7 Emyatsi yabya yitya kundi abandu be Israeli mubakolera Yehova oMungu wabo y’amalolo, oMungu oyo wabalusaya omo kihugho kye Misri n’omo bukobe bwa Farao omwami we Misri. Mubaramya* eyindi miungu,
8 mubakwama emibere y’ebihanda ebyo Yehova abya iniabirilusya embere syabo, mubakwama n’emyatsi eyo abami be Israeli bahiraho.
9 Abaisraeli mubabya bakakwamirira emyatsi eyatabya yuwene eyo Yehova oMungu wabo atabya anzire. Mubataleka erihimba emyanya y’endata omo miyi yabo yosi, hyangabya hileberyo, kutse emiyi eyo mundu ateangahikamo bweghu-bweghu.*
10 Mubabya bakayimanirya esyonduyi nyibuyirire n’emiti mibuyirire* oko buli katwa n’omo ndina y’obuli muti owaboghire.
11 Babya ibakatumbaya omuki w’amahere omo buli mwanya w’endata ngoko ebihanda ebyo Yehova atwala omo bunyewa embere syabo byakola. Mubabya bakakola emyatsi mibi busana n’erihitania Yehova.
12 Mubataleka eriramya esyosanamu esikita esyonye,* nomo Yehova anabya iniabiribabwira ati: “Isimwakola mutya!”
13 Yehova mwataleka erikunga abandu be Israeli n’abe Yuda erilabira abaminyereri biwe bosi n’abalangiri biwe bosi, ababya bakababwira bati: “Muleke emibere yenyu mibi! Musikaye emighambo yaghe n’ebihano byaghe ngoko emighambo yosi eyo naha abotata-kulu wenyu n’eyo nababwira erilabira abaghombe baghe abaminyereri yibughire.”
14 Aliwe mubatowa, mubataleka eribyamo erighundu* ng’abotata-kulu wabo abatikiriraya Yehova, oMungu wabo.
15 Mubaghana emighambo yiwe n’endaghane eyo akola haghuma n’abotata-kulu wabo n’ebibukyo ebyo abya akabaha atoke eribakunga. Mubabya bakaramya esyosanamu esite na mughaso, neryo nabo mubatabya na mughaso, busana n’erikwama emibere y’ebihanda ebyabya bibatimbireko ebyo Yehova abugha ati isibakola ngoko bikakola.
16 Mubaleka erikwama emighambo ya Yehova, oMungu wabo; kandi mubakokotya esyosamu sy’ebyana bibiri by’esyonde omo metale eyo balyayeyukaya, mubakokotya n’omuti mubuyirire,* kandi mubakukamira ebindu byosi ebiri elubula, bamakolera na Baali.

18 Neryo Yehova mwahitana oko Baisraeli ko kutsibu, erihika oko kika amabalusya omo meso wiwe. Ekihanda kya Yuda kisa ky’anasigha omo kihugho.
19 Nibya n’abandu be Yuda mubatakwama emighambo ya Yehova, oMungu wabo. Nabo mubakwama emibere eyo bandu be Israeli babya bakakwama.
20 Yehova mwalekerania abana bosi ba Israeli kandi mwakanganiabo ngoko si kindu, kandi amahirabo omo byala by’ababandi abakapura ebindu. Mwakola atya erihika omughulu abalusaya omo meso wiwe.
21 Mwalusya abandu be Israeli oko kihanda kya Daudi. Neryo abandu be Israeli mubayira Yeroboamu mughala wa Nebati mo mwami. Aliwe Yeroboamu mwaleka abandu be Israeli ibatakwama Yehova, mwaleka ibakola erilolo erikalire.
22 Kandi abandu be Israeli mubataleka erikola amalolo wosi agho Yeroboamu akola. Mubataleka erikolagho
23 erihika omughulu Yehova abalusaya omo meso wiwe, ngoko abya iniabiribugha erilabira abaghombe biwe bosi abaminyereri. Neryo abandu be Israeli mubatwalwa omo bunyewa mwe Asiria. Yo bakine erihika na munabwire.
24 Neryo omwami we Asiria mwalusya abandu be Babiloni, Kuta, Ava, Hamati, ne Sefarvaimu, amayabikalya omo miyi ye Samaria eyo Baisraeli babya bikere embere. Mubimya omuyi we Samaria n’erikala omo miyi eyitimbire kugho.
25 Mubabya babitsuka erikala e Samaria, mubatasagha* Yehova. Neryo Yehova mwatuma esyosimba omo kati-kati kabo, syamita abandu bangyi.
26 Mubayabwira omwami we Siria ambu: “Abandu abo ulyatwala omo bunyewa mwe Samaria n’eribikalya omo miyi ye Samaria sibasi ngoko oMungu w’omo kihugho ekyo akaramibawa.* Neryo oMungu oyo kw’anemubatumako esyosimba, neryo esyosimba esyo sinemubita, kundi sihali oyo wasi ngoko oMungu w’ekihugho ekyo akaramibawa.”
27 Neryo omwami we Asiria mwabugha ati: “Musubayeyo omuhereri mughuma oyo mulyaleta omo bunyewa, ayikaleyo n’eribakangirirya ngoko oMungu w’ekihugho ekyo akaramibawa.”
28 Neryo omuhereri mughuma oyo balusaya e Samaria bakamutwala omo bunyewa mwasuba e Beteli, amikalayo. Mwatsuka erikangirirya abandu ngoko bangasagha* Yehova.
29 Neryo obuli kihanda ekyayikala e Samaria mukyayikokoterya omungu wakyo. Neryo mubahira emiungu eyo omo manyumba w’eriramiryamo awabya omo myanya y’endata eyo Basamaria bahimba; abandu b’omo buli kihanda mubakola batya omo miyi eyo babya bikeremo.
30 Abandu be Babiloni mubakokotya esanamu ya Sukoti-benoti, abandu be Kuti mubakokotya esanamu ya Nergali, abandu be Hamati mubakokotya esanamu ya Ashima,
31 n’abandu be Ava mubakokotya esanamu ya Nibazi n’eya Tartaki. Abasefarvi mubabya bakahisirya abana babo bo Adrameleki na Anameleki, emiungu ye Sefarvaimu.
32 Babya bakasagha Yehova, aliwe mubasombola abandu ni bandu, bamabayira mo bahereri abakendibya bakakolera omo myanya y’endata. Abahereri abo bo babya bakabasondola omughulu babya bakayaramirya omo manyumba w’eriramiryamo awabya omo myanya y’endata.

34 Erihika na munabwire, abandu abo bakinakwama ebisomo byabo bya kera. Omw’ibo simuli n’oyukaramaya Yehova, kandi simuli n’oyukasikaya ebyalayiro biwe, ebihano biwe, Emighambo, n’eby’erighenderako ebyo Yehova aha baghala ba Yakobo, Yakobo oyo Mungu aha erindi rina, ni bugha ambu, Israeli.
35 Omughulu Yehova akola endaghane n’abandu be Israeli, mwababwira ati: “Isimwasagha eyindi miungu, kandi isimwakukamirayo, kutse erikolerayo kutse erihererayo amahere.
36 Aliwe Yehova, oyo wabalusaya e Misiri omo kaghala kanene n’omo kuboko kwiwe kw’amaka, yo litolere imwasagha. Iye yo litolere imwakukamira, kandi iye yo litolere imwaherera amahere.

39 Aliwe Yehova, oMungu wenyu, yo litolere imwasagha, kundi yukendisyabalusya omo byala by’esyonzighu syenyu syosi.”
40 Aliwe abandu abo mubatowa, mubataleka ekisomo kyabo kya kera.
