Igitabo cya mbere cy’Abami 22:1-53
22 Hashize imyaka itatu nta ntambara ziba hagati ya Siriya na Isirayeli.
2 Mu mwaka wa gatatu Yehoshafati+ umwami w’u Buyuda yaramanutse ajya kwa Ahabu umwami wa Isirayeli.+
3 Nuko umwami wa Isirayeli abwira abagaragu be ati: “Ese ubwo muzi ko umujyi wa Ramoti-gileyadi+ ari uwacu? None se kuki tutajya kuwambura umwami wa Siriya?”
4 Umwami abaza Yehoshafati ati: “Ese tuzajyana gutera umujyi wa Ramoti-gileyadi?” Yehoshafati asubiza umwami wa Isirayeli ati: “Njye nawe turi umwe. Abantu banjye ni na bo bawe. Amafarashi yanjye ni na yo yawe.”+
5 Icyakora Yehoshafati abwira umwami wa Isirayeli ati: “Ndakwinginze banza ugishe Yehova inama.”+
6 Umwami wa Isirayeli atumaho abahanuzi kandi bose hamwe bageraga kuri 400. Arababaza ati: “Ese ntere Ramoti-gileyadi, cyangwa mbireke?” Baramusubiza bati: “Yitere, Yehova azatuma uyitsinda.”
7 Ariko Yehoshafati aravuga ati: “Ese nta wundi muhanuzi wa Yehova uhari ngo na we atubarize Imana?”+
8 Umwami wa Isirayeli abwira Yehoshafati ati: “Hari undi mugabo watubariza Yehova.+ Ariko njye ndamwanga+ kuko atajya ampanurira ibyiza ahubwo ampanurira ibibi.+ Ni Mikaya umuhungu wa Imula.” Icyakora Yehoshafati aravuga ati: “Oya mwami wivuga utyo.”
9 Nuko Umwami wa Isirayeli ahamagara umwe mu bakozi b’ibwami, aramubwira ati: “Ihute uzane Mikaya umuhungu wa Imula.”+
10 Icyo gihe umwami wa Isirayeli na Yehoshafati umwami w’u Buyuda bari bicaye ku ntebe zabo z’ubwami bambaye imyenda y’abami, bari ku mbuga ku marembo ya Samariya. Na ba bahanuzi bose bari imbere yabo barimo bahanura.+
11 Hanyuma Sedekiya umuhungu wa Kenana akora amahembe mu cyuma, aravuga ati: “Yehova aravuze ati: ‘aya ni yo uzicisha* Abasiriya kugeza ubamaze.’”
12 Abandi bahanuzi bose na bo bahanura batyo bati: “Tera Ramoti-gileyadi kandi uzayifata; Yehova azatuma uyitsinda.”
13 Nuko umuntu wari wagiye guhamagara Mikaya aramubwira ati: “Abahanuzi bose bahanuriye umwami ibintu byiza. Nawe rero uvuge nk’ibyo bavuze, uhanure ibyiza.”+
14 Ariko Mikaya aravuga ati: “Ndahiriye imbere ya Yehova ko icyo Yehova ari bumbwire ari cyo ndi buvuge.”
15 Nuko Mikaya yitaba umwami maze umwami aramubaza ati: “Mikaya we, dutere Ramoti-gileyadi cyangwa tubireke?” Ahita amusubiza ati: “Yitere kandi urayifata. Yehova ari butume uyitsinda.”
16 Umwami abyumvise aramubaza ati: “Ndakurahiza kangahe ngo umbwize ukuri? Ntugire ikindi umbwira uretse ibyo Yehova yakubwiye.”*
17 Mikaya aravuga ati: “Mbonye Abisirayeli bose batataniye ku misozi+ nk’intama zitagira umushumba.* Nanone Yehova aravuze ati: ‘aba ntibagira ubayobora. Buri wese nasubire mu rugo rwe amahoro.’”
18 Umwami wa Isirayeli abwira Yehoshafati ati: “Ese sinakubwiye nti: ‘ntari bumpanurire ibyiza, ahubwo arampanurira ibibi gusa?’”+
19 Mikaya arongera aravuga ati: “Noneho tega amatwi ibyo Yehova avuga: Mbonye Yehova yicaye ku ntebe ye y’ubwami,+ ingabo zose zo mu ijuru zimuhagaze iruhande, zimwe ziri iburyo izindi ibumoso.+
20 Yehova arabaza ati: ‘ni nde uri bushuke Ahabu kugira ngo atere Ramoti-gileyadi apfireyo?’ Umwe asubiza ibye, n’undi ibye.
21 Nuko umumarayika*+ umwe araza ahagarara imbere ya Yehova aravuga ati: ‘njye ndamushuka.’ Yehova aramubaza ati: ‘urabigenza ute?’
22 Aravuga ati: ‘ndagenda ntume abahanuzi be bose bamubeshya.’*+ Imana iravuga iti: ‘uramushuka kandi rwose urabishobora. Genda ubikore!’
23 None Yehova yatumye aba bahanuzi bawe bose bakubeshya.+ Ariko Yehova we yavuze ko uzagerwaho n’ibyago.”+
24 Sedekiya umuhungu wa Kenana yegera Mikaya amukubita urushyi ku itama, aramubwira ati: “Umwuka wa Yehova wanyuze he umvamo ngo uze kuvugana nawe?”+
25 Mikaya aramusubiza ati: “Uzahamenya umunsi uzinjira mu cyumba cy’imbere cyane ugiye kwihisha.”
26 Umwami wa Isirayeli aravuga ati: “Mufate Mikaya mumushyire Amoni umutware w’umujyi na Yowashi umuhungu w’umwami.
27 Mubabwire muti: ‘umwami aravuze ati: “mushyire uyu mugabo muri gereza+ mujye mumuha umugati n’amazi bidahagije kugeza igihe nzavira ku rugamba amahoro.”’”
28 Ariko Mikaya aravuga ati: “Nuva ku rugamba amahoro, Yehova ari bube atavuganye nanjye.”+ Yongeraho ati: “Bantu mwese muri hano murabe mubyumva!”
29 Hanyuma umwami wa Isirayeli na Yehoshafati umwami w’u Buyuda batera Ramoti-gileyadi.+
30 Umwami wa Isirayeli abwira Yehoshafati ati: “Ndi bujye ku rugamba niyoberanyije, ariko wowe wambare imyenda y’abami.” Nuko umwami wa Isirayeli ariyoberanya,+ ajya ku rugamba.
31 Umwami wa Siriya yari yategetse abayobozi 32 bayoboraga abagendera ku magare ye y’intambara+ ati: “Ntimugire undi muntu murwanya, yaba abasirikare basanzwe cyangwa abasirikare bakuru, ahubwo murwanye umwami wa Isirayeli wenyine.”
32 Abayoboraga abagendera ku magare y’intambara bakibona Yehoshafati baribwira bati: “Byanze bikunze uriya ni umwami wa Isirayeli.” Nuko barakata ngo bamurwanye, ariko Yehoshafati atangira gutabaza.
33 Abayoboraga abagendera ku magare y’intambara babonye ko atari umwami wa Isirayeli, bareka kumukurikira.
34 Ariko umuntu umwe apfa kurasa umwambi ufata umwami wa Isirayeli aho ibice by’ikoti rye ry’icyuma bihurira. Umwami abwira uwari utwaye igare rye ati: “Kata igare unkure ku rugamba* kuko nkomeretse cyane.”+
35 Nuko uwo munsi haba intambara ikaze, bituma bakomeza guhagarika umwami mu igare rye ateganye n’Abasiriya. Amaraso yavaga aho yari yakomeretse yashokeraga mu igare. Bigeze nimugoroba arapfa.+
36 Izuba riri hafi kurenga, babwira ingabo bati: “Buri wese nasubire mu mujyi w’iwabo, buri wese nasubire mu gihugu cye!”+
37 Uko ni ko umwami yapfuye. Nuko bazana umurambo we i Samariya aba ari ho bamushyingura.
38 Igihe bogerezaga igare rye ry’intambara ku kidendezi cy’i Samariya, imbwa zaraje zirigata amaraso ye nk’uko Yehova yari yarabivuze.+ Muri icyo kidendezi ni ho indaya ziyuhagiriraga.
39 Andi mateka ya Ahabu, ni ukuvuga ibindi bintu byose yakoze, inzu* yubakishije amahembe y’inzovu+ n’indi mijyi yose yubatse, byanditse mu gitabo cy’ibyakozwe mu gihe cy’abami ba Isirayeli.
40 Nuko Ahabu arapfa,*+ umuhungu we Ahaziya+ aba ari we umusimbura ku butegetsi.
41 Yehoshafati+ umuhungu wa Asa, yari yarabaye umwami w’u Buyuda mu mwaka wa kane w’ubutegetsi bwa Ahabu umwami wa Isirayeli.
42 Yehoshafati yabaye umwami afite imyaka 35, amara imyaka 25 ari ku butegetsi i Yerusalemu. Mama we yitwaga Azuba, akaba yari umukobwa wa Shiluhi.
43 Yehoshafati yiganye ibikorwa byiza byose papa we Asa+ yakoraga kandi yakoze ibyo Yehova akunda.+ Ariko ahantu hirengeye ho gusengera hagumyeho kandi abantu bari bakihatambira ibitambo maze umwotsi wabyo ukazamuka.+
44 Yehoshafati yakomeje kubana neza n’umwami wa Isirayeli.+
45 Andi mateka ya Yehoshafati, ni ukuvuga ibikorwa bye by’ubutwari n’intambara yarwanye, byanditse mu gitabo cy’ibyakozwe mu gihe cy’abami b’u Buyuda.
46 Abagabo b’indaya bo mu rusengero+ bari barasigaye mu gihe cy’ubutegetsi bwa papa we Asa, Yehoshafati yabamaze mu gihugu.+
47 Icyo gihe Edomu+ nta mwami yagiraga. Uwari umwungirije ni we wayiyoboraga.+
48 Nanone Yehoshafati yakoze amato y’i Tarushishi* kugira ngo ajye kuzana zahabu muri Ofiri,+ ariko ayo mato ntiyagerayo kubera ko yarohamiye ahitwa Esiyoni-geberi.+
49 Icyo gihe ni bwo Ahaziya umuhungu wa Ahabu yabwiye Yehoshafati ati: “Reka abagaragu banjye bajyane n’abawe mu mato,” ariko Yehoshafati arabyanga.
50 Nuko Yehoshafati arapfa,* bamushyingura hamwe na ba sekuruza+ mu mujyi wa sekuruza Dawidi. Umuhungu we Yehoramu+ ni we wamusimbuye ku butegetsi.
51 Mu mwaka wa 17 w’ubutegetsi bwa Yehoshafati umwami w’u Buyuda, Ahaziya+ umuhungu wa Ahabu yabaye umwami i Samariya, amara imyaka ibiri ategeka Isirayeli.
52 Yakomeje gukora ibyo Yehova yanga, akora ibikorwa bibi nk’ibya papa we,+ ibya mama we+ n’ibya Yerobowamu umuhungu wa Nebati watumye Abisirayeli bakora icyaha.+
53 Yakomeje gukorera Bayali+ no kuyunamira, akomeza kurakaza Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli,+ akora ibikorwa nk’ibyo papa we yakoraga byose.
