1 Mu mwaka ugira indwi Yehu ari ku ngoma muri Isirayeli ni ho Yowashi yaba umwami w’i Buyuda, aganza imyaka mirongo ine ari i Yerusalemu. Nyina yitwa Zibiya, yava i Berisheba. 2 Yehowashi yakoze ivyo Uhoraho abona ko ari vyiza mu nyonga ziwe mu myaka yose yamaze amenyerezwa n’umuherezi Yehoyada. 3 Ariko na we nyene ntiyashoboye gukuraho ibibanza vyo gusengeramwo vyo ku mataba y’imisozi; abantu babandanije gushikanirayo ibimazi no gutuririraho ibimota neza.

4 Umusi umwe, Yowashi abarira abaherezi ati: "Nimwegeranye amahera yashikaniwe Ingoro y’Uhoraho, yaba ayashikanwa n’abaharuwe bose, ayo abantu biyemeje nk’isezerano canke ayo bashikana bavyishakiye. 5 Hanyuma umuherezi wese yakire kuri ayo mahera, ayakoreshe ivyo abona ko bikwiye gusanurwa ku Ngoro."

6 Ariko mu mwaka ugira mirongo ibiri na gatatu Yowashi ari ku ngoma, abo baherezi ntibari bwasanure Ingoro. 7 Nuko Yowashi atumako umuherezi mukuru ari we Yehoyada hamwe n’abandi baherezi ababaza ati: "Ni kubera iki mutarasanura Ingoro? Ntimuze mwongere gukoresha amahera mu vyo mukeneye. Kuva ubu amahera yose ategerezwa gukoreshwa ku vyo gusanura Ingoro gusa." 8 Ba baherezi baca bemera ko batazosubira gutoza amahera mu bantu, kandi ko atari bo ubwabo bazokurikirana ibikorwa vyo gusanura Ingoro.

9 Yehoyada aca afata isandugu ayicako intoboro ku mupfundikizo, ayitereka i ruhande y’igicaniro, ku ruhande rw’i buryo iyo umuntu ariko arinjira mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho. Abaherezi barinda urwinjiriro rw’urusengro bakaja barayishiramwo amahera yose atanzwe mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho. 10 Igihe cose babona ko amashikanwa yabaye menshi muri ya sandugu, umwanditsi w’umwami ari kumwe n’umuherezi mukuru baca baza, bagaharura amahera yaba yatanzwe mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho, bakayashira mu mifuko. 11 Amahera bategekanije akwiye baciye bayaha abashinzwe gukurikirana ibikorwa vy’ingoro. Ni yo bakoresheje mu guhemba abakoze ibikorwa vyo gusanura Ingoro y’Uhoraho, abasakara, ababaji, 12 abubaka impome n’ababaza amabuye. Baragura imbaho, bakabazisha amabuye kugira ngo basanure Ingoro y’Uhoraho, bagatanga n’amahera yose yari akenewe ku gikorwa cose kijanye no gusanura iyo Ngoro.

13 Amahera yatanzwe ntiyakoreshejwe mu gucurisha amabesani, ibikombe canke ibindi bikoresho vyo mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho bicuzwe mu nzahabu no mw’ifeza. 14 Yose yakoreshejwe mu guhemba abakoze ibikorwa vyo gusanura Ingoro y’Uhoraho. 15 Ntibigeze banasaba abo bahaye ayo mahera ngo babereke ingene yakoreshejwe kuko vyaragaragara ko bayakoresheje mu bwizigirwa bwose. 16 Amahera yatangwa n’abantu nk’impongano y’ivyaha ntiyajanwa muri ya sandugu yo mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho. Yari yagenewe abaherezi.

17 Muri ico gihe ni ho Hazayeli umwami w’i Siriya yaduga gutera i Gati, arahigarurira. Mu nyuma y’aho aca aja gutera i Yerusalemu. 18 Ariko Yowashi umwami w’i Buyuda aca afata ivy’agaciro vyose vyari vyareguriwe Uhoraho, vyatanzwe na Yehoshafati, Yehoramu na Ahaziya, ari bo bami batwaye imbere yiwe, afata n’ivyo we ubwiwe yari yareguriye Uhoraho, n’inzahabu zose zari mu bubiko bw’Ingoro y’Uhoraho no mu kirimba c’umwami, abirungikira Hazayeli umwami w’i Siriya, na we abona gusubira inyuma, ntiyatera Yerusalemu.

19 Ibindi vyose vyabaye ku ngoma ya Yowashi, hamwe n’ivyo yakoze vyose, vyaditswe mu gitabu c’ivyabaye ku ngoma z’abami b’i Buyuda. 20 Mu nyuma abatware biwe bamugira inama, bamwicira i Beti-Milo, kw’ibarabara rija i Sila. 21 Abatware bamwicishije bari Yozabadi mwene Shimeyati na Yehozabadi mwene Shomeri. Bompi bari abahanuzi biwe b’abizigirwa. Bamuhamba hamwe na ba sekuru mu Gisagara ca Dawidi. Umuhungu wiwe Amaziya amusubirira ku ngoma.
