2 Nunku mutangidi udi ne bua kuikala kayi ne bualu budibu bamubanda nabu, ikale ne mukaji umue, ikale ne nkatshinkatshi mu bienzedi biende, ikale ne meji majalame,*+ muena bulongame, muakididi wa benyi,+ mukumbane bua kulongesha,+
3 kikadi mukuatshiki wa maluvu,+ muena tshikisu,* muena malu makole,+ musue matandu,+ munangi wa makuta,+
4 ikale muntu udi ulombola* ba mu nzubu muende bimpe, muikale ne bana badi bamukokela ne bunême buonso+
5 (bualu bikala muntu kayi mumanye mua kulombola* ba mu nzubu muende, mmunyi mualamaye tshisumbu tshia Nzambi?),
6 kikadi muntu mupiamupia mu ditabuja,+ bua kalu kudiuwuja ne lutambishi ne kupona mu dilumbuluisha didi Diabolo mupete.
7 Bualu bukuabu, udi kabidi ne bua kuikala ne lumu luimpe* kudi bantu ba pambelu,+ bua kabakudi bibi bua bualu buende* ne bua kakuluki mu buteyi bua Diabolo.
8 Bia muomumue, basadidi ba mudimu badi ne bua kuikala bantu ba kunemekibua, kabayi bena mêyi abidi,* kabayi badifila ku mvinyo wa bungi, kabayi ne lukuka lua bintu bipetela mu njila mubi,+
9 bikale balama bualu busokoka bua tshijila bua ditabuja ne kondo ka muoyo katoke.+
10 Bualu bukuabu, banji kuteta bantu aba bua kujadika bikalabu bakumbane;* pashishe benze mudimu wa busadidi bu mudibu kabayi ne bualu budibu bababanda nabu.+
11 Bia muomumue, bakaji badi ne bua kuikala bantu ba kunemekibua, kabayi bashiminyinyanganyi ba malu,+ bikale ne nkatshinkatshi mu bienzedi biabu, bena lulamatu mu malu onso.+
12 Basadidi ba mudimu bikale ne mukaji umue, balombola bana babu ne ba mu nzubu muabu bimpe.
13 Bualu balume badi benza mudimu bimpe badi badipetela muaba wa lumu ne dikima dikole dia kuakula mu ditabuja didi mu Kristo Yezu.
14 Ndi nkufundila malu aa nansha mundi mutekemene bua kulua kuudi aku mu matuku makese emu,
15 bua ne: biobi bienzeke ne: nnengakane, umanye muudi ne bua kuenza malu mu nzubu wa Nzambi+ udi tshisumbu tshia Nzambi wa muoyo, dikunji ne nshindamenu wa bulelela.
16 Bushuwa, mu bulelela bualu busokoka bua tshijila bua dilamata dia Nzambi edi mbunene: ‘Wakamueneka mu mubidi,+ wakabadibua muakane mu nyuma,+ wakamuenekela banjelu,+ bakayisha bualu buende munkatshi mua bisamba bikuabu,+ bakamuitabuja panu,+ bakamuakidila muulu ne butumbi.’
