UPa­wu­li uba­la­ya uku­ze ba­ha­mbe ngo­kwe­va­nge­li

27 Ku­phe­la ha­mba­nim ngo­ku­fa­ne­len iva­nge­li li­ka­Kri­stu, ku­ze ku­thi, lo­ba ngi­fi­ka ngi­li­bo­na, lo­ba ngi­nge­kho, ngi­zwe inda­ba ze­nu, zo­ku­thi li­mio emo­ye­ni mu­nye, nga­ngqo­ndo­nyep li­lwe­la ukho­lo lwe­va­nge­li nda­wo­nyeq,

28 nja­lo li­nge­thu­swa nga­lu­tho nga­ba­phi­ki­sa­yo; oku­yi­si­bo­na­ka­li­sor ki­bo so­ku­bhu­bha, ko­dwa ki­ni eso­si­ndi­sost, nja­lo lo­khu ku­ve­la ku­Nku­lu­nku­lu;

29 ngo­ba la­ni­kwau nge­si­hle esi­khu­ndle­ni si­ka­Kri­stu, ku­nge­yi­si­kho uku­kho­lwa ku­ye ku­phe­la, ko­dwa lo­ku­mhlu­phe­ke­lav;

30 li­lo­ku­lwaw oku­fa­na­na­yo nje­nga­lo­kho ela­ku­bo­na ki­mix, le­li­ku­zwa ki­mi kha­the­siy.

Uku­zi­tho­ba ku­ka­Kri­stu lo­ku­pha­ka­nyi­swa kwa­khe

2Nga­kho uba ku­kho­na inku­tha­zoa ku­Kri­stu, uba ku­kho­na indu­du­zo yo­tha­ndo, uba ku­kho­na ubu­dle­lwa­nob bu­ka­Mo­yac, uba ku­kho­na imi­he­lo le­si­ha­wud,

11 le­nli­mi zo­nkei zi­vu­me uku­thi uJe­su Kri­stuj uyi­Nko­sik, ku­be lu­du­mo ku­Nku­lu­nku­lu uYi­se.

Uku­phe­le­li­swa ko­mse­be­nzi wo­si­ndi­so

12 Nga­kho, ba­tha­ndi­we­yo ba­mi, nje­nga­lo­kho li­la­le­la nge­zi­kha­thi zo­nkelm, ku­nge­nje­nge­bu­kho­ne­ni ba­mi ku­phe­la, ko­dwa kha­the­si ika­khu­lu­ka­zi ngi­nge­kho, fe­za­nin usi­ndi­so lwe­nu ngo­kwe­sa­ba la­ngo­ku­thu­thu­me­lao;

16 li­bo­na­ka­li­se ili­zwi le­mpi­loa, eku­zi­nco­me­ni kwa­mib osu­kwi­ni lu­ka­Kri­stu, uku­thi ka­ngi­gi­ji­me­la­nga izec, nja­lo ka­ngi­tshi­ka­tshi­ke­la­nga ized.

17 Ye­bo, uba la­mi ngi­thu­lu­lwa nje­ngo­mni­ke­loe wo­ku­na­thwa­yo phe­zu ko­mhla­tshe­lo le­nko­nzo yo­kho­lo lwe­nuf, ngi­ya­tho­ko­zag nja­lo ngi­tho­ko­za ka­nye la­ni lo­nke;

18 nge­nxa ya­lo­kho-ke tho­ko­za­ni la­ni nja­lo li­tho­ko­ze ka­nye la­mi.

UPa­wu­li uza­thu­ma uTi­mo­thi loE­pa­fro­di­thu

19 Ngi­ya­the­mba-ke eNko­si­ni uJe­su uku­thu­ma uTi­mo­thih ki­ni ma­si­nya­ne, uku­ze la­mi ngi­tho­ko­ze la­pho ngi­sa­zi izi­nda­ba ze­nu.

20 Ngo­ba ka­ngi­la­ye ole­ngqo­ndo enje­nge­ya­khei, oza­na­nze­le­la inda­ba ze­nu ngo­bu­qo­thoj,

21 ngo­ba bo­nkek ba­zi­di­nge­la okwa­bol, ku­nge­yi­si­kho oku­ka­Kri­stu Je­su.

22 Ko­dwa li­ya­zi uku­qi­ni­sa kwa­khem, uku­thi nje­ngo­mntwa­na ku­yi­sen, use­be­nzi­le la­mi eva­nge­li­ni.

23 Ngi­ya­the­mba-ke uku­hle ngi­mthu­me ye­na, nxa se­ngi­bo­ni­si­si­le oku­qo­nde­ne la­mi;

25 Ko­dwa ngi­bo­ne ku­fa­ne­le uku­thi ngi­thu­me ki­ni uE­pa­fro­di­thup, umza­lwa­ne le­si­se­be­nziqr lo­li­bu­thos ka­nye la­mi, ko­dwa isi­thu­nywat se­nu, le­si­se­be­nzi so­ku­swe­la kwa­miu;

26 nje­ngo­ba wa­ye­li­la­nga­thav lo­nke, nja­lo ekha­tha­ze­ki­le ka­khu­luw, ngo­ba le­zwa uku­thi wa­ye­gu­la;

27 ngo­ba nja­lo wa­gu­la wa­pho­sa wa­fa, ko­dwa uNku­lu­nku­lu wa­mha­wu­ke­la, nja­lo ku­nge­yi­su­ye ye­na ye­dwa, ko­dwa la­mi, uku­ze ngi­nga­bi lo­si­zi phe­zu ko­si­zi.

28 Nga­kho ngi­tshi­se­ke­la ka­khu­lux uku­mthu­ma, uku­ze ku­thi, nxa li­mbo­na, li­tho­ko­ze fu­thi, lo­si­zi lwa­mi lu­nci­phe.

29 Me­mu­ke­le­ni-key eNko­si­ni nge­nto­ko­zo yo­nke, li­ba­hlo­ni­phez aba­nja­lo-kea;

30 ngo­ba nge­nxa yo­mse­be­nzi ka­Kri­stu wa­pho­se wa­fa, ede­la impi­lo, uku­ze aphe­le­li­seb oku­si­le­le­yo ko­mse­be­nzi we­nu ki­mi.

UPa­wu­li uba­xwa­yi­sa ngo­ku­lu­nga oku­ngo­kwa­ba­ntu

3Elo­ku­ci­naa, ba­za­lwa­ne ba­mi, tho­ko­za­nib eNko­si­ni. Uku­li­bha­le­lac izi­nto ezi­fa­na­na­yo, mi­na ka­ku­ngi­di­ni­si, ko­dwa li­na ku­ya­li­qi­ni­sa.
