1 Kings 16
1 Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasa, saying:
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeeku mutabani wa Kanani nga kyogera ku Baasa nti,
2 Forasmuch as I have exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel, and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins:
“Nakugulumiza nga nkuggya mu nfuufu ne nkufuula mukulembeze w’abantu bange Isirayiri, naye watambulira mu ngeri za Yerobowaamu era n’oyonoonyesa abantu bange Isirayiri, ne bansunguwaza n’ebibi byabwe.
3 Behold, I will cut down the posterity of Baasa, and the posterity of his house, and I will make thy house as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
Laba, ndisaanyizaawo ddala Baasa n’ennyumba ye, era ndifuula ennyumba ye okuba ng’eya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati.
4 Him that dieth of Baasa in the city, the dogs shall eat: and him that dieth of his in the country, the fowls of the air shall devour.
Omuntu yenna owa Baasa bw’alifiira mu kibuga, omulambo gwe guliriibwa embwa, n’abo abalifiira ku ttale, ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga zirirya emirambo gyabwe.”
5 But the rest of the acts of Baasa and all that he did, and his battles, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Ebyafaayo ebirala eby’omu mirembe gya Baasa, bye yakola, awamu n’ebintu ebirungi bye yakola, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
6 So Baasa slept with his fathers, and was buried in Thersa: and Ela his son reigned in his stead.
Awo Baasa ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe n’aziikibwa e Tiruza, mutabani we Era n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.
7 And when the word of the Lord came in the hand of Jehu the son of Hanani the prophet, against Baasa, and against his house, and against all the evil that he had done before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, to become as the house of Jeroboam: for this cause he slew him, that is to say, Jehu the son of Hanani, the prophet.
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kituukirira, ekyajjira Yeeku mutabani wa Kanani ekikwata ku Baasa n’ennyumba ye olw’ebibi bye yakola mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’amusunguwaza olw’ebyo bye yakola, n’olw’okwonoona ng’afaanana ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu, ate era n’olw’okuba nga yagisaanyaawo.
8 In the six and twentieth year of Asa king of Juda, Ela the son of Baasa reigned over Israel in Thersa two years.
Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri mu omukaaga ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa kabaka wa Yuda, Era mutabani wa Baasa n’afuuka kabaka wa Isirayiri; n’afugira mu Tiruza emyaka ebiri.
9 And his servant Zambri, who was captain of half the horsemen, rebelled against him: now Ela was drinking in Thersa, and drunk in the house of Arsa the governor of Thersa.
Awo Zimuli, omu ku bakungu be, eyakuliranga ekitundu ky’amagaali ge, n’amukolera olukwe. Mu kiseera ekyo Era yali Tiruza, ng’atamiirira mu maka ga Aluza, omusajja eyavunaanyizibwanga olubiri lw’e Tiruza.
10 And Zambri rushing in, struck him and slew him in the seven and twentieth year of Asa king of Juda, and he reigned in his stead.
Mu kiseera ekyo, Zimuli n’ayingira n’amukuba n’amutta, n’oluvannyuma n’alya obwakabaka. Gwali mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri mu omusanvu ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa kabaka wa Yuda.
11 And when he was king and sat upon his throne, he slew all the house of Baasa, and he left not one thereof to piss against a wall, and all his kinsfolks and friends.
Awo olwatuuka nga kyajje atuule ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka n’atta abantu b’ennyumba ya Baasa bonna, obutalekaawo musajja n’omu wa luganda lwa Baasa wadde mikwano gye.
12 And Zambri destroyed all the house of Baasa, according to the word of the Lord, that he had spoken to Baasa in the hand of Jehu the prophet,
Bw’atyo Zimuli n’asaanyaawo ennyumba ya Baasa yonna, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyali kye yayogera ku Baasa ng’ayita mu nnabbi Yeeku,
13 For all the sins of Baasa, and the sins of Ela his son, who sinned, and made Israel to sin, provoking the Lord the God of Israel with their vanities.
olw’ebibi bya Baasa ne mutabani we Era bye baakola n’okwonoonyesa Isirayiri, nga basunguwaza Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri olwa bakatonda beebeekolera abatagasa.
14 But the rest of the acts of Ela, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Eby’afaayo ebirala eby’omu mirembe gya Era, ne bye yakola byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo ky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
15 In the seven and twentieth year of Asa king of Juda, Zambri reigned seven days in Thersa: now the army was besieging Gebbethon a city of the Philistines.
Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri mu omusanvu ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa kabaka wa Yuda, Zimuli n’afugira e Tiruza ennaku musanvu. Eggye lyali lisiisidde okumpi ne Gibbesoni ekibuga ky’Abafirisuuti.
16 And when they heard that Zambri had rebelled, and slain the king, all Israel made Amri their king, who was general over Israel in the camp that day.
Ku lunaku olwo Abayisirayiri abaali mu nkambi bwe baawulira nti Zimuli yasala olukwe, n’atta kabaka, Isirayiri yonna ne balangirira Omuli omuduumizi w’eggye okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri.
17 And Amri went up, and all Israel with him from Gebbethon, and they besieged Thersa.
Omuli n’Abayisirayiri bonna abaali awamu naye ne bava e Gibbesoni ne bambuka okuzingiza Tiruza.
18 And Zambri seeing that the city was about to be taken, went into the palace and burnt himself with the king’s house: and he died
Zimuli bwe yalaba ng’ekibuga kiwambiddwa, n’addukira mu lubiri olw’omunda, olubiri lwonna n’alukumako omuliro. N’afiira omwo.
19 In his sins, which he had sinned, doing evil before the Lord, and walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
Ekyo kyamutuukako olw’ebibi bye yakola mu maaso ga Mukama, n’okutambulira mu ngeri za Yerobowaamu, ne mu kibi kye yakola, ne bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri.
20 But the rest of the acts of Zambri, and of his conspiracy and tyranny, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Eby’afaayo ebirala eby’omu mirembe gya Zimuli, n’obujeemu bwe, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
21 Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: one half of the people followed Thebni the son of Gineth, to make him king: and one half followed Amri.
Abantu ba Isirayiri ne baawukanamu ebibiina bibiri, ekitundu ekimu nga kiwagira Tibuni mutabani wa Ginasi okuba kabaka, nga n’ekitundu ekirala kiwagira Omuli.
22 But the people that were with Amri, prevailed over the people that followed Thebni the son of Gineth: and Thebni died, and Amri reigned.
Naye abagoberezi ba Omuli ne basinza aba Tibuni mutabani wa Ginasi amaanyi; Tibuni n’afa, Omuli n’afuuka kabaka.
23 In the one and thirtieth year of Asa king of Juda, Amri reigned over Israel twelve years: in Thersa he reigned six years.
Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi asatu mu ogumu ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa kabaka wa Yuda, Omuli n’alya obwakabaka obwa Isirayiri era n’afugira emyaka kkumi n’ebiri, mukaaga ku gyo ng’ali mu Tiruza.
24 And he bought the hill of Samaria of Semer for two talents of silver: and he built upon it, and he called the city which he built Samaria, after the name of Semer the owner of the hill.
Yagula olusozi lw’e Samaliya ku Semeri, ekilo nsanvu eza ffeeza, n’aluzimbako ekibuga, n’akituuma Samaliya, okukibbulamu Semeri eyali nannyini lusozi.
25 And Amri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and acted wickedly above all that were before him.
Naye Omuli n’akola ebyali ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, era n’ayonoona nnyo okusinga n’abo abaamusooka.
26 And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins wherewith he made Israel to sin: to provoke the Lord the God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
N’atambulira mu ngeri zonna eza Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, ne mu kibi kye, kye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri era n’asunguwaza Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri olwa bakatonda beebeekolera abatagasa.
27 Now the rest of the acts of Amri, and the battles he fought, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Ebyafaayo ebirala eby’omu mirembe gya Omuli, ne bye yakola, n’ebyobuzira bye, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
28 And Amri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, and Achab his son reigned in his stead.
Omuli ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe n’aziikibwa mu Samaliya; Akabu n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.
29 Now Achab the son of Amri reigned over Israel in the eight and thirtieth year of Asa king of Juda. And Achab the son of Amri reigned over Israel in Samaria two and twenty years.
Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi asatu mu omunaana ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa Kabaka wa Yuda, Akabu mutabani wa Omuli n’alya obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri, n’afugira Isirayiri mu Samaliya emyaka amakumi abiri mu ebiri.
30 And Achab the son of Amri did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him.
Akabu mutabani wa Omuli n’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama okusinga bonna abaamusooka.
31 Nor was it enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat: but he also took to wife Jezabel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians. And he went, and served Baal, and adored him.
Teyakoma ku kukola bibi bya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, naye era n’awasa ne Yezeberi muwala wa Esubaali kabaka w’Abasidoni, era n’atandika okuweereza n’okusinza Baali.
32 And he set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal, which he had built in Samaria,
Yazimbira Baali ekyoto mu ssabo lya Baali lye yazimba mu Samaliya.
33 And he planted a grove: and Achab did more to provoke the Lord the God of Israel, than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
Akabu n’akola n’empagi ya Baaseri, ne yeeyongera nnyo okusunguwaza Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, okusinga bakabaka abalala bonna aba Isirayiri abaamusooka.
34 In his days Hiel of Bethel built Jericho: in Abiram his firstborn he laid its foundations: and in his youngest son Segub he set up the gates thereof: according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Josue the son of Nun.
Ku mirembe gya Akabu, Kyeri Omubeseri n’addaabiriza era n’azimba Yeriko. Era olw’ekigambo kya Mukama kye yayogerera mu Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, Kyeri bwe yassaawo emisingi gyakyo, n’afiirwa Abiraamu mutabani we omukulu; bwe yazimba wankaaki waakyo, Segubi mutabani we asembayo obuto naye n’afa.
