Eliya ahungira ubuzima bwiwe

Iterabwoba rimwe rya Yezebeli, Eliya ahungira mu bugaragwa asaba gupfa. Umumarayika amugaburira kabiri, maze i Horebu umuyaga, umutigito w'isi n'umuriro birahita, ariko Data wacu ntiyari muri vyo. Ijwi ryongorera rimusubiza inyuma, rimuha abantu batatu bo gusiga amavuta.

Igice 19.

Ahabu abwira Yezebeli ivyo Eliya yakoze vyose, n’ukuntu yari yishe abavugishwa bose n’inkota. Yezebeli arungikira Eliya intumwa ati: “Imana zinkorere gutyo, zinyongereze n’ibiruta, nimba ejo nk’iki gihe ntazogize ubuzima bwawe nk’ubw’umwe muri bamwe bavugishwa.”

Afise ubwoba, Eliya aravyuka arahunga kugira akize ubuzima bwiwe, ashika i Beyeri-Sheba mu Buyuda, aho asigayo umusuku wiwe. Aca aja mu bugaragwa urugendo rw’umusi umwe, yicara munsi y’igiti c’umurwa kimwe gusa, asaba gupfa. Aravuga ati: “Birahagije, Data. Kura ubuzima bwanje; sindi mwiza kuruta ba sogokuru.”

Aca aryama arasinzira munsi y’umurwa. Umumarayika aramukora, aramubwira ati: “Vyuka urye.”

Araraba, hafi y’umutwe wiwe hariho umukate wokeje ku mabuye ashushe, n’icupa ry’amazi. Ararya aranywa, aca arongera araryama. Umumarayika wa Data wa twese aragaruka ubwa kabiri, aramukora, aramubwira ati: “Vyuka urye, kuko urugendo ari rwinshi kuri wewe.”

Nuko aravyuka, ararya aranywa, akomejwe n’ivyo bifungurwa, agenda imisi mirongo ine n’amajoro mirongo ine gushika i Horebu, umusozi wa Data wa twese.

Ukunyonga gutekānye kwa Data wa twese

Aho yinjira mu buvumo, aharara. Maze ijambo rya Data wa twese riramugera, riti: “Urikora iki ng’aha, Eliya?”

Arishura ati: “Nagize umwete mwinshi kubera Data wa twese, Nyen’ingabo z’ijuru. Isiraheli bataye isezerano ryawe, bahomvye ibicaniro vyawe, bakīca n’inkota abavugishwa bawe. Ni jewe jenyene nsigaye, ubu none barondera ubuzima bwanje, kugira babukure.”

Data wa twese aravuga ati: “Sohoka uhagarare ku musozi imbere yanje, kuko ngira nce aha.” Umuyaga mukomeye kandi ufise ububasha uratabagura imisozi, umena n’ibitandara imbere ya Data wa twese, ariko Data wa twese ntiyari mu muyaga. Inyuma y’umuyaga haza umutingito, ariko Data wa twese ntiyari mu mutingito.

Inyuma y’umutingito, haza umuriro, ariko Data wa twese ntiyari mu muriro. Inyuma y’umuriro, haza ijwi ryo kunyonga gutekānye.

Ariryumva, Eliya yipfuka mu maso n’umwitero wiwe, arasohoka, ahagarara ku muryango w’ubuvumo. Ijwi riramugera riti: “Urikora iki ng’aha, Eliya?”

Arishura ati: “Nagize umwete mwinshi kubera Data wa twese, Nyen’ingabo z’ijuru. Abantu b’Isiraheli bataye isezerano ryawe, bahomvye ibicaniro vyawe, bakīca n’inkota abavugishwa bawe. Ni jewe jenyene nsigaye, ubu none barondera ubuzima bwanje, kugira babukure.”

Data wa twese aramubwira ati: “Garuka unyuze mu nzira waje, uje mu bugaragwa bwa Damasiko. Aho uze urobanuze Hazayeli umwami w’Abanyaramu. Kandi urobanuze Yehu mwene Nimushi umwami wa Isiraheli, wongere urobanuze Elisha mwene Shafati w’i Abeli-Mehola abe umuvugishwa mu kibanza cawe. Uwuzocika inkota ya Hazayeli, Yehu azomwica; kandi uwuzocika inkota ya Yehu, Elisha azomwica. Yamara nzosigaza muri Isiraheli abantu ibihumbi indwi, ari bo bavi vyose bitarapfukamiye Baali, n’iminwa yose itaramusomye.”

Data wa twese ahamagara Elisha

Nuko Eliya aravayo, asanga Elisha mwene Shafati ariko ararima n’amajoza cumi n’abiri y’inka, we nyene ayobora iryo rigira cumi na kabiri. Eliya aramwegera, amutera umwitero wiwe. Elisha aca areka inka, ahira inyuma ya Eliya, aravuga ati: “Reka nsome dawe na mawe mbasezere, maze nze ngukurikire.” Eliya aramwishura ati: “Garuka. Mbega nagukoreye iki?”

Nuko Elisha aragaruka, atora amajoza yiwe y’inka, arayabaga. Akoresheje ibikoresho vyo kurima nk’inkwi, ateka iyo nyama, ayihereza abantu, barayirya. Maze aca akurikira Eliya, aramukorera.
