Yeruzalemu iturirwa

Abantu bo mu Buyuda baguma baheba Yehova bagasenga ibigirwamana. Yehova yaramaze imyaka myinshi agerageza kubafasha. Yararungitse abahanuzi benshi ngo babahanure, ariko ntibabumvirije. Ahubwo baca babatwenga. None Yehova yahagaritse gute ukwo gusenga ibigirwamana?

Nebukadinezari umwami wa Babiloni yaguma atsinda ibihugu vyinshi. Igihe yatsinda Yeruzalemu ku ncuro ya mbere, yarafashe umwami Yehoyakini, abatware, abasoda hamwe n’abacura ibirwanisho, abajana i Babiloni. Yaratwaye kandi ibintu vyose vy’agaciro vyari mu rusengero rwa Yehova. Yaciye yimika Zedekiya ngo abe umwami w’Ubuyuda.

Mu ntango, Zedekiya yaragamburukira Nebukadinezari. Ariko abahanuzi b’ikinyoma n’abantu bo mu bihugu vyari bikikuje Ubuyuda, bamuhanuye ngo agararize umwami wa Babiloni. Yeremiya yamubwiye ati: ‘Niwagarariza, mu Buyuda hazoba ubwicanyi, inzara n’indwara.’

Zedekiya amaze imyaka umunani aganza, yaragararije Babiloni. Yaciye asaba abasoda ba Misiri ngo bamufashe. Nebukadinezari yararungitse abasoda biwe gutera Yeruzalemu, maze barugariza ico gisagara. Yeremiya yabwiye Zedekiya ati: ‘Yehova avuze ko niwishikana ku Banyababiloni, wewe n’iki gisagara ata co muzoba. Ariko nutishikana, Abanyababiloni bazoturira Yeruzalemu, nawe bagutware kugupfunga.’ Zedekiya yamubwiye ati: ‘Sinzokwishikana!’

Haciye umwaka n’igice, Abanyababiloni barabomoye impome za Yeruzalemu maze barahaturira. Baraturiye urusengero, barica abantu benshi, abandi ibihumbi na bo babatwara kubapfungira i Babiloni.

Zedekiya yaragerageje guhunga, ariko Abanyababiloni baramukurikiye. Bamufashe ageze hafi y’i Yeriko, baca bamuzanira umwami Nebukadinezari. Uwo mwami yaciye yica abana ba Zedekiya, Zedekiya abona. Yaranogoye amaso Zedekiya, aca amuta mu gasho, aho yahavuye apfira. Ariko Yehova yasezeraniye abantu bo mu Buyuda ati: ‘Inyuma y’imyaka 70 nzobagarukana i Yeruzalemu.’

None ni ibiki vyashikiye bamwe mu basore batwawe i Babiloni? Boba bagumye bagamburukira Yehova?
