[1] Nze Pawulo omutume wa Kristo Yesu okusinziira ku kiragiro kya Katonda Omulokozi waffe, ne Kristo Yesu essuubi lyaffe,
[2] nkuwandiikira ggwe Timoteewo, omwana wange ddala mu kukkiriza. Katonda Kitaffe ne Yesu Kristo Mukama waffe bakukwatirwe ekisa, bakusaasire, era bakuwe emirembe.
[3] Njagala osigale mu Efeso, nga bwe nakusaba nga ŋŋenda e Makedooniya, oziyize abantu baleme kuyigiriza njigiriza ndala.
[4] Bagambe balekere awo okwemaliranga ku nfumo, ne ku kulondoola enkalala empanvu ez'amannya g'abajjajjaabwe. Ebyo byongera mpaka, mu kifo ky'okuyigiriza abantu ebya Katonda, ebiri mu kukkiriza.
[5] Ekigendererwa mu kiragiro kino kwe kwagala, okusibuka mu mutima omulongoofu, n'omwoyo omulungi, n'okukkiriza okutaliimu bukuusa.
[6] Ebyo abantu abamu babivaako, ne badda mu mpaka ezitaliimu mugaso.
[7] Beefuula abayigiriza b'amateeka ga Katonda, sso nga tebategeera bye boogera, wadde bye bakakasa.
[8] Tumanyi ng'Amateeka malungi, omuntu bw'agakozesa mu ngeri entuufu.
[9] Tusaanye tutegeere nti amateeka tegaateekerwawo batuukirivu, wabula gaateekerwawo abo abagamenya n'abajeemu, aboonoonyi n'abatatya Katonda, abatali batuukirivu, n'abavvoola ebya Katonda, abatta bakitaabwe ne bannyaabwe, era n'abatta abantu abalala.
[10] Gaateekerwawo abenzi n'abalya ebisiyaga, ababuzaawo abantu, abalimba, n'abalayirira obwereere, n'abo bonna abakola ebitakkiriziganya na njigiriza ntuufu.
[11] Enjigiriza eyo entuufu ye yiiyo ekkiriziganya n'Amawulire Amalungi, era ageekitiibwa, aga Katonda atenderezebwa, agankwasibwa.
[12] Neebaza Kristo Yesu Mukama waffe, eyampa amaanyi ag'okumuweereza, era eyalaba nga nsaanira, n'ankwasa omulimu gwe.
[13] Newaakubadde ng'edda namwogerako bubi, ne mmuyigganya, era ne mmuvoola, kyokka yansaasira, kubanga ebyo nabikolanga mu butamanya, nga sinnaba kumukkiriza.
[14] Mukama waffe yankwatirwa ekisa kingi nnyo, n'ampa okukkiriza, era n'okwagala, bye tufunira mu Kristo Yesu.
[15] Ekigambo kino kituufu ddala, kisaanye okukkiriza ekigamba nti: “Kristo Yesu yajja mu nsi okulokola aboonoonyi.” Mu bo nze nsingira ddala okuba omwonoonyi.
[16] Kyokka Katonda yankwatirwa ekisa: mu nze asingira ddala okuba omwonoonyi, Kristo Yesu mw'aba alagira okugumiikiriza kwe okutakoma, era mbe ekyokulabirako eri abo abalimukkiriza, ne bafuna obulamu obutaggwaawo.
[17] Kabaka ow'olubeerera, atafa era atalabika, Katonda omu yekka, agulumizibwenga era aweebwenga ekitiibwa emirembe n'emirembe. Amiina.
[18] Mwana wange Timoteewo, nkukubiriza ojjukire ebigambo by'abalanzi bye baakwogerako edda, olyoke olwane olutalo n'obuzira,
[19] ng'okukkiriza era n'omwoyo omulungi, bye byokulwanyisa byo, kubanga abalala abagaana okuba n'omwoyo ogwo omulungi, bafiirwa okukkiriza kwabwe.
[20] Mu abo mwe muli Yimenaayo ne Alekizanda be nawaayo eri Sitaani balekere awo okuvumanga Katonda.
