3 Twetwe twa iwanu iwengile ngoma ghendo, si wawo bae, kwaapfila twetwe twomtamanila Imulungu kubitila Ghumuhe wake, na tweghoda kwa kwilunga na Kiristu Yesu, wala ng'atuhuwila lukuli bae.
4 Nene imwenyegho ning'adahile kuluhuwila lukuli, ka kuna imunu kepfikitsa kodaha kuluhuwila lukuli, ayo ng'onibita nene bae.
5 Tsanyingila ngoma mne litsuwa lya nane, nene na imunu wa Isiraeli, wa kabila la Benjamini, Mwebulaniya ghendo, kwa imbuli ye ukukinda Ghamalaghitso, nene ng'ala Mfarisayo,

7 Lekeni aghala ghose ghambonile ghana fwaida kuna nene, sambi noghona si chinu bae kwaajili ya Kiristu.
8 Si agho ghaliyeka bae, ghose noghona si chinu bae kwaajili ya unoghelo mkulu ng'ani wa kummanya Yesu Imtwatsa wangu. Kwaajili yake nyasa chila ichinu, noghona agho ghose ka mipfi, ili nimpate Kiristu,

10 Nobama nimmanye Kiristu ne ingupfu ye ukutsilihuka kwake, nobama kudununzika hamwe naye, na ukwighala naye mne lifwa lyake,
11 aku nani nololela nitsotsilihulighwa.

14 notsuma mvike hanibama kupfika ili nibokele ghweko lya ughima wa matsuwa ghose, ghweko lyang'emele Imulungu kubitila Yesu Kiristu.
15 Twetwe twose itukomale twipfikitse ghagho, hata ka mwopfikitsa pfingi, Imulungu katsowalangusani mwatsimwatsi.
