13 Hlalani nitsandzana njengobe nibazalwane.+ 2 Ningakukhohlwa kwemukela tivakashi,*+ ngobe ngekwenta kanjalo labanye bangenisa tingilosi bangati.+ 3 Bakhumbuleni labo labasemajele*+ kube shengatsi nani niboshwe kanye nabo,+ nikhumbule nalabo labaphatfwa kabi, njengobe nani nikulomtimba.* 4 Umshado awuhlonishwe ngibo bonkhe bantfu, futsi awungangcoliswa,+ ngobe Nkulunkulu utawutehlulela tingwadla* netiphingi.+ 5 Indlela leniphila ngayo ayingabi yekutsandza imali,+ kodvwa yenetiswani tintfo leninato.+ Ngobe Nkulunkulu utsite: “Ngeke ngize ngikushiye, futsi ngeke ngize ngikulahle.”+ 6 Ngako singakhuluma ngesibindzi sitsi: “Jehova* ungumsiti wami; angeke ngesabe. Umuntfu angangentani nje?”+
7 Khumbulani labo labaniholako,+ labakhulume livi laNkulunkulu kini, futsi njengobe nicabangisisa ngemiphumela yekutiphatsa kwabo, lingisani kukholwa kwabo.+
8 Jesu Khristu akashintji, kusukela itolo, lamuhla naphakadze.
9 Ningadukiswa timfundziso letehlukahlukene naletingatiwa; ngobe kuncono kutsi inhlitiyo iciniswe ngemusa lomkhulu waNkulunkulu kunekutsi iciniswe ngalokudliwako,* lokungabazuzisi labo labakunakile.+
10 Tsine sineli-al’thare, kodvwa labo labenta umsebenti longcwele ethendeni bete ligunya lekudla kulo.+ 11 Ngobe imitimba yetilwane lebetinikelwa beyishiselwa ngephandle kwenkambu, futsi umphristi lophakeme bekatsatsa ingati yato ayiyise endzaweni lengcwele ibe ngumnikelo wesono.+ 12 Ngako naJesu wahlushwa ngephandle kwelisango lelidolobha+ kuze angcwelise bantfu ngengati yakhe.+ 13 Natsi-ke asiyeni kuye ngephandle kwenkambu, futsi setfwale lihlazo naye laletfwala,+ 14 ngobe lapha site lidolobha lelitawuhlala likhona, kodvwa ngekutimisela sifuna lelo lelitako.+ 15 Ngaye asihlale sinikela kuNkulunkulu umhlatjelo wekudvumisa,+ lokusitselo setindzebe tetfu,+ ngekutsi simemetele libito lakhe embikwebantfu.+ 16 Ngetulu kwaloko, ningakukhohlwa kwenta lokuhle nekupha labanye loko leninako,+ ngobe Nkulunkulu uyajabula ngeminikelo lenjalo.+
17 Balaleleni labo labaniholako+ futsi nititfobe kubo,+ ngobe bahlale baninakekela njengobe batawulandzisa,+ kuze loku bakwente ngekujabula hhayi ngekukhonona, ngobe loko bekutanilimata.
18 Chubekani nisithantazela, ngobe siyetsemba kutsi sinanembeza lomsulwa,* njengobe sifisa kutiphatsa ngekwetsembeka kuto tonkhe tintfo.+ 19 Nginikhutsata kakhulu kutsi ningithantazele kuze ngibuyele kini masinyane.
20 Shengatsi Nkulunkulu wekuthula, lowamvusa ekufeni umelusi lomkhulu+ wetimvu, iNkhosi yetfu Jesu, inengati yesivumelwane saphakadze, 21 anganinika tonkhe tintfo letinhle kuze nente intsandvo yakhe, futsi ngaJesu Khristu asisite kutsi sente lokumjabulisako; ludvumo aluye kuye phakadze naphakadze. Amen.
22 Ngiyanincenga bazalwane kutsi nisilalelisise lesikhutsato, ngobe nginibhalele incwadzi lemfisha. 23 Ngifuna nati kutsi umzalwane wetfu Thimothi sewukhululiwe. Nangabe efika masinyane, ngitawuta naye sitonibona.
24 Vuselani bonkhe labaniholako kanye nabo bonkhe labangcwele. NebaseTaliyane+ bayanivusela.
25 Umusa lomkhulu waNkulunkulu awube nani nonkhe.
