Yosiya obu yahikize emyaka 16, akalengaho kwega omulingo oguhikire ogw’okuramya Yahwe. Obu yahikize emyaka 20, akatandika kuhwerekereza ebisisani hamu n’ebyoto bya baruhanga ab’ebisuba. Kandi Yosiya obu yahikize emyaka 26 akakora entekaniza ez’okusemeza yekaru ya Yahwe.

Omuhandiiki w’omukama arukwetwa Safani akaletera omukama Yosiya omuzingo gunu kandi yatandika kusoma ebiragiro binu omu iraka erikuhulirwa.

Omukama Yosiya akagambira Hirikiya nyakatagara omukuru ati: ‘Yahwe atubihiriirwe muno. Genda obaze nauwe kandi n’aija kutugambira ekitusemeriire kukora.’ Yahwe akabagambira eky’okukora kuraba omu nabbi omukazi arukweta Hulida, ati: ‘Abantu ba Yuda bandugireho. Nibaija kufubirwa baitu hatali omu bulemi bw’Omukama Yosiya habwokuba Yosiya ayolekere okwebundaaza.’

Baitu Yosiya obuyabasomiire Ebiragiro bya Yahwe ebikaba nibyoleka ngu basemeriire kujaguza ekiro kinu buli mwaka, akabagambira ati: ‘Nitwija kujaguza ekiro ky’Okuhingurwaho.’ Yosiya akakora entekaniza ey’okuhonga ebihongwa bingi kandi yaserra abazini ab’okuzina ha yekaru. Abantu ba Yuda bakajaguza Okuhingurwaho hamu n’Omukoro ogw’Emigati Etatumbisiibwe kumara ebiro musanju. Kandi omu Isareri yoona, hakaba hatakabahoga Okuhingurwaho okurukwingana n’oku kuruga omu busumi bwa Samuiri. Yosiya mali yagonzaga muno Ebiragiro bya Ruhanga. Iwe ogonza kwega hali Yahwe?
