2 Bassekabaka 15

1 Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri mu omusanvu ogw’obufuzi bwa Yerobowaamu kabaka wa Isirayiri, Azaliya mutabani wa ssekabaka Amaziya n’alya obwakabaka bwa Yuda.

In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.

2 Yalina emyaka kkumi na mukaaga bwe yatandika okufuga, n’afugira emyaka amakumi ataano mu ebiri mu Yerusaalemi. Erinnya lya nnyina ye yali Yekoliya ow’e Yerusaalemi.

Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

3 Yakola ebyali ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga kitaawe Amaziya bwe yali akoze.

And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;

4 Wabula ebifo ebigulumivu gye baweeranga ssaddaaka tebyaggibwawo, era abantu beeyongeranga okuweerangayo ssaddaaka n’okwoterezangayo obubaane.

Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.

5 Awo Mukama n’aleetera kabaka obulwadde n’agengewala, ennaku ze zonna okutuusa bwe yafa, era n’aggyibwako emirimu egy’obuvunaanyizibwa n’ateekebwa mu nnyumba ey’enjawulo. Azaliya n’asigira Yosamu mutabani we okuvunaanyizibwanga ensonga zonna ez’omu lubiri, era n’afuganga n’abantu ab’omu nsi.

And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house. And Jotham the king's son [was] over the house, judging the people of the land.

6 Ebyafaayo ebirala byonna ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Azaliya, ne bye yakola byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?

And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

7 Awo Azaliya n’afa, n’aziikibwa ku biggya bya bajjajjaabe mu kibuga kya Dawudi, Yosamu mutabani we n’amusikira okuba kabaka.

So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

8 Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi asatu mu omunaana ogw’obufuzi bwa Azaliya kabaka wa Yuda, Zekkaliya mutabani wa Yerobowaamu n’alya obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri mu Samaliya, n’afugira emyezi mukaaga.

In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.

9 N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga bajjajjaabe bwe baakola, n’atakyuka okuva mu bibi bya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri.

And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

10 Awo Sallumu mutabani wa Yabesi, n’asala olukwe n’amuttira mu lujjudde lw’abantu, era n’alya obwakabaka.

And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.

11 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Zekkaliya, byawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri.

And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold they [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

12 Awo ekigambo Mukama kye yagamba Yeeku ne kituukirira, era kyali kigamba nti, “Bazzukulu bo balirya obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri okutuusa ku muzzukulu owookuna.”

This [was] the word of the LORD which he spoke to Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth [generation]. And so it came to pass.

13 Awo Sallumu mutabani wa Yabesi n’atandika okufuga mu mwaka ogw’amakumi asatu mu mwenda ogw’obufuzi bwa Uzziya kabaka wa Yuda, era n’afugira omwezi gumu mu Samaliya.

Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria.

14 Menakemu mutabani wa Gaadi n’ava e Tiruza n’agenda okulumba Sallumu mutabani wa Yabesi e Samaliya, era n’amutta. Ye n’afuuka kabaka mu kifo kye.

For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.

15 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Sallumu, n’olukwe lwe yasala, byawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri.

And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

16 Mu kiseera ekyo Menakemu n’alumba Tifusa n’azikiriza buli muntu eyalimu, na buli kintu ekyali kikirinaanye ng’atandikira ku nsalo yaakyo ne Tiruza, kubanga tebaamwaniriza. Abakyala abaali embuto nabo n’abatta ng’ababaaga.

Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that [were] in it, and the borders of it from Tirzah: because they opened not [to him], therefore he smote [it]; [and] all the women in it that were with child he ripped up.

17 Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi asatu mu mwenda ogw’obufuzi bwa Azaliya kabaka wa Yuda, Menakemu mutabani wa Gaadi n’alya obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri, era n’afugira emyaka kkumi mu Samaliya.

In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, [and reigned] ten years in Samaria.

18 Yakola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, era ebbanga lyonna we yabeerera kabaka, n’atakyuka kuleka bibi bya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri.

And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

19 Awo Puli kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’alumba Isirayiri, naye Menakemu n’amusuubiza okumuwa ttani amakumi asatu mu nnya eza ffeeza ng’amusaba okumuwanirira n’okumunyweza ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka.

[And] Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.

20 Menakemu n’asoloozanga ensimbi ku Bayisirayiri, buli musajja omugagga ng’awaayo gulaamu desimoolo mukaaga eza ffeeza, okuwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli. Awo kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’abaviira mu nsi yaabwe.

And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, [even] of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.

21 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Menakemu, ne bye yakola byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?

And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

22 Menakemu n’afa, Pekakiya mutabani we n’amusikira okuba kabaka.

And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead.

23 Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi ataano ogw’obufuzi bwa Azaliya kabaka wa Yuda, Pekakiya mutabani wa Menakemu n’alya obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri mu Samaliya, era n’afugira emyaka ebiri.

In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, [and reigned] two years.

24 Yakola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, n’atakyuka kuleka bibi bya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri.

And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

25 Awo omu ku baserikale be abakulu nga mukulu wa kibinja erinnya lye Peka mutabani wa Lemaliya, ne yeekobaana n’abasajja abalala amakumi ataano Abagireyaadi ne battira Pekakiya wamu ne Alugobu, ne Aliye mu kigo eky’omu lubiri e Samaliya. Peka n’atta Pekakiya, n’alya obwakabaka.

But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king's house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his room.

26 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Pekakiya, ne bye yakola byonna, byawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri.

And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

27 Mu mwaka ogw’amakumi ataano mu ebiri ogw’obufuzi bwa Azaliya kabaka wa Yuda, Peka mutabani wa Lemaliya n’alya obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri mu Samaliya, era n’afugira emyaka amakumi abiri.

In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, [and reigned] twenty years.

28 Yakola ebibi bya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri.

And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

29 Mu biro bya Peka kabaka wa Isirayiri, Tigulasupireseri kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’alumba ebibuga: by’e Iyoni, n’e Aberubesumaaka, n’e Yanoa, n’e Kedesi, n’e Kazoli, n’e Gireyaadi n’e Ggaliraaya, n’ensi yonna eya Nafutaali, abantu baayo n’abatwala nga basibe e Bwasuli.

In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.

30 Awo Koseya mutabani wa Era n’asala olukwe okutta Peka mutabani wa Lemaliya, n’amulumba era n’amutta, n’alya obwakabaka mu mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri ogw’obwakabaka bwa Yosamu mutabani wa Uzziya.

And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.

31 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Peka, ne bye yakola byonna byawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri.

And the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

32 Mu mwaka ogwokubiri ogw’obufuzi bwa Peka mutabani wa Lemaliya, Yosamu mutabani wa Uzziya n’alya obwakabaka bwa Yuda.

In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel, began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign.

33 Yali wa myaka amakumi abiri mu etaano we yatandikira okufuga, era n’afugira emyaka kkumi na mukaaga mu Yerusaalemi, ne nnyina erinnya lye nga ye Yerusa muwala wa Zadooki.

Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.

34 N’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga kitaawe Uzziya bwe yakola.

And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.

35 Naye ebifo ebigulumivu tebyaggibwawo, era abantu ne beeyongeranga okuweerangayo ssaddaaka n’okwoterezangako obubaane. Yaddaabiriza n’Omulyango ogw’ekyengulu ogwa yeekaalu ya Mukama.

Yet, the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the LORD.

36 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Yosamu, ne bye yakola byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?

Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

37 Mu biro ebyo Mukama n’atandika okusindikira Yuda abalabe nga Lezini kabaka w’e Busuuli ne Peka mutabani wa Lemaliya.

In those days the LORD began to send against Judah, Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah.

38 Yosamu n’afa, n’aziikibwa ku biggya bya bajjajjaabe mu kibuga kya Dawudi jjajjaawe, Akazi mutabani we n’amusikira okuba kabaka.

And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: And Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
