Ebizibu kyabazinga Asa bye yafuna ni Isiraeli
(1 Bakyab 15:17-22)
1Mu mwaka ogwasatu n’omukaaga (36) nga kyabazinga Asa n’afuga Buyudaaya, kyabazinga Baasha owa Isiraeli yaalumba Buyudaaya. Yaazimba ekimante ekigumu okwezunguluza ekibuga Rama, ghalobe kubaagho ava mu Buyudaaya, waire ajaayo okutuuka ku kyabazinga waayo Asa. 2Agho Asa yaatoola feeza ni zaabu mu iterekero ly’eisinzizo, ni mu iterekero erirye nga kyabazinga, yaamugheereza kyabazinga Benihadadi ow’e Siria, eyabanga mu Damasiko, ng’amukoba ati: 3“Ka tukole endagaano ey’enkolagana ey’aghalala, nga balata baife ye baakola. Bona eno, nkugheereiza feeza ni zaabu. Ja omenhegho endagaano yo ey’enkolagana ni kyabazinga Baasha owa Isiraeli, olwo abe ng’ali n’okutoola amagye ge mu kiketezo kyange.”
4Benihadadi yaaganha kyabazinga Asa bye yamukoba. Yaatuma abaduumizi b’eigye lye okulumba ebibuga bya Isiraeli. Baagema ebibuga bino: Iyoni, ni Dani, ni Abeli Maimu, n’ebibuga bya Nafutali byonabyona ebyalimu amaterekero. 5Kyabazinga Baasha bwe yawulira ebigwiregho, yaalekera agho okuzimba ekimante ekigumu okwezunguluza ekibuga Rama, yaakomya agho omulimo ogwo. 6Agho kyabazinga Asa yaatwala abantu ab’omu Buyudaaya boonaboona, baaja baatoola e Rama amabaale n’emiti, Baasha bye yali ali kuzimbisa. Asa yaabizimbisa ebibuga, Geba ni Mizipa.

7Mu kiseera ekyo, omulanzi Hanani yaaja ye kyabazinga Asa owa Buyudaaya, yaamukoba ati: “Olw’okuba weesiga kyabazinga wa Siria, waaloba kwesiga Musengwa Katonda wo, eigye lya Isiraeli likweibyeku lyakulumukaku. 8Abaethiopia n’Abalibiya tibaali igye inene inho, nga liri n’ebigaali eby’omu lutalo n’abavuzi b’embalaasi kamaala? Aye olw’okuba weesiga Musengwa Katonda, Musengwa Katonda oyo yaakuleetera okubaghangula. 9Musengwa Katonda abona mu nsi mwonamwona buli kiseera, asobole okugha amaani abo ab’emyoyo egimwesiga. Kale kino ky’okoze kya kisiru. Okuva n’olwaleero oidha kubanga mu kulwana ntalo.” 10Agho Asa yaasungughalira inho omulanzi oyo olw’ebyo bye yayogera, yaamugema yaamuta mu ikomera. Mu biseera n’ebirala ebyo, Asa oyo yaabisanga bubi n’obukambwe abantu abandi.
