Yuda atsinda Liziya

1 Liziya wari Minisitiri w’intebe w’igikomangoma akaba n’umurezi w’umwami, akaba ari na we wari ushinzwe iby’ingoma, yababajwe n’ibyari biherutse kuba.

2 Nuko akoranya ingabo z’abagenza amaguru zigera ku bihumbi mirongo inani n’abarwanira ku mafarasi bose, ajya gutera Abayahudi. Yari agamije guhindura Yeruzalemu yose umujyi w’Abagereki.

3 Yashakaga ko Ingoro yajya yishyura umusoro kimwe n’izindi ngoro zose z’amahanga, kandi akagurisha buri mwaka ibyagenewe Umutambyi mukuru.

4 Ntiyitaye ku bubasha bw’Imana, ahubwo yiringiye ingabo ze zitabarika zigenza amaguru n’ingabo ibihumbi zirwanira ku mafarasi, n’inzovu ze mirongo inani.

5 Nuko Liziya yinjira mu Buyuda agera i Betisuri,ikigo ntamenwa cyari nko mu birometero makumyabiri n’umunani mu majyepfo ya Yeruzalemu arahatera.

6 Yuda n’ingabo ze bumvise ko Liziya yagose ibigo ntamenwa byo mu gihugu bakoranya abaturage, maze bose hamwe batakambira Nyagasani mu maganya n’amarira menshi, kugira ngo abohereze umumarayika mwiza wo kugoboka Abisiraheli.

7 Yuda ubwe aba ari we ubabimburira mu gufata intwaro, ashishikariza n’abandi kwemera kwitanga kimwe na we, kugira ngo barengere abavandimwe babo. Nuko bose bahagurukira icyarimwe bafite umwete mwinshi.

8 Bakiri hafi ya Yeruzalemu, umuntu ugendera ku ifarasi wambaye imyambaro yererana, atunguka imbere y’ingabo zabo azunguza intwaro ze z’izahabu.

9 Nuko bose icyarimwe basingiriza Imana kubera ubuntu bwayo. Koko rero Imana yari yabahaye ubutwari ku buryo uretse no kwica abantu cyangwa ibikōko by’inkazi, bashoboraga no gutobora inkuta z’ibyuma.

10 Bagenda biteguye urugamba, barangajwe imbere n’uwo Nyagasani yari yaboherereje ku buntu bwe kugira ngo abarwanirire.

11 Nuko biroha nk’intare ku banzi babo, bica abasirikari ibihumbi cumi na kimwe bagenza amaguru n’igihumbi na magana atandatu barwanira ku mafarasi, abasigaye barahunga.

12 Abenshi muri bo bahunga ari inkomere kandi bataye intwaro zabo, Liziya na we akiza amagara ye ahunga afite ikimwaro.

Liziya agirana amasezerano y’amahoro n’Abayahudi

13 Liziya ntiyari umupfapfa kuko yatekereje uko yatsinzwe, asanga Abayahudi bari indatsimburwa kubera ko Imana Nyirububasha yabarwaniriraga. Ni cyo cyatumye yohereza intumwa

14 kugira ngo zibasabe bagirane amasezerano y’amahoro ashingiye ku bwumvikane, kandi abasezeranya kuzumvisha umwami ko agomba kubafata nk’incuti.

15 Kubera ko Yuda yari ashishikajwe n’icyagirira rubanda akamaro, yemera inama zose za Liziya. Umwami na we ku ruhande rwe, yemera ibyo Abayahudi bari basabye byose, ari na byo Yuda yari yandikiye Liziya.

28 Nizeye ko mumeze neza, natwe kandi tumeze neza.

29 Menelasi yamenyesheje ko mwifuza gutaha mugasubira ku mirimo yanyu.

30 None rero nijeje imbabazi abantu bose bazashaka gusubira iwabo, mbere y’itariki ya mirongo itatu z’ukwezi kwa Kisantiki.
