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.
Falar com sabedoria
No muito falar não falta transgressão. A boca do justo fala sabedoria, e quem guarda os lábios guarda a si mesmo.
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.
"Peni nunguaghombela, mulinjubha lya toso bhandu bhaabhuha mmalango mumalagho ghoha gha uhila mahala ghabhaghakambukite.
Nnongo ywako ywakakuhokela
"Handa nnongo ywako kaghuhokela, ghughende ghukammonehe uhokelo ghwake pammegha abhili ghweka chenu. Handa katakuyihwa ghwammokola kangi nnongo ghwako.
"Na mwenga pammegha mukuyupa, nkotoke kulongela malagho ghangamanyikwa handa paatenda bhandu bhangammanya Chapanga. Kiyaha bhombe bhanguhwacha kukita bhaayunilwa kwa malagho ghabhe matangalo.
Hinu, lyoheli limulikambuka palubhindu bhandu bhaaliyihwa paulangalo, na kila kinpwepite panga bhandu munyumba kati pantata nlyango, kyalandamighwa palunyakaa."
Ubhwabhu abhu mumundu ghwamaha ghaahuma milando yamaha kuhuma luhanja lwa ghala ghaabheghite mumwoyo ghwake, na mumundu ghwa mahakataho ghaahuma mahakataho kuhuma mughala ghaamemite mumwoyo ghwake. Kiyaha mundu katakambuka kwa ngulu yake ghala ghamemite mu mwoyo ghwake."
Kiyaha handa paghunkambuka ghu mwene kwa ngulu yako kukita Yesu ndo Bambo, na kuhyubhalila mu mwoyo ghwako kukita Chapanga kakinhyuha, ghwaalopoleghwa.
Ubhwabhu abhu, Nhuki ghwa Chapanga kangututangatila mu uyoyobhalo ghwetu, kiyaha tungumanya ng’obhe kitunoghwa kuyupa, peni Nhuki mwene kangutuyupila kwa Chapanga, kwa mabhubhulo ghangahotolwa kukambukwa.
Edificar com palavras
Não saia da boca nenhuma palavra torpe. Sejam prontos para ouvir, tardios para falar, e tardios para a ira.
Malagho mahakata ghakotoke kuyihwanika munkati yenu, ngati nnongele milando ya maha ya kuatangatila na kubhatengelehea bhala bhaayihwa.
Kuyihwa na kutenda
Maalongo bhangu bhanuapala, nkulungwe nnando aghu! Mundu ywohele kayumbatike kuyihwa peni chepa kayumbatike mukulongela ebu mukukalala.
Kiyaha twabhoha tunguhokela mu milando mitangalo. Mundu ywangahokela mu kulongela aywo ndo mundu ntwihiliko, kanguhotola kughukanikiha mmili ghwake ghoha handa kwa lijamu.
Nkotoke kuabhuyiha mahakata kwa mahakata ebu liligho kwa liligho, peni mubhapalile unonelo, mana mwenga mukikemwa na Chapanga mmokole kukingama unonelo.
Bhana apalo, tukotoke kupala kwa malagho ebu kwa ngulu ngati kwa ndendelo na hoto.
