1 Uyo Yehoshafaati anateerwa naꞌBamohabu, naꞌBahamooni, kuguma naꞌBamehuni. 2 Abandu baguma banayiji múbwira: «E mwami, kwokuno akatundu kaꞌbasirikaani ukulyoka i Hedoomu, bayiji kuteera. Balyosiri i kajabo keꞌNyaaja yoꞌMuunyu. Na buno, bakola i Hasasoni-Tamaari (kuli kudeta: i Heni-Gedi).»

3 Uyo Yehoshafaati, mbu ayuvwe kwokwo, anateerwa neꞌkyoba bweneene, anahuuna Nahano kwo amúrongoore, anamenyeesa Abayuda booshi kwo bayishalise. 4 Abandu ba mu twaya twoshi tweꞌBuyuda banakuumana i Yerusaleemu, banahuuna Nahano kwo abatabaale.

5 Yabo bandu booshi, Yehoshafaati anayimuka mu kati kaabo, imbere lyoꞌlubuga luhyahya lweꞌnyumba ya Nahano. 6 Anahuuna kwokuno: «E Nahano Rurema wa bashokuluza biitu, wehe we Rurema úli mwiꞌgulu! We na twaziri amaami gooshi ga mu kihugo. We mwene ubushobozi bwoshi neꞌmisi, ndaanaye gundi úkusumbiri.

7 «E Rurema witu, ikyanya abandu baawe Abahisiraheeri bakayingira mu kino kihugo, ka utali we kashindibuka ku batuulaga baamwo? Mukuba, Hiburahimu âli riiri mwira wawe. Na kino kihugo, we kakiheereza aba mu kibusi kyage, halinde imyaka neꞌmyakuula. 8 Na buno, mwo bakoli tuuziri, keera banakuyubakira inyumba, halinde iziina lyawe likizi longa ulushaagwa.

9 «Banadeta: “Hali ikyanya twangalonga amakayu, ngiꞌzibo, kandi iri kiija, kandi iri ishali. Haliko, iri twangayiji yimanga imbere lyeꞌyi nyumba yawe, tunakutakire, ugatuyuvwiriza, unatukize.”

10 «Ikyanya bashokuluza biitu bakalyoka i Miisiri, ukababuza kwo batalenge mu kihugo kyaꞌBahamooni, kandi iri mu kyaꞌBamohabu, kandi iri mu bandu beꞌmigazi yeꞌSeyiri. Na bwo bakalenga mu gindi njira, kyanatuma batagabaminika.*20.10 Bukengeeze 2.4-19. 11 Lolaga buno, kwo bakola mu tuyihoola. Ikihugo kyo ukatuheereza kwo bube buhyane bwitu, keera bayija mbu batuyimule mwo. 12 Yaba basirikaani ábatuyijira, bali katundu. Tutanashobwiri imbere lyabo. Aaho! Kuti kwo tugaagira? Si tulangaliiri ubutabaazi imwawe! Bwo we Rurema witu, wenyene ubahane.»

13 Yabo bashosi booshi beꞌBuyuda, bâli yimaaziri yaho imbere lya Nahano, kuguma na bakaabo naꞌbaana baabo. 14 Lyeryo ngana, Umutima gwa Nahano gwanahikira Mulaawi muguma, iziina lyage ye Yahazyeri. Uyo Yahazyeri âli riiri mugala Zakariya, mwijukulu Benaya. Benaya naye, âli mugala Yehiyeri, mwijukulu Matania, wa mwiꞌkondo lya Hasafu.

15 Uyo Yahazyeri anadeta kwokuno: «E bandu beꞌBuyuda, naꞌbeꞌYerusaleemu, kiri na mwami Yehoshafaati! Mundegage amatwiri. Nahano amùbwira kwokuno: “Mutayobohe. Yaba basirikaani, kundu balyagagi kanyegete, mutayilibuze hiꞌgulu lyabo. Kundu bali kandaharuurwa, haliko yiri izibo, mutali mwe mugalilwa. Si liri lya Rurema yenyene!†20.15-17 Bukengeeze 20.1-4.

16 «“Kusheezi, ku kyanya bagazamuukira ku higangazi hyeꞌZiizi, munamanuke, munagendi bateera. Mugabagwana ku mbeka yeꞌndekeera íri uluhande lweꞌsheere lwiꞌshamba lyeꞌYeruheeri. 17 Mutali mwe mugabalwisa. Mugwanwe naaho mukoli yimaaziri ho. Kwokwo, munalindire, halinde mubone ngiisi kwo Nahano agamùhimira. E maashi bandu beꞌBuyuda, naꞌbeꞌYerusaleemu! Mutayobohe, mutanashenguke imitima. Kusheezi, mugendi balangiiza naaho. Nahano, mugayamanwa.”»

18 Ulya mwami Yehoshafaati, iri akayuvwa kwokwo, anayinama, anahisa amalanga haashi, kuguma naꞌbandu booshi beꞌBuyuda, naꞌbeꞌYerusaleemu. Yabo booshi, banayikumba Nahano. 19 Lyeryo, Abalaawi baguma ba mwiꞌkondo lya Kohaati, naꞌba mu lya Koora, banayimanga, banahuuza Nahano Rurema waꞌBahisiraheeri, mu kumúyimbira kwiꞌzu lihamu bweneene.

20 Iri bukakya shesheezi kare-kare, banazindukiri vyuka, banagenda halinde mwiꞌshamba lyeꞌTekowa. Neꞌri bakaba bakiri mu njira, uyo Yehoshafaati anayimuka, anababwira kwokuno: «E bandu beꞌBuyuda, naꞌbeꞌYerusaleemu! Mundegage amatwiri. Mubiike umulangaaliro imwa Rurema Nahamwinyu. Kwokwo, lyo mugaaba musikamiri. Mugubiike neꞌmwa baleevi baage, lyo mulonga ukugenduukirwa.»

21 Yehoshafaati, iri akahanuusa abandu, anatoola abimbi, bagwanwe imbere lyaꞌbasirikaani, bakizi yimbira Nahano, iri banamúyivuga hiꞌgulu lyoꞌbulangashane bwaꞌkahebuuza. Banayimba kwokuno:

22 Ku kyanya bakatondeera ukuyimba noꞌkuhuuza Nahano, anabuligania abagoma. Haaho, abasirikaani baꞌBahamooni, na baꞌBamohabu naꞌbandi ba mu migazi yeꞌSeyiri banatondeera ukuteerana boonyene ku boonyene. 23 Abahamooni naꞌBamohabu banayubukira abatuulaga ba mu migazi yeꞌSeyiri, banabaminika booshi. Neꞌri bakaba keera babaminika, banayubukirana boonyene ku boonyene.

24 Balya basirikaani beꞌBuyuda, ikyanya bakahikaga ku niizo mwiꞌshamba, banalangiiza uluhande lwaꞌbagoma, banabona ibirunda bilambamiri ngiisi handu. Ndaaye kiri na woꞌmuti úkafuuka.

25 Kwokwo, Yehoshafaati naꞌbasirikaani baage banagendi shahula ibindu, banatwala ingaavu kanyamwala, neꞌbirugu bingi, neꞌbyambalwa, neꞌbindi bindu byeꞌkishingo. Yibyo bindu, bwo byâli riiri katundu, kyanatuma bagaahisa isiku zishatu bagweti bagabishahula.

26 Ku lusiku úlugira izina banakuumana mu Ndekeera yoꞌBugashaane, banayikumba Nahano ku byoshi byo akabagirira. Kyo kitumiri iyo ndekeera iri mu detwa Ndekeera yoꞌBugashaane, halinde zeene.

27 Uyo Yehoshafaati, ikyanya Nahano akaba keera amúhimira abagoma baage, anagaluka ku kisegengo, ali kuguma naꞌbasirikaani baage, banahika halinde i Yerusaleemu ku bushambaale.

28 Neꞌri bakahika yo, bayami genda mu nyumba ya Nahano, bagweti bagaalasa ibinanda, neꞌmiduuli, iri banadihiriza ibibuga.

29 Abandu baꞌmaami gooshi, mbu bayuvwe ngiisi kwo Nahano keera ahima abagoma baꞌBahisiraheeri, banayami gwatwa neꞌkyoba bweneene.

30 Uyo Yehoshafaati yehe, Rurema anamúluhuusa imbande zooshi, anatwala mu kati koꞌbutoge.

31 Mwami Yehoshafaati, ikyanya akayima mu kihugo kyeꞌBuyuda, âli kola neꞌmyaka makumi gashatu niꞌtaanu, anahisa imyaka makumi gabiri niꞌtaanu atwaziri i Yerusaleemu. Nyina ye wâli Hazuba munyere Shirihi.

32 Yehoshafaati âli kizi gira íbikwaniini imbere lya Nahano, nga kwo yishe Hasa âli kizi bigira. Atanahabuka mu bindi-bindi. 33 Kundu kwokwo, atakahongola imbeero zoꞌkuyikumbira imigisi ku marango. Kiri naꞌBahisiraheeri batâli fitiirwi lwoshi-lwoshi mu kubiika imitima imwa Rurema wa bashokulu baabo.

34 Uyo Yehoshafaati, agandi magambo ágakakoleka mu butwali bwage, ukulyokera ku ndondeko halinde ku mbeka, gali mayandike mu kitaabo kya Yehu mugala Hanani. Yikyo kitaabo, kiri mwaꞌmagambo mingi hiꞌgulu lyaꞌbaami baꞌBahisiraheeri.

35 Ha nyuma, uyo mwami Yehoshafaati weꞌBuyuda, anayibiika ku Ahaziya, mwami waꞌBahisiraheeri. Noꞌyo Ahaziya ye wâli kizi yagaza Nahano. 36 Yabo baami bombi, banayibiika kuguma, banagendi yubakiisa amashuba ku kyambu kyeꞌHezyoni-Gebeeri, gira gakizi gendi dandaliza i mahanga.

37 Haliko Heryezeeri mugala Dodawa, wa mu kaaya keꞌMaresha, anatanga ubuleevi hiꞌgulu lya Yehoshafaati, ti: «Ewe! Bwo wayibiikaga ku Ahaziya, galya mashuba gooshi go mwayubakiisa, Nahano agagavungula-vungula.»

Neꞌri hakatama, yago mashuba ganavunguka, gatanaki gendi dandaza.
