4Nene imwenyegho ning'adahile kuluhuwila lukuli, ka kuna imunu kepfikitsa kodaha kuluhuwila lukuli, ayo ng'onibita nene bae.
5Tsanyingila 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,

7Lekeni aghala ghose ghambonile ghana fwaida kuna nene, sambi noghona si chinu bae kwaajili ya Kiristu.

10Nobama nimmanye Kiristu ne ingupfu ye ukutsilihuka kwake, nobama kudununzika hamwe naye, na ukwighala naye mne lifwa lyake,
11aku nani nololela nitsotsilihulighwa.
12Silonga bae mvika, au nene nitimila, mbe! Ila noghendelela kwikatsa ili nipate ghweko lila, kubitila ghweko alyo Yesu Kiristu imwenyegho tsakanipata nene.
13Ndughu tsangu silonga bae ka nipata, ila notenda chinu chimwe chiliyeka, noghasemwa gha ghumwande, noghalola ighali hambele,
14notsuma mvike hanibama kupfika ili nibokele ghweko lya ughima wa matsuwa ghose, ghweko lyang'emele Imulungu kubitila Yesu Kiristu.
15Twetwe twose itukomale twipfikitse ghagho, hata ka mwopfikitsa pfingi, Imulungu katsowalangusani mwatsimwatsi.
16Leka tughendelele kutenda aghala ghatutendile mwanduso.

18Kwaapfila matsuwa ghose tsaniwalongelani, na sambi nowalongelani kwa ghamasotsi, iwanu wengi wokala ka iwochihila achila chatendile Kiristu mna ghumsalaba.
19Watsomalila kutsimu, mulungu wawo iyo soyoka tsawo tse lukuli, weghodela pfinu pfawo pfe chinyala, wepfikitsa ipfinu pfe isi pfiliyeka.
20Lekeni twetwe twa wenyekaye wa kulanga, kulawa ako twomlolela Mkombotsi wetu kwa kusulukila, Imtwatsa Yesu Kiristu yatse.
21Yeye katsotsighalusa ng'uli tsetu itsikola na kutsitenda tsiwe ka lukuli lwake lwa utunitso, kwa ingupfu ila iyodaha kupfika ipfinu pfose pfiwe hasi hake.
