Hebrews 13

Izixwayiso Zokucina

1Qhubekani lithandana njengabazalwane. 2Lingakhohlwa ukwamukela izihambi ngoba ngokwenza njalo abanye abantu bamukela izingilosi bengazi. 3Khumbulani abasentolongweni ngokungathi lani liyizibotshwa kanye labo, kanye lalabo abaphethwe kubi ngokungathi lani uqobo liyahlupheka.

4Ukuthathana kumele kuhlonitshwe ngumuntu wonke, kuthi lomendlalo wokuthathana uhlale uhlambulukile ngoba uNkulunkulu uzakwahlulela isifebe labo bonke abahlobongayo. 5Ekuphileni kwenu xwayani ukuthanda imali lisuthiseke ngalokho elilakho, ngoba uNkulunkulu wathi:

“Kangisoze ngilitshiye;
kangisoze ngilidele.” ▼

▼UDutheronomi 31.6

6Ngakho siyatsho ngethemba sithi:

“INkosi ingumsizi wami; kangiyikwesaba.
Umuntu angenzani kimi na?” ▼

▼AmaHubo 118.6-7

7Khumbulani abakhokheli benu, abakhuluma ilizwi likaNkulunkulu kini. Cabangani okwavela endleleni yokuphila kwabo lilingisele ukukholwa kwabo. 8UJesu Khristu uyafana izolo lanamhla kanye laphakade.

9Lingathatheki ngazozonke inhlobo zemfundiso engaziwayo. Kuhle ukuba inhliziyo zethu ziqiniswe ngumusa, hatshi yikudla komkhuba okungelasizo kulabo abakudlayo. 10Thina sile-alithare lapho labo abakhonza ethabanikeleni bengelalungelo lokudlela kulo.

11Umphristi omkhulu uletha igazi lezifuyo eNdaweni eNgcwelengcwele njengomnikelo wesono kodwa izidumbu zazo ziyatshiswa ngaphandle kwezihonqo. 12Ngokunjalo uJesu laye wahlupheka ngaphandle kwesango ledolobho ukuba enze abantu bakhe babengcwele ngegazi lakhe. 13Ngakho-ke, kasiyeni kuye ngaphandle kwezihonqo silehlazo alithwalayo. 14Ngoba lapha kasiladolobho elimiyo njalo, kodwa sidinga idolobho elizayo.

15Ngakho, ngoJesu kasinikeleni njalonjalo kuNkulunkulu umhlatshelo wokubonga, isithelo sezindebe ezivuma ibizo lakhe. 16Njalo lingakhohlwa ukwenza okulungileyo kanye lokwabela abanye ngoba uNkulunkulu uyathokoza ngemihlatshelo enje.

17Lalelani abakhokheli benu njalo lithobele amandla abo. Bayalilinda njengabantu okumele balandise ngani. Balaleleni ukuze umsebenzi wabo uthokozise njalo ungasindi ngoba lokho akungeke kube lusizo kini.

18Sikhulekeleni. Sileqiniso ukuthi silesazela esihle njalo sifisa ukuhlala ngobuqotho ngezindlela zonke. 19Ikakhulu ngiyalincenga ukuba likhuleke ukuze ngibuyiselwe kini masinyane.

Izibusiso Lokuvalelisa

20Sengathi uNkulunkulu wokuthula, owavusa iNkosi yethu uJesu kwabafileyo ngegazi lesivumelwano esingapheliyo, lowoMalusi omkhulu wezimvu, 21angalihlomisa ngakho konke okulungele ukwenza intando yakhe, njalo sengathi angasebenza phakathi kwethu lokho okumthokozisayo ngoJesu Khristu, udumo kalube kuye kuze kube nini lanini. Ameni.

22Bazalwane, ngiyalincenga ukuba libekezelele ilizwi lami lokuqonqosela kwami ngoba ngililobele incwadi emfitshane nje.

23Ngithanda ukuba likwazi ukuthi umzalwane wethu uThimothi usekhululwe. Angafika masinyane ngizakuza laye sizelibona.

24Bingelelani bonke abakhokheli benu kanye labantu bakaNkulunkulu bonke.

Abavela e-Ithali bayalibingelela.

25Umusa kawube lani lonke.
