2 Chronicles 23
1 And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.
Naye mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu Yekoyaada n’alaga obuyinza bwe. N’akola endagaano n’abaduumizi ab’ebibinja eby’ekikumi, era baali Azaliya mutabani wa Yekokamu, ne Isimayiri mutabani wa Yekokanani, ne Azaliya mutabani wa Obedi, ne Maaseya mutabani wa Adaya, ne Erisafaati mutabani wa Zikuli.
2 And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
Ne bagenda mu Yuda yonna ne bakuŋŋaanya Abaleevi n’abakulembeze b’ennyumba za bajjajja ba Isirayiri okuva mu bibuga byonna ebya Yuda ne bajja e Yerusaalemi.
3 And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
Ekibiina kyonna ne bakola endagaano ne kabaka mu yeekaalu ya Katonda. Awo Yekoyaada n’abagamba nti, “Mutabani wa kabaka y’alifuga, nga Mukama bwe yasuubiza bazzukulu ba Dawudi.
4 This [is] the thing that ye shall do: A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, [shall be] porters of the doors;
Era bwe muti bwe munaakola: kimu kya kusatu ku mmwe bakabona n’Abaleevi abanaaberanga ku luwalo ku ssabbiiti munaakuumanga wankaaki,
5 And a third part [shall be] at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people [shall be] in the courts of the house of the LORD.
ate kimu kya kusatu ekirala munaakuumanga olubiri lwa kabaka, n’ekimu kya kusatu ekirala munaakuumanga Omulyango ogw’Omusingi, n’abantu abalala bonna banaabeeranga mu luggya olwa yeekaalu ya Mukama.
6 But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they [are] holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.
Tewabanga n’omu ayingira mu yeekaalu ya Mukama wabula bakabona, n’Abaleevi abanaabeeranga mu luwalo; abo banaayingiranga kubanga batukuvu, naye abantu abalala bonna banaagobereranga ekyo Mukama kye yalagira.
7 And the Levites shall encompass the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever [else] cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.
Abaleevi banaayimiriranga okwetooloola kabaka, buli omu ku bo ng’akutte ebyokulwanyisa bye mu mukono gwe, na buli anaayingiranga mu yeekaalu wa kuttibwa. Mubeere kumpi nnyo ne kabaka, buli gy’anaalaganga.”
8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go [out] on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
Abaleevi n’abantu bonna aba Yuda ne bakola nga Yekoyaada kabona bwe yalagira. Buli omu ku bo n’atwala abasajja be, abo abaali mu luwalo ku Ssabbiiti, wamu n’abo abaali bamaliriza olwabwe, kubanga Yekoyaada kabona yali tannabagaba mu mpalo.
9 Moreover, Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds, spears, and bucklers, and shields, that [had been] king David's, which [were] in the house of God.
N’awa abaduumizi ab’ekikumi amafumu, n’engabo ennene, n’engabo entono, ebyali ebya Kabaka Dawudi, ebyabeeranga mu yeekaalu ya Katonda.
10 And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king on all sides.
Era n’ateekateeka buli musajja okuba omukuumi wa kabaka, nga buli omu ku bo akutte ekyokulwanyisa mu mukono gwe, nga beetoolodde kabaka, n’okwetooloola ekyoto ne yeekaalu, okuva mu bukiikaddyo, okutuuka ku bukiikakkono obwa yeekaalu.
11 Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and [gave him] the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.
Awo Yekoyaada ne batabani be ne bafulumya mutabani wa kabaka ne bamutikkira engule ey’obwakabaka, ne bakola endagaano, era ne bamulangirira okuba kabaka. Ne bamufukako amafuta, ne boogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Wangaala kabaka!”
12 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:
Naye Asaliya bwe yawulira oluyoogaano lw’abantu nga badduka era nga batendereza kabaka, n’agenda gye bali mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
13 And she looked, and behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entrance, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, treason.
N’atunula, laba, kabaka ng’ayimiridde okuliraana empagi ye ku mulyango, n’abakungu n’abafuuwa amakondeere nga bayimiridde okumwetooloola, era nga n’abantu bonna ab’ensi nga basanyuka nga bafuuwa n’amakondeere, n’abayimbi nga bakutte ebivuga byabwe nga bakulembedde okujaguza. Awo Asaliya n’ayuza ebyambalo bye, n’aleekaanira waggulu nti, “Bujeemu! Bujeemu!”
14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said to them, Have her forth without the ranges: and whoever followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.
Yekoyaada kabona n’atuma abaduumizi ab’ebibinja eby’ekikumi, abaavunaanyizibwanga eggye, n’abagamba nti, “Mumufulumye mumuteeke wakati w’enyiriri, mutte n’ekitala omuntu yenna anaamugoberera.” Kabona yali ayogedde nti, “Temumuttira mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.”
15 So they laid hands on her; and when she had come to the entrance of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.
Bwe yali ng’anaatera okutuuka ku mulyango ogw’embalaasi mu luggya olwokubiri, ne bamukwata ne bamuttira eyo.
16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD'S people.
Awo Yekoyaada n’akola endagaano wakati we n’abantu bonna era ne kabaka, nti baliba bantu ba Mukama.
17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
Abantu bonna ne bagenda mu ssabo lya Baali ne balimenyaamenya, ne bamenyaamenya n’ebyoto bye n’ebifaananyi bye, era ne battira ne Matani kabona wa Baali mu maaso g’ebyoto bya Baali.
18 Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt-offerings of the LORD, as [it is] written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, [as it was ordained] by David.
Awo Yekoyaada n’assaawo abanaalabiriranga yeekaalu ya Mukama, era n’alonda bakabona n’Abaleevi Dawudi be yali awadde obuvunaanyizibwa obw’okuwangayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu mateeka ga Musa, nga bajaguza era nga bayimba, nga Dawudi bwe yalagira.
19 And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none [who was] unclean in any thing should enter.
N’ateeka n’abaggazi ku wankaaki za yeekaalu ya Mukama, waleme okubaawo omuntu yenna atali mulongoofu ayingira.
20 And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
N’agenda n’abaduumizi ab’ekikumi, n’abakungu, n’abafuzi b’abantu, n’abantu bonna ab’eggwanga, ne baggya kabaka mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ne bayita mu wankaaki ow’ekyengulu ne balaga mu lubiri lwa kabaka. Ne batuuza kabaka ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka.
21 And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
Abantu bonna ab’ensi ne bajaguza, n’ekibuga ne kitereera, kubanga Asaliya yali attiddwa n’ekitala.
