3. Yohani atubwira ko ari ibiki bigiye gushikira Shetani?

³ Ni ibiki none biraririye Shetani ubwiwe n’amadayimoni yiwe? Yohani atwiganira ati: “Hanyuma mbona umumarayika amanuka ava mw’ijuru afise urupfunguruzo rw’inyenga be n’ikinyororo kinini mu minwe. Maze acakira ca gisato, ya nzoka yo mu ntango, ari we Mubesheranyi na Shetani, arakiboha kumara imyaka igihumbi. Aca akiraririza mu nyenga, arayugara, ayishirako ikimenyetso hejuru yaco, kugira nticongere kuzimiza amahanga gushika iyo myaka igihumbi iheze. Inyuma y’ivyo kibwirizwa kurekurwa igihe gitoyi.”—Ivyahishuwe 20:1-3.

5. Wa mumarayika w’inyenga akorera iki Shetani, kandi kubera iki?

⁵ Igihe ca gisato c’ibara ry’umuriro cirukanwa mw’ijuru, cadondowe ko ari “ya nzoka yo mu ntango, iyitwa Mubesheranyi na Shetani, umwe azimiza isi yose.” (Ivyahishuwe 12:3, 9) Ubu na ho, igihe kigomba gifatwe ngo gitabwe mu nyenga, gisubiye kudondorwa ko ari “ca gisato, ya nzoka yo mu ntango, ari we Mubesheranyi na Shetani.” Uwo karuhariwe mu bwicanyi, mu buhendanyi, mu kwambikana ibara no mu kurwanya Imana, arabohwa akararirizwa “mu nyenga,” igaca yugarwa igashirwako ikimenyetso “kugira nti[y]ongere kuzimiza amahanga.” Shetani amara imyaka igihumbi muri iyo nyenga, muri ico gihe akaba ata kosho azoba afise ku bantu nka kurya nyene kw’imbohe iri mu gasho. Uwo mumarayika w’inyenga arigizayo Shetani ku buryo adasubira na gato kubangamira bwa Bwami bugororotse. Ese ukuntu abantu bazokwiruhutsa!

7. (a) Shetani n’amadayimoni yiwe bazoba bamerewe gute mu nyenga, kandi tubibwirwa n’iki? (b) Ukuzimu n’inyenga vyoba ari bimwe? (Raba akajambo k’epfo.)

⁷ Shetani n’amadayimoni yiwe hoba hari ico bazoshobora gukora bari mu nyenga? Ibuka ca gikoko c’ibara ry’agahama gifise imitwe indwi, kimwe “cariho, mugabo [kita]riho, yamara kigira kiduge kive mu nyenga.” (Ivyahishuwe 17:8) Igihe cari mu nyenga, ‘nticari kikiriho.’ Nta co cakora kandi nticacaruka, akaba ari nk’aho cari capfuye. Muri ubwo buryo nyene, intumwa Paulo yavuze ku vyerekeye Yezu ati: “‘Ni nde azomanuka mu nyenga?’, ni ukuvuga, kugira adugane Kristu amukuye mu bapfuye.” (Abaroma 10:7) Igihe Yezu yari mu nyenga, yari yapfuye.a Birumvikana rero dushitse ku ciyumviro c’uko Shetani n’amadayimoni yiwe bazoba bameze nk’abapfuye, ata co bashoboye gukora muri iyo myaka igihumbi bazomara mu nyenga. Mbega inkuru nziza ku bantu bakunda ubugororotsi!
