2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz [is] a son of twenty years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and he has not done that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, as his father David,
Akazi yali wa myaka amakumi abiri we yaliira obwakabaka, n’afugira emyaka kkumi na mukaaga mu Yerusaalemi. Naye obutafaanana nga jjajjaawe Dawudi, yakola ebitali bya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama.
2 and walks in the ways of the kings of Israel, and has also made molten images for Ba‘alim,
N’atambulira mu makubo ga bassekabaka ba Isirayiri, n’okukola n’akola ebifaananyi ebisaanuuse ebyakozesebwanga mu kusinza Baali.
3 and has made incense himself in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and burns his sons with fire according to the abominations of the nations that YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,
N’ayoterezanga obubaane mu kiwonvu kya mutabani wa Kinomu, n’awaayo batabani be okuba ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, ng’agoberera emizizo gy’abannaggwanga, Mukama be yagoba mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri.
4 and sacrifices and makes incense in high places, and on the heights, and under every green tree.
N’awangayo ssaddaaka wamu n’okwoterezanga obubaane mu bifo ebigulumivu, ne ku ntikko z’ensozi, ne wansi wa buli muti omubisi.
5 And his God YHWH gives him into the hand of the king of Aram, and they strike him, and take captive a great captivity from him, and bring [them] to Damascus, and he has also been given into the hand of the king of Israel, and he strikes him [with] a great striking.
Mukama Katonda we kyeyava amuwaayo mu mukono gwa kabaka w’e Busuuli, eyamuwangula n’atwala abantu ba Yuda bangi nga basibe, n’abaleeta e Ddamasiko. Ate era yaweebwayo ne mu mukono gwa kabaka wa Isirayiri, eyaleeta ku bantu ba Yuda ebisago ebinene.
6 And Pekah son of Remaliah slays one hundred and twenty thousand in Judah in one day (the whole [are] sons of valor), because of their forsaking YHWH, God of their fathers.
Peka mutabani wa Lemaliya yatta abaserikale ba Yuda emitwalo kkumi n’ebiri mu lunaku lumu, kubanga baali bavudde ku Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe.
7 And Zichri, a mighty one of Ephraim, slays Maaseiah son of the king, and Azrikam leader of the house, and Elkanah second to the king.
Ne Zikuli, omusajja omulwanyi omuzira owa Efulayimu n’atta Maaseya mutabani wa kabaka, ne Azulikamu omukulu w’olubiri ne Erukaana omukungu, addirira kabaka.
8 And the sons of Israel take captive of their brothers: two hundred thousand wives, sons, and daughters; and they have also seized much spoil from them, and they bring in the spoil to Samaria.
Abayisirayiri ne bawamba abakyala, n’abaana aboobulenzi, n’aboobuwala, emitwalo amakumi abiri ku baganda baabwe, ne babatwala nga basibe e Samaliya, ate ne babatwalako n’omunyago mungi.
9 And there has been a prophet of YHWH there (Oded [is] his name), and he goes out before the host that has come to Samaria, and says to them, “Behold, in the fury of YHWH, God of your fathers, against Judah, He has given them into your hand, and you slay among them in rage—it has come to the heavens;
Awo Odedi nnabbi wa Mukama eyali eyo n’agenda okusisinkana eggye eryali lijja e Samaliya, n’abagamba nti, “Laba, kubanga Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjammwe yasunguwalira Yuda, kyeyava abawaayo mu mukono gwammwe, kyokka mubasse n’ekiruyi n’okutuuka ne kituuka mu ggulu.
10 and now you are saying to subdue sons of Judah and Jerusalem for menservants and for maidservants for yourselves; but are there not causes of guilt with you before your God YHWH?
Kaakano, abasajja n’abakazi aba Yuda ne Yerusaalemi mumaliridde, okubafuula abaddu bammwe. Naye bwe mmwekebera, temulina kye mwali musobezza Mukama Katonda wammwe?
11 And now, hear me, and send back the captives whom you have taken captive of your brothers, for the heat of the anger of YHWH [is] on you.”
Kale nno, mumpulirize, muleke baganda bammwe be muwambye baddeyo ewaabwe, kubanga Mukama abasunguwalidde mmwe.”
12 And certain of the heads of the sons of Ephraim (Azariah son of Johanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai), rise up against those coming in from the host,
Awo abamu ku bakadde ba Efulayimu, Azaliya mutabani wa Yokanaani, ne Berakiya mutabani wa Mesiremosi, ne Yekizukiya mutabani wa Sallumu, ne Amasa mutabani wa Kadalayi, ne bayimirira okuziyiza abo abaali bava mu lutalo.
13 and say to them, “You do not bring in the captives here, for guilt against YHWH [is already] on us, you are saying to add to our sin and to our guilt. For abundant [is] the guilt we have, and the fierceness of anger on Israel.”
Ne babagamba nti, “Temujja kuleeta basibe abo wano, kubanga mujja kutuleetako omusango eri Mukama nga mwongereza ku kibi ne ku musango bye tulina. Omusango gwaffe munene, n’obusungu bwe buli ku Isirayiri.”
14 And the armed men leave the captives and the prey before the heads and all the assembly;
Awo abaserikale ne basumulula abasibe, n’omunyago ne baguwaayo mu maaso g’abakungu n’ekibiina kyonna.
15 and the men who have been expressed by name rise and take hold on the captives, and they have clothed all their naked ones from the spoil, indeed, they clothe them, and shoe them, and cause them to eat and drink, and anoint them, and lead them on donkeys, even every feeble one, and bring them to Jericho, the city of palms, near their brothers, and return to Samaria.
Ne balonda abasajja abaatwala abasibe ne baggya engoye mu munyago ne bambaza abo bonna abaali obwereere, ne babawa engoye endala, n’engatto, ne babawa emmere n’ekyokunywa, ne babanyiga n’ebiwundu. N’abaali abanafu ennyo bonna ne babasitulira ku ndogoyi, ne babazzaayo eri baganda baabwe e Yeriko, ekibuga eky’enkindu, bo ne bakomawo e Samaliya.
16 At that time King Ahaz has sent to the king of Asshur to give help to him;
Awo mu biro ebyo kabaka Akazi n’asaba kabaka w’e Bwasuli amuyambe,
17 and again the Edomites have come, and strike in Judah, and take captive a captivity.
kubanga Abayedomu baali bazeemu okulumba Yuda, ne batwala abantu mu busibe.
18 And the Philistines have rushed against the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and capture Beth-Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho and its villages, and Timnah and its villages, and Gimzo and its villages, and dwell there,
Mu kiseera kyekimu Abafirisuuti baali balumbye ebibuga eby’omu nsenyi n’eby’omu bukiikaddyo obwa Yuda, nga bawambye Besusemesi, ne Ayalooni, ne Gederosi, ne Soko, ne Timuna, ne Gimuzo n’ebyalo ebyali byetoolodde ebibuga ebyo, era ng’omwo mwe babeera.
19 for YHWH has humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he made free with Judah, even to commit a trespass against YHWH.
Mukama yakkakkanya nnyo Yuda olw’ebibi n’obutali bwesigwa bwa Akazi kabaka wa Isirayiri eri Mukama, Akazi bye yakola mu Yuda.
20 And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur comes to him, and does distress him, and has not strengthened him,
Tirugazupiruneseri kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’ajja gy’ali, n’amucocca mu kifo eky’okumuyamba.
21 though Ahaz has taken a portion [out] of the house of YHWH, and [out] of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gives to the king of Asshur, yet it is no help to him.
Akazi n’aggya ebimu ku bintu ebyali mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ne ku ebyo ebyali mu lubiri lwa kabaka, ne ku bya balangira n’abiwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli; naye ekyo ne kitamuyamba.
22 And in the time of his distress—he adds to trespass against YHWH (this King Ahaz),
Mu kiseera ekyo kabaka Akazi we yalabira ennyo ennaku, yeeyongera obutaba mwesigwa eri Mukama.
23 and he sacrifices to the gods of Damascus [which were] those striking him, and says, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram are helping them, I sacrifice to them, and they help me,” and they have been to him to cause him to stumble, and to all Israel.
N’awangayo ssaddaaka eri bakatonda b’e Ddamasiko, abaali bamuwangudde, kubanga yalowooza nti, “Engeri bakatonda ba bakabaka b’e Busuuli bwe babayambye, nnaawaayo ssaddaaka gye bali, nange bannyambe.” Naye okwo kwe kwali okuzikirira kwe n’okwa Isirayiri yenna.
24 And Ahaz gathers the vessels of the house of God, and cuts in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shuts the doors of the house of YHWH, and makes altars for himself in every corner in Jerusalem.
Akazi n’akuŋŋaanya ebintu eby’omu yeekaalu ya Katonda, n’abiggyamu, n’aggalawo enzigi za yeekaalu ya Mukama, ne yeezimbira ebyoto mu buli nsonda mu Yerusaalemi.
25 And in each and every city of Judah he has made high places to make incense to other gods, and provokes YHWH, God of his fathers.
Mu buli kibuga kya Yuda n’azimbamu ebifo ebigulumivu okuwerangayo ssaddaaka eri bakatonda abalala, n’asunguwaza Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabe.
26 And the rest of his matters, and all his ways, the first and the last, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Ebyafaayo ebirala eby’omu mulembe gwe n’empisa ze zonna, okuva ku ntandikwa okutuusa ku nkomerero, byawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya bassekabaka ba Yuda ne Isirayiri.
27 And Ahaz lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the city, in Jerusalem, but have not brought him to the graves of the kings of Israel, and his son Hezekiah reigns in his stead.
Akazi n’afa n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Yerusaalemi, naye si mu masiro ga bassekabaka ba Isirayiri. Keezeekiya mutabani we n’amusikira.
