2 KuThimothi 1
1 UPawuli umphostoli kaJesu Kristu ngentando kaNkulunkulu, njengokwesithembiso sempilo ekuKristu Jesu,
Pawulo, mutumwa wa Kkilisito Jesu mukwiinda mu luyando lwaLeza, mukwiinda mu chisyomezyo cha buumi buli muli Kkilisito Jesu,
2 kuTimothi, umntanami othandekayo: Umusa, isihawu, ukuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba, loKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu.
kuli Timoti, mwana muyandwi: Luzyalo, lweetelelo a luumuno kuzwa kuli Leza Taata aKkilisito Jesu Mwaami wesu.
3 Ngiyambonga uNkulunkulu, engimkhonzayo kusukela kubokhokho esazeleni esimhlophe, njengalokhu ngikukhumbula ngokungaphezi emikhulekweni yami ebusuku lemini,
Ndilumba Leza, ngwekomba kuzwa kuli bamataata, amoyo uutakwe kampenda, mbuli mbemuyeya munkombyo zyangu mansiku a sikati.
4 ngilangatha ukukubona, ngikhumbula inyembezi zakho, ukuze ngigcwaliswe ngentokozo,
Mbuli mbendiyeya misozi yako, ndiyandisya kukubona, kuti ndizule alukondo.
5 nxa ngibeka emkhumbulweni ukholo olungelakuzenzisa olukuwe, olwaluhlezi kugogo wakho uLoyisi kuqala lakunyoko uYunike, njalo ngithemba ukuthi lukhona lakuwe.
Ndali kuyeezegwa alusyomo lwako lwinilwini, oolo lwakali muli banyookulu Loyisi anbanyoko Yunisi, alimwi ndili aakasimpe kuti lulakkala mulinduwe ayebo.
6 Ngenxa yalesisizatho ngiyakukhumbuza ukuthi uvuselele isipho sikaNkulunkulu, esikuwe ngokubekwa kwezandla zami.
Nkenkaako nkendakuyeezezya kuti ubukulusye chipo chaLeza chili mulinduwe chakaba kandikubika maboko.
7 Ngoba uNkulunkulu kasinikanga umoya wobugwala, kodwa owamandla lowothando lowokuqonda.
Nkaambo Leza taakatupa muuya wabuyoofu, pesi wamanguzu a luyando akulibamba.
8 Ngakho ungabi lanhloni ngobufakazi beNkosi yethu, loba ngami isibotshwa sayo; kodwa kumele uhlupheke kanye levangeli njengamandla kaNkulunkulu,
Aboobo utabi eensoni abukamboni bwa Mwaami wesu, na lwangu, Pawulo, mwaange wakwe. Nikuba boobo abila mumachise kuchitila makani mabotu mukwiindila munguzu zyaLeza.
9 owasisindisayo, njalo wasibiza ngobizo olungcwele, kungeyisikho njengemisebenzi yethu kodwa ngokwelakhe icebo langomusa, asinika wona kuKristu Jesu kungakafiki izibanga zezikhathi, (aiōnios g166)
Ngu Leza wakakufutula alimwi wakatwiita alwiito lusalala. Wakachita eezi, kutali kumilimu yesu, pesi mukwiindilila mumakanze aakwe aluzyalo. Wakatupa zintu zyoonse eezi muli Kkilisito Jesu zintu zyoonse nkazitanabawo. (aiōnios g166)
10 kodwa oselubonakaliswe khathesi ngokubonakala koMsindisi wethu uJesu Kristu, owachitha ukufa, waseletha ekukhanyeni impilo lokungabhubhi ngevangeli,
Pesi lino lufutuko lwaLeza lwakayubununwa mukulibonia kwaMufutuli wesu Kkilisito Jesu. NguKkilisito wakamaninsya lufu akweeta buumi butamani kumunika kwiindila mumakani mabotu.
11 engamiselwa lona mina ukuba ngumtshumayeli lomphostoli lomfundisi wezizwe.
Nkaambo kacheechi, nchindakasalwa kuba mukambawusi, mutumwa, alimwi muyiisi.
12 Ngenxa yalesisizatho lami ngiyahlupheka lezizinto, kodwa kangilanhloni; ngoba ngiyamazi engikholwe kuye, njalo ngileqiniso ukuthi ulamandla okulondoloza lokho engikubeke kuye kuze kufike lolosuku.
Akaambo kacheechi ndilafwabila eezi zintu. Pesi nsifwi bweeme, nkaambo ndilizi ooyo ngwesyoma. Ndili aakasimpe kuti ulakonzya kubamba eezyo nzindakamupa kusikila eelyo zuba.
13 Bambelela kusibonelo samazwi aphilileyo owawezwayo kimi, ekholweni lethandweni olukuKristu Jesu.
Bamba chitondeezyo chamajwi aamvwika aayo nguwakamvwa kulindime, alusyomo aluyando eezyo zili muli Kkilisito Jesu.
14 Lokhu okuhle okuphathisiweyo kulondoloze ngoMoya oNgcwele ohlezi kithi.
Zintu zibotu Leza nzyaakakupa, zibambe mukwiinda mu Muuya Uusalala, uukkala mulindiswe.
15 Uyakwazi lokhu, ukuthi bonke abaseAsiya bangihlamuka, okukubo uFigelo loHermogene.
Ulichizi eechi, kuti boonse bakkala kuAsiya bakandipapila. Mukabunga aaka muli Figelasi a Hemojinisi.
16 Sengathi iNkosi inganika umusa indlu kaOnesiforo; ngoba wangivuselela kanengi, njalo wayengelanhloni ngeketane lami,
Mwaami ngape luzyalo kun'anda ya Onesifolasi, nkaambo wakali kundibukulusya alimwi taakaba aamawuse aakwaangwa kwangu.
17 kodwa ekufikeni kwakhe eRoma, wangidingisisa kakhulu wasengithola;
Nikubaboobo, nakali kuLoma, wakandiyanduula chabusungu, alimwi wakandijana.
18 sengathi iNkosi ingamnika ukuthi athole isihawu eNkosini ngalolosuku; lokuthi zingaki izinto angenzela zona eEfesu, uyakwazi wena kuhle kakhulu.
Mwaami amujanie luzyalo kulinguwe muli eelyo zuba. Nzila zyoonse nzyakandigwasya mu Efeso, ulizi kabotu.
