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.”

And Elisha spake unto the woman whose son he had revived, saying, 'Rise and go, thou and thy household, and sojourn where thou dost sojourn, for Jehovah hath called for a famine, and also, it is coming unto 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 riseth, and doth according to the word of the man of God, and goeth, she and her household, and sojourneth 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 cometh to pass, at the end of seven years, that the woman turneth back from the land of the Philistines, and goeth out to cry unto the king, for her house, and for her field.

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 is speaking unto Gehazi, servant of the man of God, saying, 'Recount, I pray thee, to me, the whole of the great things that Elisha hath 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 cometh to pass, he is recounting to the king how he had revived the dead, and lo, the woman whose son he had revived is crying unto the king, for her house and for her field, and Gehazi saith, 'My lord, O king, this [is] the woman, and this her son, whom Elisha revived.'

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 the king asketh at the woman, and she recounteth to him, and the king appointeth to her a certain eunuch, saying, 'Give back all that she hath, and all the increase of the field from the day of her leaving the land even till 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 cometh in to Damascus, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram is sick, and it is declared to him, saying, 'The man of God hath come hither.'

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 saith unto Hazael, 'Take in thy hand a present, and go to meet the man of God, and thou hast sought Jehovah by him, saying, Do I revive from this sickness?'

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?’”

And Hazael goeth to meet him, and taketh a present in his hand, even of every good thing of Damascus, a burden of forty camels, and he cometh in and standeth before him, and saith, 'Thy son Ben-Hadad, king of Aram, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Do I revive from this sickness?'

10 Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Genda omutegeeze nti, ‘Ojja kuwona;’ naye Mukama akimbikulidde nti talirema kufa.”

And Elisha saith unto him, 'Go, say, Thou dost certainly not revive, seeing Jehovah hath shewed me that he doth surely die.'

11 N’amutunuulira n’amaaso ag’enkaliriza, okutuusa Kazayeeri bwe yakwatibwa ensonyi, omusajja wa Katonda n’atandika okukaaba.

And he setteth his face, yea, he setteth [it] till he is ashamed, and the man of God weepeth.

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 saith, 'Wherefore is my lord weeping?' and he saith, 'Because I have known the evil that thou dost to the sons of Israel — their fenced places thou dost send into fire, and their young men with sword thou dost slay, and their sucklings thou dost dash to pieces, and their pregnant women thou dost rip up.'

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 saith, 'But what, [is] thy servant the dog, that he doth this great thing?' And Elisha saith, 'Jehovah hath shewed me thee — king of Aram.'

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.”

And he goeth from Elisha, and cometh in unto his lord, and he saith unto him, 'What said Elisha to thee?' and he saith, 'He said to me, Thou dost certainly 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 cometh to pass on the morrow, that he taketh the coarse cloth, and dippeth in water, and spreadeth on his face, and he dieth, and Hazael reigneth 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 son of Ahab king of Israel — and Jehoshaphat [is] king of Judah — hath Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah reigned;

17 Yalina emyaka amakumi asatu mu ebiri, we yaliira obwakabaka, era n’afugira emyaka munaana mu Yerusaalemi.

a son of thirty and two years was he in his reigning, and eight years he hath reigned 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 walketh in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for a daughter of Ahab was to him for a wife, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah,

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.

and Jehovah was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David his servant, as He said to him, to give to him a lamp — to his sons all the days.

20 Mu mirembe gya Yekolaamu, Edomu ne bajeemera obufuzi bwa Yuda, ne bassaawo kabaka owaabwe.

In his days hath Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they cause a king to reign over them,

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.

and Joram passeth over to Zair, and all the chariots with him, and he himself hath risen by night, and smiteth Edom, that is coming round about unto him, and the heads of the chariots, and the people fleeth to its 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.

and Edom revolteth from under the hand of Judah till this day; then doth Libnah revolt at that 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 matters of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written on 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 lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of David, and reign doth Ahaziah his son 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 son of Ahab king of Israel reigned hath Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah;

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.

a son of twenty and two years [is] Ahaziah in his reigning, and one year he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Athaliah 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 walketh in the way of the house of Ahab, and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab, for he [is] 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 goeth with Joram son of Ahab to battle with Hazael king of Aram in Ramoth-Gilead, and the Aramaeans smite 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 Joram the king turneth back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds with which the Arameans smite him in Ramah, in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram, and Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah hath gone down to see Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, for he is sick.
