1 Omu mwâka gwa kabiri kurhenga Yoash mugala wa Yowakazi, ali mwâmi omu Israheli, naye Amaziyahu, mugala wa Yoash abà mwâmi omu Yûda. 2 Ali akola agwêrhe myâka makumi abiri n’irhanu erhi abà mwâmi, ajira myâka makumi abiri na mwenda ali mwâmi aha Yeruzalemu. Nina izîno lyâge ye wali Yehodani, w’e Yeruzalemu. 3 Ajira ebishingânîne embere za Nyamubâho, ci konene arhali ak’îshe Daudi; muli byoshi alama ak’îshe Yoash. 4 Ci konene arhakulaga empêro zàli omu birhwa; olubaga lwanakayôrha lwahêrera omu birhwa n’okukatumbûkizayo obukù.

5 Erhi abà amayîmanza obwâmi bwâge bwinjà, arhangira okuyîrha balya bambali bayîrhaga îshe. 6 Ci konene arhayîrhaga abâna ba abôla bayîrhag’îshe nk’oku biyandisirwe omu citabu c’oburhegesi bwa Mûsa, mulya Nyamubâho ahânyire irhegeko erhi: «Ababusi barhankayîrhirwa abâna bâbo, n’abâna barhankayîrhirwa ababusi bâbo; ci konene ngasi muguma ayîrhirwa obubî bwâge». 7 Ayîrha bantu bihumbi ikumi Banya-Edomu b’omu Kabanda k’Omunyu, arhabâlira ecishagala ca Sela anacinyaga, aciyîrika n’izîno lya Yokoteli, lyo cinacijira kuhika buno.

8 Oku bundi Amaziyahu alikira entumwa emwa Yoash mugala wa Yowakazi, mwene Yehu, mwâmi w’e Israheli mpu bagend’imubwîra erhi: «Oyîshe rhubugânane». 9 Yoash mwâmi w’Israheli anacirhuma abagend’ibwîra Amaziyasi mwâmi w’e Yûda erhi: «Omushûgi gw’e Libano gwanacirhuma abâge nd’ibwîra enduluma y’e Libano erhi: mwâli wâwe ojire mugala wâni amuyanke! Lêro nsimba nguma y’omu Libano yanacigera yahonyongola gulya mushugi. 10 “Wabwinage wahima abantu b’e Edomu bw’obûla omurhima gwâwe gukola gudwîrhe gwashasharhwa. Ocihisagye ci konene obêre aha mwâwe, carhuma wacirhega obuhanya? Omanye wacîyîsa wêne haguma na Yûda”».

Yoash mwâmi w’Israheli anacirhabâla, bagwârhana boshi n’Amaziyahu mwâmi w’e Yûda, aha Beti-Shemeshi, omu Yûda. 12 Yûda ahimwa n’Israheli, bene Yûda bakalihirhira ngasi muguma omu mwâge. 13 Yoash mwâmi w’Israheli anacihima Amaziyahu, mwâmi w’e Yûda, mugala wa Yoash mugala wa Akhaziyasi amugwârhira aha Beti-Shemeshi. Anacijà aha Yeruzalemu, ahongola oku lukûta lwa Yeruzalemu nka hantu ha makoro magana anni kurhenga oku muhango gwa Efrayimu kujà ebwa muhango guli omu kafende-fende. 14 Agukumba amasholo, amarhale n’ebirugu byoshi byanabaga omu ka-Nyamuzinda kuguma na ngasi byanabaga omu mbîko y’ebwâmi, na ngasi banagwâsirwe mpira, asâbunga, ashubira e Samâriya. 15 Ebisigîre oku bijiro bya Yoash, oku ajizire kwoshi, oku ahimanyire, n’oku alwîsagya Amaziyahu, mwâmi w’e Yûda, okwôla ka kurhali kuyandike omu citabu c’Empiriri z’Abâmi b’e Israheli? 16 Yoash acîhengeka aha burhambi bw’ababusi bâge, abishwa aha Samâriya, haguma n’abâmi b’Israheli. Omugala Yerobwâmi ayîma ahâli hâge.

17 Amaziyahu, mugala wa Yoash mugala wa Yowakazi, mwâmi w’e Yûda, acilamire myâka ikumi n’irhanu enyuma ly’okufà kwa Yoash mugala wa Yowakazi, mwâmi w’Israheli. 18 Ebisigîre oku bijiro bya Amaziyahu ka birhali biyandike omu citabu c’E mpiriri z’Abâmi b’e Yûda?

19 Bamujirira obugoma aha Yeruzalemu, ayâkira e Lakishi, ci konene bàrhuma abagend’imuyîrhira eyôla Lakishi. 20 Bayisha bamubarhwîre oku nfarasi, bamubisha aha Yeruzalemu, haguma n’ababusi bâge omu cishagala ca Daudi. 21 Olubaga lwa bene Yûda loshi lwanaciyanka Azariyasi, mwâna walikola agwêrhe myâka ikumi na ndarhu ali muburhe, lwanacimujira mwâmi ahâli h’îshe Amaziyahu. 22 Ye washubig’iyûbaka Elati n’okumushubiza kuli Yûda, erhi mwâmi Amaziyahu abà amacîhengeka aha burhambi bwa ababusi bâge.

23 Omu mwâka gwa kali ikumi na kasharhu gwa okuyîma kwa Amaziyahu, mugala wa Yoash, mwâmi w’e Yûda, Yerobwâmi mugala wa Yoash mwâmi w’Israheli, abà mwâmi aha Samâriya, ashinga ho myâka makumi anni na mwâka muguma. 24 Ajira ebigalugalu embere za Nyamubâho, ajira ebyâha biri nka ebya owundi Yerobwâmi mugala wa Nebati birya ajirisagyamwo Israheli ecâha. 25 Ashubiyumanyanya embibi z’Israheli, kurhenga oku muhango gwa Hamati kuhika oku nyanja y’Araba omu kushimba akanwa ka Nyamubâho, Nyamuzinda w’Israheli, aka aderhaga omu kanwa k’omulêbi Yônà, mugala wa Amitayi, owayûbakaga e Gati-Heferi. 26 Nyamubâho ali amâbona amalibûko g’Israheli galushire olugero, emunda erhacibaga ôli mujà, ôli ntagengwa, ôli ciru n’omwîra olya wankahasha okurhabâla Israheli. 27 Nya mubâho arhalonzagya okuherêrekeza Israheli hano igulu, ahâli h’okujira ntyo, amuyôkola na Yerobwâmi mugala wa Yoash.

28 Ebisigîre oku bijiro bya Yerobwâmi, ebi ajizire byoshi, oku ahimanaga koshi, oku ashubizagya Hamati na Damasko kuli Yûda omu Israheli, okwôla ka kurhali kuyandike omu citabu c’Empiriri z’Abâmi b’Israheli? 29 Yerobwâmi acîhengeka aha burhambi bwa ababusi bâge, haguma n’abâmi b’Israheli. Omugala Zakariya ayîma ahâli hâge.
