2 Kings 16
1 When Pekah had been ruling Israel for almost 17 years, Ahaz, the son of Jotham, became the king of Judah.
Na mobu ya zomi na sambo ya bokonzi ya Peka, mwana mobali ya Remalia, Akazi, mwana mobali ya Yotami, mokonzi ya Yuda, akomaki mokonzi.
2 He was 20 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. He did not do things that pleased Yahweh his God, good things like his ancestor King David had done.
Akazi azalaki na mibu tuku mibale ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu zomi na motoba na Yelusalemi. Asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na ye; nzokande, Davidi, koko na ye, asalaki makambo ya sembo.
3 Instead, he was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He even sacrificed his son as an offering to idols. That was worse than the disgusting things that the people who previously lived there had done, people whom Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis were advancing through the land.
Alandaki banzela oyo bakonzi ya Isalaele batambolaki na yango, atumbaki ata mwana na ye ya mobali na moto lokola mbeka, kolanda misala ya nkele ya bikolo oyo Yawe abenganaki liboso ya bana ya Isalaele.
4 Ahaz offered sacrifices and burned incense [to honor Yahweh] on the tops of many hills and under many [HYP] big trees, [instead of in Jerusalem as Yahweh had commanded].
Abonzaki bambeka mpe atumbaki mbeka ya malasi, na bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, na bangomba mike mpe na se ya banzete ya mibesu.
5 While he was the king of Judah, King Rezin of Assyria and King Pekah of Israel [came with their armies] and attacked Jerusalem. They surrounded the city, but they could not conquer it.
Bongo Retsini, mokonzi ya Siri, mpe Peka, mwana mobali ya Remalia, mokonzi ya Isalaele, bamataki mpo na kobundisa Yelusalemi mpe bazingelaki Akazi, kasi bakokaki kolonga ye te.
6 At that time the [army of the] king of Edom expelled the people of Judah who were living in Elath [city]. Some of the people of Edom started to live there, and they are still living there.
Na tango wana, Retsini, mokonzi ya Siri, azongisaki Eyilati na se ya bokonzi ya Siri. Abenganaki bato ya Yuda oyo bazalaki na Efrate, mpe bato ya Edomi bayaki kovanda kuna kino lelo.
7 King Ahaz sent messengers to King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria, to tell this message to him: “I promise that I will completely do what you tell me to do, [as though] I [was] your son. Please come and rescue us from the armies of Syria and Israel who are attacking my country.”
Akazi atindaki bantoma epai ya Tigilati-Pilezeri, mokonzi ya Asiri, mpo na koloba na ye: « Nazali mosali na yo mpe mwana na yo; yaka kokangola ngai na maboko ya mokonzi ya Siri mpe mokonzi ya Isalaele oyo bayei kobundisa ngai. »
8 Ahaz took the silver and gold that was in the palace and in the temple and sent it to Assyria to be a present/gift for the king of Assyria.
Akazi azwaki palata mpe wolo oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe kati na bibombelo ya ndako ya mokonzi; bongo atindaki yango lokola kado epai ya mokonzi ya Asiri.
9 So Tiglath-Pileser did what Ahaz requested. His army marched to Damascus and captured it, and they took the people of Damascus as prisoners to live in the capital city of Assyria, and executed [King] Rezin.
Mokonzi ya Asiri ayokaki ye, akendeki kobundisa Damasi mpe abotolaki yango. Amemaki bato ya Damasi na bowumbu na Kiri mpe abomaki Retsini.
10 When King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet King Tiglath-Pileser, he saw the altar that was there. So he sent to Uriah, the Supreme Priest [in Jerusalem], a drawing of the altar and a model that was exactly like the altar in Damascus.
Bongo mokonzi Akazi akendeki na Damasi mpo na kokutana na Tigilati-Pilezeri, mokonzi ya Asiri; amonaki etumbelo oyo ezalaki na Damasi mpe atindaki epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Uri elilingi na yango ndenge batongaki yango.
11 So Uriah built an altar [in Jerusalem], following the drawing that King Ahaz had sent. Uriah finished the altar before Ahaz returned [to Jerusalem] from Damascus.
Boye Nganga-Nzambe Uri atongaki etumbelo kolanda elilingi oyo mokonzi Akazi atindaki wuta na Damasi, mpe asilisaki kotonga yango liboso ete mokonzi Akazi azonga wuta na Damasi.
12 When the king returned from Damascus, he saw the altar. He went to it
Tango mokonzi Akazi azongaki wuta na Damasi, amonaki etumbelo, apusanaki pene na yango mpe abonzaki bambeka na likolo na yango.
13 and burned animal sacrifices and a grain offering on it. He also poured a wine offering on it and threw on it the blood of the offerings to maintain fellowship with God.
Atumbaki mbeka na ye mpe likabo ya gato, asopaki likabo ya masanga mpe abwakaki makila ya bambeka ya boyokani na likolo ya etumbelo.
14 The old bronze altar which had been dedicated long ago to Yahweh was between the new altar and the temple, so Ahaz moved it to the north side of his new altar, [which was bigger than the old altar].
Kasi mpo na oyo etali etumbelo ya bronze oyo ezalaki liboso ya Yawe, alongolaki yango na esika na yango liboso ya Ndako ya Nzambe, kati na etumbelo ya sika mpe Tempelo ya Yawe, mpe atiaki yango pembeni ya etumbelo ya sika, na ngambo ya nor.
15 Then King Ahaz ordered Uriah: “Each morning put on this new altar the sacrifices that will be completely burned, and in the evening put on it the grain offering, along with my offering and the offerings that the people bring, ones that will be completely burned, and my grain offering and the people’s grain and wine offerings. Pour against the sides of the altar the blood of all the animals that are sacrificed. But the old bronze altar will be only for me to use to find out what Yahweh wants me to do.”
Mokonzi Akazi apesaki mitindo epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Uri: « Na likolo ya etumbelo monene ya sika, okobanda kobonza mbeka ya kotumba na tongo mpe likabo ya gato na pokwa, mbeka ya kotumba ya mokonzi elongo na likabo na yango ya gato, mpe mbeka ya kotumba ya bato nyonso ya mokili elongo na likabo na bango ya masanga. Okobwaka na etumbelo makila ya bambeka nyonso ya kotumba mpe ya bambeka mosusu. Kasi mpo na oyo etali etumbelo ya bronze, nakokanisa mosala nini nakosala na yango. »
16 So Uriah did what the king commanded him to do.
Nganga-Nzambe Uri asalaki ndenge kaka mokonzi Akazi atindaki.
17 King Ahaz told his workers to take off the frames of the carts [that were outside the temple] and to take down the basins that were on them. They also took down the bronze tank from the backs of the bronze [statues of the] oxen and put it on a stone foundation.
Mokonzi Akazi alongolaki mabaya oyo esimbaka bamesa, mpe alongolaki basani ya minene na likolo na yango; akitisaki nzungu ya monene ya bronze oyo ezalaki na likolo ya bikeko ya bangombe mpe atiaki yango na likolo ya mabanga babongisa malamu.
18 Then to please the king of Assyria, Ahaz had them remove from the temple the roof under which the people walked into the temple on the Sabbath Day, and closed up the private entrance into the temple for the kings of Judah.
Abongolaki shambre ya Saba ya kokotela oyo batongaki na kati ya Ndako ya Nzambe; abongolaki lisusu ekuke ya mokonzi oyo batongaki na libanda ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpo na kosepelisa mokonzi ya Asiri.
19 [If you want to know about] the other things that Ahaz did, they are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Makambo mosusu oyo etali mokonzi Akazi mpe misala na ye, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda.
20 Ahaz died [EUP], and he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried. Then his son Hezekiah became the king.
Akazi akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Ezekiasi, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
