5, 6. Okufa nikimanyisa ki?

⁵ Yehova naamanya ekirikubaho omuntu ku arikufa, kandi naatugambira ngu omuntu ku arikufa, naaba atakiine magara. Okufa nikutaana n’okugira amagara. N’ahabw’ekyo omuntu ku arikufa, enyehurira ze n’ebiteekateeko bye tihaine ahandi ahu birikuza bikaguma bihuriire.a Omuntu ku arikufa naaba atarikubaasa kureeba, kuhuurira nari kuteekateeka.

Kandi taragizire ngu Laazaaro akaba ariyo naabonabona omu muriro ogutaraara, nari ngu akaba ariyo naaza kuzaarwa busya nk’omuntu nari enyamaishwa. Laazaaro akaba ari nk’ogwejegyereire kimwe. Hariho ebyahandiikirwe ebindi ebirikugyeragyeranisa okufa n’okugwejegyera.

Ruhanga naamanya ngu eizooba rimuriguryaho, amaisho gaanyu garyaiguka, naimwe mube nka Ruhanga, mumanye oburungi n’obubi.” (Okutandika 3:4-6) Sitaane akaba naayenda kureetera Haawa kuteekateeka ngu naabaasa kwecweramu ekibi n’ekirungi. Kandi Sitaane akababeiha aha bikwatiraine n’ebyabaire nibiija kuruga omu kurya aha kijuma.

Eki kikaba nikimanyisa ngu Adamu akaba naija kugaruka abe omucuucu nk’obu yaabaire atakahangirwe. (Okutandika 2:7) Adamu ku yaasiisire, akafa kandi akaba atakiriho.
