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 Joash the son of Joachaz the king of Israel became Amazyahu, the son of Joash the king of Judah, king.
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 was he old when he became king, and twenty and nine years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yeho'addan 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 what is right in the eyes of the Lord, yet not like David his father: in accordance with all that Joash his father had done, [so] did he.
4 Kyokka beeyongeranga okuweerayo ssaddaaka n’okwoterezanga obubaane ku bifo ebigulumivu kubanga byali tebiggyiddwawo.
Nevertheless the high-places were not removed: 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 firmly established in his hand, that he slew his servants who 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 the children of the murderers he put not to death: as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, that the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor shall the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
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 it was that smote of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand men, and seized Sela' in the war, and called its name Yoktheel 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 sent Amazyah messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoachaz the son of Jehu, the 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 Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amazyahu the king of Judah, saying, The thornbush that was in the Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in the Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for wife. And there passed along the wild beasts that were in Lebanon, and trod down the thornbush.
10 Kaakano wegulumizza kubanga owangudde Edomu. Wenyumirize mu buwanguzi bwo ewuwo. Lwaki oyagala okweleetera emitawaana, n’okugwa kwo era n’okwa Yuda?”
Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up: keep thy glory and stay in thy house; and why wilt thou meddle with misfortune, that thou mayest fall, thou, and Judah with thee?
11 Naye Amaziya teyawuliriza, era ekyavaamu Yekoyaasi kabaka wa Isirayiri n’amulumba. Ne balabagana amaaso n’amaaso mu lutalo e Besusemesi ekya Yuda.
But Amazyahu would not hear. Therefore Jehoash the king of Israel went up; and he and Amazyahu the king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
12 Yuda n’awangulibwa Isirayiri, buli musajja n’addukira ewuwe.
And Judah was defeated before Israel; and they fled every man to his tents.
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 Jehoash the king of Israel caught Amazyahu the king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, the son of Achazyahu, at Beth-shemesh; and he came to Jerusalem, and made a breach in the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner-gate, 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 all 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 children of the chiefs as 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?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his mighty deeds, and how he fought with Amazyahu the king of Judah, behold, they are 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 Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel: and Jerobo'am his son became king 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 Amazyahu the son of Joash the king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash, the son of Jehoachaz the 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 Amazyahu, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
19 Ne bamusalira olukwe olw’okumuttira mu Yerusaalemi, n’addukira e Lakisi, naye ne bamuwerekereza abasajja era ne bamuttira e Lakisi.
Now they raised a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: wherefore he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew 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 on horses: and he was buried at 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 Judah took 'Azaryah, who was sixteen years old, and they made him king instead of his father Amazyahu.
22 Ye yaddaabiriza Erasi era n’azza Yuda obuggya, nga Amaziya amaze okufa.
He it was that built Elath, and brought it back to Judah, 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 Amazyahu the son of Joash the king of Judah became Jerobo'am the son of Joash the king of Israel king in Samaria, [for] 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 what is evil in the eyes of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced 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 restored the boundary of Israel from the entrance of Chamath unto the sea of the plain; in accordance with the word of the Lord God of Israel, which he had spoken by means of his servant Jonah the son of Amitthai, the prophet, who was of Gathchepher.
26 Mukama yalaba okubonaabona kwa buli omu mu Isirayiri, omuddu n’atali muddu, nga tewali ayinza ku babeera.
For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel, which was very bitter; that the guarded was no more, and that the fortified was no more, and there was no helper for Israel.
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 had not spoken that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens; but he helped them by means of Jerobo'am the son of Joash.
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?
Now the rest of the acts of Jerobo'am, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds, how he warred, and how he brought back Damascus and Chamath, [which had belonged] to Judah, to Israel, behold, they are 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 Jerobo'am slept with his fathers, with the kings of Israel: and Zechariah his son became king in his stead.
