2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years.
Manase yalya obwakabaka nga wa myaka kkumi n’ebiri, n’afugira emyaka amakumi ataano mu etaano mu Yerusaalemi.
2 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD by following the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
N’akola ebitaali bya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’agoberera ebikolwa eby’ekivve eby’amawanga Mukama ge yagoba mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri.
3 For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had torn down, and he raised up altars for the Baals and made Asherah poles. And he worshiped and served all the host of heaven.
N’addaabiriza ebifo ebigulumivu kitaawe Keezeekiya bye yali amenyeemenye, n’azimbira ne Baali ebyoto, n’akola ne Baasera, n’asinza era n’aweereza n’eggye lyonna ery’oku ggulu.
4 Manasseh also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever.”
N’azimba ebyoto mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, Mukama gye yayogerako nti, “Mu Yerusaalemi erinnya lyange mwe linaabeeranga emirembe gyonna.”
5 In both courtyards of the house of the LORD, he built altars to all the host of heaven.
N’azimba ebyoto eby’okusinzizangako eggye lyonna ery’oku ggulu, mu mpya zombi eza yeekaalu ya Mukama.
6 He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.
N’awaayo abaana be ng’ekiweebwayo, n’abookera mu kiwonvu ekya mutabani wa Kinomu, n’akola eby’obufumu, n’alagulira mu bire, n’akola eby’obulogo, n’agendanga n’eri abaliko emizimu ne ddayimooni. N’akola ebitaali bya butuukirivu bingi mu maaso ga Mukama, n’asunguwaza nnyo Mukama.
7 Manasseh even took the carved image he had made and set it up in the house of God, of which God had said to David and his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will establish My Name forever.
N’addira ekifaananyi ekyole kye yakola, n’akiteeka mu yeekaalu ya Katonda, Katonda gye yayogerako eri Dawudi ne Sulemaani mutabani we nti, “Mu yeekaalu eno ne mu Yerusaalemi muno, bye nalonda mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri, mwe munaabeeranga Erinnya lyange emirembe gyonna.
8 I will never again cause the feet of the Israelites to leave the land that I assigned to your fathers, if only they are careful to do all that I have commanded them through Moses—all the laws, statutes, and judgments.”
Sijjululenga nate kigere kya Isirayiri okuva mu nsi gye nawa bajjajjammwe, bwe baneekuumanga okukola bye mbalagidde, nga bagoberera amateeka gonna, n’ebiragiro, n’obulombolombo bye nnawa Musa.”
9 So Manasseh led the people of Judah and Jerusalem astray, so that they did greater evil than the nations that the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites.
Naye Manase n’asendasenda Yuda n’abantu b’e Yerusaalemi okukola ebitaali bya butuukirivu okusinga amawanga Mukama ge yazikiririza mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri.
10 And the LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they did not listen.
Mukama n’ayogera ne Manase n’abantu be, kyokka ne batassaayo mwoyo.
11 So the LORD brought against them the military commanders of the king of Assyria, who captured Manasseh, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.
Mukama kyeyava abasindikira abaduumizi b’eggye lya kabaka w’e Bwasuli, ne basiba Manase mu njegere ne mu masamba, ne bateeka eddobo mu nnyindo ye, ne bamutwala e Babulooni nga musibe.
12 And in his distress, Manasseh sought the favor of the LORD his God and earnestly humbled himself before the God of his fathers.
Ng’ali eyo mu nnaku ye, ne yeegayirira Mukama Katonda we, ne yeetoowaza nnyo mu maaso ga Katonda wa bajjajjaabe.
13 And when he prayed to Him, the LORD received his plea and heard his petition; so He brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD is God.
N’amusaba, Mukama n’awulira okwegayirira kwe, n’amukomyawo e Yerusaalemi n’eri obwakabaka bwe. Awo Manase n’ategeera nga Mukama ye Katonda.
14 After this, Manasseh rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David from west of Gihon in the valley to the entrance of the Fish Gate, and he brought it around the hill of Ophel and heightened it considerably. He also stationed military commanders in all the fortified cities of Judah.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo n’addaabiriza bbugwe ow’ebweru ow’ekibuga kya Dawudi, ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba olwa Gikoni, mu kiwonvu, okutuuka awayingirirwa mu Mulyango ogw’Ebyennyanja, n’okwetooloola olusozi lwa Oferi, n’okumuzimba n’amuzimba ng’asingako bbugwe eyaliwo obuwanvu. N’ateeka n’abaduumizi b’eggye mu bibuga byonna ebiriko bbugwe mu Yuda.
15 He removed the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the LORD, along with all the altars he had built on the temple mount and in Jerusalem, and he dumped them outside the city.
N’aggyamu bakatonda abamawanga n’ekifaananyi ekyole mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebyoto byonna bye yazimba ku kasozi ka yeekaalu ne mu Yerusaalemi, n’abisuula ebweru w’ekibuga.
16 Then he restored the altar of the LORD and sacrificed peace offerings and thank offerings on it, and he told Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel.
N’addaabiriza ekyoto kya Mukama, n’aweerayo ssaddaaka ez’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe n’ez’okwebaza, n’alagira Yuda okuweerezanga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri.
17 Nevertheless, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the LORD their God.
Wabula abantu bo, ne beeyongera okuweerangayo ssaddaaka ku bifo ebigulumivu, nga baziwaayo eri Mukama Katonda waabwe.
18 As for the rest of the acts of Manasseh, along with his prayer to his God and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, they are indeed written in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Manase, ng’omwo mwe muli okusaba kwe eri Mukama n’ebigambo abalabi bye baamutegeezanga mu linnya lya Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, byawandiikibwa mu bitabo eby’omu mirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri.
19 His prayer and how God received his plea, as well as all his sin and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself, they are indeed written in the Records of the Seers.
Okusaba kwe, n’okusaasira kwa Katonda gy’ali, n’ebibi bye, n’obutali bwesigwa bwe, n’ebifo ebigulumivu bye yazimba, ne Baasera, n’ebifaananyi ebyole bye yassaawo nga taneetoowaza, byonna byawandiikibwa mu bitabo eby’omu mirembe gy’abalabi.
20 And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried at his palace. And his son Amon reigned in his place.
Manase ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, n’aziikibwa mu lubiri lwe, Amoni mutabani we n’amusikira.
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.
Amoni yali wa myaka amakumi abiri mu ebiri we yaliira obwakabaka.
22 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon served and sacrificed to all the idols that his father Manasseh had made,
N’akola ebitaali bya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama, nga Manase kitaawe bwe yakola.
23 but he did not humble himself before the LORD as his father Manasseh had done; instead, Amon increased his guilt.
Naye obutafaanana nga kitaawe Manase, Amoni n’ayongera ekibi ku kibi, n’ateetoowaza mu maaso ga Mukama.
24 Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed him in his palace.
Abakungu ba Amoni ne bamusalira olukwe ne bamuttira mu lubiri lwe.
25 But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.
Naye Abantu ab’omu nsi ne batta abo bonna abasala olukwe okutta kabaka Amoni; ne bafuula Yosiya mutabani we okuba kabaka mu kifo kye.
