4 Nine leniphetse, nibophatsa tigcili tenu ngendlela lekahle nalefanele, nati kutsi nani nineNkhosi ezulwini.+
2 Phikelelani emthantazweni,+ futsi niwuphaphamele ngekubonga.+ 3 Natsi nibosithantazela+ kuze Nkulunkulu asivulele umnyango wekushumayela livi, khona sitokwati kumemetela imfihlo lengcwele lemayelana naKhristu, leyo lengiboshwe+ ngenca yayo; 4 kuze ngikhulume ngayo ngalokucacile njengobe kufanele ngente.
5 Chubekani nihamba ngekuhlakanipha emkhatsini walabo labangephandle, nisisebentise kahle nesikhatsi senu.*+ 6 Ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi, emavi leniwakhulumako akabe nemusa, futsi avangwe ngeluswayi,+ kuze niyati indlela yekuphendvula umuntfu ngamunye.+
7 Thikhikhusi+ umzalwane wami lotsandzekako, losisebenti lesetsembekile futsi losigcili lengikanye naso eNkhosini, utanitjela konkhe ngami. 8 Ngimtfumela kini kuze nati kutsi sinjani, khona atonidvudvuta. 9 Utawufika na-Onesimuse,+ umzalwane wami lowetsembekile nalotsandzekako losuka kini, futsi batanitjela tonkhe tintfo letenteka lapha.
10 Aristakhusi+ losiboshwa lengikanye naso uyanivusela, naMakho+ umzala waBhanabasi uyanivusela (loyo lenayalwa kutsi nimemukele+ nakefika kini), 11 naJesu lokutsiwa nguJustusi naye uyanivusela, futsi bonkhe laba bangulabasokile. Ngulaba kuphela labatisebenti letikanye nami teMbuso waNkulunkulu, futsi bayindvudvuto lenkhulu kimi.* 12 Ephafrasi+ losigcili saKhristu Jesu nalosuka kini, uyanivusela. Uhlale anithantazela ngekutimisela kuze nime nicine futsi nibe nekukholwa lokucinile kuko konkhe lokuphatselene nentsandvo yaNkulunkulu. 13 Ngiyamfakazela kutsi wenta umetamo lomkhulu ngenca yenu nangenca yalabo labaseLawodisiya naseHiyerapholisi.
14 Lukha+ longudokotela lotsandzekako uyanivusela, naDemasi+ naye uyanivusela. 15 Vuselani bazalwane labaseLawodisiya, naNimfasi nelibandla lelisendlini yakhe.+ 16 Naseniyifundzile lencwadzi, hlelani kutsi ifundvwe+ nasebandleni laseLawodisiya, bese nani nifundza leyo lengayitfumela khona. 17 Nibotjela Akhiphusi+ nitsi: “Ciniseka kutsi uyawufeza umsebenti lowawemukela eNkhosini.”
18 Mine Pawula ngiyanivusela futsi loku ngikubhale ngesandla sami.+ Hlalani nikhumbula kutsi ngiboshiwe.+ Umusa lomkhulu waNkulunkulu awube nani.
