2 Bassekabaka 8
1 Mu biro ebyo Erisa n’agamba omukazi gwe yazuukiriza mutabani we nti, “Golokoka ove wano ogende n’ab’omu nnyumba yo bonna mu nsi gy’oliyinza okubeeramu, kubanga Mukama alireeta ekyeeya mu nsi okumala emyaka musanvu.”
Then spoke Elisha to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go you and your household, and sojourn wherever you can sojourn: for the LORD has called for a famine; and it shall also come on the land seven years.
2 Omukazi n’asitukiramu n’akola ng’omusajja wa Katonda bwe yayogera, n’alaga ye n’ab’omu nnyumba ye mu nsi y’Abafirisuuti okumala emyaka musanvu.
And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
3 Oluvannyuma lw’emyaka omusanvu, n’akomawo okuva mu nsi y’Abafirisuuti, n’alaga eri kabaka okumwegayirira addizibwe ekibanja kye n’ennyumba ye.
And it came to pass at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land.
4 Mu kiseera ekyo kye kimu kabaka yali anyumyamu ne Gekazi omuweereza w’omusajja wa Katonda, nga kabaka amugambye nti, “Ntegeeza ebintu ebikulu byonna Erisa by’akoze.”
And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray you, all the great things that Elisha has done.
5 Awo Gekazi bwe yali ng’akyanyumiza kabaka, engeri Erisa bwe yazuukiza abafu, omukazi eyali ne mutabani we, Erisa gwe yazuukiza n’atuuka, okwegayirira kabaka ng’asaba ekibanja kye n’ennyumba ye. Gekazi n’ayogera nti, “Mukama wange kabaka, ono ye mukazi, era ne mutabani we Erisa gwe yazuukiza y’oyo.”
And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
6 Awo kabaka bwe yabuuza omukazi, n’amutegeeza nti bwe kyali. N’alyoka alagira omu ku bakungu amutereereze ensonga ze; n’amugamba nti, “Muddize buli kintu kyonna ekikye, n’obusuulu bwonna obwa kuŋŋaanyizibwa okuva mu kibanja kye okuva ku lunaku lwe yakivaamu okutuusa kaakano.”
And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.
7 Erisa n’agenda e Ddamasiko n’asanga Benikadadi kabaka w’e Busuuli ng’alwadde. Kabaka bwe yategeezebwa nti, “Omusajja wa Katonda atuuse mu kitundu,”
And Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come here.
8 n’agamba Kazayeeri nti, “Ffuna ekirabo, ogende osisinkane omusajja wa Katonda, weebuuze ku Mukama ng’oyita mu ye oba, ndiwona endwadde eno.”
And the king said to Hazael, Take a present in your hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
9 Kazayeeri n’agenda okusisinkana Erisa, n’amutwalira n’ebirabo eby’engeri zonna okuva e Ddamasiko, ku ŋŋamira amakumi ana. N’agenda n’ayimirira mu maaso ge, n’amugamba nti, “Mutabani wo Benikadadi kabaka w’e Busuuli antumye okukubuuza nti, ‘Ndiwona endwadde eno?’”
So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Your son Benhadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
10 Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Genda omutegeeze nti, ‘Ojja kuwona;’ naye Mukama akimbikulidde nti talirema kufa.”
And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, You may certainly recover: however, the LORD has showed me that he shall surely die.
11 N’amutunuulira n’amaaso ag’enkaliriza, okutuusa Kazayeeri bwe yakwatibwa ensonyi, omusajja wa Katonda n’atandika okukaaba.
And he settled his countenance steadfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.
12 Kazayeeri n’abuuza nti, “Kiki ekikaabya mukama wange?” Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Kubanga mmanyi obubi bw’olikola Abayisirayiri; olikuma omuliro ku bigo byabwe, n’otta abavubuka baabwe n’ekitala, n’osesebbulira abaana abato ku ttaka, era n’obaaga n’abakyala abali embuto.”
And Hazael said, Why weeps my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel: their strong holds will you set on fire, and their young men will you slay with the sword, and will dash their children, and rip up their women with child.
13 Awo Kazayeeri n’addamu nti, “Nze ani omuddu wo, embwa obubwa, ayinza okukola ekintu ng’ekyo?” Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Mukama akimbikulidde nti ggwe ogenda okubeera kabaka w’e Busuuli.”
And Hazael said, But what, is your servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD has showed me that you shall be king over Syria.
14 Awo n’ava mu maaso ga Erisa, n’addayo eri mukama we. Benikadadi n’amubuuza nti, “Erisa yakugambye ki?” Kazayeeri n’amuddamu nti, “Yaŋŋambye nti eky’amazima ojja kuwona.”
So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to you? And he answered, He told me that you should surely recover.
15 Naye olunaku olwaddirira, enkeera, n’addira ekiwero ekinene, n’akinnyika mu mazzi, n’akibikka ku maaso ga kabaka, okutuusa bwe yafa. N’oluvannyuma Kazayeeri n’alya obwakabaka mu kifo kye.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.
16 Mu mwaka ogwokutaano nga Yolaamu mutabani wa Akabu ye kabaka wa Isirayiri, Yekolaamu mutabani wa Yekosafaati, kabaka wa Yuda, n’atandika okufuga Yuda.
And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
17 Yalina emyaka amakumi asatu mu ebiri, we yaliira obwakabaka, era n’afugira emyaka munaana mu Yerusaalemi.
Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
18 Yekolaamu n’atambulira mu makubo ga bassekabaka ba Isirayiri ng’ab’ennyumba ya Akabu bwe baakola, n’okuwasa n’awasa omu ku bawala ba Akabu. N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama.
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.
19 Naye Mukama n’atazikiriza Yuda, ku lwa Dawudi omuddu we, gwe yasuubiza nti alireka ettabaaza ye ng’eyaka n’okutuusa ku bazzukulu be emirembe gyonna.
Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give him always a light, and to his children.
20 Mu mirembe gya Yekolaamu, Edomu ne bajeemera obufuzi bwa Yuda, ne bassaawo kabaka owaabwe.
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
21 Awo Yekolaamu n’asomoka n’agenda e Zayiri n’amagaali ge, n’agolokoka mu kiro n’abaduumizi be ne batta Abayedomu abaali bamuzingizza, olwo eggye lye ne lidduka okuddayo ewaabwe.
So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents.
22 Okuva mu kiseera ekyo Edomu n’ajeemera obufuzi bwa Yuda n’okutuusa ku lunaku lwa leero. Mu kiseera kye kimu ab’e Libuna nabo ne bajeema.
Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
23 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo ku mulembe gwa Yekolaamu, ne bye yakola byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
24 Yekolaamu n’afa n’aziikibwa ku biggya bya bajjajjaabe mu kibuga kya Dawudi. Akaziya mutabani we n’amusikira.
And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
25 Mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ebiri nga Yolaamu mutabani wa Akabu ye kabaka wa Isirayiri, Akaziya mutabani wa Yekolaamu kabaka wa Yuda, n’atandika okufuga Yuda.
In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.
26 Akaziya yalina emyaka amakumi abiri mu ebiri we yaliira obwakabaka, n’afugira omwaka gumu mu Yerusaalemi. Erinnya lya nnyina ye yali Asaliya, muzzukulu wa Omuli kabaka wa Isirayiri.
Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
27 N’atambulira mu makubo ga b’ennyumba ya Akabu n’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’ab’omu nnyumba ya Akabu bwe baakola, kubanga yali mukoddomi wa nnyumba ya Akabu.
And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab: for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab.
28 Akaziya n’agenda ne Yolaamu mutabani wa Akabu okutabaala Kazayeeri kabaka w’e Busuuli e Lamosugireyaadi, era eyo Abasuuli ne bafumitirayo Yolaamu, n’afunirayo ebiwundu.
And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramothgilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
29 Awo kabaka Yolaamu n’addayo e Yezuleeri okumujjanjaba ebiwundu Abasuuli bye baamuleetako ng’ali e Lama, bwe yali ng’alwanagana ne Kazayeeri kabaka w’e Busuuli. Akaziya mutabani wa Yekolaamu kabaka wa Yuda n’aserengeta e Yezuleeri okulaba ku Yolaamu mutabani wa Akabu, kubanga yali afumitiddwa ebiwundu.
And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
