5 Ngiyanifungisa, madodakazi aseJerusalema, ngezimpungushe nangendluzele yasendle, ukuba ningaluvusi, ningaluvusi uthando lwami, lungakamthandi.

1 kaJohane 2 : 1 – 29
1 Bantwana bami, nginilobela lokhu ukuba ningoni. Uma umuntu ona, sinoMmeli kuYise, uJesu Kristu olungileyo;
2 yena uyinhlawulo yezono zethu, kungengezethu zodwa, kodwa nezono zezwe lonke.
3 Ngalokho siyazi ukuthi siyamazi yena, uma sigcina imiyalo yakhe.
4 Lowo othi: “Ngiyamazi,” engagcini imiyalo yakhe, ungumqambimanga, neqiniso alikho kuye.
5 Kepha ogcina izwi lakhe, uthando lukaNkulunkulu luphelelisiwe kuye impela; ngalokho siyazi ukuthi sikuye.
6 Lowo othi uhlala kuye, yena umelwe ukuhamba njengalokho ahamba yena.
7 Bazalwane, anginilobeli umyalo omusha, kodwa umyalo omdala enaninawo kwasekuqaleni. Umyalo omdala uyizwi enalizwa kwasekuqaleni.
8 Futhi nginilobela umyalo omusha, okuliqiniso kuye nakini, ngokuba ubumnyama buyadlula, nokukhanya kweqiniso sekuyakhanya.
9 Lowo othi usekukhanyeni, kodwa ezonda umzalwane wakhe, usebumnyameni kuze kube manje.
10 Lowo othanda umzalwane wakhe uhlala ekukhanyeni, njalo kakulasikhubekiso kuye.
11 Kepha ozonda umzalwane wakhe usebumnyameni, uhamba ebumnyameni, akazi lapho eya khona, ngokuba ubumnyama buwaphuphuthekisile amehlo akhe.
12 Ngiyalibhalela, bantwanyana, ngoba izono zenu zithethelelwe ngenxa yebizo lakhe.
13 Ngiyanilobela bobaba, ngokuba nimazile okhona kwasekuqaleni. Ngiyanilobela, zinsizwa, ngokuba nimnqobile omubi. Ngiyanilobela, bantwanyana, ngokuba nimazile uBaba.
14 Ngililobele, bobaba, ngoba limazile yena okhona kusukela ekuqaleni. Nginilobele, zinsizwa, ngokuba ninamandla, nezwi likaNkulunkulu lihlezi kini, nimnqobile omubi.
15 Ningathandi izwe nezinto ezisezweni. Uma umuntu ethanda izwe, uthando lukaBaba alukho kuye.
16 Ngokuba konke okusezweni, inkanuko yenyama, nenkanuko yamehlo, nokuzigabisa ngalokhukuphila, akuveli kuYise, kodwa kuvela ezweni.
17 Izwe liyadlula kanye nenkanuko yalo, kepha owenza intando kaNkulunkulu uhlala kuze kube phakade.
18 Bantwanyana, sekuyisikhathi sokugcina, njengalokho nezwa ukuthi umphikukristu uyeza, nakalokhu sekukhona abaphikukristu abaningi; ngalokho siyazi ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokugcina.
19 Baphuma kithi, kodwa babengesibo abakithi; ngoba uba babengabakithi, ngabe bahlala lathi;
20 Kodwa nina ninokugcotshwa okuvela koNgcwele, futhi niyazi zonke izinto.
21 Kangilibhalelanga ngoba lingalazi iqiniso, kodwa ngoba lilazi, lokuthi kakulamanga avela eqinisweni.
22 Ngubani ongumqambimanga ngaphandle kwalowo ophika ukuthi uJesu unguKristu na? Ungumphikukristu, ophika uYise neNdodana.
23 Ophika iNdodana akanaye uYise, kepha ovuma iNdodana unaye noYise.
24 Ngakho-ke lokho enakuzwa kusukela ekuqaleni makuhlale kini. Uma lokho enakuzwa kwasekuqaleni kuhlala kini, nani niyohlala eNdodaneni nakuBaba.
25 Yilesi isithembiso asithembisa sona: ukuphila okuphakade.
26 Nginilobele lezi zinto ngabadukisayo.
27 Kepha ukugcotshwa enakwemukela kuye kuhlala kini, anidingi ukuba ubani anifundise, nihlale kuye.
28 Manje, bantwanyana, hlalani kuye; ukuze kuthi, nxa esebonakala, sibe lesibindi, singabi lenhloni phambi kwakhe ekufikeni kwakhe.
29 Uma nazi ukuthi ulungile, yazini ukuthi wonke owenza ukulunga uzelwe nguye.

28 Wayesebuya ehlezi enqoleni yakhe efunda umprofethi u-Isaya.
29 UMoya wayesethi kuFiliphu: “Sondela, unamathele kule nqola;
30 UFiliphu wagijima waya kuyo, wayizwa ifunda umprofethi u-Isaya, wathi: “Uyakuqonda yini okufundayo na?
31 Wathi: Ngingakwazi kanjani, ngaphandle kokuba umuntu angiqondise na? Yasicela uFiliphu ukuthi akhwele ahlale layo.
32 Indawo yombhalo eyayiwufunda yayisithi: Wayiswa ekuhlatshweni njengemvu; nanjengewundlu elithule phambi komgundi walo, akawuvulanga umlomo wakhe;
33 Ekuthotshisweni kwakhe ukwahlulelwa kwakhe kwasuswa; njalo ngubani ongalandisa ngesizukulwana sakhe? ngoba ukuphila kwakhe kuyasuswa emhlabeni.
34 Umthenwa waphendula uFiliphu, wathi: “Ngiyakuncenga, umprofethi ukhuluma lokhu ngobani na? ngaye, noma ngomunye umuntu na?
35 UFiliphu wayesevula umlomo wakhe, waqala ngawo lowo mbhalo, washumayela ivangeli ngoJesu.
36 Kwathi besahamba endleleni, bafika emanzini; umthenwa wathi: Khangela, nanka amanzi; kwalani ukuba ngibhapathizwe na?
37 UFiliphu wasesithi: Uba ukholwa ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, kungenziwa. Wasephendula wathi: Ngiyakholwa ukuthi uJesu Kristu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
38 Wayala ukuba inqola ime; behla bobabili emanzini, uFiliphu nomthenwa; wasembhabhathiza.

1 Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Gcina ukulunga, nenze ukulunga, ngokuba insindiso yami iseduze ukufika, nokulunga kwami ukwambulwa.
2 Ubusisiwe umuntu okwenzayo nendodana yomuntu ebambelela kukho; ogcina isabatha ukuze angalingcolisi, ogcina isandla sakhe singenzi okubi.
3 Njalo indodana yowezizweni ozihlanganisa le Nkosi ingakhulumi ithi: I Nkosi ingahlukanisele lokungihlukanisa labantu bayo; nenduna mayingasho ukuthi: Bheka, ngimuthi owomileyo.
4 Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova kubathenwa abagcina amasabatha ami, bakhetha engikuthandayo, nababambelela esivumelwaneni sami;
5 Nabo ngiyakubanika endlini yami naphakathi kwezindonga zami indawo negama elingcono kunelamadodana namadodakazi; ngiyakubanika igama eliphakade, elingayikunqunywa.
6 Futhi abantwana bowezizwe abazihlanganisa noJehova ukumkhonza nokuthanda igama likaJehova ukuba babe yizinceku zakhe, wonke ogcina isabatha ukulingcolisa, abambe isivumelwano sami;
7 Ngisho nami ngiyobaletha entabeni yami engcwele futhi bajabule endlini yami yokukhuleka; iminikelo yabo yokushiswa neminikelo yabo iyakwamukeleka e-altare lami; ngoba indlu yami izabizwa ngokuthi yindlu yokukhuleka yabantu bonke.
8 INkosi uJehova, ebutha abaxoshiweyo bakwa-Israyeli, ithi: “Nokho ngiyakubuthela abanye kuye, ngaphandle kwalabo ababuthelwe kuye.
9 Nina nonke zilwane zasendle, wozani nizodla, yebo, nonke nina zilwane zehlathi.
10 Abalindi bakhe bayizimpumputhe, bonke abanalwazi, bonke bayizinja eziyizimungulu, azikwazi ukukhonkotha; lala, qamba amanga, uthanda ukulala.
11 Yebo, bayizinja ezihahayo ezingenakusutha, futhi bangabelusi abangaqondi; bonke babheka endleleni yabo, yilowo nalowo ukuze azuze, endaweni yakhe.
12 Wozani, bathi: Ngizaletha iwayini, futhi sizasuthisa ngophuzo olulamandla; kusasa lizakuba njenganamuhla, libe lichime kakhulu.

2 UJehova wanikela uJehoyakimi, inkosi yakwaJuda, esandleni sakhe kanye nengxenye yezitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu aziletha ezweni laseShineyari endlini kankulunkulu wakhe; wazingenisa izitsha endlini yengcebo kankulunkulu wakhe.
3 Inkosi yasikhuluma ku-Aspenasi induna yabathenwa bakhe ukuthi alethe abanye babantwana bakoIsrayeli labenzalo yenkosi leyeziphathamandla;
4 Abantwana abangenasici kubo, kodwa abathandekayo nabanamandla kukho konke ukuhlakanipha nobuqili olwazini nasekuqondeni kwesayensi, ababenamandla okuma esigodlweni senkosi, ababengafundisa kubo ukufunda nolimi lamaKaledi.
5 Inkosi yababekela isabelo semihla ngemihla sokudla kwenkosi nesewayini eliphuzayo; ngakho wabapha ukudla iminyaka emithathu, ukuze ekupheleni kwayo beme phambi kwenkosi.

11 Khona-ke uDaniyeli wathi kuMelzari owabeka induna yezikhulu phezu kukaDaniyeli, uHananiya, uMishayeli no-Azariya:
12 Zivivinye izinceku zakho izinsuku eziyishumi; futhi mabasinike imifino ukuze sidle namanzi ukuba siphuze.
13 Khona ubuso bethu mabube ubuso bakho nobuso babantwana abadla isabelo sokudla kwenkosi, wenze ezincekwini zakho ngokubona kwakho.
14 Wavumelana nabo kule ndaba, wabavivinya izinsuku eziyishumi.
15 Ekupheleni kwezinsuku eziyishumi ubuso babo babonakala buhle kakhulu, zikhuluphele kunabo bonke abantwana abadla ukudla kwenkosi.
16 Ngakho uMelzari wathatha ingxenye yenyama yabo newayini ababenalo ukuze baliphuze; futhi wanikeza umphefumulo wabo.
17 Kepha laba bantwana abane uNkulunkulu wabanika ukwazi nokuqonda kuyo yonke imfundo nokuhlakanipha; uDaniyeli wayenengqondo kuyo yonke imibono namaphupho.
18 Kwathi ekupheleni kwezinsuku inkosi eyayithe mabangeniswe ngazo, induna yabalindi yabangenisa phambi kukaNebukadinesari.
19 Inkosi yasikhuluma kubo; futhi phakathi kwabo bonke akutholakalanga owayenjengoDaniyeli, uHananiya, uMishayeli, no-Azariya; ngakho bema phambi kwenkosi.
20 Kuzo zonke izindaba zokuhlakanipha nokuqonda inkosi eyayibabuza yona, yathola ukuthi babengcono ngokuphindwe kashumi kunabo bonke abahlola imilingo nabahlola izinkanyezi ababesembusweni wayo wonke.
