1Ninze Paulo omutume wa Kurisito Yesu, olw’ekiragiro kya Katonda Omulokozi waife, n’ekya Kurisito Yesu ye tulimu n’eisuubi.
2Mpandiikira Timotheo, omwana wange mwenemwene mu kwikiriza. Katonda Lata, ni Kurisito Yesu Musengwa waife akughe enkabi n’emiraala, era akusaasire.1:2: Bik 16:1
Okwekuuma abeegeresa eby’obuguya
3Nkusaba osigale mu Efeso nga bwe nakusaba nga nja e Makedonia, olobere abo abeegeresa eby’obuguya. 4Bakobe bakange agho okwemalira ku nfumo, ni ku kunoonenkereza endyo edh’abantu endeeyiriri edhitakutuka. Ebyo bivaamu bwa kutakana, mu kifo ky’okwegeresa abantu ebya Katonda ebiri mu kwikiriza.
5Mu kiragiro kino tugendereramu okuleetagho okugonza okusimuka mu mwoyo omunaabuufu ogutansalira musango, n’okwikiriza okuziramu buguya. 6Ebyo abantu abandi baabivaaku, baira mu kutakana okuziramu muganhulo. 7Benda okuba Abeegeresa b’amateeka ga Katonda, ate nga bye boogera tibabiidhi, waire byenebyene bye boogera nga beekakasa.
8Twidhi ng’amateeka gaba malungi, kasita omuntu agakozesa mu nsambo entuufu. 9Tugwaine tukimanhe ng’amateeka tigateebwagho lwa bantu batuufu, aye lwa abo abagamenha n’abadheemu abatatya Katonda, n’aboonooni abatali batukuvu, n’abatatya bitukuvu, n’abatemula baiseibwe ni bainhaibwe, n’abatemo abandi. 10Gaateebwagho lwa benzi, lwa badankaanu, abawuuyi, abaguya era abalayira ebiziramu, n’abo boonaboona abakola ebitajiira ku ndhegeresa ntuufu. 11Endhegeresa eyo entuufu, n’eyo ejiira ku Mawulire Amalungi era ag’ekitiisa, aga Katonda asaakibwa, agampeebwa okulangirira.
Paulo yeeyanza Katonda olw’ekisa kye
12Neeyanza Kurisito Yesu musengwa waife, eyampa amaani okukola omulimo guno, era n’abona nga ngwaniire, n’anonda okumugheereza. 13Eira namuvumanga, naamukiriga, era naamwogeraku bubi, aye yansaasira, kuba ebyo nabikolanga mu butamanha, nga nkaali kumwikiriza.1:13: Bik 8:3; 9:4-5 14Musengwa waife yansaasira inho, yampa okwikiriza n’okugonza, bye tufunira mu Kurisito Yesu.
15Ekibono kino kituufu kyene era kigwaine okwikiriza, ekikoba kiti: Kurisito Yesu yaidha mu nsi okulokola aboonooni. Era mu abo nze ndi mberi wa boonaboona. 16Aye Katonda yansaasira, olwo Yesu Kurisito aghange okubita mu nze, omwonooni asinga boonaboona, alage okusaasira kwe okutakoma. Era mbe eky’okuboneraku y’abo abalimwikiriza, ni bafuna obulamu obutawaagho. 17Kyabazinga oyo atakoma, atafa era ataboneka, Katonda omulala yenka, asaakibwenga era agheebwenga ekitiisa ebyanda n’ebyanda. Amiina.

Idhukiranga ebibono ebyo, memale oghange okulwana obukalamu, 19ng’oli n’okwikiriza era n’omwoyo omwamufu; kuba abandi abaaloba okuba n’omwoyo ogwo bafiirwa okwikiriza kwaibwe. 20Mu abo n’omuli Himenao ni Alekisandero be naghaayo ye Sitaani beege obutavumanga Katonda.
