Amaziya ayima ku ngoma y'u Buyuda

Amaziya yica abishe se ariko akarama abana babo, nk'uko amategeko ya Data wa twese avuga. Amaze gutsinda Edomu, ashakana intonganya na Isiraheli maze ahabwa umugani w'ihwa nk'igisubizo, hanyuma aratsindwa; urukuta rwa Yeruzalemu rurasenywa. Nyuma abantu be ubwabo na bo baramwica.

Igice cya 14.

Mu mwaka wa kabiri Yowashi mwene Yehowahazi umwami wa Isiraheli ari ku ngoma, Amaziya mwene Yowashi yabaye umwami w'u Buyuda. Yabaye umwami afite imyaka makumyabiri n'itanu, amara imyaka makumyabiri n'icyenda ari ku ngoma i Yeruzalemu. Nyina yitwaga Yehowadini w'i Yeruzalemu. Yakoze ibyiza imbere ya Data wa twese, ariko ntiyakoze nka se Dawidi; yakoze ibyo se Yowashi yakoze byose. Icyakora ahantu h'impinga hagumyeho; abantu bakomeza gutambiraho no gutwikirayo imibavu. Ubwami bumaze gushikama mu kuboko kwe, yica abagaragu bishe umwami se.

Ariko ntiyishe abana b'abo bishi, nk'uko byanditswe mu gitabo cy'Amategeko ya Musa, aho Data wa twese yategetse ati: “Ba se ntibapfe bazira abana babo, n'abana ntibapfe bazira ba se babo; umuntu wese azapfa azira icyaha cye.”

Yishe Abedomu ibihumbi cumi mu kibaya cy'Umunyu, afata Sela ku rugamba, ayita Yokitēli, ni ryo zina ryaho na n'ubu.

Amaziya yohereza intumwa kuri Yehowashi mwene Yehowahazi, mwene Yehu, umwami wa Isiraheli, ati: “Ngwino turebane mu maso.”

Ariko Yehowashi umwami wa Isiraheli asubiza Amaziya umwami w'u Buyuda, ati: “Ihwa ryo muri Libani ryoherereza isederi yo muri Libani ubutumwa, riti: ‘Ha umuhungu wanjye umukobwa wawe abe umugore we.’ Nuko inyamaswa yo muri Libani iranyura ikandagira iryo hwa. Watsinze Edomu, kandi umutima wawe urakuzuye ubwibone. Irate ibyo, ariko uguma iwawe. Kuki witeza amakuba, ngo ugwe, wowe n'u Buyuda bukujyanye?”

Ariko Amaziya yanga kumva, nuko Yehowashi umwami wa Isiraheli arasatira, maze we n'Amaziya umwami w'u Buyuda barebana mu maso i Beti-Shemeshi mu Buyuda. U Buyuda butsindwa na Isiraheli, buri wese ahungira iwe. Yehowashi umwami wa Isiraheli afata Amaziya umwami w'u Buyuda, mwene Yehowashi mwene Ahaziya, i Beti-Shemeshi, aza i Yeruzalemu, asenya urukuta rwaryo intera ya metero magana abiri, uhereye ku Irembo rya Efurayimu ukageza ku Irembo ry'Inguni. Afata izahabu yose n'ifeza n'ibikoresho byose byari mu nzu ya Data wa twese no mu mazu y'ububiko by'umwami, hamwe n'abo yafashe ingwate, maze asubira i Samariya.

Ibindi bikorwa bya Yehowashi, n'ibyo yakoze, n'ubutwari bwe, n'uko yarwanye n'Amaziya umwami w'u Buyuda, mbese ntibyanditswe mu gitabo cyitwa “Ibikorwa by'abami ba Isiraheli”? Yehowashi aruhukana na ba sekuruza, ashyingurwa i Samariya hamwe n'abami ba Isiraheli; umuhungu we Yerobowamu amusimbura ku ngoma.

Amaziya mwene Yowashi umwami w'u Buyuda yabayeho imyaka cumi n'itanu Yehowashi mwene Yehowahazi umwami wa Isiraheli amaze gupfa. Ibindi bikorwa bya Amaziya, mbese ntibyanditswe mu gitabo cyitwa “Ibikorwa by'abami b'u Buyuda”? Baramugambanira i Yeruzalemu; ahungira i Lakishi, ariko bamwoherereza abantu i Lakishi bamwicira yo. Bamutwaza amafarasi; ashyingurwa i Yeruzalemu hamwe na ba sekuruza, mu Murwa wa Dawidi.

Abantu bose b'u Buyuda bafata Azariya w'imyaka cumi n'itandatu, bamugira umwami mu cyimbo cya se Amaziya. Yongera kubaka Elati, ayigarurira u Buyuda, nyuma y'uko umwami aruhukana na ba sekuruza.

Impuhwe za Data wa twese kuri Isiraheli

Mu mwaka wa cumi n'itanu Amaziya mwene Yowashi umwami w'u Buyuda ari ku ngoma, Yerobowamu mwene Yowashi umwami wa Isiraheli yima ingoma i Samariya, amara imyaka mirongo ine n'umwe. Yakoze ibibi imbere ya Data wa twese, ntiyava ku byaha byose bya Yerobowamu mwene Nebati, watoje Abisiraheli gukora ibyaha. Yagaruye umupaka wa Isiraheli uhereye i Lebo-Hamati ukageza ku Nyanja ya Araba, nk'uko Data wa twese, Imana ya Isiraheli, yavuze ku munwa w'umugaragu we Yonasi mwene Amitayi, umuhanuzi wo i Gati-Heferi. Kuko Data wa twese yabonye ko imibabaro ya Isiraheli yari iremereye cyane, nta wasigaye, yaba imbata cyangwa umwidegemvya, nta wari usigaye wo gufasha Isiraheli. Ariko Data wa twese ntiyari yaravuze ko azasiba izina rya Isiraheli munsi y'ijuru, bityo abakiza akoresheje ukuboko kwa Yerobowamu mwene Yowashi. Ibindi bikorwa bya Yerobowamu n'ibyo yakoze, n'ubutwari bwe, n'uko yarwanye, n'uko yagaruriye u Buyuda Damasi na Hamati mu Isiraheli, mbese ntibyanditswe mu gitabo cyitwa “Ibikorwa by'abami ba Isiraheli”? Yerobowamu aryamana na ba sekuruza, abami ba Isiraheli; umuhungu we Zakariya amusimbura ku ngoma.
