KuThimothewu 1-1
1UPawuli, umphostoli kaKristu Jesu ngomyalo kaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu noweNkosi uJesu Kristu, ithemba lethu;
2kuThimothewu, indodana yami uqobo ekukholweni: Makube umusa, nesihawu, nokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba wethu noKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu.
3Njengalokhu ngakuncenga ukuthi uhlale e-Efesu, ekungeneni kwami eMakedoniya, ukuze uyale abanye ukuthi bangafundisi enye imfundiso;
4futhi ninganaki izinganekwane nezinhlu zozalo ezingenakuphela, ezibanga imibuzo, kunokwakha kukaNkulunkulu okusekukholweni;
5Kepha isiphetho somyalo siluthando oluphuma enhliziyweni ehlanzekileyo, nakunembeza omuhle, nasekukholweni okungazenzisi;
6okukhona abanye sebephambukile baphambukela enkulumeni eyize;
7befisa ukuba ngabafundisi bomthetho; bengaqondi abakushoyo, nalokho abakuqinisayo.
8Kodwa siyazi ukuthi umthetho muhle, uba umuntu ewusebenzisa ngokomthetho;
9sisazi lokhu ukuthi umthetho kawumiselwe olungileyo, kodwa ongelamthetho, labangalaleliyo, abangamesabi uNkulunkulu, lezoni, abangcolileyo, labangcolileyo, ababulali oyise, ababulali babonina, ababulali;
10Izifebe, labazingcolisa kanye labantu, amasela abantu, abaqambimanga, abafunga amanga, njalo uba kukhona okunye okuphambana lemfundiso ephilileyo;
11ngokwevangeli lenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu obongekayo, engiphathiswe lona.
12Ngiyambonga ongenzele amandla, uKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu, ngokuba wathi ngikholekile, engimisa enkonzweni;
13Ngake ngaba ngumhlambazi, nomzingeli, nomhlukumezi, kodwa ngahawukelwa, ngokuba ngangikwenza ngokungazi ngokungakholwa.
14Kepha umusa weNkosi yethu wavama kakhulu kanye nokukholwa nothando olukuKristu Jesu.
15Likholekile leli zwi, lifanele ukwamukelwa konke, ukuthi uKristu Jesu weza ezweni ukusindisa izoni; engiyinduna yabo.
16Kodwa ngenxa yalokhu ngahawukelwa, ukuze kimi mina engingomkhulu uJesu Kristu abonakalise konke ukubekezela, ngibe yisibonelo kwabazakholwa kuye ekuphileni okuphakade.
17Kuyo iNkosi yaphakade, engabhubhiyo, engabonakali, uNkulunkulu yedwa, makube ludumo nenkazimulo kuze kube phakade naphakade. Amen.
18Lo myalo ngiwunika wena Thimothewu, ndodana, ngokweziprofetho ezandulelayo ngawe, ukuze ngazo ulwe impi enhle;
19Ubambile ukholo nonembeza omuhle; abanye ngokuyilahla ngokukholwa, baphahlazeka umkhumbi;
20okukubo ngoHimenewu noAleksandro; engibanikele kuSathane, ukuze bafunde ukuthi bangahlambalazi.
