18 Mu mwaka wa gatatu w’ubutegetsi bwa Hoseya,+ umuhungu wa Ela umwami wa Isirayeli, Hezekiya+ umuhungu wa Ahazi+ umwami w’u Buyuda yabaye umwami.

4 Ni we wakuyeho ahantu hirengeye ho gusengera,+ amenagura inkingi z’amabuye basenga, atema n’inkingi y’igiti* basenga.+ Nanone yamenaguye inzoka y’umuringa Mose yari yarakoze,+ kuko kugeza icyo gihe Abisirayeli bayitambiraga ibitambo umwotsi wabyo ukazamuka. Bayitaga ishusho y’inzoka y’umuringa.*

31 Ibyo byose birangiye, Abisirayeli bose bari aho bajya mu mijyi y’u Buyuda bamenagura inkingi z’amabuye zisengwa,+ batema inkingi z’ibiti* zisengwa,+ basenya ahantu hirengeye+ n’ibicaniro byose+ byo mu Buyuda, mu karere ka Benyamini, ndetse no mu karere ka Efurayimu no mu ka Manase,+ kugeza barangije kubisenya byose. Hanyuma Abisirayeli bose basubira mu mijyi yabo, buri wese ajya aho yari yarahawe umugabane.
