Yesibili KubaseKhorinte 1:1-24
1 Mine Pawula, umphostoli waKhristu Jesu ngentsandvo yaNkulunkulu, ngikanye naThimothi+ umzalwane wetfu, ngibhalela libandla laNkulunkulu leliseKhorinte nabo bonkhe labangcwele labakulo lonkhe lase-Akhaya:+
2 Shengatsi ningemukela umusa lomkhulu kanye nekuthula lokuvela kuNkulunkulu longuBabe wetfu, naseNkhosini lenguJesu Khristu.
3 Akadvunyiswe Nkulunkulu, Babe weNkhosi yetfu Jesu Khristu,+ longuBabe wemusa,+ naNkulunkulu wayo yonkhe indvudvuto,+
4 losidvudvuta* kuko konkhe kuhlupheka*+ kwetfu, kuze ngendvudvuto lesiyemukela kuye* natsi sikwati kudvudvuta labanye+ kunobe ngukuphi kuhlupheka.+
5 Njengobe sihlupheka kakhulu ngenca yaKhristu,+ nendvudvuto lesiyitfola ngaye iyaphuphuma.
6 Ngako-ke nasihlupheka,* loko kungenjongo yekutsi kudvudvutwe nine futsi nisindziswe; nasidvudvutwa, loko kungenjongo yekutsi kudvudvutwe nine kuphindze kunisite nibeketelele kuhlupheka lokunjengekwetfu.
7 Sinetsemba mbamba, ngobe siyati kutsi njengobe nihlupheka njengatsi, nani nitawudvudvuteka njengatsi.+
8 Ngobe asifisi bazalwane kutsi ningati ngekuhlupheka lesahlangabetana nako esifundzeni sase-Asiya.+ Besicindzeteleke kakhulu, futsi besekungetulu kwemandla etfu, kangangekutsi besesingetsembi nekutsi sitawusindza.+
9 Ecinisweni, besesibona shengatsi sitfole sigwebo sekufa. Loku kwenteka kuze singatetsembi tsine, kodvwa setsembele kuNkulunkulu+ lovusa labafile.
10 Wasisindzisa engotini lenkhulu yekufa, futsi utasisindzisa; setsembele kuye kutsi utawuchubeka asisindzisa.+
11 Nani ningasisita ngekutsi nisincusele,+ kuze labanyenti basibongele kuNkulunkulu ngemusa lesiwutfola ngekuphendvulwa kwemithantazo leyentiwa bantfu labanyenti.+
12 Ngobe intfo lesitigabatisa ngayo naleyo nembeza wetfu losifakazela kuyo, kutsi kulelive sitiphetse ngebungcwele nangebucotfo lobuvela kuNkulunkulu, ikakhulukati nakini, hhayi ngekuhlakanipha kwenyama+ kodvwa ngemusa lomkhulu waNkulunkulu.
13 Ngobe asinibhaleli lutfo ngaphandle kwaloko lenitawukhona kukufundza* futsi nikucondze, ngetsemba nekutsi nitawuchubeka nikucondza kahle,*
14 njengobe ngelizinga lelitsite nani nibonile kutsi tsine sisizatfu sekutigabatisa kwenu, nekutsi nani nitawuba ngiso kitsi ngelilanga leNkhosi yetfu Jesu.
15 Ngenca yekutsi ngiyaciniseka, bengifisa kuta kini kucala kuze niphindze nijabule;*
16 ngobe bengifuna kunivakashela nangisaya eMasedoniya futsi nginibone nanangibuya khona, bese ningiphekeletela sigatjana nasengiya eJudiya.+
17 Ngesikhatsi ngifuna kwenta loku, angitsi angizange ngiyitsatsele phansi lendzaba? Ngihlela tintfo ngekuvumelana nenyama yami yini, kuze ngitsi “Yebo kunjalo,” bese ngiphindze ngitsi “Cha angeke”?
18 Kodvwa singetsembela kuNkulunkulu kutsi loko lesikusho kini akubi ngu-“yebo” kube kungu-“cha.”
19 Ngobe iNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu lenguJesu Khristu, lesashumayela ngayo kini, mine naSilvanosi* kanye naThimothi,+ ayizange ibe ngu-“yebo” kantsi ingu-“cha,” kodvwa “yebo” ube ngu-“yebo” ngayo.
20 Ngobe ngisho nobe tingakanani tetsembiso taNkulunkulu, setibe ngu-“yebo” ngayo.+ Ngako-ke, ngayo sekutsiwa “Amen” kuNkulunkulu,+ futsi loko kumenta akhatinyuliswe ngatsi.
21 Kodvwa nguNkulunkulu locinisekisa kutsi nine kanye natsi sibaKhristu futsi nguye losigcobile.+
22 Ubeke neluphawu lwakhe kitsi+ futsi ngemoya losetinhlitiyweni tetfu usinike sicinisekiso* saloko lokuseta.+
23 Nyalo ngibeka Nkulunkulu kutsi abe ngufakazi wami wekutsi bengingafuni kunivisa buhlungu kakhulu, ngiko bengisolo ngingeti eKhorinte.
24 Hhayi kutsi singemakhosi ekukholweni kwenu,+ kodvwa sitisebenti letikanye nani kute nijabule, ngobe kukholwa kwenu ngiko lokunenta nime nicine.
