Imana ituma Zakariya ku Bayahudi

1 Mu kwezi kwa munani mu mwaka wa kabiri Umwami Dariyusi ari ku ngoma, Uhoraho yatumye umuhanuzi Zakariya mwene Berekiya akaba n’umwuzukuru wa Ido,

2-3 ngo abwire Abayahudi ati: “Dore narakariye bikomeye ba sokuruza.” Ariko Uhoraho Nyiringabo aravuze ati: “Nimungarukire, nanjye nzabagarukira.

4 Ntimugakurikize imigenzereze ya ba sokuruza. Nabatumagaho abahanuzi ba kera, bakababwira kureka ingeso zabo mbi n’imigenzereze yabo mibi, ariko ntibabyiteho bakanga kunyumvira.

5 None se amaherezo ba sokuruza ntibashaje? Ese abahanuzi bo bari gutura nk’umusozi?

6 Nyamara amagambo n’amateka nahaye abagaragu banjye b’abahanuzi, byagize ingaruka kuri ba sokuruza. Na bo ubwabo bisubiyeho baravuga bati: ‘Koko Uhoraho Nyiringabo yaduhaye igihano gikwiranye n’ingeso zacu n’imigenzereze yacu, nk’uko yari yarabyiyemeje.’ ”

Iyerekwa rya mbere: amafarasi

7 Ku itariki ya makumyabiri n’enye z’ukwezi kwa Shebati, mu mwaka wa kabiri Umwami Dariyusi ari ku ngoma, Uhoraho yahaye ubutumwa Zakariya mwene Berekiya, akaba n’umwuzukuru wa Ido. Zakariya abivuga muri aya magambo:

8 Iri joro nabonekewe, mbona umuntu wicaye ku ifarasi y’igaju yari ihagaze mu kabande hagati y’uduti twitwa imihadasi. Inyuma ye hari andi mafarasi y’amagaju n’ay’ibihogo n’ay’ibitare.

9 Nuko ndamubaza nti: “Nyakubahwa, ariya mafarasi ashushanya iki?”

Umumarayika twavuganaga aransubiza ati: “Ngiye kukubwira icyo ashushanya.”

10 Nuko wa muntu wari mu duti aransobanurira ati: “Ariya mafarasi ni ayo Uhoraho yohereje ngo azenguruke isi.”

11 Abagenderaga kuri ayo mafarasi, babwira uwo mumarayika w’Uhoraho wari uhagaze mu duti tw’imihadasi bati: “Twazengurutse isi yose dusanga ituje, ifite amahoro.”

12 Nuko umumarayika w’Uhoraho arabaza ati: “Uhoraho Nyiringabo, dore umaze imyaka mirongo irindwiurakariye Yeruzalemu n’indi mijyi y’u Buyuda, mbese uzageza ryari kutayigirira impuhwe?”

13 Uhoraho ni ko gusubiza umumarayika twavuganaga, amubwira amagambo meza yo kumuhumuriza.

14 Nuko uwo mumarayika twavuganaga, ambwira gutangaza ubu butumwa bw’Uhoraho Nyiringabo ati: “Urukundo nkunda Yeruzalemu n’urwo nkunda umurenge wayo wa Siyoni rutuma mpafuhira cyane.

15 Ariko kandi uburakari mfitiye amahanga adamaraye na bwo ni bwinshi. Koko rero narakariye Yeruzalemu buhoro, maze ayo mahanga abyishingikirizaho arayisenya.”

16 None rero Uhoraho Nyiringabo aravuze ati: “Ngiye kugarukira Yeruzalemu nyigirire impuhwe, Ingoro yanjye izongera ihubakwe. Umujyi wa Yeruzalemu uzafatwa ingero wongere wubakwe.”

17 Wa mumarayika yungamo ati: “Tangaza kandi ubutumwa bw’Uhoraho Nyiringabo uti: ‘Imijyi yanjye nzongera nyisendereze ibyiza, Siyoni nongere nyihumurize na Yeruzalemu nongere nyigire umwihariko wanjye.’ ”

Iyerekwa rya kabiri: amahembe n’abacuzi

1 Nuko nongera kubonekerwa mbona amahembe ane.

2 Mbaza umumarayika twavuganaga, nti: “Mbese ariya mahembe ashushanya iki?”

Na we aransubiza ati: “Ariya mahembe ashushanya ibihugu by’ibihangange, byatatanyije Abayuda n’Abisiraheli n’abaturage ba Yeruzalemu.”

3 Hanyuma Uhoraho anyereka abacuzi bane.

4 Ndamubaza nti: “Bariya se bo baje gukora iki?”

Na we aransubiza ati: “Amahembe ni ibihugu by’ibihangange, byatatanyije Abayuda ku buryo nta wongeye kubyutsa umutwe. Naho bariya bacuzi bazanywe no guhashya no kurwanya ibyo bihugu by’ibihangange, byatatanyije abaturage b’u Buyuda.”

Iyerekwa rya gatatu: umugozi wo gupimisha

5 Nuko nongera kubonekerwa, mbona umugabo ufite mu ntoki umugozi wo gupimisha.

6 Ndamubaza nti: “Urajya he?”

Na we aransubiza ati: “Ngiye gupima ubugari n’uburebure bw’umujyi wa Yeruzalemu.”

7 Umumarayika twavuganaga agiye, ahura n’undi mumarayika uje amusanga.

8 Uwo twavuganaga abwira uwo mumarayika wundi ati: “Iruka ubwire wa mugabo ufite umugozi uti: ‘Umujyi wa Yeruzalemu ntuzagira urukuta ruwuzengurutse, kubera ko uzabamo imbaga y’abantu kimwe n’amatungo menshi.

9 Jyewe ubwanjye nzayibera nk’urukuta rw’umuriro ruyizengurutse, kandi nzaba muri yo rwagati nyiheshe ikuzo.’ ” Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

Uhoraho ahamagaza abajyanywe ho iminyago

10 Uhoraho aravuga ati:

“Yemwe abo natatanyirije mu byerekezo bine by’isi mwe,

nimutahuke muve mu gihugu cyo mu majyaruguru.

11 Yemwe abajyanywe ho iminyago mukomoka i Yeruzalemu mwe,

nimuhunge muve muri Babiloniya.”

12 Uhoraho Nyiringabo wanshinze kugeza ubutumwa bukomeye ku mahanga yabasahuye aravuze ati:

“Umuntu wese ugize icyo akora ku bwoko bwanjye, ni jye aba akoze mu jisho.

13 Koko rero ngiye guhagurukira ayo mahanga,

asahurwe n’abahoze ari inkoreragahato zayo.”

Bityo muzamenya ko Uhoraho Nyiringabo ari we wantumye.

14 Uhoraho aravuga ati:

“Yemwe baturage b’i Yeruzalemu mwe,

nimuvuze impundu murangurure,

dore nje gutura muri mwe.

15 Guhera uwo munsi amahanga menshi azifatanya nanjye,

azaba ubwoko bwanjye nyamara nzatura muri mwe.”

Bityo muzamenya ko Uhoraho Nyiringabo ari we wabantumyeho.

16 Igihugu cy’u Buyuda kizaba icy’Uhoraho,

kizaba igihugu cye kimweguriwe,

Yeruzalemu izongera ibe umurwa yitoranyirije.

17 Bantu mwese, nimutuze imbere y’Uhoraho,

dore ahagurutse mu Ngoro ye yo mu ijuru.

Iyerekwa rya kane: Umutambyi mukuru Yeshuwa

1 Nuko Uhoraho anyereka Umutambyi mukuru Yeshuwa, ahagaze imbere y’umumarayika w’Uhoraho. Satanina we yari ahagaze iburyo bwa Yeshuwa kugira ngo amushinje.

2 Uwo mumarayika w’Uhoraho abwira Satani ati: “Uhoraho nagukangare Satani we, koko Uhoraho witoranyirije Yeruzalemu nagukangare. Mbese Yeshuwa uyu si nk’agati karokotse inkongi y’umuriro?”

3 Yeshuwa kandi yari yambaye imyambaro yanduye, ahagaze imbere y’uwo mumarayika.

4 Nuko uwo mumarayika abwira abari aho ati: “Nimumwambure iyo myambaro yanduye.”

Hanyuma abwira Yeshuwa ati: “Dore nguhanaguyeho ibicumuro byawe, nkwambitse imyambaro y’agaciro.

5 Ntegetse kandi ko bakwambika ingofero isukuye y’ubutambyi.”

Nuko bamwambika ingofero isukuye n’imyambaro. Umumarayika w’Uhoraho yari aho.

6 Uwo mumarayika yihanangiriza Yeshuwa ati:

7 “Uhoraho Nyiringabo arakubwira ati:

‘Nukora ibintunganiye,

nusohoza imirimo nagushinze,

uzagenga Ingoro yanjye n’urugo rwayo,

nzagushyira ku rwego rw’abari hano bankorera.

8 Umva Yeshuwa Mutambyi mukuru,

nimwumve namwe batambyi bagenzi be,

ni mwe bimenyetso biranga ibyiza bizaza.

Dore ngiye kohereza umugaragu wanjye witwa Umushibuka.

9 Imbere ya Yeshuwa mpashyize ibuyerimwe rukumbi,

ni ibuye rya mpandendwi.

Jyewe ubwanjye nzaryandikaho inyandiko,

abaturage b’iki gihugu nzabahanaguraho ibicumuro byabo,

nzabikora mu munsi umwe rukumbi.

10 Kuri uwo munsi muzatumirana,

muzadendeza munsi y’imizabibu n’imitini,

mwishimire amahoro mufite.’ ”

Uko ni ko Uhoraho Nyiringabo avuze.

Iyerekwa rya gatanu: igitereko cy’amatara n’iminzenze

1 Umumarayika twavuganaga aragaruka arankomanga nk’ukangura umuntu uri mu bitotsi.

2 Arambaza ati: “Urabona iki?”

Ndamusubiza nti: “Ndabona igitereko cy’amatara cy’izahabu, gifite umukondo w’amavuta ku mutwe wacyo. Ku rugara rw’uwo mukondo, hari amatara arindwi afite imiyoboro irindwi ijyana amavuta mu ntambi zayo.

3 Ndabona kandi iminzenze ibiri, umwe iburyo undi ibumoso bw’umukondo.”

4 Nuko mbaza umumarayika twavuganaga nti: “Nyakubahwa, biriya bishushanya iki?”

5 Na we ati: “Mbese ntubizi?”

Ndamusubiza nti: “Oya Nyakubahwa.”

Amasezerano Zerubabeli yahawe

6 Wa mumarayika ambwira kandi kugeza ubu butumwa kuri Zerubabeliati: “Uhoraho Nyiringabo aravuze ati:

‘Ububasha bwawe cyangwa imbaraga zawe,

si byo bizagushoboza umurimo wanjye,

ahubwo uzawushobozwa na Mwuka wanjye.’

7 Zerubabeli we, ingoranezawe nubwo zingana umusozi nzazikuraho.

Ingoro yanjye uzayishyiraho ibuye ryo kuyisoza,

maze baritangarire bati:

‘Mbega ukuntu ari ryiza!

Mbega ukuntu ari ryiza! ’ ”

8 Nuko Uhoraho arantuma ati:

9 “Zerubabeli ni we washyize urufatiro kuri iyi Ngoro yanjye, kandi ni na we uzasoza imirimo y’ubwubatsi bwayo.

“Bityo muzamenya ko Uhoraho Nyiringabo ari we wantumye kuri mwe.

10 “Erega ntawe ukwiye guhinyura imirimo y’ibanze y’umushinga,

ahubwo muzishima mubonye Zerubabeli ashoje Ingoro,

ayishyizeho rya buye ryatoranyijwe.”

Ibisobanuro by’iyerekwa rya gatanu

Wa mumarayika arambwira ati: “Ya matara arindwi wabonye, ashushanya amaso y’Uhoraho ugenzura isi yose kugira ngo arebe ibiyikorerwaho.”

11 Ndongera ndamubaza nti: “Mbese iriya minzenze ibiri iri iburyo n’ibumoso bw’igitereko cy’amatara yo ishushanya iki?”

12 Ndakomeza nti: “Naho se ariya mashami abiri y’iminzenze ari iruhande rw’imiheha ibiri y’izahabu, ijyana amavuta y’iminzenze mu mukondo yo ashushanya iki?”

13 Na we ati: “Mbese na yo ntuzi icyo ashushanya?”

Ndamusubiza nti: “Oya Nyakubahwa.”

14 Nuko arambwira ati: “Ariya mashami ashushanya ba bagabobabiri Nyagasani umugenga w’isi yose yatoranyije, akabasiga amavuta kugira ngo bamukorere.”

Iyerekwa rya gatandatu: umuzingo w’igitabo

1 Nuko nongera kubonekerwa, ngiye kubona mbona umuzingo w’igitabo uguruka mu kirere.

2 Umumarayika arambaza ati: “Urabona iki?”

Ndamusubiza nti: “Ndabona umuzingo w’igitabo uguruka, ufite uburebure bwa metero icyenda n’ubugari bwa metero enye n’igice.”

3 Nuko arambwira ati: “Uwo muzingo w’igitabo ukubiyemo ibyerekeye umuvumo ugiye gukwira igihugu cyose. Ku ruhande rwawo rumwe, handitse ko abajura bagiye kumeneshwa mu gihugu. Naho ku rundi ruhande, handitse ko abarahira ibinyoma na bo bagiye kumeneshwa.

4 Uhoraho Nyiringabo aravuze ati: ‘Ni jye uteje uwo muvumo. Uzagera ku nzu y’umujura wese no ku nzu y’umuntu wese urahira izina ryanjye ibinyoma maze uzokame, uzisenye zishireho uhereye kuri mwikorezi yazo n’amabuye azubatse.’ ”

Iyerekwa rya karindwi: umugore uri mu giseke

5 Umumarayika twavuganaga aransanga arambwira ati: “Dore kiriya kintu gitungutse hariya!”

6 Ndamubaza nti: “Kiriya ni iki?”

Aransubiza ati: “Ni igiseke kirimo ibicumuro by’abatuye igihugu cyose.”

7 Icyo giseke cyari gifite umutemeri w’icyuma kiremereye upfundutse, mbona umugore wicaye muri icyo giseke.

8 Umumarayika arambwira ati: “Uriya mugore ashushanya ubugome bwose.” Nuko amusunikira mu giseke akubitaho wa mutemeri w’icyuma.

9 Nongeye kureba mbona abagore babiri baratungutse. Bagurukaga mu muyaga bafite amababa nk’ay’igishondabagabo. Nuko bafata cya giseke bagitumbagirana mu kirere.

10 Mbaza umumarayika twavuganaga nti: “Mbese kiriya giseke bakijyanye he?”

11 Aransubiza ati: “Bakijyanye muri Babiloniya, ni ho bazubakira wa mugore ingoro. Nimara kuzura bazubakamo uruhimbi bamuhagarikeho, ahagume iteka.”

Iyerekwa rya munani: amagare ane y’intambara

1 Na none nongera kubonekerwa, ngiye kubona mbona amagare ane y’intambara, aturutse hagati y’imisozi ibiri y’umuringa.

2 Igare rya mbere ryakururwaga n’amafarasi y’amagaju, irya kabiri rigakururwa n’ay’imikara,

3 irya gatatu ryakururwaga n’ay’ibitare, naho irya kane rigakururwa n’amafarasi y’ibihogo by’umusengo.

4 Nuko mbaza umumarayika twavuganaga nti: “Nyakubahwa, biriya bishushanya iki?”

5 Aransubiza ati: “Biriya ni imiyaga yo mu byerekezo bine by’isi, ikaba ivuye mu ijuru imbere ya Nyagasani Umugenga w’isi yose.”

6 Igare rikururwa n’amafarasi y’imikara rirerekeza mu gihugu cyo mu majyaruguru,amafarasi y’ibitare ari burikurikire. Naho amafarasi y’imisengo arerekeza mu gihugu cyo mu majyepfo.

7 Amafarasi y’ibihogoyo afite umwete wo kuzenguruka isi. Uwo mumarayika arayabwira ati: “Ngaho nimugende muyizenguruke.” Ayo mafarasi ahita ajya kuzenguruka isi.

8 Nuko arampamagara arambwira ati: “Ntureba ariya mafarasi yerekeje mu gihugu cyo mu majyaruguru, agiye gucubya umujinya Uhoraho yari afitiye icyo gihugu.”

Ikamba ryo kwambika Yeshuwa

9 Uhoraho arambwira ati:

10 “Abayahudi bakiri aho bajyanywe ho iminyago, bohereje impano zazanywe na Helidayi na Tobiya na Yedaya. None uyu munsi ujye kwa Yosiya mwene Sefaniya, ni ho bacumbitse bavuye i Babiloni.

11 Wakire ifeza n’izahabu bazanye ubikoremo ikamba, uryambike Umutambyi mukuru Yeshuwa mwene Yosadaki”.

12 Umubwire ngo: “Uhoraho Nyiringabo aravuze ati:

‘Umuntu witwa Umushibukaazasagamba,

maze anyubakire Ingoro.

13 Koko ni we uzanyubakira Ingoro,

azagira icyubahiro gikwiye umwami,

azicara ku ntebe ye ya cyami abe umwami uganje.

Umutambyi mukuru na we azicara ku ntebe ye,

maze hagati yabo bombi habe ubwumvikane bwuzuye.’

14 Rya kamba rizagume mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho, ribe urwibutso rw’impano zazanywe na Helidayina Tobiya na Yedaya, n’urw’ubuntu Yosiya mwene Sefaniya yagize.

15 Abantu bazaturuka iyo giterwa inkingi bubake Ingoro yanjye.”

Bityo muzamenya ko Uhoraho Nyiringabo ari we wantumye kuri mwe.

Ibyo byose bizaba, nimwumvira koko Uhoraho Imana yanyu uko bikwiye.

Uhoraho agaya kwigomwa kurya gushingiye ku buryarya

1 Ku itariki ya kane y’ukwezi kwa Kisilevu, mu mwaka wa kane Umwami Dariyusi ari ku ngoma, Uhoraho yatumye Zakariya.

2 Abanyabeteli bari barohereje intumwa ziyobowe na Sareseri na Regemeleki ngo zijye gutakambira Uhoraho

3 kandi zibaze abatambyi b’Ingoro y’Uhoraho Nyiringabo kimwe n’abahanuzi ziti: “Mbese mu kwezi kwa gatanu tuzakomeza kurira no kwigomwa kurya nk’uko tumaze imyaka myinshi tubikora?”

4 Nuko Uhoraho Nyiringabo antuma

5 kubaza abaturage bose n’abatambyi ati: “Hashize imyaka mirongo irindwi mwigomwa kurya, kandi mugaragaza n’umubabaro mu kwezi kwa gatanu no mu kwa karindwi. Mbese koko mwigomwa kurya ari jye mubigirira?

6 Iyo murya n’iyo munywa si mwe muba mwishimisha?”

7 Ibyo ni byo Uhoraho yavugaga atumye abahanuzi ba kera, igihe abaturage b’i Yeruzalemu n’abo mu mijyi ihakikije bari mu mahoro, n’igihe akarere k’amajyepfo n’ak’imisozi migufi y’iburengerazuba twari dutuwe.

Kutumvira ni intandaro yo kwirukanwa mu gihugu

8-9 Nyuma Uhoraho Nyiringabo atuma Zakariya kubwira abantu ibyo yategetse ati: “Mujye mucira abantu imanza zitabera, mugirirane urukundo n’impuhwe.

10 Ntimugakandamize abapfakazi n’impfubyi n’abanyamahanga bari iwanyu n’abakene, kandi ntimukagambirire kugirira abandi nabi.”

11 Nyamara abantu banze kumvira bagamika amajosi, biziba amatwi ngo batumva.

12 Banangiye imitima yabo iba nk’urutare, banga kwita ku nyigisho n’amagambo Uhoraho Nyiringabo yabagejejeho atumye Mwuka wakoresheje abahanuzi ba kera. Bityo Uhoraho Nyiringabo arabarakarira cyane,

13 maze aravuga ati: “Ubwo nabahamagaye bakanga kunyumvira, na bo barantabaje nanga kubumva.

14 Nabatatanyirije mu mahanga batari bazi. Basiga igihugu cyabo ari amatongo, nta muntu ukinjiramo cyangwa ngo agisohokemo. Nuko icyo gihugu cy’igikundiro bagihindura amatongo.”

Uhoraho asezeranya Yeruzalemu amahoro n’umugisha

1 Uhoraho Nyiringabo yarantumye ati:

2 “Urukundo nkunda Siyoni ni rwinshi,

rutuma nyifuhira birenze urugero.”

Uko ni ko Uhoraho Nyiringabo avuze.

3 Uhoraho aravuze ati:

“Dore ngiye kugaruka i Yeruzalemu,

nongere nyituremo ku musozi wa Siyoni.

Yeruzalemu izitwa umujyi w’abanyamurava,

yitwe umusozi w’Uhoraho Nyiringabo,

yitwe umusozi we yitoranyirije.”

4 Uhoraho Nyiringabo arakomeza ati:

“Abasaza n’abakecuru bazongera bicare ku mihanda y’i Yeruzalemu,

bishingikirije utubando kubera izabukuru.

5 Abana b’abahungu n’abakobwa bazuzura imihanda y’i Yeruzalemu,

bazayikiniramo.”

6 Uhoraho Nyiringabo aravuze ati:

“Nubwo itsinda ry’abasigaye ryatangara,

rikavuga riti: ‘Ntibizashoboka!’

jyewe nzatuma bibaho.”

Uko ni ko Uhoraho Nyiringabo avuze.

7 Uhoraho Nyiringabo aravuze ati:

“Dore ngiye kurokora abantu banjye,

mbakure mu bihugu by’iburasirazuba no mu by’iburengerazuba.

8 Nzabagarura bature i Yeruzalemu,

bazaba ubwoko bwanjye, nanjye mbe Imana yabo,

mbayobore mu kuri no mu butabera.”

9 Uhoraho Nyiringabo aravuze ati:

“Nimukomere mwebwe mwari muhari,

wa munsi urufatiro rw’Ingoro yanjye rushyirwaho.

Uwo munsi mwumvise ya magambo abahanuzi babagejejeho,

ngo Ingoro yanjye igomba kongera kubakwa.

10 Mbere yaho nta muntu wahemberwaga umurimo yakoze,

n’itungo ntiryahemberwaga umurimo waryo.

Abagenzi bagendaga bikanga abanzi,

nta mutekano wari mu gihugu,

kuko nari nashyize umwiryane mu bantu.

11 Ariko ubu itsinda ry’abasigaye b’ubu bwoko,

simbagenza nk’uko nagenje abo mu gihe cyashize.”

Uko ni ko Uhoraho Nyiringabo avuze.

12 Arongera ati: “Nzasākāza amahoro mu gihugu,

imizabibu ihunde imbuto,

ubutaka burumbuke,

ijuru rizagusha imvura y’urujojo.

Ibyo byiza byose nzabiha abasigaye b’ubu bwoko ho umunani.

13 Mwa Bayuda mwe, namwe mwa Bisiraheli mwe,

dore ngiye kubarokora.

Aho abanyamahanga babagejeje babita ibivume,

ni ho bazageza babita abahawe umugisha.

Nimukomere mwitinya!”

14 Uhoraho Nyiringabo aravuze ati:

“Ubwo nari maze kwiyemeza kubagirira nabi,

kuko ba sokuruza bari bamaze kundakaza,

sinigeze nisubiraho.

15 Ariko ubu niyemeje kugirira neza abatuye i Yeruzalemu,

kimwe n’abatuye u Buyuda bwose.

Nuko rero mwitinya.

16 Dore ibyo mugomba gukora:

umuntu wese ajye abwiza mugenzi we ukuri,

mu nkiko zanyu mucire abantu imanza zitabera kandi zizana amahoro.

17 Ntimukagambirire kugirirana nabi,

kandi ntimugakunde kurahira ibinyoma,

kuko nanga bene ibyo bikorwa byose.”

Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

Iminsi yo kwigomwa kurya izahinduka iminsi y’ibyishimo

18 Uhoraho Nyiringabo yarantumye ati:

19 “Iminsi yo kwigomwa kuryamugira mu kwezi kwa kane no mu kwa gatanu, no mu kwa karindwi no mu kwa cumi, izabera Abayuda iminsi y’umunezero n’ibyishimo n’imyidagaduro. Nuko rero mujye mukunda ukuri n’amahoro.” Uko ni ko Uhoraho Nyiringabo avuze.

20 Uhoraho Nyiringabo aravuze ati:

“Abanyamahanga batuye mu mijyi myinshi bazaza,

21 abavuye mu mujyi umwe bazasanga abo mu wundi,

bababwire bati:

‘Nimuze tujye gutakambira Uhoraho,

dushake Uhoraho Nyiringabo.

Twebwe tugiyeyo.’

22 Bityo abantu benshi ndetse n’abo mu mahanga akomeye,

bazaza i Yeruzalemu gushaka Uhoraho Nyiringabo no kumutakambira.”

23 Uhoraho Nyiringabo aravuze ati: “Muri iyo minsi abagabo icumi bavuga indimi zitari zimwe, z’amoko atari amwe, bazihambira ku Muyahudi umwe. Bazafata ikinyita cy’umwambaro we maze bamubwire bati: ‘Turashaka kujyana namwe kuko twumvise ko Imana iri kumwe namwe.’ ”

Urubanza ruzaba ku bihugu bituranye na Isiraheli

1 Ngiyi imiburo yaturutse ku Uhoraho.

Uhoraho yibasiye intara ya Hadaraki,

ashinze ibirindiro i Damasi.

Koko rero imiryango y’Abisiraheli kimwe n’abandi bantu bose,

bahanze Uhoraho amaso.

2 Yibasiye kandi Lebo-Hamati,

umujyi uhereranye n’uwa Damasi.

Yibasiye uwa Tiri n’uwa Sidoni,

nubwo abayituye ari abanyabwenge cyane.

3 Abanyatiri biyubakiye ikigo ntamenwa,

birundanyiriza ifeza nk’urundanya umukungugu,

birundanyiriza n’izahabu nk’urunda icyondo mu nzira.

4 Nyamara dore Nyagasani agiye kwigarurira Tiri,

inkuta zayo azazihirika mu nyanja,

Tiri yose ayihe inkongi y’umuriro.

5 Abanyashikeloni bazabibona bashye ubwoba,

naho Abanyagaza bibababaze cyane.

Abanyekuroni na bo bizabagendekera bityo,

kuko bazaba batagifite inkunga ya Tiri.

Umwami w’i Gaza azicwa,

Ashikeloni ntihazongera guturwa,

6 naho Ashidodi hazaturwa n’uruvange rw’amoko.

Uhoraho aravuze ati:

“Uko ni ko nzamaraho ubwirasi bw’Abafilisiti.

7 Nzababuza kurya inyama zirimo amaraso n’ibyokurya bizira.

Bityo abazaba bakiriho bazaba abanjye,

mbabare mu mazu akomoka kuri Yuda.

Abanyekuroni na bo nzabagira abanjye,

nk’uko nagenjereje Abayebuzi.

8 Nzarinda ubwoko bwanjye,

nkumīre ibitero by’ababisha babwo,

ntawe uzongera kubukandamiza,

kuko uhereye ubu ngiye kuba maso nkaburinda.”

Umwami uzazana amahoro

9 Nimwishime cyane baturage b’i Siyoni!

Muvuze impundu, baturage b’i Yeruzalemu!

Dore umwami wanyu aje abasanga,

ni intabera kandi araganje.

Nyamara yicishije bugufi, ahetswe n’indogobe,

ndetse ahetswe n’icyana cy’indogobe.

10 Azatsemba amagare y’intambara mu ntara ya Efurayimu,

atsembe n’abarwanira ku mafarasi muri Yeruzalemu.

Azavunagura imiheto y’intambara,

asakaze amahoro mu mahanga yose.

Azategeka ahereye ku nyanja imwe ageze ku yindi,

ahere no ku ruzi rwa Efurati ageze ku mpera z’isi.

Irekurwa ry’abajyanywe ho iminyago

11 Kandi Uhoraho aravuga ati:

“Kubera Isezerano nagiranye namwe,

rigashimangirwa n’amaraso y’ibitambo,

narekuye imfungwa zari zifungiye mu rwobo rutagira amazi.

12 Yemwe abafunzwe mufite icyizere mwe,

nimusubire i Yeruzalemu mu murwa wanyu ntamenwa!

Uyu munsi ndabamenyesha ko nzabashumbusha ibyanyu incuro ebyiri.

13 Koko rero nzatamika umwambi ari wo Befurayimu,

mfore umuheto wanjye, ari wo Bayuda,

nkure inkota yanjye mu rwubati ari yo Banyasiyoni,

ndwanye Abagereki.”

14 Uhoraho aziyerekana hejuru y’abantu be,

imyambi ye igende nk’umurabyo.

Uhoraho Nyagasani azavuza impanda,

aze mu ishuheri ituruka mu majyepfo.

15 Uhoraho Nyiringabo azabarinda,

batsembe ababisha babo barwanisha imihumetso.

Bazasahinda nk’abanyoye inzoga,

ikabuzura nk’uko inzabya zuzura amaraso,

aminjagirwa ku mahembe y’inguni z’urutambiro.

16 Uwo munsi Uhoraho Imana yabo izabakiza,

nk’uko umushumba akiza umukumbi we.

Bazayibera nk’amabuye y’agaciro atatse ikamba,

arabagirana mu gihugu cyayo.

17 Mbega ihirwe bazaba bafite!

Mbega ukuntu bazaba ari beza!

Abasore n’inkumi bazasugira basagambe,

kubera ingano na divayi nshya.

Isezerano ryo gucungurwa

1 Musabe Uhoraho imvura y’itumba,

Uhoraho ni we uhindisha inkuba,

akagusha imvura y’umurindi,

agatohagiza imyaka yo mu mirima ya buri muntu.

2 Nyamara ibishushanyo musenga birababeshya,

ibyo abapfumu berekwa ni ibinyoma,

inzozi zabo zivuga ibitabaho,

bakizeza abantu ibidafite ishingiro.

Ni cyo gituma abantu babuyera,

bakamera nk’intama zikeneshejwe,

kubera ko zidafite umushumba.

3 Uhoraho aravuze ati:

“Narakariye abanyamahanga bayobora ubwoko bwanjye,

none mpagurukiye kubahana.”

Koko rero Uhoraho Nyiringabo azita ku bwoko bwe,

ari bwo rubyaro rwa Yuda,

arugire nk’ifarasi y’intwari ajyana ku rugamba.

4 Mu rubyaro rwa Yuda hazakomoka uzamera nk’ibuye ry’insanganyarukuta,

utajegajega nk’urubambo rukomeza ihema,

akaba nk’umuheto ku rugamba.

Muri urwo rubyaro kandi hazakomoka abategetsi b’ingeri zose.

5 Bazitwara nk’intwari ku rugamba,

zidatinya guca mu cyondo.

Kubera ko Uhoraho azaba ari kumwe na bo,

bazarwana intambara,

batsinde abanzi babo barwanira ku mafarasi.

6 Uhoraho aravuze ati:

“Abakomoka kuri Yuda nzabagira ibihangange,

abakomoka kuri Yozefunzabacungura,

nzabagirira impuhwe mbagarure mu gihugu cyabo.

Bazamera nk’aho ntigeze mbareka,

nsubize amasengesho yabo,

kuko ndi Uhoraho Imana yabo.

7 Abefurayimu bazamera nk’intwari,

badabagire nk’abahaze divayi.

Abana babo bazabireba banezerwe,

bazishima babikesha Uhoraho.

8 Nzahamagaza abantu banjye mbakoranye,

kuko nzaba narabacunguye.

Bazongera babe benshi nk’uko kera bari benshi.

9 Nabatatanyirije mu mahanga,

nyamara nubwo bazaba bari muri ibyo bihugu bya kure,

bazanyibuka.

Bo n’abana babo bazabayo, amaherezo batahuke.

10 Nzabavana mu gihugu cya Misiri,

mbavane no mu cya Ashūru,

mbakoranye mbatuze iwabo,

kubera ko basagutse igihugu cyabo,

nzabatuza no mu karere k’i Gileyadin’i Libani.

11 Bazambuka inyanjay’akaga,

nanjye Uhoraho nzacyaha umuhengeri w’iyo nyanja,

kandi amazi maremare y’uruzi rwa Nili azakama.

Ubwirasi bwa Ashūru buzashiraho,

igihugu cya Misiri kinyagwe ubutegetsi.

12 Naho abantu banjye nzabagira ibihangange,

bakore ibinshimisha.”

Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.
