Comunidade
A comunidade cristã é essencial para o crescimento da fé. A Bíblia ensina que fomos criados para viver em comunhão — edificando-nos, encorajando-nos e servindo uns aos outros.
Viver em unidade
Os que creram eram um coração e uma alma. A comunidade primitiva partilhava tudo e vivia em harmonia e alegria.
Bakwikidi babundikisi bima homa ha mosi
Kibuka kya batu bana bákwikila kyákala yi mbundu mosi yi moya mosi. Hákalaku mutu wakala zimbula ni bima byandi kikuma kya yandi buhika; kaasi kosu kima kyákala mu kimvuka.
Luzingu lwa kimvuka
Boosu bakala sya ngolu mu kuhinikinaka malongi ma bathumwa, kuzingilaka mu kiphangi, mu kudyaka homa ha mosi yi kusambilaka homa hamosi.
Kosu kilumbu, bakala vukana kuna nzu ya Nzambi, mu kimosi yi kudyaka mapha muna nzu, amana bakala dya bima bya bawu yi kyesi yi ngemba kuna mbundu. Bakala kumisa Nzambi, batu boosu phi bákala yi kitya kikuma kya bawu. Amana kosu kilumbu, Pfumu, kakala yika batu muna kimvuka kya bawu, bana kakala hulula.
Bawu boosu bákwamina mu kimvuka mu kulombilaka homa ha mosi, kumosi yi bakhetu, yi Madiya ngudi wa Yesu, yi baphangi ba Yesu.
Amana Phetelu kákala wakukwata muna boloku kaasi dibundu dyakala lombila Nzambi, kikuma kya yandi konda kulembwa.
Mukuma hana henina bodi holo batatu bakhundakana mu khumbu yama, meni yenina hana kati dya bawu.»
Edificação mútua
Vivam em harmonia uns com os outros. Não haja divisões entre vós. A comunidade cresce quando cada membro contribui.
Kayengu muna Dibundu
Baphangi bama, meni mbati lubokwadila muna khumbu ya Pfumu wetu Yesu Kidisitu, mu kukala yi nzonzidi yimosi; kayengu kakalaku hakati dya benu; kalenu mutu mosi, muna dibanza dimosi yi kikwamina kimosi.
Mukuma mu Kitembu mosi lwesi twátambwala mbotika betu boosu mu kukituka lutu lumosi; kwakala Bayuta, kondilo Bangeleki, kondilo bahika, kondilo batu ba kiphwanza; amana betu boosu batunwisa Kitembu mosi.
Kikuma, bwosu thwenina yi bibuku byalawu muna lutu lwetu, lwalu lwenina lumosi, amana bibuku byosu bya lutu byisiku sala kisalu kimosi, yi bwabuna phi betu, ata thwenina lawu, thwenina lutu lumosi mwena Kidisitu amana thwenina, betu boosu, bibuku bya lutu kikuma kya babana yi babana.
Kalakenu yi mabanza mamosi benu yi benu. Ludivuninikakaku, kaasi sandakenu mambu mana malúnata mu kudikulumuna. Ludibanzilakaku ni benu kwenu lwenina badimuka lawu.
Wufundisaku phangi waku
Muyambenu wuna wukondi ngolu mu lukwikilu, konda kumukumba mu mabanza.
Yambula Nzambi mukwa kikwamina yi kikesa kalusadisa lwayukana benu yi benu bwosu menina mabanza ma Kidisitu Yesu,
Kukebisa kwa tsuka
Yilulombini, baphangi bama, lwalenga keba kikuma kya batu babana bisi nata kayengu yi kubwisisa batu, konda kulandaka malongi mana lwábonga. Kadilenu bawu kyana.
Amor e compromisso
Não deixemos de congregar. O vínculo perfeito é o amor — ele une a comunidade e produz frutos que duram.
Tukalenu yi kitsungila betu yi betu kikuma kya kudihekaka kikesa ku zola yi mihangu mya bukheti. Tutinaku mabundu metu bwosu báyikanabwa batu bahika, kaasi tudihekakenu kikesa betu yi betu, bwosu tubati mona kilumbu kya Pfumu kibwesukini.
Amana hana thandu ya byosu, vwatenu lungongu, mukuma lwenina zita dya mukwandi dya kikhunda.
Sandakenu mu kubatila kithwadi kina kisi hana Kitembu mu nzila ya ngemba yina yisi lukasa benu yi benu.
Banduku bama, yuka ni bwabuna kátuzodila Nzambi, tufweti dizola phi betu yi betu.
Kaasi yuka ni tubati dyatila mu mwini bwosu kenina yandi meni mu mwini, hana mu kithwadi thwenina betu yi betu, amana menga ma Yesu, Mwana wandi, mabati tusemisa muna masumu moosu.
Heku hika keti Muyuta, keti wuna kondi kala Muyuta, heku hika keti muhika, keti mutu wa kiphwanza, heku hika keti yakala, keti mukhetu, mukuma benu boosu, lwenina mutu mosi mwena Kidisitu Yesu. Amana ho benu lwakala batu ba Kidisitu, disongidila ni lwenina phi butuka dya Bulahami, yihana ni lwenina baswana bwosu kyenina kilangi.
Basadisa mboti-mboti bafwidi ba mukwandi.
Mu kyedika, yiluzimbwadibwa: wuna wuyambini mutu wuna thumini meni, meni-meni kayambini. Amana wuna wungyambini, wuyambi phi wuna wáthuma.»
