Umukuru w'ingabo za Ashuri ahagarara inyuma y'urukuta avuga mu rurimi rw'Abayuda kugira ngo uwumviriza wese yumve: Egiputa ni urubingo rumenetse, Hezekiya ntashobora kubakiza, nta mana y'ihanga na rimwe yari yaduhagarika. Yemeza mbere ko Uhoraho ari we yamurungitse. Abantu bumvira umwami ntibagira ico basubiza.
36 1Mu mwaka ugira cumi na kane w’umwami Hezekiya, Senakeribu umwami w’Abashuri yateye ibisagara vyose vy’i Yuda bizitiye, arabifata. 2Umwami w’Abashuri arungika Rabushake afise ingabo nyinshi avuye i Lakishi aja i Yeruzalemu ku mwami Hezekiya. Ahagarara ku rwunga rw’amazi y’icogero co hejuru, ku nzira ija ku Murima w’Abamesu. a a v2 Rabushake ryari izina ry’icubahiro ry’igisirikare c’Abashuri, risa n’umukuru w’ingabo canke umukuru w’intwaro. 3Eliyakimu mwene Hilukiya, umukuru w’ingoro, na Shebuna umwanditsi, na Yowa mwene Asafu umwandika-vyose, baraza iwe.
4Rabushake arababwira ati: “Ni mubwire Hezekiya muti: Umwami ahambaye, umwami w’Abashuri, avuga ati: Ni ubuhe buhombozi wizigiye?
5Uvuga ngo urafise inama n’inguvu zo kurwana, mugabo ivyo ni amajambo gusa. None ni nde wizigiye ku buryo wangumukiye? 6Raba, wizigiye uru rutsima rwivunitse, ari ryo Misiri, uruhenda ukuboko kwa we rukagucumita nukwishimika kuri rwo. Uko ni ko Farawo umwami w’e Misiri ameze ku bamwizigira bose. 7Nimba umbwira uti: ‘Twizigiye Uhoraho Imana yacu’, mbega si we Hezekiya yakuyeko uduhinga twiwe n’ibicaniro vyiwe, abwira Yuda na Yeruzalemu ati: ‘Mutegerezwa gusenga imbere y’iki gicaniro’? b b v7 Rabushake avuga izina rya Uhoraho kugira abeshye, atari ukugira asenge. FHB igumiza ‘Uhoraho’ aho kuvuga ‘Data wa twese’ igihe abakengeza b’abapagani bakoresha iryo zina batazi Data bavuga. 8None nugirane urubanza na shebuja, umwami w’Abashuri: Nzoguha amafarasi 2000, nimba ushobora kuyashira abagendeshi. 9None wosubiza inyuma gute n’umukuru umwe, mbere n’umutoyi mu basuku ba shebuja, kandi wizigiye Misiri ku bijanye n’amakariro n’abagendesha amafarasi? 10None mbega naduze nteye iki gihugu kugira ngo ndakizimanganize ntabijejwe na Uhoraho? Uhoraho yambwiye ati: Duga uteze iki gihugu, ukizimanganize.”
11Maze Eliyakimu na Shebuna na Yowa babwira Rabushake bati: “Turagusavye, vugana abasuku bawe mu rurimi rw’Igiarameya, kuko turuzi. Ntuduvugishe mu rurimi rw’Igiyuda mu matwi y’abantu bari ku rukuta.” c c v11 ‘Igiyuda’ hano bisobanura ururimi rw’Igiheburayo, ari rwo rurimi abantu b’i Yuda bavuga buri musi.
12Rabushake arishura ati: “Mbega shebuja yanyungitse kugira mvuge ivyo kuri shebuja no kuri wewe gusa, atari ku bagabo bicaye ku rukuta, abategerezwa kurya amabi yabo no kunywa umukoyo wabo hamwe namwe?” 13Maze Rabushake arahagarara, aravuga n’ijwi rirenga mu rurimi rw’Igiyuda ati: “Nimwumve amajambo y’umwami ahambaye, umwami w’Abashuri! 14Umwami avuga ati: Ntimureke Hezekiya ngo abahende; ntashobora kubarokora. 15Ntimureke Hezekiya abatume kwizigira Uhoraho, avuga ati: ‘Uhoraho azokurokora koko; iki gisagara ntikizotabwa mu maboko y’umwami w’Abashuri.’ 16Ntimwumvirize Hezekiya. Umwami w’Abashuri avuga ati: Ni mugiranire amahoro nanje, muze iwanje. Umwe wese muri mwebwe azorya ku muzabibu wiwe no ku mutini wiwe, kandi umwe wese muri mwebwe azonywa amazi avuye mw’iriba ryiwe, 17gushika aho nzozira nkabajana mu gihugu kimeze nk’igihugu canyu, igihugu c’intete n’umuvinyu mushasha, igihugu c’umukate n’imirima y’imizabibu. 18Ntimureke Hezekiya ngo abahende avuga ati: ‘Uhoraho azoturokora.’ Mbega hariho imana y’igihugu na kimwe yarokoye igihugu cayo mu kuboko kw’umwami w’Abashuri? 19Imana za Hamati na Arupadi ziri hehe? Imana za Sefaruvayimu ziri hehe? Mbega zararokoye Samariya mu kuboko kwanje? 20Ni iyihe mu mana zose z’ibihugu vyose yarokoye igihugu cayo mu kuboko kwanje, ngo Uhoraho arokore Yeruzalemu mu kuboko kwanje?”
21Baraceceka, ntibamwishura n’ijambo na rimwe, kuko itegeko ry’umwami ryari ngo: “Ntimumwishure.”
22Maze Eliyakimu mwene Hilukiya, umukuru w’ingoro, na Shebuna umwanditsi, na Yowa mwene Asafu, umwandika-vyose, baza kwa Hezekiya bafise impuzu zitabutse, baramumenyesha amajambo ya Rabushake.
