Ashinama o ulhuma elhi
1 Yamalheke nkakamwoona mwannama mmoka awelhaka akhumaka mbaharini. Aari ni miuru saba ni inyaka khumi ni kila vachulhu inyaka aari ni mphumburu. Ni vachulhu miuru vawo vaholhepiya machina o ulhava. 2 Mwannama aamoonilhe aka ulhe aalhikaana ni havara, mieto chawe chaari thoko cho nannyoma ni malhaku thoko o kharamu. Inwaa ilhe nkayammaha machiri aya nshene nno ni ihiche awe yo nthimicho ni ikuru yulhupalhe. 3 Muru mmoka wo mwannama o ulhuma uyo woonia wiira wahorakalhihya nikhwata nulhupalhe chinene naaphiyelha umwiiva. Nansho nikhwata no woopiha nno naari ninawonlhe. Attu onkhaye o velhaponi nkayanshanga mwannama o ulhuma uyo nkayanttwara. 4 Attu onkhaye nkayaathimicha inwaa ilhe wo nlhatu no ummaha ikuru mwannama o ulhuma uyo. Tho, yahonthimicha mwannama o ulhuma uyo yeeraka, “Mpani nolhikaana ni mwannama o ulhuma ulha? Phi mpani nooria umwaatakana ikhoto?”
5 Yamalheke, mwannama o ulhuma uyo nkaahiyeriya olhumache malhove o wiikhuwelha ni unruwana Nlhuku. Nkaahiyeriya ikuru yo wiitawara upanga ntheko awe wo mieri makhumi ncheshe khuwa miilhi. 6 Paahi, mwannama nkaachokholha unruwana Nlhuku, nchina nawe, nipuro nawe ni onkhaye anokhalha wiirimu. 7 Mwannama uyo ahovahiya machiri aatakane ikhoto ni waakottolha attu a Nlhuku. Ahovahiya ikuru vachulhu attu o kila ilhapo, kila nikosho, kila nihimo ni o kila nulhumo. 8 Attu onkhaye anokhalha velhaponi anonthimicha mwannama uyo, yayo phi alhe ahilhepiye machina aya nhina ikitabu yo ukumi yo Mwaana o Khondoro aahithiye toka ilhapo ihinaaya wuupiya.
9 “Ntu rii ni maaru o wiiwa, eeweke!
10 Ntu riyoothe thananiye uvariya mateeka, noovariya mateeka.
Ntu neeva akina wo uphanga ni uyo nowiiviya wo uphanga.
Paahi etu attu a Nlhuku avilhelheke ni upisha nrima.”
11 Yamalheke, nkakaamwoona mwannama o ulhuma nkina awelhaka ukhuma vattayani. Aari o inyaka pilhi thoko inyaka cho khondoro, olhumacha thoko inwaa. 12 Ni uyo ahanaa ikuru thoko mwannama o upacha ulhe, nkoonechesha ikuru awe iyo mmiholho mwo mwannama uyo. Nkaakhanyereriha ilhapo yonkhaye ni onkhaye arii mommo ayo unthimicha mwannama o upachera aari o nikhwata nilhamme uyo. 13 Paahi, ahopanga ithikineha chulhupalhe ata nkaakurusha mooro ukhuma wiirimu ukhuruwe velhaponi mmiholho mwa attu. 14 Ahaathepiacha attu yaakhalha velhaponi wo ithikineha yaavaheriye awe upanga vakittu va mwannama o upacha ulhe. Nkaahimeria attu yaakhalha velhaponi aheme isinyago yo ulhikaana mwannama o nikhwata no uphanga nansho nkaalhama ulhe. 15 Yamalheke mwannama uyo ahovahiya machiri o uwuchelhelha iphumu yo ukumi isinyago yo mwannama o upacha ulhe, yoorie wulhumacha ni weevakacha attu onkhaye yahaathimicha. 16 Mwannama uyo ahaakhanyereriha attu onkhaye, olhupalhe ni ashikani, attu o nhakhu ni amashikini, aneethi ni ipotta, attumiye inepo vachulhu miono chaya cho wiimonono ama vayuchi. 17 Nkaachiichiha ntu riyoothe uthuma ama uthumiha ittu iriyoothe yaahikalhe ntu ttumiye inepo iyo, yaani nchina no mwannama ulhe ama inamba cho nchina nno.
18 Vaa phi vavawo vanothananiya irusho vawo! Ni ntu rii ni irusho nowooria ulhamulha maana yo inamba yo mwannama uyo, ukhalhawaya phi inamba irii ni maana o ntu naneshe. Yeyo inamba iyo phi imia sita, makhumi ni sita.
