5 Ke bualu kayi, nulue bidikiji ba Nzambi+ bu bana bende bananga,
2 ne nutungunuke ne kuenda mu dinanga+ anu bu muvua Kristo pende mutunange*+ ne mudifile bua bualu buetu* bu dipa ne bu mulambu, bidi dipembu dimpe kudi Nzambi.+
3 Masandi* ne malu a bukoya a mishindu yonso anyi lukuka kabitedibu nansha munkatshi muenu,+ anu bu mudibi bikumbanyine bansantu;+
4 nansha bikadilu bia bundu anyi biakulakula bia patupu anyi mineku ya busenji,+ (malu adi kaayi makumbane) kadi pamutu pa nanku ikalayi nusakidila Nzambi.+
5 Bualu nudi bamanye bualu ebu, babujingulule bimpe nuenu nkayenu ne: kakuena muena masandi*+ anyi muntu udi mukoya anyi muena lukuka,+ mmumue ne: kuikala mutendeledi wa mpingu, udi ne bumpianyi mu Bukalenge bua Kristo ne bua Nzambi to.+
6 Muntu nansha umue kanushimi ne mêyi a patupu, bualu tshiji tshia Nzambi tshidi tshilua kudi bana ba dibenga kutumikila bua malu a nunku.
7 Ke bualu kayi kanubuelakanyanganyi nabu to;
8 bualu kumpala nuvua mîdima, kadi mpindieu nudi butoke+ mu diumvuangana ne Mukalenge.+ Tungunukayi ne kuenda bu bana ba butoke,
9 bualu dimuma dia butoke ndienza ne buimpe ne buakane ne bulelela+ bia mishindu yonso.
10 Tungunukayi ne kukeba bua kumanya malu adi Mukalenge wanyisha;+
11 ne lekelayi kubuelakana mu bienzedi bia mîdima bidi kabiyi ne mushinga;+ kadi nubiele patoke bua kuleja tshidibi.
12 Bualu malu adibu benza mu musokoko adi enza too ne bundu bua kuamba.
13 Mpindieu malu onso adibu bela patoke* adi amueneka patoke ku diambuluisha dia butoke, bualu malu onso adibu baleja patoke mbutoke.
14 Ke bualu kayi badi bamba ne: “Wewe udi mulale tulu, tabala, juka ku lufu,+ ne Kristo neakukenkeshe.”+
15 Nunku ikalayi badimuke bikole bua mushindu unudi nuenda kawikadi bu wa bantu badi kabayi ne meji, kadi wikale bu wa bena meji,
16 nuenza malu bimpe bitambe ne dîba dienu,*+ bualu matuku mmabi.
17 Bua bualu ebu, lekelayi kuikala bu bantu badi kabayi ne meji, kadi tungunukayi ne kujingulula tshidi disua dia Yehowa.*+
18 Kabidi, kanukuatshiki mvinyo to,+ bualu bidi bifikisha ku buenzavi,* kadi tungunukayi ne kuwujibua ne nyuma.
19 Nuyukidilangane* ne misambu, misambu ya kutumbisha nayi Nzambi, ne misambu ya mu nyuma, nuimbila+ Yehowa* tshiapamue ne mijiki+ mu mioyo yenu,+
20 nuela Nzambi wetu ne Tatu wetu tuasakidila misangu yonso+ bua malu onso mu dîna dia Mukalenge wetu Yezu Kristo.+
21 Nukokelangane+ mu ditshina dia Kristo.
22 Bakaji bakokele babayabu+ bu mudibu bakokela Mukalenge,
23 bualu mulume udi ku mutu kua mukajende+ anu bu mudi Kristo ku mutu kua tshisumbu,+ bu mudiye musungidi wa mubidi eu.
24 Mu bulelela, anu bu mudi tshisumbu tshikokela Kristo, bakaji badi pabu ne bua kukokela babayabu mu malu onso.
25 Nuenu balume, tungunukayi ne kunanga bakaji benu,+ anu bu muvua Kristo pende munange tshisumbu ne mudifile bua bualu buatshi,+
26 bua atshivuije tshia tshijila, utshitokesha utshisukula ne mâyi ku diambuluisha dia dîyi,+
27 bua alue ne tshisumbu kudiye yeye muine mu butumbi buatshi, katshiyi ne katoba anyi munyengu anyi tshintu tshikuabu tshia mushindu eu,+ kadi tshikale tshia tshijila, katshiyi kalema.+
28 Mu mushindu wa muomumue balume badi ne bua kunanga bakaji babu bu mibidi yabu bobu bine. Muntu udi munange mukajende mmudinange yeye muine,
29 bualu kakuena muntu ukadiku mukine mubidi* wende, kadi udi uwudisha, uwunanga, anu bu mudi Kristo wenzela tshisumbu,
30 bualu tudi bitupa bia mubidi wende.+
31 “Bua bualu ebu mulume neashiye tatuende ne mamuende, nealamate* mukajende, ne bubidi buabu nebikale mubidi umue.”+
32 Bualu busokoka bua tshijila ebu+ mbunene. Mpindieu ndi ngakula malu adi atangila Kristo ne tshisumbu.+
33 Nansha nanku, yonso wa kunudi udi ne bua kunanga mukajende+ bu mudiye mudinange; mukaji pende udi ne bua kuikala ne kanemu kakole kudi bayende.+
