Abantu ba Data wa twese bejejwe

Nehemiya agaruka avuye kwa wa mwami w'Ubuperesi, asanga Tobiya ahawe icyumba mu bubiko bw'inzu ya Data wa twese, Abalevi basubiye mu mirima yabo badahembwe, ubucuruzi bw'Isabato bukomeje cyane, n'abana badashobora kuvuga ururimi rwa Yuda. Ajugunya hanze ibikoresho, agatangira bushya.

Igice cya 13.

Uwo munsi basomera abantu igitabo cya Musa, basanga handitswe ko nta Munyamoni cyangwa Umumowabu wari kwemererwa kwinjira mu iteraniro rya Data wa twese, kuko batasanganiye Abisiraheli umutsima n'amazi, ahubwo bagahemba Balāmu ngo abavume, nyamara Data wa twese ahindura wa muvumo umugisha. Abantu bakimara kumva Amategeko, bakura muri Isiraheli umuntu wese ukomoka mu banyamahanga.

Mbere y'ibyo, umutambyi Eliyashibu washinzwe ububiko bw'inzu ya Data wa twese, yari afitanye isano rya hafi na Tobiya. Yari yaramuteguriye icyumba kinini, aho basanzwe babikaga amaturo y'ibinyampeke, n'umubavu n'ibikoresho by'Ingoro, na kimwe cya cumi cy'impeke na divayi nshya n'amavuta byagenewe Abalevi n'abacuranzi n'abarinzi b'amarembo, hiyongereyeho n'umuganura w'abatambyi. Muri ibyo byose ntabwo nari i Yeruzalemu, kuko mu mwaka wa mirongo itatu na kabiri w'Aritazeruzi umwami wa Babiloni nari naragiye kwa wa mwami. Hashize igihe nsaba uruhushya rwo kugenda, ngaruka i Yeruzalemu, menya ibibi Eliyashibu yakoreye Tobiya, amukorera icyumba mu bikari by'inzu ya Data wa twese. Birambabaza cyane, maze njugunya hanze y'icyumba ibintu byose byo mu rugo rwa Tobiya. Nuko ntegeka ko ibyumba bihumanurwa, hanyuma mbisubizamo ibikoresho by'inzu ya Data wa twese, n'amaturo y'ibinyampeke n'umubavu.

Nanjye nsanga imigabane y'Abalevi itarahawe, bityo Abalevi n'abacuranzi bakoraga umurimo bakaba barahungiye buri wese mu murima we. Nuko mpana abategetsi nti: “Kuki inzu ya Data wa twese yatereranywe?” Hanyuma nkoranya Abalevi, mbasubiza mu myanya yabo. Nuko Abayuda bose bazana kimwe cya cumi cy'impeke na divayi nshya n'amavuta, babishyira mu bubiko. Nshinga umutambyi Shelemiya, n'umwanditsi Sadoki, n'Umulevi Pedaya kuyobora ububiko, bafatanyije na Hanani mwene Zakuri mwene Mataniya, kuko bari abizerwa; umurimo wabo wari ugabanya ibikoresho abavandimwe babo b'Abalevi.

Unyibuke kubera ibi, Data wanjye; ntuzasibe imirimo y'ubudahemuka nakoreye inzu ya Data wanjye n'imirimo yaryo.

Muri iyo minsi nabonye abantu bo mu Buyuda bakanda ibitangurirwa ku munsi w'isabato, bazana impeke uzuyemo bakazipakira ku ndogobe, hamwe na divayi n'imizabibu n'imitini n'imitwaro y'amoko yose, bakabyinjiza i Yeruzalemu ku munsi w'isabato. Nuko uwo munsi mbihanangiriza kugurisha ibyokurya. Abanyatiri batuyeyo bazanaga amafi n'ibicuruzwa by'amoko yose, bakabigurisha ku munsi w'isabato ku bantu bo mu Buyuda, i Yeruzalemu ubwaho. Nuko mpana abanyacyubahiro b'Abayuda, mbabwira nti: “Ni iki cyago mukora, mukandura umunsi w'isabato? Mbese abakurambere banyu si ko bakoze, kandi Data wa twese si ko yadutereye ibi byago byose, uyu mujyi na byo? None mwongeraho uburakari bwinshi kuri Isiraheli mwandura umunsi w'isabato.”

Nuko ubwo amarembo y'i Yeruzalemu yatangiraga kwijima isabato itarageza, ntegeka ko inzugi zikingwa, ngo zidakingurwa kugeza isabato irangiye. Nshyira abagaragu banjye bamwe ku marembo kugira ngo nta mutwaro winjire ku munsi w'isabato. Rimwe cyangwa kabiri, abacuruzi n'abagurisha ibicuruzwa by'amoko yose bamaraga ijoro hanze y'i Yeruzalemu. Nuko mbahanangiriza, mbabwira nti: “Kuki mumara ijoro iruhande rw'urukuta? Nimubyongera, ndabashyiraho ikiganza.” Kuva ubwo, ntibongera kuza ku munsi w'isabato. Nuko ntegeka Abalevi kwihumanura, bakaza kurinda amarembo, no kweza umunsi w'isabato. Nyibuke no muri ibi, Data wanjye, maze umbabarire ku bwo urukundo rwawe runini.

Muri iyo minsi nanjye nabonye Abayuda bari barongoye abagore b'Abanyashidodi, n'Abanyamoni, n'Abamowabu. Kimwe cya kabiri cy'abana babo bavugaga ururimi rw'i Ashidodi, cyangwa urw'ubundi bwoko, kandi ntibamenye kuvuga ururimi rw'Abayuda. Nuko mpana, mbavuma, nkubita bamwe mu bagabo, mbakurura n'imisatsi. Mbarahiza Data wa twese nti: “Ntimukaheshe abakobwa banyu abahungu babo, cyangwa ngo mufatire abakobwa babo abahungu banyu cyangwa mwebwe ubwanyu. Mbese imishyingiranwe nk'iyi si yo yatumye Salomo umwami wa Isiraheli acumura? Nta mwami wo mu mahanga menshi wamunganyije; Data wa twese yaramukunze, kandi Data wa twese amugira umwami wa Isiraheli yose. Nyamara abagore b'abanyamahanga bamuyobeje na we ubwe. Mbese twabumvira tukora iki cyago kinini cyose, duhemukiye Data wa twese mu kurongora abagore b'abanyamahanga?”

Umwe mu bahungu ba Yehoyada mwene Eliyashibu umutambyi mukuru, yari umukwe wa Sanibalati w'Umuhoroni, nuko ndamwirukana. Ubibuke, Data wanjye, kuko banduje ubutambyi, n'Isezerano ry'ubutambyi n'Abalevi.

Nuko mbahumanura ku byose by'abanyamahanga, kandi nshyiraho imirimo y'abatambyi n'iy'Abalevi, buri wese ku murimo we. Nategura ituro ry'inkwi ku bihe byagenwe, n'imbuto z'umuganura. Unyibuke, Data wanjye, unkundishe neza.
