1 Naʻe ngaohi ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ha meʻa fakatātā koula, ʻaia naʻe teau ma uofulu ʻae hanga ʻo hono māʻolunga, pea ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu ma ua; naʻa ne fokotuʻu ia ʻi he toafa ʻo Tula ʻi he vahe fonua ʻo Papilone.
Kabaka Nebukadduneeza n’abumbisa ekifaananyi ekya zaabu, obugulumivu mita amakumi abiri mu musanvu n’obugazi mita bbiri ne sentimita nsanvu, n’alagira kiteekebwe mu lusenyi lwa Dduula, mu ssaza ly’e Babulooni.
2 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Nepukanesa, ke fakataha ʻae houʻeiki hau mo e ngaahi pule, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, mo e ngaahi houʻeiki, mo e kau pule koloa, mo e kau tangata fakamatala fono, mo e kau fakamaau, pea mo e kau pule kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi fonua, ke nau haʻu ki he fakatapui ʻoe meʻa fakatātā ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa.
N’atumya abaamasaza, n’abaamagombolola, n’abemiruka, n’abawi b’amagezi, n’abawanika, n’abalamuzi, n’abakungu bonna ab’omu masaza, bajje ku mukolo ogw’okuwongera ekibumbe Kabaka Nebukadduneeza kye yabumbisa.
3 Ko ia naʻe fakataha ai ʻae houʻeiki hau, mo e ngaahi pule, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, mo e houʻeiki mo e kau pule koloa, mo e kau fakamatala fono, mo e kau fakamaau, pea mo e kau pule ʻoe ngaahi fonua, ki he fakatapui ʻoe meʻa fakatātā ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa; pea naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe meʻa fakatātā ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Nepukanesa.
Awo abaamasaza, n’abafuzi, n’abamateeka, n’abawi b’amagezi n’abawanika, n’abalamuzi, n’abakungu bonna ab’omu masaza, ne bakuŋŋaana ku mukolo ogw’okuwonga ekibumbe Kabaka Nebukadduneeza kye yabumbisa.
4 Pea naʻe kalanga mālohi ʻae tangata fekau; “ʻOku fekau kiate kimoutolu, ʻae kakai mo e ngaahi puleʻanga mo e kakai ʻi he lea kehekehe;
Awo omulanzi n’ayogerera waggulu mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Mulagiddwa, mmwe abantu, n’amawanga, n’abantu ab’ennimi eza buli ngeri,
5 ‌ʻoka mou ka fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe koaneti, mo e fangufangu, ʻae haʻape mo e sakipute, ʻae saliteli mo e lali, mo e ngaahi meʻa hiva kehekehe kotoa pē, te mou punou hifo, mo hū ki he meʻa fakatātā ʻaia kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa;
bwe munaawulira eddoboozi ly’akagombe, n’endere, n’ennanga, n’amadinda, n’ekidongo, n’ekkondeere, na buli ngeri yonna ey’ebivuga eby’amaloboozi, muteekwa okuvuunama musinze ekibumbe ekya zaabu Kabaka Nebukadduneeza kye yabumbisa.
6 Pea ko ia ʻe ʻikai punou mo hū, ʻe lī ia ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia ki he loto afi vela kakaha.”
Omuntu yenna atalivuunama n’akisinza, alisuulibwa mu kikoomi ekyaka omuliro.”
7 Ko ia ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia, ʻi he fanongo ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki he leʻo ʻoe koaneti mo e fangufangu, ʻae haʻape, mo e sakipute, ʻae saliteli, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa hiva kehekehe kotoa pē, naʻe punou hifo ʻo hū ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga, pea mo e ngaahi lea, ki he meʻa fakatātā koula ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa.
Awo amawanga gonna bwe baawulira eddoboozi ly’akagombe, n’endere, n’ennanga, n’amadinda, n’ekidongo, n’ekkondeere na buli ngeri yonna ey’ebivuga eby’amaloboozi, amawanga gonna n’ensi n’abantu ab’ennimi eza buli ngeri ne bavuunama ne basinza ekibumbe ekya zaabu Kabaka Nebukadduneeza kye yabumbisa.
8 Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ha niʻihi ʻoe kau Kalitia, ʻo talatalaakiʻi ʻae kau Siu.
Awo mu biro ebyo Abakaludaaya abamu ne bawawaabira Abayudaaya.
9 Naʻa nau lea ki he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa ʻo pehē, “ʻE tuʻi, ke ke moʻui ʻo taʻengata.
Ne bagenda eri Kabaka Nebukadduneeza ne bamugamba nti, “Wangaala, ayi kabaka!
10 Ko koe, ʻe tuʻi, kuo ke fai fono, koeʻuhi ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻaia ʻe fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe koaneti, mo e fangufangu, ʻae haʻape, mo e sakipute, ʻae saliteli, mo e lali, mo e meʻa hiva kehekehe ke ne punou hifo ʻo hū ki he meʻa fakatātā koula:
Ggwe ayi kabaka otaddewo etteeka, nti omuntu yenna anaawulira eddoboozi ly’akagombe, n’endere, n’ennanga, n’amadinda, n’ekidongo, n’ekkondeere na buli ngeri yonna ey’ebivuga eby’amaloboozi, ateekwa okuvuunama n’asinza ekifaananyi kya zaabu,
11 Pea ko ia ʻe ʻikai tōmapeʻe ʻo hū, ʻe lī ia ki he loto afi vela kakaha.
era buli atalivuunama n’akisinza alisuulibwa mu kikoomi ekyaka omuliro.
12 ‌ʻOku ai ʻae kau Siu niʻihi, ʻaia kuo ke fokotuʻu ke pule ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻi he potu ʻo Papilone, ko Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko; ko e kau tangata ni, ʻe tuʻi, kuo nau taʻetokanga kiate koe; ʻoku ʻikai te nau tauhiʻi ho ngaahi ʻotua, pe hū ki he meʻa fakatātā koula, ʻaia kuo ke fokotuʻu.”
Naye waliwo abamu ku Bayudaaya be walonda okuvunaanyizibwa ensonga ez’essaza ery’e Babulooni, era be ba Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego abatakuwulirirako ddala ayi kabaka. Tebaweereza bakatonda bo newaakubadde okusinza ekifaananyi ekya zaabu kye wabumbisa.”
13 Ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Nepukanesa ʻi heʻene houhau mo ʻene tuputāmaki ke ʻomi ʻa Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko. Ko ia naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae kau tangata ni ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi.
Awo Nebukadduneeza n’asunguwala nnyo n’alagira baleete Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego gy’ali; ne baleetebwa mu maaso ga kabaka.
14 Pea ne lea ʻa Nepukanesa, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku moʻoni, ʻe Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, ʻoku ʻikai te mou tauhiʻi ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻotua, pe hū ki he meʻa fakatātā koula ʻaia kuo u fokotuʻu?
Nebukadduneeza n’ababuuza nti, “Ebigambo bye mpulira bituufu nti mmwe Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego temuweereza bakatonda bange, newaakubadde okusinza ekifaananyi ekya zaabu kye nabumbisa?
15 Ko eni, kapau te mou tali ʻoka mou ka fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe koaneti, mo e fangufangu, ʻae haʻape, mo e sakipute, ʻae saliteli, mo e lali, mo e ngaahi meʻa hiva kehekehe kotoa pē, pea te mou punou ʻo hū ki he meʻa fakatātā ʻaia kuo u ngaohi; pehē ʻe lelei: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou hū, ʻe lī ʻakimoutolu ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia, ki he loto afi vela kakaha; pea ko hai ʻae ʻotua ko ia te ne fakahaofi ʻakimoutolu mei hoku nima?”
Kaakano, bwe munaawulira eddoboozi ly’akagombe, n’endere, n’ennanga, n’amadinda, n’ekidongo, n’ekkondeere na buli ngeri yonna ey’ebivuga eby’amaloboozi, mwetegeke okuvuunama n’okusinza ekifaananyi kye nabumbisa. Naye bwe mutaakisinze, ku ssaawa eyo yennyini munaasuulibwa mu kikoomi ekyaka omuliro, kale tulyoke tulabe katonda oyo anaayinza okubawonya mu mukono gwange.”
16 Pea naʻe tali ʻe Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, ʻo pehē ki he tuʻi, “ʻE Nepukanesa, ʻoku ʻikai te mau toe fifili pe ko e hā haʻamau tali kiate koe ʻi he meʻa ni.
Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego ne baddamu kabaka nti, “Ayi Nebukadduneeza, tekitugwanira kwewolereza mu maaso go ku nsonga eyo.
17 Kapau ʻoku pehē, ʻoku mālohi ʻa homau ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku mau tauhi ke fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei he afi vela kakaha, pea te ne fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei ho nima, ʻe tuʻi.
Bwe tunaasuulibwa mu kikoomi ekyaka omuliro, Katonda gwe tuweereza anaatuwonya ekikoomi ekyaka omuliro era anaatulokola mu mukono gwo, ayi kabaka.
18 Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, ke ke ʻilo pe ʻe tuʻi, ʻe ʻikai te mau tauhiʻi ho ngaahi ʻotua, pe hū ki he meʻa fakatātā koula ʻaia kuo ke fokotuʻu.”
Naye ne bwe kitaabe bwe kityo, twagala okimanye, ayi kabaka nga tetugenda kuweereza bakatonda bo, newaakubadde okusinza ekifaananyi ekya zaabu kye wabumbisa.”
19 Ko ia naʻe fonu ai ʻa Nepukanesa ʻi he houhau, pea naʻe kehe ʻae anga ʻo hono fofonga kia Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, ko ia naʻa ne lea ʻo fekau ke nau tafu ʻae afi ke liunga fitu hake ʻene vela ʻi heʻene faʻa vela.
Awo Nebukadduneeza ne yeeyongera okusunguwalira Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego, n’amaaso ge ne gaba masunguwavu nnyo ng’ajjudde obuswandi. N’alagira ekikoomi kyake emirundi musanvu okusinga ne bwe kyali kyase.
20 Pea ne fekau ki he kau tangata mālohi hake ʻi heʻene kongakau ke haʻi ʻa Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, pea lī ʻakinautolu ki he afi vela kakaha.
N’alagira abamu ku baserikale be ab’amaanyi okusiba Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego, n’oluvannyuma basuulibwe mu kikoomi ekyaka omuliro.
21 Ko ia naʻe haʻi ʻae kau tangata ni mo honau ngaahi kofutuʻa, mo honau ngaahi kofu loto, mo honau ngaahi tatā, pea naʻe lī ʻakinautolu ki he loto afi vela kakaha.
Amangwago ne basiba Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego, nga bambadde ebyambalo byabwe eby’ekitiibwa, ne seruwale zaabwe, n’eminagiro gyabwe n’engoye zaabwe endala, ne basuulibwa mu kikoomi ekyaka omuliro.
22 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he fekau ʻae tuʻi ke fai ke toʻotoʻo, pea mo ʻene vela ʻaupito ʻae afi, naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he ulo ʻoe afi ʻae kau tangata ko ia naʻe hiki hake ʻa Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko.
Olw’okubanga ekiragiro kya kabaka kyali kya mbagirawo nga n’ekyoto kyaka nnyo nnyini, ennimi ez’omuliro ne zitta abasajja abaasitula Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego.
23 Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolu ni, ko Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, ki he loto afi vela kakaha.
Awo abasajja abo abasatu Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego ne basuulibwa wakati mu kikoomi ekyaka omuliro nga basibiddwa.
24 Pea naʻe ofo ʻae tuʻi ko Nepukanesa, pea ne tuʻu hake fakavave, mo ne lea ʻo pehē, ki he kau tangata tokoni ʻi he pule, “ʻIkai naʻa tau lī ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolu kuo haʻi ki he loto afi?” Pea naʻa nau lea ʻo pehē ki he tuʻi, “ʻOku moʻoni, ʻe tuʻi.”
Awo Kabaka Nebukadduneeza, mu kwewuunya n’agolokoka mangu n’abuuza abakungu be nti, “Mu muliro tetwasuddemu abasajja basatu nga basibiddwa?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Bwe kyabadde, ayi kabaka.”
25 Pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Vakai, ʻoku ou mamata ki he kau tangata ʻe toko fā, ʻoku ʻataʻatā, pea ʻoku nau ʻeveʻeva ʻi he loto afi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha kovi kiate kinautolu, pea ko e anga ʻo hono toko fā, ʻoku hangē ia ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua.”
N’ayogera nti, “Naye nga ndaba abasajja bana nga basumuluddwa nga batambulira wakati mu muliro, nga tebaliiko kabi ke bakolebbwako, so n’owookuna ng’afaanana ng’omwana wa bakatonda.”
26 Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Nepukanesa ʻo ofi ki he matapā ki he afi vela kakaha, ʻo ne lea ʻo pehē, “ʻE Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua māʻolunga, mou hū mai pea haʻu ki heni.” Pea naʻe hū mai ʻa Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, mei he loto afi.
Nebukadduneeza n’alyoka asembera ku mulyango gw’ekikoomi ekyaka omuliro, n’ayogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki, ne Abeduneego, abaddu ba Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo, mufulume mujje wano.” Awo Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego ne bava mu muliro.
27 Pea naʻe mamata ʻe he houʻeiki hau, mo e ngaahi pule, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻae tuʻi, ʻi heʻenau fakataha, ki he kau tangata ni, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ke mālohi ʻae afi ki honau sino, pea naʻe ʻikai mahunuhunu ha tuʻoni louʻulu ʻe taha ʻi honau ʻulu, pea naʻe ʻikai ke fakakehe honau kofu, pea naʻe ʻikai ke hoko ʻae nanamu ʻoe afi kiate kinautolu.
Abaamasaza, n’abemiruka, n’abafuzi ab’ebitundu, n’abakungu ba kabaka ne bakuŋŋaana ne babeetegereza. Ne balaba ng’omuliro tegubookezza, so n’enviiri zaabwe nga tezisiridde, so n’engoye zaabwe nga tezookeddwa, so n’olusu lw’omuliro nga terubawunyako.
28 Pea naʻe lea ʻa Nepukanesa ʻo pehē, “ʻOku monūʻia ʻae ʻOtua ʻo Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, ʻaia kuo fekau ʻa ʻene ʻāngelo, pea kuo ne fakahaofi ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki naʻe falala kiate ia, pea kuo nau liliu ʻae lea ʻae tuʻi, ʻo fakahaofi ʻa honau sino, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau tauhi, pe hū ki ha ʻotua, ka ko honau ʻOtua pe.
Nebukadduneeza n’ayogera nti, “Katonda wa Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego atenderezebwe, aweerezza malayika we n’alokola abaddu be, abaamwesize, ne bajeemera ekiragiro kya kabaka, ne bawaayo obulamu bwabwe baleme okuweereza newaakubadde okusinza katonda yenna wabula Katonda waabwe bo.
29 Ko ia ʻoku ou fokotuʻu ʻae fono, ʻilonga ha kakai, pe ha puleʻanga, pe ha lea, ʻoku lea kovi ki he ʻOtua ʻo Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, ʻe tuʻutuʻu fakaikiiki ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ngaohi honau ngaahi fale ko e tuʻunga ʻotoʻota: koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai mo ha ʻOtua ʻe faʻa fakahaofi ʻo hangē ko eni.”
Noolwekyo nteeka etteeka nga buli muntu ow’eggwanga lyonna, na buli muntu ow’olulimi lwonna olwa buli ngeri alyogera obubi ku Katonda wa Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego, alitemebwatemebwa, n’ennyumba ye erimenyebwamenyebwa, kubanga tewali katonda mulala ayinza okuwonya mu ngeri eyo.”
30 Pea naʻe hakeakiʻi ʻe he tuʻi ʻa Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, ʻi he fonua ʻo Papilone.
Awo kabaka n’akuza Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego mu ssaza ery’e Babulooni.
