Ndebele - I Timothy - 2

2:1  Ngakho kuqala kukho konke ngikhuthaza ukuthi ukunxusa, imikhuleko, ukulabhela, ukubonga kwenzelwe abantu bonke;

2:2  amakhosi, labo bonke abayiziphathamandla, ukuze sichithe impilo elokuthula lepholileyo kukho konke ukukhonza uNkulunkulu lenhlonipho;

2:3  ngoba lokhu kuhle kuyemukeleka phambi kukaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu,

2:4  ofuna ukuthi bonke abantu basindiswe njalo beze elwazini lweqiniso.

2:5  Ngoba munye uNkulunkulu, njalo munye umlamuli phakathi kukaNkulunkulu labantu, umuntu uKristu Jesu,

2:6  owazinikela yena ukuba lihlawulo labo bonke, ubufakazi ngezikhathi ezifaneleyo,

2:7  mina engamiselwa khona ukuba ngumtshumayeli lomphostoli (ngikhuluma iqiniso kuKristu, kangiqambi manga) umfundisi wabezizwe ekholweni leqinisweni.

2:8  Ngakho ngifisa ukuthi amadoda akhuleke kuyo yonke indawo, ephakamisa izandla ezingcwele, engelalaka lokuxabana.

2:9  Ngokunjalo labesifazana bazicecise ngezigqoko ezifaneleyo, lenhlonipho lokuqonda, kungabi ngenwele ezelukiweyo, kumbe igolide, kumbe amapharele*, kumbe izembatho ezidulayo,

2:10  kodwa, okufanele abesifazana abathi bakhonza uNkulunkulu, ngemisebenzi emihle.

2:11  Owesifazana kafunde ngokuthula ekuzithobeni konke.

2:12  Kodwa kangivumeli owesifazana ukuthi afundise, kumbe abe lamandla phezu kowesilisa, kodwa abe ekuthuleni.

2:13  Ngoba uAdamu wabunjwa kuqala, emva kwalokho uEva;

2:14  futhi uAdamu kakhohliswanga, kodwa owesifazana esekhohlisiwe waba sesiphambekweni,

2:15  kodwa uzasindiswa ngokuzala abantwana, uba behlala ekholweni lethandweni lebungcweleni kanye lokuqonda.
