2 Chronicles 19
1 And Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah returned safe to his house in Ierusalem.
Tango Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, azongaki mobimba na ndako na ye na Yelusalemi,
2 And Iehu the sonne of Hanani the Seer went out to meete him, and said to King Iehoshaphat, Wouldest thou helpe the wicked, and loue them that hate the Lord? therefore for this thing the wrath of the Lord is vpon thee.
mosakoli Jewu, mwana mobali ya Anani, akendeki kokutana na ye. Alobaki na mokonzi Jozafati: « Mpo na nini kosunga moto mabe mpe kolinga bato oyo bayinaka Yawe? Mpo ete osali bongo, kanda makasi ya Yawe ezali likolo na yo.
3 Neuertheles good things are found in thee, because thou hast taken away ye groues out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seeke God.
Kasi atako bongo, makambo malamu emonani kati na yo, pamba te olongolaki makonzi ya nzambe Ashera mpe obongisaki motema na yo mpo na koluka Nzambe. »
4 So Iehoshaphat dwelt at Ierusalem, and returned and went through the people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them againe vnto the Lord God of their fathers.
Jozafati avandaki na Yelusalemi mpe atambolaki lisusu kati na bato longwa na Beri-Sheba kino na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi, mpe azongisaki bana ya Isalaele epai na Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bango.
5 And hee set iudges in the lande throughout all the strong cities of Iudah, citie by citie,
Atiaki basambisi kati na mokili, kati na bingumba nyonso ya Yuda, oyo batonga makasi.
6 And said to the iudges, Take heede what ye doe: for yee execute not the iudgements of man, but of the Lord, and he will be with you in the cause and iudgement.
Alobaki na bango: « Bozala na bokebi na mosala oyo bokosala, pamba te bokosambisa te mpo na bato, kasi mpo na Yawe oyo azali elongo na bino na bisika nyonso oyo bokokata makambo.
7 Wherefore nowe let the feare of the Lord be vpon you: take heede, and do it: for there is no iniquitie with the Lord our God, neither respect of persons, nor receiuing of reward.
Sik’oyo, tika botosi ya Yawe ezala kati na bino. Bokata makambo na bosolo; pamba te epai na Yawe, Nzambe na biso, makambo oyo ezalaka te: kozanga bosembo, kopona bilongi mpe kanyaka. »
8 Moreouer in Ierusalem did Iehoshaphat set of the Leuites, and of the Priests and of the chiefe of the families of Israel, for the iudgement and cause of the Lord: and they returned to Ierusale.
Kati na Yelusalemi, Jozafati aponaki Balevi, Banganga-Nzambe mpe bakambi ya mabota ya Isalaele mpo na kosambisa kolanda Mibeko ya Yawe mpe kokata makambo ya bavandi ya Yelusalemi.
9 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall yee doe in the feare of the Lord faithfully and with a perfite heart.
Apesaki bango mitindo oyo: « Bosengeli kosala na boyengebene, na motema mobimba mpe na botosi epai na Yawe.
10 And in euery cause that shall come to you of your brethren that dwel in their cities, betweene blood and blood, betweene law and precept, statutes and iudgements, ye shall iudge them, and admonish them that they trespasse not against the Lord, that wrath come not vpon you and vpon your brethren. This shall ye do and trespasse not.
Tango nyonso likambo ekowuta epai na bandeko na bino oyo bavandaka na engumba mpe ekokoma liboso na bino, ezala ya koboma to ya kobuka mibeko, mitindo, bikateli to malako, bosengeli kokebisa bango ete basala masumu te liboso ya Yawe; soki te, kanda na Ye ekokweyela bino mpe bandeko na bino. Bosala bongo mpe bokozala na pamela te.
11 And behold, Amariah the Priest shalbe the chiefe ouer you in all matters of the Lord, and Zebadiah ye sonne of Ishmael, a ruler of the house of Iudah, shalbe for al the Kings affaires, and the Leuites shalbe officers before you. Bee of courage, and doe it, and the Lord shalbe with the good.
Amaria, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, akozala mokambi na bino mpo na makambo nyonso oyo etali Yawe; mpe Zebadia, mwana mobali ya Isimaeli, mokonzi ya libota ya Yuda, akozala mokambi na bino mpo na makambo nyonso oyo etali mokonzi. Balevi bakozala lokola bakalaka liboso na bino. Bozala na mpiko mpe bosala mosala! Mpe tika ete Yawe azala elongo na bato oyo bakosala malamu! »
