2 Ebyomumirembe 21
1 Awo Yekosafaati ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi; Yekolaamu mutabani we n’amusikira.
And Jehoshaphat lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of David, and Jehoram his son reigneth in his stead.
2 Yekolaamu yalina baganda be, batabani ba Yekosafaati, nga be ba Azaliya, ne Yekyeri, ne Zekkaliya, ne Azaliya, ne Mikayiri ne Sefatiya. Abo bonna bali baana ba Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda.
And he hath brethren, sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah; all these [are] sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel,
3 Kitaabwe yabawa eby’obugagga bingi, ebya ffeeza ne zaabu, n’ebintu eby’omuwendo ebirala, wamu n’ebibuga ebiriko bbugwe mu Yuda, naye obwakabaka n’abuwa Yekolaamu kubanga ye yali omuggulanda.
and their father giveth to them many gifts of silver and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah, and the kingdom he hath given to Jehoram, for He [is] the first-born.
4 Awo Yekolaamu bwe yamala okwenywereza ddala ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka, n’atta baganda be bonna n’ekitala, era n’abakungu abamu aba Isirayiri.
And Jehoram riseth up over the kingdom of his father, and strengtheneth himself, and slayeth all his brethren with the sword, and also — of the heads of Israel.
5 Yekolaamu yalina emyaka amakumi asatu mu ebiri we yafuukira kabaka, era n’afugira emyaka munaana mu Yerusaalemi.
A son of thirty and two years [is] Jehoram in his reigning, and eight years he hath reigned in Jerusalem,
6 N’atambulira mu makubo ga bakabaka ba Isirayiri, ng’ennyumba ya Akabu bwe yakolanga, era n’okuwasa n’awasa muwala wa Akabu. N’akola eby’ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama.
and he walketh in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for a daughter of Ahab hath been to him for a wife, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah,
7 Newaakubadde ng’ebyo byonna byali bwe bityo, Mukama teyayagala kusaanyaawo nnyumba ya Dawudi, kubanga yali akoze endagaano ne Dawudi, ate ng’asuubizza okukuuma ettabaaza ye n’eya bazzukulu be ng’eyaka emirembe gyonna.
and Jehovah hath not been willing to destroy the house of David, for the sake of the covenant that He made with David, and as He had said to give to him a lamp, and to his sons — all the days.
8 Mu biro bya Yekolaamu Edomu n’ajeemera okufuga kwa Yuda ne beeteekerawo kabaka owaabwe.
In his days hath Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and cause a king to reign over them;
9 Awo Yekolaamu n’agendayo n’abakungu be n’amagaali ge gonna. Abayedomu ne bamutaayiza ye n’abaduumizi ab’amagaali ge mu kiro, naye n’abagolokokerako n’abakuba.
and Jehoram passeth over with his heads, and all the chariots with him, and it cometh to pass, he hath risen by night and smiteth the Edomites who are coming round against him, and the princes of the chariots,
10 Okuva ku olwo Edomu ne bajeemera Yuda n’okutuusa leero. Mu kiseera ekyo Libuna naye ne n’amujeemera, kubanga Yekolaamu yali avudde ku Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabe.
and Edom revolteth from under the hand of Judah unto this day; then doth Libnah revolt at that time from under his hand, because he hath forsaken Jehovah, God of his fathers,
11 Yali azimbye n’ebifo ebigulumivu ku nsozi za Yuda, era ng’aleetedde n’abatuuze ba Yerusaalemi obutaba beesigwa, nga ne Yuda bawabye.
also, he hath made high places in the mountains of Judah, and causeth the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit whoredom, and compelleth Judah.
12 Yekolaamu n’afuna ebbaluwa okuva eri Eriya nnabbi ng’egamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wa jjajjaawo Dawudi nti, ‘Olw’obutatambulira mu makubo ga kitaawo Yekosafaati, wadde mu makubo ga Asa kabaka wa Yuda,
And there cometh in unto him a writing from Elijah the prophet, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, Because that thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, and in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
13 naye n’otambulira mu kkubo lya bakabaka ba Isirayiri, n’oleetera Yuda n’abantu b’e Yerusaalemi obutaba beesigwa, ng’ennyumba ya Akabu bwe yakola, era n’otta ne baganda bo ab’ennyumba ya kitaawo, abaali bakusinga empisa,
and thou dost walk in the way of the kings of Israel, and dost cause Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit whoredom like the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also thy brethren, the house of thy father, who are better than thyself, thou hast slain;
14 Mukama kyaliva aleeta kawumpuli ow’amaanyi, ku bantu bo, n’abaana bo, n’abakyala bo, ne ku bintu byo byonna,
lo, Jehovah is smiting — a great smiting — among thy people, and among thy sons, and among thy wives, and among all thy goods —
15 ate naawe olirwala obulwadde obw’amaanyi mu lubuto, erireetera ebyenda byo okuvaayo, buli lunaku.’”
and thou, with many sicknesses, with disease of thy bowels, till thy bowels come out, by the sickness, day by day.'
16 Awo Mukama n’asitusa obusungu bw’Abafirisuuti n’Abawalabu abaabeeranga okumpi n’Abaesiyopiya eri Yekolaamu,
And Jehovah waketh up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who [are] beside the Cushim,
17 ne balumba Yuda, ne bakiwangula, ne batwala ebintu byonna ebyali mu lubiri lwa kabaka, ne batabani be, ne bakazi be, ne wataba mutabani we n’omu eyalekebwa okuggyako Yekoyakaazi, omuggalanda.
and they come up into Judah, and rend it, and take captive all the substance that is found at the house of the king, and also his sons, and his wives, and there hath not been left to him a son except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.
18 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo byonna, Mukama n’aleetako Yekolaamu obulwadde obutawonyezeka obw’omu lubuto.
And after all this hath Jehovah plagued him in his bowels by a disease for which there is no healing,
19 Awo ebiro bwe byayitawo, nga wayiseewo emyaka ebiri, ebyenda bye ne bitanula okumuvaamu, olw’obulwadde, n’afa mu bulumi bungi. Abantu be ne batamukumira lumbe, nga bwe baali bakoledde bajjajjaabe.
and it cometh to pass, from days to days, and at the time of the going out of the end of two years, his bowels have gone out with his sickness, and he dieth of sore diseases, and his people have not made for him a burning like the burning of his fathers.
20 Yekolaamu yali wa myaka amakumi asatu mu ebiri bwe yatandika okuba kabaka, era n’afugira mu Yerusaalemi emyaka munaana. Okufa kwe tekwaleetera muntu n’omu kwejjusa, n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi naye si ku biggya bya bassekabaka.
A son of thirty and two [years] was he in his reigning, and eight years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he goeth without desire, and they bury him in the city of David, and not in the graves of the kings.
