2 Abantu baraza babwira Yehoshafati bati: “Utewe n’abantu benshi cyane baturutse mu karere k’inyanja,* muri Edomu.+ Dore bageze i Hasasoni-tamari, ari ho muri Eni-gedi.”+ 3 Yehoshafati abyumvise agira ubwoba, yiyemeza gushaka Yehova.+ Nuko atangaza ko mu Buyuda hose abantu bigomwa kurya no kunywa.*

15 Esiteri na we asubiza Moridekayi ati: 16 “Genda uhurize hamwe Abayahudi bose bari i Shushani mwigomwe+ kurya no kunywa munsabira, muzamare iminsi itatu nta cyo murya nta n’icyo munywa+ ku manywa na nijoro. Nanjye n’abakobwa bankorera tuzabigenza dutyo. Hanyuma nzajya kureba umwami nubwo bitemewe kandi niba ngomba gupfa, nzapfe.”
