1 Ni me Pahuli, wu Nzambi hateele mu uba iluumbi hya Kristo Yisu, mu litondo la Nzambi. Itwadi na mwana a ngu Sosetene, 2 me ndi mu utsonehe huli libundu la Nzambi la hu musyenge a Koliito✝, huli ba baatsyemese mu Yisu Kristo. Nzambi ateele bo mu uba baatu ba nde bangidi, na huli boosi pasi tsyelo yi bo bali, ba bali mu usambila Pfumu a bisu Yisu Kristo, Pfumu a bo na wa bisu kaka.

3 Nyaha Nzambi Taata a bisu na Pfumu Yisu Kristo bava benu hyese na hyenze.

4 Tangu yoosi, me umbaapfutala matondo huli Nzambi mu tooni a benu, mu hyese hi nde hasa benu ba laakangama mu Yisu Kristo. 5 Ni mbuli, mu Kristo benu laamiiyaka busina bwosi: bwa mambu na bwa nzaabili. 6 Bisu laalongese benu Musamu wu Mubwe wa Kristo, bunuubu, benu laamiikangama mu nde na ngolo yoosi. 7 Ni mu buuna, bungodu tso bumosi a bwavele ŋa hati la benu ve, benu ba lili mu ukeele na hiitu hyoosi, tangu yi Pfumu a bisu Yisu Kristo humonehele. 8 Nzambi ni wu uhwadisa benu natee hu tsukusu, mana bavelebaha dyambu li usyembe benu mu ilumbu hya nziili a Pfumu Yisu Kristo. 9 Nde mwakulu wu ateele benu mu uba itwadi na Mwana a nde Yisu Kristo Pfumu a bisu: nde li ngetetee mu malahi✝ ma nde.

10 Baana ba ngu, me ndi mu uhwadisa benu, mu nduhi a Pfumu a bisu Yisu Kristo, mu ubaayuhasana, mana makabu maveleba ŋa hati la benu. Baabaani itwadi mu uba tsimi mosi na mutima mumosi.

11 Eye, baana ba ngu a me, baatu ba nzo a Kolowe, baayabisa me ti iboho hili ŋa hati la benu. 12 Me tondi uleele bunuubu: pasi muutu mu benu li na tsuhili mo yiniiyi. Mumosi ti: «Me, me wa Pahuli me ndi». Mukima ti: «Me wa Apoloosi». Mukima kaka ti: «Me wa Peetelo» buuve, «Me wa Kristo!» 13 Benu lili mu utsima ti utwala ukaba Kristo? Pahuli ni wu akwidi ŋa kuruwa mu tooni a benu? Buuve, benu kaahu mu nduhi a Pahuli baatondihi?

14 Matondo huli Nzambi, bu me aveletondehe tso mumosi ŋa hati la benu, vengo Krisipusi na Ngayusi✝. 15 Ni mu buuna, muutu tso mumosi a hutwala uleele ve ti, baatondehe nde mu nduhi a me. 16 Eye! Kaahu, me ambwetondehe kaka bisu nzo a Setefano. Me tsimi ti me a haabwetondehe muutu mukima ve. 17 Mu tooni ati, Kristo a haatsindaha me mu utondehe ve. Ka nde atsindaha me mu uyabisa Musamu wu Mubwe, hwavele usalila bitoyili bya tsiki yi imuutu, mana lipfu la Kristo ŋa muti livelefwa matwala.

18 Mu mbuli, ulongese mu tsangu yi lipfu la Yisu ŋa kuruwa, hu li ladi ŋa busu bwa baatu ba baamiidimbala. Ka mu bisu a benu ba lili mu nzila liyobolo: tsangu yi lipfu la Yisu ŋa muti yili matwala ma Nzambi.

19 Mabasonehe ma Ngidi mali mu uleele, bunuubu:

«Me tsa tsala tsikihili a banga tsiki,

na me tsa mbuma buyedi bwa banga buyedi✝.»

20 Banga tsiki huni bali? Babaayiha huni bali? Banga bileedi huni bali? Ka Nzambi amweese ti tsikihili a tsi mo yiniiyi yili ladi✝!

21 Mu mbuli, mu tsiki a nde, Nzambi amiisa ti baatu ba tsi baveletwala uyaaba nde mu tsiki a bo mwakulu. Ni mu buuna, nde haamiivolo kesili yi uyobolo ba bali mu usa imiinu, mu nzila a ndongisili yi yili mu umonehele we ladi. 22 Bayudaayo bali mu uvondo biliimbu bya kimuhili, na Bangeleke bali mu usaha mambu ma tsiki. 23 Ka bisu, bisu uyabisa baatu ti Kristo ni wu akwa ŋa kuruwa. Nzabisili mo yiina, ni baku lilinene ŋa busu bu Bayudaayo na lo lili ladi huli bangoyi. 24 Ka huli ba Nzambi haateele, tso huli Bayudaayo buuve Bangeleke, Kristo ni matwala na tsiki a Nzambi. 25 Mu tooni ati, ladi la Nzambi laalutahala tsiki a baatu, na ukolo hwa Nzambi hwalutahala pinyu a baatu.

26 Baana ba ngu, tsimaani buni benu laaba ŋa Nzambi haateeli benu. Mu talili yi imuutu, ŋa hati la benu, banga tsiki ndulu hoole bali, banga lituma ndulu hoole bali, ba bali mu bibaandu bi byamonehele ndulu hoole bali. 27 Ka Nzambi asoolo bi baatu bubaamono ti ladi, mu ukwisa banga tsiki tsonyi. Na nde asoolo bi baatu bubaamono ti byakolo, mu ukwisa banga a pinyu tsonyi. 28 Nzambi asoolo bi baatu ba tsi bubaamono ti byakulamana, bi baarokolo, tso bi byavele na tsongo, mu udimbasa bi bo bali mu umono ti byafulala tsongo. 29 Nzambi haasa buuna, mana muutu tso mumosi a hasa nyeme ŋa busu bwa nde. 30 Ka ni mu tooni a Nzambi benu laapfuutana na Yisu Kristo. Nde ni tsiki yi yibaamata huli Nzambi. Ni nde ubaakuhasa bisu butsiitsa ŋa busu bwa Nzambi, wu ubaava bisu muswa mu uba moonyi mu Nzambi, na wu ubaayobolo bisu mu masumu ma bisu. 31 Ni mu buuna, we bu Mabasonehe ma Ngidi mali mu uleele: «Tso muutu tondi usa nyeme, nyaha nde asa nyeme mu ma Pfumu haavaanga✝.»
