2 Abami 3 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

3 ¹Yoramu mwene Ahabu yabaye umwami wa Isiraeli i Samariya mu mwaka ugira cumi n’umunani wa Yehoshafati umwami wa Yuda, atwara imyaka cumi n’ibiri. ²Yakoze ibibi mu maso ya Data wa twese, naho atari nka se na nyina, kuko yakuyeho inkingi yera ya Baali se yari yarakoze. ³Yamara yagumye ku vyaha vya Yerobowamu mwene Nebati, uwayobeje Isiraeli ngo ikore ivyaha; ntiyabivavo.

⁴Mesha umwami wa Mowabu yarorora intama, akarihira umwami wa Isiraeli imyagazi ibihumbi ijana n’ubwoya bw’amasekurume y’intama ibihumbi ijana. ⁵Mugabo Ahabu amaze gupfa, umwami wa Mowabu aragarariza umwami wa Isiraeli. ⁶Nuko Umwami Yoramu ava i Samariya ico gihe, akoranya Isiraeli yose. ⁷Aragenda, arungikira ubutumwa Yehoshafati umwami wa Yuda ati: “Umwami wa Mowabu yarangararije. Mbega wokwifatanya nanje ngo turwanye Mowabu?” Aramwishura ati: “Ndaza. Ndi nkawe, abantu banje ni nk’abawe, n’amafarasi yanje ni nk’ayawe.”

⁸Aramubaza ati: “Twoca inzira iyihe tuduga?” Aramwishura ati: “Inzira iciye mu bugaragwa bwa Edomu.”

⁹Umwami wa Isiraeli aragenda kumwe n’umwami wa Yuda n’umwami wa Edomu. Bagenda bazunguruka imisi indwi, ata mazi yoyo ingabo canke ibitungwa vyazikurikiye. ¹⁰Umwami wa Isiraeli aravuga ati: “Yooo! Kuko Data wa twese yahamagaye aba bami batatu gusa ngo abashire mu maboko ya Mowabu.” ^a a v10 Naho uyu mwami atizera, yihutira guhora ahora, aracari uwo mu muryango w’isezerano — avuga izina rya Data wa twese atizera.

¹¹Mugabo Yehoshafati aravuga ati: “Mbega nta muhanuzi wa Data wa twese ari ng’aha, kugira ngo tubaze Data wa twese biciye kuri we?” Umwe mu basuku b’umwami wa Isiraeli aramwishura ati: “Elisha mwene Shafati ari ng’aha, we yasuka amazi ku maboko ya Eliya.”

¹²Yehoshafati aravuga ati: “Ijambo rya Data wa twese riri kuri we,” nuko umwami wa Isiraeli, Yehoshafati, n’umwami wa Edomu bamanukira iwe.

¹³Elisha abaza umwami wa Isiraeli ati: “Hagati yanje nawe hariho iki? Genda ku bahanuzi ba so na nyoko.” Umwami aramwishura ati: “Oya—Data wa twese yahamagaye aba bami batatu ngo abashire mu maboko ya Mowabu.”

¹⁴Elisha aravuga ati: “Nk’uko Data w’ingabo zo mw’ijuru ariho, uwo nkorera, iyo ntubaha Yehoshafati umwami wa Yuda, sinokuraba canke sinokwitwararika. ¹⁵Noneho nzanira uwuvuza ivyuma.” Igihe uwo muvuzi yavuza, ukuboko kwa Data wa twese kuramwinjiramwo.

¹⁶Aravuga ati: “Ibi ni vyo Data wa twese avuga: Nimwuzuze iki kibande imyobo myinshi. ¹⁷Kuko ibi ni vyo Data wa twese avuga: Ntmuzobona umuyaga canke imvura, yamara iki kibande kizokwuzura amazi, muze munywe—mwebwe, ibitungwa vyanyu, n’ibikoko vyanyu. ¹⁸Iki ni ikintu gito mu maso yanje; azoshira na Mowabu mu maboko yanyu. ¹⁹Muzotsinda igisagara cose gikomeye n’igisagara cose cteganywe neza, mutema igiti cose ciza, mwugare amasôko yose y’amazi, mwonone imirima yose myiza mu kuyitera amabuye.”

²⁰Mu gitondo, mu gihe c’ishikanwa ry’intete, amazi aca aza giturumbuka avuye mu ruhande rwa Edomu, igihugu cuzura amazi.

²¹Abanyamowabu bose bumvise ko abami baje kubarwanya, nuko umugabo wese ashoboye kugira intwaro no hejuru akoranywa; bahagarara ku rubibe. ²²Bavyutse kare; izuba ryaka ku mazi, Abanyamowabu babona amazi ari imbere yabo atukura nk’amaraso. ²³Baravuga bati: “Amaraso! Abami bararwanye bicana. Noneho, Mowabu, ku minyago!”

²⁴Mugabo bashitse ku nkambi ya Isiraeli, Abisiraeli barahaguruka batsinda Abanyamowabu, bahunga imbere yabo. Isiraeli yinjira mu gihugu, ikubita Abanyamowabu uko bagenda. ²⁵Basambura ibisagara. Ku murima wose mwiza umugabo wese yatamwo ibuye gushika uruzizwa. Bwugara amasôko yose y’amazi batema n’igiti cose ciza, basiga gusa amabuye ya Kiri-haresheti, abavuza amabuye bakikuza bakayarwanya. ²⁶Umwami wa Mowabu abonye ko urugamba rumukomereye, atora abagabo amajana indwi bakeba inkota ngo baturuke bashike ku mwami wa Edomu, mugabo barananirwa. ²⁷Nuko atora imfura yiwe, uwomusubirira, aramushikana ho igitambo kigirira hejuru y’urukuta. Ishavu rikomeye riza kuri Isiraeli, nuko bava kuri we basubira mu gihugu cabo.
