2 Ebyomumirembe 36
1 Awo abantu b’ensi eyo ne balonda Yekoyakaazi mutabani wa Yosiya, n’asikira kitaawe mu Yerusaalemi.
And the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and cause him to reign instead of his father in Jerusalem.
2 Yekoyakaazi yali wa myaka amakumi abiri mu esatu bwe yalya obwakabaka, n’afugira mu Yerusaalemi emyezi esatu.
A son of three and twenty years [is] Jehoahaz in his reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem,
3 Kabaka w’e Misiri yamugoba ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka mu Yerusaalemi, n’asalira Yuda obusuulu obwa ttani ssatu n’obutundu buna obwa ffeeza ne kilo amakumi asatu mu nnya eza zaabu.
and turn him aside doth the king of Egypt in Jerusalem, and fineth the land a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold;
4 Kabaka w’e Misiri n’afuula Eriyakimu muganda wa Yekoyakaazi okuba kabaka wa Yuda ne Yerusaalemi, n’akyusa n’erinnya lye, n’amutuuma Yekoyakimu, naye n’atwala Yekoyakaazi muganda we nga musibe e Misiri.
and the king of Egypt causeth Eliakim his brother to reign over Judah and Jerusalem, and turneth his name to Jehoiakim; and Jehoahaz his brother hath Necho taken, and bringeth him in to Egypt.
5 Yekoyakimu yali wa myaka amakumi abiri mu etaano bwe yalya obwakabaka, n’afugira emyaka kkumi na gumu mu Yerusaalemi. N’akola ebitali bya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda we.
A son of twenty and five years [is] Jehoiakim in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah his God;
6 Awo lumu Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni n’amulumba, n’amusiba mu masamba, n’amutwala e Babulooni.
against him hath Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon come up, and bindeth him in brazen fetters to take him away to Babylon.
7 Nebukadduneeza n’atwala n’ebintu ebyali mu yeekaalu ya Mukama e Babulooni, n’abiteeka mu ssabo lye.
And of the vessels of the house of Jehovah hath Nebuchadnezzar brought in to Babylon, and putteth them in his temple in Babylon.
8 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo ku mulembe gwa Yekoyakimu, eby’ekivve bye yakola, ne byonna bye yavunaanibwa, byawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri ne Yuda. Yekoyakini mutabani we n’amusikira.
And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim, and his abominations that he hath done, and that which is found against him, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, and reign doth Jehoiachin his son in his stead.
9 Yekoyakini yali wa myaka munaana bwe yalya obwakabaka, n’afugira emyezi esatu n’ennaku kkumi mu Yerusaalemi. N’akola ebitali bya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama.
A son of eight years is Jehoiachin in his reigning, and three months and ten days he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah;
10 Awo omwaka bwe gwali nga gunaatera okuggwaako, kabaka Nebukadduneeza n’amutumya, n’aleetebwa e Babulooni n’ebintu byonna eby’omuwendo okuva mu yeekaalu ya Mukama. Nebukadduneeza n’afuula Zeddekiya kitaawe omuto okuba kabaka wa Yuda ne Yerusaalemi.
and at the turn of the year hath king Nebuchadnezzar sent and bringeth him in to Babylon, with the desirable vessels of the house of Jehovah, and causeth Zedekiah his brother to reign over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Zeddekiya yali wa myaka amakumi abiri mu gumu bwe yalya obwakabaka, n’afugira emyaka kkumi na gumu mu Yerusaalemi.
A son of twenty and one years [is] Zedekiah in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;
12 N’akola ebitali bya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda we, n’ateetoowaza mu maaso ga nnabbi Yeremiya, eyayogeranga ekigambo kya Mukama.
and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah his God, he hath not been humbled before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking] from the mouth of Jehovah;
13 N’ajeemera ne kabaka Nebukadduneeza eyamulayiza mu maaso ga Katonda. N’akakanyaza ensingo ye n’omutima gwe, n’atakyuka kudda eri Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri.
and also, against king Nebuchadnezzar he hath rebelled, who had caused him to swear by God, and he hardeneth his neck, and strengtheneth his heart, against turning back unto Jehovah, God of Israel.
14 Ate ne bakabona abakulu bonna n’abantu, ne bataba beesigwa ne bagoberera eby’obukaafiiri eby’amawanga amalala, ne bagwagwawaza yeekaalu ya Mukama, gye yali atukuzizza mu Yerusaalemi.
Also, all the heads of the priests, and the people, having multiplied to commit a trespass according to all the abominations of the nations, and they defile the house of Jehovah that He hath sanctified in Jerusalem.
15 Awo Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe n’ayogera nabo ng’ayita mu babaka be, ng’asaasira abantu be n’ekifo mu abeera.
And Jehovah, God of their fathers, sendeth unto them by the hand of His messengers — rising early and sending — for He hath had pity on His people, and on His habitation,
16 Naye ne baduuliranga ababaka ba Katonda, ne banyoomanga n’ebigambo bye, ne basekereranga bannabbi be, okutuusa obusungu bwa Katonda bwe bwabuubuukira ku bantu be awatali kubasaasira.
and they are mocking at the messengers of God, and despising His words, and acting deceitfully with His prophets, till the going up of the fury of Jehovah against His people — till there is no healing.
17 Kyeyava aweereza kabaka w’Abakaludaaya okubalumba, n’atta n’ekitala abavubuka baabwe mu nnyumba awasinzizibwa, n’atalekaawo muvubuka n’omu newaakubadde abawala abato, newaakubadde abasajja abakulu wadde abakadde ennyo. Bonna Katonda yabawaayo mu mukono gwa Nebukadduneeza.
And He causeth to go up against them the king of the Chaldeans, and he slayeth their chosen ones by the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and hath had no pity on young man and virgin, old man and very aged — the whole He hath given into his hand.
18 Ne yeetikka ebintu ebinene n’ebitono byonna okuva mu yeekaalu ya Katonda, n’eby’obugagga eby’omu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’amawanika ga kabaka n’abakungu be.
And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king and of his princes — the whole he hath brought in to Babylon.
19 Ne bookya yeekaalu ya Katonda ne bamenyaamenya ne bbugwe wa Yerusaalemi, ne bookya n’embiri zonna, ne bazikiriza n’ebintu eby’omuwendo byonna.
And they burn the house of God, and break down the wall of Jerusalem, and all its palaces they have burnt with fire, and all its desirable vessels — to destruction.
20 N’abo abaawona ekitala, n’abatwala mu buwaŋŋanguse e Babulooni, ne babeera baddu be n’aba batabani be okutuusa ku kufuga kw’obwakabaka bw’Obuperusi.
And he removeth those left of the sword unto Babylon, and they are to him and to his sons for servants, till the reigning of the kingdom of Persia,
21 Ensi n’ekuuma ssabbiiti zaayo, ekiseera kyonna kye yamala mu kubonaabona kwayo okutuusa emyaka ensanvu bwe gyagwako, ng’ekyo kituukiriza ekigambo Mukama kye yayogera mu Yeremiya.
to fulfil the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah, till the land hath enjoyed its sabbaths; all the days of the desolation it kept sabbath — to the fulness of seventy years.
22 Mu mwaka ogw’olubereberye ogwa Kuulo kabaka wa Buperusi, Mukama n’akoma ku mutima gwa Kuulo kabaka wa Buperusi ng’ekigambo Mukama kye yayogerera mu Yeremiya bwe kyali, okulangirira mu bwakabaka bwe bwonna, n’okuwandiika nti,
And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah, hath Jehovah waked up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causeth an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
23 “Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Kuulo kabaka wa Buperusi nti, “‘Mukama Katonda w’eggulu ampadde obwakabaka bwonna obw’omu nsi, era annonze okumuzimbira yeekaalu e Yerusaalemi mu Yuda. Bwe wabaawo omuntu yenna mu mmwe ow’oku bantu be, Mukama Katonda abeere naye, ayambuke.’”
'Thus said Cyrus king of Persia, All kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, God of the heavens, given to me, and He hath laid a charge on me to build to Him a house in Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah; who is among you of all His people? Jehovah his God [is] with him, and he doth go up.'
