3 Zambi, Tato ya Mwene wetu Yesu Kristu afumane, mumu kulita ni keke yenyi yalumbama, hanatwehe kusemuka chaha, hanga tupwe ni kutalatala cha mwono kupalikila mu uhindukilo wa Yesu Kristu hakachi ka afu, 4 hanga tupwe ni chihinga chize kuchishi kupola, chishi chipeka, chikwo nawa, chishi kujimuka. Kananutulikilacho mu malilu, 5 yenu waze anafungu ku ndundo ja Zambi kupalikila mu ufulielo, hanga nukamone ulamwino uze kwasala hakehe ausolole ku matangwa akusula. 6 Mumu lia chino, nwakuwahilila chinji, chipwe ngwe haliapwila munuhasa kwivwa chinyengo ha shimbu likehe mumu lia yeseko yeka ni yeka, 7 hanga ufulielo wenu uze aneseka, uze uli ulemu chinji kuhiana oru yize yakutoka chipwe ngwe hayeseka ni kahia, unukwase kutambula uhaliso, uhenya ni ulemu ha tangwa lize Mwene Yesu Kristu makasoloka. 8 Chipwe ngwe kanda nuchimumona kama, nihindu nwakumuzanga.

Yuma yize anwambulwila, ye ahanjikile waze anwambulwilile sango jipema ni ukwaso wa spiritu yisandu yize atumine kukatuka mwilu. Yuma yino ye angelo akuzanga chinji kunyingika.
