1 Oluzwanyuma lwʼebyo, okabaka Akaswero oweyamalire okwikaikana obusungu, nʼaseega oku kikole oVasuti ekiyakolere nʼokwiteeka eriyabbaire amuwuluciryeku.
2 Awo abawi bʼamalabuki ibo abaweererya ba kabaka, ni bakoba bati, “Banoonerye okabaka abaala abasipoono era nga baguna.
3 Oleke okabaka alonde abakungu mu buli kitundu ekyʼamatwalege, basoloojerye omu nyumbaye eyʼabakali omu kibuga ekikulu oSusa, abaala bonabona abasipoono era abaguna babakwatisye oKegayi omulabiriri wʼabakali nago era omuweererya omulaawe owa kabaka, era bawe abakali abo ebyokweyonja.
4 Awo omwala eyakirira nakimo okusangaalisya okabaka, niiye eyasuuka onabagereka omu kifo kya Vasuti.” Okabaka nʼasiima amalabuki ago era nʼagakoleraku.
5 Atyanu omu kibuga ekikulu oSusa, mwabbairemu omusaiza oMuyudaaya eriinalye bati Moludekaayi owʼomu kika kya Bbenyamini, eyabbaire omutaane wa Yairi, oYairi omutaane wa Semeeyi, oSemeeyi omutaane wa Kiisi.
6 OMoludekaayi yabbaire moiza kwabo okabaka oNebbukaduneeza owʼe Bbabbulooni abeyatwaire omu buwambe okuzwa omu Yerusaalemi, nʼoYekoniya okabaka wʼe Buyudaaya.
7 OMoludekaayi yabbaire nʼomwala ngʼeriinalye niiye Eseza, neye ngʼeriinalye eryʼoLwebbulaniya niiye oKadaasa. Oiteeye wʼEseza yabbaire iteeye wa Moludekaayi omuto. Omwala oyo yabbaire musipoono omu nkulaye era ngʼasikiriza amaiso okumubona. Era ababyairebe owebafiire, oMoludekaayi nʼamutwala nʼamupiita ngʼomwalawe nakimo.
8 Owebalangiriire eiteka lya kabaka, ni basolooja abaala bangi ni babaleeta omu kibuga ekikulu oSusa. Mwabo nʼEseza yena mubamuleeteire. Era yena ni bamuteeka omu lubiri, ni bʼamukwatisya oKegayi eyabbaire alabirira abaala nago.
9 Omwala oyo nʼasangaalisya ino oKegayi, nʼabba mutake egyali. OKegayi tiyalwire, nʼatandiika okumulabirira, ngʼamuwa ebizigo byʼokwesiiga, nʼokumuwanga ebyokulya ebyʼenjawulo. Nʼamuteeka omu kifo ekikira obusa omu nyumba ya kabaka eyʼabakali, nʼamuwa abaala musanvu abebalondere mwabo abʼomu lubiri okumuweereryanga.
10 Eseza yabbaire tatumulanga eigwangalye, waire ekisito omwazwera, olwʼokubba oMoludekaayi yabbaire amusisiitiire okubisirikira.
11 Nabuli lunaku, oMoludekaayi yeebityabityanga okumpi nʼoluuga lwʼenyumba eyʼabakali e gibagonanga, ayezye okumanya Eseza ngʼowaali era nʼebimufaaku.
12 Atyanu olugobo olwa buli mwala okumutwala eeri okabaka Akaswero owerwabbanga lukaali okutuuka, omwala yamalanga omwanka mulamba, nga bamuyonja ngʼeiteeka oku bakali abo oweryabbaire. Emyeri mukaaga nga bamusiiga amafuta aga kaloosa agebeeta omiira, kaisi emyeri egindi omukaaga nga bamusiiga ebyakalifuwa, era nʼebyakaloosa ebindi ebikola oku bakali.
13 Omwala oweyaabbanga ayaba eeri okabaka, yaabanga mu ngeri enu: Ekintu kyonakyona ekiyatakanga, bamuwanga ngʼazwa omu nyumba eyo eyʼabakali, nʼayaba nakyo omu lubiri lwa kabaka.
14 Bamutwalanga e wa kabaka igulo, kaisi amakeezi ni bamutoolayo, ni bamutwala omu nyumba egendi eyʼabakali abandi aba kabaka, ni bamukwatisya oSaasugazi omulaawe okubalabiriranga. Omwala tiyakanganga e wa kabaka, okutoolaku ngʼokabaka amusiimire nʼamutumisya ngʼabbutwire liina.
15 Olugobo lwʼEseza olwʼokwaba eeri okabaka owerwatuukire, Eseza nago omwala wʼAbbikairi oiteeye wa Moludekaayi omuto, oMoludekaayi oguyapiitire ngʼomwalawe nakimo, mpaawo ekiyasabire, okutoolaku ebyo oKegayi omuweererya omulaawe owa kabaka, era eyabbaire alabirira abakali nago, ebiyamukobere okwaba nabyo, era nabuli eyamuboineku yamusiimire.
16 Batwaire Eseza eeri okabaka Akaswero omu lubiri mu mweri gweikumi, omweri ogubeeta Tibbesi, omu mwanka gwomusanvu ogwʼokufugakwe.
17 Awo okabaka nʼataka Eseza okukiraku abakali bonabona. Nʼamusiima era nabba mukoda egyali okukiraku abaala abandi bonabona abaguna. Atyo nʼamuzwalisya engule yʼobwanabagereka, era nʼamusuuca nabagereka omu kifo kya Vasuti.
18 Awo okabaka nʼasumbira Eseza embaga enene eyabbaireku abakungube bonabona, nʼabaweereryabe. Okabaka nʼalangirira olunaku olwo okubba lwʼokuwuumula omu matwalege, era nʼalugabiraku nʼebirabo bingi, okusinzirira okubugabibwe.
OMoludekaayi azuula olukwe lwʼokwita okabaka
19 Awo abaala abaguna abo owebabbaire bakumbaine omulundi gwokubiri, oMoludekaayi yabbaire atyaime oku geeti yʼolubiri lwa kabaka.
20 Neye Eseza yabbaire tatumulanga ekisito omwazwera, waire eigwangalye, olwʼokubba oMoludekaayi yabbaire amusisiitiire okutakoberaku omuntu kadi moiza. Eseza nʼamugondera na mwekyo kyona, ngʼoweyamugonderanga omu butobuto, ngʼakaali ali omu kisitokye.
21 Omu kiseera ekyo, oMoludekaayi ngʼatyaime oku geeti ya kabaka, ababiri oku baweererya abalaawe abaweererya ba kabaka, oBbigusana nʼoTeresi ababbaire abakuuma oku geeti, ni basunguwala, ni basala olukwe okwita okabaka Akaswero.
22 OMoludekaayi nʼazuula olukwe olwo, nʼalukoberaku onabagereka Eseza, Eseza nʼakobera okabaka omu liina lya Moludekaayi.
23 Owebanonenkereirye, ni bazuula nga kituuce. Abasaiza abo bombi ni babaanika oku kalabba. Ni bakiwandiika, ngʼokabaka abona, omu kitabo ekyʼebibbaawo nabuli lunaku.
