1 Imunu ang'esonga ne myaghe, ikuwatse yamghale hane libaratsa lye iwanu ing'awammanyile Imulungu? Ng'ambe kobamighwa yamghale kwe iwanu we Imulungu. 2 Angu, ng'ammanyile bae ka iwanu we Imulungu watsoihigha iisi?

Ambe ing'awile ng'apfu mwemwe kubokighwa pfinu pfenu? 8 Lekeni mwemwe mwobunza na mwoboka, kuya agho mwowatendela wakiristu wayenu! 9 Angu ng'ammanyile bae iwanu wehile ng'awatsouhala bae undewa we Imulungu? Mleke kwighutsukila, si waghoni wala iwanzinzi, wala iwowatamanila pfinyagho, wala awala iwowasa ne iwamale weyawo, 10 wala wabapfi, wabwa, iwopatika, wang'enye, iwaboka weyawo, wala wane maligho, awo wose ng'awatsouhala bae undewa we Imulungu. 11 Wamwenga wenu tsamkala ka iwanu awo.

Notoghola ka nodaha kutenda chila chinu, lekeni sileka bae chinu chochose chinongotse. 13 Ichijo kwaajili ye munda na munda kwaajili ye ichijo, lekeni Imulungu katsofihinya pfose. Lukuli si kwaajili ye ughoni bae, ila kwaajili ye Imtwatsa, naye Imtwatsa koulolesa lukuli. 14 Imulungu kwa ingupfu yake kamtsiliula Imtwatsa, naye katsotusiliula twetwe pfipfila.

Apfo mwemwe mwa wanu we Imulungu. 20 Kwaapfila tsamghulighwa kwa bei ng'ulu, apfo mumtunye Imulungu kwa ng'uli tsenu.
