Bika mamboti malutidi ma Nzambi ayi ndembama bibuela ba yinu.
3 Bika Nzambi, Tata yi Mfumu’itu Yesu Klistu kazitusu, kibila mu kutadila nlemvu’andi, nandi wutuvana mbutukulu yimona, muingi tubaka kivuvu ki kiedika mu nzila luvulubukusu lu Yesu Klistu mu bafua.
4 Kibila wutukubikila kiuka kikhambu bolanga, kikhambu mvindu ayi kikhambu kubukanga. Kiuka beni, kidi kisuama ku diyilu mu kibila kinu,
5 benu batu Nzambi kadi mu kukieba, kibila luidi kiminu ki kutambula phulusu nandi kala zabikisa mu bilumbu bitsuka.
6 Mu kibila akiokio, benu lunkuangalalanga beni kheti vantombulu benu kuviokila mu mambu maphasi mu mua thangu, mu kibila ki zithotolo ziwombo,
7 muingi bo kiminu kinu kinthotu, kiluta ba luvalu kena wola yiviokila ku mbazu, muingi ntindu kiminu akiokio kiluvanga kutambula nzitusu ayi nkembu bo Yesu Klistu kala monika.
8 Kibila kheti benu lummueniabu ko, vayi lu kunzolanga. Ayi kheti lummueniabu ko bubu, vayi benu lu kunlekilanga kiminu ayi lunkuangalalanga beni.
9 Ayi mayangi beni, mala kuluvanga kutambula phulusu mu kibila ki kiminu kinu.
10 Mu matedi phulusu beni, mimbikudi mio mibikula matedi mamboti malutidi ma Nzambi kuidi benu, bavanga mangolo mawombo muingi kufiongunina matedi phulusu beni.
11 Phevi yinlongo yizabikisa tona thama ti, Klistu wala viokila mu ziphasi ayi wala tambula nzitusu. Mimbikudi bavanga mangolo mawombo ma kutomba bivisa mu nzila phevi yinlongo, matedi thangu mbi mawu mala monikina.
12 Nzambi wuzabikisa kuidi mimbikudi ti, mambu bawu baba bikula, basa bikula ko mawu mu kibila kiawu, vayi mu kibila kinu. Ayi bubu benu luma zabila mawu mu nzila batu ba lusamuna zitsangu zimboti. Bawu banungina kuvanga mawu, mu kibila ki lusalusu lu phevi yinlongo yifumina ku diyilu.
13 Diawu, kubikanu kilunzi kinu muingi luvanga kisalu, mu kutatamana kuba bakotuka ayi mu kuba kivuvu mu mamboti malutidi mo muala tambula, mu thangu Yesu Klistu kala monika.
14 Bo luidi bana bantumukinanga, kalubika zinzinunu aziozio luba ava kuzaba Nzambi, zitatamana ku lutuadisa.
15 Vayi banu banlongo mu mavanga minu moso, dedi bo buididi mutu wulutela.
16 Kibila masonama: “Lufueti ba banlongo, kibila minu yidi wunlongo.”
17 Ayi boti lunsambila kuidi Tata, no wumfundisanga batu mukhambu luvasanu mu kutadila mavanga ma kadika mutu, bika mavanga minu mamonisa ti luidi boma bu Nzambi, mu thangu zioso lunzingila buka zinzenza.
18 Kibila benu luzebi ti bakana ko mu biuma binzimbalanga dedi, palata voti wola ba lukudila mu nzingulu yikhambu fuana yo bakulu binu ba lutambikisa.
19 Vayi ba lukudila mu menga ma luvalu ma Klistu, no widi buka muana dimemi dikhambulu dibela ayi dikhambulu mvindu.
20 Bukiedika, nandi wuba wuzabakana ava nza yivangu, vayi wuyiza monika to mu thangu ayiyi yitsuka mu kibila kinu.
21 Mu nzila Yesu, benu lunkikininanga mu Nzambi no wumvulubusa mu bafua, ayi wumvana nkembu, muingi benu luba kiminu ayi kivuvu mu Nzambi.
22 Mu kuba batu bandiatilanga mu kiedika, diawu luekila badiodila ayi mu kibila akiokio, benu lummonisanga luzolo lukiedika benu na benu. Diawu, tatamananu kumonisa ntindu luzolo alolo mu ntima woso.
23 Kibila benu lutambula mbutukulu yimona, kubika ti mu nkuna wumfuanga, vayi mu nkuna wukhambu fuanga mu nzila diambu di Nzambi yimonyo, no wunzinganga thangu zioso.
24 Kibila batu boso badi buka bititi, ayi nkembu’awu woso widi buka biteka mu nsitu. Bititi binkumanga, ayi biteka bimbuanga,*
25 vayi diambu di Yave dinkadidilanga thangu zioso.” “Diambu” beni, dinsundula zitsangu zimboti zio ba lusamuna.
