Umugore wiwe yitwa Mayaka. 36 Umuhungu wiwe w’imfura yari Abudoni, hakaba na Zuri na Kishi na Bayali na Neri na Nadabu, 37 na Gedori na Ahiyo na Zekariya+ na Mikiloti. 38 Mikiloti na we avyara Shimeyamu. Mu vy’ukuri abo ni bo baba imbere ya bene wabo i Yeruzalemu, hamwe na bene wabo. 39 Neri+ na we avyara Kishi+; Kishi na we avyara Sauli+; Sauli na we avyara Yonatani+ na Maliki-shuwa+ na Abinadabu+ na Eshubayali+. 40 Mwene Yonatani yari Meribu-bayali+.

Abo ni bo bari bene Azeli+.

10 Nuko Abafilisitiya+ barwana na Isirayeli; maze abagabo ba Isirayeli barahunga bava imbere y’Abafilisitiya, baguma bagwa bagandaguwe ku musozi Gilibowa+. 2 Abafilisitiya baguma basatira Sauli n’abahungu biwe; Abafilisitiya bica Yonatani+ na Abinadabu+ na Maliki-shuwa+, abahungu ba Sauli+. 3 Urugamba rwo kurwanya Sauli ruba urukomeye; abarasisha umuheto amaherezo baramubona, maze akomeretswa n’abo barashi+. 4 Nuko Sauli abwira uwumutwaza ibirwanisho+ ati: “Sokora inkota yawe+ uyinsogote, kugira ngo abo bagabo batagenyerewe+ ntibaze, ngo bangirire koko ivy’agashinyaguro+.” Mugabo uwumutwaza ibirwanisho aranka+, kuko yatinye cane. Nuko Sauli afata inkota, ayīsukako+. 5 Uwumutwaza ibirwanisho abonye ko Sauli apfuye, na we nyene aca yīsuka ku nkota yiwe, arapfa+. 6 Gutyo Sauli n’abahungu biwe batatu barapfa+, n’abo mu nzu yiwe bose bapfira hamwe. 7 Abagabo ba Isirayeli bose bari mu kiyaya co hasi babonye ko bahunze be n’uko Sauli n’abahungu biwe bapfuye, batangura rero guta ibisagara vyabo, barahunga+; hanyuma Abafilisitiya barashika maze babibamwo.

8 Ku musi ukurikira, Abafilisitiya baje kwambura+ abagandaguwe, bubuka kuri Sauli n’abahungu biwe baguye ku musozi Gilibowa+. 9 Nuko baramwambura baraheza bamukurako umutwe+ n’ibirwanisho vyiwe maze batuma intumwa mu gihugu c’Abafilisitiya hirya no hino kumenyesha+ ayo makuru ibigirwamana vyabo+ be n’abantu. 10 Amaherezo bashira ibirwanisho vyiwe mu nzu y’imana yabo+, agahanga kiwe na ko bakamanika ku nzu ya Dagoni+.

11 Ab’i Yabeshi+ muri Gileyadi bose bumva ivyo Abafilisitiya bari bagiriye Sauli vyose+. 12 Nuko abagabo b’intwari bose barahaguruka, batwara ikiziga ca Sauli n’ibiziga vy’abahungu biwe, babijana i Yabeshi, maze bahamba amagufa yabo munsi y’igiti kinini+ i Yabeshi+; hanyuma bamara imisi indwi bisonzesheje+.

13 Ukwo ni ko Sauli yapfuye bivuye ku buhemu bwiwe yari yarahemukiye+ Yehova, kubera ijambo rya Yehova atari yaragumije no kubera ko yituye uwuvugana n’ibiremwa vy’impwemu+ kugira ngo abaze. 14 Ntiyasiguza Yehova+. Ku bw’ivyo aramwica maze ingoma ayiha Dawidi mwene Yese+.

11 Mu nyuma Abisirayeli+ bose bakoranira kuri Dawidi i Heburoni+, bavuga bati: “Ehe turi igufa ryawe n’umubiri wawe+. 2 Ejo be n’imbere yaho, mbere n’igihe Sauli yari umwami, ni wewe wasohokana Isirayeli ku rugamba ukongera ukayigarukana+; maze Yehova Imana yawe akubwira ati: ‘Ni wewe uzoragira+ igisata canje Isirayeli, kandi ni wewe uzoba indongozi+ y’igisata canje Isirayeli.’” 3 Abagabo b’inararibonye ba Isirayeli bose baza rero ku mwami i Heburoni, maze Dawidi agirana isezerano na bo i Heburoni imbere ya Yehova; hanyuma barobanuza amavuta*+ Dawidi ngo abe umwami wo kuganza Isirayeli, nk’uko ijambo rya Yehova+ ryari, iryo yavuze biciye kuri Samweli+.

4 Mu nyuma Dawidi na Isirayeli yose baja i Yeruzalemu+, ari yo Yebusi+, ahantu Abayebusi+ baba muri ico gihugu. 5 Nuko ababa i Yebusi batangura kubwira Dawidi bati: “Ntuzokwinjira ng’aha+.” Ariko Dawidi atangura gufata igihome gikomeye ca Siyoni+, ni ukuvuga Igisagara ca Dawidi+. 6 Dawidi avuga rero ati: “Uwuzotangura gukubita+ Abayebusi wese, azoba umukuru n’umuganwa.” Nuko Yowabu+ mwene Zeruwiya aba ari we atangura kuduga, maze aba umukuru. 7 Nuko Dawidi aba mu kibanza kigoye gushikamwo+. Ni co gituma bacise Igisagara ca Dawidi+. 8 Hanyuma yubaka ico gisagara irya n’ino, guhera ku Kidunduri gushika mbere no ku karere kari irya n’ino yaco, mugabo Yowabu aba ari we asanura+ igice gisigaye c’ico gisagara. 9 Nuko Dawidi aguma arushiriza kuba uwukomeye+, kuko Yehova nyen’ingabo* yari kumwe na we+.

10 Aba rero ni bo bakuru ba ba bagabo b’abanyenkomezi+ bari aba Dawidi, bamushigikiye rwose mu ngoma yiwe bari kumwe na Isirayeli yose, kugira ngo bamugire umwami nk’uko ijambo rya Yehova+ ryari ku vyerekeye Isirayeli. 11 Uru ni rwo rutonde rwa nya bagabo b’abanyenkomezi bari aba Dawidi: Yashobeyamu+ umuhungu w’Umuhakimoni, umukuru wa bamwe batatu. Yari abanguriye icumu ku bantu amajana atatu biciwe icarimwe+. 12 Inyuma yiwe hari Eleyazari+ mwene Dodo Umwahohi+. Yari muri ba bagabo b’abanyenkomezi batatu+. 13 Ni we yari kumwe na Dawidi i Pasi-damimu+, aho Abafilisitiya bari bakoraniye ku bw’intambara. Kandi hariho igice c’itongo cari cuzuye sayiri*, abantu bakaba bari barahunze kubera Abafilisitiya+. 14 Mugabo we ahagarara hagati muri nya gice c’itongo, arakirokora maze aguma asasika Abafilisitiya, ku buryo Yehova akirisha+ ubukiriro bukomeye+.

15 Maze batatu muri ba bakuru mirongo itatu+ bamanuka kuri ca gitandara, aho Dawidi yari, kw’isenga ry’i Adulamu+, mu gihe ikambi y’Abafilisitiya yari ikambitse mu kiyaya co hasi ca Refayimu+. 16 Ico gihe Dawidi yari mu kibanza kigoye gushikamwo+; kandi ico gihe ikirindiro c’Abafilisitiya+ cari i Betelehemu. 17 Haciye igihe, Dawidi aserura icipfuzo gikomeye afise, avuga ati: “Icompa nkanywa+ ku mazi yo mw’itangi ry’i Betelehemu+ riri kw’irembo!” 18 Bamwe batatu baca binjira ku nguvu mw’ikambi y’Abafilisitiya, bavoma amazi muri iryo tangi ry’i Betelehemu riri kw’irembo, maze barayatwara, bayazanira Dawidi+. Dawidi ntiyemera kuyanywa, mugabo ayasuka imbere ya Yehova+. 19 Hanyuma avuga ati: “Ni ibitokwiyumvirwa kuri jewe, ku bijanye n’Imana yanje, gukora ico kintu! Mbega nonywa amaraso+ y’aba bagabo bemeye gushira ubuzima bwabo mu kaga? Kuko bayazanye barinze gushira ubuzima bwabo mu kaga.” Nuko ntiyemera kuyanywa+. Ivyo ni vyo ba bagabo b’abanyenkomezi batatu bakoze.

20 Nayo Abishayi+ mwene wabo na Yowabu+, aba umukuru wa bamwe batatu; yari abanguriye icumu ryiwe ku bantu amajana atatu bishwe, kandi yari rurangiranwa nka bamwe batatu. 21 Muri bamwe batatu, yaravugangwa kurusha babiri bandi; nuko aba umukuru wabo; yamara ntiyashikira+ bamwe batatu ba mbere.

22 Nayo Benaya+ mwene Yehoyada+, umuhungu w’umugabo w’intwari, uwakoze ibikorwa vyinshi i Kabuzeyeli+, agarika ba bahungu babiri ba Ariyeli w’i Mowabu; ni we yamanutse kugarika intambwe+ mu cobo c’amazi ku musi urubura rwariko ruragwa. 23 Kandi ni we yagaritse umugabo w’Umunyamisiri, umugabo w’igihagararo c’akataraboneka, yareha n’amatambwe*+ atanu. Kandi mu kuboko kw’uwo Munyamisiri hari icumu+ rimeze nk’igiti kizingirwako inyuzi c’abajishi b’impuzu; yamara yaramanutse aho ari yitwaje inkoni maze ashikura nya cumu mu kuboko kw’uwo Munyamisiri, araheza amwicisha iryo cumu ryiwe bwite+. 24 Ivyo ni vyo Benaya mwene Yehoyada yakoze; yari afise izina muri ba bagabo b’abanyenkomezi batatu. 25 Naho yari rurangiranwa kurusha bamwe mirongo itatu, ntiyashitse ku rwego rwa bamwe batatu ba mbere+. Ariko Dawidi amuha kugaba abamucungerera ubuzima+.

26 Ku bijanye n’abagabo b’abanyenkomezi bo mu nteko za gisirikare, hari Asaheli+ mwene wabo na Yowabu, Elihanani+ mwene Dodo w’i Betelehemu, 27 Shamoti+ Umuharori, Helezi Umupeloni+, 28 Ira+ mwene Ikeshi Umunyatekowa, Abi-ezeri Umunyanatoti+, 29 Sibekayi+ Umuhusha, Ilayi Umwahohi+, 30 Maharayi+ Umunyanetofa+, Heledi+ mwene Bayana Umunyanetofa, 31 Itayi mwene Ribayi+ w’i Gibeya+ ha bene Benyamini+, Benaya Umunyapiratoni+, 32 Hurayi wo mu myonga y’i Gayashi+, Abiyeli Umunyarabati, 33 Azimaveti Umunyabaharumi+, Eliyahuba Umunyashayaluboni, 34 bene Hashemu Umugizoni, Yonatani+ mwene Shage Umuharari, 35 Ahiyamu mwene Sakari+ Umuharari, Elifali+ mwene Uri, 36 Heferi Umumekerati, Ahiya Umupeloni, 37 Heziro Umunyakarumeli+, Nayarayi mwene Ezibayi, 38 Yoweli mwene wabo na Natani+, Mibuhari mwene Hagiri, 39 Zeleki Umwamoni, Naharayi Umunyaberoti, uwatwaza ibirwanisho Yowabu mwene Zeruwiya, 40 Ira Umwituri, Garebu+ Umwituri, 41 Uriya+ Umuheti+, Zabadi mwene Ahilayi, 42 Adina mwene Shiza Umurubeni, umukuru w’Abarubeni, iruhande yiwe hakaba hari abantu mirongo itatu; 43 Hanane mwene Mayaka, na Yoshafati Umumitini, 44 Uziya Umunyashitaroti, Shama na Yeyeli, bene Hotamu Umunyaroweri, 45 Yediyayeli mwene Shimuri, na Yoha mwene wabo Umunyatizi, 46 Eliyeli Umumahavi, Yeribayi na Yoshaviya bene Elinayamu, Itima Umunyamowabu. 47 Eliyeli na Obedi na Yayasiyeli Umumezobayi.

12 Aba ni bo baje kuri Dawidi i Zikulagi+, mu gihe yari akibuze umwidegemvyo kubera Sauli+ mwene Kishi; kandi bari muri ba bagabo b’abanyenkomezi+ bafasha Dawidi mu ntambara, 2 bitwaza imiheto, bagakoresha ukuryo n’ukubamfu+ mu gutera amabuye+ bakoresheje umugozi canke mu kurasa imyampi+ bakoresheje umuheto+. Bari abo muri bene wabo na Sauli, bo muri Benyamini. 3 Hari umukuru Ahiyezeri be na Yowasi, bene Shemaya Umunyagibeya+, hakaba na Yeziyeli na Pelete bene Azimaveti+, na Beraka na Yehu Umunyanatoti+, 4 na Ishimaya Umunyagibeyoni+, umugabo w’umunyenkomezi muri bamwe mirongo itatu+, akaba kandi yagaba bamwe mirongo itatu; na Yeremiya na Yahaziyeli na Yohanani na Yozabadi Umunyagedera+, 5 na Eluzayi na Yerimoti na Beyaliya na Shemariya na Shefatiya Umuharifu, 6 na Elikana na Ishiya na Azareli na Yowezeri na Yashobeyamu, Aba-Kora+, 7 na Yowela na Zebadiya bene Yerohamu w’i Gedori.

8 Mu Bagadi, hari abitandukanije maze baja ku ruhande rwa Dawidi muri ca kibanza kigoye gushikamwo mu gahinga+, bakaba bari abagabo b’intwari kandi b’abanyenkomezi, abagabo bo mu ngabo z’intambara, baguma bateguye inkinzo zagutse be n’amacumu+, abari bafise mu maso nk’ah’intambwe+, kandi mu bunyarutsi bakaba bari bameze nk’ingeregere ku misozi+. 9 Ezeri yari umukuru, Obadiya uwugira kabiri, Eliyabu uwugira gatatu, 10 Mishimana uwugira kane, Yeremiya uwugira gatanu, 11 Atayi uwugira gatandatu, Eliyeli uwugira indwi, 12 Yohanani uwugira umunani, Elizabadi uwugira icenda, 13 Yeremiya uwugira cumi, Makibanayi uwugira cumi na rimwe. 14 Abo bari abo muri bene Gadi+, abakuru b’ingabo. Uwo hanyuma y’abandi yangana n’ijana, uwuhambaye kuruta abandi na we akangana n’igihumbi+. 15 Abo ni bo bajabutse Yorodani+ mu kwezi kwa mbere igihe rwari rwarenze inkombe+ zarwo zose, maze birukana abo mu biyaya vyo hasi bose, mu buseruko no mu burengero.

19 Kandi mu ba Manase, hari abataye bakomokera kuri Dawidi igihe yazanana n’Abafilisitiya+ gutera Sauli ngo barwane; mugabo ntiyabafashije, kuko aho abatware b’urunani+ b’Abafilisitiya bamariye kuja inama, bamwirukanye, mu kuvuga bati: “Azoduta yomokere ku mukama wiwe Sauli, maze tuhasige agatwe+.” 20 Aje i Zikulagi+, abo mu ba Manase, ari bo Aduna na Yozabadi na Yediyayeli na Mikaheli na Yozabadi na Elihu na Ziletayi, abakuru+ b’ibihumbi bari aba Manase, barata bomokera kuri we. 21 Ni bo bafashije Dawidi kurwanya ka kagwi k’abambuzi+, kuko bose bari abagabo b’abanyenkomezi+ kandi b’intwari, maze baba abakuru mu ngabo; 22 kuko ku musi ku musi abantu baguma baza+ kuri Dawidi kumufasha, gushika ibaye ikambi nini+, nk’ikambi y’Imana+.

23 Ibi ni vyo bitigiri vy’abakuru b’abari bafise ibikwiye ku bw’ingabo baje kuri Dawidi i Heburoni+ kumuha ingoma+ ya Sauli nk’uko itegeko rya Yehova ryari+. 24 Bene Yuda batwara inkinzo zagutse n’amacumu bari ibihumbi bitandatu n’amajana umunani, bafise ibikwiye ku bw’ingabo. 25 Muri bene Simeyoni, abagabo b’abanyenkomezi kandi b’intwari bo mu ngabo bari ibihumbi indwi n’ijana.

26 Mu bahungu b’Abalewi: ibihumbi bine n’amajana atandatu. 27 Yehoyada yari indongozi+ ya bene Aroni+, akaba yari kumwe n’abantu ibihumbi bitatu n’amajana indwi. 28 Na Zadoki+, umusore w’umunyenkomezi kandi w’intwari, n’inzu ya ba sekuruza biwe, abakuru mirongo ibiri na babiri.

29 Muri bene Benyamini+, bene wabo na Sauli+, hari ibihumbi bitatu, kandi gushika ico gihe benshi muri bo baracungera rwose inzu ya Sauli. 30 Muri bene Efurayimu na ho, hari ibihumbi mirongo ibiri n’amajana umunani, abagabo b’abanyenkomezi+ kandi b’intwari, abagabo ba rurangiranwa, hakurikijwe inzu ya ba sekuruza babo.

31 Mu gice c’umuryango wa Manase+ na ho, hari ibihumbi cumi n’umunani bari bavuzwe amazina ngo baze kwimika Dawidi abe umwami. 32 Muri bene Isakari+ bari bazi kugendereza ibihe+ kugira bamenye ico Isirayeli yabwirizwa gukora+, hari abakuru babo amajana abiri, bene wabo bose bakaba bategekwa na bo. 33 Muri Zebuloni+, abaja mu ngabo, batonda urugamba bafise ibirwanisho vyose vy’intambara, hari ibihumbi mirongo itanu, kandi mu vy’ugusegenyukira kuri Dawidi, ntibagira imitima ibiri. 34 Muri Nafutali+ na ho, hari abakuru igihumbi, kandi bari kumwe n’abagabo ibihumbi mirongo itatu n’indwi bafise inkinzo zagutse n’amacumu. 35 Mu Badani na ho, abatonda urugamba bari ibihumbi mirongo ibiri n’umunani n’amajana atandatu. 36 Muri Asheri+ na ho, abaja mu ngabo kugira ngo batonde urugamba bari ibihumbi mirongo ine.

37 Mu bavuye hakurya ya Yorodani+ bo mu Barubeni no mu Bagadi no mu gice c’umuryango wa Manase bafise ibirwanisho vyose vy’ingabo za gisirikare, hari ibihumbi ijana na mirongo ibiri. 38 Abo bose bari abarwanyi, basegenyuka baja gutonda urugamba; baza i Heburoni bafise umutima ukwiye+ kugira ngo bimike Dawidi abe umwami wa Isirayeli yose; kandi n’abasigaye bose bo muri Isirayeli bari bahuje umutima kugira ngo bimike Dawidi abe umwami+. 39 Nuko bagumana ng’aho na Dawidi imisi itatu, barya bongera banywa+, kuko bene wabo bari babiteguriye. 40 Abari hafi yabo, gushika kuri Isakari+ na Zebuloni+ na Nafutali+, na bo nyene baza barazana ibifungurwa ku ndogobwa+ no ku ngamiya no ku nyumpu no ku nka: ibiribwa vyo mw’ifu+, udutsima tw’insukoni zafyonzwe+ zikegerana n’udutsima tw’inzabibu zumye+ n’umuvinyu+ n’amavuta+ n’inka+ n’intama+ vyinshi, kuko hari umunezero+ muri Isirayeli.

13 Nuko Dawidi aja inama n’abakuru b’ibihumbi n’abakuru b’amajana be n’indongozi+ zose; 2 hanyuma Dawidi abwira ishengero rya Isirayeli ryose ati: “Nimba bibabereye vyiza kandi bikaba vyemerwa kuri Yehova Imana yacu, dutume intumwa kuri bene wacu basigaye mu turere twose twa Isirayeli+ no ku baherezi+ be n’Abalewi+ bari mu bisagara vyabo+ bifise amatongo y’uburagiriro, kugira ngo bakoranire aho turi. 3 Maze tuzane hafi yacu isandugu+ y’Imana yacu.” Kuko batari barayitayeho mu misi ya Sauli+. 4 Nuko ishengero ryose rivuga ko bigirwa gutyo, kuko ico kintu caboneka ko kibereye mu maso y’abantu bose+. 5 Dawidi akoranya+ rero Isirayeli yose, kuva ku ruzi rwa Misiri+ gushika ku bwinjiriro bwa Hamati+, kugira ngo bazane isandugu+ y’Imana y’ukuri bayikuye i Kiriyati-yeyarimu+.

6 Maze Dawidi na Isirayeli yose baduga i Bayala+, i Kiriyati-yeyarimu, ahegukira Yuda, kugira ngo bakureyo isandugu y’Imana y’ukuri, Yehova, uwicara ku bakerubi*+, iyitirirwa izina ryiwe. 7 Ariko buriza isandugu y’Imana y’ukuri ku mukogote mushasha+ bayikuye mu nzu ya Abinadabu, Uza na Ahiyo+ bakaba ari bo bari bayoboye uwo mukogote. 8 Dawidi na Isirayeli yose bariko bahimbaza+ ico kintu imbere y’Imana y’ukuri n’inkomezi zose, n’indirimbo+, n’inanga+, n’ibicurarangisho vy’imirya+, n’utugoma+, n’ivyuma bisāma be n’inzumbete+. 9 Amaherezo bashika ku mbuga y’ikubitiro ya Kidoni+, maze Uza atuma ukuboko kugira ngo afate nya Sandugu+, kuko amashūri yari ahatswe kuyitembagaza. 10 Ishavu rya Yehova rica rirurumbira Uza ku buryo amugarika, kuko yari atumye ukuboko kuri nya Sandugu+, apfira ng’aho nyene imbere y’Imana+. 11 Maze Dawidi ashavuzwa+ n’uko Yehova yari arandamuye* Uza; aho hantu rero bahita Perezi-uza gushika n’uyu musi.

12 Nuko uwo musi Dawidi atinya Imana y’ukuri+, avuga ati: “Nzozana gute iwanje isandugu y’Imana y’ukuri+?” 13 Dawidi ntiyimurira nya Sandugu iwe, mu Gisagara ca Dawidi, mugabo ayikebereza mu nzu ya Obedi-edomu+ Umugiti+. 14 Nya sandugu y’Imana y’ukuri ibandanya kubana n’urugo rwa Obedi-edomu, mu nzu yiwe+, amezi atatu; kandi Yehova yaguma ahezagira+ urugo rwa Obedi-edomu n’ivyiwe vyose.

14 Nuko Hiramu+ umwami wa Tiro+ arungika intumwa kuri Dawidi, n’ibiti vy’amasederi+ n’abubatsi b’impome n’abakora mu vy’ibiti, kugira ngo bamwubakire inzu+. 2 Dawidi amenya rero ko Yehova yari yamushimangiye+ bwa mwami wa Isirayeli, kuko ingoma yiwe yari yashizwe hejuru rwose kubera igisata ciwe Isirayeli+.

3 Nuko Dawidi yabira abandi bagore+ i Yeruzalemu, maze Dawidi avyara abandi bahungu n’abakobwa+. 4 Aya ni yo mazina y’abana yaronkeye i Yeruzalemu: Shamuwa+ na Shobabu+, Natani+ na Salomo+, 5 na Ibuhari+ na Elishuwa na Elipeleti+, 6 na Noga na Nefegi+ na Yafiya, 7 na Elishama+ na Beyeliyada na Elifeleti+.

8 Nuko Abafilisitiya bumva yuko Dawidi yari yarobanujwe amavuta ngo abe umwami wa Isirayeli yose+. Abafilisitiya bose baca baduga kurondera Dawidi+. Dawidi avyumvise, aca asohoka kubarwanya. 9 Abafilisitiya na bo barashika maze baguma bagaba ibitero mu kiyaya co hasi ca Refayimu+. 10 Dawidi asiguza Imana+, ati: “Nduge kurwanya Abafilisitiya, nawe urabatanga ata gukeka mu kuboko kwanje?” Yehova aca amubwira ati: “Duga, nanje ndabatanga ata gukeka mu kuboko kwawe.” 11 Dawidi aduga rero i Bayali-perazimu+, maze abasasikira ng’aho. Nuko Dawidi avuga ati: “Imana y’ukuri yaciye igihengeri mu bansi banje biciye ku kuboko kwanje, nk’igihengeri giciwe n’amazi.” Ni co catumye aho hantu+ bahita Bayali-perazimu. 12 Nuko bata ng’aho imana zabo+. Hanyuma Dawidi atanga itegeko, maze zituririrwa mu muriro+.

13 Mu nyuma Abafilisitiya bongera kugaba igitero mu kiyaya co hasi+. 14 Dawidi aca yongera gusiguza+ Imana, maze Imana y’ukuri imubwira iti: “Ntuduge inyuma yabo. Bazunguruke, uheze ushike kuri bo imbere y’ibisaka vy’imibaka+. 15 Niwumva urwamo rw’imirindi hejuru ya nya bisaka vy’imibaka+, uce usohoka uje mu rugamba+, kuko Imana y’ukuri izoba yakugiye imbere+ kugira ngo isasike ikambi y’Abafilisitiya.” 16 Dawidi agira rero nk’uko Imana y’ukuri yari yamutegetse+, basasika ikambi y’Abafilisitiya kuva i Gibeyoni+ gushika i Gezeri+. 17 Nuko ukuba rurangiranwa kwa Dawidi+ gutangura gukwiragira mu bihugu vyose, kandi Yehova ubwiwe atuma amahanga yose amutinya+.

15 Abandanya kwiyubakira amazu+ mu Gisagara ca Dawidi; kandi ategurira ikibanza+ isandugu y’Imana y’ukuri yongera ayishingira ihema. 2 Ico gihe ni ho Dawidi yavuga ati: “Nta n’umwe ategerezwa kurerura isandugu y’Imana y’ukuri kiretse Abalewi, kuko ari bo Yehova yatoye ngo barerure isandugu ya Yehova+ no kugira ngo bamukorere+ gushika igihe kitagira urugero*.” 3 Maze Dawidi akoraniriza Isirayeli yose i Yeruzalemu+ kugira ngo badugane isandugu+ ya Yehova mu kibanza cayo yari yarayiteguriye.

4 Dawidi akoranya rero bene Aroni+ n’Abalewi; 5 muri bene Kohati: Uriyeli+ umukuru na bene wabo, ijana na mirongo ibiri; 6 muri bene Merari+: Asaya+ umukuru na bene wabo, amajana abiri na mirongo ibiri; 7 muri bene Gerishomu+: Yoweli+ umukuru na bene wabo, ijana na mirongo itatu; 8 muri bene Elizafani+: Shemaya+ umukuru na bene wabo, amajana abiri; 9 muri bene Heburoni: Eliyeli umukuru na bene wabo, mirongo umunani; 10 muri bene Uziyeli+: Aminadabu umukuru na bene wabo, ijana na cumi na babiri. 11 Vyongeye, Dawidi ahamagara Zadoki+ na Abiyatari+ abaherezi, n’Abalewi Uriyeli+ na Asaya+ na Yoweli+ na Shemaya+ na Eliyeli+ na Aminadabu, 12 hanyuma ababwira ati: “Muri abakuru+ ba ba se b’Abalewi. Nimwiyeze+, mwebwe na bene wanyu, muheze mudugane isandugu ya Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli mu kibanza nayiteguriye. 13 Kubera ko mutabigize ubwa mbere+, Yehova Imana yacu yaraduciyemwo igihengeri+, kuko tutamurondeye nk’uko bisanzwe biri+.” 14 Nuko abaherezi n’Abalewi bariyeza+ kugira ngo badugane isandugu ya Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli.

15 Maze abahungu b’Abalewi batangura kurerura+ isandugu y’Imana y’ukuri, nk’uko Musa yari yarategetse bivuye kw’ijambo rya Yehova, bayirerura ku bitugu, bashize iminiho yayo kuri bo+. 16 Nuko Dawidi abwira abakuru b’Abalewi ngo bashireho bene wabo b’abaririmvyi+, bafise ibicurarangisho vy’ururirimbo+, ibicurarangisho vy’imirya+ n’inanga+ n’ivyuma bisāma+, kugira bacurarange n’ijwi ryumvikana ngo batume humvikana ijwi riteye umunezero.

17 Nuko Abalewi bashiraho Hemani+ mwene Yoweli, muri bene wabo na ho bashiraho Asafu+ mwene Berekiya; muri bene Merari bene wabo na ho bashiraho Etani+ mwene Kushaya; 18 bari kumwe na bene wabo bo mu muce ugira kabiri+, ari bo Zekariya+, Beni na Yayaziyeli na Shemiramoti na Yehiyele na Uni, Eliyabu na Benaya na Mayaseya na Matitiya na Elifelehu na Mikineya, na Obedi-edomu+ na Yeyeli abarinzi b’amarembo, 19 n’abaririmvyi Hemani+, Asafu+ na Etani, bafise ivyuma bisāma vy’umujumpu kugira ngo bavuze n’ijwi ryumvikana+; 20 na Zekariya na Aziyeli+ na Shemiramoti na Yehiyele na Uni na Eliyabu na Mayaseya na Benaya, bafise ibicurarangisho vy’imirya biregereye kuri Alamoti+; 21 na Matitiya+ na Elifelehu na Mikineya na Obedi-edomu na Yeyeli na Azaziya, bafise inanga+ ziregereye kuri Sheminiti+, kugira ngo bakore ari abayobozi; 22 na Kenaniya+ umukuru w’Abalewi mu vy’ukurerura ibintu, akaba ari we yatanga inyigisho mu vy’ukurerura ibintu, kuko yari umuhanga+; 23 na Berekiya na Elikana abarinzi b’amarembo+ barinda Isandugu; 24 na Shebaniya na Yoshafati na Netaneli na Amasayi na Zekariya na Benaya na Eliyezeri abaherezi bavuza inzumbete+ n’ijwi ryumvikana imbere y’isandugu y’Imana y’ukuri, na Obedi-edomu na Yehiya abarinzi b’amarembo barinda Isandugu.

25 Dawidi+ n’abagabo b’inararibonye ba Isirayeli+ n’abakuru+ b’ibihumbi baba ari bo bagenda kugira badugane isandugu y’isezerano rya Yehova bayikuye mu nzu ya Obedi-edomu+ banezerewe+. 26 Nuko mu gihe Imana y’ukuri yariko ifasha+ Abalewi igihe bari bareruye isandugu y’isezerano rya Yehova, hashikanwa ibimasa indwi n’impfizi z’intama indwi+. 27 Kandi Dawidi yari yambaye umwitero utagira amaboko wo mu gitambara ciza; eka n’Abalewi bose bari bareruye Isandugu, be n’abaririmvyi, na Kenaniya+ umukuru w’igikorwa c’ukurerura cakorwa n’abaririmvyi+, na bo nyene bari bambaye gutyo; mugabo kuri Dawidi hari efodi*+ y’ilino. 28 Abisirayeli bose bariko badugana isandugu y’isezerano rya Yehova bavuza akaruru k’umunezero+ kandi havuzwa inzamba+ n’inzumbete+ n’ivyuma bisāma+, mu kuvuza n’ijwi ryumvikana ibicurarangisho vy’imirya n’inanga+.

29 Isandugu y’isezerano+ rya Yehova ishitse mu Gisagara ca Dawidi, Mikali+ umukobwa wa Sauli, araba hasi acishije mw’idirisha maze abona Umwami Dawidi yikina amatavu yongera ahimbaza+ ico kintu; nuko atangura kumusuzugurira+ mu mutima.

16 Gutyo binjiza isandugu y’Imana y’ukuri+, bayishira mw’ihema Dawidi yari yarayishingiye+; maze batangura gushikiriza imbere y’Imana y’ukuri amashikanwa aturirwa n’ibimazi vy’ugusangira+. 2 Dawidi arangije gushikana ishikanwa riturirwa+ n’ibimazi vy’ugusangira+, atangura guhezagira+ abantu mw’izina rya Yehova+. 3 Vyongeye, agabanganiriza+ ibifungurwa Abisirayeli bose, umugabo n’umugore, umwe wese amuha akamanyu k’umukate k’umuzingi n’agatsima ko mu ngazi z’itende n’agatsima k’inzabibu zumye. 4 Maze ashira imbere y’isandugu ya Yehova bamwe mu Balewi+ ngo babe abasuku+, kugira ngo bibutse+ abantu no kugira ngo bakengurukire+ bongere bashemeze+ Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli: 5 Asafu+ umukuru, uwugira kabiri kuri we akaba yari Zekariya, hanyuma Yeyeli na Shemiramoti na Yehiyele na Matitiya na Eliyabu na Benaya na Obedi-edomu na Yeyeli+, bafise ibicurarangisho vyo mu bwoko bw’ibifise imirya, n’inanga+, Asafu+ akaba yari afise ivyuma bisāma vyo kuvuza n’ijwi ryumvikana+, 6 na Benaya na Yahaziyeli abaherezi bafise inzumbete+ ubudasiba imbere y’isandugu y’isezerano ry’Imana y’ukuri.

14 Ni we Yehova Imana yacu+; mw’isi yose hari ingingo ziwe z’ubutungane+.

37 Maze asiga Asafu+ na bene wabo ng’aho imbere y’isandugu y’isezerano rya Yehova ngo bame bakorera+ imbere y’iyo Sandugu, nk’uko bibwirizwa kugirwa ku musi ku musi+; 38 asiga na Obedi-edomu na bene wabo, mirongo itandatu n’umunani, na Obedi-edomu mwene Yedutuni na Hosa ngo babe abarinzi b’irembo; 39 asiga na Zadoki+ umuherezi na bene wabo abaherezi imbere y’itaberenakulo ya Yehova ku kibanza gikirurutse* cari i Gibeyoni+, 40 kugira ngo bame bashikanira Yehova amashikanwa aturirwa ku gicaniro c’ishikanwa riturirwa, mu gitondo no ku mugoroba, no kugira ngo bitwararike ibintu vyose vyanditswe mw’itegeko rya Yehova, iryo yategetse Isirayeli+; 41 kandi hamwe na bo ashiraho Hemani+ na Yedutuni n’abasigaye bo mu bagabo batowe, bavuzwe+ amazina, kugira ngo bakengurukire Yehova+, kuko “ubuntu bwuzuye urukundo bwiwe ari ubwo gushika igihe kitagira urugero+”; 42 Hemani+ na Yedutuni+, abashira hamwe na bo kugira ngo bavuze inzumbete+ n’ivyuma bisāma n’ibicurarangisho vy’ururirimbo rw’Imana y’ukuri; bene+ Yedutuni na bo bashirwa kw’irembo. 43 Maze abantu bose baragenda, umwe wese ku nzu yiwe+. Nuko Dawidi aja guhezagira inzu yiwe.

17 Nuko Dawidi agitangura kuba mu nzu yiwe+, abwira Natani+ umuhanuzi ati: “Ehe jewe mba mu nzu y’amasederi+, mugabo isandugu+ y’isezerano rya Yehova yoyo iri munsi y’ibitambara vy’ihema+.” 2 Natani aca abwira Dawidi ati: “Ikintu cose kiri mu mutima wawe nugikore+, kuko Imana y’ukuri iri kumwe nawe+.”

3 Maze iryo joro ijambo+ ry’Imana riza kuri Natani riti: 4 “Genda ubwire Dawidi umusavyi wanje uti: ‘Ibi ni vyo Yehova avuze: “Si wewe uzonyubakira inzu yo kubamwo+. 5 Kuko ntabaye mu nzu kuva umusi nadugana Isirayeli gushika uyu musi+, mugabo naguma mva mw’ihema nja mu rindi, mva mw’itaberenakulo+ nja mu yindi+. 6 Mu gihe cose nagendagenze+ muri Isirayeli yose, hari ijambo na rimwe nabwiye umwe mu bacamanza ba Isirayeli nategetse kuragira igisata canje, nti: ‘Kubera iki mutanyubakiye inzu y’amasederi+?’”’

7 “Ubu rero, ubwire umusavyi wanje Dawidi uti: ‘Ibi ni vyo Yehova nyen’ingabo avuze: “Ni jewe nagukuye mw’itongo ry’uburagiriro, inyuma y’umukuku+, kugira ngo ube indongozi+ y’igisata canje Isirayeli. 8 Nzobana nawe aho uzoja hose+, kandi nzorandura abansi bawe+ bose imbere yawe; kandi ata gukeka nzoguha kugira izina+, nk’izina ry’abahambaye bari kw’isi+. 9 Nzogenera ikibanza abantu banje ari bo Isirayeli, ndabateragire+, na bo bazokwibera koko aho bari, kandi ntibazokwongera kubuzwa amahoro; abana b’ukutagororoka+ ntibazokwongera kubaruhisha, nk’uko babigize mu ntango+, 10 egome, guhera mu misi nashiraho abacamanza+ ngo bategeke abantu banje Isirayeli. Kandi ata gukeka nzocisha bugufi abansi+ bawe bose. Vyongeye, nkumenyesheje nti: ‘Yehova kandi azokwubakira inzu+.’

11 “‘“Imisi yawe niyakwira kugira ngo wigire uhamvye ba sogokuruza bawe+, emwe, nzohagurutsa uruvyaro* rwawe mu nyuma zawe, na rwo rukazoba ari umwe mu bahungu bawe+, kandi nzoshimangira koko ingoma yiwe+. 12 Ni we azonyubakira inzu+, nanje ata gukeka nzoshimangira intebe y’ubwami yiwe gushika igihe kitagira urugero+. 13 Jewe ubwanje nzomubera se+, na we azombera umwana+; kandi sinzokura ubuntu bwuzuye urukundo bwanje kuri we+ nk’uko nabukuye ku wabayeho imbere yawe+. 14 Nzotuma ahagarara mu nzu+ yanje no mu ngoma+ yanje gushika igihe kitagira urugero, kandi intebe y’ubwami yiwe+ izoba iy’igihe kitagira urugero.”’”

15 Maze Natani avugana na Dawidi yisunze ayo majambo yose n’iryo yerekwa ryose+.

16 Inyuma y’ivyo Umwami Dawidi arinjira, yicara imbere ya Yehova+, avuga ati: “Mbega ndi nde+ ga Yehova Mana, kandi inzu yanje+ ni iki ku buryo wanshikanye iyo hose+? 17 Nk’aho ico coba ari ikintu gito mu maso yawe+, ewe Mana+, yamara uravuze ibijanye n’inzu y’umusavyi wawe gushika muri kazoza ka kure+, kandi wandavye nk’umuntu w’umunyacubahiro+, ewe Yehova Mana. 18 Ni igiki kindi Dawidi yokubwira ku bijanye n’ugutera iteka umusavyi wawe+ kandi wewe ubwawe uzi neza umusavyi wawe+? 19 Ewe Yehova, ivyo bintu bikomeye vyose wabikoze ku bw’umusavyi wawe no mu buryo buhuye n’umutima wawe+, mu kumenyekanisha ivyo bikorwa bikomeye vyose+. 20 Ewe Yehova, nta wuriho ameze nkawe+, kandi nta Mana iriho kiretse wewe+, twisunze ivyo twumvise n’amatwi yacu vyose. 21 Vyongeye, ni irindi hanga irihe mw’isi rimeze nk’abantu bawe Isirayeli+, abo Imana y’ukuri yagiye kwicungurira bwa gisata c’abantu+, kugira wiheshe izina biciye ku bikorwa bikomeye+ no ku bintu biteye ubwoba, mu kwirukana amahanga+ imbere y’abantu bawe wicunguriye ubakuye mu Misiri? 22 Nuko abantu bawe Isirayeli ubagira igisata cawe+ gushika igihe kitagira urugero, kandi wewe ubwawe, ewe Yehova, ucika Imana yabo+. 23 None rero, ewe Yehova, ijambo wavuze ku bijanye n’umusavyi wawe no ku bijanye n’inzu yiwe, niribe iryo kwizigirwa gushika igihe kitagira urugero, kandi ukore nk’uko wavuze. 24 Izina ryawe+ niribe iryo kwizigirwa ryongere ribe irihambaye+ gushika igihe kitagira urugero, kugira ngo abantu bavuge bati: ‘Yehova nyen’ingabo+, Imana ya Isirayeli+, ni Imana kuri Isirayeli+,’ kandi inzu ya Dawidi umusavyi wawe ibe iyamaho imbere yawe+. 25 Kuko wewe, Mana yanje, ari wewe wahishuriye umusavyi wawe umugambi wo kumwubakira inzu+. Ni co gitumye umusavyi wawe aronka akaryo ko gusengera imbere yawe. 26 None rero, ewe Yehova, uri Imana y’ukuri+, kandi usezeranye iyi neza ku bijanye n’umusavyi wawe+. 27 None rero, niwiyemeze koko guhezagira inzu y’umusavyi wawe kugira ngo igume imbere yawe gushika igihe kitagira urugero+; kuko ari wewe, ewe Yehova, wayihezagiye, kandi irahezagiwe gushika igihe kitagira urugero+.”

18 Inyuma y’ivyo, Dawidi atangura gukubita Abafilisitiya+ no kubamara igabo, maze afata i Gati+ n’ibisagara bihakukira ahakuye mu kuboko kw’Abafilisitiya. 2 Hanyuma atsinda Mowabu+, maze Abanyamowabu baba abasuku ba Dawidi bamuzanira ikibuguro+.

3 Dawidi atsindira kandi Hadadezeri+ umwami wa Zoba+ i Hamati+, mu gihe uno yariko aja gushinga ububasha bwiwe ku ruzi Efurate+. 4 Vyongeye, Dawidi amutwara imikogote igihumbi n’abagendera ku mafarasi ibihumbi indwi n’abagabo ibihumbi mirongo ibiri bari ku maguru+. Maze Dawidi aca ibitsi+ amafarasi yose y’imikogote+, mugabo asigaza muri yo amafarasi ijana y’imikogote. 5 Siriya y’i Damasiko ije gutabara Hadadezeri umwami wa Zoba+, Dawidi aca asasika mu Basiriya abagabo ibihumbi mirongo ibiri na bibiri. 6 Inyuma y’ivyo, Dawidi ashira ibirindiro muri Siriya y’i Damasiko+, maze Abasiriya baba abasuku ba Dawidi bamuzanira ikibuguro+. Yehova yaguma aha ubukiriro Dawidi aho yaja hose+. 7 Vyongeye, Dawidi atora inkinzo z’umuzingi+ z’inzahabu zari ku basuku ba Hadadezeri hanyuma azijana i Yeruzalemu+. 8 Dawidi atwara umujumpu mwinshi cane awukuye i Tibuhati+ n’i Kuni, ibisagara vya Hadadezeri. Salomo awukoramwo ca kiyaga c’umujumpu+ na za nkingi+ be n’ibikoresho vy’umujumpu+.

9 Toyu* umwami wa Hamati+ yumvise ko Dawidi yari yasasitse inteko za gisirikare zose za Hadadezeri+ umwami wa Zoba, 10 aca atuma Hadoramu+ umuhungu wiwe ku Mwami Dawidi kumubaza uko amerewe no kumukeza kubera yari yarwanije Hadadezeri akamutsinda (kuko Hadadezeri yari amaze kumenyera kurwanya Toyu), kandi yari kumwe n’ubwoko bwose bw’ibintu vy’inzahabu n’ifeza+ n’umujumpu. 11 Ivyo na vyo nyene Umwami Dawidi avyereza+ Yehova, kumwe n’ifeza be n’inzahabu yari yarakuye mu mahanga yose+: muri Edomu n’i Mowabu+ no kuri bene Amoni+ no ku Bafilisitiya+ no kuri Amaleki+.

12 Nayo Abishayi+ mwene Zeruwiya+, asasika Abanyedomu mu Mubande w’Umunyu+, asasika ibihumbi cumi n’umunani. 13 Ashira rero ibirindiro muri Edomu, maze Abanyedomu bose baba abasuku ba Dawidi+. Yehova yaguma akiza Dawidi aho yaja hose+. 14 Nuko Dawidi abandanya kuganza Isirayeli yose+, kandi yaguma ashitsa ingingo y’ubutungane be n’ubugororotsi ku bw’abantu biwe bose+. 15 Yowabu mwene Zeruwiya ni we yagaba ingabo+, Yehoshafati+ mwene Ahiludi na we akaba umukarani. 16 Zadoki+ mwene Ahitubu na Ahimeleki mwene Abiyatari+ bari abaherezi, Shavusha+ na we akaba umunyamabanga. 17 Benaya+ mwene Yehoyada+ ni we yagaba Abakereti+ n’Abapeleti+; kandi bene Dawidi bari bafise ikibanza ca mbere iruhande y’umwami+.

19 Inyuma y’ivyo, Nahashi+ umwami wa bene Amoni arapfa, maze umuhungu wiwe atangura kuganza mu kibanza ciwe+. 2 Nuko Dawidi avuga ati: “Nzogirira ubuntu bwuzuye urukundo+ Hanuni mwene Nahashi, kuko se wiwe yangiriye ubuntu bwuzuye urukundo+.” Dawidi rero atuma intumwa kumuhoza ku bijanye na se wiwe, maze abasuku ba Dawidi bashika mu gihugu ca bene Amoni+, kwa Hanuni kugira ngo bamuhoze. 3 Ariko abaganwa ba bene Amoni babwira Hanuni bati: “Ugira ngo icatumye Dawidi atuma abo kuguhoza ni ukugira ngo atere iteka so mu maso yawe? Mbega abasuku biwe ntibazanywe kuri wewe no kugendura igihugu bitonze, kugitata+ no kugitembagaza+?” 4 Hanuni rero afata abo basuku ba Dawidi+, arabamwa+ yongera acacuramwo kubiri impuzu zabo, azicacurira ku bibuno+ vyabo, araheza arabarungika+. 5 Mu nyuma abantu baja kumenyesha Dawidi ivy’abo bagabo; na we aca atuma abaja guhura na bo, kuko bari bateterejwe cane rwose; umwami abandanya kuvuga ati: “Nimugume i Yeriko+ gushika ubwanwa bwanyu bukuze bukaba bwinshi. Muzoheza mugaruke.”

6 Mu nyuma bene Amoni babona yuko basigaye banukira+ Dawidi, maze Hanuni+ n’abo bene Amoni barungika italanto igihumbi z’ifeza+ kugira ngo bikoteshereze imikogote+ n’abagendera ku mafarasi, vyo muri Mezopotamiya n’ivy’i Aramu-mayaka+ n’ivy’i Zoba+. 7 Gutyo bikoteshereza imikogote ibihumbi mirongo itatu na bibiri+, bahera n’umwami wa Mayaka n’abantu biwe+. Hanyuma baza gukambika imbere ya Medeba+; nayo bene Amoni, bakoranira hamwe bavuye mu bisagara vyabo, baraheza rero baraza kugira ngo barwane intambara.

8 Dawidi avyumvise, aca arungika Yowabu+ n’ingabo zose n’abagabo b’abanyenkomezi+. 9 Maze bene Amoni barasohoka, batonda urugamba ku bwinjiriro bw’igisagara, kandi abami+ bari baje, bari ukwabo mu gahinga.

10 Yowabu abonye ko ibitero vyari bimuturutse imbere n’inyuma, aca atora bamwe mu bagabo b’abahizi bose bo muri Isirayeli, abatondesha urugamba kugira bahure n’Abasiriya+. 11 Abantu basigaye, abashira mu kuboko kwa Abishayi+ mwene wabo kugira batonde urugamba ngo bahure na bene Amoni+. 12 Hanyuma avuga ati: “Abasiriya+ nibaba abakomeye rwose bakananira+, umbere rero ubukiriro; mugabo bene Amoni nibaba abakomeye rwose bakakunanira, nanje rero ndagukiza+. 13 Ukomere+, kugira ngo tugire umutima rugabo turwanire abantu bacu n’ibisagara vy’Imana yacu+; nayo Yehova, arakora ico abona ko ari ciza mu maso yiwe+.”

14 Nuko Yowabu n’abantu bari kumwe na we begera imbere y’Abasiriya ngo barwane+, maze bano barahunga+ bava imbere yiwe. 15 Nayo bene Amoni, babona ko Abasiriya bahunze, na bo nyene barahunga+ bava imbere ya Abishayi mwene wabo hanyuma binjira mu gisagara+. Mu nyuma, Yowabu yinjira i Yeruzalemu.

16 Abasiriya babonye ko batsinzwe+ imbere ya Isirayeli, barungika intumwa kuzana Abasiriya bari mu karere ka rwa Ruzi+, Shofaki* umukuru w’ingabo za Hadadezeri akaba ari we yari abagiye imbere.

17 Babimenyesheje Dawidi, aca akoraniriza hamwe Isirayeli yose maze ajabuka Yorodani, ashika aho bari araheza atonda urugamba kugira ngo abarwanye+. Dawidi atonze urugamba ngo ahure n’Abasiriya, bano batangura kumurwanya. 18 Ariko Abasiriya barahunga+ kubera Isirayeli; nuko Dawidi yica mu Basiriya abatwara imikogote ibihumbi indwi n’abagabo ibihumbi mirongo ine bari ku maguru, yongera yica Shofaki umukuru w’ingabo+. 19 Abasuku ba Hadadezeri babonye ko batsinzwe imbere ya Isirayeli+, baca bagiriranira amahoro na Dawidi, batangura kumukorera+; nuko Abasiriya ntibongera gushaka kugerageza gukiza bene Amoni+.

20 Nuko umwaka utanguye+, igihe abami basanzwe basohoka ku rugamba+, Yowabu ayobora inteko zo kurwana zo mu ngabo+ maze ageseza igihugu ca bene Amoni yongera aja gusugereza Raba+, mu gihe Dawidi yaba i Yeruzalemu; maze Yowabu asasika+ Raba, ayisenyurira hasi. 2 Mugabo Dawidi akura urugori rwa Malikamu* ku mutwe wayo+, maze asanga uburemere bwarwo bupima italanto y’inzahabu, kandi rwarimwo amabuye y’agaciro; nuko ruba ku mutwe wa Dawidi. Isahu ry’ico gisagara, iryo yasohoye, ryari ryinshi cane+. 3 Abantu bari muri co arabasohora, maze abakoresha+ mu gikorwa co kugegenesha amabuye imisumeno n’ico gukoresha ibikoresho bikarishe vy’icuma be n’ico gukoresha amashoka+; ukwo ni ko Dawidi yagirira ibisagara vyose vya bene Amoni. Amaherezo Dawidi n’abantu bose basubira i Yeruzalemu.

4 Inyuma y’ivyo haduka intambara i Gezeri+ yo kurwana n’Abafilisitiya+. Ico gihe ni ho Sibekayi+ Umuhusha yagarika Sipayi* wo mu bavutse ku Barefayimu+, ku buryo Abafilisitiya bamarwa igabo.

5 Hongera kwaduka intambara yo kurwanya Abafilisitiya; nuko Elihanani+ mwene Yayiri agarika Lahumi mwene wabo na Goliyati+ Umugiti, uruti rw’icumu ryiwe rukaba rwari rumeze nk’igiti kizingirwako inyuzi c’abajishi b’impuzu+.

6 Hongera kandi kwaduka intambara i Gati+, mu gihe hari umugabo w’igihagararo c’akataraboneka+ yari afise intoke n’amano bitandatubitandatu, vyose hamwe bikaba vyari mirongo ibiri na bine+; na we nyene yari yavutse ku Barefayimu+. 7 Nuko aguma acokora+ Isirayeli. Amaherezo Yonatani umuhungu wa Shimeya+ mwene wabo na Dawidi aramugarika.

8 Abo ni bo bari bavutse ku Barefayimu+ i Gati+; nuko bagwa+ biciye ku kuboko kwa Dawidi no ku kuboko kw’abasuku biwe.

21 Maze Shetani ahagurukira Isirayeli, asunikira+ Dawidi guharūra Isirayeli. 2 Nuko Dawidi abwira Yowabu+ n’abakuru b’abantu ati: “Gende muharure+ Isirayeli kuva i Beyeri-sheba+ gushika i Dani+ muheze munzanire ivyo mwaharuye kugira ngo menye igitigiri cabo+.” 3 Mugabo Yowabu avuga ati: “Yehova yongere ku bantu biwe abangana na bo incuro ijana+. Mbega ga mukama wanje umwami, bose si abasuku b’umukama wanje? None umukama wanje aronderera iki ivyo+? Kubera iki yokwegera Isirayeli ukwagirwa n’icaha?”

4 Ariko ijambo ry’umwami+ rinesha Yowabu, ku buryo Yowabu asohoka+ akagendagenda muri Isirayeli yose, hanyuma aza i Yeruzalemu+. 5 Nuko Yowabu aha Dawidi igitigiri c’abantu bari banditswe; Isirayeli yose yarimwo abagabo umuliyoni n’ibihumbi ijana barwanisha inkota+, Yuda na yo abagabo ibihumbi amajana ane na mirongo irindwi barwanisha inkota. 6 Mugabo Lewi+ na Benyamini ntiyari yabanditse muri bo+, kuko ijambo ry’umwami ryari ryabaye iriteye ishishi kuri Yowabu.

7 Nuko ico kintu kiba kibi mu maso y’Imana y’ukuri+, ku buryo ikubita Isirayeli. 8 Dawidi abwira rero Imana y’ukuri ati: “Nacumuye+ cane kuko nakoze ico kintu. None rero, ndakwinginze utume ikosa ry’umusavyi wawe rirengana+; kuko nakoze ivy’ubupfu rwose+.” 9 Nuko Yehova abwira Gadi+ umubonyi wa Dawidi+ ati: 10 “Genda ubwire Dawidi uti: ‘Ibi ni vyo Yehova avuze: “Hari ibintu bitatu nshize imbere yawe+. Niwihitiremwo kimwe muri vyo, kugira ngo ndakikugirire+.”’” 11 Gadi yinjira rero kwa Dawidi+ hanyuma amubwira ati: “Ibi ni vyo Yehova avuze: ‘Niwihitiremwo, 12 nimba hazoca imyaka itatu hari ikigoyi+; canke amezi atatu ugesezwa imbere y’abarwanizi bawe+, inkota y’abansi bawe iguhamvya, canke hace imisi itatu hari inkota ya Yehova+ mu gihugu, egome, ikiza+, umumarayika wa Yehova agenda aratikiza+ mu karere kose ka Isirayeli.’ None rero nurabe ico ndi bwishure uwantumye.” 13 Nuko Dawidi abwira Gadi ati: “Birantuntuje cane. Ndakwinginze ngwe mu kuboko kwa Yehova+, kuko imbabazi ziwe ari nyinshi cane+; mugabo singwe mu kuboko kw’umuntu+.”

14 Maze Yehova arungika ikiza+ muri Isirayeli, ku buryo muri Isirayeli hagwa abantu ibihumbi mirongo irindwi+. 15 Vyongeye, Imana y’ukuri irungika umumarayika i Yeruzalemu kugira ngo ahahonye+; agitangura kuhahonya, Yehova arabibona hanyuma atangura kwicuza kubera ico cago+; maze abwira nya mumarayika yariko arahonya ati: “Birahagije+! Ubu rero numanure ukuboko kwawe.” Uwo mumarayika wa Yehova yari ahagaze hafi y’imbuga y’ikubitiro ya Orunani*+ Umuyebusi+.

16 Dawidi araramuye amaso, abona nya mumarayika wa Yehova+ ahagaze hagati y’isi n’ijuru, yasokoye inkota+ yiwe ayifise mu kuboko, ayerekeje i Yeruzalemu; maze Dawidi n’abagabo b’inararibonye, bambaye amagunira*+, baca bagwa hasi bubamye+. 17 Nuko Dawidi abwira Imana y’ukuri ati: “None si jewe navuze ngo baharure abantu, kandi si jewe nacumuye ngakora koko nabi+? Nayo izi ntama+, zakoze iki? Ewe Yehova Mana yanje, ndakwinginze ukuboko kwawe kuze kuri jewe no ku nzu ya dawe; mugabo ntikuze ku bantu bawe+, ngo kubateze ikiza.”

18 Nya mumarayika wa Yehova na we abwira Gadi+ ngo abwire Dawidi aduge gushingira igicaniro Yehova ku mbuga y’ikubitiro ya Orunani Umuyebusi+. 19 Dawidi araduga rero, akurikije ijambo rya Gadi, iryo yari avuze mw’izina rya Yehova+. 20 Muri ico gihe, Orunani+ arahindukira maze abona nya mumarayika; kandi abahungu biwe bane bari kumwe na we bariko barinyegeza. Kandi Orunani yari yamye arakubita ingano. 21 Nuko Dawidi araza gushika kwa Orunani. Orunani aravye akabona Dawidi+, aca ava kuri nya mbuga y’ikubitiro maze yunamira Dawidi, mu maso hiwe hashika hasi. 22 Maze Dawidi abwira Orunani ati: “Numpe aho hantu hari imbuga y’ikubitiro, kugira ngo ndahubakire igicaniro Yehova. Nuhampe+ ku mahera+ hakwiriye, kugira ngo ikiza+ kibone guhagarara kive ku bantu.” 23 Mugabo Orunani abwira Dawidi ati: “Nuhatware habe ahawe+, kandi umukama wanje umwami akore ico abona ko ari ciza. Ehe ntanze inka+ ngo zibe amashikanwa aturirwa, n’igikubitisho+ ngo kibe inkwi+, n’ingano bwa shikanwa ry’intete. Vyose ndabitanze+.”

24 Ariko Umwami Dawidi abwira Orunani ati: “Oya, ahubwo singenda ntahaguze amahera hakwiriye+, kuko ntari butware ivyawe kuri Yehova kugira ngo nshikane ibimazi biturirwa ata co biguzwe.” 25 Dawidi aha rero Orunani ku bw’aho hantu shekeli z’inzahabu zifise uburemere bw’amajana atandatu+. 26 Maze Dawidi yubakira igicaniro+ Yehova ng’aho hanyuma ashikana ibimazi biturirwa n’ibimazi vy’ugusangira, araheza atangura kwambaza Yehova+, na we amwishura akoresheje umuriro+ uvuye mu majuru, uza kuri nya gicaniro c’ishikanwa riturirwa. 27 Vyongeye, Yehova ategeka nya mumarayika+, na we aca asubiza inkota yiwe mu rwubati. 28 Ico gihe, Dawidi abonye ko Yehova amwishuriye kuri nya mbuga y’ikubitiro ya Orunani Umuyebusi, abandanya kuhashikanira ibimazi+. 29 Mugabo ya taberenakulo ya Yehova Musa yari yarakoreye mu gahinga na ca gicaniro c’ishikanwa riturirwa, ico gihe vyari ku kibanza gikirurutse c’i Gibeyoni+. 30 Kandi Dawidi ntiyari yarashoboye kuja imbere yaco kugira ngo abaze Imana, kuko yari yaragize ubwoba+ kubera inkota ya wa mumarayika wa Yehova.

22 Maze Dawidi avuga ati: “Aha ni ho nzu+ ya Yehova Imana y’ukuri, kandi iki ni co gicaniro+ co gushikanirako ishikanwa riturirwa ku bwa Isirayeli.”

2 Nuko Dawidi avuga ko bakoranya ba kavamahanga+ bari mu gihugu ca Isirayeli, maze abagira ababaji b’amabuye+ kugira ngo babaze amabuye+ y’ikwadarato yo kwubaka inzu y’Imana y’ukuri. 3 Vyongeye, Dawidi ategura ivyuma vyinshi vyo gukoramwo imisumari y’imiryango y’amarembo n’ivyo gukoramwo ibidadizo, ategura n’umujumpu mwinshi utoshobora gupimwa+, 4 be n’ibiti vy’amasederi+ bitagira igitigiri; kuko Abanyasidoni+ n’Abanyatiro+ bari bazaniye Dawidi ibiti vy’amasederi vyinshi. 5 Dawidi avuga rero ati: “Salomo umuhungu wanje aracari muto kandi nta nkomezi aragira+, kandi inzu igiye kwubakirwa Yehova izoba ari iy’agatangaza bimwe bihebuje+, kugira ngo ibe ntangere mu bwiza+ ku bihugu vyose. Hinge rero ndamugirire imyiteguro.” Nuko Dawidi ategura ibintu vyinshi imbere y’uko apfa+.

6 Vyongeye, ahamagara Salomo umuhungu wiwe kugira ngo amutegeke kwubakira inzu Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli. 7 Nuko Dawidi abwira Salomo umuhungu wiwe ati: “Jewe ubwanje naragize icipfuzo mu mutima wanje+ co kwubakira inzu izina+ rya Yehova Imana yanje. 8 Mugabo ijambo rya Yehova ryaje kuri jewe riti: ‘Wavishije amaraso menshi+ kandi warwanye intambara zikomakomeye+. Ntuzokwubakira inzu izina ryanje+, kuko wavishije amaraso menshi kw’isi imbere yanje. 9 Ehe uzovyarirwa umuhungu+. Azoba umugabo arangwa n’akaruhuko, kandi nzomuha ata gukeka kuruhuka abansi biwe bose impande zose+; kuko azokwitwa Salomo*+, kandi nzoha amahoro+ n’impore Isirayeli mu misi yiwe. 10 Ni we azokwubakira inzu izina ryanje+, kandi azombera umwana+, nanje ndamubere se+. Sinzobura gushimangira intebe y’ubwami y’ingoma yiwe+ kuri Isirayeli gushika igihe kitagira urugero.’

11 “None rero mwananje, Yehova abane nawe; uze uroranirwe, wubake inzu ya Yehova Imana yawe, nk’uko yavuze ku bikwerekeye+. 12 Gusa, Yehova aguhe ukwiyubara n’ugutegera+, kandi aguhe ibwirizwa ku vyerekeye Isirayeli, egome, kugira ngo ugumye itegeko rya Yehova Imana yawe+. 13 Aho ni ho uzororanirwa+, niwitwararika gushitsa ingingo nyobozi+ n’ingingo z’ubutungane+ Yehova yategetse+ Musa ku bijanye na Isirayeli. Ugire umutima rugabo kandi ukomere+. Ntutinye+ canke ngo utekerwe n’ubwoba+. 14 Ehe mu kiringo c’amarushwa yanje+ narateguriye inzu ya Yehova italanto ibihumbi ijana z’inzahabu+ n’italanto umuliyoni z’ifeza; umujumpu+ n’ivyuma+ ntibishobora gupimwa kuko ari vyinshi cane; kandi nateguye ibiti n’amabuye, mugabo uzovyongereza. 15 Kandi uri kumwe n’abazokora ico gikorwa benshi, ababaji b’amabuye n’abakora mu vy’amabuye+ n’ibiti, n’umuntu wese w’umuhanga mu gikorwa c’ubwoko bwose+. 16 Inzahabu, ifeza, umujumpu n’ivyuma ntibishobora guharurwa+. Haguruka ukore+, kandi Yehova abane nawe+.”

17 Maze Dawidi ategeka abaganwa bose ba Isirayeli gufasha Salomo umuhungu wiwe, ati: 18 “Mbega Yehova Imana yanyu+ ntari kumwe namwe, kandi ntiyabahaye akaruhuko impande zose+? Kuko yatanze mu kuboko kwanje ababa mu gihugu, kandi igihugu caramazwe igabo imbere ya Yehova+ n’imbere y’abantu biwe. 19 None rero, nimushire umutima wanyu n’ubuzima bwanyu+ ku kubaza Yehova Imana yanyu+, kandi muhaguruke mwubake aheranda+ ha Yehova Imana y’ukuri+, kugira ngo muzane isandugu+ y’isezerano rya Yehova n’ibikoresho vyeranda vy’Imana y’ukuri ku nzu yubakiwe izina+ rya Yehova.”

23 Kandi Dawidi yari amaze gusaza+, ahâze imisi; yimika rero Salomo+ umuhungu wiwe ngo abe umwami wa Isirayeli. 2 Maze akoranya abaganwa bose+ ba Isirayeli n’abaherezi+ n’Abalewi+. 3 Nuko Abalewi baraharurwa kuva ku myaka mirongo itatu kuduga+; igitigiri cabo, umwumwe ukwiwe, umuntu w’umugabo ukwiwe, kiba ibihumbi mirongo itatu n’umunani. 4 Muri abo, abo kuba abahagarikizi b’igikorwa c’inzu ya Yehova bari ibihumbi mirongo ibiri na bine; abo kuba abarongozi+ n’abacamanza+ bari ibihumbi bitandatu; 5 n’ibihumbi bine vy’abarinzi b’amarembo+, n’ibihumbi bine vy’abashemeza+ Yehova ku bicurarangisho+ Dawidi yavuze ku bivyerekeye ati: “Nabikoze ngo bikoreshwe ku bw’ugushemeza.”

6 Maze Dawidi abagabanganya mu mice + ku bwa bene Lewi+, ni ukuvuga ku bwa Gerishoni, Kohati na Merari. 7 Ku bw’Abagerishoni: Ladani na Shimeyi. 8 Bene Ladani bari Yehiyele+ umukuru, na Zetamu na Yoweli+: batatu. 9 Bene Shimeyi bari Shelomoti na Haziyeli na Harani: batatu. Abo ni bo bari abakuru ba ba se ku bwa Ladani. 10 Bene Shimeyi na bo bari Yahati, Zina na Yewushi na Beriya. Abo uko ari bane bari bene Shimeyi. 11 Yahati aba umukuru, Ziza na we uwugira kabiri. Yewushi na Beriya bobo, ntibaronse abahungu benshi; baba rero inzu imwe ya ba sekuru+ ku bw’umugwi ujejwe ibango umwe.

12 Bene Kohati+ bari Amuramu, Izihari+, Heburoni+ na Uziyeli+: bane. 13 Bene Amuramu bari Aroni+ na Musa+. Mugabo Aroni ashirwa ku ruhande+ kugira ngo yeze Aheranda Rwose*+, we n’abahungu biwe gushika igihe kitagira urugero, kugira ngo bafumbishe umwotsi w’ibimazi+ imbere ya Yehova, kugira ngo bamukorere+ no kugira ngo bahezagire+ mw’izina ryiwe gushika igihe kitagira urugero. 14 Nayo Musa wa muntu w’Imana y’ukuri+, abahungu biwe babandanya guharurwa mu muryango w’Abalewi+. 15 Bene Musa bari Gerishomu+ na Eliyezeri+. 16 Bene Gerishomu: Shebuweli+ umukuru. 17 Bene Eliyezeri na bo: Rehabiya+ umukuru; Eliyezeri ntiyaronka abandi bahungu, mugabo bene Rehabiya baba benshi bihebuje. 18 Bene Izihari+: Shelomiti+ umukuru. 19 Bene Heburoni bari Yeriya umukuru, Amariya uwugira kabiri, Yahaziyeli uwugira gatatu na Yekameyamu+ uwugira kane. 20 Bene Uziyeli+ bari Mika umukuru na Ishiya uwugira kabiri.

21 Bene Merari+ bari Mahili na Mushi+. Bene Mahili bari Eleyazari+ na Kishi. 22 Mugabo Eleyazari arapfa; nta bahungu yari yararonse, atari abakobwa gusa. Nuko abahungu ba Kishi bene wabo barababira+. 23 Bene Mushi bari Mahili na Ederi na Yeremoti+: batatu.

24 Abo ni bo bari bene Lewi, hakurikijwe inzu ya ba se+, abakuru ba ba se, hakurikijwe abashinzwe amabanga babo, hisunzwe igitigiri c’amazina, umwumwe ukwiwe, abarangura umurimo ujanye n’igikorwa+ c’inzu ya Yehova, kuva ku bafise imyaka mirongo ibiri kuduga+. 25 Kuko Dawidi yari yaravuze ati: “Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli yahaye akaruhuko abantu biwe+, kandi azoba i Yeruzalemu gushika igihe kitagira urugero+. 26 Bisubiye, Abalewi ntibizoba ngombwa ko barerura itaberenakulo canke ico ari co cose mu bikoresho vyayo bikoreshwa igikorwa cayo+.” 27 Kuko, hisunzwe amajambo+ ya nyuma ya Dawidi, abo bari igitigiri ca bene Lewi, kuva ku bafise imyaka mirongo ibiri kuduga. 28 Kuko igikorwa cabo cari ico gufasha bene Aroni+ ku bijanye n’igikorwa co ku nzu ya Yehova, ku vyerekeye ibigo+, ivyumba vy’uburiro+, ugutyorora ikintu ceranda cose+, be n’umurimo w’igikorwa co ku nzu y’Imana y’ukuri, 29 egome, ku bijanye n’imikate igerekeranye+ no ku bijanye n’ifu inoze+ y’ishikanwa ry’intete no ku bijanye n’udukate+ tutagiramwo+ umwambiro no ku bijanye n’udutsima two kw’ikarayi+ no ku bijanye n’igicumbe kivanze+ no ku bijanye n’ingero zose z’ibiseseka n’iz’uburebure+; 30 no ku bijanye n’uguhagarara+ ng’aho buri gitondo+ kugira ngo bakengurukire+ bongere bashemeze+ Yehova, bakabigenza gutyo nyene no ku mugoroba; 31 no ku bijanye n’ugushikanira Yehova ibimazi biturirwa ku masabato+, ku mboneko z’ukwezi+ no ku biringo vy’imisi mikuru+, hakurikijwe igitigiri, hisunzwe ingingo ivyerekeye, bakama babigira imbere ya Yehova. 32 Kandi bitwararika ivyo kurinda+ ihema ry’ihuriro no kurinda ahantu heranda+ no kurinda abahungu ba Aroni bene wabo, ku bw’igikorwa c’inzu ya Yehova+.

24 Nuko bene Aroni bagaburwa mu mice. Bene Aroni bari Nadabu+ na Abihu+, Eleyazari+ na Itamari+. 2 Ariko Nadabu na Abihu+ bapfa imbere ya se+; nta bahungu bari bararonse, mugabo Eleyazari+ na Itamari babandanya gukora ari abaherezi. 3 Dawidi, na Zadoki+ wo muri bene Eleyazari, na Ahimeleki+ wo muri bene Itamari, babagabura mu mice ku bw’ibanga ryabo mu gikorwa cabo+. 4 Mugabo bene Eleyazari bari bafise abakuru benshi kurusha bene Itamari. Nuko barabagabanganya ku buryo bene Eleyazari baronka cumi na batandatu ngo babe abakuru b’amazu ya ba sekuru, bene Itamari na bo baronka umunani ngo babe abakuru b’amazu ya ba sekuru yabo.

5 Vyongeye, babagabanganya biciye ku bupfindo+, bano kumwe na bariya, kuko hategerezwa kubaho abakuru b’ahantu heranda+ n’abakuru bakorera Imana y’ukuri mu bahungu ba Eleyazari no mu bahungu ba Itamari. 6 Maze Shemaya mwene Netaneli, umunyamabanga+ w’Abalewi, abandikira imbere y’umwami n’abaganwa n’imbere ya Zadoki+ umuherezi na Ahimeleki+ mwene Abiyatari+ n’imbere y’abakuru ba ba se b’abaherezi n’ab’Abalewi+, hagatorwa inzu ya ba sekuru imwe ku bwa Eleyazari+ hagatorwa n’imwe ku bwa Itamari+.

7 Nuko ubupfindo burasohoka: ubwa mbere buba ubwa Yehoyaribu+; ubugira kabiri buba ubwa Yedaya, 8 ubugira gatatu buba ubwa Harimu, ubugira kane buba ubwa Seworimu, 9 ubugira gatanu buba ubwa Malikiya, ubugira gatandatu buba ubwa Miyamini, 10 ubugira indwi buba ubwa Hakozi, ubugira umunani buba ubwa Abiya+, 11 ubugira icenda buba ubwa Yeshuwa, ubugira cumi buba ubwa Shekaniya, 12 ubugira cumi na rimwe buba ubwa Eliyashibu, ubugira cumi na kabiri buba ubwa Yakimu, 13 ubugira cumi na gatatu buba ubwa Hupa, ubugira cumi na kane buba ubwa Yeshebeyabu, 14 ubugira cumi na gatanu buba ubwa Biliga, ubugira cumi na gatandatu buba ubwa Imeri, 15 ubugira cumi n’indwi buba ubwa Heziri, ubugira cumi n’umunani buba ubwa Hapizezi, 16 ubugira cumi n’icenda buba ubwa Petahiya, ubugira mirongo ibiri buba ubwa Yehezikeli, 17 ubugira mirongo ibiri na rimwe buba ubwa Yakini, ubugira mirongo ibiri na kabiri buba ubwa Gamuli, 18 ubugira mirongo ibiri na gatatu buba ubwa Delaya, ubugira mirongo ibiri na kane buba ubwa Mayaziya.

19 Ayo ni yo yari amabanga+ yabo ku bw’igikorwa+ cabo, kugira ngo binjire mu nzu ya Yehova, hakurikijwe uburenganzira bwabo+ bwatanzwe n’ukuboko kwa Aroni sekuruza wabo, nk’uko Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli yari yaramutegetse.

20 Muri bene Lewi bari basigaye: muri bene Amuramu+ hari Shubayeli+; muri bene Shubayeli hari Yehideya; 21 kuri Rehabiya+: muri bene Rehabiya hari Ishiya umukuru; 22 mu Bizihari+ hari Shelomoti+; muri bene Shelomoti hari Yahati; 23 bene Heburoni+: Yeriya+ umukuru, Amariya uwugira kabiri, Yahaziyeli uwugira gatatu na Yekameyamu uwugira kane. 24 Bene Uziyeli: Mika; muri bene Mika+ hari Shamiri. 25 Mwene wabo na Mika yari Ishiya; muri bene Ishiya hari Zekariya.

26 Bene Merari+ bari Mahili+ na Mushi+; bene Yayaziya: Beno. 27 Bene Merari: Kuri Yayaziya hari Beno na Shohamu na Zakuri na Iburi. 28 Kuri Mahili hari Eleyazari, uwutaronse abahungu+. 29 Kuri Kishi: bene Kishi: Yerahimeyeli. 30 Bene Mushi bari Mahili+ na Ederi na Yerimoti+.

Abo ni bo bari abahungu b’Abalewi hakurikijwe amazu ya ba sekuru+ yabo. 31 Na bo nyene bapfinda ubupfindo+ neza na neza nk’uko bene wabo abahungu ba Aroni bagize imbere ya Dawidi umwami n’imbere ya Zadoki na Ahimeleki n’imbere y’abakuru b’amazu ya ba sekuru b’abaherezi n’ab’Abalewi. Na ho ku bijanye n’amazu ya ba sekuru+, umukuru yafatwa cokimwe na mwene wabo mutoyi.

25 Vyongeye, Dawidi n’abakuru+ b’imigwi y’abakora igikorwa+ batandukanya ku bw’igikorwa bamwe muri bene Asafu na Hemani+ na Yedutuni+, abavuga ubuhanuzi bakoresheje inanga+ n’ibicurarangisho vy’imirya+ n’ivyuma bisāma+. Muri bo harimwo abagabo bari n’ivyo bajejwe ku bw’igikorwa cabo. 2 Muri bene Asafu: Zakuri na Yozefu+ na Netaniya na Asharela+, bene Asafu bari bayobowe na Asafu+, uwavuga ubuhanuzi ayobowe n’umwami. 3 Kuri Yedutuni+: bene Yedutuni ari bo Gedaliya+ na Zeri+ na Yeshaya+ na Shimeyi na Hashabiya na Matitiya+, batandatu, bakaba bayoborwa na se Yedutuni, uwavuga ubuhanuzi akoresheje inanga kugira ngo akengurukire yongere ashemeze Yehova+. 4 Kuri Hemani+: bene Hemani ari bo Bukiya+ na Mataniya+ na Uziyeli+ na Shebuweli na Yerimoti na Hananiya+ na Hanani na Eliyata+ na Gidaliti+ na Romamuti-ezeri+ na Yoshibekasha+ na Maloti+ na Hotiri+ na Mahaziyoti. 5 Abo bose bari bene Hemani, umubonyi+ w’umwami mu bintu vy’Imana y’ukuri yaduza ihembe ryiwe; gutyo Imana y’ukuri iha Hemani abahungu cumi na bane n’abakobwa batatu+. 6 Abo bose bari bayobowe na se mu vyo kuririmba ku nzu ya Yehova, bakoresheje ivyuma bisāma+ n’ibicurarangisho vy’imirya+ n’inanga+ ku bw’igikorwa co ku nzu y’Imana y’ukuri.

Abayoborwa n’umwami bari Asafu na Yedutuni na Hemani+.

7 Igitigiri cabo hamwe na bene wabo bamenyerejwe mu vy’ukuririmbira Yehova+, abahanga+ bose, cari amajana abiri na mirongo umunani n’umunani. 8 Bapfinda rero ubupfindo+ ku bijanye n’ibintu vyo kwitwararika, umutoyi ari kimwe n’uwuhambaye+, umuhanga+ hamwe n’uwiga.

9 Nuko ubupfindo burasohoka: ubwa mbere buba ubwa Asafu ku bwa Yozefu+, ubugira kabiri buba ubwa Gedaliya+ (we na bene wabo be n’abahungu biwe bari cumi na babiri); 10 ubugira gatatu buba ubwa Zakuri+ n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 11 ubugira kane buba ubwa Iziri+ n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 12 ubugira gatanu buba ubwa Netaniya+ n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 13 ubugira gatandatu buba ubwa Bukiya n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 14 ubugira indwi buba ubwa Yesharela+ n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 15 ubugira umunani buba ubwa Yeshaya n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 16 ubugira icenda buba ubwa Mataniya n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 17 ubugira cumi buba ubwa Shimeyi n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 18 ubugira cumi na rimwe buba ubwa Azareli+ n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 19 ubugira cumi na kabiri buba ubwa Hashabiya n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 20 ubugira cumi na gatatu buba ubwa Shubayeli+ n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 21 ubugira cumi na kane buba ubwa Matitiya n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 22 ubugira cumi na gatanu buba ubwa Yeremoti n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 23 ubugira cumi na gatandatu buba ubwa Hananiya n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 24 ubugira cumi n’indwi buba ubwa Yoshibekasha n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 25 ubugira cumi n’umunani buba ubwa Hanani n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 26 ubugira cumi n’icenda buba ubwa Maloti n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 27 ubugira mirongo ibiri buba ubwa Eliyata n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 28 ubugira mirongo ibiri na rimwe buba ubwa Hotiri n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 29 ubugira mirongo ibiri na kabiri buba ubwa Gidaliti n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 30 ubugira mirongo ibiri na gatatu buba ubwa Mahaziyoti+ n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri; 31 ubugira mirongo ibiri na kane buba ubwa Romamuti-ezeri+ n’abahungu biwe na bene wabo: cumi na babiri.

26 Ivyerekeye imice y’abarinzi b’amarembo+: Mu Ba-Kora+: Meshelemiya+ mwene Kore wo muri bene Asafu. 2 Meshelemiya aronka abahungu: Zekariya imfura, Yediyayeli uwugira kabiri, Zebadiya uwugira gatatu, Yatiniyeli uwugira kane, 3 Elamu uwugira gatanu, Yehohanani uwugira gatandatu, Eliyeho-enayi uwugira indwi. 4 Obedi-edomu+ aronka abahungu: Shemaya imfura, Yehozabadi uwugira kabiri, Yowa uwugira gatatu, Sakari uwugira kane, Netaneli uwugira gatanu, 5 Amiyeli uwugira gatandatu, Isakari uwugira indwi, Pewuletayi uwugira umunani; kuko Imana yari yaramuhezagiye+.

6 Nuko Shemaya umuhungu wiwe avyarirwa abahungu babaye abatware b’inzu ya se, kuko bari abagabo babishoboye kandi b’abanyenkomezi. 7 Bene Shemaya: Otini na Refaheli na Obedi na Elizabadi, bene wabo bakaba bari abagabo babishoboye, ari bo Elihu na Semakiya. 8 Abo bose bari abo muri bene Obedi-edomu, bo n’abahungu babo be na bene wabo, abagabo babishoboye bafise inkomezi zo gukora igikorwa, bakaba bari mirongo itandatu na babiri begukira Obedi-edomu. 9 Meshelemiya+ aronka abahungu na bene wabo, bakaba bari abagabo babishoboye cumi n’umunani. 10 Hosa wo muri bene Merari aronka abahungu. Shimuri ni we yari umukuru, kuko naho atari imfura+, se wiwe yamugenye kuba umukuru+; 11 Hilikiya uwugira kabiri, Tebaliya uwugira gatatu, Zekariya uwugira kane. Abahungu ba Hosa na bene wabo, bose hamwe bari cumi na batatu.

12 Muri iyo mice y’abarinzi b’amarembo, abakuru bari bafise ibikorwa nk’uko bene wabo bari babifise+, vyo gukorera ku nzu ya Yehova. 13 Nuko bapfinda ubupfindo+, ku bw’umuto cokimwe no ku bw’uwuhambaye, hakurikijwe amazu ya ba sekuru+ yabo, ku bw’amarembo atandukanye. 14 Maze ubupfindo bwo mu buseruko buba ubwa Shelemiya+. Bapfinda ubupfindo ku bwa Zekariya+ umuhungu wiwe, umujanama+ yiyubara, maze ubupfindo bwiwe busohoka bwerekana mu buraruko+. 15 Ubwa Obedi-edomu bwerekana mu bumanuko, abahungu biwe+ na bo baronka ibigega+. 16 Ubwa Shupimu na Hosa+ bwerekana mu burengero, hafi y’Irembo Shaleketi, iruhande y’inzira y’ikirari iduga, umugwi wo kurinda+ ugatumberana n’uwundi mugwi wo kurinda+; 17 mu buseruko hari Abalewi batandatu; mu buraruko bane ku musi+; mu bumanuko bane ku musi; ku bw’ububiko+ na ho, babiribabiri; 18 ku bw’ibaraza mu burengero, bane iruhande y’inzira y’ikirari+, babiri kw’ibaraza. 19 Iyo ni yo yari imice y’abarinzi b’amarembo yo mu bahungu b’Aba-Kora+ n’iyo muri bene Merari+.

20 Ku bijanye n’Abalewi, Ahiya yari ajejwe amatunga+ y’inzu y’Imana y’ukuri n’amatunga y’ibintu vyagizwe vyeranda+. 21 Bene Ladani+, ari bo bahungu b’Umugerishoni begukira Ladani, bakaba bari abakuru b’amazu ya ba sekuru begukira Ladani Umugerishoni: Yehiyeli+. 22 Bene Yehiyeli, ari bo Zetamu na Yoweli+ mwene wabo, bari bajejwe amatunga+ y’inzu ya Yehova. 23 Ku bijanye n’Abamuramu, ku bijanye n’Abizihari, ku bijanye n’Abaheburoni, ku bijanye n’Abuziyeli+, 24 egome, Shebuweli+ mwene Gerishomu, Gerishomu wa Musa ni we yari indongozi ijejwe ububiko. 25 Ku bijanye na bene wabo: kuri Eliyezeri+ hari Rehabiya+ umuhungu wiwe na Yeshaya wa Rehabiya na Yoramu wa Yeshaya na Zikiri wa Yoramu na Shelomoti wa Zikiri. 26 Uwo Shelomoti na bene wabo bari bajejwe amatunga yose y’ibintu vyagizwe vyeranda+, ivyo Dawidi+ umwami, n’abakuru b’amazu ya ba sekuru+ babo, n’abakuru b’ibihumbi n’ab’amajana, n’abakuru b’ingabo bari baragize vyeranda. 27 Ku vyavuye mu ntambara+ no ku vyavuye mw’isahu+ hari ivyo bari baragize vyeranda kugira ngo bibungabunge inzu ya Yehova. 28 Bari bajejwe kandi ibintu vyose Samweli rubonyi+ na Sauli mwene Kishi na Abuneri+ mwene Neri na Yowabu+ mwene Zeruwiya+ bari baragize vyeranda. Ivyo umuntu wese yagira vyeranda vyagabwa na Shelomiti be na bene wabo.

29 Mu Bizihari+, Kenaniya n’abahungu biwe bari bajejwe ivyo hanze+ ari abarongozi n’abacamanza+ kuri Isirayeli.

30 Mu Baheburoni+, Hashabiya na bene wabo, abagabo babishoboye+ igihumbi n’amajana indwi, bari bajejwe ivy’ubuyobozi bwa Isirayeli mu karere ka Yorodani, mu burengero, ku bijanye n’igikorwa cose ca Yehova no ku bijanye n’igikorwa c’umwami. 31 Mu Baheburoni, Yeriya+ yari umukuru w’Abaheburoni hakurikijwe amayaruka yabo, nk’uko ba sekuruza bari. Nuko mu mwaka ugira mirongo ine+ w’ingoma ya Dawidi, barabarondera maze baronka muri bo abagabo b’intwari kandi b’abanyenkomezi, i Yazeri+ muri Gileyadi+. 32 Bene wabo n’uwo, abagabo babishoboye+, bari ibihumbi bibiri n’amajana indwi, abakuru b’amazu ya ba sekuru+. Dawidi umwami abashinga rero kugaba Abarubeni n’Abagadi n’igice c’umuryango w’Abamanase+, ku bijanye n’ibintu vyose vy’Imana y’ukuri be n’ibintu+ vyose vy’umwami.

27 Nayo bene Isirayeli hakurikijwe igitigiri cabo, abakuru b’amazu ya ba sekuru+ n’abakuru+ b’ibihumbi n’ab’amajana+ n’abarongozi babo bakorera+ umwami mu bintu vyose vy’imice y’abinjira n’abasohoka ku kwezi ku kwezi, mu mezi yose y’umwaka, umuce umwumwe wose wari ugizwe n’ibihumbi mirongo ibiri na bine.

16 Abagaba imiryango ya Isirayeli+: mu Barubeni: Eliyezeri mwene Zikiri ni we yari indongozi; mu Basimeyoni: Shefatiya mwene Mayaka; 17 kuri Lewi: Hashabiya mwene Kemuweli; kuri Aroni: Zadoki+; 18 kuri Yuda: Elihu+, umwe muri bene wabo na Dawidi+; kuri Isakari: Omuri mwene Mikaheli; 19 kuri Zebuloni: Ishimaya mwene Obadiya; kuri Nafutali: Yerimoti mwene Aziriyeli; 20 muri bene Efurayimu: Hosheya mwene Azaziya; mu gice c’umuryango wa Manase: Yoweli mwene Pedaya; 21 mu gice c’umuryango wa Manase c’i Gileyadi: Ido mwene Zekariya; kuri Benyamini: Yayasiyeli mwene Abuneri+; 22 kuri Dani: Azareli mwene Yerohamu. Abo ni bo bari abaganwa+ b’imiryango ya Isirayeli.

23 Ariko Dawidi ntiyaharura igitigiri c’abari bafise imyaka iva kuri mirongo ibiri kuja munsi, kuko Yehova yari yarasezeranye gutuma Isirayeli ingana n’inyenyeri zo mu majuru+. 24 Yowabu+ mwene Zeruwiya yari yatanguye guharūra, mugabo ntiyarangiza+; ku bw’ivyo Isirayeli irarakarirwa+, maze ico gitigiri nticaja mu nkuru y’ivyo mu misi y’Umwami Dawidi.

25 Uwari ajejwe amatunga y’umwami+ yari Azimaveti mwene Adiyeli. Uwari ajejwe amatunga mu gihugu hagati+, mu bisagara+ no mu bigwati no mu minara yari Yonatani mwene Uziya. 26 Uwari ajejwe abakora igikorwa co mu mirima+, ku bwo kurima ubutaka, yari Eziri mwene Kelubu. 27 Uwari ajejwe imirima y’imizabibu+ yari Shimeyi Umunyarama; uwari ajejwe ivyari mu mirima y’imizabibu ku bw’ibigega vy’umuvinyu yari Zabidi Umunyasifumoti. 28 Uwari ajejwe imirima y’imyelayo n’ibiti vy’imisukomora+ vyari muri Shefela*+ yari Bayali-hanani Umunyagederi; uwari ajejwe ibigega vy’amavuta+ yari Yowasi. 29 Uwari ajejwe amasho yarisha i Sharoni+ yari Shiturayi Umunyasharoni; uwari ajejwe amasho mu biyaya vyo hasi yari Shafati mwene Adulayi. 30 Uwari ajejwe ingamiya+ yari Obili Umwishimayeli+; uwari ajejwe indogobwa z’ingore yari Yehideya Umunyameronoti. 31 Uwari ajejwe imikuku yari Yazizi Umuhaguri. Abo bose bari abakuru b’ibintu vyegukira Umwami Dawidi.

32 Yonatani+, umuhungwabo wa Dawidi, yari umujanama, umugabo w’umunyabwenge+, akaba ari na we yari umunyamabanga; Yehiyele mwene Hakimoni+ yari ajejwe abana b’umwami+. 33 Ahitofeli+ yari umujanama+ w’umwami; Hushayi+ Umwaruki+ yari umugenzi w’umwami+. 34 Mu nyuma za Ahitofeli haza Yehoyada mwene Benaya+ be na Abiyatari+; Yowabu+ yari umukuru w’ingabo z’umwami.

28 Maze Dawidi akoranya abaganwa+ bose ba Isirayeli, abaganwa+ b’imiryango n’abaganwa+ b’imice y’abakorera umwami, n’abakuru b’ibihumbi+ n’abakuru b’amajana+, n’abakuru b’ibintu+ vyose n’ibitungwa+ vy’umwami, n’abakuru b’abahungu biwe+ hamwe n’abakozi bo ku kirimba+ n’abagabo b’abanyenkomezi+, egome, abagabo b’intwari kandi b’abanyenkomezi, abakoraniriza i Yeruzalemu. 2 Maze Dawidi umwami arahaguruka hanyuma avuga ati:

“Nimunyumve, bene wacu kandi bantu banje. Jewe naragize icipfuzo mu mutima wanje+ co kwubakira isandugu y’isezerano rya Yehova inzu y’uburuhukiro, ngo ibe intebe y’ibirenge+ vy’Imana yacu, kandi nari naragize imyiteguro yo kwubaka+. 3 Maze Imana y’ukuri ubwayo imbwira iti: ‘Ntuzokwubakira inzu izina ryanje+, kuko uri umurwanyi kandi ukaba waravishije amaraso+.’ 4 Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli yarantoye rero mu nzu yose ya dawe+ ngo mbe umwami+ wa Isirayeli gushika igihe kitagira urugero; kuko Yuda ari we yatoye ngo abe indongozi+, kandi mu nzu ya Yuda agatora inzu ya dawe+, kandi mu bahungu ba dawe+ akaba ari jewe yashimye+ ngo angire umwami wa Isirayeli yose; 5 mu bahungu banje bose na ho (kuko abahungu Yehova yampaye ari benshi+), yatoye rero Salomo+ umuhungu wanje ngo yicare ku ntebe y’ubwami+ y’ingoma ya Yehova kugira aganze Isirayeli.

6 “Vyongeye, yambwiye ati: ‘Salomo umuhungu wawe ni we azokwubaka inzu yanje+ n’ibigo vyanje; kubera ko namutoye ngo abe umwana wanje+, nanje nzoba se+. 7 Nzoshimangira koko ingoma yiwe+ gushika igihe kitagira urugero niyiyemeza rwose gushitsa amabwirizwa yanje+ n’ingingo z’ubutungane zanje+, nk’uko biri uyu musi.’ 8 Ubu rero, mu maso ya Isirayeli yose, ari ryo shengero rya Yehova+, no mu matwi y’Imana yacu+, nimwitwararike mwongere murondere amabwirizwa yose ya Yehova Imana yanyu, kugira ngo mwigabire iki gihugu ciza+ kandi muze mukirage koko bwa ntoranwa abahungu banyu mu nyuma zanyu gushika igihe kitagira urugero.

9 “Nawe Salomo mwananje, umenye+ Imana ya so kandi uyikorere+ n’umutima ukwiye+ be n’umutima uhimbawe+; kuko Yehova asesa imitima yose+ kandi akamenya impengamiro yose y’ivyiyumviro+. Niwamurondera, azoreka umuronke+; mugabo niwamuheba+, azogushibura ibihe bidahera+. 10 Nubirabe rero, kuko Yehova ubwiwe yagutoye ngo wubake inzu kugira ngo ibe aheranda. Gira umutima rugabo, ukore+.”

11 Nuko Dawidi aha Salomo umuhungu wiwe umugero w’ubwubatsi+ w’ibaraza+, n’uw’amazu y’iryo baraza n’ivyumba vy’ubushinguro+ vyarwo n’ivyumba vyo hejuru+ vyarwo n’ivyumba vyarwo vy’imbere vyijimye n’inzu ya wa murumyo w’impongano*+; 12 egome, umugero w’ubwubatsi w’ikintu cose yari yarahishuriwe biciye ku guhumekerwa+, ku bijanye n’ibigo+ vy’inzu ya Yehova no ku bijanye n’ivyumba vy’uburiro+ vyose vyari irya n’ino, ku bijanye n’amatunga y’inzu y’Imana y’ukuri no ku bijanye n’amatunga y’ibintu vyagizwe vyeranda+; 13 amuha n’ubuyobozi ku bijanye n’imice+ y’abaherezi n’iy’Abalewi no ku bijanye n’umurimo wose w’igikorwa c’inzu ya Yehova no ku bijanye n’ibikoresho vyose vy’igikorwa c’inzu ya Yehova; 14 amubwira n’uburemere bw’inzahabu, inzahabu y’ibikoresho vyose bigenewe ibikorwa bitandukanye, n’uburemere bw’ifeza y’ibikoresho vyose vy’ifeza, ibikoresho+ vyose bigenewe ibikorwa bitandukanye; 15 n’uburemere bw’inzahabu y’ibitereko vy’amatara+ vy’inzahabu n’amatara yavyo y’inzahabu, nk’uko uburemere bw’ibitereko vy’amatara bitandukanye be n’amatara yavyo buri; ku bijanye n’ibitereko vy’amatara vy’ifeza, amubwira uburemere bw’ifeza y’igitereko c’amatara n’amatara yaco, nk’uko igikorwa c’ibitereko vy’amatara bitandukanye kiri; 16 amubwira n’uburemere bw’inzahabu igenewe imeza z’imikate igerekeranye+, ku bw’imeza zitandukanye, n’uburemere bw’ifeza igenewe imeza z’ifeza; 17 n’amakanya n’amabakure+ n’amakarabo vy’inzahabu itavanze, amubwira n’uburemere bw’inzahabu igenewe amabakure+ matomato y’inzahabu, ku bw’amabakure matomato atandukanye, amubwira n’uburemere bw’ifeza igenewe amabakure matomato y’ifeza, ku bw’amabakure matomato atandukanye; 18 n’uburemere bw’inzahabu ityoroye igenewe igicaniro c’imibavu+, amuha n’ishusho y’umukogote+, ari wo bakerubi+ b’inzahabu bo gusanza amababa bagakīngīra isandugu y’isezerano rya Yehova. 19 Nuko Dawidi avuga ati: “Yarampaye mu nyandiko+ ugutahura kwimbitse ku bijanye n’ico kintu cose, bivuye mu kuboko kwa Yehova kwari kuri jewe, egome, ugutahura kwimbitse ku bijanye n’ibikorwa vyose vy’uwo mugero w’ubwubatsi+.”

20 Dawidi abandanya kubwira Salomo umuhungu wiwe ati: “Gira umutima rugabo+ kandi ukomere, ukore. Ntutinye+ canke ngo utekerwe n’ubwoba+, kuko Yehova Imana, Imana yanje, ari kumwe nawe+. Ntazoguta+ canke ngo aguhebe, gushika umurimo wose w’igikorwa c’inzu ya Yehova urangiye. 21 Kandi ng’iyi imice y’abaherezi+ n’iy’Abalewi+ ku bw’igikorwa cose co ku nzu y’Imana y’ukuri; kandi muri ico gikorwa cose uri kumwe n’umuntu wese w’umutima ukunze+ afise ubuhanga bukenewe ku bw’igikorwa+ cose, hamwe n’abaganwa+ be n’abantu bose bazoshitsa ivyo uzovuga vyose.”

29 Nuko Dawidi umwami abwira ishengero+ ryose ati: “Salomo umuhungu wanje, uwo Imana yatoye+, aracari muto+ kandi nta nkomezi aragira, mugabo igikorwa ni kinini; kuko iyo ngoro atari iy’umuntu+, ariko ni iya Yehova Imana. 2 Nk’uko ububasha+ bwanje bwose buri, narateguriye+ inzu y’Imana yanje inzahabu+ ku bw’ibizokorwa mu nzahabu, n’ifeza ku bw’ibizokorwa mw’ifeza, n’umujumpu ku bw’ibizokorwa mu mujumpu, n’ivyuma+ ku bw’ibizokorwa mu vyuma, n’ibiti+ ku bw’ibizokorwa mu biti; amabuye ya onigisi+, n’amabuye azoshirishwaho ubudongo bukomeye, n’utubuye two gushariza, n’amabuye yose y’agaciro, n’amabuye ya alabasitironi* menshi. 3 Vyongeye, kubera ko mpimbarwa+ n’inzu y’Imana yanje, haracariho ibintu bidasanzwe, binyegukira+: inzahabu n’ifeza; ndabitanze ku bw’inzu y’Imana yanje, vyiyongere ku vyo nateguriye iyo nzu nyeranda+ vyose: 4 italanto ibihumbi bitatu z’inzahabu, z’inzahabu y’i Ofiri+, n’italanto ibihumbi indwi z’ifeza ityoroye, ku bwo gupfuka impome za nya mazu; 5 inzahabu ku bw’ibizokorwa mu nzahabu, n’ifeza ku bw’ibizokorwa mw’ifeza no ku bw’igikorwa cose kizokorwa n’ukuboko kw’abahinguzi b’utugenegene. None ni nde yitanze abikunze kugira ngo uyu musi yuzuze ukuboko kwiwe ingabirano igenewe Yehova+?”

6 Maze abaganwa+ b’amazu ya ba sekuru+ n’abaganwa+ b’imiryango ya Isirayeli, n’abakuru b’ibihumbi+ n’ab’amajana+, n’abakuru b’igikorwa+ c’umwami baritanga babikunze. 7 Nuko batanga ku bw’igikorwa c’inzu y’Imana y’ukuri inzahabu iciye italanto ibihumbi bitanu, n’amadariki* ibihumbi cumi, n’ifeza iciye italanto ibihumbi cumi, n’umujumpu uciye italanto ibihumbi cumi n’umunani be n’ivyuma biciye italanto ibihumbi ijana+. 8 Amabuye ayo ari yo yose abantu bari bafise bayatanga ku bw’itunga ry’inzu ya Yehova ryari rijejwe Yehiyele+ Umugerishoni+. 9 Nuko abantu banezerezwa no kubona bariko batanga amashikanwa yo ku bushake, kuko bashikanira Yehova n’umutima ukwiye amashikanwa atangwa ku bushake+; mbere na Dawidi umwami ubwiwe anezerwa akanyamuneza kenshi+.

10 Maze Dawidi ahezagira+ Yehova mu maso y’ishengero ryose+, ati: “Uragahezagirwa+, ewe Yehova Mana ya Isirayeli+ data, kuva igihe kitagira urugero gushika igihe kitagira urugero. 11 Ubukuru+ n’ubushobozi+ n’ubwiza+ n’ukuba agahebuza+ n’iteka+ ni ivyawe, ewe Yehova; kuko ikintu cose mu majuru no mw’isi ari icawe+. Ubwami ni ubwawe+, ewe Yehova, wewe mukuru ari hejuru ya vyose*+. 12 Ubutunzi+ n’ubuninahazwa+ biriho kubera wewe, kandi uganza vyose+; mu kuboko kwawe hari ububasha+ n’ubushobozi+, kandi mu kuboko kwawe hari ubushobozi bwo gutuma bose baba abahambaye+ n’ubwo kubaha inkomezi+. 13 None rero, ewe Mana yacu, turagukengurukiye+ kandi turashemeje+ izina ryawe ryiza+.

14 “Yamara, jewe ndi nde+ kandi abantu banje ni bande, kugira ngo tugumane ububasha bwo gutanga amashikanwa atangwa ku bushake nk’aya+? Kuko vyose biva kuri wewe+, kandi ivyo mu kuboko kwawe bikaba ari vyo tuguhaye. 15 Kuko turi ba kavamahanga imbere yawe tukaba n’inyambukira+ nka ba sogokuruza bacu bose. Imisi yacu kw’isi imeze nk’igitutu+, kandi nta cizigiro kiriho. 16 Ewe Yehova Mana yacu, uwu murengera wose twateguye kugira tukwubakire inzu yitirirwa izina ryawe ryeranda uva mu kuboko kwawe, kandi wose ni uwawe+. 17 Ndazi neza, ewe Mana yanje, yuko usuzuma umutima+, kandi yuko uhimbarwa n’ubugororotsi+. Jewe, mu kugororoka kw’umutima wanje ni ho ntanze ibi bintu vyose ndabikunze; none rero mpimbawe no kubona aba bantu bawe bari hano bagushikanira amashikanwa babikunze. 18 Ewe Yehova Mana ya Aburahamu na Izahaki na Isirayeli ba sogokuruza bacu+, nuzigame ivyo gushika igihe kitagira urugero nk’impengamiro y’ivyiyumviro vy’umutima w’abantu bawe+, werekeze umutima wabo kuri wewe+. 19 Salomo umuhungu wanje na we umuhe umutima ukwiye+ kugira ngo agumye amabwirizwa yawe+ n’ibishingantahe vyawe+ n’ingingo nyobozi zawe+, kugira ngo akore vyose, no kugira ngo yubake iyo ngoro+ nagiriye imyiteguro+.”

20 Hanyuma Dawidi abwira ishengero ryose+ ati: “Nimuhezagire+ rero Yehova Imana yanyu.” Nuko ishengero ryose rihezagira Yehova Imana ya ba sekuruza babo, barunama+, bakubita inkoro hasi+ imbere ya Yehova n’imbere y’umwami. 21 Nuko ku musi ukurikira uwo musi, babandanya gushikanira+ Yehova ibimazi no gushikanira Yehova amashikanwa aturirwa+: bashikana ibimasa igihumbi, impfizi z’intama igihumbi, imyagazi y’intama y’amasuguru igihumbi n’amashikanwa y’ikinyobwa+ yavyo, egome, ibimazi vyinshi ku bwa Isirayeli yose+. 22 Kuri uwo musi babandanya kurîra no kunywera imbere ya Yehova n’umunezero mwinshi+; vyongeye, bimika ubugira kabiri Salomo mwene Dawidi ngo abe umwami+ bongera bamurobanuriza amavuta Yehova ngo abe indongozi+, barobanura na Zadoki+ ngo abe umuherezi. 23 Salomo rero yicara ku ntebe y’ubwami ya Yehova+ ari umwami mu kibanza ca Dawidi se wiwe; araroranirwa+, kandi Abisirayeli bose baramugamburukira. 24 Nayo abaganwa bose+ n’abagabo b’abanyenkomezi+ be n’abahungu b’Umwami Dawidi+, bayobokera Salomo umwami. 25 Yehova abandanya kugira Salomo uwuhambaye bihebuje+ mu maso ya Isirayeli yose, no gushira kuri we iteka rya cami ritari bwabe ku mwami n’umwe yamwitangiye imbere mu kuganza Isirayeli+.

26 Nayo Dawidi mwene Yese, aganza Isirayeli yose+; 27 imisi yaganje Isirayeli yabaye imyaka mirongo ine+. I Heburoni yaganje imyaka indwi+, i Yeruzalemu na ho aganza imyaka mirongo itatu n’itatu+. 28 Amaherezo arapfa yisaziye neza+, ahaze imisi n’ubutunzi+ n’ubuninahazwa+; nuko Salomo umuhungu wiwe atangura kuganza mu kibanza ciwe+. 29 Nayo ivya Dawidi umwami, ivya mbere n’ivya nyuma, ehe vyanditswe mu majambo ya Samweli rubonyi+ no mu majambo ya Natani+ umuhanuzi no mu majambo ya Gadi+ umubonyi, 30 hamwe n’ingoma yiwe yose n’ubushobozi bwiwe be n’ibihe+ vyari vyaraciye kuri we no kuri Isirayeli no ku bwami bwose bw’ibihugu+.
