Naho ari ukwo, Asa yagumye akorera Imana n’umutima wiwe wose*, mu buzima bwiwe* bwose+. 18 Yarazanye mu nzu y’Imana y’ukuri ibintu se yari yareguriye Imana n’ivyo we ubwiwe yeguriye Imana: uri ifeza, inzahabu n’ibindi bikoresho+. 19 Nta ntambara yasubiye kuba gushika mu mwaka ugira 35 Asa ari umwami+.
