< 2 Kings 21 >

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned five and fifty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hephzi-bah.
Manase yatandika okufuga ng’alina emyaka kkumi n’ebiri, era n’afugira emyaka amakumi ataano mu etaano mu Yerusaalemi. Nnyina ye yali Kefuziba.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the nations, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’atambulira mu makubo amabi ag’amawanga Mukama ge yali agobye mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri.
3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Yaddamu n’azimba ebifo ebigulumivu eby’okusamira, Keezeekiya kitaawe bye yali amenye: era yazimba n’ebyoto ebya Baali, n’asimba n’empagi kya Asera, nga Akabu kabaka wa Isirayiri bwe yakola, n’okusinza n’asinza eggye ery’omu ggulu.
4 And he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD said: 'In Jerusalem will I put My name.'
Yazimba n’ebyoto mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, Mukama gye yali ayogeddeko nti, “Mu Yerusaalemi mwe mulibeera Erinnya lyange.”
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
Era yazimbira eggye lyonna ery’omu ggulu ebyoto mu mpya zombi eza yeekaalu ya Mukama.
6 And he made his son to pass through the fire, and practised soothsaying, and used enchantments, and appointed them that divined by a ghost or a familiar spirit: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him.
N’awaayo mutabani we okuba ekyokebwa, ng’akola eby’obufumu n’eby’obulogo, ate ng’alagulwa n’abaliko emizimu, n’abalogo. N’akola ebibi bingi mu maaso ga Mukama, era n’amusunguwaza.
7 And he set the graven image of Asherah, that he had made, in the house of which the LORD said to David and to Solomon his son: 'In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put My name for ever;
Yaddira ekifaananyi ekyole ekya Asera n’akiteeka mu yeekaalu, Mukama gye yali ayogeddeko ng’agamba Dawudi ne mutabani we Sulemaani nti, “Mu Yeekaalu eno ne mu Yerusaalemi, bye nneeroboza mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri, mwe munaabeeranga erinnya lyange emirembe gyonna.
8 neither will I cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.'
Siriddayo nate kujja bigere eby’Abayisirayiri mu nsi gye nawa bajjajjaabwe, bwe baneekuumanga okukola bye nabalagira byonna wamu n’amateeka omuddu wange Musa ge yabawa.”
9 But they hearkened not; and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than did the nations, whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.
Naye abantu tebaawuliriza, era Manase n’abasendasenda okukola ebibi okusinga n’ebyo amawanga Mukama ge yazikiririza mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri bye gaakola.
10 And the LORD spoke by His servants the prophets, saying:
Awo Mukama n’ayogerera mu baddu be bannabbi
11 'Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, that were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols;
nti, “Olw’emizizo gino Manase kabaka wa Yuda gy’akoze, ng’ayonoona okusinga Abamoli abaamusooka bye baakola, n’ayonoonyesa Yuda n’ebifaananyi bye,
12 therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Behold, I bring such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Ndireeta ku Yerusaalemi ne ku Yuda obubi obusingirayo ddala, era na buli muntu alikiwulira, alisasamala.
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
Ndigolola omuguwa ogwakozesebwa ku Samaliya n’ejjinja erigera eryakozesebwa ku nnyumba ya Akabu eri Yerusaalemi, era ne mmalirawo ddala Yerusaalemi ng’omuntu bw’akomba esowaani okumalirako ddala emmere, n’okugifuula n’agifuula.
14 And I will cast off the remnant of Mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
Era ndyabulira ekitundu ekyafikkawo eky’obusika bwange, ne nkigabula mu mukono gw’abalabe baabwe, ne bababbako buli kantu,
15 because they have done that which is evil in My sight, and have provoked Me, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.'
kubanga baakola ebibi mu maaso gange, ne bansunguwaza nnyo okuviira ddala ku lunaku bajjajjaabwe kwe baaviirako mu Misiri n’okutuusa ku lunaku lwa leero.’”
16 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
Ate, era Manase yayiwa omusaayi mungi gw’abo abataaliko musango, n’agujjuza Yerusaalemi, obutasaako ebibi ebirala bye yayonoonyesa Yuda, ne bakola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama.
17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Manase, ne byonna bye yakola, okwo nga kwe kuli n’ebibi bye yakola, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
Awo Manase n’afa, n’aziikibwa mu nnimiro ey’olubiri lwe, ye nnimiro ya Uzza, ne mutabani we Amoni n’amusikira okuba kabaka.
19 Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
Amoni lwe yatandika okufuga, yali awezezza emyaka amakumi abiri mu ebiri, era n’afugira mu Yerusaalemi okumala emyaka ebiri. Nnyina ye yali Mesullemesi muwala wa Kaluzi ow’e Yotuba.
20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father.
N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga kitaawe bwe yakola.
21 And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them.
N’atambulira mu ngeri za kitaawe, n’asinzanga ebifaananyi kitaawe bye yasinzanga.
22 And he forsook the LORD, the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD.
Yava ku Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaabe, n’atatambulira mu kkubo lya Mukama.
23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.
Awo abakungu ba Amoni ne bamusalira olukwe, ne bamuttira mu lubiri lwe.
24 But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
Awo olwatuuka, abantu mu nsi ne beekobaana, ne batta abo bonna abaali mu lukwe olw’okumutta, era ne bafuula Yosiya mutabani we kabaka.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Amoni, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
26 And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza; and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
Kabaka n’aziikibwa mu ntaana ye mu nnimiro ya Uzza, mutabani we Yosiya n’amusikira okuba kabaka.
