(B)Buli omu ku mmwe ng’asinziira ku kufuna kwe mu wiiki, abengako ky’atereka, ebintu bireme kukuŋŋaanyizibwa nga nzize. (C)Kale bwe ndituuka ne mutuma abo be munaasiima ne mbawa ebbaluwa ne batwala ebirabo byammwe e Yerusaalemi. Naye bwe kirirabika nga nange nsaanye ŋŋende, kale balimperekerako.

Enteekateeka za Pawulo

(D)Ŋŋenda kujja gye muli nga mpitira e Makedoniya, gye ndimala akabanga akatono. Osanga ewammwe gye ndimala ebbanga eriwera, oboolyawo ndiba nammwe mu biseera eby’obutiti byonna, mulyoke munnyambe buli gye nnaalaganga. Saagala kubalabako kaseera katono, nsuubira okumala nammwe ekiseera, Mukama waffe bw’alisiima. (E)Kyokka ŋŋenda kubeera mu Efeso okutuusa ku Pentekoote. Kubanga ddala oluggi lw’Enjiri lunziguliddwawo, newaakubadde ng’eriyo bangi abampakanya.

10 (F)Timoseewo bw’ajjanga, mumuyambe atereere bulungi mu mmwe, kubanga naye akola omulimu gwa Mukama waffe nga nze. 11 (G)Noolwekyo waleme kubaawo amunyooma. Mumuyambe olugendo lwe lube lwa mirembe, ajje gye ndi. Kubanga nze n’abooluganda tumulindiridde.

12 (H)Naye ebyo ebikwata ku wooluganda Apolo, namwegayirira nnyo ajje gye muli, ng’ali n’abooluganda abalala, kyokka ye n’atayagala kujja kaakano, wabula alijja ng’afunye ebbanga.

15 (J)Abooluganda, mumanyi nti mu Akaya ab’omu nnyumba ya Suteefana be baasooka okukkiriza Mukama waffe, era beewaayo okuyamba n’okuweereza abantu ba Katonda. Kale, abooluganda, mbasaba 16 muwulirenga abantu ng’abo, era na buli omu afube okukoleranga awamu nabo. 17 (K)Suteefana ne Folutunaato ne Akayiko[a] bwe bajja gye ndi nasanyuka, kubanga baaliwo mu kifo kyammwe. 18 (L)Era bansanyusa, era nga nammwe bwe baabasanyusa. Abantu ng’abo musaana mubalage nga bwe musiimye okuweereza kwabwe.

19 (M)Ekkanisa ey’omu Asiya ebalamusizza.

Akula ne Pulisikira awamu n’Ekkanisa ya Kristo eri mu maka gaabwe babalamusizza nnyo mu Mukama waffe.

20 (N)Era abooluganda bonna babalamusizza.

Mulamusagane mu n’okunywegera okutukuvu.

21 (O)Nze, Pawulo, mbaweereza okulamusa kwange kuno, kwe mpandiika nze nzennyini n’omukono gwange.

22 (P)Obanga waliwo atayagala Mukama, akolimirwe. Mukama waffe Yesu, jjangu!

23 (Q)Ekisa kya Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo kibeerenga nammwe.

24 Mwenna mbalamusizza n’okwagala mu Kristo Yesu. Amiina.

The Collection for the Lord’s People

16 Now about the collection(A) for the Lord’s people:(B) Do what I told the Galatian(C) churches to do. On the first day of every week,(D) each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.(E) Then, when I arrive, I will give letters of introduction to the men you approve(F) and send them with your gift to Jerusalem. If it seems advisable for me to go also, they will accompany me.

Personal Requests

After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you(G)—for I will be going through Macedonia.(H) Perhaps I will stay with you for a while, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey,(I) wherever I go. For I do not want to see you now and make only a passing visit; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.(J) But I will stay on at Ephesus(K) until Pentecost,(L) because a great door for effective work has opened to me,(M) and there are many who oppose me.

10 When Timothy(N) comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is carrying on the work of the Lord,(O) just as I am. 11 No one, then, should treat him with contempt.(P) Send him on his way(Q) in peace(R) so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers.

12 Now about our brother Apollos:(S) I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was quite unwilling to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.

13 Be on your guard; stand firm(T) in the faith; be courageous; be strong.(U) 14 Do everything in love.(V)

15 You know that the household of Stephanas(W) were the first converts(X) in Achaia,(Y) and they have devoted themselves to the service(Z) of the Lord’s people.(AA) I urge you, brothers and sisters, 16 to submit(AB) to such people and to everyone who joins in the work and labors at it. 17 I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.(AC) 18 For they refreshed(AD) my spirit and yours also. Such men deserve recognition.(AE)

Final Greetings

19 The churches in the province of Asia(AF) send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla[a](AG) greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.(AH) 20 All the brothers and sisters here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.(AI)

21 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.(AJ)

22 If anyone does not love the Lord,(AK) let that person be cursed!(AL) Come, Lord[b]!(AM)

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.(AN)

24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.[c]
