1 Abhagalatia abhamumu, ni lisoki lijabhi linu lyabhanyamuye? Angu Yesu Kristo atelesibhwe lwo mubhambwa mu meso gemwe?
2 Anye enenda okumenya gunu okusoka kwemwe. Angu mwalamiye Omwoyo mu bhikolwa bhye bhilagilo amwi kulwo kwikilisha jinu mwonguwe?
3 Angu emwe muli bhamumu kutiki? Emwe mwambile mu mwoyo koleleki mumalishe mu mubhili?
4 Emwe mwanyakile mu misango myanfu kutyela, jakabhee chimali jaliga ja kutyela?
5 Angu oyo kasosha Omwoyo kwemwe no kukola ebhikolwa bhya managa mwimwe kakola mu bhilagilo amwi kulwo kungwa amwi no kwikilisha?
6 Abrahamu “Ekilisishe Nyamuanga nabhalilwa kubha wo bhulengelesi”.
7 Kulwejo mumenye ati abho abhekilisha ni bhana bha Abrahamu.
8 Elyandiko lyalotele ati Nyamuanga akabhabhalie obhulengelesi abhanu bha maanga mu njila yo kwikilisha. Iinjili yalasibhwe okwamba ku Abrahamu: “mwawe amaanga gone abhesibhwa amabhando”.
9 Koleleki mpola abho abhekilisha bhesibhwe amabhando lwa Abrahamu, unu aliga ali no kwikilisha.
10 Abho abheikanya ebhikolwa bhye bhilagilo bhali emwalo ye chiimo. Kulwo kubha jandikilwe, “Eimilwe bhuli munu unu atagwatene ne misango jinu jandikilwe mu chitabho che bhilagilo, ojikola jone.”
11 Wolyanu jili abhwelu ati Nyamuanga atakumubhalila obhulengelesi nolwo umwi kulwe bhilagilo, kwo kubha “Omulengelesi kekala kulwo kwikilisha”.
12 Echilagilo chitakusoka mu likilisha, mbe nawe “Unu kakola emisango ejo mu bhilagilo, kekala mu bhilagilo.”
13 Kristo achigululuye eswe okusoka mu chiimo che bhilagilo mukatungu kanu akolelwe chiimo kulwe swe. Kwo kubha jandikilwe, “Afumilisibhwe bhuli munu unu kabhambwa kwiti.”
14 Okene bhwaliga bhuli ati amabhando ganu galiga gali ku Ibrahimu gakejile ku bhanu bha maanga mu Kristo Yesu, koleleki chitule okulamila omulago gwo Mwoyo mu likilisha.
15 Bhaili, eniloma mu chinyamubhili. Nolwo mu katungu kanu omulago gwo chinyamubhili gwamalile okulumatanyibhwa, atalio unu katula okugugaya nolwo okugwongesha.
16 Wolyanu omulago gwaikilwe ku Ibrahimu no lwibhulo lwaye. Itakwaika, “ku nyibhulo,” okwelesha obhwanfu, kulyejo elesha ati ni umwi ela, “kulwo lwibhulo lwao,” unu ali Kristo.
17 Wolyanu enaika ati, echilagilo echo chejile myaka 430 imbele, chitakusoshao lilagano lya inyuma linu lyateyweo na Nyamuanga.
18 Kwo kubha labha omwandu chibha gwijile mu njila ye bhilagilo, gutakejile lindi mu njila yo mulago. Nawe Nyamuanga agusosishe ku Ibrahimu kwa injila yo mulago.
19 Okubhaki woli ebhilagilo bhyasosibhwe? Yaletelwe kulwe bhikayo, kukingila olwibhulo lwa Ibrahimu luje ku bhanu bhaliga bhalagilwe. Ebhilagilo bhyateyweo mu managa mu kubhoko kwo mugwatanya.
20 Wolyanu omugwatanya eyelesha ingulu yo munu umwi, mbe nawe Nyamuanga ni umwi enyele ela.
21 Kulwejo angu ebhilagilo bhitasikene no mulago gwa Nyamuanga? Na katyali uli! Lwa kutyo ebhilagilo bhyaliga bhisosibhwe bhwaliga no bhutulo bhwo kuleta obhuanga, obhulengelesi bhwakabhonekene mu bhilagilo.
22 Mbe nawe, elyandiko libhoyele amagambo gone emwalo ye bhibhibhi. Nyamuanga akolele ati koleleki omulago gwaye ogwo kuchikisha eswe mu likilisha ku Yesu Kristo itule okubhonekana ku bhanu abhekilisha.
23 Mbe nawe anu elikilisha lyaliga lichali kuja elya Kristo, chaliga chibhoyelwe chili emwalo ye bhilagilo kukingila okuja kwe likilisha.
24 Ku lwejo ebhilagilo bhyakolelwe mutangasha weswe kukingila Kristo anu ejile, koleleki chibhalilwe obhulengelesi kulwo kwikilisha.
25 Mbe woli kwo kubha elikilisha lyejile, chitachali emwalo yo mwangalisi.
26 Kwo kubha emwe bhone muli bhana bha Nyamuanga mu kwikilisha mu njila ya Kristo Yesu.
27 Bhone bhanu mubhatijibhwe mu Kristo mwifafishe Kristo.
28 Atalio Muyaudi nolwo Muyunani, mugaya nolwo huru, mulume nolwo mugasi, kwo kubha emwe bhone muli umwi mu Kristo Yesu.
29 Labha emwe muli bha Kristo, mbe muli lwibhulo lwa Ibrahimu, abhali bhwo mwandu lwa kutyo omulago ogwaika.
