31 Hanyuma nzana abatware b’Abayuda bahagarara hejuru y’urukuta. Nanone nshyiraho korari ebyiri nini z’abaririmbyi baririmba indirimbo zo gushimira Imana bagendagenda. Korari imwe inyura mu ruhande rw’iburyo hejuru y’urukuta* igana ku Irembo Banyuzamo Imyanda yo Gutwika.+ 32 Hoshaya na kimwe cya kabiri cy’abatware b’i Buyuda barabakurikira, 33 bari kumwe na Azariya, Ezira, Meshulamu, 34 Yuda, Benyamini, Shemaya na Yeremiya. 35 Bari kumwe n’abahungu b’abatambyi bari bafite impanda,*+ harimo Zekariya umuhungu wa Yonatani, umuhungu wa Shemaya, umuhungu wa Mataniya, umuhungu wa Mikaya, umuhungu wa Zakuri, umuhungu wa Asafu,+ 36 n’abavandimwe be, ari bo Shemaya, Azareli, Milalayi, Gilalayi, Mayi, Netaneli, Yuda na Hanani, bafite ibikoresho by’umuziki bya Dawidi+ umuntu w’Imana y’ukuri kandi umwanditsi Ezira+ yabagendaga imbere. 37 Banyura hejuru y’Irembo ry’Iriba*+ barakomeza banyura hafi ya esikariye*+ zijya mu Mujyi wa Dawidi,+ banyura ku rukuta ruzamuka ruri hejuru y’Inzu ya Dawidi maze bagera ku Irembo ry’Amazi+ iburasirazuba.

38 Indi korari y’abaririmbyi yaririmbaga indirimbo zo gushimira Imana inyura ku rundi ruhande. Nanjye ndayikurikira ndi kumwe n’abantu bangana na kimwe cya kabiri, tugenda hejuru y’urukuta tunyura hejuru y’Umunara w’Ifuru+ tugera ku Rukuta Rugari.+ 39 Turakomeza tunyura hejuru y’Irembo rya Efurayimu,+ dukomereza ku Irembo ry’Umujyi wa Kera+ maze tugera ku Irembo ry’Amafi.*+ Nanone tunyura ku Munara wa Hananeli+ no ku Munara wa Meya, tugera no ku Irembo ry’Intama.*+ Nuko iyo korari y’abaririmbyi igeze ku Irembo ry’Abarinzi, turahagarara.

43 Nuko kuri uwo munsi batamba ibitambo byinshi kandi baranezerwa,+ kuko Imana y’ukuri ari yo yari yatumye bagira ibyishimo byinshi. Abagore n’abana na bo baranezerewe+ ku buryo amajwi y’ibyishimo y’abari i Yerusalemu yumvikaniraga kure.+

44 Nanone kuri uwo munsi hari abagabo bahawe inshingano yo kurinda aho+ babikaga amaturo,+ imyaka yeze mbere+ n’ibya cumi.+ Bagombaga gukusanya imyaka yabaga yeze mu mirima ikikije imijyi, iyo Amategeko yageneraga+ abatambyi n’Abalewi.+ Abaturage b’i Buyuda barishimye cyane kubera ko abatambyi n’Abalewi bakoraga imirimo. 45 Nuko batangira gukora imirimo Imana yabo yabahaye, bakora n’imirimo yo kweza ibintu n’abantu.

Nanone batangaga ibyabaga bigenewe Abalewi,+ Abalewi na bo bagatanga ibyabaga bigenewe abakomoka kuri Aroni.
