1 Ndugu zangu, alimu k'amav̱irya kukala anji bule, mana wakathi Mulungu andihokala anahukumu at'u, iyo hukumu ya siswi alimu indakala k'ali kuriko ya at'u angine. 2 3:2-10 Zabu 141:3; Ndhum 10:193:2 1:26K'akuna mut'u ariye iye k'adima kuhenda kosa. Mut'u ariye chamba ananena k'adima kuhereza ludhimi na akanena kosa, be mut'u iye a kamili na anadima kudzizulia na chochosi. 3 3:3 Zabu 32:9Chamba funahendza farasi athuwe zho fuhendzazho, nifumufunge chuma ko kwa kanwa, naye funadima kumugaluza kuku na kuku here fuhendzazho. 4 H'aya, mufano mungine ni wa zhombo zha madzini. Zhombo zha madzini ni vibomu sana na nikuhirikwa ni lupeho lukali. Ela chamba ye dhereva anahendza chende upande fulani, nikuhumira kasukani kathithe kenye na kikenda kuko ahendzako chende. 5 Vikara vizho ndizho virizho lo ludhimi. Ludhimi ni kalungo kathithe sana ukihalanisha na wo mwiri wosi wa mudamu, ela bai lunadzionya na maut'u manji ga kwangalaza. Lola kamare, ts'ets'e mwenga yenye ya moho be inadima kugwiza ts'andzala bomu na ikaocha tsaka zima. 6 3:6 Ndhum 10:19; Math' 15:11, 18-19Bai lo ludhimi nalo ni here ts'ets'e ya moho, lu thele maut'u manji mai na nikumuhendya mut'u akanongeka-nongeka kamare. Ludhimi nikugwiza moho na kunonga-nonga maut'u manji ga mudamu. Nalo lupata uwo moho uwo kula Jehanamu.

7 3:7 Mwan 9:2Nyama osini, hariho a tsakani, a kubururuka, a kuhambala na makalao madzini, nikufugwa ni mudamu. 8 3:8 Zabu 140:3; Arum 3:13; Aefe 4:29Ela k'akuna mudamu adimaye kulugwira ludhimi na kulufuga. Lu thele uthiriri usiwodimikika. Kidza lu thele shumu ya kwalaga.

9 3:9 Mwan 1:26-27Wakathi chamba funamulika Mulungu, ariye ni Bwana wehu na ni Babiyehu, nikuhenda vizho kwa kuhumira ludhimi. Wakathi chamba funaalomberera at'u mai, at'u marioumbwa kwa muhalano wa ye Mulungu mwenye, nikukala funahumira lo ludhimi vizho. 10 H'aya, ko kanwa kamwenga kanamboza maneno ga kumulika Mulungu na ga kulomberera at'u mai. Ndugu zangu, vizho sozho. 11 Vidze dzitso rinadima kwamboza madzi ga p'eho na ga munyu jumula? 12 3:12 Math' 7:16Ndugu zangu, vidze mutini nikuzhala zeituni? Hedu hatha muzabibu kuzhala t'ini? Zho mbai, dzitso ra madzi ga munyu nikumboza madzi ga p'eho?

13 3:13 Arum 12:16Mut'u ariye kahi zenu anadziamba kukala ni mulachu na anaelewa maut'u manji, bai vizho adziambazho na vithuwane na maishage madzo ga ishima. Ni ahende mahendo madzo kwa kuhumira ulachu wa kimulungu, hasiho kudzionya. 14 3:14 1 Akor 3:1-3; Agal 5:20–6:4Ela chamba mu thele dzitso na munadzihendza ninwi enye kare, be musidzilike bule na mukakenga at'u na wo ujeri k'amuuthuwa. 15 3:15 1:5, 17Ulachu wa samupuli iyo, si wa Mulungu, ela ni wa kidhunia. U kishethani na k'aukiroho bule. 16 Mana hat'u hohosi hariho at'u manaonerana kidzitso na manadzihendza o enye kare, bai k'ahakosa h'uwoh'uwo na kila samupuli ya uthiriri. 17 3:17 Math' 5:48; 1 Akor 13:4-7; Agal 5:22-23; Afil 1:9-11Ela uryahu ulachu wa Mulungu, k'auna kaila kokosi na unareha dheri. Ulachu uwo nikuhenda at'u makahenda mbazi na andziyao na makakala ap'eho na mambirikao. Uwo vizho ni kuhenda at'u makahenda mahendo madzo bila kubaguana hedu kudzihendesha. 18 3:18 Math' 5:9At'u mario ni kugwizanya at'u madziokosana, be ni here mario manalaya mbeyu za dheri, mana ao nao mandavuna hachi.
