UZI impamvu uyu muntu arimo asenga Yehova? Kuki yarambitse ayo mabaruwa imbere y’igicaniro cya Yehova? Uyu ni Hezekiya. Ni umwami wa ya miryango ibiri ya Isirayeli y’amajyepfo. Kandi ari mu kaga gakomeye. Kubera iki?

Ni ukubera ko ingabo z’Abashuri zari zaramaze kurimbura ya miryango 10 y’amajyaruguru. Ibyo Yehova yari yararetse bibaho bitewe n’uko abo bantu bari babi cyane. None dore izo ngabo z’Abashuri zari zije kurwanya ubwami by’iyo miryango ibiri na bwo.

Umwami wa Ashuri yari amaze koherereza Hezekiya amabaruwa. Ayo mabaruwa ni yo Hezekiya yashyize imbere y’Imana. Yari arimo amagambo yo kunnyega Yehova no kubwira Hezekiya ko agomba kwemera ko atsinzwe. Ni yo mpamvu Hezekiya yasenze agira ati ‘Yehova, dukize umwami wa Ashuri. Nuko amahanga yose azamenya ko ari wowe Mana wenyine.’ Ese Yehova yari kumva Hezekiya?

Hezekiya yari umwami mwiza. Ntiyari ameze nk’abami babi b’ubwami bwa ya miryango 10 ya Isirayeli, cyangwa nka se Ahazi wari umwami mubi. Hezekiya yari yaragiye yitondera amategeko ya Yehova yose. Nuko Hezekiya amaze gusenga, ni bwo umuhanuzi Yesaya yamwohererezaga ubutumwa bwari buturutse kuri Yehova, bugira buti ‘umwami wa Ashuri ntazinjira muri Yerusalemu. Ndetse nta n’umwe mu ngabo ze uzayegera. Nta mwambi n’umwe bazarasa kuri uyu murwa.’

Reba ishusho iri kuri iyi paji. Aba basirikare bose bapfuye, waba uzi abo ari bo? Ni Abashuri. Yehova yohereje umumarayika we, yica ingabo z’Abashuri zigera ku 185.000 mu ijoro rimwe. Nuko umwami wa Ashuri atsindwa atyo, maze asubira iwe.

Ibyo byatumye ubwami bwa ya miryango ibiri burokoka, maze rubanda bagira amahoro mu gihe runaka. Ariko Hezekiya amaze gupfa, umuhungu we Manase ni we wabaye umwami. Manase n’umuhungu we Amoni wamusimbuye babaye abami babi cyane. Nuko igihugu cyongera kuzuramo ubugizi bwa nabi n’urugomo. Nyuma yo gupfa k’Umwami Amoni, umuhungu we Yosiya yarimitswe aba umwami w’ubwami bwa ya miryango ibiri.
