bakora vuba vuba ngo ayo mahirwe bayabyaze umusaruro. Barashakuje bati: “Izi ni imbuto

guhirikwa n’aka kagambane k’abayoboke ba Luteri.” 225
Berquin yongeye gufatwa. Umwami yari mu rugendo atari mu mujyi wa Paris, bituma
abapadiri babona umudendezo wo gukora ibyo bishakiye. Umugorozi Berquin acirwa
urubanza maze bamukatira urwo gupfa; kandi uretse gusa ko umwami Faransisiko yajyaga
kubyitambikamo akamukiza, naho ubundi umwanzuro w’urubanza washyizwe mu bikorwa
uwo munsi rwaciweho. Ku gicamunsi, Berquin yajyanywe aho ari bwicirwe. Imbaga y’abantu
benshi cyane yateraniye kureba uko ari bwicwe, kandi benshi muri bo barebanaga gutangara
n’ubwoba kubona ko ugiye kwicwa yatoranyijwe mu miryango y’abantu bakomeye kandi
b’intwari mu Bufaransa. Gutangara, akababaro, gukwena n’urwango rukaze byari
byijimishije mu maso y’imbaga y’abantu bari aho, nyamara mu maso h’umuntu umwe ho nta
mwijima waharangwaga. Intekerezo z’uwari ugiye kwicwa azira ubuhamya bwe zarebaga
kure y’ibyari bigiye kuba byuzuyemo umuborogo, yiyumvagamo gusa ko Umwami we amuri
iruhande.
Ikimodoka gipfukiranye bamwurije, uburakari bwagaragaraga mu maso y’abari bagiye
kumwica, urupfu ruteye ubwoba yari agiye gupfa, ibyo byose ntiyabyitayeho. Uriho ariko
akaba yari yarapfuye, kandi akaba ariho ubutazongera gupfa ndetse akaba afite imfunguzo
z’urupfu n’iz’ikuzimu yari kumwe nawe. Mu maso ha Berquin harabagiranaga umucyo
n’amahoro mvajuru. Yari yiyambitse “umwambaro w’ibirori; imyambaro wa gikire myiza
cyane kandi ikomeye ndetse n’ikote ry’amabara asa na zahabu.”
226Yari agiye guhamya kwizera kwe imbere y’Umwami w’abami ndetse n’imbere
y’isanzure ryose ryabyitegerezaga, kandi nta kimenyetso cy’amaganya cyashoboraga
gusibanganya ibyishimo bye.
Ubwo abantu benshi bari bamushoreye bagendaga buhoro buhoro banyura mu mayira yari
yuzuyemo abantu, rubanda rwatangazwaga no kubona amahoro afite, insinzi igaragazwa
n’ibyishimo yabonekaga mu maso he ndetse n’ubutwari bwe. Baravuze bati : “Ameze
nk’umuntu wicaye mu rusengero akaba ari gutekereza ku bintu byera.” 227
Ubwo yari ageze ku nkingi yagombaga gutwikirwaho, Berquin yagerageje kugira
amagambo make abwira abantu; ariko abapadiri batinye ingaruka yabyo, batangira gusakuza
cyane, n’abasirikari bajegeza intwaro zabo bityo urusaku rwabyo runiga ijwi rya Berquin.
Uko niko mu mwaka wa 1529, urwego ruhanitse rw’abanditsi n’abepisikopi b’i Paris rwari
rwaratanze urugero rubi kandi ruteye isoni rwo gupfukirana amagambo yera y’abapfiraga ku
mambo mu mwaka 1793. 228
