Eseza 2

1 Oluvannyuma, obusungu bwa Kabaka Akaswero bwe bwakkakkana, yasigala ng’alowooza ku Vasuti, kye yakola, n’ekyali kisaliddwawo.

Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea kuo ʻosi ʻae houhau ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, naʻa ne manatuʻi ʻa Vasiti, mo ia naʻa ne fai, mo ia naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ke fai kiate ia.

2 Awo abaddu ba Kabaka ne baleeta ekirowoozo nti, “Banoonyeze Kabaka omuwala ku bawala abato abalungi nga mbeerera.

Pea pehē ai ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻaia naʻe tauhi ia, “Tuku ke kumi he kau tāupoʻou hoihoifua maʻae tuʻi:

3 Kabaka alonde ababaka mu buli kitundu mu bwakabaka bwe, bamuleetere abawala abato ababalagavu abalungi mu lubiri lwe e Susani bakuumibwe mu nnyumba y’abakyala. Era Kegayi omulaawe wa Kabaka avunaanyizibwe abawala abo, ng’abawa ne by’okulungiya byonna bye beetaaga.

Pea ke fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻae kau matāpule ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻo hono puleʻanga, koeʻuhi ke nau tānaki ke fakataha kotoa pē ʻae kau tāupoʻou hoihoifua ki Susani ko e kolo fakaʻeiki, ki he fale ʻoe kau fefine, ki he tauhi ʻo Hekai, ko e tauhi fale ʻoe tuʻi, ʻaia ʻoku tauhi ʻae kau fefine: pea ke ʻatu kiate kinautolu ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakamaʻa:

4 Awo omuwala anasiimibwa kabaka, ye anafuuka Nnabagereka mu kifo kya Vasuti.” Ekirowoozo ekyo kyasanyusa kabaka, era n’akissa mu nkola.

Pea ʻilonga ʻae tāupoʻou ʻaia ʻe fiemālie ki ai ʻae tuʻi, tuku ia ke tuʻi fefine ko e fetongi ʻo Vasiti.” Pea naʻe fiemālie ʻae tuʻi ʻi he meʻa ko ia; pea naʻa ne fai ia.

5 Mu biro ebyo mu lubiri e Susani, waaliyo Omuyudaaya ow’omu kika kya Benyamini, erinnya lye Moluddekaayi, mutabani wa Yayiri, muzzukulu wa Simeeyi, muzzukulu wa Kiisi,

Pea naʻe ʻi Susani ko e kolo fakaʻeiki, ʻae Siu ʻe taha, ko Motekiai hono hingoa, ko e foha ʻo Saili, ko e foha ʻo Simi, ko e foha ʻo Kisi, ko e tangata Penisimani:

6 eyawaambibwa Nebukadduneeza, Kabaka we Babulooni n’aleetebwa mu buwaŋŋanguse nga y’omu ku basibe abaasibibwa ne Yekoniya, eyali Kabaka wa Yuda, okuva e Yerusaalemi.

‌ʻAia naʻe fetuku mei Selūsalema, ʻi he fakapōpula ʻaia naʻe fetuku ki he mamaʻo mo Sekonia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻe fetuku ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻo ʻave ki he mamaʻo.

7 Moluddekaayi yalina omuwala omuto erinnya lye Kadasa, gwe yalinako oluganda, eyakulira mu mikono gye, kubanga yali mulekwa nga yafiirwa kitaawe ne nnyina. Erinnya ly’omuwala ono eddala nga ye Eseza, era yali ng’alabika bulungi nnyo.

Pea naʻa ne ohi ʻa Hatasa, ʻaia ko Eseta, ko e ʻofefine ʻo hono tuʻasina: he naʻe ʻikai haʻane tamai pe faʻē, pea naʻe matamatalelei mo hoihoifua ʻae tāupoʻou, ʻaia naʻe ohi ʻe Motekiai ʻi he pekia ʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē, ʻo ne ʻofefine ʻaki ia.

8 Awo olwatuuka ekiragiro kya Kabaka bwe kyalangirirwa, abawala bangi, nga ne Eseza mwali ne baleetebwa mu lubiri e Susani ne bakwasibwa Kegayi eyali alabirira abakyala ba Kabaka.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ongoʻi ʻae fekau ʻae tuʻi mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni, pea kuo fakakātoa ʻae kau taʻahine tokolahi ki Susani ko e kolo fakaʻeiki, ki he tauhi ʻo Hekai, naʻe ʻomi foki ʻa Eseta ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi, ki he tauhi ʻo Hekai, ko e tauhi ʻoe kau fefine.

9 Eseza n’asiimibwa Kegayi, era n’amuwa ebintu eby’okulungiya, n’emmere ey’enjawulo. Era yamuwa n’abazaana musanvu abaalondebwa okuva mu lubiri lwa Kabaka, era n’amuteeka mu kifo ekisinga obulungi awakuumibwa abakyala.

Pea naʻe fiemālie ia ki he taʻahine, pea naʻa ne ʻofeina ia: pea naʻa ne ʻatu leva kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa maʻa ʻene fakamaʻa ia, fakataha mo e ngaahi meʻa naʻe kau tonu kiate ia, mo e kau taʻahine ʻe toko fitu, ʻaia naʻe taau ke foaki kiate ia, mei he fale ʻoe tuʻi: pea naʻa ne tomuʻa fili ia mo ʻene kau taʻahine ki he potu lelei lahi ʻoe fale ʻoe kau fefine.

10 Eseza yali tamanyiddwa ggwanga lye, wadde ekika kye, kubanga Moluddekaayi yali amugaanye okulyogera.

Naʻe teʻeki ai fakahā ʻe Eseta hono kakai pe ko hono kāinga: he naʻe fekau ia ʻe Motekiai ke ʻoua naʻa fakahā ia.

11 Buli lunaku Moluddekaayi yalagangako mu luggya lw’ennyumba ya bakyala okumanya ebyafanga ku Eseza.

Pea naʻe ʻeveʻeva ʻa Motekiai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻi he mata fale ʻoe lotoʻā ʻoe fale ʻoe kau fefine, ke ʻilo pe ʻoku fēfē ʻa Eseta, pea ko e hā ʻe fai kiate ia.

12 Awo oluwalo lwa buli muwala bwe lwatuukanga okugenda eri Kabaka Akaswero, omuwala oyo yalinanga okuba ng’amaze emyezi kkumi n’ebiri egy’okufumbirirwa, ng’era mu bbanga eryo, emyezi omukaaga aba ng’akozesa amafuta ag’omugavu n’emyezi omukaaga omulala nga yeyambisa obuwoowo n’ebintu ebirala ebifumbirira.

Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae lakanga ʻoe taʻahine kotoa pē ke hū ki loto ki he tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, hili ʻene nofo ʻi he māhina ʻe hongofulu ma ua, ʻo fakatatau ki he anga ʻae kau fefine, (he naʻe pehē pe hono fakaʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo honau fakamaʻa, ʻio, ʻae māhina ʻe ono mo e lolo ko e mula, mo e māhina ʻe ono mo e ngaahi meʻa namu kakala, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kehe ko e meʻa fakamaʻa ʻae kau fefine.)

13 Bw’atyo omuwala n’alyokanga agenda eri Kabaka. Omuwala bwe yatuukanga okugenda ewa Kabaka yabanga wa ddembe okuweebwa kyonna ky’ayagala okuva mu nnyumba y’abakyala.

Pea naʻe haʻu pehē pe ʻae taʻahine kotoa pē ki he tuʻi: ʻilonga ʻaia kotoa pē naʻa ne fili ke taungaʻaki mei he fale ʻoe kau fefine, ke ʻalu ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi, naʻe foaki ia kiate ia.

14 Yagendangayo kawungeezi, ate bwe bwakeeranga, n’addayo mu kifo ekirala era eky’abakyala ekyalabirirwanga Saasugazi, omulaawe wa Kabaka eyakuumanga abakyala ba Kabaka abalala. Era omuwala oyo teyaddanga wa Kabaka wabula ng’amusiimye, era ng’amutumizza.

Naʻe hū ki ai ia ʻi he efiafi, pea pongipongi ai naʻe liu mai ia ki hono ua ʻoe fale ʻoe kau fefine, ki he tauhi ʻa Seasikasi, ko e tauhi fale ʻae tuʻi, ʻaia naʻe tauhi ʻae kau sinifu: naʻe ʻikai te ne toe haʻu ki he tuʻi, ʻo kapau naʻe ʻikai fiemālie ʻae tuʻi ʻiate ia, pea ne ui ia ʻi hono hingoa.

15 Awo oluwalo lwa Eseza omuwala eyakuzibwa Moluddekaayi, ate nga muwala wa Abikayiri, eyalina oluganda ku Moluddekaayi, bwe lwatuuka okugenda eri Kabaka, Eseza talina birala bye yasaba okuggyako ebyo Kegayi, omulaawe wa Kabaka bye yamuwa. Era Eseza n’aganja mu maaso g’abo bonna abaamutunuulira.

Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae lakanga ʻo Eseta, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻApieli ko e tuʻasina ʻo Motekiai, ʻaia naʻa ne ohi ko hono ʻofefine, ke hū ia ki loto ki he tuʻi, naʻe ʻikai te ne fili ha meʻa ʻe taha ka ko e meʻa pe naʻe ʻatu kiate ia ʻe Hekai, ko e tauhi fale ʻae tuʻi, mo e haʻa tukauʻi ʻoe kau fefine. Pea naʻe ʻofeina ʻa Eseta ʻe he kakai kotoa pē naʻe mamata kiate ia.

16 Yatwalibwa eri Kabaka Akaswero mu lubiri lwe mu mwezi ogw’ekkumi, gwe mwezi Tebesi, mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu ogw’okufuga kwe.

Ko ia, naʻe ʻave ʻa Eseta ki he tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo ki hono fale fakatuʻi ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina, ʻaia ko e māhina ko Tipeti, ʻi hono fitu taʻu ʻo ʻene pule.

17 Kabaka n’ayagala nnyo Eseza okukira abakyala abalala bonna, era n’aganja mu maaso ge okusinga abawala embeerera bonna. N’amutikkira engule okuba Nnabagereka mu kifo kya Vasuti.

Pea naʻe ʻofa lahi ʻae tuʻi kia Eseta ʻi he kau fefine kotoa pē, pea naʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae lelei mo e angaʻofa ʻi hono ʻao ʻo lahi hake ʻi he kau tāupoʻou kotoa pē; ko ia naʻa ne ʻai ai ʻae tatā fakatuʻi ki hono ʻulu, pea fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi fefine ko e fetongi ʻo Vasiti.

18 Awo Kabaka n’akolera Eseza embaga ennene, n’ayita abakungu be wamu n’abaami be, era n’alangirira abantu okusonyiyibwa emisolo mu bitundu byonna, ate n’agaba n’ebirabo nga bwe yayagala.

Pea naʻe fai ai ʻe he tuʻi ʻae kātoanga lahi ki heʻene ngaahi houʻeiki kotoa pē mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻio, ko e kātoanga ʻo Eseta: pea naʻa ne fai ʻae vetepōpula ʻi hono ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻo ne fai ʻae ngaahi foaki, ʻo taau mo e monūʻia ʻoe tuʻi.

19 Olunaku olumu Moluddekaayi bwe yali ng’atudde ku wankaaki w’olubiri lwa Kabaka, abawala ne bakuŋŋaanira eri Kabaka omulundi ogwokubiri.

Pea ʻi he fakakātoa ʻae kau taʻahine ko hono liunga ua, naʻe toki nofo ai ʻa Motekiai ʻi he matapā ʻoe tuʻi.

20 Eseza yakuuma ekyama Moluddekaayi kye yali amukuutidde, eky’obutayogera ekika kye newaakubadde eggwanga lye.

Pea naʻe teʻeki ai fakahā ʻe Eseta ʻa hono kāinga pe ko hono kakai: ʻo hangē ko e fekau pau ʻe Motekiai kiate ia: he naʻe fai ʻe Eseta ki he fekau ʻa Motekiai kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa ne fai ʻi heʻene kei tauhi ia.

21 Awo mu biro ebyo Moluddekaayi ng’atudde ku wankaaki wa Kabaka, abalaawe ba Kabaka babiri, Bigusani ne Teresi, ku abo abaakuumanga omulyango, ne banyiigira Kabaka Akaswero, era ne bateesa okumutemula.

ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, lolotonga ʻene nofo ʻa Motekiai ʻi he matapā ʻoe tuʻi, naʻe ʻita ʻae tauhi ʻe toko ua ʻae tuʻi, ko Pikitani mo Telesi, ʻiate kinautolu naʻe tauhi ʻae matapā, ʻo na kumi ke ala ki he tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo.

22 Naye Moluddekaayi n’agwa mu lukwe olwo, n’ategeezaako Eseza Nnabagereka, eyagenda n’abuulira Kabaka nga Moluddekaayi bwe yamutegeeza.

Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni ʻe Motekiai, ʻaia naʻe tala ia kia Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine, pea fakahā ia ʻe Eseta ki he tuʻi ʻi he hingoa ʻo Motekiai.

23 Awo ekigambo ekyo bwe baakyekenneenya, ne kirabika nga kituufu, abasajja abo bombi ne bawanikibwa ku kalabba. Awo ebigambo bino byonna ne biwandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyafaayo ebya buli lunaku mu maaso ga Kabaka.

Pea ʻi he fai ʻae ʻeke ki he meʻa ni, naʻe ʻilo hono moʻoni: ko ia naʻe tautau ai ʻakinaua fakatouʻosi ki ha ʻakau: pea naʻe tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala meʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi.
