1 Anaa indewo ni uhiiwananiya munlhokoni mwinyu mmo chinokhuma vayi? Chani khachimmwiihiya ni itama inoothemwihani mwiiruttuni mwinyu iyo? 2 Nnoothanana upatta ittu, nansho ukhalhawaya khannopatta, paahi etu nnowiiva ni woona ihache. Phi naatakana inyu indewo nansho khannopatta ittu inothanana inyu ukhalhawaya khannonlhepelha Nlhuku. 3 Vanonlhepelha inyu Nlhuku vawo khannopatta ukhalhawaya nnolhepelha wo nrima wo uhilhoka. Nnolhepelha wiira mmwonihiye itama chinyu. 4 Inyu mwaati o ulhuva va! Khanchuwenlhe wiira uttuna chittu cho mwiilhaponi mu phi wiipanga amalhaponi a Nlhuku? Paahi etu ntu nottuna chittu cho mwiilhaponi yoyo heepanga mmalhaponi a Nlhuku. 5 Paahi etu nhaanyihere wiira Malhove Matakatifu anoolhumacha malhove o uhikhalha maana vaneera aya, “Nlhuku nowoona ihache chinene wo Iphumu yenshe awe mwiiruttuni mwihu.” 6 Nansho Nlhuku honivaha nnema mulhupalhe chinene, thoko chilhepiye aya wiira, “Nlhuku nowaavenga attu o mahuchuru, nansho nowaavaha nnema mulhupalhe attu o wiitimarikha.”

Vano inyu phi apani nnaahukumulha akhunaninyuva?

13 Paahi nkiiwelhelheke vano, mwaatti nneera, “Lhelho ama meelho ninoorwaa ilha iwani ilha ama ikina, nirwee nakhalheke wowo iyaakha imoka, napange maronda ni upatta ifaida.” 14 Mwaatti khanchuwenlhe chinohalha aya ukhalha meelho! Ukhalhawaya mwaatti nri thoko ittapwe inoonia wo ikatema ikhuvi nansho kaanyuma inoowalhawalha. 15 Mwaatti nnophavelhiya wiira, “Nlhuku Athithi attunaka, ninookhalha akumi ni upanga ilha ni ilha.” 16 Nansho mwaatti vano nnowiishipa ni wiichoona. Wowo wiititihacha wonkhaye uwo uri wo uhilhoka.

17 Paahi etu, ntu chuwenlhe upanga morera nansho hipangaka, yoyo howonya.
