Umugore we aramubwira ati: ‘Iyaba Uwiteka yashatse

“Manowa arahaguruka akurikira umugore we, asanga

Manowa ati: ‘Ibyo wavuze nibisohora, mbese azaba ari

Rero ni ingezi kumenya uburyo bw’imibereho y’umwana,

Ntakarye ikintu cyose kivuye ku muzabibu, ntakanywe

Manowa abwira marayika w’Uwiteka ati: ‘Udukundire

Marayika w’Uwiteka abwira Manowa ati: ‘Naho

Ariko ubwo Manowa yari ataramenya ko ari marayika

Nuko Manowa abaza marayika w’Uwiteka ati: ‘Witwa

Jambo risubiza imbaraga mu bugingo no mu mwuka ba bana

Kubera ko “umuntu atabeshwaho n’umutsima gusa” ni

Ni yo mpamvu rero abana bato baba bagomba

azaba akuze (ni ukuvuga ngo ashaje; yakuze) ntabwo iyo nzira
azayivamo”. (Ibyo byanditse mu Imigani igice cya 22,

azigera ava mu Ijambo ry’Imana, ni ukuvuga ngo ntabwo
azigera ava ku Mana umuremyi w’Amajuru yose n’Isi; kandi
iyo ni yo azakorera iminsi yose yo kubaho kwe, kabone nagera
ubwo aba urubyiruko akaba mukuru ndetse ashaje; agendera ku
kabando, azakomeza kumenya ko umuremyi w’ Amajuru yose

Rero abana baba bakeneye gukura atari ugukura gusa mu

icyo gihembwe cyo kuba ari abana bato.
Habayeho umuryango w’abashakanye, ari bo Manowa

Manowa n’umugore we basengaga basaba umwana
w’umuhungu; nuko Malayika w’Uwiteka arabiyereka, yiyereka
Manowa…
Malayika w’Uwiteka ni wa wundi Yesu Kristo ariko ari
mu mubiri We wa tewofaniya ugaragara mu Isezerano rya Kera;
ni umugabo, umumalayika, ariko wo mu yindi dimansiyo
(ntabwo ari uwo muri iyi dimansiyo y’aha ku Isi), ahubwo aba
ari mu mubiri We wo mu yindi dimansiyo (adafite n’umubiri
umeze nk’uyu wacu).
Rero yiyeretse umugore wa Manowa amubwira ko
azabyara umwana w’umuhungu, nyuma yaho amubwira ko
akwiriye kugira ibintu yirinda. Nyuma yaho ajya ku bitekerereza
umugabo we, Manowa na we asenga Imana kugira ngo Imana
yongere itume uwo Malayika agaruke, uwo mugabo, kubera ko
Manowa yifuzaga kuba yavugana na we.
Imana irongera ituma Malayika Wayo, Malayika
w’Uwiteka (uwo ni Imana ubwayo ariko iri mu mubiri Wayo wa
tewofaniya); nuko arongera yiyereka umugore wa Manowa, aho
hari ku wundi munsi. Nuko we aragenda ajya guhamagara
umugabo we Manowa, kugira ngo na we aze arebe Malayika
ndetse avugane na we; nuko igihe yaje, Malayika yari akiri aho,
yari umugabo wo yindi dimansiyo.
Manowa aramubwira ati: “Ese ni wowe wa mugabo
wavuganye n’umugore wanjye wa munsi?”. Malayika
aramubwira ati: “Yego ni jye”.
Nuko aramubwira ati: “Ese tuzamurere gute uwo mwana
wabwiye umugore wanjye ko tuzabyarana?”. Nuko aramubwira
ati: “Umugore wawe azitondere ibyo namubwiye byose
azabyirinde…”. Reka tuze tubyumve, reka twumve ayo mateka;
