2 Chronicles 21
1 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son became king in his stead.
Awo Yekosafaati ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi; Yekolaamu mutabani we n’amusikira.
2 And he had brothers the sons of Jehoshaphat: 'Azaryah, and Jechiel, and Zecharyahu, and 'Azaryahu, and Michael, and Shephatyahu, all these being sons of Jehoshaphat the king of Israel.
Yekolaamu yalina baganda be, batabani ba Yekosafaati, nga be ba Azaliya, ne Yekyeri, ne Zekkaliya, ne Azaliya, ne Mikayiri ne Sefatiya. Abo bonna bali baana ba Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda.
3 And their father gave them many gifts [consisting] of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he was the first-born.
Kitaabwe yabawa eby’obugagga bingi, ebya ffeeza ne zaabu, n’ebintu eby’omuwendo ebirala, wamu n’ebibuga ebiriko bbugwe mu Yuda, naye obwakabaka n’abuwa Yekolaamu kubanga ye yali omuggulanda.
4 Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he slew all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of Israel.
Awo Yekolaamu bwe yamala okwenywereza ddala ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka, n’atta baganda be bonna n’ekitala, era n’abakungu abamu aba Isirayiri.
5 Thirty and two years was Jehoram old when he became king, and eight years did he reign in Jerusalem.
Yekolaamu yalina emyaka amakumi asatu mu ebiri we yafuukira kabaka, era n’afugira emyaka munaana mu Yerusaalemi.
6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as had done the house of Achab; for the daughter of Achab had he for wife: and he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.
N’atambulira mu makubo ga bakabaka ba Isirayiri, ng’ennyumba ya Akabu bwe yakolanga, era n’okuwasa n’awasa muwala wa Akabu. N’akola eby’ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama.
7 Yet would the Lord not destroy the house of David, on account of the covenant which he had made with David, and as he had said to give to him a government and to his sons at all times.
Newaakubadde ng’ebyo byonna byali bwe bityo, Mukama teyayagala kusaanyaawo nnyumba ya Dawudi, kubanga yali akoze endagaano ne Dawudi, ate ng’asuubizza okukuuma ettabaaza ye n’eya bazzukulu be ng’eyaka emirembe gyonna.
8 In his days Edom revolted from under the power of Judah, and they appointed a king over themselves.
Mu biro bya Yekolaamu Edomu n’ajeemera okufuga kwa Yuda ne beeteekerawo kabaka owaabwe.
9 Then did Jehoram go over with his princes, and all the chariots were with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites who compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots.
Awo Yekolaamu n’agendayo n’abakungu be n’amagaali ge gonna. Abayedomu ne bamutaayiza ye n’abaduumizi ab’amagaali ge mu kiro, naye n’abagolokokerako n’abakuba.
10 Yet Edom revolted from under the power of Judah even until this day: then did Libnah revolt at the same time from under his power; because he had forsaken the Lord the God of his fathers.
Okuva ku olwo Edomu ne bajeemera Yuda n’okutuusa leero. Mu kiseera ekyo Libuna naye ne n’amujeemera, kubanga Yekolaamu yali avudde ku Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabe.
11 He also made high-places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go astray, and misled Judah.
Yali azimbye n’ebifo ebigulumivu ku nsozi za Yuda, era ng’aleetedde n’abatuuze ba Yerusaalemi obutaba beesigwa, nga ne Yuda bawabye.
12 And there came unto him a writing from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus hath said the Lord the God of David thy father, Inasmuch as thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, and in the ways of Assa the king of Judah,
Yekolaamu n’afuna ebbaluwa okuva eri Eriya nnabbi ng’egamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wa jjajjaawo Dawudi nti, ‘Olw’obutatambulira mu makubo ga kitaawo Yekosafaati, wadde mu makubo ga Asa kabaka wa Yuda,
13 But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go astray, as the house of Achab hath caused [others] to go astray, and hast also slain thy brothers of thy father's house, who were better than thyself:
naye n’otambulira mu kkubo lya bakabaka ba Isirayiri, n’oleetera Yuda n’abantu b’e Yerusaalemi obutaba beesigwa, ng’ennyumba ya Akabu bwe yakola, era n’otta ne baganda bo ab’ennyumba ya kitaawo, abaali bakusinga empisa,
14 Behold, the Lord will inflict a great plague on thy people, and on thy children, and on thy wives, and on all thy possessions;
Mukama kyaliva aleeta kawumpuli ow’amaanyi, ku bantu bo, n’abaana bo, n’abakyala bo, ne ku bintu byo byonna,
15 And thou shalt be [afflicted] with great diseases by a disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels pass out [from thee] by reason of the disease days upon days.
ate naawe olirwala obulwadde obw’amaanyi mu lubuto, erireetera ebyenda byo okuvaayo, buli lunaku.’”
16 And the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that are alongside of the Cushim:
Awo Mukama n’asitusa obusungu bw’Abafirisuuti n’Abawalabu abaabeeranga okumpi n’Abaesiyopiya eri Yekolaamu,
17 And they went up against Judah, and made an incursion into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and also his sons, and his wives; and there was not left unto him any son, save Jehoachaz, the youngest of his sons.
ne balumba Yuda, ne bakiwangula, ne batwala ebintu byonna ebyali mu lubiri lwa kabaka, ne batabani be, ne bakazi be, ne wataba mutabani we n’omu eyalekebwa okuggyako Yekoyakaazi, omuggalanda.
18 And after all this did the Lord afflict him in his bowels with a disease which was incurable.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo byonna, Mukama n’aleetako Yekolaamu obulwadde obutawonyezeka obw’omu lubuto.
19 And it came to pass, from days to days, and when the [fixed] time was expired, after two years, that his bowels passed out [from him] by reason of his disease: so he died of evil diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning for his fathers.
Awo ebiro bwe byayitawo, nga wayiseewo emyaka ebiri, ebyenda bye ne bitanula okumuvaamu, olw’obulwadde, n’afa mu bulumi bungi. Abantu be ne batamukumira lumbe, nga bwe baali bakoledde bajjajjaabe.
20 Thirty and two years old was he when he became king, and eight years did he reign in Jerusalem, and departed without joy: and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
Yekolaamu yali wa myaka amakumi asatu mu ebiri bwe yatandika okuba kabaka, era n’afugira mu Yerusaalemi emyaka munaana. Okufa kwe tekwaleetera muntu n’omu kwejjusa, n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi naye si ku biggya bya bassekabaka.
