2 Ebyomumirembe 19
1 Awo Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda n’akomawo mirembe mu lubiri lwe mu Yerusaalemi.
Forsothe Josaphat, kyng of Juda, turnede ayen pesibli in to his hows in to Jerusalem.
2 Yeeku, Omulabi, mutabani wa Kanani n’agenda okumusisinkana, n’agamba Yekosafaati nti, “Kituufu ggwe okuyamba ababi, ate n’okukolagana n’abo abakyawa Mukama? Olw’ekikolwa ekyo, obusungu bwa Mukama kyebuvudde bukubuubukirako.
Whom the profete Hieu, the sone of Ananye, mette, and seide to hym, Thou yyuest help to a wickid man, and thou art ioyned bi frendschip to hem that haten the Lord; and therfor sotheli thou deseruedist the wraththe of the Lord;
3 Kyokka mu ggwe mulimu ebirungi, kubanga wazikiriza Baaserosi n’obaggya mu nsi, n’omalirira mu mutima gwo okunoonya Katonda.”
but good werkis ben foundyn in thee, for thou didist awey wodis fro the lond of Juda, and thou hast maad redi thin herte, for to seke the Lord God of thi fadris.
4 Awo Yekosafaati n’abeeranga mu Yerusaalemi, n’addayo eri abantu okuva e Beeruseba okutuuka mu Efulayimu mu nsi ey’ensozi, bonna n’abakomyawo eri Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe.
Therfor Josaphat dwellide in Jerusalem; and eft he yede out to the puple fro Bersabee til to the hil of Effraym, and he clepide hem ayen to the Lord God of her fadris.
5 N’alonda abalamuzi mu nsi, ne mu buli kibuga kya Yuda ekiriko Bbugwe.
And he ordeynede iugis of the lond in alle the strengthid citees of Juda, bi ech place.
6 N’abategeeza nti, “Mufumiitirize nnyo ku bye mukola, kubanga temulamula ku bw’abantu wabula ku bwa Mukama, abeera nammwe buli bwe musala omusango.
And he comaundide to the iugis, and seide, Se ye, what ye doen; for ye vsen not the doom of man, but of the Lord; and what euere thing ye demen, schal turne `in to you;
7 Noolwekyo entiisa ya Mukama ebeere mu mmwe, musale omusango nga mugwekanyizza bulungi, kubanga Mukama Katonda waffe takkiriziganya na butali butuukirivu, era tewali kusosola mu bantu wadde okulya enguzi.”
the drede of the Lord be with you, and do ye alle thingis with diligence; for anentis `youre Lord God is no wickidnesse, nether takynge of persoones, nether coueitise of yiftis.
8 Ate ne mu Yerusaalemi Yekosafaati yalonda abamu ku Baleevi, ne bakabona, n’emitwe gy’ennyumba za Isirayiri okulamulanga ku bwa Mukama, n’okusalangawo ensonga enzibu.
Also in Jerusalem Josaphat ordeynede dekenes, and preestis, and the princes of meynees of Israel, that thei schulden deme the doom and cause of the Lord to the dwellers of it.
9 N’abakuutira ng’agamba nti, “Mukole nga mutya Mukama, n’obwesigwa era n’omutima gumu.
And he comaundide to hem, and seide, Thus ye schulen do in the drede of the Lord, feithfuli and in perfite herte.
10 Bwe wanaabangawo ensonga evudde eri baganda bammwe okuva mu bibuga byabwe, ng’ekwata ku kuyiwa omusaayi, oba ku nsonga endala yonna ekwata ku kiragiro, ku mateeka oba ku biragiro, munaabalabulanga obutayonoona Mukama, obusungu bwe muleme okubatuukako mmwe ne baganda bammwe. Bwe mutyo bwe munaakolanga muleme okubaako omusango.
Ech cause that cometh to you of youre britheren, that dwellen in her citees, bitwixe kynrede and kynrede, where euere is questioun of the lawe, of `the comaundement, of cerymonyes, `ether sacrifices, of iustifyingis, schewe ye to hem, that thei do not synne ayens the Lord, and that wraththe com not on you and on youre britheren. Therfor ye doynge thus schulen not do synne.
11 “Era Amaliya kabona asinga obukulu y’anaababeerangako n’obuvunaanyizibwa mu nsonga zonna eza Mukama, ate Zebadiya mutabani wa Isimayiri omukulu ow’ekika kya Yuda ye n’avunaanyizibwanga mu nsonga zonna eza kabaka, era n’Abaleevi banaaweerezanga ng’abaami mu maaso gammwe. Mube n’obuvumu, era Mukama abeere n’abo abakola obutuukirivu.”
Forsothe Amarie, youre preest and bischop, schal be souereyn in these thingis, that perteynen to God. Sotheli Zabadie, the sone of Ismael, which is duyk in the hows of Juda, schal be on tho werkis that perteynen to the office of the kyng, and ye han maistris dekenes bifor you; be ye coumfortid, and do ye diligentli, and the Lord schal be with you in goodis.
