Leya KumaHebheru 12:1-29
12 Ngako-ke ngenca yekutsi situngeletwe sicumbi* lesikhulu kangaka sabofakazi, asilahle konkhe lokusindzako nesono lesisigigela kamelula,+ siwugijime ngekucinisela umncintiswano losembikwetfu+
2 njengobe sinakisise Jesu, longuMmeleli Loyinhloko wekukholwa kwetfu neMphelelisi wako.+ Ngobe ngenca yenjabulo lebeyibekwe embikwakhe wabeketelela kufa elugodvweni,* wangalinaki lihlazo, futsi wahlala ngesekudla sesihlalo sebukhosi saNkulunkulu.+
3 Ngako cabangisisani ngaloyo lowabeketelela inkhulumo lephikisako yetoni+ lebeyilahla tona, kuze ningadzinwa bese niphelelwa ngemandla.+
4 Ekulweni kwenu nalesono, nisengakake namelana naso naze nafa.
5 Kodvwa seniwukhohlwe ngalokuphelele umyalo lenatjelwa wona nakukhulunywa nani njengemadvodzana kutsiwa: “Ndvodzana yami, ungasedzeleli sijeziso lesivela kuJehova,* ungapheli emandla nawukhalinyelwa nguye;
6 ngobe Jehova* uyabekhuta bantfu labatsandzako; ecinisweni, uyabajezisa bonkhe labemukela njengemadvodzana.”+
7 Kufanele nicinisele ngobe lena yindlela leniyalwa* ngayo. Nkulunkulu uniphatsa njengemadvodzana.+ Ikhona yini indvodzana babe wayo langayiyali?+
8 Kodvwa nangabe nonkhe ningazange nisitfole lesijeziso, benitawube anisiwo emadvodzana akhe, kepha benitawube ningemavezandlebe.
9 Ngetulu kwaloko, bobabe betfu balamhlabeni* bebasijezisa, futsi besibahlonipha. Akukafaneli yini sititfobe kakhulu kuBabe locondzisa kuphila kwetfu ngemoya wakhe longcwele kuze siphile?+
10 Bebasijezisa kwesikhashana kuye ngaloko lebebakubona kukahle, kodvwa yena usiyala kuze kusitakale tsine khona sitoba ngcwele njengaye.+
11 Kuliciniso kutsi kute sijeziso lesibonakala sijabulisa ngaleso sikhatsi, kodvwa sibuhlungu;* kepha ngemuva kwaloko, labo labaceceshwe ngiso batawutfola umvuzo wekuthula, lokuyimphilo lelungile.
12 Ngako-ke, cinisani tandla letibutsakatsaka nemadvolo lacegako,+
13 futsi nichubeke nicondzisa tindlela tetinyawo tenu,+ kuze lilunga lelichutako lingabese lichuta kakhulu, kepha liphiliswe.
14 Lwelani kuba nekuthula nabo bonkhe bantfu,+ nilwele nekuba ngcwele,*+ ngobe kute umuntfu longayibona iNkhosi nangabe angasingcwele.
15 Caphelisisani kutsi kube bete lowehluleka kutfola umusa lomkhulu waNkulunkulu, kuze kungaveli imphandze lenashevu letawubangela tinkinga, futsi kungabi khona labangcoliswa ngiyo;+
16 nibocaphela nekutsi emkhatsini wenu kungabi khona loyingwadla* nobe umuntfu longatitsatsi njengaletibalulekile tintfo letingcwele, njenga-Esawu lowalahla lilungelo lakhe lebutibulo kuze nje atfole sidlo sinye.+
17 Ngobe niyati kutsi ekugcineni ngesikhatsi sekafuna kutfola sibusiso, waliwa, futsi ngisho nobe beketama kushintja lesincumo* ngetinyembeti,+ akazange akhone.*
18 Aniketi entfweni leningayitsintsa,+ leyokhelwe ngemlilo,+ efini lelimnyama, ebumnyameni lobukhulu, esivunguvungwini,+
19 ekukhaleni kwelicilongo,+ nasevini lebelikhuluma,+ lokwatsi bantfu nabaliva bacela kutsi kungasakhulunywa lutfo kubo.+
20 Ngobe bewumatima kubo umyalo lotsi: “Ngisho nesilwane lesitsintsa intsaba kufanele sigcotjwe ngematje.”+
21 Nalombono bewesabeka kakhulu kangangekutsi Mosi watsi: “Ngiyesaba futsi ngiyachachatela.”+
22 Kodvwa nine nite eNtsabeni iSiyoni+ nasedolobheni laNkulunkulu lophilako, lokuyiJerusalema yasezulwini,+ nite emashumini etinkhulungwane tetingilosi
23 letisemhlanganweni wato,+ ebandleni lematibulo labhaliswe emazulwini, kuNkulunkulu longuMehluleli wabo bonkhe,+ kulabalungile labaphila ngekuvumelana nemoya longcwele+ futsi labentiwe baphelela,+
24 kuJesu longumlamuli+ wesivumelwane lesisha,+ nasengatini lefafatiwe lekhuluma kancono kunengati ya-Abela.+
25 Cinisekani kutsi niyamlalela* loyo lokhulumako. Ngobe nangabe bangaphunyulanga labo labangazange bamlalele loyo lobekabanika secwayiso emhlabeni, kakhulu kangakanani-ke ngatsi, ngeke siphunyule nangabe simfulatsela loyo lokhuluma asemazulwini.+
26 Ngaleso sikhatsi livi lakhe lanyakatisa umhlaba,+ kepha nyalo wetsembisile watsi: “Ngitawuphindze nginyakatise, hhayi umhlaba kuphela kodvwa nelizulu.”+
27 Emavi latsi “ngitawuphindze” aveta kususwa kwetintfo letinyakatiswako, lokutintfo letentiwe ngulotsite, kuze kutsi tintfo letingeke tinyakatiswe tihlale tikhona.
28 Ngako-ke njengobe sitawutfola uMbuso longeke unyakatiswe, asichubeke semukela umusa lomkhulu waNkulunkulu lesingenta ngawo umsebenti wakhe longcwele ngendlela leyemukelekako, ngekumesaba nangekumhlonipha.
29 Ngobe Nkulunkulu wetfu ungumlilo locotfulako.+
