1 yaPhetro 3 - Siswati 1996 Bible（SWT）

Bafati nemadvodza abo

1 Ngalokufananako-ke, nani bafati, tfobelani emadvodza enu, kuze kutsi nakukhona emadvodza langalikholwa livi, nawo azuzeke ngaphandle kwenkhulumo, azuzwe yintfobeko yebafati bawo,

2 nakabona similo senu lesimsulwa lesinekwesaba Nkulunkulu.

3 Kuhloba kwenu kungabi kwekubukisa ngemichino, nangekugaba, nangekufaka imihlobohlobo yegolide, nome-ke ngekugcoka.

4 Kodvwa akube kuhloba kwemuntfu longekhatsi, lohloba ngalokungabhubhi kwemoya lomnene nalonekuthula, lokuligugu lelimcoka emehlweni aNkulunkulu.

5Babetihlobisa kanjalo-ke bafati bakadzeni labangcwele lababetsembela kuNkulunkulu, babewatfobela emadvodza abo.

6 Abenta njalo-ke naSara, ahlonipha Abrahama, ambita ngekutsi “yinkhosi” yakhe, lese naba bakhe nanenta lokulungile, ningesatjiswa lutfo.

7 Ngalokufananako nani, madvodza, hlalisanani kahle nebafati benu, nati kutsi umuntfu lomsikati unjengesitja lesibutsakatsaka; nibahloniphe, ngobe batindlalifa temusa wekuphila kanye nani; loku nikwente, khona ingetiwuvimbeleka imithandazo yenu.

Kuhlupheka ngekwenta lokuhle

8 Kwekugcina-ke, hawukelanani, nibe munye nonkhe, nitsandzane ngebuzalwane, nibe nebubele nekutfobeka.

9 Ningaphindziseli lokubi ngalokubi, nome inhlamba ngenhlamba; kodvwa esikhundleni saloko busisani, ngobe nabitelwa loko kutsi nidle lifa lekubusiswa.

10 Ngobe umBhalo utsi:

“Lowo lotsandza kuphila

nekubona emalanga lamahle,

akabambe lulwimi lwakhe kulokubi,

nemlomo wakhe

ekukhulumeni inkhohliso.

11 Akakhweshe kulokubi

ente lokulungile;

akajonge kuthula

ngemandla akhe onkhe.

12Ngobe emehlo eNkhosi

ayababona labalungile,

netindlebe teNkhosi

tiyayiva imithandazo yabo.

Kodvwa iNkhosi iyemelana nalabo

labenta lokubi.”

13Pho, ngubani longahle anilimate nangabe ninenshisekelo yekwenta lokulungile?

14 Kepha nangabe nihlushwa ngenca yekwenta lokulungile, nibusisiwe. Ningesabi muntfu, ningakhatsateki.

15 Kepha mngcweliseni Khristu abe yiNkhosi etinhlitiyweni tenu, nimhloniphe, nihlale nilungele kubaphendvula bonkhe labanibuta ngelitsemba lelikini.

16 Loku nikwente ngebumnene nangekuhlonipha, nibe nanembeza lomsulwa, kuze kutsi kuloko labanihleba ngako bajabhiswe labo labetfuka kuhamba kwenu lokuhle kuKhristu.

17Ngobe kuncono kuhlupheka ngekwenta lokuhle, nakuyintsandvo yaNkulunkulu, kunekuhlupheka ngekwenta lokubi.

18 Khristu wafela tono tetfu, kwaba kanye, kwenela. Yena lolungile wafela labangakalungi, kuze animikise kuNkulunkulu. Wabulawa ngekwemtimba, kepha wavuswa ngaMoya waNkulunkulu.

19 Wahamba ngaye loMoya wayawushumayela imiphefumulo yalabasekuboshweni.

20 Labo-ke ngulabo lekwatsi endvulo bala kulalela Nkulunkulu ngesikhatsi Nkulunkulu abalindzele ngekubeketela ngemalanga ekwakhiwa kwemkhumbi waNowa. Bantfu labambalwa, lababesiphohlongo, bangena kulomkhumbi basindza emantini.

21 Emanti wona emele umbhabhatiso. Umbhabhatiso awusiwo wekususa insila yemtimba, kodvwa wekucela nembeza lomsulwa kuNkulunkulu. Lombhabhatiso uyanisindzisa ngekuvuka kwaJesu Khristu ekufeni.

22 Yena sewahamba waya ezulwini, lapho asahleti khona ngesekudla saNkulunkulu; emagunya, nemandla, netingilosi sekwabekwa ngaphansi kwakhe loJesu.
