Intangiriro:
Ubu Yesaya yibanda ku bunini bw'Imana Data wacu bitandukanye n'ubusa bw'ibigirwamana by'abapagani. Iki gice kandi gifungura icyo rabi b'Abayahudi bise "Igitabo cy'Ihumure" (Yesaya 40-66 yose). Yesaya arimo kugerageza guhumuriza abasigaye b'Abayahudi i Babuloni nyuma y'imyaka yabo mibi mu bunyage, abizeza ko Imana iri kumwe na bo kandi ko izabagarura mu gihugu cy'isezerano mu mutekano.
Yesaya 40-66 yandikiwe itsinda ry’impunzi zacitse intege cyane zihanganye n’urugendo rurerure rwo gutaha n’akazi katoroshye ko kwiyubaka. Incuro nyinshi Imana ibabwira iti “Ntimutinye!” kandi ikomeza kubizeza imbabazi zayo no kuba Imana iri kumwe na bo. Kubera aya magambo yo kubatera inkunga, abantu bamaze ibinyejana byinshi batekereza kuri iki gice cy’Ibyanditswe Byera, binjiza icyizere n’ibyiringiro bakeneye mu bihe bigoye. Ibi byanditswe birahamagarira buri mwizera wese, “Humura!”
Muri Yesaya 40-48, Yesaya ashimangira ubuhangange bw'Imana. Mu bihe bigoye, aho ibihe bikomeye kurushaho bishobora kugaragara mu gihe kizaza, kandi ubushobozi bwo guhangana n'ibyo bibazo butari mu maboko yacu, ni ngombwa cyane ko dusobanukirwa ubuhangange bw'Imana. Indirimbo, How Great You Art, yabaye umugisha ukomeye n'ihumure ku bizera benshi, kubera iyo mpamvu. Iyi ndirimbo idufasha gukura amaso yacu ku ngorane zacu n'imihangayiko n'ibitotsi byacu, no kwibanda ku Mwami gusa. Iyo imbaraga z'Imana zuzuye icyerekezo cyacu cyose, ibibazo byacu bizasa n'aho ari bito ugereranije.
Yesaya ashimagiza ubukuru bw'Imana mu buryo butatu bw'ingenzi binyuze muri ibi bice: (1) Imana iruta imimerere yacu (harimo n'ibibazo biri inyuma yacu, imbere yacu, no muri twe), (2) Imana iruta ubwoba bwacu, na (3) Imana iruta abanzi bacu. Iyo twinjije Imana mu bitekerezo byacu, nubwo twaba dufite ingorane, dushobora kuririmba cyane tuti “ MBEGA UKO UHAMBAYE!”
