3 Abale anga akufunika, maseze ndikhafuna kakamwe kukulemberani thangwi ya cipulumuso ciri na ife tonsene,+ cincino ndaona kuti ndisafunika kukulemberani kuti mumenye nkhondo mwakuwanga toera kutsidzikiza cikhulupiro+ cidapaswa anthu akucena a Mulungu kabodzi basi toera cipitirize kwenda na kwenda. 4 Cinandidzudzumisa ndi cakuti pakati panu pana anthu adalongwa kale mʼMalemba kuti anadzatongwa; iwo ndi anthu akukhonda lemedza Mulungu, asaphatisira ntsisi zikulu za Mulungu wathu toera kucita pinthu pyakuipa,+ pontho macitiro awo asapangiza kuti asakhonda Mbuyathu mʼbodzi basi adatigula, Yezu Kristu.+
5 Maseze musadziwa kale pyonsene, ndisafuna kukukumbusani kuti Yahova* apulumusa anthu ace mu dziko ya Ejitu,+ buluka penepo afudza ale adakhonda kupangiza cikhulupiro.+ 6 Pontho aanju adasiya mbuto zawo,*+ iye aamanga na maunyolo akukhonda fudzika* mbaafungira ncidima cikulu mpaka kutongwa kwawo pa ntsiku ikulu.+ 7 Munjira ibodzi ene, Sodhoma na Gomora na mizinda ya cifupi na ineyi yatcunyuswa pidafudzwa iyo na moto wakwenda na kwenda,+ natenepa yaikhwa ninga cenjezo kwa ife, thangwi anthu a mizinda ineyi akhacita kakamwe ulukwali*+ mbapita mʼmabonde munjira yakuipa.

Iwombo ndi ninga akumbizi anadyeseka okhene nee kugopa;+ makole akusowa madzi anagwinywa uku na uku na mphepo;+ miti yakusowa misapo mu ndzidzi wakubala misapo, yakufa kawiri,* yakudulwa na mitcitci ene; 13 anthu anewa ndi ninga mabimbi amphambvu a mʼbara anabulusa mapobvu a mabasa awo akupasa manyadzo;+ iwo ndi ninga nyenyezi zakutayika zakuti Mulungu anaziponya ncidima cakwenda na kwenda.+
14 Enoki,+ munthu wacinomwe kubulukira pa Adhamu, alonga profesiya thangwi ya iwo pidalonga iye kuti: “Onani! Yahova* abwera na aanju ace azinji* akucena,+ 15 toera kutonga anthu onsene,+ pontho toera kutcunyusa anthu akuipa onsene thangwi ya pinthu pyakuipa pyonsene pidacita iwo mwakukhonda kulemedza Mulungu, pontho thangwi ya pinthu pyakuipa kakamwe pidamulongera anyakudawa anakhonda kulemedza Mulungu.”+

17 Mbwenye imwe abale anga akufunika, kumbukani mafala adalongwa kale* na apostolo a Mbuyathu Yezu Kristu, 18 pikhalonga iwo kuna imwe kuti: “Mu ntsiku zakumalisa anadzaoneka anyakusingirira, akuti anadzacita pinthu mwakubverana na pifuno pyawo pyakuipa.”+ 19 Iwo asacitisa anthu kugawana+ mu mpingo, asacita pinthu ninga pinyama, pontho iwo nkhabe nzimu wa Mulungu. 20 Mbwenye imwe abale anga akufunika, wangisani cikhulupiro canu cakucena kakamwe, mbamucita phembero mukutsogolerwa na nzimu wakucena,+ 21 toera mupitirize kukhala mu ufuni wa Mulungu+ mu ndzidzi unadikhira imwe kuti ntsisi za Mbuyathu Yezu Kristu zikufungulireni njira toera mutambire umaso wakukhonda mala.+ 22 Pontho, pitirizani kupangiza ntsisi+ kuna ale anapenula pinakhulupira iwo;+ 23 apulumuseni+ mu kuabulusa pa moto. Pangizanimbo ntsisi kuna anango, mbwenye citani mphole-mphole. Iwo apswipisa nguwo zawo na mabasa aunyama. Natenepa, pakuabvera ntsisi, khalani kutali na nguwo zawo zidapswipisa iwo.+
24 Mulungu wakuti anakwanisa kukuphedzani toera mukhonde kugwegweduka, anakucitisani kukhala akusowa midonthi+ na akutsandzaya kakamwe pamaso pa mbiri yace, 25 kuna iye Mulungu mʼbodzi basi, Mpulumusi wathu kubulukira mwa Yezu Kristu Mbuyathu, apaswe mbiri, ukulu, mphambvu na utongi kutomera kale kakamwe, cincino, mpaka kwenda na kwenda.
