Conversão
A conversão é o ato de se voltar para Deus — arrependendo-se do pecado e abraçando a graça. É o início de uma vida nova, transformada pelo amor de Cristo.
Arrependei-vos
Arrependei-vos e convertei-vos para que os vossos pecados sejam apagados. A conversão começa com a mudança de mente e coração.
Nangʉ mutigɨ ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwanyu mwichʉrɨrɨ Mungu korereke abhabheerere, rɨbhɨhʉ ribhaga ryo obhozomerwa kʉ kʉbhaho Ʉmʉkʉrʉ,
Peetero akabhagarukirya, "Bhʉʉsibhu mutigɨ ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwanyu na mʉbhatiizwɨ kuriina rya Yɨɨsu Kiriisitʉ, korereke mobheererwe ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwanyu na niimwɨ mʉrasʉngʼaana ʉmʉbhanʉ gwe Ekoro Ɨndɨndu.
Ɨkarɨ ribhaga ryo obhogeege, Mungu akiikorya nkina atakorora. Nawe nangʉ, arabhabhʉʉrɨra abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bha mbaara zʉʉsi, bhatigɨ ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwabhʉ.
Kwɨma ribhaga riyo, Yɨɨsu akatanga kurwazɨra abhaatʉ, "Mutigɨ ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwanyu, kʉ kʉbha ʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa mwisaarʉ bhʉraariirɨ!"
Mmbe, mokore amahocha ganʉ gakwerekenʼya kʉbha mutigirɨ ʉbhʉbhɨ.
Aarɨ arabhuga, "Ribhaga rɨnʉ ryarʉʉtʉrɨɨrwɨ rihikirɨ, nʉ ʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa Mungu bhʉraariirɨ. Mmbe, mutigɨ ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwanyu, mwisiriryɨ Ɨngʼana Ɨnzʉmu yiyo."
O amor de Deus converte
Céu se alegra por um pecador que se arrepende. Deus não deseja a morte do ímpio, mas que se converta e viva.
"Nɨrabhabhʉʉrɨra, muyo nɨmbu kʉraabhɨ no obhozomerwa bhwaru mwisaarʉ, hanʉ ʉmʉkʉri wʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ wʉmwɨ araatigɨ ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwazɨ. Obhozomerwa bhuyo bhʉrabha bhʉkʉrʉ kʉkɨra bhwa abhaatʉ abhazʉmu merongo kenda na kenda bhanʉ bhataana ebhoono yu ukwichʉra.
"Nɨrabhabhʉʉrɨra, nɨmbu Mungu akozomerwa mʉbhʉtangɨ bhwa bhamaraika, igʉrʉ wa wʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ wʉmwɨ araatigɨ ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwazɨ."
Inyɨ nitiizirɨ kʉbhɨrɨkɨra bhe eheene, nawe bhʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ, bhiichʉrɨrɨ Mungu."
Abhandɨ bharakina Ʉmʉkʉrʉ arakeezera kuhicha ganʉ aragɨɨnʼyɨ, zɨyi, atakokeezera. Nawe ahiigumirirya igʉrʉ waanyu, kʉ kʉbha atakwenda ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉwʉʉsi arimɨrɨ. Kɨnʉ akwenda, bhʉʉsi bhatigɨ ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwabhʉ.
Transformação
Voltai-vos para mim e sereis salvos! Rasgai o coração e não as vestes. A verdadeira conversão transforma o interior.
"Inyɨ nɨhaatongera na kuhiinya abhaatʉ bhanʉ nɨbhasɨɨgirɨ. Mmbe mʉbhɨ nu ubhwigumirirya na mutigɨ ʉbhʉbhɨ.
Mmbe, mutigɨ amangʼana gʉʉsi ga kʉʉsɨ ganʉ garɨ kʉbhaniimwɨ, ɨtaarʉ, umwʉyʉ ʉmʉbhɨ, amiisɨɨgi amabhɨ, nu umwʉyʉ gwe ebhegero. Kʉbha nu umwʉyʉ gwe ebhegero kutuubhɨɨnɨ no okosengera amasambwa.
Mutiisirirya ibhiimʉ bhyɨ ɨmɨbhɨrɨ janyu bhɨbhɨ ebhegero bhyo okokora ʉbhʉbhɨ, nawe mwihuruchɨ kwa Mungu. Mwirore ncha bhanʉ bharyukwirwɨ kurwa mʉbhaku, na kusikiribhwa mʉbhʉhʉru ubhuhya. Mwihuruchɨ kwa Mungu, ni ibhiimʉ bhyɨ ɨmɨbhɨrɨ janyu bhɨbhɨ ebheseme bhyo okokora eheene.
Abhahiiri bhaanɨ, mʉrangʼurɨ ʉmʉkɨndichanyu asariryɨ, imwɨ bhanʉ mʉkʉkangatwa ne Ekoro Ɨndɨndu, momoreche na mʉmʉgaruchɨ kwa bhʉnyʉʉhu. Nawe mwiyangarɨrɨ, mʉtaaza imwʉsi kogemwa.
Kwɨbhu mʉtangʼeha kokora amahocha ganʉ gataana bhwera, hamwɨmwɨ na amabhɨ ganʉ gahɨtɨrɨɨnʼyɨ, na kugwata kwa bhʉnyʉʉhu ringʼana rɨnʉ Mungu atɨɨrɨ mozekoro zaanyu, kʉ kʉbha riyo neryo rɨkʉtʉra kʉbhasabhʉra.
