2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam goes to Shechem, for all of Israel has come [to] Shechem to cause him to reign.
Lekobowaamu n’agenda e Sekemu, Abayisirayiri bonna gye baali bagenze okumufuula kabaka.
2 And it comes to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat—who [is] in Egypt because he has fled from the face of Solomon the king—hearing, that Jeroboam turns back out of Egypt;
Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati bwe yakiwulira, kubanga yali mu Misiri gye yali addukidde mu buwaŋŋanguse, nga yeewala kabaka Sulemaani, n’akomawo.
3 and they send and call for him, and Jeroboam comes in, and all of Israel, and they speak to Rehoboam, saying,
Awo ne bamutumira, Yerobowaamu ne Isirayiri yenna ne bagenda eri Lekobowaamu ne bamugamba nti,
4 “Your father made our yoke sharp, and now, make light [some] of the sharp service of your father, and [some] of his heavy yoke that he put on us, and we serve you.”
“Kitaawo yatuteekako ekikoligo ekinene, naye kaakano tukendeereze ku lyanyi n’ekikoligo kye yatuteekako, naffe tunaakuweereza.”
5 And he says to them, “Yet three days—then return to me”; and the people go.
N’abaddamu nti, “Mulikomawo gye ndi mu nnaku ssatu.” Abantu ne bagenda.
6 And King Rehoboam consults with the aged men who have been standing before his father Solomon in his being alive, saying, “How are you counseling to answer this people?”
Awo kabaka Lekobowaamu ne yeebuuza ku bakadde abaaweerezanga kitaawe Sulemaani ng’akyali mulamu. N’ababuuza nti, “Mumpa kya kuddamu ki eri abantu bano?”
7 And they speak to him, saying, “If you become good to this people, and have been pleased with them, and spoken to them good words, then they have been servants to you [for] all the days.”
Ne bamugamba nti, “Bw’onooba ow’ekisa eri abantu bano, n’obasanyusa, n’obaddamu bulungi, banaabeeranga baddu bo ennaku zonna.”
8 And he forsakes the counsel of the aged men that they counseled him, and consults with the boys who have grown up with him, those standing before him,
Naye Lekobowaamu n’aggaya amagezi abakadde ge baali bamuwadde, n’agenda ne yeebuuza ku bavubuka be yali akuze nabo, ate nga be bamuweereza mu kiseera ekyo.
9 and he says to them, “What are you counseling, and we answer this people that have spoken to me, saying, Make light [some] of the yoke that your father put on us?”
N’ababuuza nti, “Mumpa magezi ki okuddamu abantu bano abaŋŋambye nti, ‘Tukendeereze ku kikoligo kitaawo kye yatuteekako?’”
10 And the boys who have grown up with him speak with him, saying, “Thus you say to the people who have spoken to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, and you, make light [some] of our yoke; thus you say to them, My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father;
Abavubuka be yali akuze nabo ne bamuddamu nti, “Gamba abantu abakugambye nti, ‘Ekikoligo kitaawo kye yatuteekako kyali kizito, naye kaakano kitukendeerezeko,’ nti, ‘Nasswi wange asinga ekiwato kya kitange obunene. Kitange yababinika ekikoligo ekizito, naye nze nzija kwongera ku kikoligo kyammwe obuzito.
11 and now, my father laid a heavy yoke on you, and I add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, and I—with scorpions.”
Kitange yabakangavvulanga na nkoba naye nze nzija kubakangavvulanga na njaba ez’obusagwa.’”
12 And Jeroboam comes in, and all the people, to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king spoke, saying, “Return to me on the third day.”
Bwe waayitawo ennaku essatu Yerobowaamu n’abantu bonna ne bagenda eri Lekobowaamu, nga kabaka bwe yali ayogedde nti, “Mukomeewo oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ssatu.”
13 And the king answers them sharply, and King Rehoboam forsakes the counsel of the aged men,
Kabaka n’addamu n’ebboggo. N’agaana okuwuliriza amagezi g’abakadde,
14 and speaks to them according to the counsel of the boys, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, and I add to it; my father disciplined you with whips, and I—with scorpions.”
n’agoberera amagezi ag’abavubuka, n’ayogera nti, “Kitange yababinika ekikoligo ekizito, naye nze nzija kukyongerako obuzito. Kitange yabakangavvulanga na nkoba, naye nze nzija kubakangavvulanga na njaba ez’obusagwa.”
15 And the king has not listened to the people, for the revolution has been from God, for the sake of YHWH’s establishing His word that He spoke by the hand of Abijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
Kabaka n’atawuliriza bantu kubanga bw’atyo Katonda bwe yasiima, okutuukiriza ekigambo Mukama kye yayogera ku Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati ng’ayita mu Akiya Omusiiro.
16 And all Israel have seen that the king has not listened to them, and the people send back [word to] the king, saying, “What portion do we have in David? Indeed, there is no inheritance in a son of Jesse; [go], each to your tents, O Israel! Now see your house, O David!” And all [in] Israel go to their tents.
Awo Isirayiri yenna bwe baalaba nga kabaka agaanye okubawuliriza, ne bamuddamu nti, “Mugabo ki gwe tulina mu Dawudi, era busika ki bwe tulina mu mutabani wa Yese? Buli omu ku mmwe, addeyo mu weema ye, ayi Isirayiri! Mmwe ennyumba ye Dawudi mwerabirire.” Awo Abayisirayiri bonna ne baddayo ewaabwe.
17 As for the sons of Israel who are dwelling in the cities of Judah—Rehoboam reigns over them.
Naye abo abaabeeranga mu bibuga bya Yuda, Lekobowaamu n’asigala ng’abafuga.
18 And King Rehoboam sends Hadoram, who [is] over the tribute, and the sons of Israel cast stones at him, and he dies; and King Rehoboam has strengthened himself to go up into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem;
Kabaka Lekobowaamu n’atuma Kadolaamu eyavunaanyizibwanga emirimu egy’ekipakasi, naye Abayisirayiri ne bamukuba amayinja ne bamutta. Kabaka Lekobowaamu ye n’ayanguwa okulinnya eggaali lye n’addukira e Yerusaalemi.
19 and Israel transgresses against the house of David to this day.
Awo Isirayiri ne bajeemera ennyumba ya Dawudi n’okutuusa leero.
