Iminsi y’imperuka
1 Umenye neza ko mu minsi y’imperuka hazaza ibihe bikomeye.
2 Abantu bazaba bikunda, bakunda ifaranga, birata, bikuza, batuka Imana, batumvira ababyeyi. Bazaba ari indashima, batubaha Imana,
3 badakunda ababo, batagira impuhwe, babeshyerana, bahubuka. Bazaba ari abanyarugomo n’abanzi b’ibyiza,
4 abagambanyi n’ibyihebe n’abikakaza. Bazaba bakunda ibibanezeza aho gukunda Imana.
5 Bazigira nk’abubaha Imana, ariko bahinyura ububasha bitera. Abo bose ujye ubagendera kure.
6 Bamwe muri bo bakunda gusesera mu mazu, bakigarurira ingirwabagore zashenguwe n’ibyaha, zigengwa n’irari ry’uburyo butari bumwe.
7 Ni abantu bahora biga iby’Imana, ariko ntibigere bamenya ukuri kwayo.
8 Nk’uko Yane na Yamburebarwanyije Musa, ni na ko abo bantu barwanya ukuri. Ni abantu bafite ubwenge bwononekaye, kandi ukwemera Kristo kwabo kwarahinyutse.
9 Ariko rero nta ho bizabageza kuko ubupfu bwabo buzagaragarira bose, nk’uko byagenze kuri Yane na Yambure.
