² N'uko ndagamba, imana yataye ubwoko bwayo ? Reka da. kuko nanje ndi um Israeli, nkomoka kuri abrahamu, m'umuryango wa benyamini. ¹ Imana ntabwo yataye ubwoko bwayo, bwo yamenye kuva mbere. Ntabwo muzi ibyanditswe bivuga kuri Eliya uburyo yitotombye, imbere y'Imana kubera Israeli ? ³ Umwami, yishe abahanuzi bawe bose, bakarimbura ibicaniro; ni njewe usigaye, kandi nanje bashaka kunyica. ⁴ None n'ikihe gisubizo Imana yamuhaye ? Nisigiye abagabo ibihumbi birindwi batigeze bapfukama imbere ya Baali. ⁵ Kandi, buno hariho umubare go Imana yatoranije kubera ubuntu bwayo. ⁶ ariko niba ari kubwo ubuntu, ntabwo ari kubwo imirimo. Niba atari ibyo ubuntu ntabwo bwari ari bwo. ⁷ None n'iki ? Ico Israeli ishaka ntabwo yakibonye, ariko nabo Imana yatoranije bakibonye, abasigaye ntabwo bumviye. ⁸ N'ukuri, kuko byaranditswe : Imana yabahaye umwuka utagomba kwera imbuto, amaso atagomba kureba, n'amatwi gadashobora kumva. ⁹ Na Daudi aravuga ngo : ameza gabo ababera ingoyi, umutego n'igihano. ¹⁰ Bahinduke impumyi badashobora kureba; ugondamishe imigongo yabo igihe cose. ¹¹ nuko ndagamba : baraguye ubuteguka ? reka da. Ahubwo, kubera kugwa kwabo, agakiza kageze ku banyamanga, kugirango ishari ryabo rigaragare. ¹² Icakora, niba kugwa kwabo ari isoko y'umugisha gw'isi, kandi igihombo cabo kikaba isoko y'umugisha ku abanyamahanga, kweguka kwabo kuzaba gute ? ¹³ buno ndi kubwira abanyamahanga. Igihe cose ndi intumwa y'abanyamanga, nejejwe n'umurimo gwanje. ¹⁴ Ahari ngomba kugarura ishari rya bene data, kugirango bamwe bakizwe. ¹⁵ Niba gutabwa kwabo kwabageza k'ubwiyunge n'isi, bizaba bite no kwemerwa kwabo, niba atari ubuzima bwo kuva mu bapfuye ? ¹⁶ Niba imiganura y'imikati ari iy'Imana, umukati gose n'ugwe; niba umuzi gwejejwe, imitabi nayo irejejwe. ¹⁷ ariko niba imitabi yaraciwe, umutabi g'umuzabibu go mu ishamba, nkamwe, gwamaditswe ho, kandi gukunguka ubukire buvuye mu imizi. ¹⁸ Ntusuzugure imitabi. Ariko ni muyisuzugura, mumenye ko atari mwebwe mushigikira imizi, ariko, n'umuzi gubashigikiye. ¹⁹ Muzavuga ngo : Imitabi yaraciwe kugira ngo mubone uko mumadikwa ho. ²⁰ Mugambye ukuri ! N'ukubera kutizera kwanyu kwatumye gacibwa, ²¹ ariko mwahagaze neza m'ukwizera. Ntimwishime cane ahubwo mwubahe. ariko niba Imana itararetse imitabi isanzwe, mwe gutekerezako ari mwebwe izareka. Noneho murebe ko Imana ari nziza kandi ikarakara. ²³ Kandi nibataguma m'ukutizera bazagarurwa kuko Imana ishoye kubagarura. ²⁴ Kandi niba mwari mwaraciwe k'umuzabibu go mu shamba, bitandukanye na kamere yanyu mwaditswe k'umuzabibu mwiza, kubw'ibyo, ababayuda, imitabi ya kamere, bazongera kumadikwa m'umuzabibu gwabo. ³⁰ Kuko uhereye kera mwari abatubaha Imana, ariko uhereye buno mwagiriwe imbabazi kubera kutubaha kwabo. ³¹ Na none, abaqyuda ntabwo bubaha, ³² kuko namwe nabo babonye imbabazi.Kuko Imana igira abantu bose abafungwa bo kutubaha kugirango bose babone imbabazi. ³³ Ubukire bw'ubwenge n'ubumenyi bw'Imana burarenze ! Imanza ze ntabwo zihishurwa, n'inzira ze ntabwo zumvikana ! ³⁴ Ninde wamenye igitekerezo c'Umwami ? Kandi ni nde woba umujanama we ? ³⁵ Ni nde wahaye Imana ideni kugirango imurihe ? ³⁶ Kuko ibintu byose bivuye kuri kuri we byaremwe nayo kandi n'ibye. Icubahiro n'icayo igihe cose.
