1 Niinzi chipa nkondo, alimwi niinzi chipa kulwana akati kanu? Teenjalalando zyanu na eezyo zilimunkondo akati kanu? 2 Mulayandisya pesi alimwi taakwe nchimulaacho pe; aboobo mulajeya. Mpawo muli achiyandisyo pesi tamujani pe, aboobo mulalwana mpawo mujana nkondo. Taakwe nchimulaacho pe, nkaambo tamukumbili pe kuli Leza. 3 Mulakumbila alimwi tamutambuli pe, nkaambo mukumbila munzila italuleme pe, kuti muzimanine munjalalando zyanu. 4 Inywe nibasibwaamu batasyomeki! Tamuzina kuti mwenzunyina anyika nguusinkondonyina aLeza? Nkikaako kufumbwa uyanda kuba mwenzunyina wanyika walichita kuba sinkondonyina aLeza. 5 Nikuba kuti muyeeya kuti malembe aamba zyakubeja na kuti, "Uchita buzuba kumuuya ooyo ngwakachita kuti ukkale mulindiswe"? 6 Pesi upa luzyalo lwiindilide, nkikaako aamba kuti, "Leza ulabakazya balisumpula, pesi upa luzyalo kuli balibombya."

11 Nibakwesu, mutaambuuli bubi atala awumwi. Ooyo waambula bubi atala amweenzunyina nikuba kubeteka mweenzunyina, waambula bubi atala amulawu alimwi ubeteka mulawu. Pesi kuti wabeteka mulawu, tuli sikuchita wamulawu pe pesi sikubeteka. 12 Kuli sikupa mulawu uumwi asikubeteka, ooyo ukonzya kufutula akunyonyoona. Pesi nduweni iwe nuubeteka muyakilani wako?

13 Amuswiilile lino, inywe nimwaamba kuti, "Sunu nikuba junza tuzoyinka kuteedi nikuba kudolopo liteedi mpawo tukakkale munyaka nkuko alimwi tukasambale akujana mpindu," 14 anukuti taakwe nchuzi atala ajuunza.
