2 Ebyomumirembe 25

1 Amaziya yalina emyaka amakumi abiri mu etaano we yafuukira kabaka, era n’afugira emyaka amakumi abiri mu mwenda mu Yerusaalemi. Nnyina ye yali Yekoyadaani ow’e Yerusaalemi.

A son of twenty and five years hath Amaziah reigned, and twenty and nine years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem,

2 N’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, naye si na mutima ogutuukiridde.

and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah — only, not with a perfect heart.

3 Obwakabaka bwe bwanywezebwa mu buyinza bwe, n’atta abakungu abatta kabaka kitaawe.

And it cometh to pass, when the kingdom hath been strong upon him, that he slayeth his servants, those smiting the king his father,

4 Naye n’atatta baana baabwe, wabula n’akola ng’etteeka mu kitabo kya Musa, Mukama we yalagira nti, “Abazadde tebattibwenga olw’ekibi ky’abaana baabwe, so n’abaana tebattibwenga olw’ekibi ky’abazadde baabwe, naye buli muntu anaafanga olw’ekibi kye ye.”

and their sons he hath not put to death, but [did] as is written in the law, in the book of Moses, whom Jehovah commanded, saying, 'Fathers do not die for sons, and sons die not for fathers, but each for his own sin they die.'

5 Amaziya n’akuŋŋaanya abasajja ba Yuda, n’abategeka mu nnyiriri z’ennyumba zaabwe, nga baduumirwa ab’enkumi n’ab’ebikumi mu Yuda yonna ne mu Benyamini. N’oluvannyuma n’abala abo abaalina emyaka amakumi abiri n’okusingawo, ne baba abasajja emitwalo amakumi asatu, abaali basobola okugenda mu lutalo, era nga bayinza n’okukwata effumu n’ekitala.

And Amaziah gathereth Judah, and appointeth them, according to the house of the fathers, for heads of the thousands, and for heads of the hundreds, for all Judah and Benjamin; and he inspecteth them from a son of twenty years and upward, and findeth them three hundred thousand chosen ones, going forth to the host, holding spear and target.

6 Ate era n’agulayo n’abasajja abalala ab’amaanyi nga bazira emitwalo kkumi okuva mu Isirayiri, olwa ttani ssatu ne bisatu byakuna ebya ffeeza.

And he hireth out of Israel a hundred thousand mighty ones of valour, with a hundred talents of silver;

7 Naye ne wabaawo omusajja wa Katonda eyagenda gy’ali n’amugamba nti, “Ayi kabaka, tokkiriza eggye lya Isirayiri okugenda naawe, kubanga Mukama tali wamu ne Isirayiri, talina n’omu gwali naye ku bantu ba Efulayimu.

and a man of God hath come in unto him, saying, 'O king, the host of Israel doth not go with thee; for Jehovah is not with Israel — all the sons of Ephraim;

8 Ate ne bw’onoogenda ng’olowooza nti oli muzira nnyo mu ntalo, Katonda alikuwaayo mu maaso g’omulabe, kubanga Katonda alina obuyinza okuyamba, n’okulekerera.”

but if thou art going — do [it], be strong for battle, God doth cause thee to stumble before an enemy, for there is power in God to help, and to cause to stumble.'

9 Awo Amaziya n’abuuza omusajja wa Katonda nti, “Naye tunaakola tutya ku bya ttani esatu n’ebisatu byakuna ebya ffeeza ze nasasula eggye lya Isirayiri?” Omusajja wa Katonda n’addamu nti, “Mukama ayinziza ddala okukuwa n’ebisinga ku ebyo.”

And Amaziah saith to the man of God, 'And what — to do for the hundred talents that I have given to the troop of Israel?' And the man of God saith, 'Jehovah hath more to give to thee than this.'

10 Awo Amaziya n’alagira eggye eryali lizze gy’ali okuva mu Efulayimu okuddayo ewaabwe waalyo. Ne banyiigira nnyo Yuda, era ne baddayo ewaabwe nga banyiize nnyo.

And Amaziah separateth them — for the troop that hath come in unto him from Ephraim to go to their own place, and their anger doth burn mightily against Judah, and they turn back to their place in the heat of anger.

11 Amaziya ne yeefungiza, n’akulembera abantu be, n’agenda mu kiwonvu eky’omunnyo n’atta abasajja omutwalo gumu ab’e Seyiri.

And Amaziah hath strengthened himself, and leadeth his people, and goeth to the Valley of Salt, and smiteth the sons of Seir — ten thousand.

12 Eggye lya Yuda ne liwamba n’abasajja abalala omutwalo gumu nga balamu, ne babatwala waggulu ku lwazi, ne babasuula wansi okuva ku bbangabanga, ne basesebbuka ebifiififi.

And ten thousand alive have the sons of Judah taken captive, and they bring them to the top of the rock, and cast them from the top of the rock, and all of them have been broken.

13 Naye eggye liri Amaziya lye yasindika okuddayo, n’ataliganya kugenda naye mu lutalo; lyalumba ebibuga bya Yuda okuva e Samaliya okutuuka e Besukolooni, ne litta abantu enkumi ssatu ku bo, era ne litwala n’omunyago mungi.

And the sons of the troop that Amaziah hath sent back from going with him to battle — they rush against cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-Horon, and smite of them three thousand, and seize much prey.

14 Awo Amaziya bwe yakomawo ng’amaze okutta Abayedomu, n’aleeta bakatonda b’abantu ab’e Seyiri, n’abassaawo nga bakatonda be, n’abasinzanga, era n’abaweerangayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa.

And it cometh to pass, after the coming in of Amaziah from smiting the Edomites, that he bringeth in the gods of the sons of Seir, and establisheth them to him for gods, and before them doth bow himself, and to them he maketh perfume.

15 Obusungu bwa Mukama kyebwava bubuubuukira ku Amaziya, n’amuweereza nnabbi, eyamutegeeza nti, “Lwaki ogoberera bakatonda b’abantu, abataayinza kulokola bantu baabwe mu mukono gwo?”

And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Amaziah, and He sendeth unto him a prophet, and he saith unto him, 'Why hast thou sought the gods of the people that have not delivered their people out of thy hand?'

16 Naye bwe yali ng’akyayogera, kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Twali tukulonze okuba omuwi wa magezi owa kabaka? Sirika! Lwaki onoonya okuttibwa?” Awo nnabbi nga tannasirika, n’ayogera kino nti, “Mmanyi nga Katonda amaliridde okukuzikiriza, kubanga tossizaayo mwoyo ku kubuulirira kwange.”

And it cometh to pass, in his speaking unto him, that he saith to him, 'For a counsellor to the king have we appointed thee? cease for thee; why do they smite thee?' And the prophet ceaseth, and saith, 'I have known that God hath counselled to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened to my counsel.'

17 Awo Amaziya kabaka wa Yuda ne yeebuuza ku bawi b’amagezi be, n’aweereza obubaka eri Yowaasi mutabani wa Yekoyakaazi, muzzukulu wa Yeeku, kabaka wa Isirayiri, ng’agamba nti, “Jjangu tusisinkane amaaso n’amaaso.”

And Amaziah king of Judah taketh counsel, and sendeth unto Joash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying,

18 Naye Yowaasi kabaka wa Isirayiri n’addamu Amaziya kabaka wa Yuda bw’ati nti, “Omwennyango ogwali mu Lebanooni gw’aweereza obubaka eri omuvule ogwali mu Lebanooni, nga gugamba nti, ‘Waayo muwala wo eri mutabani wange, amufumbirwe,’ naye ensolo ey’omu nsiko eyali mu Lebanooni, ng’eyitawo, n’erinnyirira omwennyango.

'Come, we look one another in the face.' And Joash king of Israel sendeth unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, 'The thorn that [is] in Lebanon hath sent unto the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for a wife; and pass by doth a beast of the field that [is] in Lebanon, and treadeth down the thorn.

19 Weewaana nga bw’owangudde Edomu, era omutima gwo gujjudde okwegulumiza n’okwenyumiriza. Naye sigala ewuwo. Lwaki onoonya emitawaana, ne weeretera okugwa, ggwe ne Yuda?”

Thou hast said, Lo, I have smitten Edom; and thy heart hath lifted thee up to boast; now, abide in thy house, why dost thou stir thyself up in evil, that thou hast fallen, thou, and Judah with thee?'

20 Naye Amaziya n’atawuliriza, kubanga okuwangulwa abalabe baabwe kwava eri Katonda, kubanga bava ku Katonda waabwe ne banoonya bakatonda ba Edomu.

And Amaziah hath not hearkened, for from God it [is] in order to give them into hand, because they have sought the gods of Edom;

21 Awo Yowaasi kabaka wa Isirayiri n’alumba, ye ne Amaziya kabaka wa Yuda ne basisinkana amaaso n’amaaso mu lutalo e Besusemesi ekya Yuda.

and go up doth Joash king of Israel, and they look one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, in Beth-Shemesh, that [is] Judah's,

22 Isirayiri n’awangula Yuda, buli muntu n’addukira ewuwe.

and Judah is smitten before Israel, and they flee — each to his tents.

23 Yowaasi kabaka wa Isirayiri n’awambira Amaziya kabaka wa Yuda mutabani wa Yowaasi, muzzukulu wa Yekoyakaazi e Besusemesi, n’amuleeta e Yerusaalemi. Yowaasi n’amenyaamenya n’ekitundu ekya bbugwe wa Yerusaalemi okuva ku mulyango gwa Efulayimu okutuuka ku Mulyango ogw’oku Nsonda, eyali mita kikumi mu kinaana obuwanvu.

And Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, hath Joash king of Israel caught in Beth-Shemesh, and bringeth him in to Jerusalem, and breaketh down in the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits,

24 N’atwala ezaabu n’effeeza yonna, n’ebintu ebirala byonna ebyali mu yeekaalu ya Katonda ebyali bikuumibwa Obededomu, wamu n’eby’obugagga eby’omu lubiri, n’abawambe, n’addayo e Samaliya.

and [taketh] all the gold, and the silver, and all the vessels that are found in the house of God with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the house of the king, and the sons of the pledges, and turneth back to Samaria.

25 Awo Amaziya mutabani wa Yowaasi kabaka wa Yuda n’awangaala emyaka emirala kkumi n’ettaano, oluvannyuma olw’okufa kwa Yowaasi mutabani wa Yekoyakaazi, kabaka wa Isirayiri.

And Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, liveth after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years;

26 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Amaziya, okuva ku ntandikwa okutuuka ku nkomerero, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya bassekabaka ba Yuda ne Isirayiri?

and the rest of the matters of Amaziah, the first and the last, lo, are they not written on the books of the kings of Judah and Israel?

27 Okuva mu kiseera, Amaziya lwe yakyuka okuva ku Mukama, baamusalira olukwe mu Yerusaalemi, n’addukira e Lakisi. Kyokka ne bamusindikira abasajja abaamugoberera okutuuka e Lakisi, era ne bamuttira eyo.

And from the time that Amaziah hath turned aside from after Jehovah — they make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fleeth to Lachish, and they send after him to Lachish, and put him to death there,

28 Omulambo gwe ne baguleetera ku mbalaasi, n’aziikibwa mu masiro ga bajjajjaabe mu kibuga kya Yuda.

and lift him up on the horses, and bury him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
