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.
Then the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, the youngest son of Jehoram, king in his place, since the raiders who had come into the camp with the Arabs had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.
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 became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri.
3 Ne Akaziya n’atambulira mu makubo ag’ennyumba ya Akabu, kubanga nnyina yamupikirizanga okukola ebibi.
Ahaziah also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in wickedness.
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 evil in the sight of the LORD, as the house of Ahab had done, for to his destruction they were his counselors after the death of his father.
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
Ahaziah also followed their counsel and went with Joram son of Ahab king of Israel to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. But the Arameans 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.
so he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds they had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.
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.
Ahaziah’s downfall came from God when he went to visit Joram. When Ahaziah arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to destroy 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.
So while Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, he found the rulers of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers who were serving Ahaziah, and he 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.
Then Jehu looked for Ahaziah, and Jehu’s soldiers captured him while he was hiding in Samaria. So Ahaziah was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” So no one was left from the house of Ahaziah with the strength to rule 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.
When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs 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 daughter of King Jehoram took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered, and she put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Because Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram and the wife of Jehoiada the priest, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid Joash from Athaliah so that she could not kill him.
12 Omwana n’akwekebwa okumala emyaka mukaaga mu nnyumba ya Katonda, nga Asaliya y’afuga ensi.
And Joash remained hidden with them in the house of God for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
