1 Timoteo 3
1 Ni kweli kuti, mundu apinga kubha kalongolele jwa likanisha, anapinga liengo lya mmbone.
Eechi chaambyo chilinchicho: Na muntu kayanda kuba mupati wambungano, ulombozya mulimu mubotu.
2 Bhai inapinjikwa kalongolele abhe mundu anakole ilebho ku bhandunji, na analombe matala, na abhe jwa kwiiluma na jwa ishimika, na jwa lunda, na jwa mituka na akombola kujiganya,
Nkinkaako mupati wambungano teelede kuba akampenda pe. Uyelede kuba mulumi wa mwanakazi umwe. Uleelede kuba muntu uli achiimo chibotu, uyeya kabotu, uzikatide, alimwi usamawusya. Uyelede kukonzya kuyisya.
3 nngabha mundu jwa kolelwa na nngomo, ikabhe abhe jwa kwitimalika na jwangali mitau, na anabhe mundu jwa kunnonyela mbiya,
Teelede kuba muntu uyandisya wayini, utakazyi a kutalwana pe, pesi aboobo, kalisibuuya, siluumuno. Teelede kuba simuyanda mali pe.
4 mundu akombola kulongoya ukoto bhandu bha likaja lyakwe, na akombola kwaatendanga bhaanagwe bhampilikananje na bhakolanje ishima.
Abe muntu ukonzya kubamba n'anda yakwe kabotu, alimwi uyeelede kuba aanchonzyo kuti bana bakwe balamuswilizya akumulemeka munzila zyoonse.
5 Pabha monaga mundu akakombola kwaalongoyanga ukoto bhandu bha likaja lyakwe, shakombole bhuli kulilongoya likanisha lya a Nnungu?
Nkaambo na mwaalumi katazi kubamba n'anda yakwe mwini, kujana ulakonzya biyeni kubamba mbungano yaLeza?
6 Na kabhili mundu akanabhe kwiishimilika ukoto nngulupai, anaagulwe kubha kalongolele, nngakabha anakwiipuna niukumulwa malinga shatendilwe Lishetani.
Teelede kuba muntu uuchisanduka, kuchitila kuti katazimbi chakulisumpula alimwi ulakonzya kuwida mukupegwa mulandu mbuli Satani.
7 Abhe mundu jwa shuma uguja kubhandunji bha kunyenje, nkupinga anagambwe nitanjila nniyau lika Lishetani.
Aboobo abe muntu ulempuwo mbotu kuli baabo balaanze, kuti atawide mu mawuse a mukakole ka dyabbulosi.
8 Nneyo peyo na mashemashi nnikanisha bhabhanganje bhandunji bha ishimika, na bhanabhanganje bha malobhe malobhe, na bhanabhanganje bha kolelwa, na bhapinganga mmbiya ya tokomaya,
Munzila ikozyenye, madikkoni beelede kuba abulemu, batabi bandimi-zyobile. Tabeelede kunywa loko wayini a kutangala.
9 bhabhanganje bhaakagulilanga ngulupai ya kweli.
Baleelede kubamba nsiswa chalusyomo a miyeyo isalala.
10 Kwa nneyo bhatandubhanje kulingwa, kungai bhatendanje liengo lya jangutila nnikanisha, bhabhonekangaga kuti bhangalinji itendi ya nyata.
Baleelede kuzumininwa lutanzi, alimwi elyo beelede kubeleka nkaambo tabakwe kampenda.
11 Nneyo peyo na ashaakongo bhabhonji, bhabhanganje bhaishimikanga, bhanabhanganje bha lung'wenyi, bhabhanganje bhakwiitimalika, na bhaakulupalikanga kwa kila shindu.
Munzila ikozyenye, banakazi babo beelede kuba abulemu, batakwe manwa, pesi balijisi alimwi basyomekede muzintu zyoonse.
12 Mashemashi bhanalombanje matala, numbe bhakombolanje kulongoya ashibhana bhabhonji na makaja gabhonji ukoto.
Badikkoni kabali balumi ba mwanakazi umwi. Baleelede kubamba kabotu bana babo a n'anda zyabo.
13 Pabha bhatendanga liengo ukoto nnikanisha, bhanapatanga kushimilika ukoto, nikola mashili ga bheleketa kwa makangala, ga ngulupai yabhonji nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu.
Nkaambo aabo bakabeleka kabotu balajana lwabo kwimikila kubotu alimwi a busichaamba bupati mulusyomo luli muliKkilisito Jesu.
14 Ngunakunnjandishila gegano, akuno nguliganishiya kuti ngakabha kwiya kweneko.
Mbuli mbundikulemba zintu ezi kulinduwe, ndabulangilizi bwakusika kulinduwe akufwambana.
15 Ikabheje monaga ngabhaga kwiya, bhai mmumanyanje shiikupinjikwa bhandu kutama nnikaja lya a Nnungu, yani nnikanisha lya a Nnungu bhakwete gumi, bhali lipoto, na nshingi gwa kweli.
Pesi na ndanonoka, ndikukulembela kuti uzibe kuti kulibambwa biyeni mun'anda yaLeza, ili njiyo mbungano yaLeza muumi, njembandama a mugwasyi wasimpe.
16 Bhai, pangali lipamba lyolyowe ga shinjubhi shikulu sha dini jetu, A Kilishitu bhakoposhele kwa shiilu sha shigundu, gubhakong'ondelwe naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo kuti bhakwete aki, gubhabhoneshe na ashimalaika. Gubhalungwiywe ku bhandu bha ilambo ina. Gubhakulupalilwe pa shilambolyo, nigubhanyakwilwe kunani muukonjelo.
toonse tulazumina kuti insiswa yabunaleza nimpati loko: “Wakayubununwa munyama, wakachitwa uusalala aMuuya, wakabonwa a bangelo, wakaambwa akati kamanyika, wakasyomegwa munyika, alimwi wakatolwa kujulu mubulemu.”
