Manase yica byose yuko byari: ahasengerwa yongera kuhubaka, intambiro z'inyenyeri zo mu ijuru mu Ngoro, umwana we bwite aramutambira, agisha inama abaraguza, amaraso y'inzirakarengane yuzuza Yeruzalemu. Data avuga ko azahanagura uwo mujyi nk'isahani. Amoni akurikiza ingeso za se, bakamwicira mu ngoro ye.

Igice cya 21.

Manase yimye afite imyaka cumi n'ibiri, ategeka imyaka mirongo itanu n'itanu i Yeruzalemu. Nyina yitwaga Hefusiba. Yakoze ibibi mu maso ya Data, akurikiza ibizira by'amahanga yirukanye imbere y'Abisiraheli. Yongera kubaka ahasengerwa se Hezekiya yari yarasenye, yubakira Bāli intambiro, akora n'inkingi yeguriwe Ashera nk'uko Ahabu umwami wa Isiraheli yabigenje, apfukamira ingabo zose zo mu ijuru akazikorera.

Yubaka intambiro mu Nzu ya Data, iyo yavuze ati: “I Yeruzalemu ni ho nzashyira izina ryanjye.”

Mu mbuga zombi z'Inzu ya Data yubakira intambiro ingabo zose zo mu ijuru. Yatambiye umwana we bwite mu muriro, akora uburozi n'uburaguzi, akagisha inama abaterekēra abazimu n'abashitsi. Yakoze ibibi byinshi mu maso ya Data amurakaza.

Ishusho ya Ashera yari yarabajije ayishyira mu Nzu Data yari yarabwiye Dawidi n'umwana we Salomo ati: “Muri iyi Nzu no mu Yeruzalemu, aho natoranyije mu miryango yose ya Isiraheli, ni ho nzashyira izina ryanjye iteka ryose. Sinzongera gutuma ibirenge by'Abisiraheli bitatira igihugu nahaye ba sekuruza babo, nibitondera kubahiriza byose nabategetse, bazubahirize Amategeko yose umugaragu wanjye Musa yabahaye.”

Nyamara ntibumvira; Manase arabayobya bakora ibibi birenze iby'amahanga Data yarimbuye imbere y'Abisiraheli.

Nuko Data avuga abinyujije ku bagaragu be b'abahanuzi ati:

“Kubera ko Manase umwami w'u Buyuda yakoze ibyo bizira, ibibi birenze iby'Abamori bamubanjirije bose, kandi akayobya u Buyuda bakora ibyaha n'ibigirwamana bye, ni cyo gituma Data, Imana ya Isiraheli, avuga ati: Dore ngiye kuzana amakuba kuri Yeruzalemu no ku Buyuda, ku buryo uzabyumva wese azakubitwa n'inkuba mu matwi yombi.

“Kuri Yeruzalemu nzarambura umugozi wo gupimisha wa Samariya n'ibura ry'inzu ya Ahabu; nzahanagura Yeruzalemu nk'uko umuntu ahanagura isahani, ayihanagura hanyuma akayihindura. Nzatererana abasigaye bo mu murage wanjye, mbagabize abanzi babo, babe umuhigo n'iminyago by'abanzi babo bose, kubera ko bakoze ibibi mu maso yanjye, bakandakaza uhereye ku munsi ba sekuruza babo bavuye mu Misiri kugeza n'uyu munsi.”

Manase yamennye amaraso menshi y'inzirakarengane ku buryo yuzuza Yeruzalemu impera n'impera, usibye icyaha yayobejemo u Buyuda, akora ibibi mu maso ya Data.

Ibindi bikorwa bya Manase, byose yakoze, n'icyaha yakoze, byanditswe mu gitabo cyitwa “Ibikorwa by'abami b'u Buyuda”. Manase aryama iruhande rwa ba sekuruza, bamushyingura mu busitani bw'ingoro ye, mu busitani bwa Uza. Umwana we Amoni amusimbura ku ngoma.

Amoni Ategeka Agatererana Data

Amoni yimye afite imyaka makumyabiri n'ibiri, ategeka imyaka ibiri i Yeruzalemu. Nyina yitwaga Meshulemeti, umukobwa wa Haruzu, w'i Yotuba. Yakoze ibibi mu maso ya Data, nk'uko se Manase yabigenje. Yakurikije inzira zose za se, akorera ibigirwamana se yakoreraga akabipfukamira. Yatereranye Data, Imana ya ba sekuruza, ntiyagenda mu nzira ya Data. Abatware ba Amoni baramugambanira, bicira umwami mu ngoro ye bwite. Ariko abantu bo mu gihugu bica abamugambaniye bose Umwami Amoni, maze bimika umwana we Yosiya mu cyimbo cye. Ibindi bikorwa bya Amoni, byanditswe mu gitabo cyitwa “Ibikorwa by'abami b'u Buyuda”. Bamushyingura mu mva ye yo mu busitani bwa Uza, maze umwana we Yosiya amusimbura ku ngoma.
