1 Aale mubone okutaka okwo okwʼamaani oItewaiswe okweyatutakiremu. Era olwʼokutakakwe okwo okwʼamaani atweta baanabe, era kaisi dala niiye owetuli. Ekigira abantu abo abatambulira omu mpisa gyʼekyalo nandi ni batutegeera, olwakubba yena tibamutegeire. 3:1 Yok 1:12 2 Kale bainange abatake, atyanu tuli baana ba Kibbumba, waire wona era ngʼekitwalibba kikaali okumanyikana. Cooka tumaite tuti oweyaliboneka, twalifaanana ooti niiye, olwakubba twalimubona dala ngʼowaali. 3 Era buli muntu aali nʼeisuubi eeryo omu Kurisito, yeetukulyenge nʼabba mukenene omu bwomi bwʼomwoyo ngʼoKurisito owaali omukenene.

4 Era buli eyeeyongera okukola ekibbikibbi, abba ajeemeire oKibbumba, olwakubba ekibbikibbi niibwo obujeemu. 5 Neye mukimaite muti oKurisito yaizire kutoolawo omusango gwʼekibbikibbi, era nga mwiye mpaamu kikole ekibbikibbi. 3:5 Yok 1:29 6 Buli muntu abba omu nkolagana naye, tiyeeyongera kukola kibbikibbi. Era buli eyeeyongera okukola ekibbikibbi, oyo abba tategeerangaku ooba tamanyangaku oKurisito.

7 Kale inywe omuli ooti baana abatake, timuganyanga muntu yenayena okubagotesya. Iye oyo akola ebituukirirye, abba mutuukirirye ooti Kurisito owaali mutuukirirye. 8 Era iye oyo akola ekikole ekibbikibbi, oyo abba wa Sitaani, olwakubba okuzwera nakimo eira omu kubbumba ekyalo oSitaani mukoli wʼebikole ebibbibibbi. Nʼolwekyo iye oMwana wa Kibbumba kiyazwireku aize ajigirice ebikole bya Sitaani.

9 Cooka omuntu oyo asuuka omwana wa Kibbumba tiyeeyongeranga-bweyongeri omu bikole ebibbibibbi. Ekyo kityo olwakubba ekikula kyʼobwomi bwa Kibbumba kibba kiri omu omuntu oyo, era tayezya kweyongera kukola bikole ebibbibibbi olwakubba oKibbumba abba niiye eyamubyaire. 10 Era ekitumanyiciryaku abaana ba Kibbumba nʼaba Sitaani niikyo kinu ekiti: Buli muntu atakola ebyobutuukirirye, waire yooyo atataka owoluganda, iye oyo abba timwana wa Kibbumba.

11 Nʼolwekyo, obukwenda obumwasunire okuzwera nakimo owemwaikiriirye niibwo bunu obuti: Tuteekwa okutakangananga. 3:11 Yok 13:34 12 Era timubbanga ooti Kaini, iye oyo eyabbaire owa Sitaani, era nʼaita omugandawe. Neye ekyo kyazwire kuuki? Yamwitire olwakubba ebikole ebibye iye oKaini byabbaire bibbibibbi, kaisi ebya mugandawe nga ibyo bisa. 3:12 Nta 4:8

13 Kale boluganda, timwewunyanga singa abantu bʼoku kyalo ibo owebabacaawanga. 14 Cooka iswe tumaite tuti twazwire omu kufa, ni twingira omu bwomi olwakubba tutaka aboluganda. Era iye oyo abula okutaka abba akaali ali mu kufa. 3:14 Yok 5:24 15 Kale nabuli muntu acaawa omwinaye, abba mwiti, kaisi aate nga mumaite muti mpaawo mwiti ali nʼobwomi obutawaawo omunda mwiye.

16 Era ekitutegeereraku okutaka niikyo kinu ekiti: OYesu Kurisito yawaireyo obwomibwe okulwaiswe. Kale swena tuteekwa okuwaayo obwomi bwaiswe oku lwʼaboluganda. 17 Era singa omuntu abba nʼebyobusuni ebyʼoku kyalo kunu kaisi nʼamanya owoluganda ngʼali omu kudamba neye nandi nʼamubbeeraku, omuntu oyo ayezya atya okubba nʼokutaka oKibbumba?

18 Kale inywe omuli ooti baana abatake, tuleke okutumulanga-butumuli kyonkani tuti tuli nʼokutaka, neye tukolenge nʼebikole ebiraga biti mazima tuli nakwo. 19 Awo oolwo omu ngeri eyo, niikwo oku twategeereraku tuti tuli nʼamazima ga Kibbumba, era nʼokugumya emyoyo gyaiswe omu maisoge, 20 singa owegibba gitulumiriza. Ekyo kityo olwakubba oKibbumba iye akiraku ino emyoyo gyaiswe okumanya, era iye amaite nabuli kintu.

21 Kale bainange abatake, singa emyoyo gyaiswe owegibba giti tigitulumiriza, tubba bagumu omu kusaba oKibbumba, 22 era ni tusuna nabuli kitumusaba, olwakubba tukwata ebiragirobye, era ni tukola ebyasiima. 23 Era ekiragirokye niikyo kinu ekiti: Okwikiririrya omu liina lyʼoMwanawe oYesu Kurisito, era nʼokutakangananga ngʼoKurisito oweyatulagiire. 3:23 Yok 13:34; 15:12,17 24 Kale bonabona abakwata ebiragiro bya Kibbumba babba nʼenkolagana naye era yena abba bumo nabo. Era ekitutegeereraku tuti ali omu myoyo gyaiswe niikyo kinu ekiti: Tukimanyicirya ku Mwoyowe oguyatuwaire.
