3 Omo mwaka we 18 w’obutabali b’omwami Yehoshafati we Yuda, Yehoramu mughala wa Ahabu mwabya mwami we Israeli. Mwatabala oko myaka 12 iniane e Samaria.
2 Mwabya akakola ebituwene omo meso wa Yehova, aliwe mwatakolabyo omo lulengo lungaha n’olwa baba wiwe na mama wiwe, kundi mwalusya omo kihugho mw’enduyi nyibuyirire ya Baali eyo baba wiwe akokotaya.
3 Aliwe, mwakola amalolo awali ng’ogho Yeroboamu mughala wa Nebati aleka Abaisraeli ibakola. Mwataleka erikolagho.
4 Mesha omwami we Moabu abya iniakatunga esyombuli. Abya iniakaliha omwami we Israeli omuhako w’ebyana by’esyombuli 100 000 n’esyombangale 100 000 esitesyatwibwako obweya.
5 Ahabu mwabya abinahola, omwami we Moabu mwaghana obutabali bw’omwami we Israeli.
6 Oko biro ebyo, omwami Yehoramu mwaya e Samaria n’erihindania abasuda bosi be Israeli.
7 Kandi mwatuma omulaghe ono oko mwami Yehoshafati we Yuda: “Omwami we Moabu abirighana obutabali bwaghe. Unemwendiyaniwatikya erilwa n’abandu be Moabu?” Yehoshafati mwamusubirya ati: “Inga, ngendighenda naghu. Iwe naghe, tuli baghuma. Abasuda baghe n’abasuda baghu ni baghuma. Esyosabayiri* syaghe n’esyosabayiri syaghu ni sighuma.”
8 Enyuma sy’aho, Yehoshafati mwamubulya ati: “Tukendilaba omo nzira yahi?” Yehoramu mwamusubirya ati: “Tukendilaba omo mbwarara ye Edomu.”
9 Neryo omwami we Israeli, omwami we Yuda, n’omwami we Edomu mubaghenda. Mubayatimba hali, neryo mubabya babibugha ebiro 7, babya isibakiwite oko maghetse agho banganywa, n’ogho esyonyama esyo baghenda nasyo syanganywa.
10 Neryo omwami we Israeli mwabugha ati: “Buno si ni buhanya! Yehova mwakatubirikira itwe bami basatu busana n’erituhira tu omo byala by’Abamoabu!”
11 Neryo Yehoshafati mwamusubirya ati: “Hano sihali omuminyereri wa Yehova oyo twangabugha tuti atubuliraye Yehova emyatsi nga yikendighenda yiti?” Neryo omughuma w’oko baghombe b’omwami we Israeli mwasubirya ati: “Eno yine Elisha mughala wa Shafati, oyo wabya akuta maghetse oko byala bya Eliya.”*
12 Neryo Yehoshafati mwabugha ati: “Oyo akenditubwira ekyo Yehova anzire itwakola.” Neryo omwami we Israeli, Yehoshafati, n’omwami we Edomu mubayasungana na Elisha.
13 Elisha mwabwira omwami we Israeli ati: “Ukasyanironderaki. Ghenda, uyarondaye abaminyereri ba baba waghu n’abaminyereri ba mama waghu.” Aliwe omwami we Israeli mwamusubirya ati: “Iyehe, kundi Yehova yulyatubirikira itwe bami basatu atoke erituhira omo byala by’Abamoabu.”
14 Neryo Elisha mwabugha ati: “Oko kwenene-kwenene ngoko Yehova w’emilondo oyo ngakolera* aliho, nga nitalue nisikirye omwami Yehoshafati we Yuda, sinilyendikukebera n’ahake, kandi sinilyendikutsomana.
15 Neryo muniletere oyukawata enanga.” Oyukawata enanga* mwabya abinatsuka eriwatayo, ekirimu* kya Yehova mukyahika oko Elisha.
16 Neryo Elisha mwabugha ati, “Yehova ati: ‘Mutakule ebyuna omo musya oyu,
17 kundi Yehova ati: “Simwendilola oko rihunga, kandi simwendilola oko mbula; aliwe omusya oyu akendyusulamo amaghetse. Mukendinywa kugho, inywe, esyonyama syenyu, n’esindi nyama syenyu.”’
18 Ekyo ni kyolo oko Yehova kundi nibya akendihira n’Abamoabu omo byala byenyu.
19 Litolere imwahimbula emiyi yosi eyo mundu ateangahikamo bweghu-bweghu n’emiyi yosi eyuwene, imwakonda emiti yosi eyuwene, imwaliba esyongununuko syosi sy’amaghetse, n’eritsandya amalima wosi awuwene omw’ighusa mugho mw’amabwe.”
20 Omo tututu, oko mughulu w’eriherera obuhere bw’akalyo bw’omo tututu, amaghetse mwalw’iniahika akalua omo kihugho kye Edomu, n’omusya musulamo amaghetse.
21 Abamoabu bosi mubowa ngoko omwami we Israeli, omwami we Yuda, n’omwami we Edomu babirisyalwa nabo. Neryo Abaedomu mubabirikira abalume bosi abangatoka eriheka ebindu by’amalwa,* bamayimana oko mupaka w’ekihugho.
22 Mubabya babibuka omo tututu kutsibu, eryuba ryabya irinemupalya-palya oko maghetse, n’Abamoabu ababya oko lundi luhande ibo mubabya bakalangira amaghetse ayo ng’abiribya musasi.
23 Mubabugha bati: “Olya si ni musasi! Abami babiriitana omo muyali. Tuyeyo. Iwe Moabu, ghenda uyaheke ebindu byabo!”
24 Abamoabu mubabya babihika omo kambi y’Abaisraeli, Abaisraeli mubahangana n’eriita Abamoabu, neryo Abamoabu mubatibita. Abaisraeli mubayahika omo kihugho kye Moabu ibanemwitabo.
25 Mubahimbula emiyi, n’obuli mulume mwaghusa eribwe omo malima wosi aghuwene, neryo amalima ayo amusulamo amabwe. Mubaliba n’esyongununuko syosi sy’amaghetse, bamakonda n’emiti yosi eyuwene. Oluhimbo lw’amabwe lwe Kir-hareseti lo lwabya ilukinimene. Abasuda ababya n’emijeledi mubatimba kulo, bamahimbulalo.
26 Omwami we Moabu mwabya abilangira ngoko amabisingwa, mwimya abalume 700 abawite oko miyali batoke erilebya nga banganatura bati omo basuda batoke eriyahika eyiri omwami we Edomu; aliwe mubatatoka.
27 Neryo omwami we Moabu mwimya akambere kiwe akenditabala omo mwanya wiwe, amahererako mo buhere bw’eryokererya oko luhimbo olo. Neryo abandu mubahitana kutsibu oko mwami we Israeli, erihika oko kika bamalua omo kiharo ky’omwami we Moabu, bamasuba omo kihugho kyabo.
