2 Abami 3 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

3 ¹Mu mwaka wa cumi n'umunani Yozafati umwami w'u Buyuda ari ku ngoma, Yoramu mwene Ahabu yabaye umwami wa Isiraheli i Samariya, ategeka imyaka cumi n'ibiri. ²Yakoze ibibi mu maso ya Data wa twese, nyamara ntiyangana na se na nyina, kuko yakuye inkingi ya Bāli se yakoze. ³Nyamara yakomeje ku byaha bya Yerobowamu mwene Nebati, wayobeje Abisiraheli; ntiyabivuyemo.

⁴Mesha umwami wa Mowabu yari umworozi w'intama, akajya aha umwami wa Isiraheli abana b'intama ibihumbi ijana n'ubwoya bw'amasekurume y'intama ibihumbi ijana. ⁵Ariko Ahabu amaze gupfa, umwami wa Mowabu agomera umwami wa Isiraheli. ⁶Nuko icyo gihe Umwami Yoramu ava i Samariya, akoranya Abisiraheli bose. ⁷Aragenda, atuma kwa Yozafati umwami w'u Buyuda ati: “Umwami wa Mowabu yarangomeye. Mbese twajyana kurwanya Mowabu?” Arasubiza ati: “Nzajyana. Ndi nkawe, ubwoko bwanjye ni nk'ubwawe, amafarasi yanjye ni nk'ayawe.”

⁸Arabaza ati: “Twazamuka tunyure mu nzira ihe?” Arasubiza ati: “Mu nzira inyura mu butayu bwa Edomu.”

⁹Nuko umwami wa Isiraheli aragenda kumwe n'umwami w'u Buyuda n'umwami wa Edomu. Bagenda bazenguruka iminsi irindwi, nta mazi y'ingabo cyangwa ay'amatungo yabakurikiraga. ¹⁰Umwami wa Isiraheli aravuga ati: “Ni ishyano! Kuko Data wa twese yahamagaye aba bami batatu kugira ngo abashyira mu maboko ya Mowabu.” ^a a v10 N'uyu mwami udafite ukwizera, wihutira kurega, aracyari mu muryango w'Isezerano — avuga izina rya Data nyine atizera.

¹¹Ariko Yozafati aravuga ati: “Mbese nta muhanuzi wa Data wa twese uri hano, kugira ngo tubaze Data wa twese tubinyujije kuri we?” Umwe mu bagaragu b'umwami wa Isiraheli arasubiza ati: “Elisha mwene Shafati ari hano, we wasukaga amazi ku maboko ya Eliya.”

¹²Yozafati aravuga ati: “Ijambo rya Data wa twese riri kuri we.” Nuko umwami wa Isiraheli na Yozafati n'umwami wa Edomu baramanuka bajya iwe.

¹³Elisha abaza umwami wa Isiraheli ati: “Hagati yacu hari iki? Jya ku bahanuzi ba so na nyoko.” Umwami aravuga ati: “Oya—Data wa twese yahamagaye aba bami batatu kugira ngo abashyira mu maboko ya Mowabu.”

¹⁴Elisha aravuga ati: “Ndahiye Data wa twese Nyiringabo zo mu ijuru, we nkorera, iyo ntubaha Yozafati umwami w'u Buyuda, sinari gukureba cyangwa ngo nkwiteho. ¹⁵None nimunzanire umucuranzi.” Uwo mucuranzi akicuranga, ukuboko kwa Data wa twese kuramugwaho.

¹⁶Aravuga ati: “Uku ni ko Data wa twese avuga: Mwuzure iki kibaya ibyobo. ¹⁷Kuko uku ni ko Data wa twese avuga: Ntmuzabona umuyaga cyangwa imvura, nyamara iki kibaya kizuzuramo amazi, munywe—mwebwe n'amatungo yanyu n'inyamaswa zanyu. ¹⁸Iki ni ikintu gito mu maso yanjye; kandi azashyira Mowabu mu maboko yanyu. ¹⁹Muzatsinda buri mujyi ukomeye uzengurutswe n'inkuta na buri mujyi w'indobanure, mutema buri giti cyiza, muziba buri soko ry'amazi, kandi mwangize buri murima mwiza muwuta amabuye.”

²⁰Mu gitondo, igihe cyo gutamba ituro ry'ingano, amazi aza gitumo aturutse mu ruhande rwa Edomu, maze igihugu cyuzuzamo amazi.

²¹Abanyamowabu bose bumvise ko abami baje kubarwanya, nuko bakoranya umugabo wese ushobora kwitwaza intwaro no kurenga; barahagarara ku mupaka. ²²Bazinduka; izuba rirarabagirana ku mazi, maze Abanyamowabu babona amazi ari imbere yabo atukura nk'amaraso. ²³Baravuga bati: “Amaraso! Abami barwanye bicanye. None rero, Mowabu, nimuze gusahura!”

²⁴Ariko bageze mu nkambi ya Isiraheli, Abisiraheli barahaguruka bakubita Abanyamowabu, maze bahunga imbere yabo. Abisiraheli binjira mu gihugu, bakomeza kwica Abanyamowabu. ²⁵Basenya imijyi. Kuri buri murima mwiza umuntu wese yatamo ibuye kugeza uwo murima wuzuye amabuye. Baziba buri soko ry'amazi batema na buri giti cyiza, hasigara gusa amabuye ya Kiri-Harosheti, aho abatera amasimbi bawukikije bawutera. ²⁶Umwami wa Mowabu abonye ko intambara imurusha imbaraga, yafashe abarwanyi b'inkota magana arindwi kugira ngo bacikemo bagere ku mwami wa Edomu, ariko biranga. ²⁷Nuko afata impfura ye, uzamuzungura, amutamba nk'igitambo gikongorwa n'umuriro ku rukuta. Uburakari bukomeye buza ku Isiraheli, nuko bava iwe basubira mu gihugu cyabo.
