Ijambo rya Data Ryavuzwe kuri Ahabu Rirangira

Yehu atuma abategetsi ba Samariya bica abahungu mirongo irindwi ba Ahabu bagatumba imitwe ku irembo, yica buri wene wabo n'umutambyi wese, hanyuma ashukira abasenga Bāli mu munsi mukuru w'uburiganya maze arababaga. Ijambo rya Data wa twese ryo kurwanya Ahabu rirahagaze; Yehu agumana amamasa ya zahabu ya Yerobowamu.

Igice cya 10.

Ahabu yari afite abahungu mirongo irindwi i Samariya. Nuko Yehu yandika inzandiko azohereza i Samariya, ku bategetsi b'umujyi n'abakuru n'abarezi b'abahungu ba Ahabu, aranditse ati: “Uru rwandiko nirukugeraho, kubera ko abahungu ba shobuja bari kumwe namwe, mukaba mufite n'amagare y'intambara n'amafarasi n'umujyi ukomeye n'intwaro, muhisemo umuhungu wa shobuja mwiza kandi ushoboye kurusha abandi, mumwicarike ku ntebe ya se, murwanirire inzu ya shobuja.”

Baratinya cyane, batinya rwose, baravuga bati: “Dore abami babiri ntibashoboye kumuhagarara imbere. Twebwe se twamuhagarara imbere dute?” Umunyanzu w'ingoro n'umutegetsi w'umujyi n'abakuru n'abarezi batuma kwa Yehu bati: “Turi abagaragu bawe, tuzakora ibyo uvuze byose. Nta we tuzimika, ukore ibyiza mu maso yawe.”

Yehu yongera kubandikira urwandiko rwa kabiri ati: “Niba muri kumwe nanjye kandi munyumvira, mufate imitwe y'abahungu ba shobuja muze iwanjye i Yizerēli ejo nk'iki gihe.” Abahungu b'umwami mirongo irindwi bari kumwe n'abanyacyubahiro b'umujyi babarera.

Urwandiko rukigera iwabo, bafata abahungu b'umwami babica bose uko ari mirongo irindwi, bashyira imitwe yabo mu bitebo, bayoherereza Yehu i Yizerēli. Intumwa iramubwira iti: “Bazanye imitwe y'abahungu b'umwami.” Aravuga ati: “Muyirundarunde ibirundo bibiri ku irembo ry'umujyi kugeza mu gitondo.”

Mu gitondo arasohoka, ahagarara imbere y'abantu bose, aravuga ati: “Mwebwe nta cyaha mufite. Ni jye nagambaniye shobuja ndamwica, ariko aba bose ni nde wabishe? Mumenye ko nta jambo na rimwe rya Data ryavuzwe ku nzu ya Ahabu rizagwa hasi ngo ritagerwaho. Data yakoze ibyo yavuze binyuze ku mugaragu we Eliya.”

Nuko Yehu yica abari basigaye bose bo mu nzu ya Ahabu i Yizerēli, n'abanyacyubahiro be n'incuti ze magara n'abatambyi be, ntiyamusigiza n'umwe ucitse ku icumu.

Hanyuma arahaguruka agana i Samariya. Ari mu nzira, ageze i Beti-Ekedi y'Abashumba, Yehu ahura na bene wabo ba Ahaziya umwami w'u Buyuda, arababaza ati: “Muri bande?” Baramusubiza bati: “Turi bene wabo ba Ahaziya, tuje gusuhuza imiryango y'umwami n'iy'umwamikazi nyina w'umwami.”

Aravuga ati: “Mubafate ari bazima!” Barabafata ari bazima, maze babicira ku cyobo cya Beti-Ekedi, abagabo mirongo ine na babiri, ntihasigara n'umwe.

Avuyeyo, ahura na Yehonadabu mwene Rekabu wari umugana. Yehu aramusuhuza, aramubaza ati: “Umutima wawe ukeye kuri jye nk'uko uwanjye ukeye kuri wowe?” Yehonadabu ati: “Ni uko.” Yehu ati: “Niba ari uko, mpa ikiganza cyawe.” Aragiha, maze Yehu aramukurura amwinjiza mu igare.

Aravuga ati: “Ngwino twembi urebe ishyaka mfitiye Data.” Nuko amugendana mu igare rye. Ageze i Samariya, Yehu yica abari basigaye bose ba Ahabu yo, arabatsemba, nk'uko Data yari yabibwiye Eliya.

Yehu Atsemba Ugusenga Bāli

Yehu akoranya abantu bose, aravuga ati: “Ahabu yakoreye Bāli bike, ariko Yehu azamukorera byinshi. None rero munyitaniriza abahanuzi ba Bāli bose, n'abamusenga bose, n'abatambyi be bose, hatabura n'umwe; mfite igitambo gikomeye nzatambira Bāli, kandi uzabura wese ntazabaho.” Ariko Yehu yabikoranye uburiganya, kugira ngo atsembe abasenga Bāli.

Yehu ategeka ati: “Nimutangaze ikoraniro ryeguriwe Bāli.” Nuko bararitangaza.

Yehu atuma mu Bisiraheli bose; abasenga Bāli bose baraza, nta n'umwe wasigaye. Binjira mu nzu ya Bāli, bayuzura kuva impera kugera impera. Yehu abwira umubitsi w'imyambaro ati: “Sohora imyambaro ku basenga Bāli bose.” Arayibasohorera.

Yehu na Yehonadabu mwene Rekabu binjira mu rusengero rwa Bāli. Abwira abasenga Bāli ati: “Mugenzure neza murebe neza ko nta bagaragu ba Data bari hano muri mwe, ahubwo habe abasenga Bāli gusa.”

Binjira gutamba ibitambo n'ibitambo bikongorwa. Yehu yari yashyize abagabo mirongo inani hanze, abahanangiriza ati: “Uzareka wese umwe mu bantu mbashyize mu maboko yanyu akarokoka, ubugingo bwe buzaba ubugingo bwawe.”

Igitambo gikongorwa gikimara gukorwa, Yehu abwira abarinzi n'abategetsi ati: “Nimwinjire mubice, nta n'umwe usohoka.” Babakubita n'inkota, abarinzi n'abategetsi barabajugunya hanze, maze binjira mu cyumba cy'imbere cy'urusengero rwa Bāli. Basohora inkingi zeguriwe Bāli zo mu rusengero rwa Bāli, barazitwika. Basenya inkingi yeguriwe Bāli, basenya urusengero rwa Bāli, barugira umusarani kugeza na n'uyu munsi.

Uko ni ko Yehu yatsembye ugusenga Bāli muri Isiraheli. Nyamara Yehu ntiyava ku byaha bya Yerobowamu mwene Nebati, yayobejemo Isiraheli, ni byo nyana z'izahabu zari i Beteli no i Dani.

Data abwira Yehu ati: “Kubera ko wakoze neza, ukora ibyiza mu maso yanjye, kandi ugakorera inzu ya Ahabu ibyo nari nagambiriye byose, abakomoka kuri wowe bazicara ku ntebe y'ubwami ya Isiraheli kugeza ku gisekuru cya kane.”

Ariko Yehu ntiyitondeye kugenderaho amategeko ya Data, Imana ya Isiraheli, abikuye ku mutima. Ntiyava ku byaha bya Yerobowamu, wayobeje Isiraheli.

Muri iyo minsi Data atangira kugabanyiriza Isiraheli. Hazayeli abatsinda mu gihugu cya Isiraheli hose. Iburasirazuba bwa Yorodani, Gileyadi yose, igihugu cya Gadi na Rubeni na Manase, kuva i Aroweri hafi y'ikibaya cya Arunoni, hanyura muri Gileyadi na Bashani.

Ibindi bikorwa bya Yehu, n'ibyo yakoze byose n'ububasha bwe bwose, ntibyanditswe mu gitabo cyitwa “Ibikorwa by'abami ba Isiraheli”? Yehu ashyingurwa hamwe na ba sekuruza, bamushyingura i Samariya; umuhungu we Yehowahazi amusimbura ku ngoma. Igihe Yehu yamaze ari ku ngoma ya Isiraheli i Samariya ni imyaka makumyabiri n'umunani.
