Isibingelelo

1 UJakobe ^a, inceku kaNkulunkulu ^b leyeNkosi uJesu Kristu ^c, kuzo izizwe ezilitshumi lambili ^d ezisekuhlakazekeni ^e, ngiyabingelela.

Ukulaya ngezilingo

2 Kubaleni ukuthi kuyintokozo yonke ^f, bazalwane bami, nxa liwela ezilingweni ezizinhlobonhlobo ^g, 3 lisazi ukuthi ukuhlolwa kokholo ^h lwenu kuveza ⁱ ukubekezela ^j; 4 kodwa ukubekezela kakube lomsebenzi opheleleyo, ukuze libe ngabapheleleyo liphelelisiwe ^k, lingasileli ngalutho.

5 Njalo uba kukhona kini oswele inhlakanipho ^l, kacele ^m kuNkulunkulu ⁿ ophanayo ngesihle ^o kubo bonke, futhi engasoli, njalo uzayinikwa ^p. 6 Kodwa kacele ekholweni ^q engathandabuzi ngalutho ^r; ngoba othandabuzayo unjengegagasi lolwandle ^s eliqhutshwa ngumoya lizuliswe. 7 Ngoba lowomuntu kangacabangi ukuthi uzazuza ulutho eNkosini. 8 Indoda enhliziyombili ^t iyaphenduphenduka endleleni zayo zonke ^u.

9 Lomzalwane ophansi kazincome ekuphakameni kwakhe ^v; 10 kodwa onothileyo ekuthotshisweni kwakhe ^w; ngoba njengeluba lotshani ^x uzadlula ^y. 11 Ngoba ilanga liphuma lilokutshisa ^z, libunise utshani ^aa, leluba labo liwohloke, lobuhle bokubonakala kwalo bunyamalale; ngokunjalo lesinothi sizanyamalala ezindleleni zaso.

12 Ubusisiwe umuntu obekezelela isilingo ^ab; ngoba esehloliwe ^ac uzakwemukela umqhele wempilo ^ad, iNkosi eyawuthembisa kwabayithandayo ^ae. 13 Kakulamuntu olingwayo omele athi: Ngilingwa nguNkulunkulu; ngoba uNkulunkulu kalasilingo sokubi, laye uqobo kalingi muntu. 14 Kodwa ngulowo lalowo uyalingwa, lapho eyengwa ngezakhe inkanuko ^{af
,} ^ag, ehugwa; 15 kuthi lapho inkanuko isikhulelwe ibelethe isono ^ah; lesono lapho sesiphelele sizala ukufa ^ai.

16 Lingakhohliswa ^aj, bazalwane bami abathandekayo. 17 Sonke isipho esihle ^{ak
,} ^al laso sonke isipho esipheleleyo ^am sivela phezulu ^an, sehla sivela kuYise wezibane ^ao, okungekho kuye ukuguquka ^ap, kumbe isithunzi sokuphenduka. 18 Ngokuthanda kwakhe ^aq wasizala ^ar ngelizwi leqiniso ^as, ukuze sibe ^at njengezithelo zokuqala ^au zezidalwa zakhe.

Ukulaya ngokholo olulezenzo

19 Ngakho, bazalwane bami abathandekayo, wonke umuntu umele aphangise ukuzwa, aphuze ukukhuluma ^av, aphuze ukuthukuthela ^aw; 20 ngoba ukuthukuthela kwendoda kakwenzi ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu. 21 Ngakho selihlubule amanyala wonke ^ax lokwanda kakhulu kobubi ^{ay
,} ^az, lemukele ngobumnene ^ba ilizwi eligxunyekiweyo, elilamandla okusindisa imiphefumulo yenu ^bb.

22 Kodwa banini ngabenzi belizwi ^bc, lingabi ngabezwayo kuphela ^bd, lizikhohlisa ^be lina ngokwenu. 23 Ngoba uba umuntu ^bf engumuzwi welizwi ^bg futhi engesimenzi ^bh, yena ufanana lendoda ebuka ubuso bayo bemvelo esibukweni ^bi; 24 ngoba iyazibuka, ibisisuka, ibisihle ikhohlwa ukuthi ibinjani. 25 Kodwa lowo okhangelisisa ^bj emlayweni opheleleyo, lowo owenkululeko ^bk, abesebambelela kuwo, yena engesimuzwi ^bl okhohlwayo kodwa engumenzi womsebenzi ^bm, lo uzakuba ngobusisiweyo ekwenzeni kwakhe ^bn.

26 Uba umuntu phakathi kwenu esithi uyakholwa ^bo, uba engalufaki itomu ^bp ulimi lwakhe ^bq, kodwa akhohlise inhliziyo yakhe, ukukholwa kwalowo kuyize ^br. 27 Ukukholwa ^bs okuhlanzekileyo lokungangcoliswanga phambi kukaNkulunkulu ngitsho uBaba ^bt yilokhu, ukuhambela ^bu izintandane ^{bv
,} ^bw labafelokazi ^bx ekuhluphekeni kwabo, lokuzilondoloza ^by engelasici kokomhlaba ^bz.
