< 2 Kings 13 >

1 In the three-and-twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, for seventeen years.
Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri mu esatu ogwa Yowaasi mutabani wa Akaziya kabaka wa Yuda, Yekoyakaazi n’afuuka kabaka wa Isirayiri mu Samaliya era n’afugira emyaka kkumi na musanvu.
2 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin; he departed not from them.
N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama ng’akola ebibi Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri, ate n’atabirekaayo.
3 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-Hadad the son of Hazael, all those days.
Obusungu bwa Mukama ne bubuubuukira ku Isirayiri, n’abawaayo okubeera wansi ow’omukono gwa Kazayeeri kabaka w’e Busuuli ne Benikadadi mutabani we.
4 (And Jehoahaz besought Jehovah, and Jehovah hearkened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.
Awo Yekoyakaazi ne yegayirira Mukama, Mukama n’amuwulira, era n’alaba okucocca, kabaka w’e Busuuli kwe yacoccanga Isirayiri.
5 And Jehovah gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents as before.
Mukama n’abaddiramu n’abawa omulokozi, ne bawona obufuzi bw’Abasuuli, n’oluvannyuma Abayisirayiri ne babeeranga mirembe mu nnyumba zaabwe nga bwe baali olubereberye.
6 Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin: they walked therein; and there remained also the Asherah in Samaria.)
Naye ne batalekaayo kukola ebibi eby’ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri, wabula beeyongeranga bweyongezi okubikola. N’empagi ey’Asera n’esigalayo mu Samaliya.
7 For he had left of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing.
Mukama teyalekerawo ggye lya Yekoyakaazi kintu okuggyako abasajja abeebagala embalaasi amakumi ataano, n’amagaali kkumi, n’abaserikale ab’ebigere omutwalo gumu, kubanga kabaka w’e Busuuli yabizikiriza, n’abifuula ng’enfuufu ey’omu gguuliro.
8 And the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Yekoyakaazi, ne bye yakola byonna, n’ebyobuzira bwe byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
9 And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria; and Joash his son reigned in his stead.
Yekoyakaazi n’afa, n’aziikibwa mu Samaliya, Yowaasi mutabani we n’amusikira.
10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, for sixteen years.
Awo mu mwaka ogw’amakumi asatu mu omusanvu ogwa Yowaasi kabaka wa Yuda, Yekoyaasi mutabani wa Yekoyakaazi n’afuuka kabaka wa Isirayiri mu Samaliya, era n’afugira emyaka kkumi na musanvu.
11 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah; he departed not from any of the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin: he walked therein.
N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, n’atalekaayo ebibi bya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri, wabula ne yeeyongera bweyongezi okubikola.
12 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Yekoyaasi, bye yakola byonna, n’amaanyi ge, nga kwe kuli n’olutalo lwe yalwana ne Amaziya kabaka wa Yuda, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
13 And Joash slept with his fathers, and Jeroboam sat upon his throne; and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Yekoyaasi n’afa, n’aziikibwa mu Samaliya, Yerobowaamu n’amusikira okuba kabaka.
14 And Elisha fell sick of his sickness in which he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over his face, and said, My father, my father! the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof!
Awo mu biro ebyo Erisa n’alwala nnyo, endwadde eyamutta, Yowaasi n’aserengeta gy’ali okumulaba, n’akaabira amaziga, mu maaso ge ng’agamba nti, “Kitange, Kitange, amagaali n’abeebagala embalaasi aba Isirayiri!”
15 And Elisha said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took a bow and arrows.
Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Ffuna omutego n’obusaale,” era n’akola bw’atyo.
16 And he said to the king of Israel, Put thy hand upon the bow. And he put his hand [upon it]; and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands,
N’agamba kabaka wa Isirayiri nti, “Bikwate mu ngalo.” Bwe yamala okukola ekyo, Erisa n’ateeka emikono gye ku gya kabaka.
17 and said, Open the window eastward. And he opened [it]. And Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, An arrow of Jehovah's deliverance, even an arrow of deliverance from the Syrians; and thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou hast consumed [them].
Erisa n’amugamba nti, “Ggulawo eddirisa ery’ebuvanjuba,” n’aliggulawo. N’amulagira okulasa. Erisa n’ayogera nti, “Akasaale ka Mukama ak’obuwanguzi, akasaale ak’obuwanguzi eri Obusuuli, era ojja kusaanyizaawo ddala Abasuuli mu Afeki.”
18 And he said, Take the arrows. And he took [them]. And he said to the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.
N’amugamba nti, “Kwata obusaale,” n’abukwata. N’agamba kabaka wa Isirayiri okulasa ettaka. N’alirasa emirundi esatu, n’akoma awo.
19 And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then wouldest thou have smitten the Syrians till thou hadst consumed [them]; whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.
Omusajja wa Katonda n’amunyiigira, n’amugamba nti, “Wandirasizza emirundi etaano oba mukaaga, olwo n’olyoka owangulira ddala Abasuuli era n’obasaanyaawo. Naye kaakano olibawangula emirundi esatu gyokka.”
20 And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
Erisa n’afa, n’aziikibwa. Ebibinja by’Abamowaabu byateranga okulumba ensi ku ntandikwa ya buli mwaka.
21 And it came to pass as they were burying a man, that behold, they saw the band, and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha; and the man went [down], and touched the bones of Elisha, and he revived, and stood upon his feet.
Awo olwatuuka, Abayisirayiri abamu baali baziika omusajja, ne balengera ekibinja eky’abasajja nga kijja, ne basuula omulambo gwe mu ntaana ya Erisa ne badduka. Omulambo gwe bwe gw’akoma ku magumba ga Erisa omusajja n’alamuka, era n’ayimirira.
22 And Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
Mu kiseera kye kimu Kazayeeri kabaka w’e Busuuli n’ajooga Isirayiri ebbanga lyonna Yekoyakaazi we yabeerera kabaka.
23 And Jehovah was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and he would not destroy them, neither did he cast them from his presence up to that time.
Naye Mukama n’abakwatirwa ekisa n’abasaasira, era n’assaayo omwoyo gye bali olw’endagaano gye yakola ne Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka ne Yakobo nti talibazikiririza ddala. N’okutuusa ku lunaku olwa leero tayagalanga kubazikiriza okuva mu maaso ge.
24 And Hazael king of Syria died, and Ben-Hadad his son reigned in his stead.
Kazayeeri kabaka w’e Busuuli n’afa, Benikadadi mutabani we n’amusikira.
25 And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Ben-Hadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father in the war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.
Awo Yekoyaasi mutabani wa Yekoyakaazi n’awamba nate ebibuga Benikadadi mutabani wa Kazayeeri bye yali awambye ku kitaawe Yekoyakaazi mu ntalo. Yowaasi ye n’amuwangula emirundi esatu, era n’akomyawo ebibuga bya Isirayiri ebyali biwambiddwa.
