UPawuli umphostoli kaJesu Kristu ngentando kaNkulunkulu, njengokwesithembiso sempilo ekuKristu Jesu,

kuTimothi, umntanami othandekayo: Umusa, isihawu, ukuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba, loKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu.

Ngiyambonga uNkulunkulu, engimkhonzayo kusukela kubokhokho esazeleni esimhlophe, njengalokhu ngikukhumbula ngokungaphezi emikhulekweni yami ebusuku lemini,

4 ⲇ̅ ⲉⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ. ⲉⲉⲓⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲣⲙ̅ⲉⲓⲏ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲙⲟⲩϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲣⲁϣⲉ.

ngilangatha ukukubona, ngikhumbula inyembezi zakho, ukuze ngigcwaliswe ngentokozo,

5 ⲉ̅ ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲕ̅ ⲁϫⲛ̅ϩⲩⲡⲟⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲥⲟⲩⲱϩ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲗⲱⲉⲓⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲓⲕⲏ. ϯⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲥⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲕ̅.

nxa ngibeka emkhumbulweni ukholo olungelakuzenzisa olukuwe, olwaluhlezi kugogo wakho uLoyisi kuqala lakunyoko uYunike, njalo ngithemba ukuthi lukhona lakuwe.

Ngenxa yalesisizatho ngiyakukhumbuza ukuthi uvuselele isipho sikaNkulunkulu, esikuwe ngokubekwa kwezandla zami.

7 ⲍ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧϭⲱⲃ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ. ϩⲓⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϩⲓⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.

Ngoba uNkulunkulu kasinikanga umoya wobugwala, kodwa owamandla lowothando lowokuqonda.

8 ⲏ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲏⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.

Ngakho ungabi lanhloni ngobufakazi beNkosi yethu, loba ngami isibotshwa sayo; kodwa kumele uhlupheke kanye levangeli njengamandla kaNkulunkulu,

9 ⲑ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲛϩⲟⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲱϩⲙ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲉⲛⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉϥⲧⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲓⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛ̅ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōnios g166)

owasisindisayo, njalo wasibiza ngobizo olungcwele, kungeyisikho njengemisebenzi yethu kodwa ngokwelakhe icebo langomusa, asinika wona kuKristu Jesu kungakafiki izibanga zezikhathi, (aiōnios g166)

10 ⲓ̅ ⲉⲁⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲉⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲥϥ̅ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ. ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲧⲁⲕⲟ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ.

kodwa oselubonakaliswe khathesi ngokubonakala koMsindisi wethu uJesu Kristu, owachitha ukufa, waseletha ekukhanyeni impilo lokungabhubhi ngevangeli,

11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲧ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲕⲩⲣⲏⲝ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϩ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ·

engamiselwa lona mina ukuba ngumtshumayeli lomphostoli lomfundisi wezizwe.

12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲱⲡ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲉⲓϩⲓⲥⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ. ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲧⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲧⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ.

Ngenxa yalesisizatho lami ngiyahlupheka lezizinto, kodwa kangilanhloni; ngoba ngiyamazi engikholwe kuye, njalo ngileqiniso ukuthi ulamandla okulondoloza lokho engikubeke kuye kuze kufike lolosuku.

13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ϫⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟϫ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲕⲥⲟⲧⲙⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.

Bambelela kusibonelo samazwi aphilileyo owawezwayo kimi, ekholweni lethandweni olukuKristu Jesu.

14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲡϭⲟⲓ̈ⲗⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏϩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲛ̅

Lokhu okuhle okuphathisiweyo kulondoloze ngoMoya oNgcwele ohlezi kithi.

15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲧ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲩⲅⲉⲗⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲣⲙⲟⲅⲉⲛⲏⲥ·

Uyakwazi lokhu, ukuthi bonke abaseAsiya bangihlamuka, okukubo uFigelo loHermogene.

16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲉⲣⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϯ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲛ̅ⲏⲥⲓⲫⲟⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϯⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲙⲣ̅ⲣⲉ.

Sengathi iNkosi inganika umusa indlu kaOnesiforo; ngoba wangivuselela kanengi, njalo wayengelanhloni ngeketane lami,

17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲱⲙⲏ ⲁϥϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲉϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲓ̈ ⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈.

kodwa ekufikeni kwakhe eRoma, wangidingisisa kakhulu wasengithola;

18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲉⲣⲉⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ⲥ ϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ·

sengathi iNkosi ingamnika ukuthi athole isihawu eNkosini ngalolosuku; lokuthi zingaki izinto angenzela zona eEfesu, uyakwazi wena kuhle kakhulu.
