Mukanda wa kumpala wa Timote 3:1-16
3 Dino eyi ndia kukulupila, su muana mulume akimbi kuikala bu mukulu,* akimbi mufubo* wibuwa.
2 Abitungu mukulu ekale shi na matope, ekale na mukashi umune, ekale na nkatshinkatshi mu bikitshino biaye, ekale na binangu bibuwa, muntu shi na kafutakanyi, muntu akukilaa benyi, na muntu mulombanyine kulongiesha,
3 tekalanga nkodi a maalua, muntu sha bukielo,* muntu e na mianda ibukopo, tekalanga muntu mukumiine kutontoola, na mufule makuta,
4 ekale muntu akunkusha kalolo ba mu nshibo yaye, e na bana abamukookiela na kalolo koso
5 (muanda su muntu tawuku bia kukunkusha kalolo ba mu nshibo muaye, mbikunyi biadi mulombene kulama kakongie k’Efile Mukulu?),
6 t’ekalanga muntu mupia mu lukumiino, tala ekala na kuitatula na apona mu kiimu kilombanyine Diabulu.
7 Dingi abitungu ekale na nkumo ibuwa kui bantu bashi bena kukumiina, bua’shi tala bakula bibubi pabimutale na apona mu muteo wa Diabulu.
8 Abitungu namu bafubi ba midimo bekale bantu ba kinemo, bashi na ndimi ibidi,* bashi bepaane mu kutoma kua malofu, bashi na luabi lua kupeta bintu mu bulamalama,
9 bekale bantu abalama mianda ifuame ya kishila ya lukumiino na kondo k’eshimba katooka.
10 Dingi abitungu kubanda kuibatompa kumpala; bua kumona su mbalombanyine,* akupu su tabe na muanda wa kuibatopeka nao, bafube bu bafubi ba midimo.
11 Abitungu namu bana bakashi bekale bantu ba kinemo, bash’abadimbiila bangi mianda, bekale na nkatshinkatshi mu bikitshino biabo, na be na lulamato mu mianda yoso.
12 Abitungu bafubi ba midimo bekale na mukashi umune, abakunkusha kalolo bana babo na ba mu nshibo muabo.
13 Muanda bana balume abafubu mu mushindo wibuwa, abapete mbalo ya kinemo n’eshimba dinyingie bua kuakula na lukumiino pabitale Nkidishitu Yesu.
14 Nakufundila ino mianda sunga biandi mukulupile’shi, nafiki kodi mu mafuku apeela’mu,
15 bua’shi sunga nakutua kufika pa nsaa, oukie biodi mulombene kukita mianda mu nshibo y’Efile Mukulu, ayo ikale kakongie k’Efile Mukulu e na muwa, ako akakaluila na kukuatshishena* bia binyibinyi.
16 Eyendo, uno muanda ufuame wa kishila wa lulamato kui Efile Mukulu ngukata: Yesu baadi muileshe patooka ku mbidi, baadi mubadikibue bu mululame mu kikudi, baadi mumuenekiele mikeyilu, babaadi abalungula mukandu wibuwa pabimutale munkatshi mua ingi miilo, babaadi bamukumiine pa nsenga, babaadi bamukuukile muiyilu na ntumbo.’
