3 Umusa kawube kini lokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba wethu leNkosini uJesu Kristu.

ndichinzwa zverudo rwako, nerutendo rwaunarwo kuna Ishe Jesu nekuvatsvene vese,

6 ukuze ukuhlanganyela kokholo lwakho kube lamandla elwazini lwento yonke enhle ekini kuKristu Jesu.

kuti kudyidzana kwerutendo rwako kuve nesimba pakuziva chese chakanaka chiri mamuri muna Kristu Jesu.

7 Ngoba silentokozo enkulu lenduduzo ethandweni lwakho, ngoba imibilini yabangcwele yavuselelwa ngawe, mzalwane.

Nokuti tine mufaro mukuru nekunyaradzwa parudo rwako, nokuti ura hwevatsvene hwakavandudzwa newe, hama.

8 Ngalokho, lanxa ngilesibindi esikhulu kuKristu sokuthi ngikulaye into efaneleyo,

Naizvozvo kunyange ndine kushinga kukuru muna Kristu kukuraira izvo zvakafanira,

9 kanti ngenxa yothando kungcono ukuthi ngincenge, nginjengonje, uPawuli omdala, esengiyisibotshwa futhi sikaJesu Kristu.

asi nekuda kwerudo zviri nani kukumbirisa, sezvandakadai ini Pauro mutana, uye ikozvinowo musungwa waJesu Kristu.

10 Ngiyakuncenga ngomntanami, engimzeleyo kuzibopho zami, uOnesimo,

Ndinokukumbirisa pamusoro pemwana wangu, wandakabereka muzvisungo zvangu, Onesimo,

11 okade engelasizo kuwe, kodwa khathesi-ke ulosizo kuwe lakimi,

wakange asingambokubatsiri, asi ikozvino anobatsira kwauri nekwandiri,

12 engimbuyisela kuwe; kodwa wena, memukele, okuyikuthi imibilini yami;

wandaida kuramba naye aneni, kuti panzvimbo yako andishumire pazvisungo zveevhangeri;

14 kodwa kangithandanga ukwenza ulutho ngaphandle kwemvumo yakho, ukuze okuhle kwakho kungabi ngokokubanjwa ngamandla, kodwa njengokwesihle.

asi handina kuda kuita chinhu kunze kwetendero yako, kuti chakanaka chako chirege kuitwa nekurovererwa, asi sepachido.

15 Ngoba mhlawumbe wehlukaniswa lawe okwesikhatshana ngenxa yalokhu, ukuze ubuye umemukele phakade; (aiōnios g166)

Nokuti zvimwe wakaparadzaniswa newe chinguva nemhaka iyi, kuti umugamuchirezve nekusingaperi; (aiōnios g166)

16 angabe esaba njengesigqili, kodwa ngaphezu kwesigqili, umzalwane othandekayo, ikakhulu kimi, kodwa kakhulu kangakanani kuwe konke enyameni leNkosini.

arege kuchiva semuranda, asi anopfuura muranda, hama inodikanwa, zvikuru kwandiri, asi zvikuru sei kwauri zvese panyama nemuna Ishe.

17 Ngakho uba usithi ngingumhlanganyeli lawe, memukele njengami.

Naizvozvo kana uchindiverenga semubatidzani, mugamuchire seunogamuchira ini.

18 Kodwa uba ekone ngolutho kumbe elomlandu, lokho kubalele kimi;

Asi kana akakutadzira chimwe kana kuva nengava newe, izvozvo zviverengere kwandiri;

19 mina Pawuli ngibhale ngesandla sami, mina ngizahlawula; ukuthi ngingatsho kuwe ukuthi lawe uqobo ulomlandu oseleyo kimi.

ini Pauro ndanyora neruoko rwangu, ini ndicharipa; kuti ndirege kuti kwauri, uri ngava kwandiri iwewo pachako.

20 Yebo, mzalwane, sengathi ngingaba lentokozo ngawe eNkosini; uvuselele imibilini yami eNkosini.

22 Futhi ngesikhathi esifananayo ungilungisele lami indawo yokuhlala; ngoba ngiyathemba ukuthi ngemikhuleko yenu ngizanikwa kini.

Uyewo panguva iyoyo ndigadzirire pekugara; nokuti ndinotarisira kuti kubudikidza neminyengetero yenyu ndichapiwa kwamuri.
