1 Kings 14
1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam was sick.
Awo mu biro ebyo Abiya mutabani wa Yerobowaamu n’alwala,
2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and go to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, who told me that [I should be] king over this people.
Yerobowaamu n’agamba mukyala we nti, “Golokoka ogende e Siiro, nga weefuddefudde baleme kumanya nga bw’oli mukazi wa Yerobowaamu. Akiya nnabbi, eyanjogerako nti ndiba kabaka w’abantu bano ali eyo.
3 And take with thee ten loaves, and cakes, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he will tell thee what shall become of the lad.
Twala emigaati kkumi, ne bukeeke, n’ensumbi ey’omubisi gw’enjuki, ogende gy’ali era ye alikubuulira omwana bw’aliba.”
4 And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. And Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
Awo muka Yerobowaamu n’akola bw’atyo, n’agenda ewa Akiya e Siiro. Akiya yali muzibe, kubanga amaaso ge gaali gayimbadde olw’obukadde.
5 And Jehovah said to Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee about her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her; for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign to be another.
Naye Mukama yali alabudde Akiya nga muka Yerobowaamu bw’anajja okumubuuza ebifa ku mutabani waabwe, eyali alwadde era nga bw’ajja okumuddamu, nga bw’anaatuuka ajja kwefuula okuba omuntu omulala.
6 And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou to be another? But I am sent to thee with a hard [message].
Awo Akiya bwe yawulira enswagiro ku mulyango, n’amugamba nti, “Yingira muka Yerobowaamu. Lwaki weefuula okuba omuntu omulala? Ntumiddwa gy’oli n’amawulire amabi.
7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,
Genda ogambe Yerobowaamu nti kino Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri ky’agamba nti, ‘Nakugulumiza nga nkuggya mu bantu, ne nkufuula omukulembeze wa bantu bange Isirayiri.
8 and rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee; and thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do only that which is right in my sight;
Naggya obwakabaka mu nnyumba ya Dawudi, ne mbukuwa, naye tobadde ng’omuddu wange Dawudi, eyagondera ebiragiro byange era n’abigoberera n’omutima gwe gwonna, ng’akola ekyo ekyali ekirungi mu maaso gange.
9 but thou hast done evil above all that were before thee, and hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:
Oyonoonye nnyo okusinga bonna abaakusooka. Weekoledde bakatonda abalala, n’okola n’ebifaananyi ebisaanuuse n’onneerabira; onsunguwazizza nnyo.
10 therefore behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every male, him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
“‘Kyendiva nsanyaawo ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu, era ndiggyawo ku Yerobowaamu buli mwana owoobulenzi yenna mu Isirayiri, omuddu n’atali muddu. Ndiyokya ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu, ng’omuntu bw’ayokya obusa, okutuusa lwe liggweerawo ddala.
11 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that dieth in the field shall the fowl of the heavens eat; for Jehovah hath spoken.
Abo bonna aba Yerobowaamu abalifiira mu kibuga, embwa zirirya emirambo gyabwe, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga zirirya egy’abo abalifiira ku ttale, kubanga Mukama y’akyogedde!’
12 And thou, arise, go to thine own house; when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
“Wabula ggwe, ddayo eka. Bw’onooba wakalinnya ekigere mu kibuga kyo, omulenzi anaafa.
13 And all Israel shall mourn for him, and they shall bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something good toward Jehovah the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
Isirayiri yonna banaamukaabira era ne bamuziika. Ye yekka ow’ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu aliziikibwa, kubanga ye yekka mu nnyumba ya Yerobowaamu Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, gw’alabyemu akalungi.
14 And Jehovah shall raise up for himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day; and what? ...even now.
“Mukama alyeyimusiza kabaka wa Isirayiri alisaanyaawo ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu mu kiseera ekitali ky’ewala nnyo.
15 And Jehovah will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their Asherahs, provoking Jehovah to anger.
Mukama aliva ku Isirayiri, abeere ng’ekitoogo bwe kinyeenyezebwa mu mazzi, era alisimbula Isirayiri okubaggya mu nsi eno ennungi eya bajjajjaabwe, n’abasaasaanyiza emitala w’Omugga, kubanga baasunguwaza Mukama bwe baakola bakatonda Baaseri.
16 And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, wherewith he has sinned, and made Israel to sin.
Era aliva ku Isirayiri olw’ebibi bya Yerobowaamu n’ebyo by’ayonoonesezza Isirayiri.”
17 And Jeroboam's wife arose and departed, and came to Tirzah; when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died.
Awo muka Yerobowaamu n’agolokoka okugenda e Tiruza. Olwayingira mu nnyumba yaabwe, omulenzi n’afa.
18 And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servant Ahijah the prophet.
Ne bamuziika, era Isirayiri yonna ne bamukungubagira ng’ekigambo kya Mukama kye yayogerera mu nnabbi Akiya bwe kyali.
19 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
N’ebirala byonna ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Yerobowaamu, entalo ze, n’okufuga kwe, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’eby’omu mirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
20 And the days that Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years; and he slept with his fathers. And Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
Yafugira emyaka amakumi abiri mu ebiri, oluvannyuma ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe; Nadabu mutabani we n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.
21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there; and his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.
Lekobowaamu mutabani wa Sulemaani n’alya obwakabaka bwa Yuda, ng’alina emyaka amakumi ana mu gumu. Yafugira emyaka kkumi na musanvu mu Yerusaalemi, ekibuga Mukama kye yeeroboza mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri olw’erinnya lye. Nnyina yayitibwanga Naama, Omwamoni.
22 And Judah did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed more than all that their fathers had done.
Yuda ne bakola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, okusinga ne bajjajjaabwe bye baakola era ebibi byabwe ne bikwasa Mukama obuggya.
23 And they also built for themselves high places, and columns, and Asherahs on every high hill and under every green tree;
Beezimbira ebifo ebigulumivu n’empagi za Baaseri ku buli lusozi oluwanvu ne wansi wa buli muti omugazi.
24 and there were also sodomites in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed before the children of Israel.
Era waaliwo n’abaalyanga ebisiyaga mu nsi, ne bakolanga eby’emizizo byonna abamawanga Katonda be yagoba mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri bye baakolanga.
25 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, [that] Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.
Mu mwaka ogwokutaano ogw’obufuzi bwa kabaka Lekobowaamu, Sisaki kabaka w’e Misiri n’alumba Yerusaalemi.
26 And he took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all; and he took away all the shields of gold that Solomon had made.
N’atwala eby’obugagga eby’omu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebyobugagga eby’omu lubiri lwa kabaka byonna, ng’okwo kw’otadde engabo eza zaabu Sulemaani ze yali akoze.
27 And king Rehoboam made in their stead brazen shields, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the couriers who kept the entrance of the king's house.
Awo kabaka Lekobowaamu n’akola engabo ez’ebikomo okuzzaawo ziri, era n’azikwasa abaduumizi b’abambowa abaakuumanga wankaaki w’olubiri lwa kabaka.
28 And it was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the couriers bore them, and brought them again into the chamber of the couriers.
Buli Kabaka lwe yalaganga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, abambowa ne bambalira engabo ezo, era Oluvannyuma ne bazizaayo mu kisenge ky’abambowa we zaaterekebwanga.
29 And the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ebyafaayo ebirala byonna eby’omulembe gwa Lekobowaamu, ne bye yakola byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all [their] days.
Waabangawo entalo ez’olubeerera wakati wa Lekobowaamu ne Yerobowaamu.
31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.
Lekobowaamu ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, era n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi. Nnyina yayitibwanga Naama Omwamoni. Abiyaamu mutabani we n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.
