla okubaleka ngapha nangapha; abantu ababebalekele ehlane babaphendukela ababebaxosha.
21 Lapho uJoshuwa no-Israyeli wonke bebona ukuthi abaqamekeli bawuthathile umuzi nokuthi umusi wawukhuphuka emzini, baphenduka bawabulala amadoda ase-Ayi.
22 Laba abanye baphuma emzini ukumelana labo; ayephakathi kukaIsrayeli, abanye ngalapha, abanye ngale; babanqoba, kangangokuthi abashiyanga noyedwa kubo owaphunyuka.
23 Bayibamba inkosi yase-Ayi iphila, bayiyisa kuJoshuwa;
24 Kwathi u-Israyeli eseqedile ukubulala bonke abakhileyo e-Ayi endle, ehlane ababebaxoshele kulo, sebewa bonke ngosiko lwenkemba baze baqedwa, wonke u-Israyeli wabuyela e-Ayi, wayinqoba. Yona ngobukhali benkemba.
25 Futhi kwenzeka ukuthi bonke abawa ngalolo suku, abesilisa nabesifazane, babe yizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili, wonke amadoda ase-Ayi.
26 UJoshuwa akasibuyisanga isandla sakhe ayewelule ngaso umkhonto, waze wababulala bonke abakhileyo e-Ayi ngesiqalekiso.
27 Izinkomo kuphela nempango yalowo muzi u-Israyeli wazithathela yona, njengezwi likaJehova ayala ngalo uJoshuwa.
28 UJoshuwa walishisa i-Ayi, walenza laba yinqwaba kuze kube phakade, ihlane kuze kube namuhla.
29 Inkosi yase-Ayi wayiphanyeka emthini kwaze kwahlwa; kwathi lapho nje ilanga selishonile, uJoshuwa wayala ukuba behlise isidumbu sakhe esihlahleni basijikijele ngasemnyango wesango lomuzi bamise phezu kwaso inqwaba enkulu yamatshe esekhona kuze kube yilolu suku.
30 UJoshuwa wamakhela uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli i-altare entabeni yase-Ebali,
31 njengalokho uMose inceku kaJehova wayala abantwana bakwa-Israyeli njengokulotshiweyo encwadini yomthetho kaMose, i-altare lamatshe aphelele, okungekho muntu owaphakamisa insimbi phezu kwalo; banikela phezu kwalo iminikelo yokushiswa kuJehova, banikela ngemihlatshelo yokubonga.
32 Waloba khona ematsheni ikhophi yomthetho kaMose awuloba phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
33 Wonke u-Israyeli, namalunga akhe, nezikhulu, nabahluleli bakhe, bema ngalapha komphongolo nangapha phambi kwabapristi, amaLevi athwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova, nomfokazi, naye wazalwa phakathi kwabo; inxenye yabo malungana nezintaba zeGerizimu, nenxenye yabo malungana nentaba yase-Ebali; njengalokho uMose inceku kaJehova ayala ngaphambili ukuba babusise abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
34 Ngemva kwalokho wafunda wonke amazwi omthetho, izibusiso neziqalekiso, ngokuvumelana nakho konke okulotshwe encwadini yomthetho.
35 Akubangakho nelilodwa izwi kukho konke uMose ayala ngakho, uJoshuwa angalifundanga phambi kwenhlangano yonke yakwa-Israyeli, nabesifazane, nabantwana, nabafokazi ababebazi phakathi kwabo.

7 Kwaba khona impi ezulwini: UMikayeli nezingelosi zakhe balwa nodrako; nodrako walwa nezingelosi zakhe;
8 Kodwa kazange anqobe; nendawo yabo ayibange isatholakala ezulwini.
9 Waphonswa phansi udrako omkhulu, inyoka endala ethiwa uDeveli noSathane, odukisa izwe lonke; waphonswa phansi emhlabeni, nezingelosi zakhe zaphonswa phansi kanye naye.

11 Bona bamehlula ngegazi leWundlu langezwi lobufakazi babo; futhi abakuthandanga ukuphila kwabo kwaze kwaba sekufeni.

5 Ngaphezu kwalokho, u-Amaziya wabizela ndawonye uJuda futhi wabenza izinduna zezinkulungwane nezinduna zamakhulu ngokwezindlu zoyise kulo lonke elakwaJuda noBhenjamini; amadoda, akwazi ukuya empini, ekwazi ukuphatha umkhonto nesihlangu.
6 Waqasha kwa-Israyeli amaqhawe anamandla ayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu ngamatalenta ayikhulu esiliva.

Amahubo 33 : 12 – 22
12 Sibusisiwe isizwe esiNkulunkulu waso nguJehova; nabantu abakhethile njengefa lakhe.
13 UJehova uyabheka esezulwini; uyababona bonke abantwana babantu.
14 Esendaweni yakhe yokuhlala uyababona bonke abakhileyo emhlabeni.
15 Wenza izinhliziyo zabo zilingane; uyayibona yonke imisebenzi yabo.
16 Akukho nkosi esindiswa ngobuningi bempi; iqhawe alisindiswa ngamandla amakhulu.
17 Ihhashi liyize ekuphepheni, futhi ngamandla alo amakhulu ngeke asindise muntu.
18 Bheka, iso likaJehova liphezu kwabamesabayo, abathemba umusa wakhe;
19 ukuze akhulule umphefumulo wabo ekufeni, abaphilise endlaleni.
20 Umphefumulo wethu ulindela uJehova; yena ulusizo lwethu nesihlangu sethu.
21 Ngokuba inhliziyo yethu iyakuthokoza ngaye, ngokuba sithemba igama lakhe elingcwele.
22 Umusa wakho, Jehova, mawube phezu kwethu, njengoba sithembele kuwe.

27 Indlu yayigcwele abesilisa nabesifazane; zonke izikhulu zamaFilisti zazilapho; ophahleni kwakukhona amadoda nabesifazane kungathi izinkulungwane ezintathu, bebukela uSamsoni edlala.
28 USamsoni wayesebiza uJehova, wathi: “Nkosi Jehova, ngikhumbule, ungiqinise kube kanye nje, Nkulunkulu, ukuze ngiphindisele kumaFilisti impindiselo yamehlo ami womabili.
29 USamsoni wabamba izinsika ezimbili eziphakathi indlu eyayimi phezu kwazo wamisa phezu kwazo, enye ngesandla sokunene nenye ngesandla sakhe sobunxele.
30 USamsoni wasesithi: Ake ngife lamaFilisti. Wakhothama ngamandla akhe onke; indlu yawela phezu kwezikhulu naphezu kwabo bonke abantu ababe kuyo. Ngakho abafileyo ababulala ekufeni kwakhe babe baningi kunalabo ababulala esaphila.

1 kaPetru 3 : 7
7 Kanjalo nani madoda, hlalani nabo ngokokwazi, nibanike udumo njengesitsha esibuthakathaka kakhudlwana, nanjengezindlalifa kanye nani zomusa wokuphila; ukuze imikhuleko yenu ithiye.

KwabaseRoma 13 : 1 – 14
1 Akube yilowo nalowo azithobe phansi kwamandla ombuso; Ngoba awekho amandla ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu: amandla akhona amiswe nguNkulunkulu.
2 Ngakho-ke omelana namandla umelana nesimiso sikaNkulunkulu;
3 Ngokuba ababusi kabesabeki kwabenza okuhle, kodwa kwabenza okubi. Pho, awuwesabi amandla na? yenza okuhle, futhi uyakuba nodumo yikho;
4 Ngokuba uyisikhonzi sikaNkulunkulu kuwe kube kuhle. Kepha uma wenza okubi, yesaba; ngokuba ayiphatheli ize inkemba, ngokuba iyisikhonzi sikaNkulunkulu, umphindiseli wokubuyisela ulaka kowenza okubi.
5 Ngakho-ke kufanele ukuzithoba, kungabi ngenxa yolaka kuphela, kodwa nangenxa kanembeza.
6 Ngokuba ngenxa yalokho nithela futhi, ngokuba bayizikhonzi zikaNkulunkulu ezikhuthalela khona lokho.
7 Nikani bonke okubafaneleyo; inkokhiso kubani; ukwesaba kokwesabayo; udumo kubani ukudunyiswa.
8 Ningakweleti muntu, kuphela elokuthandana, ngokuba othanda omunye uwugcwalisile umthetho.
9 Ngoba lokhu ukuthi: Ungaphingi, ungabulali, ungebi, ungafakazi amanga, ungafi; uma kukhona omunye umyalo, kufinyelelwe kuleli zwi lokuthi: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.
10 Uthando kalwenzi okubi kumakhelwane;
11 Nalokho nisazi isikhathi ukuthi sekuyihora lokuvuka ebuthongweni;
12 Ubusuku budlulile, usuku selusondele; ngakho-ke asilahle imisebenzi yobumnyama, sihlome izikhali zokukhanya.
13 Masihambe ngokufaneleyo njengasemini; kungabi ngokuzitika ngokuminza nokudakwa, kungabi ngamanyala namanyala, kungabi ngokuxabana nomhawu.
14 Kepha yembathani iNkosi uJesu Kristu, ningakhathaleli inyama ukuba nifeze izinkanuko zayo.

Johane 1 : 1 – 51
1 Ekuqaleni wayekhona uLizwi, uLizwi wayekuNkulunkulu, uLizwi wayenguNkulunkulu.
2 Yena lowo wayekhona ekuqaleni kuNkulunkulu.
3 Zonke izinto zenziwa nguye; ngaphandle kwakhe akubangakho lutho olwenziwe.
4 Kuye kwakukhona ukuphila; futhi ukuphila kwakungukukhanya kwabantu.
5 Ukukhanya kukhanya ebumnyameni; ubumnyama abukwamukelanga.
6 Kwavela umuntu ethunyiwe nguNkulunkulu, igama lakhe linguJohane.
7 Yena wezela ubufakazi, ukuze afakaze ngokukhanya, ukuze bonke bakholwe ngaye.
8 Yena wayengesikho ukukhanya, kepha wayengofakazi bokukhanya.
9 Kwakungukukhanya okuqinisileyo okukhanyisa wonke umuntu, okwase kuza ezweni.
10 Wayekhona ezweni, izwe lenziwa ngaye, kepha izwe alimazanga.
11 Weza kokwakhe, abakhe abamamukelanga.
12 Kepha bonke abamamukelayo wabapha amandla okuba babe ngabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, labo abakholwa egameni lakhe;
13 Abazalwa kungengagazi, noma ngentando yenyama, noma ngentando yomuntu, kodwa nguNkulunkulu.
14 ULizwi waba yinyama, wakha phakathi kwethu, sabona inkazimulo yakhe, inkazimulo njengeyozelwe yedwa kuYise, egcwele umusa neqiniso.
15 UJohane wafakaza ngaye, wamemeza wathi: “Nguyena lo ebengisho ngaye ukuthi: ‘Lowo ozayo emva kwami mkhulu kunami, ngokuba wayekhona kuqala kunami.
16 Ekugcwaleni kwakhe samukele sonke umusa phezu komusa.
17 Ngokuba umthetho wanikezwa ngoMose, umusa neqiniso kwavela ngoJesu Kristu.
18 Akakho oke wabona uNkulunkulu; iNdodana ezelwe yodwa esesifubeni sikaYise yiyona embonakalisile.
19 Lokhu kungubufakazi bukaJohane mhla abaJuda bethuma abapristi namaLevi bephuma eJerusalema ukuba bambuze ukuthi: “Wena ungubani na?
20 Wavuma, akaphika; kodwa wavuma wathi: Mina kangisiye uKristu.
21 Basebembuza bathi: Pho? Ungu-Eliya na? Wathi: Kangisuye. Unguye lowomprofethi na? Yaphendula yathi: Hatshi.
22 Base bethi kuye: “Ungubani na? ukuze siphendule abasithumileyo uthini ngawe?
23 Wathi: “Mina ngiyizwi lomemeza ehlane, ethi: ‘Lungisani indlela yeNkosi,’ njengalokho washo u-Isaya umprofethi.
24 Lababethunyiwe babevela kubaFarisi.
25 Bambuza-ke, bathi kuye: “Pho, ubhapathizelani, uma ungesiye uKristu, no-Eliya, noma lowomprofethi na?
26 UJohane wabaphendula wathi: “Mina ngibhapathiza ngamanzi, kepha kumi phakathi kwenu eningamaziyo;
27 nguye oza emva kwami, omi phambi kwami, engingafanele ukuthukulula umchilo wesicathulo sakhe.
28 Lezo zinto zenzeka eBethabara ngaphesheya kweJordani, lapho uJohane wayebhapathiza khona.
29 Ngangomuso wabona uJesu eza kuye, wathi: “Bheka, iWundlu likaNkulunkulu, elisusa izono zezwe.
30 Nguye ebengisho ngaye ukuthi: ‘Emva kwami kuza umuntu owavela ngaphambi kwami, ngokuba wayekhona kuqala kunami.
31 Nami bengingamazi, kodwa ukuze abonakaliswe ku-Israyeli, ngalokho ngizile ngibhapathiza ngamanzi.
32 UJohane wafakaza wathi: “Ngabona uMoya ehla ezulwini njengejuba, wahlala phezu kwakhe.
33 Nami bengingamazi, kodwa owangithuma ukubhapathiza ngamanzi, nguyena wathi kimi: “Lowo ozakubona uMoya ehla ahlale phezu kwakhe, nguyena obhapathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele.
34 Mina ngibonile, ngafakaza ukuthi lo uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
35 Ngangomuso futhi wayemi uJohane nababili kubafundi bakhe;
36 Ebona uJesu ehamba, wathi: “Bheka, iWundlu likaNkulunkulu!
37 Abafundi ababili bezwa ekhuluma, bamlandela uJesu.
38 UJesu waphenduka, wababona belandela, wathi kubo: Nifunani na? Basebesithi kuye: Rabi, (okutsho ukuthi, Mfundisi,) uhlala ngaphi?
39 Wathi kubo: Wozani nibone. Beza babona lapho ehlala khona, bahlala naye lolo suku, ngokuba kwakungaba yihora leshumi.
40 Omunye wababili abezwa uJohane ekhuluma bamlandela wayengu-Andreya umfowabo kaSimoni Petru.
41 Yena wafumana kuqala umfowabo uSimoni, wathi kuye: “Simfumene uMesiya” okungukuthi ngokuhunyushwa uKristu.
42 Yamletha kuJesu. UJesu embuka wathi: “Wena unguSimoni kaJona;
43 Ngangomuso wafuna ukuphuma aye eGalile, wafumana uFiliphu, wathi kuye: “Ngilandele.
44 UFiliphu wayengowaseBetsayida, umuzi ka-Andreya noPetru.
45 UFiliphu wafumana uNathanayeli, wathi kuye: “Simfumene lowo aloba ngaye emthethweni uMose kanye nabaprofethi, uJesu waseNazaretha, indodana kaJosefa.
46 UNathanayeli wasesithi kuye: Kambe kukhona into enhle evela eNazaretha? UFiliphu wathi kuye: Woza ubone.
47 UJesu wabona uNathanayeli eza kuye, wathi ngaye: “Bheka, umIsrayeli okungekho nkohliso kuye.
48 UNathanayeli wathi kuye: “Ungazelaphi na? UJesu waphendula, wathi kuye: Ngaphambi kokuthi uFiliphu akubize, uphansi komkhiwane, ngakubona.
49 UNathanayeli waphendula, wathi kuye: “Rabi, wena uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu; wena uyiNkosi yakwa-Israyeli.
50 UJesu waphendula, wathi kuye: Uyakholwa ngokuba ngithe kuwe ngikubone uphansi komkhiwane? uzabona izinto ezinkulu kulalezi.
51 Wathi kuye: “Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Niyakubona izulu livulekile, nezingelosi zikaNkulunkulu zenyuka zehla phezu kweNdodana yomuntu.
