2 Chronicles 17
1 And his son Jehoshaphat reigns in his stead, and he strengthens himself against Israel,
Yekosafaati mutabani wa Asa n’asikira Asa bw’atyo n’afuuka kabaka, n’okwenyweza ne yeenyweza eri Isirayiri.
2 and puts a force in all the fortified cities of Judah, and puts garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
N’ateeka abaserikale mu bibuga ebiriko bbugwe ebya Yuda, n’ateeka n’eggye mu Yuda, ne mu bibuga ebya Efulayimu, kitaawe Asa bye yali awambye.
3 And YHWH is with Jehoshaphat, for he has walked in the first ways of his father David, and has not sought for the Ba‘alim,
Mukama n’abeera wamu ne Yekosafaati kubanga mu buto bwe yatambuliranga mu makubo ga jjajjaawe Dawudi ge yatambulirangamu. Teyeebuuza ku Babaali,
4 for he has sought for the God of his father, and he has walked in His commands, and not according to the work of Israel.
naye yanoonya Katonda wa kitaawe, era n’agoberera amateeka ge okusinga engeri za Isirayiri.
5 And YHWH establishes the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah gives a present to Jehoshaphat, and he has riches and honor in abundance,
Mukama n’anyweza obwakabaka mu mukono gwe, era Yuda yenna ne baleetera Yekosafaati ebirabo, n’aba n’obugagga bungi n’ekitiibwa kinene.
6 and his heart is high in the ways of YHWH, and again he has turned aside the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
Omutima gwe ne gunywerera mu kkubo lya Mukama, n’okuggyawo n’aggyawo ebifo ebigulumivu n’ebifaananyi bya Baasera mu Yuda.
7 And in the third year of his reign he has sent for his heads, for Ben-Hail, and for Obadiah, and for Zechariah, and for Nethaneel, and for Michaiah, to teach in cities of Judah;
Mu mwaka ogwokusatu ogw’obufuzi bwe, n’atuma abakungu be bano: Benikayiri, ne Obadiya, ne Zekkaliya, ne Nesaneeri, ne Mikaaya okugenda nga bayigiriza mu bibuga bya Yuda.
8 and with them the Levites: Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijath, and Tob-Adonijah—the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
Ne wabaawo n’Abaleevi abagenda nabo: Semaaya, ne Nesaniya, ne Zebadiya, ne Asakeri, ne Semiramoosi, ne Yekonasaani, ne Adoniya, ne Tobbiya, ne Tobadoniya, wamu ne Erisaama ne Yekolaamu.
9 And they teach in Judah, and the Scroll of the Law of YHWH [is] with them, and they go around into all cities of Judah, and teach among the people.
Ne bayigiriza mu Yuda yonna, nga bakozesa Ekitabo ekya Mateeka ga Mukama; ne babuna mu bibuga byonna ebya Yuda ne bayigiriza abantu.
10 And there is a fear of YHWH on all kingdoms of the lands that [are] around Judah, and they have not fought with Jehoshaphat;
Awo entiisa ya Mukama n’egwa ku bwakabaka obw’amawanga agaali geetoolodde Yuda, ne batakola ntalo na Yekosafaati.
11 and [some] from the Philistines are bringing a present to Jehoshaphat, and silver [as] tribute; also, the Arabians are bringing to him a flock of seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats.
Abamu ku Bafirisuuti ne baleetera Yekosafaati ebirabo, ne ffeeza ng’omusolo, ate Abawalabu ne bamuleetera ebisibo eby’endiga ennume kasanvu mu lusanvu, n’embuzi kasanvu mu lusanvu.
12 And Jehoshaphat is going on and becoming very great, and he builds palaces and cities of store in Judah,
Yekosafaati ne yeeyongeranga amaanyi, n’azimba ebigo n’ebibuga eby’amaterekero mu Yuda,
13 and he has much work in cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, [are] in Jerusalem.
n’abeera n’ebyamaguzi bingi ddala mu bibuga bya Yuda. Yalina n’abaserikale abatendeke mu Yerusaalemi nga bazira.
14 And these [are] their numbers, for the house of their fathers—of Judah, heads of thousands: Adnah the head, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;
Okubalibwa ng’enju za bakitaabwe bwe zaali kwali bwe kuti: Okuva mu Yuda, abaduumizi ab’ebibinja eby’olukumi baali: Aduna omuduumizi ow’abasajja abalwanyi emitwalo amakumi asatu,
15 and at his hand [is] Jehohanan the head, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
n’eyamuddiriranga yali Yekokanani omuduumizi ow’abasajja emitwalo amakumi abiri mu munaana;
16 and at his hand [is] Amasiah son of Zichri, who is willingly offering himself to YHWH, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
n’eyamuddiriranga yali Amasiya mutabani wa Zikuli, eyeewaayo obwebange okuweerezanga Mukama, omuduumizi ow’abasajja emitwalo amakumi abiri.
17 And of Benjamin, mighty men of valor: Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
Okuva mu Benyamini: Eriyada, omuserikale omuzira, eyaduumiranga abasajja ab’obusaale n’engabo emitwalo amakumi abiri,
18 and at his hand [is] Jehozabad, and with him one hundred and eighty thousand armed ones of the host.
n’eyamuddiriranga ye yali Yekozabadi eyaduumiranga abasajja emitwalo kkumi na munaana abaali beeteeseteese okulwana.
19 These [are] those serving the king, apart from those whom the king put in the fortress cities in all of Judah.
Abo be basajja abaaweerezanga kabaka, obutassaako abo abaali mu bibuga ebyaliko bbugwe n’ebigo okubuna Yuda yonna.
