2 Chronicles 32
1 After these things and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to break into them.
Sima na Ezekiasi kotalisa boyengebene na ye epai ya Nzambe, Senakeribe, mokonzi ya Asiri, ayaki kobundisa Yuda. Azingelaki bingumba batonga makasi, pamba te azalaki na posa ya kobotola yango.
2 And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was minded to fight against Jerusalem,
Tango Ezekiasi amonaki ete Senakeribe ayei mpe azali na makanisi ya kobundisa Yelusalemi,
3 he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the fountains of waters that were outside the city; and they helped him.
apesaki bakalaka mpe bakonzi ya basoda na ye likanisi ya kokanga bitima oyo ezalaki na libanda ya engumba. Bango nyonso bandimaki likanisi yango mpe basungaki ye.
4 And there was gathered together much people, and they stopped all the fountains, and the torrent that flows through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?
Bato ebele basanganaki mpe bakangaki bitima nyonso elongo na mayi oyo ezalaki kotiola na se ya mabele. Balobaki: — Mpo na nini bakonzi ya Asiri baya kokuta mayi ebele?
5 And he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised it up to the towers, and [built] another wall outside, and fortified the Millo of the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.
Ezekiasi asalaki mosala makasi ya kobamba madusu ya mir mpe ya kobakisa bosanda ya bandako milayi; atongaki mir mosusu na libanda, alendisaki mir ya engumba ya Davidi mpe asalaki lisusu makonga mpe banguba ebele.
6 And he set captains of war over the people, and assembled them to him on the open place at the gate of the city, and spoke consolingly to them saying,
Atiaki bakonzi ya basoda mpo ete bakamba bato mpe asangisaki bango liboso na ye, na esika oyo ezali pene ya ekuke ya engumba. Alendisaki bango na maloba oyo:
7 Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him; for there are more with us than with him:
— Bozala makasi mpe boyika mpiko! Bobanga te mpe bolenga te liboso ya mokonzi ya Asiri mpe ya mampinga ya basoda ebele oyo bazali elongo na ye, pamba te Ye oyo azali elongo na biso azali na nguya monene koleka ye.
8 with him is an arm of flesh, but with us is Jehovah our God to help us and to fight our battles. And the people depended upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
Mokonzi oyo ya Asiri azali kaka na nguya ya bomoto; kasi biso, tozali elongo na Yawe, Nzambe na biso, oyo akosunga mpe akobundela biso bitumba. Boye bato batiaki elikya na maloba oyo Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, alobaki.
9 After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem (but he himself was before Lachish, and all his power with him), unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,
Sima na yango, wana Senakeribe, mokonzi ya Asiri, elongo na mampinga ya basoda na ye nyonso bazingelaki engumba Lakishi, atindaki bakonzi ya basoda na ye epai ya Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, mpe epai ya bato nyonso ya Yuda, oyo bazalaki na Yelusalemi; atindaki bango kopesa sango oyo:
10 Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria: On what do ye rely that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?
« Tala makambo oyo Senakeribe, mokonzi ya Asiri, alobi: Botie elikya na bino na nini mpo ete bowumela kati na Yelusalemi oyo bazingeli?
11 Does not Hezekiah persuade you, to give yourselves over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Jehovah our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Bozali komona te ete Ezekiasi azali kokosa bino mpo ete bokufa na nzala mpe na posa ya mayi tango azali koloba: ‹ Yawe, Nzambe na biso, akokangola biso na loboko ya mokonzi ya Asiri? ›
12 Has not the same Hezekiah removed his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?
Boni, ezali kaka Ezekiasi wana te oyo alongolaki bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpe bitumbelo ya banzambe tango alobaki na Yuda mpe na Yelusalemi: ‹ Bosengeli kogumbama liboso ya etumbelo moko kaka mpe kobonza mbeka ya malasi na likolo ya etumbelo yango? ›
13 Do ye not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the countries? Were the gods of the nations of the countries in any wise able to deliver their country out of my hand?
Boyebi te makambo oyo ngai mpe batata na ngai tosalaki bato nyonso ya bikolo mosusu? Boni, banzambe ya bikolo wana bakokaki solo kokangola mikili na bango na maboko na ngai?
14 Who is there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers have utterly destroyed, that was able to deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?
Kati na banzambe nyonso ya bikolo oyo batata na ngai babebisaki, nani akokaki kokangola bato na ye na maboko na ngai? Bongo ndenge nini Nzambe na bino akoka solo kokangola bino na maboko na ngai?
15 And now, let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this manner, neither yet believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, nor out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand?
Sik’oyo, botika te ete Ezekiasi amema bino na libunga mpe akosa bino ndenge wana; bondimela ye te! Pamba te soki nzambe moko te ya ekolo songolo to ya mokili pakala alongaki kokangola bato na ye na loboko na ngai mpe na loboko ya batata na ngai, bongo nzambe na bino nde akolonga kokangola bino na loboko na ngai? »
16 And his servants spoke yet more against Jehovah, the [true] God, and against his servant Hezekiah.
Bakonzi ya basoda ya Senakeribe bakobaki koloba mabe na tina na Yawe Nzambe mpe Ezekiasi, mosali na Ye.
17 And he wrote a letter to rail at Jehovah the God of Israel, and to speak against him saying, As the gods of the nations of the countries have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of my hand.
Senakeribe akomaki lisusu mikanda mpo na kofinga Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele. Tala maloba mabe oyo akomaki na tina na Ye: « Ndenge banzambe ya bato ya bikolo mosusu balongaki te kokangola bato na bango, ndenge wana mpe nzambe ya Ezekiasi akolonga te kokangola bato na ye na maboko na ngai. »
18 And they cried with a loud voice in the Jewish [language] to the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to frighten them and to trouble them; that they might take the city.
Boye bagangaki na lokota ya Ebre mpo na kolengisa mpe kobangisa bato ya Yelusalemi oyo batelemaki likolo ya mir, mpo ete bakoka kobotola engumba.
19 And they spoke of the God of Jerusalem as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, the work of man's hand.
Balobaki na tina na Nzambe ya Yelusalemi lokola bato oyo bazali kolobela nzambe moko ya bapagano, nzambe oyo bato basali na ndenge mpe na maboko na bango!
20 And because of this, king Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz prayed and cried to heaven.
Mokonzi Ezekiasi mpe mosakoli Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, babondelaki Nzambe na tina na yango mpe bagangaki na ngambo ya Lola mpo na kosenga lisungi.
21 And Jehovah sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the princes and the captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. And he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels made him fall there with the sword.
Yawe atindaki anjelu moko oyo abomaki basoda nyonso ya mpiko, bakonzi ya basoda elongo na bakambi kati molako ya mokonzi ya Asiri. Mokonzi ya Asiri azongaki na mokili na ye na soni makasi. Mpe tango akotaki na ndako ya nzambe na ye, bana na ye ya mibali babomaki ye na mopanga.
22 And Jehovah saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all, and protected them on every side.
Ezalaki ndenge wana nde Yawe akangolaki Ezekiasi mpe bato ya Yelusalemi na maboko ya Senakeribe, mokonzi ya Asiri, mpe na maboko ya banguna mosusu; mpe apesaki bango kimia na bangambo nyonso.
23 And many brought gifts unto Jehovah to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; and he was thenceforth magnified in the sight of all the nations.
Bato ebele bamemaki na Yelusalemi makabo mpo na Yawe mpe bakado ya motuya mpo na Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda. Wuta tango wana, lokumu ya Ezekiasi emataki makasi na miso ya bikolo nyonso.
24 In those days Hezekiah was sick unto death, and he prayed to Jehovah; and he spoke to him and gave him a sign.
Na tango wana, Ezekiasi abelaki bokono moko ya makasi, pene akufa. Asambelaki Yawe; mpe Yawe ayanolaki, apesaki ye elembo moko ya kokamwa.
25 But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit [done] to him, for his heart was lifted up; and there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
Kasi mpo ete Ezekiasi akomaki na lolendo, atambolaki lisusu te na lolenge ya kondima bolamu ya Nzambe mpe ya kozongisela Ye matondi; mpo na yango, Yawe asilikelaki ye, Yuda mpe Yelusalemi.
26 And Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of Jehovah came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
Bongo Ezekiasi amikitisaki, atikaki lolendo na ye mpe abongolaki motema. Bato ya Yelusalemi mpe basalaki lokola Ezekiasi. Boye, Yawe akweyiselaki bango kanda na Ye te na mikolo nyonso oyo Ezekiasi azalaki mokonzi.
27 And Hezekiah had very much riches and honour; and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant vessels;
Ezekiasi azalaki na bozwi ebele mpe na lokumu mingi, abombaki palata, wolo, mabanga ya talo, biloko ya solo kitoko, banguba mpe biloko nyonso ya talo.
28 storehouses also for the increase of corn and new wine and oil, and stalls for all manner of beasts, and [he procured] flocks for the stalls.
Atongaki bibombelo ya ble, ya vino ya sika mpe ya mafuta; atongaki lisusu mapango mpe bandako mpo na bibwele na ye.
29 And he provided for himself cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God gave him very much substance.
Atongaki bingumba mpe akomaki na bibwele ebele: bantaba, bameme mpe bangombe. Nzambe apesaki ye bozwi mingi.
30 And he, Hezekiah, stopped the upper outlet of the waters of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
Ezali mpe Ezekiasi moto akangaki monoko ya etima ya Giyoni mpe alekisaki mayi na yango na se ya mabele, na ngambo ya weste ya engumba ya Davidi. Ezekiasi azalaki kolonga na misala na ye nyonso.
31 However in [the matter of] the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all [that was] in his heart.
Kasi tango bakambi ya Babiloni batindelaki ye bakalaka mpo na kotuna ye na tina na elembo ya kokamwa oyo esalemaki kati na mokili, Nzambe atikaki Ezekiasi kosala na ndenge na ye moko mpo na komeka ye mpe koyeba mozindo ya motema na ye.
32 And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Makambo mosusu oyo etali Ezekiasi elongo na misala ya botosi na ye kati na makambo ya Nzambe, ekomama kati na emoniseli ya mosakoli Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, mpe kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele.
33 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the highest place of the sepulchres of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
Ezekiasi akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye na ngomba moke epai wapi bakunda ya bakitani ya Davidi ezali. Bato nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi bapesaki ye lokumu tango akufaki, mpe Manase, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
