< 2 Ebyomumirembe 12 >
1 Awo Lekobowaamu bwe yanywera ku bwakabaka, n’aba mugumu, ye ne Isirayiri yonna ne bava ku mateeka ga Mukama.
Mushure mokunge chinzvimbo chaRehobhoamu samambo chasimbiswa, uye paakanga asimba, iye neIsraeri yose pamwe chete vakasiya murayiro waJehovha.
2 Mu mwaka ogwokutaano ogw’obufuzi bwa kabaka Lekobowaamu, Sisaki kabaka w’e Misiri n’alumba Yerusaalemi kubanga tebaali beesigwa eri Mukama.
Nokuti vakanga vasina kutendeka kuna Jehovha, Shishaki mambo weIjipiti akarwisa Jerusarema mugore rechishanu ramambo Rehobhoamu.
3 N’ajja n’amagaali lukumi mu bibiri, n’abeebagala embalaasi emitwalo mukaaga, ate n’abaserikale ab’ebigere bangi nnyo: Abalubimu, n’Abasukkiyimu, n’Abaesiyopiya okuva e Misiri.
Nengoro chiuru namazana maviri navatasvi vamabhiza zviuru makumi matanhatu navarwi vokuRibhiya, Suki neEtiopia vakanga vasingaverengeki vaakauya navo kubva kuIjipiti,
4 N’awamba ebibuga ebiriko bbugwe ebya Yuda n’atuuka n’e Yerusaalemi.
akakunda maguta enhare eJudha kusvika kuJerusarema.
5 Awo Semaaya nnabbi n’agenda eri Lekobowaamu n’eri abakulembeze ba Yuda abaali bakuŋŋaanidde mu Yerusaalemi olw’okutya Sisaki, n’abagamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Mwanvaako, nange kyenvudde mbawaayo mu mukono gwa Sisaki.’”
Ipapo muprofita Shemaya akauya kuna Rehobhoamu nokuvatungamiri veJudha vakanga vaungana muJerusarema vachitya Shishaki, akati kwavari, “Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Makandirasa; naizvozvo zvino ndava kukurasirai kuna Shishaki.’”
6 Awo abakulembeze ba Isirayiri, nga bali wamu ne kabaka ne beetoowaza ne boogera nti, “Mukama asala bulungi emisango.”
Vatungamiri veIsraeri namambo vakazvininipisa vakati, “Jehovha akarurama.”
7 Awo Mukama bwe yalaba okwetoowaza kwabwe, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Semaaya nti, “Beetoowazizza noolwekyo siribazikiriza. Ndibalokola, era n’obusungu bwange tebulifukibwa ku Yerusaalemi nga buyita mu mukono gwa Sisaki.
Jehovha paakaona kuti vazvininipisa, shoko iri raJehovha rakauya kuna Shemaya richiti, “Nokuda kwokuti vazvininipisa, handichavaparadzi asi munguva pfupi ndichavadzikinura. Kutsamwa kwangu hakuchadururirwa paJerusarema kubudikidza naShishaki.
8 Wabula baliba baddu be, balyoke bategeere enjawulo eriwo wakati w’okumpeereza n’okuweereza bakabaka baamawanga amalala.”
Zvisinei hazvo, vachava pasi pake kuti vadzidze mutsauko uri pakati pokundishumira nokushumira madzimambo edzimwe nyika.”
9 Awo Sisaki kabaka w’e Misiri n’alumba Yerusaalemi n’atwala obugagga obw’omu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’obugagga obw’omu lubiri lwa kabaka, n’atwala buli kintu kyonna, era n’atwala n’engabo eza zaabu Sulemaani ze yali akoze.
Shishaki mambo weIjipiti paakarwisa Jerusarema akatakura pfuma yomutemberi yaJehovha nepfuma yomumuzinda wamambo. Akatora zvose kusanganisira nhoo dzegoridhe dzakanga dzagadzirwa naSoromoni.
10 Awo kabaka Lekobowaamu n’akola engabo ez’ekikomo okudda mu kifo kyaziri eza zaabu, n’azikwasa abaduumizi b’abambowa abaakuumanga wankaaki ow’olubiri lwa kabaka.
Saka Mambo Rehobhoamu akagadzira nhoo dzendarira kutsiva idzo dzakanga dzatorwa akadzipa vakuru vavarindi vaiva pabasa pamukova wokupinda mumuzinda woumambo.
11 Buli kabaka bwe yalaganga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, abakuumi baazeetikkanga nga bamuwerekera, n’oluvannyuma ne bazizaayo mu kisenge ky’abakuumi.
Pose paienda mambo kutemberi yaJehovha, varindi vaienda naye, vakabata nhoo idzi uye vapedza vaizodzidzorera kuimba yavarindi.
12 Lekobowaamu bwe yeetoowaza, Mukama n’alekeraawo okumusunguwalira n’atasaanyizibwawo ddala, ne mu Yuda ne mubaamu emirembe.
Nokuti Rehobhoamu akazvininipisa kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwakabva kwaari, uye haana kuparadzwa zvachose. Zvirokwazvo makava nezvimwe zvakanaka muJudha.
13 Kabaka Lekobowaamu ne yeenyweza mu Yerusaalemi, n’afuga nga ye kabaka. Yalina emyaka amakumi ana mu gumu we yafuukira kabaka, era n’afugira emyaka kkumi na musanvu mu Yerusaalemi, ekibuga Mukama kye yalonda mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri n’ateekamu Erinnya lye. Nnyina erinnya lye ye yali Naama Omwamoni.
Mambo Rehobhoamu akazvisimbisa kwazvo muJerusarema akaramba ari mambo. Akanga ane makore makumi mana nerimwe chete paakava mambo uye akatonga kwamakore gumi namanomwe muJerusarema, guta raJehovha raakanga azvisarudzira pamarudzi ose eIsraeri kuti aise Zita rake. Zita ramai vake rainzi Naama; vaiva muAmoni.
14 Lekobowaamu n’akola ebibi, n’atamalirira kunoonya Mukama mu mutima gwe.
Akaita zvakaipa nokuti akanga asina kuisa mwoyo wake pakutsvaga Jehovha.
15 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Lekobowaamu okuva ku ntandikwa ye okutuusa ku nkomerero ye, tebyawandiikibwa mu byafaayo bya Semaaya nnabbi n’ebya Iddo omulabi? Ne wabangawo entalo wakati wa Lekobowaamu ne Yerobowaamu.
Mabasa okutonga kwaRehobhoamu kubva kutanga kwake kusvikira kwokupedzisira, haana kunyorwa here mubhuku renhoroondo raShemaya muprofita neraIdho muoni? Paiva nokurwisana nguva dzose pakati paRehobhoamu naJerobhoamu.
16 Awo Lekobowaamu ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi, Abiya mutabani we n’amusikira.
Rehobhoamu akazorora namadzibaba ake akavigwa muguta raDhavhidhi. Uye Abhija mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
