Abacamanza 11:1-40
11 Yefuta+ w’i Gileyadi yari umusirikare w’intwari. Yari yarabyawe n’indaya kandi papa we yitwaga Gileyadi.
2 Ariko umugore wa Gileyadi na we yamubyariye abahungu. Nuko abo bahungu bamaze gukura birukana Yefuta, baramubwira bati: “Nta mugabane uzahabwa mu rugo rwa papa, kuko wabyawe n’undi mugore.”
3 Yefuta ahunga abavandimwe be ajya gutura mu gihugu cy’i Tobu. Abagabo batagiraga icyo bakora basanga Yefuta, ababera umuyobozi.
4 Hashize igihe gito Abamoni batera Abisirayeli.+
5 Abamoni bamaze gutera Abisirayeli, abakuru b’i Gileyadi bahise bajya gushaka Yefuta mu gihugu cy’i Tobu ngo agaruke.
6 Babwira Yefuta bati: “Ngwino utubere umugaba w’ingabo, turwane n’Abamoni.”
7 Ariko Yefuta asubiza abakuru b’i Gileyadi ati: “Si mwe mwanyanze mukanyirukana mu rugo rwa papa?+ Kuki muje kundeba ari uko muhuye n’ibibazo?”
8 Abakuru b’i Gileyadi basubiza Yefuta bati: “Ni yo mpamvu nyine tuje kukureba. Nuza tukajyana kurwanya Abamoni, uzatubera umuyobozi twese abatuye i Gileyadi.”+
9 Yefuta abwira abakuru b’i Gileyadi ati: “Mumenye ko nimungarura kugira ngo ndwane n’Abamoni, Yehova akamfasha nkabatsinda, rwose nzababera umuyobozi!”
10 Abakuru b’i Gileyadi basubiza Yefuta bati: “Twemereye imbere ya Yehova ko tuzakora ibyo utubwiye.”
11 Nuko Yefuta ajyana n’abakuru b’i Gileyadi maze abaturage bamugira umuyobozi wabo n’umugaba w’ingabo. Yefuta asubiramo ya magambo yose imbere ya Yehova i Misipa.+
12 Yefuta yohereza intumwa ku mwami w’Abamoni,+ aramubaza ati: “Ni iki nagukoreye cyatuma utera igihugu cyanjye?”
13 Nuko umwami w’Abamoni asubiza intumwa za Yefuta ati: “Byatewe n’uko igihe Abisirayeli bavaga muri Egiputa+ batwaye igihugu cyanjye, kuva kuri Arunoni+ kugeza i Yaboki no kuri Yorodani.+ None kinsubize mu mahoro.”
14 Ariko Yefuta yongera kohereza intumwa ku mwami w’Abamoni,
15 ngo zimubwire ziti:
“Yefuta aravuze ati: ‘Abisirayeli ntibatwaye igihugu cy’Abamowabu+ cyangwa icy’Abamoni,+
16 kuko igihe bavaga muri Egiputa banyuze mu butayu bagera ku Nyanja Itukura,+ nyuma baza kugera i Kadeshi.+
17 Abisirayeli bohereje intumwa ku mwami wa Edomu+ baramubwira bati: “Turakwinginze, reka tunyure mu gihugu cyawe,” ariko umwami wa Edomu ntiyabemerera. Bohereje n’intumwa ku mwami wa Mowabu+ na we arabyanga. Nuko Abisirayeli baguma i Kadeshi.+
18 Igihe banyuraga mu butayu, bazengurutse igihugu cya Edomu+ n’icya Mowabu. Banyuze mu burasirazuba bw’igihugu cya Mowabu+ bashinga amahema mu karere ka Arunoni. Ntibigeze barenga umupaka wa Mowabu+ kuko Arunoni yari ku mupaka wa Mowabu.
19 “‘Nyuma yaho Abisirayeli bohereje intumwa kuri Sihoni umwami w’Abamori, wategekeraga i Heshiboni, baramubwira bati: “turakwinginze reka tunyure mu gihugu cyawe tujye mu gihugu cyacu.”+
20 Ariko Sihoni ntiyizera ko Abisirayeli bari kunyura mu gihugu cye gusa, ateranya ingabo ze zose, ashinga amahema i Yahasi kugira ngo atere Abisirayeli.+
21 Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli abibonye atuma Abisirayeli batsinda Sihoni n’ingabo ze zose maze bafata igihugu cyose Abamori bari batuyemo.+
22 Nuko bafata akarere kose k’Abamori, kuva kuri Arunoni ukageza i Yaboki, no kuva mu butayu ukageza kuri Yorodani.+
23 “‘Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli ni we wirukanye Abamori bari batuye muri iki gihugu kugira ngo agihe ubwoko bwe bw’Abisirayeli,+ none wowe urashaka kukibirukanamo?
24 Ese ikintu cyose imana yawe Kemoshi+ iguhaye ntikiba ari icyawe? Natwe umuntu wese Yehova Imana yacu yirukanye mu gihugu cye ngo akiduhe tuzamwirukana.+
25 None se utekereza ko hari icyo urusha Balaki+ umuhungu wa Sipori, umwami wa Mowabu? Hari ubwo yigeze yiyenza ku Bisirayeli cyangwa ngo abarwanye?
26 Ko hashize imyaka 300 Abisirayeli batuye i Heshiboni no mu midugudu yaho,+ muri Aroweri no mu midugudu yaho, no mu mijyi yose iri ku nkengero za Arunoni, kuki icyo gihe cyose+ mutahishubije?
27 Njye nta cyaha nigeze ngukorera, ahubwo ni wowe ungirira nabi ukantera. Uyu munsi, Yehova we Mucamanza+ ace urubanza hagati y’Abisirayeli n’Abamoni.’”
28 Ariko umwami w’Abamoni ntiyemera ibyo Yefuta amubwiye.
29 Umwuka wa Yehova uza kuri Yefuta,+ anyura i Gileyadi no mu karere k’abakomoka kuri Manase, agera i Misipe y’i Gileyadi,+ avuyeyo ajya gutera Abamoni.
30 Yefuta asezeranya+ Yehova ati: “Numfasha ngatsinda Abamoni,
31 umuntu uzasohoka mu nzu yanjye aje kunyakira ubwo nzaba ngarutse amahoro mvuye kurwana n’Abamoni, azaba uwa Yehova+ kandi nzamutanga abe nk’igitambo gitwikwa n’umuriro.”*+
32 Yefuta ajya kurwana n’Abamoni, Yehova aramufasha maze arabatsinda.
33 Yica abantu benshi uhereye kuri Aroweri ukageza i Miniti, afata imijyi 20, arakomeza agera muri Abeli-keramimu. Uko ni ko Abisirayeli bategetse Abamoni.
34 Hanyuma Yefuta agaruka iwe i Misipa.+ Nuko umukobwa we aza kumwakira avuza ishako* kandi abyina! Ni we wenyine yari yarabyaye. Nta muhungu cyangwa umukobwa yagiraga.
35 Akimubona aca imyenda yari yambaye, aravuga ati: “Ayi wee mukobwa wanjye! Unteye agahinda kuko namaze kugutanga. Hari ikintu nasezeranyije Yehova kandi sinshobora kugihindura.”+
36 Ariko umukobwa we aramubwira ati: “Papa, niba hari icyo wasezeranyije Yehova unkorere ibyo wamusezeranyije,+ kuko Yehova yatumye wihorera ku banzi bawe b’Abamoni.”
37 Arongera abwira papa we ati: “Reka ngire icyo ngusaba: Ube undetse amezi abiri, njye mu misozi kuririra ubusugi bwanjye ndi kumwe n’abakobwa b’incuti zanjye.”*
38 Aramusubiza ati: “Ngaho genda!” Aramwohereza, amara amezi abiri mu misozi ari kumwe n’abakobwa b’incuti ze, aririra ubusugi bwe.
39 Amezi abiri ashize agaruka kwa papa we, hanyuma papa we amukorera ibyo yasezeranyije Imana.+ Uwo mukobwa ntiyigeze aryamana n’umugabo. Nuko muri Isirayeli,
40 buri mwaka abakobwa b’Abisirayeli bakajya gushimira umukobwa wa Yefuta w’i Gileyadi, iminsi ine mu mwaka.
