Ku yaagiitsire yaagyenda yaashengyera amaarwa maingi yaagaijuza enju, yaatuma abanyaruganda na batabani be okwija kushemererwa nawe. Kwonka tareetsire Ishe-Katabaazi owaabaire amuri haihi, akenda kumuhena n'amuhoora. Hoona akagabwa naakimanya ngu mutaahi we akora ebyo kworeka muranga ku Ishe-Katabaazi yaitsirwe ogw'enda. Omu rwita waabo abashaija ku baabaire bari omu ishaazi aha njoga y'amaarwa, lshe-Katabaazi aija naaceeceeba ashitama omu karugu ahantu ahi baabaire baakwatsize enyaama zoona. Mbwenu agyenda ayereeba omuri nyashagama agyekuringamu, arambiramu ayekabisa gwomamu. Ku baheza kukama ente, nyineeka agambira omutabani kuhanika enyama. Omutabani aimuka akwata ekivune akihanika, agaruka akwatakwata omu nyama kwihamu ekindi kivune. Omu kukwata, akwata okuguru kwa Ishe-Katabaazi naakweta enyama.

Harugaho omuntu omwe, ati, "Rwata mishi ka yaaza kuturiisa kubi enyama yaitu. Mbwenu murekye omuntu ogu tumutware tumunagye ah'abantu batakira kuhika. Rubura ogu aryagambwa oha?" Boona ngu, "Haza kwo, atatubeera obuhano."

Mpaho bareeta ekirago bakimutamu bakoma ahamutwe n'aha bigyere abatsigazi bana bamutembeitura bamurabya omu kisheeshero. Ku bahika aheeru bamutamu engata bamwekorera, mpora mpora bamutwara, bamureeba ahagati omu kisharara bamuhingikamu bagaruka.

Omukazi amuhaya amugira ati, "Imuka shi nkwikarire obuguru bukwere ahagati y'abashaija bagyenzi baawe mbaba."

Haimuka Ishe-Katabaazi naayezirika naayezirikura aza kufukaana n'ogwo mukazi w'enda. Batyo batayo omukazi aija amureetsire amuta okuzimu owaishe butaka amutambuuka.

Ishe-Katabaazi n'Ekigano  kye

Obundi Ishe-Katabaazi akaba aine omutabani nibagyenda. Ku baabaire bari aho, baareeba enyaruju neecwekanisa omuhanda. Omutabani ati, ''Ai bambel Taata otaribata enyaruju ngigi." Ishe atyo ainama agikwata agita omu ishokye rye. Omutabani amugira ati, "Taata k'otiina enjoka n'ebindi bikooko mbwenu k'otaarikutiina nyaruju?" Onu ati, "Manya enyaruju eba mukama w'enyamaishwa, kandi abantu n'enyamaishwa beitamu ekitiinisa ahakuba enyaruju niyo etegyeka enyamaishwa zoona. lwe orareebire abantu nibaita enyaruju?" Katabaazi agarukamu ishe ati, "Manya shi naanye obutoosha ntangaara munonga okureeba abantu batagyeteireho. Tongambira eki bagyetera omukama w'enyamaishwa?" Ishe amugarukamu ati, "Hariho ekigano nkaakikuganiire, kwonka nintiina ngu abagyenzi batatutwara, bashanga nitugana omu ihangwe?"

Mbwenu ku baataahire, Katabaazi yaagira ishe ati, ''Taata reeba mbwenu ni nyekiro ninyenda ongambire nk'oku  enyaruju  yaayemekirwe  kuba  omukama w'enyamaishwa, ahakuba ngira nti ekicuncu nikyo mukama w'enyamaishwa zoona." Ishe amugira ati, "Iwe shi otateta tihariho enyamaishwa empango etarikubaasa kutiina kicuncu nk'enjojo nari omugoye?"

Ntakusiibiizeyo, mwana wangye, ekigano eki nkakiganirwa abakuru nkiri muto. Tega amatu okihurire. Ira     muoonga, enyamaishwa zikaba ziine omugabe waazo orikwitegyeka orikwetwa Bboobbo. Eky'obusaasi bambe akaba atazaire mwana weena kuhungurira entebe y'obugabe. Mbwenu Bboobbo ku yaareebire ari haihi n'okutaasya, yaayeta enyamaishwa zoona enkye n'empango okwija kuhurira okuraga kwa mukama waazo. Haija embogo, haija empitsi, haija enjoka zoona na buri ibara nyamaishwa ekaija omu ruteerane oru n'ebicuncu n'enyaruju bitabuziremu.

Mbwenu ku byaherize kwerundaana, mukama  w'enyamaishwa yaija,yaashutama ahagati yaabyo yaareeba ngu buri ruganda rw'enyamaishwa ruriho. Yaagira ati, "Nimuhurikirize naaza kubagambira. Byona biti ee! Ati "Baana bangye, nk'oku murikundeeba nkuzire mpwaireyo, kandi nindeeba ngu ndi haihi n'okutaasya. Kwonka n'obu ndikufa, naafa ntaine mwana orikubaasa kuza aha ntebe y'obugabe bwangye obu bwona. Kwonka hoona tindikubatsiga mutaine mugabe, naanye niinyenda ku mureebaho ntakafire. Kandi omugabe ogwo naija kuruga omuri imwe."

"Kundikumutoorana naamutaho nimunyetomboitera kandi ku ndikugira nti mutoorane omwe omuri imwe nihabaho obweme, nimumaranaho. Eki nteekateekire ekirikubamara amaiko nikyo eki; entebe y’obugabe ngitwaire naagita Karagwe aha mugongo Ikaranzyo. N'ahabw'ekyo nihaija kubaho empaka z'okwiruka, orikubanza kushitamaho biri niwe Mugabe orikuza omu bigyere byangye. N'ahabw'ekyo, nyenkyakare mugarukye aha mutandikye empaka z'okwiruka." Enyamaishwa zoona ngu, "Eego twahurira kandi waatunanura." Bityo biyaabuuka bigaruka omu macumbi gaabyo. Ku busheesha engoma bagikoraho, ensi etengyeeta. Reero hashanguruka  enyamaishwa, zeetuura aho. Enyaruju egyenda mpora ekwata aha ihira ry'akami katabimanyire Bboobo ku aija azeemerera ahagati ati, "Mweteekateekye, mweteekateekye, mugyendel" Aya ya-ya-ya-ya, haza hakina enyamaishwa zoona kuza kutangatanganira entebe y'obugabe. Haza igira iti, rigi­ rigi-rigi-r:igt, akacuucu kazigwa enyima. Akashana ku kaza kutagata akami kairagara omumaisho haza kagira enyaruju aha ihira.

Ku  buba  kishana  kya  nyomwabazyo,  katandika kuruha,karugaho kahuumura kagwejegyera. Ku kaba kari aho kahurira endigito y'ezindi nyamaishwa, haimuka ko kati Nda-a-a-a.

Haija ko, kukaba nikaza kutaho ekibunu enyaruju ekagira eti, "Manya niinye naakubanza aha, n'obugabe n'obwangye."

 Akami kareeba kashoberwa oku enyaruju yaarahuka kukatangaho. Enyamaishwa zoona ku ziija ishanga enyaruju       eshutami nk'omugabe  weena, zitangirira, zirugaho zishagarira omugabe waazo zimuhitsya Bboobbo.

Katabaazi ku yahuriire eki kigano kyamushemeza, okuruga obwo yaamanya enyaruju ku eba mukama w'enyamaishwa zoona.

 

 

Ishe-Katabaazi na Batebukana

Omu kyanga kimwe kya Nkote hakaba hatwiremu omushaija eiziina rye riri Batebukana. Akaba ari endyarya y'eihano etakareebwaga. Akagyenda yaahinga omusiri gw'obwo tibwayera bwareeta ikundura. Mbwenu ku yaabushaarwire yaagambira omukazi we kubuhuura. Ku yaabuhwire omweziga gwabwo yaagukoma eibenga yaarita aho. Omukazi we yaamubuuza ati, "Beitu, ow'omwaitu, omweziga oyenda kuguta hi? Hoona naiwe ohebya, emboga noozirondera omu mweziga?" Iba amugarukamu ati, "Obu naakoma eri ibenga orabureebe ntaareeta ekivune ky'ente." Omukazi amugarukamu ati, "Hoona ku waahuriire ngu ente ikashaaga zigurwa omweziga? Shana noogura n'empumi.'' Iba amugarukamu ati,''Beitu shi naakugira nti ogunyekorereho,onduhireho ki?"

Ku busheesha ibenga rye ry'omweziga ariha engata agyenda, obwo agira entanda y'emyate y'oburo tegira kaboga.

Reero Ishe-Katabaazi ente ze ku zaapumpwire ku zaafa munonga yaarundana amagufa gaazo yaagaanika. Abantu baamushekyerera ngu, "Mbwenu atateta amagufa hoona aryagazagiza?" Ku gaayomire yaagakoma

 omutwaro yaaguta aho. Omu biro ebyo omwa Ishe­ Katabaazi ente ziherize kufa bakaba bataine byokurya. Enjara ku yaayeyongyeire kuba kubi, Ishe-Katabaazi yaayekorera amagufa    yaaza kushaka oburo. Haza yaakoma entanda y'omukaro etaine ky'okugiriisa atyo yaagyenda. Mpaho omwe yaimuka omu kasheeshe n'ondi yaaba nikwo yaagira. Ku buba buri omu ihangwe Ishe­Katabaazi ashanga Batebukana ahuumwire yaabohorora entanda ye etagira mboga. Na lshe-Katabaazi ahuumuza, ebiruhuuko biza ahaiguru, aramutsya Batebukana.

Ku areeba aine entanda y'oburo amanya ngu omushaija ogu naabaasa kumurangira ah'okushaka oburo, ati, "Ndangira ahantu owaanyu ah'oburo buri. Manya ngira emikaro y'enyama. Ente zangye ikahwaho, nza kuronda oburo, enjara n'ey'okutuheza." Batebukana ati, "Kandi okuninkiza hi naiwe nookiza hi? Ka twaza kutambirana. Kandi nyowe ninkirenga aha?" Ishe-Katabaazj ati, "Ka turye entanda zaitu, kwonka nyine enyama y'emikaro etagira kantu." Batebukana ati, "Manya naanye ngira emyate y'oburo etaine kaboga. Rereera twakira." Baza aho barya oburo babukwatsa enyama enaku zikwata omugongo.

Ku  baaherize  kurya  lshe-Katabaazi  amugira ati, "Okurya twariire beitu nitugurana tuta?" Onu amugarukamu ati, "Iwe shi waaba nooyenda kuramuza nk'onanukire weena? Nyowe omutwaro gwawe ningusiima. Eki ndikwenda n'enyama y'okuriisa oburo bwangye." Ishe-Katabaazi ati, "Nyowe shi nkaba kifeera ki, ntsiga omutego ogutoorize kandi nza kushuura?"

Ebyo ku byahwaire buri odyarya yaatwara omutwaro gwa mugyenzi we ahatari kusimoimuraho kureeba ekikomirwemu. Batebukana ati, "Ondamukize ab'owaanyu." Ondi ati, "Ondeebere ab'okwo." Ishe­ Katabaazi ku yaarugire aho tarairukire akareeta eihano, akairuka obutareeba nyima, ngu Batebukana atareeba amagufa akaija akamwaka oburo bwe. Na Batebukana airuka akacuucu kamwezingirira ngu mugyenzi we atamwaka enyama ye. Kandi shi obu yaagiriireho, n'ori akarya aha buro, buri muntu akatunga endozo nungi.

Batebukana ku yaatandikire naataaha omutwaro yaaguhuumuza endugu omu kishengye, yaayeta omukazi we yaamugira ati, "Bamukunda, nkucwere enfumu?" Onu ati, "Eego." Amugira ati, "Akafunzi kakamira orusenene rwakaniga kati ebishi ngira ekiniga kibi nkaamira orundi."

Na Ishe-Katabaazi ku yaataahire yaahika naayesiima ku yaareeta omushako. Omu mwabazyo ow'enyama abohorora ashanga amagufa gonka! Ow'oburo ashanga guba omwezjga! Abashaija abo bombi bakagobezana, nikyo oreebera Abanyankore nibagira ngu, "Endyarya ahenwa endyangatanisa."

 

 

 

Obu Ishe-Katabaazi yaashendesa Omukazi

Bataahi ba Ishe-Katabaazi bakateeraho munonga okumwihura ahakuba akatema engundu ye yaagirya wenka. Mbwenu omushaija mutaahi we akatema engundu ye yaagyenderera kugiima lshe-Katabaazi. Mbwenu ku baaherize kugibaaga, enyama baarunda omu nju. Nyineeka yaashara enyama yaatsiira bataahi be, kwonka tiyaatsiira lshe-Katabaazi. Kandi akaba yaagambiire ab'omuka ye boona ati, ''Tindikwenda kureeba lshe-Katabaazi aha muryango gwangye, kandi nimwijuka obundi owa nanka bakagimwima yaija yaabeiha omukazi we baagirya nawe, n'ahabw'ekyo iwe mukazi we Kemitaasyo omwerinde."

Kwonka obu bagira ebi, Ishe-Katabaazi abayo acwa obwengye bw'okugirya nabo. Mbwenu aguma naaranzya nyineeka okurugamu akakora eki ateekateekire. Obunaku bw'okweshera ku buhika, nyineeka aihayo eicumu rye aza kweshera. Ku yaatandikire naateera eka amabega, zireeta lshe-Katabaazi na nyabwira bwe, aija ayemerera enyima y'eka, ayeta mpora ati, "Kemitaasyo, Kemitaasyo!" Onu amwetabuka ati, "Ai" Ishe-Katabaazi amugambira omu iraka rikye ati, "Naatsyamuka kutsiga naagira eki naakushoboorora, ahakuba rubura Ishe­ Katabaazi tarikubura kwija kutsiisa obu naabaaga. Ku araabe yaizire omuheereza enyama enkye eri aho eshazire agitware, hoona naanye mpemukye nkawe?"

Omukazi amugarukamu ati, "Nikwo naahurira!" Mbwenu Ishe-Katabaazi agumayo akaanya kakye kandi ayeta omukazi omu iraka nk'eryabanza ati, "Kemitaasyo, Kemitaasyo!" Onu amwetabuka. Amugira ati, "Ngaaha mbwenu  naateekateeka ebindi.  

Ku araabe yaizire omworekye ekivune kyona akyekorere akitware. We tarikyenga ngu nimukiniika? Kwonka ku araije okimuhe reeba naaza kweeshera." Ku haahingwireho omwanya hareetana Ishe-Katabaazi ataaha omu nju aramutsya Kemitaatsyo amugira ati, "Baro shi yaaza hi?" Omukazi amugarukamu ati, "Yaaza kweshera, kandi yaatsiga yandagira ku nkworeka enyama yaawe." Onu shi ati, "Erahi?" Ati, "Reeba ekivune nkikyo ngu okitware." Heezirika Ishe-Katabaazi akitwara akishohoza, akiha engata akituura omwe.

Mbwenu nyineeka ku aruga ah'eiziba omukazi azaho amuteekyerereza ati, "Nk'oku waagamba ku waatandika noorugaho, Ishe-Katabaazi yaija naamuha ekivune ki wandagiira yaakitwara." Omushaija amubuuza n'ekiniga ati, ''Rwata waagira ota? Waaha lshe-Katabaazi enyama yangye? Reero ka mureebe naakuragiira ryari kumuha enyama?" Omukazi amugarukamu ati, "Tiiwe shi waagaruka okandagiira kumuha enyama nkye, bwanyima okahindura oti, 'oije omuhe ekivune!"' Zitimbiza aho nyineeka akuteerera ogw'omukazi amutuntumura, ataaha owaabo. Ekyabaire kikira lshe-Katabaazi obwengye kikaba kirwara.

 

 

Obu Ishe-Katabaazi yaanyagisa Bagyenzi be

Obundi n'obundi lshe-Katabaazi akaba aimuka omuka ye agyenda haza ab'omuka ye batarikumanya omuhanda gwamutwara. Eizooba rimwe akaimuka omu kwezi kwa Kyabahezi yaagyenda hataine ou agambiire, yaagituura ebiro bingi, yaarugaho yaarugayo. Ku yaabaire ari omu muhanda naagaruka yaashanga bataahi be nibaruga kweshera, bamuramutsya bamubuuza bati, "Beitu okaba oburiire hi. Ka twasherwire ogwakutwaire gukatushobera. Iwe hoona totugambira? Ku ogwayo manya tugira ahi twakusherurira!"

Nawe abagarukamu ati,"Ebyo ninduga omu rurembo kutabaara. lmwe nkabagambire ki obu muba abantu babisi b'ebinyampanga abatenda kutabaara. Nyowe shi okutabaara nkugamba ki obu kwankwatsize eka?"

Bamubuuza bati, "Omu rurembo nibaita gaahi?” Abagarukamu ati,"Omugabe asingire. Obu mbaire ndiyo mbubu ataireho ekiragiro ekitangaarize boona. Nikigira ngu oine ente ashemereire kwonesa eki kiro emisiri yoona y’emigusha emuhereire, ngu ahakuba we amazire ebiro bingi atakinywa ha muramba. Itwe ababaire bamwine  tumukwatsire amaguru kwonka yaayanga. Mbwenu buri muntu amuragiire kugaruka omu kyanga ky'owaabo okureeba ngu eki Omugabe aragiire nikikorwa. Ebyo naanye nimbagambira mweteekateekye kushohoza ente zaanyu omuitumbi. Ku ndaaze kwigura nimwija kuhurira naabeeta na imwe mutandikye. Kwonka mutagambira bakama b'emisiri." Bataahi be ngu, "Twahurira, hoona shi nitubaasa kugomera ekigambo ky'Omugabe weena?" Ku bwaizire ente zaataaha, baakinga baakama.

Ku baaherize baatemba ebitabo byabo baabyama ahakuba bakaba nibenda kwimuka nyekiro. Mbwenu Ishe-Katabaazi ku yaabariire omu itumbi baimuka we n'omutabani baimutsya bataahi baabo, baatandika kwigura emihingo baagimara omu iremho, baashohoza ente, baazituura omu misiri y'emigusha haza baariisa.

Ishe-Katabaazi we ku yaaherize kwigura emihingo yaagaruka yaakinga, ente ze tizaashohora, yaagarukayo yaabyama. Mbwenu omu kasheeshesheeshe zireeta bakama b'emisiri bashanga emisisri y'emigusha ekatabarwa kare, emisiri neeshusha entabire. Batangata amacumu gaabo kutwarana n'abaabooneseza nkana. Nabo babatwariza gye babagambira ku kiri ekiragiro ky'Omugabe ku kireetsirwe Ishe-Katabaazi. Baija beeturira Ishe-Katabaazi bashanga ente ze ziri omu kibuga hataine n'emwe eshohoire. Ku babuuza lshe­Katabaazi abateera abatimbira abaranga akooma, ati, "Reero yaimwe nimureebe! Nimufe n'abo abumwashanga ente zaabo niiboonera, nyowe haza mundugyeho." Ku baruga aho, enkaito zaabo bazita omu bigyere bagyenda bo beetuurira omugabe bamuteekyerereza. Abagarukamu ati, "Bashaija bangye naaza kubaheereza abagaragwa mugyende nabo. Ku muraashangye booneise emigusha nk'oku mwangambira haza bakama b'ente mubanyagye ente zaabo zoona muzindeetere. Abagaragwa ku baizire baashanga n'abaayoneise batarikwehakana, ente zaabo baazinyaga nk'oku itura, baazitwarira Omugabe. Nabo abaayonesezibwe baabaha ente buri muntu ente ikumi. Reero Ishe-Katabaazi atsigara okubakuneetera, obwo naabareeba nibafa kubi.

 

 

Obu Ishe-Katabaazi yaayemanyiiza

Obundi lshe-Katabaazi akashitama yaateekateeka munonga yaareeba ngu niwe akitsigaireho, ahakuba abandi bakafa kare baamutsigaho. Ku yaarugire aho, yaaza omu rubungo rw'ente ze haabyama we yaagwejegyera. Abaabaire bariho baamugira ngu, "lshe Katabaazi ka waabyama omu rubungo rw'ente. Obuzire ekitabo omu nju omu?"

Ka mbe ninyemanyiiza bashaija mwe.” Boona baamushekyerera mbu, "Hoona okwo t'okwekungurira!"

Omu kicweka kimwe hakaimuka omubyamo gwaita ente, gwaita embogo, gw'ataho n'ebishwaga, buzima gwanaabisa abatungi abaabaire baine amasyo. Mbwenu Ishe-Katabaazi ku yaabaire ari aho na bataahi be, bahurira enkuru mbi neebahikaho. Ku baaherize kumanya omubyamo ku guherizeho ente omu bicweka bya hare baaza aho baashoberwa eki baraakore. Ku bwaseesire, Ishe-Katabaazi yaihayo          eicumu rye, n'ogwamutwara tibaagumanya. Ku yaatekyerereza kabiri   yaagaruka yaateekyerereza abashaija bagyenzi be ati, "Mbaire ngire ow'omushaija munywani wangye Rwamutakitwa, naashanga Abahima baayo        baine omuringo gutakareebwaga gurikutamba omubyamo obuhano." Banu ngu, "Beitu shi ogwo ni muringo ki nari ni mubazi ki ogurikutamba omubyamo?" Abagarukamu ati, "Nibakwata buri nte bagishara orurimi. Eki kandi nkyereebeire n'eritsho ryangye. Nyowe eki ndikwenda kukora omu kasheeshe nibutaagurukana n'okukwata ente zangye zoona nkazishara endimi zaazo.'' Bagyenzi be bamugarukamu bati, "Iwe shi koorahonore itwe nitwesiga ki? Ka tuzishare tureebe."

Abashaija abo ku baarugire aho baataaha omu maka gaabo. Eky'okushara buri nte orurimi kikabakiikamira munonga. Ku bwabaire omu itumbi, lshe-Katabaazi yaimutsya omutabani Katabaazi baihayo obuta n'ebirasho n'amacuba baashohora baakwata ebimasha baabirasha, eshagama baagita omu macuba. Ku baaherize kurasha baakwata ente zoona baazisiiga eshagama omu kanwa, baaheza baagaruka omu nju. Mbwenu ku bwabaire nibuyangayanga buti, bataahi be baija baamwetuurira bati, "Mugyenzi weitu ente ka zaaturema okuzishara endimi." Ishe-Katabaazi abagarukamu ati, "Timurikureeba ezangye oku naazishara?" Ku baza kugira bati bareeba eminwa y'ente ze zoona eine eshagama. Bagira ngu buzima kwo eza Ishe-Katabaazi yaazishara endimi. Bakuba bagarukayo bakwata emitsyo yaabo baashara orurimi rwa buri nte baheza. Akashana ku kaza kutagata ezaabo zifa zihwaho, eza lshe-Katabaazi azitamu enkoni iseetuka!

Haija bataahi be bamwetuurira abagira ati, "Nimukaate, shana ezaanyu mwazishara kubi nikyo zafeera." Okuruga aho bamanya Ishe Katabaazi ku abagiirire eitima, batyo bagyenda baza kushumba ahandi.                                                                         Obwengye ku buburira mukama w'ente omufumu aragurira busha.

 

 

Obu Ishe-Katabaazi yaateera Abaana

Hakaba hariho omushaija omwe w'Omuhima orikwetwa Rushariza akaba aine ebite bye mukaaga, kandi akaba atwire na Ishe-Katabaazi aha mugongo gumwe. Eizooba rimwe baramu ba Rushariza babiri bakaija baamuzindukira haza baashanga ente ze zihweisize. Ku baahikire aho, Rushanza agyenda ashengyeera enjoga rushengye y'omuramba agibata omumaisho, baaraara baguriho nibagunywa bwasheesha. Kwonka shi tibaatunga mate. Mbwenu nyekiro Rushariza atuma ahari Ishe-Katabaazi na bataahi be ati, "Baana mwe nimwirooko muze owa Ishe-Katabaazi n'omu baananka mubagire muti yaaraarirwa amafura kwonka taine mate, n'ahabw'ekyo mumutwekyere amate omu kasheeshe.'' Abaana ku baagyenzire, baahika n'owa Ishe Katabaazi baamushangamu baamugambira. Nawe yaabagarukamu ati,"Shoimwe mumugire ngu ente ze zoona tizinyubwaho oruganda orundi        nikizira munonga."          Abaana ku baagarukire baagambira Ishebo ngu amate gaareebeka kwonka gaabura owa Ishe-Katabaazi.

Ku bwaseesire bataahi ba Rushariza baakama baaragira abakazi baabo kwija kutweka abaana amate. Mbwenu abaana babiri ku baabaire bari omu muhanda baine ebyanzi by'amate, baabugana Ishe-Katabaazi naaruga kuseetura. Ku yaabareebire yaahurira yaananuka aha mutima, haza yaashitama.

Ku baamuhikire haihi ati, "Baana bangye, nimumpe nshomeho." Bambe abaana baagira ngu naabazaanisa nk'oku abakuru boona bazaanisa abaana. Tibamusiibizayo bagamuha. Omukukwata ekyanzi ky'okubanza n'okukita aha munwa Ishe Katabaazi akyerenzya ataho n'ekya kabiri, ahatsigaire acwera ekifuzi.

Ku yaabagaruriire ebyanzi, abaana baareeba baashoberwa, baatandika kurira. Ishe-Katabaazi abagira ati, "Baarwata nimukakungurire basho. Nimureebe mihi okucura kwona. Haza mwarizire nimwija kuririra kyarumwe." Atyo acwa akanyaafu abakwata abatsibagura bagyenda nibacura beetuurira baanyinabo babibateera.

Haija abakazi baizire kuteekurana Ishe-Katabaazi. Ku baizire baashanga yaahikire omwe, baamugira bati Ishe-Katabaazi noonywera ki amate gu twatweka abaana kandi okagaruka okabateera?"

Abagarukamu ati, "Imwe bakazi mwe, nimuzaarira ki ebifiire, haza mukaija kumbambira? Tiinye naashanga abaana baanyu b'ebifeera nibanywa amate gu mwabatweka haza naanye tikwo kusambisirwa nkabateera?" Abakazi ku baabihuriire baateekateeka ngu Ishe-Katabaazi yaabagambira amazima.
