1 Newo monga munthu wachikulile, nulembela Gayo nkwangu wapantima, wamene numukonda ngako.
2 Wewo wapantima pangu, nukupemphelela kuti vinthu vonse vipitilije kukuyendela luweme komasoti kuti unkhale wa thanzi monga ni mwavilili palipano.
3 Nikondwela ngako akwasu pechiwela noniuja vokhuza choonadi chaulinacho, paupitilija kuyenda mu choonadi.
4 Paliye chinthu chunikondwelesha ngako* kupambana kumvwa kuti ŵana ŵangu akalipitilija mphela kuyenda mu choonadi.
5 Wewo wapantima pangu uwonesha kuti niwe wokhulupilika pa chilichonse chauchitila akwasu olo amene uŵaziŵalini.
6 Akwasu amene aŵa afotokozela mpingo* vokhuza chikondi chako. Ŵanthu amene aŵa keno onyamuka, ukoyeja-yeja kuŵayavya mu njila yakukondwela nayo Mulungu,
7 chifukwa eluta kuyalalikila za zina ya Mulungu, ndipo enzeyembekezelalini kulondela chilichonse kufumila kuli ŵanthu amitundu iyakine.
8 Tetyo, ni udindo wasu kulondela luweme ŵanthu amene aŵa komasoti kuŵatandaja kuti ankhale antchito ayasu polalikila choonadi.
9 Mpingo wanu niulembela kalata, koma Diotilefe wamene okonda kunkhala pasogolo pakati panu, olemekezalini chilichonse chatanena.
10 N’chifukwa chake nikazawela nizaulule vakuchita pofalisa wenye wonena za sewo. Ndipo chifukwa chakuti okhutilalini na vamene ivi, okana kuŵalondela mwaulemu akwasu. Komasoti, ŵanthu amene ofuna kuŵalondela yove oyeja-yeja kuŵachingilija komasoti kuŵachosa mu mpingo.
11 Wewo wapantima pangu, osati ukokonkheja ŵanthu ochita viipa, mmalo mwake ukokonkheja ŵanthu amene ochita viweme. Amene ochita viweme okonkheja maganizo a Mulungu. Koma amene ochita viipa oziŵalini Mulungu.
12 Ŵanthu onse ankhala omuchitila umboni Demetiliyo. Komasoti vochita vake vamene ni vokatijana na choonadi vumuchitila umboni. Sewo nase tumuchitila umboni, ndipo wewo uziŵa kuti umboni watupeleka ni wachendi.
13 Nenze na vinyinji vakuti nikuuje, koma nufunalini kuti nipitilije kukulembela vamene ivi pa pepa na inki.
14 Koma nuganiza kuti tiwonane kwalombapano ndipo tizalaŵijane pamenso na pamenso.
Ntendele unkhale nawe.
Akwasu kuno okupasa moni. Nawesoti unipelekele moni kuli akwasu kwamene uko, aliyense payeka-payeka.
