I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant of the assembly that is at Cenchreae,
2 Mpokeeni kwa ajili ya Bwana kama iwapasavyo watu wa Mungu. Mpeni msaada wowote atakaohitaji kutoka kwenu, maana yeye amekuwa mwema sana kwa watu wengi na kwangu pia.

6 Nisalimieni Maria ambaye amefanya kazi kwa bidii kwa ajili yenu.
Greet Mary, who labored much for us.
7 Salamu zangu kwa Androniko na Yunia, wananchi wenzangu waliofungwa gerezani pamoja nami; wao wanajulikana sana kati ya mitume; tena walikuwa Wakristo kabla yangu mimi.
Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, who were also in Christ before me.

17 Ndugu zangu, nawasihi muwafichue wote wanaosababisha mafarakano na kuwafanya watu wengine waanguke, kinyume cha mafundisho mliyofundishwa. Jiepusheni na watu hao,
Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.
18 maana watu wa namna hiyo hawamtumikii Kristo Bwana wetu, bali wanayatumikia matumbo yao wenyewe. Kwa maneno yao matamu na hotuba za kubembeleza hupotosha mioyo ya watu wanyofu.
For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the innocent.
19 Kila mtu amesikia juu ya utii wenu na hivyo mmekuwa sababu ya furaha yangu. Nawatakeni muwe na hekima katika mambo mema, na bila hatia kuhusu mambo mabaya.
For your obedience has become known to all. I rejoice therefore over you. But I desire to have you wise in that which is good, but innocent in that which is evil.
20 Naye Mungu aliye chanzo cha amani hatakawia kumponda Shetani chini ya miguu yenu. Neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo iwe nanyi.
And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
21 Timotheo, mfanyakazi mwenzangu, anawasalimu. Hali kadhalika Lukio, Yasoni, na Sosipatro, wananchi wenzangu, wanawasalimu.
Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives.
22 Nami Tertio, ninayeandika barua hii nawasalimuni katika Bwana.
I, Tertius, who write the letter, greet you in the Lord.
23 Gayo, mwenyeji wangu, pamoja na kanisa lote linalokutana kwake, anawasalimu. Erasto, mweka hazina wa mji huu, pamoja na Kwarto, wanawasalimu.
Gaius, my host and host of the whole assembly, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, as does Quartus, the brother.
24 Neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo iwe nanyi nyote. Amina.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all! Amen.
25 Basi, sasa na tumsifu Mungu! Yeye anaweza kuwaimarisheni katika ile Habari Njema niliyohubiri juu ya ujumbe wa Yesu Kristo, na katika ile siri iliyofunuliwa na ambayo ilikuwa imefichika kwa karne nyinyi zilizopita. (aiōnios g166)
Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages (aiōnios g166),
26 Lakini, sasa ukweli huo umefunuliwa kwa njia ya maandiko ya manabii; na kwa amri ya Mungu wa milele umedhihirisha kwa mataifa yote ili wote waweze kuamini na kutii. (aiōnios g166)
but now is revealed, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the consummate (aiōnios g166) God, is made known for obedience of faith to all the nations;
