1Nene Jakobu, imtumwa we Imulungu na we Imtwatsa Yesu Kiristu. Nomwandikilani mwemwe ghamakabila kumi na meli yampwililike muisi. Nomlamsani.

13Imunu ang'aghetsighwa, aleke kulonga, “Imulungu konighetsa.” Kwaapfila Imulungu ng'oghetsighwa bae kwa ghehile, wala ng'omghetsa imunu wowose atende ghehile.
14Chila imunu koghetsighwa atende ghehile kwa tsitamaa tsake mwenyegho aku kokweghighwa na ukwonzighwa.

19Ndughu tsangu wanoghelighwa, mkumbuke chinu chino, chila imunu asumke kutegheletsa, lekeni aleke kuwa chilabilabi, wala kusumka kwona maya,
20kwaapfila munu yane maya ng'odaha bae kutenda aghala ighamnoghelesa Imulungu.

22Mleke kwighutsukila kwa kuhulika hela imbuli yake, ila muitendele sang'ano.
23Imunu wowose iyohulika mbuli lekeni ng'oitendela sang'ano bae, imunu ayo keghala ne imunu iyelola chihanga chake mne chilolelo,
24na homalitsa kwilola, kakuka na baho kesemwa pfali.
25Lekeni imunu iyolola ghoya laghitso ilitimile ilitenda iwanu weyanzale, na koghendelela kulikinda, ng'esemwa bae chayahulike, ila kochisang'ana, imunu ayo katsobweda mne chila chinu choyotenda.
26Imunu wowose ang'ebona ka imunu wa dini na ng'olughoma bae lulimi lwake, imunu ayo keghutsukila imwenyegho, na dini yake yahela sang'ano.
27Dini inoghile na ilihela totso hachinga ha Aba wetu Imulungu, iyo ino ano, kuwapfila iwachuwa ne pfitsuka mne maghayo ghawo, na kukala kutali na ghehile ighali muisi.
