42 Yehoshafati yabaye umwami afite imyaka 35, amara imyaka 25 ari ku butegetsi i Yerusalemu. Mama we yitwaga Azuba, akaba yari umukobwa wa Shiluhi.

3 Yehova akomeza kubana na Yehoshafati kuko yakurikije urugero* rwa sekuruza Dawidi,+ ntashake Bayali. 4 Yashatse Imana ya papa we,+ akurikiza amategeko yayo kandi ntiyakora nk’ibyo Isirayeli yakoraga.+

18 Nuko Yehoshafati agira ubutunzi bwinshi n’icyubahiro cyinshi,+ ariko agirana na Ahabu isezerano yemera ko umuntu wo mu muryango we ashakana n’uwo mu muryango wa Ahabu.+

4 Yehoshafati akomeza gutura i Yerusalemu kandi yongera kunyura mu baturage be kuva i Beri-sheba kugera mu karere k’imisozi miremire ya Efurayimu,+ kugira ngo abashishikarize kugarukira Yehova Imana ya ba sekuruza.+

 8 Asa yabyaye Yehoshafati.+

Yehoshafati yabyaye Yehoramu.+

Yehoramu yabyaye Uziya.
