2 “Ukhalhawaya ihukumu awe phi yo ikeekhene ni yo ikekhiaye. Ahonhukumulha nthiyana o ishembwere mulhupalhe aapoteriha attu o velhaponi wo ishembwere awe. Hotwarushiya wo nlhatu wo uweevakacha anamitheko a Nlhuku!”
3 Ni ayo nkayeera wo nayelhi,
“Atotopelhiye Nlhuku!
Mwiishi wo mooro unopahacha iwani iyo unoowelha nchulhu wo mahuku o uhimalha ni uhimalha!”
4 Ni ashulhupalhe makhumi melhi ni acheshe alhe ni owupiya akumi acheshe alhe, nkayaawulhuwa makukhu, nkayanthimicha Nlhuku khanlhe vachulhu ihiche awe yo imwene yiirachaka,
“Aye! Atotopelhiye Nlhuku!”
Arusi o Mwaana o Khondoro
5 Yamalheke, nkanaakhumelhelha nlhove va ihiche yo imwene niiraka,
“Muntotopelhe Nlhuku ihu mwaatti anamitheko awe onkhaye,
Mwaattiva onkhaye nnonthimicha,
Ashikani ni olhupalhe.”
6 Yamalheke nkakeewa ittu thoko nlhove no nlhoko mulhupalhe wa attu yeewania thoko namalhove o maashi menchi ni thoko ithari yo uritima chinene yiiraka,
“Atotopelhiye Nlhuku!
Ukhalhawaya Athithi Nlhuku ihu O machiri onkhaye ahotawara!
7 Nittapelhelheke etu ni ushangarara, ninthimicheke,
Ukhalhawaya arusi o Mwaana o Khondoro hophiya ni abibi arusi arii tayari.
8 Ni ayo ahowarihiya ikuwo yo uthereria yorera, itenlhe, yo waaria!”
Yeyo ikuwo yo uthereria yorera iyo phi nooniha mitheko cho iphiro cho ikekhia chipangiye ni attu a Nlhuku.
9 Yamalheke nnepa nkawaakiirelha, “Nlhepeke alha malhove alha. ‘Ahoreeriya attu alhalheiye ulhia ikaramu ya arusi o Mwaana o Khondoro!’ ” Tho nkawaakiirelha, “Yayo malhove ayo phi o ikeekhene a Nlhuku.”
10 Paahi, mii nkakaawulhuwa makukhu ummara mieto chawe kithananaka unthimicha. Nansho nnepa uyo nkawaakiirelha, “Nhiire chiicho! Mii namitheko nkhunaninyu tu thoko inyuva ni ashilhoko inyu, onkhaye ninonhimiechesha Yesu. Munthimicheke Nlhuku!”
Ukhalhawaya ikeekhene yaapatakulhiye ni Yesu, phi Iphumu yoorinhe anamilhohi uhimiacha nttenga wa Nlhuku.
Mmwenlhe Farasi oteelha
11 Yamalheke, nkakoona irimu ihopatakuwa ni uwo kahomwoona farasi mmoka oteelha. Ammwelha uyo eehaniya “O ukhulhuvelhiya” ni e “Ikekhiaye.” Ukhalhawaya phi nohukumulha we ikekhiaye ni waatakana ikhoto. 12 Miitho awe aari thoko malhimi o mooro, neettunke miphumburu chinchi mmuruni. Aari nalhepiye nchina ninhichuwelhiya ni riyoothe ahikhalheru yoyo mwanene. 13 Aari nawanre ikuwo yaapaphiye mphomeni ni nchina nawe yoyo eehaniya “Nlhove na Nlhuku.” 14 Miphingo cho manyaasikari o wiirimu chahonttwara anari vachulhu afarasi oteelha, anawanre ikuwo cho uthereria, chootelha choombone. 15 Uphanga wo wiithia waari ukhumaka uwanoni mwawe wiira aakottolhe attu o velhaponi ni yoyo uphanga uyo. Yoyo phi nohalha waashunga wo ikopo yo iyuuma ni uyo phi nonyakathacha izabibu mu nlhikiti no waamelha izabibu no urushiya chinene wa Nlhuku O machiri onkhaye. 16 Vachulhu ikuwo awe ni vamphanjani wawe aari nalhepiye nna nchina nna, “Mwene o mamwene ni Athithi a manyaathithi.”
17 Yamalheke, nkakoona nnepa mmoka uneemenlhe vachulhu nchuwa, nkawaakhuwelha weerelhaka ashinuni onkhaye yaavava nchulhu wiirimu, “Mmwaacheke! Nthukumaneke vamoka wi ikaramu yulhupalhe ya Nlhuku. 18 Mmwe mwaathowolha iruttu cho mamwene ni iruttu cha olhupalhe o miphingo cha manyaasikari ni iruttu cha attu arii ni machiri ni iruttu cha afarasi ni iruttu cho attu o waawelha aya. Mmwaacheke mmwe mwaathowolha iruttu cha attu onkhaye, iruttu cho aneethi ni cho ipotta, iruttu cha attu akani ni cho attu olhupalhe.”

Mwannama o ulhuma uyo vamoka ni namilhohi uyo onkhaye nkayaatikelhachiya munthapwini nnoparelha mooro wo uka anari akumi. 21 Miphingo chaya chiyo chaheevakachiya ni uphanga waakhumilhe uwanoni wo ulhe nommwelha farasi oteelha ulhe. Ashinuni onkhaye nkayaathowolha iruttu chaya, nkayaawonacha.
