2 Ebyomumirembe 29

1 Keezeekiya yali wa myaka amakumi abiri mu etaano bwe yalya obwakabaka; n’afugira emyaka amakumi abiri mu mwenda mu Yerusaalemi. Nnyina ye yali Abiya muwala wa Zekkaliya.

Hesekia dii ɔhene wɔ Yuda no, na wadi mfeɛ aduonu enum. Na ɔdii adeɛ mfeɛ aduonu nkron wɔ Yerusalem. Na ne maame yɛ Sakaria babaa a ne din de Abia.

2 Keezeekiya n’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga jjajjaawe Dawudi bwe yakola.

Ɔyɛɛ deɛ ɛfata wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ ne tete agya Dawid yɛeɛ no.

3 Mu mwaka gwe ogwasooka, mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye, n’aggulawo enzigi za yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’aziddaabiriza.

Afe a ɛdi ɛkan wɔ nʼahennie mu wɔ bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no, Hesekia buebuee Awurade Asɔredan apono no, siesieeɛ.

4 N’ayingiza bakabona n’Abaleevi, n’abakuŋŋaanyiza mu luggya olugazi ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba,

Ɔfrɛfrɛɛ asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no sɛ, wɔmmɛhyia no wɔ Asɔredan no adihɔ a ɛwɔ apueeɛ fam hɔ.

5 n’abagamba nti, “Mumpulirize Abaleevi, kaakano mwetukuze, ate mutukuze ne yeekaalu ya Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjammwe, muggye buli kitali kirongoofu mu watukuvu.

Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Lewifoɔ, montie me! Monnwira mo ho, na monnwira Awurade, mo agyanom Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no nso. Monyiyi biribiara a efi aka no mfiri kronkronbea hɔ.

6 Bajjajjaffe baayonoona, ne bakola ebitali birungi mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda waffe ne bamuvaako. Baggya amaaso gaabwe ku kifo Mukama gy’abeera, ne bamukuba amabega.

Yɛn agyanom anni nokorɛ, na wɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn anim. Wɔgyaa Awurade ne nʼAsɔredan no; wɔdanee wɔn akyi kyerɛɛ no.

7 Baggalawo n’enzigi ez’ekisasi ne bazikiza n’ettabaaza, so tebootereza bubaane wadde okuwaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa mu watukuvu eri Katonda wa Isirayiri.

Afei, wɔtotoo Asɔredan no abankua apono mu, dundumm nkanea no. Wɔgyaee nnuhwamhyeɛ, gyaee ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔde ba Israel Onyankopɔn, kronkronbea hɔ no.

8 Obusungu bwa Mukama kyebwava bukka ku Yuda ne ku Yerusaalemi, era abafudde ekikangabwa, n’ekisekererwa era ekinyoomebwa, nga bwe mulaba n’amaaso gammwe.

Ɛno enti na Awurade abufuo aba Yuda ne Yerusalem so no. Wama yɛadane ahufoɔ, ayamhyehyefoɔ ne aseredeɛ, sɛdeɛ mohunu no pefee no.

9 Bajjajjaffe kyebaava bagwa n’ekitala, ate batabani baffe, ne bawala baffe ne bakyala baffe bo ne batwalibwa mu busibe.

Wɔakunkum yɛn agyanom wɔ ɔko mu, na wɔakyekyere yɛn mmammarima, yɛn mmammaa ne yɛn yerenom sɛ nneduafoɔ.

10 Kaakano mmaliridde mu mutima gwange okukola endagaano ne Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri obusungu bwe obw’amaanyi butuveeko.

Nanso, seesei, me ne Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn bɛyɛ apam sɛdeɛ nʼabufuhyeɛ no bɛfiri yɛn so.

11 Batabani bange temuddangayo kulagajjala nate, kubanga Mukama abalonze okuyimiriranga mu maaso ge okumuweerezanga, n’okumwoterezanga obubaane.”

Mʼadɔfonom Lewifoɔ, monnnyae mo nnwuma mu bio. Awurade ayi mo sɛ monnyina nʼanim nsom no, na monni ɔmanfoɔ anim nsom no, mmɔ afɔdeɛ mma no.”

12 Awo Abaleevi ne batandika okukola era baali: Makasi mutabani wa Amasayi, ne Yoweeri mutabani wa Azaliya ab’omu lulyo lwa Bakokasi, ne Kiisi mutabani wa Abudi, ne Azaliya mutabani wa Yekalereri ab’omu lulyo lwa Merali, ne Yowa mutabani wa Zimma, ne Adeni mutabani wa Yowa ab’omu lulyo lwa Bagerusoni,

Afei saa Lewifoɔ yi hyɛɛ dwumadie no ase. Wɔn a wɔfiri Kohat abusua mu no ne: Amasai babarima Mahat ne Asaria babarima Yoɛl. Wɔn a wɔfiri Merari abusua mu no ne: Abdi babarima Kis ne Yehalelel babarima Asaria. Wɔn a wɔfiri Gerson abusua mu ne: Sima babarima Yoa ne Yoa babarima Eden;

13 ne Simuli ne Yeyeri bazzukulu ba Erizafani, ne Zekkaliya ne Mattaniya, bazzukulu ba Asafu,

Wɔn a wɔfiri Elisafan abusua mu ne: Simri ne Yeiel. Wɔn a wɔfiri Asaf abusua mu ne: Sakaria ne Matania.

14 ne Yekweri ne Simeeyi, bazzukulu ba Kemani, ne Semaaya ne Wuziyeeri bazzukulu ba Yedusuni.

Wɔn a wɔfiri Heman abusua mu ne: Yehiel ne Simei. Wɔn a wɔfiri Yedutun abusua mu ne: Semaia ne Usiel.

15 Ne bakuŋŋaanya baganda baabwe, ne beetukuza bo bennyini, n’oluvannyuma ne bayingira okutukuza yeekaalu ya Mukama nga kabaka bwe yali alagidde, ng’agoberera ebigambo bya Mukama.

Saa mmarima yi frɛfrɛɛ wɔn mfɛfoɔ Lewifoɔ, na wɔdwiraa wɔn ho. Na afei, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ dwiraa Awurade Asɔredan no sɛdeɛ ɔhene no hyɛeɛ no. Wɔyɛɛ ahwɛyie, dii Awurade ahyɛdeɛ no so pɛpɛɛpɛ wɔ wɔn dwumadie no mu.

16 Bakabona ne bayingira mu watukuvu wa Mukama ne batukuzaamu. Ne bafulumya ebitaali birongoofu byonna ebyasangibwa mu yeekaalu ya Mukama ne babiteeka mu luggya lwa yeekaalu ya Mukama, Abaleevi ne babitwala ebweru mu Kiwonvu Kiduloni.

Asɔfoɔ no kɔɔ Awurade Asɔredan kronkronbea hɔ, kɔdwiraa hɔ, na wɔfaa biribiara a ɛho agu fi a wɔhunuiɛ no firii hɔ de baa Asɔredan no adihɔ. Lewifoɔ no twee ne nyinaa firii hɔ, kɔto guu Kidron Bɔnhwa mu.

17 Okutukuza ne kutandika ku lunaku olusooka mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye; ku lunaku olw’omunaana mu mwezi ogwo ne batuuka ku kisasi kya Mukama. Ne bamala ennaku munaana nga batukuza yeekaalu ya Mukama; ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’omukaaga olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye ne bamaliriza.

Wɔhyɛɛ dwumadie no ase wɔ da bi a ɛwɔ bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no mu. Na ɛda a ɛtɔ so nwɔtwe no, na wɔaduru Awurade Asɔredan no abankua mu hɔ. Na wɔde nnafua nwɔtwe bio dwiraa Awurade Asɔredan no ankasa. Enti wɔde nnafua dunsia na ɛwiee dwumadie no nyinaa.

18 Awo ne bagenda eri kabaka Keezeekiya ne bamutegeeza nti, “Tutukuzizza yeekaalu ya Mukama yonna, ekyoto eky’okuweerayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebintu byakwo byonna, n’emmeeza ey’emigaati egy’okulaga n’ebintu byakwo byonna.

Na Lewifoɔ no kɔɔ ɔhene Hesekia nkyɛn, kɔkaa sɛdeɛ dwumadie no akɔsi kyerɛɛ no. Wɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛadwira Awurade Asɔredan no, ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔ afɔrebukyia no a nneɛma ahodoɔ ka ho ne Hyiadan mu Burodo no ɛpono no ne ɛho nneɛma ho.

19 N’ebintu byonna kabaka Akazi bye yaggyamu olw’obutali bwesigwa bwe, tubiteeseteese ne tubitukuza, era laba biri mu maaso g’ekyoto kya Mukama.”

Afei, nso, nneɛma a ɔhene Ahas tasee wɔ ɛberɛ a na ɔyɛ asoɔden, na ɔtoo asɔredan no mu no nso, yɛakɔgye ne nyinaa. Ne nyinaa gu Awurade afɔrebukyia no anim a wɔadwira ho na wɔbɛtumi de adi dwuma biara.”

20 Awo bwe bwakya, enkeera kabaka Keezeekiya n’akuŋŋaanya abakungu ab’omu kibuga, ne balaga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.

Adeɛ kyee anɔpahema no, ɔhene Hesekia boaboaa kuro no mpanimfoɔ ano ne wɔn kɔɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu.

21 Ne baleeta ente ennume musanvu, n’endiga ennume musanvu, n’endiga ento nga nnume musanvu, n’embuzi ennume musanvu okuba ebiweebwayo olw’ekibi ku lw’obwakabaka, ne ku lwa watukuvu, ne ku lwa Yuda. N’alyoka alagira bakabona, bazzukulu ba Alooni okubiweerayo ku kyoto kya Mukama.

Wɔde anantwinini nson, nnwennini nson, nnwammaa nson ne mpapo nson baa sɛ, ahennie, asɔredan no ne Yuda bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Ɔhene no hyɛɛ asɔfoɔ no a wɔyɛ Aaron asefoɔ sɛ, wɔmfa mmoa no mmɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ Awurade afɔrebukyia no so.

22 Awo ne batta ente ennume, bakabona ne baddira omusaayi ne bagumansira ku kyoto, oluvannyuma ne batta endiga ennume ne bamansira omusaayi gwazo ku kyoto, n’oluvannyuma ne batta n’endiga ento ne bamansira omusaayi gwazo ku kyoto.

Na wɔkunkum anantwinini no, na asɔfoɔ de mogya no petee afɔrebukyia no so. Afei, wɔkunkumm nnwennini no de wɔn mogya petee afɔrebukyia no so. Na awieeɛ no, wɔde nnwammaa no yɛɛ saa ara.

23 Embuzi ennume ezaali ez’ekiweebwayo ku lw’ekibi ne zireetebwa mu maaso ga kabaka n’ekibiina, ne bazisaako emikono gyabwe,

Mpapo a wɔde rebɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ no, wɔde baa ɔhene no ne ɔmanfoɔ no anim, ma wɔde wɔn nsa guu wɔn so.

24 n’oluvannyuma bakabona ne bazitta, ne bawaayo omusaayi gwazo ng’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi ku kyoto, okutangiririra Isirayiri yenna, kubanga kabaka yali alagidde okuwaayo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa n’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi ku lwa Isirayiri yenna.

Afei, asɔfoɔ no kunkumm mpapo no sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔ, de wɔn mogya petee afɔrebukyia no so, sɛ bɔne ho mpatadeɛ maa Israel nyinaa. Ɔhene no sii so dua sɛ, saa ɔhyeɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔ no, wɔmmɔ mma Israel nyinaa.

25 N’ateeka Abaleevi mu yeekaalu ya Mukama nga balina ebitaasa, entongooli, n’ennanga, ng’ekiragiro kya Dawudi, ne Gaadi omulabi wa kabaka ne Nasani nnabbi bwe kyali; kubanga ekiragiro ekyo kyava eri Mukama ng’ayita mu bannabbi be.

Afei, ɔhene Hesekia de Lewifoɔ no gyinagyinaa Awurade Asɔredan no mu. Ɔde kyankyan, mmɛnta ne asankuten maa wɔn. Ɔdii ahyɛdeɛ a Awurade nam Gad, a ɔyɛ ɔhene nhunumuni ne odiyifoɔ Natan so de maa Dawid no so.

26 Awo Abaleevi ne bayimirira nga bakutte ebivuga bya Dawudi, ne bakabona nga bakutte amakondeere.

Afei, Lewifoɔ no faa Dawid nnwontodeɛ no kɔgyinagyinaa wɔn gyinaberɛ wɔ Asɔredan no ho. Saa ara nso na asɔfoɔ no faa wɔn ntotorobɛnto kɔgyinagyinaa wɔn afa.

27 Keezeekiya n’alagira okuwaayo ssaddaaka ey’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ku kyoto. Era okuwaayo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa bwe kwatandika, abayimbi nabo ne batandika okuyimbira Mukama, n’amakondeere n’ebivuga ebirala ebya Dawudi kabaka wa Isirayiri nabyo ne bivuga.

Afei, ɔhene Hesekia hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmfa ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no nsi afɔrebukyia no so. Ɛberɛ a wɔde ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no reba no, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ too ayɛyie nnwom maa Awurade, na wɔde ntotorobɛnto ne Israelhene Dawid nnwontodeɛ no gyegyee ho.

28 Ekibiina kyonna ne basinza, abayimbi ne bayimba, n’abamakondeere ne bagafuuwa, era ebyo byonna ne byongerwa okukolebwa okutuusa okuwaayo ssaddaaka ey’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa bwe kwaggwa.

Badwa no sɔree Awurade wɔ ɛberɛ a na nnwomtofoɔ no reto nnwom, na wɔrehyɛn ntotorobɛnto no ara kɔsii sɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no nyinaa saeɛ.

29 Awo okuwaayo ebiweebwayo bwe kwaggwa, kabaka n’abo bonna abaaliwo ne bavuunama ne basinza.

Na ɔhene no ne wɔn a wɔka ne ho no nyinaa koto someeɛ.

30 Kabaka Keezeekiya n’abakungu ne balagira Abaleevi okuyimba nga batendereza Mukama mu bigambo bya Dawudi n’ebya Asafu omulabi. Ne bayimba nga batendereza n’essanyu, ne bavuunama ne basinza.

Ɔhene Hesekia ne ne mpanimfoɔ hyɛɛ Lewifoɔ no sɛ, wɔmfa Dawid nnwom ne nhunumuni Asaf deɛ, nkamfo Awurade. Enti, wɔde anigyeɛ kamfoo Awurade, na wɔkoto sɔreeɛ.

31 Awo Keezeekiya n’ayogera nti, “Kaakano mwetukuzizza eri Mukama, musembere, muleete ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo ebyokwebaza mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.” Ekibiina ne kireeta ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo eby’okwebaza, n’abo bonna abeesiimira ne baleeta ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa.

Afei, Hesekia de too dwa sɛ, “Ɔsom no aba awieeɛ. Momfa mo afɔrebɔdeɛ ne mo aseda mmra Awurade Asɔredan mu.” Enti, ɔmanfoɔ no de wɔn afɔrebɔdeɛ ne wɔn aseda afɔrebɔdeɛ baeɛ, na wɔn a wɔpɛ no de ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ nso kaa ho.

32 Omuwendo gw’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ekibiina gwe kyaleeta gwali ente ennume nsanvu, n’endiga ennume kikumi, n’endiga ento nga nnume ebikumi bibiri, ng’ebyo byonna bye byali ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama.

Ɔmanfoɔ no de anantwinini aduɔson, nnwennini ɔha ne nnwammaa ahanu sɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ brɛɛ Awurade.

33 N’ensolo ezatukuzibwa okuba ssaddaaka zaali ente ennume lukaaga, n’endiga enkumi ssatu.

Wɔsane de anantwinini ahansia ne nnwan mpem mmiɛnsa baa sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ.

34 Wabula bakabona ne baba batono ne batayinza kubaaga biweebwayo ebyokebwa byonna, baganda baabwe Abaleevi ne babayambako okutuusa bakabona abalala bwe beetukuza; omulimu ne guggwa, kubanga Abaleevi baali beegendereza nnyo mu kwetukuza okusinga bakabona.

Nanso, na asɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no sua sɛ wɔbɛtumi asiesie ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no nyinaa enti, wɔn abusuafoɔ Lewifoɔ no boaa wɔn, kɔsii sɛ dwumadie no baa awieeɛ. Wɔtee asɔfoɔ no pii ho ansa na wɔreboa dwumadie no, ɛfiri sɛ, na Lewifoɔ no adwene wɔ wɔn ahoteɛ so sene asɔfoɔ no.

35 Ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa bingi, wamu n’amasavu ag’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, n’ebiweebwayo ebyokunywa ebyawerekerezebwa ku biweebwayo ebyokebwa. Okuweereza mu yeekaalu ya Mukama ne kuzzibwawo.

Na ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne daa nsa afɔdeɛ no buu so. Saa ara nso na asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ sradeɛ nso yɛɛ bebree. Enti, wɔsiesiee Awurade Asɔredan no maa ɔsom no.

36 Awo Keezeekiya n’abantu bonna ne bajaguza olw’ekyo Katonda kye yali akoledde abantu be mu bbanga ettono ennyo.

Na Hesekia ne ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa gyee wɔn ani wɔ deɛ Onyankopɔn ayɛ ama nnipa no, ɛfiri sɛ wɔwiee biribiara ntɛm.
