2 Ebyomumirembe 22
1 Abantu ab’omu Yerusaalemi ne bafuula Akaziya, mutabani wa Yekolaamu omuggalanda, kabaka, kubanga abasajja abanyazi abajja n’Abawalabu baali bamaze okutta abaana be bonna abakulu. Awo Akaziya mutabani wa Yekolaamu n’atandika okufuga Yuda.
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead, for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
2 Akaziya yalina emyaka amakumi ana mu ebiri bwe yatandika okufuga, era n’afugira omwaka gumu mu Yerusaalemi. Erinnya lya nnyina yali Asaliya, muzzukulu wa Omuli.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
3 Ne Akaziya n’atambulira mu makubo ag’ennyumba ya Akabu, kubanga nnyina yamupikirizanga okukola ebibi.
He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab. For his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.
4 N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’ennyumba ya Akabu bwe yakola, kubanga oluvannyuma olw’okufa kwa kitaawe be baamuwabyanga, okukola ebikyamu.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did the house of Ahab. For they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5 Era naye yagobereranga ebirowoozo byabwe, era n’agenda ne Yekolaamu, mutabani wa Akabu kabaka wa Isirayiri okutabaala Kazayeeri kabaka w’e Busuuli e Lamosugireyaadi. Abasuuli ne bafumita Yolaamu ebiwundu
He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram.
6 era n’addayo e Yezuleeri okujjanjabibwa ebiwundu bye yali afunidde e Laama, bwe yali ng’alwana ne Kazayeeri kabaka w’e Busuuli. Awo Akaziya mutabani wa Yekolaamu kabaka wa Yuda n’agenda okulaba ku Yolaamu mutabani wa Akabu olw’ebisago ebyali bimutuusibbwako.
And he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel because he was sick.
7 Naye kyali kyategekebwa Katonda, nti okugwa kwa Akaziya kulimutuukako ng’akyalidde Yolaamu. Awo Akaziya bwe yatuuka eyo, n’agenda ne Yolaamu okusisinkana Yeeku mutabani wa Nimusu, Mukama gwe yali afuseeko amafuta okuzikiriza ennyumba ya Akabu.
Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went to Joram, for when he came he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
8 Awo Yeeku bwe yali ng’asalira ennyumba ya Akabu omusango, n’asanga abakungu ba Yuda, ne batabani ba baganda ba Akaziya, abaaweerezanga Akaziya, n’abatta.
And it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, that he found the rulers of Judah, and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and killed them.
9 N’oluvannyuma n’anoonya Akaziya, era abasajja be ne bamuwambira e Samaliya gye yali yeekwese, n’aleetebwa ewa Yeeku n’attibwa. Ne bamuziika nga boogera nti, “Ono ye muzzukulu wa Yekosafaati, eyanoonya Mukama, n’omutima gwe gwonna.” Era mu nnyumba ya Akaziya ne wataba n’omu eyayinza okusikira obwakabaka.
And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria). And they brought him to Jehu, and killed him. And they buried him, for they said, He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart. And the house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.
10 Awo Asaliya, nnyina Akaziya bwe yalaba nga mutabani we afudde, n’asitula olutalo era n’azikiriza ennyumba yonna ey’obwakabaka bwa Yuda.
Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal seed of the house of Judah.
11 Naye Yekosabeyaasi, muwala wa kabaka Yekolaamu, n’abba Yowaasi mutabani wa Akaziya okuva mu balangira abaali bagenda okuttibwa, n’amukweka ye n’omukozi we mu kimu ku bisenge. Awo Yekosabeyaasi muwala wa kabaka Yekolaamu, ate nga ye yali mukyala wa Yekoyaada kabona, n’akweka omwana, Asaliya aleme okumutta. Yekosabeyaasi, yali mwannyina Akaziya.
But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she did not kill him.
12 Omwana n’akwekebwa okumala emyaka mukaaga mu nnyumba ya Katonda, nga Asaliya y’afuga ensi.
And he was with them hid in the house of God six years, and Athaliah reigned over the land.
