2 Kings 21
1 Twelve years old was Menasseh when he became king, and fifty and five years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Chephzi-bah.
Manase yatandika okufuga ng’alina emyaka kkumi n’ebiri, era n’afugira emyaka amakumi ataano mu etaano mu Yerusaalemi. Nnyina ye yali Kefuziba.
2 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, after the abominable acts of the nations whom the Lord had driven out before the children of Israel.
N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’atambulira mu makubo amabi ag’amawanga Mukama ge yali agobye mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri.
3 And he built up again the high-places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Ba'al, and made a grove, as Achab the king of Israel had done; and he bowed down to all the host of heaven, and served them.
Yaddamu n’azimba ebifo ebigulumivu eby’okusamira, Keezeekiya kitaawe bye yali amenye: era yazimba n’ebyoto ebya Baali, n’asimba n’empagi kya Asera, nga Akabu kabaka wa Isirayiri bwe yakola, n’okusinza n’asinza eggye ery’omu ggulu.
4 And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
Yazimba n’ebyoto mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, Mukama gye yali ayogeddeko nti, “Mu Yerusaalemi mwe mulibeera Erinnya lyange.”
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
Era yazimbira eggye lyonna ery’omu ggulu ebyoto mu mpya zombi eza yeekaalu ya Mukama.
6 And he caused his son to pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much that is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
N’awaayo mutabani we okuba ekyokebwa, ng’akola eby’obufumu n’eby’obulogo, ate ng’alagulwa n’abaliko emizimu, n’abalogo. N’akola ebibi bingi mu maaso ga Mukama, era n’amusunguwaza.
7 And he set a hewn image of the Asherah that he had made in the house, of which the Lord had said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
Yaddira ekifaananyi ekyole ekya Asera n’akiteeka mu yeekaalu, Mukama gye yali ayogeddeko ng’agamba Dawudi ne mutabani we Sulemaani nti, “Mu Yeekaalu eno ne mu Yerusaalemi, bye nneeroboza mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri, mwe munaabeeranga erinnya lyange emirembe gyonna.
8 And I will not cause any more the foot of Israel to move out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to act in accordance with all that I have commanded them, and in accordance with all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.
Siriddayo nate kujja bigere eby’Abayisirayiri mu nsi gye nawa bajjajjaabwe, bwe baneekuumanga okukola bye nabalagira byonna wamu n’amateeka omuddu wange Musa ge yabawa.”
9 But they hearkened not: and Menasseh seduced them to do what is evil more than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.
Naye abantu tebaawuliriza, era Manase n’abasendasenda okukola ebibi okusinga n’ebyo amawanga Mukama ge yazikiririza mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri bye gaakola.
10 And the Lord spoke by means of his servants the prophets, saying,
Awo Mukama n’ayogerera mu baddu be bannabbi
11 Forasmuch as Menasseh the king of Judah hath done these abominations, having done wickedly more than all that the Emorites had done, who were before him, and hath induced Judah also to sin with his idols:
nti, “Olw’emizizo gino Manase kabaka wa Yuda gy’akoze, ng’ayonoona okusinga Abamoli abaamusooka bye baakola, n’ayonoonyesa Yuda n’ebifaananyi bye,
12 Therefore thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Ndireeta ku Yerusaalemi ne ku Yuda obubi obusingirayo ddala, era na buli muntu alikiwulira, alisasamala.
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the measure-line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Achab: and I will wipe off Jerusalem as one wipeth off a dish, wiping it, and turning it on its face.
Ndigolola omuguwa ogwakozesebwa ku Samaliya n’ejjinja erigera eryakozesebwa ku nnyumba ya Akabu eri Yerusaalemi, era ne mmalirawo ddala Yerusaalemi ng’omuntu bw’akomba esowaani okumalirako ddala emmere, n’okugifuula n’agifuula.
14 And I will forsake the remnant of my inheritance, and give them up into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
Era ndyabulira ekitundu ekyafikkawo eky’obusika bwange, ne nkigabula mu mukono gw’abalabe baabwe, ne bababbako buli kantu,
15 Forasmuch as they have done what is evil in my eyes, and have been provoking me to anger, from the day that their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even until this day.
kubanga baakola ebibi mu maaso gange, ne bansunguwaza nnyo okuviira ddala ku lunaku bajjajjaabwe kwe baaviirako mu Misiri n’okutuusa ku lunaku lwa leero.’”
16 And also innocent blood did Menasseh shed in very great abundance, till he had filled [therewith] Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he induced Judah to sin, to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.
Ate, era Manase yayiwa omusaayi mungi gw’abo abataaliko musango, n’agujjuza Yerusaalemi, obutasaako ebibi ebirala bye yayonoonyesa Yuda, ne bakola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama.
17 Now the rest of the acts of Menasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he committed, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Manase, ne byonna bye yakola, okwo nga kwe kuli n’ebibi bye yakola, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
18 And Menasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of 'Uzza: and Amon his son became king in his stead.
Awo Manase n’afa, n’aziikibwa mu nnimiro ey’olubiri lwe, ye nnimiro ya Uzza, ne mutabani we Amoni n’amusikira okuba kabaka.
19 Twenty and two years old was Amon when he became king, and two years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Charuz of Yotbah.
Amoni lwe yatandika okufuga, yali awezezza emyaka amakumi abiri mu ebiri, era n’afugira mu Yerusaalemi okumala emyaka ebiri. Nnyina ye yali Mesullemesi muwala wa Kaluzi ow’e Yotuba.
20 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Menasseh had done.
N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga kitaawe bwe yakola.
21 And he walked in all the way that his father had walked in, and served the idols that his father had served, and bowed himself down to them;
N’atambulira mu ngeri za kitaawe, n’asinzanga ebifaananyi kitaawe bye yasinzanga.
22 And he forsook the Lord the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
Yava ku Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaabe, n’atatambulira mu kkubo lya Mukama.
23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.
Awo abakungu ba Amoni ne bamusalira olukwe, ne bamuttira mu lubiri lwe.
24 And the people of the land slew all those that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
Awo olwatuuka, abantu mu nsi ne beekobaana, ne batta abo bonna abaali mu lukwe olw’okumutta, era ne bafuula Yosiya mutabani we kabaka.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Amoni, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
26 And they buried him in his sepulchre in the garden of 'Uzza: and Josiah his son became king in his stead.
Kabaka n’aziikibwa mu ntaana ye mu nnimiro ya Uzza, mutabani we Yosiya n’amusikira okuba kabaka.
