2 Kings 17
1 In year two [plus] ten of Ahaz [the] king of Judah he became king Hoshea [the] son of Elah in Samaria over Israel nine years.
Mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ebiri ogw’obufuzi bwa Akazi kabaka wa Yuda, Koseya mutabani wa Era n’afuuka kabaka wa Isirayiri mu Samaliya, n’afugira emyaka mwenda.
2 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh only not like [the] kings of Israel who they were before him.
N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, naye tebyenkana nga bassekabaka ba Isirayiri bye baakola.
3 On him he came up Shalmaneser [the] king of Assyria and he became of him Hoshea subject and he returned to him tribute.
Salumaneseri kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’amulumba, Koseya n’afuuka muddu we era n’amuwanga obusuulu.
4 And he found [the] king of Assyria in Hoshea treason that he had sent messengers to So [the] king of Egypt and not he had brought up tribute to [the] king of Assyria as a year in a year and he arrested him [the] king of Assyria and he confined him [the] house of imprisonment.
Naye oluvannyuma kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’akizuula nga Koseya yali amuliddemu olukwe, kubanga yali atumye ababaka ewa So kabaka w’e Misiri, ate nga takyaweereza busuulu ewa kabaka w’e Bwasuli, nga bwe yakolanga buli mwaka. Salumaneseri kyeyava amukwata n’amuteeka mu kkomera.
5 And he came up [the] king of Assyria in all the land and he came up Samaria and he laid siege on it three years.
Awo kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’alumba ensi yonna, n’atuuka e Samaliya, n’akizingiriza emyaka esatu.
6 In [the] year ninth of Hoshea he captured [the] king of Assyria Samaria and he took into exile Israel Assyria towards and he caused to dwell them in Halah and on [the] Habor [the] river of Gozan and [the] cities of Media.
Mu mwaka ogw’omwenda ogwa Koseya, kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’awamba Samaliya, n’atwala Abayisirayiri mu buwaŋŋanguse e Bwasuli, n’abateeka mu Kala, ne mu Kaboli ku mugga ogw’e Gozani, ne mu bibuga eby’Abameedi.
7 And it was that they had sinned [the] people of Israel to Yahweh God their who had brought up them from [the] land of Egypt from under [the] hand of Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and they had feared gods other.
Bino byonna byabaawo kubanga Abayisirayiri bayonoona mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda waabwe, eyali abaggye mu Misiri okuva mu mukono gwa Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri. Baasinzanga bakatonda abalala,
8 And they had walked in [the] customs of the nations which he had dispossessed Yahweh from before [the] people of Israel and [the] kings of Israel which they had done.
ne bagobereranga empisa za baamawanga Mukama ge yali agobye mu maaso gaabwe. Era bagobereranga n’emizizo bassekabaka ba Isirayiri gye baali bataddewo.
9 And they did secretly [the] people of Israel things which [were] not right on Yahweh God their and they built for themselves high places in all cities their from a tower of watchmen unto a city of fortification.
Abayisirayiri ne bakolanga mu nkizo ebyo ebitaali birungi mu maaso ga Mukama. Ne bazimba ebifo ebigulumivu mu bibuga byabwe byonna, okuviira ddala ku minaala omwabeeranga abakuumi okutuuka ku kibuga ekiriko bbugwe.
10 And they erected for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every hill high and under every tree luxuriant.
Ne beesimbira empagi ez’amayinja n’eza Baasera, ku buli kasozi akawanvu, ne wansi wa buli muti.
11 And they made smoke there at all [the] high places like the nations which he had taken into exile Yahweh from before them and they did things evil to provoke to anger Yahweh.
Ne bookera obubaane ku buli kifo ekigulumivu ng’amawanga gali Mukama ge yali agobye mu maaso gaabwe bwe gaakolanga. Ne bakola ebintu eby’ekivve ne basunguwaza Mukama.
12 And they served the idols which he had said Yahweh to them not you must do the thing this.
Ne basinza ebifaananyi, ate nga Mukama yali abalagidde nti, “Temukolanga ekyo.”
13 And he warned Yahweh Israel and Judah by [the] hand of every ([the] prophets *Q(K)*) every seer saying turn back from ways your evil and keep commandments my statutes my according to all the law which I commanded ancestors your and which I sent to you by [the] hand of servants my the prophets.
Mukama n’alabula Isirayiri ne Yuda ng’akozesa bannabbi n’abalabi nti, “Mukyuke muve mu bibi byammwe, mukuume amateeka gange n’ebiragiro byange, ng’etteeka bwe liri lye nalagira bajjajjammwe, lye nabaweereza nga nkozesa abaddu bange bannabbi.”
14 And not they listened and they stiffened neck their like [the] neck of ancestors their who not they trusted in Yahweh God their.
Naye ne batawuliriza, ne baba bakakanyavu nga bajjajjaabwe bwe baali, abateesiga Mukama Katonda waabwe.
15 And they rejected statutes his and covenant his which he had made with ancestors their and testimonies his which he warned them and they walked after vanity and they became vain and after the nations which [were] around them which he had commanded Yahweh them to not to do like them.
Ne banyooma ebiragiro n’endagaano gye yali akoze ne bajjajjaabwe, n’okulabula kwe yali abawadde. Ne bagoberera bakatonda abataliimu, ate nabo ne bafuuka ebitagasa. Ne bakola ng’amawanga agaali gabeetoolodde bwe gaakolanga, newaakubadde nga Mukama yali abalabudde nti, “Temukolanga ebyo bye bakola.” Ne bakola byonna Mukama bye yali abagaanye okukola.
16 And they forsook all [the] commandments of Yahweh God their and they made for themselves a molten image (two *Q(K)*) calves and they made an Asherah pole and they bowed down to all [the] host of the heavens and they served Baal.
Ne bava ku mateeka ga Mukama Katonda waabwe gonna, ne baweesa ebifaananyi by’ennyana bibiri, n’empagi ey’Asera, ne basinza n’eggye lyonna ery’omu ggulu era ne basinzanga ne Baali.
17 And they made pass sons their and daughters their in the fire and they divined divinations and they practiced divination and they sold themselves to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh to provoke to anger him.
Ne bawaayo abaana baabwe aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala ng’ebiweebwayo mu muliro, ne bakola eby’obufumu n’eby’obulogo, ne beetunda okukola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, okumusunguwaza.
18 And he was angry Yahweh very with Israel and he removed them from on face his not anyone was left only [the] tribe of Judah to only it.
Mukama kyeyava asunguwalira ennyo Isirayiri, n’abagoba mu maaso ge, n’alekawo ekika kya Yuda kyokka.
19 Also Judah not it kept [the] commandments of Yahweh God their and they walked in [the] customs of Israel which they had done.
Kyokka ne Yuda ne batakuuma mateeka ga Mukama Katonda waabwe, naye ne bagoberera empisa za Isirayiri.
20 And he rejected Yahweh all [the] offspring of Israel and he afflicted them and he gave them in [the] hand of plunderers until that he threw them from before him.
Mukama kyeyava aleka ezzadde lyonna erya Isirayiri, n’ababonereza, n’abawaayo mu mikono gy’abanyazi, n’okubagoba n’abagobera ddala okuva mu maaso ge.
21 If he tore Israel from with [the] house of David and they made king Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat (and he enticed away *Q(K)*) Jeroboam Israel from after Yahweh and he caused to sin them a sin great.
Bwe yayawula Isirayiri ku nnyumba ya Dawudi, ne bafuula Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati kabaka waabwe. Yerobowaamu n’aleetera Isirayiri okuviira ddala ku mukama, n’abayonoonyesa n’okusingawo.
22 And they walked [the] people of Israel in all [the] sins of Jeroboam which he did not they turned aside from it.
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne batambulira mu bibi byonna Yerobowaamu bye yakola, ne batabirekaayo,
23 Until that he removed Yahweh Israel from on face his just as he had spoken by [the] hand of all servants his the prophets and it went into exile Israel from on land its Assyria towards until the day this.
okutuusa Mukama lwe yabaggyira ddala okuva mu maaso ge, nga bwe yali abalabudde ng’ayita mu baddu be bannabbi. Awo Abayisirayiri ne batwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse mu nsi eya Bwasuli, gye bali ne kaakano.
24 And he brought [people] [the] king of Assyria from Babylon and from Cuthah and from Avva and from Hamath and Sepharvaim and he caused [them] to dwell in [the] cities of Samaria in place of [the] people of Israel and they took possession of Samaria and they dwelt in cities its.
Awo kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’akuŋŋaanya abantu okuva e Babulooni, Kusa, Ava, Kamasi ne Sefavayimu, n’abaleeta mu bibuga bya Samaliya, Abayisirayiri mwe baabeeranga, Samaliya ne bakitwalira ddala era ne babeera mu bibuga byakyo.
25 And it was at [the] beginning of dwelling they there not they feared Yahweh and he sent Yahweh among them lions and they were killing in them.
Ku ntandikwa bwe babeeramu ne batasinza Mukama, kyeyava abasindikira empologoma ne zitta abamu ku bo.
26 And people said to [the] king of Assyria saying the nations which you took into exile and you caused to dwell in [the] cities of Samaria not they know [the] custom of [the] god of the land and he has sent among them lions and there they [are] killing them since not they [are] knowing [the] custom of [the] god of the land.
Kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’ategeezebwa nti, “Amawanga ge watwala n’obateeka mu bibuga bya Samaliya tebamanyi tteeka lya Katonda w’ensi eyo, kyeyavudde abasindikira empologoma okubatta, kubanga tebamanyi Katonda w’ensi kye yeetaaga.”
27 And he commanded [the] king of Assyria saying take there towards one from the priests whom you took into exile from there so they may go and they may dwell there so he may teach them [the] custom of [the] god of the land.
Amangwago kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’alagira nti, “Mutumeyo omu ku bakabona be mwawamba okuva mu Samaliya agende abeere eyo, ayigirize abantu amateeka ga Katonda w’ensi eyo.”
28 And he went one from the priests whom they had taken into exile from Samaria and he dwelt in Beth-el and he was teaching them how? will they fear Yahweh.
Awo omu ku bakabona eyali awaŋŋangusibbwa okuva mu Samaliya n’agenda n’abeera e Beseri, n’abayigiriza bwe kibagwanira okusinza Mukama.
29 And they were making nation nation own gods its and they placed [them] - in [the] house of the high places which they had made the Samaritans nation nation in own cities their where they [were] dwelling there.
Newaakubadde nga kabona yagendayo, buli ggwanga beekolera bakatonda baabwe, ne babateeka mu masabo Abasamaliya ge baali bazimbye ku bifo ebigulumivu mu bibuga byabwe.
30 And [the] people of Babylon they made Succoth Benoth and [the] people of Cuthah they made Nergal and [the] people of Hamath they made Ashima.
Abasajja ab’e Babulooni ne bakola Sukkosubenosi, abasajja ab’e Kuusi ne bakola Nengali, abasajja ab’e Kamasi ne bakola Asima:
31 And the Avvites they made Nibhaz and Tartak and the Sepharvites [were] burning children their in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech ([the] gods of Sepharvaim. *Q(K)*)
Abavi ne bakola Nibukazi ne Talutaki, Abasefavayimu ne bookera abaana baabwe mu muliro, nga babawaayo ng’ebiweebwayo eri Adulammereki ne Anammereki, bakatonda ba Sefavayimu.
32 And they were fearing Yahweh and they appointed for themselves from among themselves priests of [the] high places and they were offering for them in [the] house of the high places.
Baasinzanga Mukama, naye ne balonda n’abantu ab’engeri zonna okuva mu bokka ne bokka okuba bakabona, ab’ebifo ebigulumivu, abaabaweerangayo ssaddaaka mu masabo ag’ebifo ebigulumivu.
33 Yahweh they were fearing and own gods their they were serving according to [the] custom of the nations which they had taken into exile them from there.
Ne basinzanga Mukama, naye nga bwe baweereza ne bakatonda baabwe, ng’empisa ez’amawanga gye baali bavudde bwe zalinga.
34 Until the day this they [are] doing according to the customs former not they [are] fearing Yahweh and not they [are] doing according to statutes their and according to judgment their and according to the law and according to the commandment which he commanded Yahweh [the] descendants of Jacob whom he made name his Israel.
Ne leero bakyeyisa mu ngeri y’emu. Tebasinza Mukama so tebagoberera biragiro n’amateeka Mukama bye yalagira bazzukulu ba Yakobo, gwe yatuuma Isirayiri.
35 And he made Yahweh with them a covenant and he commanded them saying not you must fear gods other and not you must bow down to them and not you must serve them and not you must sacrifice to them.
Mukama bwe yakola endagaano n’Abayisirayiri, yabalagira nti, “Temusinzanga bakatonda balala, so temubavuunamiranga so temubaweerezanga, wadde okuwaayo ssaddaaka gye bali.
36 That except Yahweh who he brought up you from [the] land of Egypt with power great and by an arm outstretched him you will fear and to him you will bow down and to him you will sacrifice.
Mwekuumenga okugobereranga ebiragiro n’amateeka, n’etteeka, n’ekiragiro bye yabawandiikira. Temusinzanga bakatonda abalala.
37 And the statutes and the judgments and the law and the commandment which he wrote for you you will take care! to do all the days and not you must fear gods other.
Naye musinzanga Mukama eyabaggya mu Misiri n’amaanyi amangi n’omukono gwe, gwe yagolola. Oyo ggwe munavuunamiranga era ne muwaayo ssaddaaka eri ye.
38 And the covenant which I made with you not you must forget and not you must fear gods other.
Temwerabiranga endagaano gye nakola nammwe, era temusinzanga bakatonda abalala.
39 That except Yahweh God your you will fear and he he will deliver you from [the] hand of all enemies your.
Wabula musinzanga Mukama Katonda wammwe, kubanga y’anaabalokolanga mu mukono gw’abalabe bammwe bonna.”
40 And not they listened that except according to custom their former they [were] doing.
Naye ne batawuliriza, ne beeyongeranga mu mpisa zaabwe ez’edda.
41 And they were - the nations these fearing Yahweh and idols their they were serving also children their - and [the] children of children their just as they did fathers their they [are] doing until the day this.
Newaakubadde ng’amawanga ago baasinzanga Mukama, kyokka beeyongeranga okusinza bakatonda baabwe. Ne leero abaana baabwe ne bazzukulu baabwe bakola nga bajjajjaabwe bwe baakolanga.
