1 Kwe iwabala, nene imbala miyenu iyanimwonile Yesu Kiristu pfayadununzike na yanitselunga mne utunitso ula iutsoghubulighwa, nowalombani ghendo, 2 muwe iwadimi we kingili lye iwanu we Imulungu imuwalolesa, muwalongotse si kwa kunanaitsighwa, ila kwaapfila mwobama muwenyegho na ka Imulungu pfayobama. Msang'ane si kwaajili ya sendi, ila kwa ghumoyo ghwose, 3 mleke kuwatawala kwa ngupfu, ila muwe chinu cha kwighighwa kuna kingili alyo. 4 Naye Imdimi Imkulu hayatsolawila, mtsobokela ghweko lya utunitso ing'alikwaghitsa bae ukunogha kwake.
