Itendi 20:28-38

²⁸“Mwiteiganje mwashaayene, nnishunganje likundilyo Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo ashikummikanga mmanganyanji mmanganje mmalelanga. Nnishunganje likundi lya bhandunji bha a Nnungu libhaliumile kwa minyai jika mwana gwabho.

²⁹Nimumanyi kuti nyabhulaga ashimaogo ga jogoya shibhannjiilanganilanje na bhakalibhonelanga shiya likundilyo.

³⁰Nkali kukopoka munkumbi gwenunji shibhakoposhelanje bhandunji shibhajiye bheleketanga ya puganya nkupinga bhabhanganje bhaajiganywa na bhaakulupalilanje bhene bhanganyabho.

³¹Kwa nneyo ntamangananje shikupi lola nkumbushilanje kuti kwa yaka itatu, shilo na mui, ngatotoshelaga kunneya kila mundu kwa kunngutanjila.

³²“Bhai, nnaino ngunakummikanga muulinda gwa a Nnungu na kwa lilobhe lya ntuka gwabho, ukunshimilikanga ngunakumpanganga mboka pamo na bhandunji bhabho bhakonjeleywenje.

³³Nne nangalokolila mmbiya wala shaabhu, wala nngubho ika mundu jojowe.

³⁴Mwaashayenenji mmumanyinji kuti njikamula maengo kwa makono gangu, nkupinga mbate indu ipinjikwa, yangu na yashaajangunji.

³⁵Kwa indu yowe natendaga kunnangulanga kuti kwa kamula maengo nneyo tunaapinjikwa kwaajangutilanga bhakakwiikombolanga, akuno tulikumbushila malobhe ga Bhakulungwa a Yeshu bhayene shibhashite bheleketa, ‘Mbaya kulaguya, nngalingana na poshela.’ ”

³⁶Bhakamaliyeje kubheleketa genego, gubhatindibhelenje gubhajujilenje Nnungu.

³⁷Bhowenji bhatendaga gutanga, bhalikwaalajilanga na kwaajambatila a Pauli nnukoi.

³⁸Bhashinkuinjikanga kwa kaje kwa lilobhe libhabhelekete a Pauli kuti bhakaabhonanga kabhili. Bhai, gubhaapelesheyenje mpaka kumeli.
