1 Etu̱we nga abakwete kukolela hamui na Luhanga, niibuwo twabesengeleli̱ya tuti ngughuma esi aabaghiliiye sitabakwi̱la busa. 2 Nanga Luhanga akughilagha ati,

Mu̱ntegheeleli̱ye, buni niibuwo bwile bwa Luhanga kubaghilila kisa, kandi bwile bwa kubajuna kifubilo kya bibhi byanu.

3 Si̱ye Paulo nʼaba nkukolagha nabo, tatukukolagha kintu ekikutanga muntu weena ku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja Ki̱li̱si̱to, nahabweki taaliyo oghu akutusoghosa ati taaniibuwo twaheeleli̱ya Luhanga kusemeeye. 4 Ti̱ nga baheeleli̱ya baa Luhanga, tukwesindagha mu bu̱li̱ kintu kyona: mu ku̱gu̱mi̱si̱li̱ja kwamaani̱, mu bijibu, kandi mu kubona-bona. 5 Ngi̱ghu̱ syatu baatuhuuye, banji batuta mu nkomo, banji batugumbilana mbabbala kutwita. Tukukolelagha kimui kandi tulaala tutaghwesaghiiye, bunji tulaala njala. 6 Mwoyo ahi̱ki̱li̱i̱ye niiye atukooneeye mu bu̱hi̱ki̱li̱i̱le bwatu, kwetegheeleli̱ya, ku̱gu̱mi̱si̱li̱ja, kughilila bantu kisa kandi kubakunda mu majima. 7 Tu̱kwegheesi̱yagha majima, kandi Luhanga niiye akutuhaagha maani̱. Tukwete byakulwani̱i̱si̱ya bi̱hi̱ki̱li̱i̱ye mu mukono ghwabuliyo na ghwabumesu. 8 Bantu bakatu̱hu̱ti̱ya kandi baatughaya; banji baatwambula banji baatusinda. Banji baatughilamu bahi̱ baa bisubha kuni tu̱ku̱bu̱ghagha majima ghoonini. 9 Twaba ngʼabatamanu̱u̱we kuni bantu bakani̱ye batumani̱ye; twaba nga bantu baku̱u̱ye kuni muboone ngoku tuukaaye; bantu baatufubila bhaatu bataatwita. 10 Baatukolʼo ebitusaaliiye bhaatu twakalagha tu̱dheedheeu̱we bwile bwona; twaba nga banaku bhaatu twaleka bantu bakani̱ye baaba baguudha. Twaba bantu abatali na kantu, kuni bintu byona mbyatu.

11 Bahi̱ki̱li̱ja baanakyanje e Koli̱nto! Twabaghambiiye majima ghoonini; twabooleka ku̱lu̱gha haa mitima yaatu ngoku tubaku̱ndi̱ye kwonini. 12 Tatukwete kubatwalikani̱ya nga bantu tutaku̱ndi̱ye, bhaatu ni̱i̱nu̱we mukwete kututwalikani̱ya nga bantu mutatu̱ku̱ndi̱ye. 13 Ndimabaghambila ngoku nangughambiiye baana banje boonini nti, mutukunde ngoku tubaku̱ndi̱ye. Obu niibuwo bwengani̱ja.

14 Muleke kukolangana na abatali bahi̱ki̱li̱ja. Kukola bi̱hi̱ki̱ye na kukola bi̱bhi̱i̱hi̱ye bikugubha kuba mu bumui bi̱ti̱ya? Buuye kyeleeli̱ kikugubha kuba ki̱ti̱ya mu bumui na mweli̱ma? 15 Ki̱li̱si̱to akugubha ati̱ya kuba mu bumui na Si̱taani̱? Mu̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja akugubha ati̱ya kuba mu bumui nʼoghu atali mu̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja? 16 Ngoku Luhanga akutuukalaghamu, ni̱i̱tu̱we endindi tuli nga Numba yee, ngoku Numba ya Luhanga eliyo haabwatu kulami̱li̱yamu Luhanga enkaha, naatu dhee tukulaghiluwa kuukala mu mulingo Luhanga abbali̱ye tuukalemu, tutaakulami̱ya bisasani̱ bantu beekoleeye kulami̱ya. Nanga Luhanga akaghila ati, “Nkubaakalamu kandi mbabungemu, nkuba Luhanga wabo kandi ebo babe bantu banje.”* 6:16 Kyabaleevi̱ 26:12; Yelemi̱ya 32:38; Jakeeli̱ 37:27
