YebeRoma 10:1-21
10 Bafowethu, engikufisa ngokusuka ehliziyweni nengirabhela uZimu ngakho ngebanga labo, kukuthi basindiswe.+
2 Ngombana ngiyabafakazela ukuthi bayamtjhisakalela uZimu+ kodwana ingasi ngokuvumelana nelwazi elinembileko.
3 Ngokungazi ukulunga kwakaZimu+ kodwana bafune ukuveza kwabo,+ azange bazithobe ekulungeni kwakaZimu.+
4 Ngombana uKrestu usiphetho somThetho+ bona nanyana ngubani okholwako abe nokulunga.+
5 UMosi watlola ngokulunga okuza ngomThetho athi: “Umuntu owenza izintwezi uzokuphila ngebanga lazo.”+
6 Kodwana ukulunga okumphumela wokukholwa kuthi: “Ungathomi uthi ehliziywenakho,+ ‘Ngubani ozokukhuphukela ezulwini?’+ Okutjho ukuthi, ayokwehlisa uKrestu
7 namkha ‘Ngubani ozokwehlela emgodini onganamkhawulo?’+ Okutjho ukuthi, avuse uKrestu kwabafileko.”
8 Kodwana uthini umTlolo? “Ilizwi liseduze nawe, lisemlonyenakho nehliziywenakho,”+ ‘okulilizwi’ lokukholwa, esilitjhumayelako.
9 Ngombana nawuvuma tjhatjhalazi ngomlomakho ukuthi uJesu uyiKosi,+ ukholwe ngehliziywakho ukuthi uZimu wamvusa kwabafileko, uzokusindiswa.
10 Ngehliziyo umuntu uyakholwa afumane ukulunga kodwana ngomlomo umuntu uvuma tjhatjhalazi+ afumane isindiso.
11 Umtlolo uthi: “Akakho obeka ukukholwa kwakhe kuye ozokudana.”+
12 Ngombana akunamehluko phakathi komJuda nomGirigi.+ KuneKosi yinye phezu kwabo boke, enothileko* kibo boke abayibizako.
13 Ngombana “woke umuntu obiza igama lakaJehova* uzokusindiswa.”+
14 Nanyana kunjalo, bazombiza njani loyo abangakakholwa kuye? Bazokukholwa njani kiloyo abangakezwa ngaye? Bazokuzwa njani nakungekho otjhumayelako?
15 Bazokutjhumayela njani bangakathunywa?+ Njengombana kutloliwe ukuthi: “Qala bona zihle kangangani iinyawo zalabo abamemezela iindaba ezimnandi zezinto ezihle!”+
16 Kodwana azange bazilalele boke iindaba ezimnandi. Ngombana u-Isaya uthi: “Jehova,* ngubani okholwe into ayizwe kithi?”*+
17 Nje-ke ukukholwa kulandela into ezwiweko.+ Bese lokho okuzwiweko kuza ngelizwi elimalungana noKrestu.
18 Kodwana ngiyabuza: Kghani babhalelwe kukuzwa? Awa, kuhlekuhle, “ubufakazi babo baphumela ephasini loke nomlayezwabo wafika emaphethelweni wephasi.”+
19 Kodwana ngiyabuza: Kghani u-Israyeli wabhalelwa kukwazi?+ Kokuthoma uMosi uthi: “Ngizonenza nibe nomona ngabantu abangasisitjhaba; ngizonenza nisilingeke nibe nenturhu ngesitjhaba esisidlhadlha.”+
20 Kodwana u-Isaya uba nesibindi khulu athi: “Ngafunyanwa ngilabo ebebangangifuni;+ ngaziwa ngilabo ebebangabuzi ngami.”+
21 Kodwana ngokuphathelene no-Israyeli uthi: “Ilanga loke ngilulela izandla zami esitjhabeni esingalaleliko nesinekani.”+
