1 Kinothanana nchuwelheke chineera aka wo ukuruvalhelha upanga ntheko wo nlhatu winyu ni wo nlhatu wa attu o Ulaodikiya ni wo nlhatu wa attu onkhaye ahinapacha woona iruttu aka. 2 Kinopanga chiicho mwayini wiira ahelhiye mirima ni ulhutaanihiya muuttunani, acharihiye irusho che ikeekhene wiira achuwelhe we ikekhiaye nlhove nivithiye na Nlhuku yaani Kuristo mwanene. 3 Nhina mwaya chihovithiya mihakhu chonkhaye cho irusho ni cho uchuwelha.

4 Paahi etu, kinouhimeriani wiira nhithepiye ni ntu riyoothe wo malhove o woothachiya anakhalhaka o uchiva chinene. 5 Ukhalhawaya, anakhalhaka iruttu aka rii utayi ni mwaattiva, nansho munrimani mwaka kiri vamoka ni inyu mwaatti, kiteelhiyaka uwoonani nheemelha rata unrumelhelhani Kuristo.

6 Ukhalhawaya thoko chinrumelhenlhe inyu Kuristo Yesu ukhalha Athithi, paahi etu nkhalheke wo ulhutaana ni uyo. 7 Mmelheke mithithaari nhina mwawe, ukumi inyu wiithekeke vachulhu wawe ni nrima inyu weemelheke rata thoko chiittuchihiye inyu. Nkhalheke attu o ushukuru chinene.

8 Mmwehechesheke, ntu hupangeni ipotta wo malhove o woothacha o irusho cho attu anokhulhuvelha meettuchiho o malhehero a attu ni o mashoka anotawara ilhapo, ni mena ahikhumaka wa Kuristo mwanene! 9 Ukhalhawaya, utimira wonkhaye wa Nlhuku urii nhina mwawe Kuristo, mwiiruttuni mwawe. 10 Ni inyu mwaatti nhovahiya ukumi utiminre wo ulhutaana ni uyo rii muru, vachulhu mashoka onkhaye anotawara ni o ikuru onkhaye.

11 Wo ulhutaana ni Kuristo mwaattiva mwaheenelhiya unyawo wo urulha iruttu yo uwonya. Uhipangiye wo miono cha attu, nansho unyawo uneeniya ni Kuristo mwanene. Ni wowo phi woopolhiya ukhuma uttu wo uwonya. 12 Ikatema vaabatiiziye inyu mwaahovithiya vamoka ni Kuristo. Ni wo ubatiiziya uwo mwaattiva chiicho mwahohihimushiya wo urumelhelha machiri a Nlhuku anhihimunshe Kuristo nnookhwani. 13 Mwaari thoko nnakwilhe wo nlhatu wo uwonya winyu ni uhiinelhiya iruttu inyu. Nansho Nlhuku hoovahani ukumi vamoka ni Kuristo. Nlhuku honihiyerera uwonya wihu wonkhaye, 14 vaamalhinhe awe ufuta malhove o milhatu chaari chaanikhalhelha ni malhehero aya, we ikekhiaye ahothamiha onkhaye nkaakhomelhelha vansalaabani. 15 Vavawo vansalaabani vawo Kuristo ahaathurulha machiri mashoka o utawara ayo ni olhupalhe o ikuru, nkoolhihacha muru voonene wo waapurulhacha mumphingoni thoko mateeka avariye ukhotoni wooniha wiira haakottolha.

16 Paahi etu nhihukumulhiye ni ntu riyoothe vachulhu mwaha unaacha cholhia ama chittu cho uwuria ama mahuku o sikuukuu ama isikuukuu yo woonia mweeri ama unaacha Nihuku no Wiittuwa. 17 Yoyo mwaha wonkhaye uyo phi irungu yo mwaha unowa ulhe, nansho ikekhiaye inene iyo phi iruttu ya Kuristo. 18 Nhirumelhelhe uhukumulhiya ni ntu riyoothe neechoona ukhalha o maana wo nlhatu wo ulhohera wo yekha awe, nokurumicha mwaha wo wiitimarikha wo woothiya ni uthimicha minepa o wiirimu. Ntu thoko yoyo neefunelha irusho choothepiacha cho mwiiruttuni mwawe. 19 Yoyo heemwalhaaniha ni Kuristo ri muru o iruttu iyo. Wo iphiro awe Kuristo uyo, iruttu yonkhaye inoolhihiya ni uvaraanihiya vamoka wo ulhutaanihiya ni mithinga chaya, ni wunnuwa thoko chinothanana awe Nlhuku.

20 Mwaattiva nhokhwa vamoka ni Kuristo ni woopolhiya ukhuma machiri o mashoka anotawara ilhapo. Wo nlhatu waani etu nnokhalha tho thoko attu o ilha ilhapo ilha? Ye ishiyani weesheriya malheheriyo wiira, 21 “nhivare ilha ama nhilhawihe ilhe ama nhikwakwanye ilhe?” 22 Yoyo mwaha wonkhaye uyo unaacha chittu chihinopicha utanganyia, yayo phi malheheriyo ni meettuchiho a attu. 23 We ikekhiaye, yayo malhehero ayo anoonia wiira o irusho cho uthimicha wiicheshenre aya ashinene ni wiitimarikha ni upangelha iruttu ushilhilhi. Nansho kharina machiri o uchiichiha nikakata no uhilhoka no iruttu.
