Akulu Ampingo ndi Anyamata mu Mpingo

1Ine ndikupempha akulu a mpingo amene ali pakati panu, monga inenso mkulu mnzawo, mboni ya zowawa za Khristu ndiponso amene ndidzalandira nawo ulemerero umene uti udzaonetsedwe. 2Wetani gulu la Mulungu limene lili mʼmanja mwanu, muziliyangʼanira. Muzichita osati mowumirizidwa, koma mwakufuna kwanu, monga momwe Mulungu akufunira kuti mutero. Musachite chifukwa chadyera la ndalama, koma ndi mtima ofuna kutumikira. 3Musakhale ngati mafumu pa amene mukuwayangʼanira, koma mukhale chitsanzo kwa gululo. 4Ndipo Mʼbusa wamkulu akadzaonekera, mudzalandira chipewa cha ulemerero chosafota.

5Momwemonso, inu anyamata gonjerani amene ndi akulu. Inu nonse mukhale odzichepetsa kuti mutumikirane, chifukwa,

“Mulungu amatsutsana nawo odzikuza,

koma amapereka chisomo kwa odzichepetsa.”

6Choncho, mudzichepetse pamaso pa Mulungu wamphamvu, kuti pa nthawi yake adzakukwezeni. 7Tayani pa Iye nkhawa zanu zonse chifukwa ndiye amakusamalani.

10Ndipo Mulungu wachisomo chonse, amene anakuyitanani ku ulemerero wake wamuyaya mwa Khristu, mutamva zowawa pa kanthawi, adzakukonzaninso ndi kukulimbitsani pa maziko olimba. 11Kwa Iye kukhale mphamvu mpaka muyaya, Ameni.
