2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king.
Lekobowaamu n’agenda e Sekemu, Abayisirayiri bonna gye baali bagenze okumufuula kabaka.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who [was] in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard [it], that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati bwe yakiwulira, kubanga yali mu Misiri gye yali addukidde mu buwaŋŋanguse, nga yeewala kabaka Sulemaani, n’akomawo.
3 And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying,
Awo ne bamutumira, Yerobowaamu ne Isirayiri yenna ne bagenda eri Lekobowaamu ne bamugamba nti,
4 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
“Kitaawo yatuteekako ekikoligo ekinene, naye kaakano tukendeereze ku lyanyi n’ekikoligo kye yatuteekako, naffe tunaakuweereza.”
5 And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed.
N’abaddamu nti, “Mulikomawo gye ndi mu nnaku ssatu.” Abantu ne bagenda.
6 And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye [me] to return answer to this people?
Awo kabaka Lekobowaamu ne yeebuuza ku bakadde abaaweerezanga kitaawe Sulemaani ng’akyali mulamu. N’ababuuza nti, “Mumpa kya kuddamu ki eri abantu bano?”
7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
Ne bamugamba nti, “Bw’onooba ow’ekisa eri abantu bano, n’obasanyusa, n’obaddamu bulungi, banaabeeranga baddu bo ennaku zonna.”
8 But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.
Naye Lekobowaamu n’aggaya amagezi abakadde ge baali bamuwadde, n’agenda ne yeebuuza ku bavubuka be yali akuze nabo, ate nga be bamuweereza mu kiseera ekyo.
9 And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us?
N’ababuuza nti, “Mumpa magezi ki okuddamu abantu bano abaŋŋambye nti, ‘Tukendeereze ku kikoligo kitaawo kye yatuteekako?’”
10 And the young men that were brought up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou [it] somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little [finger] shall be thicker than my father’s loins.
Abavubuka be yali akuze nabo ne bamuddamu nti, “Gamba abantu abakugambye nti, ‘Ekikoligo kitaawo kye yatuteekako kyali kizito, naye kaakano kitukendeerezeko,’ nti, ‘Nasswi wange asinga ekiwato kya kitange obunene. Kitange yababinika ekikoligo ekizito, naye nze nzija kwongera ku kikoligo kyammwe obuzito.
11 For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.
Kitange yabakangavvulanga na nkoba naye nze nzija kubakangavvulanga na njaba ez’obusagwa.’”
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
Bwe waayitawo ennaku essatu Yerobowaamu n’abantu bonna ne bagenda eri Lekobowaamu, nga kabaka bwe yali ayogedde nti, “Mukomeewo oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ssatu.”
13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
Kabaka n’addamu n’ebboggo. N’agaana okuwuliriza amagezi g’abakadde,
14 And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.
n’agoberera amagezi ag’abavubuka, n’ayogera nti, “Kitange yababinika ekikoligo ekizito, naye nze nzija kukyongerako obuzito. Kitange yabakangavvulanga na nkoba, naye nze nzija kubakangavvulanga na njaba ez’obusagwa.”
15 So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Kabaka n’atawuliriza bantu kubanga bw’atyo Katonda bwe yasiima, okutuukiriza ekigambo Mukama kye yayogera ku Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati ng’ayita mu Akiya Omusiiro.
16 And when all Israel [ saw] that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and [we have] none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: [and] now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
Awo Isirayiri yenna bwe baalaba nga kabaka agaanye okubawuliriza, ne bamuddamu nti, “Mugabo ki gwe tulina mu Dawudi, era busika ki bwe tulina mu mutabani wa Yese? Buli omu ku mmwe, addeyo mu weema ye, ayi Isirayiri! Mmwe ennyumba ye Dawudi mwerabirire.” Awo Abayisirayiri bonna ne baddayo ewaabwe.
17 But [as for] the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Naye abo abaabeeranga mu bibuga bya Yuda, Lekobowaamu n’asigala ng’abafuga.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that [was] over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to [his] chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
Kabaka Lekobowaamu n’atuma Kadolaamu eyavunaanyizibwanga emirimu egy’ekipakasi, naye Abayisirayiri ne bamukuba amayinja ne bamutta. Kabaka Lekobowaamu ye n’ayanguwa okulinnya eggaali lye n’addukira e Yerusaalemi.
19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
Awo Isirayiri ne bajeemera ennyumba ya Dawudi n’okutuusa leero.
