Umshumayeli 12 - Siswati 1996 Bible

¹ Khumbula uMdali wakho etinsukwini tebusha bakho, tinsuku tekuhlupheka tisengakefiki, neminyaka isengakasondzeli lapho uyawusho ngayo utsi: “Kuphila angisakujabuleli.”

² Mkhumbule yena, lilanga, nekukhanya, nenyanga netinkhanyeti kusengakafiphali, nemafu asengakabuyeli emvakwemvula.

³ Ngaleso sikhatsi balindzi bendlu bayawutfutfumela, nemadvodza lanemandla ayawutfotfobala, lapho basili bayakuyekela kusila, ngobe nalabo basili bayawube sebambalwa; nalabo labalunguta ngemafasitelo bangabe basahlola;

⁴ ngesikhatsi neminyango lephumela esitaladini seyivalekile, nemsindvo wesigayo sewushabalala; ngesikhatsi bantfu bavuswa kuntjilota kwenyoni, nalokuhlabelela kwato sekuvakala kancane,

⁵ ngesikhatsi bantfu besaba konkhe lokuphakeme, kanye netingoti tasetitaladini, ngesikhatsi tihlahla te-alimondi setichakaza, nentsetse itotoba endleleni yayo, nenkhabunkhabu iphela. Umuntfu uya ekhaya lakhe laphakadze, labalilako bazulazula etitaladini.

⁶ Mkhumbule yena, intsambo yakho yesiliva isengakadzabuki, nesitja segolide sisengakaphahlaki, imbita yemanti isengakaphahlaki ngasemtfonjeni wemanti, nelisondvo lingakephukeli ngasemtfonjeni.

⁷ Mkhumbule yena, lutfuli lusengakabuyeli emhlabatsini, lapho lwatsatfwa khona, nemoya usengakabuyeli kuNkulunkulu lowawuniketa.

⁸ UMshumayeli utsi: “Lite lelite, konkhe kulite.”

⁹ Wachubeka kanjalo-ke uMshumayeli afundzisa bantfu ngekuhlakanipha kwakhe konkhe lakwatiko naye. Abecabangisisa aphenyisise, aphindze atihlelise kahle taga letinyenti engcondvweni yakhe,

¹⁰ bese uphenyisisa kutsi angatimisa kanjani. Abewahlela kahle emavi akhe kuze abe mnandzi, kodvwa loko lakubhala kwakuliciniso lodvwa.

¹¹ Taga tebantfu labahlakaniphile tinemavi lakhalipha njengentjumentju yemelusi, nanjengetipikili letishayelwe tacina, tinjalo taga natihlanganiswe ndzawonye, ngobe bavela kumelusi munye.

¹² Ndvodzana yami, caphela kungabikho lokwengetekako. Kubhalwa kwetincwadzi kungeke kuphele, kantsi nekufundza kakhulu kuyawudzinisa umtimba.

¹³ Konkhe sekuvakele. Nasi-ke siphetfo sendzaba: Yesaba Nkulunkulu, ugcine imiyalo yakhe, kute lokunye lokungetulu kwaloko lokudzingekako kumuntfu.

¹⁴ Ngobe Nkulunkulu uyakuyehlulela yonkhe imisebenti lesiyentile, ngisho nalokufihlakele lesikwentako, nome kuhle nome kubi.
