1Endindi bahi̱ki̱li̱ja baanakyanje, nkubbala kubaasu̱ki̱ya Makulu Ghasemeeye ghaa Luhanga agha naabatebi̱i̱je, agha mwatu̱ngi̱ye kandi agha muneeyongeeye kugumilʼo. 2Makulu Ghasemeeye agha niigho ghakuleka nimukujunwa kaakuba muukala munagumiiye haa kighambo naabatebi̱i̱je eki, kitali eki ku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja kwanu kukuba ku̱kwi̱li̱i̱ye busa.

3-4Nanga butumuwa bwamaani̱ obu naatu̱ngi̱ye niibuwo nanje naabeegheeseei̱ye nti: Ebyahandi̱i̱ku̱u̱we bikughilagha biti, Ki̱li̱si̱to akaku̱wa haabwa bibhi byatu, baamujiika, kandi haa kilo kya kasatu aahu̱mbu̱u̱ka ngoku kili mu Ebyahandi̱i̱ku̱u̱we. 5Peetelo aamubona kandi bwile bunji bakwenda eku̱mi̱ na babili baamubona. 6Haanu̱ma yʼeki bahi̱ki̱li̱ja basaaye bi̱ku̱mi̱ bitaano baamubonela hamui, ti̱ noobu nkwete ku̱bu̱gha buni bamui mu ebo banaakaaye nankabha banji mbaaku̱u̱ye. 7Du̱mbi̱ Yakobbo mu̱ghenji̱ wee aamubona, haanu̱ma bakwenda boona baamubona.

8Haakumaliilila kwa byona nanje naamubona dhee, oghu afooye mukwenda ntabhonganuuwe. 9Ni̱i̱si̱ye wʼokumaliilila ku̱hu̱ti̱ya mu bakwenda boona kandi tanaali ni̱hi̱ki̱ye kungilamu mukwenda, nanga naabona-boni̱yagha bahi̱ki̱li̱ja baa Luhanga. 10Bhaatu Luhanga niiye akangilila ngughuma, ankoma kuba mukwenda, kandi ngughuma angiliiye esi tasyakwi̱li̱i̱ye busa bbaa. Nkakola kwonini kusaali̱ya bakwenda boona, ti̱ tanaaki̱koli̱ye haabwanje nenkaha, bhaatu haabwa ngughuma sya Luhanga angiliiye. 11Nahabwekiini, nankabha si̱ye kedha bakwenda banji, etu̱we boona twatebajagha butumuwa bumui, kandi niibuwo mwahi̱ki̱li̱i̱je.

12Nahabweki obu tulaba ntwabatebi̱i̱je tuti Ki̱li̱si̱to akahu̱mbu̱u̱ka mu baku̱u̱ye, bamui mu enu̱we bakugubha bati̱ya kughila bati baku̱u̱ye tabali̱hu̱mbu̱u̱ka? 13Bhaatu baku̱u̱ye balaba bataku̱hu̱mbu̱u̱ka, bu̱li̱ na Ki̱li̱si̱to taahu̱mbu̱u̱ki̱ye. 14Ti̱ obu Luhanga alaba atahu̱mbu̱u̱ye Ki̱li̱si̱to, kutebeja kwatu takuli na mughaso kandi na ku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja kwanu takuli na mughaso. 15Takili eki kyonkaha bbaa, tukuba tuli baakai̱so baa Luhanga abakuha bisubha, nanga tukulangililagha ngoku Luhanga aahu̱mbu̱u̱ye Ki̱li̱si̱to mu baku̱u̱ye. Bhaatu alaba atahu̱mbu̱u̱ye Ki̱li̱si̱to majima ni ngu nʼabaku̱u̱ye taalibahu̱mbu̱u̱la. 16Obu baku̱u̱ye balaba bataku̱hu̱mbu̱u̱ka bu̱li̱ na Ki̱li̱si̱to taahu̱mbu̱u̱ki̱ye. 17Ti̱ Luhanga alaba atahu̱mbu̱u̱ye Ki̱li̱si̱to, ku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja kwanu nkwabusa, kandi munali mu bibhi byanu. 18Nʼabaku̱u̱ye bahi̱ki̱li̱i̱je Ki̱li̱si̱to, bakahwelekeelela. 19Nitwabaaye twesighiiye Ki̱li̱si̱to haabwa bwomi̱i̱li̱ bwʼomunsi muni bwonkaha, bantu babhonganuuwe kutughana kusaali̱ya banji boona.

20Bhaatu majima Luhanga akahu̱mbu̱u̱la Ki̱li̱si̱to mu baku̱u̱ye, ku̱gu̱mi̱ya ngoku ali̱hu̱mbu̱u̱la nʼabaaku̱u̱ye bahi̱ki̱li̱je Ki̱li̱si̱to. 21Ngoku lu̱ku̱ lwasi̱ye haabwa muntu omui, ku̱hu̱mbu̱u̱ka kwa baku̱u̱ye niikuwo nakuwo dhee kulibʼo haabwa muntu omui. 22Bantu boona ngoku baku̱ku̱wagha haabwa kibhi Adamu aakoli̱ye, niikuwo baliba boomi̱i̱li̱ haabwa kulungana na Ki̱li̱si̱to. 23Oghu Luhanga aadu̱bhi̱ye ku̱hu̱mbu̱u̱la ni Ki̱li̱si̱to, etu̱we bantu be ni̱i̱tu̱we tulilabʼo Luhanga ku̱tu̱hu̱mbu̱u̱la obu Ki̱li̱si̱to alikuuka. 24Obu alikamala ku̱si̱ngu̱la mi̱li̱mu̱ yoona eghi elemi̱ye na maani̱ mu mwanya, naakwati̱ya Luhanga Ese wee bu̱lemi̱, niibuwo mpelo elibʼo. 25Ki̱li̱si̱to akulaghiluwa kulema ku̱hi̱ki̱ya Luhanga ataaye ngi̱ghu̱ sya Yesu syona ensi ya bighele bya Yesu. 26Ngi̱ghu̱ yʼokumaliilila Luhanga ku̱hwelekeeleli̱ya ni lu̱ku̱. 27Ebyahandi̱i̱ku̱u̱we bikughilagha biti, “Luhanga ataaye bintu byona hansi ya bighele biye.” Obu bikughilagha biti, “bintu byona,” baabitaaye hansi ya Ki̱li̱si̱to takikumani̱i̱si̱ya ngu Luhanga oghu akata bintu hansi ya Ki̱li̱si̱to naye alimu.* 28Obu Ki̱li̱si̱to alilema bintu byona, niibuwo Luhanga oghu akaha Mwana oghu bu̱toki̱ kulema bintu byona alilema Mwana oghu, niikuwo Luhanga alemele kimui bintu byona.

29Kaakuba baku̱u̱ye baba bataku̱hu̱mbu̱u̱ka, bantu bakubati̱i̱ji̱buwagha haabwa baanakyabo abaaku̱u̱ye nangaaki? Bakukikolagha nangaaki kaakuba Luhanga aba ataku̱hu̱mbu̱u̱la abaku̱u̱ye? 30Ti̱ etu̱we bakwenda, ekikuleka bwile bwona nitwetaahi̱ya mu kabhi nkiki? 31Bu̱li̱ kilo si̱ye nkuukalagha ndi mu kabhi kaa bantu kunjita, haabwa kulangilila ngoku Ki̱li̱si̱to aahu̱mbu̱u̱ki̱ye. Eki tankukifuwaghayo, nanga nku̱u̱ghu̱wagha nineepanka haabwanu bahi̱ki̱li̱ja baanakyanje kulungana na Ki̱li̱si̱to Yesu Mukama waatu. 32Ndakaba ninaahakani̱yagha bantu baa Efeeso abali nga binyama byʼomu kisaka haabwa bighendeleluwa bya bantu kwonkaha, eki kikughasila ki? Abaku̱u̱ye balaba bataku̱hu̱mbu̱u̱ka, ngoku bantu bakughilagha bati,

33Mutasi̱i̱ma bantu kubahabi̱i̱si̱ya, “Kuukala na bantu abali na ngeso sibhi kikulekagha nʼesyawe sibhiiya.” 34Mutodhe mutandike kweli̱li̱kana kusemeeye kandi muleke ku̱si̱i̱sa; ndimabu̱gha kini kubahemula nti bamui mu enu̱we tabamani̱ye Luhanga.

35Bhaatu muntu akugubha ku̱bu̱u̱li̱ya ati, “Baku̱u̱ye bali̱hu̱mbu̱u̱lu̱wa bati̱ya?” Kandi baliisa bali na mubili ghwa mulingo ki? 36Ebi mbi̱bu̱u̱li̱yo bya budhoma! Nsigho eghi okuhelagha teekutuwagha kuuyʼo edu̱bhi̱ye ku̱ku̱wa. 37Okaakuhelagha, tookuhelagha ekitooye bbaa, okuhelagha kasigho, kedha kaa ngano kedha kaa kintu kinji. 38Bhaatu Luhanga niiye aku̱twesi̱yagha nsigho eghi kandi aghiha mubili ngoku abbali̱ye, ti̱ bu̱li̱ nsigho aku̱ghi̱su̱si̱yagha mu mulingo ghwa mbaghani̱ja. 39Mibili ya bintu teesusaane: Bantu bali na mubili ghwa mbaghani̱ja, bisolo byaba na ghwa mbaghani̱ja, noni̱ syaba na ghwa mbaghani̱ja kandi nsu̱i̱ syaba na ghwa mbaghani̱ja. 40Haliyo mibili yʼomu eghulu na mibili ya munsi; bhaatu ki̱ti̱i̱ni̱sa kya mibili yʼomu eghulu ni kwambaghani̱ja na ki̱ti̱i̱ni̱sa kya mibili yʼomunsi. 41Musana ghukubhaki̱yagha kaati̱, kweli̱ kubhaki̱ya kaati̱ na nsooli̱ya sibhaki̱ye kaati̱, na mu nsooli̱ya halimu ekubhaki̱yagha kaati̱.

42Na ku̱hu̱mbu̱u̱ka kwa baku̱u̱ye niikuwo kuliba kutiyo. Mubili oghu bakujiikagha ghu̱ku̱gu̱nda, bhaatu oghu Luhanga ali̱hu̱mbu̱u̱la taghu̱li̱gu̱nda. 43Bakughujiikagha ghutali na maani̱, bhaatu Luhanga ali̱ghu̱hu̱mbu̱u̱la ghuli na maani̱. 44Bakughujiikagha ghuli mubili kwonkaha, bhaatu Luhanga ali̱ghu̱hu̱mbu̱u̱la ghuli mubili ghwa mwoyo. 45Kihandi̱i̱ku̱u̱we ngu, “Luhanga akahanga Adamu muntu wʼoku̱du̱bha aaba muntu mwomi̱i̱li̱,”* Adamu wʼokumaliilila ni oghu akuhaagha bantu bwomi̱i̱li̱ bwa mwoyo. 46Mubili ghwa mwoyo taaniighuwo ghwadu̱bhi̱ye bbaa, bhaatu ghwa buntu, kandi haanu̱ma yʼeki ghwa mwoyo. 47Muntu wʼoku̱du̱bha bakamuuya mu etaka, owaakabili aalu̱gha mu eghulu. 48Ngoku muntu oghu baahi̱ye mu etaka aabaagha ali, nʼabali munsi niikuwo bali batiyo; kandi na wa mu eghulu ngoku ali, niikuwo nʼabomu eghulu bali batiyo. 49Nahabweki ngoku tususaane na Adamu oghu akalu̱gha mu etaka, niikuwo tulisusaana tutiyo na Ki̱li̱si̱to oghu akalu̱gha mu eghulu.

50Bahi̱ki̱li̱ja baanakyanje, oleke mbaghambile: mubili na saghama tabikugubha kuba mu bu̱lemi̱ bwa Luhanga, mibili yaatu eni eghi eku̱gu̱nda teekugubha kuba hamui nʼeghi etaaku̱gu̱nda. 51Hatiini oleke mbaghambile nsi̱ta eni: Etu̱we bahi̱ki̱li̱ja boona tatuli̱ku̱wa, bhaatu Luhanga alituhindula, 52mu bwile bukee ngoku li̱i̱so likalobhi̱ya. Obu baliteela ki̱i̱di̱yo eki, abaaku̱u̱ye bali̱hu̱mbu̱u̱ka bali na mibili eghi etaakutodha ku̱ku̱wa, ti̱ etu̱we Luhanga alihindula mibili yaatu kwonkaha. 53Mibili eghi eku̱gu̱nda ekulaghiluwa kuhinduluwamu eghi etaaku̱gu̱nda, kandi eghi eku̱ku̱wagha ekulaghiluwa kuhinduluwamu eghi etaaku̱ku̱wagha. 54Obu mibili yaatu yʼomunsi muni eghi eku̱ku̱wa Luhanga alighihindulamu yʼomu eghulu eghi etaaku̱ku̱wa, kandi eghi etaakuukalʼo bwile bwona niyahinduluwamu eghi ekuukalʼo bwile bwona, Ebyahandi̱i̱ku̱u̱we ghaliba majima ebikughilagha biti, “Luhanga aasi̱ngu̱u̱ye lu̱ku̱, aalu̱hwelekeeleli̱ya.”*

58Nahabweki, bahi̱ki̱li̱ja baanakyanje aba nku̱ndi̱ye, muukale munagumiiye haa ku̱hi̱ki̱li̱ja kwanu. Mutasi̱i̱ma kintu kyona kubahabi̱i̱si̱ya. Mweheelagheyo kimui bwile bwona kukola mulimo ghwa Mukama Yesu, nanga mumani̱ye ngoku kukolela kwanu Mukama kutaaku̱kwi̱la busa.
