18Na bo bamaze kumbaza bashaka kundekura, kuko nta mpamvu yambonetseho yo kunyicisha.
19Ariko Abayuda bagiye impaka, mpatwa kujuririra kuri Kayisari, icyakora si uko mfite icyo ndegaubwoko bwacu.
20Ni cyo nabatumiriye ngo tuvuganeduhanganye, kuko ibyo Abisirayeli bīringira kuzabona, ari byo byatumye mboheshwa uyu munyururu.”
21Na bo baramusubizabati “Nta nzandiko z'ibyawe twabonye zivuye i Yudaya, kandi na bene Data baje nta wigeza atubarira inkuru mbi yawe, cyangwa ngo akuvugenabi.

26yabivuze neza ati
‘Jya kuri abo bantuubabwire uti
Kumva muzumva ariko ntimuzabimenya,
Kurebamuzareba ariko ntimuzabyitegereza.
27Kukoumutimaw'ubu bwokoufiteibinure,
Amatwi yabo akaba ari ibihuri,
Amaso yabo bakayahumiriza,
Ngo batarebesha amaso,
Batumvisha amatwi,
No kumenyeshaumutima,
No guhindukira,
Ngo mbakize.’
28“Nuko mumenye yuko abanyamahanga bohererejwe ako gakiza k'Imana, kandi abo bazakumvira.”
