Irutaho Ibindi Byose
Buri mpano bapiganirwa — indimi, guhanura, ubumenyi, kwizera kwimura imisozi, ndetse no gutanga ibyo utunze byose — nta cyo bimaze udafite urukundo. Urukundo rurihangana, ntirugira inzika y'ibibi birukorewe, kandi rurama impano zose, zo zishiraho igihe tuzabonana amaso ku maso.
13 1Iyo mvuga indimi z'abantu n'iz'abamarayika, ariko nkaba ntagire urukundo, mba meze nk'umuringa uvuga urusaku, cyangwa nk'inzogera ihinda. 2Iyo mba nshobora guhanura, nkumva amabanga yose n'ubumenyi bwose, kandi nkagira kwizera kose kugeza n'aho nimura imisozi, ariko nkaba ntagire urukundo, nta cyo mba ndi cyo. 3Iyo ntanga ibyo ntunze byose, ndetse nkanatanga umubiri wanjye kugira ngo nirate, ariko nkaba ntagire urukundo, nta cyo mbyungukiramo.
4Urukundo rurihangana, rugira neza. Ntirugira ishyari, ntirwirata, ntirwishyira hejuru. 5Ntirugira imico mibi, ntirushaka inyungu zarwo, ntirwihutira kurakara, ntirugira inzika y'ibibi birukorewe. 6Urukundo ntirwishimira gukiranirwa, ahubwo rwishimana n'ukuri. 7Rurengera byose, rwiringira byose, rugira icyizere muri byose, rwihanganira byose.
8Urukundo ntirwigera rushira. Ariko guhanura kuzashiraho, indimi zizahagarara, n'ubumenyi buzashiraho. 9Kuko tuzi igice, kandi duhanura igice, 10ariko igihe ibyuzuye bizaza, ibyo igice bizashiraho. 11Igihe nari umwana, navugaga nk'umwana, nibwiraga nk'umwana, natekerezaga nk'umwana. Ariko ubwo nabaye umuntu mukuru, nareka ibya kibwana. 12Kuko ubu tubona ishusho yijimye mu ndorerwamo; naho icyo gihe tuzabonana imbonankubone. Ubu nzi igice; naho icyo gihe nzamenya byuzuye, nk'uko nanjye menyekanye byuzuye. 13None rero ibi bitatu birahoraho: kwizera, icyizere, n'urukundo. Ariko ikirutaho muri byo ni urukundo.
