Laciwiri Lakuyenda kwa Timotio 2:1-26
2 Na tenepo, iwe mwanangu, pitiriza kugumana mphanvu kucokera pa kudeka mtima kukulu komwe kuli mwa Kristu Jezu.
2 Ndipo bzinthu bzomwe udabva kwa inepano bzomwe bzidatsimikiziridwambo na mboni zizinji, bzinthu bzimwebzi upfunzise wanthu wakukhulupirika ndipo iwo an’dzakhala wakuthemera kupfunzisambo wanthu winango.
3 Ninga mcikunda wabwino wa Kristu Jezu, khala wakukonzeka kugumana na mabvuto.
4 Palibe munthu omwe ambacita basa la ucikunda acicitambo mabasa* ya ntsiku na ntsiku yomwe wanthu ambacita, thangwe ambafuna kukondwesa munthu omwe adamupitisa basa la ucikundalo.
5 Ndipo napo wale omwe ambacita mapici, palibe ne na m’bodziyo omwe angatambire mabaibai* akasaya kuteweza malamulo ya mapiciyo.
6 Ndipo mulimi omwe ambaphata basa mwa nyongo, ndiye omwe an’funika kuyamba kudya bzisapo bza m’munda mwace.
7 Pitiriza kukumbukira bzinthu bzomwe ndikukuuzabzi ndipo Mbuya an’dzakuthandiza kuti ubvesese* bzinthu bzentse.
8 Kumbukira kuti Jezu Kristu adalamusidwa kwa anyakufa ndipo akhali wa m’dzinza la Davide,* mwakubverana na mafala yabwino yomwe ndikupalizira.
9 Inepano ndikubonera ndipo ndikumangidwa ninga kambowa thangwe ra mafalaya. Tsono fala la Mulungu liribe kumangidwa.
10 Ndipopa inepano ndikupitiriza kupirira bzinthu bzentse thangwe ra anyakusankhulidwa na Mulungu, kuti iwombo adzapulumusidwe thangwe ra kukhala wakuphatana na Kristu Jezu, acidzakhala na ulemerero bwakusaya kumala.
11 Mafalaya njacadidi: Penu tidafa naye pabodzi, tin’dzakhalambo na moyo pabodzi na iye.
12 Tikapitiriza kupirira, tin’dzatongambo naye pabodzi ninga amambo; tikamulamba, iye an’dzatilambambo;
13 tikakhala wakusaya kukhulupirika, iye an’pitiriza kukhala wakukhulupirika, pakuti angabzilambe lini yekha.
14 Pitiriza kuwakumbusa bzinthu bzimwebzi na kuwapfunzisa* pamaso pa Mulungu, kuti aleke kunesana thangwe ra mafala, pakuti bzinthu bzimwebzi bzimbathandiza lini ne na pang’onopo ndipo bzimbadzonga wale omwe ambabzitetekera.
15 Cita bzentse bzomwe ungakwanise kuti ubvumidwe na Mulungu ninga nyabasa omwe alibe mathangwe yakucitira manyazi, omwe ambaphatisa basa bwino mafala ya cadidi.
16 Ndipo tcenkha nkhani zapezi-pezi zomwe zimbaipisa bzinthu bzakucena, pakuti bzimwebzi bzin’dzatsogolera wanthu kufika pakucitiratu bzinthu bzakuipa,
17 ndipo mafala yawo yan’dzamwazika ninga cironda ca njinda. Himeneu na Fileto ni abodzi mwa wanthu amwewa.
18 Amuna amwewa asiya cadidi mwa kulewa kuti kulamusidwa kwa anyakufa kudacitika kale ndipo akudzonga cikhulupiro ca winango.
19 Tsono aliserse yakulimba ya Mulungu ikalipo, ndipo idanembedwa mafala* yakuti: “Yahova ambadziwa wanthu wace,” ndipo padanembedwambo mafala yakuti: “Munthu ali-wentse omwe an’cemera dzina la Yahova asiye bzinthu bzakuipa.”
20 Mu nyumba ikulu mumbakhala lini bzombo bza oro na bza prata* basi, koma mumbakhalambo bzombo bza matabwa na bza dongo. Bzombo bzinango mpsakuphatisira basa lakulemekezeka ndipo bzinango mpsakuphatisira basa lakusaya kulemekezeka.
21 Na tenepo, penu munthu an’tcenkha bzombo bzakusaya kulemekezekabzi, iye an’dzakhala combo cakuphatisira basa lakulemekezeka, cakucena, cakufunika kwa mbuya wace na cakukonzeka kuphatisidwa basa liri-lentse labwino.
22 Tenepo, thawa bzikhumbo bza utswaka ndipo tewera cirungamo, cikhulupiro, lufoyi, mtendere ndipo cita bzimwebzi pabodzi na wale omwe ambacemera Mbuya na mtima wakucena.
23 Kuthumizira bzimwebzi, tcenkha nkhani zakupusa na zakusaya basa, thangwe un’dziwa kuti bzimwebzi bzimbacitisa kuti wanthu ayambe kunesana.
24 Pakuti kapolo wa Mbuya an’funika lini kunesana na wanthu, koma an’funika kudekera mtima* wanthu wentse, akhale wakuthemera kupfunzisa ndipo an’funikambo kukhala wakubziphata akacitiridwa bzakuipa,
25 wakupfunzisa mwakuderekha wale omwe ambalamba bzomwe iye ambalewa kuti pinango Mulungu angawapase mtima wakukungula,* omwe ungawacitise kudziwa cadidi caico.
26 Mwa njira imweyi iwo angakwanise kuzindikira, acipulumuka pa diwa la* Dyabu, thangwe iwo adaphatiwa na moyo kuti ambacite bzomwe Dyabuyo ambafuna.
