8 Akenunyingisha dingi mpa na ku nfudiilo bua’shi tabenutopekanga bua muanda su ngumune, muifuku dia Nfumuetu Yesu Nkidishitu.
9 Efile Mukulu baadi muinuitanyine bua kuikala mu buumune na Muan’aye Yesu Nkidishitu Nfumuetu e na lulamato.
10 Binobino bakuetu, nenusendeela muishina dia Nfumuetu Yesu Nkidishitu’shi, anue boso nuikale anuakula mu kuipushena na takuikalanga kuitshibuula munkatshi muenu, anka nuikale binyibinyi mu buumune na binangu bimune na mueneno umune.
11 Muanda bakuetu, bangi bantu ba mu nshibo mua Klowe mbandungule’shi, kui kuitshibuula munkatshi muenu.
12 Nakimbi kuamba bino, anuamba’shi: “Ami ne a Mpoolo,” kadi ungi namu’shi: “Ami ne a Apolose,” ungi’shi: “Ne a Kefase,”* kadi ungi namu’shi: “Ne a Nkidishitu.”

14 Natumbula Efile Mukulu bu bianshi mubatshishe muntu su ngumune a munkatshi muenu, kukaasha penda Krispuse na Gayuse,
15 buashi tala muntu su ngumune amba’shi nubaadi babatshishibue muishina diande.
16 Eyendo, naadi mubatshishe dingi ba mu nshibo mua Stefana. Kadi bua bangi babashala, tanguku su nemubatshishe ungi muntu.
17 Muanda Nkidishitu muntume kushi bua kubatshisha, kadi bua kulungula mukandu wibuwa; kushi na ngakuilo a ba sha binangu bua’shi mutshi wa makienga wa Nkidishitu, taufikanga bu kintu kia bisumanga.
18 Muanda mukandu pabitale mutshi wa makienga, nyi nkulotakana kui baaba abakabutudibua, anka kuatudi’tue abakapashibua, nyi bukome bu’Efile Mukulu.
19 Muanda mbifundibue’shi: “Nakashimisha binangu bia ba sha binangu, na nakasumbushena kapatupatu ka baaba bapatulukie.”
20 A muntu sha binangu e kunyi? A mufundi* e kuikunyi? Sha mpaka a mu uno ndumbuluilo e kuikunyi? Efile Mukulu ta muikashe binangu bia pa nsenga bu kulotakana su?
21 Muanda muyile binangu bi’Efile Mukulu, ba pa nsenga ta mbafikie mu kuuka Efile Mukulu muyile binangu biabo, Efile Mukulu baadi na muloo wa kupaasha baaba abakumiina, kukiila ku kulotakana kua kiakia ki’abalambukisha.
22 Muanda bena Yunda abatekie bitunduilo na bena Greke abakimbi binangu;
23 anka atue, atulungula pabitale Nkidishitu baadi muipayibue ku mutshi, kui bena Yunda nyi mmuanda wa kikokoshi kadi kui ingi miilo nyi mmuanda wa kulotakana.
24 Anka, kui baaba betaminyibue, bena Yunda sunga bena Greke, Nkidishitu mbukome bu’Efile Mukulu na binangu bi’Efile Mukulu.
25 Muanda kintu kilotakane ki’Efile Mukulu, ki na binangu kukila bantu, na kintu kibofule ki’Efile Mukulu, ki bukome kukila bantu.
26 Muanda bakuetu, nukuete kumona’shi muyile kuitaminyibua kuenu, takui ba sha binangu be bungi muyile mueneno a bantu,* takui ba sha bukome be bungi sunga bantu be bungi ba mu bifuko bia bantu bakata,*
27 kadi Efile Mukulu mmusangule bintu bilotakane bia pa nsenga bua kukuatshisha ba sha binangu buufu; n’Efile Mukulu mmusangule bintu bibofule bia pa nsenga bua kukuatshisha bintu bi bukome buufu;
28 na Efile Mukulu mmusangule bintu bishi na muulo bia pa nsenga na bintu bi’ababepuula, bintu bishi kuanka bua kufuisha bintu bi kuanka bu bia bisumanga,
29 bua’shi muntu su ngumune t’etumbishanga ku meso ku’Efile Mukulu.
30 Anka nku bukuashi buaye kuanudi mu buumune na Nkidishitu Yesu, mufikie kuatudi bu binangu abifiki kui Efile Mukulu, dingi bululame, buiselele, na kupoososhibua ku bukuashi bua nkuulo,
