1 Kings 14
1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
Awo mu biro ebyo Abiya mutabani wa Yerobowaamu n’alwala,
2 Jeroboam said to his wife, "Please get up and disguise yourself, that you won't be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Go to Shiloh. Look, there is Ahijah the prophet, who spoke concerning me that I should be king over this people.
Yerobowaamu n’agamba mukyala we nti, “Golokoka ogende e Siiro, nga weefuddefudde baleme kumanya nga bw’oli mukazi wa Yerobowaamu. Akiya nnabbi, eyanjogerako nti ndiba kabaka w’abantu bano ali eyo.
3 Take with you ten loaves, and cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the child."
Twala emigaati kkumi, ne bukeeke, n’ensumbi ey’omubisi gw’enjuki, ogende gy’ali era ye alikubuulira omwana bw’aliba.”
4 Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
Awo muka Yerobowaamu n’akola bw’atyo, n’agenda ewa Akiya e Siiro. Akiya yali muzibe, kubanga amaaso ge gaali gayimbadde olw’obukadde.
5 YHWH said to Ahijah, "Look, the wife of Jeroboam comes to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall tell her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman."
Naye Mukama yali alabudde Akiya nga muka Yerobowaamu bw’anajja okumubuuza ebifa ku mutabani waabwe, eyali alwadde era nga bw’ajja okumuddamu, nga bw’anaatuuka ajja kwefuula okuba omuntu omulala.
6 It was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, "Come in, you wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy news.
Awo Akiya bwe yawulira enswagiro ku mulyango, n’amugamba nti, “Yingira muka Yerobowaamu. Lwaki weefuula okuba omuntu omulala? Ntumiddwa gy’oli n’amawulire amabi.
7 Go, tell Jeroboam, 'Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel: "Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you prince over my people Israel,
Genda ogambe Yerobowaamu nti kino Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri ky’agamba nti, ‘Nakugulumiza nga nkuggya mu bantu, ne nkufuula omukulembeze wa bantu bange Isirayiri.
8 and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it you; and yet you have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in my eyes,
Naggya obwakabaka mu nnyumba ya Dawudi, ne mbukuwa, naye tobadde ng’omuddu wange Dawudi, eyagondera ebiragiro byange era n’abigoberera n’omutima gwe gwonna, ng’akola ekyo ekyali ekirungi mu maaso gange.
9 but have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made you other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back:
Oyonoonye nnyo okusinga bonna abaakusooka. Weekoledde bakatonda abalala, n’okola n’ebifaananyi ebisaanuuse n’onneerabira; onsunguwazizza nnyo.
10 therefore, look, I will bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall, he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung, until it is all gone.
“‘Kyendiva nsanyaawo ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu, era ndiggyawo ku Yerobowaamu buli mwana owoobulenzi yenna mu Isirayiri, omuddu n’atali muddu. Ndiyokya ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu, ng’omuntu bw’ayokya obusa, okutuusa lwe liggweerawo ddala.
11 He who dies of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and he who dies in the field shall the birds of the sky eat: for YHWH has spoken it."'
Abo bonna aba Yerobowaamu abalifiira mu kibuga, embwa zirirya emirambo gyabwe, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga zirirya egy’abo abalifiira ku ttale, kubanga Mukama y’akyogedde!’
12 Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
“Wabula ggwe, ddayo eka. Bw’onooba wakalinnya ekigere mu kibuga kyo, omulenzi anaafa.
13 All Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward YHWH, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
Isirayiri yonna banaamukaabira era ne bamuziika. Ye yekka ow’ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu aliziikibwa, kubanga ye yekka mu nnyumba ya Yerobowaamu Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, gw’alabyemu akalungi.
14 Moreover YHWH will raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is day. What? Even now.
“Mukama alyeyimusiza kabaka wa Isirayiri alisaanyaawo ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu mu kiseera ekitali ky’ewala nnyo.
15 For YHWH will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking YHWH to anger.
Mukama aliva ku Isirayiri, abeere ng’ekitoogo bwe kinyeenyezebwa mu mazzi, era alisimbula Isirayiri okubaggya mu nsi eno ennungi eya bajjajjaabwe, n’abasaasaanyiza emitala w’Omugga, kubanga baasunguwaza Mukama bwe baakola bakatonda Baaseri.
16 He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin."
Era aliva ku Isirayiri olw’ebibi bya Yerobowaamu n’ebyo by’ayonoonesezza Isirayiri.”
17 Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.
Awo muka Yerobowaamu n’agolokoka okugenda e Tiruza. Olwayingira mu nnyumba yaabwe, omulenzi n’afa.
18 All Israel buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of YHWH, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.
Ne bamuziika, era Isirayiri yonna ne bamukungubagira ng’ekigambo kya Mukama kye yayogerera mu nnabbi Akiya bwe kyali.
19 The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, look, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
N’ebirala byonna ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Yerobowaamu, entalo ze, n’okufuga kwe, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’eby’omu mirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
20 The days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.
Yafugira emyaka amakumi abiri mu ebiri, oluvannyuma ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe; Nadabu mutabani we n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.
21 Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which YHWH had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
Lekobowaamu mutabani wa Sulemaani n’alya obwakabaka bwa Yuda, ng’alina emyaka amakumi ana mu gumu. Yafugira emyaka kkumi na musanvu mu Yerusaalemi, ekibuga Mukama kye yeeroboza mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri olw’erinnya lye. Nnyina yayitibwanga Naama, Omwamoni.
22 Judah did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.
Yuda ne bakola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, okusinga ne bajjajjaabwe bye baakola era ebibi byabwe ne bikwasa Mukama obuggya.
23 For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;
Beezimbira ebifo ebigulumivu n’empagi za Baaseri ku buli lusozi oluwanvu ne wansi wa buli muti omugazi.
24 and there were also male shrine prostitutes in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which YHWH drove out before the children of Israel.
Era waaliwo n’abaalyanga ebisiyaga mu nsi, ne bakolanga eby’emizizo byonna abamawanga Katonda be yagoba mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri bye baakolanga.
25 It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;
Mu mwaka ogwokutaano ogw’obufuzi bwa kabaka Lekobowaamu, Sisaki kabaka w’e Misiri n’alumba Yerusaalemi.
26 and he took away the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
N’atwala eby’obugagga eby’omu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebyobugagga eby’omu lubiri lwa kabaka byonna, ng’okwo kw’otadde engabo eza zaabu Sulemaani ze yali akoze.
27 King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.
Awo kabaka Lekobowaamu n’akola engabo ez’ebikomo okuzzaawo ziri, era n’azikwasa abaduumizi b’abambowa abaakuumanga wankaaki w’olubiri lwa kabaka.
28 It was so, that as often as the king went into the house of YHWH, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.
Buli Kabaka lwe yalaganga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, abambowa ne bambalira engabo ezo, era Oluvannyuma ne bazizaayo mu kisenge ky’abambowa we zaaterekebwanga.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ebyafaayo ebirala byonna eby’omulembe gwa Lekobowaamu, ne bye yakola byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
30 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
Waabangawo entalo ez’olubeerera wakati wa Lekobowaamu ne Yerobowaamu.
31 Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son reigned in his place.
Lekobowaamu ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, era n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi. Nnyina yayitibwanga Naama Omwamoni. Abiyaamu mutabani we n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.
