⁷ Mwikurikiza abasokuruza banyu n’abavandimwe banyu bacumuye kuri Uhoraho, Imana y’abasekuruza babo, bigatuma abarimbura nk’uko mubibona.

¹¹ Nyamara abantu bamwe b’i Asheri, Manase, na Zabuloni, biyumvamo ikosa, bajya i Yeruzalemu.

¹² Muri Yuda na ho ikiganza cy’Imana kibatera guhuza umugambi wo kubahiriza icyo umwami n’abanyacyubahiro be bari bategetse, bishingiye ku ijambo ry’Uhoraho.

¹⁵ Ku munsi wa cumi n’ine w’ukwezi kwa kabiri batura ibitambo bya Pasika. Abaherezabitambo n’abalevi bakozwe n’isoni baritagatifuza kandi bazana ibitambo bitwikwa mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho.

¹⁶ Bari bahagaze mu myanya yabo nk’uko byari umuhango wabo, kandi bakurikije itegeko rya Musa, umuntu w’Imana; nuko abaherezabitambo bakamisha amaraso bazaniwe n’abalevi.

¹⁷ Kubera ko hari abantu benshi mu ikoraniro batitagatifuje, abalevi bagombaga kubaga amatungo ya Pasika bakayatura Uhoraho mu kigwi cy’abadatunganye bose.

¹⁸ Koko rero abantu benshi, cyane cyane Abefurayimu, Abamanase, Abisakari n’Abazabuloni ntibari bisukuye, barya Pasika banyuranyije n’ibyanditswe. Nuko Hezekiya abasabira, agira ati

¹⁹ «Uhoraho Mana y’abasekuruza bacu, mu bugwaneza bwawe babarira abagushakashaka n’umutima wabo bose, n’ubwo baba batitagatifuje nk’uko bitegetswe!»

²⁰ Uhoraho yumvira Hezekiya, maze arokora imbaga.

²¹ Abayisraheli bari i Yeruzalemu bizihiza mu minsi irindwi ibirori by’imigati idasembuye bishimye cyane, naho abalevi n’abaherezabitambo basingizaga Uhoraho buri munsi, bavuza ibyuma birangira, bubahiriza Uhoraho.

²² Amagambo ya Hezekiya anyura imitima y’abalevi bose biteguriye Uhoraho, maze bakurikirana ibirori mu gihe cy’iminsi irindwi batura ibitambo by’ubuhoro kandi bashimira Uhoraho, Imana y’abasekuruza babo.

²³ Hanyuma ikoraniro ryose ryumvikana ko bongeraho indi minsi irindwi, nuko na yo bayimara banezerewe.

²⁴ Koko rero, Hezekiya, umwami wa Yuda, yari yahaye ikoraniro ibimasa igihumbi n’amatungo magufi ibihumbi birindwi, abanyacyubahiro bariha ibimasa igihumbi n’amatungo magufi ibihumbi cumi. Abaherezabitambo bari bitagatifuje ari benshi cyane.

²⁵ Ikoraniro ryose ry’Abayuda ririshima, hamwe n’abaherezabitambo, n’abalevi, n’ikoraniro ryavuye muri Israheli, n’abaturage bavuye mu gihugu cya Israheli kandi batuye muri Yuda.

²⁶ I Yeruzalemu haba ibyishimo byinshi, kuko kuva ku ngoma ya Salomoni mwene Dawudi, umwami w’Abayisraheli, nta bindi nk’ibyo byigeze bibaho i Yeruzalemu.

²⁷ Hanyuma abaherezabitambo b’abalevi barahaguruka, basabira abantu umugisha ku Mana: amajwi yabo arumvikana kandi amasengesho yabo agera mu ijuru, aho Nyir’ubutagatifu atuye.
