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.

UNumeri 14 : 27

Amahubo 109 : 1 – 31
1 Kumholi wokuhlabelela, ihubo likaDavide. Thula, Nkulunkulu wodumo lwami;
2 Ngokuba umlomo wababi nomlomo wabakhohlisayo bangivulele; bakhulume ngami ngolimi lwamanga.
3 Bangihaqa ngamazwi enzondo; walwa nami ngaphandle kwesizathu.
4 Ngenxa yothando lwami bayizitha zami, kepha mina ngiyazinikela emkhulekweni.
5 Babuyisela ububi bami ngokuhle, nenzondo ngothando lwami.
6 Beka omubi phezu kwakhe, uSathane ame ngakwesokunene sakhe.
7 Lapho ehlulelwa, makalahlwe, umkhuleko wakhe ube yisono.
8 Izinsuku zakhe mazibe yingcosana; omunye abambe isikhundla sakhe.
9 Abantwana bakhe mababe yizintandane, nomkakhe abe ngumfelokazi.
10 Abantwana bakhe mabazulazule, bancenge njalo; mabafune ukudla kwabo ezindaweni zabo eziyincithakalo.
11 Umkhohlisi makathathe konke anakho; abafokazi mabaphange umshikashika wakhe.
12 Kakungabi lomusa kuye;
13 Inzalo yakhe mayinqunywe; igama labo malisulwe esizukulwaneni esilandelayo.
14 Ububi bawoyise mabukhunjulwe phambi kukaJehova; nesono sikanina masingasulwa.
15 Mababe phambi kukaJehova njalo, ukuze asuse ukukhunjulwa kwabo emhlabeni.
16 Ngoba wayengacabangi ukwenza isihawu, kodwa wazingela ompofu loswelayo, ukuze abulale labadabukileyo enhliziyweni.
17 Njengokuthanda kwakhe ukuqalekisa, makwehlele kuye; njengoba wayengathokozi ngokubusisa, kakube khatshana laye.
18 Njengokwembatha isiqalekiso njengengubo yakhe, kwangena ezibilinini zakhe njengamanzi nanjengamafutha emathanjeni akhe.
19 Makube kuye njengesambatho esimbathayo, nanjengebhande azibhince ngalo lonke.
20 Lokhu makube ngumvuzo wezitha zami zikaJehova nowabakhuluma kabi ngomphefumulo wami.
21 Kodwa Jehova, Jehova, ngenzela mina ngenxa yegama lakho; ngoba umusa wakho muhle, ngikhulule.
22 Ngokuba ngimpofu, ngimpofu, nenhliziyo yami ilimele phakathi kwami.
23 Ngihambile njengesithunzi lapho sehla; ngijikijelwa phansi njengentethe.
24 Amadolo ami abuthakathaka ngenxa yamandla; nenyama yami iyabhubha ngamanoni.
25 Nami ngaba yisihlamba kubo; uma bengibheka banikine amakhanda.
26 Ngisize, Jehova Nkulunkulu wami, ngisindise ngokomusa wakho;
27 ukuze bazi ukuthi yisandla sakho; ukuthi wena Jehova ukwenzile.
28 Mabaqalekise, kepha bakubusise; uma besukuma, mababe namahloni; kepha mayijabule inceku yakho.
29 Abamelene nami mabembeswe amahloni, bazimboze ngesiyaluyalu sabo njengesembatho.
30 Ngizamdumisa kakhulu uJehova ngomlomo wami; yebo, ngiyakumdumisa phakathi kwesixuku.
31 Ngoba uyokuma ngakwesokunene sompofu, ukuze amsindise kulabo abalahla umphefumulo wakhe.

1 kuThimothewu 2 : 1 – 15
1 Ngakho-ke kuqala kukho konke ngiyala ukuba ukunxusa, nokukhuleka, nokunxusa, nokubonga kwenzelwe abantu bonke;
2 Ngeyamakhosi, nakubo bonke abakhulu; ukuze siphile impilo ezolileyo lenokuthula kukho konke ukuhlonipha uNkulunkulu lobuqotho.
3 Ngokuba lokhu kuhle, kuyabongeka phambi kukaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu;
4 Othanda ukuba bonke abantu basindiswe, bafinyelele olwazini lweqiniso.
5 Ngokuba munye uNkulunkulu, munye nomlamuleli phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu, umuntu uKristu Jesu;
6 owazinikela abe yinhlawulo yabo bonke, kube ngubufakazi ngesikhathi esifaneleyo.
7 Engamiselwa ngakho ukuthi ngibe ngumshumayeli nomphostoli (ngikhuluma iqiniso ngoKristu, angiqambi amanga), umfundisi wabezizwe ekukholweni naseqinisweni.
8 Ngakho-ke ngithanda ukuba amadoda akhuleke ezindaweni zonke, ephakamisa izandla ezingcwele, ngaphandle kolaka nokungabaza.
9 Kanjalo nabesifazane mabagqoke izingubo ezifaneleyo, bazihlobise ngokuhlonipha nokuqonda; kungabi ngezinwele ezalukiweyo, negolide, namaparele, nezambatho ezinenani elikhulu;
10 Kodwa (okufanele abesifazane abathi besaba uNkulunkulu) benze imisebenzi emihle.
11 Owesifazane makafunde ethule ngokuzithoba konke.
12 Kepha angimvumeli owesifazane ukuba afundise, nokuba abuse phezu kwendoda, kodwa ukuba athule.
13 Ngokuba u-Adamu wabunjwa kuqala, kwase kuba u-Eva.
14 Futhi u-Adamu akakhohliswanga, kodwa owesifazane ekhohlisiwe waba esonweni.
15 Nokho uyakusindiswa ngokuzala abantwana, uma behlala ekukholweni nasothandweni nasebungcweleni kanye nokuqonda.

Umshumayeli 3 : 14
14 Ngiyazi ukuthi konke uNkulunkulu akwenzayo kuyakuba khona kuze kube phakade; akukho okungalethwa kukho futhi akukho okuthathwe kukho; futhi uNkulunkulu uyakwenza lokhu, ukuze abantu bamesabe.

1 kwabaseKorinte 2 : 1 – 16
1 Nami, bazalwane, ekufikeni kwami kini angifikanga ngobungcweti bokukhuluma nobokuhlakanipha, ngimemezela kini ubufakazi bukaNkulunkulu.
2 Ngokuba nganquma ukungazi lutho phakathi kwenu, kuphela uJesu Kristu, naye obethelwe esiphambanweni.
3 Mina ngangikini ngobuthakathaka, nangokwesaba, nangokuthuthumela okukhulu.
4 Nokukhuluma kwami nokushumayela kwami akubanga ngamazwi okuhlakanipha ahungayo, kepha kwaba ngesibonakaliso sikaMoya namandla;
5 ukuze ukholo lwenu lungabi ngokuhlakanipha kwabantu, kodwa lube semandleni kaNkulunkulu.
6 Kepha sikhuluma ukuhlakanipha phakathi kwabapheleleyo, ukuhlakanipha okungesikho okwaleli zwe nokwababusi balesi sikhathi ababhubhayo;
7 Kodwa sikhuluma ukuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu emfihlakalweni, ukuhlakanipha okufihliweyo, uNkulunkulu akumisa kungakabi khona umhlaba kube yinkazimulo yethu;
8 Okungekho noyedwa wababusi balumhlaba okwaziyo, ngoba uba babekwazi, ngabe kabayibethela iNkosi yenkazimulo esiphambanweni.
9 Kepha kunjengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: “Iso elingakubonanga, nendlebe engakuzwanga, okungangenanga enhliziyweni yomuntu lokho uNkulunkulu akulungisela abamthandayo.
10 Kodwa uNkulunkulu ukwambulile kithi ngoMoya wakhe;
11 Ngokuba ngumuphi umuntu owazi okomuntu, kuphela umoya womuntu okuye na? ngokunjalo nezinto zikaNkulunkulu akakho ozaziyo, kuphela uMoya kaNkulunkulu.
12 Kepha thina asamukelanga umoya wezwe, kodwa umoya ovela kuNkulunkulu; ukuze sazi izinto esiphiwe ngesihle nguNkulunkulu.
13 Esizikhulumayo futhi, kungengamazwi esiwafundiswa ngokuhlakanipha kwabantu, kodwa angawafundiswa nguMoya oNgcwele; siqhathanisa izinto ezingokomoya nezingokomoya.
14 Kepha umuntu wemvelo kakwamukeli okukaMoya kaNkulunkulu, ngokuba kungubuwula kuye;
15 Kepha ongowomoya uhlola zonke izinto, kepha yena akahlolwa ngumuntu.
16 Ngokuba ngubani owazi umqondo weNkosi ukuba ayifundise na? Kodwa thina sinomqondo kaKristu.

U-Isaya 1 : 1 – 31
1 Umbono ka-Isaya, indodana ka-Amose, awubonayo ngoJuda neJerusalema emihleni ka-Uziya, noJothamu, no-Ahazi, noHezekiya, amakhosi akwaJuda.
2 Yizwani, mazulu, uzwe, wena mhlaba, ngokuba uJehova ukhulumile, wathi: “Ngondlile ngakhulisa abantwana, kodwa bangihlubukile.
3 Inkabi iyamazi umniniyo, nembongolo iyamazi umkhombe womnumzane wayo, kepha u-Israyeli akazi, abantu bami abalaleli.
4 O sizwe esonayo, abantu abasindwa ngobubi, sizukulwane sabenzi bokubi, bantwana abonakele; bamshiyile uJehova, bamklolodela oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, bahlehla nyovane.
5 Usalokhu ushaywa ngani? niyakudlubulunda ngokwandayo; lonke ikhanda liyagula, nenhliziyo yonke ibuthakathaka.
6 Kusukela ematheni onyawo kuze kufike ekhanda akukho muntu ophilayo kuwo; kodwa imivimbo nemivimbo namathumba abolayo;
7 Izwe lakini liyincithakalo, imizi yenu ishisiwe ngomlilo; izwe lenu abafokazi bayalidla phambi kwenu, liyincithakalo njengokuchithwa kwabafokazi.
8 Indodakazi yaseSiyoni yashiywa njengendlwana esivinini, njengombhede ensimini yamakhukhamba, njengomuzi ovinjezelwe.
9 Ukube uJehova Sebawoti ubengasishiyelanga insali encane, ngabe sifana neSodoma, sifana neGomora.
10 Yizwani izwi likaJehova nina baphathi baseSodoma! lalelani umthetho kaNkulunkulu wethu, bantu baseGomora!
11 Buyini ubuningi bemihlatshelo yenu kimi na? usho uJehova, uthi: “Ngigcwele iminikelo yokushiswa yezinqama namanoni ezinkomo ezikhuluphalisiweyo; futhi angithokozi ngegazi lezinkunzi nelewundlu noma lezimbuzi.
12 Uma niza ukubonakala phambi kwami, ngubani okufunileyo lokhu ukuba ningene emagcekeni ami na?
13 Ningabe nisaletha izipho eziyize; izithako ziyisinengiso kimi; ukwethwasa kwenyanga namasabatha, ukubiza imibuthano, anginakukuqeda; kungububi, ngitsho umkhosi.
14 Ukwethwasa kwezinyanga zenu nemikhosi yenu kuyawuzonda umphefumulo wami; kulusizi kimi; Sengikhathele ukuwagqoka.
15 Uma nelula izandla zenu, ngiyakuwafihla amehlo ami kini; yebo, uma nikhuleka kakhulu, angiyikuzwa; izandla zakho zigcwele igazi.
16 Gezani, nihlanzeke; susani ububi bezenzo zenu phambi kwamehlo ami; yekani ukwenza okubi;
17 Fundani ukwenza okuhle; funani ukwahlulelwa, nisize abacindezelweyo, yahluleleni intandane, nimele umfelokazi.
18 Wozani manje siyilungise indaba, usho uJehova; noma izono zenu zibomvu kakhulu, ziyakuba mhlophe njengeqhwa; noma zibomvu njengokubomvu, ziyakuba njengoboya bezimvu.
19 Uma nivuma, nilalela, niyakudla okuhle kwezwe;
20 Kepha uma nala, nihlubuka, niyakuqedwa ngenkemba, ngokuba umlomo kaJehova ukhulumile.
21 Yeka ukuthi umuzi othembekile usuphenduke kanjani isifebe! laligcwele ukwahlulela; ukulunga kwahlala khona; kodwa manje bangababulali.
22 Isiliva lakho seliyigwebu, iwayini lakho lixutshwe namanzi;
23 Izikhulu zakho ziyizihlubuki nabangane bamasela; wonke umuntu uthanda izipho futhi ujaha imivuzo; abahluleli izintandane, necala lomfelokazi alifiki kubo.
24 Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uJehova Sebawoti, uMninimandla ka-Israyeli, uthi: “Ngiyakuzikhulula ezitheni zami, ngiziphindiselele ezitheni zami.
25 Futhi ngiyobuyisela isandla sami phezu kwakho futhi ngigeze amabibi akho ngisuse wonke amathini akho.
26 Ngiyakubuyisela abahluleli bakho njengasekuqaleni, nabeluleki bakho njengasekuqaleni; emva kwalokho uyakubizwa ngokuthi: Umuzi wokulunga, umuzi othembekileyo.
27 IZiyoni lizahlengwa ngokulunga, labaphendukayo balo ngokulunga.
28 Ukubhujiswa kwabaphambukayo nezoni kuyakuba kanyekanye, nabamshiyayo uJehova baphele.
29 Ngoba bazakuba lenhloni ngezihlahla ze-okhi enizifisayo, njalo lizakuba lenhloni ngezivande enizikhethileyo.
30 Ngoba lizakuba njengesihlahla se-okhi esibuna amahlamvu awo, lanjengensimu engelamanzi.
31 Onamandla uyakuba njengentambo nomenzi wakho njengenhlansi, zivuthe zombili kanyekanye, kungabikho ocimayo.

2 Amakhosi 1 : 1 – 18
1 Khona uMowabi wahlubuka ku-Israyeli emva kokufa kuka-Ahabi.
2 U-Ahaziya wawa eheleni lekamelo lakhe eliphezulu eliseSamariya, wagula; wathuma izithunywa, wathi kuzo: “Hambani nibuze kuBali Zebhubi, unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni, ukuthi ngiyakusinda yini kulesi sifo.”
3 Kepha ingelosi kaJehova yathi ku-Eliya waseThishibi: “Suka ukhuphuke ukuhlangabezana nezithunywa zenkosi yaseSamariya, uthi kuzo: ‘Akungoba kungekho Nkulunkulu kwa-Israyeli yini ukuba nihambe niyobuza kuBali Zebule? unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni?
4 Ngakho-ke, manje, usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngeke wehle kulowo mbhede okhuphukele kuwo, kepha uyakufa nokufa. U-Eliya wahamba.
5 Lapho izithunywa zibuyela kuye, wathi kuzo: “Nibuyelani na?
6 Bathi kuye: “Kwakhuphuka indoda ukusihlangabeza, yathi kithi: Hambani, nibuyele enkosini enithumileyo, nithi kuyo: Isho kanje iNkosi, ithi: Akungoba kungekho Nkulunkulu na? kwa-Israyeli, ukuba uthume ukubuza kuBali Zebubi unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni na? ngalokho ungehli kulowo mbhede okhwele kuwo, kepha uyakufa nokufa.
7 Wayesethi kubo: “Bekungumuntu onjani yena owahlangana nani, wanitshela lawa mazwi na?”
8 Bamphendula bathi: “Uyindoda enoboya, ebhince ibhande lesikhumba okhalweni lwakhe.” Wathi: “Lo ungu-Eliya waseThishibi.”
9 Inkosi yasithuma kuye umthetheli-mashumi-mahlanu, enamashumi omahlanu akhe. Wakhuphukela kuye, bheka, wayehlezi esiqongweni sentaba. Wathi kuye: “Wena muntu kaNkulunkulu, inkosi yathi: Yehla;
10 UEliya waphendula, wathi enduneni yamashumi ayisihlanu: “Uma ngingumuntu kaNkulunkulu, makwehle umlilo ezulwini, ukudle wena namashumi omahlanu akho. Kwehla umlilo ezulwini, wayiqeda yona namashumi ayisihlanu ayo.
11 Wathuma kuye enye induna yamashumi ayisihlanu inamashumi ayisihlanu ayo. Wasephendula wathi kuye: O muntu kaNkulunkulu, itsho njalo inkosi: Yehla masinyane;
12 U-Eliya waphendula wathi kubo: “Uma ngingumuntu kaNkulunkulu, makwehle umlilo ezulwini, ukudle wena namashumi omahlanu akho. Wehla umlilo kaNkulunkulu ezulwini, wayiqeda yena namashumi ayisihlanu akhe.
13 Waphinda wathuma induna yesithathu yabangamashumi amahlanu kanye nabangamashumi amahlanu bayo. Inkosi yesithathu yabangamashumi ayisihlanu yakhuphuka, yafika yaguqa ngamadolo phambi kuka-Eliya, yamncenga, yathi kuye: “O muntu kaNkulunkulu, gcina umphefumulo wami nomphefumulo walaba bakhonzi bakho abangamashumi ayisihlanu. Ube yigugu emehlweni akho.

15 Ngomkhosi umbusi wayejwayele ukukhululela isixuku isiboshwa, esisithandayo.
16 Ngalesosikhathi babenesibotshwa esidumileyo esithiwa nguBarabasi.
17 Ngakho sebebuthene, uPilatu wathi kubo: Lithanda ukuthi ngilikhululele bani? UBarabasi noma uJesu othiwa uKristu?
18 Ngokuba wayekwazi ukuthi bamnikele ngomhawu.
19 Esehlezi esihlalweni sokwahlulela, umkakhe wathumela kuye, wathi: “Ungabi nandaba nalowo muntu olungileyo, ngokuba ngihlupheke kakhulu namuhla ngaye ephusheni.
20 Kepha abapristi abakhulu namalunga bancenga izixuku ukuba zicele uBaraba, zimbulale uJesu.
21 Umbusi waphendula wathi kubo: Nithanda ukuba nginikhululele muphi kulaba ababili na? Bathi: UBaraba.
22 UPilatu wathi kubo: Pho ngimenzeni uJesu othiwa uKristu? Bonke bathi kuye: Kabethelwe esiphambanweni.
23 Umbusi wasesithi: Ngoba enze bubi bani? Kodwa bamemeza kakhulu, besithi: Kabethelwe esiphambanweni.
24 Kwathi uPilatu ebona ukuthi kakusizi lutho, kodwa ukuthi isiyaluyalu sisuka kakhulu, wathatha amanzi, wageza izandla phambi kwexuku, wathi: Anginacala egazini lalumuntu olungileyo; ziboneleni lina.
25 Base bephendula abantu bonke, bathi: Igazi lakhe malibe phezu kwethu naphezu kwabantwana bethu.
26 Khona wabakhululela uBaraba;
27 Khona amasosha ombusi amthatha uJesu amyisa enqabeni, abuthela kuye lonke ibutho.
28 Amhlubula, amembathisa ingubo ebomvu.
29 Eluluka umqhele wameva, awubeka ekhanda lakhe, nomhlanga esandleni sakhe sokunene, aguqa ngamadolo phambi kwakhe, amklolodela, athi: “Bayede, Nkosi yamaJuda!
30 Amkhafulela ngamathe, athatha umhlanga, amshaya ekhanda.
31 Sebemklolodele, bamhlubula ingubo, bamembathisa ezakhe izingubo, bamuka naye ukuyombethela esiphambanweni.
32 Esaphuma, afumana indoda yaseKhurene, nguSimoni igama lakhe; amcindezela ukuba athwale isiphambano sakhe.
33 Sebefikile endaweni ethiwa yiGolgotha, okutsho ukuthi, iNdawo yoKhakhayi.
34 Bamnika uviniga oxutshwe nenyongo ukuba anathe;
35 Ambethela, abelana izingubo zakhe, enzelana inkatho, ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngomprofethi ukuthi: “Babelana izingubo zami, benza inkatho yokuphosa ngesambatho sami.
36 Bahlala phansi bamlinda khona;
37 Babeka phezu kwekhanda lakhe icala lakhe libhaliwe ukuthi: LO NGUJESU INKOSI YABAJUDA.
38 Kwabethelwa kanye naye abaphangi ababili, esinye ngakwesokunene nesinye ngakwesokhohlo.
39 Abadlulayo bamthuka, benikina amakhanda abo.
40 Bethi: Wena odiliza ithempeli, ulakhe ngezinsuku ezintathu, zisindise. Uma uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, yehla esiphambanweni.
41 Ngokunjalo labapristi abakhulu bamklolodela kanye lababhali labadala, bathi:
42 Wasindisa abanye; yena ngokwakhe akanakuzisindisa. Uma eyinkosi yakwa-Israyeli, makehle manje esiphambanweni, futhi sizomkholwa.
43 Wathembela kuNkulunkulu; makamkhulule manje, uma emthanda, ngokuba wathi: Mina ngiyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
44 Labaphangi ababebethelwe kanye laye, bamluma ngokunjalo.
45 Kusukela ngehora lesithupha kwaba mnyama emhlabeni wonke kwaze kwaba yihora lesishiyagalolunye.
46 Kwathi ngehola lesificamunwemunye uJesu wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi: Eli, Eli, lama sabaktani? okungukuthi: Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungishiyeleni na?
47 Abanye kwababemi khona besizwa bathi: Lo ubiza uEliya.
48 Wasegijima masinyane omunye kubo, wathatha uzipho, walugcwalisa ngoviniga, waluhloma emhlangeni, wamphuzisa.
49 Abanye bathi: Yekelani, sibone ukuthi uEliya uzafika yini ukumsindisa.
50 UJesu esephinde wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, wawukhipha umoya.
51 Bheka, isihenqo sethempeli sadabuka kabili, kusukela phezulu kuze kufike phansi; umhlaba wazamazama, amadwala aqhekezeka;
52 Amathuna avuleka; nemizimba eminingi yabangcwele ababelele yavuka;
53 baphuma emathuneni emva kokuvuka kwakhe bangena emzini ongcwele, babonakala kwabaningi.
54 Kwathi induna yekhulu nababe nayo belinda uJesu bebona ukuzamazama komhlaba nalokho okwenzekileyo besaba kakhulu, bathi: “Nempela lo ubeyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
55 Kwakukhona lapho abesifazana abanengi, bekhangele bekhatshana, ababelandele uJesu bevela eGalili, bemkhonza;
56 phakathi kwabo kwakukhona uMariya Magdalena, noMariya unina kaJakobe noJose, nonina wamadodana kaZebedewu.
57 Kwathi sekuhlwile, kweza umuntu ocebileyo wase-Arimathiya, ibizo lakhe linguJosefa, naye owayengumfundi kaJesu.
58 Yena waya kuPilatu, wacela isidumbu sikaJesu. Khona uPilatu wayala ukuba isidumbu sikhululwe.
59 Kwathi uJosefa esesithathile isidumbu, wasisonga ngendwangu yelineni ehlanzekileyo.
60 Wawubeka ethuneni lakhe elisha abeligubhe edwaleni, wagingqela itshe elikhulu emnyango wethuna, wamuka.
61 Kwakukhona lapho uMariya Magdalena nomunye uMariya, behlezi malungana nethuna.
62 Kwathi ngangomuso, olulandela usuku lokulungisela, abapristi abakhulu nabaFarisi babuthana kuPilatu;
63 besithi: Nkosi, siyakhumbula ukuthi umkhohlisi lowo esaphila wathi: Emva kwezinsuku ezintathu ngizavuka.
64 Ngakho yala ukuba liqiniswe ithuna kuze kube lusuku lwesithathu, hlezi abafundi bakhe beze ebusuku, bamebe, bathi ebantwini: Uvukile kwabafileyo;
65 UPilatu wathi kubo: Ninabalindi;
66 Bahamba-ke, baligcina ithuna, bebeka uphawu etsheni, nabalindi.

Amahubo 103 : 1 – 22
1 Ihubo likaDavide. Mbonge uJehova, mphefumulo wami; konke okuphakathi kwami makubonge igama lakhe elingcwele.
2 Mbonge uJehova, mphefumulo wami, ungakhohlwa imisebenzi yonke yomusa wayo.
3 Yena othethelela zonke iziphambeko zakho; owelapha zonke izifo zakho;
4 Ohlenga ukuphila kwakho ekubhujisweni; okuthwesa umusa nesihe;
5 Ogcwalisa umlomo wakho ngezinto ezinhle; ukuze ubusha bakho buvuselelwe njengokhozi.
6 UJehova wenza ubulungisa nobulungisa kubo bonke abacindezelwayo.
7 Wamazisa uMose izindlela zakhe, nezenzo zakhe kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
8 UJehova unesihe, unomusa, uyabekezela, uchichima umusa.
9 Akayikuxabana njalo, akayikugcina intukuthelo yakhe kuze kube phakade.
10 Akenzanga kithi njengokwezono zethu; futhi akasibuyiselanga njengokwamacala ethu.
11 Ngokuba njengokuphakama kwezulu phezu komhlaba, unjalo umusa wakhe kwabamesabayo.
12 Njengoba impumalanga iqhelelene nentshonalanga, udedisela kude iziphambeko zethu kithi.
13 Njengoyise ehawukela abantwana bakhe, kanjalo uJehova uhawukela abamesabayo.
14 Ngoba yena uyasazi isimo sethu; uyakhumbula ukuthi siluthuli.
15 Umuntu, izinsuku zakhe zinjengotshani; njengembali yasendle, uyaqhakaza kanjalo.
16 Ngokuba umoya uphephetha phezu kwayo, isuke; nendawo yawo ayisayikuyazi.
17 Kepha umusa kaJehova ukhona kwabamesabayo kusukela phakade kuze kube phakade, nokulunga kwakhe kubantwana babantwana;
18 Kulabo abagcina isivumelwano sakhe nalabo abakhumbula imiyalo yakhe ukuba bayenze.
19 UJehova umisile isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi ezulwini; nombuso wakhe ubusa phezu kwakho konke.
20 Dumisani uJehova, nina zingelosi zakhe, enibusa ngamandla, enigcina imiyalo yakhe, nilalele izwi lezwi lakhe.
21 Dumisani uJehova nina mabandla akhe onke; nina zinceku zaKhe, ezenza intando yaKhe enhle.
22 Bongani uJehova nina misebenzi yakhe yonke ezindaweni zonke zombuso wakhe; dumisa uJehova, mphefumulo wami!

Kwabase-Efesu 4 : 1 – 32
1 Ngakho-ke mina, siboshwa seNkosi, ngiyanincenga ukuba nihambe ngokufanele ukubizwa enabizwa ngakho;
2 ngokuthobeka konke, nobumnene, ngokubekezela, nibekezelelana ngothando;
3 nikhuthalele ukugcina ubunye bukaMoya ngesibopho sokuthula.
4 Munye umzimba, munye uMoya, njengalokho nabizelwa ethembeni linye lokubizwa kwenu;
5 yinye iNkosi, yinye inkolo, munye umbhapathizo,
6 munye uNkulunkulu, noYise wabo bonke, ophezu kwabo bonke, okubo bonke, okini nonke.
7 Kodwa yilowo nalowo kithina uphiwe umusa ngokwesilinganiso sesipho sikaKristu.
8 Ngakho uthi: Esenyukele phezulu, wathumba abathunjwa, wapha abantu izipho.
9 (Manje lokhu ukuthi wenyuka, kuyini, ngaphandle kokuthi wehlela ezindaweni eziphansi zomhlaba na?
10 Yena owehlayo nguye laye owenyukela kakhulu phezu kwamazulu wonke, ukuze agcwalise zonke izinto.)
11 Wapha abanye ukuthi babe ngabaphostoli; labanye abaprofethi; labanye, abavangeli; labanye bangabelusi labafundisi;
12 ukuze abangcwele bapheleliswe, umsebenzi wenkonzo, ukwakhiwa komzimba kaKristu;
13 size sifike sonke ebunyeni bokukholwa, lobolwazi lweNdodana kaNkulunkulu, endodeni epheleleyo, esilinganisweni sobukhulu bokugcwala kukaKristu.
14 Ukuze singabe sisaba abantwana, sijikijelwa ngapha nangapha, siqhutshwa yiwo wonke umoya wemfundiso, ngobuqili babantu, nobuqili bobuqili abaqamekela ukudukisa ngabo;
15 Kodwa sikhuluma iqiniso othandweni, sikhulele kuye ezintweni zonke, oyinhloko, uKristu;
16 okuvela kuye ukuthi umzimba wonke uhlanganiswe ngokufaneleyo, ubumbane, ngalokho okunikezwa yilelo nalelolunga, ngokokusebenza esilinganisweni sazo zonke izitho, ukhulisa umzimba kuze kuzakheka othandweni.
17 Ngakho-ke lokhu ngiyakusho, ngifakaza eNkosini, ukuthi ningabe nisahamba njengabanye abezizwe ebuzeni bengqondo yabo;
18 Benziwe mnyama ukuqonda, behlukanisiwe nokuphila kukaNkulunkulu ngokungazi okukubo, ngenxa yobumpumputhe benhliziyo yabo;
19 abathi sebephelelwe yimizwa bazinikele emanyaleni ukuze basebenze ukungcola konke ngokuhuheka.
20 Kepha nina animfundanga kanjalo uKristu;
21 uma-ke nimuzwile, nafundiswa nguye, njengokuba iqiniso likuJesu;
22 ukuba nikhumule maqondana nenkambo yakuqala umuntu omdala, owonakala ngezinkanuko zenkohliso;
23 nenziwe basha emoyeni wengqondo yenu;
24 nembathe umuntu omusha, owadalwa ngokukaNkulunkulu ekulungeni nasebungcweleni beqiniso.
25 Ngakho lahlani amanga, nikhulume iqiniso, kube yilowo nalowo kumakhelwane wakhe, ngokuba singamalungu omunye komunye.
26 Thukuthelani, ningoni; ilanga malingashoni nisathukuthele.
27 Futhi ningamniki uSathane indawo.
28 Owebayo makangabe eseba, kodwa kunalokho makakhuthale, asebenze okuhle ngezandla zakhe, ukuze abe nokokwabela osweleyo.
29 Makungaphumi nkulumo eyonakele emlonyeni wenu, kodwa kube kuhle kube kuhle kube nokwakhayo, ukuze kube umusa kwabezwayo.
30 Ningamdabukisi uMoya oNgcwele kaNkulunkulu enabekwa uphawu ngaye kuze kube lusuku lokuhlengwa.
31 Makususwe kini konke ukufutheka, nolaka, nentukuthelo, nomsindo, nokuhlambalaza, kanye nakho konke okubi.
32 Kepha yibani nomusa omunye komunye, nihawukele, nithethelelane, njengalokho noNkulunkulu wanithethelela ngenxa kaKristu.

EkaJokobe 1 : 22

KwabaseRoma 8 : 1 – 39
1 Ngakho-ke akusekho ukulahlwa kwabakuKristu Jesu, abangahambi ngokwenyama kodwa ngokukaMoya.
2 Ngokuba umthetho kaMoya wokuphila kuKristu Jesu ungikhululile emthethweni wesono nokufa.
3 Ngoba lokho umthetho owawungekwenze, ngoba ubuthakathaka ngenyama, uNkulunkulu ethuma eyakhe iNdodana ifana lenyama elesono, njalo ngenxa yesono, walahla isono enyameni;
4 ukuze ukulunga komlayo kugcwaliseke kithi, esingahambi ngokwenyama, kodwa ngokukaMoya.
5 Ngokuba abangokwenyama banaka okwenyama; kodwa abangokoMoya izinto zikaMoya.
6 Ngokuba ukunaka kwenyama kungukufa; kepha ukunaka okomoya kungukuphila nokuthula.
7 Ngokuba ukunaka kwenyama kungubutha kuNkulunkulu, ngokuba akuwuthobeli umthetho kaNkulunkulu, futhi kungekwenzeki.
8 Ngakho abasenyameni abanakumthokozisa uNkulunkulu.
9 Kepha nina anisenyameni, kodwa nikuMoya, uma uMoya kaNkulunkulu ehlala kini. Kepha uma umuntu engenaye uMoya kaKristu, lowo kasiye owakhe.
10 Uma uKristu ekini, umzimba ufile ngenxa yesono; kodwa uMoya ungukuphila ngenxa yokulunga.
11 Kepha uma uMoya walowo owavusa uJesu kwabafileyo ehlala kini, yena owavusa uKristu kwabafileyo uyakuphilisa nemizimba yenu efayo ngoMoya wakhe ohlala kini.
12 Ngakho-ke, bazalwane, sinecala, kungeyisikho kuyo inyama, ukuze siphile ngokwenyama.
13 Ngokuba uma niphila ngokwenyama, nizakufa; kepha uma nibulala imisebenzi yomzimba ngoMoya, nizakuphila.
14 Ngokuba bonke abaholwa nguMoya kaNkulunkulu bangabantwana bakaNkulunkulu.
15 Ngokuba anamukeliswanga umoya wobugqila ukuba nibuye nesabe; kodwa namukele uMoya wobuntwana, esimemeza ngaye sithi: Aba, Baba.
16 UMoya uqobo ufakaza kanye nomoya wethu ukuthi singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu;
17 Njalo uba singabantwana, siyizindlalifa; izindlalifa zikaNkulunkulu, lezindlalifa kanye loKristu; uma kambe sihlupheka kanye naye, ukuze siphiwe inkazimulo futhi kanye naye.
18 Ngokuba ngithi izinhlupheko zalesi sikhathi azinakulinganiswa nenkazimulo ezakwambulwa kithi.
19 Ngokuba ukulangatha okudaliweyo kulindele ukuvezwa kwabantwana bakaNkulunkulu.
20 Ngoba okudaliweyo kwabekwa ngaphansi kobuze, kungeyisikho ngokuthanda, kodwa ngaye owakuthobisayo ethembeni;
21 Ngokuba nakho okudaliweyo kuyakukhululwa ebugqileni bokubhubha, kube ngukukhululeka kwenkazimulo yabantwana bakaNkulunkulu.
22 Ngokuba siyazi ukuthi konke okudaliweyo kuyabubula kanyekanye futhi kunemihelo kuze kube manje.
23 Akusikho lokho kuphela, kodwa nathi uqobo lwethu esinolibo lukaMoya, nathi ngokwethu siyabubula phakathi kwethu, silindele ukuma kwabantwana, ukukhululwa kwemizimba yethu.
24 Ngokuba sisindiswa ngethemba, kepha ithemba elibonwayo alisilo ithemba;
25 Kodwa uma sithemba lokho esingakuboniyo, siyakulindela ngokubekezela.
26 Ngokunjalo noMoya uyasisiza ebuthakathakeni bethu, ngokuba asikwazi esingakucela ngokufanele, kepha uMoya uqobo usikhulekela ngokububula okungenakuphinyiselwa.
27 Kepha yena ohlola izinhliziyo uyakwazi okuqondwa nguMoya, ngokuba ukhulumela abangcwele ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu.
28 Njalo siyazi ukuthi konke kusebenzelana kube ngokuhle kwabamthandayo uNkulunkulu, ababiziweyo ngecebo lakhe.
29 Ngokuba labo ayebazi ngaphambili wabamisa ngaphambili bafane nomfanekiso weNdodana yakhe, ukuze yona ibe yizibulo phakathi kwabazalwane abaningi.
30 Phezu kwalokho abamisele ngaphambili, labo futhi ababizile;
31 Pho siyakuthini ngalezi zinto na? Uma uNkulunkulu engakithi, ngubani ongamelana nathi na?
32 Yena ongayigodlanga eyakhe iNdodana, kepha wayinikela ngenxa yethu sonke, uyakuba kanjani ukuba angasiphi ngesihle kanye nayo na?
33 Ngubani oyakumangalela abakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu na? nguNkulunkulu olungisisayo.
34 Ngubani olahlayo? NguKristu owafa, yebo, kakhulu owavuswa kwabafileyo, ongakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, osinxuselayo.
35 Ngubani oyakusahlukanisa nothando lukaKristu na? Noma usizi, noma ukucindezeleka, noma ukuzingelwa, noma indlala, noma ukuhamba-ze, noma ingozi, noma inkemba?
36 Njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Ngenxa yakho sibulawa usuku lonke; sibalwa njengezimvu zokuhlatshwa.
37 Qha, kukho konke lokhu singabanqobi ngaye owasithandayo.
38 Ngoba ngileqiniso ukuthi loba ukufa, loba ukuphila, loba izingilosi, loba iziphathamandla, loba izinto ezikhona, loba izinto ezizayo;
39 nakuphakama, nakujula, nanto enye edaliweyo akuyikuba-namandla okusahlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu olukuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu.
