2 Chronicles 27

1 Joatham was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jerusa the daughter of Sadoc.

Yosamu yali wa myaka amakumi abiri mu etaano, bwe yalya obwakabaka, n’afugira mu Yerusaalemi emyaka kkumi na mukaaga. Nnyina ye yali Yerusa muwala wa Zadooki.

2 And he did that which was right before the Lord, according to all that Ozias his father had done, only that he entered not into the temple of the Lord, and the people still transgressed.

Newaakubadde ng’abantu beeyongera okukola ebitali bya butuukirivu, Yosamu yakola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga kitaawe Uzziya bwe yakola; naye obutafaanana nga kitaawe bwe yakola, teyayingira mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.

3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

N’addaabiriza Omulyango ogw’Ekyengulu ogwa yeekaalu ya Mukama, ate era n’akola omulimu munene ogw’okuddaabiriza bbugwe wa Oferi.

4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Juda, and castles and towers in the forests.

N’azimba n’ebibuga mu nsozi za Yuda, ate mu bibira n’azimbamu ebigo n’asimbamu n’eminaala.

5 Ho fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them, and the children of Ammon gave him at that time a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and as many measures of barley: so much did the children of Ammon give him in the second and third year.

Yosamu n’alwana ne kabaka w’Abamoni n’amuwangula, era omwaka ogwo Abamoni ne bamuwa ttani ssatu eza ffeeza ne desimoolo nnya, n’ebigero by’eŋŋaano obukadde bubiri mu emitwalo amakumi abiri, n’ebigero bya sayiri obukadde bubiri mu emitwalo amakumi abiri. Abamoni ne bamuleeteranga ebintu byebimu mu bigero byebimu mu mwaka ogwokubiri ne mu mwaka ogwokusatu.

6 And Joatham was strengthened, because he had his way directed before the Lord his God.

Yosamu n’aba n’obuyinza bungi kubanga yatambuliranga mu makubo ga Mukama Katonda we.

7 Now the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all his wars, and his works, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Juda.

Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Yosamu, entalo ze yalwana, ne bye yakola, byawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya Bassekabaka ba Isirayiri ne Yuda.

8 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

Yosamu yali wa myaka amakumi abiri mu etaano bwe yalya obwakabaka, era n’afugira emyaka kkumi na mukaaga mu Yerusaalemi.

9 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.

Ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, n’aziikibwa mu Kibuga kya Dawudi; Akazi mutabani we n’amusikira.
