31 Nuko abwira Yerobowamu ati:

“Fata ibi bitambaro 10, kuko Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli yavuze ati: ‘ngiye kwambura Salomo ubwami kandi nzaguha imiryango 10 uyitegeke.+

32 Ku itariki ya 15 z’ukwezi kwa 8, Yerobowamu akoresha umunsi mukuru umeze nk’uwaberaga mu Buyuda.+ Atambira ibitambo ibimasa bibiri yari yarakoze ku gicaniro yari yubatse i Beteli+ kandi aho i Beteli ahashyira abatambyi bo gukorera muri ya mazu yo gusengeramo yari yarubatse ahantu hirengeye.

10 Ni yo mpamvu ngiye guteza ibyago umuryango wa Yerobowamu, nkarimbura umuntu wese w’igitsina gabo* wo mu muryango we, ndetse n’udafite kirengera n’ufite intege nke kurusha abandi muri Isirayeli. Nzakuraho umuryango wa Yerobowamu+ nk’uko umuntu akura ahantu amase akayamaraho.

14 Abalewi basize inzuri* baragiragamo amatungo yabo, basiga n’amasambu yabo+ baza mu Buyuda n’i Yerusalemu, kuko Yerobowamu n’abahungu be bari barabirukanye kugira ngo badakomeza gukorera Yehova ari abatambyi.+

3 Abiya yagiye ku rugamba ari kumwe n’abasirikare b’abanyambaraga batojwe*+ 400.000. Yerobowamu yari yamuteye ari kumwe n’abasirikare b’abanyambaraga batojwe* 800.000.

20 Yerobowamu ntiyongeye kugira imbaraga igihe cyose Abiya yategekaga. Hanyuma Yehova aramuhana, nuko arapfa.+
