1 Bonke abangaphansi kwejogwe, izigqili, kabathi amakhosi abo afanele konke ukuhlonitshwa, ukuze ibizo likaNkulunkulu lemfundiso kungahlanjazwa;
Onse amene ali mu ukapolo ayenera kuona ambuye awo ngati oyenera kuwachitira ulemu, kuti anthu anganyoze dzina la Mulungu ndi chiphunzitso chathu.
2 labalamakhosi akholwayo bangawadeleli, ngoba engabazalwane; kodwa kulalokhu kabawasebenzele, ngoba ekholwa njalo ethandeka, abahlanganyeli benzuzo. Fundisa njalo ukhuthaze lezizinto.
Amene ambuye awo ndi okhulupirira, asawapeputse chifukwa ambuye ndi abale mʼchikhulupiriro. Mʼmalo mwake akuyenera kuwatumikira bwino chifukwa ambuye wawo ndi okondedwa monga okhulupirira ndiponso ndi odzipereka kusamalira akapolo awo. Zinthu izi ukuyenera kuziphunzitsa ndi kuwalamula anthu.
3 Uba kukhona ofundisa okwehlukileyo, njalo engavumelani lamazwi aphilileyo, aweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, lemfundiso evumelana lokukhonza uNkulunkulu,
Ngati wina aphunzitsa zosiyana ndi zimenezi, wosagwirizana ndi malangizo woona a Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu ndi chiphunzitso cholemekeza Mulungu,
4 uyazikhukhumeza, engazi lutho, kodwa ubulawa yinkani lemibuzo lokuphikisana ngamazwi, okuvela kukho umona, umbango, ukuthuka, imicabango emibi,
ameneyo ndi wodzitukumula ndipo sakudziwa chilichonse. Iyeyo ali ndi maganizo oyipa, wokonda kusemphana mawu ndi kutsutsana. Zimenezi zimabweretsa nsanje, mikangano, mʼnyozo, kuganizirana zoyipa,
5 ukuxabaxabana kwabantu abangqondo yabo yonakele, labalahlekelwe liqiniso, besithi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu kuyindlela yenzuzo. Zehlukanise labanjalo.
ndi kulimbana kosatha pakati pa anthu amitima yopotoka amene alandidwa choonadi ndipo amaganiza kuti kulemekeza Mulungu ndi njira yopezera chuma.
6 Kodwa ukukhonza uNkulunkulu lokwenela kuyinzuzo enkulu;
Koma kulemekeza Mulungu kuli ndi phindu lalikulu.
7 ngoba kasizanga lalutho emhlabeni; kusobala ukuthi kasiyikusuka lalutho;
Pakuti sitinabweretse kanthu mʼdziko lapansi, ndipo sitingatengenso kanthu pochoka mʼdziko lapansi.
8 kodwa uba silokudla lezembatho sizakweneliswa yikho.
Koma ngati tili ndi chakudya ndi zovala, zimenezi zitikwanire.
9 Kodwa abafisa ukunotha bawela ekulingweni lemjibileni, lenkanukweni ezinengi zobuphukuphuku ezilimazayo, ezicwilisela abantu encithakalweni lekubhujisweni;
Anthu amene amafuna kulemera amagwa mʼmayesero ndi mu msampha ndi mʼzilakolako zambiri zopusa ndi zoopsa zimene zimagwetsera anthu mʼchitayiko ndi mʼchiwonongeko.
10 ngoba uthando lwemali luyimpande yakho konke okubi; abanye beyifisa, baduhile ekholweni, bazigwaza ngenhlungu ezinengi.
Pakuti kukonda ndalama ndiye muzu wa zoyipa za mitundu yonse. Anthu ena ofunitsitsa ndalama, asochera ndipo asiya njira yachikhulupiriro ndipo adzitengera zowawitsa zambiri.
11 Kodwa wena, O muntu kaNkulunkulu, balekela lezizinto; njalo udingisise ukulunga, ukwesaba uNkulunkulu, ukholo, uthando, ukubekezela, ubumnene.
Koma iwe, munthu wa Mulungu, thawa zinthu zonsezi. Tsatira chilungamo, moyo wolemekeza Mulungu, chikhulupiriro, chikondi, kupirira ndi kufatsa.
12 Lwana ukulwa okuhle kokholo, ubambelele empilweni ephakade, owabizelwa kuyo, wavuma uvumo oluhle phambi kwabafakazi abanengi. (aiōnios )
Menya nkhondo yabwino yachikhulupiriro. Gwiritsitsa moyo wosatha umene anakuyitanira pamene unavomereza bwino lomwe pamaso pa mboni zambiri. (aiōnios )
13 Ngiyakulaya phambi kukaNkulunkulu ophilisa konke, loKristu Jesu owafakaza uvumo oluhle phambi kukaPontiyusi Pilatu,
Ndikukulamula pamaso pa Mulungu amene amapatsa moyo zinthu zonse, ndiponso pamaso pa Khristu Yesu amene pochitira umboni pamaso pa Pontiyo Pilato, ananena zoona zenizeni.
14 ukuthi ugcine umthetho ungelasici, ungasoleki, kuze kube sekubonakaleni kweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu,
Usunge lamuloli mopanda banga ndi cholakwa kufikira Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu ataonekera.
15 ozakubonakalisa ngezakhe izikhathi obusisiweyo loSomandla oyedwa, iNkosi yamakhosi, loMbusi wababusi,
Pa nthawi yake Mulungu adzamubweretsa kwa ife. Mulungu ndi wodalitsika ndipo Iye yekha ndiye Wolamulira, Mfumu ya mafumu, Mbuye wa ambuye.
16 yena yedwa olokungafi, ohlala ekukhanyeni okungelakusondelelwa, akulamuntu ebantwini owambonayo, kumbe ongambona; okukuye udumo lamandla aphakade. Ameni. (aiōnios )
Ndiye yekha wosafa ndipo amakhala mʼkuwala koopsa. Mulungu amene munthu aliyense sanamuone. Kwa Iye kukhale ulemu ndi mphamvu mpaka muyaya. Ameni. (aiōnios )
17 Laya abanothileyo emhlabeni wakhathesi ukuthi bangazigqaji, bangathembeli ekungaqondini kwenotho, kodwa kuNkulunkulu ophilayo osipha ngokunotha zonke izinto ukuze sithokoze, (aiōn )
Anthu onse amene ali ndi chuma uwalamule kuti asanyade kapena kuyika mitima yawo pa chuma chimene nʼchosadalirika. Koma chiyembekezo chawo chikhale mwa Mulungu amene amatipatsa mowolowamanja zonse zotisangalatsa. (aiōn )
18 benze okuhle, banothe emisebenzini emihle, balungele ukupha, ukwabelana ngesihle,
Uwalamule kuti azichita zabwino, kuti azikhala olemera pa ntchito zabwino, owolowamanja ndi okonda kugawana zinthu zawo ndi anzawo.
19 bazibekele isisekelo esihle sibekelwa okuzayo, ukuze babambe impilo elaphakade.
Potero adzadziwunjikira chuma chokhalitsa ngati maziko okhazikika a nthawi zakutsogolo, kuti akalandire moyo, umene ndi moyo weniweni.
20 O Timothi, londoloza kuhle okubekwe kuwe, uxwaye ukukhuluma okuyize okungcolileyo lokuphikisana kwalokho okuthiwa lulwazi kungeyisilo,
Timoteyo, samalitsa zimene unapatsidwa. Upewe nkhani zopanda pake zosalemekeza Mulungu ndiponso maganizo otsutsana amene amaganizidwa molakwika kuti ndi nzeru.
21 okuthe abanye ngokukuvuma baduha ekholweni. Umusa kawube lawe. Ameni.
Anthu ena chifukwa chovomereza nzeru zotere, asochera nʼkutaya chikhulupiriro chawo. Chisomo chikhale nawe.
