1 Nepani nde mzee pachilanda jinu mwehapa mabhazee bhajango, nepani ambaju nakalandili mang'ahiku ghaka Kristo, na mshilika wa ulumbalilu ghowiyekuliwaje panakatae. 2 Nundobha nakanope, mlighohaje lipogha laka Chapanga lelibhi kwino, na kulijemalela, nga kwa kujomalakewa, nambu kwa kupala mabhene ngati moapali Chapanga. Muhengaje lihengu leniheli nga kwa kutokule mbija, nambu kwa mtima winu wokapi. 3 Ngamubhatawala kwa makile bhanihabha bhabhabhekakiki pahi ja ujemalelu winu, nambu mbya ulenganesu kwa lipogha lenihele. 4 Na chikahi Mdima Nkolongwa paanaapitalyaje, mwehapa ananjopalya litaji la ulumbalilu langakuhoa unyahi waki.

5 Bhelabhela nanamu akakombo impalika kubhatii bhazee. Mabhokapi impalika kuliheleya na kutumakilana, maghambu Malembu Mahuhu ghapwagha: “Chapanga abhapenga bhabhalibhona, nambu abhapeke chihomu bhabhaliheleya.” 6 Bhela muliheliaje pahi ja chiwoku chechibhi na makile chaka Chapanga, nahuli ankwehaje mu chikahi chechipalika. 7 Muntweka matatizu ghinu ghokapi, maghambu jombi angoha kwa mambu ghinu ghokapi.

8 Mlilendaje na mbya mihu! Maghambu adui winu Shetani, ayongolota yongolota ngati lihimba lelinguluma, likalonda mundu wa kummemena. 9 Njemakakya lukwale mu uhubhalelo na mumpenga Shetani, koni mkamanya kubha bhalongu bhahobhalela bhajinu pundema pokapi bhapata mang'ahiku ghaghagha. 10 Nambu ananjomwi kung'ahakika kwa chikahi kichokope, Chapanga wa chihomu chokapi na ambaju andoha mwenga kujingila mu ulumbalilu waki wa mileli mu kulombana na Kristo Yesu, jombi mweni anaantenda kubha bhomi kabhete na kumpeke ukangamalu na makili, na kumpeke luhuli lwa chakaka. 11 Uweza ubhi na jombe hata mileli na mileli! Amina.

12 Nundembi baluwa jenjenu jijipi kwa kujangatiwa na Silivano, ndongu ambaju nummanyi na nunhobhalela. Mbala kunjeghe mtima na kulandila kubha lijambu lendenu nde chihomu cha chakaka chaka Chapanga. Njendalya kutamakila mu chihomu cheniheche.

13 Lipogha la bhahobhalela bhajinu bhabhahaghuliki papamu na mwehapa bhabhatama ku Babeli bhundamukila. Bhelabhela Mako ambaju nde mwana wangu mu uhobhalelu andamukila. 14 Ndamukanya kwa upalu wa Kikristo.

Lukwali lukubhaje na mwehapa mabhokapi mwembili muka Kristo. Amina.
