< KwabaseFiliphi 2 >
1 Ngakho uba kukhona inkuthazo kuKristu, uba kukhona induduzo yothando, uba kukhona ubudlelwano bukaMoya, uba kukhona imihelo lesihawu,
Kana muine kurudziro inobva pakubatana naKristu, kana paine kunyaradza kunobva parudo rwake, kana pano kuwadzana noMweya, kana paino unyoro netsitsi,
2 gcwalisani intokozo yami, ukuze libe ngqondonye, libe lothando olufananayo, libe lenhliziyonye, ukuqonda kunye;
ipapo itai kuti mufaro wangu uzare nokuva nomurangariro wakadaro, muine rudo rumwe chete, muri vamwe mumweya nechinangwa.
3 lingenzi lutho ngokubangisana kumbe ngokuziqhenya, kodwa ngokuthobeka liphakamise omunye komunye ngcono kulani;
Musaita chinhu nomwoyo wokuchiva kana kuzvikudza, asi mukuzvininipisa muchionawo vamwe kuti vari nani kupfuura imi.
4 ngulowo lalowo angakhathaleli okwakhe, kodwa ngulowo lalowo lokwabanye.
Mumwe nomumwe wenyu ngaarege kungotsvaka zvake chete, asi zvavamwewo.
5 Ngoba kawube kini lowomqondo owawukhona lakuKristu Jesu;
Kufunga kwenyu ngakuve sokwaKristu Jesu:
6 owathi esesimeni sikaNkulunkulu, kanakananga ukuthi kuyikuphanga ukulingana loNkulunkulu,
Uyo, kunyange aiva Mwari chaiye, haana kufunga kuti kuenzana naMwari chinhu chingabatisiswa,
7 kodwa wazidela, ethatha isimo senceku, enziwe esimeni sabantu;
asi akazviita chinhu pasina, akatora chimiro chomuranda chaiye, akaitwa somunhu.
8 njalo eficwe elesimo njengomuntu, wazithoba, waba ngolalelayo kwaze kwaba sekufeni, yebo ukufa kwesiphambano.
Uye akati awanikwa ane chimiro chomunhu, akazvininipisa uye akateerera kusvikira pakufa, kunyange rufu pamuchinjikwa.
9 Ngakho laye uNkulunkulu wamphakamisa kakhulu, wamnika ibizo eliphezu kwalo lonke ibizo;
Naizvozvo Mwari akamukudza panzvimbo yapamusoro-soro, uye akamupa zita riri pamusoro pamazita ose,
10 ukuze kuthi ebizweni likaJesu lonke idolo liguqe, elabezulwini, lelabemhlabeni, lelabangaphansi komhlaba,
kuti muzita raJesu mabvi ose apfugame, mudenga napanyika uye napasi penyika,
11 lenlimi zonke zivume ukuthi uJesu Kristu uyiNkosi, kube ludumo kuNkulunkulu uYise.
uye ndimi dzose dzipupure kuti Jesu Kristu ndiye Ishe, kuti Mwari Baba vakudzwe.
12 Ngakho, bathandiweyo bami, njengalokho lilalela ngezikhathi zonke, kungenjengebukhoneni bami kuphela, kodwa khathesi ikakhulukazi ngingekho, fezani usindiso lwenu ngokwesaba langokuthuthumela;
Naizvozvo, shamwari dzangu dzinodiwa, sezvamunogara muchiteerera, kwete ndiripo bedzi, asi zvino zvikuru ndisipo, rambai muchishandira ruponeso rwenyu nokutya nokudedera,
13 ngoba kunguNkulunkulu osebenza kini kokubili ukuthanda lokwenza njengentando yakhe enhle.
nokuti ndiMwari anoshanda mukati menyu kuti mude uye muite maererano nokuda kwake kwakanaka.
14 Yenzani zonke izinto kungelakusola lokuphikisana,
Itai zvose musinganyunyuti kana kukakavara,
15 ukuze lingasoleki libe msulwa, abantwana bakaNkulunkulu abangelasici phakathi kwesizukulwana esigobileyo lesiphambeneyo, elikhanya phakathi kwaso njengokukhanya emhlabeni,
kuitira kuti mugova vasina chavangapomerwa uye vakachena, vana vaMwari vasina mhosva murudzi urwu rwakakombama uye rwakatsauka, rwamunovhenekera senyeredzi munyika
16 libonakalise ilizwi lempilo, ekuzincomeni kwami osukwini lukaKristu, ukuthi kangigijimelanga ize, njalo kangitshikatshikelanga ize.
sezvamunobatirira pashoko roupenyu, kuitira kuti ndigozvirumbidza pazuva raKristu uye kuti handina kumhanya kana kushanda pasina.
17 Yebo, uba lami ngithululwa njengomnikelo wokunathwayo phezu komhlatshelo lenkonzo yokholo lwenu, ngiyathokoza njalo ngithokoza kanye lani lonke;
Asi kunyange dai ndadururwa hangu sechipiriso chinonwiwa pamusoro pechibayiro noushumiri hunobva pakutenda kwenyu, ndinofara uye ndinofarisisa nemi mose.
18 ngenxa yalokho-ke thokozani lani njalo lithokoze kanye lami.
Saka nemiwo munofanira kufara nokufarisisa neni.
19 Ngiyathemba-ke eNkosini uJesu ukuthuma uTimothi kini masinyane, ukuze lami ngithokoze lapho ngisazi izindaba zenu.
Ndine tariro muna Ishe Jesu kuti nditume Timoti kwamuri nokukurumidza, kuti neniwo ndifare pandichanzwa mashoko pamusoro penyu.
20 Ngoba kangilaye olengqondo enjengeyakhe, ozananzelela indaba zenu ngobuqotho,
Handina mumwe akaita saye, ane hanya kwazvo nokugara kwenyu kwakanaka.
21 ngoba bonke bazidingela okwabo, kungeyisikho okukaKristu Jesu.
Nokuti munhu wose anozvitsvakira zvake, zvisati zviri zvaJesu Kristu.
22 Kodwa liyazi ukuqinisa kwakhe, ukuthi njengomntwana kuyise, usebenzile lami evangelini.
Asi munoziva kuti Timoti akaratidza kutendeka kwake, nokuti somwanakomana ana baba vake akashanda neni mubasa revhangeri.
23 Ngiyathemba-ke ukuhle ngimthume yena, nxa sengibonisisile okuqondene lami;
Naizvozvo, ndine tariro yokuti ndimutume nokukurumidza kana ndaona kuti zvinhu zvinondifambira sei.
24 kodwa ngiyathemba eNkosini, ukuthi lami ngizakuza kini masinyane.
Ndinovimba muna She kuti ini pachangu ndichauya nokukurumidza.
25 Kodwa ngibone kufanele ukuthi ngithume kini uEpafrodithu, umzalwane lesisebenzi lolibutho kanye lami, kodwa isithunywa senu, lesisebenzi sokuswela kwami;
Asi ndinofunga kuti zvakafanira kuti nditumirezve kwamuri Epafrodhitasi, hama yangu, mubati pamwe chete neni uye murwi pamwe chete neni, iye nhume yenyuwo, wamakatuma kuti azondibatsira pane zvandaishayiwa.
26 njengoba wayelilangatha lonke, njalo ekhathazekile kakhulu, ngoba lezwa ukuthi wayegula;
Nokuti anokushuvai mose uye ari kutambudzika nokuti makanzwa kuti akanga achirwara.
27 ngoba njalo wagula waphosa wafa, kodwa uNkulunkulu wamhawukela, njalo kungeyisuye yena yedwa, kodwa lami, ukuze ngingabi losizi phezu kosizi.
Zvechokwadi akanga achirwara, uye akapotsa afa. Asi Mwari akava nengoni naye, uye kwete kwaari oga asi kwandiriwo, kuti ndirege kuva nokusuwa pamusoro pokusuwa.
28 Ngakho ngitshisekela kakhulu ukumthuma, ukuze kuthi, nxa limbona, lithokoze futhi, losizi lwami lunciphe.
Naizvozvo ndinoshinga kwazvo kuti ndimutume, kuti pamunomuonazve mugofara uye ini ndive nokufunganya kushoma.
29 Memukeleni-ke eNkosini ngentokozo yonke, libahloniphe abanjalo-ke;
Mugamuchirei muna She nomufaro mukuru, uye mukudze munhu akaita saiyeye,
30 ngoba ngenxa yomsebenzi kaKristu waphose wafa, edela impilo, ukuze aphelelise okusileleyo komsebenzi wenu kimi.
nokuti akapotsa afa nokuda kwebasa raKristu, akaisa upenyu hwake panjodzi kuti akwanise kubatsira kwamakanga musingagoni kundiitira imi.
