1 Abami 22 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

22 ¹Imyaka itatu nta ntambara yabaye hagati ya Aramu na Isirayeli. ²Ariko mu mwaka ugira gatatu, Yehoshafati umwami wa Yuda aramanuka aja ku mwami wa Isirayeli. ³Umwami wa Isirayeli abwira abasavyi biwe ati: “Murazi ko Ramoti-Gileyadi ari iyacu, yamara ntitugira ico dukoze ngo tuyinyage mu kuboko kw’umwami wa Aramu?” ⁴Aca abaza Yehoshafati ati: “Mbega wojana nanje kurwanya Ramoti-Gileyadi?” Yehoshafati abwira umwami wa Isirayeli ati: “Jewe ndi nka wewe, abantu banje ni nk’abantu bawe, amafarasi yanje ni nk’amafarasi yawe.”

⁵Maze Yehoshafati abwira umwami wa Isirayeli ati: “Ndakwinginze, banza ubaze ijambo rya Data.”

⁶Nuko umwami wa Isirayeli akoranya abahanuzi, bangana n’abantu amajana ane, arababaza ati: “Mbega noja kurwanya Ramoti-Gileyadi, canke niceb...?” Bati: “Duga, kuko Data Mukuru azoyishira mu kuboko kw’umwami.”

⁷Ariko Yehoshafati ati: “Mbega ntiharimwo n’umuhanuzi wa Data hano ngo tumubaze?”

⁸Umwami wa Isirayeli abwira Yehoshafati ati: “Haracarimwo umuntu umwe uwo twobaza Data biciye kuri we, ariko ndamwanka, kuko atigera amvuga iciza, atari akarambaraye gusa: ni Mikaya mwene Imula.” Yehoshafati ati: “Ntiwobivuga ga mwami.”

⁹Nuko umwami wa Isirayeli ahamagara umukuru umwe, aramubwira ati: “Ningoga nzanira Mikaya mwene Imula.”

¹⁰Umwami wa Isirayeli na Yehoshafati umwami wa Yuda bicaye umwe wese ku ntebe yiwe y’ubwami, bambaye ibishura vyabo, ku kibuga co kuhuriramwo ingano hafi y’irembo rya Samariya, mu gihe abahanuzi bose bahanura imbere yabo. ¹¹Zedekiya mwene Kenaana yacuze amahembe y’icuma, aravuga ati: “Imana ivuze iti: ‘Uzokwitwaza aya mahembe, ucobagure Abanyaramu gushika bahonywe.’” ¹²Abahanuzi bose bahanura kumwe bati: “Duga uje i Ramoti-Gileyadi utsinde; Imana izoyishira mu kuboko kw’umwami.”

¹³Intumwa yarungitswe kwitumira Mikaya iramubwira iti: “Raba, abahanuzi bavuga rimwe basezeranira umwami intsinzi. Ijambo ryawe niryumvikane n’iryabo, usezeranire intsinzi.”

¹⁴Ariko Mikaya ati: “Ndahira Data nzima, ivyo Data azombwira, ni vyo nzovuga.”

¹⁵Ashitse, umwami aramubaza ati: “Mikaya, mbega tuzoja kurwana i Ramoti-Gileyadi, canke twicebe?” Ati: “Duga utsinde; Data azoyishira mu kuboko kw’umwami.”

¹⁶Umwami ati: “Ni kangahe nzogukwiza indahiro ngo untere kumbwira ukuri gusa mw’izina rya Data?”

¹⁷Ati: “Narabonye Isirayeli yose itatanye ku misozi, nk’intama zitagira umwungere. Maze Data avuga ati: ‘Aba nta shobuja bafise; umwe wese nasubire iwe amahoro.’”

¹⁸Umwami wa Isirayeli abwira Yehoshafati ati: “None sinakubwiye yuko atohanura iciza na kimwe conanje, atari ivyago gusa?”

¹⁹Mikaya ati: “Ni co gituma wumva ijambo rya Data: Narabonye Data yicaye ku ntebe yiwe y’ubwami, ingabo zose zo mw’ijuru zihagaze iruhande rwiwe, iburyo n’ibubamfu bwiwe.

²⁰Maze Data avuga ati: ‘Ni nde azoshuka Ahabu ngo aduge aje gusandara i Ramoti-Gileyadi?’ Umwe avuga umwe, uwundi avuga uwundi.

²¹Nuko hazaho impwemu, ihagarara imbere ya Data, iravuga iti: ‘Jewe nzomushuka.’

²²Data arayibaza ati: ‘Gute?’ Iravuga iti: ‘Nzogenda mbe impwemu y’ikinyoma mu kanwa k’abahanuzi biwe bose.’ Maze Data ati: ‘Uzomushuka kandi ubishikako. Genda ubigire.’

²³Nuko none Data yashize impwemu y’ikinyoma mu kanwa k’aba bahanuzi bawe bose, kandi Data yakwatuyeko akarambaraye.”

²⁴Nuko Zedekiya mwene Kenaana aregera, akubita urushi Mikaya, aramubwira ati: “Mbega Mpwemu w’Imana yavuye muri jewe ica mu ruhe ngo aje kukuvugisha?”

²⁵Mikaya ati: “Uzobibona kuri uwo musi igihe uzokwinjira mu cumba co hagati ngo winyegeze.”

²⁶Umwami wa Isirayeli ati: “Fata Mikaya umusubize kwa Amoni umutware w’igisagara no kwa Yowasi umwana w’umwami, ²⁷umubwire uti: ‘Umwami avuze ati: Shira uyu muntu mu munyororo, umuhe umukate n’amazi gusa gushika ngataha amahoro.’”

²⁸Mikaya ati: “Nutaha amahoro na gatoyi, Data ntiyavuze biciye kuri jewe.” Nuko aravuga ati: “Nimwumvirize, mwipfasoni mwese!”

Ahabu agwa nk’uko Data yari yabivuze

²⁹Nuko umwami wa Isirayeli na Yehoshafati umwami wa Yuda baduga baja i Ramoti-Gileyadi. ³⁰Umwami wa Isirayeli abwira Yehoshafati ati: “Nzohindura ukuntu meze ninjire mu ntambara, mugabo wewe wambare ibishura vyawe.” Nuko umwami wa Isirayeli ahindura ukuntu ameze, yinjira mu ntambara.

³¹Umwami wa Aramu yari yategetse abakuru b’amakariyo yiwe mirongo itatu na babiri ati: “Ntimurwanye uwuto canke uwukuru, atari umwami wa Isirayeli gusa.”

³²Abakuru b’amakariyo babonye Yehoshafati, bavuga bati: “Ntankeka uyu ni we mwami wa Isirayeli.” Baca bagarukira kumurwanya, maze Yehoshafati arasemerera. ³³Abakuru b’amakariyo babonye yuko atari umwami wa Isirayeli, baca bakuraho kumukurikira. ³⁴Umuntu umwe anaba ubuta bwiwe ata umugambi, ararasa umwami wa Isirayeli hagati y’aho ibirwanisho vyiwe vyahuriye. Umwami abwira umushoferi w’ikariyo yiwe ati: “Hindukira unkure mu ntambara, kuko nkomeretse.” ³⁵Intambara iramenyekana cane kuri uwo musi, maze umwami ashigikizwa mu kariyo yiwe arabwirije Abanyaramu. Bwije arapfa. Amaraso y’igikomere ciwe yari yarasutse mu kuzimu w’ikariyo. ³⁶Izuba riravye, haca hashika akamo mw’inkambi kati: “Umuntu wese aje mu gisagara ciwe, umuntu wese aje mu gihugu ciwe!”

³⁷Nuko umwami arapfa, azanwa i Samariya, baca bahamba umwami i Samariya. ³⁸Baroza ikariyo ku kidengeri c’i Samariya, maze imbwa zikivona amaraso yiwe, n’abamaraya bogera aho, nk’uko Data yari yavuze.

³⁹Ibisigaye ku vyo Ahabu yakoze, ivyo yakoze vyose, ingoro y’amahembe y’inzovu, n’igisagara cose yubatse, mbega ntivyanditswe mu Gitabu c’Ivyabona vy’abami ba Isirayeli? ⁴⁰Nuko Ahabu asinzira na ba sekuruza biwe, maze Ahaziya umwana wiwe aba umwami mu kibanza ciwe.

Yehoshafati agenda imbere ya Data

⁴¹Yehoshafati mwene Asa aba umwami wa Yuda mu mwaka ugira kane wa Ahabu umwami wa Isirayeli. ⁴²Yehoshafati yari afise imyaka mirongo itatu n’itanu igihe aba umwami, maze aganza imyaka mirongo ibiri n’itanu i Yeruzalemu. Nyina yitwa Azuba, umukobwa wa Shilhi. ⁴³Yakurikiye inzira yose ya se Asa, ntiyayivamwo, akora iciza mu maso ya Data. Ariko rero, ahakuru hahamiraga hakibaho; abantu babandanya kuhashira ibimazi no kwosereza imibavu. ⁴⁴Yehoshafati kandi yaragiraniye amahoro n’umwami wa Isirayeli.

⁴⁵Ibisigaye ku vyo Yehoshafati yakoze, ubushobozi yagaragaje, n’ukuntu yarwanye, mbega ntivyanditswe mu Gitabu c’Ivyabona vy’abami ba Yuda? ⁴⁶Ibisigaye ku bamaraya b’abagabo bo ku nsengero vyari vyarasigaye kuva mu misi ya se Asa, yabakuye mu gihugu. ⁴⁷Nta mwami yari ahari muri Edomu; icegera ni co cabereye umwami. ⁴⁸Yehoshafati yubatse amato ya Tarushishi ngo ajane i Ofiri kuzana zahabu, ariko ntiyigeze aja; yavunikiye i Eziyoni-Geberi. ⁴⁹Nuko Ahaziya mwene Ahabu abwira Yehoshafati ati: “Reka abasavyi banje bagendane n’abawe mu mato,” ariko Yehoshafati arabyanka. ⁵⁰Yehoshafati aruhukana na ba sekuruza biwe, ahambanwa na bo mu Gisagara ca Dawidi se wiwe, maze Yehoramu umwana wiwe aba umwami mu kibanza ciwe.

Ahaziya ashavuza Data

⁵¹Ahaziya mwene Ahabu atangura kuganza Isirayeli i Samariya mu mwaka ugira cumi na indwi wa Yehoshafati umwami wa Yuda, aganza imyaka ibiri kuri Isirayeli. ⁵²Yakoze ikibi mu maso ya Data, agenda mu nzira ya se, n’inzira ya nyina, n’inzira ya Yerobowamu mwene Nebati, uwajijije Isirayeli mu gicumuro. ⁵³Yasavye Baali aramusenga, maze ashavuza Data, Imana ya Isirayeli, nk’uko se yari yabigize.
