2 Chronicles 36
1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s stead in Jerusalem.
Awo abantu b’ensi eyo ne balonda Yekoyakaazi mutabani wa Yosiya, n’asikira kitaawe mu Yerusaalemi.
2 Joahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three mouths in Jerusalem.
Yekoyakaazi yali wa myaka amakumi abiri mu esatu bwe yalya obwakabaka, n’afugira mu Yerusaalemi emyezi esatu.
3 And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and amerced the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
Kabaka w’e Misiri yamugoba ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka mu Yerusaalemi, n’asalira Yuda obusuulu obwa ttani ssatu n’obutundu buna obwa ffeeza ne kilo amakumi asatu mu nnya eza zaabu.
4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
Kabaka w’e Misiri n’afuula Eriyakimu muganda wa Yekoyakaazi okuba kabaka wa Yuda ne Yerusaalemi, n’akyusa n’erinnya lye, n’amutuuma Yekoyakimu, naye n’atwala Yekoyakaazi muganda we nga musibe e Misiri.
5 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
Yekoyakimu yali wa myaka amakumi abiri mu etaano bwe yalya obwakabaka, n’afugira emyaka kkumi na gumu mu Yerusaalemi. N’akola ebitali bya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda we.
6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
Awo lumu Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni n’amulumba, n’amusiba mu masamba, n’amutwala e Babulooni.
7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
Nebukadduneeza n’atwala n’ebintu ebyali mu yeekaalu ya Mukama e Babulooni, n’abiteeka mu ssabo lye.
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo ku mulembe gwa Yekoyakimu, eby’ekivve bye yakola, ne byonna bye yavunaanibwa, byawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri ne Yuda. Yekoyakini mutabani we n’amusikira.
9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
Yekoyakini yali wa myaka munaana bwe yalya obwakabaka, n’afugira emyezi esatu n’ennaku kkumi mu Yerusaalemi. N’akola ebitali bya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama.
10 And at the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
Awo omwaka bwe gwali nga gunaatera okuggwaako, kabaka Nebukadduneeza n’amutumya, n’aleetebwa e Babulooni n’ebintu byonna eby’omuwendo okuva mu yeekaalu ya Mukama. Nebukadduneeza n’afuula Zeddekiya kitaawe omuto okuba kabaka wa Yuda ne Yerusaalemi.
11 Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem:
Zeddekiya yali wa myaka amakumi abiri mu gumu bwe yalya obwakabaka, n’afugira emyaka kkumi na gumu mu Yerusaalemi.
12 and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God; he humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking] from the mouth of the LORD.
N’akola ebitali bya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda we, n’ateetoowaza mu maaso ga nnabbi Yeremiya, eyayogeranga ekigambo kya Mukama.
13 And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD, the God of Israel.
N’ajeemera ne kabaka Nebukadduneeza eyamulayiza mu maaso ga Katonda. N’akakanyaza ensingo ye n’omutima gwe, n’atakyuka kudda eri Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri.
14 Moreover all the chiefs of the priests, and the people, trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the heathen; and they polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
Ate ne bakabona abakulu bonna n’abantu, ne bataba beesigwa ne bagoberera eby’obukaafiiri eby’amawanga amalala, ne bagwagwawaza yeekaalu ya Mukama, gye yali atukuzizza mu Yerusaalemi.
15 And the LORD, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
Awo Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe n’ayogera nabo ng’ayita mu babaka be, ng’asaasira abantu be n’ekifo mu abeera.
16 but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
Naye ne baduuliranga ababaka ba Katonda, ne banyoomanga n’ebigambo bye, ne basekereranga bannabbi be, okutuusa obusungu bwa Katonda bwe bwabuubuukira ku bantu be awatali kubasaasira.
17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man or ancient: he gave them all into his hand.
Kyeyava aweereza kabaka w’Abakaludaaya okubalumba, n’atta n’ekitala abavubuka baabwe mu nnyumba awasinzizibwa, n’atalekaawo muvubuka n’omu newaakubadde abawala abato, newaakubadde abasajja abakulu wadde abakadde ennyo. Bonna Katonda yabawaayo mu mukono gwa Nebukadduneeza.
18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.
Ne yeetikka ebintu ebinene n’ebitono byonna okuva mu yeekaalu ya Katonda, n’eby’obugagga eby’omu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’amawanika ga kabaka n’abakungu be.
19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.
Ne bookya yeekaalu ya Katonda ne bamenyaamenya ne bbugwe wa Yerusaalemi, ne bookya n’embiri zonna, ne bazikiriza n’ebintu eby’omuwendo byonna.
20 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
N’abo abaawona ekitala, n’abatwala mu buwaŋŋanguse e Babulooni, ne babeera baddu be n’aba batabani be okutuusa ku kufuga kw’obwakabaka bw’Obuperusi.
21 to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths [for] as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfill threescore and ten years.
Ensi n’ekuuma ssabbiiti zaayo, ekiseera kyonna kye yamala mu kubonaabona kwayo okutuusa emyaka ensanvu bwe gyagwako, ng’ekyo kituukiriza ekigambo Mukama kye yayogera mu Yeremiya.
22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it] also in writing, saying,
Mu mwaka ogw’olubereberye ogwa Kuulo kabaka wa Buperusi, Mukama n’akoma ku mutima gwa Kuulo kabaka wa Buperusi ng’ekigambo Mukama kye yayogerera mu Yeremiya bwe kyali, okulangirira mu bwakabaka bwe bwonna, n’okuwandiika nti,
23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD, the God of heaven, given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all his people, the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.
“Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Kuulo kabaka wa Buperusi nti, “‘Mukama Katonda w’eggulu ampadde obwakabaka bwonna obw’omu nsi, era annonze okumuzimbira yeekaalu e Yerusaalemi mu Yuda. Bwe wabaawo omuntu yenna mu mmwe ow’oku bantu be, Mukama Katonda abeere naye, ayambuke.’”
