Kirundi (Rundi) - 2nd Maccabees

IKIGABANE CA 1 1Ba bene wacu, Abayuda baba i Yeruzalemu no mu gihugu c'i Yudaya, ni mupfurize+ abavukanyi, Abayuda bo mu Misiri bose bafise amagara meza n'amahoro+.

2 Imana ibabe inyembabazi+, kandi wibuke isezerano yasezeranye na Aburahamu+ na Izahaki na Yakobo, abasavyi bayo b'abizigirwa+.

3 Kandi umuhe umutima wose wo kumukorera+, no gukora ukugomba kwiwe+, n'umutima ukunze+.

4Kandi nimwugururire imitima yanyu mw'itegeko ryiwe n'amabwirizwa yayo, ibarungikire amahoro.

5 Kandi niwumve amasengesho yawe+, kandi utegerezwa kuba uri kumwe nawe+,Kandi ntiwihevye mu gihe c'amarushwa+.

6 Ubu rero turagusengera+.

7 Vyongeye, igihe Demetiriyo yatangura kuganza+, mu mwaka w'amajana atatu n'icenda, twebwe Abayuda twabandikiye mu mpera z'ivyago+ yadushikiye muri iyo myaka, kuva igihe Yasoni n'ishirahamwe ryiwe bagarariza bava mu gihugu ceranda n'ubwami+, 8 Maze dukika iryo jwi+ maze riserura amaraso+ ata co ritagira ikimazi+; hanyuma dutakambira Yehova, turaryumva+. Vyongeye, twarashikanira ibimazi n'ifu y'intete+ be n'ifu y'intete+ be n'amatara, dutunganya imikate.'

9 Kandi ubu murabona yuko muguma mu musi mukuru w'insago mu kwezi kwa Kayileu+.

10 Mu mwaka amajana ane n'umunani, abantu bari i Yeruzalemu n'i Yudaya+ n'inama nyobozi+ na Yuda batuma kuramutsa Aristobuko, shebuja wa Ptolemeyo+ akaba yari uwo mu baherezankuka barobanuwe be n'Abayuda bari mu Misiri+.

11 Nk'uko Imana yaturokoye mu makuba akomeye+, turamushimira cane+ nk'uko twarwanye n'umwami+.

12 Kuko abahindira hanze abarwanira mu gisagara ceranda+.

13 Kuko igihe uwo mugaba yaja mu Buperesi+, n'inteko za gisirikare ziri kumwe na we hamwe n'abantu basa n'abadashobora kubora+, barishwe mu rusengero rwa Nayineya kubera ubuhendanyi bw'abaherezi ba Naneya+.

14 Kuko Antiyokusi, nk'aho yomurongora, aza aho hantu hamwe n'abagenzi biwe, kugira ngo baronke amahera mw'izina ry'amahera+.

15 Maze abaherezi b'i Nayineya batangura kujana n'ishirahamwe ritoyi mu kompasi y'urusengero, baca baragara urusengero igihe Antiyokiya yinjiriye.

16 Bazungukira urugi rw'ibisenge+, baterera amabuye nk'imituragaro, bayikubita hasi uwo mu kapiteni, bayikubita mu cuma, babaca imitwe, bayiterera ku bari badafise+.

17 Imana yacu iragahezagirwa muri vyose+,Umwe yarokoye abatubaha Imana+.

18Ni co gituma ubu dufitiye umugambi wo kwoza urusengero ku musi ugira gatanu na mirongo ibiri w'ukwezi kwa Kayisa, twariyumviriye yuko ari ngombwa ngo tumusizeko, kugira ngo namwe muwugume, nk'umusi mukuru w'amahema, n'umuriro twahawe igihe Neemias yashika ishikanwa rishikanira ibimazi. Yahavuye atangura kwubaka urusengero n'igicaniro.

19 Kuko igihe ba sogokuruza bacu bajanwa mu Buperesi+, abaherezi b'abaherezi bari batonzeko umuriro+ w'igicaniro, bakawunyegeza mu kibanza c'uburuhukiro bw'amazi+ ata

mazi, aho bari bavyigumije ata mazi, ku buryo ico kibanza cari kitazwi n'abantu bose+.

20 Inyuma y'imyaka myinshi iheze, aho vyahimbaye Imana, itumwe n'umwami w'Ubuperesi+, irungika ku bw'ibiboneka+ vy'abo baherezi bari bayinyegeje mu muriro+; mugabo batubwira ko ata muriro babonye, atari amazi menshi+.

21 Aca ategeka ko bayikwegakwegera+ no kuyizana+.

Hanyuma, igihe ivyo bimazi vyatangwa, Neemia aca ategeka abaherezi ngo bamane inkwi, n'ivyari vyashizweho n'amazi.

22 Nuko ivyo bishitse, maze igihe kirashika, izuba rikayangana+, iryo ryari rinyegejwe muri nya gicu, haba umuriro mwinshi, ku buryo umuntu wese atangazwa+.

23 Maze abaherezi bakora igisabisho igihe inkuka yariko irasengana+, mvuga nti: "Abaherezi n'abasigaye bose, Yonatani atangura, abandi na bo bishura ahonto+ nk'uko na Neemiasi yabigenjeje+ . . .

24Kandi igisabisho kija inyuma y'ivyo, Ewe Mukama, Mana, Muremyi w'ibintu vyose, adatinya, afise ububasha, umunyakigongwe, umunyakigongwe, nyen'imbabazi, we Mwami w'ikinege, nyen'imbabazi, nyen'imbabazi, 25 Uwo ni we wenyene yatanze mu bintu vyose, umwe rugororotse, mushoboravyose+ no gushika igihe kitagira urugero+, wewe warokoye Isirayeli mu magorwa yose+, maze ugahitamwo ba se+, ukabeza+.

26 Nimwakire ikimazi c'abantu bawe bose b'Abisirayeli, kandi ugume uzigama umugabane wawe bwite+, wongere uyeze+.

27 Nimukoranirize hamwe abashwiragiye+, murokore abaja gukorera mu bushuhe+, murabe abasuzuguwe kandi basuzuguwe+, kandi uwuserēra+ amenye ko ari wewe Mana yacu+.

28Muhana abaduhayagiza+,N'ubwishime buraduhenda+.

29 Subira gutera abantu bawe mu kibanza cawe ceranda+, nk'uko Musa yabivuze+.

30 Kandi abaherezi bararirimba amazaburi y'ugukenguruka+.

31 Igihe inkuka yatangwa, Neemia itegeka amazi yari asigaye aseswa kuri rya mabuye ahambaye+.

32 Ivyo bishitse, haca haba umuriro+; mugabo wa muco wariko urasega uvuye ku gicaniro.

33 Nuko ivyo bimenyekana, umwami w'Ubuperesi+ babwira umwami w'Ubuperesi yuko aho abaherezi bari bajanye bari bahishije umuriro, haboneka amazi, kandi ko nemeyi+ yari yatyoroye ivyo bimazi.

34 Maze umwami atangura gucogoza ico kibanza, acibera aherako, ahejeje kucidogera ico kintu.

35 Maze nya mwami yakira ingabirano nyinshi+ yongera ashikanira abo yashaka gushikira+.

36 Mugabo Nemeyi+, ico kintu Nafuta+, ico kikaba ari ikintu c'uguhumanurwa+, mugabo abantu benshi bavyita Nefi+.

IKIGABANE CA 2 1Ubuhanuzi buboneka kandi mu nyandiko, yuko Umuhanuzi Jeremy yategetse abariko barajanwa gufata umuriro, nk'uko vyasobanurwa ngo: 2 Ingene uwo muhanuzi amaze kubaha itegeko+ abagiriza kutazokwibagira amabwirizwa ya Yehova+ be n'uko badakwiye kwiyagiriza mu bwenge bwabo+, babonye

ibishusho vy'ifeza n'inzahabu, n'ibishusho vyabo vy'ifeza n'inzahabu+.

3Kandi hamwe n'ayandi majambo nk'ayo yabaremeje, kugira ngo itegeko ntirive mu mitima yabo.

4Kandi muri iyo nyandiko nyene, uwo muhanuzi yariko araburirwa ku Mana, ategeka itaberenakulo n'isandugu ngo bajana na we, nk'uko yaduga ku musozi, aho Musa yariko araduga, abona iragi ry'Imana.

5 Maze Jeremy ashitse, asanga isenga ry'ikidodo c'ikidodo c'ikidodo, ari ho yashira itaberenakulo n'isandugu n'igicaniro c'imibavu, aca ahagarika umuryango.

6Kandi bamwe mu bamukurikiye baza ku kimenyetso c'inzira, mugabo ntibashoboye kuhabona.

7 Mugabo Jeremy abibonye, arabagiriza ati: "Ahantu nk'ico, ntihazomenyekana gushika igihe Imana izosubira gukoraniriza hamwe abantu bayo, ibagirire ikigongwe."

8 Ivyo ni vyo Yehova azobibabwira+, kandi ubuninahazwa bwa Yehova buzoca buboneka, n'igicu na co nk'uko cari cabuwe munsi ya Musa+ be n'igihe Salomo yashaka ko ico kibanza co kwezwa+.

9 Vyongeye, vyaratangajwe ko ari inkerebutsi ashikanwa inkuka y'ukwiyegura+, be n'uko urusengero rwarangira+.

10 Maze, nk'uko Musa yasenze Yehova, umuriro umanuka uvuye mw'ijuru, ukarigata ibimazi; ni ko salomo yasenze, umuriro umanuka uvuye mw'ijuru, uturira amashikanwa aturirwa+.

11 Maze Musa avuga ati: "Kubera ko ishikanwa ry'igicumuro ridakwiye kuribwa, ryaca rizima."

12 Nuko Salomo abandanya kuzigama iyo misi umunani.

13 Ivyo na vyo nyene vyaravuzwe mu vyanditswe vy'indome n'ivyibu vya Neemia; Kuko Uwo umuntu naho yoba ahenye ubutumwa, Imana ya Dawidi, intumwa n'abahanuzi, abahanuzi n'abavugishwa n'Imana, abavugishwa n'Imana, dawidi, n'abandi...

14 Muri ubwo buryo nyene, Yuda akoraniriza hamwe ivyo bintu vyose vyatakaye kubera intambara twari dufise, maze bagumana natwe+.

15Ni co gituma nimba mukenye, murungike bamwe ngo babazanire.'

16Ni co gituma tugiye guhimbaza iyo pasika, twabandikiye, kandi muzokora neza, ni mwakomeza iyo misi.

17 Turizigiye kandi yuko Imana yakijije abantu bayo bose+ ikabaha intoranwa yose+ n'ubwami+ n'ubuherezi+ be n'ahantu heranda+.

18Nk'uko yabisezeranye mu vyagezwe, vuba azotugirira ikigongwe, kandi dukoranirize hamwe tuve mu gihugu cose munsi y'ijuru, mu kibanza ceranda, kuko yadukijije ivyago bikomeye, ahumanuye ico kibanza.

19 Nayo ku bijanye na Yuda Makabe+ be n'abavukanyi biwe n'ukwezwa kw'urusengero runini, be n'ukwegura kw'igicaniro.

20 Intambara na Antiyokiya Epifani+, na Ewpatori+ umuhungu wiwe.

21Kandi ibimenyetso biboneswe vyavuye mw'ijuru bija ku bantu biyerekana ubuninahazwa bwabo ku bw'idini ry'Abayuda, ku buryo abantu bakeyi gusa, batsinda igihugu cose, hanyuma barondera isinzi ry'abantu b'ingumba.

22 Maze yongera kugarura urusengero rwa rurangiranwa+ kw'isi yose+ maze rurekura nya gisagara+, 33 maze yihanganira ivyagezwe vyamanukanye+, Yehova agirira ubuntu bwuzuye imbabazi+.

23Ndavuga yuko ivyo vyose vyashizweho na Jason w'i Sireni mu bitabu bitanu, tuzobibamenyesha mu gitabu kimwe.

24 Kuko biyumviriye igitigiri kitagira iherezo+ be n'ingorane baba bafise co kuraba inkuru z'ivyabaye+ ku buryo butandukanye+, 25 Twama twiyubara kugira ngo ababisoma bahimbarwe, kandi ngo abazokwibukwa bibuke bazotevya+, kandi kugira ngo amaboko yiwe aje aronke inyungu+.

26 Ku bw'ivyo, twebwe twakiriye ico gikorwa c'umubabaro kibabaza+, ntivyari vyoroshe, ahubwo cari ikintu c'ugutsimbata n'ukubona+.

27Kandi nk'uko atoroherwa gutegura inzimano y'inzimano, akarondera akarusho k'abandi; yamara tuzokwama tunezerewe muri benshi, tuzokwifatanya na we aka kanyamunwa.

28 Nuhe umuntu wese ukwiyuha, kandi ukurikize amategeko y'uguhembereza+.

29 Nka kurya nyene umwubatsi w'inzu nshasha ategerezwa kwitwararika inyubakwa yose+; Uwushaka kuvyifatamwo neza, ategerezwa kuvyifatamwo neza, ategerezwa kuvyitondera, mbere n'uko nibaza ko ari kumwe natwe.

30 Kugira ngo muhagarare ku kintu cose+, kandi mugume muri vyinshi, kandi kugira ngo umuntu wese agume ashashaye kumenya vy'ukuri, ni ivy'uwa mbere muri iyo nkuru.+ 31Ariko kugira ngo umuntu akoreshe ubuhumane no kwirinda igikorwa kinini, ni we akwiye guhabwa uwubihawe.

32 Ng'aho rero tuzoba dutanguye iyi nkuru: tuwongerako vyinshi ku vyo vyavuzwe, yuko ari ikintu c'ubupfu co gukora prologue iramba, no kuba ngufi muri kahise ubwaco.

IKIGABANE CA 3 1 Ico gisagara ceranda+ igihe kibamwo amahoro yose+, kandi amategeko yaragumye amera neza cane+ kubera ukwihebera Imana kwa Onya umuherezi mukuru+ be n'urwanko rwiwe rw'ububisha+.

2 Vyarashitse mbere n'abami ubwabo batangura gutera iteka ico kibanza+, bongera bashira urusengero n'ingabirano zabo nziza kuruta izindi+.

3 Nk'uko seleuko+ wo muri Aziya yihereza amahera y'ibimazi vyiwe bwite, atari amahera yose y'igikorwa c'ibimazi.

4 Ariko umwe yitwa Simoni wo mu muryango wa Benyamini, umwe yagizwe buramatari w'urusengero, agwa hasi ari kumwe n'umuherezi mukuru ku bijanye n'umuvurungano muri ico gisagara.

5Kandi atashoboye gutsinda Oni, amushikirisha Apoloniyo mwene Thrasi, ico gihe akaba yari buramatari wa Celosiria na Phenice.

6 Amubwira rero yuko ishikaniro ry'i Yeruzalemu ryari ryuzuye amahera atagira igitigiri c'amahera atagira igitigiri c'amahera, ku buryo ubutunzi bwabo butajanye n'ivyo bimazi bitagira igitigiri, kandi ko bishoboka kuzana bose mu kuboko kw'umwami+.

7 Maze Apoloni+ ashitse ku mwami, amutumako amahera yari yabwiwe, umwami atora Helidoru+ umugurano wiwe w'ibintu vy'agaciro+, amutumako ibwirizwa ryo kumuzanira itunga ry'itunga ry'abantu.+

8 Helidoru aca afata urugendo rwiwe. 12 Kubera ko yehova yari yaragendeye ibisagara vya Celosyria na Phenice, mugabo mu vy'ukuri kugira ngo ashitse umugambi w'umwami.

9Ashitse i Yerusalemu, amwakirana ubuntu n'ubuntu ku muherezi mukuru w'ico gisagara, amwiganira ico ayo mahera yatanzwe, amenyesha iyo aza, amubaza nimba koko ivyo ari vyo.

10 Maze umuherezi mukuru amubwira yuko amahera yashizwe ku bwo gutabara abapfakazi n'abana batagira se+.

11 Kandi bamwe muri bo ni abo kwa Hircano mwene Tobiya+ umuntu w'agaciro gakomeye+, mugabo si nk'uko uwo munyakibi Simoni yari yarabesheye+; ingero yose yari italanto amajana ane z'ifeza, n'inzahabu amajana abiri.

12Kandi ko bidashoboka rwose ko ayo mabi yokorwa, yaba yaragikoreye ubweranda bw'aho hantu, n'ubuninahazwa bw'urusengero, buninahazwa mw'isi yose.

13 Mugabo Heliodoru+, kubera ibwirizwa ry'umwami yari yahawe, avuga ati: "Hategerezwa kujanwa mu bubiko bw'itunga ryose ry'umwami+.

14 Nuko ku musi yashinze, ngo ashike ku kintu, kugira ngo ashikirire; kuko mu gisagara cose ata mubabaro wariho.

15 Mugabo abaherezi+ barishira imbere y'igicaniro mu bisata vyabo vy'abaherezi babo+, bahamagaza mw'ijuru, umwe yaguma ashirako itegeko rijanye n'ibintu yahawe, kugira ngo babungabungwe ata ngorane+ ku bw'ivyo bari baranguye+.

16 Maze umuherezi mukuru yari yihweje mu maso, yopfuma akomeretsa umutima wiwe+; kuko ibara ryiwe be n'ukuntu ibara ryiwe ryahindutse, ryavuze umubabaro w'umuzirikanyi wiwe+ w'umubabaro+ w'imbere.

17 Kuko uwo muntu yasambijwe n'ubwoba n'ubwoba n'ubwoba bw'umubiri+, ku buryo bibonekera abamwitegereza, ukuntu umubabaro yari afise ubu mu mutima wiwe+.

18 Abandi na bo bariruka bava mu mazu yabo, baja mu kwinginga kw'isinzi ry'abantu, kuko aho hantu hari hameze nk'agakengerwe+.

19 Kandi nya bagore, bari bafise amagunira munsi y'amabere yabo+, bija mu mabarabara+ n'abigeme b'isugi bari biruka, bamwe baja ku marembo, abandi na bo baravye mu madirisha.

20 Kandi bose, bagumye amaboko yabo+ bagana mw'ijuru, baratakamba+.

21 Ico gihe vyotuma umuntu abona isinzi ry'abantu b'uburyo bwose rikoroka, be n'ugutinya umuherezi mukuru kuba ari mu mubabaro nk'uwo+.

22 Hanyuma batangura guhamagarira Umukama Mushoboravyose ngo agume mu mutekano+ ku bintu vyakozwe mu mutekano+ be n'ivy'abizigirwa+.

23 Ariko Heliodoru yaciye agandagurwa+.

24Kandi igihe yari ng'aho, ari kumwe n'abarinzi biwe ku bijanye n'ikigega c'ikigega c'impongano+ n'Umwami w'ibiremwa vy'impwemu be n'Umukuru w'ububasha bwose, bituma abariko bari kumwe na we bose batangazwa n'ububasha bw'Imana, bagasa n'abadendebukiwe n'ubwoba bwinshi.

25 Kuko babonekera ifarasi, ari n'uwuyigendesha iteye ubwoba+ kandi yasasa n'igipfukisho kibereye cane, yirukana cane i Helidoru+ n'umutamana wiwe w'inzahabu, kandi biboneka ko uwuyicaye kuri ya farasi yari afise inzahabu zikwiye.

26Kandi n'abandi basore babiri babonekera imbere yiwe, baboneka nk'inkomezi z'agahebuza, bafise ubwiza bwiza, n'abigeme b'impuzu, bari bahagaze impande zose.

Aramuhosharyosha, akamuha n'ibisebe vyinshi.

27 Heliodoru+ yikubita hasi bukwi na bukwi, asa n'uwurimwo umwiza mwinshi; mugabo abari kumwe na we baramudugana, bamushira mu ncama.

28 Nuko ajana n'umukomoshi mwinshi+ be n'abarinzi biwe bose mu kigega c'i 29 Kuko yashirwa mu kuboko kw'Imana+, kandi adashira icizigiro cose c'ubuzima ata cizigiro c'ubuzima+.

30 Mugabo bashemeza Yehova, umwe yari yarateye iteka ikibanza ciwe bwite ku gitangaro+, ku bw'urusengero+.

Ivyo kwari ukugira ubwoba n'amarushwa, igihe Umukama Mushoboravyose yerekanwa, yuzuye akanyamuneza n'akanyamuneza.

31 Maze bamwe mu bagenzi b'i Heliodoru+ basenga Onya, kugira ngo asabe Musumbavyose ngo amuhe ubuzima bwiwe+, umwe yiteguriye guheba impwemu+.

32 Nuko umuherezi mukuru, akeka ko umwami yohava yiyumvira nabi yuko Abayuda bamwebamwe bahevye i Heliodoru+, ashikana ikimazi ku bw'amagara y'umuntu+.

33 Maze umuherezi mukuru atangura gukora impongano+, nya misore nyene yari yambaye ya mpuzu, ihagarara iruhande ya Heliodoru+, ivuga iti: "Nimukengurukire Onya umuherezi mukuru, nk'uko yehova aguha ubuzima+.

34Kandi mukabona ko wahujwe ukava mw'ijuru, wamenyesheje abantu bose ububasha bw'Imana. Bamaze kuvuga ayo majambo, ntibasubiye kuboneka+.

35 Heliodoru amaze gushikanira Umukama ikimazi+, yongera asezerana indagano nyinshi+ ku bijanye n'abarokoye ubuzima bwiwe+ yongera aramutsa Oniya, agarukana n'ingabo ziwe ku mwami+.

36 Maze ashingira intahe abantu bose ibikorwa vy'Imana ihambaye yari yabonye n'amaso yiwe+.

37 Maze umwami Heliyorusi+ umwami ashobora kuba umuntu abereye, kugira ngo asubire kurungika i Yeruzalemu, avuga ati: 38 Niwaba ufise umwansi+ canke umugurano, umurungike+ umurungike, umuhe ikaze, niyahunga ubuzima bwiwe+; kuko aha hantu ata co wokekeranya+.

Ariko rero, hariho ububasha bw'Imana buhambaye.

39 Kuko aba mw'ijuru ari ijisho ryiwe kuri ako karere, akaburwanira+. Akubita agashi, abacamwo, abacamwo.

40 Ibintu vyerekeye Heliodoru+ n'ivy'ugushikanwa kw'ishikaniro ry'amashikanwa, bikoroka kuri ubwo buryo+.

IKIGABANE CA 4 1 Ubu rero, Simoni+ ni we twahora tudohoka+, kuko yari umugurano w'amahera+ n'igihugu ciwe, akanka kwa Oniniya+, nk'aho yoba yaratinye Helidoru+ kandi akaba umukozi w'ivyo bintu vy'ububisha+.

2Ni co gituma agira umutima rugabo wo kumwita umugambanyi, yari akwiye kuba mwiza mu gisagara, agwiza itunga ry'igihugu ciwe, kandi yari umunyamwete w'ivyagezwe.

3 Mugabo igihe urwanko rwabo rwashika+ ku buryo umwe mu bano banonywe n'umwe mu bahari+ ba Simoni bariko baragandagurwa+.

4 Onisiya abona akaga gakomeye k'iryo rari+ be n'uko Apoloni+ ari we buramatari wa Celosya+ na Phenice, arashangasa+, yongerako ububisha bwa Simoni+.

5 Nuko aragenda aho umwami atari kugira ngo abe umuhingi w'abo mu gihugu ciwe+, ahubwo arondera iciza ca bose, haba ku mugaragaro no mu mwiherero+.

6 Kuko yabonye ko bidashoboka ko leta iguma icereje+, simoni na we arekera ubupfu bwiwe+, kiretse umwami atabiravyeko+.

7Ariko Selewoko amaze gupfa, antiyokuyo yitwa Epifani, afata ubwami, Yasheni mwene Onya, akora igikorwa co kuba umuherezankuka mukuru.

8 Ndasezerana imbere y'umwami biciye kw'italanto amajana atatu na mirongo itatu na zitanu z'ifeza+, be n'iy'ikindi cinjiza italanto mirongo umunani+.

9 Nayo ku bijanye n'ivyo, asezerana kuzomuha iyindi ijana na mirongo itanu+, nimba yoronka uruhusha rwo kumushingira ikibanza co kwinonora imitsi+, no kumenyereza urwaruka mu buryo bw'ubushuhe+ no kubandikira i Yeruzalemu biciye kw'izina ry'Abanya antiyokiya+.

10 Umwami amaze gutanga, maze atangura kwinjira mu kuboko kwiwe itegeko, ajana ihanga ryiwe mu buryo bw'ikigiriki+.

11 N'agateka ka gisirikare kahabwa Abayuda ku bw'ubutoni budasanzwe biciye kuri Yohani se wa Ewuweli, umwe yagiye guserukira i Roma ku bw'ugutabara+; Maze agashira mu minwe y'intwaro yari ihuje n'amategeko, yaciye ashiraho imigenzo mishasha ijanye n'amategeko ajanye n'amategeko: 12 Kuko yubaka akamwemwe gahimbaye munsi y'umunara ubwayo+, hanyuma azana abakuru b'imisore batwarwa na we, abashirako impuzu y'umujumbu.

13 Ukwo ni ko vyari ivyambarwa vy'Abagiriki+, n'ukugwira kw'ingeso z'agahebuza+, biciye ku buhemu bwa Yani+, wa wundi utubaha Imana, kandi nta muherezi mukuru+.

14 Ko abaherezi batakigira umutima rugabo wo gukorera ku gicaniro+, mugabo bagasuzugura urusengero+ no kwirengagiza ibimazi+, bihutira gusangira n'imperezwa zitemewe n'amategeko mu kibanza c'imyimenyerezo+, urukino rw'i Discus rwahamagaje+.

15Ntihasirwe n'iteka rya ba sekuruza babo, ahubwo bivana n'ubuninahazwa bw'Abagiriki kuruta abandi bose.

16 Ku bw'ivyo ivyago bikomeye vyaje kuri bo, kuko bari bafise abansi babo n'abarovyi babo, bagenza nk'uko bari bavyipfuje rwose, kandi abo bari vyipfuza ko bamera nk'abandi muri vyose+.

17 Kuko atari umuco wo gukora ububisha mu kugarariza amategeko y'Imana+, mugabo igihe kizokurikira kizovuga ivyo+.

18Kandi igihe urukino rwakoreshwa buri mwaka rw'ukwizera, rwari rwagumye i Tirusi, umwami yari ahari.

19 Uwo jason w'umutima rugabo atuma intumwa zidasanzwe+ zivuye i Yeruzalemu zari antiyokiya+, ngo zitware amashikanwa amajana atatu y'ifeza ku bw'ikimazi ca Hercules, ivyo mbere n'abibumbiramwo ivyiyumviro ntibibereye gutanga ishikanwa, kuko atari vyiza, ahubwo bironkere n'ibindi birego+.

20 Ayo mahera rero ku bijanye n'uwurungitse, yagenywe ku nkuka ya Herculesi+; Ariko kubera izo ntungane, zari zifise akazi ko kugwiza ibinure.

21 Igihe Apoloni+ mwene Menestheyo ajanwa mu Misiri ku bw'ukwimikwa kw'umwami Ptolemeyo Fileometori, antiyokusi, atahura ko adakwiye kumugirira nabi+ ku

bijanye n'umutekano wiwe bwite, ari na ho yashitse i Yopa no kuva i Yeruzalemu+.

22 Aho yakiranywe iteka+ na Yason+ no muri ico gisagara, bamuzanira ikimuri+ n'akamo k'akamo k'akamo gakomeye,+ kandi mu nyuma bajana n'abagendanyi biwe i Phenice+.

23 Inyuma y'imyaka itatu, Yasheni atuma kwa Menezi+ mwene wabo na Simoni, ngo ahe umwami amahera, hanyuma amwishire mu bwenge ibintu bimwebimwe vya nkenerwa.

24 Mugabo bamujana imbere y'umwami+, igihe yatangura kumwerekana ku bw'ubuninahazwa bw'ububasha bwiwe+, aronka ubuherezi+, ashikana ishikanwa rirenze italanto amajana atatu z'ifeza+.

25 Nuko azana rero inganji y'umwami+ ata co azaniye umuherezi mukuru+, mugabo afise ubushangashirwe bw'umunyagitugu+, be n'ubushangashirwe bw'igikoko c'inkazi+.

26 Hanyuma Yasa, umwe yatikije mwene wabo bwite, ahava ahungishwa n'uwundi, abwirizwa guhungira mu gihugu c'Abahamoni.

27 Nuko Meneriyo aronka ubukuru; mugabo ku mahera yari yarasezeraniye umwami, ntiyabitegetse neza+, mugabo Sotirati umutware w'inganji+ yari yabisavye+.

28 Kuko ari we yasendeye ibigirankana ry'imigenzo+. Abo bagabo babiri baciye bahamagarwa imbere y'umwami.

29 Mugabo Menelaus asiga mwene wabo Lysimako mu kibanza ciwe c'ubusaserdoti+; Nuko Sostrati asiga Crates, umukuru w'Abanyaspresi.

30 Igihe ivyo bintu vyariko birakora, bo muri Tarususi na Mallo+ baravyita, kuko babahaye incoreke y'umwami yitwa Antiyokiya.

31 Maze umwami arihuta cane guhoza ibintu, asiga Anderoniko, umugabo aganza ku bw'icegera ciwe+.

32 Mugabo Meneriyo, avuga ko yaronse umwanya mwiza, yiba ibikoresho vy'inzahabu bimwe vy'inzahabu mu rusengero, bimwe muri vyo abihereza Androniko, bamwe baramugurisha i Tikiru no mu bisagara bikikije.

33 Maze Onisiya amenya ko ata co akekeranya, aramwerekana+ maze yisubirira mu kibanza ceranda i Dafune, ico kikaba kiri muri Antiyokiya.

34Ariko Menelaus, afata Androniko, arasenga, ajana Onisiya mu maboko yiwe. Uwuzimiza i Oniniya mu buhendanyi, akamuha ikiganza c'ukuryo kwiwe mu ndahiro.

N'aho amwikeka, aramwikeka, ariko aramwipfusha ngo ave mu Ngoro y'Ubuturo; yari yugararije ata butungane.

35Kuko atari Abayuda gusa, ariko n'ayandi mahanga menshi, barashavuye cane, batuntujwe cane n'ubwicanyi bw'akarenganyo bw'uwo muntu.

36 Maze igihe umwami yagaruka avuye mu bibanza vy'i Silisiya, Abayuda bari muri ico gisagara be n'Abagiriki bamwebamwe mu Bagiriki batanguye kwidodombera, kuko Oni yarishwe ata mvo.+ 37 Nuko Antiyokusi atangura ikigongwe, atangura ikigongwe, ararira kubera inyifato y'umuntu atonda kandi yicisha bugufi+.

38 Nuko arashangashangashiwe+ n'ishavu, akuraho Androniko umutamana wiwe w'umuyaya+, agura impuzu ziwe, acisha hagati mu gisagara, ashika hagati muri nya gisagara, aho yari yanse kurwanya Oniniya, yica nya mwicanyi+ wa mubisha+. Ni co gituma Umukama yamuhezagira, nk'uko yari abikwiriye.

39 Igihe i Lysimako+ myinshi yagirwa muri ico gisagara biciye kuri Lysimako biciye ku muhango wa Menelako, ivyamwa vyayo na vyo birakwiragira hanze, abantu benshi bakoranira hamwe kurwanya Lysimako, ivyombo vyinshi vy'inzahabu bimaze kujanwa kure.

40 Ariko rero, abantu basanzwe baraduga, barashangaswa+, Lysimako yari afise ibirwanisho nk'ibihumbi bitatu, atangura gutanga ubukazi+. 11 Yehova ni umuntu atwara abantu, kandi nta n'umwe yari amaze imyaka myinshi ari umugororotsi+ kandi nta n'umwe agifise ubupfu+.

41Bamaze kubona igerageza rya Lisimako, bamwe muri bo barafata amabuye, mu mirwi imwe, abandi bafata imikungugu y'umukungugu, abari iruhande yabo, bose babashira kuri Lysimako, n'abariko barabashirako.

42 Benshi muri bo barakomeretse, abandi barakubita hasi, bose barahunga; mugabo ku bw'urusengero, we ubwiwe barica iruhande y'ishinguriro ry'insago+.

43Ivyo ni vyo vyatumye haba ikirego co kugarariza Meneriyo.

44 Maze umwami ashitse i Taruru, abagabo batatu bari barungitswe mu nama nshingamateka, batangura gusaba ikintu imbere yiwe+, 45 Mugabo Meneriyo, amaze guhamwa n'icaha, yararahiye Ptolemee mwene Dorimene+ ko azomuha amahera menshi, hamwe yogirira inginga umwami.

46 Mugabo Ptolemee ajana umwami mu kibanza c'uburemu+, igihe yatwara ikirere, aca atangura kumugirira ikindi kintu+.

47Kandi ko yakura Menelayo ivyo yagiriza, naho vyaba ari vyo vyatumye abo bantu batobato, bogira ico bashikiriza, egome, imbere y'Abasito, bari bakwiye gucirwa urubanza ata co bazira, yabaciriye urubanza rwo gupfa.

48 Ukwo ni ko abakurikira ico gisagara n'abantu no ku bw'ivyombo vyeranda, ntibatevye guhanishwa igihano c'akarenganyo+.

49 Kuko mbere n'abo muri Tyru+, bahavuye bacika urwanko rw'ico gikorwa c'ububisha+, bituma bahahambwa mu buryo buhimbaye+.

50 Nuko rero kubwo umwina+ w'abari ku butegetsi, Menelayo aguma aganza+, aguma abandanya kuganza+, abandanya kugwira mu ngwano+ no kuba umugurano ukomeye ku banyagihugu+.

IKIGABANE CA 5 1 Antiyokusi ategura urugendo rwiwe rwa kabiri mu Misiri.

2 Nuko rero, mu gisagara cose, mu gihe c'imisi mirongo ine+ habonetse abagendera ku mafarasi biruka mu kirere bambaye inzahabu, kandi bitwaje ibishobisho, bameze nk'umugwi w'abasoda+.

3 Kandi inteko za gisirikare z'abagendera ku mafarasi zirishajije, zigahura n'izindi, zikubitana n'inkinzo z'inkinzo+ n'imibindi isinzi, n'imitako y'ubwoko bwose, n'ibishobisho vy'ubwoko bwose, n'ibishobisho vy'ubwoko bwose+ n'ibishobisho vy'ubwoko bwose+ n'ibishobisho vy'ubwoko bwose+ n'ibishobisho vy'ubwoko bwose.

4Kuko umuntu wese yasenze ngo ico musaba, ahindukirire iciza.

5 Maze igihe hasohoka inkuru y'ikinyoma+ nk'aho Antiyokiya yari yarapfuye, Yahweje abagabo n'imiburiburi igihumbi, maze bukwi na bukwi+ bukwi na bukwi+ bukwi na bwo bukwi+ bukwi na bukwi na bukwi+ bukwi na bukwi+ kuri nya gisagara. N'abari ku mpome barasubiza

inyuma igisagara kirekire, Menelaus aca ahungira mu gitereko c'amahero.

6 Mugabo Yani+ yica abantu biwe bwite ata mpuhwe+, ata co yiyumvira ku vy'uko umusi wo kuzoba umusi w'umunezero kuri we+. Bari bazi ko ari abansi biwe, atari abo mu gihugu ciwe, abo yanesheje.

7 Kuko ivyo vyose atari vyo yaronse ubukuru+, mugabo mu nyuma aterwa isoni n'impembo yiwe yo kumugambanira+, maze asubira guhungira mu gihugu c'Abahamoni+.

8 Amaherezo yaragarutse atanezerewe+, kuko yarezwe imbere ya Areta umwami w'Abarabu+, ahunga igisagara aja mu gisagara+, akurikiranwa n'abantu bose+ nk'umuhevyi w'amategeko+, kandi kubera ko yari ahevye ibiteye ishishi nk'umwansi w'igihugu ciwe n'igihugu ciwe+, atabwa hanze mu Misiri+.

9 Nuko rero, umwe yarukanye benshi mu gihugu cabo, apfira mu gihugu c'amavukiro+, aja mu banyesoniya+, akibaza ngo arondere guhwana n'abo mu bwoko bwiwe+.

10Kandi uwari yarukanye benshi, nta n'umwe yashobora kumugandarira, canke ku maziko y'ibirori vy'iteka na gato, canke ku mvano ya ba sekuruza biwe.

11 Ivyo bishitse ku modoka y'umwami, yiyumvira yuko Yudaya yari yagararije+; ashangashirwa mu Misiri mu bwishangashirwe bushangashirwe, afata ca gisagara akoresheje ibirwanisho+, 12 Maze ategeka abantu biwe b'intambara kutadohoka+ nk'uko bahura+ no kugira ngo biyicwa+ nko ku mazu.

13 Ukwo ni ko habaye ubwicanyi bw'imisore n'abakuze, bica abagabo, abagore n'abana, bica abigeme b'isugi n'inzoya+.

14 Inyuma y'imisi itatu, abantu ibihumbi mirongo ine na bo baratikizwa mu ntambara+. Kandi nta n'umwe yagurishijwe cane kuruta abishwe.

15Ariko ivyo ntiyabihimbaye, ariko yashobora kuja mu rusengero rweranda rwose rw'isi yose. 17.10.2016- 2016 17:23) Ukwo ni ko vyagezwe vya Yehova, ari vyo bitegerezwa kuba ari vyo shingiro ry'igihugu ciwe, kandi ni vyo bitegerezwa kuba ari vyo bitegerezwa kuba: 16 Vyongeye, afata ivyombo vyeranda akoresheje amaboko ahumanya+, n'amaboko y'ibishobisho vy'impwemu+ vy'abandi bami+, kugira ngo bikongere ubuninahazwa+ n'ubuninahazwa bw'ahantu+, abihevye+.

17 Nuko Antiyokusi aritegereza+ ku muzirikanyi+ ku buryo atakibona ko Yehova ahangashangashiwe akanya gatoyi ku bw'ibicumuro vy'abacumbitse muri ico gisagara, ni co gituma ijisho ryiwe atari aho hantu.

18Kuko batari bamaze kujanwa mu vyaha vyinshi, uyu muntu ahejeje kuza, yari amaze gushukwa, akurwa mu gishingo ciwe, nk'uko Heliodoru yari, uwo Seleko umwami atuma kwiraba iryo tongo ry'ishikaniro.

19 Mugabo Imana ntiyatoranye abantu ku bw'ico kibanza+, ahubwo yahisemwo ico kibanza ku bw'abantu+.

20 Kandi ico kibanza ubwaco cari cafatanije na bo ku bijanye n'ivyago vyashikiye ihanga, mu nyuma gitangura kuvuga ivyiza biva kuri Yehova+; kandi nk'uko cahenzwe mu burake bwa Mushoboravyose+, ni ko na none Umukama ahambaye yigarura, yashizweho n'ubuninahazwa bwose+.

21 Antiyokusi amaze kuzimanganya mu rusengero italanto igihumbi n'amajana umunani, aca ashika i Antiyokiya yose, atangura kwiyubura mu kwishira hejuru kugira ngo igihugu

gishobore kugira ico gihugu kigende n'amaguru, ikiyaga na co cari gikemuwe+.

22 Hanyuma asiga ba buramatari ngo basimbure ihanga+, i Yeruzalemu na Filipo ku bw'igihugu ciwe ari Ideygini+, kandi ku bw'ubwiwe yari ingumba kuruta uwumushize ng'aho+.

23 Kandi i Garizim, Andronicus; 20 Nayo Menelaus, uwuruta abandi bose, ari n'ukuboko kiwe+ ku bantu b'igitsina-gabo+, kuko yari afise umutima mubi ku bayuda b'iwabo+.

24 Nuko arungika kandi Apolo+ umwe mu ngabo z'abantu ibihumbi bibiri na mirongo ibiri na mirongo ibiri, abarira abantu bose b'uburyo bwiza kuruta abandi, no kugurisha abagore n'abakiri bato+.

25Kandi haza i Yeruzalemu, kandi yiyerekana nk'amahoro, abandanya kwihangana gushika ku musi wera w'isabato, igihe yakira Abayuda ku musi wera, ategeka abantu biwe kwifatira ibirwanisho.

26 Nuko arasa abantu bose bari bagiye guhimbaza umusi mukuru w'isabato+, maze yiruka aciye mu gisagara bakoresheje ibirwanisho, bica isinzi rinini.

27 Mugabo Yuda Makabe ari kumwe n'abandi icenda+ canke ng'aho, yiyumanganya mu gahinga, aba mu misozi, inyuma y'ibikoko bimeze nk'ibikoko, hamwe n'ishirahamwe ryiwe ryama rigaburira imboga, kugira ngo ntibagire uruhara mu bijanye n'ihumana ry'ikirere+.

IKIGABANE CA 6 1 Inyuma y'ivyo, umwami atumako umutama w'i Atene, kugira ngo agobera Abayuda ngo ave mu vyagezwe vya ba sekuruza, ngo ntibabandanye kubaho bakurikiza ivyagezwe vy'Imana+.

2 No guhumanya n'urusengero rw'i Yeruzalemu+ no kuvyita urusengero rwa Jupiter+ rwa Olympiyo+. Mu gisagara ca Bujumbura, mu gisagara ca Bujumbura, niho haca haca hajamwo abantu bataramenyekana, nk'uko bavyipfuza.

3 Ukuza kw'ubwo buhusho bw'ikibi bwari bukaze kandi bubabaza abantu+.

4 Kuko urusengero rwuzura imigumuko+ n'amahanga+, abari bafatanije n'abarovyi+, kandi babwirizwa kujana n'abagore mu muzunguruko w'ibibanza vyeranda+, be n'ivyazananywe mu bintu bitemewe n'amategeko+.

5 Igicaniro na co nyene cari cuzuye ibintu vy'ubuhusi+, ivyo ivyagezwe vyababuza+.

6 Kandi ntivyemewe ko umuntu yokwisonzesha ku musi w'isabato+ canke ngo agume yisonzesha+, canke ngo yiyerekana ko ari Umuyuda rwose+.

7 Kandi ku musi umwami yavuka buri kwezi, bajanwa n'ugusangira ibimazi+; 15 Nuko igihe babandanya kwisonzesha kwa Bayako, Abayuda baca babwirizwa kuja i Baruki, bajana ivy.

8 Vyongeye, itegeko bamenyesha ibisagara bibanyi vy'ubushuhe+, biciye ku ciyumviro ca Ptolemee+, ku bijanye n'iciyumviro c'Abayuda, ngo bategerezwa kugenza nk'uko babigira, bagasangira ibimazi vyabo+.

9 Kandi uwudahuye n'ingeso z'abanyamahanga akwiye kwicwa+. Ariko rero, hari aho umuntu yokwibonera ukuntu amerewe nabi muri iki gihe.

10 Kuko hajanywe abagore babiri+ bari bamaze kugenyerwa abana babo+. 14Bamaze kuzunguruka hirya

no mu gisagara, imivyimba iboshe amabere yabo, bayishira ku mutwe uvuye ku ruhome.

11 Abandi na bo bari birukanye mu masenga yegereye+, kugira ngo umusi w'isabato ugume mu mpisho, bamenyekana na Filipo, bose baraturirwa+, kuko bagira ijwi ryo mu mutima ryo kwifasha kugira ngo bahimbarwe icubahiro+ ca wa musi mweranda rwose.

12 Ubu rero ndasavye abasoma iki gitabu ngo ntibacike ivutu ku bw'ivyo vyago+, mugabo bagaca imanza ivyo bihano, atari uguhonyanyurwa+, ahubwo no ku bw'uguhana ihanga ryacu+.

13 Kuko ari agakenke k'ukumera neza kwiwe gukomeye+, igihe abakora ibitagororotse batamara igihe kirekire bababazwa+, ahubwo bagahanwa bimwe bikomeye+.

14Kuko atari nk'ayandi mahanga, abo Umwami wacu yihanganiye guhana, gushika bashitse ku bicumuro vyabo, ni ko atugirira nabi.

15 Kugira ngo mu gihe c'ugushika ku kirurutse c'igicumuro+, inyuma y'aho azotwihora+.

16 Ni co gituma itadukurako imbabazi ziwe+, kandi naho ihana ivyago+, ntiyigera iheba abantu biwe+.

17Ariko ivyo ni bibe ivyo tuvuga, ngo biduhe ingabisho.

Ubu rero tugiye kudohoka kuri ico kibazo mu majambo makeyi.

18 Eleyazari, umwe mu banditsi b'imbere, umwe mu banditsi b'imbere y'abantu b'umutama+ be n'umuntu ashimye cane, yabwirijwe kwugururira akanwa kiwe no kurya inyama z'ingurube+.

19 Mugabo we, ahitamwo gupfa mu buninahazwa+, hako abahohowe ikizira nk'ico giteye ishishi+, agicira amate+ maze aza ku bw'ugubabazwa kwiwe+.

20Ni co cabahaye kuza, biteguriye kurwanya mwene ivyo bintu, nk'uko bitemewe ko urukundo rw'ubuzima ruhonja.

21 Mugabo abari bafise ibanga ry'uwo musi mukuru w'ububisha+, kuko uwo muntu yari azi kera bari kumwe na wa mugabo, bamujana ku ruhande, batakambira ngo azane umubiri w'intunganyo yiwe bwite+, nk'uko vyari biteganywa n'uko yoyakoresha+ no kugira ngo ase n'aho arya inyama z'umubiri yakuwe mw'itongo ryategetswe n'umwami.+ 22 Kugira ngo mu kubigenza gutyo azorokorwa mu rupfu+, kandi ku bw'ubugenzi bwa kera na bo bubonemwo ubutoni+.

23Ariko atangura kwiyubara mu bwenge, nk'uko yamye imyaka yiwe, n'agaciro k'imyaka yiwe ya kera, n'icubahiro c'umutwe w'imvi, n'imvi yiwe y'imvi, n'inyigisho ziwe z'imvi, n'inyigisho ziwe z'imvugakuri, n'inyigisho ziwe z'ukuri kuruta izindi zose zavuye mu mwana, canke ivyagezwe vyeranda vyatanzwe n'Imana; ni co gituma yabishuye, avyishura, kugira ngo bamurungike mu mva.

24Kuko bitahindutse ubusaza bwacu, avuga ati: "Nta n'umwe mu bukerebutsi bw'ubukerebutsi bwo gusigura ibintu, aho abakiri bato benshi boshobora kwiyumvira yuko Eleyazari afise imyaka mirongo ine n'icumi, ubu bahavuye baja mw'idini ry'abanyamahanga.

25Ni co gituma bitumwe n'ubwiyorobetsi bwanje, n'icipfuzo co kubaho igihe gito n'akanya gatoyi, bampendwa na jewe, nanje nkaronka ikimanyu c'ubusaza bwanje, nkabuhindura ikizira.

26Kuko, naho noba nshikiriwe n'igihano c'abantu, ariko sinkwiye guhunga ukuboko kw'Mushoboravyose, sinashobora kuba ari muzima canke urupfu.

27 Ubu rero, ni ho nzohindura ubu buzima+, nk'uko imyaka yanje ikeneye,+ 28 Vyongeye, nugire akarorero kerekana ko abakiri bato bategerezwa gupfa babikunze kandi babigiranye umutima rugabo ku bw'ivyagezwe vy'iteka be n'ivyagezwe vyeranda.

Ahejeje kuvuga ayo majambo, buno nyene aca aja kubabazwa.

29 Abamutumye guhindura iciza+ baramurevya gatoyi imbere y'urwanko+, kuko insiguro z'akamo nkeyi zatanguranye nk'uko biyumviriye, bivuye mu mutima mubi+.

30 Mugabo igihe yari yiteguriye gupfa akoresheje imishishagu, aninanwa+ maze avuga ati: "Bibonekera Umwami wacu kumenya+ ko ari ubumenyi bweranda+, yuko aho nshobora kuba nararokowe mu rupfu, ubu ndihangana n'ububabare bubabaje mu mubiri+ no gukubitwa+ no gukubitwa; mugabo mu bugingo ndahimbawe no kubabara ivyo bintu, kuko ndamutinya.

31Ni co gituma uwo muntu yapfuye, asiga urupfu rwiwe ngo abere icitegererezo c'umutima mwiza, n'icibutso c'ingeso nziza, atari ku basore gusa, ariko no ku bwoko bwiwe bwose.

IKIGABANE CA 7 1Kandi bene wacu indwi bari kumwe na nyina, babwirizwa kugobera umwami ngo aryoherwe n'inyama z'ingurube, bababazwa n'imiswi n'imikogote.

2Ariko umwe muri bo yabanje kuvuga ati: "Ni igiki udusaba canke utwigiyeko? Twiteguriye gupfa, aho kurenga ku mategeko y'abasokuruza bacu.

3 Maze umwami ashavuye cane, ategeka ko imifu n'imiringa bishushe+.

4 Amaze gushushe, ategeka ko akuraho ururimi rw'uwubanza kuvuga+, no guca ibihimba vy'umubiri wiwe vyose+, abasigaye muri bene wabo na nyina bitegereza+.

5Amaze kugobanwa mu bihimba vyiwe vyose, ategeka ko bamujana mu muriro, ngo avurwe mu kabindi; kandi nk'uko ikime c'iyo mpema cama carasanzaye ahantu heza, baraheza baremeshanya na nyina ngo bapfe, bavuga bati: "Ni co catumye umuntu apfa."

6 Umukama Imana araduhanga amaso+, kandi mu vy'ukuri yaraduhumurije+, nk'uko Musa mu ruririmbo rwiwe yashingiye intahe mu maso habo, avuga ati: "Azohozwa mu basavyi biwe+.

7 Nuko, uwa mbere amaze gupfa hanyuma y'ico giti, bazana uwa kabiri ngo amuhindure ibinure vy'urukoba rwo ku mutwe, baraheza batangura kumubaza bati: "Mbega, worya, imbere y'uko uhanwa mu bihimba vyawe vyose?"

8 Mugabo yishura mu rurimi rwiwe bwite, avuga ati: "Oya." Vyongeye, yarababazwa cane n'umubabaro ukurikira, nk'uko vyahavuye bishikirizwa n'uwa mbere.

9 Kandi igihe yari kw'iherezo, avuga ati: "Ni wewe udukura muri ubu buzima bw'iki gihe+, mugabo umwami w'isi azotuvyura+, umwe yapfuye ku bw'ivyagezwe vyiwe+, kugira ngo aronke ubuzima budahera+.

10 Inyuma yiwe hari uwugira gatatu atangura gutweya+; kandi igihe yasabwa, ashira hanze ururimi rwiwe, kandi vuba aha, afashe amaboko yiwe mu buryo bwuzuye+.

11 Abo nari mfise bavuye mw'ijuru n'umutima rugabo, Kubera amategeko yiwe, narasuzuguje+; Ndamwipfurije kuzosubira kubafata.

12 Nuko umwami n'abari kumwe na we batangazwa n'umutima rugabo, kuko ata kintu na kimwe yari yabonye ku bijanye n'umubabaro+.

13 Mugabo igihe na we nyene yari yapfuye, barababazwa, bano bakabaha ica kane nk'uko nyene.

14Ni co gituma igihe yari yiteguye gupfa, yavuze ati: "Ni vyiza ko abantu bicwe, ngo barondere ivyizigiro biva ku Mana ngo basubire kuzurwa na we; nawe, ntuzoronka izuka ry'ubuzima."

15 Inyuma y'ivyo, bazana n'uwa gatanu, baramutata.

16 Maze aritegereza umwami, avuga ati: "Urafise ububasha ku bantu,Uri n'igiturire, ukora ivyo ushaka+. Ariko rero, ntimwiyumvire ko igihugu cacu gihevye Imana.

17Ariko mugume mugumane akanya gatoyi, murabe ububasha bwiwe buhambaye, ingene azobabazwa n'uruvyaro rwawe.

18 Inyuma yiwe na bo bazana uwa gatandatu yiteguriye gupfa, aravuga ati: "Ntimuyobe, kuko twebwe ubwacu dushikirwa n'imibabaro yacu, kuko twebwe twacumuye ku Mana yacu; ni co gituma ibintu vy'agatangaza bigirwa kuri twebwe."

19Ariko weho, ntiwiyumvire ngo urwanye Imana, ngo uhunge icaha.

20Ariko uwo muvyeyi aratangara kuruta vyose, kandi abereye kwibukwa mu buryo bw'iteka: kuko aho yabona abahungu biwe indwi bishwe mu kirere c'umusi umwe, ata co abivuzeko, agifise umutima rugabo, kubera icizigiro yari afise mu Mukama.

21 Egome, yarahimiriza umwe wese muri bo mu rurimi rwiwe, yuzuye impwemu z'umutima rugabo+. Yaciye akoranya umugore wiwe mu nda, ababwira ati: 22 Sinshobora kuvuga ingene washitse mu nda yanje+; kuko sinaguhaye impwemu canke ubuzima+ canke ubuzima, eka mbere si jewe nabumvye ibihimba vy'umwe wese muri mwebwe+.

23 Mugabo, umuremyi w'isi+, umwe yarema iyaruka ry'abantu+, kandi asanze intango ya vyose+, na we nyene ku bw'imbabazi ziwe bwite+, azokwongera kubaha impemu n'ubuzima+, nk'uko ubu mwiyumvira ubwanyu ku bw'ivyagezwe vyiwe+.

24 Maze Antiyokusi yiyumvira ko ari we yasuzuguje+, akikeka ko ari imvugo y'iceyi+, mu gihe umutoyi yari akiri muzima+ ntiyamuhimiriza amajambo gusa, ahubwo yaramuhimiriza indahiro, yuko yomuhindura umutunzi n'umuntu ahimbawe+, hamwe yohindukira akava mu mategeko ya ba sekuruza biwe+. Ategerezwa kandi kumugirira kwizigirana n'umukunzi wiwe, kandi akamwizera.

25Ariko uwo musore atavyumvise, umwami ahamagara nyina, amuhimiriza inama uwo musore ngo akize ubuzima bwiwe.

26Amaze kumuremesha akoresheje amajambo menshi, amusezeranira ko azohanura umwana wiwe.

27 Mugabo aramwunamira+ kuri we, atwenga wa mubisha w'umubisha w'umubisha, avuga mu rurimi rw'igihugu rwiwe. Ewe mwananje, ngirira ikigongwe uwancumuyeko amezi icenda nkiri mu nda yanje, akaguhaye imyaka itatu nk'iyo, arakugaburira, akakugaburira gushika n'iki gihe, akihanganira amagorwa y'amashure.

28 Ndagutakambiye, mwananje, itegereze ijuru n'isi n'ibirimwo vyose, mwitegereze yuko Imana yabagize ibiremwa bitazoboneka+. Abantu na bo nyene ni ko bari bameze.

29 Ntimutinye uwu muherezi w'umubabaro+, ahubwo kubera ko bibereye bene wanyu+, mwicishe bugufi, kugira ngo nongere kukugirira imbabazi+ na bene wanyu.

30 Akiriko aravuga ayo majambo, nya musore aca avuga ati: "Ni nde murindiriye?" Sinzokwubahiriza ibwirizwa ry'umwami, ariko nzokwubahiriza ibwirizwa ryahawe ba sogokuruza bacu Musa.

31Nawe, uwabaye uwanditse amakosa yose ku Baheburayo, ntuze uhunge amaboko y'Imana.

32Kuko dushikirwa n'imibabaro kubera ibicumuro vyacu.

33 Kandi naho Umwami+ w'ubuzima aturakarira akanya gatoyi ku bw'ugukosorwa kwacu no kugorora+, azokwongera kuba kumwe n'abasuku biwe+.

34Ariko weho, wa muntu w'ingarariji, n'iyindi mibisha yose, ntuze umanikwe hejuru, canke ngo wivyimvya, ushire ukuboko kwawe ku basavyi b'Imana.

35 Kuko utarakira urubanza rw'Imana Mushoboravyose ikabona vyose+.

36 Kuko bene wacu ubu bababajwe n'umubabaro mutoyi+, bapfuye barongowe n'isezerano ry'Imana ry'ubuzima budahera+; mugabo wewe, biciye ku rubanza rw'Imana, uzohabwa igihano c'ubwishime bwawe+.

37 Ariko jewe, nk'uko bene wacu, ntanze umubiri wanje n'ubuzima bwanje ku bw'amategeko ya ba sogokuruza+, nguma ninginga Imana ngo inyigane ihanga ryacu ningoga+. Kugira ngo mubabazwa n'ivyago n'ivyago vyokwatura, ngo Imana yonyene ni Yo yonyene.

38Kandi kugira ngo muri jewe n'abavukanyi banje ishavu rya Mushoboravyose, iryo rihejeje gushikirizwa ihanga ryacu, rihagarike.

39 Umwami ashangashirwe n'ishavu+, aramutanga nabi kuruta abandi bose+, kandi acifata nabi cane kubera ko yasegujwe+.

40 Nuko uwo muntu apfa ata gihumanye+, kandi yizigiye Yehova ibintu vyiwe vyose+.

41 Inyuma y'aho, nyina yarapfuye.

42 Ivyo nibibe bihagije ubu, kugira ngo ivyo bivuzwe ku bijanye n'imisi mikuru y'ugusenga ibigirwamana be n'ihonyagurwa rirengeje+.

IKIGABANE CA 8 1 Maze Yuda Makabe n'abari kumwe na we, baja mu bisagara, bahamagaza abagwanyi babo, abajana bose nk'uko baguma mw'idini ry'Abayuda, bakoranira hamwe abagabo nk'ibihumbi bitandatu.

2 Baca bahamagara Yehova ngo arabe abantu bariko barahonyangwa bose+. Vyongeye, aragirira impuhwe abantu b'intahemuka, 3 Kandi kugira ngo agirire impuhwe ico gisagara+, akaze umutima umenetse, kandi yiteguriye no gushirwa mu butaka+. Nimwumve amaraso yasemereye, 4 Kandi mwibuke ubwicanyi bw'ababisha+ bw'abana bato ata co bumara+, be n'ibirogotano+ vyakozwe ku bw'izina ryiwe+. Azokwankwa n'urwanko rwiwe ku babisha.

5 Maze Amabekabe aronka ikimenyamenya+ ciwe ku bimwerekeye, ntiyashobora kutegera neza uwo mushangasi+; kuko ishavu rya Yehova ryahindutse imbabazi+.

6 Nuko araza atabimenye+, aturira ibisagara n'ibisagara, ashira mu minwe ibibanza vyaho vy'uburuhusi kuruta ibindi vyose, maze atsinda, atangura kwidegemvya, ata n'igitigiri gitoyi c'abansi biwe+.

7 Mugabo, yarakoresheje cane cane iryo joro+ ku bw'ivyo yagerageje kwiwe+, bituma ivyamwa vy'ubweranda bwiwe bikwiragira hose+.

8 Filipo abonye ko uwo muntu yarushirije gukura ku bintu bikeyi+ kandi ko ibintu vyarushirije kuroranirwa kuri we+, yandikira Ptolemeyo buramatari wa Celosiyi+ n'i Phenice+ kugira ngo aronke imfashanyo+ ku vy'umwami+.

9 Maze atora Nikari+ mwene Patiroclu, umwe mu bagenzi biwe b'intahemuka+, amurungikana n'amahanga yose ari munsi y'ibihumbi mirongo ibiri+, kugira ngo arandura iyaruka ryose ry'Abayuda+. Na we nyene yarifatanije na Gorgias, akaba yari afitaniye ubucuti bukomeye n'uwo mugera.

10 Nikari rero yifatanije no gutanga amahera menshi ku Bayuda bari mu bunyagano, nk'uko yabwirizwa guha agaciro italanto ibihumbi bibiri umwami yategerezwa kuriha Abaroma.

11Uwo mwanya aca atuma ibisagara vyo ku nkengera y'ikiyaga, atangaza ko bagurisha Abayuda bari mu bunyagano, asezerana ko bazoronka ibiziga bine n'ibiziga cumi ku bw'italanto imwe, kandi ntibiteze kwihorera kwa ya Mana Mushoboravyose.

12 Nuko bamuzanira yuda w'i Nikeri, kandi yari yarahevye abari kumwe n'ingabo ziwe.

13 Abari batekewe n'ubwoba n'ukutizera ubutungane bw'Imana+, barahunga, batangura kwisurura+.

14 Abandi bagurisha ivyo bari basigaranye vyose+ bongera basaba Umukama ngo abarokore, bagurishijwe na wa mubisha Nikarani imbere y'uko bakoranira hamwe+.

15 Kandi nimba atari ku bwabo bwite+, ariko ku bw'amasezerano yari yaragiranye na ba sekuruza babo+ no ku bw'izina ryiwe ryeranda kandi ry'ubuninahazwa+ ku bw'izina ryiwe ry'ubuninahazwa+, iryo bahamagawemwo+.

16 Maccabea ahamagara rero abagabo biwe gushika ku mubare w'ibihumbi bitandatu+, abahimiriza kudatinya umwansi+, eka mbere no gutinya isinzi ry'abantu b'ubushuhe+ ryaje kubarwanya+. Kurwa co za co za, 17 Kandi kugira ngo bashire amaso yabo amabi bari baragiriye ahantu heranda+ be n'ibikorwa vy'ubunyamaswa vy'agasagara+, maze batangura kugoyagota+ n'intwaro ya ba sekuruza babo+.

18 Kuko bavuga ngo nimwizere ibirwanisho vyabo n'ubutinyutsi bwabo+. Vyongeye, turafise umutima ruheta mu nyonga z'Imana, umwe wese arashobora kutwirukana, abaturwanya be n'ab'isi yose.

19 Yongera kubabwira ivyafashije ba sekuruza babo bari barabonye be n'ingene barokowe+, igihe bayobowe na Senakeribu+ ari amajana ane na mirongo ine na bitanu barahona+.

20 Maze ababwira urugamba bari bafise i Babiloni+ hamwe n'Ab'i Babuloni+, ingene baje atari ibihumbi umunani mu gikorwa cose, hamwe n'Abanyamadoniya ibihumbi bine+, be n'uko Abanyamakedoniya bariko barasenyurwa+, bano bantu ibihumbi mirongo umunani baratikiza+ ibihumbi ijana na mirongo ibiri kubera imfashanyo bari bafise bavuye mw'ijuru, baronka n'inkoho nyinshi.

21Amaze kubashira amanga aya majambo, yiteguriye gupfa kubera itegeko n'igihugu, agabura inteko ziwe zine.

22 Maze yifatanya na bene wabo, abakuru b'umugwi umwe, kugira ngo bashigike Simoni na Yozefu na Yonatani, umwe wese atange abagabo amajana atanu na batanu+.

23 Nuko ashinga Eleyazari ngo asome igitabu ceranda+, kandi amaze kubaha iri bwirizwa ry'inderetsi, imana ibafashe+. Niwe arongoye umugwi wa mbere, 24 Kandi biciye kuri Mushoboravyose, bica ingabo ibihumbi icenda+, kandi zikomeretsa benshi mu ngabo za Nikari+, gutyo bose barahunga+.

25 Maze bafata icuma cabo co kubagura, babakurikirana gushika kure; mugabo babura umwanya bagaruka+.

26 Kuko wari umusi imbere y'isabato, ni co gituma batazokwongera kubakurikirana+.

27Bamaze gukoraniriza hamwe ibirwanisho vyabo, banonya abansi babo, bitangura kw'isabato, bahimbaza ishimwe rirengeje, bakengurukira Umukama, we yabazigamye gushika kuri wa musi w'imbabazi z'ikigongwe.

28 Kandi inyuma y'isabato, igihe bashira igice c'isahu+ c'isahu, abapfakazi n'impfuvyi, n'impfuvyi, bacitsemwo ibisigarira, bigabura hagati yabo n'abasuku babo+.

29 Ivyo bishitse, kandi bari baragize ukwinginga+, basaba Umukama nyen'imbabazi ngo asubize hamwe n'abasavyi biwe ibihe bitazoshira+.

30 Vyongeye, mu bari kumwe na Timotheyo+ na Bayadesi+ babarwanya, bica abarenga ibihumbi mirongo ibiri+, kandi barushiriza gushika hejuru+ n'abafise ububasha budasanzwe, bigaburamwo iminyago myinshi+, bacikamwo ibimuga+ n'impfuvyi, impfuvyi, abapfakazi, egome, n'abashaje, bangana n'iminyago yabo+.

31Bamaze kwegeranya ibirwanisho vyabo, babashira ahantu h'ukwiyorohereza, n'amasigarira y'iminyago bashikana i Yeruzalemu.

32 Vyongeye, bica Filerari+, uwo munyakibi yari kumwe na Timotheyo+, kandi yari yashavuje Abayuda inzira nyinshi+.

33 Kandi muri ico gihe nyene, igihe bahimbaza umusi mukuru w'intsinzi mu gihugu cabo+ baturira I Callisthenes, umwe yari yarashinze umuriro ku marembo yeranda+, umwe yari yahungiye mu nzu ntoyi+. Yaronse impera ku bw'ububisha bwiwe.

34 Nayo Nicari, umwe yazanye abadandaza igihumbi ngo bagure Abayuda+, 35 Yazanywe n'ugutabarwa kw'Umwami Imana yabamanuranye na bo, ari na bo yashikirije ibintu bitobato+.

Maze ayambura ivyambarwa vyiwe vy'ubuninahazwa, ashikiriza ishengero ryiwe, ashitse nk'umusuku yahunga aciye mu midland aja i Antiyokiya, afise inzigo nyinshi cane, kuko ingabo ziwe zatikijwe.

36Ni co gituma umwe yamweretse ngo agirire neza Abanyaroma i Yeruzalemu ikoresheje iminyago, abwira abari mu mahanga ko Abayuda bari bafise Imana yo kubarwanira, bigatuma badashobora kugira ico bababazwa, kuko bakurikiza ivyagezwe yabahaye.

IKIGABANE CA 9 1 Ico gihe Antiyokusi+ y'ubuperesi+ yarasohoka mu gihugu c'Ubuperesi+.

2 Kuko yari yinjiye mu gisagara citwa Perepoli hanyuma aja kwiba urusengero no gufata igisagara+. 10.1.11-20162016 14:24- 2016 14: 14) 14.10.2016 20 Maze Antiyokusi ahunga abantu, ahava aterwa n'isoni.

3 Ashitse i Ecbatane, bamuzanira amakuru y'ivyashikiye Nikari+ na Timotheyo.

4 Maze ishavu rirurumba+. Yariyumviriye kugonagura Abayuda, akamaramaza k'abamutumye guhunga. Ni co gituma yategetse umukogote wiwe w'umukogote gutwara imodoka, no kurungika urugendo, urubanza rw'Imana ruramukurikira ubu nyene. Kuko yari yavuze atewe ishema n'uko yoje i Yeruzalemu, akagihindura ikibanza co guhambamwo Abayuda.

5 Mugabo Yehova Mushoboravyose, ya Mana y'Ireal+, amushiha icago kidashobora gukira+ kandi kitaboneka+; canke akimara kuvuga ayo majambo, umubabaro w'amarushwa+ y'intuntu yari atewe n'intuntu+, kandi umubabaro w'intuntu z'indani+ wazana kuri we, n'umubabaro mwinshi w'ibihimba vy'imbere+.

6Kandi ico ni co gusa: kuko yari yarababaje abandi, amagorwa menshi n'amaganya menshi.

7 Ntiyaretse kwirata kwirata kwiwe+, ahubwo yari yuzuye ubwishime+, ashira umuriro mu bururu bwiwe ku Bayuda+ yongera ategeka ko bagira urugendo, mugabo agwa hasi ari ku mukogote wiwe, atwarwa n'ubukazi+; Ku bw'ivyo, ibihimba vy'umubiri wiwe vyose vyarababara cane.

8Kandi yiyumviriye yuko yoshobora gutegeka imipfunda y'ikiyaga, arenza urugero umuntu, apima imisozi miremire ku buringa, atabwa hasi, atwarwa n'ifarasi, ashika ku bubasha bwose bw'Imana.

9 Nuko nya miyogo ikoroka mu mubiri w'uwo mubisha+, kandi mu gihe yari mu mubabaro no mu mubabaro, umubiri wiwe uragwa, ubuhumane bw'umwono+, n'ubuhumane bw'umwomanyi bwiwe ntiburi ku ngabo ziwe zose+.

10Kandi uwo muntu yiyumvira bikeyi, ashobora gushikira inyenyeri zo mw'ijuru, ata muntu yoshobora kwihangana ngo atware itongo ryiwe ritagira aho rigera.

11 Aha rero, amaze kubabazwa+, atangura guheba ubwishime bwiwe bwinshi+, ashika ku bumenyi bwiwe biciye ku cours d'Imana,Ububabare bwiwe buguma burushiriza kwongerekana+.

12 Mugabo igihe ubwiwe atagishobora kuguma ahema, avuga ayo majambo, birahuye no kuyobokera Imana+, be n'uko umuntu w'umuntu w'urupfu atokwiyumviriye+ nimba ari Imana y'ukuri+.

13 Uwo muntu w'umubisha yararahiye+ na Yehova+ uno musi, atosubiye kumugirira imbabazi, avuga ati: 14 Nya gisagara ceranda+, ca gisagara yariko kirahuta kurishira no hasi, kugira ngo kigikore ahantu ho guhamba+, 15 Mugabo ku vy'ukuri, nk'uko bishika ku Bayuda yari yaciriye urubanza ko badakwiye guhamba+, mugabo ngo batabwe hanze hamwe n'abana babo, kugira ngo barye ibitungwa n'ibikoko+ be n'ibikoko vyo mu gahinga, yogize bose bangana n'abanyagihugu b'i Atene+.

16 Kandi urusengero rweranda+ rwa mbere yari yazimangana+ imbere y'uko asonyagura ingabirano nziza+, yongere asubizeho n'ibindi bikoresho vyeranda vyose+, kandi biciye ku mahera yiwe bwite yatirije ibimazi vy'ibimazi+.

17 Egome, kugira ngo na we acike Umuyuda ubwiwe+, agende mw'isi yose yarimwo abantu+, kandi amenyesha ububasha bw'Imana+.

18Ariko ivyo vyose umubabaro wiwe ntuhera; kuko urubanza rugororotse rw'Imana rwashitse kuri we: ni co gituma ahebura ubuzima bwiwe, yandikiye Abayuda ikete ryanditswe, ririmwo ishusho y'ukwinginga, hanyuma y'ivyo.

19 Antiyokusi+ umwami n'umutware+ ku Bayuda beza, abantu biwe baratuma abantu biwe banezerwa cane, amagara meza be n'ukuroranirwa+.

20 Nimba wewe n'abana bawe bagenza neza+, kandi ivyo ujejwe n'ivyo wipfuza bizoba kuri mwebwe+, ndakengurukira cane Imana, mfise icizigiro canje mw'ijuru+.

21 Nayo jewe, nari umunyagoyagoya+, canke ikindi kintu co kwibuka icubahiro+ cawe n'umutima mwiza+ n'ivyiza bizogaruka nkava mu Buperesi+, ngafatwa n'indwara y'uruhago+, mbona ko bikenewe ko yitaho bose+.

22 Sincizigira amagara yanje, ariko ndafise icizigiro gikomeye co gukira iyo ndwara.

23 Mugabo yiyumvira ko na dawe+, ico gihe nyene yajanye inteko za gisirikare mu bihugu vyo hejuru+.

Yagenywe n'uwusubirira abandi, 24 Amaherezo, nimba hari ikintu caguye gitandukanye n'ivyo twari twiteze+, canke nimba hari ikintu cazananye umuzigo, bo muri ico gihugu bazi uwasigaye, nticobahagarika umutima+.

25 Vyongeye, rimbura ingene abaganwa ari abaganwa+ n'ababanyi babo mu bwami bwanje barindiriye akaryo, biteze ibizoba ari ibiki+. Natoye umuhungu wanje Antiyokusi, uwo nakunze gukora nkongera nkakeza benshi muri mwebwe, igihe naduga mu ntara zikirurutse. Abo nandikiye ni aba bakurikira: 26 Ku bw'ivyo rero, ndagusaba ngo ubibutse ivyiza nabagiriye muri rusangi no ku bw'umwihariko, kugira ngo umuntu wese agume ari umwizigirwa kuri jewe n'umwana wanje+.

27 Kuko nzi neza yuko ategera umuzirikanyi wanje azokwumvira neza ivyipfuzo vyanyu+.

28 Ukwo ni ko umwicanyi+ n'uwurogota yababazwa cane n'uko yababajwe cane n'abandi bantu+, ni ko yapfiriye mu gihugu c'amarushwa mu misozi+.

29Filipo, adugana ikiziga ciwe, na we atinya umuhungu wa Antiyokiya, aja mu Misiri aja mu Misiri kwa Ptolemeyo Filometori.

IKIGABANE CA 10 1Makabe n'ishirahamwe ryiwe, Umukama arabayobora, bagarura urusengero n'igisagara.

2 Mugabo ibicaniro vy'ubushuhe vyari vyubatswe mw'ibarabara ryuguruye+ be n'amasenga, bica bimanuka.

3 Maze bamaze gusukura urusengero, bakora ikindi gicaniro+, n'amabuye akubitako umuriro, batangura gushikanira ikimazi inyuma y'imyaka ibiri, bashira imibavu n'amatara n'imikate+.

4Ivyo bishitse, bagwa hasi, basaba Umukama ngo ntibasubire kuza ngo bagaruke muri ayo marushwa+. Ariko baramutse bacumuye kuri we, kugira ngo ubwiwe abagirire ikigongwe, be n'uko badakwiye gushikirizwa ibihugu vy'ibituka Imana n'ibigirwamana.

5 Kuri uwo musi nyene, ba kavamahanga badomeka urusengero+ kuri uwo musi nyene, barasubiye guhumanura, mbere n'umusi ugira mirongo ibiri w'ukwo kwezi nyene, ari wo Caslewu+ wo muri ukwo kwezi nyene.

6 Kandi bamarana imisi umunani banezerewe+, nk'uko vyari ku musi mukuru w'insago+, bibuka yuko batari bahimbaje umusi mukuru w'itaberenakulo+, igihe bagendagenda mu misozi+ no mu vy'isenga nk'ibikoko+.

7 Ni co gituma bari amashami be n'amashami y'imbombo ityoroye+, n'imitumiro be n'imikazo+, baraheza bararirimba amazaburi+ yabahaye kuroranirwa neza mu kutyorora ikibanza ciwe+.

8 Kandi bashinga amategeko n'ingingo nyobozi+, yuko uko umwaka utashe iryo hanga ryose ry'Abayuda rikwiye kugumizwa mu mahanga yose y'Abayuda.

9 Kandi iyo ni yo yari iherezo rya Antiyokiya, yitwa Epifani+.

10 Ubu rero tuzotangaza ibikorwa vy'i Antiyokiya Ewpatori+ mwene wa muntu w'umubisha, dukoraniye hamwe muri make ivyago vy'intambara.

11 Nuko rero, igihe yashikira urugori, ashinga iLysia imwe ku bijanye n'akarere kiwe,+ hanyuma amugira umutware mukuru wa Celosyria+ na Phenice.

12 Kuko Ptolemeyo, uwo yitwa Macron, ahitamwo guha Abayuda ubutungane ku bw'ibibi bari barabakoreye, yarashishikara kugumana na bo amahoro.

13 Igihe yaregwaga incuti z'umwami imbere ya Eupatori+, ahamagaza umuhemu+ ijambo ryose kubera ko yari yarahevye Chypre+ ko Filemotori yari yaramwihebeye, aja i Antiyokiya y'I Antiyokiya, abona ko ata kibanza c'icubahiro yari afise, aca aracika intege, ku buryo yiyononekara maze arapfa.

14 Mugabo Gorgia+ igihe yari buramatari w'imfatakigo, aca atangura akazina n'abasoda+ yongera agaburira Abayuda kurwana+.

15 Maze aba idumeya bose+ bamaze gushika mu maboko y'abajanjamye+, baguma babandanya gufata Abayuda no kwakira abavuye i Yeruzalemu, baja kugaburirwa n'intambara+.

16 Maze abari kumwe na Makabe baratakambira Imana ngo ibafashe+. Bashitseyo, bahagararanye n'ububisha bw'abasozi b'i Nyagasaya, 17Babica n'inkomezi, baratsinda, bakikiza abagwanira ku ruhome bose, bica ibigwa mu maboko yabo, bica abantu batarenza ibihumbi mirongo ibiri.

18Kandi kukw'abantu batari munsi y'ibihumbi icenda, bahungira mu mahema abiri akomeye cane, bafise uburyo bwose bwo kugoyagoya.

19Kabeka asiga Simoni na Yozefu na Zakayo n'abari kumwe na we n'abari kumwe na we, bano bari bakwiye kubagota, baja muri ivyo bibanza bari bakeneye gufashwa.

20 Mugabo abo bari kumwe na Simoni, barongowe n'umwina+, baranka amahera biciye kuri bamwe mu bari muri iyo ngoro+, bafata n'ibitandara+; bamwe muri bo barahunga+.

21 Mugabo bamaze kubibwira Makabe+ ivyobaye, ahamagara ba buramatari b'abantu, atangura kumwagiriza abo bagabo ko bagurishije bene wabo amahera, maze bashinga abansi babo ngo babarwanye+.

22 Yica rero abari babonetse nk'abagurano+, buno nyene afata nya makinga yompi+.

23Kandi amaze gutsinda neza ibirwanisho vyiwe muri vyose, afata ukuboko, aca ahitana abantu barenga ibihumbi mirongo ibiri.

24 Mugabo Timotheyo, uwo Abayuda bari baratsinze kera, igihe yakoranije isinzi ry'ingabo z'amahanga+, n'amafarasi yo muri Aziya+ atari makeyi, aza nk'aho yofata Abayuda akoresheje ibirwanisho+.

25 Mugabo amaze kwegera, abari kumwe na Makabe barahindukira ngo basenge Imana,+ isi ituvyagira ku mitwe yabo,+ n'imigunira yabo+.

26 Maze yikubita imbere y'ibirenge vy'igicaniro+ hanyuma amutakambira ngo abe umunyakigongwe+, no kuba umwansi ku barwanizi babo+, nk'uko ivyagezwe vyabivuze+.

27Bamaze gusenga, bafata ibirwanisho vyabo, bagenda kure y'igisagara; bamaze kwegera abansi babo, baravyigumiza.

28Izuba riherutse guhaguruka, rishira hamwe bompi; Vyongeye, imana izobana n'abantu bayo mu buhungiro bwabo, kugira ngo ishitse ku ntsinzi n'intsinzi yabo: Vyongeye, imana irafise umutima ruhezagira mu buzima bwawe.

29 Mugabo iyo ntambara imaze gukomera, haboneka abansi bo mw'ijuru batanu baje ku mafarasi, bafise imidari y'inzahabu, babiri muri bo bakabajana mu Bayuda.

30 Nuko afata Makabe+ abashirako ibirwanisho impande zose, amukingira atekanye, mugabo arasa imyampi n'imiravyo ku bansi+; kugira ngo batekerwe n'ugushangasa amaso, buzuye amarushwa, barabica+.

31 Vyongeye, hapfa abantu ibihumbi mirongo ibiri n'amajana atanu, n'abagendera ku mafarasi amajana atandatu+.

32 Nayo Timotheyo ubwiwe, ahungira mu kibanza gikomeye cane citwa Gatira, aho Chereya yari buramatari.

33 Mugabo abari kumwe na Makabe barasugereza igihome gikomeye+ imisi ine n'umutima rugabo.

34Kandi abari imbere, bizigira ubukomezi bw'aho hantu, barogota cane amajambo y'ububisha.

35 Mugabo ku musi ugira gatanu, abasore mirongo ibiri bo mu mugwi wa Makabe+ barashangaswa bivuye ku gutuka Imana+, baratera nya ruhome+ bongera baratera nya ruhome+ n'umutima rugabo, bahitana ibintu vyose bahura na vyo+.

36 Abandi na bo nyene baraduga inyuma yabo, mu gihe bariko barasemerera hamwe n'abari ng'aho, baturira iminara, imiriro iturirwa, umuriro uturirwa uturirwa ari muzima+. Abandi baca bamenagura imiryango, maze bakiriye mu yindi ntwazangabo, bafata igisagara.

37 Maze Timotheyo yari yanyegejwe mu cobo kanaka+, na Chereya mwene wabo na Apolofa+.

38Ivyo bishitse, batangura gushemeza Yehova mu mazaburi no mu gukenguruka, umwe yakoreye Isirayeli ibintu bihambaye nk'ivyo, maze abaha intsinzi.

IKIGABANE CA 11 1 Haciye igihe kitari gito, Lysiase umurinzi w'umwami akaba n'uwo muvyarawe, na we nyene yarashoboye kubabazwa n'ibintu vyabaye.

2Amaze gukoranira hamwe n'abagendera ku mafarasi ibihumbi bine, aza kurwanya Abayuda, yiyumvira guhindura igisagara c'abanyamahanga.

3 No kugira ngo uronke urusengero+ nk'izindi nyubakwa z'ubushuhe+, no gushinga ubuherezi bukomakomeye bwo kugurishwa uko umwaka utashe+.

4Kandi ntiyiyumvira rwose ububasha bw'Imana, ahubwo yivyivyimvya n'abagendera ku maguru ibihumbi cumi, n'abagendera ku mafarasi ibihumbi, n'inzovu zayo zine.

5 Nuko ashika i Yudaya, hafi y'igisagara ca Betisura cari igisagara gikomeye mugabo kiri kure y'i Yeruzalemu nko mu micungano itanu, hanyuma atangura kuyigobera+.

6 Maze abari kumwe na Makabe bumva ko asugereje imiravyo+, bo hamwe n'abantu bose baboroga+ n'amarira

n'amosozi, basaba Yehova ngo arungike umumarayika mwiza gukiza Isirayeli+.

7 Maze Makabe ubwiwe ubwa mbere afata ibirwanisho+, ahanura abandi ngo baciyurane+ na we, kugira ngo bafashe bene wabo+ ni co gituma baja hamwe n'umutima ukunze+.

8 Kandi nk'uko bari i Yeruzalemu, haboneka imbere yabo ku mafarasi yambaye impuzu zera+, bano bariko bashirako ibirwanisho vyiwe vy'inzahabu.+ 9 Maze batangura gushemeza Imana y'inyembabazi bose hamwe+ bongera bashira umutima ku mutima, yuko batari biteguye kurwana n'abantu gusa, ahubwo bari biteguriye kurwana n'ibikoko vy'ubunyamaswa+, no gusuka mu mpome z'ivyuma+.

10 Ukwo ni ko babandanya kujana n'ibirwanisho vyabo+, bafise uwubafasha avuye mw'ijuru+, kuko Yehova yari yuzuye imbabazi kuri bo.

11 Kandi bahaye ikirego abansi babo nk'intambwe nk'intambwe+, bica abagendera ku maguru ibihumbi cumi na kimwe, n'abagendera ku mafarasi amajana atandatu, bashira izindi zose mu kuguruka+.

12 Benshi muri bo na bo nyene barahunga bambaye ubusa+; Kandi Lysia ubwiwe yarahunze biteye isoni, aca arahunga.

13Kandi nk'uko yari umuntu w'ubwenge, yishiramwo igihombo yari afise, yiyumvira yuko Abaheburayo badashobora gutsinda, kuko Imana Mushoboravyose yabatabara, ibatumako.

14 Maze arabajijura ngo bumvikane ku bintu vyose bishirwa mu buryo bubereye+ maze asezerana ko yokwemeza umwami yuko ategerezwa kubabera umugenzi+ kuri bo.

15 Maze Makabe aremera ivyo Abanyaziya bose bipfuza, kuko yitwararika iciza rusangi+; Ivyo Maccabe yandikira Abaperesi ku bijanye n'Abayuda, umwami yarabimuha.

16 Kuko hari amakete yanditswe n'Abayuda+ kuva i Lysia gushika kuri iki kintu: Lysias abwira Abayuda indamutso y'Abayuda.

17Kandi Yohana na Abusolomi batumweko, bampa ico musaba, bansaba ngo ibirimwo bimererwe neza.

18 Ku bw'ivyo, ibintu vyose vyari bitegekanijwe n'umwami kugira ngo biboneke, na vyo naravyivugiye+, kandi yarabahaye ibingana n'ivyo bashoboye vyose+.

19 Kandi nimwaguma muri intahemuka kuri leta+, no hanyuma y'ivyo nzogerageza kuba inzira y'iciza+.

20Ariko ivyo ndabibabwiye, bo n'abandi bavuye iwanje, ngo baze iwanje.

21 Nugume uhema. Umwaka ijana n'umunani n'uwa mirongo ine n'umunani, ni umusi ugira mirongo ibiri na kabiri w'ukwezi kwa Dioscoritiyo.

22 Ikete ry'umwami ririmwo aya majambo: Umwami Antiyokusi abarira Lysia+ mwene wabo ati: 23 Ko Data ahindurwa mu mana, ivyo dutegerezwa ni uko abo mu karere kacu baguma bacereje, kugira ngo umuntu wese yitaba ivyo yigeneye+.

24 Turatahura kandi yuko Abayuda badakwiye kwemera se+ kubera ko bajanwa mu migenzo y'abanyamahanga, ahubwo bahisemwo kuzigama ubuzima bwabo bwite+; kuko ari co gituma badusaba, ni ukugira ngo tubaho twisunga amategeko yabo bwite+.

25 Mu vy'ukuri, umuzirikanyi wacu ni uko iryo hanga rizoruhukira+, kandi twariyemeje kuzobagarukana urusengero rwavyo+, kugira ngo babeho bisunga imigenzo ya ba sekuruza+.

26 Uzokora neza rero kubatumako+ kandi ubaha amahoro+, kugira ngo igihe vyemewe mu muzirikanyi wacu bibe uruhoza rwiza+, kandi bazokwama banezerewe ku vyerekeye ivyabo+.

27 Ikete umwami yandikiye ihanga ry'Abayuda ryatanguye inyuma y'iryo jambo: Umwami Antiyokusi atuma ku nama n'abandi Bayuda kuramutsa+ n'abandi Bayuda.

28 Nimba bishoboka, turafise icipfuzo cacu+; Na twebwe turafise amagara meza.

29 Meneriyo atumenyesha yuko icipfuzo cawe cari ugusubira i muhira no gukurikira igikorwa cawe bwite+.

30 Kuko abazovayo bazogira inyifato itabereye gushika ku musi ugira mirongo itatu w'i Xantanthiko+.

31 Abayuda bazokoresha inyama zabo bwite n'ivyagezwe vyabo nk'uko vyahora. Kandi nta n'umwe muri bo azokwa ku bw'ibintu vy'ukutamenya.

32 Nanje natumye na Menelaus, kugira ngo abehoza+.

33 Mugume neza. Mu mwaka ijana na mirongo ine n'umunani, n'umusi ugira cumi na gatanu w'ukwo kwezi kwa Xanthiko.

34 Vyongeye, Abanyaroma babarungikira ikete ririmwo aya majambo: Quinto Memmiyo+ na Tito Manliyo, ba ambasaderi b'I Roma, barungikira abantu b'Abayuda.

35 Ivyo uwo muvyara+ w'umwami, na vyo nyene biratunezereza+.

36 Mugabo ku bw'ivyo yakoze ku buryo yaciriye urubanza umwami+ inyuma y'aho mwagira inama, nimurungike+ umwe muri mwebwe, kugira ngo tubamenyeshe ko ari vyiza+ kuri mwebwe; kuko ubu tugiye i Antiyokiya+ turaja i Antiyokiya+.

37 Nuko mutume bamwe bihuta+, kugira ngo tumenye umuzirikanyi wawe+.

38 Farewell None None Ukwo ni ko umwaka ijana n'umunani n'uwa mirongo ine, ni umusi ugira cumi na gatanu w'ukwo kwezi kwa Xanthiko.

IKIGABANE CA 12 1 Ayo masezerano amaze gushika, Lysiasi aja ku mwami; Abayuda na bo bari ku bijanye n'ubugabo bwabo.

2 Mugabo ku ntwaro y'ibibanza bitari bike, Timotheyo+ na Apoloni+ mwene Genneyo na Hieronymu+ na Demofon+, kandi iruhande yabo Nikari+ buramatari w'i Shipure, ntibobababara ngo babe bace mu mahoro.

3 Abagabo b'i Yopa na bo nyene barakoze igikorwa c'ukutubaha Imana+; basabira Abayuda baba hagati muri bo ngo bajane n'abagore babo n'abana babo mu mato bari bateguye, nk'aho ata co babatwarako+.

4Ayakira nk'uko vyari bisanzwe biri mw'itegeko rimwe ry'igisagara, nk'uko vyari bitegekanijwe, ngo babe mu mahoro, ntihagire ico bacikeka; mugabo bamaze kuja mu kigeragezo, ntibarenga amajana abiri muri bo.

5 Yuda ngo yumve ivyo bintu vy'ubugasoni yakoreye bene wabo, ategeka abari kumwe na we ngo babategurire.

6 Maze atakambira Imana umucamanza w'umugororotsi+, aza kurwanya abo bicanyi ba bene wabo+, aturira nya bwato mw'ijoro+, kandi ashira nya mato ku muriro+, n'abahunga na bo aca yica+.

7 Maze igisagara kibugaye, aca asubira inyuma+ nk'aho yosubiye kurandura imizi bose bo mu gisagara ca Yopa+.

8 Ariko yumvise ko Abakomuni biyumvira kubigenza nk'uko Abayuda baba hagati muri bo,

9 Mw'ijoro na ho, ashika kuri bene Jamni+, ashira umuriro kuri nya kambi y'abasirikare n'ubwato bwo mu mazi+, ku buryo umuco w'umuriro+ wabonetse i Yeruzalemu ku bishimaryari amajana abiri na mirongo ine.

10Bava mu nzira baja i Timotheyo, nta bantu bari munsi y'ibihumbi bitanu n'abagendera ku mafarasi amajana atanu y'Abarabu bamushirako.

11 Habaye urugamba rukaze+; Ariko yuda afashijwe n'Imana aratsinda; 13 Nuko rero, aba n'abarozi bo muri Arabiya+ baratsinzwe+ basaba Yuda ngo bamuhe amahoro, amusezeranira ko yomuha inka, no kumuryosharyosha ubundi buryo.

12 Maze Yuda yiyumvira vy'ukuri yuko bobaye ngirakamaro muri vyinshi, abaha amahoro; bano baranyiganyiga iminwe, baca baja mu mahema yabo.

13Aragenda kandi kugira ngo akore ikiraro mu gisagara gikomeye cari gisumbiriwe n'ibihome, kikaba cikujwe n'abantu bo mu bihugu bitandukanye; Cari casos cass.

14 Mugabo abari muri co bari bizigiye ububasha bw'impome+ n'intunganyo z'imigabo+ ku buryo bibagirira nabi+ ku bo bari kumwe na Yuda, batyoza no kurogota+ amajambo nk'ayo+ atari akwiye kuvugwa+.

15 Igihe Yuda yari kumwe n'ishengero ryiwe, atabaza Umukama ahambaye w'isi+, ata n'amapfizi y'intama canke imikogote y'intambara yatishije y'i Yeriko mu gihe ca Yosuwa, akubita ibihome+, 16 Maze nya gisagara kidugana n'ukugomba kw'Imana+, maze gitangura kubaga ubwicanyi butavugwa+, be n'uko ikiyaga c'ikiyaga c'ikiyaga cari cagutse cane hafi y'igitanto cuzuye, gisozera, gitwarwa n'amaraso+.

17Bava inyuma y'imbombo amajana indwi na mirongo itanu, bashika i Chara, ku Bayuda bita Tubini.

18 Mugabo Timotheyo, ntibamubona mu bibanza; kuko ata kintu na kimwe yabanje kurungika, ava aho hantu, asiga ikirindiro gikomeye cane+ mu kibanza kanaka.

19 Howbeit Dositoito na Sosipater+ bari abo mu ba kapiteni b'abaMakabeyi+ barasohoka, bica bica abo Timotheus yari yasize mu gihome, hejuru y'abantu ibihumbi cumi+.

20 Maccabeyo ajana ingabo ziwe mu mirwi, ashira hejuru y'iyo migwi, hanyuma atangura kurwanya Timotheyo+ yari afise abantu ibihumbi ijana na mirongo ibiri b'amaguru, n'abagendera ku mafarasi ibihumbi amajana atanu.

21 Timotheyo amaze kumenya ko Yuda azoza, atuma abagore n'abana n'abana n'abandi bagura igihome gikomeye citwa Carniion, kuko ico gisagara cari kigoye kugisukiza, kandi kiguma kigoye kuza, kubera aho hantu hose cari gikaze.

22 Mugabo Yuda, umugwi wiwe wa mbere+, igihe abansi bakubitwa n'ubwoba n'ubwoba bivuye ku kuboneka kw'umwe abona ibintu vyose+, ahunga amani+, umwe yiruka muri ubwo buryo, uwundi na we abigira gutyo, nk'uko akenshi bababazwa n'abantu babo bwite+, kandi bakomerekejwe n'ingingo z'inkota zabo bwite+.

23 Yuda na we nyene yari afise umwete mwinshi mu kubakurikirana, yica izo nkozi z'ibibi, muri zo yica abantu nk'ibihumbi mirongo itatu.

24 Mugabo Timotheyo ubwiwe agwa mu maboko ya Dosito+ na Sosipari, abo yasavye n'ububaji bwinshi, ngo bamureke agende, kuko yari afise benshi mu bavyeyi b'Abayuda, be na bene wabo na bamwe muri bo, bano bakaba bamwica, ntibakwiye kubonwa+.

25Amaze kubasubiriza umutima mu nda amajambo menshi, ngo azobisubize ata kibi agiriye, nk'uko vyavuzwe n'amasezerano, baraheza bamurekura ngo akire bene wabo.

26 Maze Makabe atangura urugendo aja i Kariniion+ no mu rusengero rwa Atarkari+; aho ni ho ashikana abantu ibihumbi bitanu na mirongo ibiri+.

27 Maze amaze kubahunga, arabatikiza, yuda avana nya ngabo i Efuroni, igisagara gikomeye, muri ubwo Lysiase n'ubwinshi bw'abantu b'imiswi y'amashine; kandi nya basore b'abanyenkomezi bagumye bazigama impome, babakingira bimwe bikomeye: ahari n'ivyuma vyinshi vy'ivyuma be n'ibishobisho binini vy'ivyuma.

28 Mugabo Yuda n'ishengero ryiwe+ bamaze guhamagara Imana Mushoboravyose+, umwe akoresheje ububasha bwiwe amenagura ububasha bw'abansi biwe+, baratsinda ico gisagara, bica bica abantu ibihumbi mirongo ibiri na bitanu muri bo+ bari imbere+.

29 Bavayo, baja i Sitiyopoli+, na yo ikaba ari iy'imetero amajana atandatu uvuye i Yeruzalemu+, 30 Mugabo Igihe Abayuda baba ng'aho bari barashingiye intahe yuko Abatiyopiya babigiranye urukundo+ na bo, babashira ubuntu mu gihe c'amarushwa yabo+.

31Babaha ugukenguruka, babashira umutima mwiza; nuko bashika i Yeruzalemu, umusi mukuru w'imisi mikuru y'amayinga yegereje.

32 Inyuma y'iyo misi mikuru yitwa Pentekoti, batangura gutera Goryaya+ buramatari wa Idumeya+, 33Asohotse ari kumwe n'abantu ibihumbi bitatu n'abagendera ku mafarasi amajana ane.

34Kandi mu ntambara yabo, abayuda bakeyi baragandaguwe.

35 Ico gihe Dosito+ umwe wo mu nzu ya Bakireri yari ku mafarasi n'umuntu w'inkomezi, yari akiri kuri Gorgia, afata ikoti ryiwe rimukwega n'inguvu+. Vyongeye, igihe yofata uwo muntu yavumwe ari muzima, ifarasi y'i Thrasiya iza kuri we imukura ku rutugu, ku buryo Gorgiasi ihungira i Marisa.

36 Mugabo igihe bari kumwe na Gorgia+ bari bararwanye urugamba rurerure, bararushe, yuda yasavye Umukama ngo abe umufasha wabo n'umukuru w'urugamba.

37 Maze atangura kuvuga mu rurimi rwiwe bwite+, atangura kuririmba amazaburi n'ijwi rirenga+, kandi yihutira ku bantu b'i Gorgia+, atangura kuguruka.

38 Yuda akoraniriza rero ingabo ziwe, ashika mu gisagara ca Odolilam, maze ku musi ugira indwi, barahumanuye, nk'uko umugenzo wari umenyereye, babandanya isabato muri ico kibanza nyene.

39Bukeye bw'aho, nk'uko vyari vyakoreshejwe, Yuda n'ishirahamwe ryiwe baraza gufata ibiziga vy'abishwe, no kubahambana n'incuti zabo mu mva ya ba sekuruza babo.

40 Mugabo munsi y'ikoti ry'umuntu wese yishwe, basanze ibintu vy'ukuri vyyeguriwe ibigirwamana vy'Aba-Jamni+, bikaba vyari bibujijwe Abayuda biciye kw'itegeko+. Maze umwe wese arabona ko ico ari co catumye yicwa.

41 Nuko rero abantu bose baninahaza Umukama, wa Mucamanza w'intungane+, umwe yugurura ibintu vyanyegejwe+, 42 Nuko batangura gusenga+, mumwinginga ngo igicumuro cakozwe gikurwe mu vyibutso+. 18 Kandi uwo mukundwa Yuda yaremetse abantu ngo birinde igicumuro, nk'uko babonye imbere y'amaso yabo ibintu vyagiye biranguka ku bw'ibicumuro vy'abagandaguwe.

43Amaze gukoranira hamwe hirya no hino kw'ifeza ibihumbi bibiri, ayirungika i Yeruzalemu ngo atange ishikanwa ry'igicumuro, agikora ivyiza vyinshi kandi vy'ukuri, kuko yitwararika izuka.

44 Kuko iyo ataba yizigiye yuko abagandaguwe bosubiye kuzuka, vyari kuba ari ivy'ubusa kandi vyari ivy'ubusa gusenga+ ku bw'abapfuye+.

45Kandi muri ico gihe, yarabona yuko hariho iciza ku bapfira Imana, cari iciyumviro ceranda kandi ciza. Yazuye abapfuye, kugira ngo barokorwe igicumuro.

IKIGABANE CA 13 1 Mu mwaka ijana na mirongo ine n'icenda, babwira Yuda yuko Antiyokusi Erupatori yariko araza, azananye n'ububasha bwinshi mu Buyuda.

2 Kandi Lysia+ umukingira wiwe n'umutware w'ibintu vyiwe, umwe muri bo akaba afise ububasha bw'Abagiriki b'ibirenge+, n'abagendera ku mafarasi ibihumbi ijana na cumi+, abagendera ku mafarasi ibihumbi bitanu na amajana atatu, n'inzovu zibiri na mirongo ibiri na makumyabiri, n'imikogote amajana atatu yitwaje inkoho+.

3 Nuko Menelayo yifatanya na bo+ na bo+ kandi n'ubuhemu bwinshi yararemesheje Antiyokusi+, atari ku bwo kuzigama ico gihugu, ahubwo kubera yiyumviriye ko yagizwe buramatari+.

4 Mugabo umwami w'abami yimurira umuzirikanyi Antiyokiya ku bijanye n'uwo mugera mubi+, Lysia aca amenyesha umwami yuko uwo muntu ari we yatumwe n'ibibi vyose+, ku buryo umwami yategetse kumuzana i Bereya no kumwica+, nk'uko biri muri ako karere.

5 Muri ico kibanza hari umunara muremure w'amatambwe mirongo itanu, wuzuye umunyota+, kandi wari umanitse ku mpande zose umanitse mu munyota+.

6 Kandi umuntu wese yaciriwe urubanza rwo kwisonzesha+, canke yakoze ikindi caha gikomeye+, ni ho abantu bose bamushira imbere y'urupfu+.

7 Urupfu nk'urwo ni urupfu ku buryo umuntu w'umubisha apfa+, adafise vyinshi nko guhambwa kw'isi+. Cane cane e: 8 Kuko nk'aho yakoze ibicumuro vyinshi ku bijanye n'igicaniro+, umuriro n'umunyota wiwe vyari vyeranda+, aca aronka urupfu rwiwe mu minyota+.

9 Maze umwami aza afise umutima w'ikigumba+ kandi yiyerekana+ kugira arushirije gukorera Abayuda kuruta uko vyari vyaranguwe mu gihe ca se wiwe+.

10Ivyo Yuda abibonye, ategeka ishengero guhamagara Umukama ijoro n'umurango, kugira ngo nihagira ikindi kintu na kimwe abafasha, abishira mu vyagezwe vyabo, mu gihugu cabo no mu rusengero rweranda.

11Kandi ko atobabazwa n'abantu bo muri iki gihe, ariko bakaruhurirwa gatoya, kugira ngo batwarwa n'amahanga atuka Imana.

12Bamaze gukora ivyo vyose, basaba Umukama nyen'imbabazi, amarira n'ukwisonzesha, aryamye hasi imisi itatu, amaze kubahanura, ategeka ko bavyifatamwo neza.

13 Kandi Yuda, kubera yari atandukanijwe n'abagabo b'inararibonye, ashinga imbere y'uko ingabo z'umwami zija i Yudaya, kugira ngo asohoke, agerageze ico kibazo afashijwe na Yehova+.

14 Igihe rero yashinyariza Umuremyi w'isi yose+, yongera ahanura abasirikare biwe kurwana mu buryo buhimbaye+ gushika no ku rupfu+ ku bw'amabwirizwa, ku

bw'amabwirizwa, urusengero, igisagara n'igihugu+ n'umuryango wa commonwealth+, akambirwa na Modini+.

15Kandi mu kubaha ijambo ry'inderetsi kuri we, intsinzi ni iy'Imana. N'abagabo b'intwari n'abatora, mw'ijoro, yinjira mw'ihema ry'umwami, yica abantu nk'ibihumbi bine, n'umukuru w'inzovu n'abari kuri we bose.

16 Kandi bahavuye buzura ikambi bafise ubwoba n'ukugota+, bagenda baroranirwa rwose+.

17 Ivyo vyakozwe mu gihe c'ikiruhuko+, kuko uburinzi+ bw'Umukama bwamubayeko+.

18 Maze umwami amaze kworosha Abayuda ku bijanye n'ukwihebera+ Abayuda, aca atangura gufata ingingo y'ukwigumya+, 19 Maze afata urugendo aja i Betisura+, ico cari igikorwa gikomeye c'Abayuda, mugabo arahunga, arananirwa, atakaza abantu biwe+.

20 Kuko Yuda yari yarabamenyesheje abari muri co ibintu nk'ivyo vyari bikenewe+.

21 Mugabo Rhodoko, umwe yari mu ngabo z'Abayuda, ahishura amabanga y'abansi+. Ni co gituma bamurondeye, bamujana mw'ibohero.

22 Umwami agiriranira na bo i Betisum ubugira kabiri, agaha ukuboko, afata inzira, arwana na Yuda, aranesha+.

23Yumvise ko Filipo yasigaranye ivyari i Antiyokiya, yari ahenzwe cane, ashira isoni Abayuda, ashikanira n'umutima mwiza, akemera na bo, ashikanira ishikanwa, ashira icubahiro ingoro y'Imana, agirira ubuntu ico kibanza.

24 Maze yakira iriba rya Makabe+, amugira buramatari w'i Polemeyy+ gushika ku ba gerriheni+; 25 Bashika i Ptolemyais: abantu baratuntujwe n'amasezerana+; Kuko isezerano ryabo rizoba ribaye impfagusa.

26 Lysia yaraduze ku ntebe y'imanza, avuga ko ivyo bishoboka vyose kugira ngo ahagarike ico kintu, aciye ajijuka, abigiranye ubwitonzi, agatuma bagira amasanganya menshi, asubira i Antiyokiya. Umwami yaciye atangura gukora ku vy'uko umwami yari agiye, aca aragenda.

IKIGABANE CA 14 1Nyuma y'imyaka itatu, Yuda amenyeshwa yuko Demetiriyo mwene Seleko+ yinjiye mu bisagara vy'i Tripoli, afise ububasha bukomeye n'isinzi ry'abasirikare.

2 Yari yafashe ico gihugu, yica Antiyokusi+, na Lysia+ umurinzi wiwe.

3Kandi umwe Alcimusi yari umuherezi mukuru, akaba yari yarahumanije abigiranye ukwiyubara mu gihe bari bavanze n'abanyamahanga, abona ko atashoboye kwikiza, kandi atagishobora gushika kuri altari nyeranda.

4 Amaherezo, umwami Demetiriyo+ mu mwaka w'ijana na mirongo itanu, amushikiriza urugori rw'inzahabu, n'urw'ikigazi be n'ay'amashami yari amenyereye mu rusengero+, maze kuri uwo musi atangura amahoro yiwe+.

5 Nuko Rero, igihe Demetiriyo yaronka akaryo ko kuryosharyosha ubwenge bwiwe bw'ubupfu+, maze ahamagarwa n'inama na Demetiriyo+, amubaza ingene Abayuda bamerewe n'ico barondera, yishurayo ati: 6 Abo mu Bayuda yise Assideyi+, umukuru w'i Makabeya+ akaba ari Yuda Makabe, baratunga intambara, bakaba abarovyi+ kandi ntibazoreka ngo abasigaye na bo bamererwe mu mahoro+.

7 Ku bw'ivyo, kubera ko natswe iteka rya ba sogokuruza+, ico nshaka kuvuga ni ukuvuga ubuherezi buhanitse+, ubu ngira ndwane+.

8 Ubwa mbere, ndabwirizwa kwitwararika ibintu vy'agatangaza ku vyerekeye umwami+; 22 Ubwa kabiri, no ku bw'ivyo, ndarondera ineza y'abo dusangiye igihugu+; kuko igihugu cacu cose kitoba ari gitoyi+ kubera ko ata magorwa y'abafise, kubera ko ata n'umwe muri bo ari umurushwa+.

9 Vyongeye, mwami, uzobona ivyo vyose uzi+, wiyubare ku gihugu n'igihugu cacu+ gishishikara impande zose, nk'uko inganji yawe ishishikara gushikira bose+.

10 Kuko igihe cose Yuda akiriho, ntibishoboka ko leta iguma icereje.

11 Ivyo ntivyatevye kuvugwa kuri we, mugabo abandi bo mu bagenzi b'umwami+ bashizwe ku nabi+ kuri Yuda+, barushiriza kuba imibavu+ Demetriyo+.

12 Nuko atangura guhamagara Ninorri, umwe yari ahagarikye inzovu, amugira buramatari w'i Yudaya+ aramurungika.

13Mumutegetse ko yokwica Yuda, no kubashwiragiza abari kumwe na we no kugira ngo ahindure umuherezi mukuru wa rwa rusengero runini.

14 Maze nya mupfumu yari yahunze ava i Yudaya avuye i Yudaya, ashika i Nikarani biciye ku mukuku+, yiyumvira ivyago n'ivyago+ vy'Abayuda, kugira ngo bagirire neza+.

15 Abayuda bumvise ukuza kwa Nikari be n'uko nyen'ubushuhe yabaduganye, baterera isi ku mitwe yabo, batakamba uwashinze abantu biwe ibihe bitazoshira, kandi yamye afasha umugabane wiwe kwerekana ukuhaba kwiwe+.

16 Nuko ku vyagezwe vy'umukuru w'abasoda, baraheza bava mu nzira z'i buryo zigororotse, bashika hafi yabo mu gisagara ca Desau+.

17Kandi Simoni mwene Yuda, yari yifatanije urugamba na Nikanori, ariko acika intege mu gacerere k'abansi bwiwe bukwi.

18 Ariko Nikari, kubera ko yari yumvise ububisha bw'abantu bari kumwe na Yuda be n'umutima rugabo babwirizwa kurwanira igihugu cabo+, mugabo ntibagerageze inkota+.

19 Mugabo atumako Posidoniyo+ na Todoto na Matiyasi ngo baronke amahoro+.

20Bamaze kugisha inama ndende, umukuru w'ishengero yari yamenyanye; bisa n'uko bose ari ivyiyumviro bimwe, bemera amasezerano.

21 Maze bashinga umusi wo gukoranira hamwe+ na bo, kandi umusi ushitse, n'ibisagara vyashizweho ku bw'umwe muri bo.

22 Luda ashira abantu bitwaje ibirwanisho biteguriye ahantu horoshe+, kugira ngo ntihabe ubuhendanyi bukwi na bukwi+ bukwi na bukwi, bagira inama y'amahoro+.

23 Nuko Nikari+ atangura guheba i Yeruzalemu+ kandi nta co yakomeretse+, mugabo arungika abantu baje kumusuhurira+.

24 Kandi ntiyashaka gushira Yuda mu maso yiwe+, kuko akunda umuntu bivuye ku mutima wiwe+.

25Kandi aramusenga ngo atore umugore n'abana b'inkazi; nuko yubakana agacerere, agwa muri ubwo buzima.

26 Mugabo Alucimu+ amenya urukundo abafitiye+ be n'uko yiyumvira ya masezerano yashizweho, aza i Demetiriyo, amubwira yuko Nikari+, atariko agirira nabi

igihugu+; Ni co gituma yagenye Yuda umuhemu mu karere kiwe, kugira ngo abe umusubirizi w'umwami.

27 Maze umwami arashangashangasa+, atangura kubabazwa n'ibirego vy'umuntu mubi kuruta abandi bose+, yandikira Nikari, amwereka ko ababazwa cane n'amasezerano+ kandi anamubwira ko akwiye kurungika abanyororo b'i Maccabeyo ateje antiyokiya yose+ i Antiyokiya.

28 Ivyo bishitse aho Nikari yumvise, ashira isoni nyinshi mu mutima, aciyumvamwo n'ijwi ribabaza cane, kugira ngo ahindure ubusa ibintu vyumvikanyweko, nya mugabo nta co abazwa+.

29 Mugabo kubera ko ata co yagiriza umwami+, yarategereza igihe ciwe co kurangura ico kintu biciye ku ngingo+.

30 Mugabo Makabe abonye ko Nikari atangura kumushinyagura+, kandi ko yamugirira iciza+, amenya yuko mwene ukwo kugoyagoya atari vyiza+, akoranya bamwe mu bantu biwe, yikura i Ninorka+.

31Ariko uwundi yari azi ko yabujijwe na cane n'ingingo ya Yuda, yinjira mu rusengero runini kandi rweranda, ategeka abaherezi batanga ibimazi vyabo bisanzwe, ngo bamutange.

32 Mugabo igihe barondera, ntibashobora kumenya iyo uwo muntu yarondera+, 33 Araramvura ukuboko kwiwe kw'ukuryo kwiwe kw'urusengero, arahira ati: "Nimba utazonkiza ngo unkize Yuda nk'imbohe, nzoshira uru rusengero rw'Imana n'ubutaka, kandi nzomenagura igicaniro+ maze nshinge urusengero rw'agahebuza i Bayako.

34Amaze ayo majambo, aragenda. Abaherezankuka bashira amaboko hejuru y'ijuru, batakambira uwahora aburanira ihanga ryabo, ati: "Ukwo ni ko biri."

35 Wewe ga Mukama wa vyose, wewe ata co ukenye+, wahimbawe n'uko urusengero rw'aho uba+ rwagukwiye kuba muri twebwe+.

36 None rero, ewe Mukama mweranda+ w'ubweranda rwose, iyi nzu ntizokwigera ihumanye+, iyo yatyoroye+ kandi ihagarike umunwa wose utagororotse+.

37 Aho ni ho hari Razi+, umwe mu bagabo b'inararibonye b'i Yeruzalemu+, akaba yari inkunzi y'abo mu gihugu ciwe+ be n'umuntu w'inkuru nziza cane, kandi kubera ubuntu bwiwe, yitwa se w'Abayuda+.

38 Kuko mu bihe vya kera, igihe batavanganya n'abanyamahanga+, yari yagirijwe idini ry'Abayuda+, kandi asuka umutima rugabo umubiri wiwe n'ubuzima bwiwe ata bwoba ku bijanye n'idini ry'Abayuda+.

39 Nuko Nikari, atangura kumenyesha urwanko abayuda, atuma hejuru y'abantu amajana atanu b'urugamba ngo bamutore+.

40 Kuko yiyumviriye kumugirira nabi cane+, kugira ngo agirire nabi Abayuda.

41Ishengero rihejeje gufata uwo munara, rimenagurika mu muryango w'inyuma, rigacika umuriro ngo utwikire, yiteguye kujanwa impande zose zigwa ku nkota yiwe.

42 Mu guhitamwo gupfa mu buryo bubereye+, hako nokwinjira mu maboko y'ababisha+, kugira ngo bahohoterwa, hako bashima ivuka ryiwe rihambaye+.

43 Mugabo kubera ko isinzi ririhuta, na ryo nyene ririruka riri hagati mu miryango, yirukana ubutinyutsi gushika ku ruhome+ maze yisuka hasi hagati y'ubusho bw'ibishobisho vyayo.

44 Mugabo barasubira inyuma ningoga, n'ikibanza kirakorwa+, agwa hagati mu hantu h'ubusa+.

45Ariko impemu yari igifise muri we, arakaraka, aravyuka.

N'aho amaraso yiwe yatembaga nk'imishaha y'amazi, imishishagu yiwe na yo irayogoza, ariko yiruka hagati mu nduru. Agahagarara ku rutare ruheta, 46 Igihe amaraso yiwe yari aheze+, aca azimangana+ umubiri wiwe, aheza atora mu maboko yiwe yompi+, abaterera kuri nya hanga+, maze atakambira Yehova+ w'ubuzima n'impwemu kugira ngo asubire gusubiza abo bantu, ni ko yaciye apfa+.

IKIGABANE CA 15 1Ariko Nicari yumvise ko Yuda n'ishengero ryiwe bari mu bibanza bikomeye vy'i Samariya, bavyifatamwo ata ngorane yo kubashirako ku musi w'isabato.

2 Mugabo Abayuda babwirizwa kujana na we+ baravuga bati: "Ntiwihonye ubukazi n'ubugome n'ubugome, ahubwo mutere iteka uwo musi, uwo abona ibintu vyose, ahesha iteka n'ubweranda+ kuruta iyindi misi yose+.

3 Maze wa mubembe+ uguma usaba+, iyo haba umunyenkomezi mw'ijuru+ yari yategetse umusi w'isabato kugumizwa+.

4 Maze bavuga bati: "Mw'ijuru hari Umukama muzima+ kandi w'umunyenkomezi+, umwe yategetse umusi ugira indwi kugumizwa+.

5 Hanyuma uwundi avuga ati: "Ndi n'umunyenkomezi kw'isi+, kandi ntegeka gufata ibirwanisho no gukora igikorwa c'umwami+. Ariko ntiyagize ico akoze kugira ngo acumure.

6 Nicari rero, ubwibone n'ukwitangako+ bishinga icibutso c'intsinzi yiwe kuri Yuda be n'abari kumwe na we+.

7 Mugabo Mackabe yari yarigeze kwizigira adakeka yuko Umukama yomufashije+.

8Ni co gituma yaremetse abantu biwe ngo ntibatinye ukuza kw'ubushuhe bwo kubarwanya, ariko kwibuka imfashanyo bari bahawe kera bavuye mw'ijuru, no kwitega intsinzi n'imfashanyo bikwiye kubashikira bivuye kuri Mushoboravyose.

9 Kandi kubahoza rero babikuye mu vyagezwe no mu bahanuzi+, no kubashira mu muzirikanyi ku rugamba batsinzwe+, bituma barushiriza kunezerwa+.

10Amaze kuvyura imizirikanyi yabo, abashikiriza ivyo bagirizwa, abashiramwo ikinyoma c'ubushuhe n'ihonyanyura indahiro.

11Ni co gituma atwara ibirwanisho umwe wese muri bo, atari mu kwikingira inkinzo n'amacumu nk'amajambo meza, abishura indoto ibereye yo kwemera, nk'aho yoba itashimishije bake.

12 Kandi ivyo yeretswe ni ibi: Yuko Onyi+ yari umuherezi mukuru+ akaba n'umuntu w'umugororotsi+ kandi w'umunyabuntu+, ari umuherezi w'incabwenge+ mu kuvugana ubugwaneza, kandi abandanya kumenyereza umwana ingeso nziza zose, abandanya gusenga ibiganza vy'Abayuda umubiri wiwe wose+.

13 Ivyo ni ko vyabereye, haboneka umuntu afise imvi, afise imvi+ be n'ubuninahazwa bw'agahebuza+, umwe yari afise ubwiza butangaje kandi bw'agatangaza+.

14 Maze Oniniya yishura ati: "Uyo ni umukundwa+ wa bene wacu basenga cane abantu no ku gisagara ceranda+ ku bijanye n'uwukora umeny'ukuri, ari we Yeemia umuhanuzi w'Imana+.

15 Nuko Yefuni+ afata ukuboko kwiwe kw'ukuryo, aha Yuda inkota y'inzahabu+ kandi mu kuyishira mu kuvuga gutyo.

16 Fata iyo nkota nyeranda+ n'ingabirano iva ku Mana, iyo uja gukomeretsa abarwanizi+.

17 Ku bw'ivyo, kubera ko ayo majambo ya Yuda yari meza cane, arashobora kubavyurira umutima, no kuremesha imitima y'abo basore, biyemeza kudashinga ikambi, ahubwo badatinya kubashirako umutima, kugira ngo bagerageze ico kibazo n'intambara, kuko igisagara n'aheranda n'urusengero vyari mu kaga.

18 Ku bw'ivyo babungabunga abagore babo n'abana babo n'abana babo n'abavukanyi babo be n'abantu, ni bo vyabababaje cane+; mugabo ikintu gihambaye kuruta ibindi kandi nyamukuru cari urusengero rweranda+.

19 Kandi n'abari muri ico gisagara ntibateho cane+, kuko bari bahagaritse umutima kubera amatati yo mu mahanga+.

20 Ubu rero, aho bose baravye ibikwiriye kuba ikigeragezo+, abansi na bo bari bamaze kwegera, inteko za gisirikare zishizwe mu musha, n'ibikoko vyashizwe mu buryo bworoshe+, n'abagendera ku mafarasi babishira mu mababa+.

21 Mugabo Makabe abona ukuhaba kw'ishengero, n'abarwanizi batunganya ibirwanisho n'ubukazi bw'ibikoko, baramvura amaboko yiwe+ agana mw'ijuru, atakambira Yehova akora ibitangaza+ kubera azi yuko intsinzi itaje biciye ku maboko, mugabo nk'uko biboneka ko ari vyiza kuri we, ayiha ibibereye+.

22Ni co gituma yavuze mw'isengesho ryiwe, ati: Ewe Yehova, warungitse umumarayika mu gihe ca Ezekia umwami w'i Yudaya, ahitana ingabo za Senakeribu ijana na mirongo ine na zitanu.

23 Ubu rero, ewe Yehova, nutume umumarayika mwiza imbere yacu ku bw'ugutinya+ akabatinya+.

24 Kandi biciye ku kiganza cawe, abo bantu bashikwa n'ubwoba+, baje kurwanya abantu bawe beranda+ kugira ngo barogotaze+. Araheza agahera.

25 Nuko Nikari be n'abari kumwe na we batangura kuvuga inzamba n'indirimbo.

26 Mugabo Yuda n'abo mu mugwi wiwe babonana n'abansi mu gusenga no gusenga+.

27Nuko abagwanira n'amaboko yabo, bagasenga Imana n'umutima wabo, bica abantu batari munsi y'ibihumbi mirongo itatu na bitanu, kuko ishusho y'Imana bari banezerewe cane.

28 Maze, igihe urugamba rumara, basubira kunezerwa+ bari bazi yuko Nikari yari yapfuye mu musho wiwe+.

29 Maze bavuza urwamo rwinshi n'urwamo+, bashemeza Mushoboravyose mu rurimi rwabo bwite+.

30 Kandi Yuda, umwe yahora aburanira abantu ku mubiri no mu muzirikanyi wiwe+, kandi yaguma agirira neza abo mu gihugu ciwe+ ubuzima bwiwe bwose, ategeka ko akubita umutwe+, n'ukuboko kwiwe n'ukuboko kwiwe+ akabashikana i Yeruzalemu+.

31Ashitse, ahamagaza ihanga ryiwe, ashira abaherezi imbere y'igicaniro, abatuma ku bari kuri uwo munara.

32 Maze abakuramika umutwe wa Nikari+, n'ukuboko kw'uwo murogosi w'uwurogota+ yari yararanguye ku rusengero rweranda rwa Mushoboravyose+.

33Amaze guca ururimi rw'uwo nicanorri, ategeka ko bayiha ivyo binyugunyu, hanyuma bakamanika ku mpembo y'ubusazi bwiwe imbere y'urusengero.

34Nuko umuntu wese ashemeza umukama w'ubuninahazwa+ avuga ati: "Hahiriwe umuntu yazigamye ikibanza ciwe ata gihumanye+.

35 Na we nyene amanitse umutwe wa Nikarari ku munara, ikimenyetso kiboneka kandi cerekana abafashijwe na Yehova bose+.

36 Kandi bose bashinga itegeko rimwe, ntihagire n'umwe muri bo bareka uwo musi kugira ngo bagende ata kagongwe+, mugabo kugira bahimbaze umusi ugira cumi n'itatu w'ukwezi kwa cumi na kabiri, mu rurimi rw'i Siriya rwitwa Adari+, umusi utaraza kwa Mardokeyo+.

37 Niwa arawujana na Nikarani+ kandi kuva ico gihe, Abaheburayo na bo bari bafise ububasha bwabo. Aha niho nzoshira iherezo.

38 Kandi nimba nakozwe neza, kandi inkuru ibereye, ni yo nagomba+; mugabo nimba ari inyiyzo+ kandi ni yo nshoboye gushikako+.

39Kuko ari bibi kunywa umuvinyu canke amazi gusa; Kandi nk'uko umuvinyu uvanze n'amazi uryoshe, ukanezerwa n'ukuryoheshwa, ni ko n'ijwi ry'abasoma iyo nkuru rihimbaye. Kandi ng'aha hazoba iherezo.
