1Henu nikabhasihi, bhalongobhangu, kwa k'esa kya muene K'yara, mujhibhosiajhi mibhele ghya muenga ijhelayi dhabihu jhajhikeka, takatifu, jhajhijhedekelibhwa kwa K'yara. Ejhe ndo ibada jha jhomu jhajhimaanisya.
2Bhwala musijhikhesi namna jha dunia ejhe, bali msanusibhwayi kwa kubhomba kabhele nia sya muenga. Muketayi naha mkabhayi kumanya mapenzi gha K'yara ghaghajhele manofu, ghakumfurahisya ni kamilifu.
3Kwa ndabha nijobha, kwa ndabha jha neema jhanipelibhu, kwamba khila munu jha ajhele mugati mwa muenga ilondeka lepi kufikiri nesu juu jha muene kuliko kyajhilondeka kufikiri. Bali, jhikandonda afiki najhi kwa hekima kama ambavyo Kyara abhapelili khila mmonga kiasi fulani kya imani.
4Kwa kujha tujhe ni fiungo fimehele mu mb'ele, umonga lakini sio fiungo fyoha fijhe ni mbombo jhimonga.
5Fefuefu tete jhatujhele twebhamehele tujhele mb'el'e umonga kwa Kristu, ni fiungo khila khimonga kijhe ni njinu.
6Tujhe ni karama syasijhele patalipatali kwa kadiri jha neema jha mupelibhu. Ikajhiajhi karama jha munu ndo unabii, najhibhombekajhi kadiri jha imani jha muene.
7Ikajhiajhi karama jha munu ndo huruma, na jhitumikayi. Ikajhiajhi jhongi ajhe ni karama jha kufundisya, basi, afundisiajhi.
8Ikajhiajhi ni karama jha munu ndo faraja, basi, afarijiayi. Ikajhiayi karama jha munu ndo kuhomesya, abhombayi naha kwa ukarimu. Ikajhiajhi karama jha munu ndo kulongosya, na jhibhombekayi kwa bhuangalifu. Ikajhiajhi karama jha munu ndo kwa kulasya k'esa, na abhombayi kwa kuhobhoka.
9Bhuganu bhusijhi ni unafiki: Mubhudadilayi bhuovu; mkamulayi ghaghajhele manofu.
10Kuhusu luganu lwa bhalongo, mugananayi jhomu kwa jhomu. Kuhusu litengu, muheshimianayi jhomu kwa jhomu.
11Kuhusu bidii, musijhi mutepetele. Kuhusu roho, jhijhelayi ni shaukhu. Kuhusu Bwana, mun'tumikilayi.
12Muhobhokayi mu bhujasiri bhwa mujhe nabhu kuhusu magono ghaghihida. Mujhelayi ni subira mu matatisu gha muenga. Mudumuajhi mu kus'oka.
13Mushirikiajhi mu mahitaji gha bhaumini. Mulondayi njela simehele sysa kulasya bhukarimu.
14Mubhatakilayi baraka bhoha bhabhakabhatesya muenga; mubhabarikiajhi na musibhalaani.
15Muhobhokayi pamonga ni bhabhihobhoka mulelayi pamonga ni bhabhilela.
16Mujhiajhi ni nia jhimonga jhomu kwa jhomu. Musifikiri kwa kwifuna, lakini mubhajhedekelayi bhanu bha hali jha pasi. Musijhi ni hekima juu jha mabhwasu gha jhomu mwebhene.
17Musindepi munu jhejhioha jhola bhuovu kwa bhuovu. Mubhombayi mambo manofu pamihu pa bhanu bhoha.
18Kama jhibhwesekana, kaam kyajhibhekibhu kwa muenga, mujhelayi ni amani ni bhanu bhoha.
19Bhapenzi, musikil'epes'eli kisasi mwebhene, lakini mujhijhepukilayi ghadhabu jha K'yara. Kwandabha jhilembibhu, “'kisasi kya nene; Nene nibetakulepa,' ijobha Bwana.”
20“Lakini ikajhiajhi adui ghwa jhobhi ajhe ni njala, ndesiajhi. Akajhelayi ni kiu, nywesiajhi. Kwandabha ukabhombayi naha, wibetakumpalila makaa gha muoto panani pa mutu ghwa muene.”
21Usishindwi ni bhubhibhi, bali bhutobhesiajhi bhubhibhi kwa bhwema.
