1 Mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’omusanvu ogw’obufuzi bwa Peka mutabani wa Lemaliya, Akazi mutabani wa Yosamu kabaka wa Yuda, n’atandika okufuga.
In year seven-teen year of Pekah [the] son of Remaliah he became king Ahaz [the] son of Jotham [the] king of Judah.
2 Akazi yali wa myaka amakumi abiri we yatandikira okufuga, era n’afugira emyaka kkumi na mukaaga mu Yerusaalemi. N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda we, obutafaanana nga jjajjaawe Dawudi.
[was] a son of Twenty year[s] Ahaz when became king he and six-teen year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and not he did the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh God his like David ancestor his.
3 N’atambulira mu ngeri za bassekabaka ba Isirayiri, era n’okuwaayo n’awaayo mutabani we ng’ekiweebwayo, ng’agoberera eby’emizizo eby’amawanga Mukama ge yali agobye mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri.
And he walked in [the] way of [the] kings of Israel and also son his he made pass in the fire according to [the] abominations of the nations which he had dispossessed Yahweh them from before [the] people of Israel.
4 N’awangayo ssaddaaka, era n’ayoterezanga n’obubaane ku bifo ebigulumivu, ku nsozi waggulu, ne wansi wa buli muti.
And he sacrificed and he made smoke at the high places and on the hills and under every tree luxuriant.
5 Lezini kabaka wa Busuuli ne Peka, mutabani wa Lemaliya kabaka wa Isirayiri ne bambuka okulumba Yerusaalemi ne bazingiza Akazi, naye ne batayinza kumuwangula.
Then he came up Rezin [the] king of Aram and Pekah [the] son of Remaliah [the] king of Israel Jerusalem for battle and they laid siege on Ahaz and not they were able to do battle.
6 Mu kiseera kye kimu, Lezini kabaka wa Busuuli n’agoba abasajja ba Yuda okuva mu Erasi n’akiddiza Abasuuli, era gye babeera ne leero.
At the time that he restored Rezin [the] king of Aram Elath to Aram and he cleared out the Jews from Elath (and Edomites *Q(K)*) they came Elath and they have dwelt there until the day this.
7 Awo Akazi n’atuma ababaka eri Tigulasupireseri kabaka w’e Bwasuli, okumugamba nti, “Ndi muddu wo era mutabani wo, nkwegayiridde jjangu ondokole okuva mu mukono gwa kabaka wa Busuuli; n’okuva mu mukono gwa kabaka wa Isirayiri abannumbye.”
And he sent Ahaz messengers to Tiglath-pileser [the] king of Assyria saying [am] servant your and son your I come up and deliver me from [the] hand of [the] king of Aram and from [the] hand of [the] king of Israel who are rising up on me.
8 Akazi n’aggya effeeza ne zaabu ebyabeeranga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ne mu mawanika ag’omu lubiri lwa kabaka, n’agiweereza ng’ekirabo eri kabaka w’e Bwasuli.
And he took Ahaz the silver and the gold which was found [the] house of Yahweh and in [the] treasuries of [the] house of the king and he sent [it] to [the] king of Assyria a gift.
9 Awo kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’awulira okwegayirira kwe, n’alumba Ddamasiko, n’akiwamba, n’abantu abaabeerangamu n’abaweereza mu buwaŋŋanguse e Kiri, era n’okutta n’atta Lezini.
And he listened to him [the] king of Assyria and he came up [the] king of Assyria to Damascus and he seized it and he took into exile it Kir towards and Rezin he put to death.
10 Awo kabaka Akazi n’agenda e Ddamasiko okusisinkana Tigulasupireseri kabaka w’e Bwasuli, era eyo n’alabayo ekyoto ekyali mu Ddamasiko. Amangwago kabaka Akazi n’aweereza Uliya kabona ekifaananyi ky’ekyoto ekyo, n’engeri gye kiteekwa okuzimbibwa.
And he went the king Ahaz to meet Tiglath-pileser [the] king of Assyria Damascus and he saw the altar which [was] in Damascus and he sent the king Ahaz to Uriah the priest [the] likeness of the altar and pattern its for all work its.
11 Awo Uliya kabona n’azimba ekyoto, ng’ebiragiro bya kabaka Akazi bye yaweereza okuva e Ddamasiko bwe byali, era n’agimaliriza nga kabaka Akazi tannava Ddamasiko.
And he built Uriah the priest the altar according to all that he had sent the king Ahaz from Damascus so he did Uriah the priest until came the king Ahaz from Damascus.
12 Kabaka bwe yakomawo okuva e Ddamasiko, n’alaba ekyoto, n’akisemberera era ku kyo n’aweerako ssaddaaka.
And he came the king from Damascus and he saw the king the altar and he drew near the king to the altar and he offered up on it.
13 N’aweerayo ssaddaaka ey’ekyokebwa ne ssaddaaka ey’obutta n’ayiwako ne ssaddaaka ey’ekyokunywa, era n’amansirako omusaayi ogw’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe ku kyoto.
And he made smoke burnt offering his and grain offering his and he poured out drink offering his and he sprinkled [the] blood of the peace offerings which [belonged] to him on the altar.
14 N’aggyawo ekyoto eky’ekikomo ekyabeeranga mu maaso ga Mukama mu yeekaalu wakati w’ekyoto kye ne yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’akiteeka ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo obw’ekyoto kye.
And the altar of bronze which [was] before Yahweh and he brought near from with [the] face of the house from between the altar and from between [the] house of Yahweh and he put it on [the] side of the altar north-ward.
15 Awo kabaka Akazi n’alagira Uliya kabona nti, “Ku kyoto ekinene, weerayo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa eky’enkya n’ekiweebwayo eky’obutta eky’akawungeezi, eky’okuwaayo ekyokebwa ekya kabaka, n’ekyokuwaayo kye eky’obutta, n’ekyokuwaayo ekyokebwa eky’abantu ab’omu nsi, n’ekiweebwayo kyabwe eky’obutta, n’ekiweebwayo kyabwe ekyokunywa. Omansire ku kyoto omusaayi gwonna ogw’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, n’omusaayi gwonna ogwa ssaddaaka. Wabula ekyoto eky’ekikomo kinaabeeranga kyange nga kya kwebuuzaako.”
(And he commanded *Q(K)*) the king Ahaz Uriah the priest saying on the altar great make smoke [the] burnt offering of the morning and [the] grain offering of the evening and [the] burnt offering of the king and grain offering his and [the] burnt offering of all [the] people of the land and grain offering their and drink offerings their and all [the] blood of [the] burnt offering and all [the] blood of [the] sacrifice on it you will sprinkle and [the] altar of bronze it will belong to me to consult.
16 Uliya kabona n’akola byonna, nga kabaka Akazi bwe yamulagira.
And he did Uriah the priest according to all that he commanded the king Ahaz.
17 Kabaka Akazi n’atemako emigo gye biyimirirwako, ne bensani n’aziggya kwe zaabeeranga, ate n’aggya n’ennyanja okuva ku nte ennume ez’ekikomo, eza giwaniriranga, n’agiteeka ku mayinja amaliire.
And he cut off the king Ahaz the rims of the stands and he removed from on them (*Q(K)*) the laver and the sea he took down from on the ox[en] the bronze which [were] under it and he put it on a pavement of stone.
18 N’aggyawo n’ekyabikkanga ku kkubo erya ssabbiiti eryali lizimbiddwa okumpi ne yeekaalu, ate era n’aggyawo n’ekkubo erya kabaka ery’ebweru wa yeekaalu ya Mukama, olwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli.
And ([the] covered structure of *Q(K)*) the sabbath which people had built in the house and [the] entrance of the king outer he removed [the] house of Yahweh because of [the] king of Assyria.
19 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu bufuzi Akazi, ne bye yakola, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
And [the] rest of [the] matters of Ahaz which he did ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Judah.
20 Awo Akazi n’afa n’aziikibwa ku biggya bya bajjajjaabe mu kibuga kya Dawudi. Keezeekiya mutabani we n’amusikira okuba kabaka.
And he lay down Ahaz with ancestors his and he was buried with ancestors his in [the] city of David and he became king Hezekiah son his in place of him.
