1 Bassekabaka 16
1 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeeku mutabani wa Kanani nga kyogera ku Baasa nti,
Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu, the son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying:
2 “Nakugulumiza nga nkuggya mu nfuufu ne nkufuula mukulembeze w’abantu bange Isirayiri, naye watambulira mu ngeri za Yerobowaamu era n’oyonoonyesa abantu bange Isirayiri, ne bansunguwaza n’ebibi byabwe.
“Even though I exalted you from the dust, and I set you as ruler over my people Israel, still you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and you have caused my people Israel to sin, so that you have provoked me by their sins.
3 Laba, ndisaanyizaawo ddala Baasa n’ennyumba ye, era ndifuula ennyumba ye okuba ng’eya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati.
Behold, I will cut down the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house. And I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.
4 Omuntu yenna owa Baasa bw’alifiira mu kibuga, omulambo gwe guliriibwa embwa, n’abo abalifiira ku ttale, ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga zirirya emirambo gyabwe.”
Whoever will have died of Baasha in the city, the dogs will consume him. And whoever will have died of him in the countryside, the birds of the air will consume him.”
5 Ebyafaayo ebirala eby’omu mirembe gya Baasa, bye yakola, awamu n’ebintu ebirungi bye yakola, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
Now the rest of the words of Baasha, and whatever he did, and his battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
6 Awo Baasa ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe n’aziikibwa e Tiruza, mutabani we Era n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.
Then Baasha slept with his fathers, and he was buried at Tirzah. And Elah, his son, reigned in his place.
7 Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kituukirira, ekyajjira Yeeku mutabani wa Kanani ekikwata ku Baasa n’ennyumba ye olw’ebibi bye yakola mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’amusunguwaza olw’ebyo bye yakola, n’olw’okwonoona ng’afaanana ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu, ate era n’olw’okuba nga yagisaanyaawo.
And when the word of the Lord had arrived by the hand of the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, against Baasha, and against his house, and against every evil that he had done before the Lord, so that he provoked him by the works of his hands, so that he became like the house of Jeroboam: for this reason, he killed him, that is, the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani.
8 Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri mu omukaaga ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa kabaka wa Yuda, Era mutabani wa Baasa n’afuuka kabaka wa Isirayiri; n’afugira mu Tiruza emyaka ebiri.
In the twenty-sixth year of Asa, the king of Judah, Elah, the son of Baasha, reigned over Israel, at Tirzah, for two years.
9 Awo Zimuli, omu ku bakungu be, eyakuliranga ekitundu ky’amagaali ge, n’amukolera olukwe. Mu kiseera ekyo Era yali Tiruza, ng’atamiirira mu maka ga Aluza, omusajja eyavunaanyizibwanga olubiri lw’e Tiruza.
And his servant Zimri, the commander of one half part of the horsemen, rebelled against him. Now Elah was drinking at Tirzah, and he became inebriated in the house of Arza, the prefect of Tirzah.
10 Mu kiseera ekyo, Zimuli n’ayingira n’amukuba n’amutta, n’oluvannyuma n’alya obwakabaka. Gwali mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri mu omusanvu ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa kabaka wa Yuda.
Then Zimri, rushing in, struck him and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa, the king of Judah. And he reigned in his place.
11 Awo olwatuuka nga kyajje atuule ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka n’atta abantu b’ennyumba ya Baasa bonna, obutalekaawo musajja n’omu wa luganda lwa Baasa wadde mikwano gye.
And when he had reigned and had sat upon his throne, he struck down the entire house of Baasha. And he did not leave behind of them anything that urinates against a wall, among both close relatives and his friends.
12 Bw’atyo Zimuli n’asaanyaawo ennyumba ya Baasa yonna, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyali kye yayogera ku Baasa ng’ayita mu nnabbi Yeeku,
And so, Zimri destroyed the entire house of Baasha, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken to Baasha, by the hand the prophet of Jehu,
13 olw’ebibi bya Baasa ne mutabani we Era bye baakola n’okwonoonyesa Isirayiri, nga basunguwaza Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri olwa bakatonda beebeekolera abatagasa.
because of all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah, his son, who sinned and caused Israel to sin, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, with their vanities.
14 Eby’afaayo ebirala eby’omu mirembe gya Era, ne bye yakola byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo ky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
But the rest of the words of Elah, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
15 Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri mu omusanvu ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa kabaka wa Yuda, Zimuli n’afugira e Tiruza ennaku musanvu. Eggye lyali lisiisidde okumpi ne Gibbesoni ekibuga ky’Abafirisuuti.
In the twenty-seventh year of Asa, the king of Judah, Zimri reigned for seven days in Tirzah. For the army was besieging Gibbethon, a city of the Philistines.
16 Ku lunaku olwo Abayisirayiri abaali mu nkambi bwe baawulira nti Zimuli yasala olukwe, n’atta kabaka, Isirayiri yonna ne balangirira Omuli omuduumizi w’eggye okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri.
And when they had heard that Zimri had rebelled, and that he had killed the king, all of Israel made Omri as a king for themselves; he was the leader of the military over Israel in the encampment in that day.
17 Omuli n’Abayisirayiri bonna abaali awamu naye ne bava e Gibbesoni ne bambuka okuzingiza Tiruza.
Therefore, Omri ascended, and all of Israel with him, from Gibbethon, and they besieged Tirzah.
18 Zimuli bwe yalaba ng’ekibuga kiwambiddwa, n’addukira mu lubiri olw’omunda, olubiri lwonna n’alukumako omuliro. N’afiira omwo.
Then Zimri, seeing that the city was about to be taken, entered the palace, and he set fire to himself along with the royal house. And he died
19 Ekyo kyamutuukako olw’ebibi bye yakola mu maaso ga Mukama, n’okutambulira mu ngeri za Yerobowaamu, ne mu kibi kye yakola, ne bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri.
in his sins, which he had sinned, doing evil before the Lord, and walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin, by which he caused Israel to sin.
20 Eby’afaayo ebirala eby’omu mirembe gya Zimuli, n’obujeemu bwe, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
But the rest of the words of Zimri, and of his treachery and tyranny, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
21 Abantu ba Isirayiri ne baawukanamu ebibiina bibiri, ekitundu ekimu nga kiwagira Tibuni mutabani wa Ginasi okuba kabaka, nga n’ekitundu ekirala kiwagira Omuli.
Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: one half part of the people followed Tibni, the son of Ginath, having appointed him as king, and one half part followed Omri.
22 Naye abagoberezi ba Omuli ne basinza aba Tibuni mutabani wa Ginasi amaanyi; Tibuni n’afa, Omuli n’afuuka kabaka.
But the people who were with Omri prevailed over the people who were following Tibni, the son of Ginath. And Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
23 Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi asatu mu ogumu ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa kabaka wa Yuda, Omuli n’alya obwakabaka obwa Isirayiri era n’afugira emyaka kkumi n’ebiri, mukaaga ku gyo ng’ali mu Tiruza.
In the thirty-first year of Asa, the king of Judah, Omri reigned over Israel for twelve years; he reigned for six years at Tirzah.
24 Yagula olusozi lw’e Samaliya ku Semeri, ekilo nsanvu eza ffeeza, n’aluzimbako ekibuga, n’akituuma Samaliya, okukibbulamu Semeri eyali nannyini lusozi.
And he bought the mount of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. And he built upon it, and he called the name of the city that he had built, Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the mount.
25 Naye Omuli n’akola ebyali ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, era n’ayonoona nnyo okusinga n’abo abaamusooka.
But Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and he wrought wickedness, beyond all who had been before him.
26 N’atambulira mu ngeri zonna eza Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, ne mu kibi kye, kye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri era n’asunguwaza Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri olwa bakatonda beebeekolera abatagasa.
And he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and in his sins, by which he had caused Israel to sin, so that he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, by their vanities.
27 Ebyafaayo ebirala eby’omu mirembe gya Omuli, ne bye yakola, n’ebyobuzira bye, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
Now the rest of the words of Omri, and his battles that he carried out, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
28 Omuli ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe n’aziikibwa mu Samaliya; Akabu n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.
And Omri slept with his fathers, and he was buried in Samaria. And Ahab, his son, reigned in his place.
29 Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi asatu mu omunaana ogw’obufuzi bwa Asa Kabaka wa Yuda, Akabu mutabani wa Omuli n’alya obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri, n’afugira Isirayiri mu Samaliya emyaka amakumi abiri mu ebiri.
Truly, Ahab, the son of Omri, reigned over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa, the king of Judah. And Ahab, the son of Omri, reigned over Israel at Samaria for twenty-two years.
30 Akabu mutabani wa Omuli n’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama okusinga bonna abaamusooka.
And Ahab, the son of Omri, did evil in the sight of the Lord, beyond all who had been before him.
31 Teyakoma ku kukola bibi bya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, naye era n’awasa ne Yezeberi muwala wa Esubaali kabaka w’Abasidoni, era n’atandika okuweereza n’okusinza Baali.
And it was not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. In addition, he took as a wife Jezebel, the daughter of Eth-baal, the king of the Sidonians. And he went astray, and he served Baal, and adored him.
32 Yazimbira Baali ekyoto mu ssabo lya Baali lye yazimba mu Samaliya.
And he set up an altar for Baal, in the temple of Baal, which he had built at Samaria.
33 Akabu n’akola n’empagi ya Baaseri, ne yeeyongera nnyo okusunguwaza Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, okusinga bakabaka abalala bonna aba Isirayiri abaamusooka.
And he planted a sacred grove. And Ahab added to his works, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, beyond all the kings of Israel who had been before him.
34 Ku mirembe gya Akabu, Kyeri Omubeseri n’addaabiriza era n’azimba Yeriko. Era olw’ekigambo kya Mukama kye yayogerera mu Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni, Kyeri bwe yassaawo emisingi gyakyo, n’afiirwa Abiraamu mutabani we omukulu; bwe yazimba wankaaki waakyo, Segubi mutabani we asembayo obuto naye n’afa.
In his days, Hiel from Bethel built up Jericho. With Abiram, his firstborn, he founded it, and with Segub, his youngest son, he set up its gates, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of Joshua, the son of Nun.
