1 Kings 21
1 And it was after the things these a vineyard it belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite which [was] in Jezreel beside [the] palace of Ahab [the] king of Samaria.
Awo ebyo bwe byaggwa, ne wabaawo ensonga ekwata ku nnimiro ya Nabosi Omuyezuleeri ey’emizabbibu, eyali eriraanye olubiri lwa Akabu kabaka wa Samaliya.
2 And he spoke Ahab to Naboth - saying - give! to me vineyard your so may it belong to me to a garden of vegetables for it [is] near beside house my and I will give to you in place of it a vineyard good more than it if [it is] good in view your I will give to you money [the] price of this [one].
Awo Akabu n’agamba Nabosi nti, “Mpa ennimiro yo ey’emizabbibu nnimiremu enva, nga bw’eriraanye olubiri lwange. Mu kifo kyayo nzija kukuwaamu ennimiro ey’emizabbibu endala, oba bw’onoosiima, nnaakusasulamu omuwendo ogugigyamu.”
3 And he said Naboth to Ahab far be it to me from Yahweh than to give I [the] inheritance of ancestors my to you.
Nabosi n’amuddamu nti, “Kikafuuwe, nze okukuwa obusika bwa bajjajjange.”
4 And he went Ahab to house his sullen and furious on the word which he had spoken to him Naboth the Jezreelite and he said not I will give to you [the] inheritance of ancestors my and he lay down on bed his and he turned around face his and not he ate food.
Awo Akabu n’addayo eka ng’annyogoze nnyo era nga munyiivu kubanga Nabosi Omuyezuleeri yamugamba nti, “Sijja kukuwa busika bwa bajjajjange.” N’agalamira ku kitanda kye nga yeesooza, n’agaana n’okulya.
5 And she came to him Jezebel wife his and she spoke to him why? this [is] spirit your sullen and not you [are] eating food.
Naye Yezeberi mukazi we n’ayingira, n’amubuuza nti, “Lwaki onnyogoze nnyo bw’otyo n’okulya n’otalya?”
6 And he spoke to her for I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and I said to him give! to me vineyard your for money or if [are] desiring you I will give to you a vineyard in place of it and he said not I will give to you vineyard my.
N’amuddamu nti, “Kubanga ŋŋambye Nabosi Omuyezuleeri antunze ennimiro ye ey’emizabbibu, oba bw’anaasiima muwaanyiseemu ennimiro endala. Naye agambye nti, ‘Sijja kukuwa nnimiro yange ey’emizabbibu.’”
7 And she said to him Jezebel wife his you now are you doing? kingship over Israel arise eat food so it may be good heart your I I will give to you [the] vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
Yezeberi mukazi we n’amugamba nti, “Bw’otyo bwe weeyisa nga kabaka wa Isirayiri? Golokoka olye! Ddamu amaanyi. Nzija kukufunira ennimiro ya Nabosi Omuyezuleeri ey’emizabbibu.”
8 And she wrote letters in [the] name of Ahab and she sealed [them] with seal his and she sent (letters *Q(K)*) to the elders and to the nobles who [were] in city his who dwelt with Naboth.
Awo Yezeberi n’awandiika amabaluwa mu linnya lya Akabu, n’agassaako akabonero ke, era n’agaweereza eri abakadde n’abakungu abaabeeranga mu kibuga kya Nabosi.
9 And she wrote in the letters saying proclaim a fast and make sit Naboth at [the] head of the people.
Mu bbaluwa ezo n’awandiika nti, “Mulangirire okusiiba, mutuuze Nabosi mu kifo abantu bonna we bamulengerera,
10 And make sit two men sons of worthlessness before him and let them testify against him saying you have blessed God and [the] king and take out him and stone him so may he die.
era mutuuze abasajja babiri okumwolekera bamuwaayirize nti akolimidde Katonda ne kabaka. Oluvannyuma mumutwale ebweru mumukube amayinja, mumutte.”
11 And they did [the] people of city his the elders and the nobles who [were] the [ones who] dwelt in city his just as she had sent to them Jezebel just as [it was] written in the letters which she had sent to them.
Awo abakadde n’abakungu abaabeeranga mu kibuga ekyo ne bakola nga Yezeberi bwe yalagira mu mabaluwa ge yabawandiikira.
12 They proclaimed a fast and they made sit Naboth at [the] head of the people.
Ne balangirira okusiiba era ne batuuza Nabosi mu kifo w’alabikira obulungi mu bantu.
13 And they came [the] two the men sons of worthlessness and they sat before him and they testified against him [the] men of worthlessness Naboth before the people saying he has blessed Naboth God and [the] king and they took out him from [the] outside of the city and they stoned him with stones and he died.
Abasajja babiri ne bajja ne batuula okumwolekera ne bamuwaayiriza mu maaso g’abantu nga bagamba nti, “Nabosi yakolimidde Katonda ne kabaka.” Awo abantu ne bamutwala ebweru w’ekibuga ne bamukuba amayinja ne bamutta.
14 And they sent to Jezebel saying he has been stoned Naboth and he has died.
Ne batumira Yezeberi nti, “Nabosi akubiddwa amayinja era afudde.”
15 And it was when heard Jezebel that he had been stoned Naboth and he had died and she said Jezebel to Ahab arise take possession of [the] vineyard of - Naboth the Jezreelite which he refused to give to you for money for not Naboth [is] alive for he has died.
Amangwago Yezeberi bwe yawulira nti Nabosi yakubibwa amayinja era n’afa, n’agamba Akabu nti, “Golokoka otwale ennimiro ey’emizabbibu eya Nabosi Omuyezuleeri gye yagaana okukuguza, kubanga takyali mulamu, mufu.”
16 And it was when heard Ahab that he had died Naboth and he arose Ahab to go down to [the] vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite to take possession of it.
Akabu bwe yawulira nti Nabosi afudde n’agolokoka n’aserengeta okutwala ennimiro ya Nabosi Omuyezuleeri ey’emizabbibu.
17 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Elijah the Tishbite saying.
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Eriya Omutisubi nti,
18 Arise go down to meet Ahab [the] king of Israel who [is] in Samaria there! [he is] in [the] vineyard of Naboth where he has gone down there to take possession of it.
“Serengeta eri Akabu kabaka wa Isirayiri afugira mu Samaliya, kubanga laba ali mu nnimiro ey’emizabbibu eya Nabosi era agenze okugitwala.
19 And you will speak to him saying thus he says Yahweh ¿ have you murdered and also have you taken possession? and you will speak to him saying thus he says Yahweh in [the] place where they licked up the dogs [the] blood of Naboth they will lick up the dogs blood your also you.
Mugambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Tosse omusajja n’okutwala n’otwala obugagga bwe?’ Olyoke omugambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti: Mu kifo embwa wezikombedde omusaayi gwa Nabosi, embwa mwezirikombera ogugwo.’”
20 And he said Ahab to Elijah ¿ have you found me O enemy my and he said I have found [you] because you having sold yourself to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
Akabu n’agamba Eriya nti, “Onsanze, ggwe omulabe wange!” N’amuddamu nti, “Nkusanze, kubanga weewaddeyo okukola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama.
21 Here I ([am] about to bring *Q(k)*) to you evil and I will sweep away after you and I will cut off to Ahab [one who] urinates on a wall and shut up and freed in Israel.
Mukama agamba nti, ‘Laba ndikuleetako akabi, ndimalawo ennyumba yo yonna, era ndiggya ku Akabu buli musajja yenna mu Isirayiri, omuddu n’atali muddu.
22 And I will make house your like [the] house of Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat and like [the] house of Baasha [the] son of Ahijah because of the provocation which you have provoked to anger and you have caused to sin Israel.
Ndifuula ennyumba yo okuba nga eya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, n’eya Baasa mutabani wa Akiya, olw’okusunguwaza kwe wansunguwaza bwe wayonoonyesa Isirayiri.’
23 And also of Jezebel he has spoken Yahweh saying the dogs they will devour Jezebel in [the] rampart of Jezreel.
“Ate era n’eri Yezeberi Mukama bw’ati bw’agamba nti, ‘Embwa ziririira Yezeberi okuliraana bbugwe w’e Yezuleeri.
24 The [one who] dies of Ahab in the city they will devour the dogs and the [one who] dies in the open country they will devour [the] bird[s] of the heavens.
Embwa ziririira omuntu yenna owa Akabu alifiira mu kibuga, ate ennyonyi zirye abo bonna abalifiira ku ttale.’”
25 Certainly not anyone was like Ahab who he sold himself to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh whom she incited him Jezebel wife his.
Tewali musajja eyafaanana nga Akabu, eyeewaayo okukola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama ng’awalirizibwa mukazi we Yezeberi.
26 And he acted abominably exceedingly by walking after the idols according to all that they had done the Amorite[s] whom he dispossessed Yahweh from before [the] people of Israel.
Yakola eby’ekivve ng’agoberera ebifaananyi bya bakatonda, ng’Abamoli be yagoba mu maaso g’abantu ba Isirayiri bwe baakolanga.
27 And it was when heard Ahab the words these and he tore clothes his and he put sackcloth on body his and he fasted and he lay down in the sackcloth and he went about dejectedly.
Awo Akabu bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyo, n’ayuza engoye ze, n’ayambala ebibukutu n’okusiiba n’asiiba. N’agalamira mu bibukutu, era n’atambula nga yeewombeese.
28 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Elijah the Tishbite saying.
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Eriya Omutisubi nti,
29 ¿ Have you seen that he has humbled himself Ahab from to before me because for he has humbled himself from before me not (I will bring *Q(k)*) evil in days his in [the] days of son his I will bring evil on house his.
“Olabye Akabu bwe yeewombeese mu maaso gange? Olw’okubanga yeewombeese mu maaso gange, sirireeta kabi ako mu mirembe gye, naye ndikaleeta mu nnyumba ye mu mirembe gya mutabani we.”
