Interuro ibasohozaho aka gatabo
 
 
Aka gatabo nagahimbye mu wa 1941-1942 gatangazwa bwa mbere muri 1949. Hariho abantu benshi bari barakwumvise, na n'ubu bagahora bakanyishyuza. Ni cyo kinteye kugatangaza, kugakorera icyapwa rya kabiiri. 
 
 
Aka gatabo kitwa Indyohesha-birayi: si jye wakise ntyo, ahubwo nari narakise Izina ry'Ingurube, kuko gahimbura umugendo w'Amazina y'Inka. Muzi ko Amazina y'Inka bisobanura Ibyivugo by'Inka (nk'uko mu Kirundi ibyo twita ibyivugo babyita Amazina).
 
 
Iyo Izina ry'Inka ari umuzinge (ari byo kuvuga: risatuwemo imivugo myinshi), iyo mivugo yose isozwa n'ibango rimwe rukumbi rigumya kugaruka mu ndunduro ya buri muvugo. Iryo jambo rero rikitwa impakanizi y'umuzinge, nk'uwo muri iri Zina ry'Ingurube haguma kugaruka Indyohesha-birayi. Iri bango rero ni impakanizi y'iri Zina ry'Ingurube. 
 
 
Navuze ko jyewe nari narise aka gatabo "Izina ry'ingurube". Mbere yo kugatangaza najyaga ngatiza abantu ngo bagasome, bambwire icyo bagatekerezaho. Bamwe ndetse barakandukura, ariko bose bahitamo kukita Indyohesha-birayi. Mbibonye ntyo, nanjye ibyo abo bandi bari barihitiyemo, ngatangaza nkise Indyohesha-birayi. 
 
 
Hariho ingingo ebyiri ngomba gusobanura: 
 
1º. Ni ki cyanteye guhimba aka gatabo? Icyo gihe nari maze gushyikira Amazina y'Inka, n'ibyivugo n'ibisigo. Ngira rero agatekerezo ko guhimba ikintu cyagira umugendo umwe na byo. Mbanza gufata mu mutwe Amazina y'Inka menshi, n'ibyivugo n'ibisigo, kugirango niyumvemo imitererwe yabyo, ndebe icyo nzahitamo gukurikiza. Aho bigeze niyumvisha ko inganzo ikwiriye ari iy'Amazina y'Inka. (Inganzo bivuga imihimbire, inzira bakurikiza mw'ihimba, kuko Ibisigo n'Ibyivugo n'Amazina y'Inka bifite amategeko anyuranye, kimwe ayacyo, ikindi ayacyo).
 
 
Namaze kubona rero ko Indyohesha-birayi ishimishije abayisomaga, numviraho ko nashyikiriye Inganzo y'Amazina y'Inka, nuko ntangira guhimba "Umuririmbyi wa Nyiri-ibiremwa," mu nganzo rero y'Amazina y'Inka.
 
 
2º. Ingingo ya kabiri rero; numvise benshi bambaza ngo: "Mbese Abatware wavuzemo, ndetse n'Umwami, ntibyabarakaje, ntibyabaguteranijho?" Ababivuga batyo, bazarebe mu kandi gatabo kitwa Iyo wiriwe nta rungu. Bazasangamo Ibisigo by'Ubuse (ku mpap. 19-46).
 
 
Bene ibingibi rero si ugusebanya, kuko biba bizwi ko ibivugwamo bitigeze kubaho. Ahubwo biramenyerewe ko n'iyo nzira ari inganzo yo gusetsa, yo kumara irungu. Ahubwo ababivugwamo barabyumvaga bagaseka kimwe n'abandi. Kuko rero aka gatabo kakurikizaga inganzo bamwe batamenyereye, ni cyo cyatumye mbanza gutangaza Iyo wiriwe nta rungu (mu wa 1959 na bwo), kugirango Ibisigo by'ubuse babanze bimare bamwe impungenge. 
 
 
Icyitonderwa
 
 
Muri iri Zina ry'Ingurube, amabango amwe akurikiwe n'umubare uri mu gakubo, nk'iyi ngiyi (1), (2), (3), (4), n'ibindi. Igihe ugeze kuri bene uwo mubare, ujye ureba iyo numero mu ndunduro y'aka gatabo, kugirango urebe igisobanuro cy'iryo bango.

Mutara ati: "Ngiyo yewe inama!"
 
Ahuta asanga Majoro mu nzu,
 
Ati: "Iyo washakaga ubu nzi aho iri,
 
Ni ukwo itunzwe n'abadatorwa, (12)
 
270 Kuyikomeraho nkabibakeka.
 
Nyamara wanditse nk'ibaruwa,
 
Nkayiha umuntu akayigabana,
 
Ari wowe ndabona ko byashoboka!"
 
Majoro abyumvise arahuta.
 
275 Yaka wino ashyira ku meza,
 
Araruziringa afunga bahasha,
 
Baruha umuntu ngo ahutere,
 
Ajye Nyakibanda shishi itabona
 

Kwenda "Indyohesha-birayi!"

Ukwo cyegera barashishora,
 
Ya mashini ibamo igisimba.

UMUVUGO V
 
Urugendo rw'iyo Ngurube kuva i Nyanza kugera i Kabgayi: bakeka ko ari imvura; uwahoze mu Buganda yemeza ko ari itanki irwanishwa mu ntambara. 
 
 
375 Intamati ihinda nk'inkuba zesa
 
Iya rwitonganya mu gituza

No mu rutoke rubegereye,
 
Amakoma yarwo barayakonda
 
Ngo nishoka bayikingire
 
Ah'igihimba n'umutwe byombi.

Amaso yerekeye umuhanda.
 
Abari i Kavumu na Kabgayi,
 
Ubwo barashiguka ari yo bareba.
 
415 Ariyamirira imva-buganda
 
Asoza impuha yahoze ahimba;
 
Ati: "Nimurebe ngiyo tanki,
 
Imwe nababwiraga ntimubyumve,

Irasa imizinga ikica ibintu,
 
Irasa amasasu yo mu mbunda;
 
Irasa n'imyambi mwumve na mwe!"
 
Irekura nk'ine aho iri hariya,
 
435 Ikagwa i Buganda ahitwa SSingo,
 
Cyangwa ahandi hitwa Cyagwe,
 
Ikica nk'abo bo mu Buremezi.
 
Nuko mwigumiye mu by'ino
 
Naho ibyo bihugu ni iyo gihera,

UMUVUGO VIII
 
 
Ibisingizo by'iyo Ngurube isuzuguza ibiribwa bindi.
 
 
Ingurube ivura inkono kubiha,
Ikagira ubwenge bwo mu bitekwa,
Iya rwiganza mu Misiyoni,
1000 Ncyuye indatwa yo mu bibagwa,
Ize mu rusange rw'abadutwara,
Ikunde iratwe muri rubanda!
Ivane intama mu isafuriya
Ikure isake ku isahani,
1005 Ineshe n'inka yo mu batetsi.
Amahene yose ave mu bikari,
Ikube ibyo bihugu ibe icyigenge,
Ivangwe n'imiteko y'imyaka.
Iyihe kuryohera Abanyarwanda.
1010 Ni rutsirika bubihe
Ikabutsura ikabutsinda,
Ikabutsemba ikabubumba!
Ni rubumba batetsi
Rwikunda ku mbehe,
1015 Rwiganza ku myunyu
Rwigenga mu bikari,
Ruhatunga burundu,
Rwikebera iyo fasi,
Ikayitunga nk'Umwami,
1020 Ikahabumba itavuguruzwa!
Ni ruhonjoka gitware,
Rwizihirwa n'ibondo,
Ni impogazi rubunga
Ya rutengerana ngingo
1025 Imvuruga-bisogororo
Ya rusaga sorori;
Ni inyumba rwabunga
Ya ruvonyeza-bijumba!
Ni ruteturura abagore b'impumbu,
1030 Rutuburira abibutse gucunda,
Ruhimbaza abakikije ameza,
Rusohoka ku isafuriya isaha isohoye
Rutavugisha impuha abo yaryoheye mbere,
Rutetereza abiratana inyama zindi,
1035 Rusendereza amasahani ukabikunda,
Rukorerwaho imisango y'isabukuru,
Rutumirirwa Abazungu iyo bava,
Rutera icyunzwe cy'uburyohe.
Rwinopforwa n'abahinyura ibindi,
1040 Rubahaga umubyimba ukaguka,
Rubatera umudigi nk'uwa nyamaturi
Ubwo yaturutiye iz'amashyamba,
Ikaba inaturuka kure h'ishyanga,
Ndariyibanje izina ry'ingurube
1045 Izajye iratirwa aho yabazwe:
Yitwa "Indyohesha-birayi!"
 
AMAHAMBA Y'ABUNGERI B'INGURUBE
 
Inzovu y'urwijiji rukabije ubujorojoro
Iya rujegeza-bijumba rwa semitabo,
Noneho amavubi arayarika mu bikobokobo,
Kira nyumba ya rukara rwa Majoro!
 
Rujugitira-bijumba rwa njunditse ibika,
Imvubu y'icyagane ya ruhungabanya-bitebo,
Isigaye itengerana umuraru wose ugatigita
Ikaba iya Rutare rwa SOMUKI i Rutongo!
 
Kivurivuri cya ruvungura-byavu,
Imbona-bake ya ruhingitirana-mubiri,
Ni ikitayega zishokanye umunihiro,
Ikaba iya Rukara rwa MINETE!
 
Ruhiniriza-kibero rwa sendahiriye,
Karisimbi k'amatungo ka ruhonjokerana,
Iyo basigaye bitiranya na ruva-kwaya,
Ikaba iya Rutare rwa Muganga.
 
Umuduga uhetse umubyibuho wa ruzimiza-mbavu,
Imponjoke yagurirwa amarembo ya ruhimbaza-barebyi
Isigaye ikinana ibicece mu icongori ry'ibifungo:
Ikaba iya rukara rwa Kurimpuzu, nzayibaga!
 
Gihirihiri cya ruhingika-bondo,
Inyumba irangwa n'umubyibuho ya ruvonyeza-bijumba,
Isigaye ibunda mu byambu ikabigomera:
Iba mu ngoro mu Rukari, aho zogerezwa isahani!
 
Gihiringitirane cyashiriyemo umurizo,
Mavuta-mingi ya rutenga-bondo,
Iyashinganywe n'abategeka-birori ba Leta,
Ifungiye i Rwinkwavu kwa Sovanye
 
Rubyagira-nzira rwa ndanze guhigama,
Intamati yamazwe ubwoya no kuneta ya rubyimbabyimba,
Iyo bakekaga umwingo ikarushya abasuzumyi,
Izigamwe na Misiyoni iruhande rw'ifumbira!
 
Yemwe ga bana baragiye mu bishanga,
Mureke zirenze imijumbajumba n'isayo,
Nizihaga zihundagarire mu bizenga:
Zidashongesha amavuta yo gukaranga ibirayi.
 
Kamena niboneka ntibahute kuzamburira,
Ahanini muri hoteri harazishaka;
Zirahaka amanoti n'ibikoroti mu mabondo,
Nicyo abasirimu bazikundira murakenge!
 
Kuyavuga si ko kuyarangiza inyuma:
Uwarata intendeza-matwi yakesha amajoro!
Za runihira zishoka nk'imvura y'umuhindo
Impini igaturika zikwira ibishanga.
 
Nimugwire Bikoko by'imva-burayi
Nimutungwe isanzure ntimukinenwa!
Nimutebanwe akamaro n'ibinyamahembe
Mubyirukane n'amajyambere y'u Rwanda!
