2 Umusa kawube kini lokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba wethu leNkosini uJesu Kristu.
Nyasha kwamuri, nerugare rwunobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu nekuna Ishe Jesu Kristu.
3 Ngiyambonga uNkulunkulu wami ekulikhumbuleni konke,
Ndinovonga Mwari wangu pakukurangarirai nguva dzese,
4 ngezikhathi zonke kuwo wonke umkhuleko wami ngani lonke ngincenga ngentokozo,
nguva dzese pamunyengetero wangu wega-wega pamusoro penyu mese ndichiita munyengetero nemufaro,
5 ngokuhlanganyela kwenu evangelini, kusukela osukwini lokuqala kuze kube khathesi;
nekuda kwekudyidzana kwenyu muevhangeri kubva zuva rekutanga kusvikira ikozvino;
6 ngilethemba lakhona lokhu, ukuthi owaqalisa umsebenzi omuhle kini uzawuphelelisa kuze kube sosukwini lukaJesu Kristu;
ndichivimba chinhu ichi, kuti wakatanga basa rakanaka mamuri, acharipedzisa kusvikira zuva raJesu Kristu;
7 njengoba kulungile kimi ukuthi ngikhumbule lokhu ngani lonke, ngoba ngilani enhliziyweni, ukuthi lekubotshweni kwami, lekuvikeleni lekuqiniseleni ivangeli, lina lonke lingabahlanganyeli bomusa wami.
sezvazvakandinakira kufunga izvi pamusoro penyu mese, nokuti ndinemwi mumoyo zvekuti zvese muzvisungo zvangu nemukutavirira nekusimbisa kweevhangeri, imwi mese muri vagovani pamwe neni venyasha.
8 Ngoba uNkulunkulu ungumfakazi wami, wokuthi ngililangatha kangakanani lonke emibilini kaJesu Kristu.
Nokuti Mwari ndiye chapupu changu, kuti ndinokushuvai mese zvikuru sei muura hwaJesu Kristu.
9 Njalo ngikhuleka lokhu, ukuthi uthando lwenu luvame-ke lusanda ngokwanda elwazini lekuqedisiseni konke,
Uye izvi ndinonyengetera, kuti rudo rwenyu rwurambe rwuchiwandisisa paruzivo nekunzwisisa kwese,
10 ukuze lizivume izinto ezinhle kakhulu, ukuze lihlambuluke lingasoleki kuze kube sosukwini lukaKristu,
kuti mutende zvinhu zvakanakisisa, kuti muve vakarurama nevasine mhosva, kusvikira zuva raKristu,
11 ligcwaliswe ngezithelo zokulunga ezingoJesu Kristu, ebukhosini lodumo lukaNkulunkulu.
makazadzwa nezvibereko zvekururama zvinouya naJesu Kristu, pakubwinya nekurumbidzwa kwaMwari.
12 Kodwa ngithanda ukuthi lazi, bazalwane, ukuthi izinto ezangehlelayo zenza kakhulu ukuqhutshelwa phambili kwevangeli;
Zvino ndinoda kuti muzive, hama, kuti zvinhu zvakandiwira zvakaita zvikuru kufambira mberi kweevhangeri;
13 zize izibopho zami kuKristu zibonakale esigodlweni sonke lakwabanye bonke,
zvekuti zvisungo zvangu muna Kristu zvinoratidzwa pamuzinda wese nekuvamwe vese.
14 labazalwane abanengi eNkosini, beqiniswe ngezibopho zami, sebelesibindi esikhulu sokukhuluma ilizwi ngokungesabi.
Nevazhinji vehama muna Ishe, vavimbiswa nezvisungo zvangu, vonyanya kutsunga kutaura shoko raMwari vasingatyi.
15 Abanye kambe batshumayela uKristu ngomona langombango, labanye kambe ngenhliziyo enhle;
Vamwe zvirokwazvo vanoparidza Kristu kunyange negodo negakava, nevamwewo nemoyo wakanaka;
16 laba batshumayela uKristu ngokuphikisana, bengelaqiniso, besithi baletha ukuhlupheka ekubotshweni kwami;
vamwe vanoparidza Kristu nenharo, kwete pauchokwadi, vachifunga kuti vawedzere marwadzo pazvisungo zvangu.
17 kodwa labo ngothando, besazi ukuthi ngimiselwe ukuvikela ivangeli.
Asi vamwe vanoita nerudo, vachiziva kuti ndakagadzirwa kutavirira evhangeri.
18 Kuyini pho? Loba kunjalo kuyo yonke indlela, loba ekuzenziseni, kumbe eqinisweni, uKristu uyatshunyayelwa; kulokhu-ke ngiyathokoza, yebo ngizathokoza futhi.
Zvino chii? Kunyange zvakadaro kunzira dzese, kana mumano-mano kana muchokwadi, Kristu anoparidzwa, uye ndinofara mazviri, hongu ndichazofarazve.
19 Ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi lokhu kuzaphendukela kimi esindisweni ngomkhuleko wenu, langokwelekelela kukaMoya kaJesu Kristu,
Nokuti ndinoziva kuti izvi zvichashandukira kwandiri kuva ruponeso kubudikidza nemunyengetero wenyu, nerubatsiro rweMweya waJesu Kristu,
20 njengokulindela okukhulu lethemba lami, ukuthi kangiyikuyangiswa ngalutho, kodwa ngesibindi sonke, njengesikhathi sonke, lakhathesi uKristu uzakhuliswa emzimbeni wami, loba ngempilo, kumbe ngokufa.
zvichienderana nekutarisira kwangu kukuru netariro, kuti handinganyadziswi pachinhu asi neushingi hwese samagariro uye ikozvino Kristu achakudzwa mumuviri wangu, kana neupenyu, kana nerufu.
21 Ngoba kimi ukuphila kunguKristu, lokufa kuyinzuzo.
Nokuti kwandiri kurarama ndiKristu, uye kufa mubairo.
22 Kodwa uba ukuphila enyameni kuyisithelo somsebenzi kimi, lengizakukhetha kangikwazi.
Asi kana kurarama panyama chiri chibereko chebasa rangu; zvino zvandichasarudza handizivi.
23 Ngoba ngiminyezelwe ngokubili; ngilesifiso sokusuka lokuba loKristu, okungcono kakhulukazi;
Nokuti ndiri mukumanikidzwa pakati pezviviri, ndine chishuwo chekubva nekuva naKristu, zvinopfuurisa pakunaka;
24 kodwa ukuhlala enyameni kuyasweleka kakhulu ngenxa yenu.
asi kugara munyama kunonyanyisa kudiwa nekuda kwenyu.
25 Njalo ngilalelithemba ngiyazi ukuthi ngizakuba khona, ngihlale lani lonke, ekuqhubekeni kwenu lentokozweni yokholo,
Zvino ndine chivimbo ichi, ndinoziva kuti ndichagara, ndicharamba ndigere nemwi mese, pakupfuurira kwenyu mberi, uye mufaro werutendo,
26 ukuze ukuzincoma kwenu ngami kwengezwe kuKristu Jesu kimi, ngobukhona bami kini futhi.
kuti kuzvirumbidza kwenyu kuwande muna Kristu Jesu pamusoro pangu kubudikidza nekuvapo kwangu kwamurizve.
27 Kuphela hambani ngokufanele ivangeli likaKristu, kuze kuthi, loba ngifika ngilibona, loba ngingekho, ngizwe indaba zenu, zokuthi limi emoyeni munye, ngangqondonye lilwela ukholo lwevangeli ndawonye,
Chete fambai zvakafanira evhangeri yaKristu, kuti kunyange ndikauya ndikakuonai, kunyange kusavapo, ndinzwe nyaya dzenyu kuti mumire nesimba mumweya umwe, nemoyo umwe muchirwira pamwe rutendo rweevhangeri;
28 njalo lingethuswa ngalutho ngabaphikisayo; okuyisibonakaliso kubo sokubhubha, kodwa kini esosindiso, njalo lokhu kuvela kuNkulunkulu;
uye musingatyityidzirwi nevanopikisa pachinhu chimwe; ndicho chiratidzo chekuparadzwa kwavari, asi kwamuri cheruponeso, uye icho chinobva kuna Mwari.
29 ngoba lanikwa ngesihle esikhundleni sikaKristu, kungeyisikho ukukholwa kuye kuphela, kodwa lokumhluphekela;
Nokuti kwamuri kwakapiwa pachena pachinzvimbo chaKristu, kwete kutenda kwaari kwega, asi kumutambudzikirawo;
30 lilokulwa okufananayo njengalokho elakubona kimi, lelikuzwa kimi khathesi.
mune kurwa kumweko sekwamakaona mandiri, nekunzwa ikozvino mandiri.
