KuTitosi 2:1-15
2 Wena, hlala ukhuluma izinto ezikhambisana nefundiso eyakhako.+
2 Amadoda amadala awalinganisele emikghwenawo, abe ngazimiseleko, anomkhumbulo oqaqulukileko, adzimelele ekukholweni, ethandweni nekukghodlheleleni.
3 Ngokunjalo nabafazi abadala kufuze baziphathe ngendlela ehlonipha uZimu, bangabi barhwayeli, bangabi ziingqila zewayini elinengi, babe bafundisi bokuhle,
4 bona baluleke* abafazi abasesebatjha bona bathande amadodabo, bathande abantwababo,
5 babe nomkhumbulo oqaqulukileko, babe msulwa, basebenze ekhaya,* baziphathe kuhle, bazithobe emadodenabo,+ bona ilizwi lakaZimu lingahlanjalazwa.
6 Ngokufanako, raga ngokukhuthaza amasokana bona abe nomkhumbulo oqaqulukileko,+
7 uziveze usibonelo semisebenzi emihle ngazo zoke iindlela. Fundisa okumsulwa* ngakho koke ukuzimisela,+
8 usebenzise ikulumo eyakhako engekhe yasolwa,+ ukuthi labo abaphikisako bahlaziseke, bangabi nalitho elimbi abangalitjho ngathi.+
9 Iingqila azizithobe kubanikazi bazo kizo zoke izinto,+ zilinge ukubathabisa, zingaphendulani nabo,
10 zingabebeli+ kodwana zithembeke ngokupheleleko bona ngazo zoke iindlela zikghabise ifundiso yoMsindisethu, uZimu.+
11 Ngombana umusa omkhulu kaZimu ubonakalisiwe, uletha isindiso kiyo yoke imihlobo yabantu.+
12 Usibandula bona sale ukungahloniphi uZimu neenkanuko zephasi+ begodu siphile ngomkhumbulo oqaqulukileko, ngokulunga nangokuzinikela kuZimu phakathi kwephaseli,+
13 kukulapho silindele ithemba elithabisako+ nokubonakaliswa okuphazimulako kwakaZimu omkhulu noMsindisethu, uJesu Krestu,
14 owazinikela+ bona asitjhaphulule*+ kiyo yoke imihlobo yokungabi namthetho begodu wazihlwengisela abantu abayipahlakhe ekhethekileko, abatjhisakalela imisebenzi emihle.+
15 Ragela phambili ukhuluma izintwezi, uyala* begodu usola ngawo woke amandla.+ Ungavumeli muntu akunyaze.
