3 Ondaka ei yata umwe mokuyumbwa onthumbi: Omulume ulikwatehila umwe wahanda alinge omukulu* wewaneno,+ otyilinga otyo ahanda otyiwa. 2 Omukulu* wewaneno una okulinga omunthu wahavelwa onombei, una vala omukai wike, uliteta kovipuka, omuna-ndunge,*+ woonganeka nawa ovipuka, uyakula nawa ovaenda,+ wata-mo mokulongesa,+ 3 ha wokunwa unene,+ ha wonya,* mahi o wokwapepuka omutima,+ ha womalwei,+ ha wokuhole onombongo,+ 4 omulume ululika nawa veumbo liae, wovana vetavela, vata ombili ovipuka,+ 5 (ine omulume ketyivili okululika veumbo liae okuti metyivili okululika ewaneno lya Huku?), 6 hayou weya vala pahe metavelo,+ tyowoma wokuti melipake-ko elimphande, atokela momphela mayoongelwa Eliapu. 7 Ngwe tupu, alinge omunthu upopiwa nawa* no vo kondye,+ opo ahawile mokutombwa,* no meliva ly’Eliapu.
8 Ovakwatesiko vovakulu vewaneno navo valinge vokuna onduvia, ha vomalaka evali,* ha vokuliyumba vala kovinyu, ha velungavi liokufunina mounkhembi,+ 9 o vokukakatela motyipuka tyikola tyaholekwa tyonthumbi nomutima upumphi.+
10 Tupu nkhele vatalwe nawa ine vata-mo umwe; haa pahe avalingi ovakwatesiko vovakulu vewaneno, mahi putyina vahahungwa.+
11 Ovakai navo valinge vokuta ombili ovipuka, ha vokutendeleya,+ mahi velitete kovipuka, vakakatele meyumba-nthumbi movipuka aviho.+
12 Ovaundapi vokukwatesako valinge vala ovalume vomukai wike, valulika nawa ovana vavo, no veumbo liavo aveho. 13 Ngwe ovalume vaundapa umwe nawa, velipa enyina ewa, no pokupopia tyeyumba-nthumbi mu Kilisitu Sesusi, vapopia umwe tyehena tyinkhe.
14 Ame ndyili nokukuhonekela ovipuka ovio, namphila hamwe apa katutu mandyiya-le oko, 15 mahi okwati vala ine ndyiseta, unoñgonoke oñgeni mokala mombunga ya Huku,+ ewaneno lya Huku una omwenyo, omphandyi, ondyako yotyili. 16 Otyili, otyipuka etyi tyikola tyaholekwa tye etyi tyokulinga onthilo Huku, otyinene: ‘Waholololelelwe mohitu,+ akatilwa ondingaviwa momphepo,+ amoneka konoandyu,+ apopiwa movanthu vovilongo,+ etavelwa mouye,+ atambulwa keulu momunkhima.’
