2 Umusa lokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba wethu leNkosini uJesu Khristu kakube kini.
Echigongo chibhe kwimwe no mulembe okusoka ku Nyamuanga Lata weswe na Lata bhugenyi Yesu Kristo.
3 Makabongwe uNkulunkulu uYise weNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu, uBaba wesihawu loNkulunkulu wenduduzo yonke,
Na akusibwe Nyamuanga na Esemwene Lata bhugenyi Yesu Kristo. Omwene ni Lata we chigongo na Nyamuanga owo kusilisha kwone.
4 osiduduzayo kuzozonke inhlupheko zethu ukuze lathi siduduze abasekuhluphekeni ngenduduzo esiduduzwe ngayo nguNkulunkulu.
Nyamuanga kachisilisha eswe munyako yeswe yona, koleleki chitule okubhasilisha bhaliya bhali munyako. Echibhasilisha abhandi kwo kusilisha kunu Nyamuanga kakolela okuchisilisha eswe.
5 Njengoba inhlupheko zikaKhristu zigelezela ekuphileni kwethu, ngakho ngokunjalo futhi induduzo yethu iyaphuphuma ngoKhristu.
Kubha lwa kutyo kunyasibwa kwa Kristo okwiyongesha Kwiswe, nikwo kutyo no kusilisibwa kweswe okwongesibwa okulabhila Kristo.
6 Nxa sihlupheka, kungenxa yenduduzo lokusindiswa kwenu; nxa siduduzekile, kungenxa yokududuzwa kwenu okulenza liqinisele ekubekezeleleni zona lezo zinhlupheko ezisihluphayo.
Nawe chikanyaka, ni kwo kusilisibwa kwemwe no mwelulo gwemwe. Na chikasilibwa ni kulwo kusilisibwa kwemwe. Kusilisha kwemwe eikola emilimu jinu jilijakisi munyako kwo kwigumilisha eswe ona munyako.
7 Ithemba lethu ngani liqinile ngoba siyakwazi ukuthi njengoba lahlanganyela ekuhluphekeni kwethu, ngokunjalo liyahlanganyela ekududuzweni kwethu.
No kwiikanya kweswe ingulu yeswe ni kulumile. Chimenyele ati mukasangila inyako, nikwo kutyo omusangila okusilisibwa.
8 Kasithandi, bazalwane, ukuba libe ngabangaziyo ngobunzima esabuzwayo esabelweni sase-Ezhiya. Sasilokuncindezeleka okukhulu, okungaphezu kwamandla ethu okuqinisela, saze saphelelwa lalithemba lokuphila.
Kulwokubha chitakwenda emwe mubhe bhamumu, bhaili, ingulu ya jimfulubhendo jinu chaliga chilinajo eyo Asia. Chanyansibhwe okukila kutyo echitula okubhatula, chitabhwene bhwiikanyo bhwa kwikala lindi.
9 Impela isigwebo sokufa sasizwa ezinhliziyweni zethu. Kodwa lokhu kwenzakala ukuze singazithembi thina ngokwethu kodwa uNkulunkulu, ovusa abafileyo.
Chimali, chaliga chili na indamu yo lufu ingulu yeswe. Nawe eyo yaliga ilikuchikola eswe chisige okubha nobhiikanyo ingulu yeswe eswe, nawe chibhe nobhwiikanyo ku Nyamuanga, unu kachisulula abhafuye.
10 Wasihlenga engozini ebulalayo, njalo uzasikhulula. Ithemba lethu silibeke kuye ukuba uzaqhubeka esihlenga,
Achikisishe eswe okusoka mulufu, na kachichungula lindi. Chatee kumwene obhubhasi bhweswe kumwene ati kachichungula lindi.
11 lapho lisisiza ngemikhuleko yenu. Abanengi bazasibongela ngomusa omangalisayo esiwuphiweyo kuyimpendulo yemikhuleko yabanengi.
Akola kutyo kwimwe ona omusakilana kulwo kusabwa kwemwe. Kutyo abhafu bhalisima kwe chigongo chinu chiyanibwe eswe okulabhila lisabwa lya bhafu.
12 Thina sizincoma ngokuthi izazela zethu ziyafakaza ukuthi siziphathe kuhle emhlabeni, ikakhulu phakathi kobudlelwano bethu lani, ngobungcwele langobuqotho obuvela kuNkulunkulu. Lokhu kasikwenzanga sigxile ekuhlakanipheni kwasemhlabeni, kodwa ngomusa kaNkulunkulu.
Echikuisha linu: obhubhambasi bhwe mitima jeswe. Kulwokubha nikulwobhwiganilisha bhwakisi no bhwelu bhwa Nyamuanga ati chalibhatilega eswe abhene muchalo. Chikolele kutya amwi nemwe, na atali mubhwengeso bhwe chalo, nawe chikolele muchigongo cha Nyamuanga.
13 Ngoba kasililobeli ngolutho elingeke lilubale loba liluqedisise. Njalo ngiyathemba ukuthi,
Chitakubhandikila chona chona chinu mutakutula kuchisoma no kuchisombokelwa.
14 njengoba seliqedisisa okunye ngathi, lizaqedisisa ngokupheleleyo lizincome ngathi njengoba lathi sizazincoma ngani ngosuku lweNkosi uJesu.
Nili no bhubhasi ati kwolubhaju mwamalile ochimenya. Nili nobhubhasi ati kulusiku lwa Latabhugenyi Yesu chilibha nsonga yemwe ingulu ye chigundu chemwe, lwakutyo mulibha kwiswe.
15 Ngoba ngangilethemba kulokhu, ngangifuna ukwethekelela lina kuqala ukuze lisizakale kabili.
Kwo kubha naliga no bwiikanyo kulinu, nendaga okuja kwemwe kubwambilo, koleleki mutule okulamila ifaida yo kulibhatilwa lwa kabhili.
16 Ngangifuna ukulethekelela ekuyeni kwami eMasedoniya, ngedlule kini futhi sengivela eMasedoniya, beselingithuma-ke eJudiya.
Naliga ninenda okubhalibhatila omwanya okwinganilila Makedonia. Lindi nendaga okubhalibhatila lindi omwanya nisubha okusoka Makedonia, mbe emwe omuntuma anye omwanya okwinganilila Bhuyaudi.
17 Ngakunakana ngingabaza yini lokhu? Kumbe ngenza amalungiselelo ami ngendlela yasemhlabeni okokuthi ngasikhathi sinye ngithi, “Yebo, yebo,” ngibuye ngithi, “Hatshi, hatshi,” na?
Ao naliga nikalaliye kutyo, mbe, naliga natalatanyishe? Mbe enenda emisango okwingana no kutula kwa bhanu, koleleki naike “Kutyo, kutyo, na “Uli, uli” kwo mwanya gumwi?
18 Kodwa ngeqiniso njengoba uNkulunkulu ethembekile, ilizwi lethu kini kalisikuthi “Yebo,” lokuthi, “Hatshi.”
Nawe lwa kutyo Nyamuanga ali mwiikanyibwa, chitakwaika byona “Kutyo”na” uli.”
19 Ngoba iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, uJesu Khristu, eyatshunyayelwa kini yimi, uSayilasi kanye loThimothi, yayingasi “Yebo” lo “Hatshi,” kodwa kuyo kokuphela kwakungu “Yebo.”
Kwo kubha omwana wa Nyamuanga, Yesu Kristo unu Silvano, Timotheo nanye chamulasishe mwimwe, atali “Kutyo” na Uli.” unu omwanya gwona ni”Kutyo.”
20 Ngoba lanxa zizinengi kangakanani izithembiso uNkulunkulu azenzileyo zingu “Yebo” kuKhristu. Ngakho ngaye ibizo elithi “Ameni” litshiwo yithi sidumisa uNkulunkulu.
Kwo kubha milago jona ni ja Nyamuanga ni “Kutyo” ali omwene. Kutyo ona okulabhila omwene echaika ati “Amina” kwa likusho lya Nyamuanga.
21 Njalo nguNkulunkulu owenza thina kanye lani siqine kuKhristu. Wasigcoba,
Woli ni Nyamuanga unu kachikomesha eswe amwi nemwe ku Kristo, na achitumile eswe.
22 wasibeka uphawu lwakhe lokuba ngabakhe, wabeka loMoya wakhe ezinhliziyweni zethu njengesibambiso, esipha isiqiniseko sokuzayo.
Atulileo.............. ingulu yeswe achiyae Mwoyo mu mitima jeswe lwa chinu akachiyaye mala.
23 Ngibiza uNkulunkulu njengomfakazi wami ukuthi kangibuyanga eKhorinte ukuze ngingalikhathazi.
Nawe inyuma yejo, enimulembeleja Nyamuanga okumbambalila anye injuno inu yakolele nisige okuja Korintho ntaja kubhanyola emwe.
24 Akusikuthi silibamba ngamandla ekukholweni kwenu kodwa sisebenza lani ukuze lithokoze, ngoba liqiniswa lukholo.
Inu italyati kubha echilegejwa okuganya elikisha lyemwe kutyo eyendibhwa okubha. Nawe inyuma yejo, echikola amwi nemwe ingulu yo bhukondelewe bhwemwe, lwakutyo mwimeleguyu mulikilisha lyemwe.
