1 ¹UPawulos, umpostile kaKrestu uYesu ngokuthanda kukaBawo wethu, noTimoti umzalwana wethu, kwibandla likaBawo wethu eliseKorinte, kunye nabangcwele bonke abakwelase-Akaya lonke: ²Makube lubabalo noxolo kuni, oluvela kuBawo wethu naseNkosini uYesu Krestu.

UBawo woThuthuzelo lonke

³Makabongwe uBawo wethu, uYise weNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu, uBawo wemfesane noThuthuzelo lonke, ⁴osithuthuzelayo ekubandezelekeni kwethu konke, ukuze nathi sibe nako ukubathuthuzela abanye ekubandezelekeni kwabo konke, ngothuthuzelo esithi thina ngokwethu sithuthuzeleke ngalo nguBawo wethu. ⁵Njengokuba iintlungu zikaKrestu ziphuphumela kuthi, kwangokunjalo nothuthuzelo lwethu luyaphuphuma ngoKrestu. ⁶Ukuba siyabandezeleka, kungenxa yothuthuzelo nosindiso lwenu; ukuba siyathuthuzelwa, kungenxa yothuthuzelo lwenu, olusebenza njengokuba ninyamezela ngomonde kwayena loo mabandezeleko sibandezeleka ngawo nathi. ⁷Ithemba lethu ngani liqinile, sisazi ukuba njengokuba nisabelana kuwo amabandezeleko, kwangokunjalo nisabelana nakulo uthuthuzelo.

⁸Asithandi ukuba ningazi, bazalwana, ngembandezelo esayifumanayo kwelaseAsiya: saxinezelwa ngokugqithiseleyo ngaphezu kwamandla ethu, kangangokuba saphelelwa lithemba nokuba siya kuphila. ⁹Saba ngathi samkele isigwebo sokufa, ukuze singazithembi thina, koko simthembe uBawo wethu, yena obavusayo abafileyo. ¹⁰Wasihlangula engozini enkulu yokufa enjalo, uya kubuya asihlangule kwakhona; sibeke kuye ithemba lethu lokuba uya kuhlala esihlangula, ¹¹njengokuba nani nisincedisa ngemithandazo yenu, ukuze abaninzi babulele ngenxa yethu, ngenxa yesibabalo esisesipho esanikwa thina ngenxa yemithandazo emininzi.

Ukuguquka Kwamacebo kaPawulos

¹²Kuba kuko oku ukuqhayisa kwethu: isazela sethu siyangqina ukuba sahamba ehlabathini — ngokukodwa kuni — ngobungcwele nangenyaniso kaBawo wethu, kungengabulumko behlabathi, kodwa ngobabalo lukaBawo wethu. ¹³Asinibhaleli nto ingaphandle kwaloo nto ninokuyilesa niqonde kakuhle, yaye ndinethemba lokuba niya kuqonda ngokupheleleyo, ¹⁴njengokuba senisiqonde ngokuyinxenye: ngomhla weNkosi yethu uYesu, nina niya kuqhayisa ngathi, njengokuba nathi siya kuqhayisa ngani.

¹⁵Ndinethemba elinjalo, ndandizimisele ukuza kuni kuqala, ukuze nibe nobabalo lwesibini. ¹⁶Ndandizimisele ukunivelela endleleni yam eya eMakedoniya, ndibuye ndize kuni ndivela eMakedoniya, nize nindindulule ukuya kwelakwaYuda. ¹⁷Ndandinamathandabuzo na xa ndandizimisele oku? Okanye ndenza amacebo ngokwenyama na, ndisithi Ewe, ewe noHayi, hayi ngaxeshanye? ¹⁸Njengokuba ethembekile okunene uBawo wethu, ilizwi lethu kuni belingenguye uthi “Ewe” kanti “Hayi.” ¹⁹Kuba uNyana kaBawo wethu, uYesu Krestu, owashunyayelwayo phakathi kwenu ngoSilivano, noTimoti, nam, akazange abe ngu“Ewe” aze abe ngu“Hayi,” koko kuye wahlala engu“Ewe.” ²⁰Nokuba mangaphi na amadinga awawenzayo uBawo wethu, kuye athi “Ewe”; ngoko ngaye nathi sithi “Amen” kuBawo wethu, ukuze azukiswe.

²¹Ke nguBawo wethu osimisayo ndawonye nani kuKrestu, nowasithambisayo, ²²yena owasitywinayo, wasinika noMoya wakhe oyiNgcwele ezintliziyweni zethu, ube sibambiso soko kuzayo. ^a a v22 Igama lesiGrike elithetha isibambiso lilizwi loshishino — yintlawulo yokuqala. UBawo wethu usinika uMoya oyiNgcwele njengesiqingatha sokuqala sako konke okusazayo, isithembiso sakhe sokuba uya kukugqibezela oko akuqalayo. ²³Ndibiza uBawo wethu ukuba abe lingqina, ngobomi bam, ukuba andibuyelanga eKorinte ngenxa yokuba ndininyamezela. ²⁴Asikokuba silawula ukholo lwenu, koko sisebenza kunye nani ngenxa yovuyo lwenu, ekubeni nimi niqinile ngokholo.
