Oya, iyi si tubako ntizokwigera ihonywa, iturirwa canke isubirizwa. Bibiliya yerekana ko Imana yaremye isi kugira ngo abantu bayibeko ibihe bidahera.

•   “Abagororotsi bazokwigabira isi, kandi bazoyibako ibihe bidahera.”​—Zaburi 37:29.

•   “[Imana] yashinze isi ku bibanza vyayo bishimangiye; ntizogenda inyiganyijwe gushika igihe kitagira urugero, emwe gushika ibihe bidahera.”​—Zaburi 104:5.

•   “Isi igumaho gushika igihe kitagira urugero.”​—Umusiguzi 1:4.

•   “Uwabumvye isi akayihingura, We yayishimangiye, ntayiremere ubusa gusa, mugabo akayirema ngo ibeko abantu.”​—Yesaya 45:18.

 Imana ntizoreka ngo abantu bahonye isi buhere bivuye ku gutosekaza ibidukikije, ku ndwano canke ibindi. Ahubwo, “[izo]honya abahonya isi.” (Ivyahishuwe 11:18) None izobahonya gute?

 Imana izokuraho intwaro z’abantu kuko zananiwe gukingira isi, izisubirize Ubwami bwayo bwo mw’ijuru. (Daniyeli 2:44; Matayo 6:9, 10) Ubwo Bwami buzoba burongowe na Yezu Kristu Umwana w’Imana. (Yesaya 9:6, 7) Igihe Yezu yari kw’isi, yarerekanye ko afise ububasha ku bidukikije. (Mariko 4:35-41) Kubera rero ko ari we Mwami w’Ubwami bw’Imana, azotegeka isi hamwe n’ibidukikije. Azotuma isi isubira kumera neza nka kumwe Edeni yari imeze.​—Matayo 19:28; Luka 23:43.

 Habe namba. Ukwo gutahura ibintu ukutari kwo akenshi kuva ku kudatahura neza insobanuro ya 2 Petero 3:7, ahavuga hati: “Amajuru n’isi biriho ubu birundanirijwe umuriro.” Raba ibintu bibiri bihambaye bidufasha gutahura insobanuro y’ayo majambo:

1.   Bibiliya irakoresha imvugo “amajuru,” “isi,” n’“umuriro” ishaka kuvuga ibintu bitandukanye. Nk’akarorero, mw’Itanguriro 11:1 havuga hati: “Isi yose yari ifise ururimi rumwe n’amajambo amwe.” Ng’aho ijambo “isi” ryerekeza ku bantu.

2.   Imirongo y’imbere ya 2 Petero 3:7 irerekana ico amajuru, isi n’umuriro bivugwa muri uwo murongo bisigura. Ku murongo wa 5 n’uwa 6 harerekana ko ibivugwa ku murongo wa 7 bifitaniye isano na wa mwuzure wo mu gihe ca Nowa. Ico gihe, isi ya kera yaratikijwe ariko isi butaka yagumyeho. Iyo “si” umwuzure watikije ni abantu babi. (Itanguriro 6:11) Waratikije kandi “amajuru,” ni ukuvuga abatware bategeka abo bantu babi. Uca wumva ko hatikijwe abantu babi, hatatikijwe isi bukata. Nowa n’umuryango wiwe bararokotse kandi babandanije kuba kw’isi inyuma y’umwuzure.​—Itanguriro 8:15-18.

 “Umuriro” uvugwa muri 2 Petero 3:7, ari kwo gutikizwa, uzohonya abantu babi, ntuzohonya isi butaka, nka kurya nyene umwuzure wahoneje abantu babi. Imana idusezeranira “amajuru mashasha n’isi nshasha, kandi aho ni ho ubugororotsi buzoba.” (2 Petero 3:13) “Isi nshasha,” ni ukuvuga ikibano c’abantu gishasha, izotegekwa n’“amajuru mashasha,” ni ukuvuga ubutegetsi bushasha, ari bwo Bwami bw’Imana. Igihe ubwo Bwami buzoba buganza, isi izohinduka iparadizo.​—Ivyahishuwe 21:1-4.
