1 Ndughu tsangu, ka mwomtoghola Imtwatsa wetu Yesu Kiristu, Imtwatsa wa utunitso, mleke kuwabaghula iwanu. 2 Tulonge katsa imunu mne mtingano wenu kapfala tsipete tsa nzahabu ne ghamaghwanda ghanoghile, na pfipfila katsa mhingwa kapfala ghamaghwanda ighalalile. 3 Ka mwombokela pfinoghile imunu yula iyapfalile ghamaghwanda ighanoghile na kumlongela, “Ukale hano hane chighoda chinoghile,” lekeni mwomlongela imunu yula mhingwa, “Ghweghwe wime hala,” au, “Kala hasi.” 4 Apfi awo si ubaghutsi bae uli mna mwemwe? Na ukulamla kwenu ng'akulawa bae mne mbutsi tsihile?

5 Ndughu tsangu wanoghelighwa, mtegheletse! Apfi Imulungu ng'awasaghule wahingwa we isi ino kuwa matajiri wa ukutoghola na kuhala undewa wawalongele katsoweng'a wala iwomnoghela? 6 Lekeni mwemwe mwowabetsa wahingwa. Apfi si iwanu wane mali bae iwombunzani mwemwe? Apfi si wawo bae iwowaghalani mwemwe mne libalatsa? 7 Apfi si wawo bae iwoliligha taghwa linoghile lye Imtwatsa, mwemwe yamli wanu wake?

8 Mtsotenda pfinoghile ka mwoghakinda Ghamalaghitso gha chindewa, ighali mne Ghamaandiko Mahenzeluka, “Mnoghele miyagho ka pfawinoghela ghumwenyegho.” 9 Lekeni ka mwowabaghula iwanu, mwotenda nzambi na mwohighighwa ne Ghamalaghitso kwaapfila mwemwe ng'amkindile bae Ghamalaghitso. 10 Kwaapfila imunu iyokinda Ghamalaghitso ghose na kuleka kukinda laghitso limwe, imunu ayo kana totso lya kuleka kughakinda Ghamalaghitso ghose. 11 Kwaapfila yuyula iyalongile, “Uleke utsinzi,” pfipfila kalonga, “Uleke kukoma.” Ka ng'utenda bae utsinzi lekeni kwokoma, ghweghwe ng'ukinda bae Ghamalaghitso ghose. 12 Mlonge na mtende ka iwanu wala iwatsohighighwa kwa Ghamalaghitso ghala ighotenda iwanu weyanzale. 13 Kwaapfila Imulungu ng'atsomwonela libatsi bae imunu wowose iyalihela libatsi. Lekeni libatsi lyohuma ukuhigha.

14 Wandughu tsangu, apfi pfinogha imunu kulonga komtoghola Yesu aku ghamatendo ghake ng'agholangusa apfo? Apfi ukutoghola ako kodahatse kumkombola? 15 Tulonge, kwomwona ndughu yako au dada yako kahela ghamaghwanda na kahela ichijo. 16 Naghwe kwomlongela, “Ughende tseghamba, ukwote ghumoto na ukaje wighute,” lekeni ng'umwing'ile bae ichijo au ghamaghwanda. Apfi chutendile chomwapfila choni? 17 Pfipfila ukutoghola kuliyeka, ka ng'akulangusa ghamatendo, akwo kufwa ghendo.

18 Lekeni imunu kodaha kulonga, “Imunu yumwe kotoghola, na imunu yungi kana ghamatendo!” Na nene nitsomwidika, “Unilanguse lelo ukutoghola kwako kulihela ghamatendo. Nani nitsokulangusa ukutoghola kwangu kune ghamatendo.” 19 Apfi kwotoghola ka hana Imulungu yumwe? Pfinogha! Na ipfinyamkela nawo pfipfila wotoghola pfipfo aku wodedema kwa kupfuka.

20 Kwambotsi! Apfi kwobama ulangusighwe ka ukutoghola kulihela ghamatendo kwahela isang'ano? 21 Pfii imbala wetu Abrahamu pfatendighwe kanogha hambele he Imulungu? Ambe kwa kubitila ghamatendo ghake, hamlapfile imwanaghe Isaka awe nambiko hanu ha kutambikila. 22 Mwakona! Ukutoghola kwake na ghamatendo ghake ghasang'ana hamwe. Ukutoghola kwake tsakutimila kubitila ghamatendo ghake. 23 Apfo Ghamaandiko Mahenzeluka ghatimila, aghala ighalongile, “Abrahamu tsakamtoghola Imulungu, na kwa ukutoghola kwake, Abrahamu koneka kanogha hambele he Imulungu.” Apfo Abrahamu kakemighwa sale we Imulungu. 24 Mwakona, imunu kakoneka kanogha hambele he Imulungu kwa ghamatendo ghake na si kwa ukutoghola kuliyeka bae.

25 Pfipfila, Rahabu ayula pinga chiweghe katendighwa kanogha hambele he Imulungu kwa ghamatendo ghake, hala hayawabokele wapelembi na kuwalapfa kunze kwa nzila ingi.

26 Ka apfila lukuli bila muhe lufa, pfipfo ukutoghola bila ghamatendo kufa.
