Itorero na Leta ku Rugamba
Igihe Ubufaransa bwangaga Imana ku mugaragaro kandi bukamagana Bibiliya, abantu
b’abagome n’imyuka y’umwijima banejejwe n’uko bageze ku cyo bifuje kuva kera ari cyo:
ubutegetsi butagira ibyo bubuzwa n’amategeko y’Imana. Kubera ko iteka ricirwaho imigirire
mibi ritihutishwaga, ni cyo cyatumye imitima y’abantu “ishishikarira gukora ibibi.” 320
Nyamara kugomera amategeko atunganye kandi y’ukuri byanze bikunze bigomba
gukurikirwa n’ingaruka mbi z’ubuhanya no kurimbuka. Nubwo ibihano by’Imana bitahitaga
bibaho, ubugome bw’abantu ntibwabuze guteza ingaruka zabwo mbi. Ibinyejana byinshi
by’ubuhakanyi n’ubugome byagiye birundanya uburakari kugeza umunsi wo guhabwa
ibihano; kandi ubwo ibicumuro byabo byabaga bimaze kugwira, abasuzuguraga Imana
basobanukirwaga batinze ko kuba barakerenseje kwihangana kw’Imana ari ikintu giteye
ubwoba. Mwuka w’Imana ukumira abantu, kandi utsinda imbaraga y’ubugome bwa Satani
yakuweho mu buryo bukomeye bityo Satani unezezwa n’amakuba y’abantu gusa ahabwa
uburenganzira bwo gukora ibyo ashaka. Abantu bari barahisemo umurimo w’ubwigomeke
bararetswe basarura ingaruka zabwo kugeza ubwo igihugu cyuzuyemo ubwicanyi bukabije
umwanditsi atashobora kurondora. Mu ntara zabaye umusaka n’imijyi yabaye amatongo
humvikanaga ijwi ryo gutaka gukomeye — kwari ugutaka gutewe n’ishavu ryinshi.
Ubufaransa bwahinze umushyitsi nk’ubutigishijwe n’umutingito w’isi. Idini, amategeko,
gahunda mu bantu, umuryango, Leta n’itorero byose byasenywe n’ikiganza gihumanye cyari
cyarahagurukiye kurwanya amategeko y’Imana. Umunyabwenge yavuze ukuri ubwo
yagiraga ati: “Umunyabyaha azagushwa n’ibyaha bye.” “Nubwo umunyabyaha ashobora
gukora ibikorwa bibi ijana akarenga akaramba, nzi neza ko abubaha Imana bazagubwa neza.”
321 “Kuko banze kumenya, kandi ntibahisemo kubaha Uwiteka;” “ni cyo gituma bazarya
ibiva mu ngeso zabo, kandi bazahazwa n’imigambi yabo.” 322
Kwicwa kw’abahamya b’Imana b’indahemuka bishwe na bwa butegetsi butuka Imana
“bwavuye ikuzimu,” ntibyajyaga kumara igihe kirekire bicecetswe. “Iyo minsi itatu n’igice
ishize, umwuka w’ubugingo uva ku Mana winjira muri bo, baherako barahaguruka: ubwoba
bwinshi butera ababibonye.” 323 Mu mwaka wa 1793 ni ho itegeko rikuraho iby’idini kandi
rikabuzanya Bibiliya ryatowe n’Inama nkuru y’igihugu cy’Ubufaransa. Hashize imyaka itatu
n’igice, iyo nama yaje kwivuguruza maze iha umudendezo Ibyanditswe Byera. Abatuye isi
bari baratewe ubwoba n’ibibi bikomeye byari byarabaye ingaruka zo kwirengagiza
Ibyanditswe Byera, kandi abantu bamenya akamaro ko kwizera Imana n’ijambo ryayo
nk’ishingiro ry’ubutungane n’imico-mbonera. Uhoraho yaravuze ati: “Uwo watonganije
ukamutuka ni nde? Ni nde wakanitse ukamureba igitsure? Ni Uwera wa Isirayeli.” 324 “Dore
noneho ngiye kubamenyesha, ni ukuri ngiye kubamenyesha ukuboko kwanjye n’imbaraga
zanjye; na bo bazamenya yuko izina ryanjye ari Yehova.” 325
Ku byerekeye ba bahamya babiri umuhanuzi yongeraho ati: “Bumva ijwi rirenga rivugira
mu ijuru ribabwira riti, “Nimuzamuke muze hano.” Nuko bazamukira mu gicu, bajya mu
ijuru, abanzi babo babireba.” 326 Kuva igihe Ubufaransa burwanyirije abahamya babiri
b’Imana, nibwo barushijeho kubahwa kuruta mbere. Mu mwaka wa 1804 niho Umuryango
