2 Kings 14
1 In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel began Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah to reign.
Mu mwaka ogwokubiri ogw’obufuzi bwa Yowaasi mutabani wa Yowakazi kabaka wa Isirayiri, Amaziya mutabani wa Yowaasi ssekabaka wa Yuda n’alya obwakabaka.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
Yali aweza emyaka amakumi abiri mu etaano weyatandikira okufuga, era n’afugira emyaka amakumi abiri mu mwenda mu Yerusaalemi. Nnyina erinnya lye ye yali Yekoyadiini ow’e Yerusaalemi.
3 He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done.
N’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, newaakubadde nga tebyenkana bya jjajjaawe Dawudi bye yakola. Mu buli nsonga yonna yagobereranga ekyokulabirako kya Yowaasi kitaawe.
4 However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Kyokka beeyongeranga okuweerayo ssaddaaka n’okwoterezanga obubaane ku bifo ebigulumivu kubanga byali tebiggyiddwawo.
5 It happened, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants who had slain the king his father:
Bwe yalaba ng’obwakabaka bunywezeddwa mu buyinza bwe, n’atta abakungu abaatemula kabaka kitaawe.
6 but the children of the murderers he did not put to death; according to that which is written in the scroll of the law of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin."
Wabula teyatta batabani baabwe kubanga mu byawandiikibwa mu Kitabo eky’Amateeka ga Musa, Mukama yalagira nti, “Abazadde tebattibwenga ku lw’abaana, so n’abaana tebattibwenga ku lw’abazadde baabwe; buli muntu anaafanga olw’ebibi bye ye.”
7 He killed of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day.
Yawangula ab’e Edomu mu Kiwonvu eky’Omunnyo, era n’atta omutwalo gumu ku bo, n’okuwamba n’awamba Seera mu lutalo, n’akituuma Yokuseeri, era kye kikyayitibwa ne ku lunaku lwa leero.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us look one another in the face."
Awo mu biro ebyo Amaziya n’atumira Yekoyaasi mutabani wa Yekoyakaazi, muzzukulu wa Yeeku, kabaka wa Isirayiri, obubaka ng’amusosonkereza nti, “Jjangu tulabagane amaaso n’amaaso.”
9 Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, "The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son as wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle.
Naye Yekoyaasi kabaka wa Isirayiri n’addamu Amaziya kabaka wa Yuda nti, “Omwennyango mu Lebanooni gw’aweereza obubaka eri omuvule mu Lebanooni nga gugamba nti, ‘Waayo muwala wo afumbirwe mutabani wange.’ Naye ensolo enkambwe eya Lebanooni bwe yali ng’eyitawo n’erinnyirira omwennyango.
10 You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?'"
Kaakano wegulumizza kubanga owangudde Edomu. Wenyumirize mu buwanguzi bwo ewuwo. Lwaki oyagala okweleetera emitawaana, n’okugwa kwo era n’okwa Yuda?”
11 But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
Naye Amaziya teyawuliriza, era ekyavaamu Yekoyaasi kabaka wa Isirayiri n’amulumba. Ne balabagana amaaso n’amaaso mu lutalo e Besusemesi ekya Yuda.
12 Judah was defeated by Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.
Yuda n’awangulibwa Isirayiri, buli musajja n’addukira ewuwe.
13 Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, six hundred eighty-nine feet.
Awo Yekoyaasi kabaka wa Isirayiri n’awambira Amaziya kabaka wa Yuda mutabani wa Yekoyaasi muzzukulu wa Akaziya e Besusemesi; Yekoyaasi ne yeeyongerayo e Yerusaalemi, n’amenyaamenya bbugwe wa Yerusaalemi, obuwanvu mita kikumi mu kinaana, okuva ku wankaaki wa Efulayimu okutuuka ku wankaaki ow’oku Nsonda.
14 He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
N’atwala ezaabu n’effeeza yonna, n’ebikozesebwa byonna ebyali mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’eby’obugagga ebyali mu lubiri lwa kabaka, era n’abantu n’abatwala nga basibe, n’addayo e Samaliya.
15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Ebyafaayo ebirala byonna ebyaliwo mu mirembe gya Yekoyaasi, ne bye yakola n’ebyamagero bye, ne bwe yatabaala Amaziya kabaka wa Yuda, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
16 Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.
Yekoyaasi n’afa n’aziikibwa mu Samaliya mu masiro ga bakabaka ba Isirayiri. Mutabani we Yerobowaamu n’amusikira okuba kabaka.
17 Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
Awo Amaziya mutabani wa Yowaasi n’awangaala emyaka kkumi n’ettaano emirala oluvannyuma lw’okufa kwa Yekoyaasi mutabani wa Yekoyakaazi kabaka wa Isirayiri.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ebyafaayo ebirala eby’omulembe gwa Amaziya, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
19 They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there.
Ne bamusalira olukwe olw’okumuttira mu Yerusaalemi, n’addukira e Lakisi, naye ne bamuwerekereza abasajja era ne bamuttira e Lakisi.
20 They brought him on horses; and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.
Ne bakomyawo omulambo gwe ku mbalaasi, era n’aziikibwa ku biggya bya bajjajjaabe mu Yerusaalemi, mu kibuga kya Dawudi.
21 All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
Awo eggwanga lyonna erya Yuda, ne bafuula Azaliya ow’emyaka ekkumi n’omukaaga kabaka, ng’asikira kitaawe Amaziya.
22 He built Eilat, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
Ye yaddaabiriza Erasi era n’azza Yuda obuggya, nga Amaziya amaze okufa.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria for forty-one years.
Mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ettaano ogw’obufuzi bwa Amaziya mutabani wa Yowaasi kabaka wa Yuda, Yerobowaamu II mutabani wa Yowaasi ssekabaka wa Isirayiri n’afuuka kabaka mu Samaliya, era n’afugira emyaka amakumi ana mu gumu.
24 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, n’atakyuka okuva mu bibi ebya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri.
25 He restored the border of Israel from Lebo Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the LORD, the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath Hepher.
Yatuukiriza ekigambo kya Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri kye yayogerera mu muddu we Yona mutabani wa Amitayi nnabbi ow’e Gasukeferi, n’azzaawo ensalo ya Isirayiri okuva ku mulyango gwa Kamasi okutuuka ku Nnyanja ey’Omunnyo.
26 For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter; for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel.
Mukama yalaba okubonaabona kwa buli omu mu Isirayiri, omuddu n’atali muddu, nga tewali ayinza ku babeera.
27 The LORD did not say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
Olw’okubanga Mukama yali tagambye nti alisaanyaawo erinnya lya Isirayiri wansi w’eggulu, n’atuma Yerobowaamu II mutabani wa Yowaasi okubalokola.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Yerobowaamu II, ne byonna bye yakola, ne bwe yalwana entalo n’obuzira, n’engeri gye yakomezaawo Isirayiri Ddamasiko ne Kamasi ebyali ebya Yuda, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
Yerobowaamu ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, bassekabaka ba Isirayiri, Zekkaliya mutabani we n’amusikira okuba kabaka.
