Kapitulu 8.

Tuzodi ni luzaya, baphangi, mu kikuma kya khenda za Tata wetu zina záhanwa mu Mabundu ma Masetwani. Bwosu bákala mu kimeka kwa phasi yambuta, kyesi kyawu kyabasa yi kiphutu kyawu kyandindi byavula mu kuvwa kwa lawu. Mukuma, kimbangi kyama kyaki: bahani bwosu báfwana, amana hana thandu ya mawu, mu luzolu lwa bawu-meni. Yi nziki-nziki bátubokwadila kikuma kya khenda yi lusadisu lwa kusadila bahedila. Kyákalaku bwosu twakala banzila; kaasi bádihana bawu-meni theti kwena Pfumu, amana kunima kwena betu, mu luzolu lwa Tata wetu. Buna thwábokwadila Titi ni kamanisa phi kisalu kyaki kya khenda mukati dya benu, bwosu kedi káyandika. Kaasi bwosu lwisi luta mu mambu moosu, mu lukwikilu, mu ndinga, mu nzayilu, mu tsambu yosu, yi mu lungongu luna thwenina mukuma kya benu, sandenu phi mu kuluta mu kisalu kyaki kya kuvwa. Kyaki kyeku kya mutsiku ku; nzodi yimeka kyedika kya lungongu lwenu mu nzila ya tsambu ya bahika. Luzayi khenda za Pfumu wetu Yesu Kidisitu: mbatanana kákala mvwama, wákituka musukami kikuma kya benu, ndangu kiphutu kyandi kyalukhitula bamvwama. Mabanza mama mu dyambu dyaki: kyenina mupfunu kwena benu, bana mu mvula yilutini lwáyandika ka kuhanga kwawu lwesi, kaasi yi kuzola phi kuhanga kwawu. Buthwena, lumanisenu phi kuhanga, ndangu kyesi kya kuzola kwafwanakana yi kumanisa kwawu, mu mana lwenina mawu. Yuka ni kyesi kyenina, kisi tambwasa bwosu bwenina mana mutu kenina mawu, ka mu mana makondini ku. Nzodibwoku ni bahika balembika amana benu lwenina yi zitu, kaasi hanga mufwanakanu wakala. Buthwena bwabu, kuluta kwenu kwafweti sadisa kukonda kwa bawu, ndangu kuluta kwa bawu kwasadisa kukonda kwenu, amana mufwanakanu wakala. Bwosu bwásonama: «Wuna wábundula bwa lawu kákalaku yi kuluta, amana wuna wábundula bwa fyodi kákalaku yi kukonda.»
