Ndebele - James - 4

4:1  Zivela ngaphi izimpi lokulwa phakathi kwenu? Kakuveli lapha yini, enkanukweni zenu ezilwayo ezithweni zenu?

4:2  Liyafisa, kodwa kalilalutho; liyabulala njalo lilomhawu, kodwa lingeke lazuza; liyalwa futhi lenza impi, kodwa kalilalutho, ngoba kaliceli;

4:3  liyacela njalo kalemukeli, ngoba licela kubi, ukuze likuchithele enkanukweni zenu.

4:4  Zifebe lezifebekazi, kalazi yini ukuthi uthando lomhlaba luyibutha kuNkulunkulu? Ngakho loba ngubani othanda ukuba ngumngane womhlaba, wenziwa isitha sikaNkulunkulu.

4:5  Kumbe licabanga yini ukuthi umbhalo utsho ize: Umoya ohlala kithi ufisela kumona?

4:6  Kodwa uyanika umusa omkhulu; ngakho uthi: UNkulunkulu umelana labazigqajayo, kodwa abathobekileyo uyabapha umusa.

4:7  Ngakho zehliseleni kuNkulunkulu, melanani lodiyabhola, njalo uzalibalekela.

4:8  Sondelani kuNkulunkulu, laye uzasondela kini; gezani izandla, zoni, njalo lihlanze izinhliziyo, lina banhliziyombili.

4:9  Danani lilile likhale; ukuhleka kwenu kakuphendulwe ukulila, lentokozo ukudana.

4:10  Zithobeni phambi kweNkosi, njalo izaliphakamisa.

4:11  Lingahlebani, bazalwane. Lowo ohleba umzalwane, amehlulele umzalwane wakhe, uhleba umlayo, ehlulele umlayo; kodwa uba usehlulela umlayo, kawusumenzi womlayo, kodwa umahluleli.

4:12  Munye ummisumlayo, olamandla okusindisa lokubhubhisa; wena ungubani owahlulela omunye?

4:13  Minani-ke lina elithi: Lamuhla loba kusasa sizakuya emzini othile, sihlale khona umnyaka owodwa sithengiselane sizuze;

4:14  elingakwaziyo okwakusasa. Ngoba iyini impilo yenu? Ngoba iyinkungu ebonakala okwesikhatshana, emva kwalokho ibisinyamalala;

4:15  endaweni yalokho ngabe lithi: Uba iNkosi ivuma, njalo sizaphila, sibe sesisenza lokhu kumbe lokhuyana.

4:16  Kodwa khathesi liyazincoma ekuzigqajeni kwenu; konke ukuzincoma okunje kubi.

4:17  Ngakho lowo okwaziyo ukwenza okuhle kodwa engakwenzi, kuyisono kuye.
