2 ngokuti, mukuedzwa kukuru kwokutambudzika, nouwandu hwokudakara kwavo,

noudzamu hwourombo hwavo, zvakawandisa upfumi hwokupa kwavo.

3 Ngokuti ndinoita chapupu ndivo,

kuti kudai ngezvevaikona, eya, nokupinda zvevaikona, vakapa ngokuda kwavo,

4 vechitipota

ngokunyengerera kakurutu kuti tiashire ichi chipo noukama mukushandira vakacheneswa.

5 Navo vakaita ichi, chisicho chetaikarira; asi kutanga vakadzipira ngokwavo kunaMambo nokwetirizve

ngokuda kwaMwari.

6 Ngokudaro kudai ngezvetakakumbira Thithusi, kuti iye kudai ngezvaiya aamba,

ngokudaro apedzisewo pakati penyu mushando wenyasha.

7 Ndizvo kudai ngezvomunowanza munezviro

zveshe, mukugonda, mukuereketa, mukuzia, mukutsamwirira kweshe, nomurudo rwenyu kwetiri, wonai

kuti muwanzewo muneuyu mushando wenyasha.

8 Andiereketi ngokumupanga, asi ngokutsamwirira kwevamweni kuti ndiedze gwinyiso rorudo

rwenyuwo.

9 Ngokuti imwimwi munozia nyasha dzaMambo wedu Jesu Kristu, kuti kunyazwi iye waiya

mupfumi, asi ngendaa yenyu wakaita murombo, kuti imwimwi ngourombo hwake muite vapfumi.

10 Muneiyi ndaa ndinoronza kupinimidza kwangu, ngokuti izvi zvakamunakira imwimwi, mwakatangira

vamweni gore rakapera, musikateri kuita kwega, asi mwechidisisa kuita.

11 Asi zvino pedzisai kuzviita, kuti kudai ngezvemwaidisisa kuita, pedzisai pomunokona ndipo.

12 Ngokuti kudai kuripo kuda, nechipo chinoashirika kudai ngezvaanazvo munhu, haiwa kudai ngezvaasina. 13 Ngokuti andironzi izvi kuti vamweni varerukirwe, nemwi mwechitambudzika, asi kuti mutodzane;

14 kuti kuwandirwa kwenyu ngenguva iyi kudetsere kutama kwavo, kuti kuwandirwa kwavozve

kudetsere kutama kwenyu; kuti kuapo kutodzana.

15 Kudai ngezvakanyorwa, “Aye wakaunganidza

zvakawanda aazi kusara nechiro; nouwo wakaunganidza zvishomani aazi kutama chiro.”

16 Asi

ngaabongwe Mwari uwo wakaisa mumwoyo mwaThithusi ukwo kutsamwirira kwendaiya nakwo

pachangu ndimwi.

17 Ngokuti ngegwinyiso iye wakazwa kupota kwedu; asi iye emene, echitsungirira kakurutu, wakabuda

kuuya kwomuri ngokuda kwake.

18 Nesu tinotumira pamwepo naye hama iyo inembiri yakanaka

kuzviara zveshe;

19 andizvopi zvega, asi wakaemeswazve ngezviara kuti ahambe nesu ngendaa yeizvi

zvipo zvinoshandwa tisu, kuita kuti Mambo airikidzwe, nokuonisa kutendera kwedu.

20 Techingwarira kuti munhu asatiitira ndaa ngouwandu hweizvo zvinoshandwa tisu, 21 ngokuti

tinongwarira kuti zviite zvinoremeredzeka, haiwa kwega mukuona kwaMambo, asi nomukuona

kwevanhuwo.

22 Nesu takatuma pamwepo navo hama yedu, yetakaedza nguva zhinji tikaona kuti

inotsungirira zviro zvizhinji, asi zvino iri inopindisisa kutsungirira, ngendaa yegonda guru reinaro

kwomuri.

23 Kudai ndiThithusi, mudetseri wangu nomungani wangu mumushando unoitwa kwomuri; ngendaa

yehama dzedu, ndidzo nhumwa dzechiara, uthende hwaKristu.

24 Ndizvo wonesai kwavari chioniso

chorudo rwenyu, nechokuganza kwedu ndimwi, mukuona kwezviara.
