4 Nzambi wubikula mu diambu diandi ti, vala ba thangu bawombo bala vekuka mu kiminu, mu kuteka matu malongi ma luvunu, mammonikina buka ti, kuidi Nzambi mafumina ayi mu malongi ma ziphevi zimbi.
2 Bamvukumukanga mu malongi ma batu bantubanga luvunu, badi kilunzi kikhambu salanga buboti, kidi buka nkanda nyitu wuvia mu kisengu kimbanzu.
3 Bawu bankandiminanga bankaka kukuela, bankandiminanga mvandi batu badi kiminu ayi bo bazebi kiedika kudia bidia bio Nzambi kavanga, ayi muingi babika vutula matondo kuidi Nzambi.
4 Kibila biuma bioso Nzambi kavanga, bidi bimboti ayi tulendi loza ko ni kiuma, boti tu bitambudila mu nsambu ayi mu kuvutula matondo,
5 kibila biawu bivedusu mu diambu di Nzambi, ayi mu nsambu.
6 Ngie kuvana malongi amomo kuidi zikhomba, wala ba kisadi kimboti ki Yesu Klistu, kio kinzingilanga mu mambu malenda tusadisa kuba kiminu mu Nzambi, ayi mu malongi mamboti mo ngie widi mu kulandakana mu phila yifuana.
7 Tatuka binongo bi luvunu bimbundulanga mambu manlongo, dedi bio bakietu beka biboba bantubanga. Vayi vanga mangolo muingi wukivana mu mambu ma Nzambi.
8 Kibila kunyikuna binama bi nyitu, kuntuadisanga ndandu, vayi kukivana mu mambu ma Nzambi, kuntuadisanga ndandu mu mambu moso, mu kuzaba ti, tulenda baka ndandu mu luzingu tuidi bubu, ayi lo tuala tambula.
9 Mambu amama, madi ma lufiatu ayi madi makiedika.
10 Diawu tukivaninanga mu kisalu, kibila kivuvu kitu kidi mu Nzambi yimonyo, no widi Mvukisi wu batu boso, bulutidi kuidi bo badi bakuikama.
11 Tatamana kulonga ayi kuvana zithuadusulu aziozio.
12 Ka wubika ni mutu ka kulenza mu kuba ditoko. Vayi ba kifuani kimboti kuidi batu bakuikama, mu thubulu, mu mavanga, mu lozolo, mu kiminu ayi mu kuba wudiodila mu ziphila zioso.
13 Tatamana kupisuka mu kutanga masonoko, mu kulonga ayi kukindisa bankaka bavanga mambu mamboti.
14 Bika kulenza dikaba dio wutambula mu nzila mbikudulu, bo dingumba di bakulutu ba kuvana kiyeku.*
15 Yindula mu mambu amomo, ayi sikika thalu mu mawu, muingi batu boso banunga kumona ndionzukulu’aku yi kiphevi.
16 Ba keba keba mu ngie veka ayi mu mambu wunlonganga, kuikama mu mambu amomo kibila ngie kuvanga mawu, wala kukivukisa ayi wala vukisa batu ba kukuwa.
