1 Hanyuma ijambo ry’Uhoraho rigera ku muhanuzi Yehu mwene Hanani, ngo abwire Bāsha ati:

3 Ni yo mpamvu ngiye kugutsembana n’inzu yawe nk’uko natsembye iya Yerobowamu mwene Nebati.

4 Uwo mu muryango wa Bāsha uzagwa mu mujyi azaribwa n’imbwa, naho uzagwa ku gasozi azaribwa n’inkongoro.”

5 Ibindi bikorwa n’ubutwari n’ibigwi byose bya Bāsha, byanditswe mu gitabo cyitwa “Ibikorwa by’abami ba Isiraheli.”
