Ivanjiri Matayo 3:1-17 1 Muri iyo minsi, Yohani Batisita aza abwiriza mu butayu bwa Yudeya, agira ati 2 Aravuga ati “Nimwihane kuko ubwami bwo mu ijuru buri hafi.” 3 Uwo ni we wavuzwe n'umuhanuzi Yesaya ati: “Ijwi ry'uvugira mu butayu ati 'Nimutegure inzira y'Uwiteka, mugorore inzira ze.'” 4 Uwo Yohani yari yambaye imyambaro y'ubwoya bw'ingamiya, akenyeye umukandara w'uruhu mu rukenyerero, kandi ibyokurya bye byari inzige n'ubuki bwo mu gasozi. 5 Maze i Yerusalemu n'i Yudaya yose n'akarere kose ko hafi ya Yorodani baramusanga, 6 Babatizwa na we muri Yorodani, bemeye ibyaha byabo. 7 Abonye Abafarisayo n'Abasadukayo benshi baje kubatizwa, arababwira ati “Mwa bana b'inzoka mwe, ni nde wababuriye guhunga uburakari buzaza?” 8 Nuko mwere imbuto zikwiriye kwihana. 9 Kandi ntimwibwire muti 'Dufite Aburahamu, ni we sogokuruza,' kuko ndababwira yuko Imana ishobora kubyutsa Aburahamu abana muri aya mabuye. 10 Noneho ishoka irashyizwe ku mizi y'ibiti, nuko igiti cyose kitera imbuto nziza kiratemwa, kikajugunywa mu muriro. 11 Jyeweho ndababatiza n'amazi kugira ngo mwihane, ariko uzaza nyuma yanjye arandusha imbaraga, ntakwiriye no gutwara inkweto ze: ni we uzababatirisha Umwuka Wera n'umuriro. 12 Uwo afite urusaku mu ntoki ze, azasukura imbuga ye neza, akusanye ingano ze mu kigega, ariko umurama azawutwika mu muriro utazima. 13 Hanyuma Yesu ava i Galilaya ajya kuri Yorodani kwa Yohana kugira ngo abatizwe na we. 14 Ariko Yohana aramubuza ati “Ni jye ukwiriye kubatizwa nawe, none uje aho ndi?” 15 Yesu aramusubiza ati “ Emera ko bibaho ubu, kuko ari ko bidukwiriye gusohoza gukiranuka kose.” Maze aramwemerera. 16 Yesu amaze kubatizwa, ako kanya ava mu mazi, ijuru rirakinguka, abona Umwuka w'Imana amanuka nk'inuma, amuhagararaho. 17 Nuko ijwi riva mu ijuru riti “Uyu ni Umwana wanjye nkunda cyane nishimira.” Ndababwira ukuri: mu babyawe n'abagore ntihabonetse umuntu uruta Yohana Umubatiza, ariko umuto mu bwami bwo mu ijuru aramuruta. Kuva mu gihe cya Yohana Umubatiza kugeza ubu ubwami bwo mu ijuru buratwarwa nabi, kandi abanyarugomo barabwigarurira. Matayo 11:11-12

Maze abwira abagaragu be ati “Uyu ni Yohana Umubatiza, yazutse mu bapfuye, ni cyo gituma akora ibitangaza.” Nuko uwo mugore, amaze kubwirwa na nyina, aravuga ati “Mpa umutwe wa Yohana Umubatiza hano mu mbehe.” Matayo 14:2,8 Baravuga bati: “Bamwe bavuga ko uri Yohana Umubatiza, abandi bati uri Eliya, abandi bati uri Yeremiya cyangwa umwe mu bahanuzi.” Matayo 16:14 Abigishwa basobanukirwa ko yababwiye ibya Yohana Umubatiza. Matayo 17:13 Yesu arabasubiza ati “ Ntimuzi icyo musaba. Ese mushobora kunywa ku gikombe nnyweraho, no kubatizwa na batisimu nbatizwa na yo?” Baramusubiza bati “Turabishobora.” Arababwira ati “ Muzanywa ku gikombe cyanjye koko, kandi muzabatizwa na batisimu nbatizwa na yo, ariko kwicara iburyo bwanjye n’ibumoso bwanjye si ibyanjye ngomba kubitanga, ahubwo ni ibyo Data yabiteguriye.” Matayo 20:22-23 Matayo 21:25 Batisimu ya Yohani yaturutse he? Yaturutse mu ijuru cyangwa ku bantu?' Batangira kuganira hagati yabo bati: “Nituvuga ko yaturutse mu ijuru, azatubwira ati: 'None se kuki mutamwemeye?' Matayo 28:18-20 Yesu araza arababwira ati “ Nahawe ubutware bwose mu ijuru no mu isi. Nuko mugende mwigishe amahanga yose, mubabatize mu izina rya Data wa twese n’iry’Umwana n’iry’Umwuka Wera, mubigishe kwitondera ibyo nabategetse byose, kandi dore ndi kumwe namwe iminsi yose kugeza ku mperuka y’isi. Amen.” Yohana yabatije mu butayu, abwiriza abantu batisimu yo kwihana kugira ngo bababarirwe ibyaha. Nuko igihugu cyose cya Yudaya n'ab'i Yerusalemu bose baramusanga, abatirizwa na we mu ruzi rwa Yorodani, bemeye ibyaha byabo. Jyewe nabatije amazi, ariko we azababatirisha Umwuka Wera. Muri iyo minsi, Yesu ava i Nazareti y'i Galilaya, abatirizwa na Yohana muri Yorodani. Mariko 1:45,8-9 Umwami Herode arabyumva, kuko izina rye ryari ryamamaye hose, aravuga ati “Yohana Umubatiza yazutse mu bapfuye, ni cyo gituma ibitangaza bimukoreramo.” Arasohoka abaza nyina ati “Nsabe iki?” Aramusubiza ati “Umutwe wa Yohana Umubatiza.” Ahita yinjira mu mwami vuba, asaba ati “Ndashaka ko umpa vuba aha umutwe wa Yohana Umubatiza ku isahani.” Mariko 6:14,24,25 Baramusubiza bati “Yohana Umubatiza: abandi bati “Eliya”, abandi bati “Umwe mu bahanuzi.” Mariko 8:28 Ariko Yesu arababwira ati “ Ntimuzi icyo musaba: ese mushobora kunywa ku gikombe nnyweraho, kandi mukabatizwa na batisimu nbatizwa na yo?” Baramusubiza bati “Turabishobora.” Yesu arababwira ati “ Koko muzanywa ku gikombe nnyweraho, kandi muzabatizwa na batisimu nbatizwa na yo.” Mariko 10:38-39 Umubatizo wa Yohana waturutse mu ijuru cyangwa ku bantu? Munsubize. Mariko 11:30 Uwizera akabatizwa azakizwa, ariko utizera azacirwaho iteka. Mariko 16:16 Agera mu gihugu cyose cy’uburengerazuba bwa Yorodani, abwiriza abantu batisimu yo kwihana kugira ngo bababarirwe ibyaha. Maze abwira imbaga y’abantu bari baje kubatizwa na we ati “Mwa

bana b’inzoka mwe, ni nde wababuriye ngo muhunge umujinya ugiye kuza?” Abakoresha b’imisoro na bo baraza kubatizwa baramubaza bati “Mwigisha, tugire dute?” Yohana arabasubiza ati “Ni ukuri jyeweho mbatiza n’amazi, ariko undusha imbaraga araje, ntakwiriye gupfundura umushumi w’inkweto ze: ni we uzababatirisha Umwuka Wera n’umuriro.” Nuko abantu bose babatizwa, Yesu na we amaze kubatizwa, asenga, ijuru rirakinguka, Luka 3:3,7,12,16,21 Abo bagabo bamugezeho baramubwira bati: “Yohana Umubatiza yadutumyeho ati: ‘Mbese uri Undi Ugomba kuza, cyangwa dutegereze undi?’ Ndababwira nti: ‘Mu babyawe n’abagore nta muhanuzi uruta Yohana Umubatiza, ariko umuto mu bwami bw’Imana aramuruta.’ Abantu bose bumvise ibyo, ndetse n’abakoresha b’imisoro, batsinze Imana, kuko babatijwe na Yohana. Ariko Abafarisayo n’abahanga mu by’amategeko banze inama z’Imana, kuko batabatijwe na we. Kuko Yohana Umubatiza yaje atarya umugati, atanywa divayi, kandi muravuga muti: ‘Afite dayimoni.’ Luka 7:20,28-30,33 Baramusubiza bati “Uri Yohana Umubatiza, abandi bati uri Eliya, abandi bati “Umwe mu bahanuzi ba kera yazutse.” Luka 9:19 Ariko mfite umubatizo ngomba kubatizwa, kandi mbega ukuntu mbabaye kugeza igihe uzasohorera! Luka 12:50 Umubatizo wa Yohana waturutse mu ijuru cyangwa ku bantu? Luka 20:4 Baramubaza bati “None se niba utari Kristo, cyangwa Eliya, cyangwa wa muhanuzi, ubatirisha iki?” Yohana arabasubiza ati “Jyewe mbatirisha amazi, ariko hagati yanyu hari uwo mutazi, ibyo byabereye i Betaniya hakurya ya Yorodani, aho Yohana yabatirizaga. Nanjye sinari muzi, ariko kugira ngo yerekwe Abisirayeli, ni cyo cyatumye nza mbatirisha amazi.” Ariko sinari muzi, ariko uwantumye kubatirisha amazi ni we wambwiye ati “Uwo uzabona Umwuka amanukira hejuru ye, akamugumaho, ni we ubatirisha Umwuka Wera.” Yohana 1:25-26,28,31,33 Hanyuma y'ibyo Yesu n'abigishwa be bajya mu gihugu cy'i Yudaya, amarayo iminsi ari kumwe na bo, abatiza. Yohana na we yabatirizaga muri Ayinoni hafi y'i Salimu kuko hari amazi menshi, baraza barabatizwa. Nuko basanga Yohana baramubwira bati “Mwigisha, uwari kumwe nawe hakurya ya Yorodani, uwo wahamije, dore uwo arabatiza kandi bose baza kuri we.” Yohana 3:22-23,26 Nuko Umwami Yesu amenya ko Abafarisayo bumvise ko Yesu yahinduraga kandi abatiza abigishwa benshi kurusha Yohana, (nubwo Yesu ubwe atari we wabatizaga, ahubwo yabatizaga abigishwa be), Yohana 4:1-2 Asubira hakurya ya Yorodani, aho Yohana yabatirizaga bwa mbere, agumayo.

Petero arababwira ati “Nimwihane, umuntu wese muri mwe abatizwe mu izina rya Yesu Kristo ngo mubabarirwe ibyaha byanyu, kandi muzahabwa impano y’Umwuka Wera.” Ibyakozwe n’Intumwa 2:38 Nuko abemeye ijambo rye barabatizwa, kandi uwo munsi abantu bagera ku bihumbi bitatu biyongeraho. Ibyakozwe n'Intumwa 2:41 Ariko bamaze kwemera ubutumwa bwiza bwa Filipo bw’ubwami bw’Imana n’izina rya Yesu Kristo, abagabo n’abagore barabatizwa.

Ibyakozwe n'Intumwa 8:13,16 Bakigenda, bagera ku mazi, maze inkone iramubaza iti “Dore amazi, ikimbuza kubatizwa ni iki?” Nuko ategeka ko igare rihagarara, bombi bamanuka mu mazi, Filipo n’inkone irabatiza.

Arategeka ko babatizwa mu izina ry'Umwami wacu. Hanyuma baramwinginga ngo agumeyo iminsi mike. Ibyakozwe n'Intumwa 10:37,47-48 Nibuka ijambo ry'Umwami Yesu, uko yavuze ati ' Yohana yabatije amazi, ariko mwebweho muzabatizwa n'Umwuka Wera.' Ibyakozwe n'Intumwa 11:16 Ubwo Yohana yatangiraga kwigisha ubwoko bwose bwa Isirayeli umubatizo wo kwihana mbere yuko aza. Ibyakozwe n'Intumwa 13:24 Amaze kubatizwa we n'abo mu rugo rwe, aratwinginga ati “Niba mubonye ko ndi indahemuka kuri Nyagasani, nimuze iwanjye mucumbikeyo.” Araduhata. Arajyana na bo muri iryo joro, abaha ibisebe, maze we n'abe bose bahita babatizwa. Ibyakozwe n'Intumwa 16:15,33 Kirisipo, umutware w'isinagogi, yizeye Umwami Yesu n'abo mu rugo rwe bose, kandi Abakorinto benshi bumvise baremera barabatizwa. Uwo mugabo yari yarigishijwe inzira y'Umwami Yesu, kandi yagiraga umwete mu mwuka, avuga kandi yigisha neza iby'Umwami Yesu, ariko yari azi umubatizo wa Yohana gusa. Ibyakozwe n'Intumwa 18:8,25 Arababaza ati “None se mwabatijwe mu ki?” Baramusubiza bati “Ni umubatizo wa Yohana.” Pawulo aravuga ati “Yohana yabatije umubatizo wo kwihana, abwira abantu ngo bizera uzaza nyuma ye, ari we Kristo Yesu.” Babyumvise babatizwa mu izina ry’Umwami Yesu. Ibyakozwe n’Intumwa 19:3-5 None se utegerejwe iki? Haguruka ubatizwe, wiyuhagire ibyaha byawe, wambaze izina ry'Umwami wacu. Ibyakozwe n'Intumwa 22:16

Amabaruwa Ntimuzi ko twese ababatijwe muri Yesu Kristo twabatijwe mu rupfu rwe? Nuko rero twahambanywe na we mu kubatizwa mu rupfu rwe, kugira ngo nk'uko Kristo yazuwe mu bapfuye n'ubwiza bwa Data wa twese, abe ari ko natwe tugendera mu bugingo bushya. Abaroma 6:3-4 Ese Kristo yaciwemo ibice? Pawulo yabambwe ku musaraba kubera mwe? Cyangwa mwabatijwe mu izina rya Pawulo? Ndashimira Imana ko nta n'umwe muri mwe nabatije keretse Kirisipo na Gayo, kugira ngo hatagira uvuga ko nabatije mu izina ryanjye bwite. Kandi nabatije n'abo mu rugo rwa Sitefana: kandi sinzi niba hari undi nabatije. Kuko Kristo atantumye kubatiza, ahubwo yantumye kwamamaza ubutumwa bwiza, atari mu bwenge bw'amagambo, kugira ngo umusaraba wa Kristo udahinduka ubusa. 1 Abakorinto 1:13-17 Bose babatirijwe muri Mose mu gicu no mu nyanja, 1 Abakorinto 10:2 Kuko twese twabatijwe mu Mwuka umwe ngo tube umubiri umwe, twaba Abayahudi cyangwa Abanyamahanga, twaba imbata cyangwa abigenga, kandi twese twanyweshejwe Umwuka umwe. 1 Abakorinto 12:13 Bitabaye ibyo, ababatizwa mu cyimbo cy'abapfuye bazakora iki? Kuki babatizwa mu cyimbo cy'abapfuye? 1 Abakorinto 15:29 Kuko mwese ababatijwe muri Kristo mwambaye Kristo. Abagalatiya 3:27 Umwami umwe, ukwizera kumwe, umubatizo umwe, Abefeso 4:5 Mwahambanywe na we mu mubatizo, kandi mwazukanye na we ku bwo kwizera imbaraga z'Imana yamuzuye mu bapfuye. Abakolosayi 2:12 Inyigisho z'imibatizo, no kurambikaho ibiganza, no kuzuka kw'abapfuye, no gucirwaho iteka ryose. Abaheburayo 6:2 Ni cyo kigereranyo cy'uko n'umubatizo ukiza natwe ubu (atari ugukuraho imyanda y'umubiri, ahubwo ni ukwinginga Imana mu mutima utaducira urubanza,) binyuze mu kuzuka kwa Yesu Kristo: 1 Petero 3:21
Ibitabo bya Bibiliya byatakaye Twabonye Yesu, uwo mwabambye, avugana n'abigishwa be cumi n'umwe, yicaye hagati yabo ku musozi wa Elayono, arababwira ati “Nimujye mu isi yose, mwigishe amahanga yose ubutumwa bwiza, mubabatize mu izina rya Data wa twese n'iry'Umwana n'iry'Umwuka Wera, kandi umuntu wese uzemera akabatizwa azakizwa.” Amaze kubwira abigishwa be ibyo, twamubonye azamuka ajya mu ijuru. Ubutumwa bwiza bwa Nikodemu 10:19-21 Arabasubiza ati: “Ndi ijwi ry’uvugira mu butayu, Yohani Umubatiza n’umuhanuzi w’Isumbabyose, wabanjirije kuza kwe gutegura inzira ye, kugira ngo ahe ubwoko bwe ubumenyi bw’agakiza kugira ngo bubabarirwe ibyaha.” Kandi jyewe Yohana, ubwo nabonaga Yesu aje aho ndi, ayobowe na Mwuka Wera, naravuze nti: “Dore Umwana w’Intama w’Imana, dore ukuraho ibyaha by’isi.” Namubatije mu ruzi rwa Yorodani, mbona Umwuka Wera amumanukiraho asa n’inuma, numva ijwi

riturutse mu ijuru riti: “Uyu ni Umwana wanjye nkunda cyane, nishimira.” Ubutumwa bwiza bwa Nikodemu 13:11-13 Ariko igihe umubyeyi wacu Adamu yumvise ibyo, ko Yesu yabatijwe muri Yorodani, yahamagaye umuhungu we Seti aramubwira ati “Ubwire abana bawe, ba sogokuruza n’abahanuzi, ibyo wumvise kuri Mikayeli, marayika mukuru, igihe nakoherezaga ku marembo ya Paradizo, ngo unsabe Imana ngo insuke amavuta ku mutwe igihe nari ndwaye.” Ivanjili ya Nikodemu 14:1-2 Hanyuma Kristo, Umwana w'Imana w'imbabazi nyinshi, azaza ku isi kuzura umubiri wa Adamu, kandi icyarimwe kuzura imibiri y'abapfuye, kandi naza azabatizwa muri Yorodani: Ivanjiri ya Nikodemu 14:6 Malayika mukuru Mikayeli yadutegetse cyane kujya hakurya ya Yorodani, mu gihugu cyiza kandi gikungahaye, aho hari benshi bazutse mu bapfuye hamwe natwe kugira ngo tugaragaze izuka rya Kristo. Kuko twamaze iminsi itatu gusa dusezera kuzuka mu bapfuye, twazutse kugira ngo twizihize Pasika y'Umwami wacu hamwe n'ababyeyi bacu, kandi dutange ubuhamya bwacu kuri Kristo Umwami, kandi twabatijwe mu ruzi rwera rwa Yorodani. None ubu nta muntu n'umwe ubabona. Ivanjiri ya Nikodemu 21: 4-5 Hahirwa abakomeza umubatizo wabo utunganye, kuko bazagira amahoro na Data, Umwana n'Umwuka Wera. Ibyakozwe na Pawulo na Thecla 1:18 Nyuma y’ibyo bazana izindi nyamaswa nyinshi zo mu gasozi; ariko Thecla yarahagaze arambuye amaboko ye yerekeza mu ijuru, arasenga; amaze gusenga, arahindukira abona icyobo cy’amazi, aravuga ati “Noneho igihe kirageze ngo mbatizwe.” Nuko yijugunya mu mazi, aravuga ati “Mu izina ryawe, Mwami Yesu Kristo, uyu munsi nabatijwe.” Abagore n’abantu babibonye barataka cyane bati “Wikwiroha mu mazi.” Umutegetsi ubwe arataka cyane, yibwira ko amafi (inyana zo mu nyanja) yari ameze nk’aho ariye ubwiza bwinshi. Ibyakozwe na Pawulo na Thecla 9:6-7 Tekla abimenye aramubwira ati: “Nabatijwe Pawulo, kuko ugufasha mu kwamamaza ari we wamfashije kubatiza.” Ibyakozwe na Pawulo na Tekla 10:2 None se, niba abantu nk'abo bakiranutsi badashobora kurokora abana babo ku bw'ubutungane bwabo, twakwiringira dute kwinjira mu bwami bw'Imana, keretse dukomeje umubatizo wacu wera kandi utanduye? Cyangwa ni nde uzatuburanira, keretse tubonetse ko twakoze ibitunganye kandi bitunganye? 2 Clement ku Bakorinto 3:9 Noneho ku ba mbere muri abo, byanditswe ku bwoko bwa Isirayeli ko batazahabwa umubatizo uzana kubabarirwa ibyaha, ahubwo ko bazanatangira undi utabishoboye. Ibaruwa Rusange ya Barnaba 10:2 Kuko Imana yacu Yesu Kristo yasamwe mu nda ya Mariya, wo mu rubyaro rwa Dawidi, ku bw'Umwuka Wera, nk'uko Imana yabigennye, yavutse abatizwa, kugira ngo asukure amazi, asukure ibyaha. Ibaruwa ya Ignatius ku Banyefeso 4:9 Kuko nabonye ko mufite ukwizera kutajegajega, nk'aho mwamanitswe ku musaraba w'Umwami wacu Yesu Kristo, haba mu mubiri no mu mwuka, kandi mugakomezwa mu rukundo binyuze mu maraso ya Kristo, mukemera rwose iby'Umwami wacu. Koko rero, uwo mu bwoko bwa Dawidi ku bw'umubiri, ariko Umwana w'Imana ku bw'ubushake n'imbaraga by'Imana, wabyawe n'Umwari

w'isugi, akabatizwa na Yohana, kugira ngo gukiranuka kose kunyure muri we. Ibaruwa ya Ignatius yandikiye Abanyasimirina 1:3-4 Ntibyemewe n'amategeko nta musenyeri, nta kubatiza cyangwa guhimbaza Ifunguro ryera; ariko icyo ashaka cyose, ni cyo gishimisha Imana, kugira ngo icyo gikorwa cyose kibe cyiza kandi gikorwe neza. Ibaruwa ya Ignatius ku Basirimira 3:5 Nimushimishe uwo murwana, kandi mugahabwa umushahara wanyu. Ntihakagire n'umwe muri mwe uboneka nk'uwacitse intege; ahubwo umubatizo wanyu ugumeho nk'amaboko yanyu, ukwizera kwanyu nk'ingofero yanyu, urukundo rwanyu nk'icumu ryanyu, kwihangana kwanyu nk'intwaro zanyu zose. Ibaruwa ya Ignatius kuri Polycarp 2:14 Kandi se abandi baguye ku mazi ntibashobore kwibira mu mazi ni bande? Ni abumvise ijambo, bakemera kubatizwa mu izina ry'Umwami; ariko batekereje ku kwera gukomeye ukuri gusaba, bisubira inyuma, bongera gukurikiza irari ryabo ribi. Nguko uko yasoje ibisobanuro by'umunara. 1 Igitabo cy'Umushumba wa Herma (Iyerekwa) 3:75-77 Naramubwiye nti: “Ndetse numvise abarimu bamwe na bamwe bavuga ko nta kundi kwihana gushoboka uretse kubatizwa; iyo tugiye mu mazi, tukabona imbabazi z’ibyaha byacu, kandi ko nyuma y’ibyo, tutazongera gukora icyaha ukundi, ahubwo tugomba kubaho mu butungane.” 2 Igitabo cy’Umushumba wa Hermas (Amategeko) 4:18 Kuko mbere y'uko umuntu yakirwa izina ry'Umwana w'Imana, aba yaragenewe urupfu; ariko iyo akiriye icyo kimenyetso, aba yarabohowe mu rupfu, agahabwa ubugingo. Noneho icyo kimenyetso ni amazi y'umubatizo, aho abantu bajya mu rupfu, ariko bakazamuka bagahabwa ubugingo. 3 Igitabo cy'Umushumba wa Herma (Ibigereranyo) 9: 153-154 Ibaruwa ya Herode yandikiye Pilato Guverineri Herode kuri Ponsiyo Pilato Guverineri wa Yerusalemu: Amahoro. Mfite ubwoba bwinshi. Ndakwandikiye ibi bintu kugira ngo nubyumva ugire agahinda kubera njye. Kuko nk'uko umukobwa wanjye Herodiya, nkunda cyane, yakiniraga ku kidendezi cy'amazi cyari gifite urubura, cyamenetse munsi ye, umubiri we wose uragwa, umutwe we uracibwa uguma hejuru y'urubura. Dore nyina yari afashe umutwe we ku mavi mu bibero bye, kandi inzu yanjye yose iri mu gahinda gakomeye. Kuko nanjye, ubwo numvaga iby'uwo muntu Yesu, nifuje kuza aho uri, kugira ngo murebe wenyine, nyumve ijambo rye, ryaba ari nk'iry'abana b'abantu. Kandi ni ukuri ko kubera ibibi byinshi nakoreye Yohana Umubatiza, no kubera ko nashinyaguriye Kristo, dore mbonye ingororano yo gukiranuka, kuko namennye amaraso menshi y'abana b'abandi ku isi. Bityo imanza z'Imana zirakiranuka; kuko buri wese ahabwa nk'uko yabitekereje. Ariko kubera ko wari ukwiriye kubona uwo Mana-muntu, ni cyo gituma ukwiriye kunsengera. Umwana wanjye Azbonius nawe ari mu bubabare bw'isaha yo gupfa. Nanjye ndi mu mibabaro n'ibigeragezo bikomeye kuko mfite indwara yo kutagira ibibyimba, kandi ndababaye cyane kuko natoteje uwatangije umubatizo w'amazi, ari we Yohana. Bityo rero, muvandimwe, imanza z'Imana zirakiranuka.
