1 Balongu bhango, ngati munhobhale Bambo witu Yesu Kristo, Bambo wa ulumbalilu, ngamwapendale bhandu. 2 Tupwagha ngati anahikiki mundu mu nyumba hinu ya kuhimanganila akabya aweti pete ya zahabu na ingobhu inyahi, kabheti kujingila mundu kahochu joabhi na ingobhu yeihakatwike, 3 ngati anamumpekeha utopalela jola joaweti ingobhu inyahi na kumpwaghila: “Tama pambane pandu panyahi,” nambu kahochu jola mumpwaghi: “Wehapa ujema pala,” au “Tama pambane paluhombi, pambipi na magholu ghangu,” 4 bho, ghonihoghu le nga upendeleu pachilanda jino? Bho, kutemula kwinu hoku ngachekubhokana na maholalelu ghinu mahakau?

5 Bhalongu bhango bhapalu, njowanyaje! Bho, Chapanga ngacheakahawili bhahochu bha ndema ghoni bhakubhaje bhana hindu yamaheli ya uhobhalelu na bhapwelelu bha ukolongwa ghoakabhalaghile bhala bhabhumpala? 6 Nambu mwehapa mubhahekatela utopelu akakahochu! Bho, bhana hindu yamaheli ngachebhumbonela mwehapa na kunhutana mbaka palongi ja pachengo? 7 Bho, nga bhombi le bhabhalitondola lihina lela lelibhi linyahi laka Kristo lempekiwi mwehapa?

8 Ngati anamtii Shelia yela ya Ukolongwa ngati moilembakiki mu Malembu Mahuhu, “Umpala njaku ngati moulipalila wamwene,” anankubha muhenga wichu namaa. 9 Nambu anamubhapendale bhandu, mtenda mahoku, na Shelia juntemula kubha mwehapa mbi na mahoku. 10 Kwa ndandi mundu joakamula Shelia jokapi, nambu anahekiti Shelia jimu pela, mundu jonihoju akubha na lihoku la kuheketa Shelia jokapi. 11 Kwa ndandi jombi joakapwaghiki: “Ngawitenda ugone,” bhelabhela akapwaghiki, “Ngawikoma.” Henu anangati ngacheutenda ugone, nambu ukomiki, wehapa uhekiti Shelia. 12 Henu, mpwaghaje na kuhenga ngati bhandu bhabhitemulikaje na Shelia jejileta kulijeka. 13 Maghambu Chapanga ngaikubhi na chiha panaantemula mundu jwangakubha na chiha. Nambu chiha chijiweza utemulo.

14 Bhalongu bhangu, bho kubhi na nyonjeka bholi mundu kupwagha abhi na uhobhalelu nambu ngacheabhi na matendu? Bho, uhobhalelu ngati ghonihoghu uweza kunkengalela? 15 Tupwagha umbona njaku, nkambaku au mbomba ngacheabhi na ingobhu wala chilebhi, 16 bho, anaibhajangatya chindu bholi kubhapwaghila bhanihabha: “Njendaje kwa lukwale mkanyatukya moto na kutupila,” panga kubhapekeha ghaghapalika kwa matamu ghabhu? 17 Bhelabhela, uhobhalelu kanjika jaki pangakubha na matendu, upotile.

18 Nambu mundu aweza kupwagha: “Wehapa ubhi na uhobhalelu, nepani mi na matendu. Nangihaje uhobhalelu waku panga na matendu, na nepani ananukulangihaji uhobhalelu wangu kwa indela ja matendu ghangu.” 19 Bho, wehapa uhobhalela kubha kubhi na Chapanga jumu pela? Ena! Nambu hata majobhi ghahobhalela leniheli, na kubhaghaja kwa choghoi. 20 Ung'ang'a wenga! Bho, upala kumanya kubha uhobhalelu panga matendu upotile? 21 Bho, Ibulahimu hokolu witu akahengiki bhole nahuli kujetakalewa palongi jaka Chapanga? Kwa matendu ghaki, chikahi paakambohiki mwana waki Isaka kubha nyambiku panani ya chihanja. 22 Ubhona kubha uhobhalelu waki ukatendiki lihengu papamu na matendu ghaki, na kubha uhobhalelu waki ghola ukapitalili kwa indela ja matendu ghaki. 23 Henu ghakapitalili Malembu ghaghapwagha: “Ibulahimu akunhobhali Chapanga, na kwa uhobhalelu waki akajetakaliwi palongi jaka Chapanga kubha mundu wambone.” Bhela Ibulahimu akalowakiki nkochi waka Chapanga. 24 Mlola kubha mundu ajetakalewa palongi jaka Chapanga kwa matendu ghaki, na nga kwa uhobhalelu kanjika jaki.

25 Bhelabhela, hata Lahabu nkemi jola, bho, ngacheakabhalangiki kubha ajetakaliwi palongi jaka Chapanga kwa matendu, chikahi paakabhajopali bhalalukila bha mambu bhala, na kubhajangatila kubhapiha kunja kwa indela najenge?

26 Henu, ngati bhela hyegha panga roho jipotile, bhelabhela uhobhalelu panga matendu upotile.
