Abami b’Erimbere

21 Enyuma sy’emyatsi eyo, muhahuluka omwatsi mughuma owalebirye eririma ry’emizabibu eryabya rya Naboti Omuyezreeli. Eririma eryo ry’emizabibu ryabya e Yezreeli, hakuhi n’enyumba ya Ahabu omwami we Samaria. 2 Ahabu mwabwira Naboti ati: “Umbe eririma ryaghu ry’emizabibu kundi riri hakuhi n’enyumba yaghe. Ngendibya ngaheramo esyomboka sy’ebiti.* Neryo ngendikuha eririma ry’emizabibu eryuwene kulenga eryo. Kutse wamanza, ngendikuha esyofranga.” 3 Aliwe Naboti mwabwira Ahabu ati: “Ekyo sikyenditokekana. Kundi nisikirye Yehova, sinangatoka erikuha omwandu w’abotata-kulu waghe.” 4 Neryo Ahabu mwasuba ewiwe, iniabirihitana n’eribunika mutima busana n’ebinywa bya Naboti Omuyezreeli. Kundi mwamubwira ati: “Sinendikuha omwandu w’abotata-kulu waghe.” Ahabu mwaghotsera oko ngyingo yiwe inianasamalire oluhimbo, mwaghana n’erirya.

5 Omukali wiwe, ye Yezebeli, mwasa aho ali, amamubulya ati: “Ukaghana erirya busanaki? Wabiribya omo bulighe mo busanaki?” 6 Ahabu mwamusubirya ati: “Mungabwira Naboti Omuyezreeli niti anighulaye eririma riwe. Kandi mungamubwira niti amanza, iniangananiha eririma riwe, naghe inamuha erindi ririma ry’emizabibu. Aliwe mwakanibwira ati: ‘Sinendikuha eririma ryaghe ry’emizabibu.’” 7 Neryo omukali wiwe, ye Yezebeli, mwamubwira ati: “S’indi mbino n’iwe mwami we Israeli, hangana, ulye. Isiwabya omo bulighe. Ingye ngendikuha eririma ry’emizabibu rya Naboti Omuyezreeli.” 8 Neryo Yezebeli mwahandika esyobaruha omo rina rya Ahabu. Mwahira kusyo kw’akashe k’omwira wiwe, neryo amatumirasyo abasyakulu n’abakulu ababya bikere omo muyi mughumerera na Naboti. 9 Omo syobaruha esyo, mwabahandikira ati: “Mubwire abandu muti bakole amafungo, kandi mwikalaye Naboti embere sy’abandu bosi. 10 Neryo mwikalaye ebiwere-were bibiri embere siwe. Bimutsongere biti: ‘Mukatakira oMungu n’omwami.’ Enyuma sy’aho, mutwale Naboti y’ehihya w’omuyi n’erimwita omo mabwe.”

11 Neryo abandu b’omo muyi ogho Naboti abya ikeremo, abasyakulu n’abakulu, mubakola ngoko Yezebeli anabasaba erikola omo syobaruha esyo abatumira. 12 Mubabwira abandu bati bakole amafungo, bamikalya na Naboti embere sy’abandu bosi. 13 Neryo ebiwere-were bibiri nabyo mubyikala embere sya Naboti, byamatsuka eribugha muhanda oko Naboti embere sy’abandu bosi biti: “Naboti mwakatakira oMungu n’omwami!” Enyuma sy’aho, mubatwala Naboti ehihya w’omuyi, bamamwita omo mabwe. 14 Neryo mubatumira Yezebeli y’omulaghe ono: “Naboti abirikwa omo mabwe.”

15 Yezebeli mwabya abyowa ngoko Naboti abirihola omo mabwe, mwabwira Ahabu ati: “Ughende, uyimaye eririma ry’emizabibu rya Naboti Omuyezreeli, eryo aghana erikughulya, kundi Naboti syakiriho, abirihola.” 16 Ahabu mwabya abyowa ngoko Naboti abirihola, mwaya eyiri eririma ry’emizabibu rya Naboti Omuyezreeli atoke erimyaryo mo riwe.

17 Aliwe Yehova mwabwira Eliya Omutishbi ati: 18 “Uyasungane n’omwami Ahabu we Israeli, oyuli e Samaria. Abiriya omo ririma ry’emizabibu rya Naboti, atoke erimyaryo mo riwe. 19 Ukendimubwira uti: ‘Yehova ati: “Mukita omundu, kandi wamimya n’eririma riwe.”’ Kandi umubwire uti: ‘Yehova ati: “Oho syombwa siryalyatsirira omusasi wa Naboti, naghu ho sikendisyalyatsirira omusasi waghu.”’”

20 Ahabu mwasubirya Eliya ati: “Iwe nzighu yaghe, lero wamandoka basi!” Eliya mwamusubirya ati: “Ni kwenene, namakutoka. OMungu ati: ‘Kundi mukabya n’erighundu,* wamakola ebituwene omo meso wa Yehova, 21 ngendikuletera obuhanya. Ngendibirya ndeke-ndeke omwanya owali enyuma syaghu. Ngendibughaho abalume* bosi b’omo kihanda kyaghu, erihirako n’omundu oyuleghetsene n’oyutawite akaghala omo Israeli. 22 Kandi ngendikolera ekihanda kyaghu ebyo nakolera ekihanda kya Yeroboamu, mughala wa Nebati, n’ekihanda kya Baasha, mughala wa Ahiya, kundi wabirinihitania, kandi wabirileka Abaisraeli ibakola erilolo.’ 23 Yehova mwakanibwira ati nibwire na Yezebeli niti: ‘Esyombwa sikendilira Yezebeli omo kibanza ekiri e Yezreeli. 24 Obuli mundu w’omo kihanda kya Ahabu oyukendiholera omo muyi, esyombwa sikendimulya; n’obuli mundu oyukendiholera omo kisuki, esyonyunyu sikendimulya. 25 Oko kwenene, sihehatabya omundu oyo wabya n’erighundu nga Ahabu omw’ikola ebituwene omo meso wa Yehova, kundi abya akakwama ekyosi-kyosi ekyo mukali wiwe Yezebeli abya akabugha ati akole. 26 Mwakola emyatsi mibi kutsibu eyikita esyonye omw’ikolera esyosanamu esikita esyonye,* ng’eyo Abaamori bosi bakola, abo Yehova atibitako omo kihugho atoke erihakyo Abaisraeli.’”

27 Ahabu mwabya abyowa ebinywa ebyo, mwatulanga esyongyimba siwe, neryo amambala olukimba lw’esaki.* Mwakola amafungo, amaghotsera oko lukimba lw’esaki, kandi mwabya akaghenda iniabirisusumana. 28 Neryo Yehova mwabwira Eliya Omutishbi ati: 29 “Wanamalangira ngoko Ahabu abiriyikehya abyowa amalipizi agho niryabugha niti ngendimuha? Kundi abiriyekehya embere syaghe, sinendiletera ekihanda kiwe ky’obuhanya iniakineho. Ngendisyaleta obuhanya obo oko mughulu w’omughala wiwe.”
