2 Woba ulindile, uqinise izinto eziseleyo esezizakufa; ngoba kangitholanga imisebenzi yakho iphelelisiwe phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
Njimuche, ngalimbisye agala gambone gagasigalile kukwenu ni gelego gakaika kuwa. Pakuŵa mpaka sambano nganinagaona masengo genu kuŵa gemalilwe paujo pa Akunnungu wangu.

Nambo nkwete ŵandu ŵangatupa ku Sadi ŵangananyakasya nguo syao. Ŵelewo chajende none ali awete iwalo yeswela pakuŵa akuŵajilwa.
5 Onqobayo, lowo uzagqokiswa izembatho ezimhlophe; futhi kangisoze ngilesule ibizo lakhe egwalweni lwempilo, njalo ngizalivuma ibizo lakhe phambi kukaBaba, laphambi kwengilosi zakhe.

6 Olendlebe kezwe lokho uMoya akutshoyo emabandleni.
“Jwakwete mapilikanilo gakupilikanila, apilikane agala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu gakwasalila mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
7 Lakuso isithunywa sebandla eliseFiladelfiya bhala uthi: Lezizinto utsho oNgcwele, oQotho, olesihluthulelo sikaDavida, ovula njalo kungavali muntu, avale futhi kungavuli muntu:
“Kwa katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa ku Filadefia mwalembele yelei. “Yeleyi ni yakuti kusala ajula jwanswela ni jwausyenesyene, jwakwete ukombole wa kwalechela ŵandu ajinjile mu umwenye wakwe.

Mpilikane! Ngumpa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵa nyuumba ja kupopelela ja Shetani, ŵakuliŵilanga Ŵayahudi nambo nganaŵa ŵayahudi, nambo ali ŵakulambusya. Mpilikane! Chinaatende aichanje ni kuntindiŵalila paujo pa sajo syenu ni amanyilile kuti nannonyele.
10 Ngoba ugcinile ilizwi lokubekezela kwami, lami ngizakulondoloza kuhola lokulingwa okuzafika emhlabeni wonke, ukulinga abakhileyo phezu komhlabathi.
Pakuŵa nlikamulisye liloŵe nkupililila, none jwakwe chinangose katema ka malagasyo, kakali chile kuchiichilila chilambo chose, kuti ŵaalinje ŵelewo ŵakutama pachilambo.

12 Onqobayo, ngizamenza insika ethempelini likaNkulunkulu wami; njalo kasoze aphinde aphume phandle, futhi ngizabhala ibizo likaNkulunkulu wami phezu kwakhe, lebizo lomuzi kaNkulunkulu wami, iJerusalema entsha, eyehla ivela ezulwini kuNkulunkulu wami, lebizo lami elitsha.
“Juchapunde chinantende aŵe luchanamila pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu nombe ngasakopoka mwelemo ng'o. Sooni chilembe pachanya pakwe liina lya Akunnungu ŵangu ni liina lya musi wa Akunnungu ŵangu, yaani Yelusalemu wa sambano, musi uchiutuluche kutyochela kwinani kwa Akunnungu ŵangu.

14 Lakuso isithunywa sebandla lamaLawodikeya bhala uthi: Lezizinto utsho uAmeni, umfakazi othembekileyo loqotho, owokuqala kokudaliweyo kukaNkulunkulu:
“Mwalembele yeleyi katumetume jwa kwinani jwakwimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wa ku Laodikia. “Uneji nguŵilanjikwa Eloo, jwaumboni jwakukulupilichika jwausyene, ndande ja yepanganyikwe yose yaigumbile Akunnungu, nguti yelei.
15 Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, ukuthi njalo kawuqandi futhi kawutshisi. Kungathi ngabe uyaqanda kumbe utshise!
Nguimanyilila ipanganyo yenu, kuti nganimma ŵa kusisima atamuno ŵa mooto. Ikaliji mmbaya nkaliji ŵa kusisima pane ŵa mooto.
16 Ngokunjalo, ngoba ubuthukuthuku, njalo ungaqandi futhi ungatshisi, ngizakukhafula emlonyeni wami.
Nipele pakuŵa ndi ŵantukuta, nganimma ŵa kusisima namuno ŵa mooto, chinanlukule ntyoche mukang'wa jangu.
17 Ngoba uthi: Nginothile, senginothile njalo kangisweli lutho, kanti kawazi ukuthi wena ungohluphekayo lohawulayo longumyanga loyisiphofu lonqunu;
Ligongo nkuti, ‘Ndili jwakusichila ni ngwete ipanje, ngangulajila chindu chachili chose.’ Nambo ngankumanyilila kuti nli jwausauchi ni jwakulaga ni jwaulanda ni jwangalola sooni nli matakope.
18 ngiyakweluleka ukuthi uthenge kimi igolide elicengwe ngomlilo, ukuze unothe; lezembatho ezimhlophe, ukuze wembathe, lehlazo lobuze bakho lingembulwa; njalo ugcobe amehlo akho ngamagcobo amehlo, ukuze ubone.
Ngumpa lunda kuti, nsuume kwangune sahabu jejenjetukule ni mooto, kuti nsichile ni kusuma iwalo yeswela kuti mbwale, ni kusisa soni sya kutama kwenu matakope. Iyoyopeyo nsuume ntela ni kupakala mmeeso genu kuti nkombole kulola.
19 Mina bonke engibathandayo, ngiyabasola ngibatshaye. Ngakho tshiseka uphenduke.
Uneji ngwajamuka ni kwalamula wose ŵangwanonyela. Nipele nlimbile ni kuleka sambi syenu.
20 Khangela, ngimi emnyango ngiqoqoda; uba umuntu esizwa ilizwi lami, abesevula umnyango, ngizangena kuye, ngidle laye, laye lami.
Mpilikane! Ngwima pannango ni kupoposya, mundu apilikanaga liloŵe lyangu ni kuugula, chinyinjile kwa jwelejo, none chilye pamo ni jwelejo ni jwelejo pamo ni une.
21 Onqobayo, ngizamnika ukuthi ahlale lami esihlalweni sami sobukhosi, njengalokhu lami nganqoba, ngasengihlala loBaba esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi.
“Juchapunde chinjalechelela kutama chiŵandi ni une pa chitengu changu cha umwenye, mpela une indite kupunda ni kutama chiŵandi ni Atati ŵangu pachitengu chao cha umwenye.
