2 Kings 10
1 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And so Jehu wrote letters, and he sent to Samaria, to the nobles of the city, and to those greater by birth, and to those who had raised Ahab’s sons, saying:
Akabi azalaki na bana mibali tuku sambo na Samari. Jewu akomaki mikanda mpe atindaki yango na Samari epai ya bakalaka ya Jizireyeli, epai ya bampaka mpe epai ya babateli ya bana ya Akabi. Na mikanda yango, Jewu alobaki:
2 “Immediately when you receive these letters, you who have your lord’s sons, and chariots, and horses, and reinforced cities, and weapons,
« Tango kaka mokanda oyo ekokomela bino, lokola bana mibali ya mokonzi na bino bazali elongo na bino, mpe lokola bozali na bashar mpe bampunda, engumba ya makasi mpe bibundeli,
3 choose him who is better and who pleases you from among the sons of your lord, and set him on the throne of his father, and fight for the house of your lord.”
bopona mwana mobali oyo aleki malamu mpe mayele kati na bana mibali ya mokonzi na bino, botia ye na kiti ya bokonzi ya tata na ye, mpe bobunda mpo na ndako ya mokonzi na bino. »
4 But they were vehemently afraid, and they said: “Behold, two kings were not able to stand before him. So how will we be able to withstand him?”
Kasi babangaki makasi mpe balobaki: « Soki kutu bakonzi mibale bakokaki te kobunda na ye, bongo ndenge nini biso tokobunda na ye? »
5 Therefore, those who were in charge of the house, and the prefects of the city, and those greater by birth, and those who raised the sons, sent to Jehu, saying: “We are your servants. Whatever you will order, we will do. But we will not appoint a king for ourselves. Do whatever pleases you.”
Boye, mobateli biloko ya ndako ya mokonzi, moyangeli ya engumba, bampaka mpe babateli ya bana ya mokonzi batindaki sango oyo epai ya Jewu: « Tozali basali na yo mpe tokosala nyonso oyo okoloba. Tokotia moto mosusu te lokola mokonzi, tokosala nyonso oyo okomona malamu. »
6 Then he again wrote letters to them a second time, saying: “If you are mine, and if you obey me, take the heads of the sons of your lord, and come to me at Jezreel at this same hour tomorrow.” Now the sons of the king, being seventy men, were being raised with the nobles of the city.
Boye, Jewu akomelaki bango mokanda ya mibale oyo kati na yango alobaki: « Soki bozali na ngambo na ngai mpe bokotosa ngai, bozwa mito ya bana mibali nyonso ya mokonzi na bino mpe boya na yango epai na ngai, na Jizireyeli, lobi na tongo. » Nzokande bana mibali tuku sambo ya mokonzi bazalaki epai ya bato ya lokumu ya engumba, oyo bazalaki kobokola bango.
7 And when the letters had arrived to them, they took the sons of the king, and they killed the seventy men. And they placed their heads in baskets, and they sent these to him at Jezreel.
Tango mokanda ekomaki, bato wana bazwaki bana mibali ya mokonzi, babomaki bango nyonso tuku sambo, batiaki mito na bango na bitunga mpe batindaki yango epai ya Jewu, na Jizireyeli.
8 Then a messenger arrived and reported to him, saying, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” And he responded, “Place them in two piles, beside the entrance of the gate, until morning.”
Ntoma moko akomaki mpe alobaki na Jewu: — Bamemi mito ya bana mibali ya mokonzi. Bongo Jewu apesaki mitindo: — Botia yango na mipiku mibale na ekuke ya engumba kino na tongo.
9 And when it had become light, he went out. And standing there, he said to all the people: “You are just. If I have conspired against my lord, and if I have killed him, who has struck down all of these?
Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Jewu abimaki, atelemaki liboso ya bato nyonso mpe alobaki: — Bosali na bino mabe te. Ezalaki ngai nde nasalelaki nkolo na ngai likita mpo na kotelemela ye mpe koboma ye; kasi nani abomi bato oyo nyonso?
10 Now therefore, see that none of the words of the Lord has fallen to the ground, which the Lord spoke over the house of Ahab, and that the Lord has done what he spoke by the hand of his servant Elijah.”
Boyeba ete liloba moko te oyo Yawe alobaki mpo na kotelemela ndako ya Akabi ekozanga kokokisama. Yawe akokisi makambo oyo alobaki na nzela ya mosali na Ye, Eliya.
11 And so, Jehu struck down all who had remained from the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his nobles and friends and priests, until no remnant of them was left behind.
Boye Jewu abomaki bato nyonso ya ndako ya Akabi, oyo batikalaki na Jizireyeli: bato na ye nyonso ya lokumu, baninga na ye, Banganga-Nzambe na ye. Atikaki ata moto na ye moko te na bomoi.
12 And he rose up and went to Samaria. And when he had arrived at the shepherds’ cabin along the way,
Jewu atelemaki mpe akendeki na Samari. Na Beti-Ekedi-Aron,
13 he found the brothers of Ahaziah, the king of Judah, and he said to them, “Who are you?” And they responded, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah, and we are going down to greet the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.”
Jewu akutanaki na bandeko ya Akazia, mokonzi ya kala ya Yuda, mpe atunaki bango: — Bozali banani? Bazongisaki: — Tozali bandeko ya Akazia. Toyei kopesa bana mibali ya mokonzi mpe mama ya mokonzi mbote.
14 And he said, “Take them alive.” And when they had taken them alive, they cut their throats at the cistern beside the cabin, forty-two men. And he did not leave any of them behind.
Jewu apesaki mitindo: — Bokanga bango ya bomoi. Boye bakangaki bango ya bomoi mpe bakataki bango bakingo, pene ya libulu ya Beti-Ekedi. Bazalaki mibali tuku minei na mibale, mpe Jewu atikaki moto moko te na bomoi.
15 And when he had gone away from there, he found Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, coming to meet him, and he blessed him. And he said to him, “Is your heart upright, just as my heart is with your heart?” And Jehonadab said, “It is.” Then he said, “If it is, then give me your hand.” He gave his hand to him. And so he lifted him up to himself in the chariot.
Tango alongwaki kuna mpe akutanaki na Yonadabi, mwana mobali ya Rekabi, oyo abandaki koya kokutana na ye, Jewu apesaki ye mbote mpe alobaki: — Boni, motema na yo ezali sembo mpo na ngai, ndenge motema na ngai ezali mpo na yo? Yonadabi azongisaki: — Iyo, ezali bongo! Jewu alobaki: — Soki ezali bongo, pesa ngai loboko na yo. Boye, Yonadabi asalaki bongo, mpe Jewu asungaki ye mpo na komata na shar.
16 And he said to him, “Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord.” And he gave him a place in his chariot.
Jewu alobaki: — Yaka elongo na ngai, mpe okomona bolingo makasi na ngai mpo na Yawe. Boye, Jewu amemaki ye na shar na ye.
17 And he led him into Samaria. And he struck down all who were left behind of Ahab in Samaria, even to the last one, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke through Elijah.
Tango Jewu akomaki na Samari, abomaki bato nyonso ya libota ya Akabi, oyo batikalaki kuna. Jewu abomaki bango kolanda Liloba na Yawe oyo alobaki na nzela ya Eliya.
18 Then Jehu gathered together the entire people. And he said to them: “Ahab worshipped Baal a little, but I will worship him even more.
Jewu abengisaki bato nyonso mpe alobaki na bango: « Akabi azalaki kosalela Bala mingi te, kasi Jewu akosalela ye mingi.
19 Now therefore, summon to me all the prophets of Baal, and all his servants, and all his priests. Let no one be permitted not to come, for great is the sacrifice from me to Baal. Whoever will fail to come, he shall not live.” Now Jehu was doing this treacherously, so that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
Sik’oyo, bobengisa basakoli nyonso ya Bala, basambeli na ye nyonso mpe banganga-nzambe na ye nyonso. Bosala ete moto moko te azanga, pamba te nakobonza mbeka ya monene mpo na Bala. Moto nyonso oyo akozanga, akokufa. » Jewu asalelaki mayele mabe mpo na koboma basambeli ya Bala.
20 And he said: “Sanctify a day of solemnity for Baal.” And he summoned
Jewu alobaki: « Bobengisa mayangani mpo na lokumu ya Bala. » Boye babengisaki mayangani yango.
21 and sent into all the borders of Israel. And all the servants of Baal came. There was left behind not even one who did not arrive. And they entered into the temple of Baal. And the house of Baal was filled, all the way from end to end.
Jewu apanzaki sango kati na Isalaele, basambeli nyonso ya Bala bayaki mpe moto moko te azangaki. Bakotaki ebele na ndako ya nzambe Bala mpe batondisaki yango kino na basuka nyonso.
22 And he said to those who were over the vestments, “Bring forth vestments for all the servants of Baal.” And they brought forth vestments for them.
Jewu alobaki na mobateli bilamba ya bonganga-nzambe ya Bala: « Yaka na bilamba mpo na basambeli nyonso ya Bala. » Boye abimisaki bilamba mpo na bango.
23 And Jehu, upon entering the temple of Baal with Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, said to the worshippers of Baal, “Inquire and see that there is no one with you from the servants of the Lord, but only from the servants of Baal.”
Bongo Jewu elongo na Yonadabi, mwana mobali ya Rekabi, bakotaki na ndako ya nzambe Bala. Jewu alobaki na basambeli ya Bala: « Botala malamu-malamu na zingazinga na bino mpo ete basali ya Yawe bazala elongo na bino te, kaka basali ya Bala. »
24 Then they entered, so that they might offer victims and holocausts. But Jehu had prepared for himself eighty men outside. And he had said to them, “If anyone escapes from among these men, whom I have led into your hands, your life will take the place of his life.”
Bakotaki mpo na kobongisa bambeka mpe batumbaki yango. Nzokande, Jewu atiaki bato tuku mwambe libanda na likebisi oyo: « Soki moto moko kati na bino akimisi moko kati na bato oyo napesi na maboko na bino, akofuta bomoi na ye na motuya ya bomoi ya moto oyo akimi. »
25 Then it happened that, when the holocaust had been completed, Jehu ordered his soldiers and officers, saying: “Enter and strike them down. Let no one escape.” And the soldiers and officers struck them down with the edge of the sword, and they cast them out. And they went into the city of the temple of Baal,
Tango kaka Jewu asilisaki kobongisa mbeka ya kotumba, apesaki mitindo epai na bakengeli mpe na bakambi na bango: « Bokota mpe boboma bango. Bokimisa moto moko te. » Boye, babomaki bango na mopanga. Bakengeli mpe bakonzi ya basoda babwakaki bibembe na libanda mpe bakotaki kino na esika ya bule ya ndako ya nzambe Bala.
26 and they took away the statue from the shrine of Baal, and they burned it up
Babimisaki libanga ya bule na libanda ya ndako ya nzambe Bala mpe batumbaki yango.
27 and crushed it. They also tore down the temple of Baal, and they made it into a latrine, even to this day.
Babukaki libanga yango ya bule, bakweyisaki ndako ya nzambe Bala mpe bakomisaki yango zongo kino na mokolo ya lelo.
28 And thus did Jehu wipe away Baal from Israel.
Ezali bongo nde Jewu asukisaki losambo ya Bala kati na Isalaele.
29 Yet truly, he did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. Neither did he forsake the golden calves, which were in Bethel and Dan.
Kasi Jewu atikaki te masumu ya Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, oyo, na nzela na yango, akweyisaki Isalaele na lisumu. Lisumu yango ezali: kosambela bikeko ya bangombe ya wolo, na Beteli mpe na Dani.
30 Then the Lord said to Jehu: “Since you have diligently carried out what was right and pleasing in my eyes, and since you have accomplished, against the house of Ahab, all that was in my heart, your sons shall sit upon the throne of Israel, even to the fourth generation.”
Yawe alobaki na Jewu: « Lokola osali malamu mpo na kokokisa oyo ezali sembo na miso na Ngai, mpe lokola osali na libota ya Akabi nyonso oyo nakanaki kosala, bakitani na yo bakovanda na kiti ya bokonzi ya Isalaele kino na molongo ya minei. »
31 But Jehu did not take care, so that he might walk in the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart. For he did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, who had caused Israel to sin.
Nzokande, Jewu asalaki bokebi te mpo na kobatela mibeko ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, na motema na ye mobimba. Atikaki te masumu ya Jeroboami oyo, na nzela na yango, akweyisaki Isalaele na lisumu.
32 In those days, the Lord began to be weary of Israel. And Hazael struck them throughout all the parts of Israel,
Na tango wana, Yawe abandaki kokomisa moke bandelo ya Isalaele. Azaeli alongaki bana ya Isalaele, na mokili na bango,
33 from the Jordan opposite the eastern region, in all the land of Gilead, and Gad, and Reuben, and Manasseh, from Aroer, which is above the torrent Arnon, in both Gilead and Bashan.
na este ya Yordani, na etuka nyonso ya Galadi (mabele ya libota ya Gadi, ya Ribeni mpe ya Manase), longwa na Aroeri oyo ezali pembeni ya moluka ya Arinoni kino na Galadi mpe Bashani.
34 But the rest of the words of Jehu, and all that he did, and his strength, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Jewu, misala na ye nyonso mpe elonga na ye ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.
35 And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz, his son, reigned in his place.
Jewu akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye na Samari. Bongo Yoakazi, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
36 Now the days during which Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria, were twenty-eight years.
Jewu akonzaki Isalaele, na Samari mibu tuku mibale na mwambe.
