1 Bainange abatake, atyanu eenu niiyo ebbaluwa yange eyokubiri egimbawandiikira. Omu bbaluwa gyonagyona eibiri, ngendereire kubeewukirya inywe okubbanga nʼenseega ebulamu obubbeyi. 2 Nʼolwekyo ntaka mwewukirye ebibono abanaabbi ba Kibbumba ebibatumwire eira, era nʼebiragiro bya Musengwa era oMulokoli, ebiyabawaire okubita omu batume baanywe.

3 Neye ekikulu mu byonabyona, mutegeere kinu muti, omu naku egyʼoluzwanyuma, abantu abajeregi baliiza nʼebibono ebyokubajerega inywe, ibo balikola ekyo nga baabira ku kwegomba kwabwe okubbikubbi. 3:3 Yud 1:18 4 Era balibba nga batumula bati, “Yasuubizire ati yaliira, aale ali yaina?” Era bati, “Kasookeede abeekubbemberi baiswe abasookere bafa, ebintu byonabyona bikaali biri bityo ngʼowebyabbaire okuzwera nakimo ngʼoKibbumba oweyabbumbire ekyalo.” 5 Neye kinu ikyo bakyebityaku-bwebiti ibo okwerabira bati, eira oKibbumba yalagiire-bulagiri eigulu ni lyebbumba, era olwʼekibonokye ekyalo kyeyawiire okuzwa omu maizi, era singa timaizi ekyalo tikyandibbairewo. 3:5 Nta 1:6-9 6 Era tete nʼamaizi ago, oKibbumba yalagiire amataba ni gaizula ekyalo ekyʼeira era ni kijigirika. 3:6 Nta 7:11 7 Era olwʼekibono ekinyere ekyo, oKibbumba akuumire angulu omwibbanga nʼekyalo ebiriwo atyanu, kaisi oolwo oluzwanyuma abyoce nʼomusyo. Era ebyo abikuumire paka oku lunaku olwʼokusaliraku emisango, nʼokujigirica abantu abatamuwa ekitiisya.

8 Neye atyanu bainange abatake timwerabiranga kinu ekikoba kiti; omu maiso ga Musengwa oKibbumba olunaku olumo luli ooti myanka 1,000, nʼemyanka 1,000 giri ooti lunaku lumo. 3:8 Zab 90:4 9 Era oMusengwa oKibbumba talwawo okutuukirirya ekiyasuubizire ngʼabandi owebaseega, neye abaguminkiriza inywe, olwakubba tataka wabbeewo omuntu yenayena ajigirika, neye ataka abantu bonabona beenenye. 10 Neye olunaku oMusengwa oYesu oluyaliiriraku yaliizira omu kiseera ekimutamusuubiriramu ngʼomwibbi owaiza obwire. Oku lunaku oolwo ebintu ebiri angulu oku kireri byalijigirika nʼomusyo, nʼangulu waliwaawo nga wairiitira ino, era ekyalo nʼebintu byonabyona ebirimu byaliwaawo. 3:10 Mat 24:43; Luk 12:39; 1Se 5:2; Bil 16:15

11 Aale olwakubba oKibbumba yalijigirica ebintu ebyo byonabyona omu ngeri eetyo, inywe muwomeire kubba bantu bengeriki? Omu bwomi bwanywe muwomeire kubba bantu abeeru era abakola oKibbumba ebyasiima. 12 Muli nʼokukola mutyo nga wemukuumiriire olunaku oolwo oKibbumba oluyasalirewo oKurisito okwiriraku, era neenu nga wemwefudaku okusairirya lutuuke mangu nga mulusabira. Era oku lunaku oolwo niirwo oluyalyoceryaku angulu nʼomusyo, era nʼebibbumbe ebiriyo byalisaanuuka nʼomusyo. 13 Neye iswe tukuumiriire eigulu eriyaaka nʼekyalo ekiyaaka ebyo oKibbumba ebiyasuubizire, ibyo ebyalibba kisito abatuukiriire omu balityama. 3:13 Isa 65:17; 66:22; Bil 21:1

14 Kale bainange abatake, nga wemukuumirira ebyo okubbaawo, mwefudeku oMusengwa oYesu abaajirye nga mubulaku eitondo waire ekyokubanenya, kaisi awo mubbe idembe naye. 15 Era mumanye muti oMusengwa waiswe oKibbumba aguminkiriza olwakubba ataka abantu beenenye era balokoke. Era kityo ngʼowoluganda omutake oPawulo yena oweyabawandikiire ngʼakolesya amalabuki ago oKibbumba ageyamuwaire. 16 Yena omu bbaluwagye gyonagyona yagiwandiikire nga gitumula ku nsonga egyo nago. Era ebbaluwagye girimu eBiwandiike ebimo ebigosi byokutegeera, ibyo ebyo abantu abatategeera, nʼabanafu omu kwikirirya ebyebaliibya, ngʼowebakola nʼoku Biwandiike ebindi, aate ngʼekyo kyabazweramu okujigirika.

17 Nʼolwekyo, bainange abatake, atyanu ngʼowemumalire okutegeera ebyo, mwekuume kaisi mwezye okutaliiba olwʼobutali butuuce bwʼabakola ebibbibibbi, olwisi omu ngeri eetyo nywena abanyere mudemba ni muzwa oku mazima ni mutandiika okubuusabuusa. 18 Neye mweyongerenge okubba omu kisa kya Musengwa waiswe era oMulokoli oYesu Kurisito, era mweyongerenge nʼokumumanya. Oleke ekitiisya kiire eeri oKibbumba atyanu nʼemirembe gyonagyona. Amiina.
