1 Ashilhoko aka ninoothanana nchuwelhe nnema wa Nlhuku uvahiye aya milhoko cha attu anrumelhenlhe Kuristo, arii Umakedoniya. 2 Attu anrumelhenlhe Kuristo o wowo yaholhikachiya chinene mu uhuvani, nansho uteelhiya nrima waya waari wulhupalhe chinene, nkayaakumiha wo nrima woombone inakhalhaka yaari amashikini mashikinini. 3 Kinowooria uhimiechesha wiira, yahokumiha chittu chinchi chonrie aya ata upwaha chooria aya, wo uttuna waya ashinene. 4 Nkayanilhepelha chinene wiira avahiye nnema wo ukhalha nlhoko mmoka ni hii, mu ntheko wo waakavihera attu a Nlhuku o Uyudea. 5 Nenno naari nlhove nahaakhulhuvelha ihu ata vakani mena! Yaachokhonlhe wo wiikumiha ashinene wa Athithi, yamalheke nkayeekumiha uwanihu, thoko chaattuna awe Nlhuku.

6 Wo yoyo nlhatu uyo nahaalhepelha Natito yaachokhonlhe yoyo ntheko uyo, wiira athepeke ukaviherani munlhokoni mwinyu, mwoorie umalhiha ntheko wo nnema wo ukumiha wo nrima wo woombone ulha. 7 Mwaatti nhanaa kila ittu wo winchiva, upisha nrima ni wooria wulhumacha ni irusho chinchi cho uchuwelha chittu ni nrima wo ukuruvalhelha upanga mwo urera ni nrima wo unittuna. Wo chiichammo etu, ninooweherera wiira nnoothepa urera nrima mu ntheko wo uttunana ulha.

8 Akinoovahani malhehero. Nansho kinothanana uchuwelha ikeekhene yo uttuna winyu chinolhikaana aya ni uttuna wa attu akina. 9 Ukhalhawaya, mwaattiva nhochuwelha nnema wa Athithi Yesu Kuristo. Yayo inakhalhaka ahanaa kila ittu nansho aheepanga nshikini wo nlhatu winyu, ikhalhe wiira wo ushikini waya, ovaheni nhakhu.

10 Wo ulha mwaha ulha paahi kinowuvahani nna nlhove nna, iholhoka mwaatti umalhiha vano alhe aachokhonlhe inyu mweechana alhe. Mwaattiva mwaari o upacha kuhiwe wo ukumiharu nansho wo ulhakelha upanga chiicho. 11 Paahi thoko chinre inyu wo ulhakelha ukaviha ntheko, vano mmalhiheke etu ntheko uyo. Nkumiheke thoko chirina inyu. 12 Ukhalhawaya ntu akhalhaka ni nrima wo ukumiha ittu yo ukaviha, Nlhuku noopochera kila ittu ntu inooria awe ukumiha, kuhii wo chittu chihirina awe.

13 Mwaatti khamphwanelhiye uhuva wiira akina apatte nipesha no uwukuwelhiya nsigo aya, mena! Nansho nlhikaaneke. 14 Kila ittu irina inyu wo uthepa vano yaakavihereke attu ahirina, wiira ni ayo vanohalha aya ukhalhana wo uthepa awe yoovahani mwaatti vanohalha inyu ukwana. Phi chiichammo chinohalha aya ulhikaana. 15 Thoko Malhove Matakatifu chineera aya, “Khungunre chinchi khaarina cho uthepa, ni ulhe khungunre vakani khaawukhuwelhiye.”

16 Kinonshukuru Nlhuku avanhe Natito nrima wo uthanana waakaviha attu, thoko nrima urina aka mii. 17 Kuhiwe ahowiiraka urumelhelharu wiihana wihu, nansho chiicho ahaana nrima wo uthanana chinene waakaviha attu, ata nkayaanirumelhelha wo uttuna waya anene uwa uwaninyu. 18 Vamoka ni yayo, ninonruma munnihu mmoka nkina nototopelhiya chinene wo nlhatu wo ntheko wo uhimiacha Malhove Orera a Nlhuku munlhokoni mwa attu onkhaye anrumelhenlhe Kuristo. 19 Uthepa vavawo yayo ahothanlhiya ni milhoko cha attu anrumelhenlhe Kuristo anittukane munkwahani vanorweeha ihu chittu chikumihiye ni attu chi. Ntheko unovara ihu wo nthimicho wa Athithi ni wooniha nrima wo uttunana ni wo waakaviha attu urina ihu.

20 Ninothanana ushemba ulhaphachiya unooria ukhumelhelha vachulhu mwaha wo weemelhelha wihu alha mahalha o nrima wo uttunana unokavihera ihu alha. 21 Nnikwa ihu uri wo ukhalha ni upanga mwo ureraru kuhiwe mmiholho mwa Athithi vekha ayaru, nansho chiicho mmiholho mwa attu.

22 Paahi, vamoka ni manyonnihu ayo ninonruma munnihu nkina ninlhikanche ihu wo iphiro chinchi. Nkanamwoona wiira hanaa nrima mulhupalhe wo ukavihani mwaatti. Ata vano hanaa nrima wo uthepa wo nlhatu wo upisha nrima urina awe uwaninyu mwaatti. 23 Natito, yayo akarumiya akavihi nanaka ninovara ntheko vamoka wo nlhatu winyu, nansho alha manyonnihu elhi akina alha, yayo phi rumiye ni milhoko cha attu anrumelhenlhe Kuristo, anommaha nthimicho Kuristo. 24 Paahi mwooniheke uttunana winyu chinre aya wo winchiva, milhoko chonkhaye cha attu anrumelhenlhe Kuristo yooneke we ikekhiaye wiira wiishipa uneeshipa aka vachulhu winyu mwaatti phi we ikekhiaye.
