Na tenepo, mwana wanga, wangiswe na kukoma ntima kuli mwa Kirixtu Yezu. Na pire pidabva iwe kwa ine pamaso pa mboni zizinji, pereka kuna anthu akukhulupirika akukwanisa kupfundzisambo anango.

Fala iyi ndi yakukhulupirika: Tingafa pabodzi na Iye, tinakhalambo maso pabodzi na Iye; tingapirira, tinatongambo pabodzi na Iye; tingan'khonda, Iyembo anatikhonda; tingakhonda kukhulupirika, Iye asapitiriza kukhala wakukhulupirika, thangwi Iye nkhabe kwanisa kukhonda ekhene.

Nyabasa Anatawirwa na Baba

Akumbuse pinthu penepi, mbuacenjeza pamaso pa Baba wathu toera akhonde kuketesana thangwi ya mafala—kuketesana kwakukhonda phindu, kunafudza ale anabvesera.

Wangisira toera kuperekeka kuna Baba wathu nkati mwa kutawirwa, nyabasa wakukhonda kupaswa manyadzo, anaphatisira mwakulungama fala ya undimo mwene. Mbwenye calira malongero akungaliza na akukhonda cita na Mulungu, thangwi pisathimizira anthu kupita m'kuipa, pontho malongero awo anamwazika ninga cironda cakubvunda. Pakati pawo pana Himeneu na Fileto, ale adabuluka pa undimo mwene, mbalonga kuti kulamuka kwa anyakufa kudamala kale kucitika, mbafudza cikhulupiro ca anthu anango. Mbwenye maziko akuwanga a Baba wathu asapitiriza kukhala, akudindwa cidindo: “Iye asadziwa ale ndi awace,” na “Onsene analonga dzina yace abuluke ku pinthu pyakuipa.”

N'nyumba ikulu muna mbiya zakukhonda khala za oulo na parata basi, mbwenye pontho za muti na za dongo—zinango za mbiri, zinango za manyadzo. Na tenepo munthu angaceneseka ekhene ku pinthu penepi, iye anakhala mbiya ya mbiri: yakucena, yakuphindulisa kuna Mbuya, yakukhunganyika toera basa yonsene yadidi.

Thawa pifuno pya uphale; tsalakana kulungama, cikhulupiro, kufuna, na ntendere pabodzi na ale anacemera Mbuya na ntima wakucena. Leka kubvungazika na mibvundzo yaupswiru na yakusowa ndzeru; usadziwa kuti isabala maketesano. Ntumiki wa Mbuya nkhabe funika kukhala wa maketesano, mbwenye akhale wakupfulika kuna onsene, wakukwanisa kupfundzisa, wakupirira angacitirwa pyakuipa. Mbasandika mwakupfulika ale anan'tcingirira. Panango Baba wathu anaapasa kutcunyuka toera kudziwa undimo mwene, toera iwo abweruke, mbabuluka mu nsampha wa dyabo, ule adaamanga toera acite pinafuna iye.
