¹I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:

¹Napenda kumjulisha kwenu dada yetu Foibe ambaye ni mtumishi katika kanisa la Kenkrea.

²That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.

²Mpokeeni kwa ajili ya Bwana kama iwapasavyo watu wa Mungu. Mpeni msaada wowote atakaohitaji kutoka kwenu, maana yeye amekuwa mwema sana kwa watu wengi na kwangu pia.

³Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:

³Salamu zangu ziwafikie Priska na Akula, wafanyakazi wenzangu katika utumishi wa Kristo Yesu.

⁴Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

⁴Wao walihatarisha maisha yao kwa ajili yangu. Wanastahili shukrani; si tu kutoka kwangu, bali pia kutoka kwa makanisa yote ya watu wa mataifa mengine.

⁵Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.

⁵Salamu zangu pia kwa kanisa linalokutana nyumbani kwao. Salamu zangu zimfikie rafiki yangu Epaineto ambaye ni kwa kwanza katika mkoa wa Asia kumwamini Kristo.

⁶Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.

⁶Nisalimieni Maria ambaye amefanya kazi kwa bidii kwa ajili yenu.

⁷Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

⁷Salamu zangu kwa Androniko na Yunia, wananchi wenzangu waliofungwa gerezani pamoja nami; wao wanajulikana sana kati ya mitume; tena walikuwa Wakristo kabla yangu mimi.

⁸Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.

⁸Salamu zangu kwa Ampliato, rafiki yangu katika kuungana na Bwana.

¹⁷Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

¹⁷Ndugu zangu, nawasihi muwafichue wote wanaosababisha mafarakano na kuwafanya watu wengine waanguke, kinyume cha mafundisho mliyofundishwa. Jiepusheni na watu hao,

¹⁸For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

¹⁸maana watu wa namna hiyo hawamtumikii Kristo Bwana wetu, bali wanayatumikia matumbo yao wenyewe. Kwa maneno yao matamu na hotuba za kubembeleza hupotosha mioyo ya watu wanyofu.

¹⁹For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

¹⁹Kila mtu amesikia juu ya utii wenu na hivyo mmekuwa sababu ya furaha yangu. Nawatakeni muwe na hekima katika mambo mema, na bila hatia kuhusu mambo mabaya.

²⁰And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

²⁰Naye Mungu aliye chanzo cha amani hatakawia kumponda Shetani chini ya miguu yenu. Neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo iwe nanyi.

²¹Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.

²¹Timotheo, mfanyakazi mwenzangu, anawasalimu. Hali kadhalika Lukio, Yasoni, na Sosipatro, wananchi wenzangu, wanawasalimu.

²²I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.

²²Nami Tertio, ninayeandika barua hii nawasalimuni katika Bwana.

²³Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.

²³Gayo, mwenyeji wangu, pamoja na kanisa lote linalokutana kwake, anawasalimu. Erasto, mweka hazina wa mji huu, pamoja na Kwarto, wanawasalimu.

²⁴The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

²⁴Neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo iwe nanyi nyote. Amina.

²⁵Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

²⁵Basi, sasa na tumsifu Mungu! Yeye anaweza kuwaimarisheni katika ile Habari Njema niliyohubiri juu ya ujumbe wa Yesu Kristo, na katika ile siri iliyofunuliwa na ambayo ilikuwa imefichika kwa karne nyinyi zilizopita.

²⁶But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

²⁶Lakini, sasa ukweli huo umefunuliwa kwa njia ya maandiko ya manabii; na kwa amri ya Mungu wa milele umedhihirisha kwa mataifa yote ili wote waweze kuamini na kutii.

²⁷To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.

²⁷Kwake Mungu aliye peke yake mwenye hekima, uwe utukufu kwa njia ya Yesu Kristo, milele na milele! Amina.
