1 Kings 15
1 Now in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, Abiam reigned over Juda.
Awo mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’omunaana ogw’obufuzi bwa Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, Abiyaamu n’atandika okufuga Yuda.
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Maacha the daughter of Abessalom.
Yafugira mu Yerusaalemi emyaka esatu. Nnyina ye yali Maaka muwala wa Abusaalomu.
3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was 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 for David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
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 had done that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from any thing that he commanded him, all the days of his life, except the matter of Urias the Hethite.
Dawudi yakola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, n’agondera ebiragiro bya Mukama ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe, okuggyako ensonga ya Uliya Omukiiti.
6 But there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all the time of his life.
Ne wabangawo entalo wakati w’ennyumba ya Lekobowaamu n’ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwa Abiyaamu.
7 And the rest of the words of Abiam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiam 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 And Abiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
Awo Abiyaamu ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe era n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi. Asa mutabani we n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.
9 So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, reigned Asa king of Juda,
Awo mu mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri ogw’obufuzi bwa Yerobowaamu kabaka wa Isirayiri, Asa n’alya obwakabaka bwa Yuda.
10 And he reigned one and forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom.
Yafugira mu Yerusaalemi emyaka amakumi ana mu gumu. Jjajjaawe omukazi nga ye Maaka muwala wa Abusaalomu.
11 And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David his father:
Asa n’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga jjajjaawe Dawudi bwe yakola.
12 And he took away the effeminate out of the land, and he removed all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.
N’agoba mu nsi abaalyanga ebisiyaga, era n’aggyawo n’ebifaananyi ebyakolebwa n’emikono byonna bajjajjaabe bye baakola.
13 Moreover he also removed his mother Maacha, from being the princess in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in the grove which she had consecrated to him: and he destroyed her den, and broke in pieces the filthy idol, and burnt it by the torrent Cedron:
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 But the high places he did not take away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days:
Newaakubadde nga teyaggyawo bifo bigulumivu, omutima gwe gwali ku Mukama ennaku ze zonna.
15 And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and he had vowed, into the house of the Lord, 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 And there was war between Asa, and Baasa king of Israel all their days.
Ne wabangawo entalo wakati wa Asa ne Baasa kabaka wa Isirayiri ennaku zonna ez’okufuga kwabwe.
17 And Baasa king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, that no man might go out or come in, of the side of Asa king of Juda.
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 that remained in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hands of his servants: and sent them to Benadad son of Tabremon the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in 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 There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: therefore I have sent thee presents of silver and gold: and I desire thee to come, and break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from 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 Benadad hearkening to king Asa, sent the captains of his army against the cities of Israel, and they smote Ahion, and Dan, and Abeldomum Maacha, and all Cenneroth, that is all the land of Nephtali.
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 when Baasa had heard this, he left off building Rama, and returned into Thersa.
Awo Baasa bwe yakiwulira n’alekeraawo okuzimba Laama, n’addukira e Tiruza.
22 But king Asa sent word into all Juda, saying: Let no man be excused: and they took away the stones from Rama, and the timber thereof wherewith Baasa had been building, and with them Asa built Gabaa of Benjamin, and Maspha.
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 But the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his strength, and all that he did and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his 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 And he slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David his father. And Josaphat his son reigned 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 But Nadab the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel the second year of Asa king of Juda: and he reigned over Israel 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 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’atambulira mu ngeri za kitaawe ne mu kibi kye, ebyaleetera Isirayiri okwonoona.
27 And Baasa the son of Ahias of the house of Issachar, conspired against him, and slew him in Gebbethon, which is a city of the Philistines: for Nadab and all Israel besieged Gebbethon.
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 So Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa king of Juda, and reigned 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 when he was king he cut off all the house of Jeroboam: he left not so much as one soul of his seed, till he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias the Silonite:
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 sin of Jeroboam, which he had sinned, and wherewith he had made Israel to sin, and for the offence, wherewith he provoked the Lord the God of Israel.
olw’ebibi bya Yerobowaamu bye yakola, era bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri, n’okusunguwaza ne bisunguwaza Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri.
31 But the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days 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 Baasa the 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 Asa king of Juda, Baasa the son of Ahias reigned over all Israel, in Thersa, four and twenty 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 And he did evil before the Lord, and walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’atambulira mu ngeri za Yerobowaamu, ne mu kibi kye, kye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri.
