2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not what was right in the sight of Jehovah, like David his father,
Akazi yali wa myaka amakumi abiri we yaliira obwakabaka, n’afugira emyaka kkumi na mukaaga mu Yerusaalemi. Naye obutafaanana nga jjajjaawe Dawudi, yakola ebitali bya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama.
2 but walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and even made molten images for the Baals;
N’atambulira mu makubo ga bassekabaka ba Isirayiri, n’okukola n’akola ebifaananyi ebisaanuuse ebyakozesebwanga mu kusinza Baali.
3 and he burned incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burned his sons in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel.
N’ayoterezanga obubaane mu kiwonvu kya mutabani wa Kinomu, n’awaayo batabani be okuba ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, ng’agoberera emizizo gy’abannaggwanga, Mukama be yagoba mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri.
4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
N’awangayo ssaddaaka wamu n’okwoterezanga obubaane mu bifo ebigulumivu, ne ku ntikko z’ensozi, ne wansi wa buli muti omubisi.
5 Therefore Jehovah his God gave him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also given into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.
Mukama Katonda we kyeyava amuwaayo mu mukono gwa kabaka w’e Busuuli, eyamuwangula n’atwala abantu ba Yuda bangi nga basibe, n’abaleeta e Ddamasiko. Ate era yaweebwayo ne mu mukono gwa kabaka wa Isirayiri, eyaleeta ku bantu ba Yuda ebisago ebinene.
6 And Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all valiant men, because they had forsaken Jehovah the God of their fathers.
Peka mutabani wa Lemaliya yatta abaserikale ba Yuda emitwalo kkumi n’ebiri mu lunaku lumu, kubanga baali bavudde ku Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe.
7 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah the second to the king.
Ne Zikuli, omusajja omulwanyi omuzira owa Efulayimu n’atta Maaseya mutabani wa kabaka, ne Azulikamu omukulu w’olubiri ne Erukaana omukungu, addirira kabaka.
8 And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took away also much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.
Abayisirayiri ne bawamba abakyala, n’abaana aboobulenzi, n’aboobuwala, emitwalo amakumi abiri ku baganda baabwe, ne babatwala nga basibe e Samaliya, ate ne babatwalako n’omunyago mungi.
9 But a prophet of Jehovah was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because Jehovah the God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he gave them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reaches up to heaven.
Awo Odedi nnabbi wa Mukama eyali eyo n’agenda okusisinkana eggye eryali lijja e Samaliya, n’abagamba nti, “Laba, kubanga Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjammwe yasunguwalira Yuda, kyeyava abawaayo mu mukono gwammwe, kyokka mubasse n’ekiruyi n’okutuuka ne kituuka mu ggulu.
10 And now ye think to subjugate the children of Judah and Jerusalem as your bondmen and bondwomen. Are there not with you, even with you, trespasses against Jehovah your God?
Kaakano, abasajja n’abakazi aba Yuda ne Yerusaalemi mumaliridde, okubafuula abaddu bammwe. Naye bwe mmwekebera, temulina kye mwali musobezza Mukama Katonda wammwe?
11 And now hear me, and send back the captives again, whom ye have taken captive of your brethren; for the fierce wrath of Jehovah is upon you.
Kale nno, mumpulirize, muleke baganda bammwe be muwambye baddeyo ewaabwe, kubanga Mukama abasunguwalidde mmwe.”
12 And certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Hezekiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,
Awo abamu ku bakadde ba Efulayimu, Azaliya mutabani wa Yokanaani, ne Berakiya mutabani wa Mesiremosi, ne Yekizukiya mutabani wa Sallumu, ne Amasa mutabani wa Kadalayi, ne bayimirira okuziyiza abo abaali bava mu lutalo.
13 and said to them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither; because, for our guilt before Jehovah, ye think to increase our sins and our trespasses: for our trespass is great, and fierce wrath is upon Israel.
Ne babagamba nti, “Temujja kuleeta basibe abo wano, kubanga mujja kutuleetako omusango eri Mukama nga mwongereza ku kibi ne ku musango bye tulina. Omusango gwaffe munene, n’obusungu bwe buli ku Isirayiri.”
14 Then the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.
Awo abaserikale ne basumulula abasibe, n’omunyago ne baguwaayo mu maaso g’abakungu n’ekibiina kyonna.
15 And the men that have been expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them on asses, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm-trees, to their brethren. And they returned to Samaria.
Ne balonda abasajja abaatwala abasibe ne baggya engoye mu munyago ne bambaza abo bonna abaali obwereere, ne babawa engoye endala, n’engatto, ne babawa emmere n’ekyokunywa, ne babanyiga n’ebiwundu. N’abaali abanafu ennyo bonna ne babasitulira ku ndogoyi, ne babazzaayo eri baganda baabwe e Yeriko, ekibuga eky’enkindu, bo ne bakomawo e Samaliya.
16 At that time king Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.
Awo mu biro ebyo kabaka Akazi n’asaba kabaka w’e Bwasuli amuyambe,
17 And again the Edomites came and smote Judah, and carried away captives.
kubanga Abayedomu baali bazeemu okulumba Yuda, ne batwala abantu mu busibe.
18 And the Philistines invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the south of Judah, and took Beth-shemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Socho and its dependent villages, and Timnah and its dependent villages, and Guimzo and its dependent villages; and they dwelt there.
Mu kiseera kyekimu Abafirisuuti baali balumbye ebibuga eby’omu nsenyi n’eby’omu bukiikaddyo obwa Yuda, nga bawambye Besusemesi, ne Ayalooni, ne Gederosi, ne Soko, ne Timuna, ne Gimuzo n’ebyalo ebyali byetoolodde ebibuga ebyo, era ng’omwo mwe babeera.
19 For Jehovah humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had made Judah lawless, and transgressed much against Jehovah.
Mukama yakkakkanya nnyo Yuda olw’ebibi n’obutali bwesigwa bwa Akazi kabaka wa Isirayiri eri Mukama, Akazi bye yakola mu Yuda.
20 And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and troubled him, and did not support him.
Tirugazupiruneseri kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’ajja gy’ali, n’amucocca mu kifo eky’okumuyamba.
21 For Ahaz stripped the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king and of the princes, and gave to the king of Assyria; but he was of no help to him.
Akazi n’aggya ebimu ku bintu ebyali mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ne ku ebyo ebyali mu lubiri lwa kabaka, ne ku bya balangira n’abiwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli; naye ekyo ne kitamuyamba.
22 And in the time of his trouble he transgressed yet more against Jehovah, this king Ahaz.
Mu kiseera ekyo kabaka Akazi we yalabira ennyo ennaku, yeeyongera obutaba mwesigwa eri Mukama.
23 And he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which had smitten him; and he said, Since the gods of the kings of Syria help them, I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
N’awangayo ssaddaaka eri bakatonda b’e Ddamasiko, abaali bamuwangudde, kubanga yalowooza nti, “Engeri bakatonda ba bakabaka b’e Busuuli bwe babayambye, nnaawaayo ssaddaaka gye bali, nange bannyambe.” Naye okwo kwe kwali okuzikirira kwe n’okwa Isirayiri yenna.
24 And Ahaz gathered the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and closed the doors of the house of Jehovah, and he made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
Akazi n’akuŋŋaanya ebintu eby’omu yeekaalu ya Katonda, n’abiggyamu, n’aggalawo enzigi za yeekaalu ya Mukama, ne yeezimbira ebyoto mu buli nsonda mu Yerusaalemi.
25 And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger Jehovah the God of his fathers.
Mu buli kibuga kya Yuda n’azimbamu ebifo ebigulumivu okuwerangayo ssaddaaka eri bakatonda abalala, n’asunguwaza Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabe.
26 And the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Ebyafaayo ebirala eby’omu mulembe gwe n’empisa ze zonna, okuva ku ntandikwa okutuusa ku nkomerero, byawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya bassekabaka ba Yuda ne Isirayiri.
27 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem; but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel. And Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
Akazi n’afa n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Yerusaalemi, naye si mu masiro ga bassekabaka ba Isirayiri. Keezeekiya mutabani we n’amusikira.
