Wa Aebere 1:1-14
1 Walelene, Nlungu anoonga na anamabali-u dhela mwaanamaongela. Atooira vyevi fendo dhinjinji thitho mundhila dho-iyana-iyana.
2 Mbwenye malamboano, liye utoonga na i-yo dhela mwa Mwanee, am’sakunle liye ira akale owachela vyongo vyothene ninga yotuva. Thitho dhela mwa liye, Nlungu atooiri-a ira vakale hora dho-iyana-iyana.
3 Liye unooni-a pama titimi-o la Nlungu thitho ndi ifwanafwani-o yaimbarimbari ya Nlunguo. Thitho madhwee akopolo anokami-a ira vyongo vikalevove. Angamadhi cheni-a vyodawa vi-u, atookala wu dhandha lodyana la Nlungu Nlukhulu.
4 Ee-no liye utokwaranya angelo, moi dhina liva-iwile liye ninga yotuva, tavadhulu maningi kwaranya liwa.
5 Mofwanafwani-a, n’nga ndi ngelo uvi aromile wandeliwavo na Nlungu ira: “We uli mwananga, penene miyo ndili babaa?” Thitho ira: “Miyo ndinodha kala babee thitho liye unodha kala mwananga?”
6 Mbwenye voonga vya hora inofuna liye dharuma okoka Mwanee oroma baliwa vailambo yavathi, liye unoonga ira: “Angelo othene a Nlungu tam’kokorele.”
7 Thitho voonga vya angelwee, liye unoonga ira: “Unoiri-a angelwee kala akopolo thitho unoiri-a arumiwee kala ninga malumi a mulo.”
8 Mbwenye voonga vya Mwanee, liye unoonga ira: “Nlungu ngunouva-a kopolo ira utonge modhowa nodhowa, thitho golomondo la Umwenaa, ndi golomondo la longomano.
9 Wanoodhiveliwana longomano thitho wanooidanana a-vwela malamulo. Ngumwasee Nlungwaa, atouzoza na makhura nouiri-a sangalala maningi kwaranya mamwene afwaa.”
10 Liye unoonga thitho ira: “Mbwiye, voroma mwatookaathei-a ilambo yavathi, thitho dhulu ndi basa la mandhinyu.
11 Vyongo vyothene vyevi vinodha mala, mbwenye nyo munodha kalaove. Mofwanafwana na nguwo yoi inothaala, vyongo vyothenevi vinodha mala.
12 Vyongo vyevi munodha vivindavinda ninga nguwo yolapa thitho ninga yowara moi vinodha chinjiwa. Mbwenye nyo kamunodha chinja, thitho munodha kalaove modhowa nodhowa.”
13 N’nga ndi ngelo uvi aromile liye m’mwandelavo ira: “Ukale udhandha langa lodyana, fiyedha ndidhaa-ela amwidanaa othene vathi va manyalwaa?
14 Angelo othene ndi mizimu yolabela atu enango.* Nlungu unoaruma ira tamalabele atu anofuna liye avulumucha.
