2 Nijakisi muno mu bhuli njila. Amwi Nejo jone, Abhayaudi bhayanilwe okuswelulilwa okusoka mu Nyamuanga.
3 Mbe nawe jilibha atiki ka abhandi bha Bhayaudi bhanu bhatalibha na likilisha? Angu bhunyatekilisha bhwebhwe obhukola obhwiikanyibhwa bhwa Nyamuanga kubha kutyo-ela?
4 Uli nakatyali, Kukila ao siga Nyamuanga abhonekane kubha we chimali, nolwo kutyo bhuli munu ni mulimi. Lwa kutyo jandikilwe, “Ati utule okubhonekana kubha mulengelesi mu misango jao, na utule okuiga anu owingila mundamu.”
5 Mbe nawe bhukabha obhunyamuke bhweswe nibhwelesha obhulengelesi bhwa Nyamuanga, mbe chaikeki? Nyamuanga atali mulangi-langi anu kasosha lisungu lyae, angu alio kutyo? Enaika okulubhana ne misango je chinyamunu.
6 Uli nakatyali! Mbe woli ni kutiki Nyamuanga kajokulamula Echalo?
7 Mbe nawe echimali cha Nyamuanga chikabha Nichilabha ku lulimi lwani elisoka likusho lyafu ingulu yae, kulwaki nichali nindamulwa lwo webhibhibhi?
8 Kulwaki chisige okwaika, lwa kutyo chabheyelesibhwe na lwa kutyo abhandi abhakomelesha ati chaike, “Chikole obhunyamuke, koleleki agekisi gaje”? Indamu ingulu yebhwe niye chimali.

11 Atalio omunu unu kasombokelwa. Atalio omunu unu kamuyenja Nyamuanga.
12 bhona bhaindukile. Bhenene ku bhona bhatachali na nsonga. Atalio unu kakola agekisi, uli nolwo umwi.
13 Amamilo gebhwe ni nfwa jinu jili abhwelu. Jindimi jebhwe ejibheya. Obhusungu bhwa jinjoka bhuli munda ye minwa jebhwe.
14 Mu Kanwa kebhwe bhijuye bhifumilisho no bhululu.
15 Amagaulu gebhwe ni mangu okwita amanyiga.
16 Obhunyamuke na jinyako jili mu njila jebhwe.
17 Abhanu bhanu bhataimenya injila yo mulembe.
18 Obhubha bhwo kumubhaya Nyamuanga bhutalimo imbele ya meso gebhwe.”
19 Woli chamenya ati chona chona chinu echilagilo echaika, echaika na bhaliya bhanu bhali emwalo ye chilagilo. Chinu ni ati koleleki bhuli minwa jijibhisibhwe, kwibhyo ni ati Echalo chona chimubhaye Nyamuanga.
20 Jinu ni kwa insonga ati gutalio mubhili gunu gulibhalilwa obhulengelesi kwe bhikolwa bhye bhilagilo imbele ya meso gae. Kulwo kubha okulabha ku bhilagilo obhuja obhumenyi bhwe chibhibhi.
21 Mbe nawe woli chikabhulao echilagilo, obhulengelesi bhwa Nyamuanga obhumenyekana. Jabhulisibhwe kwe bhilagilo na abhalagi,
22 echo ni chimali cha Nyamuanga okulabha mu likilisha mu Yesu Kristo ku bhaliya bhona bhanu abhekilisha. Kulwo kubha bhutalio bhutasikene.
23 Kulwo kubha bhona bhakolele echibhibhi, no kukeelelwa likusho lya Nyamuanga.
24 Bhabhaliywe obhulengelesi kutyo-ela kulwe chigongo chae kwa injila yo bhuchungusi bhunu bhuli mu Kristo Yesu.
25 Kulwo kubha Nyamuanga amusosishe Kristo Yesu koleleki abhe mugwatanyisha mu njila ye likilisha mu manyiga gae. Amusosishe Kristo uti bhubhambasi bhwo bhulengelesi bhwae, kwa insonga yo kubhisingilila ebhibhibhi bhinu bhyatulile
26 mu kwingumilisha kwae. Ganu gona gabhonekene koleleki okwelesha obhulengelesi bhwae mu mwanya gunu ogwa woli. Jinu jabhee koleleki atule okukumisha mwenene obhulengelesi, no kwelesha ati kamubhalila obhulengelesi omunu wona wona kulwa insonga ye likilisha mu Yesu.
27 Woli okwikuya kulyaki? kubhelelekelwe. kwo lufukaki? Olufuka lwe bhikolwa? Uli, mbe nawe kwo olufuka lwe likilisha.
28 Kwibhyo echimalisha ati omunu kabhalilwa obhulengelesi kwe likilisha atali kulwe ebhikolwa bhye bhilagilo.
29 Amwi Nyamuanga ni Nyamuanga wa Bhayaudi la? Angu mwenene atali Nyamuanga wa bhanu bha Maanga one? Yee, owa Maanga one.
30 Alabha ni chimali Nyamuanga ni umwi, alibhabhalila obhulengelesi bhanu bhali bho lutendo mu likilisha, na bhanu bhatatendelwe mu njila ye likilisha.
31 Angu eswe echiindula echilagilo kwe likilisha? Uli nakatyali! Obhutasikane nago, eswe echichikomelesha echilagilo.
