KaJohane

1 Mina omdala,

 
Ngilobela umngane wami othandekayo uGayiyasi, engimthanda ngeqiniso.
 
 
2 Mngane wami othandekayo, ngiyakhuleka ukuba ube lempilo enhle lokuthi konke kukuhambele kuhle njengalokhu umphefumulo wakho uphila kuhle. 3 Kwangithokozisa kakhulu ukuba labanye abazalwane abafika bafakaza ngokuthembeka kwakho eqinisweni kanye lokuthi uyaqhubeka uphila ngeqiniso. 4 Angilakuthokoza okukhulu okudlula ukuzwa ukuthi abantwabami baphila ngokweqiniso.

5 Mngane othandekayo, uthembekile kulokho okwenzela abazalwane, lanxa nje kuwe bengabemzini. 6 Sebetshele ibandla ngothando lwakho. Ngicela ubathume ngendlela edumisa uNkulunkulu. 7 Baphuma ngenxa yeBizo, abaze bathola usizo kwabangakholwayo. 8 Ngakho kufanele sitshengise ukuphana ebantwini abanjalo ukuze sisebenzele ndawonye iqiniso.

9 Ngalobela ebandleni kodwa uDiyothrefasi othanda ubukhulu akasoze asemukela. 10 Ngakho-ke, ngingeza ngizakukhangelisisa lokhu akwenzayo, ekhuluma kakubi ngathi. Kasuthiseki ngalokho, uyala ukwamukela abazalwane. Labafuna ukwenzanjalo uyabalela abaxotshe ebandleni.

11 Bangane abathandekayo, lingalingiseli okubi, kodwa lingisani okuhle. Lowo oyenza okuhle ngokaNkulunkulu. Lowo oyenza okubi kakamboni uNkulunkulu. 12 UDemetriyasi unconywa ngabantu bonke kanye laliqiniso uqobo. Lathi sikhuluma okuhle ngaye njalo liyakwazi ukuthi ubufakazi bethu buliqiniso.

 
 
13 Ngilokunengi engingalilobela khona, kodwa angifuni ukusebenzisa usiba le-inki. 14 Ngithemba ukuthi ngizalibona masinyane lapho esizakhuluma khona ubuso ngobuso.
 
15 Ukuthula kakube kini.
 
Abangane abalapha bayalibingelela. Bingelela abangane abangapho munye ngamunye.
