2 Bassekabaka 15

1 Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri mu omusanvu ogw’obufuzi bwa Yerobowaamu kabaka wa Isirayiri, Azaliya mutabani wa ssekabaka Amaziya n’alya obwakabaka bwa Yuda.

In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign.

2 Yalina emyaka kkumi na mukaaga bwe yatandika okufuga, n’afugira emyaka amakumi ataano mu ebiri mu Yerusaalemi. Erinnya lya nnyina ye yali Yekoliya ow’e Yerusaalemi.

He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

3 Yakola ebyali ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga kitaawe Amaziya bwe yali akoze.

He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

4 Wabula ebifo ebigulumivu gye baweeranga ssaddaaka tebyaggibwawo, era abantu beeyongeranga okuweerangayo ssaddaaka n’okwoterezangayo obubaane.

However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.

5 Awo Mukama n’aleetera kabaka obulwadde n’agengewala, ennaku ze zonna okutuusa bwe yafa, era n’aggyibwako emirimu egy’obuvunaanyizibwa n’ateekebwa mu nnyumba ey’enjawulo. Azaliya n’asigira Yosamu mutabani we okuvunaanyizibwanga ensonga zonna ez’omu lubiri, era n’afuganga n’abantu ab’omu nsi.

Yahweh struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham, the king’s son, was over the household, judging the people of the land.

6 Ebyafaayo ebirala byonna ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Azaliya, ne bye yakola byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?

Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

7 Awo Azaliya n’afa, n’aziikibwa ku biggya bya bajjajjaabe mu kibuga kya Dawudi, Yosamu mutabani we n’amusikira okuba kabaka.

Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Jotham his son reigned in his place.

8 Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi asatu mu omunaana ogw’obufuzi bwa Azaliya kabaka wa Yuda, Zekkaliya mutabani wa Yerobowaamu n’alya obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri mu Samaliya, n’afugira emyezi mukaaga.

In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in Samaria six months.

9 N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga bajjajjaabe bwe baakola, n’atakyuka okuva mu bibi bya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri.

He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as his fathers had done. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

10 Awo Sallumu mutabani wa Yabesi, n’asala olukwe n’amuttira mu lujjudde lw’abantu, era n’alya obwakabaka.

Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and struck him before the people and killed him, and reigned in his place.

11 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Zekkaliya, byawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri.

Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

12 Awo ekigambo Mukama kye yagamba Yeeku ne kituukirira, era kyali kigamba nti, “Bazzukulu bo balirya obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri okutuusa ku muzzukulu owookuna.”

This was Yahweh’s word which he spoke to Jehu, saying, “Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” So it came to pass.

13 Awo Sallumu mutabani wa Yabesi n’atandika okufuga mu mwaka ogw’amakumi asatu mu mwenda ogw’obufuzi bwa Uzziya kabaka wa Yuda, era n’afugira omwezi gumu mu Samaliya.

Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah, and he reigned for a month in Samaria.

14 Menakemu mutabani wa Gaadi n’ava e Tiruza n’agenda okulumba Sallumu mutabani wa Yabesi e Samaliya, era n’amutta. Ye n’afuuka kabaka mu kifo kye.

Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, came to Samaria, struck Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, killed him, and reigned in his place.

15 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Sallumu, n’olukwe lwe yasala, byawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri.

Now the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

16 Mu kiseera ekyo Menakemu n’alumba Tifusa n’azikiriza buli muntu eyalimu, na buli kintu ekyali kikirinaanye ng’atandikira ku nsalo yaakyo ne Tiruza, kubanga tebaamwaniriza. Abakyala abaali embuto nabo n’abatta ng’ababaaga.

Then Menahem attacked Tiphsah and all who were in it and its border areas, from Tirzah. He attacked it because they didn’t open their gates to him, and he ripped up all their women who were with child.

17 Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi asatu mu mwenda ogw’obufuzi bwa Azaliya kabaka wa Yuda, Menakemu mutabani wa Gaadi n’alya obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri, era n’afugira emyaka kkumi mu Samaliya.

In the thirty ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi began to reign over Israel for ten years in Samaria.

18 Yakola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, era ebbanga lyonna we yabeerera kabaka, n’atakyuka kuleka bibi bya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri.

He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. He didn’t depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

19 Awo Puli kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’alumba Isirayiri, naye Menakemu n’amusuubiza okumuwa ttani amakumi asatu mu nnya eza ffeeza ng’amusaba okumuwanirira n’okumunyweza ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka.

Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.

20 Menakemu n’asoloozanga ensimbi ku Bayisirayiri, buli musajja omugagga ng’awaayo gulaamu desimoolo mukaaga eza ffeeza, okuwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli. Awo kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’abaviira mu nsi yaabwe.

Menahem exacted the money from Israel, even from all the mighty men of wealth, from each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and didn’t stay there in the land.

21 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Menakemu, ne bye yakola byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?

Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

22 Menakemu n’afa, Pekakiya mutabani we n’amusikira okuba kabaka.

Menahem slept with his fathers, and Pekahiah his son reigned in his place.

23 Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi ataano ogw’obufuzi bwa Azaliya kabaka wa Yuda, Pekakiya mutabani wa Menakemu n’alya obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri mu Samaliya, era n’afugira emyaka ebiri.

In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria for two years.

24 Yakola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, n’atakyuka kuleka bibi bya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri.

He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

25 Awo omu ku baserikale be abakulu nga mukulu wa kibinja erinnya lye Peka mutabani wa Lemaliya, ne yeekobaana n’abasajja abalala amakumi ataano Abagireyaadi ne battira Pekakiya wamu ne Alugobu, ne Aliye mu kigo eky’omu lubiri e Samaliya. Peka n’atta Pekakiya, n’alya obwakabaka.

Pekah the son of Remaliah, his captain, conspired against him and attacked him in Samaria, in the fortress of the king’s house, with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites. He killed him, and reigned in his place.

26 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Pekakiya, ne bye yakola byonna, byawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri.

Now the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

27 Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi ataano mu ebiri ogw’obufuzi bwa Azaliya kabaka wa Yuda, Peka mutabani wa Lemaliya n’alya obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri mu Samaliya, era n’afugira emyaka amakumi abiri.

In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria for twenty years.

28 Yakola ebibi bya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri.

He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

29 Mu biro bya Peka kabaka wa Isirayiri, Tigulasupireseri kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’alumba ebibuga: by’e Iyoni, n’e Aberubesumaaka, n’e Yanoa, n’e Kedesi, n’e Kazoli, n’e Gireyaadi n’e Ggaliraaya, n’ensi yonna eya Nafutaali, abantu baayo n’abatwala nga basibe e Bwasuli.

In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria came and took Ijon, Abel Beth Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he carried them captive to Assyria.

30 Awo Koseya mutabani wa Era n’asala olukwe okutta Peka mutabani wa Lemaliya, n’amulumba era n’amutta, n’alya obwakabaka mu mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri ogw’obwakabaka bwa Yosamu mutabani wa Uzziya.

Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, attacked him, killed him, and reigned in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.

31 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Peka, ne bye yakola byonna byawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri.

Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

32 Mu mwaka ogwokubiri ogw’obufuzi bwa Peka mutabani wa Lemaliya, Yosamu mutabani wa Uzziya n’alya obwakabaka bwa Yuda.

In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah began to reign.

33 Yali wa myaka amakumi abiri mu etaano we yatandikira okufuga, era n’afugira emyaka kkumi na mukaaga mu Yerusaalemi, ne nnyina erinnya lye nga ye Yerusa muwala wa Zadooki.

He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok.

34 N’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga kitaawe Uzziya bwe yakola.

He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes. He did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.

35 Naye ebifo ebigulumivu tebyaggibwawo, era abantu ne beeyongeranga okuweerangayo ssaddaaka n’okwoterezangako obubaane. Yaddaabiriza n’Omulyango ogw’ekyengulu ogwa yeekaalu ya Mukama.

However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places. He built the upper gate of Yahweh’s house.

36 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Yosamu, ne bye yakola byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?

Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

37 Mu biro ebyo Mukama n’atandika okusindikira Yuda abalabe nga Lezini kabaka w’e Busuuli ne Peka mutabani wa Lemaliya.

In those days, Yahweh began to send Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah.

38 Yosamu n’afa, n’aziikibwa ku biggya bya bajjajjaabe mu kibuga kya Dawudi jjajjaawe, Akazi mutabani we n’amusikira okuba kabaka.

Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
