1 Bakonzi 15

1 Tango Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, akokisaki mibu zomi na mwambe na bokonzi, Abiyami akomaki mokonzi ya Yuda.

Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.

2 Awumelaki mibu misato na bokonzi, na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Maaka. » Maaka azalaki mwana ya Abisalomi.

He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

3 Asalaki masumu nyonso oyo tata na ye asalaki liboso ete Abiyami akoma mokonzi. Apesaki te motema na ye mobimba epai na Yawe, Nzambe na ye, ndenge ezalaki motema ya Davidi, koko na ye.

He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father.

4 Nzokande, mpo na Davidi, Yawe Nzambe na ye, apesaki Abiyami mwinda kati na Yelusalemi, wana atiaki mwana na ye ya mobali mpo na kokitana na ye na bokonzi mpe kokomisa Yelusalemi makasi.

Nevertheless for David's sake, Jehovah his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem;

5 Pamba te Davidi asalaki makambo ya malamu na miso ya Yawe mpe abatelaki mibeko ya Yawe mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ye, longola kaka likambo moko: likambo ya Iri, moto ya Iti.

because David did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and did not turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hethite.

6 Mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya Abiyami, ndako ya Roboami ezalaki kaka na bitumba na ndako ya Jeroboami.

[Now there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.]

7 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Abiyami mpe misala na ye, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda. Bitumba ezalaki kati na Jeroboami mpe Abiyami.

The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

8 Abiyami akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Asa, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.

Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the City of David: and Asa his son reigned in his place.

9 Tango Jeroboami, mokonzi ya Isalaele, asalaki mibu tuku mibale na bokonzi, Asa akomaki mokonzi ya Yuda.

In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah.

10 Asalaki mibu tuku minei na moko na bokonzi, na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya koko na ye ya mwasi ezalaki « Maaka. » Maaka azalaki mwana mwasi ya Abisalomi.

He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

11 Asa asalaki makambo ya malamu na miso ya Yawe, ndenge Davidi, koko na ye, asalaki.

Asa did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, as did David his father.

12 Abenganaki wuta na mokili, bato oyo bazalaki komipesa na kindumba ya bule, mpe alongolaki banzambe nyonso ya bikeko oyo tata na ye asalaki.

And he banished the male temple prostitutes out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

13 Alongolaki ezala Maaka, koko na ye ya mwasi, na lokumu ya mama ya mokonzi; pamba te Maaka asalelaki nzambe mwasi Ashera ekeko ya soni. Asa abukaki mpe atumbaki ekeko yango ya soni kati na lubwaku ya Sedron.

Also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it in the Kidron Valley.

14 Nzokande, atako abebisaki te bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, Asa abatelaki motema na ye sembo na miso ya Yawe, na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ye.

But the high places were not taken away: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Jehovah all his days.

15 Azongisaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe biloko oyo tata na ye mpe ye moko babulisaki: palata, wolo mpe biloko mosusu.

He brought into the house of Jehovah the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.

16 Na mikolo nyonso oyo Asa mpe Baesha, mokonzi ya Isalaele, bazalaki na bokonzi, bazalaki kaka na bitumba.

There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

17 Baesha, mokonzi ya Isalaele, abundisaki Yuda mpe alendisaki bamir ya engumba Rama mpo na kopekisa bato kokota to kobima na mokili ya Asa, mokonzi ya Yuda.

Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

18 Asa azwaki palata mpe wolo nyonso oyo etikalaki kati na bibombelo bomengo ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe ya ndako ya mokonzi; apesaki yango na maboko ya basali na ye mpe atindaki bango epai ya Beni-Adadi, mwana mobali ya Tabirimoni, mwana mobali ya Ezioni, mokonzi ya Siri, oyo azalaki kovanda na Damasi. Atindelaki ye mpe maloba oyo:

Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived at Damascus, saying,

19 « Tika ete tosala boyokani kati na ngai mpe yo ndenge ezalaki kati na tata na ngai mpe tata na yo. Tala, natindeli yo kado ya palata mpe ya wolo. Kende kokata boyokani na yo elongo na Baesha, mokonzi ya Isalaele, mpo ete abundisa ngai lisusu te. »

"Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. Look, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me."

20 Beni-Adadi andimaki maloba ya mokonzi Asa mpe atindaki bakonzi ya basoda na ye kobundisa bingumba ya Isalaele. Abotolaki Iyoni, Dani, Abele-Beti-Maaka, etuka mobimba ya Kinereti mpe mokili nyonso ya Nefitali.

Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Kinnereth, with all the land of Naphtali.

21 Tango kaka Baesha ayokaki bongo, atikaki kolendisa engumba Rama mpe akendeki kovanda na Tiritsa.

It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.

22 Bongo mokonzi Asa abengisaki bato nyonso ya Yuda, kolongola ata moto moko te; mpe bamemaki longwa na Rama mabanga mpe mabaya oyo Baesha azalaki kosalela kuna. Mokonzi Asa asalelaki yango mpo na kolendisa engumba Geba kati na etuka ya Benjame, mpe engumba Mitsipa.

Then king Asa made a proclamation to all Judah; none was exempted: and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

23 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Asa, molende na ye, misala na ye nyonso mpe bingumba na ye nyonso oyo atongaki, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda. Tango akomaki mobange, akomaki kobela makolo.

Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

24 Asa akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Davidi, tata na ye. Jozafati, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.

Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.

25 Tango Asa, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu mibale na bokonzi; Nadabi, mwana mobali ya Jeroboami, akomaki mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe akonzaki Isalaele mibu mibale.

Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.

26 Asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, atambolaki na banzela mabe ya tata na ye, oyo atindikaki mpe bato ya Isalaele na kosala masumu.

He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.

27 Baesha, mwana mobali ya Ayiya, moto ya libota ya Isakari, asalelaki ye likita mpe abomaki ye na Gibetoni, moko kati na bingumba ya bato ya Filisitia, na tango oyo Nadabi elongo na Isalaele mobimba bazingelaki Gibetoni.

Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

28 Baesha abomaki Nababi tango Asa, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu misato na bokonzi, mpe akitanaki na Nadabi na bokonzi.

Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him, and reigned in his place.

29 Tango azwaki bokonzi, abomaki libota nyonso ya Jeroboami mpe atikaki ata moto moko te na bomoi kati na libota ya Jeroboami: abomaki bato nyonso kolanda etinda na Yawe na nzela ya mowumbu na ye, Ayiya, moto ya Silo,

It happened that, as soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam: he did not leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him; according to the saying of Jehovah, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;

30 mpo na masumu oyo Jeroboami asalaki mpe atindikaki bato ya Isalaele na kosala. Na bongo, apelisaki kanda ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.

for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger.

31 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Nadabi mpe misala na ye nyonso, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.

Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

32 Na mikolo nyonso oyo Asa mpe Baesha, mokonzi ya Isalaele, bazalaki na bokonzi, bazalaki kaka na bitumba.

There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

33 Tango Asa, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu misato na bokonzi, Baesha, mwana mobali ya Ayiya, akomaki mokonzi ya Isalaele mobimba, na Tiritsa. Asalaki mibu tuku mibale na minei na bokonzi.

In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah for twenty-four years.

34 Baesha asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, na komekola banzela ya Jeroboami oyo atindikaki bato ya Isalaele na kosala masumu na ye.

He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
