< Kings IV 11 >
1 And Gotholia the mother of Ochozias saw that her son was dead, and she destroyed all the seed royal.
Awo Asaliya nnyina Akaziya bwe yalaba mutabani we ng’afudde, n’atandika okusaanyaawo olulyo olulangira lwonna.
2 And Josabee daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of her brother, and stole him from among the king's sons that were put to death, [secreting] him and his nurse in the bedchamber, and hid him from the face of Gotholia, and he was not slain.
Naye omumbejja Yekoseba muwala wa kabaka Yolaamu mwannyina Akaziya n’abba Yekoyaasi n’amuggya mu balangira abaali bagenda okuttibwa, n’abateeka ye n’omukuza we mu kisenge ekimu ng’abakweka Asaliya, era Yekoyaasi n’atattibwa.
3 And he remained with her hid in the house of the Lord six years: and Gotholia reigned over the land.
N’abeera mu yeekaalu ya Mukama n’omukuza we okumala emyaka mukaaga, Asaliya nga y’afuga ensi.
4 And in the seventh year Jodae sent and took the captains of hundreds of the Chorri and of the Rhasim, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant of the Lord with them, and adjured them, and Jodae showed them the king's son.
Mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu Yekoyaada n’atumya abaduumizi ab’ebibinja by’ekikumi, ab’oku Bakali n’abakuumi, ne babaleeta gy’ali mu yeekaalu ya Mukama. N’alagaana nabo endagaano, n’abalayiriza mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’oluvannyuma n’abalaga mutabani wa kabaka.
5 And charged them, saying, This [is] the thing which you shall do.
N’abawa ebiragiro bino nti, “Kino kye muteekwa okukola: kimu kya kusatu ku kibinja ekikuuma ku ssabbiiti, kye kinaakuumanga olubiri lwa kabaka,
6 Let a third part of you go in [on] the sabbath-day, and keep you the watch of the king's house in the porch; and another third in the gate of the high way, and a third at the gate behind the footmen; and keep you the guard of the house.
n’ekimu kya kusatu ekirala ne kikuuma Omulyango Suuli, n’ekimu kya kusatu ekirala ne kikuuma emanju w’omulyango ewabeera abakuumi abakuuma yeekaalu mu mpalo;
7 And there [shall be] two parties among you, even every one that goes out on the Sabbath, and they shall keep the guard of the Lord's house before the king.
n’ebibiina byammwe ebibiri ebitatera kukuuma ku ssabbiiti, mwenna mugenda kuvunaanyizibwa okukuuma yeekaalu ya Mukama ku lwa kabaka.
8 And do you compass the king about every man with his weapon in his hand, and he that goes into the ranges shall die: and they shall be with the king in his going out and in his coming in.
Era muneetooloola kabaka enjuuyi zonna, buli muntu ng’akutte ebyokulwanyisa bye mu mukono gwe, ne buli anaŋŋaanga okubasemberera attibwe. Mukuumenga kabaka butiribiri, bw’anaafulumanga ne bw’anaayingiranga.”
9 And the captains of hundreds did all things that the wise Jodae commanded; and they took each his men, both those that went in on the sabbath-day, and those that went out on the sabbath-day, and went in to Jodae the priest.
Abaduumizi ab’ebibinja b’ekikumi ne bakola byonna nga Yekoyaada kabona bwe yalagira, buli omu n’afuna abasajja be, abaali ab’okukola ku ssabbiiti, n’abaali bamaze oluwalo lwabwe, ne bajja eri Yekoyaada kabona.
10 And the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the swords and spears of king David that were in the house of the Lord.
Kabona n’awa abaduumizi amafumu n’engabo ebyali ebya kabaka Dawudi, ebyali mu yeekaalu ya Mukama,
11 And the footmen stood each with his weapon in his hand from the right corner of the house to the left corner of the house, [by] the altar and the house round about the king.
buli mukuumi n’ayimirira n’ebyokulwanyisa bye nga beetoolodde kabaka enjuuyi zonna, okuliraana ekyoto ne yeekaalu okuva ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo okutuuka ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono.
12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put upon him the crown and [gave him] the testimony; and he made him king, and anointed him: and they clapped [their] hands, and said, Long live the king.
Awo Yekoyaada n’afulumya mutabani wa kabaka, n’amutikkira engule, n’amuwa n’endagaano gye baali bakoze, ne bamufuula kabaka. N’afukibwako amafuta, abantu ne bakuba mu ngalo nga bwe bayogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Wangaala kabaka!”
13 And Gotholia heard the sound of the people running, and she went in to the people to the house of the Lord.
Asaliya bwe yawulira oluyoogaano lw’abakuumi n’olw’abantu, n’alaga eri abantu ku yeekaalu ya Mukama.
14 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood near a pillar according to the manner; and the singers and the trumpeters were before the king and all the people of the land [even] rejoicing and sounding with trumpets: and Gotholia tore her garments, and cried, A conspiracy, a conspiracy.
Bwe yatunula, laba, nga kabaka ayimiridde awali empagi, ng’empisa bwe yabanga, n’abaami n’abafuuwa amakondeere nga bayimiridde okuliraana kabaka, n’abantu bonna ab’omu nsi nga basanyuka era nga bwe bafuuwa amakondeere. Awo Asaliya n’ayuza ebyambalo bye, n’aleekaanira waggulu nti, “Bujeemu, bujeemu!”
15 And Jodae the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were over the host, and said to them, Bring her forth without the ranges, [and] he that goes in after her shall certainly die by the sword. For the priest said, Let her not however be slain in the house of the Lord.
Amangwago Yekoyaada kabona n’alagira abaduumizi ab’ebibinja b’ekikumi, abaali bakulira eggye nti, “Mumufulumye wakati w’ennyiriri, na buli amugoberera mumutte n’ekitala.” Kabona yali agambye nti, “Temumuttira mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.”
16 And they laid hands upon her, and went in by the way of the horses' entrance into the house of the Lord, and she was slain there.
Ne bakwata Asaliya, ng’anaatera okuyita mu mulyango gw’embalaasi w’eziyingira mu luggya lw’olubiri, ne bamuttira awo.
17 And Jodae made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord's people; also between the king and the people.
Awo Yekoyaada n’akola endagaano ne Mukama, ne kabaka n’abantu, nti banaabeera abantu ba Mukama, era n’akola n’endagaano ne kabaka n’abantu.
18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and tore it down, and completely broke in pieces his altars and his images, and they killed Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed overseers over the house of the Lord.
Abantu bonna ab’omu nsi ne bagenda ku ssabo lya Baali ne balimenyaamenya; ne bamenyaamenya ebyoto n’ebifaananyi, era ne battira Matani kabona wa Baali mu maaso g’ebyoto ebyo. Yekoyaada kabona n’ateekawo abakuumi ku yeekaalu ya Mukama.
19 And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the Chorri, and the Rhasim, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king out of the house of the Lord; and they went in by the way of the gate of the footmen of the king's house, and seated him there on the throne of the kings.
Awo n’alaga n’abaduumizi ab’ebibinja b’ekikumi, n’Abakali, n’abakuumi, n’abantu bonna ab’omu nsi ku yeekaalu, n’aggyayo kabaka mu yeekaalu ya Mukama n’amutwala mu lubiri ng’ayita mu mulyango ogw’abakuumi. Kabaka n’atuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka,
20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was at rest: and they killed Gotholia with the sword in the house of the king.
abantu bonna ab’omu nsi ne bajaguza, n’ekibuga n’ekitereera, kubanga Asaliya yali attiddwa n’ekitala okumpi n’olubiri.
21 Joas [was] seven years old when he began to reign.
Yekoyaasi yali aweza emyaka musanvu bwe yatandika okufuga.
