Igice cya 11.

Yezu amaze guha amabwiriza abigishwa be cumi na babiri, ava aho ajya kwigisha no kwamamaza mu mijyi yabo.

Ikibazo cya Yohani Ari muri Gereza

Yohani ari muri gereza yumvise ibikorwa bya Kristo, yohereza ubutumwa akoresheje abigishwa be, aramubaza ati: “Ni wowe ugomba kuza, cyangwa se dutegereze undi?”

Yezu arabasubiza ati: “Nimugende mubwire Yohani ibyo mwumva n'ibyo mubona:

“Impumyi zirahumuka, abacumbagira baragenda, ababembe barahumanurwa, ibipfamatwi byumva, abapfuye barazurwa, kandi abakene babwirizwa Ubutumwa bwiza. Kandi hahirwa umuntu utahungabana kubera njye.”

Bagiye, Yezu atangira kubwira imbaga y'abantu iby'uwo Yohani ati: “Mwagiye mu butayu kureba iki? Urubingo ruhindaguzwa n'umuyaga? Ariko se mwagiye kureba iki? Umuntu wambaye imyenda yoroshye? Dore abambaye imyenda yoroshye baba mu ngoro z'abami. Ariko se mwagiye kureba iki? Umuhanuzi? Yego, ndababwira, uruta kure umuhanuzi. Uyu ni we byanditsweho ngo: ‘Dore ntuma intumwa yanjye imbere yawe, izagutegurira inzira yawe.’ Ndababwira nkomeje ko mu bavutse ku bagore, nta wahagurutse uruta Yohani Mubatiza; nyamara umuto mu bwami bwa Data wa twese aruta uwo. Kuva ku minsi ya Yohani Mubatiza kugeza ubu, ubwami bwa Data wa twese bukorerwa urugomo, kandi abanyarugomo barabufata ku ngufu. Kuko Abahanuzi bose n'Amategeko byahanuye kugeza kuri Yohani, kandi nimwemera kubyakira, uwo ni we Eliya wagombaga kuza. Ufite amatwi yo kumva niyumve.

Ab'iki gihe nabagereranya na nde? Bameze nk'abana bicaye mu marubanda bahamagara abandi bati: ‘Twabavuriye imyirongi, ariko ntimwabyina; twaririmbye indirimbo yo kuririra, ariko ntimwaboroga.’ Kuko Yohani yaje atarya kandi atanywa, none baravuga bati: ‘Afite ingabo ya Satani.’ Umwana w'umuntu yaje arya kandi anywa, none baravuga bati: ‘Dore umunyangesombi n'umusinzi, incuti y'abasoresha n'abanyabyaha!’ Nyamara ubwenge bwemezwa n'ibikorwa byabwo.”

Ishyano ku Mijyi Itihannye

Nuko atangira kwamagana imijyi yakoreyemo ibitangaza byinshi, kuko batihannye.

“Uzabona ishyano Korazini! Uzabona ishyano Betsayida! Kuko iyo ibitangaza byakozwe muri mwe byari byakorewe i Tiri n'i Sidoni, bari baba barihannye kera cyane bambaye imyenda y'umuhemba n'ivu. Ariko ndababwira ko ku munsi w'urubanza, ibizagera i Tiri n'i Sidoni bizaba byoroheje kuruta ibizabageraho. Nawe Kafarinawumu—ese uzazamurwa ugere mu ijuru? Uzamanurwa ugere ikuzimu. Kuko iyo ibitangaza byakozwe muri mwe byari byakorewe i Sodoma, uwo mujyi waba ukiriho n'uyu munsi. Ariko ndababwira ko ku munsi w'urubanza, ibizagera ku gihugu cya Sodoma bizaba byoroheje kuruta ibizakugeraho.”

Data Ahishurwa n'Umwana

Icyo gihe Yezu aravuga ati: “Ndagushima Data, Nyir'ijuru n'isi, kuko wahishe ibi abanyabwenge n'abafite ubushishozi, ukabihishurira impinja. Yego Data, kuko ari ko byagushimishije. Data yaranyeguriye byose. Nta uzi Umwana atari Data, kandi nta uzi Data atari Umwana, n'uwo Umwana azashaka kumuhishurira Data.

“Nimuze kuri njye, mwese abananiwe n'abaremerewe, nanjye nzabaruhura. Mwikorere ingata yanjye kandi mwige kuri njye, kuko ndi umugwaneza kandi nicisha bugufi mu mutima, namwe muzaruhukira mu mitima yanyu. Kuko ingata yanjye yoroshye, n'umutwaro wanjye woroheje.”
