1 Ingye Polo, nyɨrɨmʉthʉmwa wa Yesʉ Kirisito kw'ɨshasha lya Gongo. Ni ingye hagʉma na Timote mʉgala ethʉ, 2 thwo thʉbashakɨra imwe bandʉ ba Gongo b'iyinihirwa bo balɨ iKolosayi. Mʉlɨ bagala bethʉ babuyirire, mʉ Yesʉ Kirisito. Mubye n'olʉkogo n'obʉholo byo bɨthoka ewa Gongo Thatha.

3 Mo bʉlɨ ndambi othunabya thʉlɨ othʉbashabɨra, othʉnasɨma Gongo, Ishe wa Nyinya-kowethʉ Yesʉ Kirisito. 4 Othʉkola thuthyo, kʉshangwa mothwonvwa nɨabasɨmola ko lwɨkɨrɨtsyo lwenyu mʉ Yesʉ Kirisito na ko mutsiire abɨkɨrɨtsya boshi.* 5 Ebyo bɨthokene n'omuyinihiro w'ebyo Gongo ababikire mo lʉbʉla. Omuyinihiro oyo, nɨ wo mwonvwaga balɨ abasɨmola bʉshana nawo mwabere mwafʉlɨrwa Engʉlʉ Mbʉya, eKɨnwa ky'ekwenene. 6 Engʉlʉ Mbʉya eyɨkona malambo na eyɨheka biguma mo kɨhʉgo kyoshi, nga ko yakolaga mo kathi-kathi kenyu ɨthanga ekɨro mwonvwaga balɨ abafʉla omwatsɨ w'olʉkogo lwa Gongo n'ɨmɨnya ko nɨ bya kwenene. 7 Nɨ Epafʉra mukoli mulikyethu mʉtsɨɨrwa yo wabakangɨrɨtsayabyo. Naye ni mukoli w'iyinihirwa wa Kirisito bʉshana nemwe.

8 N'ɨye yo wathʉganʉlɨra olwanzo lwenyu olo mwahabawa n'oMʉthɨma Mwerʉ. 9 Nɨ bʉshana n'ekyo thʉthalɨ othulika erɨbashabɨra, ɨthanga ko kɨro thwonvwaga emyatsɨ enyu. Othʉnashaba Gongo abamɨnyɨse kʉbʉya erishondya lɨwe, ɨtsʉkɨra ko buthegekania n'obwenge bʉwe bo bʉnahanwa n'oMʉthɨma Mwerʉ. 10 Aho mwagenda omʉyɨwatha nga ko Nyinya-kowethʉ ashashire n'imumoya mo bɨndʉ byoshi. Bʉshana n'ekyo, mwandahika kw'ɨkola bɨbʉya n'ɨmɨnya Gongo yo kʉtsɨbʉ. 11 Gongo agende abaha kagala mw'ɨtsʉkɨra amaka w'olʉkengerwa lʉwe, bʉshana mutsitsinie ko bʉlɨ kɨndʉ bʉthalʉha nɨmʉlɨ n'olʉmogo. 12 Mʉgende omʉsɨma Thatha Gongo yo wabahaga maka w'erɨshangɨra ko mwandʉ w'ababuyirire mo kyakakala. 13 Kʉshangwa mwathʉshabʉla ɨthoka mo maka w'omwitsimya* n'ɨthwɨngɨtsya mo bwamɨ bwa Mʉgala ʉwe mʉtsɨɨrwa, 14 nɨ kw'ɨye ko thwamashabʉlwa ɨthoka mo bɨbɨ na kuthyo ebɨtsɨbʉ byethʉ byamaganyɨrwa.*

15 Kirisito ni shoshani ya Gongo yo ʉthashʉngɨka. Ɨye nɨ Kambere, mʉkʉlʉ mo byoshi byo bya bʉmbawa.* 16 Kʉshangwa nɨ kw'ɨmʉtsʉkɨra, ko Gongo abʉmbaga ebyoshi mo lʉbʉla na mo kɨhʉgo, ebyo bɨnashʉngɨka na byo bɨthalɨ ebɨnashʉngɨka. Bubye bwamɨ kʉtse bʉkʉlʉ, kʉtse buthegeki kʉtse maka. Gongo mwabʉmba ebyoshi kw'ɨtsʉkɨra Kirisito na bʉshana naye. 17 Kirisito abyagaho embere w'ebɨndʉ byoshi, na nɨ kw'ɨye kw'ebɨndʉ byoshi bithondekire. 18 Kirisito nɨ muthwe w'omʉbɨrɨ, n'omʉbɨrɨ oyo ni aKanisa. Ɨye nɨ ndangɨro, Kambere mo baholi, bʉshana abye mʉmbere mo byoshi. 19 Kʉshangwa Gongo mwashʉnga kʉbʉya ɨye woshi abye mʉ Mʉgala. 20 Na kw'ɨtsʉkɨra Kirisito, Gongo mwashondya ihindania abandʉ boshi hagʉma naye. Nɨ kw'ɨtsʉkɨra omʉsasɨ wa Mʉgala ow'asheshekaga komʉsalaba mwaletha obʉholo ko bandʉ boshi, ibye ko kɨhʉgo, kʉtse mo lʉbʉla. 21 Nemwe kera ndɨ mwabyaga hale na Gongo, na mwabyaga nzigu sɨwe bʉshana n'ebɨbɨ mwagenda omʉganɨtsya n'ɨkola. 22 Hewethuwe lɨno, Gongo mwabahindania n'ɨye yo wene ɨtsʉkɨra olʉholo lwa Mʉgala mo mʉbɨrɨ, bʉshana mʉshʉngɨke bandʉ babuyirire embere sɨwe, bʉtsɨra bʉlema na bʉbɨ boshi-boshi. 23 Hewethuwe bɨtholere nɨmwayɨtsɨnga ibya n'olwɨkɨrɨtsyo. Mushike na mubye ko mʉsɨngɨ ow'ashikire, muthamikaga omuyinihiro enyu ɨthanga ho mʉkonvwɨra Engʉlʉ Mbʉya, eyo yafʉlɨrwa ebɨhangɨkwa byoshi hano ishi. Nangye Polo monyayɨrwamo mukoli w'eNgʉlʉ Mbʉya eyo.

24 Na lɨno nyɨmogere amalɨgo wo nyɨrɨ nawo bʉshana nemwe. Mw'ɨtsʉkɨra eryagalwa lyaye, enyɨbereretsya amalɨgo ow'ashakaga ko mʉbɨrɨ wa Kirisito, n'omʉbɨrɨ ʉwe nɨ aKanisa. 25 Nangye nyabere mukoli w'eKanisa ɨkwamana n'omʉlɨmo wo Gongo anyɨhaga bʉshana nemwe. Omʉlɨmo oyo, nɨerɨfʉla eKɨnwa kya Gongo mo kwenene. 26 Ekɨnwa ekyo nɨ olʉfʉmɨ lwa bishawa ɨthanga kera. Hewethuwe lɨno, amabishuliralo ko bandʉ bʉwe babuyirire. 27 Kʉshangwa Gongo mwashondya ibishula obushoki n'olʉkengerwa by'olʉfʉmɨ olo ko bandʉ b'ebɨhanda. N'ebyoshi ebyo binegenire bɨthɨ: Kirisito alɨ emwishi senyu, nɨ ɨye yo ʉbaha muyinihiro ko muwithe mʉhango ko lʉkengerwa lwa Gongo. 28 Aho othʉkangɨrɨtsya abandʉ bo Kirisito. Othʉhana n'ɨkangɨrɨtsya bʉlɨ mʉndʉ mo buthegekania boshi, bʉshana n'ɨyɨra bʉlɨ mʉndʉ mo mwɨkɨrɨtsya na mʉthʉnganene mo bʉgʉma hagʉma na Kirisito. 29 Na bʉshana n'ekyo, enyɨkola n'ɨyɨlwako mo kagala ko kathoka mu Kirisito. N'akagala ako, akakola n'amaka mw'ingye.
