17 Nuko umuhungu we Yehoshafati+ aba ari we uba umwami, arakomera kandi agira ububasha kuri Isirayeli. 2 Yashyize ingabo mu mijyi yose yo mu Buyuda ikikijwe n’inkuta, ashyira n’imitwe y’ingabo mu gihugu cy’u Buyuda no mu mijyi yo mu ntara ya Efurayimu, papa we Asa yari yarafashe.+ 3 Yehova akomeza kubana na Yehoshafati kuko yakurikije urugero* rwa sekuruza Dawidi,+ ntashake Bayali. 4 Yashatse Imana ya papa we,+ akurikiza amategeko yayo kandi ntiyakora nk’ibyo Isirayeli yakoraga.+ 5 Yehova yafashije Yehoshafati ubutegetsi bwe burakomera+ kandi abo mu Buyuda bose bakomeje kumuzanira impano maze agira ubutunzi bwinshi n’icyubahiro cyinshi.+ 6 Yagize ubutwari akora ibyo Yehova yamusabaga,* ndetse akura mu Buyuda ahantu hirengeye+ ho gusengera n’inkingi z’ibiti* zisengwa.+
