2 Chronicles 33
1 Twelve years old, was Manasseh when he began to reign, —and, fifty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem.
Manase yalya obwakabaka nga wa myaka kkumi n’ebiri, n’afugira emyaka amakumi ataano mu etaano mu Yerusaalemi.
2 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, -according to the abominable ways of the nations, whom Yahweh dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.
N’akola ebitaali bya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’agoberera ebikolwa eby’ekivve eby’amawanga Mukama ge yagoba mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri.
3 And he again built the high places, which Hezekiah his father had thrown down, —and set up altars to the Baalim, and made Sacred Stems, and bowed in prostration unto all the army of the heavens, and served them;
N’addaabiriza ebifo ebigulumivu kitaawe Keezeekiya bye yali amenyeemenye, n’azimbira ne Baali ebyoto, n’akola ne Baasera, n’asinza era n’aweereza n’eggye lyonna ery’oku ggulu.
4 and built altars in the house of Yahweh, —as to which Yahweh had said, In Jerusalem, shall be my Name, unto times age-abiding.
N’azimba ebyoto mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, Mukama gye yayogerako nti, “Mu Yerusaalemi erinnya lyange mwe linaabeeranga emirembe gyonna.”
5 Yea he built altars unto all the army of the heavens, —in the two courts of the house of Yahweh.
N’azimba ebyoto eby’okusinzizangako eggye lyonna ery’oku ggulu, mu mpya zombi eza yeekaalu ya Mukama.
6 And, he, caused his sons to pass through the fire, in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and practised hidden arts and used divination, and practised sorcery, and appointed a necromancer, and a wizard, —he exceeded in doing the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger;
N’awaayo abaana be ng’ekiweebwayo, n’abookera mu kiwonvu ekya mutabani wa Kinomu, n’akola eby’obufumu, n’alagulira mu bire, n’akola eby’obulogo, n’agendanga n’eri abaliko emizimu ne ddayimooni. N’akola ebitaali bya butuukirivu bingi mu maaso ga Mukama, n’asunguwaza nnyo Mukama.
7 and he set a resemblance-image which he had made, —in the house of God, as to which God had said unto David, and unto Solomon his son, In this house and in Jerusalem which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name, unto times age-abiding.
N’addira ekifaananyi ekyole kye yakola, n’akiteeka mu yeekaalu ya Katonda, Katonda gye yayogerako eri Dawudi ne Sulemaani mutabani we nti, “Mu yeekaalu eno ne mu Yerusaalemi muno, bye nalonda mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri, mwe munaabeeranga Erinnya lyange emirembe gyonna.
8 So will I not again remove the foot of Israel away from the soil which I appointed for their fathers. Only they must observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law and the statutes and the regulations, by the hand of Moses.
Sijjululenga nate kigere kya Isirayiri okuva mu nsi gye nawa bajjajjammwe, bwe baneekuumanga okukola bye mbalagidde, nga bagoberera amateeka gonna, n’ebiragiro, n’obulombolombo bye nnawa Musa.”
9 And so Manasseh led astray Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, —to commit wickedness beyond the nations which Yahweh had destroyed from before the sons of Israel.
Naye Manase n’asendasenda Yuda n’abantu b’e Yerusaalemi okukola ebitaali bya butuukirivu okusinga amawanga Mukama ge yazikiririza mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri.
10 And Yahweh spake unto Manasseh and unto his people, but they did not give ear.
Mukama n’ayogera ne Manase n’abantu be, kyokka ne batassaayo mwoyo.
11 So Yahweh brought in upon them, the captains of the army that belonged to the king of Assyria, and they captured Manasseh with hooks, —and bound him captive with a pair of bronze fetters, and took him away to Babylon.
Mukama kyeyava abasindikira abaduumizi b’eggye lya kabaka w’e Bwasuli, ne basiba Manase mu njegere ne mu masamba, ne bateeka eddobo mu nnyindo ye, ne bamutwala e Babulooni nga musibe.
12 But, in his distress, he appeased the face of Yahweh his God, —and humbled himself greatly, before the God of his fathers;
Ng’ali eyo mu nnaku ye, ne yeegayirira Mukama Katonda we, ne yeetoowaza nnyo mu maaso ga Katonda wa bajjajjaabe.
13 and, when he prayed unto him, then was he entreated of him, and hearkened unto his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem, unto his own kingdom, and so Manasseh came to know, that, Yahweh, is God.
N’amusaba, Mukama n’awulira okwegayirira kwe, n’amukomyawo e Yerusaalemi n’eri obwakabaka bwe. Awo Manase n’ategeera nga Mukama ye Katonda.
14 And, after this, he built an outer wall to the city of David on the west of the Gihon in the ravine, even to the entering in through the fish-gate, and went round to Ophel, and carried it up very high, —and put captains of valour in all the fortified cities, throughout Judah.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo n’addaabiriza bbugwe ow’ebweru ow’ekibuga kya Dawudi, ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba olwa Gikoni, mu kiwonvu, okutuuka awayingirirwa mu Mulyango ogw’Ebyennyanja, n’okwetooloola olusozi lwa Oferi, n’okumuzimba n’amuzimba ng’asingako bbugwe eyaliwo obuwanvu. N’ateeka n’abaduumizi b’eggye mu bibuga byonna ebiriko bbugwe mu Yuda.
15 And he removed the gods of the foreigner and the image, out of the house of Yahweh, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the house of Yahweh, and in Jerusalem, —and he cast them forth outside the city.
N’aggyamu bakatonda abamawanga n’ekifaananyi ekyole mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebyoto byonna bye yazimba ku kasozi ka yeekaalu ne mu Yerusaalemi, n’abisuula ebweru w’ekibuga.
16 And he built the altar of Yahweh, and sacrificed thereon peace-offerings, and thanksgiving sacrifices, -and gave word to Judah to serve Yahweh, God of Israel.
N’addaabiriza ekyoto kya Mukama, n’aweerayo ssaddaaka ez’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe n’ez’okwebaza, n’alagira Yuda okuweerezanga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri.
17 Howbeit, still were, the people, sacrificing in the high places, —only unto Yahweh their God.
Wabula abantu bo, ne beeyongera okuweerangayo ssaddaaka ku bifo ebigulumivu, nga baziwaayo eri Mukama Katonda waabwe.
18 But, the rest of the story of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the story of the seers who spake unto him in the name of Yahweh God of Israel, there they are, in the story of the kings of Israel:
Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Manase, ng’omwo mwe muli okusaba kwe eri Mukama n’ebigambo abalabi bye baamutegeezanga mu linnya lya Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, byawandiikibwa mu bitabo eby’omu mirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri.
19 both his prayer and how [God] was entreated of him—and all his sin and his treacherous act, and the sites whereon he built high places, and set up the Sacred Stems and the images, before he humbled himself, there they are, written in the story of the seers.
Okusaba kwe, n’okusaasira kwa Katonda gy’ali, n’ebibi bye, n’obutali bwesigwa bwe, n’ebifo ebigulumivu bye yazimba, ne Baasera, n’ebifaananyi ebyole bye yassaawo nga taneetoowaza, byonna byawandiikibwa mu bitabo eby’omu mirembe gy’abalabi.
20 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the garden off his own house, —and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
Manase ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, n’aziikibwa mu lubiri lwe, Amoni mutabani we n’amusikira.
21 Twenty-two years old, was Amon when he began to reign, —and, two years, reigned he in Jerusalem.
Amoni yali wa myaka amakumi abiri mu ebiri we yaliira obwakabaka.
22 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done, —and, unto all the images which Manasseh his father had made, Amon offered sacrifice, and did serve them.
N’akola ebitaali bya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama, nga Manase kitaawe bwe yakola.
23 But he did not humble himself before Yahweh as Manasseh his father humbled himself, —for, he, Amon, made guilt abound.
Naye obutafaanana nga kitaawe Manase, Amoni n’ayongera ekibi ku kibi, n’ateetoowaza mu maaso ga Mukama.
24 And his servants conspired against him, and put him to death, in his own house.
Abakungu ba Amoni ne bamusalira olukwe ne bamuttira mu lubiri lwe.
25 But the people of the land smote all the conspirators against King Amon, —and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
Naye Abantu ab’omu nsi ne batta abo bonna abasala olukwe okutta kabaka Amoni; ne bafuula Yosiya mutabani we okuba kabaka mu kifo kye.
