1Nene Pauli, mtumighwa wa Yesu Kiristu kwa unoghelo we Imulungu, hamwe na ndughu yetu Timoteo twomlamsani. Twomwandikilani mwemwe kingili lye iwanu we Imulungu lyose ilili Kolinto, na iwanu wose we Imulungu iwali muisi yose ya Akaya.
2Nomlomba Imulungu Aba wetu na Imtwatsa wetu Yesu Kiristu yawatendele uluso na yamwikeni tseghamba.
3Yatunyighwe Imulungu, Aba wa Imtwatsa wetu Yesu Kiristu, Aba wa libatsi na Imulungu iyokanza ghendo.
4Imulungu kotukanza mna ghamaghayo ghose, ili tuwakanze awala iwali mne maghayo ghoghose ka Imulungu pfayotukanza twetwe.
5Ka ghamaghayo gha Yesu pfaghokongetseka mghati mwetu, pfipfo pfatughendelela kukanzighwa na Kiristu.
6Tung'aghanzika, twoghanzika ili mwemwe mwapfilighwe na mkombolighwe. Tung'akanzighwa, namwe pfipfila mwokanzighwa na mwakwing'ighwa ngupfu mdudumile maghayo ghaghano ghatududumila.

8Ng'atubama bae mwemwe mleke kumanya maghayo ghatupatile muisi ya Asiya. Ghamaghayo agho tsaghabita ngupfu tsetu mbaka tsatupfikitsa ng'atuhona bae.
9Lekeni mne imimoyo yetu tsatupfikitsa ka tuighighwa kufa. Ilawila apfo ili tuleke kwihuhila wenyegho, ila tumuhuhile Imulungu iyowatsilihula iwanu iwafile.
10Tsakatukombola mne ghamaghayo ing'aghadahile kutukoma, naye katsotukombola. Na twetwe twomlolela yeye ka katsoghendelela kutukombola.
11Mwemwe mng'atwapfila kwa kutulombela. Ukutulombela kwenu ng'ani kutsakwidikighwa, na Imulungu katsotubaliki, kuya iwanu wengi watsolonga mighede kwe Imulungu kwaajili ya twetwe.
12Twetwe tweghodela chinu chimwe, mimoyo yetu yotulangusa ka kukala kwetu muisi amu, hasa na mwemwe, tukala kwa uhenzeluka na ghumoyo ghunoghile ghwatwing'ighwe ne Imulungu. Ng'atulongotsighwe ne tsimbutsi tse iwanu bae, ila twolongotsighwa ne uluso we Imulungu.
13Mana ng'atukwandika bae chinu chochose mwemwe chang'amdaha bae kuchisoma au kuchimanya. Nololela mtsomanya pfinoghile ghendo,
14hata ka mbaka sambi mwomanya chidogho, hambele mtsomanya ghendo na mtseghoda kwaajili ya twetwe, ka twetwe pfatwitseghoda kwaajili ya mwemwe mne litsuwa lya Imtwatsa wetu Yesu.
15Aku ng'ala nololela agho. tsambama ghendo tanu kumwangilani mwemwe, ili mbwede lwakeli.
16Tsambama kumwangilani hanibita kughenda Makedoniya na kuya kuna mwemwe hanilawa Makedoniya, ili mnyapfile mne ghumwanza wangu kughenda Yudeya.
17Pfii hanibamile kutenda apfi, tsanikala chigeugeu? Ebu ghanitenda notenda kwa mbutsi tse chimunu, na hanilonga, “Ona, ona” na hanilonga, “Bae, bae”?
18Lekeni ka Imulungu pfoyotogholighwa, usenga wetu kuna mwemwe si mbuli ya kulonga “Ona” na “Bae”, chipindi chicho.
19Kwaapfila Kiristu Yesu, Imwana we Imulungu, yapetelighwe kuna mwemwe na Silivani na Timoteo na nene mwenyegho ng'awile “Ona” na “Bae.” Lekeni mna yeye kuna “Ona” iliyeka matsuwa ghose,
20kwaapfila chila chinu Imulungu chayalaghane kubitila Yesu chakuwa “Ona,” mna Kiristu. Apfo “Amina” yetu yolongighwa kubitila yeye, kwa utunitso we Imulungu.
21Lelo iyotutenda twetwe na mwemwe twime pfinoghile mna Kiristu, na iyatusaghule, iyo Imulungu mwenyegho,
22naye katughela ichitango ichilangusa ka twetwe twawakwake, na katwing'a Muhe wake mna imimoyo yetu yaghwe tsamana kwa aghala ghose ighotutsila.
23Imulungu iyo mkalangama wangu yeye kaghumanya ghumoyo wangu! Nene sitsile keli bae Kolinto kwa kuwonelani mwemwe libatsi.
24Ng'atubama kuwananahitsa mne ukutoghola kwenu, twetwe twomanya mwemwe mwima pfinoghile mne ukutoghola, lekeni twosang'ana hamwe na mwemwe kwa ndeng'elelo yenu.
