2 Kings 12
1 Joash became king in the seventh year of the reign of Jehu, and he reigned in Jerusalem for forty years. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
Mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu ogw’obufuzi bwa Yeeku, Yekoyaasi, nnyina nga ye Zebbiya ow’e Beeruseba, n’atandika okuba kabaka, n’afugira emyaka amakumi ana mu Yerusaalemi.
2 Joash did what was right in the Lord's sight during the years that Jehoiada the priest advised him.
Yekoyaasi n’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, ebbanga lyonna, kubanga Yekoyaada kabona ye yamuyigirizanga.
3 Even so, the high places were not removed—the people went on sacrificing and presenting burnt offerings at these places.
Wabula, ebifo ebigulumivu tebyaggibwawo, n’abantu ne beeyongeranga okuwaayo ssaddaaka n’okwoterezanga obubaane ku bifo ebyo.
4 Joash told the priests, “Collect together all the money that is brought as holy offerings to the Lord's Temple, whether the census money, the money from individual vows, and the money brought as a voluntary donation to the Lord's Temple.
Awo Yekoyaasi n’agamba bakabona nti, “Mukuŋŋaanye ensimbi zonna ezireetebwa ng’ebiweebwayo ebitukuzibwa mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ensimbi ez’omusolo buli muntu z’awaayo, n’ensimbi buli muntu z’awaayo ng’endobolo mu yeekaalu, n’ensimbi buli muntu ze yeesalira kyeyagalire, n’azireeta mu yeekaalu ya Mukama,
5 Let each priest receive the money from those who give, and use it to repair whatever damage is discovered in the Temple.”
n’oluvannyuma buli kabona addire ezo z’akuŋŋaanyizza aziweeyo okuddaabiriza buli aweetaagisa ku yeekaalu.”
6 But by the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash, the priests still had not repaired the damage to the Temple.
Naye oluvannyuma lw’emyaka amakumi abiri mu esatu egy’obufuzi bwa kabaka Yekoyaasi, bakabona ne baba nga tebannaddaabiriza yeekaalu.
7 So King Joash called together Jehoiada and the other priests and asked, “Why haven't you repaired the damage in the Temple? Don't use any more money you're given for yourselves, instead hand it over to others to repair the Temple.”
Awo kabaka Yekoyaasi n’atumya Yekoyaada kabona asinga obukulu ne bakabona abalala, n’ababuuza nti, “Kiki ekibalobera okuddaabiriza yeekaalu? Kale nno, mulekeraawo okutoola ku nsimbi ezikuŋŋaanyizibwa, naye muziweeyo olw’okuddaabiriza yeekaalu.”
8 The priests agreed not to receive any more money from the people, and that they wouldn't carry out the repairs to the Temple themselves.
Bakabona ne bakkiriziganya obutaddayo kukuŋŋaanya nsimbi ku bantu, wadde bo bennyini okuvunaanyizibwa okuddaabiriza yeekaalu.
9 Jehoiada the priest took a large wooden box, cut a hole in its lid, and placed it on the right side of the altar next to the entrance to the Lord's Temple. There the priests who guarded the doorway put all the money brought into the Lord's Temple into the collection box.
Yekoyaada kabona asinga obukulu n’addira essanduuko n’awumula ekituli mu kisaanikizo kyayo, n’agiteeka ku luuyi olwa ddyo okumpi n’ekyoto okuliraana n’awayingirirwa. Bakabona abaakuumanga omulyango ne bateekangamu ensimbi zonna ezaaleetebwanga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
10 Whenever they saw there was a lot of money in the box, the king's secretary and the high priest would come, count the money brought into the Lord's Temple, and put it into bags.
Awo bwe baalabanga ng’ensimbi ezireeteddwa mu yeekaalu ya Mukama ziweze nnyingi mu ssanduuko, omuwandiisi wa kabaka ne kabona asinga obukulu ne bajjanga okuzibala n’okuzitereka.
11 Then they weighed out the money and gave it to the supervisors of the work on the Lord's Temple. They paid the ones doing the work—the carpenters, builders,
N’oluvannyuma ensimbi ezo baazikwasanga abasajja abaali baweereddwa obuvunaanyizibwa okulabiriranga omulimu ogwakolebwanga ku yeekaalu, bo ne basasulanga abakozi, n’abazimbi abaabulijjo, n’abazimbi b’amayinja, n’abatema amayinja, abo bonna nga baddaabiriza yeekaalu ya Mukama.
12 masons, and stonecutters. They also bought the timber and blocks of cut stone needed for the repair of the Lord's Temple, and paid all the other costs of restoring the Temple.
Ate era ku ezo ensimbi kwe baagulanga embaawo, n’amayinja amabajje okuddaabiriza yeekaalu ya Mukama n’olwebirala ebyetaagisanga mu kuddaabiriza okwo.
13 However, the money collected for the Lord's Temple was not used for making silver basins, lamp trimmers, bowls, trumpets, or any items of gold or silver for the Lord's Temple.
Ensimbi ezaaleetebwanga mu yeekaalu tezaakozesebwanga kukola bensani eza ffeeza, oba ebisalako ebisirinza, oba ebibya, oba amakondeere wadde ekintu kyonna ekya zaabu oba ffeeza ebyabeeranga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama;
14 It was used to pay the workers doing the repairs to the Lord's Temple.
kubanga baazisasulanga abakozi abaali baddaabiriza yeekaalu.
15 No accounts were demanded from the men who received the money to pay the workers because they did everything honestly.
Era kyali tekyetagisa abasajja be baakwasa ensimbi, okulaga enkozesa y’ensimbi ezo kubanga baakolanga n’obwesigwa.
16 The money from the guilt offerings and sin offerings was not collected for the Lord's Temple because it belonged to the priests.
Ensimbi ezaavanga mu biweebwayo eby’okulumiriza n’ebiweebwayo olw’ekibi tezaaleetebwanga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, zaabanga za bakabona.
17 Around this time Hazael, king of Aram, went and attacked Gath, and captured it. Then he marched to attack Jerusalem.
Mu biro ebyo Kazayeeri kabaka w’e Busuuli n’alumba ekibuga ky’e Gaasi, n’akiwamba, n’oluvannyuma n’atandika okulumba n’e Yerusaalemi.
18 So King Joash of Judah took all the holy objects dedicated by his forefathers Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, the kings of Judah, along with all the items he had dedicated himself, and all the gold found in the treasuries of the Lord's Temple and the royal palace, and he sent everything to Hazael, king of Aram. So Hazael retreated from Jerusalem.
Naye Yekoyaasi kabaka wa Yuda n’addira ebintu byonna ebyatukuzibwa Yekosafaati, ne Yekolaamu ne Akaziya bajjajjaabe bassekabaka ba Yuda, n’ebirabo bye yali awonze, ne zaabu yonna eyali mu mawanika, n’abiggya mu yeekaalu ya Mukama n’abiweereza Kazayeeri kabaka w’e Busuuli. Oluvannyuma Kazayeeri n’alekayo okulumba Yerusaalemi.
19 The rest of what happened in Joash's reign and all that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Yekoyaasi, ne bye yakola byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
20 His officials plotted against him and murdered him at Beth Millo, on the road that goes down to Silla.
Abaami be ne beekobaana, ne bamuttira mu nnyumba ey’e Miiro, ku kkubo eriserengeta e Siiro.
21 The officials who attacked and killed him were Jozacar, son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, son of Shomer. They buried him with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Amaziah succeeded him as king.
Abaali mu lukwe olwo baali Yozakali mutabani wa Simeyaasi ne Yekozabadi mutabani wa Someri, era be baamutta. N’afa n’aziikibwa awali bajjajjaabe mu kibuga kya Dawudi. Amaziya mutabani we n’amusikira.
