1 Kings 14
1 At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam was sick,
Awo mu biro ebyo Abiya mutabani wa Yerobowaamu n’alwala,
2 and Jeroboam says to his wife, “Now rise and change yourself, and they do not know that you [are the] wife of Jeroboam, and you have gone to Shiloh; behold, Ahijah the prophet [is] there; he spoke to me of [being] king over this people;
Yerobowaamu n’agamba mukyala we nti, “Golokoka ogende e Siiro, nga weefuddefudde baleme kumanya nga bw’oli mukazi wa Yerobowaamu. Akiya nnabbi, eyanjogerako nti ndiba kabaka w’abantu bano ali eyo.
3 and you have taken in your hand ten loaves, and crumbs, and a bottle of honey, and have gone to him; he declares to you what becomes of the youth.”
Twala emigaati kkumi, ne bukeeke, n’ensumbi ey’omubisi gw’enjuki, ogende gy’ali era ye alikubuulira omwana bw’aliba.”
4 And the wife of Jeroboam does so, and rises, and goes to Shiloh, and enters the house of Ahijah, and Ahijah is not able to see, for his eyes have stood because of his age.
Awo muka Yerobowaamu n’akola bw’atyo, n’agenda ewa Akiya e Siiro. Akiya yali muzibe, kubanga amaaso ge gaali gayimbadde olw’obukadde.
5 And YHWH said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to seek a word from you concerning her son, for he is sick; thus and thus you speak to her, and it comes to pass at her coming in, that she is making herself strange.”
Naye Mukama yali alabudde Akiya nga muka Yerobowaamu bw’anajja okumubuuza ebifa ku mutabani waabwe, eyali alwadde era nga bw’ajja okumuddamu, nga bw’anaatuuka ajja kwefuula okuba omuntu omulala.
6 And it comes to pass, at Ahijah’s hearing the sound of her feet [as] she came to the opening, that he says, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam, why is this [that] you are making yourself strange? And I am sent to you [with] a sharp thing.
Awo Akiya bwe yawulira enswagiro ku mulyango, n’amugamba nti, “Yingira muka Yerobowaamu. Lwaki weefuula okuba omuntu omulala? Ntumiddwa gy’oli n’amawulire amabi.
7 Go, say to Jeroboam, Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Because that I have made you high out of the midst of the people, and appoint you leader over my people Israel,
Genda ogambe Yerobowaamu nti kino Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri ky’agamba nti, ‘Nakugulumiza nga nkuggya mu bantu, ne nkufuula omukulembeze wa bantu bange Isirayiri.
8 and tear the kingdom from the house of David, and give it to you—and you have not been as My servant David who kept My commands, and who walked after Me with all his heart, to only do that which [is] right in My eyes,
Naggya obwakabaka mu nnyumba ya Dawudi, ne mbukuwa, naye tobadde ng’omuddu wange Dawudi, eyagondera ebiragiro byange era n’abigoberera n’omutima gwe gwonna, ng’akola ekyo ekyali ekirungi mu maaso gange.
9 and you do evil above all who have been before you, and go, and make other gods and molten images for yourself to provoke Me to anger, and you have cast Me behind your back—
Oyonoonye nnyo okusinga bonna abaakusooka. Weekoledde bakatonda abalala, n’okola n’ebifaananyi ebisaanuuse n’onneerabira; onsunguwazizza nnyo.
10 therefore, behold, I am bringing calamity to the house of Jeroboam, and have cut off to Jeroboam those sitting on the wall—shut up and left—in Israel, and have put away the posterity of the house of Jeroboam, as one puts away the dung until its consumption;
“‘Kyendiva nsanyaawo ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu, era ndiggyawo ku Yerobowaamu buli mwana owoobulenzi yenna mu Isirayiri, omuddu n’atali muddu. Ndiyokya ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu, ng’omuntu bw’ayokya obusa, okutuusa lwe liggweerawo ddala.
11 the dogs eat him who dies of Jeroboam in a city, and birds of the heavens eat him who dies in a field, for YHWH has spoken.
Abo bonna aba Yerobowaamu abalifiira mu kibuga, embwa zirirya emirambo gyabwe, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga zirirya egy’abo abalifiira ku ttale, kubanga Mukama y’akyogedde!’
12 And you, rise, go to your house; in the going in of your feet to the city, the boy has died;
“Wabula ggwe, ddayo eka. Bw’onooba wakalinnya ekigere mu kibuga kyo, omulenzi anaafa.
13 and all Israel has mourned for him, and buried him, for this one—by himself—of Jeroboam comes to a grave, because there has been found in him a good thing toward YHWH, God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
Isirayiri yonna banaamukaabira era ne bamuziika. Ye yekka ow’ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu aliziikibwa, kubanga ye yekka mu nnyumba ya Yerobowaamu Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, gw’alabyemu akalungi.
14 And YHWH has raised up for Himself a king over Israel who cuts off the house of Jeroboam this day—and what? Even now!
“Mukama alyeyimusiza kabaka wa Isirayiri alisaanyaawo ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu mu kiseera ekitali ky’ewala nnyo.
15 And YHWH has struck Israel as the reed is moved by the waters, and has plucked Israel from off this good ground that He gave to their fathers, and scattered them beyond the River, because that they made their Asherim, provoking YHWH to anger;
Mukama aliva ku Isirayiri, abeere ng’ekitoogo bwe kinyeenyezebwa mu mazzi, era alisimbula Isirayiri okubaggya mu nsi eno ennungi eya bajjajjaabwe, n’abasaasaanyiza emitala w’Omugga, kubanga baasunguwaza Mukama bwe baakola bakatonda Baaseri.
16 and He gives up Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin.”
Era aliva ku Isirayiri olw’ebibi bya Yerobowaamu n’ebyo by’ayonoonesezza Isirayiri.”
17 And the wife of Jeroboam rises, and goes, and comes to Tirzah; she has come to the threshold of the house, and the youth dies;
Awo muka Yerobowaamu n’agolokoka okugenda e Tiruza. Olwayingira mu nnyumba yaabwe, omulenzi n’afa.
18 and they bury him, and all Israel mourns for him, according to the word of YHWH that he spoke by the hand of His servant Ahijah the prophet.
Ne bamuziika, era Isirayiri yonna ne bamukungubagira ng’ekigambo kya Mukama kye yayogerera mu nnabbi Akiya bwe kyali.
19 And the rest of the matters of Jeroboam, how he fought, and how he reigned, behold, they are written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
N’ebirala byonna ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Yerobowaamu, entalo ze, n’okufuga kwe, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’eby’omu mirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
20 And the days that Jeroboam reigned [are] twenty-two years, and he lies with his fathers, and his son Nadab reigns in his stead.
Yafugira emyaka amakumi abiri mu ebiri, oluvannyuma ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe; Nadabu mutabani we n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.
21 And Rehoboam son of Solomon has reigned in Judah; Rehoboam [is] a son of forty-one years in his reigning, and he has reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that YHWH chose to set His Name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess.
Lekobowaamu mutabani wa Sulemaani n’alya obwakabaka bwa Yuda, ng’alina emyaka amakumi ana mu gumu. Yafugira emyaka kkumi na musanvu mu Yerusaalemi, ekibuga Mukama kye yeeroboza mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri olw’erinnya lye. Nnyina yayitibwanga Naama, Omwamoni.
22 And Judah does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and they make Him zealous above all that their fathers did by their sins that they have sinned.
Yuda ne bakola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, okusinga ne bajjajjaabwe bye baakola era ebibi byabwe ne bikwasa Mukama obuggya.
23 And they build—they also—for themselves high places, and standing-pillars, and Asherim, on every high height, and under every green tree;
Beezimbira ebifo ebigulumivu n’empagi za Baaseri ku buli lusozi oluwanvu ne wansi wa buli muti omugazi.
24 and a whoremonger has also been in the land; they have done according to all the abominations of the nations that YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel.
Era waaliwo n’abaalyanga ebisiyaga mu nsi, ne bakolanga eby’emizizo byonna abamawanga Katonda be yagoba mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri bye baakolanga.
25 And it comes to pass, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt has gone up against Jerusalem,
Mu mwaka ogwokutaano ogw’obufuzi bwa kabaka Lekobowaamu, Sisaki kabaka w’e Misiri n’alumba Yerusaalemi.
26 and he takes the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the house of the king, indeed, he has taken the whole; and he takes all the shields of gold that Solomon made.
N’atwala eby’obugagga eby’omu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebyobugagga eby’omu lubiri lwa kabaka byonna, ng’okwo kw’otadde engabo eza zaabu Sulemaani ze yali akoze.
27 And King Rehoboam makes shields of bronze in their stead, and has made [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners, those keeping the opening of the house of the king,
Awo kabaka Lekobowaamu n’akola engabo ez’ebikomo okuzzaawo ziri, era n’azikwasa abaduumizi b’abambowa abaakuumanga wankaaki w’olubiri lwa kabaka.
28 and it comes to pass, from the going in of the king to the house of YHWH, the runners carry them, and have brought them back to the chamber of the runners.
Buli Kabaka lwe yalaganga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, abambowa ne bambalira engabo ezo, era Oluvannyuma ne bazizaayo mu kisenge ky’abambowa we zaaterekebwanga.
29 And the rest of the matters of Rehoboam and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Ebyafaayo ebirala byonna eby’omulembe gwa Lekobowaamu, ne bye yakola byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
30 And there has been war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam [for] all the days;
Waabangawo entalo ez’olubeerera wakati wa Lekobowaamu ne Yerobowaamu.
31 and Rehoboam lies with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the City of David, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess, and his son Abijam reigns in his stead.
Lekobowaamu ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, era n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi. Nnyina yayitibwanga Naama Omwamoni. Abiyaamu mutabani we n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.
