1 Mu mwaka ugira kabiri Yowahazi mwene Yehowahazi ari ku ngoma muri Isirayeli, ni ho Amaziya mwene Yowashi yatangura kuganza i Buyuda. 2 Yari afise imyaka mirongo ibiri n’itanu igihe yimikwa ngo abe umwami, aca aganza imyaka mirongo ibiri n’icenda ari i Yerusalemu. Nyina wiwe yitwa Yehoyadini, w’i Yerusalemu. 3 Akora ivyo Uhoraho abona ko ari vyiza mu nyonga ziwe, ariko ntiyashikira sekuruza Dawidi. Muri vyose yakurikiye ingeso za se Yowashi. 4 Amaziya ntiyashoboye gukuraho ibibanza vyo gusengeramwo vyo ku mataba y’imisozi; abantu babandanije gushikanirayo ibimazi no gutuririraho ibimota neza.

5 Amaze gukomeza ubwami bwiwe, aca afata abatware bishe umwami ari we se arabica. 6 Ariko ntiyica abana b’abo bicanyi, kuko yubashe ijambo ry’Uhoraho ryanditswe mu Gitabu c’Ivyagezwe vya Mose rivuga riti: "Ntihaze hagire umuvyeyi yicwa azira abana biwe, canke abana ngo bicwe bazira abavyeyi babo, umwe wese azozire ivyaha vyiwe."

7 Amaziya ni we yaneshereje abasoda ibihumbi cumi vy’Abanyedomu mu Kiyaya c’Umunyu. Ni na we yigaruriye Sela ayita Yokiteyeli, haracitwa gutyo gushika n’ubu.

8 Umusi umwe Amaziya arungikira intumwa Yehowashi mwene Yehowahazi, Yehowahazi mwene Yehu umwami wa Isirayeli, amubwira ati: "Ingo duhure, tugwane imbonankubone!"

9 Ariko Yehowashi umwami wa Isirayeli yishura Amaziya umwami w’i Buyuda ati: "Muri Libani habaye igitovu, kibwira isederi ry’i Libani kiti: ‘Mpa umukobwa wawe abe umugore w’umuhungu wanje.’ Ariko haca haza igikoko kinini gihonyanga ca gitovu. 10 Ego data waranesheje Edomu none wuzuye ubwibone! Nezererwa intsinzi yawe hanyuma ugume iwawe. Ni kubera iki wikwegera amakuba, ukayakwegera n’Ubuyuda bwose?"

11 Ariko Amaziya ntiyamwumvira, maze Yehowashi umwami wa Isirayeli aratera. We na Amaziya umwami w’i Buyuda bahanganira i Beti-Shemeshi mu Buyuda, bagwana imbonankubone. 12 Abayuda baneshwa n’Abisirayeli, umusoda wese ahunga ataha i muhira iwe. 13 Yehowashi umwami wa Isirayeli acakira Amaziya umwami w’i Buyuda mwene Yowashi, Yowashi mwene Ahaziya, amufatira ahitwa Beti-Shemeshi. Maze Yehowashi aca aja i Yerusalemu, asenyurira hasi uruzitiro rw’i Yerusalemu uhereye kw’Irembo rya Efurayimu ugashitsa kw’Irembo ryo mu Mfuruka, ahantu hangana n’ingero z’igice c’ukuboko amajana ane*. 14 Asahura inzahabu n’ifeza n’ibindi bikoresho vyose vyari mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho hamwe n’ubutunzi bwose bwari mu ngoro y’umwami. Afata n’abantu abagira inyagano, hanyuma asubira i Samariya.

15 Ibindi vyose vyabaye ku ngoma ya Yehowashi, ivyo yakoze hamwe n’ivyo yashitseko, harimwo n’intambara yagwanye na Amaziya, vyanditswe mu gitabu c’ivyabaye ku ngoma z’abami ba Isirayeli. 16 Yehowashi amaze gupfa, ahambwa hamwe na ba sekuruza i Samariya. Umuhungu wiwe Yerobowamu aca aba ari we amusubirira ku ngoma.

17 Amaziya mwene Yowashi umwami w’i Buyuda yamaze imyaka cumi n’itanu inyuma y’urupfu rwa Yehowashi mwene Yehowahazi umwami w’Abisirayeli. 18 Ibindi vyose vyabaye ku ngoma ya Amaziya, mbega ntivyanditswe mu gitabu c’ivyabaye ku ngoma z’abami b’i Buyuda?

19 Maze ab’i Yerusalemu bagira inama yo kumwica, na we aca arahunga aja i Lakishi, ariko barungika abantu bamusanga i Lakishi bamutsindayo. 20 Bamugarukana i Yerusalemu kw’ifarasi, bamuhamba hamwe na ba sekuruza mu Gisagara ca Dawidi.

21 Maze abantu bose b’i Buyuda bahitamwo Uziya, yari afise imyaka cumi n’itandatu, aba ari we bagira umwami mu gishingo ca se Azariya. 22 Inyuma y’urupfu rwa se, Uziya ni we yasubiriye kwubaka igisagara ca Elati, agisubiza ku Buyuda.

23 Mu mwaka ugira cumi na gatanu Amaziya ari ku ngoma i Buyuda, Yerobowamu mwene Yowashi umwami wa Isirayeli ni ho yaza i Samariya atwarirayo imyaka mirongo ine n’umwe. 24 Akora ivyo Uhoraho abona ko ari bibi mu nyonga ziwe, ntiyava mu vyaha vya Yerobowamu mwene Nebati, ivyo yakoze yongera abikwegeramwo Abisirayeli. 25 Ni we yasubijeho imbibe za Isirayeli, kuva i Lebo-Hamati gushika ku kiyaga ca Araba, nk’uko Uhoraho Imana ya Isirayeli yabivugishije umusavyi wiwe Yona mwene Amitayi, umuvugishwa yava i Gati-Heferi.

26 Uhoraho yari yabonye amakuba n’imibabaro Abisirayeli barimwo, baba abagurano canke abidegemvya, ata kibatabara. 27 Kuko Uhoraho atari yarigeze avuga ko azohanagura izina rya Isirayeli kw’isi, abakirisha ukuboko kwa Yerobowamu mwene Yowashi.

28 Ibindi vyabaye ku ngoma ya Yerobowamu, ibijanye n’ukuntu yakomeje igisoda ciwe, intambara yagwanye, n’ingene yagarukanye ibisagara vya Damasiko na Hamati kuri Isirayeli, ibisagara vyari vyarigaruriwe na Yuda, vyanditswe mu gitabu c’ivyabaye ku ngoma z’abami b’Abisirayeli. 29 Yerobowamu arahava ahamvya ba sekuruza, ari bo bami ba Isirayeli. Umuhungu wiwe Zakariya aba ari we amusubirira ku ngoma.
