2 Chronicles 17
1 And Iehosphat his sonne reigned in his steade, and preuailed against Israel.
Yekosafaati mutabani wa Asa n’asikira Asa bw’atyo n’afuuka kabaka, n’okwenyweza ne yeenyweza eri Isirayiri.
2 And he put garisons in all the strong cities of Iudah, and set bandes in the lande of Iudah and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
N’ateeka abaserikale mu bibuga ebiriko bbugwe ebya Yuda, n’ateeka n’eggye mu Yuda, ne mu bibuga ebya Efulayimu, kitaawe Asa bye yali awambye.
3 And the Lord was with Iehoshaphat, because he walked in the first wayes of his father Dauid, and sought not Baalim,
Mukama n’abeera wamu ne Yekosafaati kubanga mu buto bwe yatambuliranga mu makubo ga jjajjaawe Dawudi ge yatambulirangamu. Teyeebuuza ku Babaali,
4 But sought the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandements, and not after the trade of Israel.
naye yanoonya Katonda wa kitaawe, era n’agoberera amateeka ge okusinga engeri za Isirayiri.
5 Therefore the Lord stablished the kingdome in his hande, and all Iudah brought presents to Iehoshaphat, so that he had of riches and honour in abundance.
Mukama n’anyweza obwakabaka mu mukono gwe, era Yuda yenna ne baleetera Yekosafaati ebirabo, n’aba n’obugagga bungi n’ekitiibwa kinene.
6 And he lift vp his heart vnto the wayes of the Lord, and he tooke away moreouer the hie places and the groues out of Iudah.
Omutima gwe ne gunywerera mu kkubo lya Mukama, n’okuggyawo n’aggyawo ebifo ebigulumivu n’ebifaananyi bya Baasera mu Yuda.
7 And in the thirde yere of his reigne he sent his princes, Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethaneel, and Michaiah, that they should teach in the cities of Iudah,
Mu mwaka ogwokusatu ogw’obufuzi bwe, n’atuma abakungu be bano: Benikayiri, ne Obadiya, ne Zekkaliya, ne Nesaneeri, ne Mikaaya okugenda nga bayigiriza mu bibuga bya Yuda.
8 And with them Leuites, Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehonathan, and Adoniiah, and Tobiiah, and Tob-adoniiah, Leuites, and with the Elishama and Iehoram Priestes.
Ne wabaawo n’Abaleevi abagenda nabo: Semaaya, ne Nesaniya, ne Zebadiya, ne Asakeri, ne Semiramoosi, ne Yekonasaani, ne Adoniya, ne Tobbiya, ne Tobadoniya, wamu ne Erisaama ne Yekolaamu.
9 And they taught in Iudah, and had the booke of the Lawe of the Lord with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Iudah, and taught the people.
Ne bayigiriza mu Yuda yonna, nga bakozesa Ekitabo ekya Mateeka ga Mukama; ne babuna mu bibuga byonna ebya Yuda ne bayigiriza abantu.
10 And the feare of the Lord fell vpon all the kingdomes of ye lands that were round about Iudah, and they fought not against Iehoshaphat.
Awo entiisa ya Mukama n’egwa ku bwakabaka obw’amawanga agaali geetoolodde Yuda, ne batakola ntalo na Yekosafaati.
11 Also some of the Philistims brought Iehoshaphat giftes and tribute siluer, and the Arabians brought him flockes, seuen thousande and seuen hundreth rammes, and seuen thousande and seuen hundreth hee goates.
Abamu ku Bafirisuuti ne baleetera Yekosafaati ebirabo, ne ffeeza ng’omusolo, ate Abawalabu ne bamuleetera ebisibo eby’endiga ennume kasanvu mu lusanvu, n’embuzi kasanvu mu lusanvu.
12 So Iehoshaphat prospered and grewe vp on hie: and he built in Iudah palaces and cities of store.
Yekosafaati ne yeeyongeranga amaanyi, n’azimba ebigo n’ebibuga eby’amaterekero mu Yuda,
13 And he had great workes in the cities of Iudah, and men of warre, and valiant men in Ierusalem.
n’abeera n’ebyamaguzi bingi ddala mu bibuga bya Yuda. Yalina n’abaserikale abatendeke mu Yerusaalemi nga bazira.
14 And these are the nombers of them after the house of their fathers, In Iudah were captaines of thousands, Adnah the captaine, and with him of valiant men three hundreth thousande.
Okubalibwa ng’enju za bakitaabwe bwe zaali kwali bwe kuti: Okuva mu Yuda, abaduumizi ab’ebibinja eby’olukumi baali: Aduna omuduumizi ow’abasajja abalwanyi emitwalo amakumi asatu,
15 And at his hande Iehohanan a captaine, and with him two hundreth and fourescore thousande.
n’eyamuddiriranga yali Yekokanani omuduumizi ow’abasajja emitwalo amakumi abiri mu munaana;
16 And at his hande Amasiah the sonne of Zichri, which willingly offered him selfe vnto the Lord, and with him two hundreth thousand valiant men.
n’eyamuddiriranga yali Amasiya mutabani wa Zikuli, eyeewaayo obwebange okuweerezanga Mukama, omuduumizi ow’abasajja emitwalo amakumi abiri.
17 And of Beniamin, Eliada a valiant man, and with him armed men with bowe and shielde two hundreth thousand.
Okuva mu Benyamini: Eriyada, omuserikale omuzira, eyaduumiranga abasajja ab’obusaale n’engabo emitwalo amakumi abiri,
18 And at his hand Iehozabad, and with him an hundreth and fourescore thousand armed to the warre.
n’eyamuddiriranga ye yali Yekozabadi eyaduumiranga abasajja emitwalo kkumi na munaana abaali beeteeseteese okulwana.
19 These waited on the King, besides those which the King put in the strong cities thoroughout all Iudah.
Abo be basajja abaaweerezanga kabaka, obutassaako abo abaali mu bibuga ebyaliko bbugwe n’ebigo okubuna Yuda yonna.
