2 Chronicles 16
1 In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasa king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi asatu mu omukaaga ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa, Baasa kabaka wa Isirayiri n’alumba Yuda, n’azimba ebigo ku Laama okuziyiza omuntu yenna okuyingira wadde okufuluma mu nsalo ya Asa kabaka wa Yuda.
2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Aram, that dwelt at Damascus, saying:
Awo Asa n’addira ffeeza ne zaabu ebyali mu mawanika ga yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebyali mu lubiri lwa kabaka, n’abiweereza Benikadadi kabaka w’e Busuuli, eyabeeranga e Ddamasiko, n’aweereza n’obubaka nti,
3 'There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father; behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me.'
“Wabeerewo endagaano wakati wo nange, ng’eri eyaliwo wakati wa kitange ne kitaawo. Laba, nkuweerezza ffeeza ne zaabu omenyewo endagaano yo wakati wo ne Baasa kabaka wa Isirayiri, anveeko.”
4 And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store-cities of Naphtali.
Benikadadi n’akkiriziganya ne kabaka Asa, era n’aweereza abaduumizi b’eggye lye okulumba ebibuga bya Isirayiri; ne bawamba Yiyoni, ne Ddaani ne Aberumayimu, n’ebibuga byonna eby’amaterekero ebya Nafutaali.
5 And it came to pass, when Baasa heard thereof, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.
Awo Baasa bwe yawulira ekyo, n’alekeraawo okuzimba mu Laama, n’omulimu n’agukomya.
6 Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasa had builded; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
Kabaka Asa n’aleeta Yuda yenna e Laama, ne baggyayo amayinja n’embaawo Baasa bye yali azimbisa, Asa n’abikozesa okuzimba Geba ne Mizupa.
7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him: 'Because thou hast relied on the king of Aram, and hast not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Aram escaped out of thy hand.
Mu biro ebyo Kanani omulabi n’ajja eri Asa kabaka wa Yuda, n’amugamba nti, “Olw’okwesiga kabaka w’e Busuuli mu kifo ky’okwesiga Mukama Katonda wo, eggye lya kabaka w’e Bwasuli kyelivudde likuddukako.
8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge host, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, He delivered them into thy hand.
Abaesiyopiya n’Abalubimu tebaali ggye ddene nga balina amagaali mangi n’abeebagala embalaasi bangi? Naye, olwokubanga weesiga Mukama, kyeyava abagabula mu mukono gwo.
9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is whole toward Him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for from henceforth thou shalt have wars.'
Kubanga amaaso ga Mukama galaba wonna mu nsi, nga ganyweza emitima gy’abo abamwesigira ddala. Ky’okoze kya busirusiru, era okuva ne leero ojja kubeeranga n’entalo.”
10 Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in the prison-house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.
Awo Asa n’anyiigira nnyo omulabi, n’amuteeka ne mu kkomera. Mu kiseera kye kimu Asa n’ayisa bubi nnyo abantu abamu.
11 And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Ebyafaayo eby’obufuzi bwa Asa okuva ku ntandikwa okutuusa ku nkomerero, byawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya bassekabaka ba Yuda ne Isirayiri.
12 And in the thirty and ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great; yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.
Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi asatu mu mwenda ogw’obufuzi bwe, Asa n’alwala ebigere. Newaakubadde ng’obulwadde bweyongera, teyanoonyanga buyambi okuva eri Mukama, yabunoonyanga mu basawo bokka.
13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
Awo mu mwaka ogw’amakumi ana mu ogumu ogw’obufuzi bwe, Asa ne yeebakira awamu ne bajjajjaabe.
14 And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had hewn out for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers' art; and they made a very great burning for him.
N’aziikibwa mu ntaana gye yali yeezimbidde mu kibuga kya Dawudi. Ne bamuteeka ku kitanda ekyaliko obuloosa obwenjawulo n’obuwoowo obwa buli kika, ne bamukumira n’ekyoto ky’omuliro kinene nnyo okujjukira bye yakola.
