Nimureke kwifatanya n’abantu bo mu bihugu bibakikije kandi mwirukane aba bagore.”+ 12 Abari aho bose bavuga mu ijwi ryumvikana cyane bati: “Ibyo uvuze byose tuzabikora nk’uko ubivuze. 13 Ariko dore abantu ni benshi kandi ni igihe cy’imvura. Ntidushobora guhagarara hanze kandi iki kibazo nticyakemuka mu munsi umwe cyangwa ibiri, kuko twahemukiye Imana cyane. 14 None rero, turakwinginze ngo ureke abatware bacu baduhagararire+ kandi abantu bose bo mu mijyi yacu bashatse abagore b’abanyamahanga, bahabwe igihe bazajya bazira bazanye n’abayobora Abisirayeli n’abacamanza ba buri mujyi kugira ngo Imana yacu idakomeza kuturakarira.”
