1 Anyiimwe Agalatiya mwakala asabobwa zene. Bwanji, yani wakulojhani? Nghani za kupachikidwa kwake Kilisito zidaikidwa padanga pachogolo panu. 2 Nikonda kujhiwa chindhu chimojhipe kuchoka kwanu. Bwanji, mdalandila Mzimu wa Mnungu ndande ya kuchita ngati umo lifunila thauko, kapina ndande ya kuuvela ni kuukhulupilila Uthenga wa Bwino? 3 Mwakhala asabobwa mtundu umeneo? Anyiimwe mdayamba kukhala moyo wa chipano kwa mthandizo wa Mzimu wa Mnungu. Bwanji, saino mfuna kumaliza kwa mbhavu zanu? 4 Bwanji, mavuto yaya yonjhe yadakupatani ndande ya Uthenga Wabwino yakhala yopande matepe? Zenedi siikhozeka! 5 Bwanji, Mnungu wakupachani Mzimu wochita vodabwicha ndande yogwila thauko, kapina ndande muuvela Uthenga Wabwino ni kuukhulupila?

6 Kumbukilani pa nghani za Ibulahimu, iye wadamkhulupilia Mnungu, ni kwa kukhulupilila kwake, Mnungu wadamvomela kuti iye ni wovomelezeka. 7 Chipano mjhiwe kuti wandhu yawo amkhulupilila Mnungu, achamenewo nde wana azene a Ibulahimu. 8 Malembo ya Mnungu yadatholangizilatu kuti Mnungu siwaachite wandhu kukhala wovomelezeka kwa kupitila khumkhulupilila Iye. Chimwecho malembo ya Mnungu yadachogholela kumkambila Ibulahimu Uthenga Wabwino uwo umakamba, "Kupitila iwe wandhu wonjhe sapachidwe mwawi." 9 Chipano, wajha akhulupilila apachidwa mwawi pamojhi ni Ibulahimu uyo wadakhulupilila.

10 Nambho wonjhe yawo akhulupilila kuomboledwa pakuchita yawo yafununika kwa thauko la Musa, achamenewo alesedwa ni Mnungu. Pakuti, Malembo ya Mnungu yakamba, "Mundhu waliyonje uyo siwachata ni kuchita yonjhe yayo yalembedwa mchikalakala cha thauko la Musa, mundhu mmeneyo walesedwa ni Mnungu." 11 Uzene ni kuti, thauko la Musa silikhoza kumchita mundhu wakhale wovomelezeka kwa Mnungu, pakuti malembo yakamba, "Mundhu wovomelezeka kwa Mnungu siwakhale kwa kumkhulupilila Mnungu." 12 Nambho thauko la Musa silikhulupilila chikhulupi, nambho malembo yakamba kuti, "Uyo siwakwaniliche yayo yafunika ni thauko siwakhale wamoyo."

13 Kilisito watiombola kuchokela mu chileso cha thauko la Musa, walesedwa ndande yathu, pakuti malembo yakamba chimwechi, "Walesedwa mundhu waliyonjhe uyo wapachikidwa pamtanda." 14 Chindhu ichi chichitika ndande ujha mwawi wadapachidwa Ibulahimu uwachikile wandhu wonjhe Ayahudi ni yawo asati Ayahudi kwa kupitila Yesu Kilisito, ni kwa chikhulupililo, tilandile ujha Mzimu Amnungu adakamba kuti satipache.

15 Abale wanga, sinikupacheni chifani kuchokela kuukhalo wathu wa siku zonjhe. Ganizilani umo adavomelezana wandhu awili ni kuchikiza, palibe mundhu wakhoza waongezela chindhu. 16 Chipano Mnungu wadamkambila Ibulahimu pamojhi ni mbadwa wake. Malembo siyakamba, "Nimibadwa yake," yani ambili, nambho yakamaba kuti, "Nimbadwa wake," yani mmojhi naye nde Kilisito. 17 Icho nifuna kukamba nde ichi, Mnungu wadaika pangano chake, vyaka va mia nne ni selasini, zikali zosalembedwe thauko la Musa, ni kulichimikiza, chimwecho thauko limenelo silikhoza kuliwananga pangano limenelo, kapina kung'anamula pangano limenelo. 18 Ngati mbhaso ya Mnungu ikhulupilila thauko, basi siikozanjho kukhulupilila icho wakamba Mnungu. Nambho Mnungu wadampacha Ibulahimu yajha wadamkambila kuti siwampache. 19 Chipano thauko lachiyani? Lidachuluchidwa pamenepo ndande yolangiza machimo ya wandhu, mbaka yapo siwajhe yujha wali mbadwa wa Ibulahimu uyo Mnungu wadakamba kuti siwajhe, Mnungu wadampacha Musa thauko kupitila mtumiki wa kumwamba wa Mnungu, Musa nayo wadapacha wandhu. 20 Zenedi mthenga siwafunika, ikakhala chindhu chene cha nghani ya mundhu mmojhi, nambho Mnungu ni mmojhi, iye wadamkambila Ibulahimu popande mthenga.

21 Bwanji thauko lichuchana ni icho wadakamba Mnungu kuti siwatipache? Ata pang'ono! Pakuti ngati thauko ilo lidachochedwa lidakakhoza kwapacha wandhu umoyo, basi tidakavomelezedwa pachogolo pa Mnungu kwa kulivela thauko. 22 Nambho asati ndande malembo ya Mnungu yathokamba kuti, jhiko lonjhe lili panjhi pa ulamulilo wa machimo, chimwecho yawo amkhulupilila Yesu Kilisito apachidwe chijha wadakamba Mnungu kuti, siwapache kwa kumkhulupilia Yesu Kilisito.

23 Kukhulupilila yapo kudali sikudajhe, tidamangidwa ni kulondedwa ni thauko, timalindilila kukhulupilila kumeneko kuikidwe padanga. 24 Thauko limenelo lidatichogoza mbaka Kilisito yapo wadajha, dala kwa kupitila kukhulupilila tichitidwe ovemelezeka pachogholo pa Mnungu. 25 Chipano tikhoza kukhulupilila Kilisito, chimwecho ife sitichogozedwanjho ni Thauko.

26 Kwa njila ya kumkhulupilila Yesu anyiimwe mwaonjhe mwakala wana Amnungu kwa kulunjhana ni Kilisito Yesu. 27 Anyiimwe onjhe mwabatizidwa ni kulunjana ni Kilisito, chipano mwalingana ni Kilisito. 28 Chimwecho palibe kusiyana pakati pa Myahudi ni wandhu yawo asati Ayahudi, mbowa ni mundhu ni mundhu uyo asati mbowa, wammuna ni wamkazi. Wonjhe ni chindhu chimojhi kwa kulunjana ni Kilisito Yesu. 29 Ngati anyiimwe ni wandhu a Kilisito, basi anyiimwe ni mbadwa wa Ibulahimu, ni simlandile yajha Mnungu wadamkambila Ibulahimu kuti siwampache.
