Uvaheriya ni Iphumu ya Nlhuku
1 Ashilhoko aka, vachulhu mahalha o munnepani, kinothanana nchuwelheke rata alha malhove alha. 2 Nhochuwelha wiira, vaari inyu attu ahinchuwenlhe Nlhuku, mwaaholhelhiya ni upoterihiya ni isinyago chihiri ni ukumi. 3 Paahi, nchuwelheke wiira ntu riyoothe noholhelhiya ni Iphumu ya Nlhuku khanooria wulhumacha wiira, “Yesu alhaviye!” Ni chiichammo, ntu riyoothe hinoholhelhiya ni Iphumu ya Nlhuku khanooria wiira, “Yesu phi Athithi.”
4 Mahalha o Iphumu ya Nlhuku ari menchi, nansho Iphumu ya Nlhuku rii mmoka. 5 Iphiro cho ukaviha ntheko wa Athithi chiri chinchi nansho Athithi arii amoka. 6 Chihawo iphiro chinchi cho uvara ntheko, nansho Nlhuku rii mmoka, nooriha mitheko chonkhaye mwa attu onkhaye. 7 Iphumu ya Nlhuku neepatakulha wa kila ntu wo ifaida ya attu onkhaye. 8 Iphumu ya Nlhuku nommaha ntu mmoka nttenga wo irusho, ni ummaha ntu nkina mahalha o uchuwelha chittu, chinothanana aya yeyo Iphumu ya Nlhuku uyo. 9 Iphumu ya Nlhuku yoyo nommaha ntu mmoka nrima, ni ummaha ntu nkina mahalha o waalhamiha attu.

Nommaha kila ntu mahalha ovirikanacha, thoko chinothanana awe mwanene.
Itturi chiri chinchi, nansho iruttu irii imoka
12 Thoko iruttu chiri aya imoka yo itturi chinchi, ni itturi chiyo chonkhaye ihokhalharu chiri chinchi phi nopanga iruttu imoka, phiri aya chiicho wa Kuristo. 13 Ukhalhawaya hiyaano, nakhalhaka Ayahudi ama Ayunani, ipotta ama aneethi, onkhaye nibatiiziye wo Iphumu ya Nlhuku mmoka mu iruttu imoka iyo ni onkhaye nahompochera Iphumu ya Nlhuku mmoka uyo.
14 Ukhalhawaya iruttu khirina itturi imoka vekha, nansho irina itturi chinchi. 15 Yakhalhaka etu mweto waaneera, “Ukhalhawaya mii akihiwe moono, paahi mii akihiwe nhakhu wo iruttu.” Chani, waanohiya ukhalha itturi yo iruttu? Mena! 16 Yakhalhaka nnyaru naaneera “Ukhalhawaya mii akihiwe niitho, paahi etu mii akihiwe nhakhu wo iruttu.” Chani, wo nenno nlhove nno nanhiya ukhalha itturi mwiiruttuni? Mena! 17 Iruttu yonkhaye yakaari niitho, wiiwa ukaari vayi? Ni iruttu yonkhaye yakaari nnyaru, ntu akonrie chani unukha? 18 Nansho Nlhuku ahoopa itturi kila imoka mwiiruttuni thoko chaathanana awe. 19 Yakhalhaka itturi chonkhaye chakaari itturi imoka, iruttu ikaari vayi? 20 Ikekhiaye irii wiira, itturi cho iruttu chiri chinchi, nansho iruttu inokhalha imoka.
21 Paahi, niitho khaninooria wiirelha moono, Akinoothananani inyuva mena muru khunooria wiirelha mieto, Akinoothananani mwaattiva. 22 Anthepa vavawo, inoonia wiira itturi cho iruttu chinoonia ukhalha cho uhuperia chilhe phi chiyo chiri cho ukhulhuvelhiya chinene. 23 Tho, itturi cho iruttu chinaanyihera ihu ukhalha cho uhiphwanelhiya uthimichiya chinene chilhe, phi chiyo chinothimicha ihu chinene, ni itturi chihinoonihiya waattuni phi noshungiya chinene, 24 uno itturi chikina khachinothananiya ulhohiya. Nlhuku mwanene hoopa iruttu wo iphiro chinothanana awe, nkaahelha nthimicho chinene itturi iwukuwelhiye nthimicho ilhe, 25 wiira uhikhalhe umwalhaana mwiiruttuni, nansho itturi chonkhaye chihimelhelhaneke chineneru. 26 Itturi imoka yarakalhaka, itturi chonkhaye chihorakalha vamoka ni iyo. Itturi imoka yatotopelhiyaka itturi chikina chonkhaye chinooteelhiya vamoka ni iyo.
27 Paahi, mwaattiva onkhaye phi iruttu ya Kuristo, kila mmoka inyu phi itturi cho yeyo iruttu iyo. 28 Nlhuku haathanlha attu mmilhokoni mwa attu awe, achokholhaka akarumiya, onayelhi anamilhohi, o neraru owiittuchiha, amalhekeru heesha alhe arii ni mahalha o upanga cho ushangiha ni olhamiha ni okaviha ni aholhelhi ni attu owulhumacha nulhumo nilheto. 29 Chani, onkhaye phi akarumiya? Onkhaye phi anamilhohi? Onkhaye phi owiittuchiha? Onkhaye phi attu arii ni mahalha o upanga cho ushangiha? 30 Chani, onkhaye phi attu ari ni mahalha o ulhamiha? Chani, onkhaye phi attu ari ni mahalha o wulhumacha nulhumo nilheto? Chani, onkhaye phi attu anolhamulha nulhumo nilheto? 31 Nkhalheke etu ni nikakata no upatta mahalha o ukhulhuvelhiya chinene. Ni mii vano kinowoonihani iphiro yoombone chinene upwaha chilha chonkhaye chilha.
