31 Mu mwaka wa 11, mu kwezi kwa gatatu, ku itariki ya mbere, Yehova yongeye kumbwira ati: 2 “Mwana w’umuntu we, bwira Farawo umwami wa Egiputa n’abantu be benshi+ uti:
‘Ni nde ukomeye nkawe?
3 Habayeho Umwashuri, ari we giti cy’isederi cyo muri Libani,
Gifite amashami meza atanga igicucu kandi cyari kirekire cyane.
Umutwe wacyo wageraga mu bicu.
4 Amazi menshi yatumye gikura kiba kinini; amazi yo hasi cyane mu butaka yatumye gikura kiba kirekire.
Aho cyari giteye hari imigezi impande zose.
Imigende y’iyo migezi yuhiraga ibiti byose byo mu gasozi.
5 Ni yo mpamvu cyakuze kikaba kirekire kuruta ibindi biti byose byo mu gasozi.
Amashami yacyo yakomeje kuba menshi, akomeza kuba maremare
Bitewe n’amazi menshi yari mu migezi yaho.
6 Inyoni zo mu kirere zose zaritse mu mashami yacyo;
Inyamaswa zo mu gasozi zose zabyariye munsi y’amashami yacyo
Kandi amahanga atuwe n’abantu benshi yose, yiberaga mu gicucu cyayo.
7 Icyo giti cyabaye cyiza cyane kuko cyakuze kikagira amashami maremare,
Bitewe n’uko imizi yacyo yageraga hasi mu mazi menshi.
8 Nta kindi giti cy’isederi cyo mu busitani bw’Imana+ cyari kimeze nka cyo.
Nta giti cy’umuberoshi cyigeze kigira amashami nk’ayacyo
Kandi ibiti by’imyarumoni* ntibyigeze bigira amashami nk’ayacyo.
Nta kindi giti cyo mu busitani bw’Imana cyagize ubwiza nk’ubwacyo.
9 Nakigize cyiza kigira amababi menshi,
Maze ibindi biti byose byo muri Edeni, mu busitani bw’Imana y’ukuri, bikigirira ishyari.’
10 “Ni yo mpamvu Umwami w’Ikirenga Yehova avuga ati: ‘kubera ko cyabaye kirekire cyane* umutwe wacyo ukagera mu bicu kandi umutima wacyo ukishyira hejuru bitewe n’uburebure bwacyo, 11 nzagiha umutegetsi ukomeye w’ibihugu.+ Azakirwanya byanze bikunze kandi nzacyanga kubera ibibi byacyo. 12 Abanyamahanga b’abagome kuruta abandi bazagitema kandi bazagisiga ku misozi, amababi yacyo agwe mu bibaya byose n’amashami yacyo avunagurikire mu migezi yose yo mu gihugu.+ Abantu bose bo ku isi bazava munsi y’igicucu cyacyo bigendere. 13 Inyoni zo mu kirere zose zizibera kuri icyo giti cyaguye n’inyamaswa zose zo mu gasozi zibere mu mashami yacyo.+ 14 Nibigenda bityo, nta giti cyatewe hafi y’amazi kizakura ngo kibe kirekire cyane, cyangwa ngo umutwe wacyo ugere mu bicu kandi nta giti cyuhiwe amazi ahagije, kizagira uburebure bugera mu bicu. Ibiti byose bizapfa byanze bikunze. Bizahambwa mu butaka kimwe n’abantu bapfuye.’
15 “Umwami w’Ikirenga Yehova aravuga ati: ‘umunsi kizamanuka kijya mu Mva,* nzatuma habaho icyunamo. Nzatwikira amazi yo hasi cyane kandi mpagarike imigezi kugira ngo amazi adakomeza gutemba ari menshi. Nzateza umwijima muri Libani bitewe na cyo kandi ibiti byose byo mu gasozi bizuma. 16 Nzatuma amahanga atigita bitewe n’urusaku rwo kugwa kwacyo, igihe nzakimanura mu Mva* hamwe n’abantu bose bamanuka bajya muri rwa rwobo* kandi ibiti byose byo muri Edeni,+ ibiti by’indobanure kandi byiza cyane kuruta ibindi byo muri Libani, ibiti byose byuhiwe neza, bizahumurizwa mu gihugu cy’ikuzimu. 17 Byamanukanye na we* mu Mva, bisanga abishwe n’inkota+ n’abari bamushyigikiye* babaga mu gicucu cy’amahanga.’+
18 ‘None se mu biti byo muri Edeni, ni ikihe cyigeze kigira ikuzo kandi kigakomera nkawe?+ Ariko uzamanuranwa n’ibiti byo muri Edeni ujye mu gihugu cy’ikuzimu. Uzaryama mu batarakebwe bishwe n’inkota. Ibyo ni byo bizaba kuri Farawo n’abantu be bose.’ Ni ko Umwami w’Ikirenga Yehova avuga.”
