36 Ijambo ry’ubutumwa bwiza bw’amahoro Imana yatumye ku bana ba Isirayeli ivugishije Yesu, ari we Mwami wa bose,
37 iryo jambo murarizi ryamamaye i Yudaya hose, rihereye i Galilaya hanyuma y’umubatizo Yohana yabwirizaga,
38 ni irya Yesu w’i Nazareti, uko Imana yamusutseho Umwuka Wera n’imbaraga, akagenda agirira abantu neza, agakiza abo Satani atwaza igitugu, kuko Imana yari iri kumwe na we.
39 Natwe turi abagabo bo guhamya ibyo yakoreye mu gihugu cy’Abayuda byose n’i Yerusalemu: uwo bamwicishije kumubamba ku giti,
40 ariko Imana imuzura ku munsi wa gatatu, imwerekana ku mugaragaro.
41 Icyakora ntiyamweretse abantu bose, ahubwo yamweretse abagabo yatoranije bitari byaba, ni twebwe abasangiraga na we amaze kuzuka.
42 Adutegeka kubwiriza abantu no guhamya ko ari we Imana yategetse kuba Umucamanza w’abazima n’uw’abapfuye.
43 Abahanuzi bose baramuhamije, bavuga yuko umwizera wese azababarirwa ibyaha ku bw’izina rye.”
