Ikabhe, mbaya bhaatumishilanje ukoto, pabha apwaika kwa liengo lyabhonji, ni Nkilishitu nnjabhonji.

Nnapinjikwa nnjiganye na nnunguye genega 3 Mundu jojowe ajiganya majiganyo gana ga kanana na gegano, na akaakunda malobhe ga gumi ga Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu, wala majiganyo ga dini ja kweli, 4 jwenejo anakwiipuna na wala akakushimanya shoshowe, ikabhe jwenejo ashikola shalubha sha pinga mitau, na malobhe ga nngomo ga kumbuya lupimililo, na mpwai na matukano na nnjimwa, 5 na mitau jangali mpelo jikoposhela kubhandu bhaangabhanikenje lunda, na bhangalinginji ya kweli. Bhaganishiyanga kuti dini mpanda gwa patila utajili.

6 Ikabheje dini ja kweli jinakumpa mundu kupwaika kaje, atogolelaga na yakwete. 7 Pabha pa shilambolyo twangaika na shindu, na tukajabhula na shindu.

8 Kwa nneyo tukolaga shalya na nngubho, tutogolele na yeneyo. 9 Ikabheje bhapinganga shipato shikulungwa pagwila mmalinjilo, nitanjila nniyau lya ilokoli ya indu yaigwinji, ya nyata na ya mboteko ikwaajinjiyanga bhandunji nkuobha na nkuangabhanika. 10 Pabha shiumilo shikulungwa sha indu yowe ya nyata, ni kupinjiya ela. Na bhananji nkupinjiya ela bhashilekanga nngulupai, nikwiijweka mmboteko ya punda.

11 Ikabheje mmwe, mmandu bha a Nnungu, muiembuye na genego. Nkagulile aki, na kwaatindibhalila a Nnungu, na ngulupai, na pingana, na kwiipililila na kwiitimalika. 12 Nkomane ukoto ngondo ja ngulupai, na mpate gumi gwa pitipiti gunshemelwe gula, gumwapatile nkakundeje pa bhaakong'ondela bhabhagwinji. 13 Ngunakunnajila pa meyo ga a Nnungu bhakwiipa gumi indu yowe, na a Yeshu Kilishitu, bhakong'ondele ukoto pa meyo ga a Pontio Pilato, 14 kuti nkamule malajilo genu kwa kunda na kulupalika, mpaka lyubha lishibhaishe Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu. 15 Na kuika kwabho shikubhe mobha ga pwaa, gabhishilwe na a Nnungu Bhaatagwala jikape, Bhakulungwa bha bhakulungwanji. 16 Ni bhenebho jikape bhakawa, bhatama pashilangaya shikabhandishilwa naka mundu. Wala jwakwapi mundu abhabhweni eu akombola kwaabhona. Bhenebho ni bha ishimiywa, na bhakwete mashili ga tagwala pitipiti! Amina.

17 Mwaalajilanje bhandunji bhakwetenje utajili pa shilambolyo pano, bhanaipunanje na bhanaikulupalilanje indu ibhakwetenje ikaakulupalika, ikabhe bhaakulupalilanje a Nnungu, bhakutupa indu yowe kwa ntuka gwabho nkupinga tuinonyele. 18 Mwaalajilanje bhatendanje uguja, bhapundanje kutenda ya mmbone, na bhakolanje ntuka akuno bhaliengwanga kugabhana indu yabhonji na bhananji. 19 Kwaatenda nneyo, shibhaibhishilanje shibhiko sha mmbone kwa mobha gakwiyago. Nkupinga bhapatanje gumi gwa kweli.

20 Mmwe a Timoteo, nngoye shimmishilwesho. Mwiembuye na nkungulu gwangali gwa mmbone, na mitau ja ungumba ga shene shishemwa lumanyio, mbena unami. 21 Pabha bhananji bhaitapilenje kuti bhakwetenje lumanyio, bhashilekanga ngulupai.
