5 Yehoyada arabategeka ati: “Dore icyo mugomba gukora: mwebwe abashinzwe kurinda inzu y’umwami ku isabato murakora uko bisanzwe, itsinda rya mbere rishinzwe kurinda inzu umwana w’umwami arimo,
6 itsinda rya kabiri rirarinda irembo ryitwa Suru, naho itsinda rya gatatu rirarinda irembo ryitwa iry’Abarinzi. Bityo amatsinda uko ari itatu akajya asimburana kurinda ikigo cy’ibwami.
7 Ku byerekeye imitwe y’ingabo ibiri isigaye idashinzwe kurinda ku isabato, itegetswe kurinda inzu umwami Yowasi abamo mu Ngoro y’Imana.
8 Buri wese agomba kuba yitwaje intwaro buri gihe, kandi mugahora mushagaye umwami igihe cyose. Uzabasatira aho mushinze ibirindiro azicwe.”
9 Nuko abo bagaba b’ingabo babigenza uko umutambyi Yehoyada yabategetse. Buri wese afata abasirikari be, ari abagiye ku izamu ku isabato ari n’abavuye ku izamu, babazanira umutambyi Yehoyada.
10 Bahageze abaha amacumu n’ingabo byari iby’Umwami Dawidi, byari bibitswe mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho.
11 Abasirikari bamaze gufata intwaro bashinga ibirindiro aho umwana w’umwami ari, bakikije urutambiro n’Ingoro y’Uhoraho ubwayo, uhereye mu ruhande rwayo rw’amajyepfo ukagera mu ruhande rwayo rw’amajyaruguru.
12 Nuko Yehoyada azana umwana w’umwami amwambika ikamba, amushyikiriza n’inyandiko irimo amategeko agenga ubwami, amwerekana ku mugaragaro. Bityo bamwimikisha amavuta, rubanda rukoma amashyi ruvuga ruti: “Harakabaho umwami!”
13 Umugabekazi Ataliya yumvise urusaku rw’abarinzi n’urwa rubanda, agenda abasanga mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho.
14 Asanga harimo umwami uhagaze iruhande rw’inkingi y’Ingoro nk’uko umuhango wari uri. Abagaba b’ingabo n’abavuza amakondera bari bamukikije, rubanda rwaturutse imihanda yose rumushyigikiye ruvuza amakondera. Ataliya aherako ashishimura imyambaro ye, arataka cyane ati: “Mbega ubugambanyi, mbega ubugambanyi!”
15 Umutambyi Yehoyada ategeka abagaba b’ingabo ati: “Nimumusohore mumunyuze hagati y’imirongo y’ingabo, ushaka kumukurikira mumwicishe inkota.” Yehoyada yibwiraga ko umugabekazi adakwiye kwicirwa mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho.
16 Nuko baherako baramujyana bamunyuza mu Irembo ry’Amafarasi, bamugejeje ku ngoro y’umwami aba ari ho bamwicira.

17 Yehoyada asaba umwami na rubanda kugirana Isezerano n’Uhoraho ko bamuyobotse, n’umwami agirana amasezerano na rubanda.
18 Rubanda rwose rwiroha ku ngoro ya Bāli ruyirindimurira hasi, intambiro n’amashusho byayo barabimenagura, batsinda Matani umutambyi wa Bāli aho imbere y’intambiro.
Nuko Yehoyada ashyira abarinzi ku Ngoro y’Uhoraho.
19 Afata abagaba b’ingabo, n’ingabo z’Abakari n’abarinzi na rubanda, bashagara umwami kuva ku Ngoro y’Uhoraho bamunyujije ku irembo ry’abarinzi, bamugeza mu ngoro ya cyami maze bamwicaza ku ntebe ya cyami.
