Eliya ahungira ubuzima bwe
Iterabwoba rimwe rya Yezebeli rituma Eliya ahungira mu butayu asaba gupfa. Umumarayika aramugaburira kabiri, maze i Horebu umuyaga, umutingito, n'umuriro birahita Data wacu atari muri byo. Akayaga gahuhera kamusubizayo afite abagabo batatu bo gusiga amavuta.
19 1Ahabu abwira Yezebeli ibyo Eliya yakoze byose, n'uko yishe abahanuzi bose n'inkota. 2Yezebeli yohereza intumwa kuri Eliya iti: “Imana zinyicire bityo, zikananyongerera, nintaba ngize ubugingo bwawe nk'ubw'umwe muri bariya bahanuzi mu gihe nk'iki ejo.”
3Eliya aratinya, arahaguruka, ahungira ubuzima bwe, agera i Bērisheba y'i Buyuda, maze asiga umugaragu we aho. 4We ubwe akomeza urugendo rw'umunsi umwe mu butayu, aza kwicara munsi y'igiti cy'umwanzuranya kimwe, maze asaba gupfa. Aravuga ati: “Birahagije, Data. Ngaho twara ubugingo bwanjye, kuko ntarusha ba data.”
5Nuko aryama asinzira munsi y'uwo mwanzuranya. Umumarayika aramukora, aramubwira ati: “Haguruka urye.”
6Areba, dore iruhande rw'umutwe we hari umugati wokejwe ku mabuye ashyushye, n'icupa ry'amazi. Ararya aranywa, ongera kuryama. 7Umumarayika wa Data wa twese agaruka ubwa kabiri, aramukora, aramubwira ati: “Haguruka urye, kuko urugendo rukurenze.”
8Nuko arahaguruka, ararya aranywa, maze ashishikajwe n'ibyo byokurya, akomeza urugendo rw'iminsi mirongo ine n'amajoro mirongo ine, agera i Horebu, umusozi wa Data wa twese.
Umwuko woroheje wa Data
9Ahageze yinjira mu buvumo, araramo. Nuko ijambo rya Data wa twese rimugeraho riti: “Urakorana iki hano, Eliya?”
10Arasubiza ati: “Narwaniye ishyaka rikomeye Data Nyiringabo. Abisiraheli bimūye Isezerano ryawe, basenya intambiro zawe, bicisha inkota abahanuzi bawe. Nsigaye jyenyine, none bashaka ubugingo bwanjye kugira ngo babunyake.”
11Data wa twese aravuga ati: “Sohoka uhagarare ku musozi imbere yanjye; ngira nkurezeho.” Nuko umuyaga ukomeye kandi w'imbaraga uratemagura imisozi, ujanjagura n'ibitare imbere ya Data wa twese, ariko ntiyari muri uwo muyaga. Nyuma y'umuyaga haba umutingito w'isi, ariko ntiyari muri uwo mutingito.
12Nyuma y'umutingito haba umuriro, ariko Data wa twese ntiyari muri uwo muriro. Nyuma y'umuriro haza ijwi ry'umwuko woroheje.
13Eliya aryumvise, apfuka mu maso ye mu mwitero we, arasohoka, ahagarara ku muryango w'ubuvumo. Nuko ijwi rimugeraho riti: “Urakorana iki hano, Eliya?”
14Arasubiza ati: “Narwaniye ishyaka rikomeye Data Nyiringabo. Abisiraheli bimūye Isezerano ryawe, basenya intambiro zawe, bicisha inkota abahanuzi bawe. Nsigaye jyenyine, none bashaka ubugingo bwanjye kugira ngo babunyake.”
15Data wa twese aramubwira ati: “Subira inzira wazeho, ujye mu butayu bwa Damasi. Ugezeyo uzasīge Hazayeli amavuta, umwime umwami wa Aramu. 16Uzasīge na Yehu mwene Nimushi amavuta, umwime umwami w'Isiraheli, kandi usīge Elisha mwene Shafati w'i Abeli-Mehola amavuta, umwime umuhanuzi mu cyimbo cyawe. 17Uwuzarokoka inkota ya Hazayeli, Yehu azamwica; n'uwuzarokoka inkota ya Yehu, Elisha azamwica. 18Nyamara nzasigaza mu Isiraheli abantu ibihumbi birindwi, ari bo bose batarapfukamiye Bāli, n'iminwa yose itaramusomye.”
Data ahamagara Elisha
19Nuko Eliya aragenda, asanga Elisha mwene Shafati ahinga afite ibimasa bibiri na bibiri byikoranye, we ubwe ayobora ibya cumi na bibiri. Eliya aramwegera, amujugunyaho umwitero we. 20Elisha areka ibimasa, yiruka inyuma ya Eliya, aravuga ati: “Reka mbanze nsome data na mama mbasezereho, maze nkomeze nkugendere.” Eliya aramusubiza ati: “Subirayo. Mbese nagize iki kuri wowe?”
21Nuko Elisha arasubirayo, afata ibimasa bye byombi, arabibaga. Akoresha ibikoresho by'iby'ihinga nk'inkwi, ateka iyo nyama, ayiha abantu, nabo bararya. Hanyuma akurikira Eliya, aramukorera.
