Maraya Mukuru Aherekanwa
Umumarayika yereka Yohani umugore yambaye umuhengeri, yasinze amaraso y'ivyabona vya Yesu, yicaye ku gikoko gitukura cane. Yohani aratangara; umumarayika amusigurira imitwe n'amahembe. Amaherezo igikoko n'abami baco baramuhindukirira bakamuturira, bakarangura umugambi wa Data wacu.
17 1Umwe muri ba bamarayika indwi bari bafise ibibumbe indwi araza arambwira ati: “Ingo, nkwereke urubanza rwo gucira maraya mukuru, uwo yicara ku mazi menshi. 2Abami bo mw’isi baramusambanye, kandi abantu bo mw’isi baraborerwa n’umuvinyu w’ubushakanyi bwiwe.” 3Aca anjana mu Mpwemu ansohoza mu bugaragwa, aho nabonye umugore yicaye ku gikoko gitukura, cari ciziritseko amazina yo gutuka Imana, gifise imitwe indwi n’amahembe cumi. 4Umugore yari yambaye impuzu z’umuyugubwe n’umutuku, yari yimijije inzahabu n’amabuye y’igiciro n’imaragarita, afashe mu kuboko kwiwe igikombe c’inzahabu cuzuye ibintu biteye ishishi n’imyanda y’ubushakanyi bwiwe. 5Ku ruhanga rwiwe hari handitseko izina, ibanga ngo: “Babuloni mukuru, nyina w’abamaraya n’uw’ibintu biteye ishishi vyo mw’isi.”
6Nabonye uwo mugore yaborewe n’amaraso y’abera, amaraso y’ivyabona vya Yesu. Nhamubona, ndatangara cane.
7Umumarayika arambaza ati: “Ni kuki utangaye? Ndakubwira ibanga ry’uyo mugore n’iry’ico gikoko kimutwaye, ca gifise imitwe indwi n’amahembe cumi. 8Ico gikoko wabonye cahoraho, none nticakiriho, ariko kigira kiduge kiva mu rwobo rutagira amaherezo, hanyuma kije kuronderwa. Ab’isi, abo amazina yabo atandikiwe mu gitabu c’ubugingo kuva isi yaremwa, bazotangara babonye ico gikoko, kuko cahoraho, ubu nticakiriho, ariko kizogaruka.
9Ivyo bisaba umuzirikanyi w’ubwenge: iyo mitwe indwi ni imisozi indwi uwo mugore yicarako, kandi ni abami indwi. 10Batanu baraguye, umwe arahari, uwundi ntarashika; niyaza, ategerezwa kumarayo akanya gato. 11Ico gikoko cahoraho none kikaba kitakiriho, na co nyene ni ic’umunani, kandi kimwe muri bya birindwi, gije kuronderwa. 12Ya mahembe cumi wabonye ni abami cumi batarahabwa ubwami, mugabo bazohabwa ubukuru nk’abami isaha imwe hamwe n’ico gikoko. 13Abo bafise umutima umwe, kandi bazoha ico gikoko ububasha n’ubukuru bwabo.
14Bazorwanya Umwagazi w’intama, nayo Umwagazi w’intama azobatsinda, kuko ari we Mwami w’abami kandi Umwami w’abami, na bamwe bari kumwe na we ni abahamagawe, abatowe, abizigirwa.” 15Umumarayika arambwira ati: “Ayo mazi wabonye, aho maraya yicaye, ni amoko, n’amasinzi, n’amahanga, n’indimi. 16Ya mahembe cumi wabonye, n’ico gikoko, bazanka maraya. Bazomusiga ari irungu kandi yambaye ubusa, barye inyama ziwe, maze bamuture umuriro. 17Kuko Data wa twese yabashize mu mitima ugushitsa umugambi wiwe, bakagira umutima umwe, bagaha ico gikoko ubwami bwabo, gushika amajambo ya Data wa twese ashitse. a a v17 N’abami bagarariza bakorera ico gikoko bashitsa umugambi wa Data wa twese. Ni we ayobora ivyabaye vyose aherekeza ku ntsinzi y’Umwagazi w’intama. 18Uwo mugore wabonye ni ca gisagara gikuru giganza abami bo mw’isi.”
