Esiteri 1 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

1 ¹Ibi vyabaye mu misi ya Kiseruse, uwo Kiseruse yaganza kuva mu Buhindi gushika i Kushi, ku ntara ijana na mirongo ibiri na zirindwi, ^a a v1 Kushi yari igihugu co mu bumanuko bwa Misiri, ku ruzi rwa Nili haruguru, hafi na Sudani ya none na Misiri yo mu bumanuko. ²muri iyo misi, umwami Kiseruse yari yicaye ku ntebe yiwe y’ubwami yari mu gihome c’i Suza, ³mu mwaka wa gatatu w’ubwami bwiwe, aha abakuru biwe bose n’abasavyi biwe inzimano. Ingabo za Perusi na Mediya, abakuru b’igihugu, n’abategetsi b’intara barakoraniye imbere yiwe, ⁴amara imisi ijana na mirongo umunani yerekana ubwiza bwinshi bw’ubwami bwiwe n’icubahiro gihambaye c’ubukuru bwiwe.

⁵Iyo misi imaze guhera, umwami aha abari mu gihome c’i Suza bose, abakuru n’abato, inzimano y’imisi indwi, mu kibanza c’umurima w’ingoro. ⁶Hari amatangara yera y’ipamba n’ay’ubururu abwirizwa n’inyabwonko nziza n’imigozi y’umuyugubwe ku mpeta z’ifeza ku nkingi z’amabuye yera; haba n’ibitanda vy’inzahabu n’iby’ifeza ku kibanza c’amabuye ahishijwe, agizwe n’amabuye y’umuyugubwe, amabuye yera, amasanamu y’amakandagu, n’amabuye y’amabara. ^b b v6 Ibuye ry’umuyugubwe ni ibuye rigumye ry’igishimishamiryango, ryaharirwa cane mu bihe vya kera kubera ibara ryaryo ry’umuyugubwe n’umutuku vyimbitse. ⁷Ibinyobwa vyatangwa mu nkombe z’inzahabu, iyindi itandukanye n’iyindi, umuvinyu w’umwami uhera idasesagurwa ku bugiraneza bw’umwami. ⁸Kunywa vyari bikurikije itegeko: nta gukozwa n’agahato, kuko umwami yari yategetse abakuru b’inzu zose kuha umuntu wese ivyo ashaka.

Umwamikazi Vashuti yanka gukurikira umwami

⁹Umwamikazi Vashuti na we nyene aha abagore inzimano mu ngoro y’ubwami y’umwami Kiseruse.

¹⁰Ku musi ugira indwi, umwami amaze gunezererwa n’umuvinyu, ategeka Mehumani, Bizuta, Harubona, Biguta, Abaguta, Zetari, na Karukasi, abatware barindwi b’abakonyozi b’umwami Kiseruse, ¹¹kuzana umwamikazi Vashuti imbere y’umwami yambaye ikamba ry’ubwami, kugira ngo yereke amoko n’abakuru ubwiza bwiwe, kuko yari mwiza. ¹²Mugabo umwamikazi Vashuti yanka kuza ku itegeko ry’umwami yashikirijwe n’abakonyozi; umwami arashavuzwa cane, ishavu rimwakira imbere.

¹³Nuko umwami abwira abanyabwenge bazi ibihe, kuko icari akamenyero k’umwami kwari ukuzana ikibazo cose imbere y’abahanga bose mu vyagezwe no mu buca manza. ¹⁴Hafi yiwe hari Karushena, Shetari, Adumata, Tarushishi, Meresi, Marusena, Memukani, abakuru barindwi ba Perusi na Mediya, bari babona mu maso h’umwami, bari ab’ikirenga mu bwami. ¹⁵Aravuga ati: “Kw’itegeko, Umwamikazi Vashuti akwiye iki kubera ko yagambarariye itegeko ry’umwami Kiseruse, ryashikirijwe n’abakonyozi?”

¹⁶Memukani abwira umwami n’abakuru ati: “Umwamikazi Vashuti ntiyarenganije umwami wenyene, ahubwo yarenganije n’abakuru bose, n’amoko yose, mu ntara zose z’umwami Kiseruse. ¹⁷Ivyo umwamikazi yakoze bizoshika ku bagore bose, bikabatuma bagaya abagabo babo mu maso yabo, bavuga ngo: ‘Umwami Kiseruse yatumyeko Umwamikazi Vashuti, mugabo ntiyaza.’ ¹⁸Uno musi abagore bakomeye ba Perusi na Mediya bumvise ivyo umwamikazi yakoze bazobibwira gutyo abakuru bose b’umwami, haze agasuzuguro n’uburake bitagira umupaka.

¹⁹Nimba bishimishije umwami, nashinge itegeko ry’ubwami, ryandikwe mu vyagezwe vya Perusi na Mediya, ritazohindurwa, ko Vashuti atazokwongera kuza imbere y’umwami Kiseruse, kandi umwami ahe ubutware bwiwe bw’ubwami uwundi mugore amurusha. ²⁰Igihe itegeko ry’umwami rizokwiragira mu bwami bwiwe bunini bwose, abagore bose bazokubaha abagabo babo, abakuru n’abato.”

²¹Iyo nama irahimbara umwami n’abakuru, umwami akora nk’uko Memukani yavuze. ²²Arungika amakete mu ntara zose z’ubwami, muri buri ntara mu nyandiko yayo bwite, muri buri rwoko mu rurimi rwarwo bwite: ko umugabo wese ategetse urugo rwiwe, akavuga mu rurimi rw’abiwe.
