1 Ngawana dzangu, ndomukwalila ikoku kudze musitjinye; koga hapa umwe nhu angathama jinyo, tinaye nlebelekeli ukuna Tate, iye Yesu Khirisitu wakalulama. 2 Ndiye tjibhayilo tjesuka matjinyo edu, kakale kusi edu woga, koga kose nematjinyo ehango yose.

3 Tina lebeswa kuti towunziba hapa titjengeta milayo iye. 4 Iwhoyo unoti, "Ndowunziba" koga asingatjengete milayo iye unyepi, nelebeswa alipo muwunli. 5 Koga kene yani unotjengeta dama lile, muwunli da Ndzimu kwelebeswa kopeleledzewa. Ndiyo zila yeziba kuti timuwunli. 6 Iwhoyo unoti umuwunli wakafanila tjila nezila Khirisitu yaakatjila.

7 Badikani, anditomukwalila nlayo ntshwa, koga nlayo nkulukugwi wamakaba nawo kubvisila kutangisa, nlayo nkulukugwi ndilo dama lamakawha. 8 Koga ke ndomukwalila nlayo ntshwa, ulebeswa muwunli nemumuli, ngobe hhalima lopinda kakale tjedza tjelebeswa tjeepenya kale.
