4 Mwe mufite abagaragu, mukomeze gukorera abagaragu banyu ibikorwa bikwiriye kandi bikiranuka, muzirikana ko namwe mufite Shobuja mu ijuru.+
2 Musenge ubudacogora.+ Mukomeze kuba maso musenga mushimira.+ 3 Natwe mudusabire,+ kugira ngo Imana iduhe uburyo bwo kuvuga ijambo ryayo no gutangaza ibanga ryera ryerekeye Kristo, kandi iryo banga ryera ni ryo mfungiwe.+ 4 Ibyo bizatuma ndibwiriza mu buryo bwumvikana nk’uko bikwiriye.
5 Mukomeze kugaragaza ubwenge mu byo mukorera abatari Abakristo, kandi mujye mukoresha neza igihe cyanyu.*+ 6 Amagambo yanyu ajye ahora arangwa n’ineza, ameze nkaho asize umunyu,+ kugira ngo mumenye uko mwasubiza umuntu wese.+
7 Tukiko,+ umuvandimwe wanjye nkunda, umukozi wizerwa, akaba n’umugaragu dufatanyije gukorera Umwami, azabamenyesha ibyanjye byose. 8 Impamvu itumye mwohereza, ni ukugira ngo abamenyeshe amakuru yacu kandi abahumurize. 9 Mwohereje ari kumwe na Onesimo,+ umuvandimwe wanjye nkunda kandi wizerwa wabanaga namwe. Bazabamenyesha iby’ino byose.
10 Arisitariko,+ mugenzi wanjye dufunganywe, arabasuhuza, na Mariko+ mubyara wa Barinaba, (uwo mwabwiwe ko naza iwanyu muzamwakira neza,)+ 11 na Yesu witwa Yusito, abo bakaba ari Abayahudi.* Abo ni bo bonyine dukorana umurimo wo kubwiriza Ubwami bw’Imana, kandi banyitayeho barampumuriza.* 12 Epafura+ wabanaga namwe, akaba n’umugaragu wa Kristo Yesu, arabasuhuza. Ahora abasabira ashyizeho umwete ngo amaherezo muzahagarare mushikamye, mufite ukwizera gukomeye, muzi neza mudashidikanya ibyo Imana ishaka byose. 13 Nemera ntashidikanya ko akora uko ashoboye kose ngo abakorere, yaba mwe, ab’i Lawodikiya n’ab’i Hiyerapoli.
14 Umuganga dukunda cyane Luka+ na Dema,+ barabasuhuza. 15 Munsuhurize abavandimwe b’i Lawodikiya kandi munsuhurize Nimfa n’abagize itorero bateranira mu nzu ye.+ 16 Nimumara gusoma iyi baruwa, muzayoherereze+ abo mu itorero ry’i Lawodikiya kugira ngo na bo bayisome, kandi namwe muzasome izava i Lawodikiya. 17 Nanone muzabwire Arikipo+ muti: “Ukomeze gukorana umwete umurimo Umwami yaguhaye, kugira ngo uwurangize.”
18 Njyewe Pawulo, mboherereje intashyo nanditse n’ukuboko kwanjye.+ Mukomeze kuzirikana ko ndi muri gereza.+ Imana ikomeze ibagaragarize ineza yayo ihebuje.*
