1 Athamaki 22
1 Na rĩrĩ, kwa ihinda rĩa mĩaka ĩtatũ gũtiarĩ na mbaara gatagatĩ ga Suriata na Isiraeli.
Ne wataba ntalo wakati wa Busuuli ne Isirayiri okumala emyaka esatu.
2 No mwaka-inĩ wa gatatũ, Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda agĩikũrũka, agĩthiĩ gũceerera mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
Naye mu mwaka ogwokusatu Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda n’aserengeta okugenda okukyalira kabaka wa Isirayiri.
3 Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩakoretwo eera anene ake atĩrĩ, “Githĩ mũtiũĩ atĩ Ramothu-Gileadi nĩ itũũra riitũ, na gũtirĩ ũndũ tũreka wa kũrĩoya rĩngĩ kuuma kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Suriata?”
Kabaka wa Isirayiri yali agambye abaami be nti, “Mumanyi nti Lamosugireyaadi kyaffe, naye ate nga tetulina kye tukola wo okukiggya ku kabaka wa Busuuli?”
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩũria Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Nĩũgũthiĩ na niĩ tũkahũũranĩre itũũra rĩa Ramothu-Gileadi?” Nake Jehoshafatu agĩcookeria mũthamaki wa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nawe tũrĩ ũndũ ũmwe, andũ akwa no ta andũ aku, na mbarathi ciakwa no ta mbarathi ciaku.”
Mu kiseera ekyo n’abuuza Yekosafaati nti, “Onoogenda nange mu lutalo e Lamosugireyaadi?” Yekosafaati n’addamu kabaka wa Isirayiri nti, “Nze ndi nga bw’oli abantu bange ng’abantu bo, n’embalaasi zange ng’ezizo.”
5 No Jehoshafatu agĩcooka akĩĩra mũthamaki wa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Amba ũtuĩrie na ũmenye ũtaaro wa Jehova.”
Naye Yekosafaati n’ayongerako nti, “Sooka weebuuze ku Mukama.”
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩcookanĩrĩria anabii hamwe, nao maarĩ anabii ta magana mana, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ngahũũranĩre itũũra rĩa Ramothu-Gileadi, kana ndigathiĩ?” Makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩekũneana itũũra rĩu moko-inĩ ma mũthamaki.”
Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri n’akuŋŋaanya bannabbi awamu nga bawera ng’ebikumi bina, n’ababuuza nti, “Ŋŋende ntabaale e Lamosugireyaadi oba ndekeyo?” Ne baddamu nti, “Genda kubanga Mukama alikigabula mu mukono gwa kabaka.”
7 Nowe Jehoshafatu akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ gũkũ gũtarĩ mũnabii wa Jehova ũrĩa tũngĩtuĩria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ we?”
Naye Yekosafaati n’abuuza nti, “Wano tewaliwo nnabbi wa Mukama gwe tuyinza kwebuuzaako?”
8 Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩcookeria Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũmwe ũrĩa ũngĩtũtuĩrĩria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ Jehova, no nĩndĩmũthũire tondũ gũtirĩ hĩndĩ andathagĩra ũndũ mwega, no maũndũ mooru hĩndĩ ciothe. Nake nĩwe Mikaya mũrũ wa Imula.” No Jehoshafatu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki ndagĩrĩirwo nĩ kuuga ũguo.”
Kabaka wa Isirayiri n’addamu Yekosafaati nti, “Wakyaliyo omusajja omu gwe tuyinza okwebuuzaako eri Mukama erinnya lye ye Mikaaya mutabani wa Imula naye namukyawa kubanga tewali kirungi ky’alagula ku nze, wabula ebibi.”
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩĩta ũmwe wa anene ake, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndehera Mikaya mũrũ wa Imula narua.”
Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri n’alagira omu ku baami be nti, “Yanguwa mangu okuleeta Mikaaya mutabani wa Imula.”
10 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki wa Isiraeli na Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda mehumbĩte nguo ciao cia ũthamaki na magaikarĩra itĩ ciao cia ũnene hau kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano, itoonyero-inĩ rĩa kĩhingo gĩa itũũra rĩa Samaria, nao anabii othe maarĩ ho makĩratha me mbere yao.
Awo Kabaka wa Isirayiri ne Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda nga bambadde ebyambalo byabwe eby’obwakabaka era nga batudde ku ntebe zaabwe ez’obwakabaka mu mulyango ogwa wankaaki w’ekibuga Samaliya, nga ne bannabbi bonna balagulira awo we baali;
11 Na rĩrĩ, Zedekia mũrũ wa Kenaana nĩathondekete hĩa cia kĩgera, nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Ici nĩcio mũgatheeca Asuriata nacio nginya mũmaniine.’”
Zeddekiya mutabani wa Kenaana yali yeekoledde amayembe ag’ebyuma, n’ayogera nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Olisindikiriza Abasuuli ne gano okutuusa lwe balisaanyizibwawo.’”
12 Nao anabii acio angĩ othe maarathaga o ũndũ ũmwe, makoiga atĩrĩ, “Tharĩkĩra Ramothu-Gileadi na nĩũgũtooria, tondũ Jehova nĩekũrĩneana moko-inĩ ma mũthamaki.”
Bannabbi abalala bonna nabo baalagula kye kimu, nga boogera nti, “Yambuka olumbe Lamosugireyaadi obe muwanguzi kubanga Mukama ajja kukigabula mu mukono gwa kabaka.”
13 Mũndũ ũrĩa watũmĩtwo ageete Mikaya akĩmwĩra ũũ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, anabii arĩa angĩ othe maarĩtie o ta mũndũ ũmwe, nao mararathĩra mũthamaki ũhootani. Reke kiugo gĩaku gĩĩtĩkanie na kĩao, na warie ũndũ mwega.”
Omubaka eyatumibwa okuleeta Mikaaya n’amugamba nti, “Laba ebigambo bya bannabbi abalala biragula buwanguzi eri kabaka, kale ekigambo kyo nakyo kikkiriziganye nabyo, oyogere bulungi.”
14 Nowe Mikaya akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, niĩ ngũmwĩra o ũrĩa Jehova ekũnjĩĩra.”
Naye Mikaaya n’ayogera nti, “Nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, nzija kwogera ekyo kyokka Mukama ky’anaŋŋamba.”
15 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aakinyire-rĩ, mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mikaya, tũthiĩ tũkahũũranĩre itũũra rĩa Ramothu-Gileadi, kana tũtigaathiĩ?” Nake Mikaya akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Rĩtharĩkĩre na ũhootane, tondũ Jehova nĩekũrĩneana moko-inĩ ma mũthamaki.”
Bwe yatuuka awali kabaka, kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Mikaaya tulumbe Lamosugireyaadi, nantiki tulekeyo?” N’amuddamu nti, “Kirumbe obe muwanguzi kubanga Mukama anakigabula mu mukono gwa kabaka.”
16 Mũthamaki akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ maita maigana ngũtũũra ngwĩhĩtithagia ndũkae kũnjĩĩra ũhoro ũngĩ, tiga ũhoro wa ma thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova?”
Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Nnaakulayiza emirundi emeka okutegeeza amazima mu linnya lya Mukama?”
17 Nake Mikaya akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndĩronire andũ a Isiraeli othe mahurunjũkĩire irĩma-inĩ ta ngʼondu itarĩ na mũrĩithi, nake Jehova aroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Andũ aya matirĩ na mwathi. O mũndũ nĩarekwo ainũke gwake na thayũ.’”
Nnabbi n’addamu nti, “Nalaba Isirayiri yenna ng’esaasaanye ku nsozi, ng’endiga ezitalina musumba.” Mukama n’ayogera nti, “Bano tebalina mukama waabwe, era buli omu ku bbo addeyo ewuwe mirembe.”
18 Nake mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩra Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndikwĩrire atĩ ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩndathĩra ũhoro mwega, tiga o ũrĩa mũũru?”
Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri n’agamba Yekosafaati nti, “Saakugambye nti, talina kirungi ky’andagulako wabula ekibi?”
19 Mikaya agĩthiĩ na mbere, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio thikĩrĩria kiugo kĩa Jehova: Ndĩronire Jehova aikarĩire gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene arĩ na mbũtũ yothe ya igũrũ ĩrũgamĩte ĩmũthiũrũkĩirie mwena wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho.
Mikaaya n’ayogera nti, “Noolwekyo wulira ekigambo kya Mukama nti: Nalaba Mukama ng’atudde ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka nga n’eggye lyonna ery’omu ggulu liyimiridde ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo ne mukono gwe ogwa kkono.
20 Nake Jehova akĩũria atĩrĩ, ‘Nũũ ũkũheenereria Ahabu nĩguo atharĩkĩre Ramothu-Gileadi, nĩgeetha athiĩ agakuĩre kuo?’ “Ũmwe akiuga ũũ, na ũrĩa ũngĩ ũũ.
Mukama n’ayogera nti, ‘Ani anaasendasenda Akabu ayambuke okulumba Lamosugireyaadi afiire eyo?’ Omu ku bo n’addamu bulala, n’omulala n’addamu bulala.
21 Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ roho ũmwe ũkiumĩra, ũkĩrũgama mbere ya Jehova, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ niĩ ngũmũheenereria.’
Ku nkomerero ne wavaayo omwoyo ne guyimirira mu maaso ga Mukama ne gwogera nti, ‘Nze nnaamusendasenda.’
22 “Jehova akĩũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkũmũheenereria atĩa?’ “Naguo ũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩgũthiĩ ngũthiĩ nduĩke roho wa maheeni tũnua-inĩ twa anabii ake othe.’ “Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Wee nĩũkũhota kũmũheenereria. Thiĩ ũgeeke ũguo.’
“Mukama n’abuuza nti, ‘Mu ngeri ki?’ Omwoyo ne guddamu nti, ‘Nzija kugenda nfuuke omwoyo ogw’obulimba mu mimwa gya bannabbi be bonna.’ Mukama n’addamu nti, ‘Ojja kusobola okumusendasenda, genda okole bw’otyo.’
23 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova nĩekĩrĩte roho wa maheeni tũnua-inĩ twa anabii aya aku othe. Jehova nĩagwathĩrĩirie mwanangĩko.”
“Kale nno, Mukama atadde omwoyo omulimba mu mimwa gya buli nnabbi wo era Mukama amaliridde okukusaanyaawo.”
24 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Zedekia mũrũ wa Kenaana agĩkuhĩrĩria na akĩgũtha Mikaya rũhĩ rwa ũthiũ. Akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ roho wa Jehova aragereire kũ rĩrĩa aroimire kũrĩ niĩ, nĩguo aarie nawe?”
Awo Zeddekiya mutabani wa Kenaana n’asembera n’akuba Mikaaya oluyi ku ttama, n’ayogera nti, “Omwoyo wa Mukama yampiseeko atya okwogera nawe?”
25 Mikaya agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkamenya mũthenya ũrĩa ũgaathiĩ kwĩhitha kanyũmba ka na thĩinĩ.”
Awo Mikaaya n’addamu nti, “Laba, ekyo onokimanya ku lunaku lw’oligenda okwekweka mu kisenge eky’omunda.”
26 Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Oyai Mikaya mũmũcookie kũrĩ Amoni mwathi wa itũũra inene, na kũrĩ Joashu mũrũ wa mũthamaki,
Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri n’alagira nti, “Mukwate Mikaaya, mumuzzeeyo ewa Amoni omukulu w’ekibuga, n’eri Yowaasi mutabani wa kabaka,
27 na muge atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthamaki ekuuga ũũ: Mũndũ ũyũ nĩaikio njeera na ndakaheo kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa tiga mũgate na maaĩ, nginya rĩrĩa ngaacooka na thayũ.’”
era mwogere nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera kabaka nti: muteeke omuntu ono mu kkomera, ate temumuwa ekintu kyonna okuggyako omugaati n’amazzi okutuusa lwe ndikomawo emirembe.’”
28 Mikaya akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩgaacooka na thayũ-rĩ, no gũtuĩkire atĩ Jehova ndaarĩtie na niĩ.” Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Iguai ũhoro wakwa, inyuĩ andũ aya inyuothe!”
Mikaaya n’alangirira nti, “Bw’olikomawo emirembe, Mukama nga tayogeredde mu nze.” Era n’ayongerako nti, “Mugenderere ebigambo byange, mmwe abantu mwenna.”
29 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli na Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda makĩambata nginya Ramothu-Gileadi.
Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri ne Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda ne bambuka e Lamosugireyaadi.
30 Nake mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩra Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũtoonya mbaara-inĩ ndĩĩgarũrĩte ndikamenyeke, no wee wĩkĩre nguo cia ũthamaki.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩgarũra ndakamenyeke na agĩtoonya mbaara-inĩ.
Kabaka wa Isirayiri n’agamba Yekosafaati nti, “Nzija kugenda mu lutalo nga nneefudde omuntu omulala, naye ggwe oyambale ebyambalo eby’obwakabaka.” Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri ne yeefuula omuntu omulala n’agenda mu lutalo.
31 Na rĩrĩ, mũthamaki wa Suriata nĩathĩte anene ake mĩrongo ĩtatũ na eerĩ a ngaari cia ita, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Mũtikarũe na mũndũ o na ũmwe, mũnene kana mũnini, tiga o mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.”
Kabaka w’e Busuuli yali alagidde abaduumizi b’amagaali nti, “Temulwanagana na muntu yenna, kabe mutono oba mukulu, wabula kabaka wa Isirayiri yekka.”
32 Rĩrĩa anene a mbũtũ cia ngaari cia ita moonire Jehoshafatu magĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ ũyũ nĩwe mũthamaki wa Isiraeli” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩgarũrũka mamũtharĩkĩre, no rĩrĩa Jehoshafatu aakaire-rĩ,
Awo abaduumizi b’amagaali bwe baalaba Yekosafaati, ne balowooza nti, “Ddala ono ye kabaka wa Isirayiri.” Ne batanula okumulumba, naye Yekosafaati n’aleekaanira waggulu,
33 anene acio a ngaari cia ita makĩona atĩ ũcio ti mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, magĩtiga kũmũingatithia.
abaduumizi b’amagaali ne bategeera nti si ye kabaka wa Isirayiri ne balekeraawo okumugoba.
34 No mũndũ ũmwe akĩgeeta ũta wake, agĩikia mũguĩ o ro ũguo, naguo ũkĩratha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli o gatagatĩ-inĩ ka magathĩkanĩrio ma nguo yake ya mbaara. Nake mũthamaki akĩĩra mũtwarithia wa ngaari yake ya ita atĩrĩ, “Garũra ngaari ũndute mbaara-inĩ. Nĩndagurario.”
Awo omuntu omu n’amala galasa akasaale ke, ne kakwata kabaka wa Isirayiri ebyambalo bye eby’ebyuma we bigattira, n’agamba omugoba w’eggaali lye nti, “Kyusa eggaali onzigye mu lutalo, kubanga nfumitiddwa.”
35 Nayo mbaara ĩkĩneneha, ĩgĩthiĩ na mbere mũthenya wothe, nake mũthamaki agĩikara anyiitĩrĩirwo ngaari-inĩ yake ya ita angʼetheire Asuriata. Nayo thakame ĩkiura kuuma kĩronda gĩake hau aagurarĩtio, ĩgĩitĩka ngaari-inĩ ya ita, na hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio agĩkua.
Olutalo ne lweyongerera ddala nnyo ku lunaku olwo, era kabaka ne bamukwatirira mu gaali lye nga litunuulaganye n’Abasuuli. Omusaayi okuva mu kiwundu kye ne gukulukuta nnyo mu gaali, n’oluvannyuma n’afa.
36 Riũa rĩgĩthũa, gũkĩanĩrĩrwo kũrĩ mbũtũ cia ita, ikĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “O mũndũ nĩainũke itũũra rĩake; o mũndũ nĩacooke bũrũri wake!”
Enjuba bwe yali ng’eneetera okugwa, ne waba ekirango ekyabuna mu ggye nti, “Buli muntu adde mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe, era buli muntu adde mu nsi y’ewaabwe!”
37 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩkua na agĩtwarwo Samaria, makĩmũthika kuo.
Awo kabaka n’afa n’aleetebwa e Samaliya, era n’aziikibwa eyo.
38 Nao magĩthambĩria ngaari ĩyo ya ita karia-inĩ ga Samaria, (harĩa maraya meethambagĩra), nacio ngui igĩcũna thakame yake, o ta ũrĩa kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩoigĩte.
Ne booleza eggaali lye awaali ekidiba kya Samaliya, bamalaaya we baanaabiranga, embwa ne zikomba omusaayi gwe, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyayogerwa.
39 Namo maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Ahabu, hamwe na maũndũ marĩa we eekire, na nyũmba ya ũthamaki ĩrĩa aakithirie na ĩkĩgemio na mĩguongo, o na matũũra marĩa airigire na thingo cia hinya, githĩ maũndũ macio matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
Ebyafaayo ebirala eby’omulembe gwa Akabu, n’ebyo bye yakola, n’olubiri lwe yazimba n’alulongoosa n’amasanga, n’ebibuga bye yazimbako bbugwe, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
40 Ahabu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make. Nake mũriũ Ahazia agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
Awo Akabu ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, Akaziya mutabani we n’amusikira.
41 Jehoshafatu mũrũ wa Asa aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Juda mwaka-inĩ wa ĩna wa Ahabu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
Awo Yekosafaati mutabani wa Asa n’atandika okufuga mu Yuda mu mwaka ogw’amakumi ana ogwa Akabu kabaka wa Isirayiri.
42 Jehoshafatu aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtano rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano. Nyina eetagwo Azuba mwarĩ wa Shilihi.
Yekosafaati yalina emyaka egy’obukulu amakumi asatu mu etaano we yatandikira okufuga, era n’afugira mu Yerusaalemi okumala emyaka amakumi abiri mu etaano. Nnyina erinnya lye ye yali Azuba muwala wa Siruki.
43 No maũndũ-inĩ mothe, aarũmĩrĩire mĩthiĩre ya ithe Asa na ndarĩ hĩndĩ aatiganire nayo; nĩekire maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova. O na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gũtieheririo, nao andũ magĩthiĩ na mbere kũrutĩra magongona na gũcinĩra ũbumba kuo.
N’atambulira mu ngeri za kitaawe Asa era n’atazivaamu, ng’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, newaakubadde nga teyaggyawo bifo bigulumivu, abantu ne beeyongeranga okuweerayo ssaddaaka n’okwokya obubaane.
44 Ningĩ Jehoshafatu magĩikara marĩ na thayũ na mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
Yekosafaati n’atabagana ne kabaka wa Isirayiri.
45 Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jehoshafatu, na maũndũ marĩa aahingirie, o na ũhootani wake mbaara-inĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Juda?
Ebyafaayo ebirala eby’omulembe gwa Yekosafaati, ebintu bye yakola, n’amaanyi ge mu ntalo, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
46 Nake akĩniina bũrũri-inĩ arũme arĩa maahũũraga ũmaraya na arũme arĩa angĩ mahooero-inĩ, arĩa maatigaire kuo kuuma hĩndĩ ya ũthamaki wa ithe Asa.
N’aggyirawo ddala abaalyanga ebisiyaga abaali basigaddewo mu nsi, oluvannyuma lw’omulembe gwa kitaawe Asa.
47 Hĩndĩ ĩyo gũtiarĩ mũthamaki Edomu; mũnini wa mũthamaki nĩwe waathanaga.
Awo mu biro ebyo ne wataba kabaka mu Edomu, omusigire wa kabaka n’afuga.
48 Nake Jehoshafatu nĩaakire marikabu nyingĩ cia wonjoria, cia gũthiĩ kũgĩĩra thahabu Ofiri, no itiigana gũthiĩ, tondũ nĩcioinĩkangĩire kũu Ezioni-Geberi.
Yekosafaati yali azimbye ekibinja eky’ebyombo okugenda e Ofiri okukimangayo zaabu, naye ne bitasobola, kubanga byonna byabbira e Eziyonigeba.
49 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ahazia mũrũ wa Ahabu akĩĩra Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩria andũ akwa matherere hamwe na andũ aku,” nowe Jehoshafatu akĩrega.
Mu kiseera ekyo Akaziya mutabani wa Akabu yali agambye Yekosafaati nti, “Abasajja bange ka baseeyeeye n’ababo,” naye Yekosafaati n’atakyagala.
50 Nake Jehoshafatu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, agĩthikwo hamwe nao itũũra-inĩ rĩa ithe Daudi. Nake mũriũ Jehoramu agĩthamaka ithenya rĩake.
Awo Yekosafaati ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe era n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi jjajjaawe, Yekolaamu mutabani we n’amusikira.
51 Ahazia mũrũ wa Ahabu aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Isiraeli kũu Samaria mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na mũgwanja wa Jehoshafatu, mũthamaki wa Juda, nake agĩthamakĩra Isiraeli mĩaka ĩĩrĩ.
Awo Akaziya mutabani wa Akabu n’alya obwakabaka kabaka bwa Isirayiri mu Samaliya mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’omusanvu ogwa Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda, era n’afuga Isirayiri okumala emyaka ebiri.
52 Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, tondũ nĩarũmĩrĩire mĩthiĩre ya ithe na nyina na mĩthiĩre ya Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati, ũrĩa watũmire Isiraeli mehie.
N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, ne yeeyisa nga kitaawe bwe yeeyisanga, era nga ne nnyina bwe yakolanga, ate era nga Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, eyaleetera Isirayiri okwonoona bwe yakolanga.
53 Nake agĩtungatĩra Baali, akĩmĩinamĩrĩra akĩmĩhooya, na akĩrakaria Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli o ta ũrĩa ithe eekĩte.
Yaweereza era n’asinza Baali, n’asunguwaza Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, mu ngeri zonna nga kitaawe bwe yakola.
