Ekitabo eky’Amateeka bakizuula
(2 Bakyab 22:3-20)
8Mu mwaka ogweikumi n’omunaana (18) nga kyabazinga Yosia n’afuga Buyudaaya, kyabazinga Yosia oyo bwe yamala okugogola ensi eyo n’eisinzizo n’abifuula ebirongoofu, yaatuma omughandiisi we Shafani mutabane wa Azalia, ni Maaseia omufuzi w’ekibuga, ni Yoa mutabane wa Yoahazi omukuumi w’ebighandiiko. Yaabakoba baje balongoose eisinzizo lya Musengwa Katonda we. 9Baaja eri Hilikia Omukulu wa Bakabona, baaghaayo empiiya edhaaleetebwa mu isinzizo, Abalevi abaigazi b’omulyango ogwingira mu isinzizo, dhe baasoloza ku bantu ba Manasse, n’aba Efuraimu, n’ab’ebiketezo ebindi byonabyona ebya Isiraeli, n’aba Yuda, n’aba Benjamini, n’ab’omu Yerusalemu. 10Baadhigemya abakozi abaalabiriranga omulimo ogw’okulongoosa eisinzizo, ate abo baadhighaayo okulongoosa eisinzizo lya Musengwa Katonda. 11Baadhisasula ababaadhi n’abazimbi n’abatemi b’amabaale, baguleku embaawo n’amabaale amateme, n’emiti, balongoose endhu bakyabazinga ba Buyudaaya dhe baaleka agho ni dhoonooneka. 12Abasaadha abo baakola omulimo n’obwesigwa, nga balabirirwa Abalevi bano: Yahathi ni Obadia ab’oku nda ya Merari, ni Zekaria ni Meshullamu ab’oku nda ya Kohathi. Abalevi boonaboona baali bakugu mu bivuga. 13Abalevi abandi baalabiriranga abo abeetwikanga ebintu, era baakozesanga n’abo boonaboona abaakolanga emirimo egya buli ngeri. Ate abandi baabanga baghandiisi, bakulembeze, oba baigazi ba miryango.
14Bwe baali batoolayo empiiya edhaaleetebwa mu isinzizo, Hilikia kabona yaazuula ekitabo ky’Amateeka, Musengwa Katonda ge yagha ng’abita mu Musa. 15Agho Hilikia oyo yaakoba Shafani omughandiisi ati: “Nzwire ekitabo ky’Amateeka mu isinzizo.” Yaakigha Shafani. 16Shafani yaakitwala eri kyabazinga, era yaamukobera ati: “Abagheereza bo bakoze byonabyona bye walagira. 17Batoireyo empiiya dhe baagaine mu isinzizo, baadhigemya abo abali kulabirira omulimo ogw’okulongoosa eisinzizo lya Musengwa Katonda eryo.” 18Era Shafani yaakoba kyabazinga ati: “Hilikia kabona ampaire ekitabo.” Agho yaakisomeramu kyabazinga.
19Agho kyabazinga bwe yawulira ebyasomwa mu kitabo ky’Amateeka, yaakanulamu ebivaalo bye olw’okunakughala. 20Yaagha ekiragiro eri Hilikia, ni Ahikamu mutabane wa Shafani, ni Abudoni mutabane wa Mika, ni Shafani omughandiisi, ni Asaia omugheereza wa kyabazinga. Yaabakoba ati: 21“Muje mwebuuze ku Musengwa Katonda ku lwange ni ku lw’abo abaasigalagho mu Isiraeli ni mu Buyudaaya, ebigema ku ebyo ebighandiikiibwa mu kitabo kino ekizuuliibwa. Obusungu bwa Musengwa Katonda buli kututumbukiraku ng’oti muliro, kuba badhaadha baife tibaagondera bibono bya Musengwa Katonda ebiri mu kitabo kino, ni babikoleraku nga bwe byali n’okukolerwaku.”
22Agho Hilikia n’abo kyabazinga be yatuma, baaja eri Huluda omulanzi omukazi, muka Shallumu. Shallumu oyo yali mutabane wa Tokathi era mwidhukulu wa Hasara. Omukazi oyo yabanga mu kiketezo ekiyaaka ekya Yerusalemu, era nga iba oyo Shallumu n’akuuma eiterekero ly’ebivaalo eby’omu isinzizo. Agho baayogera n’omukazi oyo ku nsonga eyo. 23Yaabakoba ati: “Musengwa Katonda, Katonda wa Isiraeli akoba ati, ‘Omuntu abatumye ye ndi mumukobe muti, 24Musengwa Katonda akoba ati, ebikolimo ebyogerwaku mu kitabo kino kye basomeire kyabazinga wa Buyudaaya, nja kubituusa ku kifo kino ni ku bantu baamu. 25Nga bwe banviireku ni baniokeza obubbaani eri emisambwa, ni bansungughaza n’ebyo byonabyona bye bakoze, obusungu bwange bwidha kutumbukira ku kifo kino ng’oti muliro, era tibulizikira. 26Aye kyabazinga wa Buyudaaya, abatumye okuneebuuzaaku, mumukobe muti nze Musengwa Katonda, Katonda wa Isiraeli nkoba nti, bw’owuliire ebyo ebighandiikiibwa mu kitabo ekyo, 27weeneniiza era weewombeeka mu maiso gange. Era okanwiremu ebivaalo byo olw’okunakughala era waalira amaziga, bw’owuliire ebibono bye nayogera ku kifo kino ni ku bantu abakibaamu. Kale ni mpuliire okusaba kwo. 28Era bona eno, ndikutwala weeyimba ku badhaadha bo abaafa, waaziikibwa mu miraala, waaloba kubona ku kabi ke ndituusa ku kifo kino ni ku bantu abakibaamu.’ ”
Agho abasaadha bairayo baakobera kyabazinga obukwenda obwo.
Yosia akola endagaano okugonderanga Musengwa Katonda
(2 Bakyab 23:1-20)
29Agho kyabazinga Yosia yaayetesa abakulembeze boonaboona aba Buyudaaya n’aba Yerusalemu, beesolokeza gh’ali. 30Yaaja nabo mu isinzizo, aghalala n’abantu boonaboona ab’omu Buyudaaya, n’ab’omu Yerusalemu, ni bakabona, n’abalanzi, n’abantu abandi boonaboona abakologho n’ababuliidho. Agho nga bali kuwulira, yaasoma ebyali mu kitabo eky’endagaano ekyazuulibwa mu isinzizo. 31Kyabazinga Yosia yaayemerera mu kifo kye, yaakola endagaano mu maiso ga Musengwa Katonda, nga bw’aidha okugemanga amateeka n’ebiragiro bye n’omutima gwe gwonagwona era n’omwoyo gwe gwonagwona, era atuukirizenga ebiri mu ndagaano eyo, nga bwe byaghandiikibwa mu kitabo ekyo. 32Agho yaakubiriza abantu ba Benjamini n’abantu boonaboona abaaligho mu Yerusalemu, bakakase nga bwe baidha okukuumanga endagaano eyo. Era abantu b’omu Yerusalemu baakuuma endagaano eyo eya Musengwa Katonda, Katonda wa badhaadha baibwe. 33Yosia yaatoola ebyenhinhalwa byonabyona mu kiketezo ky’Abaisiraeli. Olwo yaaleetera Abaisiraeli boonaboona okugheereza Musengwa Katonda waibwe. Era ekiseera kyonakyona kye yamala nga mulamu, abantu tibaalekeraku naire okugheereza Musengwa Katonda, Katonda wa badhaadha baibwe.
