2 Chronicles 25
1 When twenty and five years old did Amazyahu become king, and twenty and nine years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yeho'addan of Jerusalem.
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 what is right in the eyes of the Lord, yet not with an entire heart.
N’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, naye si na mutima ogutuukiridde.
3 And it came to pass, when the kingdom was firmly established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
Obwakabaka bwe bwanywezebwa mu buyinza bwe, n’atta abakungu abatta kabaka kitaawe.
4 But their children he put not to death; but [did] as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, that the Lord had commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, nor shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
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 Amazyahu gathered Judah together, and stationed them after the family divisions, after the captains over the thousands, and after the captains over the hundreds, of all Judah and Benjamin; and he numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them [to be] three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go forth to the army, that could handle spear 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 hired also out of Israel one hundred thousand mighty men of valor for one hundred talents of silver.
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 unto him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the Lord is not with Israel, [with] all the children 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 But if thou wilt go, [and be ever so] active [and] strong for the battle: God will cause thee to stumble before the enemy; for there is power with God to help, and to cause to stumble.
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 Then said Amazyahu to the man of God, But what is it to be done for the hundred talents which I have given to the band of Israel? And the man of God said, The Lord hath [enough in his power] to give thee much more than 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 Then did Amazyahu separate them, [to wit, ] the band that was come to him out of Ephraim, that they might go to their place: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned to their home in burning 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 And Amazyahu strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and smote of the children of Se'ir ten thousand [men].
Amaziya ne yeefungiza, n’akulembera abantu be, n’agenda mu kiwonvu eky’omunnyo n’atta abasajja omutwalo gumu ab’e Seyiri.
12 And ten thousand did the children of Judah take captive alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were crushed.
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 band whom Amazyahu had sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, spread themselves about in the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-choron, and smote of them three thousand [persons], and plundered much spoil.
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 And it came to pass, after Amazyahu was come home from smiting the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Se'ir, and set them up unto himself as gods, and before them he used to prostrate himself and unto them he used to burn incense.
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 anger of the Lord was kindled against Amazyahu, and he sent unto him a prophet, who said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, that have not delivered their own people out of thy 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 it came to pass, as he was speaking unto him, that he said unto him, Have we ever appointed thee as a counsellor to the king? forbear this: why shouldst thou be smitten? Then did the prophet forbear; and he said, I know that God hath resolved to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
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 held Amazyahu the king of Judah a council, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoachaz, the son of Jehu, the king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look 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 And Joash the king of Israel sent to Amazyahu the king of Judah, saying, The thorn-bush that was in the Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in the Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for wife. And there passed along the wild beasts that were in the Lebanon, and trod down the thorn-bush.
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 hast thought, Lo, thou hast smitten Edom; and thy heart hath lifted thee up to acquire much glory: now stay in thy house; why wilt thou meddle with misfortune, that thou mayest fall, thou, and Judah 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 Amazyahu would not hear; for it was [ordained] by God, in order to deliver them into the hand [of Joash]; because they had sought after 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 Thereupon did Joash the king of Israel go up: and they looked one another in the face, he and Amazyahu the king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
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 Judah was defeated before Israel, and they fled every man to his tents.
Isirayiri n’awangula Yuda, buli muntu n’addukira ewuwe.
23 And Joash the king of Israel caught Amazyahu the king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoachaz, at Beth-shemesh; and he brought him to Jerusalem, and made a breach in the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner-gate, four hundred cubits.
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 [taking] all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with 'Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king's house, and the children of the chiefs as hostages, he 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 Amazyahu the son of Joash the king of Judah lived after the death of Joash the son of Jehoachaz the king of Israel fifteen years.
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 And the rest of the acts of Amazyahu the first and the last, behold, they are fully written in the book of the kings of Judah 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 Now from the time that Amazyahu departed from following the Lord, they raised a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: wherefore he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew 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 carried him on horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
Omulambo gwe ne baguleetera ku mbalaasi, n’aziikibwa mu masiro ga bajjajjaabe mu kibuga kya Yuda.
