4 ¹Ngoko ke, bazalwana bam abathandekayo, endinilangazelelayo, nina luvuyo lwam nesithsaba sam, yimani niqine ngokunjalo eNkosini, zithandwa zam.

²Ndiyamkhunga uYodiya, ndiyamkhunga noSintike, ukuba bavumelane eNkosini. ³Ewe, ndiyakucela nawe, wena mlingane wam wokwenene: bancede aba bafazi—balwa nam ngenxa yeendaba ezilungileyo, kunye noKlement nabanye abasebenzi abandawonye nam, abamagama abo asencwadini yobomi.

⁴Vuyani eNkosini ngamaxesha onke; ndiphinda ndithi, vuyani. ⁵Ubulali benu mabwaziwe ngabantu bonke. INkosi isondele. ⁶Musani ukuxhala ngayo nantoni na; endaweni yoko, ezintweni zonke, ngomthandazo nangesikhungo kunye nombulelo, zaziseni izicelo zenu kuBawo wethu. ⁷Uxolo lukaBawo wethu, olungaphezu kwengqondo yonke, luya kuzigcina iintliziyo zenu neengqondo zenu ngoKrestu Yesu.

⁸Okokugqibela, bazalwana, yibhekiseni iingqondo zenu kuyo yonke into eyinyaniso, nebekekileyo, nelungileyo, nehlambulukileyo, nethandekayo, nenconywayo, negqwesileyo, nedumisekayo—niqhubeke nicamngca ngezi zinto. ⁹Izinto enizifundileyo nenizamkeleyo nenizivileyo nenizibonileyo kum—yenzani ezi zinto, aze uBawo wethu woxolo abe nani.

UBawo Uzukiswa Ngesisa Sabo

¹⁰Ndavuya kakhulu eNkosini kuba ekugqibeleni nibuya navuselela ukundikhathalela kwenu—benindikhathalele okunene, kodwa naniswele ithuba. ¹¹Asikuko ukuba ndithetha ngenxa yokuswela—ndifundile ukwaneliseka naphi na apho ndikhoyo. ¹²Ndiyakwazi ukuthotywa, ndiyakwazi nokuphuphuma. Kuzo zonke iimeko ndifunde imfihlelo: ukuhlutha nokulamba, ukuphuphuma nokuswela. ¹³Ndingazenza izinto zonke ngoKrestu ondomelezayo. ¹⁴Noko ke nenze kakuhle ngokwabelana nam embandezelweni yam. ¹⁵Nani, nina baseFilipi, niyazi: ekuqalekeni kweendaba ezilungileyo, ekumkeni kwam eMakedoni, akukho bandla labelana nam ngokupha nokwamkela, ingenani nodwa. ¹⁶Nkqu naseTesalonika nandithumela uncedo lweemfuno zam izihlandlo ngezihlandlo. ¹⁷Asikuko ukuba ndifuna isipho, kodwa ndifuna isiqhamo esandayo ukuze nibe nenzuzo. ¹⁸Ndizamkele zonke izinto, nangaphezulu—ndizele, ndakwamkela ku-Epafrodito izipho zenu, umnikelo onevumba elimnandi, umbingelelo owamkelekileyo nokholisayo kuBawo wethu. ^a a v18 UPawulos uboleka intetho yombingelelo wasetempileni ukuchaza isipho semali samaFilipi njengesenzo sokunqula sokwenene. ¹⁹Aze uBawo wam azizalise zonke iimfuno zenu ngokobutyebi bakhe obusebuqaqawulini ngoKrestu Yesu. ²⁰Ke makube luzuko kuBawo wethu ngonaphakade kanaphakade. Amen.

Imibuliso Yokugqibela

²¹Bulisani wonke ongcwele okuKrestu Yesu. Bayanibulisa abazalwana abanam. ²²Bayanibulisa bonke abangcwele, ngokukodwa abo bendlu kaKesare. ^b b v22 “Indlu kaKesare” ibhekisa kumakhoboka, nabakhululweyo, nezicaka eziqeshwe enkonzweni yomlawuli waseRoma—kungekhona usapho lwakhe.

²³Ubabalo lweNkosi uYesu Krestu malube nomoya wenu. Amen.
