6 Ariko si nk’aho ijambo ry’Imana ryananiwe+. Kuko abakomoka kuri Isirayeli bose atari bo “Isirayeli” vy’ukuri+. 7 Eka mbere bose si abana ngo ni uko ari uruvyaro* rwa Aburahamu+, ahubwo vyanditswe ngo: “Ikizokwitwa ‘uruvyaro rwawe’ kizoboneka biciye kuri Izahaki+.” 8 Ni ukuvuga ko abana b’umubiri+ atari bo bana b’Imana vy’ukuri+, ahubwo abana b’umuhango+ ni bo baharurwa nk’uruvyaro. 9 Kuko ijambo ry’umuhango ryavuga uku: “Nk’aya mango nzoza, kandi Sara azoronka umuhungu+.” 10 Yamara si ico gihe conyene, mugabo n’igihe Rebeka yasama inda y’amahasa+ kuri wa mugabo umwe, ari we Izahaki sogokuruza wacu: 11 kuko igihe batari bwavuke canke ngo bakore ikintu na kimwe ciza canke c’agahomerabunwa+, kugira ngo intumbero y’Imana ku bijanye n’itorwa ryabo igume itavana n’ibikorwa, ahubwo igume ivana n’Umwe ahamagara+, 12 Rebeka yabwiwe ati: “Bukuru azoba umushumba wa Butoyi+.” 13 Nk’uko vyanditswe ngo: “Nakunze Yakobo, mugabo Esawu naramwanse+.”
14 Tuvuge iki none? Mbega Imana irarenganya+? Ntibikabe! 15 Kuko ibwira Musa iti: “Nzogirira imbabazi uwo nshatse kugirira imbabazi, kandi nzogirira impuhwe uwo nshatse kugirira impuhwe+.” 16 Nuko rero, ntibiva ku wushaka canke ku wiruka, ahubwo biva ku Mana+, ari yo igira imbabazi+. 17 Kuko Icanditswe kibwira Farawo giti: “Iki nyene ni co catumye nkureka: ni ukugira ngo nerekanire kuri wewe ububasha bwanje, no kugira ngo izina ryanje ryamamare mw’isi yose+.” 18 Nuko rero, uwo ishaka iramugirira imbabazi+, mugabo uwo ishaka iramureka agacika intabarirwa+.
19 Wombwira rero uti: “Ni kubera iki ibandanya gutora amahinyu? Kuko ni nde ahangara ukugomba kwayo gutomoye+?” 20 Ewe muntu+, uri nde none ngo wishure nabi Imana+? Mbega icabumbwe cobwira uwakibumvye ngo: “Kubera iki wambumvye gutya+?” 21 Ngw’iki? Mbega umubumvyi+ ntafise ububasha kw’ibumba bwo gukora mu kibumbe kimwe c’ibumba icombo gikoreshwa ibiteye iteka, n’ikindi gikoreshwa ibiteye isoni+? 22 Nimba rero Imana, naho igomba kwerekana uburake bwayo no kumenyekanisha ububasha bwayo yarihanganiye n’ukwiyumanganya kwinshi ivyombo vy’uburake vyagizwe ibibereye gutikizwa+ 23 kugira ngo imenyekanishe ubutunzi+ bw’ubuninahazwa bwayo ku vyombo+ vy’imbabazi, ivyo yateguye imbere y’igihe ku bw’ubuninahazwa+, 24 ni ukuvuga twebwe, abo yahamagaye atari mu Bayuda gusa ariko no mu mahanga+, bitwaye iki? 25 Ni nk’uko ibivuga kandi muri Hoseya iti: “Abatari abantu banje+ nzobita ‘abantu banje,’ n’umugore atakundwa ndamwite ‘umukundwa+’; 26 kandi ahantu babwiriwe ngo: ‘Ntimuri abantu banje,’ ni ho bazokwitirwa ‘abana b’Imana nzima+.’”
27 Vyongeye, Yesaya arasemerera ku vyerekeye Isirayeli ati: “Naho igitigiri ca bene Isirayeli coba nk’umusenyi w’ikiyaga+, amasigarira ni yo azokizwa+. 28 Kuko Yehova azogira ico abaza kw’isi, abisozere kandi abitebutse+.” 29 Kandi, nk’uko Yesaya yari yarabivuze kera ati: “Iyo Yehova nyen’ingabo*+ atadusigira uruvyaro, tuba twaracitse nka Sodomu, kandi tuba twaragizwe nka Gomora+.”

Yuko abanyamahanga, naho badakurikirana ubugororotsi, bahambije ubugororotsi+, bwa bugororotsi buva ku kwizera+; 31 mugabo yuko Isirayeli, naho ikurikirana itegeko ry’ubugororotsi, itashikiriye iryo tegeko+. 32 Kubera iki? Kubera itarikurikiranye biciye mu kwizera, mugabo nk’aho vyaciye mu bikorwa+. Batsitaye kuri rya “buye ritsitaza+”; 33 nk’uko vyanditswe ngo: “Ehe ndiko nshira i Siyoni ibuye+ ritsitaza n’igitandara kigwisha+, mugabo uwushingira ukwizera kwiwe kuri ryo ntazoteterwa+.”
