1 Kings 15

1 Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah.

Awo mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’omunaana ogw’obufuzi bwa Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, Abiyaamu n’atandika okufuga Yuda.

2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

Yafugira mu Yerusaalemi emyaka esatu. Nnyina ye yali Maaka muwala wa Abusaalomu.

3 He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.

N’akola ebibi byonna kitaawe bye yakolanga, omutima gwe ne gutatuukirira mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda we ng’omutima gwa jjajjaawe Dawudi bwe gwali.

4 Nevertheless for David’s sake, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem;

Naye ku lwa Dawudi, Mukama Katonda we n’amuteerawo ettabaaza mu Yerusaalemi era n’ayimusa ne mutabani we okumusikira, era n’okunyweza Yerusaalemi.

5 because David did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and didn’t turn away from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

Dawudi yakola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, n’agondera ebiragiro bya Mukama ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe, okuggyako ensonga ya Uliya Omukiiti.

6 Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

Ne wabangawo entalo wakati w’ennyumba ya Lekobowaamu n’ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwa Abiyaamu.

7 The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

N’ebyafaayo ebirala byonna eby’okufuga kwa Abiyaamu, ne bye yakola, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda? Ne wabangawo entalo wakati wa Abiyaamu ne Yerobowaamu.

8 Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place.

Awo Abiyaamu ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe era n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi. Asa mutabani we n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.

9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.

Awo mu mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri ogw’obufuzi bwa Yerobowaamu kabaka wa Isirayiri, Asa n’alya obwakabaka bwa Yuda.

10 He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

Yafugira mu Yerusaalemi emyaka amakumi ana mu gumu. Jjajjaawe omukazi nga ye Maaka muwala wa Abusaalomu.

11 Asa did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, as David his father did.

Asa n’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga jjajjaawe Dawudi bwe yakola.

12 He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

N’agoba mu nsi abaalyanga ebisiyaga, era n’aggyawo n’ebifaananyi ebyakolebwa n’emikono byonna bajjajjaabe bye baakola.

13 He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah. Asa cut down her image and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

Era n’agoba ne jjajjaawe Maaka ku bwa namasole kubanga yali akoze empagi ya Asera. Asa n’agitema era n’agyokera ku kagga Kidulooni.

14 But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the LORD all his days.

Newaakubadde nga teyaggyawo bifo bigulumivu, omutima gwe gwali ku Mukama ennaku ze zonna.

15 He brought into the LORD’s house the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that he himself had dedicated: silver, gold, and utensils.

N’ayingiza mu yeekaalu ya Mukama effeeza, ne zaabu n’ebintu ebirala kitaawe bye yawaayo ne Asa yennyini bye yawaayo.

16 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

Ne wabangawo entalo wakati wa Asa ne Baasa kabaka wa Isirayiri ennaku zonna ez’okufuga kwabwe.

17 Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

Baasa kabaka wa Isirayiri n’alumba Yuda n’azingiza Laama obutaganya muntu n’omu okufuluma wadde okuyingira mu kitundu kya Asa kabaka wa Yuda.

18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that was left in the treasures of the LORD’s house, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hand of his servants. Then King Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,

Awo Asa n’addira effeeza ne zaabu yonna eyali esigadde mu ggwanika lya yeekaalu ya Mukama n’ey’olubiri lwe, n’abikwasa abakungu be, n’abiweereza Benikadadi mutabani wa Tabulimmoni, muzzukulu wa Keziyoni, eyali kabaka wa Busuuli ng’afugira e Ddamasiko.

19 “Let there be a treaty between me and you, like that between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.”

N’ayogera nti, “Wabeewo endagaano wakati wo nange, ng’eyaliwo wakati wa kitaawo ne kitange. Laba nkuweereza ekirabo ekya ffeeza ne zaabu, omenyewo kaakano endagaano yo ne Baasa kabaka wa Isirayiri, anveeko.”

20 Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

Benikadadi n’akkiriziganya ne kabaka Asa era n’aweereza abaduumizi b’eggye lye okulumba ebibuga bya Isirayiri. N’akuba Iyoni, ne Ddaani, ne Aberubesumaaka ne Kinnerosi yonna ng’okwo kw’otadde Nafutaali.

21 When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.

Awo Baasa bwe yakiwulira n’alekeraawo okuzimba Laama, n’addukira e Tiruza.

22 Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah. No one was exempted. They carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and King Asa used it to build Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

Kabaka Asa n’awa ekiragiro mu Yuda yonna nga kikwata ku buli muntu. Ne batwala amayinja ag’e Laama n’embaawo Baasa bye yazimbisanga, kabaka Asa n’abizimbisa Geba ekya Benyamini, ne Mizupa.

23 Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

Ebyafaayo ebirala byonna eby’omu mirembe gya Asa, n’obuwanguzi bwe era n’ebibuga bye yazimba, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda? Kyokka mu bukadde bwe, n’alwala ebigere.

24 Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.

Awo Asa ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya jjajjaawe Dawudi. Yekosafaati, mutabani we n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.

25 Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.

Nadabu mutabani wa Yerobowaamu n’alya obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri mu mwaka ogwokubiri ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa kabaka wa Yuda. Yafugira Isirayiri emyaka ebiri.

26 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.

N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’atambulira mu ngeri za kitaawe ne mu kibi kye, ebyaleetera Isirayiri okwonoona.

27 Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.

Awo Baasa mutabani wa Akiya ow’omu nnyumba ya Isakaali n’amukolera olukwe, n’amuttira e Gibbesoni ekibuga ky’Abafirisuuti, Nadabu ne Isirayiri yenna bwe baali bakitaayizza.

28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him and reigned in his place.

Baasa n’atta Nadabu mu mwaka ogwokusatu ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa kabaka wa Yuda, ye n’alya obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri.

29 As soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam. He didn’t leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;

Amangwago nga kyajje alye obwakabaka, n’atta ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu yonna n’atalekaawo muntu n’omu omulamu. Yabazikiriza bonna ng’ekigambo kya Mukama kye yayogerera mu muddu we Akiya Omusiiro,

30 for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.

olw’ebibi bya Yerobowaamu bye yakola, era bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri, n’okusunguwaza ne bisunguwaza Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri.

31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Ebyafaayo ebirala eby’omu mirembe gya Nadabu, ne bye yakola, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?

32 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

Ne wabangawo entalo wakati wa Asa ne Baasa kabaka wa Isirayiri, ennaku zonna ez’okufuga kwabwe.

33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah for twenty-four years.

Awo mu mwaka ogwokusatu ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa kabaka wa Yuda, Baasa mutabani wa Akiya n’afuuka kabaka wa Isirayiri yonna e Tiruza, era n’afugira emyaka amakumi abiri mu ena.

34 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.

N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’atambulira mu ngeri za Yerobowaamu, ne mu kibi kye, kye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri.
