1 Kings 15
1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.
Awo mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’omunaana ogw’obufuzi bwa Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, Abiyaamu n’atandika okufuga Yuda.
2 For three years he was king in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.
Yafugira mu Yerusaalemi emyaka esatu. Nnyina ye yali Maaka muwala wa Abusaalomu.
3 And he did the same sins which his father had done before him: his heart was not completely true to the Lord his God, like the heart of David his father.
N’akola ebibi byonna kitaawe bye yakolanga, omutima gwe ne gutatuukirira mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda we ng’omutima gwa jjajjaawe Dawudi bwe gwali.
4 But because of David, the Lord gave him a light in Jerusalem, making his sons king after him, so that Jerusalem might be safe;
Naye ku lwa Dawudi, Mukama Katonda we n’amuteerawo ettabaaza mu Yerusaalemi era n’ayimusa ne mutabani we okumusikira, era n’okunyweza Yerusaalemi.
5 Because David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and never in all his life went against his orders, but only in the question of Uriah the Hittite.
Dawudi yakola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, n’agondera ebiragiro bya Mukama ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe, okuggyako ensonga ya Uliya Omukiiti.
Ne wabangawo entalo wakati w’ennyumba ya Lekobowaamu n’ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwa Abiyaamu.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
N’ebyafaayo ebirala byonna eby’okufuga kwa Abiyaamu, ne bye yakola, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda? Ne wabangawo entalo wakati wa Abiyaamu ne Yerobowaamu.
8 Then Abijam went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David: and Asa his son became king in his place.
Awo Abiyaamu ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe era n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi. Asa mutabani we n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.
9 In the twentieth year that Jeroboam was king of Israel, Asa became king over Judah.
Awo mu mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri ogw’obufuzi bwa Yerobowaamu kabaka wa Isirayiri, Asa n’alya obwakabaka bwa Yuda.
10 And he was king for forty-one years in Jerusalem; his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.
Yafugira mu Yerusaalemi emyaka amakumi ana mu gumu. Jjajjaawe omukazi nga ye Maaka muwala wa Abusaalomu.
11 Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as David his father did.
Asa n’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga jjajjaawe Dawudi bwe yakola.
12 Those used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods he sent out of the country, and he took away all the images which his fathers had made.
N’agoba mu nsi abaalyanga ebisiyaga, era n’aggyawo n’ebifaananyi ebyakolebwa n’emikono byonna bajjajjaabe bye baakola.
13 And he would not let Maacah his mother be queen, because she had made a disgusting image for Asherah; and Asa had the image cut down and burned by the stream Kidron.
Era n’agoba ne jjajjaawe Maaka ku bwa namasole kubanga yali akoze empagi ya Asera. Asa n’agitema era n’agyokera ku kagga Kidulooni.
14 The high places, however, were not taken away: but still the heart of Asa was true to the Lord all his life.
Newaakubadde nga teyaggyawo bifo bigulumivu, omutima gwe gwali ku Mukama ennaku ze zonna.
15 He took into the house of the Lord all the things which his father had made holy, and those which he himself had made holy, silver and gold and vessels.
N’ayingiza mu yeekaalu ya Mukama effeeza, ne zaabu n’ebintu ebirala kitaawe bye yawaayo ne Asa yennyini bye yawaayo.
16 Now there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days.
Ne wabangawo entalo wakati wa Asa ne Baasa kabaka wa Isirayiri ennaku zonna ez’okufuga kwabwe.
17 And Baasha, king of Israel, went up against Judah, building Ramah, so that no one was able to go out or in to Asa, king of Judah.
Baasa kabaka wa Isirayiri n’alumba Yuda n’azingiza Laama obutaganya muntu n’omu okufuluma wadde okuyingira mu kitundu kya Asa kabaka wa Yuda.
18 Then Asa took all the silver and gold which was still stored in the Lord's house, and in the king's house, and sent them, in the care of his servants, to Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Rezon, king of Aram, at Damascus, saying,
Awo Asa n’addira effeeza ne zaabu yonna eyali esigadde mu ggwanika lya yeekaalu ya Mukama n’ey’olubiri lwe, n’abikwasa abakungu be, n’abiweereza Benikadadi mutabani wa Tabulimmoni, muzzukulu wa Keziyoni, eyali kabaka wa Busuuli ng’afugira e Ddamasiko.
19 Let there be an agreement between me and you as there was between my father and your father: see, I have sent you an offering of silver and gold; go and put an end to your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may give up attacking me.
N’ayogera nti, “Wabeewo endagaano wakati wo nange, ng’eyaliwo wakati wa kitaawo ne kitange. Laba nkuweereza ekirabo ekya ffeeza ne zaabu, omenyewo kaakano endagaano yo ne Baasa kabaka wa Isirayiri, anveeko.”
20 So Ben-hadad did as King Asa said, and sent the captains of his armies against the towns of Israel, attacking Ijon and Dan and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth as far as all the land of Naphtali.
Benikadadi n’akkiriziganya ne kabaka Asa era n’aweereza abaduumizi b’eggye lye okulumba ebibuga bya Isirayiri. N’akuba Iyoni, ne Ddaani, ne Aberubesumaaka ne Kinnerosi yonna ng’okwo kw’otadde Nafutaali.
21 And Baasha, hearing of it, put a stop to the building of Ramah, and was living in Tirzah.
Awo Baasa bwe yakiwulira n’alekeraawo okuzimba Laama, n’addukira e Tiruza.
22 Then King Asa got all Judah together, making every man come; and they took away the stones and the wood with which Baasha was building Ramah, and King Asa made use of them for building Geba in the land of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
Kabaka Asa n’awa ekiragiro mu Yuda yonna nga kikwata ku buli muntu. Ne batwala amayinja ag’e Laama n’embaawo Baasa bye yazimbisanga, kabaka Asa n’abizimbisa Geba ekya Benyamini, ne Mizupa.
23 Now the rest of the acts of Asa, and his power, and all he did, and the towns of which he was the builder, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah? But when he was old he had a disease of the feet.
Ebyafaayo ebirala byonna eby’omu mirembe gya Asa, n’obuwanguzi bwe era n’ebibuga bye yazimba, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda? Kyokka mu bukadde bwe, n’alwala ebigere.
24 So Asa went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place.
Awo Asa ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya jjajjaawe Dawudi. Yekosafaati, mutabani we n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.
25 Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, became king over Israel in the second year that Asa was king of Judah; and he was king of Israel for two years.
Nadabu mutabani wa Yerobowaamu n’alya obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri mu mwaka ogwokubiri ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa kabaka wa Yuda. Yafugira Isirayiri emyaka ebiri.
26 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the evil ways of his father, and the sin which he did and made Israel do.
N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’atambulira mu ngeri za kitaawe ne mu kibi kye, ebyaleetera Isirayiri okwonoona.
27 And Baasha, the son of Ahijah, of the family of Issachar, made a secret design against him, attacking him at Gibbethon, a town of the Philistines; for Nadab and the armies of Israel were making war on Gibbethon.
Awo Baasa mutabani wa Akiya ow’omu nnyumba ya Isakaali n’amukolera olukwe, n’amuttira e Gibbesoni ekibuga ky’Abafirisuuti, Nadabu ne Isirayiri yenna bwe baali bakitaayizza.
28 In the third year of the rule of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha put him to death, and became king in his place.
Baasa n’atta Nadabu mu mwaka ogwokusatu ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa kabaka wa Yuda, ye n’alya obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri.
29 And straight away when he became king, he sent destruction on all the offspring of Jeroboam; there was not one living person of all the family of Jeroboam whom he did not put to death, so the word of the Lord, which he said by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite, came about;
Amangwago nga kyajje alye obwakabaka, n’atta ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu yonna n’atalekaawo muntu n’omu omulamu. Yabazikiriza bonna ng’ekigambo kya Mukama kye yayogerera mu muddu we Akiya Omusiiro,
30 Because of the sins which Jeroboam did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath.
olw’ebibi bya Yerobowaamu bye yakola, era bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri, n’okusunguwaza ne bisunguwaza Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
Ebyafaayo ebirala eby’omu mirembe gya Nadabu, ne bye yakola, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days.
Ne wabangawo entalo wakati wa Asa ne Baasa kabaka wa Isirayiri, ennaku zonna ez’okufuga kwabwe.
33 In the third year of the rule of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, became king over all Israel in Tirzah, and was king for twenty-four years.
Awo mu mwaka ogwokusatu ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa kabaka wa Yuda, Baasa mutabani wa Akiya n’afuuka kabaka wa Isirayiri yonna e Tiruza, era n’afugira emyaka amakumi abiri mu ena.
34 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the evil ways of Jeroboam and the sin which he made Israel do.
N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’atambulira mu ngeri za Yerobowaamu, ne mu kibi kye, kye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri.
