Olutalo n’abantu ab’omu Edomu
1Ebyo nga biwoire, Abamoabu, n’Abammoni, ghalala n’abandi ku Bameuni, baidha baalumba Yehoshafati okumulwanisa. 2Ghaidhagho abakwenda baakoba Yehoshafati bati: “Eigye einene liidhie okukulumba nga liva mu Edomu, ere ng’osomoike Enhandha Eyomuunhu. Era mpegaano liri Hazazoni Tamari ekyo era nga n’ekiketezo ekyetebwa Engedi.” 3Yehoshafati yaatya, yaasaba Musengwa Katonda ng’amweghemba, era yaalangirira ghabeegho okusiiba mu Buyudaaya mwonamwona. 4Abantu baava mu bibuga bya Buyudaaya byonabyona, beesoloza okusaba Musengwa Katonda abayambe.
5Agho Yehoshafati yaayemerera mu maiso g’abantu b’omu Buyudaaya n’ab’omu Yerusalemu abaali beesololeiza emberi gh’oluya oluyaaka olw’eisinzizo. 6Yaasaba ati: “Wo Musengwa Katonda, Katonda wa badhaadha baife, iwe oba eyo mu igulu waafuga obwakyabazinga obw’amaghanga goonagoona. Oli n’obuyinza n’amaani, era ghazira asobola kukutakania. 720:7: Isa 41:8; Yak 2:23 Wo Katonda waife, iwe wabinga mu nsi eno abantu abaagirimu ng’abantu bo Abaisiraeli bali kumpi okutuukayo. Waagigha baidhukulu ba mukagwa wo Aburahamu, ebenga yaibwe lubeerera. 8Era bagibairemu baakuzimbira n’eisinzizo ery’okukusinzizangamu, nga bakoba bati, 9‘Akabi bwe kanaatutuukangaku, ka lube olutalo, oba okusalirwa omusango, oba obulwaire obubi, oba endhala, twidha kwemereranga mu maiso go emberi gh’eisinzizo lino kuba agho ghe twidha twakusinza, twakukobera nga bwe tudaazibwadaazibwa, era iwe waatuwulirisa waatuwonia.’
1020:10: Ma 2:4-19 “Mpegaano bona, Abammoni, n’Abamoabu, n’abantu ab’oku lusozi Seiri batulumbye. Ate nga badhaadha baife bwe baava mu nsi Misiri, tiwabaganha kulumba bantu abo. Badhaadha baife baabita ghala n’abantu abo, baaloba kuseeta ye bali era baaloba kubazikiriza. 11Buti bali kutusasulamu na kutubinga mu nsi ye watugha okubanga obutaka bwaife. 12Wo Katonda waife, babonereze, kuba ife tuzira maani ga kulwanisa igye inene lino eritulumbye. Titwidhi kya kukola, aye tulingiriire ku iwe.”
13Mu kiseera n’ekirala ekyo, abasaadha boonaboona ab’omu Buyudaaya baali beemereire agho ni bakazi baibwe, n’abaana baibwe. 14Agho omwoyo gwa Musengwa Katonda gwaidha ku Mulevi eyali mu bantu abaali beesololeiza agho. Omulevi oyo ng’ayetebwa Yahazieli mutabane wa Zekaria, Zekaria mutabane wa Benaia, Benaia mutabane wa Yeieli, Yeieli mutabane wa Mattania, owundi ku baana ba Asafu. 1520:15-17: Ma 20:1-4 Yahazieli oyo yaakoba ati: “Isebantu kyabazinga Yehoshafati, n’imwe mwenamwena abantu ab’omu Buyudaaya ni mu Yerusalemu, muwulirise: Musengwa Katonda akoba ati, mutatya, era eigye lino einene litabamalamu maani, kuba olutalo luno ti niimwe mwidha okululwana, aye Katonda mwene n’aidha okululwana. 16Olwaidho imwe muje mubalumbe. Mwidha kubabona nga bali kuniinaniina ghale aghaingirirwa mu Zizi, olwo mubaagaane ekiiko ghe kikoma, aghatandiikira eirungu ery’e Yerueli. 1720:17: Kuv 14:13-14 Tikiidha kubeetaagisa imwe kulwana lutalo luno. Imwe mwetegeke, mwemerere bwemerere, olwo mubone obughanguzi Musengwa Katonda bw’anaabagha. Imwe abantu ab’omu Buyudaaya n’ab’omu Yerusalemu, mutatya era mutawaamu maani. Olwaidho imwe muje mubalumbe, Musengwa Katonda aidha kuba ghalala n’imwe.”
18Agho Yehoshafati yaakuba amakiryaivu era yaakutama n’ekyeni kyatuuka ku itaka. N’abantu boonaboona ab’omu Buyudaaya n’ab’omu Yerusalemu baakuba amakiryaivu mu maiso ga Musengwa Katonda, baamusinza. 19Abalevi abasimuka mu Kohathi ni mu Kora, baayemerera, baasaaka Musengwa Katonda, Katonda wa Isiraeli mu mamiro ag’amaani einho.
20Bwe bwakya, baasituka ku nkyo okuja mu irungu ly’e Tekoa. Bwe baali bali kuja, Yehoshafati yaayemerera, yaakoba ati: “Imwe abantu ab’omu Buyudaaya n’ab’omu Yerusalemu, mumpulirise. Mwikirize Musengwa Katonda waimwe, olwo mwidha kuba bagumu. Mwikirize eby’abalanzi be, olwo mwidha kughangula.” 21Bwe yamala okwebuuzaaku ku bantu, yaataagho ab’okwembera Musengwa Katonda okumusaaka, nga bavaire ebivaalo eby’emikolo emitukuvu. Abo baakulemberamu eigye, baaja nga bemba bati:
“Musaake Musengwa Katonda,
kuba okugonza kwe tikukoma, kubaagho byanda na byanda.”
22Bwe baatoolera okwemba n’okusaaka, Musengwa Katonda yaazinduukiriza Abammoni, n’Abamoabu, n’abantu ab’oku lusozi Seiri, abaali balumbye Buyudaaya eigye lyaibwe lyagumbulukuka. 23Abammoni n’Abamoabu baalumba abantu ab’oku lusozi Seiri, baabaita okubasaaniagho. Era bwe baamala okubasaaniagho, olwo boonaboona baatoolera okwitagana beene na beene. 24Abayudaaya bwe baatuuka ku kituuti ekirengererwaku eky’omu mu irungu, baalengeza eri eigye ery’abazigu eribaire einene. Baabona nga boonaboona mirambo egigwire agho, era ghazira muntu awoniegho.
25Yehoshafati n’abantu be bwe baajaayo okutoolayo omunhago, baayagaanayo eby’obukombe kamaala, n’engoye, n’ebintu eby’omughendo, baatwalaku bye baasobola, ebindi byabalemeragho. Baamala enaku isatu nga bakaasomba omunhago ogwo, kuba gwali mungi. 26Ku lunaku olwokuna beesololeza mu kiiko kya Beraka, baasaaka Musengwa Katonda. Era okuva ku olwo ekifo ekyo kyayetebwanga ekiiko kya Beraka. 20:26: Beraka: Eriina lino mu Luheburayi litegeeza “Kusaaka.” 27Agho Yehoshafati yaakulembera abantu boonaboona ab’omu Buyudaaya n’ab’omu Yerusalemu, bairayo e Yerusalemu nga basangaavu, kuba Musengwa Katonda yaghangula abazigu baibwe. 28Bwe baatuuka e Yerusalemu, baaja mu isinzizo nga bali kukuba entongooli n’endingidi, eno nga bwe bafuuwa n’amagwala. 29Abantu ab’omu bwakyabazinga obw’ensi dhoonadhoona bwe baawulira nga Musengwa Katonda alwaniisa abazigu ba Isiraeli, baatya inho Katonda oyo. 30Kale obwakyabazinga bwa Yehoshafati bwaba bwa miraala, kuba Katonda yamugha emiraala ku ndhuyi dhoonadhoona.
Enkomerero ey’obufuzi bwa Yehoshafati
(1 Bakyab 22:41-50)
31Yehoshafati yafuuka kyabazinga wa Buyudaaya ng’agheza emyaka amakumi asatu n’etaanu egy’obukulu, era yaafugira entangama ya myaka amakumi abiri n’etaanu mu Yerusalemu. Inhina yali nga ni Azuba, mughala wa Shilihi. 32Yehoshafati oyo yali wa mpisa nkalamu era nga tadhivaaku, ng’oti ni lata we Asa bweyali. Yaakolanga ebirungi Musengwa Katonda by’asiima. 33Aye ebifo ebigulumivu eby’okusinzizaamu tiyabitoolagho. Abantu baasigala nga bakaali kwemalira ku kugheereza Katonda wa badhaadha baibwe.
34Ebindi byonabyona Yehoshafati bye yakola, okuva lwe yatoolera okufuga okutuuka lwe yakoma, byaghandiikibwa mu kitabo kya Yehu mutabane wa Hanani, era byamala byaingizibwa mu kitabo eky’Ebyafaayo bya Bakyabazinga ba Isiraeli.
35Ebyo nga biwoire, kyabazinga Yehoshafati oyo owa Buyudaaya, yeeyimba ni kyabazinga Ahazia owa Isiraeli eyakola ebibi kamaala. 36Baakola naye amaato ag’okujanga e Tarushishi, nga bagakolera mu Ezionigeberi. 37Agho Eliezeri mutabane wa Dodavahu ow’e Maresha, yaalanga ng’alabula Yehoshafati ati: “Nga bwe weeyimbye ni Ahazia, Musengwa Katonda aidha kuzikiriza by’okoze.” Kale amaato ago gaamenhekera mu nhandha, gaaloba kusobola kuja e Tarushishi.
