Chiheku chaka Paulo
2 Mutupekya mbekenyu mu mitima jinu. Ngachetunhokihi mundu jokapi, ngachetumuyoningi mundu jokapi, wala kupata hindu kuhuma kwa bhandu bhangi kupeta chela chetupalika kupata. 3 Ngachembwagha mambu ghanihagha nahuli kuntemula, maghambu ngati monajomulili kupwagha, mwehapa mbi mu mitima jitu, hata anakubhi kwa kupotela papamu na mwehapa au kutama papamu na mwehapa. 4 Mili na ukangamalu wamaheli kwa ndandi jinu, nililumbalila panani jinu! Ndwelili chiheku mu mang'ahiku ghangu ghokapi, na chiheku changu nde chamaheli namaa.
5 Maghambu hata patwajingala ku Makedonia, hyegha hitu ngacheyapatiki kupomulela. Tukang'ahakiki kila upambala, kwa kunja kukabhi na kulochana na mu mitima jitu kukabhi na choghohi. 6 Nambu Chapanga, joabhapekeha kujeghaleka mtima bhabhabhi na huzuni, akatujeghi mtima kwa kuhika kwaka Tito. 7 Wala nga kola kuhika kwaka Tito pela, nambu kwa ndandi ja kujeghaleka mtima komumpekihe. Akatulandili ntundu momukabhonili chilolu cha kumona nepani, huzuni hinu ngolongwa na momniholalela nepani, nahuli chiheku changu chipata kubha chikolongwa kupeta chikahi chokapi.
8 Hata ngati nakunhuzunishi kwa baluwa jangu, ngachemona ndandi ja kujuta. Ena, mona kubha baluwa heyi yakumbiniki mtima, nambu kwa chikahi pela. 9 Nambu sajenu mili na chiheku, nga kwa ndandi ukumbiniki mtima, nambu kwa kubha kubhina mtima hoku kukuntendiki mng'ambukaje na kughaleka mahoku ghinu. Kwa ndandi ukumbiniki mtima ngati Chapanga moakapalili bhandu jabhabhinaje mitima na kwa ndandi jeniheji ngachetukumpotiki mwehapa kwa indela jokapi. 10 Kwa ndandi kubhina mtima koaleta Chapanga kuleta mang'anambuku gha mtima, mang'anambuku ghaghaleta ukengaleku, bhela ngachekubhi na ndandi ja kujuta. Nambu kubhina mtima kwa pundema kuleta kupotela. 11 Ndingalyaje ntundu kubhina mtima kongone koaleta Chapanga mokuleti nyonjakelu mkati jitu. Juntendiki kubha bhandu bha kukazana, bhakulikengalela, mwemuyoma, mwendangiha kubha ngachembi na mahoku, mwenkenyamuka, na kubha na choghohi, mwempala nakanopi kutemula uhakau. Ndangihi kwa indela yokapi kubha ngachemwabhili na uhakau kwa mambu ghanihagha ghokapi.
12 Bhela, hata koni nakalembiki baluwa jela ngachejakabhi kwa ndandi jaka jola joahokihi, au kwaka jola joahokakiwi. Nakalembiki nahuli ibhonikanaje hotuhotu palongi jaka Chapanga na muwezaje kubhona mabhete ntundu momkalibhohile kwa ndandi jitu. 13 Nde ndandi tepani tujeghaliki mtima namaa.
Nakanopi ja kola tepani kuyeghaleka mtima, tukahekalili namaa kumbona Tito moakabhelili na chiheku, kwa ndandi roho jaki jakabuludishwi na mwehapa mabhokapi. 14 Nepani nundumbalili namaa palongi jaki, na mu lijambu heli ngachemwambohiki lihamu. Tumpwaghili uchakaka chikahi chokapi, na kola kundumbalila mwehapa palongi yaka Tito kubhili lijambu la uchakaka pena. 15 Upalu waki kwinu ujonjukiki namaa, paakomboka ntundu mombeli bhatii mabhokapi, na ntundu momwakunjopalile kwa choghohi na kubhaghaja. 16 Nhekalela kubha nhweza kunhobhalela mwehapa mu kila lijambu.
