2 Ebyomumirembe 23
1 Naye mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu Yekoyaada n’alaga obuyinza bwe. N’akola endagaano n’abaduumizi ab’ebibinja eby’ekikumi, era baali Azaliya mutabani wa Yekokamu, ne Isimayiri mutabani wa Yekokanani, ne Azaliya mutabani wa Obedi, ne Maaseya mutabani wa Adaya, ne Erisafaati mutabani wa Zikuli.
Atalia dii adeɛ mfeɛ nson no, ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛyɛ biribi. Ɔsii ne bo ne asahene baanum, a wɔn ne Yeroham babarima Asaria, Yehohanan babarima Ismael, Obed babarima Asaria, Adaia babarima Maaseia ne Sikri babarima Elisafat yɛɛ apam.
2 Ne bagenda mu Yuda yonna ne bakuŋŋaanya Abaleevi n’abakulembeze b’ennyumba za bajjajja ba Isirayiri okuva mu bibuga byonna ebya Yuda ne bajja e Yerusaalemi.
Saa mmarima yi faa esum ase, kyinii Yuda nyinaa, frɛfrɛɛ Lewifoɔ ne mmusua ntuanofoɔ a wɔwɔ Yuda nkuro so sɛ, wɔmmra Yerusalem.
3 Ekibiina kyonna ne bakola endagaano ne kabaka mu yeekaalu ya Katonda. Awo Yekoyaada n’abagamba nti, “Mutabani wa kabaka y’alifuga, nga Mukama bwe yasuubiza bazzukulu ba Dawudi.
Wɔn nyinaa hyiaa wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu ne ɔhenberanteɛ Yoas yɛɛ apam. Yehoiada ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛberɛ aduru sɛ ɔhene babarima di adeɛ. Awurade ahyɛ bɔ sɛ, Dawid aseni na ɔbɛyɛ yɛn ɔhene.
4 Era bwe muti bwe munaakola: kimu kya kusatu ku mmwe bakabona n’Abaleevi abanaaberanga ku luwalo ku ssabbiiti munaakuumanga wankaaki,
Deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ nie: Sɛ asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ ba adwuma Homeda a, wɔn mu nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako na wɔbɛyɛ apono ano ahwɛfoɔ.
5 ate kimu kya kusatu ekirala munaakuumanga olubiri lwa kabaka, n’ekimu kya kusatu ekirala munaakuumanga Omulyango ogw’Omusingi, n’abantu abalala bonna banaabeeranga mu luggya olwa yeekaalu ya Mukama.
Nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako nso bɛkɔ ahemfie, na nkyɛmu mmiɛnsa mu baako a aka no akɔ Fapem Ɛpono no ano. Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn a aka no nyinaa tenatena Awurade Asɔredan adihɔ ahodoɔ hɔ.
6 Tewabanga n’omu ayingira mu yeekaalu ya Mukama wabula bakabona, n’Abaleevi abanaabeeranga mu luwalo; abo banaayingiranga kubanga batukuvu, naye abantu abalala bonna banaagobereranga ekyo Mukama kye yalagira.
Monkae sɛ, asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ a wɔwɔ wɔn nnwuma so nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyɛne Awurade Asɔredan no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn na wɔayi wɔn asi hɔ sɛ wɔyɛ kronkron. Ɛsɛ sɛ nnipa a aka no di Awurade mmara so, na wɔtenatena afikyire.
7 Abaleevi banaayimiriranga okwetooloola kabaka, buli omu ku bo ng’akutte ebyokulwanyisa bye mu mukono gwe, na buli anaayingiranga mu yeekaalu wa kuttibwa. Mubeere kumpi nnyo ne kabaka, buli gy’anaalaganga.”
Mo Lewifoɔ na mobɛbɔ ɔhene ho ban, na mobɛkurakura mo akodeɛ. Sɛ obiara a ɔnni ho kwan wura Asɔredan no mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no. Ɛberɛ biara, mommɛn ɔhene no pɛɛ.”
8 Abaleevi n’abantu bonna aba Yuda ne bakola nga Yekoyaada kabona bwe yalagira. Buli omu ku bo n’atwala abasajja be, abo abaali mu luwalo ku Ssabbiiti, wamu n’abo abaali bamaliriza olwabwe, kubanga Yekoyaada kabona yali tannabagaba mu mpalo.
Enti, Lewifoɔ no ne nnipa no yɛɛ biribiara a ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada hyɛɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ. Asahene no hwɛɛ wɔn a wɔkɔ adwuma saa Homeda no ne wɔn a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔgye wɔn ahome da no so. Ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada amma obiara ankɔ fie.
9 N’awa abaduumizi ab’ekikumi amafumu, n’engabo ennene, n’engabo entono, ebyali ebya Kabaka Dawudi, ebyabeeranga mu yeekaalu ya Katonda.
Na Yehoiada de mpea ne akokyɛm a na ɛyɛ Ɔhene Dawid dea na wɔkoraa wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan mu no maa asahene no.
10 Era n’ateekateeka buli musajja okuba omukuumi wa kabaka, nga buli omu ku bo akutte ekyokulwanyisa mu mukono gwe, nga beetoolodde kabaka, n’okwetooloola ekyoto ne yeekaalu, okuva mu bukiikaddyo, okutuuka ku bukiikakkono obwa yeekaalu.
Ɔde awɛmfoɔ no twaa ɔhene no ho hyiaeɛ a wɔayɛ wɔn akodeɛ krado. Wɔgyinagyinaa saa so wɔ Asɔredan no anafoɔ fam, twaa hɔ kɔɔ atifi fam, twaa afɔrebukyia no ho nyinaa hyiaeɛ.
11 Awo Yekoyaada ne batabani be ne bafulumya mutabani wa kabaka ne bamutikkira engule ey’obwakabaka, ne bakola endagaano, era ne bamulangirira okuba kabaka. Ne bamufukako amafuta, ne boogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Wangaala kabaka!”
Afei, Yehoiada ne ne mmammarima yii ɔhene babarima Yoas baeɛ, na wɔde ahenkyɛ no hyɛɛ no. Wɔmaa Yoas Onyankopɔn mmara nwoma no bi daa no adi sɛ ɔhene. Wɔsraa no ngo, maa obiara teaam sɛ, “Ɔhene nkwa so!”
12 Naye Asaliya bwe yawulira oluyoogaano lw’abantu nga badduka era nga batendereza kabaka, n’agenda gye bali mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
Ɛberɛ a Atalia tee gyegyeegye a ɔmanfoɔ reyɛ, na wɔretutu mmirika, na wɔrekamfo ɔhene no, ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ Awurade asɔredan mu hɔ, kɔhwɛɛ asɛm korɔ a asi.
13 N’atunula, laba, kabaka ng’ayimiridde okuliraana empagi ye ku mulyango, n’abakungu n’abafuuwa amakondeere nga bayimiridde okumwetooloola, era nga n’abantu bonna ab’ensi nga basanyuka nga bafuuwa n’amakondeere, n’abayimbi nga bakutte ebivuga byabwe nga bakulembedde okujaguza. Awo Asaliya n’ayuza ebyambalo bye, n’aleekaanira waggulu nti, “Bujeemu! Bujeemu!”
Na ɔhunuu sɛ ɔhene foforɔ no gyina nʼafa baabi wɔ afadum no ho wɔ Asɔredan no kwan ano a ɛkyerɛ ne tumi. Na mpanimfoɔ ne totorobɛntohyɛnfoɔ atwa ne ho ahyia, ama nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa regye wɔn ani, rehyɛn ntotorobɛnto. Nnwontofoɔ a wɔnam nnwontodeɛ so bɔɔ nnwom de dii ɔmanfoɔ no anim ahokeka so. Ɛberɛ a Atalia hunuu yei no, ɔde ahometeɛ sunsuanee ne ntadeɛ mu teateaam sɛ, “Amammɔeɛsɛm! Amammɔeɛsɛm!”
14 Yekoyaada kabona n’atuma abaduumizi ab’ebibinja eby’ekikumi, abaavunaanyizibwanga eggye, n’abagamba nti, “Mumufulumye mumuteeke wakati w’enyiriri, mutte n’ekitala omuntu yenna anaamugoberera.” Kabona yali ayogedde nti, “Temumuttira mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.”
Na ɔsɔfoɔ Yehoiada hyɛɛ asafohene a wɔhwɛ akodɔm no so no sɛ, “Montwe no mfiri Asɔredan mu ha, na obiara a ɔbɛyɛ sɛ ɔregye no no, monkum no. Nanso, monnkum no wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu ha.”
15 Bwe yali ng’anaatera okutuuka ku mulyango ogw’embalaasi mu luggya olwokubiri, ne bamukwata ne bamuttira eyo.
Enti, wɔtwee no de no kɔɔ ɛkwan a apɔnkɔ fa so ba ahemfie hɔ so, kumm no hɔ.
16 Awo Yekoyaada n’akola endagaano wakati we n’abantu bonna era ne kabaka, nti baliba bantu ba Mukama.
Na Yehoiada ne ɔhene no ne ɔmanfoɔ no yɛɛ apam sɛ, wɔbɛyɛ Awurade nkurɔfoɔ.
17 Abantu bonna ne bagenda mu ssabo lya Baali ne balimenyaamenya, ne bamenyaamenya n’ebyoto bye n’ebifaananyi bye, era ne battira ne Matani kabona wa Baali mu maaso g’ebyoto bya Baali.
Na nnipa no nyinaa kɔɔ Baal asɔredan no mu, kɔbubu guiɛ. Wɔsɛee afɔrebukyia no, dwerɛɛ ohoni no, kumm Baal ɔsɔfoɔ Matan wɔ afɔrebukyia no anim.
18 Awo Yekoyaada n’assaawo abanaalabiriranga yeekaalu ya Mukama, era n’alonda bakabona n’Abaleevi Dawudi be yali awadde obuvunaanyizibwa obw’okuwangayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu mateeka ga Musa, nga bajaguza era nga bayimba, nga Dawudi bwe yalagira.
Yehoiada nam ahyɛdeɛ a Dawid ka too hɔ so, de Lewifoɔ asɔfoɔ sisii Awurade Asɔredan no dwumadie ahodoɔ no ano. Ɔhyɛɛ nso sɛ, wɔmmɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade, sɛdeɛ Mose mmara kyerɛ no, na wɔnto nnwom nsɛpɛ wɔn ho, sɛdeɛ Dawid ahyɛ no.
19 N’ateeka n’abaggazi ku wankaaki za yeekaalu ya Mukama, waleme okubaawo omuntu yenna atali mulongoofu ayingira.
Ɔde apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no sisii Awurade Asɔredan apono ano, sɛdeɛ wɔremma wɔn a wɔn ho nte no nkɔ mu.
20 N’agenda n’abaduumizi ab’ekikumi, n’abakungu, n’abafuzi b’abantu, n’abantu bonna ab’eggwanga, ne baggya kabaka mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ne bayita mu wankaaki ow’ekyengulu ne balaga mu lubiri lwa kabaka. Ne batuuza kabaka ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka.
Afei, asahene, atitire, ntuanofoɔ ne ɔmanfoɔ nyinaa dii ɔhene no akyi, de no pue firii Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ. Wɔfaa atifi fam ɛpono no ano, wuraa ahemfie hɔ, de ɔhene no kɔtenaa adehyeɛ ahennwa no so.
21 Abantu bonna ab’ensi ne bajaguza, n’ekibuga ne kitereera, kubanga Asaliya yali attiddwa n’ekitala.
Enti, nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa dii ahurisie, na asomdwoeɛ baa ɔman no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔakum Atalia.
