2 Berɛsosɛm 21

1 Ɛberɛ a Yehosafat wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ nʼagyanom nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom. Na ne babarima Yehoram dii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.

Awo Yekosafaati ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi; Yekolaamu mutabani we n’amusikira.

2 Yehoram nuanom mmarima a na wɔyɛ Yehosafat mmammarima foforɔ bi no ne Asaria, Yehiel, Sakaria, Asaria, Mikael ne Sefatia.

Yekolaamu yalina baganda be, batabani ba Yekosafaati, nga be ba Azaliya, ne Yekyeri, ne Zekkaliya, ne Azaliya, ne Mikayiri ne Sefatiya. Abo bonna bali baana ba Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda.

3 Wɔn agya maa wɔn mu biara akyɛdeɛ a ɛsom bo, a ɛyɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne aboɔdenneɛ, na afei, ɔde Yuda nkuro a wɔabɔ ho ban no bi kyekyɛɛ wɔn. Na ɛsiane sɛ Yehoram yɛ abakan enti, ɔbɛyɛɛ ɔhene.

Kitaabwe yabawa eby’obugagga bingi, ebya ffeeza ne zaabu, n’ebintu eby’omuwendo ebirala, wamu n’ebibuga ebiriko bbugwe mu Yuda, naye obwakabaka n’abuwa Yekolaamu kubanga ye yali omuggulanda.

4 Na ɛberɛ a Yehoram ahennie timiiɛ no, ɔkunkumm ne nuammarima no nyinaa ne Israelfoɔ ntuanofoɔ bi.

Awo Yekolaamu bwe yamala okwenywereza ddala ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka, n’atta baganda be bonna n’ekitala, era n’abakungu abamu aba Isirayiri.

5 Ɛberɛ a Yehoram dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduasa mmienu. Na ɔdii adeɛ Yerusalem mfirinhyia nwɔtwe.

Yekolaamu yalina emyaka amakumi asatu mu ebiri we yafuukira kabaka, era n’afugira emyaka munaana mu Yerusaalemi.

6 Na 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.

N’atambulira mu makubo ga bakabaka ba Isirayiri, ng’ennyumba ya Akabu bwe yakolanga, era n’okuwasa n’awasa muwala wa Akabu. N’akola eby’ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama.

7 Nanso, na Awurade mpɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Dawid ahennie nnidisoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔne Dawid ayɛ apam ahyɛ bɔ sɛ, nʼasefoɔ bɛkɔ so adi ɔhene afebɔɔ.

Newaakubadde ng’ebyo byonna byali bwe bityo, Mukama teyayagala kusaanyaawo nnyumba ya Dawudi, kubanga yali akoze endagaano ne Dawudi, ate ng’asuubizza okukuuma ettabaaza ye n’eya bazzukulu be ng’eyaka emirembe gyonna.

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

Mu biro bya Yekolaamu Edomu n’ajeemera okufuga kwa Yuda ne beeteekerawo kabaka owaabwe.

9 Enti, Yehoram de akodɔm ne ne nteaseɛnam nyinaa kɔto hyɛɛ Edom so. Edomfoɔ twaa ɔno ne ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ ho hyiaeɛ, nanso ɔfaa anadwo sum mu dwaneeɛ.

Awo Yekolaamu n’agendayo n’abakungu be n’amagaali ge gonna. Abayedomu ne bamutaayiza ye n’abaduumizi ab’amagaali ge mu kiro, naye n’abagolokokerako n’abakuba.

10 Edom ade ne ho a ɔnhyɛ Yuda ase de bɛsi ɛnnɛ. Saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu, Libna kuro tee atua, ɛfiri sɛ, na Yehoram atwe ne ho afiri Awurade, nʼagyanom Onyankopɔn ho.

Okuva ku olwo Edomu ne bajeemera Yuda n’okutuusa leero. Mu kiseera ekyo Libuna naye ne n’amujeemera, kubanga Yekolaamu yali avudde ku Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabe.

11 Na wasisi abosonsomfoɔ asɔreeɛ wɔ Yuda mmepɔ asase so, ama nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem ne Yuda akɔsom abosonsomfoɔ anyame.

Yali azimbye n’ebifo ebigulumivu ku nsozi za Yuda, era ng’aleetedde n’abatuuze ba Yerusaalemi obutaba beesigwa, nga ne Yuda bawabye.

12 Na odiyifoɔ Elia twerɛɛ saa krataa yi kɔmaa Yehoram: “Asɛm a Awurade, wʼagya Dawid Onyankopɔn seɛ nie: ‘Woanni wʼagya Yehosafat anaa wo nana Yudahene Asa nhwɛsoɔpa so.

Yekolaamu n’afuna ebbaluwa okuva eri Eriya nnabbi ng’egamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wa jjajjaawo Dawudi nti, ‘Olw’obutatambulira mu makubo ga kitaawo Yekosafaati, wadde mu makubo ga Asa kabaka wa Yuda,

13 Mmom, woayɛ omumuyɛfoɔ sɛ Israel ahemfo. Woama Yerusalemfoɔ ne Yudafoɔ akɔsom ahoni te sɛ deɛ ɔhene Ahab yɛɛ wɔ Israel no. Na mpo, woakunkum wʼankasa wo nuanom mmarima a na wɔdi mu sene wo.

naye n’otambulira mu kkubo lya bakabaka ba Isirayiri, n’oleetera Yuda n’abantu b’e Yerusaalemi obutaba beesigwa, ng’ennyumba ya Akabu bwe yakola, era n’otta ne baganda bo ab’ennyumba ya kitaawo, abaali bakusinga empisa,

14 Enti afei, Awurade de ɔhaw kɛseɛ bɛba wo, wo nkurɔfoɔ, wo mma, wo yerenom ne biribiara a ɛyɛ wo dea so.

Mukama kyaliva aleeta kawumpuli ow’amaanyi, ku bantu bo, n’abaana bo, n’abakyala bo, ne ku bintu byo byonna,

15 Wʼankasa deɛ, wɔde nsono mu yadeɛ a ɛyɛ ya yie bɛto wo so kɔsi sɛ wʼayamudeɛ bɛtu apue.’”

ate naawe olirwala obulwadde obw’amaanyi mu lubuto, erireetera ebyenda byo okuvaayo, buli lunaku.’”

16 Na Awurade kaa Filistifoɔ ne Arabfoɔ a na wɔte bɛn Etiopiafoɔ so sɛ wɔnkɔto nhyɛ Yehoram so.

Awo Mukama n’asitusa obusungu bw’Abafirisuuti n’Abawalabu abaabeeranga okumpi n’Abaesiyopiya eri Yekolaamu,

17 Wɔbɔɔ nsra kɔɔ Yuda so, kɔbubuu ne banbɔdeɛ nyinaa, foo aboɔden nneɛma a ɛwɔ ahemfie hɔ a ne mmammarima ne ne yerenom ka ho. Ne babarima kumaa Yehoahas nko na wɔgyaa no.

ne balumba Yuda, ne bakiwangula, ne batwala ebintu byonna ebyali mu lubiri lwa kabaka, ne batabani be, ne bakazi be, ne wataba mutabani we n’omu eyalekebwa okuggyako Yekoyakaazi, omuggalanda.

18 Yei akyi na Awurade maa nsono mu yadeɛ a ano yɛ den bɔɔ Yehoram.

Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo byonna, Mukama n’aleetako Yekolaamu obulwadde obutawonyezeka obw’omu lubuto.

19 Ɛberɛ no mu ara, mfeɛ mmienu akyi, yadeɛ no maa nʼayamdeɛ pueeɛ, na ɔwuu ɔyea mu. Ne nkurɔfoɔ ammɔ ogyatannaa kɛseɛ, amfa anhyɛ no animuonyam wɔ nʼayiyɛ mu sɛdeɛ wɔyɛ maa nʼagyanom no.

Awo ebiro bwe byayitawo, nga wayiseewo emyaka ebiri, ebyenda bye ne bitanula okumuvaamu, olw’obulwadde, n’afa mu bulumi bungi. Abantu be ne batamukumira lumbe, nga bwe baali bakoledde bajjajjaabe.

20 Yehoram dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduasa mmienu, na ɔdii adeɛ Yerusalem mfirinhyia nwɔtwe. Ɔwuiɛ no, anyɛ obiara awerɛhoɔ. Wɔsiee no Dawid kurom, nanso ɛnyɛ adehyeɛ asieeɛ.

Yekolaamu yali wa myaka amakumi asatu mu ebiri bwe yatandika okuba kabaka, era n’afugira mu Yerusaalemi emyaka munaana. Okufa kwe tekwaleetera muntu n’omu kwejjusa, n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi naye si ku biggya bya bassekabaka.
