2 Kwekucala, ngikhutsata kutsi kuncusa, imithantazo, ticelo kanye nekubonga kwentelwe tonkhe tinhlobo tebantfu,
2 emakhosi nabo bonkhe labasetikhundleni letiphakeme,*+ kuze sichubeke siphila ngekuthula, setsembeke kuNkulunkulu futsi sitimisele kuko konkhe.+
3 Loku kuhle futsi kuyemukeleka kuNkulunkulu longuMsindzisi wetfu,+
4 intsandvo yakhe lekutsi tonkhe tinhlobo tebantfu tisindziswe,+ titfole nelwati lolungulonalona lweliciniso.
5 Ngobe kunaNkulunkulu munye,+ kantsi munye nemlamuli+ emkhatsini waNkulunkulu nebantfu,+ lokunguKhristu Jesu,+
6 lowatinikela waba yinhlawulo* yabo bonkhe,*+ futsi loku kufanele kufakazwe ngako ngesikhatsi lesifanele.
7 Ngobe ngenca yalobufakazi+ ngabekwa kutsi ngibe ngumshumayeli nemphostoli,+ futsi ngikhuluma liciniso hhayi emanga, ngifundzisa tive+ mayelana nekukholwa neliciniso.
8 Ngako-ke ngifisa kutsi kuyo yonkhe indzawo labadvuna bachubeke bangcwele, futsi baphakamise tandla tabo bathantaze,+ hhayi ngelulaka+ nekuphikisana.+
9 Ngendlela lefanako, labasikati kufanele batihlobise ngetimphahla letilungiswe kahle,* ngekuzitsa nangekuvutfwa,* hhayi ngetitayela temichino, ngeligolide, ngematje laligugu nobe ngetimphahla letidule kakhulu,+
10 kodvwa abatihlobise ngemisebenti lemihle, ngendlela lefanele labasikati labatsi bahlonipha Nkulunkulu.+
11 Lomsikati akabindze* nakafundziswa futsi atitfobe ngalokugcwele.+
12 Angivumi kutsi afundzise nobe abe neligunya endvodzeni, kodvwa kufanele abindze.*+
13 Ngobe Adamu wadalwa kucala, kwaba ngukhona kudalwa Eva.+
14 Kantsi futsi Adamu akazange ayengwe, kodvwa ngumfati lowayengwa+ wase uba soni.
15 Ngako-ke labasikati batawuphepha ngekutfola bantfwana,+ yingci nje nabachubeka ekukholweni, elutsandvweni, ekubeni ngcwele nasekuvutfweni.*+
