Akiya Alagula Yerobowaamu
14 Awo mu biro ebyo Abiya mutabani wa Yerobowaamu n’alwala, 2 (A)Yerobowaamu n’agamba mukyala we nti, “Golokoka ogende e Siiro, nga weefuddefudde baleme kumanya nga bw’oli mukazi wa Yerobowaamu. Akiya nnabbi, eyanjogerako nti ndiba kabaka w’abantu bano ali eyo. 3 (B)Twala emigaati kkumi, ne bukeeke, n’ensumbi ey’omubisi gw’enjuki, ogende gy’ali era ye alikubuulira omwana bw’aliba.” 4 Awo muka Yerobowaamu n’akola bw’atyo, n’agenda ewa Akiya e Siiro.
Akiya yali muzibe, kubanga amaaso ge gaali gayimbadde olw’obukadde. 5 Naye Mukama yali alabudde Akiya nga muka Yerobowaamu bw’anajja okumubuuza ebifa ku mutabani waabwe, eyali alwadde era nga bw’ajja okumuddamu, nga bw’anaatuuka ajja kwefuula okuba omuntu omulala.
6 Awo Akiya bwe yawulira enswagiro ku mulyango, n’amugamba nti, “Yingira muka Yerobowaamu. Lwaki weefuula okuba omuntu omulala? Ntumiddwa gy’oli n’amawulire amabi. 7 (C)Genda ogambe Yerobowaamu nti kino Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri ky’agamba nti, ‘Nakugulumiza nga nkuggya mu bantu, ne nkufuula omukulembeze wa bantu bange Isirayiri. 8 (D)Naggya obwakabaka mu nnyumba ya Dawudi, ne mbukuwa, naye tobadde ng’omuddu wange Dawudi, eyagondera ebiragiro byange era n’abigoberera n’omutima gwe gwonna, ng’akola ekyo ekyali ekirungi mu maaso gange. 9 (E)Oyonoonye nnyo okusinga bonna abaakusooka. Weekoledde bakatonda abalala, n’okola n’ebifaananyi ebisaanuuse n’onneerabira; onsunguwazizza nnyo.
10 (F)“ ‘Kyendiva nsanyaawo ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu, era ndiggyawo ku Yerobowaamu buli mwana owoobulenzi yenna mu Isirayiri, omuddu n’atali muddu. Ndiyokya ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu, ng’omuntu bw’ayokya obusa, okutuusa lwe liggweerawo ddala. 11 (G)Abo bonna aba Yerobowaamu abalifiira mu kibuga, embwa zirirya emirambo gyabwe, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga zirirya egy’abo abalifiira ku ttale, kubanga Mukama y’akyogedde!’
12 “Wabula ggwe, ddayo eka. Bw’onooba wakalinnya ekigere mu kibuga kyo, omulenzi anaafa. 13 (H)Isirayiri yonna banaamukaabira era ne bamuziika. Ye yekka ow’ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu aliziikibwa, kubanga ye yekka mu nnyumba ya Yerobowaamu Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, gw’alabyemu akalungi.
14 “Mukama alyeyimusiza kabaka wa Isirayiri alisaanyaawo ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu mu kiseera ekitali ky’ewala nnyo. 15 (I)Mukama aliva ku Isirayiri, abeere ng’ekitoogo bwe kinyeenyezebwa mu mazzi, era alisimbula Isirayiri okubaggya mu nsi eno ennungi eya bajjajjaabwe, n’abasaasaanyiza emitala w’Omugga,[a] kubanga baasunguwaza Mukama bwe baakola bakatonda Baaseri. 16 (J)Era aliva ku Isirayiri olw’ebibi bya Yerobowaamu n’ebyo by’ayonoonesezza Isirayiri.”
17 (K)Awo muka Yerobowaamu n’agolokoka okugenda e Tiruza. Olwayingira mu nnyumba yaabwe, omulenzi n’afa. 18 Ne bamuziika, era Isirayiri yonna ne bamukungubagira ng’ekigambo kya Mukama kye yayogerera mu nnabbi Akiya bwe kyali.
19 N’ebirala byonna ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Yerobowaamu, entalo ze, n’okufuga kwe, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’eby’omu mirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri? 20 Yafugira emyaka amakumi abiri mu ebiri, oluvannyuma ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe; Nadabu mutabani we n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.
Lekobowaamu Kabaka wa Yuda
21 (L)Lekobowaamu mutabani wa Sulemaani n’alya obwakabaka bwa Yuda, ng’alina emyaka amakumi ana mu gumu. Yafugira emyaka kkumi na musanvu mu Yerusaalemi, ekibuga Mukama kye yeeroboza mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri olw’erinnya lye. Nnyina yayitibwanga Naama, Omwamoni.
22 (M)Yuda ne bakola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, okusinga ne bajjajjaabwe bye baakola era ebibi byabwe ne bikwasa Mukama obuggya. 23 (N)Beezimbira ebifo ebigulumivu n’empagi za Baaseri ku buli lusozi oluwanvu ne wansi wa buli muti omugazi. 24 (O)Era waaliwo n’abaalyanga ebisiyaga mu nsi, ne bakolanga eby’emizizo byonna abamawanga Katonda be yagoba mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri bye baakolanga.
25 (P)Mu mwaka ogwokutaano ogw’obufuzi bwa kabaka Lekobowaamu, Sisaki kabaka w’e Misiri n’alumba Yerusaalemi. 26 (Q)N’atwala eby’obugagga eby’omu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebyobugagga eby’omu lubiri lwa kabaka byonna, ng’okwo kw’otadde engabo eza zaabu Sulemaani ze yali akoze. 27 Awo kabaka Lekobowaamu n’akola engabo ez’ebikomo okuzzaawo ziri, era n’azikwasa abaduumizi b’abambowa abaakuumanga wankaaki w’olubiri lwa kabaka. 28 Buli Kabaka lwe yalaganga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, abambowa ne bambalira engabo ezo, era Oluvannyuma ne bazizaayo mu kisenge ky’abambowa we zaaterekebwanga.
29 Ebyafaayo ebirala byonna eby’omulembe gwa Lekobowaamu, ne bye yakola byonna, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda? 30 (R)Waabangawo entalo ez’olubeerera wakati wa Lekobowaamu ne Yerobowaamu. 31 (S)Lekobowaamu ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, era n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi. Nnyina yayitibwanga Naama Omwamoni. Abiyaamu mutabani we n’amusikira, n’alya obwakabaka.

1 Kings 14
King James Version
14 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that I should be king over this people.
3 And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child.
4 And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
5 And the Lord said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself to be another woman.
6 And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings.
7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,
8 And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes;
9 But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:
10 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
11 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the Lord hath spoken it.
12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
13 And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the Lord God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
14 Moreover the Lord shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.
15 For the Lord shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the Lord to anger.
16 And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.
17 And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died;
18 And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet.
19 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
20 And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.
23 For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.
24 And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.
25 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:
26 And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
27 And king Rehoboam made in their stead brasen shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the king's house.
28 And it was so, when the king went into the house of the Lord, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.
