⁴De katar ashundiam pa tumaro pachamos kai si tume ando Jesus Kristo, ai e dragostia kai si tume ka le Devleske narodoske.

⁵nekuda kwetariro yakagadzirirwa imwi kumatenga, yamakagara manzwa pashoko rechokwadi cheevhangeri,

⁵Kana e vorba le chachimaski e lashi viasta avili e pervo data tumende, diam tume te zhanen o raduimos kai del, no tumaro pachamos ai tumari dragostia thodine le ande so azhukeren kai si garado tumenge ando rhaio.

⁶iyo yasvika kwamuri sepanyika yosewo; ichibereka chibereko, sezvainoitawo kwamuri, kubvira pazuva ramakanzwa nekuziva nyasha dzaMwari muchokwadi;

⁶E lashi viasta zhal katar godi, ai anel pesko swuntsomos ande sa e lumia, vorta sar kerdia mashkar tumende de katar o dies kai e pervo data ashundian pa lashimos le Devlesko, ai sichilian te zhanen so si chaches o lashimos le Devlesko.

⁷sezvamakadzidzawo kuna Epafrasi, muranda unodikamwa pamwe nesu, mushumiri wakatendeka waKristu nekuda kwenyu,

⁷O Epaphras, amare kuchi vortako ande buchi si kai sichardia tume kadia diela, wo si tumenge iek sluga kai kerel e buchi kai dia les O Kristo;

⁸iye wakatiudzawo zverudo rwenyu muMweya.

⁸Wo phendia amenge pa dragostia kai O Swunto Duxo dia tume.

⁹Nekuda kweizvi isuwo, kubvira pazuva ratakanzwa, hatimiri kukunyengetererai, nekukumbira kuti muzadzwe neruzivo rwechido chake, pauchenjeri hwose nekunzwisisa kwemweya;

⁹Anda kodia ame sagda rhugisavas anda tumende, de katar o dies kai ashundiam pa tumende. Ame mangas katar O Del te del tume te zhanen leski voia, ai te del tume sa o pachivalimos ai e goji kai del lesko Swunto Duxo.

¹⁰kuti mufambe sezvinofanira Ishe muchimufadza pazvose, muchibereka zvibereko pabasa rose rakanaka, muchikura paruzivo rwaMwari;

¹⁰Ai kadia sai phirena sar O Kristo mangel, ai te keren sagda so plachal les. Tume kerena but lashe dieli, ai zhana angle te zhanen mai but le Devles.

¹¹muchisimbiswa nesimba rose, zvichienderana nesimba rekurumbidzwa kwake, muve nemoyo murefu nekutsungirira nemufaro;

¹¹Ame mangas katar O Del te aven defial zurliarde katar leski putiera e luvudime, saxke te sai rhevdin swako fielo rhavdasa ai raduimasa.

¹²muchipa kuvonga kuna Baba, vakatiita kuti tifanire kugoverana kwenhaka yevatsvene muchiedza.

¹²Das naisimos raduimasa ka O Dat, kai dia tume te sai aven anda kodola kai si vi lenge o mishtimos kai O Del garavel ando rhaio la vediarako kodolenge kai si leske.

¹³Wo lia ame katar e putiera le tuniarikoske, ai andia ame ando rhaio peske shavesko kai si leske drago.

¹⁴watine dzikinuro maari kubudikidza neropa rake, ndiko kukangamwirwa kwezvivi.

¹⁴Ame samas chindiam pala lesko rat ai amare bezexa iertimele.

¹⁵Ndiye mufananidzo waMwari usingaonekwi, dangwe rechisikwa choga choga;

¹⁵O Kristo si o patreto le Devlesko kai chi dichol. Wo kerdilo o pervo mai anglal sar sa le kolaver dieli.

¹⁶Nekuti maari zvinhu zvose zvakasikwa, zviri kumatenga nezviri panyika, zvinoonekwa nezvisingaonekwi, kana zviri zvigaro zveushe kana ushe, kana ukuru, kana masimba; zvinhu zvose zvakasikwa naye, zvikasikirwa iye.

¹⁶Ke lestar O Del kerdia swako fielo ando rhaio ai pe phuv, so dichol ai vi so chi dichol, le putieri kai chi dichon, le amperaturia vai le amperetsi, vai le putieri; O Del kerdia swako fielo lestar ai leske.

¹⁷Ndiye unotangira zvinhu zvose, uye zvinhu zvose zvakabatanidzwa maari.

¹⁷Wo sas mai anglal sar swako diela, ai lesa andek than sa le dieli kai si kerde beshen pe pengo than.

¹⁸Uye ndiye musoro wemuviri, kereke; unova kutanga, dangwe kune vakafa; kuti pazvose iye ave wokutanga.

¹⁸Wo si o shero le statosko kai kerel e khangeri; ande leste si kai nachinail o traio o nevo, wo si o shav kai kerdilo o pervo, wo si o pervo kai sas andino katar e martia ka traio, saxke te avel leste o pervo than ande soste godi.

¹⁹Nekuti zvakafadza Baba, kuti kuzara kose kugare maari,

¹⁹Ke O Del manglia te avel wo sa peska putierasa ande pesko Shav.

²⁰uye akonzere naye kuti zvinhu zvose zviyananiswe kwaari, amboita rugare kubudikidza neropa remuchinjikwa wake kubudikidza naiye, kunyange zviri panyika kunyange zviri kumatenga.

²⁰Ai vi manglia te chidel sa e lumia peste katar O Shav. O Del andia e pacha kana mulo lesko Shav ai shordia pesko rat po trushul, ai kadia chidia swako diela pesa, pe phuv ai vi ando rhaio.

²¹Nemwi maimbova vaeni nevavengi mufungwa nemabasa akaipa, asi zvino wayanana nemwi

²¹Vi tume mai anglal sanas dur katar O Del, tume sanas leske duzhmaia pala sa o nasulimos kai gindinas ai kerenas.

²²mumuviri wenyama yake kubudikidza nekufa akukumikidzei muri vatsvene, uye musina mhosva uye musingamhuriki pachiso chake,

²²Numa akana katar e martia kai lesko Shav lia ande pesko stato manushesko, O Del kerdia te avel tume e pacha lesa, saxke te kerel te aven angla leste Swuntsi, vuzhe, ai bi doshako,

²³kana muchirambira parutendo makateyiwa uye makasimbiswa, uye hamubviswi patariro yeevhangeri yamakanzwa, yakaparidzirwa chisikwa choga choga chiri pasi pedenga; iyo yandakaitwa mushumiri wayo ini Pauro.

²³numa akana trobul tume te beshen ando pachamos zurales, thodino andek zurali fundania, ai te na meken tume te durion katar o lashimos kai azhukeren, ai kai si tumaro de sar ashundian e lashi viasta kodia lashi viasta si kodia kai sas phendi swakone manusheske ande lumia, ai kodia kai me o Pavlo kerdilem ek pasturi.

²⁴Zvino ndinofara pamatambudziko angu nekuda kwenyu, nekuzadzisa zvakasara pamatambudziko aKristu munyama yangu nekuda kwemuviri wake, inova kereke;

²⁴Akana raduiv ma ando chino kai si ma tumenge. Ke katar murhe vutuimata kai sim ando stato, zhutiv te pherav so mai trobul kal vutuimata le Kristoske leske statoske kai si e khangeri.

²⁵iyo ini yandakaitwa mushumiri wayo zvichienderana nekuita kwaMwari kwandakapiwa pamusoro penyu, kuzadzisa shoko raMwari,

²⁵Me kerdilem ek pasturi la khangeriaki, palai buchi kai O Del dia ma te kerav tumenge, ando gindo le Devlesko te phenav tumenge sa leski vorba.

²⁶chakavanzika chakange chakafukidzwa kubvira kare, nekubva kumazera, asi zvino chinoratidzwa kuvatsvene vake,

²⁶Kodia si e buchi kai garadia sas la sagda katar e lumia. Numa kai sikadia akana kodolenge kai si leske.

²⁷kuna ivo Mwari vaakada kuzivisa kiti fuma yekubwinya kwechakavanzika ichi pakati pevahedheni chii, chinova Kristu mamuri, tariro yekubwinya;

²⁷O Del manglia te del le te zhanen o baro mishtios kai si ande kodo diela kai sas garadi. Mashkar sa le manush kai chi zhanen le Devles. So si kodo lashimos garado? Te zhanen ke O Kristo ande tumende lo, ai del tume ande tumaro ilo te zhanen ke vi tume avena ando rhaio le Devlesa.

²⁸watinoparidza isu, tichiyambira munhu umwe neumwe, nekudzidzisa munhu umwe neumwe munjere dzose, kuti tikumikidze munhu umwe neumwe akakwana muna Kristu;

²⁸No ame mothas pa Kristo swakone manusheske. Ame phenas ai sicharas swakones sa la gojasa kai dashtilpe, saxke te keras te avel angla Del sar iek baro manush astardo le Kristosa.

²⁹ndizvo zvandinoshingairirawo, ndichirwa zvinoenderana nekubata kwake kunobata mandiri nesimba.

²⁹Te kerav kadia buchi, kerav buchi ai marav ma la putierasa ai la zorasa kai del O Kristo, ai kodia zor kerel buchi ande mande.
