Falar
A Bíblia tem muito a ensinar sobre a arte de falar. As palavras têm poder de vida e de morte — podem edificar ou destruir, curar ou ferir, aproximar ou afastar.
O poder das palavras
A morte e a vida estão no poder da língua. A palavra branda desvia a ira, mas a palavra dura suscita o furor.
Lulimi lodaha ukughala ugima na ukukoma na awala iwoukunda watsakuja ghamatunda ghake.
Ukwidika kwa uhole komalitsa imaya, lekeni ukwidika kwa ukukembela kwakongetsa imaya.
Ilulimi ilughala ukuhona lweghala na ghumbiki ghuna ugima, lekeni lulimi ilughutsuka lwotenyula ghumoyo.
Imunu kodeng’elela hayakwidika ghoya, ng’ambe pfinogha ghendo ichinu ching’alongighwa mna ghumsimu ghwake.
Ighobamighwa kutendeka ghohinyika ka haduhu iwanu iwoshauli, lekeni ghotendeka ka kuna washauli wengi.
Falar com sabedoria
No muito falar não falta transgressão. A boca do justo fala sabedoria, e quem guarda os lábios guarda a si mesmo.
Mna ghamalonga mengi, na ghamatotso ghamumo, lekeni iyoghughoma mlomo ghwake, ayo kakengela.
Ayula iyakwalangitsa mna ukulonga koukinga ugima wake, lekeni ayula yana ichilimilimi katselagha imwenyegho.
Hata imunu mbotsi yang’enyamala kakoneka kana hekima, na kakoneka kakengela hayodiwa ghumlomo ghwake.
Imunu mng’enye ng’okala na mbuli baye, lekeni iyotogholeka kopfisa imbuli.
Walongelele awala ing’awodaha baye ukulonga wenyegho, walongelele awala iwalekighwe waliyeka.
Ghamalonga gha imunu yana ihekima ghomtenda yatogholighwe, lekeni ghamalonga gha imunu mbotsi ghomuhinya imwenyegho.
Falar a verdade
Cada palavra ociosa será pesada no dia do juízo. Fale a verdade, edifique com a boca e confesse Cristo com os lábios.
"Apfo nomlongelani ghendo, kwa chila chinu chihile chawolonga iwanu, watsohighighwa mna litsuwa lya ukuhigha iwanu.
"Ndughu yako yang’akutendela totso, ughende ukamkanye totso lyake, ghweghwe na yeye mliyeka. Yang’akutegheletsa, kumpata ndughu yako.
"Hamlomba, mleke kulonga chaka kama wapagani pfowotenda. Kwaapfila wawo wofikitsa wohulikitsighwa kwa ukulongalonga kwawo.
Chochose chamlongile mchisi chitsohulikighwa mne ghumwanga, na chochose chamwinong’onetse mng’anda, chitsolongighwa mwatsimwatsi mchiswili."
Imunu yanoghile kolapfa ipfinu pfinoghile kulawa hanu hanoghile ipfikighwe mne ghumoyo ghwake, imunu yehile kolapfa ipfinu pfihile kulawa hanu hehile ipfikighwe mne ghumoyo ghwake. Kwaapfila imunu kolonga achila ichimemile mne ghumoyo ghwake."
Ung’atoghola kwa ukulonga kwa mlomo wako, Yesu kamndewa, na ung’atoghola mmoyo mwako ka Imulungu kamtsilihula kulawa mlifwa, kutsokombolighwa.
Pfipfila, Ghumuhe kotwapfila twetwe mna ukuhungukighwa kwetu. Ng’atumanyile bae ukulomba ka pfaibamighwa, lekeni Ghumuhe imwenyegho kotulombela twetwe kwa kughutilila ing’akudaha kulongighwa.
Edificar com palavras
Não saia da boca nenhuma palavra torpe. Sejam prontos para ouvir, tardios para falar, e tardios para a ira.
Mleke kulonga mbuli tsihile, ila mlonge mbuli tsinoghile itsiwatsenga iwanu, ili mbuli tsamlonga tsiwapfile iwanu iwomuhulikani.
Ndughu tsangu wanoghelighwa, mkumbuke chinu chino, chila imunu asumke kutegheletsa, lekeni aleke kuwa chilabilabi, wala kusumka kwona maya,
Twetwe twose tutotsagha. Ka imunu ng’ototsa bae mna ghayolonga, imunu ayo kakomala, kodaha kululongotsa lukuli lwake lwose.
Mleke kuliha lihile kwa lihile au ligho kwa ligho, lekeni muwabaliki, kwaapfila mwemwe tsamkemighwa ne Imulungu ili mbalikiighwe.
Wanangu, tuleke kuwanoghela iwanu kwa kulonga kuliheka, ila tuwanoghele kwa ghamatendo na ukweli.
Mlongeleni IMNDEWA mighede, mlikeme litaghwa lyake,
muwapetele iwanu waghamanye ghamatendo ghake.
Ghumlomo ghwangu ghumema mbuli tsa kukutunya ghweghwe,
na nitsoutangatsa utunitso wako misi yose.
