1 Kings 12
1 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
Roboami akendeki na Sishemi epai wapi lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele esanganaki mpo na kokomisa ye mokonzi.
2 When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon, and Jeroboam lived in Egypt;
Kasi sima na Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, koyoka sango yango wuta na Ejipito epai wapi akendeki kobombama mpo na kokima mokonzi Salomo, azongaki wuta na Ejipito.
3 and they sent and called him), Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
Boye, batindaki bato kobenga Jeroboami; bongo ye elongo na lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele bakendeki epai ya Roboami mpe balobaki na ye:
4 “Your father made our yoke difficult. Now therefore make the hard service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”
— Tata na yo anyokolaki biso makasi; kasi sik’oyo, yo, lembisa misala makasi mpe mikumba oyo tata na yo atia na mito na biso; bongo biso, tokosalela yo.
5 He said to them, “Depart for three days, then come back to me.” So the people departed.
Roboami azongisaki: — Bokende epai na bino, bopesa ngai mikolo misato mpo na koyekola likambo yango, bongo bozongela ngai. Mpe bato bakendeki.
6 King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me to answer these people?”
Mokonzi Roboami atunaki toli epai ya bampaka oyo basalaki elongo na Salomo, tata na ye, tango azalaki nanu na bomoi. Alobaki na bango: — Toli nini bozali kopesa ngai lokola eyano ya kopesa epai ya bato oyo?
7 They replied, “If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them, and answer them with good words, then they will be your servants forever.”
Bazongiselaki ye: — Soki, na mokolo ya lelo, omikomisi mosali ya bato oyo, soki osaleli bango mpe opesi bango eyano ya malamu, bakozala tango nyonso basali na yo.
8 But he abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
Kasi Roboami aboyaki toli oyo bampaka bapesaki ye; asengaki toli epai ya bilenge mibali oyo bakolaki esika moko na ye mpe bazalaki kosalela ye.
9 He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may answer these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter’?”
Atunaki bango: — Toli nini bozali kopesa lokola eyano ya kopesa epai ya bato oyo balobi na ngai: « Lembisa misala makasi mpe mikumba oyo tata na yo atia na mito na biso? »
10 The young men who had grown up with him said to him, “Tell these people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter to us’—tell them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
Bilenge mibali oyo bakolaki esika moko na ye bazongisaki: — Tala makambo oyo okoyebisa bato oyo balobi na yo: « Tata na yo anyokolaki biso na misala makasi; kasi yo, lembisela biso yango! » Yebisa bango: « Mosapi na ngai ya moke eleki loketo ya tata na ngai na monene;
11 Now my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’”
soki tata na ngai anyokolaki bino na misala makasi, ngai, nakoyeisa yango lisusu makasi koleka; soki tata na ngai azalaki kobeta bino fimbu ya poso ya nyama, ngai nakobeta bino fimbu ya ebende. »
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.”
Sima na mikolo misato, Jeroboami elongo na bato nyonso bazongaki epai ya Roboami, ndenge mokonzi ayebisaki bango: « Bozongela ngai sima na mikolo misato. »
13 The king answered the people roughly, and abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him,
Mokonzi Roboami aboyaki kosalela toli oyo bampaka bapesaki ye, ayanolaki bato na maloba mabe makasi;
14 and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”
alandaki toli ya bilenge mibali mpe ayebisaki bango: Soki tata na ngai anyokolaki bino na misala makasi, ngai nakoyeisa yango lisusu makasi koleka; soki tata na ngai azalaki kobeta bino fimbu ya poso ya nyama, ngai nakobeta bino fimbu ya ebende.
15 So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was a thing brought about from Yahweh, that he might establish his word, which Yahweh spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Mokonzi aboyaki koyoka bato, pamba te ezalaki Yawe nde asalaki bongo mpo na kokokisa liloba oyo Yawe ayebisaki Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, na nzela ya mosakoli Ayiya, moto ya Silo.
16 When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion have we in David? We don’t have an inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So Israel departed to their tents.
Tango bana nyonso ya Isalaele bamonaki ete mokonzi aboyi koyoka bango, bazongiselaki ye: « Eloko nini ya lisanga tozali na yango na Davidi? Tozali na eloko moko te ya lisanga na mwana mobali ya Izayi! Isalaele, tika ete moto na moto azonga na ndako na ye ya kapo! Mpe yo, mokitani ya Davidi, tikala kotala makambo ya ndako na yo! » Boye, bana ya Isalaele bazongaki na bandako na bango ya kapo.
17 But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Roboami akobaki kokonza bana ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kovanda na bingumba ya Yuda.
18 Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam hurried to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
Mokonzi Roboami atindaki Adorami oyo azalaki motambolisi misala makasi, kasi bana nyonso ya Isalaele babambaki ye mabanga mpe akufaki. Nzokande, mokonzi Roboami alongaki komata na shar na ye mpo na kokima na Yelusalemi.
19 So Israel rebelled against David’s house to this day.
Ezali boye nde bana ya Isalaele batombokelaki ndako ya Davidi kino na mokolo ya lelo.
20 When all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel. There was no one who followed David’s house, except for the tribe of Judah only.
Tango bana nyonso ya Isalaele bayokaki ete Jeroboami azongi, batindaki bato kobenga ye ete aya na mayangani, mpe bakomisaki ye mokonzi ya Isalaele mobimba. Kaka libota ya Yuda nde etikalaki kotosa bokonzi ya ndako ya Davidi.
21 When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
Tango Roboami azongaki na Yelusalemi, asangisaki libota nyonso ya Yuda mpe libota ya Benjame, aponaki kati na bango bilombe ya bitumba nkoto nkama moko na tuku mwambe mpo na kobundisa ndako ya Isalaele mpe kozongisa bokonzi na maboko ya Roboami, mwana mobali ya Salomo.
22 But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Kasi Nzambe alobaki na Shemaya, moto na Nzambe:
23 “Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying,
« Yebisa Roboami, mwana mobali ya Salomo, mokonzi ya Yuda; mpe bana nyonso ya Yuda, ya Benjame mpe ba-oyo batikali:
24 ‘Yahweh says, “You shall not go up or fight against your brothers, the children of Israel. Everyone return to his house; for this thing is from me.”’” So they listened to Yahweh’s word, and returned and went their way, according to Yahweh’s word.
‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Bokende te kobundisa bandeko na bino, bato ya Isalaele! Tika ete moto moko na moko azonga na ndako na ye, pamba te Ngai moko nde nasali makambo nyonso oyo eleki. › » Batosaki Liloba na Yawe mpe bazongaki na bandako na bango mpo na kotosa mitindo ya Yawe.
25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and lived in it; and he went out from there and built Penuel.
Jeroboami atongaki engumba Sishemi, kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi, mpe avandaki kuna. Longwa na Sishemi, abimaki mpe akendeki kotonga Penueli.
26 Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom will return to David’s house.
Jeroboami amilobelaki: « Ndenge makambo ezali kotambola, bokonzi ekoki kozonga na ndako ya Davidi.
27 If this people goes up to offer sacrifices in Yahweh’s house at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, even to Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.”
Soki bato oyo bamati na Yelusalemi mpo na kobonza mbeka na Tempelo ya Yawe, bakopesa lisusu mitema na bango epai ya nkolo na bango, Roboami, mokonzi ya Yuda. Bakoboma ngai mpe bakozonga epai ya mokonzi Roboami. »
28 So the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said to them, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Look and behold your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
Sima na ye koluka toli, mokonzi asalaki bikeko mibale ya bana ngombe ya wolo. Alobaki na bato: — Oh Isalaele, bokeyi mpe mingi na Yelusalemi! Botala banzambe na bino oyo babimisaki bino na Ejipito.
29 He set the one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
Jeroboami atiaki ekeko moko na Beteli mpe mosusu na Dani.
30 This thing became a sin, for the people went even as far as Dan to worship before the one there.
Bongo likambo oyo ememaki bato na lisumu, pamba te bamoko bazalaki kokende kogumbamela ekeko oyo ezalaki na Beteli, mpe bamosusu bazalaki kokende mosika kino na Dani mpo na kogumbamela ekeko mosusu.
31 He made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
Jeroboami atongaki bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpe atiaki banganga-nzambe oyo bazalaki ata te bato ya libota ya Levi.
32 Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in Judah, and he went up to the altar. He did so in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made, and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made.
Jeroboami akataki ete basalaka feti mibu nyonso na mokolo ya zomi na mitano ya sanza ya mwambe ndenge basalaka na mokili ya Yuda, mpe abonzaki mbeka na etumbelo. Asalaki ndenge wana na Beteli epai wapi abonzaki mbeka epai ya banzambe ya bikeko ya bana ngombe oyo asalaki, mpe atiaki banganga-nzambe na bisambelo oyo abongisaki na likolo ya bangomba.
33 He went up to the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up to the altar to burn incense.
Na mokolo ya zomi na mitano ya sanza ya mwambe, sanza oyo aponaki na ndenge na ye moko, abonzaki mbeka na etumbelo oyo atongaki na Beteli. Akataki ete basalaka feti mibu nyonso mpo na bana ya Isalaele mpe amataki na etumbelo mpo na kotumba ansa.
