Ibyaha by’ibikomangoma n’iby’abahanuzi babo
1 Maze ndavuga nti “Nimwumve batware ba Yakobo, namwe bacamanza b’inzu ya Isirayeli. Mbese si ibyanyu kumenya imanza zitabera?
2 Yemwe abanga ibyiza mugakunda ibibi, mugashishimura uruhu ku bantu banjye, mugakuraho inyama ku magufwa yabo,
3 kandi mukarya inyama z’ubwoko bwanjye, mukabunaho uruhu, mukabamenagura n’amagufwa, ndetse mukabicoca nk’ibyo bashyira mu nkono, nk’inyama zijya mu nkono ivuga.”
4 Ni bwo bazatakira Uwiteka ariko ntazabasubiza, ni ukuri icyo gihe azabima amaso, abihwanye n’inabi bakoze mu mirimo yabo yose.
5 Ibi ni byo Uwiteka avuga ku bahanuzi bayobya ubwoko bwanjye, batega akanwa kabo kugira ngo babuhanurire bati “Ni amahoro”, kandi utagize icyo ashyira mu kanwa kabo bitegura kumurwanya.
6 Ni cyo gituma hazababera mu ijoro kugira ngo mutagira icyo mwerekwa, kandi hazababera umwijima kugira ngo mudahanura, kandi izuba rizarengera ku bahanuzi n’amanywa azababera ubwire.
7 Abamenyi bazagira isoni n’abapfumu bazashoberwa, ni ukuri bose bazifata ku munwa, kuko ari nta gisubizo kivuye ku Mana.
8 Ariko jyeweho nuzuye imbaraga n’imanza zitabera n’ubutwari, mbihawe n’Umwuka w’Uwiteka kugira ngo menyeshe Yakobo igicumuro cye, na Isirayeli icyaha cye.
9 Nimwumve ibi batware b’inzu ya Yakobo n’abacamanza b’inzu ya Isirayeli, mwanga imanza zitabera mukagoreka ibitunganye byose.
10 Bubakishije i Siyoni amaraso bavushije, n’i Yerusalemu bakahubakisha gukiranirwa.
11 Abatware baho bacira imanza impongano, n’abatambyi baho bigishiriza ibihembo, n’abahanuzi baho baragurira ingemu, nyamara bisunga Uwiteka bakavuga bati “Mbese Uwiteka ntari muri twe? Nta kibi kizatuzaho.”
12 Ni cyo gituma i Siyoni hazahingwa nk’umurima ari mwe hazize, n’i Yerusalemu hazaba ibirundo by’amazu, n’umusozi wubatsweho urusengero hazaba nk’aharengeye h’ishyamba.
