Yokuthoma KwebeThesalonika 5:1-28
5 Nje-ke malungana neenkhathi namalanga, bafowethu, anitlhogi ukutlolelwa litho.
2 Ngombana nina ngokwenu nazi kuhle ukuthi ilanga lakaJehova*+ liza patsi njengokuza kwesela ebusuku.+
3 Nanyana kunini nabathi, “Ukuthula nokuvikeleka!” Khonokho ukutjhatjalaliswa kuzobafikela bangakalindeli,+ njengemirhelo efikela umfazi osidisi, angekhe baphunyurhe.
4 Kodwana nina bafowethu, anisisebumnyameni, nje-ke ilangelo angekhe linifikele ningakalindeli njengokukhanya kwemini okufikela isela lingakalindeli
5 ngombana noke nimadodana wokukhanya namadodana wemini.+ Asisingebebusuku namkha bobumnyama.+
6 Nje-ke, asingalali njengombana abanye benza+ kodwana asihlaleni siphapheme+ begodu sihlale siqaqulukile.+
7 Ngombana labo abalalako, balala ebusuku nalabo abadakwako badakwa ebusuku.+
8 Kodwana thina esingebemini, asihlaleni siqaqulukile, simbathe isivikelo sesifuba sokukholwa nethando nethemba lesindiso njengesikoporo*+
9 ngombana uZimu akafuni siqalane nelaka lakhe kodwana ufuna sisindiswe+ ngeKosethu uJesu Krestu.
10 Yasifela+ ukuthi nanyana sihlala siphapheme namkha silele,* siphile kunye nayo.+
11 Yeke, hlalani nikhuthazana* begodu nakhana+ njengombana kuhlekuhle nenza.
12 Siyanibawa bafowethu bona nibahloniphe labo abasebenza budisi hlangana nani nabanengameleko eKosini begodu baniyala;
13 nibacabangele begodu nibathande ngaphezu kokujayelekileko ngebanga lomsebenzabo.+ Hlalisanani ngokuthula.+
14 Ngakwelinye ihlangothi, siyanikhuthaza, bafowethu bona niyelelise* abangakahleleki,+ nikhulume ngokududuzako nalabo abagandelelekileko,* nisekele ababogabogako, nibekezelele boke.+
15 Qinisekani bona kungabi nobuyisela ukulinyazwa ngokulimaza kunanyana ngubani+ kodwana ngaso soke isikhathi lwelani ukwenza okuhle komunye nomunye nakibo boke abanye.+
16 Thabani ngaso soke isikhathi.+
17 Thandazani qobe.+
18 Thokozani ngakho koke.+ Lokhu kuyintando kaZimu ngani kuKrestu Jesu.
19 Ningawucimi umlilo wommoya.+
20 Ningazideleli iimphorofido.+
21 Qinisekani ngazo zoke izinto;+ kakarelani kokuhle.
22 Gegedani yoke imihlobo yobumbi.+
23 Kwanga uZimu wokuthula anganicwengisa ngokupheleleko. Kwanga ummoya nomphefumulo* nomzimbenu bafowethu, kungalondolozwa kumsulwa begodu kuphelele ngazo zoke iindlela ekubeni khona kweKosethu uJesu Krestu.+
24 Loyo onibizako uthembekile begodu ngokuqinisekileko uzokwenza lokho.
25 Bafowethu, hlalani nisithandazela.+
26 Lotjhisani boke abafowethu ngokumanga okucwengileko.
27 Nginibeka ngaphasi kwesibopho esiqinileko ngeKosi ukuthi incwadi le niyifundele boke abafowethu.+
28 Umusa omkhulu weKosethu uJesu Krestu ube nani.
