Badwîrhe barhujâcira, nîrhu rhubahè obwangà; badwîrhe barhulibuza, nîrhu rhucîhumbire; 13 badwîrhe barhubêshera, nîrhu rhwanarhûliriza. Rhwabirage nka bijandagwa by’igulu na nka camvu ca boshi kuhika ene.
14 Ntayandisiri ebyo nti mmubonêse nshonyi, ci kuderha nti mmukalihire kulya omuntu akalihira abâna bâge bazigirwa. 15 Bulya ciru wankajira balezi bihumbi n’ebihumbi muli Kristu, basho barhali banga. Nêci, niene nammuburhaga n’Emyanzi y’Akalembe muli Yezu Kristu. 16 Mmuhûnyire, mâshi mwe mukonkwa, mushimbe olwiganyo lwâni. 17 Co canarhumaga nammurhumira Timoteyo, mugala wâni ntonya n’okwânîne okucîkubagirwa muli Nyakasane; ammukengêza oku nyôrha n’oku nyigîriza muli Kristu, kulya nanyigîriza hoshi hoshi omu Ekleziya zoshi.

Ka mulonzize mmuyishire n’eminyuli, nîsi erhi mulonzize nyishe n’obuzigire n’omurhima gw’obutûdu?
