Abisiraheli bashakira Ababenyamini abageni

1 Igihe Abisiraheli bari bateraniye i Misipa, bari barahiye ko nta n’umwe muri bo uzashyingira umukobwa we mu Babenyamini.

2 Nuko bajya ku Nzu y’Imana i Beteli, barahicara birirwa barira baboroga,

3 bagatakamba bati: “Uhoraho Mana y’Abisiraheli, ibi byatubayeho ni ibiki? Umwe mu miryango y’Abisiraheli urazimye pee!”

4 Bukeye barazinduka bubaka urutambiro, batura ibitambo bikongorwa n’umuriro n’iby’umusangiro.

5 Nuko baravuga bati: “Mbere y’uko duteranira ku Nzu y’Uhoraho i Misipa, twari twarahiye dukomeje ko utazajyayo azicwa. None se haba hari abo mu miryango yose y’Abisiraheli bataje muri iryo koraniro?”

6 Abisiraheli bibajije batyo kuko bari bababajwe n’abavandimwe babo b’Ababenyamini, baravuga bati: “Uyu munsi umwe mu miryango y’Abisiraheli urazimye!

7 Twakora iki kugira ngo Ababenyamini barokotse babone abageni, ko twarahiye Uhoraho ko tutazabashyingira?”

8 Ni cyo cyatumye bibaza bati: “Ni uwuhe muryango w’Abisiraheli utaje ku Nzu y’Uhoraho i Misipa?” Basanga ari nta muntu w’i Yabeshi yo muri Gileyadi waje muri iryo koraniro.

9 Nuko barebye no mu ngabo basanga koko nta waturutse i Yabeshi y’i Gileyadi.

10 Maze ikoraniro ryose ryohereza ingabo z’intwari ibihumbi cumi na bibiri, rirategeka riti: “Nimugende mwice abaturage bose b’i Yabeshi y’i Gileyadi, abagabo n’abagore n’abana,

11 uretse abakobwa b’isugi.”

12 Bageze i Yabeshi y’i Gileyadi, mu bahatuye basangamo abakobwa b’isugi magana ane, babazana mu nkambi y’i Shilo mu gihugu cya Kanāni.

13 Nuko ikoraniro ryose ry’Abisiraheli rituma ku Babenyamini bari ku rutare rwa Rimoni kugira ngo babahumurize.

14 Nuko Ababenyamini bava mu buhungiro, Abisiraheli babashyingira ba bakobwa bavanye i Yabeshi y’i Gileyadi. Icyakora ntibabakwira, kuko Ababenyamini babarutaga ubwinshi.

15 Abisiraheli bababazwa n’ibyabaye ku Babenyamini, kuko Uhoraho yari yaciye icyuho mu miryango y’Abisiraheli.

16 Abakuru b’iryo koraniro baravugana bati: “Twakora iki kugira ngo Ababenyamini basigaye babone abagore, ko Ababenyaminikazi bashize?

17 Tugomba gucikūra Ababenyamini basigaye, kuko ari nta n’umwe wo mu miryango y’Abisiraheli ukwiriye kuzima.

18 Nyamara ntidushobora kubashyingira abakobwa bacu, kuko twarahiye tuvuga tuti: ‘Uzashyingira Ababenyamini azavumwe!’ ”

19 Ariko baza kwibuka ko mu gihe gito bazizihiza iminsi mikuru y’Uhoraho ibera i Shilo buri mwaka. Shilo yari mu majyaruguru ya Beteli, mu burasirazuba bw’inzira ituruka i Beteli igana i Shekemu, hakaba no mujyepfo ya Lebona.

20 Nuko babwira abo Babenyamini bati: “Muzagende mwihishe mu mizabibu,

21 maze nimubona abakobwa b’i Shilo basohotse bajya kubyina, muzave muri iyo mizabibu, buri wese yifatire umugore muri abo bakobwa, hanyuma mubajyane iwanyu mu ntara y’Ababenyamini.

22 Ba se b’abo bakobwa cyangwa basaza babo nibaza kubaturegera, tuzababwira tuti: ‘Nimutubabarire mubabarekere, kuko abagabo bamwe bo muri bo tutababoneye abagore muri ya ntambara, kandi nta wuzabibarenganyiriza kuko atari mwe mwababashyingiye.’ ”

23 Nuko Ababenyamini babigenza batyo, buri wese yifatira umugore muri abo bakobwa bari bagiye kubyina. Hanyuma babajyana iwabo mu ntara y’Ababenyamini, bisanira imijyi yabo bayituramo.

24 Birangiye abandi Bisiraheli barataha, umuntu wese yisubirira iwe mu muryango we no muri gakondo ye.

25 Muri icyo gihe Abisiraheli nta mwami bari bafite, umuntu wese yikoreraga icyo yishakiye.

Umuryango wa Elimeleki usuhukira i Mowabu

1 Igihe Abisiraheli bategekwaga n’abacamanza, mu gihugu cyabo hateye inzara. Nuko umugabo w’i Betelehemu mu ntara y’u Buyuda, asuhukira mu gihugu cy’i Mowabu, ajyana n’umugore we n’abahungu be babiri.

2 Uwo mugabo yitwaga Elimeleki, umugore we akitwa Nawomi, naho abahungu be, umwe yitwaga Mahiloni, undi akitwa Kiliyoni. Bari Abanyefuratab’i Betelehemu. Nuko bagera i Mowabu baturayo. Bakiriyo

3 Elimeleki arapfa, Nawomi asigarana n’abahungu be babiri.

4 Abo bahungu barongora abakobwa b’Abamowabukazi. Umwe yitwaga Orupa, undi akitwa Ruti. Hashize nk’imyaka icumi basuhukiye i Mowabu,

5 Mahiloni na Kiliyoni na bo barapfa. Nawomi asigara ari umupfakazi n’incike.

Ruti ajyana na nyirabukwe Nawomi i Betelehemu

6 Nawomi akiri i Mowabu amenya ko Uhoraho yitaye ku bantu be, akabaha umusaruro mwiza. Nuko yitegura gusubira mu gihugu cye hamwe n’abakazana be.

7 Ahagurukana na bo bombi, asubira mu gihugu cye mu ntara y’u Buyuda. Bakigenda,

8 Nawomi abwira abakazana be ati: “Bana banjye, nimwisubirireyo buri wese ajye iwabo. Ineza mwagiriye ba nyakwigendera hamwe nanjye, namwe Uhoraho ayibagirire.

9 Mwembi Uhoraho abahe kuzabona abandi bagabo, mubagirireho umugisha.”

Nawomi arabahobera, abasezeraho. Nuko abakazana be bararira cyane.

10 Baramubwira bati: “Ashwi da! Ntitugusiga ahubwo turajyana iwanyu.”

11 Nawomi yongera kubabwira ati: “Bana banjye, nimwisubirireyo. Ni iki gituma mushaka ko tujyana? Dore naracuze, singishoboye kubabyarira abandi bagabo.

12 Nimundeke mwisubirire iwanyu. Dore ndakecuye cyane, sinkiri uwo gushaka undi mugabo. Kandi nubwo navuga nti: ‘Ndacyafite icyizere iri joro ndi bubone umugabo tuzabyarane abahungu’,

13 mbese mwategereza igihe bazakurira ntimushake abandi bagabo? Oya, bana banjye! Ntibikabeho! Erega mfite ishavu riruta iryanyu, kuko Uhoraho yahagurukiye kundwanya.”

14 Abakazana be bombi bongera kurira cyane, maze Orupa ahobera nyirabukwe amusezeraho, ariko Ruti we yanga kumusiga.

15 Nawomi abwira Ruti ati: “Dore mukeba wawe asubiye muri bene wabo no ku mana zabo. Nawe mukurikire usubire iwanyu.”

16 Ariko Ruti aramusubiza ati: “Wimpatira kugusiga kugira ngo nsubire iwacu. Aho uzajya ni ho nzajya, aho uzaba ni ho nzaba. Abantu bawe bazaba abantu banjye, Imana yawe izaba Imana yanjye.

17 Aho uzagwa ni ho nzagwa bahampambe. Nihagira ikindi kidutandukanya kitari urupfu, Uhoraho azabimpanire yihanukiriye.”

18 Nawomi abonye ko Ruti yiyemeje kujyana na we, areka kumuhatira gusubira iwabo.

19 Bombi barajyana bagerana i Betelehemu. Bagezeyo batera abo mu mujyi bose amatsiko. Abagore barabazanya bati: “Niko ye, koko se uyu ni Nawomi?”

20 Nawomi arababwira ati: “Ntimukongere kunyita Nawomi – risobanurwa ngo Nyiramahirwe – ahubwo mujye munyita Mara – risobanurwa ngo Nyirashavu – kuko Imana nyir’ububasha yanteye ishavu ryinshi.

21 Navuye ino ntunganiwe, none Uhoraho ahangaruye ndi nyakamwe. None se ni iki gituma munyita Nawomi kandi Uhoraho nyir’ububasha yarahagurukiye kundwanya, akanteza ibyago?”

22 Nguko uko Nawomi yavuye mu gihugu cy’i Mowabu akagaruka iwabo, ari kumwe n’umukazana we Umumowabukazi Ruti. Bageze i Betelehemu abantu batangiye gusarura ingano zitwa bushoki.

14 Igihe cyo gufungura kigeze, Bowazi abwira Ruti ati: “Ngwino nawe ufungure. Fata igisate cy’umugati ukoze mu isupu.”

Ruti yicara iruhande rw’abasaruzi, maze Bowazi amuha ku mpeke zikaranze, ararya arahaga ndetse arasigaza.

15 Hanyuma Ruti arahaguruka asubira guhumba. Bowazi abwira abakozi be ati: “Mumureke ahumbe no hagati y’imiba y’ingano, ntihagire umukoma imbere.

16 Ahubwo amahundo amwe mujye muyasohorora mu miba muyasige inyuma, ayihumbire. Muramenye ntihagire umutonganya.”

10 Bowazi aramusubiza ati: “Ruti, Uhoraho aguhe umugisha, wabaye indahemuka kuri nyokobukwe, none urushijeho kubigaragariza umuryango we. Ntiwigeze wiruka inyuma y’abasore, baba abakire cyangwa abakene.

11 None rero ntuhangayike, icyo uzashaka cyose nzakigukorera. Erega n’abantu bose bo mu mujyi wacu bazi ko uri inyangamugayo!

1 Bowazi ajya mu mujyi aho bakemuriraga ibibazo, arahicara. Wa mugabo Bowazi yabwiraga Ruti ko afitanye isano ya bugufi na Elimeleki, arahanyura. Bowazi aramuhamagara ati: “Yewe, ngwino hano wicare nkubwire.”

Nuko uwo mugabo araza, aricara.

2 Bowazi ahamagara abagabo icumi bo mu bakuru b’umujyi, arababwira ati: “Nimwicare.” Bamaze kwicara

3 Bowazi abwira wa mugabo ati: “Uzi ko Nawomi yavuye mu gihugu cy’i Mowabu, none arashaka umuvandimwe ufitanye isano ya bugufi na Elimeleki umuvandimwe wacu, kugira ngo amushinge isambu ye.

4 Nkaba nagira ngo mbikumenyeshe, ndetse ngusabe no kwemerera imbere ya rubanda n’imbere y’aba bakuru bicaye hano, ko ushingwa iyo sambu. Niba ubyemera ubivugire aha, niba kandi utabyemera ubimbwire. Ubwa mbere ni wowe ugomba gushingwa iyo sambu, wabyanga nkabona kuyishingwa.”

Uwo mugabo abwira Bowazi ati: “Ndabyemeye.”

5 Bowazi abwira uwo mugabo ati: “Ubwo wemeye gushingwa isambu ya Nawomi n’Umumowabukazi Ruti, ugomba no kwishingira gucyura umupfakazi muka nyakwigendera, kugira ngo umucikure haboneke umwana uzaragwa ibye.”

Hana ashimira Uhoraho

1 Hana asenga agira ati:

“Umutima wanjye wasābwe n’ibyishimo kubera Uhoraho,

Uhoraho ni we nkesha imbaraga.

Abanzi banjye mbahaye urw’amenyo,

Uhoraho, ndagushimira ko wankijije.

2 Uhoraho, ni wowe muziranenge wenyine,

nta yindi mana ibaho uretse wowe,

Mana yacu, ni wowe wenyine rutare twegamira.

3 “Ntimugasukiranye amagambo y’ubwirasi,

ntimukavugane agasuzuguro,

koko Uhoraho ni Imana izi byose,

ni we uzi impamvu z’ibikorwa byose by’abantu.

4 Imiheto y’intwari iravunika,

naho abanyantegenke abagwiriza imbaraga.

5 Abari barariye bagahaga ubu barashaka aho baca incuro,

naho abari baraguye umudari ubu baradamaraye.

Umugore wari ingumba abyaye karindwi,

naho uwari wishimiye urubyaro, arigunze.

6 Uhoraho arica kandi akabeshaho,

ni we ujyana abantu ikuzimu,

kandi ni we ubakurayo.

7 Uhoraho atanga ubukene n’ubukire,

acisha bugufi kandi agakuza.

8 Akura umunyantegenke mu mukungugu,

umukene na we amukura mu ivu,

abicaza mu mwanya w’ibikomangoma,

abashyira mu rwego rw’abanyacyubahiro.

Koko isi yose ni iy’Uhoraho,

ni we wayishinze ku mfatiro zayo.

9 Uhoraho arinda abamwubaha,

naho abagome batikirira mu icuraburindi,

nubwo bagira imbaraga ntibazarokoka.

10 Uhoraho azarimbura abanzi be,

azabakubitisha inkuba yibereye mu ijuru.

Azacira imanza abatuye isi bose,

azaha ububasha umwami yitoranyirije,

azakuza uwo yimikishije amavuta.”

11 Hanyuma Elikana asubira iwe i Rama, naho umwana Samweli aguma i Shilo akorera Uhoraho, atozwa n’umutambyi Eli.

Abahungu ba Eli

12 Abahungu ba Eli bari abapfayongo, ntibitaga ku Uhoraho

13 no ku byo abatambyi bagombaga gukorera rubanda. Iyo umuntu yaturaga igitambo, umwe mu bagaragu babo yazaga aho batetse inyama afite igikanya cy’amenyo atatu,

14 akakijomba mu ngunguru cyangwa mu isafuriya, cyangwa mu nkono cyangwa mu cyungo. Nuko ibyo icyo gikanya kijabuye, bikaba iby’umutambyi. Nguko uko bene Eli bagenzerezaga Abisiraheli bose bazaga i Shilo.

15 Ndetse umutambyi ataranatwika urugimburw’igitambo, umugaragu we yarazaga akabwira uwatambaga igitambo ati: “Mpa inyama zo kokereza umutambyi, ntashaka ko umuha izitetse arishakira imbisi.”

16 Iyo undi yamusubizaga ati: “Reka babanze batwike urugimbu, hanyuma utware izo ushaka”, umugaragu yaramubwiraga ati: “Zimpe nonaha, niba wanze ndazitwara ku gahato.”

17 Icyo cyaha cya bene Eli cyari gikomeye cyane ku Uhoraho, kuko batubahaga amaturo yamugenewe.

Samweli akiri muto

18 Umwana Samweli yiyambariraga ikanzu y’umweru, agakorera Uhoraho.

19 Uko umwaka utashye, nyina wa Samweli yamudoderaga umwambaro, akawumushyīra iyo yajyanaga n’umugabo we i Shilo gutamba igitambo cya buri mwaka.

20 Eli yasabiraga umugisha Elikana n’umugore we, akabwira Elikana ati: “Uhoraho azaguhe kubyarana n’uwo mugore abandi bana, bo gusimbura uwo yasabye Uhoraho akamumutura.” Hanyuma bagasubira iwabo.

21 Nuko Uhoraho agirira Hana impuhwe, abyara abandi bahungu batatu n’abakobwa babiri, naho umwana Samweli akomeza gukurira mu Nzu y’Uhoraho.

Eli acyaha abahungu be

22 Umutambyi Eli yari ageze mu zabukuru. Amenye uko abahungu be bitwara mu Bisiraheli, n’uko basambanaga n’abagore bakoraga ku muryango w’Ihema ry’ibonaniro,

23 arababwira ati: “Ibyo nabumviseho ni ibiki? Abantu bose bavuga ko mwifata nabi!

24 Bana banjye, nimusigeho! Ibyo numva ubwoko bw’Uhoraho bubavugaho biteye isoni!

25 Iyo umuntu akoreye undi ikosa, Uhoraho ashobora kubunga, ariko se iyo umuntu acumuye ku Uhoraho, ni nde wabunga?” Nyamara abo bahungu ntibigeze bita ku byo se ababwira. Koko rero, Uhoraho yari yamaze kwemeza ko bagomba gupfa.

26 Naho umwana Samweli yakomezaga gukura neza, ashimwa n’Uhoraho n’abantu.

Umuhanuzi ahanurira Eli n’urugo rwe ko bazahanwa

27 Umuhanuzi asanga Eli aramubwira ati: “Uhoraho aravuze ati: ‘Nimenyesheje ba sokuruza igihe bari mu Misiri bakorera umwami waho.

28 Mu miryango yose y’Abisiraheli sokuruza Aroni ni we nahisemo ngo ambere umutambyi, ashingwa imirimo y’urutambiro rwanjye no kunyosereza imibavu no kungisha inama. Ndetse we n’abamukomokaho nabeguriye umugabane ku bitambo bitwikwa, Abisiraheli batura.

29 None se, ni kuki mutubaha ibitambo n’amaturo nategetse ko banzanira mu Nzu yanjye? Dore murabyibushywa n’inyama nziza z’ibitambo ubwoko bwanjye bw’Abisiraheli banzanira! Kuki wubaha abahungu bawe kuruta uko unyubaha?

30 Jyewe Uhoraho Imana y’Abisiraheli nari nasezeranyije urugo rwawe ndetse n’abazagukomokaho bose ko muzambera abatambyi iteka ryose, ariko noneho mvuze ko atari ko bikimeze. Abanyubaha nzabakuza, naho abansuzugura nzabakoza isoni.

31 Bidatinze, ngiye kukuvutsa abanyamaboko mu rugo rwawe no mu nzu yawe, ku buryo nta wo muri mwe uzagera mu zabukuru.

32 Abisiraheli bazagubwa neza, naho mu Ngoro yanjye uzahasimburwa n’undi, kandi mu rugo rwawe nta musaza uzongera kuhaboneka.

33 Abenshi mu muryango wawe bazakenyuka, n’abazakomeza umurimo w’ubutambyi bazaguteza ishavu n’intimba.

34 Ikizabikwemeza ni uko abahungu bawe bombi, Hofuni na Finehasi bazapfira umunsi umwe.

35 Nzitoranyiriza umutambyi w’umunyamurava uzakora ibyo nifuza. Nzamutonesha we n’abazamukomokaho, bazahora bagaragiye umwami nimikishije amavuta.

36 Uzaba yararokotse mu bazagukomokaho, azajya kwikubita imbere y’abo batambyi kugira ngo arebe ko yabona igikoroto cy’ifeza cyangwa akamanyu k’umugati, kandi abinginge kugira ngo bamuhe akazi babonye kose mu mirimo y’abatambyi, abone icyo kumutunga.’ ”
