1 Bassekabaka 21

1 Awo ebyo bwe byaggwa, ne wabaawo ensonga ekwata ku nnimiro ya Nabosi Omuyezuleeri ey’emizabbibu, eyali eriraanye olubiri lwa Akabu kabaka wa Samaliya.

Na rĩrĩ, thuutha ũcio gũkĩgĩa na ũndũ wakoniĩ mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ wa Nabothu ũrĩa Mũjezireeli. Mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ warĩ kũu Jezireeli, hakuhĩ na nyũmba ya ũthamaki ya Ahabu mũthamaki wa Samaria.

2 Awo Akabu n’agamba Nabosi nti, “Mpa ennimiro yo ey’emizabbibu nnimiremu enva, nga bw’eriraanye olubiri lwange. Mu kifo kyayo nzija kukuwaamu ennimiro ey’emizabbibu endala, oba bw’onoosiima, nnaakusasulamu omuwendo ogugigyamu.”

Nake Ahabu akĩĩra Nabothu atĩrĩ, “He mũgũnda waku wa mĩthabibũ haandage mboga, tondũ ũrĩ hakuhĩ na nyũmba yakwa ya ũthamaki. Nĩngũgũkũũranĩria na mũgũnda ũngĩ wa mĩthabibũ mwega gũkĩra ũyũ, kana ũngĩona arĩ wega, no ngũhe mbeeca ciiganĩte thogora waguo.”

3 Nabosi n’amuddamu nti, “Kikafuuwe, nze okukuwa obusika bwa bajjajjange.”

No Nabothu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Jehova arogiria ngũhe igai rĩa maithe makwa.”

4 Awo Akabu n’addayo eka ng’annyogoze nnyo era nga munyiivu kubanga Nabosi Omuyezuleeri yamugamba nti, “Sijja kukuwa busika bwa bajjajjange.” N’agalamira ku kitanda kye nga yeesooza, n’agaana n’okulya.

Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ahabu akĩinũka athitĩtie gĩthiithi na arĩ mũrakaru, tondũ Nabothu ũrĩa Mũjezireeli nĩamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Ndingĩkũhe igai rĩa maithe makwa.” Agĩkoma ũrĩrĩ wake angʼathĩtie na akĩrega kũrĩa irio.

5 Naye Yezeberi mukazi we n’ayingira, n’amubuuza nti, “Lwaki onnyogoze nnyo bw’otyo n’okulya n’otalya?”

Nake Jezebeli mũtumia wake akĩingĩra akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũtukie gĩthiithi? Ũrarega kũrĩa irio nĩkĩ?”

6 N’amuddamu nti, “Kubanga ŋŋambye Nabosi Omuyezuleeri antunze ennimiro ye ey’emizabbibu, oba bw’anaasiima muwaanyiseemu ennimiro endala. Naye agambye nti, ‘Sijja kukuwa nnimiro yange ey’emizabbibu.’”

Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ tondũ njĩĩrire Nabothu ũrĩa Mũjezireeli atĩrĩ, ‘Nyenderia mũgũnda waku wa mĩthabibũ, kana ũngĩona kwagĩrĩire, ngũhe mũgũnda ũngĩ wa mĩthabibũ handũ haguo.’ No anjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ndingĩkũhe mũgũnda wakwa wa mĩthabibũ.’”

7 Yezeberi mukazi we n’amugamba nti, “Bw’otyo bwe weeyisa nga kabaka wa Isirayiri? Golokoka olye! Ddamu amaanyi. Nzija kukufunira ennimiro ya Nabosi Omuyezuleeri ey’emizabbibu.”

Jezebeli mũtumia wake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũguo nĩguo ũgwĩka arĩ we mũthamaki wa Isiraeli? Ũkĩra ũrĩe! Kena. Nĩ niĩ ngũkũhe mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ wa Nabothu ũcio Mũjezireeli.”

8 Awo Yezeberi n’awandiika amabaluwa mu linnya lya Akabu, n’agassaako akabonero ke, era n’agaweereza eri abakadde n’abakungu abaabeeranga mu kibuga kya Nabosi.

Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩandĩka marũa na rĩĩtwa rĩa Ahabu, na akĩmahũũra mũhũũri wake, akĩmatũma kũrĩ athuuri na anene arĩa maatũũranagia na Nabothu itũũra-inĩ rĩake inene.

9 Mu bbaluwa ezo n’awandiika nti, “Mulangirire okusiiba, mutuuze Nabosi mu kifo abantu bonna we bamulengerera,

Marũa-inĩ macio aandĩkĩte ũũ: “Anĩrĩrai mũthenya wa kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio, na mũikarĩrie Nabothu handũ ekuoneka, gatagatĩ ka andũ.

10 era mutuuze abasajja babiri okumwolekera bamuwaayirize nti akolimidde Katonda ne kabaka. Oluvannyuma mumutwale ebweru mumukube amayinja, mumutte.”

No mũige imaramari igĩrĩ imũngʼetheire, mũciĩre irute ũira wa atĩ nĩarumĩte Ngai na akaruma mũthamaki. Mũcooke mũmuumie nja ya itũũra mũmũhũre na mahiga nyuguto nginya akue.”

11 Awo abakadde n’abakungu abaabeeranga mu kibuga ekyo ne bakola nga Yezeberi bwe yalagira mu mabaluwa ge yabawandiikira.

Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athuuri na anene arĩa maatũũraga itũũra-inĩ inene rĩa Nabothu magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jezebeli aathanĩte marũa-inĩ macio aamaandĩkĩire.

12 Ne balangirira okusiiba era ne batuuza Nabosi mu kifo w’alabikira obulungi mu bantu.

Makĩanĩrĩra mũthenya wa kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio, na magĩikarĩria Nabothu handũ ekuoneka, gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ.

13 Abasajja babiri ne bajja ne batuula okumwolekera ne bamuwaayiriza mu maaso g’abantu nga bagamba nti, “Nabosi yakolimidde Katonda ne kabaka.” Awo abantu ne bamutwala ebweru w’ekibuga ne bamukuba amayinja ne bamutta.

Ningĩ imaramari igĩrĩ igĩikara imũngʼetheire, na ikĩruta thitango ya gũũkĩrĩra Nabothu mbere ya andũ, ikiuga atĩrĩ, “Nabothu nĩarumĩte Ngai, na akaruma mũthamaki.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmuumia nja ya itũũra inene, makĩmũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto nginya agĩkua.

14 Ne batumira Yezeberi nti, “Nabosi akubiddwa amayinja era afudde.”

Magĩcooka magĩtwara ũhoro kũrĩ Jezebeli, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nabothu nĩmũhũũre na mahiga nyuguto na nĩ mũkuũ.”

15 Amangwago Yezeberi bwe yawulira nti Nabosi yakubibwa amayinja era n’afa, n’agamba Akabu nti, “Golokoka otwale ennimiro ey’emizabbibu eya Nabosi Omuyezuleeri gye yagaana okukuguza, kubanga takyali mulamu, mufu.”

Jezebeli aarĩkia kũigua atĩ Nabothu nĩahũrĩtwo na mahiga nyuguto agakua-rĩ, akĩĩra Ahabu atĩrĩ “Ũkĩra wĩgwatĩre mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ wa Nabothu ũrĩa Mũjezireeli ũcio araregete gũkwenderia. Ndarĩ muoyo, nĩakuĩte.”

16 Akabu bwe yawulira nti Nabosi afudde n’agolokoka n’aserengeta okutwala ennimiro ya Nabosi Omuyezuleeri ey’emizabbibu.

Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Ahabu aiguire atĩ Nabothu nĩakuĩte, agĩũkĩra, agĩikũrũka akegwatĩre mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ wa Nabothu.

17 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Eriya Omutisubi nti,

Na rĩrĩ, kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinyĩra Elija ũrĩa Mũtishibi akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,

18 “Serengeta eri Akabu kabaka wa Isirayiri afugira mu Samaliya, kubanga laba ali mu nnimiro ey’emizabbibu eya Nabosi era agenze okugitwala.

“Ikũrũka ũgatũnge Ahabu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa wathanaga Samaria. Rĩu arĩ mũgũnda-inĩ wa mĩthabibũ wa Nabothu kũrĩa athiĩte kwĩgwatĩra mũgũnda ũcio ũtuĩke wake.

19 Mugambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Tosse omusajja n’okutwala n’otwala obugagga bwe?’ Olyoke omugambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti: Mu kifo embwa wezikombedde omusaayi gwa Nabosi, embwa mwezirikombera ogugwo.’”

Mwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Githĩ ndũũragĩte mũndũ na ũkaamũtunya indo ciake?’ Ningĩ ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Handũ harĩa ngui iracũnĩire thakame ya Nabothu-rĩ, hau no ho ngui igaacũnĩra thakame yaku, ĩĩ, yaku wee mwene!’”

20 Akabu n’agamba Eriya nti, “Onsanze, ggwe omulabe wange!” N’amuddamu nti, “Nkusanze, kubanga weewaddeyo okukola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama.

Nake Ahabu akĩĩra Elija atĩrĩ, “Wee thũ yakwa, anga nĩwangora!” Nake Elija agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩndagũkora, tondũ nĩwĩrutĩire gwĩka ũũru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.

21 Mukama agamba nti, ‘Laba ndikuleetako akabi, ndimalawo ennyumba yo yonna, era ndiggya ku Akabu buli musajja yenna mu Isirayiri, omuddu n’atali muddu.

‘Na rĩrĩ, nĩngũkũrehere mwanangĩko. Nĩngũniina njiaro ciaku, na niinĩre Ahabu ciana ciothe cia arũme thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, arĩ ngombo kana ũrĩa ũtarĩ ngombo.

22 Ndifuula ennyumba yo okuba nga eya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, n’eya Baasa mutabani wa Akiya, olw’okusunguwaza kwe wansunguwaza bwe wayonoonyesa Isirayiri.’

Nĩngatũma nyũmba yaku ĩhaane o ta ya Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati, na ta ya Baasha mũrũ wa Ahija, tondũ nĩũndakarĩtie na ũgatũma Isiraeli mehie.’

23 “Ate era n’eri Yezeberi Mukama bw’ati bw’agamba nti, ‘Embwa ziririira Yezeberi okuliraana bbugwe w’e Yezuleeri.

“Naguo ũhoro ũkoniĩ Jezebeli, Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Ngui nĩigatambuurangĩra Jezebeli rũthingo-inĩ rwa Jezireeli.’

24 Embwa ziririira omuntu yenna owa Akabu alifiira mu kibuga, ate ennyonyi zirye abo bonna abalifiira ku ttale.’”

“Andũ a Ahabu arĩa magaakuĩra itũũra-inĩ, makaarĩĩo nĩ ngui. Nao arĩa magaakuĩra mĩgũnda-inĩ makaarĩĩo nĩ nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ.”

25 Tewali musajja eyafaanana nga Akabu, eyeewaayo okukola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama ng’awalirizibwa mukazi we Yezeberi.

(Na rĩrĩ, gũtirĩ kuoneka mũndũ ta Ahabu werutĩire gwĩka ũũru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, aringĩrĩirio nĩ mũtumia wake Jezebeli.

26 Yakola eby’ekivve ng’agoberera ebifaananyi bya bakatonda, ng’Abamoli be yagoba mu maaso g’abantu ba Isirayiri bwe baakolanga.

Mĩtugo yake yarĩ mĩũru mũno nĩ ũndũ wa kũrũmĩrĩra mĩhianano ya kũhooywo ta ũrĩa Aamori meekaga, arĩa Jehova aingatire akĩmeheria mbere ya Isiraeli.)

27 Awo Akabu bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyo, n’ayuza engoye ze, n’ayambala ebibukutu n’okusiiba n’asiiba. N’agalamira mu bibukutu, era n’atambula nga yeewombeese.

Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Ahabu aiguire ciugo icio, agĩtarũranga nguo ciake, akĩĩhumba nguo ya ikũnia na akĩĩhinga kũrĩa irio. Aakomaga ehumbĩte nguo ya ikũnia na agathiiaga enyiihĩtie.

28 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Eriya Omutisubi nti,

Hĩndĩ ĩyo kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinyĩra Elija ũrĩa Mũtishibi, akĩũrio atĩrĩ:

29 “Olabye Akabu bwe yeewombeese mu maaso gange? Olw’okubanga yeewombeese mu maaso gange, sirireeta kabi ako mu mirembe gye, naye ndikaleeta mu nnyumba ye mu mirembe gya mutabani we.”

“Nĩwonete ũrĩa Ahabu enyiihĩtie mbere yakwa? Tondũ we nĩenyiihĩtie, ndikarehe mwanangĩko ũyũ matukũ-inĩ make, no nĩngaũrehere nyũmba yake matukũ-inĩ ma mũriũ.”
