< 1 Timoti 5 >
1 Nkabakansa mukulene, nsombi mwambile mwabulemu pakwinga ulyeti baiso. Misepela banobe ubabonengeti bakwenu,
2 batukashi bamakulene ubabonengeti banyoko, ne batukashi batwanike ubabonengeti bakwenu kwakubula kubakumbwa.
3 Kopa bulemu bamukalubingi babula pakwikata.
4 Nomba na mukalubingi ukute bana, nambi bashikulu, abo bana ne bashikulu batangune kwinshila mukowa wabo ncalayandanga Lesa. Mukwinseco bakute kubweshela bashali ne bamankambushabo ncebalikubenshila, ico cikute kukondwelesha Lesa.
5 Mukalubingi wabula weshikumunyamfwa nambi kumulama, kupembelela kwakendi wakusha muli Lesa kayi ukute kupitilisha kupaila ne kusenga lunyamfwo kuli Lesa, munshi ne mashiku.
6 Nomba mukalubingi washa mano mubintu byabula ncito, wafwa kendi nambi ucili muyumi.
7 Naboyo ubape malailile awa kwambeti babule kampenda.
8 Nomba na muntu katanyamfwa banse bendi makamaka bamung'anda yakendi, lakana lushomo kayi waipa kupita muntu wabula lushomo.
9 Kotalemba lina lya mukalubingi pa maina abamukalubingi na nkanashika pabyaka makumi asanu ne limo, kayi abe mukashi walebwapo kumulume umo,
10 ukute mpuwo yancito shaina. Abe mutukashi walakulisha cena banabendi, kayi walikupa cakulya bantu beshi kupita, kayi walikutambula cena bensu mung'anda yakendi kayi walikunyamfwa bantu mumapensho abo, kayi walikulibenga kwinsa byaina.
11 Bamukalubingi batana bashika byaka makumi asanu ne limo kotabalemba maina. Pakwinga baba ne nyotwa yakuyanda kwebwa, bakute kushiya Klistu,
12 kayi ingababa ne mulandu wa kupwaya cipangano cabo cakutanguna.
13 Pambali palico, ngababa batolo, bakute cinga cakuya kulibandikisha ku manda abanabo, kufwiya nekwingila mumakani abanabo, ne kwamba makani abula kwelela kwamba.
14 Caina kwambeti bamukalubingi bacili batwanike bebwe, baseme bana ne kubakulisha cena, kwambeti balwani betu babule cindi ca kutwamba bintu byaipa.
15 Kobona, cilenshiki kuli ba mukalubingi batwanike, balatatiki kukonkela Satana.
16 Na pali mutukashi muklistu ukute kulela bamukalubingi apitilishe kubanyamfwa kabataba mutolo ku mubungano, kwambeti mubungano upitilishe kunyamfwa bamukalubingi babula pa kwikata.
17 Batangunishi ba mubungano balatangunininga cena bapewe bulemu ne malipilo elela ncito ya kukambauka ne kwiyisha.
18 Ici celana ne Mabala a Lesa alambangeti, “Kotasunga ng'ombe matomo kumulomo kwambeti ibule kulya cindi ncolaisebenseshenga mulibala” Kayi “musebenshi wela kutambula malipilo kuli walamwingisha ncito”
19 Kotautambula mulandu wakumubepesha mutangunishi wa mubungano na uliya bakamboni babili nambi batatu bawishi cena mulandu'wo.
20 Nambi kulico, bakanse abo balapitilishingo'wa kwinsa bintu byaipa, kwambeti nabambi bamantepo ciyo.
21 Ndakwambilinga mwangofu pamenso pa Lesa ne Klistu Yesu pamo ne bangelo basalwa, kwambeti ukonke malailile awa kwakubula kulanga pa nkumo, kwambeti ubule kusalulula.
22 Kotafwambananga kubika makasa pa muntu kumuleta mu ncito ya Mwami ya butangunishi mu mubungano, pakwinga wenseco ngaumantamo lubasu mu bwipishi bwakendi. Obe pitilisha kuba wabula kampenda mu buyumi bwakobe.
23 Kotanwango'wa menshi onka, konwangonga waini kukunyamfwa kusungulula mulibunda, cebo cakwambeti ukute kukolwa kolwa.
24 Bwipishi bwa bantu nabambi bukute kuboneka patuba, nambi kabatana bomboloshewa. Nomba bwipishi bwa bantu nabambi bukute kumanta cindi citali kwambeti buboneke.
25 Ni cimo cimo micito yaina ikute kuboneka patuba, nayo itabonekele patuba nkayela kusolekwa sobwe.
