1 Akudingeki ukuba ngililobele mayelana lalokhukusebenzela abantu beNkosi.
Okugwana nokufulubhemba kwa bhelu, nikisi muno kwanye okubhandikila.
2 Ngoba ngiyakwazi ukutshisekela kwenu ukuba lisize njalo kade ngizincoma ngakho kwabaseMasedoniya, ngibatshela ukuthi kusukela nyakenye lina e-Akhayiya belizimisele ukunikela; njalo ukutshiseka kwenu kukhuthaze inengi labo ukuba baphathise.
Nimenyele okwenda kwemwe, enikumangishamo kwa bhanu bha Makedonia. Nabhabwiliye ati Akaya yabheyeo omwaka gunu gutulile. okukomela kwemwe kwabhakungilisishe bhafu mu bhenabho.
3 Kodwa ngithuma abazalwane ukuze ukuzincoma kwethu ngani ngale indaba kungabi yize kodwa ukuba libe ngabalungiseleleyo, njengoba ngatsho ukuthi lizakuba lilungiselele.
Woli, nabhatuma abhaili koleleki okwikumaga kweswe kubhanu gasiga kubhagabhusa, na koleleki muchibha bwangu, alabha naikile mwakabheye.
4 Ngoba nxa abanye baseMasedoniya besiza lami, bengathola lingalungiselanga, singayangeka ngokulethemba ebesilakho.
Amwi, alabha omunu wona wona wa Makedonia akaja amwi nanye no kubhenda muchali kubha bhangu, chakalolele ganu— nitakwaika chona chona okubhemako emwe — kwo kubha namanaga muno emwe.
5 Ngakho ngibone kufanele ukukhuthaza abazalwane ukuba balethekelele mandulo baqedise amalungiselelo esipho esihle elasithembisa sona. Ngalesosikhathi sizakuba sesilungile njengesipho esihle hatshi esinikelwe ngomona.
Kutyo nalolele niniganilisha abhaili okuja kwemwe nokola emisango bhangu koleleki echiyanwa chinu mwaliga mulagile. Linu nikwo koleleki gabhe mabhando, na tali chinu chisosishe.
6 Khumbulani lokhu: Lowo ohlanyela okunengi uvuna okunengi.
Nawe linu: omunu unu kabhibha bhikeele ona kagesa bhikeele, na wona wona unu kabhibha kwa bhando ona kagesa kwa mabhando.
7 Umuntu ngamunye kanike lokho amise ukukunikela enhliziyweni yakhe, kungabi ngokudonda loba ukubanjwa ngamandla ngoba uNkulunkulu uthanda onikela ngokuthokoza.
Nawe na bhuli umwi asoshe kutyo amaliliye mu mwoyo gwaye. Nawe atasosha bwiguguni nolwo mu kusinyilisibwa. Kwo kubha Nyamuanga kenda uliya kasosha akondewe.
8 Njalo uNkulunkulu ulamandla okwenza umusa wande kini ukuze kuthi ezintweni zonke ngezikhathi zonke, lilakho konke elikuswelayo, lizakuba lokunengi kuyo yonke imisebenzi emihle.
Na Nyamuanga katula okukanyisha bhuli mabhando kwimwe, koleleki, bhuli mwanya, emisango jone, mutule okubhona gona ganu omwenda. Inu eibha ati mutule okukanyisha bhuli chikolwa chakisi.
9 Njengoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Uchithele izipho zakhe kubayanga ezindaweni zonke; ukulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade.” (aiōn g165)
Lwa kutyo gwandikilwe: “Anyalambula obhunibhi bwaye no kusosha ku bhata. obhulengesi bwaye bhulikala kajanende.” (aiōn g165)
10 Lowo onika umhlanyeli inhlanyelo lesinkwa sokudla uzanika njalo aqhelise isiphala senu senhlanyelo, andise lesivuno sokulunga kwenu.
Unu kasosha ebhiyambwa kumuyambi no mukate ingulu ye bhilyo, ona kasosha nokusaga echiyambhwa chemwe koleleki muyambe. Omwene kongesha ebhigeswa bhyo bhulengelesi bhwemwe.
11 Lizanothiswa ngezindlela zonke ukuze liphane ngezikhathi zonke, kuthi ngathi ukupha kwenu kulethe ukubongwa kukaNkulunkulu.
Omunibhibhwa bhuli chinu koleleki mubhone okubha bhobhwila. Inu eileta isime ku Nyamuanga okulabhila eswe.
12 Umsebenzi lo eliwenzayo kawuqedi zinswelo zabantu bakaNkulunkulu kuphela kodwa ugcwele amazwi amanengi okubonga uNkulunkulu.
Kwokukola imfulubhendo inu italila ati aikolala ebhiyanwa bhya bhekilisha. Nalindi eyongesha ebhikolwa bhyamfu ebhyaisime ku Nyamuanga.
13 Ngenxa yomsebenzi eselizibonakalise ngawo, abantu bazamdumisa uNkulunkulu ngenxa yokulalela lokuvuma kwenu ivangeli likaKhristu, kanye lomusa wenu ekwabelananeni labo kanye labanye futhi.
