1 Yozafati arapfa bamushyingura hamwe na ba sekuruza mu Murwa wa Dawidi, umuhungu we Yoramu amusimbura ku ngoma.

Ingoma ya Yoramu

2 Yoramu yari afite abavandimwe ari bo bahungu ba Yozafati umwami wa Isiraheli, abo ni Azariya na Yehiyeli, na Zakariya na Azariya, na Mikayeli na Shefatiya.

3 Se yari yabahaye impano nyinshi z’ifeza n’izahabu n’ibindi by’agaciro, n’imijyi ntamenwa yo mu Buyuda, ariko Yoramu ni we yahisemo kumusimbura kubera ko ari we mfura ye.

4 Nuko Yoramu asimbura se ku ngoma, amaze gukomera yicisha inkota abavandimwe be bose ndetse n’ibindi bikomangoma byo mu Bisiraheli.

5 Yoramu yabaye umwami afite imyaka mirongo itatu n’ibiri, amara imyaka umunani ari ku ngoma i Yeruzalemu.

6 Yitwara nabi nk’abami ba Isiraheli, akurikiza n’imigenzereze y’inzu y’umuryango wa Ahabu kuko yari umukwe we, akora ibitanogeye Uhoraho.

7 Nyamara Uhoraho ntiyashatse gutsembaho umuryango wa Dawidi, kuko yari yaramusezeranyije ko we n’abazamukomokaho bazasimburana ku ngoma iteka.

8 Yoramu ari ku ngoma, Abedomu bigometse ku butegetsi bwe bishyiriraho uwabo mwami.

9 Yoramu ashyira nzira aherekejwe n’abatware b’ingabo ze n’amagare ye yose y’intambara, ariko Abedomu barabagota. Nuko nijoro, umwami n’abatwaye amagare y’intambara baca icyuho baracika.

10 Kuva icyo gihe Abedomu bakomeje kugomera Abayuda. Abatuye umujyi: wa Libuna na bo bagomera Yoramu, kuko yari yararetse kumvira Uhoraho Imana ya ba sekuruza.

11 Ubwe yari yarubakishije ahasengerwa ibigirwamana ku misozi y’u Buyuda, bityo atuma abantu b’i Yeruzalemu no mu Buyuda bagomera Imana.

12 Urwandiko ruturutse ku muhanuzi Eliya rugera kuri Yoramu ruvuga ruti: “Uhoraho Imana ya sokuruza Dawidi aravuze ati: ‘Ntiwakurikije imigenzereze ya Yozafati n’iya sokuru Asa, bakubanjirije ku ngoma mu Buyuda.

13 Ahubwo urakurikiza imigenzereze y’abami ba Isiraheli, utoza Abayuda n’abatuye i Yeruzalemu gusenga ibigirwamana nk’uko umuryango wa Ahabu wabigenje. Wicishije n’abavandimwe bawe nubwo bakurushaga ubutungane.

14 Kubera ibyo, Uhoraho agiye guteza ibyago bikomeye urugo rwawe, n’abana bawe n’abagore bawe, n’ibyo utunze byose.

15 Nawe ubwawe ugiye kurwara indwara zikomeye, imwe izagufate mu mara igende ikura kugeza ubwo uzana amagara.’ ”

16 Nuko Uhoraho ateza Yoramu Abafilisiti n’Abarabu, baturanye n’Abanyakushi.

17 Batera u Buyuda basahura ibintu byose byari biri mu ngoro ya cyami, banyaga n’abana n’abagore ba Yoramu, ntibagira umuhungu n’umwe bamusigira uretse Ahaziyawari umuhererezi.

18 Nyuma y’ibyo, Uhoraho amuteza indwara simusiga yo mu mara.

19 Iminsi irahita, nyuma y’imyaka ibiri azana amagara kubera iyo ndwara maze apfa ababara cyane. Ntibamucanira igishyito nk’uko babigenzerezaga ba sekuruza be.

20 Yoramu yabaye umwami afite imyaka mirongo itatu n’ibiri, amara imyaka umunani ari ku ngoma i Yeruzalemu. Kuko nta wababajwe n’urupfu rwe bamushyingura mu Murwa wa Dawidi, ariko hatari mu irimbi ry’abami.

Ingoma ya Ahaziya

1 Abaturage b’i Yeruzalemu basimbuza Yoramu umuhungu we w’umuhererezi Ahaziya, kuko cya gitero cy’Abarabu na bagenzi babo cyari cyishe abahungu be bakuru bose. Bityo Ahaziya mwene Yoramu aba umwami mu Buyuda.

2 Ahaziya yabaye umwami afite imyaka makumyabiri n’ibiri, amara umwaka umwe ari ku ngoma i Yeruzalemu. Nyina yitwaga Ataliya wakomokaga kuri Omuri.

3 Ahaziya na we yitwara nabi nk’abo mu muryango wa Ahabu, kubera ko nyina yamwoshyaga gukora ibibi.

4 Akora ibitanogeye Uhoraho nk’abo mu muryango wa Ahabu, kuko ari bo bamugiraga inama zo kumuyobya.

5 Inama zabo ni zo zateye Ahaziya kujyana na Yehoramu mwene Ahabu umwami wa Isiraheli, gutera Hazayeli umwami wa Siriya i Ramoti y’i Gileyadi.

6 Abanyasiriya bakomeretsa Yehoramu, agaruka i Yizerēli kwivurizayo ibikomere yari yakomerekeye i Ramoti arwana Hazayeli umwami wa Siriya. Nuko Ahaziya mwene Yoramu umwami w’u Buyuda, ajya i Yizerēli gusura Yehoramu mwene Ahabu wari wakomeretse.

7 Imana ni yo yashatse ko Ahaziya asura Yehoramu kugira ngo agweyo. Ahaziya ageze kwa Yehoramu bajyana kwa Yehu mwene Nimushi, uwo Uhoraho yatoranyije kugira ngo arimbure umuryango wa Ahabu.

8 Nuko Yehu ahana umuryango wa Ahabu mu izina ry’Imana, akoranya ibikomangoma by’u Buyuda na bene wabo wa Ahaziya bamuherekeje arabica.

9 Yehu ashakisha Ahaziya bamufatira i Samariya aho yari yihishe, bamuzanira Yehu aramwica, baramushyingura kuko bavugaga bati: “Uyu ni we mwene Yozafati washakashatse Uhoraho abikuye ku mutima.” Nuko habura n’umwe mu muryango wa Ahaziya ubasha kumusimbura ku ngoma.

Ataliya afata ubutegetsi

10 Ataliya nyina wa Ahaziya yumvise ko umuhungu we yapfuye, atsemba abakomoka ku mwami w’u Buyuda bose.

11 Igihe babicaga, Yehosheba mushiki wa Ahaziya afata Yowasi mwene Ahaziya, amukura mu bahungu b’umwami bari bagiye kwicwa. Aramujyana hamwe n’umurezi we, amuhisha mu cyumba cy’Ingoro bararagamo ku buryo Ataliya atashoboye kumwica. Yehosheba umugore w’umutambyi Yehoyada yari umukobwa wa Yoramu wahoze ari umwami w’u Buyuda, bityo akaba mushiki wa Ahaziya.

12 Nuko Yowasi amara imyaka itandatu hamwe n’umurezi we na Yehosheba, bihishe mu Ngoro y’Imana. Icyo gihe Ataliya ni we wategekaga igihugu.

Iyimikwa rya Yowasi

1 Mu mwaka wa karindwi Yehoyada afata icyemezo cyo kugirana amasezerano n’abagaba b’ingabo, ari bo Azariya mwene Yerowamu, na Ishimayeli mwene Yehohanani, na Azariya mwene Obedi, na Māseya mwene Adaya, na Elishafati mwene Zikiri.

2 Bazenguruka u Buyuda, bakoranya Abalevi bo mu mijyi yose n’abakuru b’imiryango y’Abisiraheli, bagarukana na bo i Yeruzalemu.

3 Nuko iryo koraniro ryose ry’abantu rigirana amasezerano n’umwami mu Ngoro y’Imana. Yehoyada arababwira ati: “Nguyu umwana w’umwami. Ni we ugomba kwimikwa nk’uko Uhoraho yabisezeranyije abakomoka kuri Dawidi.

4 Dore uko mugiye kubigenza: abatambyi n’Abalevi bashinzwe imirimo yo ku isabato, itsinda rya mbere rizarinda amarembo y’Ingoro y’Imana,

5 itsinda rya kabiri ririnde ingoro ya cyami, irya gatatu ririnde irembo ry’urufatiro. Naho rubanda bazaba bari mu kibuga cy’Ingoro y’Uhoraho.

6 Ntihazagire undi winjira mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho, uretse abatambyi n’Abalevi bazaba bari ku murimo wabo, kuko ari bo babyeguriwe. Abandi bose bazubahiriza itegeko ry’Uhoraho.

7 Abalevi bazaba bakikije umwami buri wese afite intwaro mu ntoki, maze uzashaka kwinjira mu Ngoro y’Imana azicwe. Muzabe mushagaye umwami aho azajya hose!”

8 Abalevi n’Abayuda bose bakora uko umutambyi Yehoyada yari yabategetse, buri wese afata abantu be, ari abatangiraga umurimo wabo wo ku isabato, ari n’abawurangizaga uwo munsi, kubera ko umutambyi Yehoyada nta tsinda na rimwe ry’abakozi yari yahaye ikiruhuko.

9 Abakuru b’ingabo abaha amacumu n’ingabo z’amoko yose by’Umwami Dawidi, byari byarabitswe mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho.

10 Nuko afata abaturage bose buri wese afite icumu rye mu ntoki, abashyira hafi y’urutambiro n’Ingoro y’Uhoraho, uhereye mu ruhande rw’amajyepfo ukageza mu rw’amajyaruguru kugira ngo bakikize umwami.

11 Nuko Yehoyada n’abahungu be bazana Yowasi umwana w’umwami, bamwambika ikamba, bamushyikiriza n’inyandiko irimo amategeko, amwerekana ku mugaragaro. Bamwimikisha amavuta bavuga bati: “Harakabaho umwami!”

12 Ataliya yumvise urusaku rwa rubanda bagendaga basingiza umwami, aragenda asanga imbaga y’abantu mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho.

13 Arebye abona umwami ahagaze ku ibaraza imbere y’umuryango w’Ingoro y’Uhoraho. Abaririmbyi n’abacuranga amakondera bari bamukikije. Abantu bose bagaragazaga ibyishimo byabo bavuza n’amakondera. Abacuranzi bavuzaga ibicurangisho byabo, bigaherekeza indirimbo zisingiza umwami. Nuko Ataliya ashishimura imyambaro ye, arataka cyane ati: “Mbega ubugambanyi! Mbega ubugambanyi!”

14 Yehoyada ntiyashatse kumwicira mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho, ahubwo abwira abagaba b’ingabo ati: “Nimumusohore mumushyire hanze y’Ingoro, nihagira umukurikira mumwicishe inkota.”

15 Nuko bajyana Ataliya bamunyuza mu irembo ry’amafarasi, bamugejeje ku ngoro y’umwami baba ari ho bamwicira.

Impinduka Yehoyada yakoze

16 Yehoyada agirana amasezerano na rubanda rwose n’umwami, kugira ngo babe umuryango w’Uhoraho.

17 Nuko rubanda rwose rwiroha ku ngoro ya Bāli barayisenya, bamena intambiro zayo n’amashusho yayo, maze bahicira Matani umutambyi wayo.

18 Yehoyada ashinga abatambyi b’Abalevi kurinda Ingoro y’Uhoraho. Dawidi yari yarabaremyemo amatsinda, kugira ngo bajye batamba ibitambo bikongorwa n’umuriro mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho, nk’uko Musa yari yarabategetse ngo bajye bakora uwo murimo baririmba indirimbo z’ibyishimo.

19 Yehoyada yashyizeho n’abarinzi ku miryango y’Ingoro y’Uhoraho, kugira ngo hatagira umuntu uhumanye winjiramo.

20 Yehoyada akoranya abagaba b’ingabo n’ibikomangoma, n’abayobozi b’abaturage na rubanda, maze bashagara umwami kuva ku Ngoro y’Uhoraho bamugeza mu ngoro ye ya cyami, bamunyujije mu irembo rya ruguru. Nuko Yowasi yicara ku ntebe ya cyami.

21 Rubanda bose basābwa n’ibyishimo, umujyi: ugira amahoro nyuma y’aho Ataliya yicishijwe inkota.

Ubutegetsi bwa Yowasi

1 Yowasi yabaye umwami afite imyaka irindwi, amara imyaka mirongo ine ari ku ngoma i Yeruzalemu. Nyina yitwaga Sibiya w’i Bērisheba.

2 Yowasi yakoze ibinogeye Uhoraho mu gihe cyose Yehoyada yari akiriho.

3 Yehoyada ashakira Yowasi abagore babiri, babyarana abahungu n’abakobwa.

4 Hanyuma Yowasi agira igitekerezo cyo gusana Ingoro y’Uhoraho.

5 Akoranya abatambyi n’Abalevi arababwira ati: “Mugende mujye mu mijyi y’u Buyuda, mwake Abisiraheli bose ifeza zo gusanisha buri mwaka Ingoro y’Imana yanyu, kandi mwihutire kubikora!” Ariko Abalevi ntibihutira kujyayo.

6 Nuko umwami atumiza Yehoyada Umutambyi mukuru aramubaza ati: “Kuki utategetse Abalevi ngo bajye mu Buyuda n’i Yeruzalemu, kuzana amakoro y’Ingoro y’Uhoraho nk’uko Musa umugaragu we yategetse Abisiraheli bose?

7 Koko rero abahungu ba wa mugore Ataliya wigize icyigomeke bahumanije Ingoro y’Imana, bakoresha n’ibikoresho byeguriwe Ingoro y’Uhoraho basenga Bāli.”

8 Nuko umwami ategeka ko bakora isanduku, bakayishyira hanze ku muryango w’Ingoro y’Uhoraho.

9 Batangaza muri Yeruzalemu no mu Buyuda bwose ko bagomba kuzanira Uhoraho amakoro, Musa umugaragu w’Imana yategetse Abisiraheli igihe yari mu butayu.

10 Rubanda rwose n’abategetsi bose batanga ifeza bafite umutima mwiza, barazizana bazishyira mu isanduku kugeza igihe yuzuriye.

11 Igihe cyarageraga Abalevi bakajyana isanduku ku mugenzuzi w’ibwami wari ubishinzwe. Iyo basangaga yuzuye, umunyamabanga w’umwami n’abahagarariye Umutambyi mukuru barayajyanaga bagakuramo ifeza, isanduku bakayisubiza mu mwanya wayo. Babigenzaga batyo buri munsi bakakira ifeza nyinshi.

12 Nuko umwami na Yehoyada baziha abayobozi b’imirimo, maze bariha abakozi baconga amabuye n’ababaji kimwe n’abacuzi b’ibyuma n’umuringa, kugira ngo basane Ingoro y’Uhoraho.

13 Abakozi bakorana umwete umurimo barawutunganya, basana Ingoro y’Imana bayisubiza uko yari iri barayikomeza.

14 Barangije bazanira umwami na Yehoyada ifeza basaguye, maze bazikoreshamo ibikoresho by’Ingoro y’Uhoraho, ari byo bikoresho byo mu Ngoro n’ibikoreshwa mu gutamba ibitambo bikongorwa n’umuriro: ibikombe n’ibindi bikozwe mu izahabu n’ifeza. Nuko mu gihe cyose umutambyi Yehoyada yari akiriho, bakomeza gutamba ibitambo bikongorwa n’umuriro mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho.

Yowasi agomera Imana

15 Yehoyada arasaza cyane, apfa afite imyaka ijana na mirongo itatu.

16 Bamushyingura mu Murwa wa Dawidi mu irimbi ry’abami, kuko yari yagiriye neza Abisiraheli, yubaha Imana n’Ingoro yayo.

17 Yehoyada amaze gupfa, abatware b’Abayuda baza gushengerera umwami na we arabumva.

18 Nuko bazinukwa Ingoro y’Uhoraho Imana ya ba sekuruza, maze basenga ikigirwamanakazi Ashera n’ibindi bigirwamana. Icyo cyaha gituma Imana irakarira abatuye u Buyuda na Yeruzalemu.

19 Uhoraho aboherereza abahanuzi agira ngo bamugarukire, ariko ntihagira n’umwe ubumva.

20 Nuko Mwuka w’Imana aza ku mutambyi Zakariya mwene Yehoyada, ahagarara imbere ya rubanda aravuga ati: “Uhoraho Imana arababaza impamvu mudakurikiza amabwiriza ye. Ntimuzagira amahoro kubera ko mwimūye Uhoraho, na we yarabazinustwe.”

21 Nyamara bagambanira Zakariya, umwami ategeka ko bamutera amabuye bakamwicira mu rugo rw’Ingoro y’Uhoraho.

22 Umwami Yowasi yiyibagiza ineza Yehoyada yamugiriye, maze yica umwana we. Zakariya agiye gupfa aravuga ati: “Uhoraho narebe ibyo ukoze maze azabikuryoze.”

Iherezo ry’ingoma ya Yowasi

23 Umwaka urangiye Abanyasiriya batera Yowasi, basesekara i Yeruzalemu no mu Buyuda batsemba abayobozi bose, maze iminyago bayoherereza umwami wabo i Damasi.

24 Nyamara icyo gitero cy’Abanyasiriya cyari kigizwe n’ingabo nkeya, maze Uhoraho azigabiza ingabo z’Abayuda nyinshi cyane, kubera ko bari barasuzuguye Uhoraho Imana ya ba sekuruza. Icyo ni cyo gihano Yowasi yahawe.

25 Ingabo z’Abanyasiriya zisiga Yowasi yakomeretse bikomeye. Nuko babiri mu bagaragu be baramugambanira kubera ko yishe umwana w’umutambyi Yehoyada, maze bamwicira ku buriri bwe. Birangiye bamushyingura mu Murwa wa Dawidi, ariko ntibamuhamba mu mva z’abami.

26 Abamugambaniye ni Zabadi mwene Shimeyati w’Umwamonikazi, na Yehozabadi mwene Shimiriti w’Umumowabukazi.

27 Ibyerekeye abahungu be n’ibyo bamuhanuriye byose, n’ibireba isanwa ry’Ingoro y’Imana, byose byanditswe mu bisobanuro by’igitabo cyitwa icy’abami. Umuhungu we Amasiya amusimbura ku ngoma.

Ingoma ya Amasiya

1 Amasiya yabaye umwami afite imyaka makumyabiri n’itanu, amara imyaka makumyabiri n’icyenda ari ku ngoma i Yeruzalemu. Nyina yitwaga Yehoyadini w’i Yeruzalemu.

2 Amasiya yakoze ibinogeye Uhoraho, ariko ntiyabikoze abikuye ku mutima.

3 Amaze gukomeza ubutegetsi bwe, yica abasirikare be bari barishe se, Umwami Yowasi.

4 Icyakora ntiyica abahungu babo kuko yakurikije ibyanditswe mu gitabo cy’Amategeko ya Musa, aho Uhoraho yategetse ngo “Ababyeyi ntibakicwe baryozwa ibyaha by’abana babo, kandi n’abana ntibakicwe baryozwa ibyaha by’ababyeyi, ahubwo buri muntu azazira icyaha cye bwite.”

Intambara ya Edomu

5 Amasiya akoranya Abayuda akurikije imiryango yabo, ashyiraho abakuru b’ingabo batwara amagana, n’abatwara ibihumbi bo mu Buyuda no mu ntara y’u Bubenyamini hose. Hanyuma abarura abasore bose bagejeje ku myaka makumyabiri n’abayirengeje, abona ibihumbi magana atatu bashobora kujya ku rugamba, bazi kurwanisha inkota n’amacumu.

6 Atanga toni eshatu z’ifeza, maze agurira abagabo b’intwari ibihumbi ijana b’Abisiraheli.

7 Ariko umuhanuzi aza kubwira Amasiya ati: “Nyagasani! Ntujyane n’ingabo z’Abisiraheli kuko Uhoraho atari kumwe n’Abisiraheli, bariya bene Efurayimu bose!

8 Koko rero uramutse uzizanye wibwira ko wagira imbaraga ku rugamba, Imana yatuma abanzi bawe bagutsinda, kuko Imana ari yo yatuma utsinda cyangwa utsindwa.”

9 Amasiya abaza uwo muhanuzi ati: “None nabigenza nte, ko nahaye ingabo z’Abisiraheli toni eshatu z’ifeza?”

Umuhanuzi aramusubiza ati: “Uhoraho afite icyo azaguha kiruta ibyo.”

10 Nuko Amasiya asezerera ingabo z’Abefurayimu basubira iwabo bafite umujinya mwinshi, bagenda barakariye Abayuda.

11 Amasiya amaze gukomera bihagije atabarana n’ingabo ze mu kibaya cy’Umunyu, bahatsinda ingabo ibihumbi icumi z’Abedomu.

12 Abayuda bafata abantu ibihumbi icumi babajyana hejuru y’urutare barabahanantura, bose baravunagurika.

13 Icyakora za ngabo z’Abisiraheli Amasiya yari yirukanye kugira ngo zidatabarana na we, zitera imijyi y’u Buyuda zirayigabiza kuva i Samariya kugeza i Betihoroni. Zihatsinda abantu ibihumbi bitatu, zinyaga iminyago myinshi.

Amasiya atsindwa na Yehowasi umwami wa Isiraheli

14 Amasiya ahindukiye amaze gutsinda Abedomu, azana ibigirwamana by’Abanyaseyirimaze abigira ibye, arabisenga abyosereza n’imibavu.

15 Nuko Uhoraho aramurakarira cyane, amwoherereza umuhanuzi kugira ngo amubaze ati: “Kuki wemera gusenga ibigirwamana bya bariya bantu bitashoboye kubakuvana mu nzara?”

16 Akivuga ibyo Amasiya aramubaza ati: “Ese wahawe uburenganzira bwo kugira inama umwami? Ceceka! Urashaka se gukubitwa?”

Umuhanuzi araceceka ariko abanje kumubwira ati: “Nzi ko Imana ishaka kukurimbura, kuko utumviye inama zanjye.”

Abisiraheli baterwa

17 Umwami w’u Buyuda Amasiya amaze kugisha inama, atuma ku mwami wa Isiraheli Yehowasi mwene Yehowahazi umuhungu wa Yehu ati: “Ngwino turwane imbonankubone!”

18 Yehowasi umwami wa Isiraheli atuma kuri Amasiya umwami w’u Buyuda ati: “Igihe kimwe, igitovu cyo ku bisi bya Libani cyatumye ku giti cya sederi cy’aho muri Libani kiti ‘Ndagusaba umugeni w’umuhungu wanjye.’ Bukeye inyamaswa inyura kuri icyo gitovu irakiribata.

19 None wowe uravuga ko watsinze Abedomu, uriyumvamo ikuzo. Tuza ugume iwawe! Kuki wikururira intambara kandi izaguhitana hamwe n’igihugu cy’u Buyuda?”

20 Nyamara Amasiya ntiyita kuri uwo muburo, kuko ibyo byari biturutse ku Mana yashakaga kumugabiza Yehowasi, kubera ko bayobotse imana z’Abedomu.

21 Yehowasi umwami wa Isiraheli arazamuka arwana na Amasiya umwami w’u Buyuda, bahanganira i Betishemeshi mu Buyuda.

22 Ingabo z’u Buyuda zitsindwa n’Abisiraheli maze zirahunga, buri wese ajya iwe.

23 Yehowasi umwami wa Isiraheli afatira mpiri i Betishemeshi Amasiya mwene Yowasi, umuhungu wa Ahaziyaumwami w’u Buyuda. Yehowasi amujyana i Yeruzalemu, kandi asenya igice cy’urukuta rw’umujyi: kuva ku irembo rya Efurayimu kugeza ku ry’Inguni, hajya kureshya na metero magana abiri.

24 Nuko asahura izahabu n’ifeza n’ibikoresho byose byari mu Ngoro y’Imana birinzwe na Obededomu, asahura n’ibyari mu bubiko bw’ingoro ya cyami, maze atwara iminyago y’abantu ho ingwate asubira i Samariya.

Iherezo ry’ingoma ya Amasiya

25 Amasiya mwene Yowasi umwami w’u Buyuda, abaho imyaka cumi n’itanu nyuma y’urupfu rwa Yehowasi mwene Yehowahazi umwami wa Isiraheli.

26 Ibindi bikorwa bya Amasiya, ibyabanje n’ibyaherutse, byanditswe mu gitabo cyitwa “Ibikorwa by’abami b’u Buyuda n’aba Isiraheli”.

27 Kuva aho Amasiya arekeye gukurikira Uhoraho, abaturage b’i Yeruzalemu baramugambaniye maze ahungira i Lakishi, bamukurikiranayo bamwicirayo.

28 Umurambo we bawuzana uhetswe n’ifarasi, bamushyingura hamwe na ba sekuruza mu Murwa wa Dawidi.

Ingoma ya Uziya

1 Abaturage b’u Buyuda bimika Uziya wari ufite imyaka cumi n’itandatu, asimbura se Amasiya ku ngoma.

2 Amasiya amaze gupfa, Uziya yagaruje umujyi: wa Elati arawusana.

3 Uziya yabaye umwami afite imyaka cumi n’itandatu, amara imyaka mirongo itanu n’ibiri ari ku ngoma i Yeruzalemu. Nyina yitwaga Yekoliya w’i Yeruzalemu.

4 Uziya akora ibinogeye Uhoraho nka se Amasiya.

5 Yagerageje kuyoboka Imana mu gihe cyose cy’imibereho ya Zekariya, wamwigishaga kubaha Imana. Nuko Uhoraho amuha umugisha.

6 Uziya arwanya Abafilisiti maze asenya inkuta z’i Gati n’iz’i Yabune n’iza Ashidodi, yubaka imijyi mu karere ka Ashidodi no mu Bufilisiti.

7 Imana iramutabara atsinda Abafilisiti, n’Abarabu batuye i Guru-Bāli n’Abamewuni.

8 Abamoni bazanira Uziya amakoro kuko yari akomeye cyane, maze aba ikirangirire hose kugeza no ku mipaka ya Misiri.

9 Hanyuma Uziya yubaka iminara i Yeruzalemu no ku Irembo ry’Inguni, no ku Irembo ry’ikibaya no ku nguni y’urukuta maze arayikomeza.

10 Yubaka kandi indi minara mu butayu, acukurisha amariba menshi kuko yari atunze cyane, yari afite n’abahinzi mu misozi no mu bibaya. Yari afite kandi abakozi bo mu mizabibu yo ku dusozi n’iyo mu turere turumbuka, kubera ko yakundaga ubuhinzi.

11 Uziya yari afite ingabo ziteguye kujya ku rugamba, zigabanyijemo amatsinda ukurikije umubare w’ingabo zabaruwe n’umwanditsi Yeyiyeli n’umukozi Māseya. Zari ziyobowe na Hananiya, umwe mu bagaba b’ingabo z’umwami.

12 Umubare wose w’abakuru b’imiryango y’abo bagabo b’intwari, wari ibihumbi bibiri na magana atandatu.

13 Bayoboraga umutwe w’ingabo ugizwe n’abantu ibihumbi magana atatu na birindwi na magana atanu, bari bafite ingufu kandi bari bagenewe kurinda umwami abanzi.

14 Buri gihe uko bajyaga ku rugamba Uziya yabahaga ingabo n’amacumu, n’ingofero n’imyambaro y’ibyuma, n’imiheto n’amabuye y’imihumetso.

15 Abakozi be b’abahanga b’i Yeruzalemu, bamukoreye imashini zo gushyira hejuru y’iminara no hejuru y’inguni, zigenewe kohereza imyambi n’amabuye manini. Uziya afashijwe n’Imana aba ikirangirire, agenda arushaho gukomera aba icyamamare.

Uziya ahanwa kubera ubwirasi bwe

16 Uziya amaze gukomera yishyira hejuru, bimutera kuyoba maze agomera Uhoraho Imana ye. Ndetse yinjira mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho agiye koserezayo imibavu.

17 Umukuru w’abatambyi Azariya amukurikirayo, ari kumwe n’abandi batambyi b’Uhoraho mirongo inani b’intwari.

18 Bahagarara imbere y’Umwami Uziya baramubwira bati: “Ntabwo ari wowe Uziya ugomba kosereza Uhoraho imibavu, ahubwo ni abatambyi bakomoka kuri Aroni, bo beguriwe uwo murimo wo kosa imibavu. Sohoka mu Cyumba kizira inenge kuko wayobye! Icyo wakoze ntikiguhesha ikuzo ku Uhoraho Imana.”

19 Uziya wari ugifite icyotezo mu ntoki arakarira abatambyi, maze indwara zanduza zihita zisesa mu ruhanga akiri imbere y’abatambyi, mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho hafi y’aho bosezereza imibavu.

20 Umutambyi mukuru Azariya n’abandi batambyi bamurebye, babona indwara z’uruhu zanduza zamufashe mu ruhanga. Ako kanya baramusohora, na we yihutira gusohoka kuko Uhoraho yari yamuhannye.

Iherezo ry’ingoma ya Uziya

21 Umwami Uziya akomeza kurwara indwara z’uruhu zanduza, ahabwa akato kuva icyo gihe kugeza igihe apfiriye, aba ukwe adashobora gusubira mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho. Umuhungu we Yotamu wari umuyobozi w’imirimo y’ibwami, ayobora abatuye igihugu.

22 Ibindi bikorwa bya Uziya, ibyabanje n’ibyaherutse, byanditswe n’umuhanuzi Ezayi mwene Amotsi.

23 Uziya amaze gupfa bamushyingura hafi ya ba sekuruza iruhande rw’imva z’abami, kuko yari arwaye indwara z’uruhu zanduza. Umuhungu we Yotamu amusimbura ku ngoma.

Ingoma ya Yotamu

1 Yotamu yabaye umwami afite imyaka makumyabiri n’itanu, amara imyaka cumi n’itandatu ari ku ngoma i Yeruzalemu. Nyina yitwaga Yerusha umukobwa wa Sadoki.

2 Yotamu akora ibinogeye Uhoraho nka se Uziya. Icyakora we ntiyigeze yinjira mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho, ariko abantu bakomeza gukora nabi.

3 Yotamu ni na we wubakishije irembo ryo mu majyaruguru y’Ingoro y’Uhoraho, asana n’ahantu henshi ku rukuta rwa Ofeli.

4 Yubatse kandi imijyi mu misozi y’u Buyuda, yubaka n’ibigo ntamenwa n’iminara mu mashyamba.

5 Yarwanye intambara n’umwami w’Abamoni aramutsinda. Uwo mwaka Abamoni bamuhaye amakoro agizwe na toni eshatu z’ifeza, na toni ibihumbi bitatu by’ingano za nkungu, na toni ibihumbi bitatu by’ingano za bushoki, no mu myaka ibiri ikurikiyeho babigenza batyo.

6 Yotamu arakomera cyane, kuko yari yarakoze ibinogeye Uhoraho Imana ye.

7 Ibindi bikorwa n’ibigwi bya Yotamu n’intambara yarwanye, byanditswe mu gitabo cyitwa “Ibikorwa by’abami ba Isiraheli n’ab’u Buyuda”.

8 Yabaye umwami afite imyaka makumyabiri n’itanu, amara imyaka cumi n’itandatu ari ku ngoma i Yeruzalemu.

9 Hanyuma Yotamu yisazira amahoro bamushyingura mu Murwa wa Dawidi. Umuhungu we Ahazi amusimbura ku ngoma.

Ingoma ya Ahazi

1 Ahazi yabaye umwami afite imyaka makumyabiri, amara imyaka cumi n’itandatu ari ku ngoma i Yeruzalemu. Ahazi yakoze ibitanogeye Uhoraho, ntiyagenza nka sekuruza Dawidi.

2 Ahubwo yagenjeje nk’abami ba Isiraheli, ndetse acurisha amashusho ya Bāli mu muringa kugira ngo ayaramye.

3 Ahazi yosereza imibavu mu kabande ka Hinomu, ageza n’aho atamba abana be, akurikije imihango ihumanye yakorwaga n’amoko Uhoraho yirukanye mu gihugu akayisimbuza Abisiraheli.

4 Nuko atamba ibitambo, yosereza n’imibavu ahasengerwaga no ku mpinga z’imisozi, no munsi y’ibiti byose bitoshye.

Intambara hagati ya Siriya n’u Buyuda

5 Nuko Uhoraho Imana atererana Ahazi maze umwami wa Siriya aramutsinda, yigarurira Abayuda benshi cyane abajyana ho iminyago i Damasi. Uhoraho arongera amuteza Peka mwene Remaliya umwami wa Isiraheli, na we aramutsinda bikabije.

6 Mu munsi umwe Peka yica Abayuda b’intwari ibihumbi ijana na makumyabiri, kubera ko bari barasuzuguye Uhoraho Imana ya ba sekuruza.

7 Igihangange Zikiri wo mu Befurayimu yica Māseya umuhungu w’umwami, na Azirikamu umukuru w’ingoro y’umwami, na Elikana wari wungirije umwami.

8 Abisiraheli batwara ho iminyago Abayuda ibihumbi magana abiri, barimo abagore n’abana b’abahungu n’abakobwa, banyaga n’ibintu byinshi babijyana i Samariya.

Umuhanuzi Obedi

9 Umuhanuzi w’Uhoraho witwaga Odedi arahatunguka, aza gusanganira ingabo zigeze i Samariya arazibwira ati: “Uhoraho Imana ya ba sokuruza yarakariye Abayuda irababagabiza, mubicana umujinya ukabije ku buryo byageze no mu ijuru.

10 None abo Bayuda n’abatuye i Yeruzalemu murashaka kubagira inkoreragahato! Ese mwebwe nta gicumuro mufite ku Uhoraho Imana yanyu?

11 Nimunyumve murekure abo bene wanyu mwazanye ho iminyago, kuko namwe Uhoraho yabarakariye.”

12 Nuko bamwe mu bayobozi b’Abefurayimu ari bo Azariya mwene Yehohanani, na Berekiya mwene Meshilemoti, na Yehizikiya mwene Shalumu, na Amasa mwene Hadulayi, bamagana abari bavuye ku rugamba

13 barababwira bati: “Ntimugeze izo mfungwa hano kuko twaba ducumuye ku Uhoraho. Mbese murashaka kongera ibyaha n’ibicumuro byacu bisanzwe ari byinshi, ku buryo uburakari bw’Imana bwagurumaniye Isiraheli?”

14 Nuko za ngabo zisiga imfungwa n’iminyago imbere y’abakuru b’ingabo n’ikoraniro ryose.

15 Abantu bahamagawe mu mazina bategekwa kwita kuri izo mfungwa, bazanira imyenda y’imicuzo n’inkweto abari bambaye ubusa barabambika, babaha ibyokurya n’ibyokunywa, babomora inguma, abadashobora kugenda babashyira ku ndogobe babageza kwa bene wabo i Yeriko, umujyi: w’imikindo. Hanyuma basubira i Samariya.

Ahazi asaba inkunga y’Abanyasiriya

16 Muri iyo minsi, Umwami Ahazi asaba inkunga umwami wa Siriya.

17 Ubwo kandi Abedomu bari bateye Abayuda babajyana ho iminyago.

18 Abafilisiti na bo bari bateye imijyi y’i Kefila n’iyo mu majyepfo y’u Buyuda. Bari bafashe umujyi: wa Betishemeshi n’uwa Ayaloni, n’uwa Gederoti n’uwa Soko n’insisiro zawo, n’uwa Timuna n’insisiro zawo, n’uwa Gimuzo n’insisiro zawo maze barahatura.

19 Koko rero Uhoraho yakojeje isoni u Buyuda kubera Umwami Ahazi, woshyaga Abayuda ngo bagomere Uhoraho kandi na we ubwe agacumura bikabije.

20 Tigilati-Pilineseri umwami wa Ashūru, aho gutabara Ahazi azanwa no kumurwanya.

21 Nuko Ahazi afata ku bintu byo mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho no ku byo mu ngoro ye bwite, no ku byo mu ngoro z’ibyegera bye abiha umwami wa Ashūru, ariko byose ntibyagira icyo bimumarira.

Ibyaha bya Ahazi

22 Umwami Ahazi amaze gushoberwa arushaho kugomera Uhoraho.

23 Atura ibitambo imana z’i Damasi zari zaramutsinze avuga ati: “Ubwo imana z’abami bo muri Siriya zibafasha gutsinda, nanjye nzituye ibitambo kugira ngo zizandwanirire.” Nyamara ibyo byamukururiye kurimbuka we n’abantu be.

24 Ahazi akoranya ibikoresho byo mu Ngoro y’Imana byose arabimenagura, akinga imiryango y’Ingoro y’Uhoraho, maze yiyubakishiriza intambiro muri Yeruzalemu yose.

25 Muri buri mujyi: w’u Buyuda ahubaka ahasengerwa kugira ngo yosereze imibavu izindi mana, bityo arakaza Uhoraho Imana ya ba sekuruza.

26 Ibindi bikorwa n’ibigwi bya Ahazi, ibyabanje n’ibyaherutse, byanditswe mu gitabo cyitwa “Ibikorwa by’abami b’u Buyuda n’aba Isiraheli.”

27 Nuko Ahazi arapfa ashyingurwa mu Murwa wa Dawidi, ariko ntiyashyingurwa mu mva z’abami ba Isiraheli. Umuhungu we Hezekiya amusimbura ku ngoma.

Ingoma ya Hezekiya

1 Hezekiya yabaye umwami afite imyaka makumyabiri n’itanu, amara imyaka makumyabiri n’icyenda ari ku ngoma i Yeruzalemu. Nyina yitwaga Abiya umukobwa wa Zekariya.

2 Hezekiya yakoze ibinogeye Uhoraho nka sekuruza Dawidi.

Gusukura Ingoro y’Uhoraho

3 Mu kwezi kwa mbere k’umwaka wa mbere ari ku ngoma, yakinguye imiryango y’Ingoro y’Uhoraho arayisana.

4 Atumira abatambyi n’Abalevi abakoranyiriza ku kibuga aherekera iburasirazuba.

5 Nuko arababwira ati: “Yemwe Balevi, nimunyumve! Nimwisukure kandi musukure n’Ingoro y’Uhoraho Imana ya ba sokuruza, muhumanure n’Icyumba kizira inenge.

6 Koko rero ba sokuruza baracumuye kandi bakora ibitanogeye Uhoraho Imana yacu, baramwimūye maze batera umugongo Ingoro y’Uhoraho.

7 Ikindi kandi bakinze n’inzugi z’Ingoro y’Imana, bazimya amatara, bareka kosa imibavu no gutamba ibitambo mu Ngoro y’Imana ya Isiraheli.

8 Ibyo bituma Uhoraho arakarira u Buyuda na Yeruzalemu, aduteza ibyago maze duhinduka urw’amenyo nk’uko namwe mubyirebera.

9 None kubera ibyo ababyeyi bacu bicishijwe inkota, naho abagore bacu n’abahungu bacu n’abakobwa bacu bajyanywe ho iminyago.

10 None rero ndashaka kugirana Isezerano n’Uhoraho Imana ya Isiraheli, kugira ngo areke kuturakarira.

11 Bana banjye, mwitererana Uhoraho kuko yabatoreye kumukorera kugira ngo mumubere abagaragu, kandi mumwosereze imibavu.”

12 Abalevi bari bahari ni aba:

mu muryango wa Kehati hari Mahati mwene Amasiya, na Yoweli mwene Azariya.

Mu muryango wa Merari hari Kishi mwene Abidi, na Azariya mwene Yehalelēli.

Mu muryango wa Gerishoni hari Yowa mwene Zima, na Edeni mwene Yowa.

13 Muri bene Elizafani hari Shimuri na Yeweli.

Muri bene Asafu hari Zakariya na Mataniya.

14 Muri bene Hemani hari Yehiyeli na Shimeyi.

Muri bene Yedutuni hari Shemaya na Uziyeli.

15 Nuko bakoranya abavandimwe babo, barisukura hanyuma basukura n’Ingoro y’Uhoraho nk’uko umwami yari yabitegetse, akurikije amagambo y’Uhoraho.

16 Nuko abatambyi binjira mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho kugira ngo bayisukure, bashyira hanze ikintu cyose gihumanye basanze mu Ngoro, Abalevi barabifata babijyana inyuma y’umujyi: mu kabande ka Kedironi.

17 Batangiye umuhango wo guhumanura Ingoro ku itariki ya mbere y’ukwezi kwa mbere, bagera ku muryango w’Ingoro ku itariki ya munani, Ingoro bayisukura indi minsi umunani, barangiza ku itariki ya cumi n’esheshatu y’uko kwezi kwa mbere.

Hezekiya asubizaho imihango yo mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho

18 Nuko basanga Umwami Hezekiya baramubwira bati: “Twahumanuye Ingoro yose y’Uhoraho, n’urutambiro n’ibikoresho byarwo byose, n’ameza ashyirwaho imigati ituwe Imana n’ibikoresho byayo byose.

19 Ibikoresho byose Umwami Ahazi yanduje mu bwigomeke bwe akiri ku ngoma, twabisubije mu mwanya wabyo ndetse turanabihumanura. Biri imbere y’urutambiro rw’Uhoraho.”

20 Bukeye mu gitondo Umwami Hezekiya akoranya abatware b’umujyi:, maze barazamuka bajya mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho.

21 Bazana ibimasa birindwi n’amapfizi y’intama arindwi, n’abana b’intama barindwi, n’amasekurume y’ihene arindwi. Ibyo bitambo byagombaga guhongerera ibyaha by’umuryango w’umwami, no guhumanura Ingoro y’Uhoraho n’Abayuda. Umwami ategeka abatambyi bakomoka kuri Aroni ngo babitambire ku rutambiro rw’Uhoraho.

22 Nuko batamba ibimasa, abatambyi bafata amaraso bayamisha ku rutambiro, batamba n’amapfizi y’intama n’abana b’intama, amaraso yabyo na yo bayamisha ku rutambiro.

23 Hanyuma bazana amasekurume y’ihene yo guhongerera ibyaha, bayashyira imbere y’umwami n’ikoraniro maze bayaramburiraho ibiganza.

24 Abatambyi barayica maze amaraso yayo bayamisha ku rutambiro, aba igitambo cy’impongano y’ibyaha by’Abisiraheli bose, kuko umwami yari yarategetse gutamba igitambo gikongorwa n’umuriro, n’igitambo cy’impongano y’ibyaha by’Abisiraheli bose.

25 Umwami ashyira Abalevi mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho bafite inanga y’indoha n’inanga nyamuduri nk’uko byategetswe na Dawidi, na Gadi umuhanuzi w’umwami n’umuhanuzi Natani, kuko ayo mabwiriza yari aturutse ku Uhoraho ayanyujije ku bahanuzi be.

26 Abalevi bajya mu myanya yabo bafite ibicurangisho bya Dawidi, bakurikirwa n’abatambyi bafite amakondera.

27 Hezekiya ategeka ko batamba igitambo gikongorwa n’umuriro ku rutambiro, maze igihe cyo gutamba kigeze batera indirimbo yo gusingiza Uhoraho, amakondera aravuga aherekejwe n’ibicurangisho bya Dawidi umwami wa Isiraheli.

28 Ikoraniro ryose rikomeza kuramya, abaririmbyi bakomeza kuririmba no kuvuza amakondera, kugeza igihe barangije gutamba igitambo gikongorwa n’umuriro.

29 Bamaze gutamba igitambo, umwami n’abari kumwe na we bose barapfukama baramya Imana.

30 Hanyuma Umwami Hezekiya n’abatware bategeka Abalevi gusingiza Uhoraho, baririmba indirimbo za Dawidi ni z’umuhanuzi Asafu, basingiza Uhoraho n’ibyishimo byinshi maze barapfukama baramuramya.

31 Nuko Hezekiya aravuga ati: “Noneho ubwo mwiyeguriye Uhoraho, nimwigire hino muzane ibitambo n’amaturo y’ishimwe mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho.”

Abari bateraniye aho bazana ibitambo n’amaturo y’ishimwe, naho abafite umutima w’ubushake bazana ibitambo bikongorwa n’umuriro.

32 Nuko bazana ibimasa mirongo irindwi, n’amapfizi y’intama ijana, n’abana b’intama magana abiri, byose babitambira Uhoraho ho ibitambo bikongorwa n’umuriro.

33 Ibindi bitambo byari bigizwe n’amatungo maremare magana atandatu, n’amatungo magufi ibihumbi bitatu.

34 Nyamara kubera ko abatambyi batari bahagije kugira ngo bashobore kubaga ayo matungo yose, Abalevi barabafashije kuva batangira kugeza barangiza, no kugeza igihe abatambyi bamariye kwihumanura. Abalevi bari batanze abatambyi kwihumanura. Koko rero Abalevi barushaga abatambyi umutima uboneye.

35 Ikindi kandi hari n’ibitambo byinshi bikongorwa n’umuriro, n’urugimbu rw’ibitambo by’ishimwe, n’amaturo asukwa y’ibyokunywa ajyana n’ibitambo bikongorwa n’umuriro. Bityo umuhango wo mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho uravugururwa.

36 Hezekiya n’ikoraniro ryose bishimira ibyo Imana yari yabakoreye, kubera ko yabafashije gukora ibyo byose mu gihe gito.

Hezekiya atumira Abisiraheli n’Abayuda ngo bizihize Pasika

1 Hezekiya atumira Abisiraheli n’Abayuda bose, yandikira n’Abefurayimu n’Abamanase kugira ngo baze i Yeruzalemu mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho, kwizihiza Pasika y’Uhoraho Imana ya Isiraheli.

2 Umwami n’ibyegera bye n’ikoraniro ryose ry’i Yeruzalemu, bari bemeje ko uwo munsi mukuru wa Pasika bazawizihiza mu kwezi kwa kabiri.

3 Koko rero ntibashoboye kuwizihiza mu gihe cyawo, kubera ko umubare w’abatambyi bihumanuye utari uhagije, kandi abantu bakaba batari bateraniye i Yeruzalemu.

4 Icyo cyemezo gishimisha umwami n’ikoraniro ryose.

5 Nuko bohereza inzandiko muri Isiraheli hose, kuva i Bērisheba kugera i Dani, batumira abantu kugira ngo bakoranire i Yeruzalemu kwizihiza Pasika y’Uhoraho Imana ya Isiraheli. Nyamara ntiyizihijwe n’abantu benshi nk’uko byari bitegetswe.

6 Izo nzandiko zoherejwe n’umwami n’ibyegera bye, intumwa zizijyana muri Isiraheli hose no mu Buyuda nk’uko umwami yabitegetse zivuga ziti: “Bantu ba Isiraheli, mwebwe mwarokotse umwami wa Ashūru, nimugarukire Uhoraho Imana ya Aburahamu na Izaki na Yakobo, na yo izabagarukira.

7 Ntimukabe nka ba sokuruza n’abavandimwe banyu bagomeye Uhoraho Imana ya ba sekuruza, none ikaba yarabatsembye nk’uko namwe mubyirebera.

8 Mwikwigomeka nka ba sokuruza, ahubwo nimuyoboke Uhoraho muze mu Ngoro ye yiyeguriye iteka ryose, mukorere Uhoraho Imana yanyu maze ireke kubarakarira.

9 Nimugarukira Uhoraho, abavandimwe banyu n’abana banyu bazagirirwa imbabazi, bityo n’abajyanywe ho iminyago bagaruke muri iki gihugu, kuko Uhoraho Imana yanyu ari umugwaneza n’umunyampuhwe, ntazabatererana nimumugarukira.”

10 Intumwa zizenguruka intara yose ya Efurayimu n’iya Manase kugera mu ntara ya Zabuloni, ariko rubanda barazisekaga bakazikwena.

11 Nyamara abantu bake mu Bashēri no mu Bamanase no mu Bazabuloni barumvira, baza i Yeruzalemu.

12 Mu Buyuda na ho Imana ituma bahuza umutima wo kubahiriza itegeko ry’umwami n’ibyegera bye, bashingiye ku ijambo ry’Uhoraho.

Hezekiya yizihiza Pasika

13 Mu kwezi kwa kabiri, abantu benshi bakoranira i Yeruzalemu kugira ngo bizihize iminsi mikuru y’imigati idasembuye. Ryari ikoraniro rinini cyane.

14 Nuko basenya intambiro zari zubatse i Yeruzalemu n’ibicaniro by’imibavu, babijugunya mu kabande ka Kedironi.

15 Ku itariki ya cumi n’enye z’ukwezi kwa kabiri, bica amatungo y’igitambo cya Pasika. Abatambyi n’Abalevi batihumanuye bakorwa n’isoni maze barihumanura, bazana ibitambo bikongorwa n’umuriro mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho.

16 Nuko bajya mu myanya yabo bakurikije Itegeko rya Musa umuntu w’Imana. Abalevi bazanye amaraso y’ibitambo bayahereza Abatambyi na bo bayamisha ku rutambiro.

17 Kubera ko abantu benshi batari bihumanuye, Abalevi babaga amatungo y’igitambo cya Pasika kigenewe buri muntu wese utari wihumanuye, kugira ngo batambire Uhoraho igitambo kitagira inenge.

18 Abantu benshi ntibari bihumanuye, cyane cyane abo mu Befurayimu n’abo mu Bamanase, n’abo mu ba Izakari no mu Bazabuloni, bariye Pasika banyuranyije n’ibyanditswe. Hezekiya abasabira avuga ati:

19 “Uhoraho Mana ya ba sokuruza gira impuhwe, maze ubabarire umuntu wese ugushaka abikuye ku mutima, nubwo yaba adakurikije itegeko ryo kwihumanura.”

20 Uhoraho yumva isengesho rya Hezekiya, arabababarira.

21 Nuko Abisiraheli bari baje i Yeruzalemu, bizihiza iminsi mikuru y’imigati idasembuye uko ari irindwi banezerewe cyane. Buri munsi Abalevi n’abatambyi basingizaga Uhoraho bakoresheje ibicurangisho bihambaye byagenewe uwo murimo.

22 Hezekiya ashimira Abalevi bose bakoranaga umurava umurimo w’Uhoraho.

Umusangiro wa kabiri

Abantu bamaze iyo minsi irindwi y’ibirori batura ibitambo by’umusangiro kandi basingiza Uhoraho Imana ya ba sekuruza.

23 Abari bateraniye aho bemeza ko bamara indi minsi irindwi bizihiza iminsi mikuru, bayimara banezerewe.

24 Hezekiya umwami w’u Buyuda yatanze ibimasa igihumbi n’intama ibihumbi birindwi, ibyegera bye bitanga ibimasa igihumbi n’intama ibihumbi icumi, kandi abatambyi benshi bari bihumanuye.

25 Ikoraniro ryose ry’Abayuda n’abatambyi n’Abalevi, n’abantu bose baturutse muri Isiraheli ndetse n’abanyamahanga bahatuye n’abatuye mu Buyuda, bari banezerewe.

26 Nuko i Yeruzalemu bose barishima, kuko kuva igihe cya Salomo mwene Dawidi umwami wa Isiraheli, nta birori nk’ibyo byigeze biba i Yeruzalemu.

27 Abatambyi n’Abalevi barahaguruka basabira abantu bari aho umugisha, Imana irabumva kuko amasengesho yabo yageze mu ijuru.
