10 “‘Kuko iri ari ryo sezerano nzosezerana n’inzu ya Isirayeli inyuma y’iyo misi,’ ni ko Yehova avuga. ‘Nzoshira amategeko yanje mu muzirikanyi wabo+, kandi nzoyandika mu mitima yabo. Kandi nzoba Imana yabo+, na bo bazoba abantu banje+.
11 “‘Kandi umwe wese muri bo ntazogenda yigishije umunyagihugu mugenziwe canke ngo umwe wese yigishe mwene wabo, ngo: “Menya Yehova+!” Kuko bose bazomenya+, guhera ku muto kugeza ku wuhambaye kuruta abandi bose muri bo. 12 Kuko nzoba umunyembabazi ku bikorwa vyabo bitagororotse, kandi sinzogenda nongeye kwibuka+ ibicumuro vyabo+.’”
