1 Saka naizvozvo, vanhu vanofanira kutiona savaranda vaKristu uye savaya vakaitwa vachengeti vezvakavanzika zvaMwari.
Neco, mobantu amwe kamutubonangeti basebenshi ba Klistu bapewa kwendelesha ne kukambauka makani amaseseke a Lesa.
2 Zvino zvakafanira kuti vaya vakapiwa utariri vave vakatendeka.
Cilayandikinga kuli bantu bapewa ncito iyi nikuba bashomeka ku Mwami wabo.
3 Chinhu chiduku duku kwandiri kana ndichitongwa nemi kana dare ripi zvaro romunhu; zvirokwazvo handizvitongi pachangu.
Nambi mung'ombolosha nambi komboloshewa kunkuta iliyonse yabantu, cakubinga nicakwambeti ndiya naco ncito, nkandela kulyombolosha ndemwine.
4 Hana yangu yakachena, asi izvi hazviiti kuti ndive munhu akarurama. Ishe ndiye anonditonga.
Nkandayeyengeti pali ncondalepisha, nsombi nkandambangeti ndiya kampenda sobwe, nsombi Mwami Lesa mwine ambeteke.
5 Naizvozvo, regai kutonga chinhu nguva isati yasvika; chimbomirai kusvikira Ishe auya. Achaisa pachena zvakavanzwa murima uye acharatidza mifungo yemwoyo yavanhu. Panguva iyoyo mumwe nomumwe acharumbidzwa naMwari.
Neco kamutombolosha muntu uliyense cindi celela nkacitana cishika. Kombolosha kwakumapwililisho kwela kwinshika Mwami akesa, neco lakayubululunga byonse byasolekwa mu mushinshe nekubika patuba miyeyo yabantu, Lesa nakalumbaishe muntu uliyense kwelana nencito shakendi.
6 Zvino, hama dzangu, ndakaita zvinhu izvi kuupenyu hwangu uye nokuna Aporosi nokuda kwenyu, kuitira kuti mudzidze kubva kwatiri zvinoreva chirevo chokuti, “Usaita zvinopfuura zvakanyorwa.” Ipapo hamungazvikudzi pamusoro pomumwe munhu muchimuenzanisa nomumwe.
Neco mobanse ndambanga makani awa pali njame ne Apolo, ndambangeco pacebo cenu kwambeti mwiye kulinjafwe ncolapandululunga mwambo ulambangeti, “Konkani cena bintu byalembwa.” Ndayandanga kwambeti mucileke cinga cakulisumpula ne kusulana pakati penu cebo cakwambeti mobambi mulakonkelenga umo nekusampula naumbi.
7 Nokuti ndianiko akakutsaura iwe kubva kuno mumwe? Chiiko chaunacho chausina kupiwa? Zvino kana wakapiwa, seiko uchizvikudza sousina kupiwa?
Niyani walamupa ngofu shakulisumpula? Nicani ncomukute ico ncemwabula kupewa ne Lesa? Na mwalensa kupewa, inga kulisumpula kwenu kulafumunga kupeyo?
8 Matova nezvose zvamunoda kare! Makatopfumiswa kare! Mava madzimambo, uye isu tisipo! Ndinoshuva sei kuti dai makava madzimambo kuitira kuti tigova madzimambo pamwe chete nemi!
Mulekutu kendi? Sena mulaba babile kendi? Sena mulaba bami kendi, afwe katutana? Ee ndayandishishinga kwambeti mube bami, mpani ingatumantamo lubasu lwakombolosha pamo mu bwami.
9 Nokuti ini ndinoona kuti Mwari akatigadza kuti tive vapostori vanoonekwa pakupedzisira, savanhu vakatongerwa rufu. Takaitwa chiseko kunyika yose, kuvatumwa uyewo nokuvanhu.
Ame ndacibonongeti Lesa walatubika kuba batumwa mwabula kwelela, tulyeti bantu basungwa balenga akufwa, tulasekwanga ne bonse mucishi, bangelo nebantu.
10 Tiri mapenzi nokuda kwaKristu, asi imi makachenjera kwazvo muna Kristu! Isu tinoshayiwa simba, asi imi mune simba! Munokudzwa, isu tinozvidzwa!
Tulabanga bashilu cebo ca Klistu, nsombi amwe Klistu lamupa mano. Afwe tulabulu ngofu kayi tulapelwa, amwe mulaba nengofu nebulemu.
11 Kusvikira panguva ino isu tine nzara, uye tine nyota, takapfeka mamvemve, tinorohwa zvakaoma kwazvo, hatina pokugara.
Mpaka lelo tulanyumfunga nsala, tuliya menshi akunwa, tulafwalangowa masankunya, tulomwanga, kayi tuliya pakwikala.
12 Tinoshanda nesimba namaoko edu. Kana tikatukwa tinoropafadza; kana tichitambudzwa, tinotsungirira;
Tulasebensenga cangofu, kayi bantu batubepesha tukute kubasengela kuli Lesa kwambeti abaleleke, twacana mapensho tukute kwikalika cali.
13 kana tichipomerwa mhosva, tinopindura zvinyoronyoro. Kusvikira panguva ino takaitwa setsvina yenyika, marara enyika.
Muntu atutukana tukute kumukumbula mwabulemu. Lelo tulabonekengeti ndala shapacishi capanshi nambi bintu mbyobasula bantu.
14 Handisi kukunyorerai izvi kuti ndikunyadzisei, asi kuti ndikuyambirei, savana vangu vandinoda.
Nkandalembenga kwambeti ndimunyumfwishe nsoni sobwe, nsombi ndayandanga kumulesha cakwinsa, pakwinga mobana bame mbonsuni.
15 Kunyange zvazvo mune vachengeti vanosvika zviuru gumi muna Kristu, hamuna madzibaba mazhinji, nokuti muna Kristu Jesu ndakava baba venyu kubudikidza nevhangeri.
Inga kuba beshikwiyisha bangi bela bamwiyisha makani a Klistu, nsombi muliya bameshenu bangi, ame ndalabeti Ishenu mubwikalo bwenu muli Klistu, cebo cakwambeti ndalamukambaukila makani a Klistu Yesu.
16 Naizvozvo ndinokukumbirai zvikuru kuti muve vateveri vangu.
Neco ndasengenga kwambeti mukonkele ncondenshinga.
17 Nokuda kwechikonzero ichi ndatuma Timoti kwamuri, mwana wangu wandinoda, akatendeka muna She. Achakuyeuchidzai mararamiro angu muna Kristu Jesu, zvinoenderana nezvandinodzidzisa kwose kwose mukereke dzose.
Ecebo cakendi ncendalatumina Timoti kuli njamwe mwaname mubwikalo bwa ciklistu ngonsuni washoma Lesa, nakese akamwanushe shabwikalo bwakame muli Klistu bwelana ne nconkute kwiyisha mumibungano yonse ya bantu ba Lesa.
18 Vamwe venyu vava kuzvikudza, sokunonzi handisi kuzouya kwamuri.
Nabambi balatatiki kulisumpula eti ame nteti nkeseko uko.
19 Asi ndichauya kwamuri nokukurumidza, kana Ishe achida, uye handizotsvaki chete kuti vanhu ava vanozvikudza vari kutaura sei, asi kutiwo vane simba rakadii.
Nsombi na Mwami ansumunishe ndesanga uko linolino, neco ndakesoko, ninkepushe sha makani ngobalambanga, kayi nengofu isho nshobalasebenseshenga abo balalisumpulunga.
20 Nokuti umambo hwaMwari hahuzi pakutaura bedzi asi pasimba.
Pakwinga Bwami bwa Lesa nkabulipo mumaswi onkowa sobwe, nsombi mumicito yangofu.
21 Munodeiko? Ndiuye kwamuri neshamhu here, kana norudo uye nomweya wounyoro?
Lino nicani ncemulayandanga? Sena nkese ne musako nambi nkese ne lusuno ne moyo wakulicepesha?
