8 Nanyi udi gifua muthu watema? Nanyi udi mujiya ndaga yajiya gumanesela mulonga? Ndunge jia muthu jiana buisa phala yenji henyi-henyi, jiana katula gufunya gua phala.

2 Ngudi muzuela egi: “Tumagela mikhuala ya fumu, handaga aye wadilogele gutuama dia Nzambi. 3 Ukatugago muphushi gutuama dienji. Udinginyisago nga mu ndaga imoshi yabola; handaga fumu wajiya gutshita ndaga yagasue yatshigina muene, 4 handaga mbimbi ya gisugishilo yana katuga gudi fumu, nanyi wajiya gumuhula egi: ‘Itshi udi mutshita?’”

5 Muthu udi mutumagela mikhuala mbagashigo mumona malamba, mutshima wa muthu watema wana jiya tangua diatagana nu luholo lua gulondega mulonga wagasue. 6 Mulonga wagasue wana khala nu tangua nu luholo lua guwulondega, handaga malamba a athu ana khala avula. 7 Gushigo nu muthu udi mujiya ndaga mbayibua gutuama, nanyi giwa wajiya gumuwambela luholo ndaga yene mbayibua?

8 Gushigo nga nu muthu udi nu ngolo jia guhinyina nga jia gukuata nyuma,* luholo lumoshi nji, gushigo nu muthu udi nu ngolo jia gukatula lusugu luenji lua gufua. Suta diajiyilego guhanewa njila ya guvutuga guembo hadi ita muluiwa, luholo lumoshi nji, gubola guajiyilego gubemba muthu wana tshita gubola ha gulenga.*

9 Ngamonele ndaga eji jiagasue, ngatalele muabonga midimo yagasue yakhalele mukalegewa ha mavu, mu tangua muthu wakhalele muhinyina muthu n’a muko ha gumumonesa lamba.* 10 Ngamonele luholo afundjile athu abola mu malumba, anyi akhalele mungina nu guzoga ha fundo dia gijila, uvi ajimbidiwe muphushi mu dimbo diakhalele ene mukalagala ndaga jiabola. Yene nji idi ndaga ya githuhu.

11 Athu adi gudihana ha gutshita gubola handaga ndola ishigo muhanewa muphushi mukunda nu makalegelo abola. 12 Muthu wabola wajiya gutshita gubola mbala 100, uvi galandula genji gujinga masugu avula; ikhale ngenyi, ngudi mujiya egi ndaga mbajiyila muabonga mukunda nu muthu wana vila Nzambi wa giamatshidia woma, handaga wana gumuvila woma. 13 Uvi ndaga mbajishigo muyila muabonga mukunda nu muthu wabola. Masugu a monyo wenji adi gifua vule, muene gajiyilego gualehesa, handaga gana vilago Nzambi woma.

14 Gudi nu ndaga iko ya githuhu yana kalegewa ha mavu: Athu adi mukalegela athu abonga ndaga gifua adi athu abola, uvi adi mukalegela athu abola ndaga gifua adi athu abonga. Na hene ngazuela egi, yene nji idi ndaga ya githuhu.

15 Hene ngudi muwambela athu ha gukhala nu gusuanguluga, handaga gushigo nu ndaga yabonga mukunda nu muthu gubalega gudia nu gunua nu gusuanguluga; muthu udi naye gukhala nu ndaga eji hadi muene mutshita mudimo wakola mu masugu a monyo wenji anyi amuhanele Nzambi ha mavu.

16 Ngadihanele nu mutshima wami wagasue ha guheta ndunge nu ha gumona midimo yagasue yana kalegewa ha mavu, ngakhalelego mubanda phipha nu muanya. 17 Gungima ngatalele midimo yagasue ya Nzambi wa giamatshidia, ngakotelesele egi athu ajiyilego gukotelesa ndaga jidi mukalegewa ha mavu. Ngatshima atshita gawo ngolo, uvi ajiyilego gukotelesa. Ikhale atangiza egi adi nu ndunge jiavula ha gukotelesa ndaga jiene, ajiyilego diago gukotelesa.
