1 UPawuli, inceku kaNkulunkulu, lomphostoli kaJesu Kristu, njengokokholo lwabakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu lolwazi lweqiniso olunjengokukhonza uNkulunkulu,

2 ethembeni lempilo elaphakade, uNkulunkulu ongaqambi manga alithembisa zingakafiki izibanga zesikhathi, (aiōnios )
Turbwngjiku lvgabv mvngtin dubv mvlinrelin jito. Pwknvyarnv mvvmanv, kvvlo atuake lokv ngv soogv turnam am ngonua milvpvvkunamv. (aiōnios )
3 kodwa wabonakalisa ngezikhathi ezifaneleyo ilizwi lakhe ngokutshumayela mina engakuphathiswayo njengokulaya kukaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu,
Okv tarwkbak dw loku ninyigv doin lo hv kaatam toku. Sum nga ritoka vla parlwk toku, okv ngooka ngonugv ringnvbaanv Pwknvyarnv gv mingkulo ngo japgo kartoku.
4 kuTitosi umntanami isibili njengokholo esiluhlanganyele sonke: Umusa, isihawu, ukuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba, leNkosini uJesu Kristu uMsindisi wethu.
Taitusnyi ngo siti go lvkto, ngonugv mvngjwng lvyinakinv ngokv jvjvrungnv kuunyilo. Pwknvyarnv Abu gv okv ringnvbaanv Ahtu Jisu kristo gv Anyuaya okv sarsopoyo nonu gvlo jilwk yilaka.
5 Ngenxa yalokhu ngakutshiya eKrete, ukuze ulungise lezozinto eziseleyo, njalo ubeke abadala kuwo wonke umuzi, njengoba mina ngakulaya;
Nam ngo Kret mooku so doomu gvrinv, ogulvgavbolo vjvgv so risv rijinam mvnwng gv rilakv vnam ridung dunv sum riyapaya dubv okv banggu mvnwng gv gvrja lo rigvdogv nvlo laalwk yadobv mvngla vkvlvgabv so nam doomudunv. Ngoogv minsarpvnam sum mvnggap pvvlaka:
6 uba kukhona ongasolekiyo, indoda elomfazi munye, elabantwana abakholwayo, abangasolwa ngokuganga, loba ngokungalaleli.
Rigvdogv nvgobv ribolo oguguka rimur kaama rungnv gobv rirungdunv; vv nywng akin mvngchik nvgobv rirungtoka, okv vkvgv umvuu ngv mvngjwng nvgobv rirungtoka okv alvmanv yalungyachung amin gvnv gobv rirungmabvka okv tvvma nvgo bvka rirung mabvka.
7 Ngoba kufanele umbonisi abe ngongasolekiyo, njengomphathindlu kaNkulunkulu; ongayisiso siqholo, ongathukutheli masinyane, ongesiso sidakwa, ongathandi ukulwa, ongafisi inzuzo embi,
Vkvlvgabv Pwknvyarnv gv gvrja kudungkua nga rigvdogvnv um kaayadubv klu lokv jilwk dunv, hv rimur nam kaama rungdubv rirungtoka. Hv vdwloka kaimvngsu vmalo biokyibiokcha nvgobv, vmalo tvngkium nvgobv, vmalo tvngngur nvgobv vmalo, morko lvgabv nyilin nvgobv rimare.
8 kodwa ophatha kuhle izihambi, othanda okuhle, oziphathayo, oqondileyo, ongcwele, ozithintayo,
Hv nyen chigamrainv nvgobv okv ogugonv alvpvdw um paknv gobv rirungtoka. Hv saktv nvbv, alv nvbv, darwk nvbv, okv kachingkamu sunv gobv ritoka.
9 ebambelela elizwini elithembekileyo njengokwemfundiso, ukuze laye abe lamandla okukhuthaza ngemfundiso ephilileyo, lokwehlula labo abalenkani.

10 Ngoba kulabanengi labo abangalaleliyo, abakhuluma okuyize labakhohlisayo, ikakhulu labo abokusoka,
Ogulvgavbolo ho hoka achialvgo, asarjvbv bunugv kvbi nyiposoyo vdwa kupnv okv turmilarmi sinv, judaism lokv aanv vdwv rito.
11 imilomo yabo imele ukufakwa isayeke, abagenqula imizi yonke, befundisa izinto ezingafanelanga, ngenxa yenzuzo embi.
Bunugv mindunam sum mintor dukubv rirungdu, ogulvgavbolo bunu rima tvsv yanga rila bunugv tamsarnam lokv vpin dvdv nga mvngru mola riduku, okv hinyinghiru dubv rinam aka morkoain lvgabv bv rinya duku.
12 Omunye kubo, owabo umprofethi, wathi: AmaKrete ahlezi engabaqambimanga, izilo ezimbi, iziminzi ezivilaphayo.
Vv ninyi atubongv kretan go, bunugv atubogv aralo nyijwk akobv rinvgo, vv soogv jvjvnv gaam sum mindu, “Kretan vdwv rukimvvki la ridu, alvmanv svnwngsvmin bv ridu, okv svpelakre la dvdwkdvyit nvbvka ridu.” So lvgabv no dinchirungbv bunua yamtoka, vkvlvgavbolo bunu gvlo mvngjwng ngv vngdwngnam lvgabv.
13 Lobubufakazi buqinisile. Ngalesosizatho balayisise ngobukhali, ukuze baphile ekholweni,
14 bangalaleli inganekwane zamaJuda, lemithetho yabantu abafulathela iqiniso.
Okv kvvlogv jius vdwgv higuhirak okv nyia gamki lokv aanv oogv jvjv nga laarwk simu manv nyi gobv ridu.
15 Kwabahlambulukileyo konke kuhlambulukile; kodwa kwabangcolileyo labangakholwayo kakulalutho oluhlanzekileyo; kodwa lengqondo lezazela zabo kungcolile.
Bunu atubongv yvvdw darwk dunv ogumvnwng vka darwk dunv; vbvritola bunu yvvdw alvmadunv okv mvngjwng madunv oguguka vka darwk madunv, ogulvgavbolo bunugv mongramara okv mvngdw nvnv ngv darwk madu.
16 Bavuma ukuthi bayamazi uNkulunkulu, kodwa bemphika ngezenzo, besenyanyeka, labangalaleliyo, lakuwo wonke umsebenzi omuhle kabasizi lutho.
Bunu vdwv mindu bunu Pwknvyarnvnyi chinpvnv vdu, vbvrijvka bunugv gwngdungridung lo rijwkmadu. Bunu kaanwng manamv okv tvvnwng manamv dodu, ogumvnwng alvnvngv ogu vdw um riyin manv ngv.
