1 Kinohimiacha aka phi ikeekhene, mii ki ntu a Kuristo akinoothacha. Nrima aka unoholhelhiya ni Iphumu ya Nlhuku phi nokihimiechesha. 2 Nrima aka uhokelhiya ihuzuni yo uweria uhinomalha, 3 ukhalhawaya wo nlhatu wo mahalha a ashilhoko aka, attu o nikosho naka, kanlhapelha wiira Nlhuku akilhave ni ukimwalhaaniha ni Kuristo. 4 Yayo phi attu o Uisraeli, Nlhuku aapannge awe ukhalha achishaana awe ni waavaha nthimicho awe, alhehanne awe ni waavaha Malhehero awe, ni Inupa awe yo unthimicha ni malhehano awe. 5 Yayo phi uchuulhu wa manyaapwiiya e Iburaniya. Ni Kuristo ayariaka unikoshoni waya. Nlhuku notawara chittu chonkhaye, atotopelhiye mahuku o uhimalha! Aye.

6 Kineera aka phi ilha, malhove a Nlhuku khoochenlhe utimirihiya. Ukhalhawaya kuhiwe kila ntu yarelhe mwa Aisraeli phi ntu a Nlhuku. 7 Mena kahii attu onkhaye anokhuma wi iyari ya Aburahimu, phi nohalha upochera malhehano. Ukhalhawaya Nlhuku ahalheeha Aburahimu wiira, “Ashichulhu inyu o malhehano anohalha ukhuma u Naisaka.” 8 Maana aya anokhalha wiira ayarelhe ntu kahiwe phi ashaana a Nlhuku. Nansho ashaana ayarelhe wo malhehano a Nlhuku phi nohalha wiihaniya ashaana a Aburahimu. 9 Ukhalhawaya malhehano a Nlhuku aneera, “Ikatema vanohalha aya uphiya kinoohokolhia, ni Asara anowa unnyara mwaana.”

10 Kuhiwe yayoru. Arabeka ni ayo ahaayara mavata wa athumwanaya amoka apwiiya Naisaka. 11 Nansho wo wooniha wiira Nlhuku noworia uthanlha, ata yayo ashaana elhi ayo ahinayariaa mena ahinachuwelha waanyulha moombone ni uwonya, 12 Arabeka aheerelhiya wiira, “Mwaana mulhupalhe uyo noowa aarumiya uvara ntheko ni mwankani uyo.” Paahi etu uthanlha wa Nlhuku uri wo uttuna wawe, mena kuhiwe wo ittu iriyoothe ipangiye ni ntu. 13 Thoko Malhove Matakatifu chineera aya, “Kahonttuna Yakhobo, nansho Esau kinonvenga.”

14 Niireke chani etu? Nlhuku vavawo khapannge ittu yo ulhoka? Ata mena! 15 Ukhalhawaya aheerelha ashinna Musa, “Kinonchukulhelha ntu riyoothe kinonthanana aka unchukulhelha, kinomoonelha ikiriri ntu riyoothe kinonttuna aka.” 16 Paahi etu chittu chonkhaye chinokhulhuvelha ikiriri ya Nlhuku, mena kuhii wo mitheko ama chinothanana awe ntu.

17 Ukhalhawaya Malhove Matakatifu aneera Nlhuku aheerelha Nafarao, “Kahouvarani umwene wiira uwaninyu ikuru aka yooniye ni nchina naka niromolhiye mwiilhaponi mwonkhaye.” 18 Paahi etu Nlhuku nomoonelha ikiriri ntu riyoothe nothanana awe umoonelha ikiriri, ni unhelha itiyamaru ntu nonthanana awe unhelha itiyamaru.

19 Vekinaka mmoka inyu nookikoha, “Yakhalhaka chiicho etu, nlhatuni etu Nlhuku noowona attu wiira ahowonya? Mpani etu nohalha uvinga chinottuna awe Nlhuku?” 20 Nansho phi apani inyu, mpaka nkoherere uttuna wa Nlhuku? Chani iyoopwe inowooria unkoha ntu upilhe wiira, “Nlhatuni no ukuupa thoko choo?” 21 Ntu owuupa miapu hanaa ikuru yo wuupa wo ulhoko urinawe miapu miilhi, mmoka wo weesheriya chittu cho maana ni nkina wo weesheriya ikokonokhwa.

22 Chiichammo phiri aya wa Nlhuku. Ahothanana wooniha urushiya wawe ni waahimeria attu achuwelhe ikuru awe. Ukhalhawaya ahaavilhelha chinene attu anrushilhe, yaaphwanelhiye ulhakalhihiya. 23 Tho ahothanana woonechesha winchiva wo nthimicho awe animinenlhe awe hii, noonenlhe ikiriri awe, hii nishungilhe awe toka khalhayi niwe naapochera nthimicho wawe. 24 Ukhalhawaya hii phi attu niihanne awe, nihikhumme mwa Ayahudi vekha ayaru nansho tho munlhokoni mwa attu ahiri Ayahudi. 25 Phi chiichammo Athithi chinohimia aya nkitabuni mwa anamilhohi Nahosea,

30 Paahi niireke etu wiira attu ahiri Ayahudi, ahinovarechesha ikekhia, Nlhuku haalhakelha wo nrima urinaya, 31 uno attu o Israeli athothaka malhehero o waapanga ooniye ahopanga chittu chinothanana awe Nlhuku nansho khayaapantte ittu. 32 Nlhatuni etu? Ukhalhawaya khayaari akhulhuvelhaka upisha nrima nansho aakhulhuvelha mitheko chaapanga aya. Paahi etu ahowulhuwelha “Va nlhuku ninokwakwathuwa attu”. 33 Thoko Malhove Matakatifu chilhempe aya,
