Mu maso h'umuhereza w'umwami hababaye haramenyekana, kandi ukuboko kwiza kwa Data wiwe kuri we, Nehemiya asaba umwami ibiti n'urugendo rutekanye ngo yubake igisagara c'abasokuru biwe casambutse. Agendagenda mu bisigarira vya Yerusalemu wenyene mw'ijoro imbere yo kugira uwo abibwira, hanyuma akoranya abubatsi mu gihe Sanibalati na Tobiya bacokora.
2 1Mu kwezi kwa Nisani, mu mwaka ugira mirongo ibiri w’Umwami Aritaziruzi, umuvinyu wari imbere yiwe; ndawutora ndawuha umwami—sinari nigeze mba n’umubabaro imbere yiwe. a a v1 Nisani kwari ukwezi kwa mbere kw’umwaka w’Abaheburayo, kwaba mu ntango y’itumba (nko muri Ntwarante–Ndamukiza). 2Umwami arambaza ati: “Ni kuki mu maso hawe hababaye, kandi nturwaye? Ivyo bishobora kuba ari umutima ubabaye gusa.” Maze ndatinya cane.
3Mbwira umwami nti: “Umwami arambe ibihe bidashira! Ni kuki mu maso hanje hotobabara, igihe igisagara, ahahambwa ba sokuruza, kiri amatongo, n’amarembo yaco yaturiwe n’umuriro?”
4Umwami arambaza ati: “Usaba iki?” Maze ndasenga Data wa twese uri mw’ijuru, 5nca mbwira umwami nti: “Nimba bishimisha umwami, kandi nimba umusavyi wawe agize ubutoni imbere yawe, ndungike i Yuda, mu gisagara c’amava ba sokuruza, ngo ndakyubake.”
6Umwami, umwamikazi yicaye iruhande yiwe, arambaza ati: “Urugendo rwawe ruzomara igihe kingana iki, kandi uzogaruka ryari?” Vyaramuhimbaye kundungika, nuko ndamuha igihe.
7Mbwira kandi umwami nti: “Nimba bishimisha umwami, mpa amakete ajana ku bategetsi b’intara iri Hakurya y’Uruzi, kugira ngo banyemerere kwambuka gushika mpika i Yuda. 8N’ikete rijana kuri Asafu, umurinzi w’ishamba ry’umwami, kugira ngo ampe ibiti vy’ingiga ku marembo y’igihome kiri hafi y’urusengero, n’urukuta rw’igisagara, n’inzu nzobamwo.” Umwami aremera ivyo nasavye, kuko ukuboko kwiza kwa Data kwari kuri jewe.
9Ngenda ku bategetsi b’intara iri Hakurya y’Uruzi, ndabaha amakete y’umwami. Yari yanungikanye nanje abakuru b’ingabo n’abagendera ku mafarasi. 10Bavyumvise, Sanibalati Umuhoroni na Tobiya umutware w’Umwamoni babirakazwa cane kuko hari uwari waje kurondera ineza y’abantu ba Isirayeli.
Kugendagenda ku bisenge vyasambuwe mw’ijoro
11Nuko nshika i Yeruzalemu, mba ng’aho imisi itatu. 12Nvyuka mw’ijoro ndi kumwe n’abagabo bakeyi. Nta n’umwe nabwiye ivyo Data yari yashize mu mutima wanje ngo ngirire Yeruzalemu. Nta gikoko cari kumwe nanje atari ca kimwe nagendako. 13Mw’ijoro nsohoka nciye ku Rembo ryo mu Mubande, nerekeza ku Riba ry’Imbwebwe, gushika ku Rembo ry’Umwavu, ndaba neza ibisenge vya Yeruzalemu vyasambuwe n’amarembo yaco yaturiwe. 14Nca ndengana ku Rembo ry’Isôko no ku Kidengeri c’Umwami, ariko nta kibanza igikoko nagendako cari gishobora kurengana. 15Mw’ijoro nduga mu mubande, ndaba neza urukuta, ndahindukira, ninjira ku Rembo ryo mu Mubande, maze ndagaruka. 16Abategetsi ntibamenye iyo nagiye canke ico nariko ndakora; kuko ntari nabwira Abayuda, canke abaherezi, canke abakomakomeye, canke abategetsi, canke abandi bokoze igikorwa. 17Maze mvuga nti: “Murabona ingorane zacu: Yeruzalemu kiri amatongo, amarembo yaco yaturiwe. Nimuze, twubake urukuta rwa Yeruzalemu kugira ngo ntitwongere kuba ikimaramare.” 18Ndababwira ingene ukuboko kwiza kwa Data kwari kuri jewe, n’ivyo umwami yari yavuze. Baravuga bati: “Duhaguruke twubake.” Nuko bakomeza amaboko yabo ku gikorwa ciza.
19Sanibalati Umuhoroni, na Tobiya umutware w’Umwamoni, na Geshemu Umwarabu bavyumvise, baratwitwenga baratugaya, bavuga bati: “Ni iki iki mukora? Mugomekera umwami?”
20Ndabishura nti: “Data wa twese uri mw’ijuru ni we azoturonsa intsinzi. Twebwe abasavyi biwe tuzotangura kwubaka, ariko mwebwe nta mugabane, canke uburenganzira, canke ico mwivugira muri Yeruzalemu.”
