17 Pangikalanga na kino kinangu, naadi muate uno muanda na muulo upeela su? Su naadi mupuandikishe bua kukita uno muanda na binangu bia ku mbidi pa’mi kuamba’shi, “Oolo, oolo,” akupu kapindi’shi “Nya, nya”?
18 Muanda Efile Mukulu nga kukulupila mu mushindo watushi balombene kuamba’shi “oolo” akupu’shi “nya.”
19 Muanda Muan’Efile Mukulu Yesu Nkidishitu, abaatudi benulambukishe, kuamba’shi ami na Silvanuse* na Timote, nta muikale “oolo” akupu kunyima afika “nya,” anka mu muanda waye, “oolo” mufikie nka “oolo.”
20 Muanda sunga milayilo y’Efile Mukulu yekala i bungi, yoso ngifikie nka “oolo” ku bukuashi bua Yesu. Biabia, ku bukuashi buaye nyi kuabele “Amene” kui Efile Mukulu, na bino abitumbisha Efile Mukulu ku bukuashi buetu.
21 Kadi yawa ashinkamisha’shi anue n’atue tui bantu ba Nkidishitu, na yawa muituele muimu, nyi Efile Mukulu.
22 Baadi dingi muituele kitampi na muitupe kitunduilo kia mianda ayikafiki mu mashimba etu, kuamba’shi kikudi.
23 Binobino n’etshipi na naata Efile Mukulu bu kamonyi’shi, mbua kuinukaluila bua nshi mubande kufika ku Kodinda.
24 Ta nkuamba’shi tui na matalua ku lukumiino luenu, kadi tukuete kufuba nenu pamune bua muloo wenu, muanda nuibemane ku bukuashi bua lukumiino luenu.
