Ariko ntumwiyereke ataramara kurya no kunywa. 4 Namara kuryama, ushakishe aho aryamye. Uze kumwegera, umworosore ibirenge maze uryame. Ari bukubwire icyo ugomba gukora.”
5 Rusi aramusubiza ati: “Ibyo umbwiye byose ndabikora.” 6 Nuko aramanuka ajya ku mbuga bahuriraho imyaka, akora ibyo nyirabukwe* yari yamubwiye byose. 7 Hagati aho Bowazi yarariye, aranywa, aranezerwa. Hanyuma ajya kuryama iruhande rw’ahari harunze ingano. Nyuma yaho, Rusi aza buhoro buhoro yorosora ibirenge bya Bowazi maze araryama. 8 Bigeze mu gicuku, uwo mugabo atangira gutitira, nuko yegutse abona umugore uryamye ku birenge bye. 9 Bowazi aramubaza ati: “Uri nde?” Rusi aramusubiza ati: “Ndi Rusi umuja wawe. Undinde* njye umuja wawe, kuko uri umucunguzi* wacu.”+ 10 Bowazi aravuga ati: “Yehova aguhe umugisha mukobwa wanjye. Urukundo rudahemuka ugaragaje ubu ruruta urwo wagaragaje mbere,+ kuko utagiye gushaka umugabo ukiri umusore, w’umukene cyangwa w’umukire. 11 Humura mukobwa wanjye. Ibyo uvuze byose nzabigukorera,+ kuko abantu bose muri uyu mujyi bazi ko uri umugore uhebuje. 12 Nubwo ndi umucunguzi wanyu,+ hari undi mucunguzi mufitanye isano ya hafi kundusha.+ 13 Rara hano iri joro, mu gitondo uwo mucunguzi nagucungura, biraba ari byiza.+ Ariko nadashaka kugucungura, ndahiriye imbere ya Yehova ko njye ubwanjye ndi bugucungure. Komeza uryame ugeze mu gitondo.”

Hanyuma Bowazi aravuga ati: “Hatagira umuntu umenya ko hari umugore waje ku mbuga bahuriraho imyaka.” 15 Bowazi aramubwira ati: “Zana uwo mwitero uwurambure.” Rusi arawurambura, Bowazi amushyiriramo ibiro 25* by’ingano, arazimukorera. Hanyuma Bowazi ajya mu mujyi.
