3 Kadi umanye ne: mu matuku a ku nshikidilu+ nekuikale bikondo bia malu makole bidi bikole mua kupita nabi.
2 Bualu bantu nebikale badinangi, banangi ba makuta, bena diambu, badibandishi, bapendi ba Nzambi, kabayi batumikila baledi babu, kabayi ne dianyisha, kabayi ne lulamatu,
3 kabayi banange bana babu, kabayi ne lungenyi lua kumvuangana, bashiminyinyanganyi ba malu, kabayi badikanda, bena luonji, kabayi banange malu mimpe,
4 batungidianganyi, bena mutu mukole, badiuwuja ne lutambishi, banangi ba masanka pamutu pa kuikala banangi ba Nzambi,
5 bikale ne tshimuenekelu tshia dilamata Nzambi kadi bienzedi biabu kabiyi bileja bukole bua dimulamata edi;+ nunku umbuka kudi bantu aba.
6 Munkatshi mua bantu aba mudi mujuka bantu badi badifinya mu nzubu ya bantu ne bakuata bakaji badi ne butekete ku bupika, bikale ne majitu a mpekatu mapite, balombola kudi majinga mashilashilangane,
7 balonga misangu yonso, kadi kabayi mua kufika ku dimanya dijalame dia bulelela nansha.
8 Nunku anu bu muvua Yane ne Yambele baluishe Mose, ke mudi bantu aba batungunuka ne kuluisha bulelela. Bantu ba nunku badi ne lungenyi luonso lunyanguke, kabayi banyishibue bua ditabuja to.
9 Nansha nanku, kabakuya kabidi kumpala to, bualu bupote* buabu nebumueneke patoke kudi bantu bonso anu bu muvuabi bua bantu babidi abu.+
10 Kadi wewe, udi mulonde bimpe menemene dilongesha dianyi, nsombelu wanyi,+ tshipatshila tshianyi, ditabuja dianyi, lutulu luanyi, dinanga dianyi, dinanukila dianyi,
11 dikengeshibua ne makenga bia buena bimvua mupete ku Antiokia,+ ku Ikonio+ ne ku Luseta.+ Mvua munanukile mu dikengeshibua edi, ne Mukalenge uvua munsungile ku dikengeshibua dionso edi.+
12 Mu bulelela, bantu bonso badi basue kuikala balamate Nzambi mu buobumue ne Kristo Yezu nebakengeshibue pabu.+
13 Kadi bantu babi ne badingianganyi nebatungunuke ne kunyanguka bibi menemene, bapambuishangana ne bapambuishibua.+
14 Kadi wewe, tungunuka mu malu auvua mulonge ne avuabu bakufikishe ku ditaba,+ mumanye bantu bavua bakulongeshawu
15 ne mumanye ne: katshia ku buana buebe+ udi mumanye mifundu ya tshijila+ idi mua kukuvuija muena meji bua kupeta lupandu ku ditabuja mu Kristo Yezu.+
16 Dîyi dionso didi mu Mifundu ndifundisha kudi Nzambi ku bukole bua nyuma wende+ ne didi diambuluisha bua kulongesha,+ bua kubela, bua kululamija malu,* bua kunyoka mu buakane,+
17 bua muntu wa Nzambi ikale mukumbane menemene, muikale ne bionso bidi bikengedibua bua mudimu wonso muimpe.
