13 Ningamangali, bazalwane, nanitondvwa live.
Labalungile bayabatondza lababi; nalababi bayabatondza labalungile.
Nawubona lophuyile acindzetelwe endzaweni letsite, asemukwe emalungelo akhe nekwehlulelwa ngebucotfo, kungakumangalisi loko. Lowo nalowo lophetse unemuntfu longetulu kwakhe, kantsi nalowo longetulu kwakhe unemuntfu longetulu kwabo bonkhe.
Niyawutondvwa bantfu bonkhe ngenca yelibito lami; kodvwa lokhutsatelako kuze kubesekupheleni, uyawusindziswa.
“Lapho-ke bayawuninikela etinhlungwini, banibulale. Tonkhe tive tiyawunitondza ngenca yelibito lami.
Niyawutondvwa ngabo bonkhe ngenca yeligama lami. Kepha lowo loyawucinisela kuze kube ngusekugcineni, uyakusindziswa.”
Wonkhe umuntfu uyawunitondza ngenca yelibito lami.
“Nibusisiwe, bantfu nabanitondza banishalatela ngekuninyembenya, banetfuka banigceke batsi anikalungi, ngenca yeNdvodzana yeMuntfu.
Bayakunincuma emasinagogeni. Yebo, sikhatsi siyeta, lapho bayawunibulala, bacabange kutsi basebentela Nkulunkulu.
Senginitjele loku, kuze nitewuba nekuthula kimi. Eveni niyawuhlupheka nibe nelusizi. Kodvwa manini sibindzi, ngobe mine ngilincobile live.”
Ngibanikile livi lakho; live labatondza ngobe bangesibo belive, njengobe nami ngingesiye walelive.
Ungamangali, ngobe naku ngitsi kuwe: ‘Nifanele kutsi nitalwe kabusha.’
Live lingeke linitondze nine, kodvwa mine liyangitondza, ngobe ngifakaza ngalo kutsi imisebenti yalo mibi.
Nakabona labantfu Phetro, watsi kubo: “Madvodza aka-Israyeli, kunimangaliselani loku, nisigolotelelani kangaka? Nicabanga kutsi kungebungcwele betfu yini nome ngemandla etfu yini kutsi sente lomuntfu wahamba?
Ngako-ke labanaka kwenyama batitsa kuNkulunkulu, ngobe abawutfobeli umtsetfo waNkulunkulu; empeleni bate emandla ekuwutfobela.
Yebo, bonkhe labafisa kuphila ngekukholwa nguKhristu Jesu bayawutingelwa bahlushwe,
Aniketsembeki, ninjengetiphingi. Anati yini kutsi kutsandzana nelive kubutsa kuNkulunkulu? Lofisa kuba ngumngani welive, utenta sitsa kuNkulunkulu.
Kodvwa ingilosi yangibuta yatsi: “Umangaliswa yini? Ngitakutjela imfihlakalo yalomfati, neyalesilo lesimetfwele lesinetinhloko letisikhombisa netimphondvo letilishumi.
