2 Chronicles 15
1 And the Spirit of God has been on Azariah son of Oded,
Awo Omwoyo wa Katonda n’akka ku Azaliya mutabani wa Obedi,
2 and he goes out before Asa and says to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; YHWH [is] with you—in your being with Him, and if you seek Him, He is found by you, and if you forsake Him, He forsakes you;
n’agenda n’asisinkana Asa n’amugamba nti, “Mumpulirize, mmwe Asa, ne Yuda ne Benyamini mwenna, Mukama ali nammwe bwe muba mu ye. Bwe munaamunoonyanga, munaamulabanga, naye bwe munaamulekuliranga naye anaabalekuliranga.
3 and many days [are] to Israel without [the] true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law,
Isirayiri yamala ebbanga ddene nga tegondera Katonda ow’amazima, nga tebalina kabona abayigiriza, wadde okuba n’amateeka.
4 and it turns back in its distress to YHWH, God of Israel, and they seek Him, and He is found by them,
Naye wakati mu nnaku yaabwe ne bakyukira Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, ne bamunoonya, era ne bamulaba.
5 and in those times there is no peace for him who is going out, and for him who is coming in, for many troubles [are] on all the inhabitants of the lands,
Mu biro ebyo tewaali mirembe abantu okutambula nga bwe baayagalanga, kubanga baali mu kweraliikirira kungi nnyo.
6 and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God has troubled them with every adversity;
Amawanga n’amawanga gaalwanagananga, n’ebibuga ne birumbagananga kubanga Katonda yabaleetako ebizibu bingi nnyo.
7 and you, be strong, and do not let your hands be feeble, for there is a reward for your work.”
Naye mmwe mugume omwoyo! Temuganya mikono gyammwe kunafuwa kubanga omulimu gwammwe guliko empeera.”
8 And at Asa’s hearing these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he has strengthened himself, and causes the abominations to pass away out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he has captured from the hill-country of Ephraim, and renews the altar of YHWH that [is] before the porch of YHWH,
Awo Asa bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyo, n’ebyobunnabbi bwa Azaliya mutabani wa Obedi, n’aguma omwoyo, n’aggyawo ebifaananyi ebyole okuva mu nsi yonna eya Yuda ne Benyamini, n’okuva mu bibuga bye yali awambye mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu. N’addaabiriza ekyoto kya Mukama ekyali mu maaso g’ekisasi ekya yeekaalu ya Mukama.
9 and gathers all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon—for they have defected to him from Israel in abundance, in their seeing that his God YHWH [is] with him.
N’akuŋŋaanya aba Yuda n’aba Benyamini bonna, n’abantu b’e Efulayimu, n’e Manase, n’e Simyoni abaabeeranga nabo, kubanga bangi basenga gyali okuva mu Isirayiri bwe baalaba nga Mukama Katonda ali wamu naye.
10 And they are gathered to Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
Ne bakuŋŋaanira e Yerusaalemi mu mwezi ogwokusatu mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ettaano ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa.
11 and sacrifice to YHWH on that day from the spoil they have brought in—seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep,
Ku lunaku olwo ne bawaayo eri Mukama ebimu ku by’omunyago: ente lusanvu, n’endiga n’embuzi zonna kasanvu.
12 and they enter into a covenant to seek YHWH, God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul,
Ne beeyama okunoonyanga Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe, n’omutima gwabwe gwonna, n’emmeeme yaabwe yonna.
13 and everyone who does not seek for YHWH, God of Israel, is put to death, from small to great, from man to woman.
Era abo bonna abatanoonyanga Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri battibwanga, oba bato oba bakulu, oba bakazi oba basajja.
14 And they swear to YHWH with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with horns,
Ne balayirira Mukama mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, wamu n’okufuuwa amakondeere n’eŋŋombe.
15 and all Judah rejoices concerning the oath, for they have sworn with all their heart, and they have sought Him with all their goodwill, and He is found by them, and YHWH gives rest to them all around.
Yuda yonna ne basanyukira ekirayiro ekyo, kubanga baali balayidde n’omutima gwabwe gwonna, era nga bamunoonyezza n’okwagala kwabwe kwonna, ne bamulaba. Era Mukama n’abawa emirembe enjuuyi zonna.
16 And also Maachah, mother of Asa the king—he has removed her from [being] mistress, in that she has made for an Asherah a horrible thing, and Asa cuts down her horrible thing, and beats [it] small, and burns [it] by the Brook of Kidron:
Kabaka Asa n’agoba jjajjaawe Maaka ku bwannamasole kubanga yali akoze ekifaananyi ekyole ekya Asera. Asa n’akitemaatema n’akimenyaamenya, n’akyokera mu kagga Kidulooni.
17 yet the high places have not been removed from Israel; only, the heart of Asa has been perfect all his days.
Newaakubadde nga teyaggyawo bifo ebigulumivu mu Isirayiri, Asa yamalirira mu mutima gwe okunywerera ku Mukama ennaku ze zonna.
18 And he brings in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of God: silver, and gold, and vessels.
Mu yeekaalu ya Mukama n’aleetamu effeeza ne zaabu, n’ebintu ye ne kitaawe bye baawonga.
19 And war has not been until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
Ne wataba ntalo nate okumala emyaka amakumi asatu mu etaano egy’obufuzi bwa Asa.
