1 ¹Ibi byabaye mu gihe cya Kserisi, wa Kserisi watwaye kuva mu Buhindi kugeza i Kushi, ategeka intara ijana na mirongo ibiri na zirindwi, ^a a v1 Kushi cyari igihugu cyo mu majyepfo ya Misiri, ku ruzi rwa Nili rwo haruguru — ni ho hagera mu gihugu cya Sudani n'amajyepfo ya Misiri ya none. ²muri iyo minsi, ubwo Umwami Kserisi yari yicaye ku ntebe ye ya cyami mu kigo ntamenwa cya Suza, ³mu mwaka we wa gatatu ari umwami, akorera abatware be n'abagaragu be bose ibirori. Ingabo za Perisi na Mediya, n'abanyacyubahiro, n'abatware b'intara bari bakoranye imbere ye, ⁴mu minsi ijana na mirongo inani yerekana ikuzo ry'ubutunzi bw'ubwami bwe n'icyubahiro gihebuje cy'ubwiza bwe.

⁵Iyo minsi imaze gushira, umwami akorera ibirori by'iminsi irindwi abantu bose bari mu kigo ntamenwa cya Suza, abakuru n'abato, mu rugo rw'ubusitani bw'ingoro ya cyami. ⁶Hari imyenda yera y'ipamba n'iy'ubururu ifashwe n'imigozi y'isine ya nyirarureshwa n'iy'umutuku, ihambira ku mpeta za feza ziri ku nkingi z'amabuye y'imarimari; ibitanda by'izahabu n'ibya feza biri ku busate bw'amabuye y'ishozi ya porofiri, n'imarimari, n'amasaro, n'amabuye y'amabara atari amwe. ^b b v6 Porofiri ni ibuye rikomeye ryo gutaka, ryari rihabwa agaciro kenshi mu bihe bya kera kubera ibara ryaryo ry'umuhemba ukomeye n'umutuku. ⁷Barahereza ibyokunywa mu bikombe by'izahabu, buri kimwe gitandukanye n'ikindi, na divayi ya cyami idudubiza ku bugwaneza bw'umwami. ⁸Kunywa kwakurikizaga itegeko: nta guhatirwa — umwami yari yarategetse abatware bose b'ingo ngo bahe buri muntu icyo ashaka.

Umwamikazi Vashiti yanga umwami

⁹Umwamikazi Vashiti na we akorera abagore ibirori mu ngoro ya cyami ya Umwami Kserisi.

¹⁰Ku munsi wa karindwi, ubwo divayi yari yashimishije umwami, ategeka Mehumani na Bizita na Harubona na Bigita na Abagita na Zetari na Karukasi, ba bagabo b'ibyūko barindwi ba Umwami Kserisi, ¹¹ngo bazane Umwamikazi Vashiti imbere y'umwami yambaye ikamba rya cyami, ngo yerekane uburanga bwe imbere y'amahanga n'abatware, kuko yari mwiza. ¹²Ariko Umwamikazi Vashiti yanga kuza nk'uko umwami yari yabitegetse binyujijwe mu bagabo b'ibyūko; umwami ararakara cyane, uburakari bumwakiramo.

¹³Nuko umwami abwira abanyabwenge bari bazi ibihe — kuko byari umuco w'umwami kujyana ibibazo byose imbere y'abahanga bose b'amategeko n'urubanza. ¹⁴Iruhande rwe hari Karushena na Shetari na Adimata na Tarushishi na Meresi na Marusena na Memukani — abatware barindwi ba Perisi na Mediya babonaga mu maso h'umwami, bakaba bo ku rwego rwo hejuru mu bwami. ¹⁵ati: “Nk'uko amategeko ateganya, ni iki cyacirwa Umwamikazi Vashiti kubera kutumvira itegeko rya Umwami Kserisi ryamugejejweho n'abagabo b'ibyūko?”

¹⁶Memukani abwira umwami n'abatware ati: “Umwamikazi Vashiti ntiyahemukiye umwami wenyine, ahubwo yahemukiye abatware bose, n'amahanga yose, mu ntara zose za Umwami Kserisi. ¹⁷Icyo umwamikazi yakoze kizagera ku bagore bose, bikabatera gusuzugura abagabo babo mu maso yabo, bavuge bati: ‘Umwami Kserisi yatumyeho Umwamikazi Vashiti ntiyaza.’ ¹⁸Uyu munsi abagore b'abanyacyubahiro b'i Perisi na Mediya bumvise imyifatire y'umwamikazi na bo bakabwira batyo abatware b'umwami bose — bityo ntihazabura gusuzugurana no kurakara.

¹⁹Umwami nibimushimisha, atange itegeko rya cyami, ryandikwe mu mategeko ya Perisi na Mediya, ritazahinduka, ko Vashiti atazongera kuza imbere ya Umwami Kserisi, maze umwami ahe uwo mwanya we wa cyami undi mugore umuruta. ²⁰Itegeko ry'umwami rimaze gukwira mu bwami bwe bwose bunini, abagore bose bazaha icyubahiro abagabo babo, abakuru n'abato.”

²¹Iyo nama ishimisha umwami n'abatware, maze umwami akora nk'uko Memukani yari yabivuze. ²²Yohereza inzandiko mu ntara zose za cyami, buri ntara hakurikijwe inyandiko yayo bwite, buri bwoko mu rurimi rwabo bwite: buri mugabo abe ari we utegeka urugo rwe, kandi avuge mu rurimi rw'ubwoko bwe bwite.
