[1] Ariko bavukanyi, ivyo ibihe n'imisi ntimurinda kuvyandikirwa.
[2] Kuko ubwanyu muzi neza yuko umusi w'Umwami wacu uzoza nk'uko igisuma kiza mw'ijoro.
[3] Aho bazoba bavuga bati: Hari amahoro, nta nkomanzi; ni ho uguhona kuzobazako giturumbuka, nk'uko ibise biza ku mugore akuriwe, kandi ntibazokwikiza na gatoya.
[4] Ariko mweho, bavukanyi, ntimuri mu mwiza, ngo uwo musi ubashikeko giturumbuka;
[5] kuko mwese muri abana b'umuco n'abana b'umurango. Ntituri abo ijoro canke abo umwiza.
[6] Nuko rero ntidusinzire nka ba bandi, ariko twame tugavye, twirinde ibiboreza.
[7] Kuko abasinzira basinzira mw'ijoro, n'ababorerwa baborerwa mw'ijoro.
[8] Ariko tweho, ko turi abo umurango, twirinde ibiboreza, twambaye icuma gikingira igikiriza c'ukwizera n'urukundo, kandi twambaye nk'inkofero ukwizigira agakiza.
[9] Kuko Imana itadushiriyeho kuturakira, ariko yadushiriyeho guheshwa agakiza n'Umwami wacu Yesu Kristo,
[10] ni we yadupfiriye kugira ngo tubaneho na we, ari iyo turi maso canke dusinziriye itiro ry'urupfu.
[11] Nuko muhanurane, mukomezanye, nk'uko mubikora nyene.
[12] Ariko bavukanyi, turabinginga, mumenye abakora muri mwebwe bagatama, babaganza mu Mwami wacu, bakabahanura,
[13] mububahe rwose mu rukundo kubwo igikorwa cabo. Mubane amahoro.
[14] Kandi turabahanura, bavukanyi, muhanure abasaragurika batagomba gukora, muremeshe abarandutse imitima, muramire abanyantege nke, mwihanganire bose.
[15] Mwirinde, ntihagire umuntu yihora uwundi ikibi yamugiriye, ariko mwame mukurikira iciza mu vyo mugiriranira no mu vyo mugirira abandi bose.
[16] Munezerwe imisi yose;
[17] musenge ubudasiba;
[18] mwame mukenguruka muri vyose, kuko ico ari co Imana ibagombako muri Kristo Yesu.
[19] Ntimukazimye Mpwemu;
[20] ntimugakengere ivyo abavugishwa n'Imana;
[21] musuzume vyose, mugumye ivyiza,
[22] mwirinde icitwa ikibi cose.
[23] Kandi Imana Nyenamahoro ibe ari yo ibeza rwose. Kandi impwemu yanyu, ubugingo n'umubiri wose hamwe bizigamwe, ngo bizosangwe bitagira umugayo, aho umwami wacu Yesu Kristo azozira.
[24] Iyibahamagara ni iyo kwizigirwa; no kubikora izobikora.
[25] Bavukanyi, mudusengere.
[26] Muramukishe abavukanyi kugumbirana kwera.
[27] Ndabarahiye Umwami wacu, iki cete ntikizobure gusomerwa mu bavukanyi bose.
[28] Ubuntu bw'Umwami wacu Yesu Kristo bubane namwe.
