Ngoko ke, bazalwana bam abaziintanda, balangazelelwayo, luvuyo lwam, sithsaba sam, yimani ngokunjalo eNkosini, zintanda.
2 UWodiya ndiyamyala, noSintike ndiyamyala, ukuba bacinge nto-nye beseNkosini.
3 Ndiyakucela nawe, sinxulumana senyaniso, bambisana nabo bafazi bazama nam ezindabeni ezilungileyo, kwanoKlemente, nabanye abasebenzisi bam, abamagama asencwadini yobomi.
4 Vuyani eNkosini amaxesha onke; ndiyaphinda ndithi, Vuyani.
5 Ukuthantamisa kwenu makwazeke kubantu bonke. INkosi ikufuphi.
6 Ningaxhaleli nto; mazithi iingcelo zenu ezintweni zonke, ngako ukuthandaza nokukhunga, ndawonye nokubulela, zaziswe kuye uThixo.
7 Lwaye uxolo lukaThixo, olugqithisele kuko konke ukuqonda, luya kuzigcina iintliziyo zenu neengqiqo zenu kuKristu Yesu.
8 Elokugqiba, bazalwana, ndithi, iinto zonke eziyinene, iinto zonke ezindilekileyo, iinto zonke ezibubulungisa, iinto zonke ezinyulu, iinto zonke ezithandekayo, iinto zonke eziludumo lulungileyo, ukuba kukho sidima, ukuba kukho ndumiso, zithelekeleleni ezo zinto.
9 Kwa-ezo zinto nazifundayo, nazamkela, naziva, nazibona kum, yenzani zona ezo; waye uThixo woxolo eya kuba nani.
10 Ke kaloku ndaye ndivuya eNkosini kakhulu, ukuba ngoku kokugqibela kude kwathi ukukunyamekela kwenu okwam, kwabuya kwatyatyamba: enaye nikunyamekele okunene, koko ke naniswele ithuba.
11 Kungekuko ukuba ndithetha ngokuswela; kuba mna ndafunda ukuthi entlalweni endikuyo ndanele.
12 Ndiyazana nobuhlwempu, ndiyazana nobutyebi; kuko konke, nasezintweni zonke, ndiqhelanisiwe nokuhlutha kwanokulamba, nokutyeba kwanokuswela.
13 Ndinokuzenza izinto zonke, ndikulowo undomelezayo, uKristu.
14 Noko ke natyapha ukuba nobudlelane nam ngembandezelo.
15 Nani ke baseFilipi, niyazi ukuba, ekuqalekeni kweendaba ezilungileyo ezi, xenikweni ndaphumayo kwelaseMakedoni, akubangakho nalinye ibandla eladlelana nam, ngokusingisele emcimbini wokunikela nowokwamkela, yaba nini nedwa.
16 Ngokuba, naseTesalonika, kwaba kanye nakabini nithumela, nindinceda ekusweleni kwam.
17 Ingekuko ukuba ndibe ndifuna ukuphiwa; ikukuba ndibe ndifuna isiqhamo esandela emcimbini wenu.
18 Ke ndinezinto zonke nje, ndityebile, ndihluthi, ndizamkele nje kuEpafrodito izinto ezavela kuni: ivumba elimnandi, umbingelelo owamkelekileyo, okholekileyo kakuhle kuye uThixo.
19 Ke uThixo wam wokwenzelelela konke ukuswela kwenu ngokobutyebi bakhe, ngokozuko olukuKristu Yesu.
20 Kuye ke uThixo, uBawo wethu, malubekho uzuko, kuse emaphakadeni asemaphakadeni. Amen.
21 Bulisani bonke abangcwele abakuKristu Yesu. Bayanibulisa abazalwana abanam.
22 Bayanibulisa bonke abangcwele, ngokukodwa ke aba bendlu kaKesare.
23 Ubabalo lweNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu malube nani nonke. Amen.
