IsiNgesi
'''isiNgesi''' lulwimi lwaseNtshona-Jamani olwathethwa okokuqala yiAnglo-Saxon eNgilani ngeminyaka yokuqala yeMiddle Ages. Sithetha nje lelona lwimi lusetyenziswa kakhulu kwihlabathi jikelele. [1]
Luthethwa kumazwe ngamazwe ehlabathi lonke jikelele. Lulwimi lokuqala lwaseUnited Kingdom, eUnited States, eCanada, eAustralia, eIreland, eNew Zealand namazwe amaninzi eCaribbean. Bamalunga na-375 ezigidi abantu abasithetha isingesi nje ngolwimi lweenkobe (abantu abantetho yabo isisiNgesi),[2] nto leyo esibeka kwindawo yesibini isiNgesi njengolona lwimi luthethwayo kwihlabathi. Bamalunga nama-220 ezigidi zabanye abantu abasithetha njengolwimi olongezelelwa kwiilwimi zabo zeenkobe, kwaye kusekho izigidi-gidi zabantu abasafunda ukusithetha.
Sitshintshile ke isiNgesi, kunjalo nje besisoloko sitshintshwa ngenxa yefuthe lezinye iilwimi. [3] Kuba phantse ama-60% entetho isuka kwisiLatini, maxa wambi isiNgesi sithathwa ngokuba lolona lwimi lunesiLatini kwiilwimi zesiJamani. [4]
Imbali[tshintsha | edit source]
IsiNgesi saaqala eNgilane. Iintlanga zamaJamani (amaSaxons, amaAngles, kunye namaJutes) eeza eBritane malunga phaya ngoo-449 AD. Bafika mazenzela ikhaya emzantsi nasempuma yesi siqithi, bethyalela ngaphandle amaBritane aluhlobo lwamaCeltic ababefike kuqala kunabo, babenza ukuba bathethe ulwimi lwesingesi endaweni yolwimi lwabo lwakudala ulwimi lwesiCeltic.
Unanamhla oku zisekho iilwimi zesiCeltic ezisathethwayo, ingakumbi eWales, apho isiWelsh ilulwimi lokuqala kwinxalenye yabantu abahlala kumaphandle. Inani labantetho isisiGaelic eScotland lincinane, kwaye phantse bonke bakwinaseziqithini. Ulwimi olubizwa ngokuba s"iScots" lona lululwimi oluyinzalelwane yesiNgesi. isiGaelic eIreland nase[Isle of Man]] sithethwa ngabantu abambalwa kakhulu.
Iilwimi ezizalana nesiJamani zezi ntlanga zaba sisiNgesi samandul. Igama elithi English lisuka kwigama likaAngles: uEnglas. IsiNgesi sakudala asivakali njengesiNgesi esisithethayo ngoku. Ukuba abantu abantetho isisiNgesi ngoku bangamamela okanye bafunde umhlathi obhalwe ngesiNgesi sakudala, ambalwa kakhulu amagama abangawaqonda ukuba athetha ukuthini.
Olona lwimi lusondele esiNgesini esisesasetyenziswayo namhlanje sisiFrisian, sithethwa ngabantu abangama-500,000 nabahlala eNetherlands, eGermany naseDenmark. Ngaphezu kokuba olu lwimi lubufana nesiNgesi, abantu abathetha ezi lwimi zimbini abavani kakuhle into abayithethayo. Kodwa nangona kunjalo, abantu abambalwa bathi olona lwimi lusondeleyo esiNgesini lulwimi lwesiDatshi.
Abanye abantu abaninzi beeza eNgilane kamva ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo, bethetha iilwimi ezahlukeneyo, kwaye ezi lwimi zathi zongeza amanye amagama amaninzi kwatsho kwadaleka esi siNgesi sithethwayo kungoku nje.
Nanku umzekelo, kwiminyaka yoo800 AD, amaDanish namaNorse kunye namapirates, nababizwa ngamaVikings, beza kweli lizwe saza isiNgesi samkela amagama emboleko amaNorse amaninzi. Iilwimi zabo zazizezamaJamani, njengesiNgesi samaNdulo.
Emva koloyiso lukaWilliam wayithabathela kuye iNgilane ngo1066 AD kunye nomlhosi wakhe waza wabayikumkani, weza nabantu bakhe abahloniphekileyo, ababentetho yabo isisiNorman, ulwimi olwaluzalana kakhulu nesiFrentshi, ukuba lubekho kurhulumente omtsha. Baasivala isiNgesi ixesha elide ukuba sifundiswe ezikolweni, lwaza ulwimi lwatshintsha kakhulu, kuba sasithethwa ubukhulu becala endaweni yokokuba sibhalwe, isithuba esingangeminyaka engama-300. IsiNgesi saaboleka amagama amaninzi kwisiNorman ngexesha esasinokubizwa ngokuba lulwimi olwahlukileyo, iMiddle English. U-Geoffrey Chaucer ngumbhali owaziwayo wesiNgesi ekuthiwa yiMiddle English. Emva kwezandi ezininzi ezathi zatshintsha, isiNgesi iMiddle English sabasisiNgesi esiphuculweyo. Nangona umsebenzi kaShakespeare ungabonakala umdala kakhulu, kodwa ibizwa ngokuba iphucukile.
Saaqhubela phambili isiNgesi ngokuthatha amagama amatsha kwezinye iilwimi, umzekelo, ingakumbi kwisiFrentshi (malunga nama-30% ukuya kuma-40% amagama aso), kodwa nakwisiTshyayina, isiHindi nesiUrdu, isiJapanese, isiSpanishi kunye nesiPhuthukezi. Kwathi kuba iingcali ezininzi ezazisuka kumazwe ahlukeneyo kwakufuneka zincokole zikwazi ukuthetha omnye komnye, baachonga amagama ezinto ayakuthi asetyenziswe kwezophando kwaye loo magama achongwa kwiilwimi ababezazi bebonke: isiGrike kunye nesiLatini. Laa magama eza nasesiNgesini kananjalo, umzekelo, umfanekiso ofotiweyo ("ifoto-" ithetha "ukukhanya" "kwaye "-igrafu" ithetha "umfanekiso" okanye "umbhalo", kwisiGrike. Umfanekiso ofotiweto ngumfanekiso owenziwe ngokusebenzisa ukukhanya), okanye ifowuni. Lilonke ke, isiNgesi senziwe ngesiNgesi samaNdulo (esizalana kakhulu nesiJamani kunye ne|siDatshi), isiNorse, kunye nesiFrench, kwaye sitshintshwe nasisiLatini, isiGrike, isiTshayina, isiHindi, isiJaphane, kunye nesiPanishi, namanye amagama amaninzi avela kwezinye iilwimi.
Imbali yobuKumkani baseBritane bufake isandla ekwandeni kolwimi lwesiNgesi. Kunamhlanje nje, isingesi lolona lwimi lubaluleke kakhulu kwiindawo ezininzi, ezifana neAustreliya, iKhanada, iHong Kong, kwRhiphabhlikhi yaseIndia nasePakistan, eMzantsi Afrika, nakwizizwe ezimanyeneyo zaseMelika, Isingesi lolona lwimi. Kuba ubuKumkani bezizwe eziManyeneyo (ilizwe apho iNgilane ikhoyo) kunye nezizwe zaseMelika ezimanyeneyo zibe zizizwe ngokwembali ebezisoloko zinamandla ekwenzeni imali naseburhulumenteni, abantu abaninzi babona iluncedo ukufunda isiNgesi ukuze bakwazi ukuthetha kumaziko ezophando, ezoshishino, nakwezozakuzelwano. Esi sifundo ke kuthiwa IsiNgesi njengolwimi olongezelelweyo, isiNgesi ngengolwimi lwesiBini (ESL) okanye isiNgesi njengolwimi oluvela ngaphandle (EFL).
Amabali nemidlalo edumileyo neyaziwa kakhulu. uShakespeare waye engumbhali wemibongo nemidlalo yeqonga yesiNgesi edume kakhulu. Sithetha nje, iingoma kunye nemovie (imiboniso yeefilim)zonke zisebenzisa ulwimi lwesiNgesi.
Umahluko kupelo lwamagama[tshintsha | edit source]
IsiNgesi sisebenzisa upelo magama olungaqhelekanga xa sibhalwa. Izandi zoonobumba kunye nendibaniselwano yazo ibonakala ngathi iyafana kodwa yahluke kakhulu. Nanku umzekelo igama elithi "ough" lahlukile kwelithi through (threw), rough (ruff), dough (doe) okanye cough (coff). Le nto ke yenza okokuba ibe lulwimi olunzima kakhulu ukuba lufundwe.[5] Kumazwe amaninzi abantu abantetho isisiNgesi bawapela ngokwahlukileyo amagama. Kukho umahluko phakathi kopelo-magama lwaseMelika kwelinye icala naseUnited Kingdom kwaye amanye amazwe amaninzi (afana nalawo akwingqungquthela yaseBritane) apho isiNgesi ilolona lwimi lusetyenziswayo kwelinye icala. Ezi ndlela zokupela zahlukeneyo ngamanye amaxesha kuthiwa s"isiNgesi saseMelika ne "siNgesi saseBritane". Umzekelo igama elithi "colour" lipelwa ngolu hlobo "color" eMelika, negama elithi "programme" lipelwa ngolu hlobo "program" eMelika. Negama elithi "spelled" lipelwa ngenye indlela kwisiNgesi saseBritane, apho lipelwa njengo "spelt". Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yokusasazwa kwendlela ekwenziwa ngayo izinto, usasazo (okanye olunwenwela kwihlabathi jikelele), nasekunwenweni kwamasiko aseMelika ngomabonakude nangeenkqubo zeekhompyutha zaseMelika, abanye abemi baseBritane basebenzisa amagama esiNgesi aseMelika.
Intetho[tshintsha | edit source]
Phantse ngama-60% entetho yolwimi lwesiNgesi ivela kwisiLatini nakwiilimi zeNeo-Latin (ingakumbi kwisiFrentshi):
- Langue d'oïl (isiFrentshi): 29.3%
- isiLatini, siquka isiLatini esiphuculweyo sanamhlanje nekusesophando nobuchwepheshe: 28.7%
- iilwimi zesiJamani – zithathwe kwisiNgesi samaNdulo, esisuka kwisiJamani samandulo, okanye kumagama asandakubolekwa kulwimi lwesiJamani olufana nelweNorse yamandulo; aluquki magama esiJamani abolekwe kulwimi lwesiRoma, i.e., avela kulwimilwesiJamani in Frentshi, isiLatini okanye ezinye iilwimi zesiroma: ezingama-24%
- isiGrike: ama-5.32%
- isiTaliyani, isiPanishi kunye nesiPhuthukezi: 4.03%
- Ulwimi olusuka kumagama abantu nawezinto zendalo: 3.28%
- Olusuka kuzo zonke ezinye iilwimi: zingaphantsi kwe-1%
Nangona kunjalo, kwawona magama akhe axhaphaka, awesiJamani ngawona alinani eliphezulu.

1:16 Ndabhaptiza ke nendlu kaStefana; ngaphandle kwabo, andazi ukuba ndabhaptiza wumbi.
1:17 Kuba uKristu akandithumanga kubhaptiza; wandithuma ukushumayela iindaba ezilungileyo, kungabi ngabulumko bakuthetha, ukuze umnqamlezo kaKristu ungalanjathiswa.
1:18 Kuba ilizwi lomnqamlezo libubudenge okunene kwabatshabalalayo; kodwa ke kwabasindiswayo, thina aba, lingamandla kaThixo.
1:19 Kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Ndiya kubutshabalalisa ubulumko bezilumko, Ingqondo yeengqondi ndiyitshitshise.
1:20 Siphi na ke isilumko? Uphi na ke umbhali? Uphi na ke umphiki weli phakade? UThixo akabenzanga baba bubudenge na ubulumko beli hlabathi?
1:21 Ekubeni ke kuthe, ebulumkweni bukaThixo, ihlabathi alamazi uThixo ngobulumko balo, kwakholeka kuThixo ukusindisa abo bakholwayo, ngabo ubudenge bokuvakalisa iindaba ezilungileyo.

2:4 Nokuthetha kwam, nokuvakalisa kwam uKristu kube kungengamazwi oyisa ngabulumko babantu; bekungokuqondakalisa koMoya nokwamandla,
2:5 ukuze ukholo lwenu lungabi sebulumkweni babantu, lube semandleni kaThixo.
2:6 Ke sithetha ubulumko phakathi kwabagqibeleleyo, ubulumko ke obungebubo obeli phakade, nobabaphathi beli phakade ababhangayo.
2:7 Sithetha ubulumko bukaThixo obusemfihlekweni, obo ke bufihlakeleyo, awathi uThixo ngenxa engaphambili, kwangaphambi kwawo amaphakade, wabumisela uzuko lwethu;
2:8 ekungabangakho namnye wabaphathi beli phakade ubaziyo (kuba, ukuba babebazi, ngebengayibethelelanga emnqamlezweni iNkosi yozuko),
2:9 njengoko ke kubhaliweyo, kwathiwa, Izinto ezingabonwanga liso, nezingaviwanga ndlebe, Nezingathanga qatha entliziyweni yomntu, Zizo uThixo awazilungisela abo bamthandayo.
2:10 UThixo wazityhila kuthi ke ngoMoya wakhe; kuba uMoya uphengulula zonke izinto, neenzulu zikaThixo.
2:11 Kuba nguwuphi na kubantu ozaziyo izinto zomntu, ingenguwo umoya womntu okuye? Ngokunjalo nezinto zikaThixo akukho namnye uzaziyo, ingenguye uMoya kaThixo.
2:12 Ke thina asamkelanga moya wehlabathi; samkele uMoya ophuma kuye uThixo, ukuze sizazi izinto esazibabalwa nguThixo;
2:13 esizithethayo nokuzithetha, kungengamazwi anokufundiswa bubulumko babantu, kungawo anokufundiswa nguMoya oyiNgcwele: izinto ezizezomoya sizilungelelanisa namazwi la angawomoya.
2:14 Owemvelo ke umntu akazamkeli izinto zoMoya kaThixo; kuba zibubudenge kuye; kanjalo akanakuzazi, ngokuba ziphicothwa ngokoMoya.
2:15 Ke ongowoMoya okunene uphicotha zonke izinto, kodwa yena ngokwakhe akaphicothwa mntu.
2:16 Kuba ngubani na oyaziyo ingqiqo yeNkosi, oya kuthi ayifundise? Thina ke sinengqiqo kaKristu.
3:1 Nam ke, bazalwana, bendingenakuthetha kuni njengakwaboMoya; bendinokuthetha njengakwabenyama, njengakwabaziintsana kuKristu.
3:2 Ndaniseza amasi, andaninika kudla kuqinileyo; kuba nibe ningekabi nakomelela, unangoku anikabi nako.
3:3 Kuba nisengabenyama; oku nje kukhoyo phakathi kwenu umona, neenkani, neembambaniso, aningabenyama na? Anihambi ngokwabantu na?
3:4 Kuba xa uthile athi, Mna ndingokaPawulos, athi wumbi, Mna ndingoka-Apolo, aningabenyama na ke?
3:5 Ungubani na yena uPawulos? engubani na yena uApolo? Ingabalungiseleli nje kuphela, enakholwa ngabo, njengokuba iNkosi yamnikayo ulowo nalowo.
3:6 Mna ndatyala, uApolo wankcenkcesha, ke nguThixo owahlumisayo.
3:7 Ngoko ke lowo utyalayo akalutho, nalowo unkcenkceshayo akalutho; oyinto nguThixo lo uhlumisayo.
3:8 Lowo utyalayo ke, nalowo unkcenkceshayo, banto-nye; kodwa elowo uya kwamkela owakhe umvuzo ngokukokwakhe ukubulaleka.
3:9 Kuba thina singabasebenzisi bakaThixo; nina niyintsimi kaThixo, nisisakhiwo sikaThixo.
3:10 Ngokobabalo lukaThixo endababalwa ngalo, ndithi, ngokomakhi osisilumko, ndibeke ilitye lesiseko, athi ke omnye akhe phezu kwalo; ke elowo makakhangele ukuba uthini na ukwakha kwakhe phezu kwalo.
3:11 Kuba akukho namnye unako ukubeka litye limbi lesiseko, nxamnye nelo libekwe kade, linguYesu onguKristu.
3:12 Ukuba ke umntu ukhe wakha phezu kweli litye lesiseko igolide, isilivere, amatye anqabileyo, imithi, ingca, iindiza,
3:13 umsebenzi walowo nalowo wobonakalaliswa; kuba loo mini iya kuwazisa, ngokuba iya kuvela inomlilo; nomsebenzi walowo nalowo, umlilo uya kuwucikida ubunjani bawo.
3:14 Ukuba umsebenzi awawakhayo umntu phezu kwalo, uthe wahlala uhleli, wowamkela umvuzo.
3:15 Ukuba umsebenzi womntu uthe watshiswa, wolahlekelwa ngumvuzo wakhe; ke yena okwakhe wosindiswa, kodwa ke ange ucande emlilweni.
3:16 Anazi na ukuba niyitempile kaThixo? Anazi na ukuba uMoya kaThixo umi ngaphakathi kwenu?
3:17 Ukuba umntu uyayonakalisa itempile kaThixo, uThixo womonakalisa lowo; kuba itempile kaThixo ingcwele; ninjalo ke.
3:18 Makungabikho namnye uzikhohlisayo. Ukuba umntu uba usisilumko phakathi kwenu kweli phakade, makabe sisidenge, ukuze abe sisilumko.
3:19 Kuba ubulumko beli hlabathi bubudenge kuye uThixo; kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Yena uyazibambisa izilumko kubuqhetseba bazo;
3:20 kwathiwa kananjalo, INkosi iyazazi izicamango zezilumko, ukuba azinto.
3:21 Ngoko ke makungabikho namnye uqhayisa ngabantu: kuba izinto zonke zezenu;
3:22 nokuba nguPawulos, nokuba nguApolo, nokuba nguKefas, nokuba lihlabathi, nokuba bubomi, nokuba kukufa, nokuba zizinto ezingeneyo, nokuba zezizayo: zonke zezenu.
3:23 Nina ke ningabakaKristu, uKristu ke ngokaThixo.
4:1 Makenjenjalo ke umntu ukucinga ngathi, athi singabakhonzi bakaKristu, athi singamagosa eemfihlelo zikaThixo.
4:2 Ke kaloku ke, kufuneka kuwo amagosa, ukuba ulowo kuwo afumaneke ethembekile.
4:3 Kum ke yeyona nto incinanana, ukuba ndincinwe nini, nayimini yamatyala yabantu; ke andizincini nam ngokwam,
4:4 kuba andizazeleli, nto; noko andigwetyelwe, koko; ondincinayo ke yiNkosi.
4:5 Ngoko ke, musani ukugweba nto phambi kwelona xesha, ide ifike iNkosi, eya kuthi izikhanyise nokuzikhanyisa izinto ezifihlakeleyo zobumnyama, iwabonakalalise amacebo entliziyo; andule ke ulowo nalowo abe nodumo oluvela kuThixo.
4:6 Ezi zinto ke, bazalwana, ndizilinganisele ngam noApolo, ngenxa yenu; ukuze nifunde kuthi aba, ukuba ningazicingeli ngaphezu koko kubhaliweyo, ukuze kungabikho namnye uzikhukhumalisa ngakomnye ngenxa yomnye.
4:7 Kuba ngubani na okubalulayo kwabanye? Yintoni na ke onayo ongayamkeliswanga? Phofu ke, ukuba wamkelisiwe, uqhayiselani na, ngathi akwamkeliswanga?
4:8 Senihluthi, senizizityebi, nalawula ningenathi; akwaba ke kambe beningabalawuli, ukuze nathi silawule kunye nani.
4:9 Kuba ngathi mna, uThixo thina bapostile usivelise mva, sanga singabamiselwe ukufa; kuba sanekwe senziwa intlekisa kulo ihlabathi, nakwizithunywa zezulu, nakubantu.
4:10 Thina siziziyatha ngenxa kaKristu, ke nina niziingqondi kuKristu; thina siswele amandla, ke nina nomelele; nina nizukile, ke thina siswele imbeko.
4:11 Kude kwaleli lixa langoku silamba, sinxanwa, sihamba ze, sintlithwa, singenasikhundla, sibulaleka,
4:12 sisebenza ngezethu izandla; sithi, sitshabhiswa, sibe sisikelela; sithi sitshutshiwa, sibe sinyamezela;
4:13 sithi sinyeliswa, sibe siyala; sixeliswa inkunkuma yehlabathi, inkuthu yezinto zonke, kude kube ngoku.
4:14 Ezo nto andizibhaleli ukuba nidane; ndiyaniluleka njengabantwana bam abathandekayo.
4:15 Kuba ningafanelana ninabakhaphi bemawaka alishumi kuKristu, ababaninzi bona ooyihlo; kuba kuKristu Yesu nizelwe ndim lo, ngazo iindaba ezilungileyo.
4:16 Ndiyaniyala ngoko, yibani ngabaxelisa mna.
4:17 Ngenxa yoko ndinithumele uTimoti, ongumntwana wam oyintanda, othembekileyo, waseNkosini, oya kunikhumbuza iindlela zam ezikuKristu, njengoko ndifundisayo ezindaweni zonke, kuwo onke amabandla.
4:18 Ke kaloku inxenye ithe yakhukhumala, ngathi andiyi kuza kuni.
4:19 Ndiya kuza ke kuni kamsinya, ukuba iNkosi ithe yavuma, ukuze ndinganeli kukwazi ukuthetha kwabakhukhumeleyo, ndazi amandla abo.
4:20 Kuba ubukumkani bukaThixo abusekuthetheni, busemandleni.
4:21 Nithanda kuphi na, kuko ukuza kuni ndinoswazi, kuko ukuza ndinothando, nomoya wobulali?
5:1 Kwandile ukuvakala ukuba kukho umbulo phakathi kwenu; ngumbulo ke lowo ongazanga ukhankanywe naphakathi kweentlanga, owokuba uthile abe nomfazi kayise.
5:2 Nibe ke nikhukhumele; ningabi kanye nikhedamile, ukuze anyothulwe phakathi kwenu lowo wenze loo ntlondi.
5:3 Kuba mna, ndingekho nje okunene ngesiqu, ndikho ngomoya; sendide ndamgweba oyenzileyo loo nto, njengokungathi ndikho;
5:4 ndathi, egameni leNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu (nakubon ukuba nihlanganisene nomoya wam, kunye nawo amandla eNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu),
5:5 makanikelwe onjalo kuSathana, ukuba inyama itshatyalaliswe, ukuze wona umoya usindiswe ngomhla weNkosi uYesu.
5:6 Iqhayiya lenu alilihle! Anazi na ukuba igwele elincinane libilisa intlama iphela?
5:7 Likhupheni ngoko kuthi tu igwele elidala, ukuze nibe yintlama entsha, ekubeni ningabangenagwele. Kuba nathi siyibingelelwe neyethu ipasika, enguKristu.
5:8 Ngoko ke ukwenza umthendeleko, masingawenzi sinegwele elidala, negwele lobubi, nelokungendawo; masiwenze sinezonka ezingenagwele, ezingenasibhidi, ezinenyaniso.
5:9 Ndanibhalela encwadini apho ukuthi, maningazidibanisi nabenza umbulo;
5:10 kodwa ningasenizahlula kanye kwabeli hlabathi abenza umbulo, nakumabawa, nabaphangi, nabakhonzi bezithixo; okanye beniya kumelwa kukuphuma ehlabathini.
5:11 Kungoku ke, ndinibhalela ukuba maningazidibanisi nosukuba enegama lokuba ngumzalwana, ukanti wenza umbulo, nokuba ulibawa, nokuba ungumkhonzi wezithixo, nokuba ungumtshabhisi, nokuba ulinxila, nokuba ungumphangi; ningakhe nidle nokudla nonjalo.
5:12 Ndinamsebenzi mni na ukuba ndigwebe nabangaphandle? Anigwebi abangaphakathi bodwa, yini na, nina?
5:13 Ke abangaphandle bagwetywa nguThixo. Ize nimnyothule kuni nina lowo ungendawo.
6:1 Kukho na umntu kuni, enendawo ngakomnye, onobuganga bokummangalela phambi kwabangemalungisa, angammangaleli phambi kwabangcwele?
6:2 Anazi na, ukuba abangcwele aba baya kuligweba ihlabathi? Ukuba ke ihlabathi ligwetywa phambi kwenu, anikufanele na ukuwathetha awona mancinanana amatyala?
6:3 Anazi na, ukuba siya kugweba izithunywa zezulu? Kobeka phi na ke kwizinto zobu bomi?
6:4 Xa sukuba ke ngoko nisiya ematyaleni ngezinto zobu bomi, nimisa abo bangento kulo ibandla, ukuba kugwebe bona na?
6:5 Nditsho ukuze nidane. Kude akwabakho noko sisinye na isilumko phakathi kwenu, esingaba nako ukulamla phakathi kwabo abazalwana?
6:6 Usuka umzalwana amangalelane nomzalwana, athi noko akwenze phambi kwabangakholiweyo.
6:7 Seninciphile ke kanye ngokokuthi nimangalelane. Yini na ukuba ningathi kanye nivume ukoniwa? Yini na ukuba ningathi kanye nivume ukulunyukiswa?
6:8 Nisuka nina none abanye, nilumkise, nako oko nibe nikwenza kubazalwana.
6:9 Anazi na, ukuba abangemalungisa abayi kubudla ilifa ubukumkani bukaThixo? Musani ukulahlekiswa; abenza umbulo, nabakhonzi bezithixo, nabakrexezi, nezifebe, namadoda alalanayo,
6:10 namasela, namabawa, namanxila, nabatshabhisi, nabaphangi, abayi kubudla ilifa ubukumkani bukaThixo.
6:11 Naye ninjalo ke inxenye yenu; kuloko nahlanjululwayo, kuloko nangcwaliswayo, kuloko nagwetyelwayo egameni leNkosi uYesu, nangoMoya kaThixo wethu.
6:12 Zonke izinto zivumelekile kum, noko azindilungele zonke. Zonke izinto zivumelekile kum, noko asindim oya kubekwa phantsi kwagunya lelayiphi;
6:13 izidlo zezesisu, nesisu sesezidlo; kodwa uThixo uya kubhangisa kokubini, sona nazo. Ke wona umzimba asingowombulo, ngoweNkosi; nayo iNkosi yeyomzimba.
6:14 UThixo ke wayivusa iNkosi leyo; uya kusivusa nathi ngamandla akhe.
6:15 Anazi na ukuba imizimba yenu ngamalungu kaKristu? Ndiya kuthi na ke, ndiwathabathe amalungu kaKristu lowo, ndiwenze amalungu ehenyukazi? Nakanye!
6:16 Anazi na, ukuba onamathele kulo ihenyukazi, umzimba mnye nalo? Kuba kuthiwa, Abo babini boba nyama-nye.
6:17 Ke onamathele eNkosini, umoya mnye nayo.
6:18 Wubalekeni umbulo. Zonke izono athe umntu wazenza, zingaphandle komzimba; ke lowo wenza umbulo, wona owakhe umzimba.
6:19 Anazi na, ukuba umzimba wenu uyitempile yoMoya oyiNgcwele ongaphakathi kwenu, eninaye evela kuThixo; nokuba ke aningabenu?
6:20 Kuba nathengwa ngexabiso. Mzukiseni ke uThixo ngomzimba wenu nangomoya wenu, izinto ezizezikaThixo ezo.
7:1 Ke kaloku, ngokubhekisele kwiindawo enandibhalela ngazo, ndithi, Kumlungele umntu ukuba angamchukumisi umntu oyinkazana.
7:2 Kodwa ke, ngenxa yoomibulo, elowo makabe nowakhe umfazi, athi elowo abe neyakhe indoda.
7:3 Indoda mayimenzele okumfaneleyo umfazi wayo; enjenjalo ke nomfazi endodeni yakhe.
7:4 Umfazi akanagunya kowakhe umzimba, yindoda enalo; kwangokunjalo ke, nendoda ayinagunya kowayo umzimba, ngumfazi onalo.
7:5 Musani ukwala ukuhlangana, ningathanga nibe nivumelene okomzuzwana, ukuze ke nibe nethuba lokuzila ukudla nelokuthandaza; nibuye nihlangane ndawonye, ukuze anganihendi uSathana ngenxa yentswela-kuzeyisa kwenu.
7:6 Ndisitsho nje, ndiyabonisa; anidithumi mntu.
7:7 Kuba ndinga bonke abantu bangaba njengam nje; kodwa ke elowo unesakhe isipho, asibabalwe nguThixo; omnye uba naso ngokunje, omnye abe naso ngokunjeya.
7:8 Ndithi ke kwabangazekanga nabangendanga, nakubahlolokazi, kubalungele ukuba bathe bahlala njengam nje.
7:9 Kodwa ke, ukuba abanakuzeyisa, mabazeke, mabende, kuba kukhona kulungileyo ukuba kuzekwe, kwendiwe, kunokutshiseka.
7:10 Ke kaloku abazekileyo nabendileyo ndiyabathethela, phofu ingendim, iyiNkosi; ndithi, Umfazi makangahlukani nendoda
7:11 (ke ukuba uthe wahlukana nayo, makahlale angendi, okanye makaxolelaniswe nendoda yakhe); indoda mayingamali umfazi wayo.
7:12 Ke kaloku kwabanye ndithi mna, akutsho iNkosi, Ukuba kukho mzalwana uthile unomfazi ongakholiweyo, aze umfazi lowo athande ukuhlala naye, makangamali.
7:13 Nomfazi onendoda engakholiweyo, ize yona ithande ukuhlala naye, makangayali.
7:14 Kuba indoda leyo ingakholiweyo ingcwalisiwe nguye umfazi, nomfazi lowo ungakholiweyo ungcwalisiwe yiyo indoda; okanye abantwana benu ngebeba baziinqambi; kungoku ke bangcwele.
7:15 Kodwa ke ukuba lowo ungakholiweyo uyahluka, makahluke; umzalwana nokuba ngudade akabotshelelwe, xa kunjalo; ke uThixo usibizele eluxolweni.
7:16 Kuba, wazi ngani na, mfazi, ukuba woyisindisa indoda yakho? Wazi ngani na, ndoda, ukuba womsindisa umfazi wakho?
7:17 Ke, njengoko uThixo wamabelayo ulowo, njengoko iNkosi imbizileyo ulowo, makahambe ngokunjalo. Ndimisa ngokunjalo ke kuwo onke amabandla.
7:18 Kukho mntu wabizwa engowalukileyo na? Makangazenzi ongalukileyo. Kukho mntu wabizwa engalukanga na? Makangaluki.
7:19 Ukwaluka oku akunto, nokungaluki oku akunto; okuyinto kukubamba imithetho kaThixo.
7:20 Elowo makahlale elubizweni abizwe ekulo.
7:21 Wabizwa ulikhoboka na? Ungakhathali koko; nokuba ke unokukhululeka, nyula kanye oko.
7:22 Ukuba lowo wabizwayo waba seNkosini elikhoboka, ungumkhululwa weNkosi; ngokunjalo nalowo wabizwayo engokhululekileyo, ulikhoboka likaKristu.
7:23 Nathengwa ngexabiso; musani ukuba ngamakhoboka abantu.
7:24 Bazalwana, elowo ekubizweni awabizwa ekuko, makahlale kuko ekuThixo.
7:25 Ke kaloku, ngazo iintombi andinammiselo weNkosi; ndibona oku mna, njengowenzelwe inceba yiNkosi ukuba athembeke.
7:26 Ndiba ngoko, kulungile oku ngenxa yengxakeko engeneyo, kulungile emntwini ukuthi aselehlala njengoko anjalo.
7:27 Ubotshelelwe na emfazini? Musa ukufuna ukukhululwa kuye. Ukhululekile na emfazini? Musa ukufuna umfazi.
7:28 Kodwa ke ukuba uthe wazeka, akonanga; nokuba intombi ithe yenda, ayonanga. Ke abanjalo boba nembandezelo enyameni. Ke mna, ngokwenjenje, ndiconga nina.
7:29 Nditsho ke, bazalwana, ukuthi, ixesha lifinyele, ukuze kwelisaseleyo bathi nabo banabafazi, babe njengabangenabo;
7:30 bathi abalilayo, babe njengabangaliliyo; bathi abavuyayo, babe njengabangavuyiyo; bathi abathengayo, babe njengabangenanto;
7:31 bathi abasebenzayo ngeli hlabathi, babe njengabangalixhamliyo; kuba ukumila kweli hlabathi kuyadlula.
7:32 Ndithanda ukuba ningabi naxhala. Ongazekileyo uxhalela izinto zeNkosi, ukuba angathini na ukuyikholisa iNkosi.
7:33 Ozekileyo ke uxhalela izinto zehlabathi, ukuba angathini na ukumkholisa umkakhe.
7:34 Umfazi nentombi akufani. Ongendileyo uxhalela izinto zeNkosi, ukuze abe ngcwele ngomzimba nangomoya; owendileyo ke uxhalela izinto zehlabathi, ukuba angathini na ukuyikholisa indoda yakhe.
7:35 Oku ke ndikuthetha ndisingisele kokunilungeleyo, ndingenzeli kunirhintyela; ndikuthethela ukuba nizibeke, nihlale nihleli kakuhle eNkosini, ningakruthakrutheki.
7:36 Kodwa ke ukuba umntu uba uhlaza intombi yakhe, xa ithe yegqitha entlahleni yayo, emelwe kukwenjenjalo, makenze akuthandayo; akoni; makuzekwe.
7:37 Noko ke omiyo eqinile entliziyweni, engaxakwe nto, enegunya ke lokwenza ngokuthanda kwakhe, kananjalo egqibile entliziyweni yakhe kwelokuba ayigcine intombi yakhe, uyatyapha ukwenjenjalo.
7:38 Ngoko ke lowo wendisayo uyatyapha, kodwa ke lowo ungendisiyo nguyena ukholisayo.
7:39 Umfazi ubotshiwe ngumthetho ngalo lonke ixesha isaphilileyo indoda yakhe; ke ukuba indoda yakhe ithe yafa, ukhululekile, angendiselwa kwayithandayo, kodwa ke ngokwaseNkosini.
7:40 Noko ke unoyolo ngakumbi, ukuba uthe wahlala enjengoko anjalo, ngokwam mna ukubona; ndiba ke ndinaye nam uMoya kaThixo.
8:1 Ke kaloku, ngeendawo zamadini enziwa kwizithixo, ndithi, Siyazi ukuba sinokwazi sonke. Ukwazi oku kuyakhukhumalisa, ke lona uthando luyakha.
8:2 Ukuba ke umntu uba wazi nto, akakazi nento ngoko amelwe kukwazi ngako.
8:3 Ukuba ke umntu uyamthanda uThixo, lowo uyaziwa nguye.
8:4 Ngako ke ukudliwa kwamadini enziwa kwizithixo, siyazi ukuba akukho nto isisithixo ehlabathini; siyazi ukuba mnye kwaphela uThixo, akukho wumbi.
8:5 Kuba kambe, nokuba kukho ekuthiwa bangoothixo, nokuba kusezulwini, nokuba kuphezu komhlaba (kwanjengokuba kukho oothixo abaninzi, neenkosi ezininzi),
8:6 kuthi thina mnye uThixo, uYise, eziphuma kuye izinto zonke; nathi sikholo yena. Inye iNkosi, uYesu Kristu, ezingayo zonke izinto; nathi singaye.
8:7 Ke ukwazi oko akubantwini bonke. Inxenye ke ithi, isenesazela ngesithixo unangoku, idle ngokudliwa kwedini elenziwe kwisithixo, size isazela sabo, siswele amandla nje, sidyobheke.
8:8 Ukudla akusithandisi kuye uThixo; kuba nokuba sithe sadla, asigqithe nganto; nokuba asithanga sidle, asisilele nganto.
8:9 Lumkani ke, hleze elo gunya lenu libe sisiwiso kwabaswele amandla.
8:10 Kuba xa athe ubani wakubona, wena ungonokwazi, uhleli esithebeni etempileni yezithixo, asisayi kuthi na isazela sakhe, eswele amandla nje, somelezelwe ukudla amadini enzelwe izithixo?
8:11 Aze ngokwazi kwakho oko atshabalale umzalwana oswele amandla, awathi uKristu wamfela.
8:12 Nisenjenjalonje ke ukona kubo abazalwana, nisidubule nje isazela sabo esiswele amandla, nona kuKristu.
8:13 Ngenxa yoko ndithi, Ukuba ukudla kuyamkhubekisa umzalwana wam, andisayi kudla nyama naphakade, ukuze ndingamkhubekisi umzalwana wam.
9:1 Andingumpostile na? Andingokhululekileyo na? Andimbonanga na uYesu Kristu, iNkosi yethu? Aninguwo na nina umsebenzi wam eNkosini?
9:2 Ukuba andimpostile kwabanye, kuni nina ndinguye; kuba itywina lokuqinisa obam ubupostile linini aba baseNkosini.
9:3 Okwam ukuziphendulela kwabandincinayo kuko oku.
9:4 Asinagunya na lokudla nokusela?
9:5 Asinagunya na, njengabanye abapostile, nabazalwana beNkosi, noKefas, ukuba siphelekwe ngabafazi bethu bengamakholwa?
9:6 Sithi sedwa noBharnabhas lo na, abangenagunya lokuba bangasebenzi?
9:7 Ngubani na okha aphume umkhosi ngeyakhe indleko? Ngubani na otyala isidiliya, aze angadli siqhamo saso? Khona ngubani na owalusa umhlambi, aze angawadli amasi omhlambi lowo?
9:8 Ndizithetha ngokomntu yini na ezo zinto? Awuthethi kwaezo zinto nawo na umthetho?
9:9 Emthethweni kaMoses kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Uze ungayibophi umlomo inkomo ibhula. Ziinkomo yini na into ayikhathaleleyo uThixo?
9:10 Kanene akatsho ngenxa yethu na? Kakade kwabhalwa ngenxa yethu; ngokuba lowo ulimayo ufanele ukulima ethembile; lowo ubhulayo ufanele ukubhula enethemba lokuyaba loo nto athembe yona.
9:11 Ukuba ke thina sanihlwayelela izinto ezizezoMoya, yinto enkulu na, ukuba siya kuvuna izinto zenu ezizezenyama?
9:12 Ukuba abanye babelana ngokwenza ngeli gunya kuni, asikukhona singenjenjalo na thina ngakumbi? Asilisebenzisanga ke elo gunya; sisuka sithwale izinto zonke, ukuze singazibambezeli ngani iindaba ezilungileyo zikaKristu.
9:13 Anazi na ukuba abo bazisebenzayo izinto ezingcwele badla okwetempile, abo bahlala behleli esibingelelweni bahlulelana nesibingelelo eso?
9:14 Ngokunjalo neNkosi le yabamisela abazazisayo iindaba ezilungileyo, ukuba baphile ngeendaba ezilungileyo ezi.
9:15 Ke mna andiphathanga nanye kwezo zinto. Ezi ndawo andizibhaleli ukuze kwenjiwe njalo kum; kuba bekungandilungelayo kanye ukuba ndife, kunokuba ubani alilambathise iqhayiya lam.
9:16 Kuba xa ndithi ndizishumayele iindaba ezilungileyo, andinaqhayiya; kuba ndimelwe kukuzishumayela. Yeha ke mna, ukuba ndisuka ndingazishumayeli iindaba ezilungileyo!
9:17 Kuba xa ndikwenzayo oko ndinokuzithandela, ndoba ndinomvuzo; ke xa ndikwenza ndingenakuzithandela, ndoba ndingophathiswe ubugosa nje.
9:18 Uyintoni na ke ngoko umvuzo wam? Ukukuthi, ndakuzishumayela iindaba ezilungileyo, ndizenze zingabi nandleko iindaba ezilungileyo zikaKristu, ukuba ndingalisebenzisi igunya lam ezindabeni ezilungileyo ezi.
9:19 Kuba ndikhululekile nje kubo bonke, ndizikhonzisile kubo bonke, ukuze ndibazuze abona baninzi.
9:20 KumaYuda ndaba njengomYuda, ukuze ndiwazuze amaYuda; kwabo baphantsi komthetho ndaba njengophantsi komthetho, ukuze ndibazuze abaphantsi komthetho;
9:21 kwabo bangenamthetho, ndaba njengongenamthetho (ndingenguye phofu ongenamthetho kuThixo, ndingosemthethweni kuKristu), ukuze ndibazuze abangenamthetho;
9:22 kwabo bangenamandla, ndaba njengongenamandla, ukuze ndibazuze abangenamandla; kubo bonke ndesuka ndaba ziinto zonke, ukuze ngeendlela zonke ndisindise inxenye.
9:23 Oko ke ndakwenza ngenxa yeendaba ezilungileyo, ukuze ndibe lidlelane nabo ngazo.
9:24 Anazi na, ukuba abo babalekayo elugqatsweni, babaleka bonke okunene, kodwa ke mnye owamkelayo umvuzo? Balekani ngokunjalo ke, ukuze nizuze.
9:25 Bonke ke abantu abazamayo, baba ziingcathu ezintweni zonke. Bona abo ke okunene benzela ukuze bazuze isithsaba esinokonakala; kodwa thina, esingenakonakala.
9:26 Mna ke ngoko ndenjenjalo ukubaleka, ndingangi andiqondi; ndenjenjalo ukugalela ngenqindi, ndingangi ndibetha umoya;
9:27 ndisuka ndiwuqobe umzimba wam, ndiwuxinzelele phantsi, hleze ndithi, ndakuba ndizivakalisile iindaba ezilungileyo kwabanye, ndibe mna ndingumlahlelwa phandle.
10:1 Ke andithandi ukuba ningazi, bazalwana, ukuba oobawo babephantsi kwalo ilifu bonke; balucanda ulwandle bonke;
10:2 babhaptizelwa bonke kuye uMoses efini elo naselwandle;
10:3 badla bonke oko kudla kunye kukokomoya;
10:4 basela bonke olo luselo lunye lulolomoya (kuba babesela kwiliwa elilelomoya elibe libalandela, iliwa elo ke lalinguye uKristu).
10:5 Kanti noko uThixo akakholiswanga ngabona baninzi; kuba bathiwa waca entlango apho.
10:6 Ezo zinto ke zabe ziyimizekelo kuthi, ukuze singabi ngabakhanuki bezinto ezimbi, njengokuba bakhanukayo bona abo.
10:7 Kanjalo musani ukuba ngababusi bezithixo, njengenxenye yabo; njengokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Abantu bahlala phantsi ukuba badle, basele, baza besuka bema ukuba badlale.
10:8 Kanjalo masingenzi mbulo, njengokuba inxenye yabo yenza umbulo, kwawa ngamini-nye amawaka amashumi mabini anamathathu.
10:9 Kanjalo masingamhendi uKristu, njengokuba inxenye yabo yahendayo, yaza yatshabalala ziinyoka.
10:10 Kanjalo musani ukukrokra, njengokuba inxenye yabo yakrokrayo, yaza yatshabalala ngumtshabalalisi.
10:11 Zonke ke ezo zinto, zabahlelayo bona, beziyimifuziselo; zabhalelwa ke ukululeka thina aba, bafikelweyo ziziphelo zawo amaphakade.
10:12 Ngoko ke lowo uba umi, makalumke angawi.
10:13 Anibanjwanga silingo singesesabantu. Uthembekile ke uThixo, ongayi kuvumela ukuba nilingwe ngaphezu kweninako; owothi, kunye nesilingo eso, avelise ithuba lokuphuma kuso, ukuba nibe nako ukuthwala.
10:14 Kungoko ndithi, zintanda zam, kubalekeni ukubusa izithixo.
10:15 Ndithetha njengakwiingqondi; kucaluleni nina endikuthethayo.
10:16 Indebe yentsikelelo le siyisikelelayo, asibubudlelane na begazi likaKristu? Isonka esi sisiqhekezayo, asibubudlelane na bomzimba kaKristu?
10:17 Ngokuba thina, sibaninzi nje, sisonka sinye, simzimba mnye, kuba sonke sabelana ngeso sonka sinye.
10:18 Khangelani abangamaSirayeli ngokwenyama. Abo bawadlayo amadini, abadlelani nesibingelelo eso, yini na?
10:19 Ndithini na ke ngoko? Ndithi, isithixo siyinto na? Ndithi, amadini enzelwa izithixo ayinto na?
10:20 Anditsho! Ndithi, Amadini eziwenzayo iintlanga, ziwenzela iidemon, aziwenzeli uThixo. Andithandi ke ukuba nibe ngamadlelane needemon nina.
10:21 Aninako ukusela indebe yeNkosi nendebe yeedemon; aninako ukwabelana ngesithebe seNkosi nesithebe seedemon.
10:22 Siyayikhweletisa na iNkosi? Sinamandla kunayo, yini na?
10:23 Zonke izinto zivumelekile kum, noko azindilungele zonke; zonke izinto zivumelekile kum, noko azakhi zonke.
10:24 Makungabikho namnye ufuna okukokwakhe ukulungelwa; elowo makafune nokomnye.
10:25 Yonke into ethengelwa endaweni yokuthenga inyama, yidleni, ningaphicothi nto ngenxa yesazela;
10:26 kuba umhlaba lo ngoweNkosi, nenzaliseko yawo.
10:27 Ukuba ke ubani wakubo abangakholwayo uthi animeme, nithande ukuya, yonke into ebekwa phambi kwenu yidleni, ningaphicothi nto ngenxa yesazela.
10:28 Kodwa ke ukuba ubani uthe kuni, Le nto ilidini elenzelwe izithixo, musani ukudla, ngenxa ke yalowo uyithe thupha loo ndawo, nangenxa yesazela; kuba umhlaba lo ngoweNkosi, nenzaliseko yawo.
10:29 Ndithi, isazela ke, singesiso esakho wena; sisesomnye lowo. Kuba yini na ukuba inkululeko yam igwetywe sesinye isazela?
10:30 Ke ukuba mna ndidla ndibulela, yini na ukuba ndinyeliswe ngenxa yoko ndikubulelayo mna?
10:31 Ke ngoko nokuba niyadla, nokuba niyasela, nokuba nenza yiphi na into, zenzeleni uzuko lukaThixo izinto zonke.
10:32 Yibani ngabangebawisi nakumaYuda, nakumaGrike, nakulo ibandla likaThixo;
10:33 njengokuba nam ndikholisa bonke ezintweni zonke, ndingafuni okwam ukulungelwa, ndifuna okwabaninzi, ukuze basindiswe.
11:1 Yibani ngabaxelisa mna, njengokuba nam ndixelisa uKristu.
11:2 Ke kaloku ndiyanidumisa, bazalwana, kuba nindikhumbula ngeendawo zonke, nizibambile izithethe, njengoko ndaninikelayo.
11:3 Kodwa ke ndithanda ukuba nazi, ukuba intloko yomntu wonke oyindoda nguKristu, intloko ke yomfazi yindoda, intloko ke kaKristu nguThixo.
11:4 Umntu wonke oyindoda, ethandaza, mhlawumbi eprofeta, enento entloko, uya intloko yakhe.
11:5 Umntu wonke ke ongumfazi, ethandaza, mhlawumbi eprofeta, engenasigqubuthelo entloko, uyayihlaza eyakhe intloko; kuba oko kunto-nye nokuba uchetyiwe.
11:6 Kuba umfazi, ukuba akagqubuthele, makaselenquthulwa nokunquthulwa. Ke ukuba kulihlazo kumfazi ukuba anquthulwe, mhlawumbi achetywe, makabe nesigqubuthelo.
11:7 Kuba indoda okunene ayifanele ukuba nesigqubuthelo entloko, ekubeni ingumfanekiselo nozuko lukaThixo; ke yena umfazi luzuko lwendoda.
11:8 Kuba indoda ayiphume emfazini, ngumfazi ophume endodeni;
11:9 kuba indoda ayidalwanga ngenxa yomfazi, kwadalwa umfazi ngenxa yendoda.
11:10 Ngenxa yoko umfazi ufanele ukuba abe nomqondiso wegunya phezu kwentloko, ngenxa yezithunywa zezulu.
11:11 Kodwa eNkosini apha indoda ayingaphandle komfazi, nomfazi akangaphandle kwendoda;
11:12 kuba, njengokuba umfazi ephume kwindoda, ngokunjalo nayo indoda ingaye umfazi; konke ke oko kuphume kuThixo.
11:13 Yahlulani nina ngaphakathi kwenu; kumfanele na umfazi ukuthandaza kuThixo, engagqubuthele?
11:14 Kananjalo imvelo ngokwayo ayinifundisi na, ukuba indoda okunene ethi ibe neenwele ezinde, kulihlazo oko kuyo?
11:15 Ke yena umfazi, ukuba uthi abe neenwele ezinde, kuluzuko oko kuye; ngokuba wazinikwa iinwele ezinde endaweni yesigqubuthelo.
11:16 Ke ukuba ubani ubonakala ethanda ukuphika, thina asinasiko linjalo, kwanawo amabandla kaThixo.
11:17 Ke kaloku, ndinithethela le ndawo nje, andinincomi, ukuba ukuhlangana kwenu ndawonye akusingisi kokhona kulungileyo; kusingisa kokhona kubi.
11:18 Kuba kuqalake, nakuhlangana ebandleni, ndiyeva ukuba kubakho izahlukahlukano phakathi kwenu; ndithi ke kufanele ukuba zikho.
11:19 Kuba kumele ukuba kubekho nezahlukano phakathi kwenu, ukuze abacikidekileyo babonakale phakathi kwenu.
11:20 Xenikweni ngoko nithe nahlangana ndawonye, asikuko ukuba nidle isidlo seNkosi;
11:21 kuba ekudleni kwenu elowo udla okwakhe ukudla; uqala adle, bengekafiki abanye, aze omnye alambe, omnye anxile.
11:22 Kanene aninazindlu na zokudlela nokusela? Okanye nidela ibandla likaThixo na, nibadanisa nje abangenanto? Ndithini na kuni? Ndinidumise na kule nto? Andinidumisi.
11:23 Kuba mna ndakwamkela kuyo iNkosi oko ndikunikeleyo nokukunikela kuni: Okokuba iNkosi uYesu, ngobusuku eyanikelwa ngabo, yathabatha isonka;
11:24 yaza yakuba ibulele, yasiqhekeza, yathi, Thabathani, nidle, ngumzimba wam lo, owaphulelwa nina; oku kwenzeleni ukundikhumbula.
11:25 Kwangokunjalo yathabatha nayo indebe, emva kokuba kudliwe, isithi, Le ndebe ingumnqophiso omtsha osegazini lam; ngamaxesha onke enisukuba niyisela, oku kwenzeleni ukundikhumbula.
11:26 Kuba ngamaxesha onke enisukuba nisidla eso sonka, niyisele loo ndebe, niyakwazisa ukufa kweNkosi, ide ifike.
11:27 Ngoko ke, osukuba esidla eso sonka, ayisele indebe yeNkosi, ngokungafanelekileyo, woba netyala lomzimba negazi leNkosi.
11:28 Makazicikide ke ngokwakhe umntu, aze ngokunjalo adle kwisonka eso, asele kwindebe leyo;
11:29 kuba lowo udlayo, uselayo, ngokungafanelekileyo, uzidlela aziselele ukugwetywa, engawucaluli nje umzimba weNkosi.
11:30 Ngenxa yoku baninzi phakathi kwenu abaswele amandla, nabayimilwelwe, banele nabalele ukufa.
11:31 Kuba xa besizicalula, ngesiba asigwetywa.
11:32 Sigwetywa nje ke, siyaqeqeshwa yiNkosi, ukuze singasingelwa phantsi ndawonye nehlabathi.
11:33 Ngoko ke, bazalwana bam, xa nihlangene ndawonye ukuba nidle, lindanani.
11:34 Ukuba ke ubani ulambile, makadle ekhaya, ukuze ningahlanganeli ukugwetywa. Eziseleyo ke iindawo ndozilungisa, xa ndithe ndafika.
12:1 Ke ngezipho ezizezoMoya, bazalwana, andithandi ukuba ningazi.
12:2 Niyazi ukuba nibe ningabeentlanga, nikhukuliselwe ezithixweni ezingenakuthetha, njengoko nisakuthi nikhokelwe ngako.
12:3 Kungoko ndinazisayo, okokuba akukho namnye, ethetha ekuMoya kaThixo, unokuthi ungosingelwe phantsi uYesu; kanjalo akukho namnye unako ukuthi uyiNkosi uYesu, engekuye uMoya oyiNgcwele.
12:4 Ke kaloku kukho izabelo ngezabelo zezibabalo, kodwa ke ikwanguloo Moya mnye.
12:5 Kukho nezabelo ngezabelo zezilungiselelo, phofu ikwayiloo Nkosi inye.
12:6 Kukho nezabelo ngezabelo zeentsebenzo, kodwa ke ikwanguloo Thixo mnye uzisebenzayo izinto zonke kubo bonke.
12:7 Elowo ke uphiwa ukubonakalalisa uMoya, kuze kubekho okulungele bonke;
12:8 kuba omnye okunene uphiwa ngaye uMoya ilizwi lobulumko; kodwa ke omnye, ilizwi lokwazi kwangokwaloo Moya;
12:9 wumbi ke uphiwa ukholo kwangaloo Moya; omnye ke, izibabalo zeziphiliso kwangaloo Moya;
12:10 omnye ke uphiwa iintsebenzo zemisebenzi yamandla; omnye ke iziprofeto; omnye ke, ukucalula oomoya; wumbi ke, iintlobo zeelwimi; omnye ke, ukucaciswa kweelwimi.
12:11 Zonke ke ezo zinto zisetyenzwa kwangaloo Moya mnye; umabela elowo ngokwakhe njengoko athandayo.
12:12 Kuba, kwanjengokuba umzimba umnye, unamalungu amaninzi, abe ke onke amalungu aloo mzimba mnye, emaninzi nje, emzimba mnye, ukwanjalo ke noKristu lo.
12:13 Kuba thina sonke sabhaptizelwa mzimbeni mnye ngaMoya mnye, nokuba singamaYuda, nokuba singamaGrike; nokuba singamakhoboka, nokuba singabakhululekileyo; sonke sasezwa Moyeni mnye;
12:14 kuba nomzimba lo ungelungu linye, ungamaninzi.
12:15 Ukuba luthe unyawo, Ngokuba ndingesiso isandla, andingowasemzimbeni, luthi, ngenxa yoko, lungabi lolwasemzimbeni na?
12:16 Nokuba ithe indlebe, Ngokuba ndingelilo iliso, andingowasemzimbeni, ithi, ngenxa yoko, ingabi yeyasemzimbeni na?
12:17 Ukuba umzimba lo uphela ubuliliso, bekuya kuba phi na ukuva? Ukuba ubukukuva uphela, bekuya kuba phi na ukusezela?
12:18 Kungoku ke uThixo wawamisa amalungu, lalelo nelo emzimbeni, njengoko wathandayo.
12:19 Ukuba ke onke ebelungu linye, ubuya kuba phi na umzimba?
12:20 Kungoku ke maninzi okunene amalungu, kodwa mnye wona umzimba.
12:21 Alinako ke iliso ukuthi kwisandla, Akufuneki kum; kanjalo intloko ayinakuthi kwiinyawo, Anifuneki kum.
12:22 Asuka amalungu omzimba angathi ngaswele amandla kwamanye, abe ngawona afunekayo.
12:23 Namalungu omzimba esiba ngaswele imbeko kunamanye, lawo ngawona siwabeka embekweni; aze amalungu ethu ahloniphekayo, abe ngawona abekekileyo.
12:24 Amalungu ethu ke abekekileyo akufuneki nto kuwo. Usuke uThixo wawumanya umzimba, wathi ilungu elingento walibeka kweyona mbeko inkulu;
12:25 ukuze kungabikho kwahlukahlukana emzimbeni, kubekho ukunyamekelana kwamalungu ngakunye;
12:26 kuthi, nokuba lilungu elinye eliva ubunzima, avelane amalungu onke; nokuba lilungu elinye elizukiswayo, avuyisane amalungu onke.
12:27 Nina ke ningumzimba kaKristu, ningamalungu ngokwabelwa izabelo.
12:28 Wathi inxenye uThixo wayimisa ebandleni, kuqala yangabapostile, okwesibini abaprofeti, okwesithathu abafundisi; kwaza kwaba yimisebenzi yamandla, kwaba zizibabalo zeziphiliso, iintsizo, izilawulo, iintlobo zeelwimi.
12:29 Bangabapostile bonke yini na? Bangabaprofeti bonke yini na? Bangabafundisi bonke yini na? Bangabenzi bemisebenzi yamandla bonke yini na?
12:30 Banezibabalo zeziphiliso bonke yini na? Bathetha ngalwimi zimbi bonke yini na? Bacacisa intetho bonke yini na?
12:31 Zondelelani ke ezona zibabalo zilungileyo; kanti ke ndisanibonisa eyona ndlela incamisileyo.
13:1 Ndingafanelana ndithetha ngeelwimi zabantu nezezithunywa zezulu; uthando ke ndingenalo, ndisuke ndaba yixina ehlokomayo, necangci elikhenkcezayo.
13:2 Ndingafanelana ndinabo nobuprofeto, ndizazi iimfihlelo zonke, ndinako konke ukwazi; ndingafanelana ndinalo lonke ukholo, ngokokude ndisuse iintaba, uthando ke ndingenalo, andinto yanto.
13:3 Ndingafanelana ndisamkelisa amahlwempu ngempahla yam yonke, nokuba ndithe umzimba wam ndawunikela ukuba utshiswe, uthando ke ndingenalo, akundincedi lutho.
13:4 Uthando luzeka kade umsindo, lunobubele; uthando alunamona; uthando alugwagwisi; alukhukhumali;
13:5 alwenzi okuziintloni; alufuni okukokwalo kodwa; alucaphuki; alunanzondo;
13:6 aluvuyeli kungalungisi; luvuyisana nenyaniso.
13:7 Luthwala iinto zonke; lukholwa ziinto zonke; luthemba iinto zonke; lunyamezela iinto zonke.
13:8 Uthando aluze lutshitshe; nokuba ke ziziprofeto, ziya kubhangiswa; nokuba ziilwimi, ziya kupheza; nokuba kukwazi, kuya kuphuthiswa.
13:9 Kuba siyazi ngokuyinxenye, siprofeta ngokuyinxenye.
13:10 Xa kuthe ke kwafika okuzalisekileyo, kuya kwandula ukuphuthiswa okuyinxenye.
13:11 Oko bendingumntwana, bendithetha ngokomntwana, bendiqonda ngokomntwana, bendicamanga ngokomntwana; ndithe ke, ndakuba yindoda, ndazibhangisa izinto zobuntwana.
13:12 Kuba ngoku sikhangela esipilini ngokwamanakanibe; oko ke, siya kukhangelana ebusweni. Ngoku ndazi ngokuyinxenye; oko ke ndiya kwazi kakuhle, njengoko ndaziwayo nokwaziwa nam.
13:13 Kungoku ke kuhleli ukholo, ithemba, uthando, ezo zinto zontathu; eyona inkulu ke kuzo apho luthando.
14:1 Phuthumani uthando olo, nibe kodwa nizizondelela izipho ezizezoMoya, ngokukodwa ke ukuba niprofete.
14:2 Kuba lowo uthetha ngalulwimi lumbi akathethi bantwini, uthetha kuThixo; kuba akukho namnye umvayo, kodwa ke ngomoya uthetha iimfihlelo.
14:3 Ke yena oprofetayo uthetha ebantwini ulwakheko, noyalo, nokhuzo.
14:4 Lowo uthetha ngalulwimi lumbi uzakha yena; ke lowo uprofetayo wakha ibandla.
14:5 Ndiyathanda ke ukuba nithethe ngalwimi zimbi nonke, noko ke ndithanda ngokukodwa ukuba niprofete. Kuba yena oprofetayo mkhulu kunalowo uthetha ngalwimi zimbi, xa lo angayicacisiyo intetho, ukuze ibandla libe nokwakheka.
14:6 Kunjalonje ke, bazalwana, ukuba ndithe ndeza kuni, ndithetha ngalwimi zimbi, bendiya kuninceda ntoni na, xa ndingathanga ndithethe kuni ndinesityhilelo, ndinokwazi, ndinesiprofeto, ndinemfundiso?
14:7 Khona kwizinto ezihlokomayo ezingenamphefumlo, ezinjengembande, nohadi, ukuba azithanga zahlule ukuhlokoma kwazo, bekungathiwani na ukwaziwa oko kubethwayo ngembande, noko kubethwayo ngohadi?
14:8 Kuba kanjalo, xa ixilongo lithe lalila ngezwi elingaqondakaliyo, ngubani na owoyixhobela imfazwe?
14:9 Ngokunjalo nani, ukuba anithanga nithethe ngalo ulwimi intetho eqondeka kakuhle, yothiwani na ukwaziwa into enithetha yona? Kuba noba nithethela emoyeni.
14:10 Nokuba zingaba sezingakanani na ukuba zininzi kwazo iintlobo zeentetho ehlabathini, akukho nalunye kuzo olungenanto luthetha yona.
14:11 Ukuba ngoko andithanga ndiyazi intsingiselo yentetho, ndoba ngumbharbhari kothethayo, nothethayo woba ngumbharbhari kum.
14:12 Ngokunjalo nani, ekubeni kaloku nizondelela izipho ezizezoMoya, zifuneleni ukuba nibe nazo ngokugqithiseleyo, ukuze lakheke ibandla.
14:13 Ngenxa yoko ndithi, othethayo ngalwimi zimbi, makathandazele ukuba icace intetho yakhe.
14:14 Kuba xa ndithandaza ngalulwimi lumbi, umoya wam uyathandaza okunene wona, ke yona ingqiqo yam ayinasiqhamo.
14:15 Kuthini na ke ngoko? Ndiya kuthandaza ngomoya, ndithandaze nangengqiqo; ndiya kuvuma ngomoya, ndivume nangengqiqo.
14:16 Okanye, ukuba uthe wasikelela ngomoya wodwa, wothini na lowo uhleliyo endaweni yongenakwazi ukuthi, Amen, ekubuleleni kwakho, ekubeni kaloku into oyithethayo engayazi?
14:17 Kuba okunene wena uyatyapha ukubulela, kodwa onguwumbi akakheki.
14:18 Ndiyabulela kuThixo wam, kuba ndithetha ngalwimi zimbi ngaphezu kwenu nonke;
14:19 kodwa ke ebandleni ndithanda ukuthetha amazwi abe mahlanu ngayo ingqiqo yam, ukuze ndibafundise nabanye, kunokuba ndithethe amazwi angamawaka alishumi, ngalulwimi lumbi.
14:20 Bazalwana, musani ukuba ngabantwana engqondweni; ebubini yibani ziintsana, engqondweni ke yibani ngabantu abakhulu.
14:21 Emthethweni kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Ndiya kuthetha kwaba bantu ngalwimi zimbi nangamlomo wumbi; noko ndiya kwenjenjalo, abayi kundiva, itsho iNkosi.
14:22 Ngoko ke iilwimi ezi zikho ukuba zibe ngumqondiso kwabo bangakholwayo, kungekubo abakholwayo: ke sona isiprofeto asisesabangakholwayo, sesabakholwayo.
14:23 Ukuba ngoko lithe lahlangana ndawonye ibandla liphela, bathetha bonke ngalwimi zimbi, kwaza kwangena abangenakwazi, nokuba ngabangakholwayo, abasayi kuthi na, niyageza?
14:24 Ke ukuba bathi bonke baprofete, kuze ke kungene umntu ongakholwayo, nokuba ngongenakwazi, uyohlwaywa ngabo bonke, adane; uyaphicothwa ngabo bonke;
14:25 zize ngokunjalo izinto ezifihlakeleyo zentliziyo yakhe zibonakalaliswe; wothi ngokunjalo, esiwa ngobuso, amnqule uThixo, exela ukuba uThixo uphakathi kwenu okwenyaniso.
14:26 Kuthini na ke ngoko, bazalwana? Xa sukuba nihlangene, uthi elowo kuni abe nengoma, abe nemfundiso, abe nalulwimi lumbi, abe nesityhilelo, abe nokuchaza intetho. Mazithi zonke izinto zenzelwe ukuba lakheke ibandla.
14:27 Kanjalo ukuba umntu uthetha ngalulwimi lumbi, makuthethe babini, mhlawumbi bathathu, bangegqithi, kube ngokulandelelana, aze omnye acacise intetho.
14:28 Ke xa kungekho mchazi-ntetho, makathi cwaka ebandleni; makathethe kuye ngokwakhe nakuThixo.
14:29 Abaprofeti ke, makuthethe babini, mhlawumbi bathathu, abanye bacalule.
14:30 Ukuba ke kuthe watyhilelwa into omnye ehleli khona, owokuqala makathi cwaka.
14:31 Kuba ninako ukuprofeta ngabanye nonke, ukuze bafunde bonke, bavuselelwe bonke.
14:32 Kanjalo oomoya babaprofeti bayabalulamela abaprofeti;
14:33 kuba uThixo akangowesiphithiphithi, ngowoxolo; njengokuba kunjalo kuwo onke amabandla abangcwele.
14:34 Abafazi benu mabathi tu emabandleni; kuba abavunyelwa bona ukuba bathethe. Kuthiwa mabalulame, njengokuba usitsho nomthetho.
14:35 Ukuba ke banga bangaqonda into, mabayibuze ekhaya kwawabo amadoda; kuba lihlazo kubafazi ukuthetha ebandleni.
14:36 Kanene ilizwi likaThixo laphuma livela kuni na? lafika kuni nedwa, kusini na?
14:37 Ukuba umntu uba ungumprofeti, nokuba uba ungowoMoya, makazazi kakuhle izinto endinibhalela zona, ukuba yimithetho yeNkosi.
14:38 Ke ukuba umntu akazi, makangazi.
14:39 Ngoko ke, bazalwana, kuzondeleleni ukuprofeta, ningakwaleli ukuthetha ngalwimi zimbi.
14:40 Zonke izinto mazenziwe ngokubekekileyo, nangolungelelwano.
15:1 Ke kaloku, bazalwana, ndiyanazisa iindaba ezilungileyo, ezo ndazishumayela kuni, nazamkelayo nokuzamkela, nimiyo nokuma kuzo,
15:2 nisindiswayo nokusindiswa ngazo, ukuba nizibambile ngelizwi endazishumayela ngalo kuni; ukuba anithe nafumana nakholwa.
15:3 Kuba ndaninikela kweziyintloko izinto oko ndakwamkelayo nokukwamkela: okokuba uKristu wazifela izono zethu ngokwezibhalo,
15:4 nokokuba wangcwatywa, nokokuba uvukile ngomhla wesithathu ngokwezibhalo;
15:5 nokokuba wabonwa nguKefas, emva koko ngabalishumi elinababini.
15:6 Emveni kuko wabonwa ngaxesha linye ngabazalwana abangaphezu kwamakhulu amahlanu, abasahleliyo nangoku abona baninzi kubo; inxenye ke yalala ukufa.
15:7 Emva koko wabonwa nguYakobi, kamva ngabo bonke abapostile.
15:8 Ekugqibeleni ke kwabo bonke, kwanga kukwinto ezelwe lingekabi lilixa layo, wabonwa nandim.
15:9 Kuba mna ndingoyena mncinanana kubapostile, endingafanele kubizwa ngokuba ngumpostile, ngenxa enokuba ndalitshutshisa ibandla likaThixo.
15:10 Ke ngobabalo lukaThixo ndiyinto endiyiyo, nobabalo lwakhe kum alubanga nakulambatha; ndesuka ndabagqitha bonke ngokubulaleka; ingendim ke, ilubabalo lukaThixo olunam.
15:11 Ke ngoko, nokuba ndim, nokuba ngabo, senjenjalo thina ukushumayela; nenjenjalo ke nina ukukholwa.
15:12 Ke, ukuba uKristu uyashunyayelwa ukuba uvukile kwabafileyo, batsho ngani na abathile phakathi kwenu ukuthi, akukho luvuko lwabafileyo?
15:13 Ke, ukuba akukho luvuko lwabafileyo, woba akavukanga noKristu;
15:14 ukuba ke uKristu akavukanga, koba akunto ukushumayela kwethu, loba luyalambatha nokholo lwenu.
15:15 Sofunyanwa ke singawo namangqina amxokayo uThixo, ngokuba sangqinayo ngoThixo ukuba wamvusa uKristu: angamvusanga, ukuba ke kanti abafileyo abavuki.
15:16 Kuba, ukuba abafileyo abavuki, noKristu woba akavukanga.
15:17 Ukuba ke uKristu akavukanga, loba luyinto engeyanto ukholo lwenu, noba nisesezonweni zenu;
15:18 ngoko nabalele ukufa bekuKristu, boba batshabalele.
15:19 Ukuba singabathembele kuKristu kobu bomi bodwa, soba sizezona ntsizana kubantu bonke.
15:20 UKristu yena kunje uvukile kwabafileyo, waba yintlahlela yabalele ukufa.
15:21 Kuba ekubeni kaloku kungomntu ukufa, kukwangomntu ukuvuka kwabafileyo.
15:22 Kuba, njengokuba kuye uAdam bafa bonke, ngokunjalo nakuye uKristu baya kudliswa ubomi bonke:
15:23 elowo ke kolwakhe uluhlu; intlahlela inguKristu, kamva abakaKristu ekufikeni kwakhe;
15:24 kwandule ke ukubakho isiphelo, xa athe wabunikela ubukumkani kuye uThixo uYise, xa athe wabubhangisa bonke ubulawuli, nalo lonke igunya, namandla.
15:25 Kuba umelwe yena kukuthi alawule, ade azibeke phantsi kweenyawo zakhe zonke iintshaba.
15:26 Olokugqibela utshaba oluya kubhangiswa kukufa;
15:27 kuba izinto zonke wazithobela phantsi kweenyawo zakhe. Ke xa athi, Izinto zonke zithotyiwe, kuyabonakala ukuba akabalwa lowo wazithobela phantsi kwakhe zonke izinto.
15:28 Xa ke zithe zathotyelwa phantsi kwakhe zonke izinto, uya kwandula noNyana ngokwakhe athotyelwe phantsi kwalowo wazithobela phantsi kwakhe zonke izinto, ukuze uThixo abe zizinto zonke kubo bonke.
15:29 Okanye baya kwenza ntoni na abo babhaptizelwa abafileyo, ukuba abafileyo abaze bavuke? Yini na ukuba babhaptizelwe nokubhaptizelwa abafileyo?
15:30 Nathi, yini na ukuba sibe semngciphekweni amaxa onke?
15:31 Ndisekufeni imihla ngemihla; qondani ngokuzingca kwam ngani, endinako ndikuKristu Yesu, iNkosi yethu.
15:32 Ukuba ndithe ngokwabantu ndalwa namarhamncwa e-Efese, kundinceda ntoni na? Ukuba abafileyo abavuki, masesisidla, sisela, kuba ngomso siya kufa.
15:33 Musani ukulahlekiswa. Incoko embi yonakalisa izimilo ezilungileyo.
15:34 Qabukani kakuhle, ningoni; kuba inxenye inentswela-kumazi uThixo; nditsho kuni ukuba nidane.
15:35 Wosuka ubani athi, Bathini na ukuvuka abafileyo? Beza benamzimba unjani na?
15:36 Msweli-kuqonda wena, into oyihlwayelayo ayenziwa iphile, ukuba ayikhanga ife.
15:37 Kanjalo loo nto uyihlwayelayo, akuhlwayeli sona isiqu sento esiya kubakho; uhlwayela ukhozo nje, lungathi lube lolwengqolowa, nokuba lolwezinye iintlobo;
15:38 uThixo ke ulunika isiqu, njengoko athandileyo; iyileyo imbewu uyinika esisesayo isiqu.
15:39 Yonke inyama ayinyama-nye; enye yinyama yabantu, enye yinyama yeenkomo, enye yeyeentlanzi, enye yeyeentaka.
15:40 Kukho iziqu ezisezulwini, neziqu ezisemhlabeni; bubodwa ubuqaqawuli bezasezulwini, bubodwa obezasemhlabeni.
15:41 Bubodwa ubuqaqawuli belanga, bubodwa ubuqaqawuli benyanga, bubodwa ubuqaqawuli beenkwenkwezi; kuba inkwenkwezi iyahluka kwenye inkwenkwezi ngobuqaqawuli.
15:42 Lunjalo ke kanye novuko lwabafileyo. Umzimba uhlwayelwa unokonakala, uvuka ungenakonakala.
15:43 Uhlwayelwa uswele imbeko, uvuka unobuqaqawuli; uhlwayelwa uswele amandla, uvuka unamandla;
15:44 kuhlwayelwa umzimba ongowemvelo, kuvuka umzimba ongowomoya. Kukho umzimba ongowemvelo, kukho nomzimba ongowomoya.
15:45 Ngokunjalo kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Owokuqala umntu uAdam waba ngumphefumlo odla ubomi; owokugqibela uAdam waba ngumoya odlisa ubomi.
15:46 Ke akuqali okomoya; kuqala okwemvelo, kwandule ukuza okomoya.
15:47 Owokuqala umntu uphume emhlabeni, ungowomhlaba; owesibini umntu, iNkosi, uphume emazulwini.
15:48 Into ayiyo owomhlaba, bakwayiyo abomhlaba; kanjalo nento ayiyo osemazulwini, bakwayiyo abasemazulwini;
15:49 njengokuba sawambathayo umfanekiselo wowomhlaba, siya kuwambatha nomfanekiselo wosemazulwini.
15:50 Ke, bazalwana, nditsho ukuthi, inyama negazi azinako ukubudla ilifa ubukumkani bukaThixo; nokonakala akunakukudla ilifa ukungonakali.
15:51 Yabonani, ndinixelela imfihlelo: Okunene asiyi kulala ukufa sonke; kodwa siya kwenziwa ngakumbi sonke,
15:52 ngesiquphe, ngephanyazo, ngexilongo lokugqibela. Kuba liya kulila ixilongo, bavuke abafileyo bengenakonakala, senziwe ngakumbi ke thina.
15:53 Kuba kumele oku konakalayo ukwambatha ukungonakali, noku kufayo ukwambatha ukungafi.
15:54 Xa ke oku konakalayo kuthe kwambatha ukungonakali, noku kufayo kuthe kwambatha ukungafi, liya kwandula ukwenzeka ilizwi elibhaliweyo lokuthi, Ukufa kufincelwe eloyisweni.
15:55 Luphi na, kufa, ulwamvila lwakho? Luphi na, Hadesi, uloyiso lwakho?
15:56 Ulwamvila lokufa sisono; amandla esono ngumthetho.
15:57 Makubulelwe ke kuThixo osinikayo uloyiso olo, ngayo iNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu.
15:58 Ngoko ke, bazalwana bam abaziintanda, qinani, ningabi nakushukuma; nihlale niphuphuma umsebenzi weNkosi, nisazi nje ukuba ukubulaleka kwenu akulambathi eNkosini.
16:1 Ke kaloku, ngokubuthwa kwemali yokusiza abangcwele, njengokuba ndawamiselayo amabandla kaThixo akwelaseGalati, yenzani ngokunjalo nani.
16:2 Ngolokuqala usuku, iiveki ngeeveki, elowo kuni makabeke ekhaya, eqweba, into asukuba esikelelwe ngayo; ukuze kungathi, ndakuba ndifikile, kwandule ukubuthwa imali.
16:3 Ke ndakuba ndifikile, enisukuba nibacikidile nakholwa ngabo, ndobathuma bona benencwadi, base isipho senu esi eYerusalem.
16:4 Ke ukuba kuthe kwabonakala ukuba nam ndiye, bohamba kunye nam.
16:5 Ndiya kuza ke kuni, xa ndithe ndacanda kwelaseMakedoni, kuba ndiya kwanela ukucanda nje kwelaseMakedoni.
16:6 Ke kuni mhlawumbi ndingathi ndihlale ndidlulise nobusika, ukuze nina nindiphelekelele apho ndisukuba ndisiya khona.
16:7 Kuba andithandi ukuba ndinibone ngoku ndidlulayo; kodwa ndithemba ukuba ndokha ndihlale kuni ixesha elithile, ukuba iNkosi ithe yavuma.
16:8 Ndiya kuhlala ke e-Efese kude kubekho ipentekoste;
16:9 kuba ndivulelwe umnyango omkhulu onamandla, bebaninzi nabachasi.
16:10 Ke kaloku, ukuba uTimoti uthe wafika, ize nikhangele ukuba angabi nakoyika phakathi kwenu; kuba uyawusebenza umsebenzi weNkosi, kwanjengam,
16:11 Ize kungabikho bani ngoko umenza into engento. Mphelekeleleni ke nixolile, ukuze eze kum; kuba ndimlindile kunye nabazalwana.
16:12 Ke kaloku, ngaye nApolo umzalwana, ndamvuselela kakhulu, ukuba eze kuni kunye nabazalwana. Kuye akubangakho kanye ukuthanda ukuza okwakalokunje; woza ke, xa athe wanethuba elilungileyo.
16:13 Phaphani, elukholweni; yibani ngamadoda; yomelelani.
16:14 Zonke izinto zenu mazenziwe ninothando.
16:15 Ke kaloku ndiyanivuselela, bazalwana (niyayazi indlu kaStefana, ukuba iyintlahlela yelaseAkaya, nokuba bazimisele ukulungiselela abangcwele),
16:16 ukuze nani nibalulamele abanjalo, nabo bonke abasebenzisana nathi emsebenzini, nababulalekayo.
16:17 Ndiyavuya ke ngokufika kukaStefana noFortunato noAkayiko; ngokuba bakwenzelelele bona ukungabikho kwenu;
16:18 kuba bawuphumzile umoya wam nowenu. Bazini kakuhle ngoko abanjalo.
16:19 Ayanibulisa amabandla kaThixo akwelaseAsiya. Bayanibulisa kunene eNkosini uAkwila noPrisila, kunye nebandla elisendlwini yabo.
16:20 Bayanibulisa abazalwana bonke. Bulisanani ngolwango olungcwele.
16:21 Umbuliso ungesam isandla, mna Pawulos.
16:22 Ukuba ubani akayithandi iNkosi uYesu Kristu, makasingelwe phantsi. INkosi iyeza.
16:23 Ubabalo lweNkosi uYesu Kristu malube nani.
16:24 Uthando lwam malube nani nonke bakuKristu Yesu. Amen.

1:1 UPetros, umpostile kaYesu Kristu, ubhalela abanyuliweyo abangabaphambukeli kwiintsali ezikwelasePonto, kwelaseGalati, kwelaseKapadoki, kwelaseAsiya, nakwelaseBhitini,
1:2 abanyuliweyo ngokokwazi kwenxa engaphambili kukaThixo uYise, ebungcweleni boMoya, kuse ekululameleni nasekufefweni kwegazi likaYesu Kristu: uthi, Makwandiswe kuni ubabalo noxolo.
1:3 Makabongwe uThixo, uYise weNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, othe ngokobuninzi benceba yakhe, wasizala ngokutsha, ukuba sibe nethemba eliphilileyo ngokuvuka kukaYesu Kristu kwabafileyo;
1:4 sibe nelifa elingenakonakala, elingenakudyobheka, elingenakuguga, eniligcinelweyo emazulwini,
1:5 nina bathe ngamandla kaThixo ngokholo balondolozelwa elusindisweni, olulungiselwe ukutyhilwa ngexesha lokugqibela.
1:6 Enigcoba ngalo, nokuba nithe naba buhlungu umzuzwana ngoku, ukuba nimelwe kuko, phakathi kwezilingo ngezilingo;
1:7 ukuze ukucikideka kokholo lwenu kufunyanwe kunqabile kakhulu, ngaphezu kwegolide le itshabalalayo, noko icikidwa ngomlilo; kuse kuyo indumiso nembeko nozuko ekutyhilekeni kukaYesu Kristu.
1:8 Enithe, ningambonanga nje, namthanda; enithi ke nikholwa kuye, noko ngoku ningamboniyo, nigcobe ngovuyo olungathethekiyo, oluzukisiweyo;
1:9 nisamkela isiphelo sokholo lwenu, usindiso ke lwemiphefumlo yenu.
1:10 Usindiso abathe babuzisa, baphengulula kunene ngalo abaprofeti, ababeprofeta ngalo ubabalo olwamiselwa nina;
1:11 bephengulula ukuba wayesalatha xesha lini na, linjani na, uMoya kaKristu, awayezingqinela kubo ngenxa engaphambili iintlungu ezamiselwa uKristu, nozuko oluya kuzilandela.
1:12 Abatyhilelwayo ukuba abazilungiseleli bona ngokwabo; bazilungiselela thina ke, izinto enizityelweyo ngoku ngabo banishumayezayo iindaba ezilungileyo ngoMoya oyiNgcwele, owathunywa evela emazulwini; izinto ke ezo ezizinqwenelayo izithunywa zezulu ukuqondela kuzo.
1:13 Ngoko, bhinqani izinqe zengqondo yenu, ninobungcathu, niluthembe ngokugqibeleleyo ubabalo oluziswa kuni ekutyhilekeni kukaYesu Kristu;
1:14 ngokwabantwana bolulamo, ningamilisi okweenkanuko zangaphambili ekungazini kwenu;
1:15 nithi ke, ngokokwalowo ungcwele wanibizayo, nibe ngcwele nani ngokwenu kuyo yonke ihambo.
1:16 Ngenxa enokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Yibani ngcwele, ngokuba ndingcwele mna.
1:17 Kanjalo, ukuba nimnqula ngokoYihlo, lowo ugweba ngokowalowo umsebenzi, engakhethi buso, lihlaleni ixesha lokuphambukela kwenu apha nizoyikela;
1:18 nisazi nje ukuba anihlawulelwanga nikhululwe ngazinto zinakonakala, oozisilivere noozigolide, kuyo ihambo yenu engento, enayinikelwayo ngooyihlo.
1:19 Kwakungegazi elinqabileyo likaKristu, njengelemvana engenasiphako, engenabala;
1:20 owaziwayo ngenxa engaphambili okunene, ngaphambi kokusekwa kwehlabathi, kodwa wabonakalaliswa ekugqibeleni kwamaxesha la ngenxa yenu, nina nikholwayo ngaye kuThixo,
1:21 owamvusayo kwabafileyo, wamzukisa, ngokokuze ukholo lwenu nethemba lenu libe kuThixo.
1:22 Niyenze nyulu nje imiphefumlo yenu ngokuyilulamela inyaniso ngoMoya, kuse ekuthandeni abazalwana okungenaluhanahaniso, thandanani ngenyameko, ngokwasentliziyweni ehlambulukileyo;
1:23 nizelwe nje ngokutsha, kungengokwasembewini enokonakala, kungokwasembewini engenakonakala, ngelizwi likaThixo eliphilileyo, elihleliyo ngonaphakade.
1:24 Ngenxa enokuba Yonke inyama injengengca, Nabo bonke ubuqaqawuli bomntu bunjengentyantyambo yengca. Ingca iyoma, ivuthuluke nentyantyambo yayo;
1:25 Ke lona ilizwi leNkosi lihleli ngonaphakade. Elo ke leli lizwi lashunyayelwayo kuni ngeendaba ezilungileyo.
2:1 Ngoko, nilulahlile nje lonke ulunya, nayo yonke inkohliso, nokuhanahanisa, nomona, nako konke ukuthetha okubi, walangazeleleni,
2:2 ngokweentsana ezisandula ukuzalwa, amasi angawelizwi, angenankohliso, ukuze nikhule ngawo;
2:3 ukuba okunene nikuvile, ukuba iNkosi inobubele.
2:4 Nisiza nje kuyo, ililitye eliphilileyo, licekisiwe okunene ngabantu, kodwa linyuliwe nguThixo, linqabile:
2:5 nani ngokwenu, njengamatye aphilileyo, yakhekani nibe yindlu eyiyeyomoya, isibingeleli esingcwele sokunyusa imibingelelo eyiyeyomoya, eyamkeleka kakuhle kuye uThixo ngoYesu Kristu.
2:6 Kungoko ikhoyo nokubakho esibhalweni indawo ethi, Yabona, ndibeka eZiyon ilitye lembombo, elinyuliweyo, elinqabileyo; Lowo ukholwayo kuye akayi kukha adaniswe.
2:7 Kuni ngoko bakholwayo, liyimbeko; ke kwabangevayo, Ilitye abalicekisayo abakhi, Lelona laba yintloko yembombo,
2:8 Ilitye ke lokuwisa, iliwa ke lokukhubekisa, kwabo bakhubekayo, bengaliva ilizwi; into ke leyo abamiselwe nokumiselwa yona.
2:9 Ke nina nisisizukulwana esinyuliweyo, isibingeleli esibukumkani, uhlanga olungcwele, abantu abayinqobo, ukuze nivakalise isidima salowo wanibizayo ukuba niphume ebumnyameni, ningene ekukhanyeni kwakhe okungummangaliso;
2:10 enanifudula ningebantu, ke ngoku ningabantu bakaThixo; enaningenzelwanga nceba, ke ngoku nenzelwe inceba.
2:11 Zintanda, ndiyanivuselela njengabaphambukeli nabasemzini, ukuba nikhumke ezinkanukweni ezizezenyama, zona ziwuphumele umkhosi umphefumlo.
2:12 Ihambo yenu mayibe ntle phakathi kweentlanga; ukuze kulo nto bathetha okubi ngani, ngathi ningabenzi bokubi, bathi ngokubona imisebenzi yenu emihle, bamzukise uThixo ngomhla wokuvelelwa.
2:13 Wuthobeleni ngoko wonke ummiso ongowomntu, ngenxa yayo iNkosi; nokuba ngukumkani, njengowongamileyo;
2:14 nokuba ngabalawuli, njengabathunyiweyo nguye, ukuze baphindezele okunene kubenzi bokubi, badumise abenzi bokulungileyo.
2:15 Ngokuba ukuthanda kukaThixo kukuba nithi, ngokwenza okulungileyo, nibethe ithi cwaka intswela-kwazi yabantu abaziintsweli-kuqonda;
2:16 nithi ningabakhululekileyo nje, ningabi ngabayenza inkululeko ibe sisigqubuthelo sobubi; nibe ngabakhonzi bakathixo.
2:17 Bekani abantu bonke. Thandani isizalwana. UThixo moyikeni. Ukumkani mbekeni.
2:18 Nina zicaka, bathobeleni ninako konke ukoyika abanikhonzisayo, ingabi ngabalungileyo nabathantamisayo bodwa, ibe kwanabagwenxa.
2:19 Kuba oku kuyabuleleka, ukuba umntu uthwala iintsizi, ngenxa yokumazi uThixo, eve ubunzima esoniwa.
2:20 Kuba kuya kuba ludumo luni na, ukuba ninyamezele nakuntlithwa nisona? Ke ukuba nithi, nisenza okulungileyo, nive ubunzima, nize ninyamezele, oko kuyabuleleka kuThixo.
2:21 Kuba nabizelwa oko; ngokuba noKristu weva ubunzima ngenxa yethu, esishiya nomzekelo, ukuze silandele emkhondweni wakhe:
2:22 ongenzanga sono, ekungafunyanwanga nkohliso emlonyeni wakhe;
2:23 obesithi, etshabhiswa, angaphindezeli atshabhise, athi esiva ubunzima, angaphindezeli asongele; ke ubeyekele kulowo ugwebayo ngokobulungisa;
2:24 owathi ngokwakhe, izono zethu wazithwala ngomzimba wakhe emthini, ukuze sithi, sifile ngakwizono, siphilele ebulungiseni; omivumbo yakhe naphiliswa ngayo.
2:25 Kuba beninjengezimvu zilahlekile, koko nisuke ngoku nabuyela kuye uMalusi noMveleli wemiphefumlo yenu.
3:1 Ngokunjalo, nina bafazi, wathobeleni awenu amadoda, ukuze kuthi, nokuba kukho kuwo angalivayo ilizwi, athi ngehambo yabafazi, lingekho ilizwi, azuzeke;
3:2 ebonela ihambo yenu enyulu, enoloyiko.
3:3 Ukuhomba kwenu makungabi kokwangaphandle, kokulukwa kweenwele, nokunxitywa kwegolide, nokwambathwa kweengubo;
3:4 makube kokomntu ofihlakeleyo wentliziyo, ovethe ukungonakali, umoya onobulali, ozolileyo, oxabiso likhulu emehlweni kaThixo.
3:5 Kuba babefudula besenjenjalo abafazi abangcwele, abo babemthembile uThixo, ukuhomba kwabo, bewathobele awabo amadoda;
3:6 njengokuba uSara wamlulamelayo uAbraham, embiza ngokuthi yinkosi; eningabantwana bakhe nina, nakuba nisenza okulungileyo, ningoyiki nto yethusayo.
3:7 Ngokunjalo, nina madoda, hlalani nabo ngokokwazi, nimbeka umfazi, njengesona sitya siethe-ethe, njengeendlalifa kunye nani zobabalo lobomi, ukuze imithandazo yenu ingathinteleki.
3:8 Elokugqiba, cingani nto-nye nonke, velanani, thandanani njengabazalwana, yibani nemfesane kakhulu, yibani nobubele.
3:9 Ningabuyekezi ububi ngobubi, nokutshabhisa ngokutshabhisa; kanye ke sikelelani, nisazi ukuba nabizelwa oku, ukuze niyidle ilifa intsikelelo.
3:10 Kuba Lowo unga angathanda ubomi, Ayibone imihla elungileyo, Makaluphezise ulwimi lwakhe ebubini, Nomlomo wakhe ungathethi inkohliso;
3:11 Makaphambuke ebubini, enze okulungileyo; Makafune uxolo, aluphuthume.
3:12 Ngokuba amehlo eNkosi aphezu kwamalungisa, Neendlebe zayo zisingisele esikhungweni sawo; Ke ubuso beNkosi buphezu kwabenza okubi.
3:13 Kananjalo ngubani na yena owonona, ukuba nithe naba ngabalandeli bokulungileyo?
3:14 Nokuba nithe neva ubunzima ngenxa yobulungisa, ninoyolo; musani ukoyika ngokoyikisa kwabo, ningakhathazeki nokukhathazeka.
3:15 INkosi ke uThixo yingcwaliseni ezintliziyweni zenu, nihlale ke nikulungele ukuziphendulela kumntu wonke obuzayo kuni ilizwi, ngalo ithemba elingaphakathi kwenu, ninobulali noloyiko;
3:16 ninesazela esilungileyo, ukuze kuloo nto banithethela okubi, ngathi ningabenzi bokubi, badane abo bayigxekayo ihambo yenu elungileyo kuKristu.
3:17 Ukuba ke kungaba kukuthanda kukaThixo ukuba nive ubunzima, okona kunilungeleyo kukubuva nisenza okulungileyo, kunokubuva nisenza okubi.
3:18 Ngokuba noKristu wabuva kwakanye ubunzima ngenxa yezono, ilungisa lisiva ubunzima ngenxa yabangemalungisa, ukuze asisondeze kuye uThixo; ebulewe okunene esenyameni, kodwa edliswe ubomi ekuwo umoya.
3:19 Awathi ekuwo, waya washumayela koomoya abasekukhonkxweni,
3:20 ababefudula bengeva, xenikweni ukuzeka kade umsindo kukaThixo kwakulindile ngemihla kaNowa, kwakubon ukuba kulungiswa umkhombe, ekwasindiselwa kuwo imiphefumlo embalwa, oko kukuthi esibhozo, ngamanzi.
3:21 Olusisindisayo ngawo nathi ngoku ubhaptizo ngokomfuziselo; olungekuko ukulahla ubunyhukunyhuku benyama; olukukubuzisa kuThixo kwesazela esilungileyo, ngokuvuka kukaYesu Kristu;
3:22 osekunene kukaThixo, eye emazulwini, kwakubon ukuba kuthotyelwe phantsi kwakhe izithunywa zezulu, noomagunya, namandla.
4:1 Ekubeni ngoko uKristu eve ubunzima ngenxa yethu esenyameni, xhobani nani kwaloo ngcingane; ngokuba lowo uve ubunzima esenyameni, ukhunyulwe ekoneni;
4:2 ukuze ixesha eliseleyo enyameni ningabi saliphilela ezinkanukweni zabantu, niliphilele ekuthandeni kukaThixo.
4:3 Kuba lisanele ixesha elidluleyo lokuphila kwethu, esasisenza ukuthanda kweentlanga, sasihamba nje eburheletyweni, ezinkanukweni, ekutshisweni yiwayini, ezindywaleni, emithayini, nasekukhonzeni izithixo, okungekhona esikweni;
4:4 abathe nqa ngako ukuba ningabaleki kunye nabo, ukuya kwakuwo loo melelo wokuzibhubhisa, benyelisa;
4:5 abaya kuphendula kulowo ulungele ukugweba abaphilileyo nabafileyo.
4:6 Kuba ngenxa yoku zashunyayelwa iindaba ezilungileyo nakwabafileyo, ukuze bagwetywe okunene ngokwabantu besenyameni, kodwa badle ubomi ngokukaThixo, bekuwo umoya.
4:7 Ke kaloku ukuphela kwezinto zonke kusondele. Yibani nesidima ngoko, nibe nobungcathu, ukuba nithandaze.
4:8 Ngaphezu kweento zonke ke, yibani nothandano olunyamekileyo, ngokuba uthando luya kugubungela inkitha yezono.
4:9 Bukanani, ningenakukrokra.
4:10 Yithini elowo, njengoko wasamkelayo isipho sokubabalwa, nilungiselelane ngaso, njengamagosa amahle obabalo ngobabalo lukaThixo.
4:11 Ukuba umntu uyathetha, makathethe ngokwezihlabo zikaThixo; ukuba umntu uyalungiselela, makalungiselele ngokwasekomeleleni akuphiwa nguThixo, ukuze ezintweni zonke azukiswe uThixo ngoYesu Kristu, elulolwakhe uzuko namandla, kuse emaphakadeni asemaphakadeni. Amen.
4:12 Zintanda, musani ukuwuthela nqa umlilo okhoyo phakathi kwenu wokunilinga, ngathi nihlelwa yinto yokuthelwa nqa.
4:13 Yithini, njengoko ningamadlelane ngeentlungu zikaKristu, nivuye; ukuze, nasekutyhilekeni kobuqaqawuli bakhe, nivuye nigcoba.
4:14 Ukuba niyangcikivwa ngenxa yegama likaKristu, ninoyolo; ngokuba uMoya wozuko nokaThixo uphumle phezu kwenu; ngokukokwabo okunene uyanyeliswa, kodwa ngokukokwenu uyazukiswa.
4:15 Makungabikho ke bani kuni uva ubunzima ngokombulali, nangokwesela, nangokomenzi wobubi, nangokovelela izinto angatheni nazo.
4:16 Ukuba ke ubani uva ubunzima ngokuba engumKristu, makangadani; makamzukise ke uThixo ngaloo ndawo.
4:17 Ngokuba lixesha lokuba ugwebo luqale ngendlu kaThixo. Ukuba ke luqala ngathi, koba yintoni na ukuphela kwabo bangazivayo iindaba ezilungileyo zikaThixo?
4:18 Kanjalo ukuba nelungisa eli lisindiswa ngenkankulu, ongahloneli Thixo nongumoni woba phi na?
4:19 Ngoko ke abo babuvayo ubunzima ngokokuthanda kukaThixo, mabayiyaleze kuye imiphefumlo yabo, enguMdali othembekileyo ekwenzeni okulungileyo.
5:1 Amadoda amakhulu la aphakathi kwenu ndiyawavuselela, ndikwayindoda enkulu kunye nawo, nengqina leentlungu zikaKristu, nedlelane nawo ngobuqaqawuli obuza kutyhileka.
5:2 Waluseni umhlambi kaThixo ophakathi kwenu, niwuvelela, kungengakunyanzelwa, makube ngokokuzithandela; kungengenxa yenzuzo embi, makube ngokuthumekelela;
5:3 kungabi njengabazigagamelayo izahlulo zawo, yibani yimizekelo kumhlambi.
5:4 Nothi, akubonakala uMalusi oyintloko, nisifumane isithsaba salo uzuko esingabuniyo.
5:5 Ngokunjalo, nina manci, wathobeleni amadoda amakhulu. Thobelanani nonke ke, ninxibe ukuthobeka kwentliziyo; ngokuba uThixo uyabachasa abanekratshi, abababale ke abazithobileyo.
5:6 Zithobeni ngoko ngaphantsi kwesandla esinamandla sikaThixo, ukuze aniphakamise ngexesha elifanelekileyo.

5:8 Yibani nobungcathu, phaphani; ngokuba ummangaleli wenu, uMtyholi, uhamba njengengonyama egqumayo, efuna ubani angamginyayo;
5:9 mchaseni lowo, nizimasekile elukholweni, nisazi ukuba kwaezo ntlungu ziyenzeka kubo abazalwana benu abasehlabathini.
5:10 Ke kaloku uThixo walo lonke ubabalo, owasibizelayo eluzukweni lwakhe olungunaphakade, sikuKristu Yesu, wanga angathi ngokwakhe, nakuba nive ubunzima umzuzwana, anilungise nigqibelele, anizimase, anomeleze, anisekele.

Ngowama-2010, bekunabafundi abazizigidi ezili-12.3, abahlohli abangama-386 kwakunye nezikolo ezimalunga nama-48,000 (ubuncinane abahlohli abasi-8 kwisikolo ngasinye) - kubandakanaya nezikolo ezingama-390 zabaneemfuno ezikhethekeleyo kwakunye nezikolo zabucala ezili-1000 ezibhalisiweyo. Ngokwesiko, izikolo zamabanga asezantsi ziquka iBanga 1 ukuya kwele-7 ze ezamabanga aphakamileyo zithathe iBanga 8 ukuya kwele-12. Ezi zikolo ziyandiswa ngokutha kufakelwe ibanga 0 nele-13 ngokokuthanda kwesikolo eso.
Ukufunda esikolweni kuthatha iminyaka eli-13 - okanye amabanga - nangona unyaka wokuqala wemfundo, iBanga R okanye "lolwamkelo esikolweni", neminyaka emithathu yokugqibela, iBhanga 10, 11 nele-12 okanye "iMetriki" akanyanzelekanga. Iziklo zamabanga asezantsi ezininzi ziyabonelela ngeBanga R, nangona lisenokwenziwa epriskuli.

Walter Benson Rubusana
Kubutsha bakhe[tshintsha | edit source]
Mnandi kwisithili saseSomerset East eyayifudula ibizwa ngokuba yikoloni. Utata wakhe wayeliphakathi kwibhotwe lenkosi, uSandile Ngqika. Ngexesha lokuzalwa kwakhe uRubusana kungexesha lokoyiswa komkhosi wamaXhosa nokuchithakala kwesiKumkani samaXhosa kwakunye nokushokoxeka kwemali kwisizwe samaXhosa. Le mikhosi yohlulwa kwenye yemfazwe ezikrakra zemihlaba neyayanyaniswa naleyo kuthiwa yi”Second Hottentot Rebellion”. Akuba ewaphumelele amabanga aphantsi, uRubusana wangena eLovedale, isikolo seemishinari yeFree Church of Scotland neme kumathambeka okanye udonga lomlambo iTyhume. Phantsi koqeqesho lukaGqirha James Stewart, uye wafundela isatifiketi sobutitshala nalapho wathi ngonyaka ka-1878 waphumelela iimviwo zokuphela konyaka emagqabini. Endaweni yokuba aphumele ngaphandle ayekuhlohla, waye wakhetha ukuphinda ahlale kwalapha eLovedale enze izifundo zakhe zobufundisi ngokukhokelwa nguGqirha Stewart kunye nomfundisi uAndrew Smith.
Ubomi bakhe njengomsebenzi[tshintsha | edit source]
Ngonyaka ka-1880 uRubusana wayifulathela iLovedale, wathabatha isithuba sobutitshala kwisitishi semishinari sasePiltoni, nalapho aphinde wasebenza njengomfundisi oncedisayo. Kukweli thuba ke apho wathi wazimanya ngeqhina lomtshato noDeena Nzanzana, unkosikazi wakhe wokuqala. Esi sibini sathi salizwa ngabantwana abangamantombazana abahlanu kwakunye nenkwenkwe enye. Uye waxelenga apha ePiltoni ke de kwafika ixesha lokuthanjiswa kwakhe njengomphathi weCongregational Church ngonyaka ka-1884. Eli ke ikwalixesha apho waye wathunyelwa eMonti, nekulapho wayeza kuchitha khona ubomi bakhe bonke. Lo kaRubusana wayelitsha-ntliziyo lezopolitiko kwiminyaka yoo-1900. Ngaphandle kokugqibelela kwakhe, lo kaRubusana nabo waye ncedisana nabo babe ngayiboni enye into ngaphaya kwenkqubo yenkulu-mbuso yamaBritani. Ngexesha lemfazwe yamabhulu namaNgesi, iAnglo- Boer War bonke bazijula ijacu benika inkxaso kumaBritani. URubusana kunye nabanye abaphathiswa bezonkolo bazila, bekwenza oku ngeenjongo zokunika uncedo kubasebenzi baseAfrika, ababhexeshi beekari, iintlola kwakunye nentlaninge yabantu; ukufaka isandla khona ukuze baxhase uloyiso lwamaBritani, nolwathi lwafika ngo-1902. Ezinye zezinto ezibuchaphazeleyo ubomi bukaRubusana yinkolo yobuKrestu. Waye ngumfundisi ozinikeleyo webandla leCongregational Church kwaye uthabathe inxaxheba kwiirhamente zalo nasekuhambiseni iindaba ezilungileyo ebantwini base-Afrika. Uguqulele imibhalo emininzi yeli bhunga likhankanywe apha ngasentla, ekwalilo nelungu leNative Education Association neyayikhokelwe ngu-Elijah Makiwane.
Njengombhali owaziwayo kulwimi lwesiXhosa, uRubusana waye watyunjwa ukuba ahlale kwiKomiti yeXhosa Bible Revision, neyayityunjelwe ukugqibelelisa umsebenzi wokuguqula, komiti leyo yayikhokelwe nguTiyo Soga ngeye-1850. Yena ke wayengumhloli womsebenzi wale komiti nowathi wapapashwa eBritane ngexesha wayekhaphe iKumkani yabaThembu uDalindyebo kuthweso-sitsaba sikaKing Edward VII ngo-1904. Ngexesha eseLondon wapapasha incwadi yakhe yokuqala ethi Zemk’Inkomo Magwalandini, isicengcelezo semibongo yesiNtu, efundisa ngemibhalo yobuKristu nembali yenkonzo. Njengenye yeengqokelela zokuqala zemibongo yezithethe zesiNtu, le ncwadi inembali engacingelekanga nequlathe nexabiso loko kubhaliweyo.
UZemk’Inkomo Magwalandini usisibonelo sezinto ezimbini, malunga nendlela yokucinga yezepolitiki yalo kaRubusana. Wayengumntu wenkolo yezimini, ozinikeleyo, nto leyo ibibonakaliswa kukuzinikela kwakhe kubuKrestu nakwimfundo yaseNtshona, ngaxesha-nye eyiqonda into yokubaluleka kwezithethe nokuxabiseka kwazo kubantu baseAfrika. Ekupheleni kwenkulungwane ye-1900 ukuya ku-1910, uRubusana wayesele esaziwa jikelele njengomnye weenkokheli eziphambili kwezopolitiko eMzantsi Afrika. Kwinxalenye yamaAfrika, ebengowesibini emva koJohn T Jabavu ngokokukhula njengombhali. Ngexesha lo kaJabavu ahlehlayo ngenkxaso yakhe kwi-South African Native Convention, neyayibanjelwe eBloemfontein ngo-1909. Kule ngqungquthela kwazenzekela ukuba uRubusana atyunjwe njengoMongameli wayo. Ngexesha abambe esi sikhundla wakhokela iqela elalithunyelwe eLondon kweyeSilimela kwango-1909 lowo.

1:2 Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Aba bantu bathi, Asikabi lixesha lokuba kuziwe, asikabi lixesha lokuba yakhiwe indlu kaYehova.
1:3 Kwafika ke ilizwi likaYehova ngoHagayi umprofeti, lisithi,
1:4 Lixesha na kuni nina, lokuba nihlale ezindlwini zenu zalekiwe, ibe le ndlu yam yona ilinxuwa?
1:5 Kaloku ke, utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Zigqaleni iindlela zenu.
1:6 Nahlwayela kakhulu, ningenise kancinane; niyadla, ningahluthi; nisela, ninganeli kukusela; nambatha, ningevi ntsitho; noziqeshisayo uziqeshisela ukuba agalele engxoweni enezikroba.
1:7 Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Iindlela zenu zigqaleni.
1:8 Nyukani niye kweleentaba, nize nemithi, niyakhe indlu le; ndokholiswa ke yiyo, ndizizukise; utsho uYehova.
1:9 Nalindela into eninzi, nantso isuke yaba yinto encinane; nithe nakuza nayo ekhaya, ndayiphephetha. Ngani ke? utsho uYehova wemikhosi; ngenxa yendlu yam, yona le ilinxuwa, nibe nina elowo ebalekela endlwini yakhe.
1:10 Ngenxa yoko, ngenxa yenu, izulu liyala nombethe, nomhlaba wala neendyebo zawo.
1:11 Ndabiza ukoma phezu kwelizwe, naphezu kweentaba, naphezu kwengqolowa, naphezu kwewayini entsha, naphezu kweoli, naphezu kwezinto zonke eziphuma emhlabeni, naphezu kwabantu, naphezu kweenkomo, naphezu kokuxelenga konke kwezandla.
1:12 Baliphulaphula ke ooZerubhabheli unyana kaShalatiyeli, noYoshuwa unyana kaYotsadaki, umbingeleli omkhulu, namasalela onke abantu, ilizwi likaYehova uThixo wabo, ngokwamazwi kaHagayi umprofeti, njengoko wayemthumile uYehova uThixo wabo; boyika abantu ebusweni bukaYehova.
1:13 Wakuthetha uHagayi umthunywa kaYehova ukuthunywa kwakhe nguYehova ebantwini, wathi, Ndinani, utsho uYehova.
1:14 UYehova wawuvuselela umoya kaZerubhabheli unyana kaShalatiyeli, ibamba lakwaYuda, nomoya kaYoshuwa unyana kaYotsadaki, umbingeleli omkhulu, nomoya wamasalela onke abantu. Beza ke, bawenza umsebenzi endlwini kaYehova wemikhosi, uThixo wabo,
1:15 ngosuku lwamashumi omabini anesine lwenyanga yesithandathu, ngomnyaka wesibini kakumkani uDariyo.
2:1 Ngenyanga yesixhenxe, ngosuku lwamashumi amabini analunye enyangeni leyo, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova ngoHagayi umprofeti, lisithi,
2:2 Khawuthethe kuZerubhabheli unyana kaShalatiyeli, ibamba lakwaYuda, nakuYoshuwa unyana kaYotsadaki, umbingeleli omkhulu, nakumasalela abantu, uthi,
2:3 Ngubani na kuni apha oseleyo, owayibonayo le ndlu isesebuqaqawulini bayo bokuqala? Niyibona iyintoni na ke ngoku? Ayinjengento engento na emehlweni enu?
2:4 Noko ke ngoku yomelela, Zerubhabheli, utsho uYehova; womelele, Yoshuwa nyana kaYotsadaki, mbingeleli mkhulu; nomelele, nonke bantu belizwe, utsho uYehova, nisebenze; ngokuba ndinani, utsho uYehova wemikhosi.
2:5 Ilizwi elo, ndanqophisana nani ngalo ekuphumeni kwenu eYiputa, ndisaligcinile, noMoya wam umi phakathi kwenu; musani ukoyika.
2:6 Ngokuba uYehova wemikhosi utsho ukuthi, Kusaya kuba kanye, umzuzwana ke, ndinyikimise izulu, nehlabathi, nolwandle, nomhlaba owomileyo;
2:7 ndizinyikimise zonke iintlanga, zifike izinto ezinqwenelekayo zeentlanga zonke, ndiyizalise le ndlu ngobuqaqawuli; utsho uYehova wemikhosi.
2:8 Isilivere yeyam, igolide yeyam; utsho uYehova wemikhosi.
2:9 Buya kuba bukhulu ubuqaqawuli bamva bale ndlu, ngaphezu kobokuqala, utsho uYehova wemikhosi; kuyo ke le ndawo ndiya kunika uxolo; utsho uYehova wemikhosi.
2:10 Ngosuku lwamashumi omabini anesine lwenyanga yesithoba, ngomnyaka wesibini kaDariyo, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova ngoHagayi umprofeti, lisithi,
2:11 Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Khawubuze umyalelo kubabingeleli, uthi,
2:12 Yabonani, umntu ephethe inyama engcwele ngesondo lengubo yakhe, afike ngesondo lakhe esonkeni, nasentweni ephekiweyo, nasewayinini, naseolini, nasentweni nokuba yiyiphi edliwayo, yongcwaliseka na? Baphendula ababingeleli bathi, Hayi.
2:13 Wathi ke uHagayi, Ukuba uthe wafika oyinqambi ngenxa yomfi, kwezo zinto zonke, zoba ziinqambi na? Baphendula ababingeleli bathi, Zoba ziinqambi.
2:14 Waphendula uHagayi wathi, Banjalo ke aba bantu, lunjalo ke olu hlanga ebusweni bam; utsho uYehova; unjalo ke wonke umsebenzi wezandla zabo, nento abayisondezayo khona apho iyinqambi.
2:15 Kaloku ke khanigqale, nithabathele kule mini, nibhekise emva, kungekabekwa litye lityeni etempileni kaYehova;
2:16 nithabathele kwelo xesha, xa umntu ebefike esitheni esimilinganiso imashumi mabini, asuke afumane libe linye ishumi; xa ebefika emkhumbini wokukhongozela iwayini, eza kukha imilinganiso emashumi mahlanu, asuke afumane amashumi amabini.
2:17 Ndanibetha ngembabala, nangexoshomba, nangesichotho, kuyo yonke imisebenzi yezandla zenu; noko ke akubangakho namnye kuni ubuyela kum; utsho uYehova.
2:18 Khanigqale, nithabathele kule mini, nibhekise emva, nithabathele kusuku lwamashumi omabini anesine lwenyanga yesithoba kususela kuloo mini yokusekwa kwetempile kaYehova; gqalani ke.
2:19 Isekho yinina imbewu eqongeni? Hayi, akuxakathanga nto, kude kwesa kumdiliya, nomkhiwane, nomrharnate, nomnquma. Ndithabathele kule mini, ndiya kusikelela.
2:20 Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova ngokwesibini kuHagayi, ngosuku lwamashumi omabini anesine enyangeni leyo, lisithi,
2:21 Thetha kuZerubhabheli ibamba lakwaYuda, uthi, Ndiya kulinyikimisa izulu nehlabathi,
2:22 ndiyibhukuqe itrone yezikumkani, ndikutshabalalise ukomelela kwezikumkani zeentlanga; ndizibhukuqe iinqwelo zokulwa nabakhweli bazo, kuwe amahashe nabakhweli bawo; elowo awiswe likrele lowabo.
2:23 Ngaloo mini, utsho uYehova wemikhosi, ndiya kukuthabatha, Zerubhabheli nyana kaShalatiyeli, mkhonzi wam, utsho uYehova, ndikumise ngokomsesane wokutywina; kuba ndikunyule; utsho uYehova wemikhosi.
