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.
The people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, Jehoram's youngest son, king in succession to his father, since the invaders who had entered the camp with the Arabians 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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for 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 followed the evil ways of the family of Ahab, for his mother encouraged him to do wicked things.
4 N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’ennyumba ya Akabu bwe yakola, kubanga oluvannyuma olw’okufa kwa kitaawe be baamuwabyanga, okukola ebikyamu.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as the family of Ahab had done. For after his father's death they were his counselors, to his ruin.
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 also followed their advice in joining with Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, in attacking Hazael, king of Aram, in Ramoth Gilead. 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.
and he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he'd received in Ramah fighting against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went to Jezreel to visit Joram, son of Ahab, because Joram was 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.
Azariah's downfall came from God when he went to see Joram. When Azariah got there, he went with Joram to meet Jehu, son of Nimri. The Lord had anointed Jehu to destroy Ahab and his family.
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.
While Jehu was carrying out judgment on the family of Ahab, he came across the leaders of Judah and Azariah's relatives who were assisting 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 went looking for Ahaziah. His men found him in Samaria and captured him, and took him to Jehu where they killed him. They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who was completely committed to following the Lord.” There was no one left from Ahaziah's family 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 Ahaziah's mother found out that her son was dead, she proceeded to kill all who remained of the royal family 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, grabbed Joash, son of Ahaziah, and took him from the sons of the king who were about to be killed, and she placed 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 she couldn't kill him.
12 Omwana n’akwekebwa okumala emyaka mukaaga mu nnyumba ya Katonda, nga Asaliya y’afuga ensi.
And they kept Joash hidden with them in God's Temple for six years while Athaliah ruled the country.
