2 Chronicles 23

1 Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada having been strengthened, he took the centurions, namely, Azariah, the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael, the son of Jehohanan, and also Azariah, the son of Obed, and Maaseiah, the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat, the son of Zichri, and he formed a pact with them.

Na mobu ya sambo, Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada alongolaki kobanga mpe azwaki mokano ya kosala boyokani elongo na bakonzi ya mampinga, oyo bakambaka basoda nkama moko: Azaria, mwana mobali ya Yeroami; Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Yoanani; Azaria, mwana mobali ya Obedi; Maaseya, mwana mobali ya Adaya; mpe Elishafati, mwana mobali ya Zikiri.

2 And traveling through Judah, they gathered together the Levites from all of the cities of Judah, and the leaders of the families of Israel, and they went to Jerusalem.

Batambolaki kati na Yuda mpe basangisaki Balevi elongo na bakonzi ya mabota ya Isalaele, oyo bawutaki na bingumba nyonso. Tango bayaki na Yelusalemi,

3 Then the entire multitude formed a pact with the king, in the house of God. And Jehoiada said to them: “Behold, the son of the king shall reign, just as the Lord has said concerning the sons of David.

lisanga mobimba esalaki boyokani elongo na mokonzi kati na Tempelo ya Nzambe. Yeoyada alobaki na bango: « Mwana mobali ya mokonzi asengeli kokonza lokola mokonzi, kolanda elaka oyo Yawe apesaki na tina na bakitani ya Davidi.

4 Therefore, this is the word that you shall do:

Sik’oyo, tala ndenge bokosala: ‹ kati na bandambo misato ya lisanga na bino Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi oyo bakosala na mokolo ya Saba, ndambo ya liboso bakokengela bikuke,

5 One third part of you who arrive on the Sabbath, priests, and Levites, and porters, shall be at the gates. Truly, one third part shall be at the house of the king. And one third shall be at the gate which is called the Foundation. Yet truly, let all the remainder of the common people be in the courts of the house of the Lord.

ndambo ya mibale bakokengela ndako ya mokonzi, mpe ndambo ya misato bakokengela ekuke ya Yesodi. Bato nyonso bakozala kati na mapango ya Tempelo ya Yawe.

6 Let no one else enter into the house of the Lord, except the priests, and those from the Levites who are ministering. These alone may enter, for they have been sanctified. And let all the remainder of the common people observe the watches of the Lord.

Moko te asengeli kokota kati na Tempelo ya Yawe longola kaka Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi oyo bakozala na mosala, pamba te bazali bule. Bato nyonso oyo batikali basengeli kotosa mobeko ya Yawe.

7 Then let the Levites encircle the king, each one having his weapons. And if anyone else will have entered into the temple, let him be slain. And may they be with the king, both entering and departing.”

Balevi bakozingela mokonzi, moko na moko na ebundeli na ye na loboko. Moto mosusu oyo akomeka kokota na Tempelo ya Yawe, basengeli koboma ye. Bozala pene ya mokonzi na bisika nyonso oyo akokende. › »

8 Then the Levites, and all of Judah, acted in accord with all that the high priest Jehoiada had instructed. And each of them took the men who were under him, and who were arriving by the course of the Sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the Sabbath and who were about to depart. For indeed the high priest Jehoiada had not permitted the companies to depart, which were accustomed to replace one another each week.

Balevi mpe bato nyonso ya Yuda basalaki ndenge kaka Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada atindaki. Moko na moko akamataki basoda na ye, ba-oyo bazalaki kokota na mosala na mokolo ya Saba mpe ba-oyo basilisaki mosala na bango na mokolo yango ya Saba, pamba te Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada apemisaki ndambo moko te.

9 And Jehoiada, the priest, gave to the centurions the lances and round shields and crescent shields of king David, which he had dedicated in the house of the Lord.

Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada apesaki na bakonzi ya mampinga, oyo bakambaka basoda nkama moko makonga, banguba minene mpe banguba mike ya mokonzi Davidi, oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Nzambe.

10 And he positioned all the people, holding short swords, from the right part of the temple to the left part of the temple, before the altar and the temple, all around the king.

Atiaki bato nyonso zingazinga ya mokonzi, moko na moko na ebundeli na ye na loboko, pembeni ya etumbelo mpe ya Tempelo, wuta na ngambo ya sude kino na ngambo ya nor ya Tempelo.

11 And they led out the son of the king. And they imposed the diadem on him, and the testimony. And they gave him the law to hold in his hand. And they appointed him as king. Also, the high priest Jehoiada and his sons anointed him. And they prayed for him, and said, “May the king live!”

Babimisaki mwana mobali ya mokonzi, balatisaki ye motole, bapesaki ye mokanda ya boyokani mpe bakomisaki ye mokonzi. Yeoyada mpe bana na ye ya mibali bapakolaki ye mafuta ya bokonzi mpe bagangaki: « Tika ete mokonzi awumela na bomoi! »

12 And when Athaliah had heard it, specifically the sound of running and the praising of the king, she entered to the people in the temple of the Lord.

Tango Atali ayokaki makelele ya bato oyo bazalaki kopota mbangu mpe kobetela mokonzi maboko, akendeki epai ya bato, na Tempelo ya Yawe,

13 And when she had seen the king standing upon the step at the entrance, and the leaders and companies around him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding the trumpets, and playing on instruments of various kinds, and the voice of those who were praising, she tore her garments, and she said: “Treason! Treason!”

atalaki mpe amonaki mokonzi atelemi na etemelo na ye ya kolobela, pembeni ya ekotelo ya Tempelo. Bakonzi ya basoda mpe bato oyo babetaka bakelelo bazalaki pembeni ya mokonzi. Bato nyonso ya mokili bazalaki kosepela wana bazalaki kobeta bakelelo; mpe bayembi elongo na bibetelo na bango ya mindule bazalaki kokamba nzembo mpo na kokumisa Nkolo. Atali apasolaki bilamba na ye mpe agangaki: — Basaleli ngai likita! Basaleli ngai likita!

14 Then the high priest Jehoiada, going out to the centurions and to the leaders of the army, said to them: “Lead her away, beyond the borders of the temple. And let her be put to death outside, with the sword.” And the priest instructed that she should not be killed in the house of the Lord.

Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada abengisaki bakonzi ya mampinga, oyo bakambaka basoda nkama moko mpe alobaki na bango: — Bobimisa ye na molongo! Mpe boboma na mopanga moto nyonso oyo akolanda ye! Pamba te Nganga-Nzambe alobaki: « Boboma ye te kati na Tempelo ya Yawe! »

15 And they laid hands on her neck. And when she had entered the gate for the horses at the king’s house, they put her to death there.

Boye, wana Atali azwaki nzela ya ekotelo ya bampunda mpo na kokende na ndako ya mokonzi, bakangaki ye mpe babomaki ye kuna.

16 Then Jehoiada formed a covenant between himself and the entire people, and the king, so that they would be the people of the Lord.

Yeoyada asalaki boyokani kati na ye, bato nyonso mpe mokonzi, mpo ete bazala bato ya Yawe.

17 And so, all the people entered into the house of Baal, and they destroyed it. And they broke apart his altars and idols. Also, they put to death Mattan, the priest of Baal, before the altars.

Bato nyonso bakendeki na ndako ya nzambe Bala, babukaki yango elongo na bitumbelo mpe bikeko, mpe babomaki Matani, nganga-nzambe ya Bala, liboso ya bitumbelo.

18 Then Jehoiada appointed overseers in the house of the Lord, under the hands of the priests and Levites, whom David had distributed to the house of the Lord so that they might offer holocausts to the Lord, just as it was written in the law of Moses, with gladness and singing, in accord with the disposition of David.

Yeoyada apesaki mosala ya kokengela Tempelo ya Yawe epai ya Banganga-Nzambe Balevi oyo Davidi apesaki mosala ya Tempelo ya Yawe, mpo na kotumba mbeka epai na Yawe, ndenge ekomama kati na mibeko ya Moyize, na esengo mpe na koyemba banzembo, ndenge Davidi atindaki.

19 Also, he appointed porters at the gates of the house of the Lord, so that whoever was unclean for any reason would not enter.

Atiaki lisusu bakengeli na bikuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpo na kopekisa moto nyonso ya mbindo kokota kuna.

20 And he took the centurions, and the most valiant men, and the leaders of the people, and all the common people of the land, and they set out to descend to the king, from the house of the Lord, and to enter through the middle of the upper gate, to the house of the king. And they placed him on the royal throne.

Asangisaki bakonzi ya mampinga, oyo bakambaka basoda nkama moko, bato ya lokumu, bakambi ya bato mpe bato nyonso ya mokili; amemaki mokonzi longwa na Tempelo ya Yawe kino na ndako ya mokonzi, na nzela ya ekuke ya likolo. Mpe kuna, bavandisaki ye na kiti ya bokonzi.

21 And all the people of the land were rejoicing, and the city was quieted. But Athaliah was slain with the sword.

Bato nyonso ya mokili basepelaki, mpe engumba ekomaki na kimia, pamba te babomaki Atali na mopanga.
