2 Bassekabaka 14
1 Mu mwaka ogwokubiri ogw’obufuzi bwa Yowaasi mutabani wa Yowakazi kabaka wa Isirayiri, Amaziya mutabani wa Yowaasi ssekabaka wa Yuda n’alya obwakabaka.
In the second year of Joas the son of Joachaz king of Israel, did Amessias also the son of Joas the king of Juda begin to reign.
2 Yali aweza emyaka amakumi abiri mu etaano weyatandikira okufuga, era n’afugira emyaka amakumi abiri mu mwenda mu Yerusaalemi. Nnyina erinnya lye ye yali Yekoyadiini ow’e Yerusaalemi.
Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Joadim of Jerusalem.
3 N’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, newaakubadde nga tebyenkana bya jjajjaawe Dawudi bye yakola. Mu buli nsonga yonna yagobereranga ekyokulabirako kya Yowaasi kitaawe.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not as David his father: he did according to all things that his father Joas did.
4 Kyokka beeyongeranga okuweerayo ssaddaaka n’okwoterezanga obubaane ku bifo ebigulumivu kubanga byali tebiggyiddwawo.
Only he removed not the high places: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
5 Bwe yalaba ng’obwakabaka bunywezeddwa mu buyinza bwe, n’atta abakungu abaatemula kabaka kitaawe.
And it came to pass when the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants that had slain the king his father.
6 Wabula teyatta batabani baabwe kubanga mu byawandiikibwa mu Kitabo eky’Amateeka ga Musa, Mukama yalagira nti, “Abazadde tebattibwenga ku lw’abaana, so n’abaana tebattibwenga ku lw’abazadde baabwe; buli muntu anaafanga olw’ebibi bye ye.”
But he killed not the sons of those that had slain him; according as it is written in the book of the laws of Moses, as the Lord gave commandment, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the children shall not be put to death for the fathers; but every one shall die for his own sins.
7 Yawangula ab’e Edomu mu Kiwonvu eky’Omunnyo, era n’atta omutwalo gumu ku bo, n’okuwamba n’awamba Seera mu lutalo, n’akituuma Yokuseeri, era kye kikyayitibwa ne ku lunaku lwa leero.
He struck of Edom ten thousand in the valley of salt, and took the Rock in the war, and called its name Jethoel until this day.
8 Awo mu biro ebyo Amaziya n’atumira Yekoyaasi mutabani wa Yekoyakaazi, muzzukulu wa Yeeku, kabaka wa Isirayiri, obubaka ng’amusosonkereza nti, “Jjangu tulabagane amaaso n’amaaso.”
Then Amessias sent messengers to Joas son of Joachaz son of Ju king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.
9 Naye Yekoyaasi kabaka wa Isirayiri n’addamu Amaziya kabaka wa Yuda nti, “Omwennyango mu Lebanooni gw’aweereza obubaka eri omuvule mu Lebanooni nga gugamba nti, ‘Waayo muwala wo afumbirwe mutabani wange.’ Naye ensolo enkambwe eya Lebanooni bwe yali ng’eyitawo n’erinnyirira omwennyango.
And Joas the king of Israel sent to Amessias king of Juda, saying, The thistle that was in Libanus sent to the cedar that was in Libanus, saying, Give my daughter to your son to wife: and the wild beasts of the field that were in Libanus passed by and trod down the thistle.
10 Kaakano wegulumizza kubanga owangudde Edomu. Wenyumirize mu buwanguzi bwo ewuwo. Lwaki oyagala okweleetera emitawaana, n’okugwa kwo era n’okwa Yuda?”
You have struck and wounded Edom, and your heart has lifted you up: stay at home and glorify yourself; for therefore are you quarrelsome to your hurt? So [both] you will fall and Juda with you.
11 Naye Amaziya teyawuliriza, era ekyavaamu Yekoyaasi kabaka wa Isirayiri n’amulumba. Ne balabagana amaaso n’amaaso mu lutalo e Besusemesi ekya Yuda.
Nevertheless Amessias listened not: so Joas king of Israel went up, and he and Amessias king of Juda looked one another in the face in Baethsamys of Juda.
12 Yuda n’awangulibwa Isirayiri, buli musajja n’addukira ewuwe.
And Juda was overthrown before Israel, and [every] man fled to his tent.
13 Awo Yekoyaasi kabaka wa Isirayiri n’awambira Amaziya kabaka wa Yuda mutabani wa Yekoyaasi muzzukulu wa Akaziya e Besusemesi; Yekoyaasi ne yeeyongerayo e Yerusaalemi, n’amenyaamenya bbugwe wa Yerusaalemi, obuwanvu mita kikumi mu kinaana, okuva ku wankaaki wa Efulayimu okutuuka ku wankaaki ow’oku Nsonda.
And Joas king of Israel took Amessias the son of Joas the son of Ochozias, in Baethsamys; and he came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, [beginning] at the gate of Ephraim as far as the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits.
14 N’atwala ezaabu n’effeeza yonna, n’ebikozesebwa byonna ebyali mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’eby’obugagga ebyali mu lubiri lwa kabaka, era n’abantu n’abatwala nga basibe, n’addayo e Samaliya.
And he took the gold, and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.
15 Ebyafaayo ebirala byonna ebyaliwo mu mirembe gya Yekoyaasi, ne bye yakola n’ebyamagero bye, ne bwe yatabaala Amaziya kabaka wa Yuda, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
And the rest of the acts of Joas, [even] all that he did in his might, how he warred with Amessias king of Juda, are not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
16 Yekoyaasi n’afa n’aziikibwa mu Samaliya mu masiro ga bakabaka ba Isirayiri. Mutabani we Yerobowaamu n’amusikira okuba kabaka.
And Joas slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
17 Awo Amaziya mutabani wa Yowaasi n’awangaala emyaka kkumi n’ettaano emirala oluvannyuma lw’okufa kwa Yekoyaasi mutabani wa Yekoyakaazi kabaka wa Isirayiri.
And Amessias the son of Joas king of Juda lived after the death of Joas son of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years.
18 Ebyafaayo ebirala eby’omulembe gwa Amaziya, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
And the rest of the acts of Amessias, and all that he did, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
19 Ne bamusalira olukwe olw’okumuttira mu Yerusaalemi, n’addukira e Lakisi, naye ne bamuwerekereza abasajja era ne bamuttira e Lakisi.
And they formed a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachis: and they sent after him to Lachis, and killed him there.
20 Ne bakomyawo omulambo gwe ku mbalaasi, era n’aziikibwa ku biggya bya bajjajjaabe mu Yerusaalemi, mu kibuga kya Dawudi.
And they brought him upon horses; and he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
21 Awo eggwanga lyonna erya Yuda, ne bafuula Azaliya ow’emyaka ekkumi n’omukaaga kabaka, ng’asikira kitaawe Amaziya.
And all the people of Juda took Azarias, and he was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amessias.
22 Ye yaddaabiriza Erasi era n’azza Yuda obuggya, nga Amaziya amaze okufa.
He built Aeloth, and restored it to Juda, after the king slept with his fathers.
23 Mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ettaano ogw’obufuzi bwa Amaziya mutabani wa Yowaasi kabaka wa Yuda, Yerobowaamu II mutabani wa Yowaasi ssekabaka wa Isirayiri n’afuuka kabaka mu Samaliya, era n’afugira emyaka amakumi ana mu gumu.
In the fifteenth year of Amessias son of Joas king of Juda began Jeroboam son of Joas to reign over Israel in Samaria forty and one years.
24 N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, n’atakyuka okuva mu bibi ebya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin.
25 Yatuukiriza ekigambo kya Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri kye yayogerera mu muddu we Yona mutabani wa Amitayi nnabbi ow’e Gasukeferi, n’azzaawo ensalo ya Isirayiri okuva ku mulyango gwa Kamasi okutuuka ku Nnyanja ey’Omunnyo.
He recovered the coast of Israel from the entering in of Aemath to the sea of Araba, according to the word of the Lord God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonas the son of Amathi, the prophet of Gethchopher.
26 Mukama yalaba okubonaabona kwa buli omu mu Isirayiri, omuddu n’atali muddu, nga tewali ayinza ku babeera.
For the Lord saw [that] the affliction of Israel [was] very bitter, and that they were few in number, straitened and in lack, and destitute, and Israel had no helper.
27 Olw’okubanga Mukama yali tagambye nti alisaanyaawo erinnya lya Isirayiri wansi w’eggulu, n’atuma Yerobowaamu II mutabani wa Yowaasi okubalokola.
And the Lord said that he would not blot out the seed of Israel from under heaven; so he delivered them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joas.
28 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Yerobowaamu II, ne byonna bye yakola, ne bwe yalwana entalo n’obuzira, n’engeri gye yakomezaawo Isirayiri Ddamasiko ne Kamasi ebyali ebya Yuda, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam and all that he did, and his mighty deeds, which he achieved in war, and how he recovered Damascus and Aemath to Juda in Israel, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
29 Yerobowaamu ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, bassekabaka ba Isirayiri, Zekkaliya mutabani we n’amusikira okuba kabaka.
And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zacharias his son reigned in his stead.
