1 Wabokeleni wanhu waja kumtamanila kwao Mulungu hakunagangamala goya, sekemuibamilile nao kwavija wogesa viyagwe. 2 Wanhu hawaigalile bule, wanhu wayagwe womtamanila Mulungu na woja kinhu chochose, lakini wanhu waja kumtamanila kwao Mulungu hakunagangamala goya woja mboga mboga ziiyeka. 3 Wanhu woja kila kinhu sekewawabeze waja hawajaga kila kinhu. Na waja woja mboga mboga ziiyeka sekewawataguse waja woja kila kinhu, kwavija Mulungu kawatogola. 4 Vino gweye kwa nani mbaka umtaguse msang'hanaji wa miyago? Mkulu wa msang'hanaji ayo, ayo yonda yasagule kamba kadaha hebu kalemelwa. Na kodaha kwavija Mndewa kodaha kumtenda yahume.
5 Munhu kodaha kugesa hana siku imoja ng'hulu kubanza zose, na munhu iyagwe kodaha kugesa siku zose ziigala. Avo kila munhu yalole kamba viyogesa vinoga. 6 Munhu yogesa siku imoja ng'hulu kubanza zose kotenda avo mbuli ya Mndewa, na munhu yoja kila kinhu kotenda vivo mbuli ya Mndewa kwavija komgwaa nhogolwa Mulungu. Vivija munhu yoleka kuja lujo luyagwe kotenda vivo mbuli ya Mulungu, nayo vivija komgwaa nhogolwa Mulungu. 7 Kwavija kuduhu munhu yoyose vitwili yokuwa mgima kwa mbuli yake mwenyego na vivija kuduhu munhu yofa kwa mbuli yake mwenyego. 8 Avo twahawa wagima twa wagima mbuli ya Mndewa, na twahafa tofa mbuli ya Mndewa. Avo twahafa hebu twahawa wagima twa wanhu zake Mndewa. 9 Kwavija Kilisito kafa na kazilibuka muladi yawe Mndewa wa wanhu wagima na wafile. 10 Gweye habali umtagusa miyago? Hebu habali umbeza miyago? Kwavija hana siku tokwima mgameso ga Mulungu tutagusigwe. 11 Kwavija Maandiko Gang'alile golonga,
“Mndewa kolonga, kamba vija vinili mgima,
kila munhu konifugamila
na kila munhu kolonga, niye na Mulungu.”
12 Kila munhu vitwili, komulongela Mulungu mbuli zake mwenyego.
Sekeumuhonze miyago yatende nzambi
13 Avo tuleke kuitagusa na seketuwakimile waetu hebu kuwahonza watende nzambi. 14 Kwavija niilumba na Mndewa Yesu, nojuwa goya vinhu vose vinoga kudigwa, lakini munhu yokona kinhu kiha kudigwa, kinhu acho kiha kumwake heyo. 15 Wahamgevuza miyago mbuli ya lujo luuja, aho kuduhu unogelwa. Sekeutogole lujo lwako luwe kilamuso cha kumtenda miyago yabanange kutamanila kwake, kwavija Kilisito kafa mbuli yake! 16 Sekeutogole kija kiugesa kinoga kibezigwe. 17 Kwavija Undewa wa Mulungu siyo mbuli ya kuja na kung'wa. Lakini mbuli ya kutenda ganogile, tindiwalo na deng'ho, vose vino volawa kwa Loho Yang'alile. 18 Munhu yomsang'hanila Kilisito kamba avo, komnogeza Mulungu na kotogoligwa na wanhu.
19 Avo tugoge ng'hani kusang'hana mbuli zigala tindiwalo na kuigangamiza. 20 Sekeuibanange sang'hano ya Mulungu mbuli ya lujo. Vose vidigwa vinoga, lakini havinogile kuja lujo londa lumuhonze miyago yatende nzambi. 21 Vinoga kuleka kuja nyama hebu kung'wa divai hebu kusang'hana kinhu chochose chonda kimuhonze miyago yatende nzambi. 22 Gendelela kukigoga kija kiutogola mgameso ga Mulungu wako. Kamweda munhu ija hagesa muumoyo wake kamba kabananga kwa gaja goyogesa ganoga kusang'hana. 23 Lakini munhu yeli na shaka yahaja kotagusigwa, kwavija koja kuno hamtamanila Mulungu, na mbuli yoyose isang'hanigwa bila kumtamanila Mulungu iha.
