1 Bwanji ine osati kapolo? Bwanji ine sinidamwone Yesu Ambuye wathu? Bwanji osati ine nakuchogozani kumkhulupilila Yesu? 2 Atangati kwa wandhu wina ine osati Mtumwi, nambho zene anyiimwe muvomela ine ni mtumwi kwanu, anyiimwe kumkhulupila kwanu Yesu kulangiza kuti ine ni mtumwi.

3 Kwa wandhu yawo anichucha, ine nikamba chimwechi. 4 Bwanji ine sinifunika kupachidwa chakudya ni chakumwa kwa njhito yanga? 5 Bwanji, sitifunika kumanga ulendo ni mkazi wakhulupila, ngati umo achitila atumwi wina ni achabale a Yesu ni Petulo? 6 Bwanji ine ni Banaba nde tifunika kuchita njhito dala tikhale amoyo? 7 Bwanji, asikali yuti wapita kundeo kwa malipilo yake mwene wake? Mlimi yuti siwakudya vipacho vya munda wa zabibu? Owesa viweto yuti uyo siwakumwa likama la viweto vake?

8 Nambho nili ni vifani vambili mu ukhalo wa kila siku kwa nghani ijha nakamba, thauko la Musa ilo wapachidwa ni Mnungu nalo likambanjho chimwecho. 9 Pakuti, yalembedwa muthauko la Musa ilo wapachidwa ni Mnungu, "Usaicheka ng'ombe kukamwa yapo ipukutula ngano." Bwanji Mnungu yapa wausika ni ng'ombe? 10 Zene Mnungu siwakamba yaya ndande yathu? Zene yalembedwa ndande yathu, pakuti mlimi wa vakudya wavomeleka kulima kwa chikhulupi, ni iye okolola vakudya wadikila kupheza vakudya. 11 Ikakhala ife tidakupachani mawu la Mnungu pakati panu. Bwanji sitifunika kupata vindhu ndande ya umoyo uwu kuchoka kwanu? 12 Ngati wina apachidwa mthandizo kuchoka kwanu, idakafunika ife tipachidwe vindhu vimenevo kupitilila anyiiwo.

Nambo ife sitidapachidwe vindhu vimenevo, mmalo mwake tilimba mtima kwa kila kandhu dala sitida chekeleza Uthenga Wabwino wa Kilisito. 13 Bwanji simujhiwa kuti wandhu achita njhito mnyumba ya Mnungu apata chakudya kuchokela mnyumba ya Mnungu, ni anyiwajha achita kumazabao apata njhembe ya kumazabao. 14 Chimwecho, Ambuye alamula kuti wajha alalikila Uthenga apheze mkokolo kuchokana ni ulaliki.

15 Nambho ine sinida tumile ata imojhi ya vivomelezedwe vimenevo, nane sinilemba yaya kukhulupilila kuti simunichitile yameneyo. Ine kwanga mbasa nimwalile osati kumchita mundhu waone nijhielekela! 16 Nambho yapo nilalikila Uthenga sinikhoza kujhielekela pakuti napacidwa njhito ya kulalikila nambho sinivutike ngati sinilalikila Uthenga. 17 Nikaichita njhito iyi kwa kufuna kwanga nidaka dikila mkokolo, nambho pakuti sinida sanghe kuichita njhito iyi, chimwecho ni njhito napachidwa niichite. 18 Chimwecho mkokolo wanga chindhu chanji, basi? Mkokolo wanga ni kulalikila Uthenga Wabwino chajhe, popande kufuna mkokolo wa kulalikila Uthenga Wabwino.

19 Chimwecho nalimfulu, osati kapolo wamundhu waliyonjhe Sinimangika, nidajhichita kapolo wakila mundhu ili nipheze kwaguza wandhu ambili kumkhulupilila Kilisito. 20 Kwa Ayahudi nidali ngati Ayahudi, dala natangatile Ayahudi ambili aomboledwe, anyiwajha ali panjhi pa thauko la Musa, dala nikhoze kwapata anyiwajha adali panjhi pa thauko. 21 Chimwecho, kwa anyiwajha osati Ayahudi nidakhala ngati anyiiwo dala nathangatile kumkhulupilila Kilisito. Ichi sichilangiza kuti ine sinilivela ni kulichata thauko la Mnungu, pakuti nabanidwa ni thauko la Kilisito. 22 Yapo nidapita kwa osauka nidajhichita osauka, dala napate anyiiwo osauka. Nachita kila kandhu kwa wandhu wonjhe, dala napate kwa lamicha akumojhi wao.

23 Nichita yaya yonjhe ndande ya Uthenga Wabwino, dala ine ni anyiimwe tipate mwawi uwo uchoka kwa Mnungu. 24 Zene mujhiwa kuti paliwilo onjhe atamanga, nambho ni mmojhipe nde uyo wapachidwa mbhaso. Chimwecho tamangani liwilo dala mpate mbhaso. 25 Othamanga ajhikonjekela ni kujhimana vambili, achita chimwecho dala apate mbhaso yowanangika, nambo ife tichita chimweho dala tilandile mbhaso ya umoyo muyaya. 26 Chimwecho, yapo nithamanga dala nikhoze, nde umo nibulanilana, ine sinilingati obula nghondo uyo wabula nghonyo pachajhe. 27 Chimwecho, nilivuticha thupi langa ni kujhichekeleza kuti lichite ichonichifuna ni nikatho alalikila wina sinidakanidwa.
