1 Awo oku lunaku olunanyere olwo oluzwanyuma lwʼokufa kwa Kamani, okabaka Akaswero nʼawa onabagereka Eseza ebintu byonabyona ebyabbaire ebya Kamani omulabe wʼaBayudaaya. Eseza nʼakobera okabaka ati oMoludekaayi amuliku oluganda, era ni bamwikirirya okwaba omumaiso ga kabaka. 2 Era okabaka ni yeetoolaku oku lunwe empetaye eriku eraama yʼobwakabaka, egiyabbaire atoire oku Kamani, nʼagiwa oMoludekaayi. Era Eseza nʼakwatisya oMoludekaayi obuvunaanyizibwa obwʼokulabiriranga ebintu byonabyona ebyabbaire ebya Kamani.
3 Awo Eseza ni yeeyongera okwegairira okabaka, nʼagwa aabigere bya kabaka nga waamagalica amaliga. Era nʼasaba okabaka okukomya entegeka embiibbi oKamani owʼomwibyaire lyʼAgagi, egiyabbaire akoleire aBayudaaya. 4 Awo okabaka nʼasiirya omwigogwe ogwʼezaabbu okulingirirya Eseza okumwikirirya okutumula. Era Eseza nʼasetuka, nʼayemerera omumaiso ga kabaka, 5 kaisi Eseza nʼakoba ati:
“Singa kibba kiti kabaka okisiimire, era singa mba nsunire obutake omumaisogo era ngʼobona oti niikyo ekituuce ekyokukola, owuluce ekiragiro ekisalamu ekiragiro oKamani omutaane wa Kameedasa, owʼomwibyaire lyʼAgagi, ekiyakolere okutaka okumalirawo nakimo aBayudaaya abali omu matwalego gonagona kabaka. 6 Mpezya ntya okuguminkiriza okubona akabbikabbi nga katuuka oku bantu bʼeigwanga lyange? Ooba mpezya ntya okuguminkiriza okubona nga bajigirica abantu bʼomu kisito kyʼe waiswe?”
7 Awo okabaka Akaswero nʼairamu onabagereka Eseza nʼoMoludekaayi oMuyudaaya ati, “Olwʼokubba oKamani yalumbire aBayudaaya, mpaire Eseza ebintu byonabyona ebibbaire ebya Kamani, era nʼoKamani ni bamwanika oku kalabba. 8 Atyanu muwandiike ekiragiro ekindi omu liina lyange nze okabaka, oku lwʼaBayudaaya ekikirira nakimo okubakolera ngʼowemubona, era muteekeku nʼeraama eri oku mpeta ya kabaka. Ekyo kityo olwʼokubba, mpaawo ekiwandiiko ekibakolere omu liina lya kabaka era ni bakiteekaku nʼeraama yʼempeta ya kabaka ekibayezya okucuusa.”
9 Amangu eino okabaka nʼatumisya abawandiikibe oku naku nga 23 omweri ogwokusatu, igwo omweri ogwa Sivani. Abawandiiki abo ni bawandiika na buli kimo ngʼoMoludekaayi oweyabalagiire baweererye aBayudaaya, nʼabeekubbemberi bonabona, nʼabakungu ababbaire abafuga amatwale 127, okuzwera e Buyindi okutuuka e Kuusi. Ekiragiro ekyo bakiwandiikire ni bakiweererya mu buli itwale omu lutumu lwalyo nʼempandiika yaalyo, nʼeeri aBayudaaya bona omu lutumu olwabwe era omu mpandiika eyaabwe. 10 OMoludekaayi nʼakiwandiika omu liina lya kabaka Akaswero, nʼakiteekaku nʼeraama eri oku mpeta ya kabaka. Nʼakiwa abakwenda abʼoku mbalaasi egiiruka eino, egibapiitire kukolanga mirimo gya kabaka, ni bakitwala mangu.
11 Ekiwandiiko kya kabaka ekyo ni kiwa aBayudaaya abali mu buli kibuga obwezye okukumbaana, nʼokwetaasa. Era ni babba nʼobwezye okwita, nʼokumalirawo nakimo amaje gonagona aga buli igwanga ooba itwale, agaabbanga gabalumbire ibo aBayudaaya, nʼabakali baabwe nʼabaana baabwe. Era ni babba nʼobwezye nʼokwenyagira nʼebintu ebyʼabalabe baabwe. 12 Olunaku olubalondere ekiragiro ekyo okutandiika okukola omu matwale gonagona aga kabaka Akaswero, lwabbaire enaku nga ikumi na isatu omweri ogweikumi na mibiri, igwo omweri ogwʼAdali. 13 Ekopi yʼekiragiro ekyo babbaire nʼokugiweererya ngʼeiteeka mu buli itwale, nʼokugimanyikisya abantu mu buli igwanga, kaisi olwo aBayudaaya bayezye okubba bategeke oku lunaku olwo okunyaaŋa abalabe baabwe.
14 Kale abakwenda, nga bakolesya embalaasi gya kabaka, ni bairuka bakitwala olwa kabaka okubalagira okukitwala. Era ekiragiro ekyo ni bakitwala nʼomu Susa ekibuga ekikulu.
15 Awo oMoludekaayi nʼazwa omu lubiri lwa kabaka ngʼazwaire ebizwalo bya kabaka ebya bbululu nʼebyeru, nʼomusibiro omutukuliikiriri ogwa lineni omusa, nʼengule eyʼekitiisya eyʼezaabbu. Era abantu bʼomu kibuga oSusa ni bajaagaana era ni basangaala. 16 Awo aBayudaaya ni babba nakusani, ni basangaala, ni bajaagaana, era ni babba nʼekitiisya. 17 Mu buli itwale na mu buli kibuga, ekiragiro kya kabaka e gikyatuukanga, aBayudaaya basangaalanga ni bajaagaana, ni basumba embaga era ni bakulya olunaku olwo ni bawuumula. Abantu abʼamawanga agandi bangi ni batuuka nʼokwesuuca aBayudaaya, olwʼokubba batiire aBayudaaya ekibabbaire bayezya okubakola.
