2 Uhoraho yongera kumubonekera nk’uko yari yamubonekeye i Gibeyoni.

3 Uhoraho aramubwira ati: “Amasengesho wangejejeho untakambira nayumvise. Ingoro wanyubakiye nyigize umwihariko wanjye, ni yo nzasengerwamo ibihe byose. Nzajya nyitaho iteka ryose, ndetse nzajya nyihoza ku mutima.

4 “Nawe rero nunyobokana umutima uboneye utagira amakemwa nk’uko so Dawidi yabigenje, ugakora ibyo ngutegetse byose kandi ugakurikiza amateka yanjye n’ibyemezo nafashe,

5 nzashimangira ingoma yawe mu Bisiraheli ubuziraherezo. Koko rero nasezeraniye so Dawidi nti: ‘Ntihazabura ugukomokaho ugusimbura ku ngoma ya Isiraheli.’

6 “Nyamara mwebwe n’abazabakomokaho, nimunteshukaho mukareka kunyoboka, mukareka gukurikiza amabwiriza n’amateka nabahaye maze mukayoboka izindi mana, mukazikorera kandi mukaziramya,

7 icyo gihe nzamenesha Abisiraheli mu gihugu nabahaye, n’iyi Ngoro ngize umwihariko wanjye nzayizinukwa. Abisiraheli bazaba iciro ry’imigani kandi abanyamahanga babahindure urw’amenyo.

8 Nubwo iyi Ngoro ari akataraboneka, icyo gihe abazahanyura bose bazatangara maze bimyoze bati: ‘Ni iki cyatumye Uhoraho agenza atya iki gihugu n’iyi Ngoro?’

9 Abandi bazabasubiza bati: ‘Abisiraheli baretse Uhoraho Imana ya ba sekuruza yabavanye mu Misiri. Bayobotse izindi mana baraziramya, ndetse barazikorera. Ngicyo icyatumye Uhoraho abateza ibi byago byose.’ ”
