2 Chronicles 24
1 Seven years old, was Joash when he began to reign, and, forty years, reigned he, in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
Joasi azalaki na mibu sambo ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku minei na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Tsibia. » Tsibia azalaki moto ya Beri-Sheba.
2 And Joash did that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh, -all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
Joasi asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada.
3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives, —and he begat sons and daughters.
Yeoyada aponaki mpo na Joasi basi mibale oyo babotelaki ye bana mibali mpe bana basi.
4 And it came to pass, after this, that it was near the heart of Joash to renew the house of Yahweh.
Sima na yango, Joasi azwaki mokano ya kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe.
5 So he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said unto them—Go ye out unto the cities of Judah, and gather out of all Israel silver to repair the house of your God, year by year, and, ye, shall hasten the matter, —but the Levites hastened it not.
Abengisaki Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi, alobaki na bango: — Botambola kati na bingumba ya Yuda, bokongola mbongo, mobu na mobu, kati na Isalaele mobimba mpo na kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Bosala yango sik’oyo. Kasi Balevi basalaki yango na lombangu te.
6 Then the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Wherefore hast thou not required of the Levites, to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and of the convocation of Israel, —for the tent of testimony?
Mokonzi abengisaki Yeoyada, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, mpe alobaki na ye: « Mpo na nini olobaki te na Balevi ete bakongola, wuta na Yuda mpe na Yelusalemi, mpako oyo Moyize, mosali na Yawe, akatelaki lisanga ya Isalaele mpo na Ndako ya kapo ya Litatoli? »
7 For, as for Athaliah the Lawless, her sons, brake up the House of God, —moreover, all the hallowed things of the house of Yahweh, offered they unto the Baalim.
Nzokande, bana mibali ya Atali, mwasi mabe, batobolaki madusu mpo na kokota kati na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe basalelaki ata bisalelo na yango nyonso ya bule mpo na losambo ya banzambe Bala.
8 So the king bade [them], and they made a certain chest, —and set it in the gate of the house of Yahweh, outside.
Mokonzi apesaki mitindo ete basala sanduku, batia yango na libanda ya ekuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe
9 And they made a proclamation, throughout Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in unto Yahweh the tribute of Moses the servant of God, laid upon Israel in the desert.
mpe batatola kati na Yuda mpe kati na Yelusalemi ete basengeli komemela Yawe mpako oyo Moyize, mosali na Nzambe, akatelaki Isalaele kati na esobe.
10 And all the rulers and all the people rejoiced, —and brought in and cast into the chest, until they had finished.
Bakalaka nyonso mpe bato nyonso basepelaki na yango: bamemaki mbongo na bango mpe batiaki yango kati na sanduku kino etondaki.
11 And it came to pass, what time the chest was brought into the office of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they had seen that abundant was the silver, that the scribe of the king came in, and the officer of the chief priest, and they emptied the chest, and bare it, and put it back in its place, —thus, they did, day by day, and collected silver, in abundance;
Tango nyonso Balevi bazalaki komema sanduku epai ya bakalaka ya mokonzi mpe bazalaki komona ete ezalaki na mbongo ebele, mokomi mikanda ya mokonzi mpe mobombi biloko ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe bazalaki koya kolongola mbongo oyo ezalaki kati na sanduku mpe kozongisa sanduku na esika na yango. Bazalaki kosala bongo mikolo nyonso mpe bazalaki kokongola mbongo ebele.
12 and the king and Jehoiada gave it unto such as were doing the work of labouring upon the house of Yahweh, and they were hiring masons and carpenters, to renew the house of Yahweh, —moreover also, such as were fashioners of iron and bronze, to repair the house of Yahweh.
Mokonzi mpe Yeoyada bazalaki kopesa yango na bato oyo bazalaki kosala misala ya kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe. Bafutaki babuki mabanga, basharipantie mpe bato oyo basalaka misala ya bibende mpe ya bronze na moto, mpo na kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe.
13 So the doers of the work wrought, and the work of restoration went forward, in their hand, —and they caused the house of God to stand forth according to its due proportions, and made it strong.
Bato oyo bazalaki kosala misala basalaki yango noki, mpe misala ezalaki kotambola malamu na bokambami na bango. Babongisaki Tempelo ya Nzambe ndenge ezalaka.
14 And, when they had finished, they brought in before the king and Jehoiada the rest of the silver, and he made it into utensils for the house of Yahweh, utensils of attendance, and bowls and spoons, even utensils of gold and silver. Then were they offering ascending-sacrifices in the house of Yahweh, continually, all the days of Jehoiada.
Tango basilisaki, bazongisaki epai ya mokonzi mpe Yeoyada mbongo oyo etikalaki. Na mbongo yango, basalaki bisalelo mpo na Tempelo ya Yawe, mpo na losambo, mpo na bambeka ya kotumba, bakopo, mpe bisalelo mosusu ya wolo mpe ya palata. Na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada, bazalaki kobonza bambeka ya kotumba kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
15 But Jehoiada waxed old and became satisfied with days, and died, —a hundred and thirty years old, when he died.
Yeoyada akomaki mobange makasi, atondaki mikolo mpe akufaki tango akokisaki mibu nkama moko na tuku misato ya mbotama.
16 And they buried him in the city of David, with the kings, —because he had done good in Israel, both toward God and his house.
Bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi esika moko na bakonzi mpo na bolamu oyo asalaki kati na Isalaele, mpo na Nzambe mpe mpo na Tempelo ya Yawe.
17 Now, after the death of Jehoiada, came the rulers of Judah, and bowed themselves down unto the king, —then, hearkened the king unto them.
Sima na kufa ya Yeoyada, bakambi ya Yuda bayaki kopesa mokonzi lokumu, mpe mokonzi ayokaki bango.
18 And they forsook the house of Yahweh, God of their fathers, and served the Sacred Stems, and the images, —so there was wrath against Judah and Jerusalem, for this their guilt.
Basundolaki Tempelo ya Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango, mpe bakomaki kogumbamela makonzi ya Ashera mpe banzambe ya bikeko. Mpo na etamboli mabe na bango, kanda ya Yawe ekweyelaki Yuda mpe Yelusalemi.
19 And he sent among them prophets, to bring them back unto Yahweh, —and they testified against them, but they would not give ear.
Atako Yawe atindaki basakoli kati na bango mpo na kozongisa bango epai na Ye, mpe atako basakoli bapamelaki bango, kasi batikalaki kaka koyoka te.
20 And, the spirit of God, clothed Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, and he took his stand above the people, —and said unto them, Thus, saith God, Wherefore are, ye, transgressing the commandments of Yahweh, so that ye cannot prosper, because ye have forsaken Yahweh, therefore hath he forsaken you.
Molimo ya Nzambe akitelaki Zakari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada, mpe Zakari atelemaki liboso ya bato mpe alobaki: « Tala makambo oyo Nzambe alobi: ‹ Mpo na nini bozali kotosa mitindo ya Yawe te? Bokokende liboso te! Lokola bosundoli Yawe, Ye mpe asundoli bino. › »
21 So they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones, by the commandment of the king, —in the court of the house of Yahweh.
Kasi bato basalelaki ye likita; mpe na etinda ya mokonzi, babomaki ye na mabanga kati na lopango ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
22 Thus Joash the king, remembered not, the lovingkindness which Jehoiada his father had done for him, but slew his son, —and, as he died, he said, Yahweh see and require!
Mokonzi Joasi abosanaki bolamu nyonso oyo Yeoyada, tata ya Zakari, asalelaki ye, mpe abomaki Zakari, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada. Tango azalaki kokufa, Zakari alobaki: « Tika ete Yawe amona mpe akata likambo oyo! »
23 And it came to pass, when the year had gone round, that the force of Syria came up against him, and they entered Judah, and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the rulers of the people, from among the people, —and, all the spoil of them, sent they unto the king of Damascus.
Na suka ya mobu, basoda ya Siri babundisaki Joasi, bakotaki na makasi kati na Yuda mpe Yelusalemi, babomaki bakambi nyonso ya bato mpe batindaki bomengo nyonso ya bitumba epai ya mokonzi na bango, na Damasi.
24 Although, with a comparatively few men, came the force of Syria, yet, Yahweh, delivered into their hand an exceeding large force, —because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers, —and, upon Joash, executed they judgments.
Atako ndambo ya basoda ya Siri kaka nde bayaki, kasi Yawe akabaki na maboko na bango mampinga ya bato ya Yuda, oyo elekaki monene, pamba te basundolaki Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango. Boye, basoda ya Siri bakokisaki etumbu oyo ekweyelaki Joasi.
25 And, when they had departed from him, for they left him with sore diseases, his own servants conspired against him, for the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him upon his bed, and he died, —and, though they buried him in the city of David, yet did they not bury him in the sepulchres of the kings.
Tango bato ya Siri bazongaki, batikaki Joasi na bapota minene. Bakalaka na ye basalelaki ye likita na ndenge abomaki mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada mpe babomaki ye na mbeto na ye. Boye, akufaki mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi, kasi kati na bakunda ya bakonzi te.
26 Now, these, are they that conspired against him, —Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
Tala bato oyo basalelaki ye likita: Zabadi, mwana mobali ya Shimeati, mwasi ya mboka Amoni; mpe Yozabadi, mwana mobali ya Shimiriti, mwasi ya Moabi.
27 But, as for his sons, and the greatness of the oracle on him, and the foundation of the house of God, lo! there they are written, in the commentary of the Book of Kings, —and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
Bakombo ya bana na ye ya mibali, maloba nyonso oyo basakolaki mpo na ye mpe mikano oyo babongisaki mpo na Tempelo ya Nzambe ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi. Amatsia, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
