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.”

Na Elisa aka akyerɛ ɔbaa a ɔnyanee ne ba no sɛ, “Wo ne wo fiefoɔ ntu nkɔ baabi foforɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade ahyɛ sɛ ɛkɔm mmra Israel mfeɛ nson.”

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.

Enti, ɔbaa no yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no hyɛeɛ no. Ɔfaa ne fiefoɔ kɔtenaa Filistifoɔ asase so mfeɛ nson.

3 Oluvannyuma lw’emyaka omusanvu, n’akomawo okuva mu nsi y’Abafirisuuti, n’alaga eri kabaka okumwegayirira addizibwe ekibanja kye n’ennyumba ye.

Ɛkɔm no twaa mu no, ɔsane baa Israel asase so, kɔhunuu ɔhene no sɛ ɔregye ne fie ne nʼasase.

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.”

Ɔbaa mu no, na ɔhene no ne Gehasi a ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no ɔsomfoɔ rekasa. Na ɔhene no rebisa sɛ: Ka nneɛma akɛseɛ a Elisa ayɛ no bi kyerɛ me.

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.”

Saa ɛberɛ no ara na na Gehasi reka nyane a Elisa nyanee abarimaa bi no ho asɛm akyerɛ no. Ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu, abarimaa no maame kɔɔ ɔhene no anim, kɔsrɛɛ ɔhene no fa nʼabisadeɛ no ho. Gehasi teaam sɛ, “Hwɛ, me wura! Ɔbaa no nie na ne babarima no nso nie—ɔno na Elisa nyanee no no!”

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.”

Ɔhene no bisaa ɔbaa no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ nokorɛ anaa?” Ɔbaa no buaa sɛ ɛyɛ ampa. Enti, ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ ne mpanimfoɔ no mu baako sɛ ɔnhwɛ na biribiara a wahwere no, wɔmfa mma no. Nʼafudeɛ a wɔtwaeɛ a na ɔnni hɔ nyinaa, wɔde maa no.

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,”

Na Elisa kɔɔ Damasko a ɛyɛ Aram kuropɔn no mu a na ɔhene Ben-Hadad yare da no. Obi ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no sɛ, “Onyankopɔn onipa no aba hɔ,”

8 n’agamba Kazayeeri nti, “Ffuna ekirabo, ogende osisinkane omusajja wa Katonda, weebuuze ku Mukama ng’oyita mu ye oba, ndiwona endwadde eno.”

ɛberɛ a ɔhene no tee saa asɛm no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Hasael sɛ, “Fa akyɛdeɛ kɔma Onyankopɔn onipa no. Na ka kyerɛ no, na ɔmmisa Awurade sɛ, ‘Me ho bɛtɔ me bio anaa?’”

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?’”

Na Hasael hyehyɛɛ nyoma aduanan so nnepa a ɛfiri Damasko, sɛ akyɛdeɛ a ɔde rekɔma Elisa. Ɔkɔɔ ne nkyɛn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo ɔsomfoɔ Ben-Hadad a ɔyɛ Aramhene asoma me wo nkyɛn sɛ, memmɛbisa sɛ ne ho bɛyɛ no den anaa.”

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

Na Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Wo ho bɛyɛ wo den.’ Nanso, Awurade ada no adi akyerɛ me sɛ, deɛ ɛbɛyɛ biara, ɔbɛwu.”

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

Elisa hwɛɛ Hasael anim, kɔsii sɛ Hasael yɛɛ basaa. Na Onyankopɔn onipa no hyɛɛ aseɛ suiɛ.

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.”

Hasael bisaa no sɛ, “Me wura, ɛyɛ ɛdeɛn asɛm? Elisa buaa sɛ, Menim nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu a wobɛyɛ Israelfoɔ. Wobɛhye wɔn nkuro a wɔabobɔ ho ban, akunkum wɔn mmeranteɛ, de wɔn mma nketewa adweradwera fam, apaapae apemfoɔ yafunu!”

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.”

Na Hasael buaa sɛ, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na me a mensɛ hwee yi, bɛtumi adi dwuma kɛseɛ a ɛte sɛɛ yi?” Nanso, Elisa buaa sɛ, “Awurade akyerɛ me sɛ, wo na wobɛyɛ Aramhene.”

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.”

Ɛberɛ a Hasael sane kɔeɛ no, ɔhene no bisaa no sɛ, “Asɛm bɛn na Elisa ka kyerɛɛ wo?” Hasael buaa sɛ, “Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, deɛ ɛbɛyɛ biara, wo ho bɛyɛ wo den.”

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.

Nanso, adeɛ kyeeɛ no, Hasael faa nnasoɔ, de nuu nsuo mu, de kataa ɔhene no anim, kɔsii sɛ ɔwuiɛ. Na Hasael sii nʼanan mu sɛ Aramhene.

16 Mu mwaka ogwokutaano nga Yolaamu mutabani wa Akabu ye kabaka wa Isirayiri, Yekolaamu mutabani wa Yekosafaati, kabaka wa Yuda, n’atandika okufuga Yuda.

Ɔhene Yehosafat babarima Yehoram bɛdii Yuda so ɛberɛ a ɔhene Yoram adi adeɛ wɔ Israel mfeɛ enum so. Na Yoram yɛ Ahab babarima.

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

Ɛberɛ a Yehoram dii ɔhene no, na wadi mfeɛ aduasa mmienu. Ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Yerusalem mfirinhyia nwɔtwe.

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.

Nanso, Yehoram yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Israel ahemfo yɛeɛ. Na ɔyɛ otirimuɔdenfoɔ te sɛ ɔhene Ahab, ɛfiri sɛ, na waware Ahab mmammaa no mu baako. Enti Yehoram yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so.

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.

Nanso, na Awurade mpɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Yuda, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔne Dawid ayɛ apam, ahyɛ bɔ sɛ, nʼasefoɔ na wɔbɛkɔ so adi ɔman no so afebɔɔ.

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

Yehoram berɛ so na Edomfoɔ sɔre tiaa Yuda, na wɔsii wɔn ankasa wɔn ɔhene.

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.

Enti, Yehoram faa ne nteaseɛnam nyinaa, kɔto hyɛɛ Sair kuro so. Edomfoɔ twaa ɔne ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ ho hyiaeɛ, nanso ɔfaa anadwo sum no mu dwaneeɛ. Yehoram akodɔm nso gyaa no hɔ dwaneeɛ.

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.

Edom ate Yuda so atua de bɛsi ɛnnɛ. Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu na Libna kuro nso sɔre tiaeɛ.

23 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo ku mulembe gwa Yekolaamu, ne bye yakola byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?

Nsɛm a ɛsisii wɔ Yehoram ahennie mu ne deɛ ɔyɛeɛ nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.

24 Yekolaamu n’afa n’aziikibwa ku biggya bya bajjajjaabe mu kibuga kya Dawudi. Akaziya mutabani we n’amusikira.

Ɛberɛ a Yehoram wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ ne mpanimfoɔ nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom. Na ne babarima Ahasia na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.

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.

Yehoram babarima Ahasia hyɛɛ aseɛ dii ɔhene Yuda wɔ ɔhene Yoram adedie wɔ Israel ne mfeɛ dumienu mu no mu. Na Ahab babarima ne ɔhene Yoram no.

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.

Ɛberɛ a Ahasia dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfeɛ aduonu mmienu, na ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Yerusalem afe. Ne maame ne Atalia a ɔyɛ Israelhene Omri nana.

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.

Ahasia dii amumuyɛsɛm, dii bɔne a ɔhene Ahab fiefoɔ yɛeɛ no anammɔn akyi. Ɔyɛɛ amumuyɛsɛm wɔ Awurade ani so ɛfiri sɛ, wɔbɔɔ ne din bataa awadeɛ a ɔkɔwaree Ahab efieni no ho.

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.

Ahasia de ne ho kɔbɔɔ Israelhene Yoram ho wɔ ne ko a ɔko tiaa Aramhene Hasael wɔ Ramot-Gilead no.

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.

Ɛberɛ a wɔpiraa ɔhene Yoram wɔ ɔko no mu no, ɔsane baa Yesreel sɛ ɔrebɛsa nʼapirakuro no. Ɛberɛ a Yoram wɔ hɔ no, Yudahene Ahasia kɔsraa no.
