2 Vayi nkulutu wu kimvuka kafueti ba, mutu wukhambulu tsembolo, dibakala widi nkanzi wumueka to, kafueti ba zikhadulu zimboti, kafueti ba nduenga, kafueti ba mutu wukhambulu divunza, kafueti zaba kuyamba buboti batu, ayi kafueti ba mutu wuzebi kulonga.
3 Kalendi ba ko kikolo ki malavu, nkua ziphaka, nkua makhema, kalendi ba ko khunya zimbongo, vayi kafueti ba mutu wukhambu tombanga muingi mambu mavangimina mu phil’andi.
4 Kafueti tuadisa buboti dikanda diandi, bana bandi bafueti ba batu bantumukinanga mu bukiedika.
5 (Kibila boti dibakala kasinnunga ko kutuadisa buboti dikanda diandi, buna buidi kalenda nungina kukieba kimvuka ki Nzambi?)
6 Kalendi ba ko mutu wubotimizi vangi, muingi kabika ba lungundayi, ayi kabua mu lufundusu Nkadi’ampemba katambula.

8 Bobuawu mvandi, minsadisi mi bakulutu bafueti ba batu ba lufiatu, bantubanga kiedika, balendi nua ko beni vinu, ni kubakila biuma mu kuvuna bankaka.
9 Bafueti simbidila kiminu ki buklistu, kinsundula masuama manlongo ma Nzambi.
10 Mvandi bafueti fiongununu theti boti badi bafuana, bosi ba kumonikina ti, badi batu bakhambulu tsembolo, buna bankuiza ba bisadi.
11 Bobuawu mvandi, bakietu bafueti ba batu ba lufiatu, batu bakhambu vuezanga bankaka, bafueti ba bifu bimboti, ayi bafueti ba bakuikama mu mambu moso.
12 Minsadisi mi bakulutu bafueti kuela nkietu wumueka to, bafueti kieba ayi kutuadisa buboti dikanda ayi bana bawu.
13 Kibila babakala bamvanganga buboti biyeku biawu, baku batubilanga buboti, ayi balenda tuba mu lufiatu matedi kiminu kiawu mu Yesu Klistu.
14 Yidi phuila muingi kuiza kutala, vayi yalasa fika kuiza ko akoko, diawu yidi mu kusonikina mambu amama,

16 Bukiedika tuisi ko divuda ti, amama madi masuama manlongo ma Nzambi: ‘Yesu wubutuka mu nyitu yi kinsuni, Nzambi wuntedila mutu wusonga, wumonika kuidi zimbasi, basamuna matedi nandi kuidi mimvila minkaka, nza yinlekila kiminu, bantambula ku diyilu ayi wutambula nkembu’.
