1 Abami 12 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

12 ¹Rehobowamu yaja i Shekemu, kuko Isirayeli yose yari yaje i Shekemu kugira ngo bamwimike ngo abe umwami. ²Yerobowamu mwene Nebati avyumvise—we yakiri mu Misiri, iyo yari yarahungiye umwami Salomo, aguma yo. ³Barungika bamuhamagara. Yerobowamu n’ikoraniro ryose rya Isirayeli baraza, babwira Rehobowamu bati: ⁴“So yaraturemeye ingǒgo. None woroshe iyo mirimo ikomeye na ya ngǒgo iremereye so yadushize ku rutugu, maze tuzogukorera.”

⁵Arababwira ati: “Nimugende, maze haheze imisi itatu mugaruke iwanje.” Nuko abo bantu baragenda.

⁶Umwami Rehobowamu agisha inama abashaje bakorera so wiwe Salomo akiriho. Arababaza ati: “Ni iki munyemereye ko nishura abo bantu?”

⁷Baramwishura bati: “Nimba uno musi ukorera abo bantu, ukabishura neza, bazoba abasuku bawe ibihe vyose.”

⁸Ariko arahakana iyo nama abashaje bamuhaye, aja kugisha inama abasore bakuriye hamwe na we kandi bamukorera. ⁹Arababaza ati: “Inama yanyu ni iyihe? Ni gute dukwiye kwishura abo bantu bambwiye bati: ‘Woroshe iyo ngǒgo so yadushize ku rutugu’?”

¹⁰Abo basore bakuriye hamwe na we baramwishura bati: “Bwira abo bantu bakubwiye bati: ‘So yaturemereye ingǒgo, ariko wewe uyoroshe’—ubabwire uti: ‘Agahera kanje k’urushi karuta mu kibuno ca data. ¹¹Data yabashize ingǒgo iremereye; jewe nzoyirushiriza kuremera. Data yabahanishije imikoba; jewe nzobahanisha sikorupiyo.’”

¹²Haheze imisi itatu, Yerobowamu n’abantu bose baragaruka kuri Rehobowamu, nk’uko umwami yari yabivuze ati: “Muze mugaruke iwanje haheze imisi itatu.” ¹³Umwami ayishura abo bantu abikoresheje amagirvarira. Arahakana iyo nama abashaje bari bamuhaye, ¹⁴ababwira nk’uko abo basore bari bamugize inama ati: “Data yabaremereye ingǒgo; jewe nzoyirushiriza kuremera. Data yabahanishije imikoba; jewe nzobahanisha sikorupiyo.”

¹⁵Nuko umwami ntiyumviriza abo bantu, kuko ayo mahindagurika yavuye kuri Data wa twese, kugira ngo haranguke ijambo Data wa twese yari yavugishije Ahiya w’i Shilo kuri Yerobowamu mwene Nebati.

¹⁶Isirayeli yose ibonye ko umwami yanse kubumviriza, baramwishura bati: “Umugabane ki dufise muri Dawidi? Nta ntoranwa dufise muri mwene Yese! Ja mu mahema yawe, Isirayeli! None witwararike inzu yawe, Dawidi!” Nuko Isirayeli isubira mu mahema yabo.

¹⁷Ariko Rehobowamu yaganje bamwe muri Abisirayeli bari batuye mu bisagara vya Yuda. ¹⁸Umwami Rehobowamu arungika Adoramu, uwo yari ajejwe abakoreshwa ku nguvu, ariko Isirayeli yose iramutera amabuye arapfa. Umwami Rehobowamu yihutira kurira umukogote wiwe arahungira i Yeruzalemu. ¹⁹Nuko Isirayeli yagumye mu bugarariji kuri inzu ya Dawidi gushika n’uno musi.

²⁰Isirayeli yose yumvise ko Yerobowamu yagarutse, baramuhamagara mw’ikoraniro, bamwimika ngo abe umwami wa Isirayeli yose. Umuryango wa Yuda gusa ni wo wakurikiye inzu ya Dawidi.

²¹Rehobowamu ashitse i Yeruzalemu, akoranya inzu yose ya Yuda n’umuryango wa Benyamini—abarwanyi batoranijwe ibihumbi ijana na mirongwa inani—kugira ngo barwanye inzu ya Isirayeli, basubize ubwami kuri Rehobowamu mwene Salomo.

²²Ariko ijambo rya Data wa twese riza kuri Shemaya, umuntu wa Data wa twese, riti:

²³“Bwira Rehobowamu mwene Salomo, umwami wa Yuda, n’inzu yose ya Yuda na Benyamini, n’abandi bantu basigaye, uti:

²⁴‘Ivyo ni vyo Data wa twese avuga: Ntimuze muduge ngo murwanye bene wanyu, Abisirayeli. Umwe wese muri mwebwe nasubire iwe, kuko ivyo vyavuye kuri jewe.’” Nuko bumvira iryo jambo ryiwe, barasubira iwabo, nk’uko yavuze.

Yerobowamu yubaka ibigirwamana i Beteli n’i Dani

²⁵Yerobowamu yubaka Shekemu mu misozi ya Efurayimu, atura yo. Avayo, aja kwubaka Penuweli. ²⁶Yerobowamu yiyumvira mu mutima wiwe ati: “None ubu ubwami bushobora gusubira mu nzu ya Dawidi. ²⁷Nimba abo bantu baduga ngo baje gushikana ibimazi mu nzu ya Data wa twese i Yeruzalemu, imitima yabo izosubira ku mwami wabo, Rehobowamu umwami wa Yuda. Bazonyica basubire kuri Rehobowamu umwami wa Yuda.” ²⁸Amaze kurondera inama, umwami akora inyana zibiri za zahabu. Abwira abantu ati: “Kuduga mu Yeruzalemu birabarengeye. Ng’iyi imana zanyu, Isirayeli, izabakuye mu gihugu ca Misiri.” ²⁹Ashira imwe i Beteli, iyindi ayishira i Dani. ³⁰Ico caba icaha, kuko abantu bagiye gusenga imbere ya imwe gushika kure i Dani. ³¹Yerobowamu yubaka insengero ku bisanamu, akora abaherezi bavuye mu bantu b’uburyo bwose, ataba Abalewi. ³²Yerobowamu ashinga umusi mukuru ku musi ugira cumi na gatanu w’ukwezi kw’umunani, nk’umusi mukuru wa Yuda, atanga ibimazi ku gicaniro. Ari ko yagize i Beteli, ashikana ibimazi kuri za nyana yari yakoze, kandi ngaho ashingayo abaherezi b’ibisanamu yari yakoze. ³³Ku musi ugira cumi na gatanu w’ukwezi kw’umunani—ukwezi yiyadukije ubwiwe—aduga ku gicaniro yari yubatse i Beteli, ashingira Abisirayeli umusi mukuru, aduga ku gicaniro kugira ngo yoshe imibavu.
