1 Bassekabaka 16
1 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeeku mutabani wa Kanani nga kyogera ku Baasa nti,
Then came the word of the Lord to Jehu the son of Chanani against Ba'sha, 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.
Forasmuch as I lifted thee up out of the dust, and I set thee as prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jerobo'am, and hast induced my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins:
3 Laba, ndisaanyizaawo ddala Baasa n’ennyumba ye, era ndifuula ennyumba ye okuba ng’eya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati.
Behold, I will sweep out after Ba'sha, and after his house; and I will render thy house like the house of Jerobo'am 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.”
Him that dieth of Ba'sha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the field shall the fowls of the heavens eat.
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?
And the rest of the acts of Ba'sha, and what he did, and his mighty deeds, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles 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.
And Ba'sha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Thirzah: and Elah his son became king in his stead.
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 also by the hand of Jehu the son of Chanani, the prophet, came the word of the Lord against Ba'sha, and against his house, both for all the evil that he did in the eyes of the Lord, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, thus being like the house of Jerobo'am; and because he had killed him.
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 and sixth year of Assa the king of Judah became Elah the son of Ba'sha king over Israel in Thirzah, [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 there conspired against him his servant Zimri, captain of half the chariots, as he was in Thirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was set over the house in Thirzah.
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.
And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Assa the king of Judah, and became king in his stead.
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 it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Ba'sha: he left him not a single male, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of 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,
Thus did Zimri exterminate all the house of Ba'sha, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken against Ba'sha by the agency of Jehu the prophet,
13 olw’ebibi bya Baasa ne mutabani we Era bye baakola n’okwonoonyesa Isirayiri, nga basunguwaza Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri olwa bakatonda beebeekolera abatagasa.
For all the sins of Ba'sha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they had sinned, and by which they had induced Israel to sin, to provoke the Lord the God of Israel to anger 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?
Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles 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 and seventh year of Assa the king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Thirzah: and the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to 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 the people that were encamped heard it said, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: all Israel made 'Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel on that day in the camp.
17 Omuli n’Abayisirayiri bonna abaali awamu naye ne bava e Gibbesoni ne bambuka okuzingiza Tiruza.
And 'Omri went up, and all Israel with him from Gibbethon, and they besieged Thirzah.
18 Zimuli bwe yalaba ng’ekibuga kiwambiddwa, n’addukira mu lubiri olw’omunda, olubiri lwonna n’alukumako omuliro. N’afiira omwo.
And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was captured, that he went into the strong-hold of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, 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.
For his sins which he had sinned, in doing what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to walk in the way of Jerobo'am, and in his sin which he did, to induce Israel to sin.
20 Eby’afaayo ebirala eby’omu mirembe gya Zimuli, n’obujeemu bwe, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
And the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his conspiracy that he contrived, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles 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.
At that time were the people of Israel divided into two parts: one half of the people followed Thibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and the other half 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 that followed 'Omri prevailed against the people that followed Thibni the son of Ginath: and Thibni [also] died, and 'Omri became king.
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 and first year of Assa the king of Judah became 'Omri king over Israel, [for] twelve years; in Thirzah he reigned six years.
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 Samaria, of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the mount, and called the name of the city which he had built, after the name of Shemer, the Lord of the mount, Samaria.
25 Naye Omuli n’akola ebyali ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, era n’ayonoona nnyo okusinga n’abo abaamusooka.
And 'Omri did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did worse than all that were 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 way of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he induced Israel to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger with 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 acts of 'Omri which he did, and his mighty deeds that he displayed, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles 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 was buried in Samaria: and Achab his son became king in his stead.
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.
And Achab the son of 'omri became king over Israel in the thirty and eighth year of Assa the king of Judah; and Achab the son of 'Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.
30 Akabu mutabani wa Omuli n’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama okusinga bonna abaamusooka.
And Achab the son of 'Omri did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord more than all that 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 came to pass, as if it had been too light a thing for him to walk in the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, that he took for wife Izebel the daughter of Ethba'al the king of the Zidonians, and went and served Ba'al, and worshipped him.
32 Yazimbira Baali ekyoto mu ssabo lya Baali lye yazimba mu Samaliya.
And he erected an altar for Ba'al in the house of Ba'al, which he had built in 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 Achab made a grove; and Achab did yet more, so as to provoke the Lord the God of Israel to anger, than all the kings of Israel that 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 did Chiel the Beth-elite build Jericho: with Abiram his first-born laid he the foundation thereof, and with Segub his youngest son set he up the gates thereof, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by means of Joshua the son of Nun.
