2 Kolinitō 9

1 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he tokoni ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻeku tohi kiate kimoutolu.

Akudingeki ukuba ngililobele mayelana lalokhukusebenzela abantu beNkosi.

2 He ʻoku ou ʻilo homou loto lelei, ʻaia naʻaku polepole ai ʻiate kimoutolu kiate kinautolu ʻi Masitōnia, koeʻuhi ʻoku talu ʻae taʻu ʻe taha mo e teu ki ai ʻa ʻAkeia; pea ko hoʻomou fai feinga kuo langaki ʻae tokolahi.

Ngoba ngiyakwazi ukutshisekela kwenu ukuba lisize njalo kade ngizincoma ngakho kwabaseMasedoniya, ngibatshela ukuthi kusukela nyakenye lina e-Akhayiya belizimisele ukunikela; njalo ukutshiseka kwenu kukhuthaze inengi labo ukuba baphathise.

3 Ka kuo u fekau ʻae kāinga, telia naʻa taʻeʻaonga ʻa ʻemau polepole ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he meʻa ni; kae hangē ko ʻeku tala, ke mou teuteu pe:

Kodwa ngithuma abazalwane ukuze ukuzincoma kwethu ngani ngale indaba kungabi yize kodwa ukuba libe ngabalungiseleleyo, njengoba ngatsho ukuthi lizakuba lilungiselele.

4 Telia naʻa ʻiloange, te mau ʻalu atu mo ha niʻihi ʻo Masitōnia, pea ʻilo ʻakimoutolu ʻoku teʻeki ai teuteu, pea mā ai ʻakimautolu (ʻoku ʻikai teu pehē ʻakimoutolu) ʻi he polepole lahi ni.

Ngoba nxa abanye baseMasedoniya besiza lami, bengathola lingalungiselanga, singayangeka ngokulethemba ebesilakho.

5 Ko ia naʻaku pehē ai ʻoku ʻaonga ʻeku enginaki ʻae kāinga, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻalu muʻomuʻa kiate kimoutolu, ʻo tomuʻa fakamaʻopoʻopo hoʻomou meʻaʻofa, ʻaia naʻe tomuʻa lea ki ai, koeʻuhi ke teu pe ia, ʻo ngali mo e meʻa foaki, kae ʻikai hangē ʻoku ʻi he manumanu.

Ngakho ngibone kufanele ukukhuthaza abazalwane ukuba balethekelele mandulo baqedise amalungiselelo esipho esihle elasithembisa sona. Ngalesosikhathi sizakuba sesilungile njengesipho esihle hatshi esinikelwe ngomona.

6 Ka ko eni, Ko ia ʻoku tūtuuʻi fakasiʻisiʻi, ʻe utu fakasiʻisiʻi foki; pea ko ia ʻoku tūtuuʻi lahi, ʻe utu lahi foki.

Khumbulani lokhu: Lowo ohlanyela okunengi uvuna okunengi.

7 Ke foaki ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻo hangē ko ia kuo pau hono loto ki ai, kae ʻikai ʻi he mamahi, pe ʻi hono puleʻi: he ʻoku ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua ki ha foaki fiefia.

Umuntu ngamunye kanike lokho amise ukukunikela enhliziyweni yakhe, kungabi ngokudonda loba ukubanjwa ngamandla ngoba uNkulunkulu uthanda onikela ngokuthokoza.

8 Pea ʻoku mafai ʻe he ʻOtua ke fakatupulekina ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu; koeʻuhi ʻi he mahu lahi maʻuaipē ʻakimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ke mou faʻa fai ʻae ngāue lelei kotoa pē:

Njalo uNkulunkulu ulamandla okwenza umusa wande kini ukuze kuthi ezintweni zonke ngezikhathi zonke, lilakho konke elikuswelayo, lizakuba lokunengi kuyo yonke imisebenzi emihle.

9 (Hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Kuo tufaki atu ʻe ia; kuo foaki ʻe ia ki he masiva: pea ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻene māʻoniʻoni ʻo taʻengata.” (aiōn g165)

Njengoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Uchithele izipho zakhe kubayanga ezindaweni zonke; ukulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade.” (aiōn g165)

10 Pea ko eni, ko ia ʻoku ne foaki ʻae tengaʻi ʻakau ki he tūtuuʻi, ʻofa ke ne foaki ʻae mā ke mou kai, pea fakatupu hoʻomou tenga kuo tūtuuʻi, pea fakalahi ʻae ngaahi fua ʻo hoʻomou māʻoniʻoni; )

Lowo onika umhlanyeli inhlanyelo lesinkwa sokudla uzanika njalo aqhelise isiphala senu senhlanyelo, andise lesivuno sokulunga kwenu.

11 Koeʻuhi ke fakamaʻumeʻaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ki he faʻa foaki lahi, ʻaia ʻoku tupu ai ʻae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ʻiate kimautolu.

Lizanothiswa ngezindlela zonke ukuze liphane ngezikhathi zonke, kuthi ngathi ukupha kwenu kulethe ukubongwa kukaNkulunkulu.

12 He ko e tauhi atu ʻoe ngāue ni, ʻoku ʻikai ngata ʻi he tokoni ki he masiva ʻoe kāinga māʻoniʻoni, ka ʻoku tupulekina ia ʻi he ngaahi fakafetaʻi lahi ki he ʻOtua;

Umsebenzi lo eliwenzayo kawuqedi zinswelo zabantu bakaNkulunkulu kuphela kodwa ugcwele amazwi amanengi okubonga uNkulunkulu.

13 Pea ʻi he fakamoʻoni ʻoe tokoni ni, ʻoku nau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻi hoʻomou talangofua ʻoku fakahā ni ki he ongoongolelei ʻa Kalaisi, pea ʻi hoʻomou tufaki lahi kiate kinautolu, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē;

Ngenxa yomsebenzi eselizibonakalise ngawo, abantu bazamdumisa uNkulunkulu ngenxa yokulalela lokuvuma kwenu ivangeli likaKhristu, kanye lomusa wenu ekwabelananeni labo kanye labanye futhi.

14 Pea ʻi heʻenau lotua ʻakimoutolu, mo e holi lahi kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko e ʻofa lahi ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu.

Ekulikhulekeleni kwabo, inhliziyo zabo zizakuba kini ngenxa yomusa ongelamkhawulo uNkulunkulu alinike wona.

15 Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ko ʻene foaki ʻoku taʻefaʻalaua.

Kabongwe uNkulunkulu ngenxa yesipho esingeke sichazwe.
