2 KuTimoti 4

¹Ndiyaqononondisa mna ngoko emehlweni kaThixo, neNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, oza kugweba abaphilileyo nabafileyo, kwanangokubonakala kwakhe nobukumkani bakhe:

²livakalise ilizwi; zingisa ukwenjenjalo ngamathuba alungileyo naxakileyo; yohlwaya, khalimela, vuselela, unako konke ukuzeka kade umsindo, nokufundisa.

³Kuba kuya kubakho ixesha abangayi kuyinyamezela imfundiso ephilileyo; baya kusuka ngokweenkanuko zabo bazifumbele abafundisi, bebaba iindlebe;

⁴babeya kuzisonga zimke iindlebe kuyo inyaniso, baphambukele ke kuzo iintsomi.

⁵Ke wena yiba yingcathu ezintweni zonke, nyamezela ububi, umsebenzi womshumayeli weendaba ezilungileyo wenze, buzalise ubulungiseleli bakho.

⁶Kuba mna sendithululwa ngokomnikelo; nalo ixesha lokunduluka kwam likufuphi.

⁷Umzamo omhle ndiwuzamile, ugqatso ndilufezile, ukholo ndilugcinile.

⁸Okokugqibela ndibekelwe isithsaba sobulungisa, eya kundibuyisela ngaso ngaloo mini iNkosi, umgwebi olilungisa; ingabi ndim ndedwa ke, ibe ngabo bonke abakuthandayo ukubonakala kwayo.

⁹Khawuleza uze kum kamsinya;

¹⁰kuba uDemasi wandishiya ngokuthanda iphakade langoku, waya eTesalonika; uKreske uye kwelaseGalati; uTito uye kwelaseDalmati.

¹¹NguLuka yedwa onam. Thabatha uMarko uze naye; kuba unokundinceda kakuhle kumsebenzi wokulungiselela.

¹²Ke uTikiko ndamthumela e-Efese.

¹³Ingubo endayishiya eTrowa kuKarpo, uze uyiphathe ekuzeni kwakho, neencwadi ezo, ngokukodwa ezezintsu.

¹⁴UAlesandire, umkhandi wobhedu, wandenza izinto ezininzi ezimbi; iNkosi iya kumbuyekeza ngokwemisebenzi yakhe.

¹⁵Mlumkele nawe; kuba wawachasa kunene amazwi ethu.

¹⁶Kokokuqala ukuziphendulela kwam, akubangakho namnye unam, basuka bonke bandishiya; kwanga akungebalelwe kubo oko.

¹⁷Noko ke iNkosi yandinceda, yandomeleza; ukuze ngam uvakaliso lweendaba ezilungileyo luzaliseke, neentlanga zonke zive; ndaza ndahlangulwa emlonyeni wengonyama.

¹⁸Isaya kundihlangula yona iNkosi kuwo wonke umsebenzi ongendawo, indisindisele ebukumkanini bayo obusemazulwini; kuyo makubekho uzuko, kuse emaphakadeni asemaphakadeni. Amen.

¹⁹Bulisa kuPriska noAkwila, nakwindlu kaOnesiforo.

²⁰UErasto wasala eKorinte. Ke uTrofimo ndamshiya eMileto esifa.

²¹Khawuleza uze, kungekabi sebusika. Uya kubulisa uYubhulo, noPudens, noLino, noKlawudiya, nabo abazalwana bonke.

²²INkosi uYesu Kristu mayibe nomoya wakho. Ubabalo malube nani. Amen.
