1 Bakolinto 16
1 “Lino kwamba sha makani a kubenga mali akunyamfwilisha baklistu banetu bali mu Yudeya, ndambangeti mwinse mbuli ncondalambila mibungano ya mucimpansha ca Galatiya.”
BUT concerning what is collected for the saints, as I have instructed the churches of Galatia, so also do you.
2 Uku okwambeti sondo ne sondo muntu uliyense abikenga pambali mali kwelana mbuli ncabele mwine pang'anda, kwambeti kakutakaba kubenga ne kubunganya mali cindi ncotinkese kwenu uko.
On each first day of the week let every one of you at his own house lay by and keep something of that which cometh unto his hands, lest when I come there be then collections.
3 Lino ndakashika, nkacane mwasala bantu beshi bakatwale bipo byenu ku Yelusalemu pamo ne makalata alabapandululunga.
And when I come, those whom you shall choose, them will I send with an epistle, that they may take your bounty to Urishlem.
4 Na cikayandika kwambeti nenjame nkenga, ninkenga pamo nabo.
But if it be a fit work that I too go (thither), they also shall go with me.
5 Pakwisa uko ninkapitile ku Makedoniya pakwinga enkondayeyenga kuya kupitila.
But I will come to you when I shall have passed (round) from Makedunia: for I pass unto it, unto Makedunia.
6 Ninkekale nenu kwa cindi citali, mpani cindi ca mupewo conse, kwambeti mukanyamfweko bintu bilayandikinga mubulwendo ndakafumanga uko ne kuya kulikonse nkoti nkayande kuya.
And perhaps also I may remain with you, or I may winter with you, that you may lead me on to the place to which I shall go.
7 Nkansuni kumufwakashila kwakacindi kang'ana sobwe, nsuni kwambeti na Lesa akasuminishe nkekaleko kwacindi citaliko.
For I will not now see you as I pass the way; for I hope to abide a time with you, if my Lord permit me.
8 Kuno ku Efenso ninjikaleko mpaka cindi ca Pentekosite.
For I remain at Ephesos until the Pentecost.
9 Pakwinga kuno incito ilakonempe nikukabeti kuli bantu bangi bantotekenga.
For a great door is opened to me, which is full of labours, and the opposers are many.
10 Na Timoti akese uko mukamutambule cena kwambeti katakanyumfwa buyowa, pakwinga neye lasebensenga incito ya Mwami iyo njondasebensenga.
But if Timotheos come among you, see that he may be with you without fear; for he doeth the work of the Lord, as I.
11 Kamutakaleka bantu nabambi pakati penu kumunyansha sobwe, mukamunyamfwe mubulwendo bwakendi bwakwisa kuno kulinjame mulumuno, pakwinga ndamupembelelenga kwisa kuno.
Wherefore let no man despise him, but conduct him in peace, that he may come to me; for I wait for him with the brethren.
12 Ndelekeshe tunkanda twingi kumuyuminisha mwanse wetu Apolo kwambeti amufwakashile pamo ne banse nabambi, nomba nkasuni pacino cindi, nakese akacana cindi.
But of Apolo, my brethren, I begged much to come to you with the brethren; nevertheless it was not his will to come to you; but when there shall be opportunity he will come to you.
13 Kamubani bantu babangamana cindi conse, bemana cituloba mu lushomo. Kamubani babula buyowa bakute lushomo lwayuma nta!
WATCH, and stand in the faith; be manful and be strong.
14 Bintu byonse mbyomulenshinga, binshikenga mulusuno.
And let all your affairs be done in love.
15 Mucishi cena kwambeti Stefano pamo neba mung'anda yakendi ebalatanguna kulesha lushomo muli Klistu cimpansha ca Akaya. Balibenga kusebensela baklistu banabo, neco ndamusengenga mobanse bame,
But I entreat of you, my brethren, for the house of Stephano, because you know they are the first-fruits of Akaia, and have disposed themselves for the service of the saints,
16 kamunyumfwilani batangunishi balico, ne bantu bonse balasebensenga cangofu pamo nendibo.
that you be submissive to such as they, and to every one who laboureth with us and helpeth.
17 Ndakondwa kuboneti Stefano, Fotunato, ne Akayasi balesa kuno, cilabeti mwense nkomuli.
But I am glad of the coming of Stephano, and of Fortunatos, and of Akaiakos, because your deficiency with me they have fulfilled.
18 Kwisa kwabo kulantontosho moyo, mbuli ncobalamutontosha myoyo ne njamwe. Kamushako mano ne kubalemeka mubintu mbyobalamwambilinga bantu aba.
For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Wherefore acknowledge those who are such.
19 Mibungano ya bantu ba Lesa ya mucimpansha ca Asiya ilamupanga mitende. Akula ne Prisila pamo ne baklistu bakute kubungana mu ng'anda yabo balamupanga mitende mu Lina lya Mwami Yesu uyo latwikatanyanga pamo.
All the churches of Asia ask for your peace; Akilos and Priskila, with the church which is in their house, ask for your peace greatly in our Lord.
20 Banse bonse kuno balamupanga mitende. Kamupanani mitende yakasala.
All the brethren ask for your peace. Ask the peace of one another with the holy kiss.
21 Kamutambulani mitende njondalembenga ndemwine ame Paulo.
Peace, by the writing of my hand, of PAULOS.
22 Na pali muntu utasuni Lesa, muntuyo abe washinganwa. Ee! Kamwisani linolino Mwami.
Whosoever loveth not our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, let him be accursed. Our Lord cometh.
23 Kwina moyo kunene kwa Mwami Yesu kube nenjamwe.
The grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha be with you.
24 Lusuno lwakame lube kuli bonse bashoma Klistu Yesu.
And my love be with you all in the Meshiha Jeshu Amen.
