1 Pamaso pa Mulungu ndi pamaso pa Khristu Yesu, amene adzaweruza amoyo ndi akufa omwe pamene adzaonekera ndi ufumu wake, ndikukulamula kuti: 2 Lalikira Mawu; khala wokonzeka pa nthawi yake, ngakhale pamene si pa nthawi yake. Konza zolakwa zawo, dzudzula ndipo limbikitsa moleza mtima kwambiri ndi malangizo osamalitsa. 3 Pakuti idzafika nthawi imene anthu adzakana chiphunzitso choona. Mʼmalo mwake, chifukwa chokhumba kumva zowakomera zokha, adzasonkhanitsa aphunzitsi ambiri omawawuza zimene iwo akufuna kumva. 4 Sadzafuna kumva choona koma adzafuna kumva nthano chabe. 5 Koma iwe, khala tcheru nthawi zonse, pirira mʼzovuta, gwira ntchito ya mlaliki, gwira ntchito zonse za utumiki wako.

6 Pakuti moyo wanga wayamba kale kuthiridwa ngati nsembe, ndipo nthawi yakwana yoti ndinyamuke ulendo wanga. 7 Ndamenya nkhondo yabwino, ndatsiriza bwino mpikisano wa liwiro ndipo ndasunga chikhulupiriro. 8 Tsopano mphotho yanga ikundidikira imene ndi chipewa cha chilungamo, imene Ambuye, woweruza wolungama, adzandipatsa pa tsiku lijalo, osati ine ndekha komanso onse amene akufunitsitsa kubwera kwake.

9 Uyesetse kubwera kuno msanga. 10 Paja Dema anandisiya chifukwa chokonda dziko lapansi lino, ndipo anapita ku Tesalonika. Kresike anapita ku Galatiya ndipo Tito anapita ku Dalimatiya. 11 Ndatsala ndi Luka yekha basi. Mutenge Marko ndipo ubwere naye kuno, chifukwa amandithandiza mu utumiki wanga. 12 Ndatumiza Tukiko ku Efeso. 13 Pobwera, unditengere chofunda pamwamba chimene ndinachisiya kwa Kupro ku Trowa. Unditengerenso mabuku anga, makamaka aja azikopawa.

14 Alekisandro, mmisiri wa zitsulo anandichitira zoyipa kwambiri. Ambuye adzamubwezera pa zimene anachita. 15 Iwenso ukhale naye tcheru chifukwa anatsutsa kwambiri uthenga wathu.

16 Podziteteza koyamba pa mlandu wanga, panalibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene anandithandiza, koma aliyense anandithawa. Mulungu awakhululukire. 17 Koma Ambuye anayima nane limodzi, ndipo anandipatsa mphamvu, kuti kudzera mwa ine, uthenga ulalikidwe kwambiri, ndikuti anthu a mitundu ina amve. Ndipo ndinalanditsidwa mʼkamwa mwa mkango. 18 Ambuye adzandilanditsa ku chilichonse chofuna kundichita choyipa ndipo adzandisamalira bwino mpaka kundilowetsa chonse mu ufumu wake wakumwamba. Kwa Iye kukhale ulemerero mpaka muyaya.

19 Pereka moni kwa Prisila ndi Akura pamodzi ndi banja lonse la Onesiforo. 20 Erasto anatsalira ku Korinto. Trofimo ndinamusiya akudwala ku Mileto. 21 Uyesetse kubwera kuno nthawi yozizira isanafike. Eubulo akupereka moni, ndiponso Pude, Lino, Klaudiya ndi abale onse nawonso akupereka moni.

22 Ambuye akhale ndi mzimu wako. Chisomo chikhale ndi inu nonse.
