27. Ni amasano ayahe ari hagati y’imanza Babiloni ya kera yaciriwe n’izaciriwe Babiloni Akomeye?

²⁷ Ugutemba n’uguhinduka umusaka kwa Babiloni ya kera cari igihano kubera ibicumuro vyaho. “Urubanza rw[ayo rwari] rwashitse mu majuru.” (Yeremiya 51:9) Ibicumuro vya Babiloni Akomeye na vyo nyene “vya[ra]rundanye gushika mw’ijuru,” ku buryo Yehova ubwiwe ahaguruka. Babiloni Akomeye yagīrwa n’akarenganyo, ugusenga ibigirwamana, ubusambanyi, agacinyizo, ubusuma n’ubwicanyi.

(Kuvayo 22:1, 4, 7, 9) Mu gihe cimirije co gutikiza Babiloni Akomeye, Yehova azokwisunga ingingo y’ubutungane isa n’iyo. Babiloni Akomeye abwirizwa kuronka incuro zibiri ivyo yakoze. Nta kagongwe azogirirwa kuko na we nyene ata kagongwe yagiriye abo yishe. Yarariye imitsi abantu bo kw’isi kugira yigumire mu “bihinda vy’agaterasoni.” Hazoba hageze ko ashikirwa n’imibabaro n’ikigandaro. Babiloni ya kera yabona ko yari mu mutekano ntangere, ikigamba iti: “Sinzokwicara nk’umupfakazi, kandi sinzomenya ukubura abana ico ari co.” (Yesaya 47:8, 9, 11) Babiloni Akomeye na we nyene abona ko atekaniwe. Ariko rero urubanza rw’agatikizo yaciriwe na Yehova umwe “akomeye,” ruzoshika ningoga, nko “mu musi umwe”!
