Orgulho
O orgulho é um dos pecados mais condenados na Bíblia. Deus resiste aos soberbos, mas dá graça aos humildes. A humildade é o caminho da honra verdadeira.
Deus resiste ao soberbo
A soberba precede a ruína e o orgulho antecede a queda. Deus abomina o coração altivo e promete humilhar quem se exalta.
Humildade como caminho
Humilhai-vos diante do Senhor e Ele vos exaltará. A grandeza no Reino vem pelo serviço humilde, não pela autopromoção.
Nawe Mungu aratwongera ɨbhɨgʉngi, necho kigiriryɨ yandikirwɨ mʉMaandɨkʉ Amarɨndu,

Os perigos do orgulho
O orgulho cega, gera contendas e afasta de Deus. A Escritura adverte contra a soberba da vida e a vã glória mundana.
Ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwa kʉʉsɨ nebhwe bhʉnʉ, umwʉyʉ ʉmʉbhɨ gwʉ ʉmʉbhɨrɨ, rihari ryʉ ʉkʉbha nachʉ chʉchʉsi kɨnʉ ʉmʉʉtʉ akɨrʉʉzɨ, nu ubhwiyungi kʉ kʉbha yu ubhuniibhi. Bhyʉsi bhiyo bhɨtakurwa kwa Bhaabha Mungu nawe bhɨrarwa mʉʉsɨ mʉnʉ.

Mokoro yʉ ʉmʉʉtʉ nɨmu gahaarwa amiisɨɨgi amabhɨ, ɨtaarʉ, ubhwibhi, ubhwiti, ʉbhʉsɨbhɨɨti, ubhwimani, ʉbhʉbhɨ, ʉbhʉkangirirya, amangʼana ga zɨsʉni, rihari, amatuki, ikisiraani no obhogeege.

O olhar de Deus
O Senhor não olha como o homem. Ele vê o coração e se agrada dos quebrantados de espírito e dos que tremem diante da sua Palavra.
Mwikarɨ hamwɨmwɨ kubhwɨndi bhʉmwɨ. Mʉtabha muriikorya, nawe mwiyichɨ, mʉbhɨ nu ubhugwatani na abhaatʉ bhi iyaasɨ. Mutiirora, imwɨ nɨ-bha amangʼɨɨni bhʉkʉngʼu.
