Igitabo cya mbere cy’Abami 16:1-34
16 Nuko Yehova atuma Yehu+ umuhungu wa Hanani+ kugira ngo abwire Basha ibibi yari agiye kumuteza. Yaramubwiye ati:
2 “Nagukuye mu mukungugu nkugira umuyobozi w’ubwoko bwanjye bwa Isirayeli,+ ariko wiganye ibikorwa bibi bya Yerobowamu utuma abantu banjye bancumuraho, barandakaza bitewe n’ibyaha byabo.+
3 Ubwo rero, ngiye kurimbura Basha n’umuryango we. Umuryango we nzawugira nk’uwa Yerobowamu+ umuhungu wa Nebati.
4 Uwo mu muryango wa Basha uzapfira mu mujyi azaribwa n’imbwa, naho uzapfira kure y’umujyi azaribwa n’ibisiga.”
5 Andi mateka ya Basha, ni ukuvuga ibyo yakoze n’ibikorwa bye by’ubutwari, byanditse mu gitabo cy’ibyakozwe mu gihe cy’abami ba Isirayeli.
6 Nuko Basha arapfa,* bamushyingura i Tirusa;+ umuhungu we Ela aba ari we umusimbura aba umwami.
7 Nanone Yehova yatumye umuhanuzi Yehu umuhungu wa Hanani kuri Basha ngo amubwire ibibi yari agiye kumuteza we n’umuryango we, bitewe n’ibikorwa bye n’ibibi byose yakoreye Yehova akamurakaza, nk’uko abo mu muryango wa Yerobowamu bamurakaje, nanone bitewe n’uko yishe Nadabu.+
8 Mu mwaka wa 26 Umwami Asa ari ku butegetsi mu Buyuda, Ela umuhungu wa Basha yabaye umwami wa Isirayeli i Tirusa, amara imyaka ibiri ari ku butegetsi.
9 Igihe Ela yari yanyoye yasinze, ari i Tirusa mu nzu ya Arusa wari ushinzwe ibyo mu rugo rw’umwami i Tirusa, yagambaniwe n’umugaragu we Zimuri wayoboraga kimwe cya kabiri cy’abasirikare bagendera ku magare y’intambara.
10 Mu mwaka wa 27 w’ubutegetsi bwa Asa umwami w’u Buyuda, Zimuri yaraje yica Ela,+ aba ari we uba umwami.
11 Akimara kuba umwami, mbese acyicara ku ntebe y’ubwami, yahise yica abo mu muryango wa Basha bose.* Nta muntu n’umwe w’igitsina gabo* yasize, baba bene wabo cyangwa incuti ze.
12 Uko ni ko Zimuri yarimbuye abo mu muryango wa Basha bose, nk’uko Yehova yari yarabivuze igihe yamutumagaho umuhanuzi Yehu, akamubwira ko azagerwaho n’ibibi.+
13 Yamuhoye ibyaha byose Basha n’umuhungu we Ela bakoze n’ibyo batumye Abisirayeli bose bakora, bakarakaza Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli basenga ibigirwamana bitagira akamaro.+
14 Andi mateka ya Ela, ni ukuvuga ibintu byose yakoze, byanditse mu gitabo cy’ibyakozwe mu gihe cy’abami ba Isirayeli.
15 Mu mwaka wa 27 w’ubutegetsi bwa Asa umwami w’u Buyuda, Zimuri yabaye umwami i Tirusa, amara iminsi irindwi ku butegetsi. Icyo gihe ingabo z’Abisirayeli zari zaragose umujyi wa Gibetoni+ wari uw’Abafilisitiya.
16 Hanyuma ingabo z’Abisirayeli zari zihagose zumva abantu bavuga bati: “Zimuri yagambaniye umwami aramwica.” Nuko uwo munsi Abisirayeli bose bakiri aho mu nkambi, bashyiraho Omuri+ wari umugaba w’ingabo, aba umwami wa Isirayeli.
17 Omuri n’Abisirayeli bose bari kumwe na we bava i Gibetoni baragenda bagota Tirusa.
18 Zimuri abonye ko umujyi wafashwe, ahita yinjira ahantu hari umutekano kurusha ahandi mu nzu* y’umwami, arangije atwika iyo nzu na we ahiramo arapfa.+
19 Yazize ibyaha yakoze, kubera ko yakoze ibyo Yehova yanga, agakora ibyaha nk’ibyo Yerobowamu yakoze kandi agatuma Abisirayeli bacumura.+
20 Andi mateka ya Zimuri n’ubugambanyi bwe, yanditse mu gitabo cy’ibyakozwe mu gihe cy’abami ba Isirayeli.
21 Icyo gihe ni bwo Abisirayeli bigabanyijemo ibice bibiri. Igice kimwe cyakurikiye Tibuni umuhungu wa Ginati gishaka kumugira umwami, ikindi gice gikurikira Omuri.
22 Nuko abari bakurikiye Omuri batsinda abari bakurikiye Tibuni umuhungu wa Ginati maze Tibuni arapfa, Omuri aba ari we uba umwami.
23 Mu mwaka wa 31 w’ubutegetsi bwa Asa umwami w’u Buyuda, Omuri yabaye umwami wa Isirayeli, amara imyaka 12 ku butegetsi. Yamaze imyaka itandatu ari umwami i Tirusa.
24 Yaguze na Shemeri umusozi wa Samariya, awugura ibiro 68 by’ifeza,* maze kuri uwo musozi ahubaka umujyi. Uwo mujyi yawise Samariya,*+ awitiriye Shemeri wari nyiri uwo musozi.*
25 Omuri yakomeje gukora ibyo Yehova yanga. Yakoze ibintu bibi cyane kurusha abami bose bamubanjirije.+
26 Yakoze ibyaha byose nk’ibyo Yerobowamu umuhungu wa Nebati yakoze, anakora ibyaha byatumye Abisirayeli bacumura, bakarakaza Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli basenga ibigirwamana bitagira akamaro.+
27 Andi mateka ya Omuri, ni ukuvuga ibyo yakoze n’ibikorwa by’ubutwari yakoze, byanditse mu gitabo cy’ibyakozwe mu gihe cy’abami ba Isirayeli.
28 Nuko Omuri arapfa,* bamushyingura i Samariya; umuhungu we Ahabu+ aba ari we umusimbura aba umwami.
29 Mu mwaka wa 38 w’ubutegetsi bwa Asa umwami w’u Buyuda, Ahabu umuhungu wa Omuri yabaye umwami wa Isirayeli, amara imyaka 22 ategekera i Samariya.+
30 Ahabu umuhungu wa Omuri yakoze ibikorwa Yehova yanga, arusha abami bamubanjirije bose.+
31 Uretse no kuba yarakoze ibyaha nk’ibyo Yerobowamu+ umuhungu wa Nebati yakoze, yarenzeho ashaka Yezebeli+ umukobwa wa Etibayali umwami w’i Sidoni,+ maze atangira gukorera Bayali+ no kuyunamira.
32 Yubakiye Bayali igicaniro mu rusengero rwa Bayali+ yubatse i Samariya.
33 Nanone Ahabu yabaje inkingi y’igiti*+ yo gusenga, akora n’ibindi bibi byinshi arakaza Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli kurusha abami bose ba Isirayeli bamubanjirije.
34 Igihe Umwami Ahabu yari ku butegetsi, Hiyeli w’i Beteli yongeye kubaka Yeriko. Yubatse fondasiyo apfusha imfura ye Abiramu, yubatse amarembo apfusha bucura bwe witwaga Segubu, nk’uko Yehova yari yarabivuze akoresheje Yosuwa umuhungu wa Nuni.+
