2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah was fiue and twentie yere old when he began to reigne, and he reigned nine and twentie yeere in Ierusalem: and his mothers name was Iehoaddan, of Ierusalem.
Amaziya yalina emyaka amakumi abiri mu etaano we yafuukira kabaka, era n’afugira emyaka amakumi abiri mu mwenda mu Yerusaalemi. Nnyina ye yali Yekoyadaani ow’e Yerusaalemi.
2 And he did vprightly in the eyes of the Lord, but not with a perfite heart.
N’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, naye si na mutima ogutuukiridde.
3 And when the kingdome was established vnto him, he slewe his seruants, that had slaine the King his father.
Obwakabaka bwe bwanywezebwa mu buyinza bwe, n’atta abakungu abatta kabaka kitaawe.
4 But he slewe not their children, but did as it is written in the Lawe, and in the booke of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not dye for the children, neyther shall the children die for the fathers, but euery man shall dye for his owne sinne.
Naye n’atatta baana baabwe, wabula n’akola ng’etteeka mu kitabo kya Musa, Mukama we yalagira nti, “Abazadde tebattibwenga olw’ekibi ky’abaana baabwe, so n’abaana tebattibwenga olw’ekibi ky’abazadde baabwe, naye buli muntu anaafanga olw’ekibi kye ye.”
5 And Amaziah assembled Iudah, and made them captaines ouer thousandes, and captaines ouer hundreths, according to the houses of their fathers, thorowout all Iudah and Beniamin: and he nombred them from twentie yeere olde and aboue, and founde among them three hundreth thousand chosen men, to goe foorth to the warre, and to handle speare and shield.
Amaziya n’akuŋŋaanya abasajja ba Yuda, n’abategeka mu nnyiriri z’ennyumba zaabwe, nga baduumirwa ab’enkumi n’ab’ebikumi mu Yuda yonna ne mu Benyamini. N’oluvannyuma n’abala abo abaalina emyaka amakumi abiri n’okusingawo, ne baba abasajja emitwalo amakumi asatu, abaali basobola okugenda mu lutalo, era nga bayinza n’okukwata effumu n’ekitala.
6 He hyred also an hundreth thousand valiant men out of Israel for an hundreth talents of siluer.
Ate era n’agulayo n’abasajja abalala ab’amaanyi nga bazira emitwalo kkumi okuva mu Isirayiri, olwa ttani ssatu ne bisatu byakuna ebya ffeeza.
7 But a man of God came to him, saying, O King, let not the armie of Israel goe with thee: for the Lord is not with Israel, neither with all the house of Ephraim.
Naye ne wabaawo omusajja wa Katonda eyagenda gy’ali n’amugamba nti, “Ayi kabaka, tokkiriza eggye lya Isirayiri okugenda naawe, kubanga Mukama tali wamu ne Isirayiri, talina n’omu gwali naye ku bantu ba Efulayimu.
8 If not, goe thou on, doe it, make thy selfe strong to the battel, but God shall make thee fall before the enemie: for God hath power to helpe, and to cast downe.
Ate ne bw’onoogenda ng’olowooza nti oli muzira nnyo mu ntalo, Katonda alikuwaayo mu maaso g’omulabe, kubanga Katonda alina obuyinza okuyamba, n’okulekerera.”
9 And Amaziah sayde to the man of God, What shall we doe then for the hundreth talents, which I haue giuen to the hoste of Israel? Then the man of God answered, The Lord is able to giue thee more then this.
Awo Amaziya n’abuuza omusajja wa Katonda nti, “Naye tunaakola tutya ku bya ttani esatu n’ebisatu byakuna ebya ffeeza ze nasasula eggye lya Isirayiri?” Omusajja wa Katonda n’addamu nti, “Mukama ayinziza ddala okukuwa n’ebisinga ku ebyo.”
10 So Amaziah separated them, to wit, the armie that was come to him out of Ephraim, to returne to their place: wherefore their wrath was kindled greatly against Iudah, and they returned to their places with great anger.
Awo Amaziya n’alagira eggye eryali lizze gy’ali okuva mu Efulayimu okuddayo ewaabwe waalyo. Ne banyiigira nnyo Yuda, era ne baddayo ewaabwe nga banyiize nnyo.
11 Then Amaziah was encouraged, and led forth his people, and went to the salt valley, and smote of the children of Seir, ten thousand.
Amaziya ne yeefungiza, n’akulembera abantu be, n’agenda mu kiwonvu eky’omunnyo n’atta abasajja omutwalo gumu ab’e Seyiri.
12 And other ten thousand did the children of Iudah take aliue, and caryed them to the top of a rocke, and cast them downe from the top of the rocke, and they all burst to pieces.
Eggye lya Yuda ne liwamba n’abasajja abalala omutwalo gumu nga balamu, ne babatwala waggulu ku lwazi, ne babasuula wansi okuva ku bbangabanga, ne basesebbuka ebifiififi.
13 But the men of the armie, which Amaziah sent away, that they should not goe with his people to battell, fell vpon the cities of Iudah from Samaria vnto Beth-horon, and smote three thousand of them, and tooke much spoyle.
Naye eggye liri Amaziya lye yasindika okuddayo, n’ataliganya kugenda naye mu lutalo; lyalumba ebibuga bya Yuda okuva e Samaliya okutuuka e Besukolooni, ne litta abantu enkumi ssatu ku bo, era ne litwala n’omunyago mungi.
14 Now after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them vp to be his gods, and worshipped them, and burned incense vnto them.
Awo Amaziya bwe yakomawo ng’amaze okutta Abayedomu, n’aleeta bakatonda b’abantu ab’e Seyiri, n’abassaawo nga bakatonda be, n’abasinzanga, era n’abaweerangayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa.
15 Wherefore the Lord was wroth with Amaziah, and sent vnto him a Prophet, which sayd vnto him, Why hast thou sought the gods of the people, which were not able to deliuer their owne people out of thine hand?
Obusungu bwa Mukama kyebwava bubuubuukira ku Amaziya, n’amuweereza nnabbi, eyamutegeeza nti, “Lwaki ogoberera bakatonda b’abantu, abataayinza kulokola bantu baabwe mu mukono gwo?”
16 And as he talked with him, he said vnto him, Haue they made thee the Kings counseler? cease thou: why should they smite thee? And the Prophet ceased, but said, I knowe that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not obeyed my counsell.
Naye bwe yali ng’akyayogera, kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Twali tukulonze okuba omuwi wa magezi owa kabaka? Sirika! Lwaki onoonya okuttibwa?” Awo nnabbi nga tannasirika, n’ayogera kino nti, “Mmanyi nga Katonda amaliridde okukuzikiriza, kubanga tossizaayo mwoyo ku kubuulirira kwange.”
17 Then Amaziah King of Iudah tooke counsell, and sent to Ioash the sonne of Iehoahaz, the sonne of Iehu King of Israel, saying, Come, let vs see one another in the face.
Awo Amaziya kabaka wa Yuda ne yeebuuza ku bawi b’amagezi be, n’aweereza obubaka eri Yowaasi mutabani wa Yekoyakaazi, muzzukulu wa Yeeku, kabaka wa Isirayiri, ng’agamba nti, “Jjangu tusisinkane amaaso n’amaaso.”
18 But Ioash King of Israel sent to Amaziah King of Iudah, saying, The thistle that is in Lebanon, sent to the cedar that is in Lebanon, saying, Giue thy daughter to my sonne to wife: and the wilde beast that was in Lebanon went and trode downe the thistle.
Naye Yowaasi kabaka wa Isirayiri n’addamu Amaziya kabaka wa Yuda bw’ati nti, “Omwennyango ogwali mu Lebanooni gw’aweereza obubaka eri omuvule ogwali mu Lebanooni, nga gugamba nti, ‘Waayo muwala wo eri mutabani wange, amufumbirwe,’ naye ensolo ey’omu nsiko eyali mu Lebanooni, ng’eyitawo, n’erinnyirira omwennyango.
19 Thou thinkest: lo, thou hast smitten Edom, and thine heart lifteth thee vp to bragge: abide now at home: why doest thou prouoke to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, and Iudah with thee?
Weewaana nga bw’owangudde Edomu, era omutima gwo gujjudde okwegulumiza n’okwenyumiriza. Naye sigala ewuwo. Lwaki onoonya emitawaana, ne weeretera okugwa, ggwe ne Yuda?”
20 But Amaziah would not heare: for it was of God, that he might deliuer them into his had, because they had sought the gods of Edom.
Naye Amaziya n’atawuliriza, kubanga okuwangulwa abalabe baabwe kwava eri Katonda, kubanga bava ku Katonda waabwe ne banoonya bakatonda ba Edomu.
21 So Ioash the King of Israel went vp: and he, and Amaziah King of Iudah saw one another in the face at Bethshemesh, which is in Iudah.
Awo Yowaasi kabaka wa Isirayiri n’alumba, ye ne Amaziya kabaka wa Yuda ne basisinkana amaaso n’amaaso mu lutalo e Besusemesi ekya Yuda.
22 And Iudah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled euery man to his tents.
Isirayiri n’awangula Yuda, buli muntu n’addukira ewuwe.
23 But Ioash the King of Israel tooke Amaziah King of Iudah, the sonne of Ioash, the sonne of Iehoahaz in Bethshemesh, and brought him to Ierusalem, and brake downe the wall of Ierusalem, from the gate of Ephraim vnto the corner gate, foure hundreth cubites.
Yowaasi kabaka wa Isirayiri n’awambira Amaziya kabaka wa Yuda mutabani wa Yowaasi, muzzukulu wa Yekoyakaazi e Besusemesi, n’amuleeta e Yerusaalemi. Yowaasi n’amenyaamenya n’ekitundu ekya bbugwe wa Yerusaalemi okuva ku mulyango gwa Efulayimu okutuuka ku Mulyango ogw’oku Nsonda, eyali mita kikumi mu kinaana obuwanvu.
24 And he tooke all the gold and the siluer, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obed Edom, and in the treasures of the Kings house, and the children that were in hostage, and returned to Samaria.
N’atwala ezaabu n’effeeza yonna, n’ebintu ebirala byonna ebyali mu yeekaalu ya Katonda ebyali bikuumibwa Obededomu, wamu n’eby’obugagga eby’omu lubiri, n’abawambe, n’addayo e Samaliya.
25 And Amaziah the sonne of Ioash King of Iudah liued after the death of Ioash sonne of Iehoahaz King of Israel, fifteene yeere.
Awo Amaziya mutabani wa Yowaasi kabaka wa Yuda n’awangaala emyaka emirala kkumi n’ettaano, oluvannyuma olw’okufa kwa Yowaasi mutabani wa Yekoyakaazi, kabaka wa Isirayiri.
26 Concerning the rest of the actes of Amaziah first and last, are they not written in the booke of the Kings of Iudah and Israel?
Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Amaziya, okuva ku ntandikwa okutuuka ku nkomerero, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya bassekabaka ba Yuda ne Isirayiri?
27 Nowe after the time that Amaziah did turne away from ye Lord, they wrought treason against him in Ierusalem: and when he was fled to Lachish, they sent to Lachish after him, and slewe him there.
Okuva mu kiseera, Amaziya lwe yakyuka okuva ku Mukama, baamusalira olukwe mu Yerusaalemi, n’addukira e Lakisi. Kyokka ne bamusindikira abasajja abaamugoberera okutuuka e Lakisi, era ne bamuttira eyo.
28 And they brought him vpon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the citie of Iudah.
Omulambo gwe ne baguleetera ku mbalaasi, n’aziikibwa mu masiro ga bajjajjaabe mu kibuga kya Yuda.
