"Ushaaka ubugingo bwiza

no kubona igihe ciiza,

kandi arinde n'iminwa ye kugira ngo itavuga ibinyoma.

11 Ni ahinduke ave mu byaha akore ibyiza.

12 Kuko Uhoraho ahoza ijiisho rye kubakiraanutsi,

kandi yumva amasengeesho yaabo.

Ariko areeba igitsuuri inkozi z'ibibi."

Mugire umutima ukeeye, kugira ngo nibabasebya, abo babatuka babaryoza imyifatire yaanyu myiza muri Kristo bazaakorwe n'isoni. 17 Kuko icaaruta n'ukubabazwa ku bwo gukora ibyiza, niiba uko kubabazwa ari ubushaake bw'Imaana, kuruta kubabazwa ku bwo gukora ibibi. 18 Kuko Kristo na we yababajwe* rimwe ku bw'ibyaha bya boose, we yari intungaane apfiira abanyabyaha, kugira ngo abahuuze n'Imaana. Yiishwe mu buryo bw'umubiri, ariko ahindurwa muzima mu mwuka, 19 nuuko aja kubwiriza imyuka yari imbohe. 20 Iyi yari ya myuka y'abo batumviye Imaana ubwo yayiihangaaniraga mu minsi yo Nowa yuubakaga ubwato bunini. Abantu bake bagera ku munaane nibo baarokowe n'amaazi. 21 Kandi ayo maazi ni ikimenyeetso c'umubatizo weerekana ko mukijijwe. Si ugukurwaho umwanda ku mubiri, ahuubwo n'iseezeerano uba ukoreye Imaana n'umutima ukeeye. Uwo mubatizo ni wo ubakiza ku bw'izuuka rya Kristo Yesu, 22 wazaamuutse akaja mu ijuru kandi akaba yiicaye iburyo bw'Imaana. Ni we urigutegeka abaamalayika n'abafite ubushobozi n'imbaraga mu ijuru.
