Ndebele - I Thessalonians - 5

5:1  Kodwa ngezikhathi langemizuzu, bazalwane, kalisweli ukuthi libhalelwe,

5:2  ngoba lina uqobo liyazi kuhle kakhulu ukuthi usuku lweNkosi luzafika ngokunjalo njengesela ebusuku;

5:3  ngoba nxa besithi: Ukuthula lokuhlala kuhle, khona ukubhujiswa okujumayo kuzabehlela, njengomhelo kowesifazana okhulelweyo, njalo kabasoze baphunyuke.

5:4  Kodwa lina, bazalwane, kalikho emnyameni, ukuze lolosuku luliphuthume njengesela;

5:5  lina lonke lingabantwana bokukhanya labantwana bemini; kasisibo abobusuku loba abobumnyama;

5:6  ngakho-ke asingalali njengabanye labo, kodwa asilinde siqonde.

5:7  Ngoba abalalayo balala ebusuku; labadakwayo badakwa ebusuku.

5:8  Kodwa thina esingabemini, asiqonde, sifake isivikelo sesifuba sokholo lothando, lethemba losindiso libe likhowa,

5:9  ngoba uNkulunkulu kasimiselanga ulaka, kodwa ukuzuza usindiso ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu,

5:10  owasifelayo, ukuze loba siphapheme loba silele, siphile kanye laye.

5:11  Ngakho khuthazanani, lakhane, njengoba lani likwenza.

5:12  Kodwa siyalincenga, bazalwane, ukuthi libazi labo abasebenza nzima phakathi kwenu, labaliphathayo eNkosini, labalelulekayo,

5:13  njalo libahlonipha kakhulu okwedlula amalawulo ethandweni ngenxa yomsebenzi wabo. Hlalisanani ngokuthula.

5:14  Kodwa siyalikhuthaza, bazalwane, yelulekani abangelamthetho, liduduze abadanileyo, lisekele ababuthakathaka, libekezelele bonke.

5:15  Qaphelani ukuthi kungabi khona ophindisela omunye okubi ngokubi; kodwa dingisisani ngesikhathi sonke okuhle lomunye komunye lakibo bonke.

5:16  Thokozani njalonjalo;

5:17  khulekani lingaphezi;

5:18  bongani kukho konke; ngoba lokhu kuyintando kaNkulunkulu kuKristu Jesu ngani.

5:19  Lingamcitshi uMoya;

5:20  lingadeleli iziprofetho;

5:21  hlolisisani konke; libambelele kokuhle;

5:22  dedani kukho konke ukubonakala kobubi.

5:23  Kungathi uNkulunkulu wokuthula uqobo angalenza libe ngcwele ngokupheleleyo; njalo kungathi umoya wenu wonke lomphefumulo lomzimba kungalondolozwa kungasoleki ekufikeni kweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.

5:24  Uthembekile yena olibizayo; laye ozakwenza lokhu.

5:25  Bazalwane, sikhulekeleni.

5:26  Bingelelani abazalwane bonke ngokwanga okungcwele.

5:27  Ngiyalifungisa ngeNkosi, ukuthi lincwadi ifundwe kubo bonke abazalwane abangcwele.

5:28  Umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu kawube lani. Ameni.
