1 Mu mwaka wa kabiri Yehowasi mwene Yehowahazi ari ku ngoma muri Isiraheli, Amasiya mwene Yowasi yabaye umwami mu Buyuda.

2 Icyo gihe yari afite imyaka makumyabiri n’itanu, amara imyaka makumyabiri n’icyenda ari ku ngoma i Yeruzalemu. Nyina yitwaga Yehoyadini w’i Yeruzalemu.

3 Amasiya yakoze ibinogeye Uhoraho nka se Yowasi, ariko ntiyageza aha sekuruza Umwami Dawidi. Ahubwo yakoze nka se Yowasi muri byose.

4 Icyakora ntibigeze bakuraho ahasengerwaga, rubanda bakomeje kuhatambira ibitambo no kuhosereza imibavu.

5 Amasiya amaze gukomeza ingoma ye, atsemba abagaragu be bari barishe se umwami Yowasi.

6 Icyakora ntiyicisha abana babo akurikije ibyanditswe mu Mategeko y’igitabo cya Musa, aho Uhoraho avuga ati: “Ababyeyi ntibakicwe baryozwa ibyaha by’abana babo, kandi n’abana ntibakicwe baryozwa ibyaha by’ababyeyi. Ahubwo uwakoze icyaha cyo kumwicisha abe ari we wenyine wicwa.”

7 Amasiya amarira ku icumu Abedomu ibihumbi icumi mu kibaya cy’Umunyu, atera umudugudu wa Sela arawigarurira. Kuva ubwo witwa Yokitēli kugeza na n’ubu.

8 Amasiya atuma ku mwami wa Isiraheli Yehowasi mwene Yehowahazi akaba n’umwuzukuru wa Yehu, wigeze kuba umwami wa Isiraheli. Aramubwira ati: “Ngwino turwane imbonankubone!”

9 Nuko Yehowasi umwami wa Isiraheli atuma kuri Amasiya umwami w’u Buyuda ati: “Igihe kimwe igitovu cyo ku bisi bya Libani cyatumye ku giti cy’isederi cy’aho i Libani kiti: ‘Ndagusaba umugeni w’umuhungu wanjye.’ Bukeye inyamaswa inyura kuri icyo gitovu irakiribata.

10 Koko wamariye Abedomu ku icumu none uriyumvamo ikuzo. Ishimire iryo kuzo, ariko tuza ugume iwawe! Kuki wikururira intambara kandi izaguhitana hamwe n’igihugu cy’u Buyuda?”

11 Nyamara Amasiya ntiyita kuri uwo muburo. Nuko Yehowasi umwami wa Isiraheli ajya ku rugamba, ahangana na Amasiya umwami w’u Buyuda barwanira i Beti-Shemeshimu Buyuda.

12 Abayuda bameneshwa n’Abisiraheli barahunga, buri wese ajya iwe.

13 Yehowasi umwami wa Isiraheli afatira i Beti-Shemeshi umwami w’u Buyuda Amasiya mwene Yowasi, akaba n’umwuzukuru wa Ahaziya. Nuko ajya i Yeruzalemu asenya urukuta ruzengurutse umujyi, kuva ku irembo rya Efurayimu kugera ku irembo ry’Inguni, hareshya hafi na metero magana abiri.

14 Nuko asahura izahabu n’ifeza n’ibindi bikoresho byose byari mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho, n’ibyari mu bubiko bw’ibwami. Atwara abantu ho ingwate maze yisubirira i Samariya.

16 Hanyuma Yehowasi yisazira amahoro, bamushyingura i Samariya hamwe n’abami ba Isiraheli. Umuhungu we Yerobowamu amusimbura ku ngoma.
