Igice cya 41.

Mu kwezi kwa karindwi, Ishimayeli mwene Netaniya, mwene Elishama, wo mu muryango w'ibwami, akaba yari umwe mu bategetsi bakuru b'umwami, aza kuri Gedaliya mwene Ahikamu i Misipa afite abagabo cumi. Ngaho barasangirira ifunguro i Misipa. Ishimayeli mwene Netaniya arahaguruka, hamwe na ba bagabo cumi bari kumwe na we, maze bakubita Gedaliya mwene Ahikamu, mwene Shafani, inkota, bica uwo muntu umwami wa Babiloni yari yashyize ngo ategeke igihugu. Ishimayeli yishe kandi Abayahudi bose bari kumwe na Gedaliya i Misipa, n'abasirikari b'Ababiloni bari aho, ari bo bagabo b'intwari.

Ku munsi wa kabiri nyuma y'uko Gedaliya yicwa, mbere y'uko umuntu abimenye, abagabo mirongo inani bavuye i Shekemu n'i Shilo n'i Samariya baraza—bogoshe ubwanwa, bashishimura imyambaro yabo, biciye indasago ku mibiri yabo—bazanye amaturo y'ingano n'imibavu bijya mu Nzu ya Data wa twese. Ishimayeli mwene Netaniya ava i Misipa agiye kubasanganira, agenda arira. Abasanga arababwira ati: “Nimuze kuri Gedaliya mwene Ahikamu.” Bageze hagati mu mujyi, Ishimayeli mwene Netaniya n'abagabo be barabica, babajugunya hagati mu iriba. Icumi muri bo babwira Ishimayeli bati: “Ntutwice—dufite ingano za nkungu n'iza bushoki n'amavuta n'ubuki byahishwe mu murima.” Nuko arabakiza, ntiyabica hamwe na ba bandi.

Iriba Ishimayeli yajugunyemo imibiri yose y'abagabo yishe, ryari iriya nini umwami Asa yari yacukuye kubera ko yatinyaga Bāsha umwami wa Isiraheli. Ishimayeli mwene Netaniya aryuzuza intumbi.

Ishimayeli afata abandi bantu bose basigaye i Misipa—abakobwa b'umwami n'abandi bose basigaye i Misipa—abo Nebuzaradani umutware w'abarinzi yari yashinze Gedaliya mwene Ahikamu. Ishimayeli mwene Netaniya arabafata maze ava aho agira ngo yambuke ku Bamoni.

Yohanani mwene Kareya n'abatware b'ingabo bose bari kumwe na we bumvise ibibi byose Ishimayeli mwene Netaniya yakoze, bafata abagabo bose, bajya kurwanya Ishimayeli mwene Netaniya, bamusanga ku cyuzi kinini cy'i Gibeyoni. Abantu bose ba Ishimayeli babonye Yohanani mwene Kareya n'abatware b'ingabo bose bari kumwe na we, baranezerwa. Nuko imbohe zose Ishimayeli yari yavanye i Misipa zirahindukira zijya kuri Yohanani mwene Kareya. Ariko Ishimayeli mwene Netaniya ahunga ava kuri Yohanani, afite abagabo umunani, akomeza ajya ku Bamoni.

Nuko Yohanani mwene Kareya n'abatware b'ingabo bose bari kumwe na we bakura i Misipa abantu basigaye, abo Yohanani yari yakijije kuri Ishimayeli mwene Netaniya nyuma y'uko Ishimayeli yishe Gedaliya mwene Ahikamu—ari bo basirikare n'abagore n'abana n'abatware—yavanye i Gibeyoni. Baragenda, bagera i Geruti-Kimuhamu iri hafi ya Betelehemu, baho bahagarara, berekeje mu Misiri, kuko batinyaga Ababiloni, kubera ko Ishimayeli mwene Netaniya yari yishe Gedaliya mwene Ahikamu, uwo umwami wa Babiloni yari yashyize ngo ategeke igihugu.
