Ico yasavye abicishije ku bavugishwamana ba kera kwari ubutungane nyakuri, ubuntu, no kudahahamira umupfakazi, impfuvyi, umunyamahanga canke umukene.
7 1Mu mwaka ugira kane w’umwami Dariyo, ijambo rya Data wa twese ryashikiye Zekariya ku musi ugira kane w’ukwezi kugira cenda, ari kwo Kisilevu. 2Abantu b’i Beteli barungitse Sharezeri na Regemu-meleki n’abantu babo kugira ngo batakambire imbere ya Data wa twese, 3no kubaza abaherezi bo mu nzu ya Data w’ingabo zo mw’ijuru, n’abavugishwa, bati: “Nkwiye kurira no kwisonzesha mu kwezi kugira gatanu, nk’uko namaze kubigira muri iyi myaka myinshi?”
4Maze ijambo rya Data w’ingabo zo mw’ijuru ryanshikiye riti:
5Bwira abantu bose bo mu gihugu n’abaherezi uti: Igihe mwisonzesha mukagandara mu kwezi kugira gatanu no mu kugira indwi muri iyi myaka mirongo indwi, mbega vy’ukuri ni jewe mwisonzesheza? a a v5 Ukwisonzesha kwo mu kwezi kugira gatanu kwibukije ukuntu Babiloni yatongoye urusengero rwa Salomo; ukwisonzesha kwo mu kwezi kugira indwi kwibukije ukwicwa kwa Gedaliya, buramatari wa nyuma w’i Yuda. 6Igihe murya mukanywa, mbega si mwebwe nyene muryera kandi mukanywera?
7Mbega si yo majambo nyene Data wa twese yatangaje biciye ku bavugishwa ba kera, igihe Yeruzalemu n’ibisagara bimukikuje vyari bituje kandi birimwo amahoro, na Negebu n’imanga z’imisozi vyari bibamwo abantu?
8Maze ijambo rya Data wa twese ryashikiye Zekariya riti:
9Ivyo Data w’ingabo zo mw’ijuru avuga ni ibi: Nimucire imanza z’ukuri; mugiriranire ineza n’impuhwe. 10Ntimuhahaze umupfakazi, impfuvyi, umunyamahanga, canke umworo; kandi ntimwiyumvire mu mitima yanyu kugirira nabi bagenzi banyu.
11Mugabo baranse kwumva, bahindukije imigongo yabo n’ubugarariji, bibumba amatwi kugira ngo ntibumve. 12Bagize imitima yabo migume nk’ibuye ritoha, banka kwumva itegeko n’amajambo Data w’ingabo zo mw’ijuru yari yarungitse biciye kuri Mpwemu wiwe ku bavugishwa ba kera. Ni co gituma uburake bwinshi bwavuye kwa Data w’ingabo zo mw’ijuru.
13“Nk’uko nahamagaye bakanka kwumva, ni ko na bo bahamagaye nkanka kwumva,” ni ko Data w’ingabo zo mw’ijuru avuga. 14Narabashwiragije n’akayaga gakaze mu mahanga yose bari batazi. Igihugu casigaye ari irungu inyuma yabo, ata muntu aciramwo, aza canke agenda. Uku ni ko bahinduye igihugu ciza akarere k’irungu.
