Dawudi akoresha ibarura ry’umuryango w’Abayisraheli

¹ Sekibi atera Israheli, yoshya Dawudi kubarura Abayisraheli.

² Dawudi abwira Yowabu n’abatware b’umuryango, ati «Mugende, mubarure Abayisraheli muhereye i Berisheba kugera i Dani, maze muzambwire umubare wabo, nywumenye.»

³ Yowabu aravuga, ati «Uhoraho nakube umuryango we mo incuro ijana! Shobuja Mwami, ese abo bose si abagaragu bawe? Shobuja se, ibyo bigushishikarije iki? Kandi ni iki cyatuma Israheli yazabiryozwa?»

⁴ Ariko itegeko ry’umwami riganza Yowabu, aragenda, azenguruka Israheli yose, hanyuma agaruka i Yeruzalemu.

⁵ Nuko Yowabu ashyikiriza Dawudi imibare y’abantu babaruwe. Abayisraheli bose bari abagabo miliyoni imwe n’ibihumbi ijana bashoboraga kurwanisha inkota, naho Abayuda bakaba abagabo ibihumbi magana ane na mirongo irindwi bashoboraga kurwanisha inkota.

⁶ Nyamara muri bo Yowabu ntiyari yabaruriyemo Abalevi n’Ababenyamini, kuko itegeko ry’umwami ryari ryamubabaje cyane.

Imana ihana Dawudi

⁷ Imana ntiyishimira ibyari bibaye, nuko ihana Israheli.

⁸ Dawudi abwira Imana, ati «Ni icyaha gikomeye nakoze. None rero, ndakwinginze ngo ubabarire ikosa ry’umugaragu wawe, kuko nakoze nk’umusazi!»

⁹ Uhoraho abwira Gadi, umushishozi wa Dawudi, ati

¹⁰ «Genda ubwire Dawudi, uti ’Dore uko Uhoraho avuze: Ngushyize imbere ibihano bitatu. Hitamo kimwe muri byo, maze nzabe ari cyo nguhanisha.»

¹¹ Nuko Gadi asanga Dawudi, aramubwira ati «Uhoraho aravuze ngo: Muri ibi, uko ari bitatu, icyo uhisemo ni ikihe?

¹² Ari amapfa y’imyaka itatu, ari ukumara amezi atatu uhunga umwanzi waguhagurukiye, cyangwa se mu minsi itatu ukarimburwa n’umumalayika w’Uhoraho, agateza icyorezo mu gihugu cyose? Ubu ngubu tekereza, maze umbwire icyo ngomba gusubiza Uwantumye.»

¹³ Dawudi abwira Gadi, ati «Ndashobewe! Reka ngwe mu maboko y’Uhoraho kuko impuhwe ze ari nyinshi cyane, aho kugwa mu maboko y’abantu!»

¹⁴ Nuko Uhoraho ateza Israheli icyorezo, hapfa abantu ibihumbi mirongo irindwi muri Israheli.

¹⁵ Imana yohereza malayika i Yeruzalemu kugira ngo ayirimbure. Nk’aho yayirimbuye, Uhoraho arabireba maze agira impuhwe. Abwira malayika w’umurimbuzi, ati «Birahagije! Ubu ngubu hina ukuboko!» Ubwo malayika w’Uhoraho yarahagaze ku mbuga ya Orunani w’Umuyebuzi.

¹⁶ Dawudi yubuye amaso abona malayika w’Uhoraho ahagaze hagati y’isi n’ijuru, afite mu ntoki inkota itari mu rwubati, ayerekeje kuri Yeruzalemu. Dawudi n’abakuru bambaye ibigunira, barambarara ku butaka bubamye.

¹⁷ Dawudi abwira Imana, ati «Ese si jye wategetse ko abantu babarurwa? None se si jyewe wacumuye kandi nkagira nabi? Ariko se ririya shyo ryakoze iki? Uhoraho Mana yanjye, ukuboko kwawe nikube ari jye gushikamira, jyewe n’uru rugo rwanjye, ariko umuryango wose uwurokore iki cyorezo!»

Dawudi yubakira urutambiro Uhoraho

¹⁸ Malayika w’Uhoraho ategeka Gadi kubwira Dawudi, ati «Dawudi nazamuke yubake urutambiro rw’Uhoraho ku mbuga ya Orunani w’Umuyebuzi!»

¹⁹ Dawudi arazamuka nk’uko Gadi yari abimubwiye mu izina ry’Uhoraho.

²⁰ Orunani yahuraga ingano; ahindukiye abona malayika, nuko abana be bane bari kumwe na we bajya kwihisha.

²¹ Dawudi asanga Orunani, nuko Orunani aritegereza abona umwami; ako kanya ava ku mbuga, yunama imbere ya Dawudi, akoza uruhanga ku butaka.

²² Nuko Dawudi abwira Orunani, ati «Mpa imbuga yawe, tuyigure maze nyubakeho urutambiro rw’Uhoraho. Yimpe turayigura ku giciro cya feza ikwiye, maze dutsinde iki cyorezo!»

²³ Orunani asubiza Dawudi, ati «Yitwarire, maze databuja umwami ayikoreshe uko ashaka. Reba, n’ibimasa ndabiguhaye bibe ibitambo bitwikwa, nguhaye n’ibiti byakururaga bibe inkwi, naho ingano zibe ituro; byose ndabiguhaye!»

²⁴ Ariko umwami Dawudi abwira Orunani, ati «Oya! Ndabigura ku giciro cya feza gikwiye. Ibyawe sinabifatira Uhoraho ngo mbimutureho ibitambo bitwikwa nta cyo mbiguze!»

²⁵ Nuko Dawudi aha Orunani zahabu ifite uburemere bw’amasikeli magana atandatu kuri iyo mbuga.

²⁶ Dawudi ayubakamo urutambiro rw’Uhoraho kandi atura ibitambo bitwikwa n’ibitambo by’ubuhoro. Yambaza Uhoraho, na we amusubirisha umuriro uvuye mu ijuru ujya ku rutambiro rw’ibitambo bitwikwa.

²⁷ Hanyuma Uhoraho ategeka malayika gusubiza inkota ye mu rwubati.

²⁸ Dawudi rero abonye ko Uhoraho yamusubirije ku mbuga ya Orunani w’Umuyebuzi, ahaturira ibitambo.

²⁹ Muri icyo gihe Inzu y’Uhoraho n’urutambiro rw’ibitambo bitwikwa Musa yari yarubatse mu butayu, byari ahirengeye i Gibewoni.

³⁰ Ariko Dawudi ntiyashoboraga kujyayo ngo ahambarize Imana, kuko yari yarakanzwe n’inkota ya malayika w’Uhoraho.
