Yozafati yifatanya n'inzu ya Ahabu mu bukwe, yemera kujya kurwana i Ramoti y'i Gileyadi, hanyuma agashaka umuhanuzi wa Data wa twese. Mikaya wenyine avuga ibyo yumva koko — intama zatatanye, umwuka w'ikinyoma mu kanwa k'abahanuzi — maze umwambi warashwe utagamije ukerekana ko yavuze ukuri.

Igice cya 18.

Yozafati yari atunze ubukungu n'icyubahiro byinshi, maze yifatanya na Ahabu mu bukwe. Nyuma y'imyaka runaka amanukira kwa Ahabu i Samariya, aho Ahabu yamubagiye intama n'inka nyinshi, we n'abantu bari kumwe na we, amushishikariza gutera Ramoti y'i Gileyadi. Ahabu umwami wa Isiraheli abaza Yozafati umwami w'u Buyuda ati: “Twajyana i Ramoti y'i Gileyadi?” Aramusubiza ati: “Njye ndi nkawe, n'abantu banjye ni nk'abawe; tuzifatanya nawe mu ntambara.”

Ariko Yozafati abwira umwami wa Isiraheli ati: “Banza ushake ijambo rya Data wa twese.”

Nuko umwami wa Isiraheli akoranya abahanuzi, abagabo magana ane, arababaza ati: “Twajya i Ramoti y'i Gileyadi dutere, cyangwa tubireke?” Baramusubiza bati: “Zamuka, kuko Imana izawugabiza umwami.”

Ariko Yozafati aravuga ati: “Mbese nta muhanuzi wa Data wa twese ukiri hano twabariza?”

Umwami wa Isiraheli abwira Yozafati ati: “Hasigaye umwe watubariza Data wa twese, ariko ndamwanga, kuko ntajya ampanurira ikiza, ahubwo ibibi gusa. Ni Mikaya mwene Yimila.” Yozafati aramusubiza ati: “Umwami ntakwiye kuvuga atyo!”

Nuko umwami wa Isiraheli ahamagara umutware, aramubwira ati: “Ihutire kuzana Mikaya mwene Yimila.”

Umwami wa Isiraheli hamwe na Yozafati umwami w'u Buyuda bicaye buri wese ku ntebe ye ya cyami, bambaye imyambaro ya cyami, ku kibuga cyo guhūra kiri ku muryango w'irembo ry'umujyi wa Samariya, abahanuzi bose bahanurira imbere yabo. Sedekiya mwene Kenāna acurisha amahembe y'icyuma, aravuga ati: “Imana iravuga iti: ‘Aya mahembe uzayakubisha Abanyasiriya ukabatsembaho.’ ”

Abahanuzi bose baherako barahanura bamwe bati: “Terera i Ramoti y'i Gileyadi, uzatsinda; Data wa twese azagabiza umwami uwo mujyi.”

Intumwa yatumwe gutumiza Mikaya iramubwira iti: “Amagambo y'abahanuzi yose arashyigikira umwami. Naho wowe ijambo ryawe ribe nk'ayabo, uvuge ikiza.”

Ariko Mikaya aravuga ati: “Ndahiye Data wa twese, nta kindi nzavuga uretse icyo Data abwira.”

Yaje imbere y'umwami, umwami aramubaza ati: “Mikaya we, twajya mu ntambara i Ramoti y'i Gileyadi, cyangwa mbireke?” Aramusubiza ati: “Zamuka utsinde; muzawugabizwa.”

Ariko umwami aramubwira ati: “Nzagera kangahe ngutera iyi ndahiro ngo untangarize ukuri gusa mu izina rya Data wa twese?”

Mikaya aravuga ati: “Nabonye Abisiraheli bose batatanye ku misozi, nk'intama zidafite umushumba. Nuko Data wa twese aravuga ati: ‘Nta databuja bafite; buri wese nasubire iwe amahoro.’ ”

Umwami wa Isiraheli abwira Yozafati ati: “Sinakubwiye ko atari bumpanurire ikiza na kimwe, ahubwo ibibi gusa?”

Mikaya aravuga ati: “Nuko numva ijambo rya Data wa twese: Nabonye Data wa twese yicaye ku ntebe ye ya cyami, ingabo zose zo mu ijuru zimuhagaze iburyo n'ibumoso.

Nuko Data wa twese aravuga ati: ‘Ni nde ushuka Ahabu umwami wa Isiraheli ngo azamuke agwe i Ramoti y'i Gileyadi?’ Umwe yavuga kimwe, undi akavuga ikindi.

Haza umwuka wegera, uhagarara imbere ya Data wa twese, uravuga uti: ‘Ndamushuka.’ Nuko Data wa twese arawubaza ati: ‘Urabigenza ute?’

Uravuga uti: ‘Ndagenda mbe umwuka w'ibinyoma mu kanwa k'abahanuzi be bose.’ Nuko Data wa twese aravuga ati: ‘Uzamushuka ndetse unabishobore. Genda ukore utyo.’

None rero, Data wa twese yashyize umwuka w'ibinyoma mu kanwa ka aba bahanuzi bawe, kandi Data wa twese yiyemeje kuguteza ibyago.”

Nuko Sedekiya mwene Kenāna aregera Mikaya, amukubita urushyi mu musaya, aravuga ati: “Mbese uwo Mwuka w'Imana wanyuze he umvamo ngo uze kuvugana nawe?”

Mikaya aramusubiza ati: “Uzabibona uwo munsi, igihe uzinjira mu cyumba cy'imbere ngo wihishe.”

Umwami wa Isiraheli aravuga ati: “Fata Mikaya umusubize kwa Amoni umuyobozi w'umujyi, no kwa Yowashi umwana w'umwami, ubabwire uti: ‘Umwami aravuze ngo: Mushyire uyu muntu muri gereza, mumuhe umugati n'amazi bike gusa, kugeza igihe nzagarukira amahoro.’ ”

Mikaya aravuga ati: “Niwigera utabaruka amahoro, Data wa twese ntiyavuze anyujijeho.” Hanyuma aravuga ati: “Nimwumve, mwebwe bantu mwese!”

Ahabu agwa nk'uko Data yari yabivuze

Nuko umwami wa Isiraheli ajyana na Yozafati umwami w'u Buyuda, bazamuka bajya i Ramoti y'i Gileyadi. Umwami wa Isiraheli abwira Yozafati ati: “Njyewe ndiyoberanya ninjire mu ntambara, naho wowe wambare imyambaro yawe.” Nuko umwami wa Isiraheli ariyoberanya, bajya mu ntambara. Umwami wa Siriya yari yarategetse abakuru b'ingabo ze barwanira mu magare ati: “Ntimukarwanye undi, yaba muto yaba mukuru, keretse umwami wa Isiraheli wenyine.”

Abakuru b'ingabo barwanira mu magare babonye Yozafati, baravuga bati: “Uwo ni umwami wa Isiraheli,” bamuhindukirana kugira ngo bamurwanye. Ariko Yozafati aravuza induru, maze Data wa twese aramutabara, abakura iruhande rwe. Abakuru b'ingabo barwanira mu magare babonye ko atari umwami wa Isiraheli, bareka kumukurikirana. Hanyuma umugabo arasa umwambi atabigambiriye, ukubita umwami wa Isiraheli aho imyambaro y'icyuma ihurira. Umwami abwira uwamutwaraga igare ati: “Hindukiza igare unkure ku rugamba, kuko nkomeretse.” Urugamba rwakomeye uwo munsi. Umwami wa Isiraheli barekera mu igare rye ahanganye n'Abanyasiriya kugeza nimugoroba, hanyuma apfira izuba rirenga.
