Vida nova
Em Cristo, toda pessoa é transformada em uma nova criação. O velho passa e tudo se faz novo. A vida nova é o resultado da obra redentora de Jesus em nosso coração.
Morte e ressurreição com Cristo
O batismo simboliza nossa morte para o pecado e ressurreição para uma nova vida. Fomos sepultados com Cristo e ressuscitamos com Ele.
Momenye kʉbha, hanʉ twabhatiizirwɨ, tʉkagwatana na Yɨɨsu Kiriisitʉ mukukwa kwazɨ. Hanʉ tʉbhatiizirwɨ, twarɨ nkina tukuurɨ na kubhiikwa hamwɨmwɨ nawe. Akʉmara Kiriisitʉ akaryukurwa kurwa mʉbhaku kʉbhʉnaja ʉbhʉkʉrʉ bhwa Mungu Bhaabha, na kuriyo, nʉʉrʉ itwɨ tʉratʉra kwikara ubhwikari ubhuhya.

Tʉmɨnyirɨ kʉbha ubhwikari bhwɨtʉ bhwɨ ɨkarɨ bhʉkakwa hamwɨmwɨ na Kiriisitʉ kʉmʉsarabha, korereke zinguru zʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ zɨtatʉkangata kwikɨ, na kotokora tʉbhɨ bhambʉʉsa bhʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ.

Nova criação
Quando aceitamos Jesus, nascemos de novo. A velha natureza dá lugar a uma identidade renovada pelo Espírito Santo.
Ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉwʉʉsi wʉnʉ agwatɨɨnɨ na Kiriisitʉ, abhɨɨrɨ mʉʉtʉ muhya, gɨ ɨkarɨ gahitirɨ, amangʼana amahya gahikirɨ!
Hanʉ Kiriisitʉ aakuurɨ kʉmʉsarabha, eteemwa yaanɨ yɨ ɨkarɨ ɨkakwa. Nangʉ mʉhʉru nɨrɨ, nawe ɨtarɨ chɨmbu naarɨ ɨkarɨ, kʉ kʉbha Kiriisitʉ ana niinyɨ. Ubhwikari bhʉnʉ nɨnabhwɨ ribhaga rɨnʉ, niriikara kubhwisirirya muMwana wa Mungu. Ewe akansɨɨga na akahurucha ubhwikari bhwazɨ kwa niinyɨ korereke antuuryɨ.
Hanʉ bhʉtareeho bhwahʉkani gatɨ wʉ Ʉmʉyaahudi na wʉnʉ atarɨ Ʉmʉyaahudi, wʉnʉ asaarirwɨ na wʉnʉ atasaarirwɨ, umugini hamwɨ umushɨnzi, mbʉʉsa nu umwiyagaaruri. Nawe Kiriisitʉ newe gʉʉsi kwa gʉʉsi, ewe arɨ kʉbhaniimwɨ.
Despir o velho, vestir o novo
A vida nova se manifesta em abandonar os velhos hábitos e revestir-se do novo homem, criado segundo a vontade de Deus.
Mukiijibhwa kʉbha, mutigɨ zeteemwa zaanyu zɨ ɨkarɨ, zɨnʉ zɨkʉsaribhwa nu umwʉyʉ gʉ ʉbhʉkangirirya. Na mokorwe bhahya mumiisɨɨgi ga zekoro zaanyu. Na mʉbhɨ ne eteemwa iihya yɨnʉ yabhumbirwɨ na Mungu, mutuubhanɨ neewe, nɨ-bhaheene mʉrɨ na abharɨndu.
Nawe nangʉ mutigɨ amangʼana gayo gʉʉsi, hamwɨmwɨ nʉ ʉbhʉrʉrʉ, ubhwigatani, ʉbhʉbhɨ, amatuki na ganʉ gatakwenderwa muminywa janyu. Mutiibhʉʉrɨra ʉrʉrɨmɨ, kʉ kʉbha mutigirɨ ubhwikari bhwɨ ɨkarɨ hamwɨmwɨ na amahocha gaaku, na mwibhʉhirɨ obhoronge ubhuhya. Mungu umwene akateema obhoronge bhuyo, na arangʼeha kokora bhutuubhanɨ bhʉkʉngʼu neewe, korereke mʉtʉrɨ komomenya bhwaheene.
Nawe, arɨɨbhɨ tʉraatigɨ ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwɨtʉ, Mungu aratobheerera ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwɨtʉ na kʉtʉbhɨngukya ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwʉsi, kʉ kʉbha ewe, ne-moheene na we eheene.
Renovação interior
Deus promete dar um coração novo e um espírito novo. A transformação nasce do arrependimento e da purificação divina.
Itwʉsi, twarɨ nchebho, tukiikara kʉrɨngʼaana ne ebhoono yɨ ɨmɨbhɨrɨ jɨtʉ, ɨnʉ tʉrakora amangʼana ganʉ gaazʉmɨɨrɨ ɨmɨbhɨrɨ jɨtʉ nu ubhwɨndi bhwɨtʉ. Tukiibhurwa ni isimʉka yʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ ncha abhaatʉ abhandɨ, na twarɨ toreenderwa ukutinirwa kwa Mungu. Nawe Mungu nɨ-wɨ ɨbhɨgʉngi bhyaru, na kʉ kʉbha atʉsɨɨgirɨ kʉbhʉsɨɨgi bhwazɨ ʉbhʉkʉrʉ, akatokora bhahʉru hamwɨmwɨ na Kiriisitʉ. Akakorabhu nʉʉrʉ twarɨ bhaku igʉrʉ wʉ ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwɨtʉ. Kʉbhɨgʉngi bhya Mungu imwɨ mʉsabhwirwɨ.
