Bawuca iyo babonye umuntu umerewe nabi afite umukokwe w’inzara n’inyota ni bwo bavuga, bati: "Naka arasa n’uwaraye Rwantambi"
Iryo zina Rwantambi, ni
iry’umugezi wo mu Burundi wabaga hafi y’urugerero rw’Abarundi rwari ruteganye
n’urw’Abanyarwanda rw’i Gaharanyonga ari yo Nyaruteja ya Butare (Gaharanyonga
iyo, ni yo bacyurira abana bakubirije baka amata imburagihe, bakabatwama
bagira, ngo: "Mbese uraka amata nk’uziviriye i Gahanyonga kuzihakirwa).
Umugani rero wadutse ku
ngoma ya Cyilima Rujugira, ubwo Abarundi bari bateye inkiko z’u Rwanda mu
gitero bise icy’inzora. Bari basezeranye gutera u Rwanda barebye inzora
y’ukwezi. Bati: "Umurundi wese uzabona ukwezi kuzoye azatere mu
Rwanda" Ubwo hari ku ngoma ya Cyilima Rujugira.
Nuko Abarundi bahuza
umugambi, ukwezi kuzoye batera inkiko zose zihereranye n’i Burundi. Batera iy’Indilira
mu Buyenzi, batera iya Mututu mu Mayaga, batera iya Nyaruhengeli n’iya
Bashumba. Ubwo Abarundi baneshwa impande zose z’inkiko bateye; ni bwo umugaba
w’ingabo z’i Burundi witwaga Makungu, umunyarwanda witwa Rugimbana amutsinze
kuri Nyakizu mu Bashumba. Ubwo Makungu yari yarasezeranye ko namara gutsinda u
Rwanda azatabaruka yirabye ingwa ya Nyakizu, (ikigugu cy’ingwa yera cyane
kugeza n’ubu). Urugerero rw’i Nyaruteja rero runesha Abarundi, Abanyarwanda
barabirukana babarenza umupaka; babacisha no ku Rugerero rwabo. Babonye
babacishije ku Rugerero rwabo barahimbarwa bagumya kubirukana. Abarambiwe
bakisubirira inyuma bagaruka i Rwanda.
Ubwo Abarundi
birukanwaga n’umutwe w’ingabo z’u Rwanda witwaga Imvejuru. Bakomeza kubiruka
inyuma iminsi ibiri. Bigeze aho, Abarundi barabahindukirana kuko babonye
hasigaye Imvejuru mbarwa, kubera ko bamwe bagiye barambirwa bakisubirira
inyuma. Ni n’aho hakomotse wa mugani baca, ngo: "Wirukana umugabo kera
ukamumara ubwoba", n’undi ngo: "Ubugabo butagaruka babwita
ububwa!"
Abarundi rero barongera
bambikana n’Imvejuru barazitatanya; bamwe barabica, abasigaye bihisha mu
bihuru, abandi barambuka baza mu Rwanda. Bageze mu Rwanda, abasigaye bakababaza
bati: "Naka ari he ?" Bati: "yarapfuye!"
Ubwo hariho umukecuru mu
Mvejuru witwaga Nyakazana, yari afite umuhungu w’intwari witwaga Sekayange;
araza abaza abatabarutse, ati: "Ingogo, ari he? (ikivugo cya
Sekayange)." Bati: "Ubanza yarapfuye!" Ati: "Yagiye afite
iki?" Bati: "yari afite umuheto yiruka agana ishyamba. Nyakazana,
ati: "Nzamuheba rihiye!" Ubwo yavugaga ko ubwo yacikanye umuheto
agana ishyamba nta murundi wamuhangara awufite; ni cyo yavugiye, ati:
"Nzamuheba rihiye"
Nuko biba aho; haciyeho
iminsi Sekayange arabunguka. Nyakazana amukubise amaso, amusangana inzara
ndende; aratakarwa n’ibyishimo ati: "Nimuze murebe uko Ingogo asigaye
angana!" Ati: "Mbese mwana wanjye abaraye Rwantambi ni uko
musa!" Abari aho baraseka bumva ubudabagizi bw’uwo mukecuru. Ni iby’ijambo
rivugiwe mu rwenya rw’abahungu rero, babona umuntu wese ushonje inzara ndende,
bati: "Yaraye Rwantambi", cyangwa, bati: "Uno muntu arasa
n’uwaraye Rwantambi!"
Kurara rwantambi =
Kumererwa nabi kubera umukokwe w’inzara n’inyota.
