UTimoti noEpafrodito

19INkosi ivuma, ndinethemba lokuba kwakamsinya ndoba nako ukumthuma kuni uTimoti, khon' ukuze ndihlaziyeke ziindaba ezivela kuni. 20Kaloku uTimoti lo kuphela komntu ozimvo zinjengezam; yaye unomdla ngokwenene kuni. 21Bonke abanye aba baxakeke zizinto zabo, bengayinanze nganto ekaKrestu imicimbi. 22UTimoti yena nimazi kakuhle. Niyazi ukuba wayesoloko ejikeleza kunye nam ekuhambiseni iindaba ezimnandi, kanye oku konyana ethene nca noyise. 23Ndiza kumthuma kuni ke kamsinya, ndakuba ndiyiqondile imeko yokuhamba kwezinto ngakum; 24ndaye ndinethemba lokuba emandleni eNkosi nam ngokwam ndiza kuza kungekudala.

25Ndiyabona ukuba uwethu uEpafrodito, ongumncedisi nogxa wam, enanimthumele kum, mandimthumele kwakuni. 26Ubesoloko enikhumbula gqitha, yaye uva intw' embi kuba nivile ukuba ubegula. 27Kambe wayegulela ukungabikho, kodwa uThixo wamenzela inceba, nam wandivela ngokundikhulula kusizi olungaphezu kolu ndinalo. 28Ngenxa yaloo nto ke ndikungxamele ngakumbi ukumthumela, ukuze nivuye kwakhona nakumbona, nam ndiphumle elusizini. 29Mamkeleni ke ngezandla ezingenamkhinkqi ebudlelaneni eninabo neNkosi. Bonke abantu abanjengaye nje benzeleni imbeko, 30kuba yena obakhe ubomi uphantse ukwahlukana nabo ngenxa yemicimbi kaKrestu, ebubeke esichengeni ukuze andincede apho beningenakundinceda khona nina.
