1Yooyo ukati uyo inwaa phaari yotepa ulavilavi wopwaha cikhwamwe capankilyaya Apwiya. Inwaa yahaakoha athiyana yiiraka: Nluku phinryawe ciicammo, wiira nhilye mihokhorokho cothene ciri nluwani?
2Vano athiyana yahaakhula yiiraka: Mihokhorokho co miri ciri nluwani niireliye nilyeke,
3nanso nhokhorokho wo mwiri uri iriyari iluwani, Nluku eenre nhilye, ni nhikwanyakwanye wiira nhikwe.
4Vano inwaa yaheerela athiyana ale: Khweeli khannokhwa.
5Kontha Nluku naacuwela wiira, nihuku ninhaleenyu ulya, anawuuhulyani miitho enyu nuukhala toko Nluku, nuupacera ucuwela yooreera ni yoonanara.
6Woonyaya athiyana wiira mwiri ule uri wooreera ulya ni woociva wamiithoni, ni mwiri woophwanela uvaha ankhili, yahorukula nhokorokho aya ni ulya, ni ciicammo yahaavaha awaanyaya nayo yaholya.
7Phimaana oyeeli yahotthukuwa miitho aya ni yahopacera ucuwela wiira ari phwitipwiti. Yahottotthanihaca matakhuru o mwiri ni yahowaraca.
8Watthekuwaya ncuwa, yaheewa uwuka wophyoo wawaaya Apwiya Nluku weettakaca nluwani. Vano nlopwana wamoca na amwaarawe yaheepitthaca Apwiya Nluku mmirini co nluwani.
9Vaavale Apwiya Nluku yahomwiihana nlopwana ule yiiraka: Uri vayi?
10Ule ahaakhula: Kihowiiwa uwuka wophyoo yawinyu nluwani, vano mi kihoova, kontha kiri pwitipwiti phimaana wiipithilyaka.
11Ni Nluku ahonkoha: Tipani uthonyenre wiira uri pwitipwiti? Uholya nhokhorokho wo mwiri uwirenlyaka wiira uhilye?
12Vano nlopwana ule ahaakhula eeraka: Athiyana akivahilyaa ayo wiira akhale nkhwaaka, yaayo phikivahile mi nhokorokho uyo, ni kiholya.
13Apwiya Nluku yahaakoha athiyana ale: Nyu mpankacenreni ciicammo? Athiyana ale yahaakhula yiiraka: Inwaa phikithepile, ni mi kiholya.
14Phimaana Apwiya Nluku yaheerela inwaa: Upanka waa commo, kihoolapha woopwaha mihuwo cothene ni inama cothene co ntakhwani, unhala weettela wamirimani, ni yoolyaa inhala ukhala ntthupi mahuku othene ookumi aa.
15Ni wariyari waa we ni athiyana ayo, ni wariyari wo ucuulu aa we ni ucuulu wa nthiyana uyo, kinaweesa umwiinani. Yooyo ucuulu uyo unaahala wuurakaliha muru we, ni we unkoorakaliha ikottokottho aya.
16Vano Apwiya yaheerela athiyana ale: Kinawuuncerera coowerya cinyu ukati unkeelenyu ukhala ni irukulu; ni ukati wooyara nnokowoona uwerya; nyu nnokoophavela waapwaha awannyu nanso ayo phinhala wuulamulani.
17Vano Apwiya yahomwiirela Atamu: Ukhala wiira we uheewelela amwaaraa, ni uholya nhokhorokho wawiirenlyaka uhilye, iholaphyaa itthaya iyo mwanlattu wawaa we; muuhuvani unarwaa weelihe mahuku othene ookumi aa.
18Itthaya iyo inkomeela miiwa ni malasi, ni we unkoolya matakhuru o ntakhwani.
19Ni unhala ulya ni nttukuttha nomwiirutthuni mwa, mpaka wanhalaa uturuwela watthayani; kontha we wuupiye ni itthaya, nna va uri ntthupi, ni unaturuwela ukhala ntthupi.
20Vaavale nlopwana ule ahaavaha amwaarawe ayo ncina na Hawa; kontha ayo yaari anumwanaya atthu othene.
21Vano Apwiya Nluku, yahompakela nlopwana ule na amwaarawe ikuwo co nrapala ni yahaawarihaca.
22Wahoolo Apwiya Nluku yaheera: Nkoonani, ntthu ula ri toko hii, naacuwela yooreera ni yoonanara; vano wiira hitaphule ntata nawe, ciicammo arukulaka nhokorokho womwiri wookumi, alyaka nukhala wohikhwa.
23Apwiya Nluku, yahomoomola ule nluwani yo Eeteni wiira alime itthaya yakumihiyaawe.
24Paahi, noomoliyene ntthu ule, yaheesiya Makerupii ookhaliha, mphantte unkhuma ncuwa woluwani yo Eeteni, ni ikatana yoopharela yaarukurerya nceresere mothene, wiira isunke iphiro inrwaa uryaya mwiri wookumi.
