1 Kuya ndughu tsangu deng'elelani kukala mghati mwe Imtwatsa. Sikwipfa bae ukwandika ghaghala ghanongole ukumwandikilani, kwaapfila agha ghatsomtendani mwemwe mwalangitse. 2 Mwalangitse na awala iwali ka wambwa, awala wose iwotenda ghehile, iwanu iwokomangitsa ukwighana lukuli. 3 Twetwe twa iwanu iwengile ngoma ghendo, si wawo bae, kwaapfila twetwe twomtamanila Imulungu kubitila Ghumuhe wake, na tweghoda kwa kwilunga na Kiristu Yesu, wala ng'atuhuwila lukuli bae. 4 Nene imwenyegho ning'adahile kuluhuwila lukuli, ka kuna imunu kepfikitsa kodaha kuluhuwila lukuli, ayo ng'onibita nene bae. 5 Tsanyingila ngoma mne litsuwa lya nane, nene na imunu wa Isiraeli, wa kabila la Benjamini, Mwebulaniya ghendo, kwa imbuli ye ukukinda Ghamalaghitso, nene ng'ala Mfarisayo, 6 tsanisulukila kutenda achila chambonile Imulungu kobama nitende, mbaka tsaniwadununza iwanu iwomtoghola Kiristu, kwa imbuli ya kutogholighwa ne Imulungu kwa kukinda Ghamalaghitso, nene tsanahela litotso. 7 Lekeni aghala ghose ghambonile ghana fwaida kuna nene, sambi noghona si chinu bae kwaajili ya Kiristu. 8 Si agho ghaliyeka bae, ghose noghona si chinu bae kwaajili ya unoghelo mkulu ng'ani wa kummanya Yesu Imtwatsa wangu.
