2 Chronicles 15
1 And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:
Awo Omwoyo wa Katonda n’akka ku Azaliya mutabani wa Obedi,
2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD [is] with you, while ye are with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
n’agenda n’asisinkana Asa n’amugamba nti, “Mumpulirize, mmwe Asa, ne Yuda ne Benyamini mwenna, Mukama ali nammwe bwe muba mu ye. Bwe munaamunoonyanga, munaamulabanga, naye bwe munaamulekuliranga naye anaabalekuliranga.
3 Now for a long season Israel [hath been] without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
Isirayiri yamala ebbanga ddene nga tegondera Katonda ow’amazima, nga tebalina kabona abayigiriza, wadde okuba n’amateeka.
4 But when they in their trouble returned to the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
Naye wakati mu nnaku yaabwe ne bakyukira Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, ne bamunoonya, era ne bamulaba.
5 And in those times [there was] no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations [were] upon all the inhabitants of the countries.
Mu biro ebyo tewaali mirembe abantu okutambula nga bwe baayagalanga, kubanga baali mu kweraliikirira kungi nnyo.
6 And nation was destroyed by nation, and city by city: for God troubled them with all adversity.
Amawanga n’amawanga gaalwanagananga, n’ebibuga ne birumbagananga kubanga Katonda yabaleetako ebizibu bingi nnyo.
7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak; for your work shall be rewarded.
Naye mmwe mugume omwoyo! Temuganya mikono gyammwe kunafuwa kubanga omulimu gwammwe guliko empeera.”
8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that [was] before the porch of the LORD.
Awo Asa bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyo, n’ebyobunnabbi bwa Azaliya mutabani wa Obedi, n’aguma omwoyo, n’aggyawo ebifaananyi ebyole okuva mu nsi yonna eya Yuda ne Benyamini, n’okuva mu bibuga bye yali awambye mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu. N’addaabiriza ekyoto kya Mukama ekyali mu maaso g’ekisasi ekya yeekaalu ya Mukama.
9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they resorted to him out of Israel in multitudes, when they saw that the LORD his God [was] with him.
N’akuŋŋaanya aba Yuda n’aba Benyamini bonna, n’abantu b’e Efulayimu, n’e Manase, n’e Simyoni abaabeeranga nabo, kubanga bangi basenga gyali okuva mu Isirayiri bwe baalaba nga Mukama Katonda ali wamu naye.
10 So they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
Ne bakuŋŋaanira e Yerusaalemi mu mwezi ogwokusatu mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ettaano ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa.
11 And they offered to the LORD at the same time, of the spoil [which] they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
Ku lunaku olwo ne bawaayo eri Mukama ebimu ku by’omunyago: ente lusanvu, n’endiga n’embuzi zonna kasanvu.
12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
Ne beeyama okunoonyanga Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe, n’omutima gwabwe gwonna, n’emmeeme yaabwe yonna.
13 That whoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
Era abo bonna abatanoonyanga Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri battibwanga, oba bato oba bakulu, oba bakazi oba basajja.
14 And they swore to the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
Ne balayirira Mukama mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, wamu n’okufuuwa amakondeere n’eŋŋombe.
15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found by them: and the LORD gave them rest on all sides.
Yuda yonna ne basanyukira ekirayiro ekyo, kubanga baali balayidde n’omutima gwabwe gwonna, era nga bamunoonyezza n’okwagala kwabwe kwonna, ne bamulaba. Era Mukama n’abawa emirembe enjuuyi zonna.
16 And also [concerning] Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from [being] queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped [it], and burnt [it] at the brook Kidron.
Kabaka Asa n’agoba jjajjaawe Maaka ku bwannamasole kubanga yali akoze ekifaananyi ekyole ekya Asera. Asa n’akitemaatema n’akimenyaamenya, n’akyokera mu kagga Kidulooni.
17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
Newaakubadde nga teyaggyawo bifo ebigulumivu mu Isirayiri, Asa yamalirira mu mutima gwe okunywerera ku Mukama ennaku ze zonna.
18 And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
Mu yeekaalu ya Mukama n’aleetamu effeeza ne zaabu, n’ebintu ye ne kitaawe bye baawonga.
19 And there was no [more] war until the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
Ne wataba ntalo nate okumala emyaka amakumi asatu mu etaano egy’obufuzi bwa Asa.
