13 ¹Na rĩĩrĩ, mũndũ wa Ithe witũ ookire oimĩte Juda agĩkinya Betheli na ũndũ wa kiugo kĩa Ithe witũ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jeroboamu aarũgamĩte hakuhĩ na kĩgongona nĩguo acinie ũbumba.

²Nake agĩkaĩra kĩgongona na kiugo kĩa Ithe witũ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kĩgongona, kĩgongona, Ithe witũ ekuuga atĩrĩ: nyũmba ya Daudi nĩĩgaciara mwana ũgeetwo Josia. Igũrũ rĩaku nĩagaruta igongona athĩnjĩri a kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru arĩa macinagĩra ũbumba igũrũ rĩaku, namo mahĩndĩ ma andũ nĩmagacinĩrwo igũrũ rĩaku.”

³Mũthenya o ũcio akĩheana kĩmenyithia, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩmenyithia kĩrĩa Ithe witũ aarĩtie: kĩgongona nĩgĩkaatũkana, naguo mũhu waakĩo nĩũgaitĩka.”

⁴Rĩrĩa Mũthamaki Jeroboamu aaiguire mũndũ wa Ithe witũ agĩkaĩra kĩgongona kũu Betheli, agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake kuuma kĩgongonainĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũnyiitei!” No guoko kũu aamũtambũrũkĩirie gũkĩhooha, akĩremwo nĩ gũgũcookia harĩ we. ⁵Nakĩo kĩgongona gĩgĩatũkana, naguo mũhu waakĩo ũgĩitĩka—kĩu nĩkĩo kĩmenyithia kĩrĩa mũndũ wa Ithe witũ aaheanĩte na ũndũ wa kiugo kĩa Ithe witũ. ⁶Mũthamaki akĩĩra mũndũ wa Ithe witũ atĩrĩ, “Thaitha Ngai waku anjiguĩre tha; ũũhooere, nĩguo guoko gwakwa gũhone.” Nake akĩhooya Ithe witũ, nakuo guoko kwa mũthamaki gũgĩcookererio o ta ũrĩa gwatariĩ mbere.

⁷Mũthamaki akĩĩra mũndũ wa Ithe witũ atĩrĩ, “Ũka mũciĩ, tũrĩĩanĩre, na nĩngũkũhe kĩheo.”

⁸Nake mũndũ wa Ithe witũ akĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “O na ũngĩĩnengera nuthu ya nyũmba yaku, ndingĩthiĩ nawe, kana ndĩe mũgate, kana ndĩnyue maaĩ haaha.

⁹Nĩgũkorwo kiugo kĩa Ithe witũ gĩathĩte ũna atĩrĩ: ‘Ndũkarĩe mũgate, ndũkanyue maaĩ, na ndũgacooke na njĩra ĩrĩa wookire nayo.’”

¹⁰Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ na njĩra ĩngĩ, na ndaacookire na njĩra ĩrĩa ookĩte nayo Betheli.

¹¹Na rĩĩrĩ, kũu Betheli nĩgwatũũrĩte mũnabii ũmwe mũkũrũ. Nao aariũ ake magĩũka makĩmwĩra maũndũ moothe marĩa mũndũ wa Ithe witũ eekĩte mũthenya ũcio kũu Betheli. Ningĩ makĩĩra ithe wao ciugo iria aarĩtie kũrĩ mũthamaki.

¹²Nake ithe wao akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Aathiire na njĩra ĩrĩkũ?” Nao aariũ ake makĩmuonia njĩra ĩrĩa mũndũ wa Ithe witũ ũrĩa woimĩte Juda aagereire. ¹³Akĩĩra aariũ ake atĩrĩ, “Ndandĩkĩrai ndigiri.” Nao makĩmũtandĩkĩra ndigiri, nake akĩmĩhaica. ¹⁴Agĩthiĩ arũmĩrĩire mũndũ wa Ithe witũ, akĩmũkora aikarĩte thĩ rungu rwa mũtĩ wa mũgumo, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe mũndũ wa Ithe witũ ũrĩa woimire Juda?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ.”

¹⁵Agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka mũciĩ hamwe na niĩ ũrĩe mũgate.”

¹⁶No akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndingĩhota gũcooka nawe, kana gũtonya hamwe nawe; o na ndingĩrĩa mũgate kana ndĩnyue maaĩ hamwe nawe haaha. ¹⁷Nĩgũkorwo Ithe witũ aanjĩĩrire na ũndũ wa kiugo gĩake atĩrĩ: ‘Ndũkarĩe mũgate, ndũkanyue maaĩ kũu, kana ũcooke na njĩra ĩrĩa wookire nayo.’”

¹⁸Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ ndĩ mũnabii tawe; nake mũraika aanjĩĩrire na ũndũ wa kiugo kĩa Ngai atĩrĩ, ‘Mũcookie nyũmba gwaku arĩe mũgate na anyue maaĩ.’” No nĩamũheenirie.

¹⁹Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ wa Ithe witũ agĩcooka hamwe nake, akĩrĩa mũgate nyũmba gwake, na akĩnyua maaĩ. ²⁰Na rĩrĩa maikarĩte methainĩ, kiugo kĩa Ithe witũ gĩgĩkinyĩra mũnabii ũrĩa wamũcooketie.

²¹Nake agĩkaĩra mũndũ wa Ithe witũ ũrĩa woimĩte Juda, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo Ithe witũ ekuuga: Tondũ nĩũremeire kiugo gĩake, na ũkĩaga kũrũmĩrĩra watho ũrĩa Ithe waku aakũheire, ²²no ũgĩcooka, ũkĩrĩa mũgate, na ũkĩnyua maaĩ handũ harĩa aakwĩrĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkarĩe mũgate, ndũkanyue maaĩ’—kĩimba gĩaku gĩtigaakinya mbĩrĩrainĩ ya maithe maku.”

²³Na thuutha wa mũndũ wa Ithe witũ kũrĩa na kũnyua, mũnabii ũcio mũkũrũ akĩmũtandĩkĩra ndigiri, o we mũnabii ũrĩa aacooketie. ²⁴Na rĩrĩa aathiiaga na njĩra yake, mũrũũthi ũkĩmũtũnga njĩrainĩ, ũkĩmũũraga. Naguo mwĩrĩ wake ũgĩteeo njĩrainĩ, nayo ndigiri ĩrũgamĩte hakuhĩ naguo, nake mũrũũthi arũgamĩte hakuhĩ na mwĩrĩ ũcio. ²⁵Nao andũ arĩa maahĩtũkagĩra hau makĩona mwĩrĩ ũcio ũteeetwo njĩrainĩ, na mũrũũthi arũgamĩte hakuhĩ naguo, magĩũka makĩheana ũhoro ũcio itũũrainĩ rĩrĩa mũnabii ũcio mũkũrũ aatũũraga. ²⁶Rĩrĩa mũnabii ũrĩa wamũcooketie kuuma njĩrainĩ aaiguire ũguo, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ mũndũ wa Ithe witũ ũrĩa waremeire kiugo kĩa Ithe witũ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩamũneanĩte kũrĩ mũrũũthi, naguo ũkĩmũtambuura na ũkĩmũũraga, o ta ũrĩa aamwĩrĩte.” ²⁷Agĩcooka akĩĩra aariũ ake atĩrĩ, “Ndandĩkĩrai ndigiri.” Nao makĩmĩtandĩka. ²⁸Agĩthiĩ, akĩona mwĩrĩ ũcio ũteeetwo njĩrainĩ, nayo ndigiri na mũrũũthi irũgamĩte hakuhĩ naguo; mũrũũthi ũcio ndwarĩĩte mwĩrĩ ũcio kana ũgĩtambuura ndigiri. ²⁹Nake mũnabii akĩoya mwĩrĩ wa mũndũ wa Ithe witũ, akĩũigĩrĩra igũrũ rĩa ndigiri, akĩũcookia, agĩũka itũũrainĩ nĩguo amũcakaĩre na amũthike. ³⁰Akĩiga mwĩrĩ ũcio mbĩrĩrainĩ yake mwene, nao makĩmũcakaĩra, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩiya-ĩ, mũrũ wa maitũ!”

³¹Na thuutha wa kũmũthika, akĩĩra aariũ ake atĩrĩ, “Rĩrĩa ngaakua, mũũnthike mbĩrĩrainĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ wa Ithe witũ athikĩtwo; mũige mahĩndĩ makwa hakuhĩ na mahĩndĩ make. ³²Nĩgũkorwo ũhoro ũrĩa aakaĩire na ũndũ wa kiugo kĩa Ithe witũ gũũkĩrĩra kĩgongona kĩa Betheli, na mahooero moothe ma kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru marĩa marĩ matũũrainĩ ma Samaria, ti-itherũ nĩũkahinga.”

³³Thuutha wa maũndũ macio, Jeroboamu ndaagarũrũkire akĩhutatĩra njĩra yake njũru; ningĩ agĩcooka gũthuura athĩnjĩri a kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kuuma kũrĩ andũ othe—ũrĩa wothe wendaga, akamwamũra, nake agatuĩka mũthĩnjĩri wa kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru. ³⁴Naguo ũndũ ũcio ũgĩtuĩka wĩhia kũrĩ nyũmba ya Jeroboamu, naguo ũkĩmĩniina, ũkĩmĩananga, ũkĩmĩeheria thĩ igũrũ.
