1 KuThimothi 3
1 Lithembekile ilizwielithi: Uba umuntu efisa isikhundla sombonisi, ufisa umsebenzi omuhle;
Ali liloŵe li lili lya usyene lyati, naga mundu asakaga aŵe chilongola jwa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, akulajila masengo gambone.
2 ngakho kumele ukuthi umbonisi abe ngongasolekiyo, indoda yomfazi munye, ozithintayo, oqondileyo, oziphatha ngokufaneleyo, ophatha kuhle izihambi, olelisu lokufundisa;
Nipele chilongola akusachilwa aŵeje mundu jwangali chileŵo, akusachilwa aŵeje ni ŵankwakwe ŵamope ni jwangakutolwa ni jwalunda ni jwakulichimbichisya ni jwapochela achalendo ni jwakukombola kwiganya.
3 angabi yisidakwa, angabi ngothanda ukulwa, anganxwaneli inzuzo embi, kodwa abe mnene, angabi ngothanda ukuxabana, angabi ngothanda imali;
Ngakusachilwa aŵe jwakolelwa ni jwaumenyani, nambo aŵeje jwakulitimalika ni jwakusaka chitendewele, atamuno jwangakunonyela nnope mbiya.
4 ephatha kuhle owakhe umuzi, elabantwana abalalela ngenhlonipho yonke,
Akusachilwa aŵeje mundu jwakwajimilila uchenene ŵandu ŵaali mu nyuumba jakwe ni kwajiganya achiŵanagwe aŵe ŵa kupilikanichisya kwa luchimbichimbi lose.
5 ngoba uba umuntu engakwazi ukuphatha owakhe umuzi, angaligcina njani ibandla likaNkulunkulu?
Pakuwa iŵaga mundu ngakukombola kwajimilila uchenene ŵandu wa mu nyuumba jakwe, chakombole chinauli kuujimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito yaani ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu?
6 Kangabi ngosanda ukukholwa, hlezi ngokukhukhunyezwa awele ekulahlweni kukadiyabhola.
Ngakusachilwa aŵe jwakukulupilila jwasambano, atakulifuna ni kugwa ni kulamulikwa mpela ila iyaliji kwa Shetani.
7 Kumele futhi ukuthi abe lobufakazi obuhle kwabangaphandle, hlezi awele ekuthukweni lemjibileni kadiyabhola.
Sooni ikummajila aŵe mundu jwaali ni umboni wambone pasikati ja ŵandu ŵa paasa pa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, kuti atakunyeluswa ni kugwa pa chitanje cha Shetani.
8 Ngokunjalo abadikoni bahlonipheke, bangabi ndimimbili, bangananzi iwayini elinengi, bangafisi inzuzo embi,
Iyoyopeyo ŵakupanganya masengo ga kwakamusya ŵandu ŵane ŵaali mu mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito aŵeje ŵaali ni lwendo lwambone ni ŵandu ŵakusala chindu chimo ni ŵangakung'wa nkologo kwannope ni ŵandu ŵangali ni lipamo.
9 babambe imfihlo yokholo esazeleni esimhlophe.
Akusachilwa kukamulangana kwannope ni usyene wausisikwe wa chikulupi kwa nningwa wambone.
10 Laba-ke kabaqale bahlolwe, okulandelayo kabakhonze uba bengasoleki.
Ikuŵajilwa alinjikwe kaje ni awonekaga kuti akufai nipele apanganye masengo ga ukamusi.
11 Ngokunjalo omkabo babe ngabahloniphekayo, abanganyeyiyo, abazithintayo, bethembekile ezintweni zonke.
Achakongwe ŵao iyoyo aŵe ŵandu ŵa mbili jambone, akaŵa ŵakulambusya, ni aŵeje ni ukombole wakulitawala ni ŵakukulupilichika mu yose.
12 Abadikoni kababe ngamadoda amfazi munye, aphatha kuhle abantwana leyawo imizi.
Jwakupanganya masengo ga kuukamusya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, aŵe mundu jwa ŵankwawo ŵamo pe ni kwalongosya achiŵanagwe uchenene pamo ni ŵandu ŵaali mu nyuumba jao.
13 Ngoba abakhonze kuhle bazizuzela isimilo esihle, lesibindi esikhulu ekholweni olukuKristu Jesu.
Pakuŵa ŵakamusi ŵakupanganya masengo uchenene akulapikwa ni ŵandu, nombewo akupakombola kwasalila ŵandu chikulupi chakwete nkulumbikana ni Che Yesu Kilisito pangajogopa.
14 Lezizinto ngikubhalela zona, ngithemba ukuza kuwe masinyane;
Ngunnembela chikalata chi, akuno ndi ngulolela kwika kukwenu pangakaŵa.
15 kodwa uba ngibambeka, ukuze wazi ukuthi kufanele uziphathe njani endlini kaNkulunkulu, elibandla likaNkulunkulu ophilayo, insika lesisekelo seqiniso.
Nambo naga chingaŵe kwika, chikalata chi chichimmanyisye lwendo lwa ŵandu yalukuti kusachilwa kuŵa mu nyuumba ja Akunnungu, yaani mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito. Ŵandu wo ali chimila ni nsingi wa usyene ni ali ŵandu ŵakwe Akunnungu ŵajumi.
16 Kuyavunywa-ke ukuthi yinkulu imfihlo yokukhonza uNkulunkulu: UNkulunkulu wabonakaliswa enyameni, wathiwa ulungile kuMoya, wabonwa zingilosi, watshunyayelwa ezizweni, wakholeka emhlabeni, wenyuselwa ebukhosini.
Usyene, nganitukola lipamba nkati usyene wa chikulupi chekulu chachiunukulikwe, usyene wo ni kuti, Ŵelewo ŵawonechekwe mu chiilu cha chiundu, ŵaŵalanjikwe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kuti ali ŵakupanganya yakusaka Akunnungu, ŵaloleche ni katumetume jwa kwinani. Ŵalalichikwe pasikati ja ŵandu ŵa ilambo, ŵakulupilichikwe papali pose mu chilambo, ŵanyakulikwe kwinani mu ukulu.
