2 Masolo ya Kala 11
1 Tango Roboami azongaki na Yelusalemi, asangisaki mabota ya Yuda mpe ya Benjame, aponaki bilombe ya bitumba nkoto nkama moko na tuku mwambe mpo na kobundisa Isalaele mpe kozongisa bokonzi na maboko ya Roboami.
When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2 Kasi Yawe alobaki na Shemaya, moto na Nzambe:
But the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3 — Yebisa Roboami, mwana mobali ya Salomo, mokonzi ya Yuda, mpe bana nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazali kati na Yuda mpe Benjame:
"Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Bokende te kobundisa bandeko na bino! Tika ete moto moko na moko azonga na ndako na ye, pamba te ngai moko nde nasali makambo nyonso oyo eleki. › » Batosaki Liloba na Yawe, bazongaki na bandako na bango mpe batikaki mabongisi ya kobundisa Jeroboami.
'Thus says Jehovah, "You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers. Return every man to his house; for this thing is of me."'" So they listened to the word of Jehovah, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5 Wana Roboami avandaki na Yelusalemi, atongaki bamir zingazinga ya bingumba ebele ya Yuda mpo na kolendisa yango.
Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.
6 Alendisaki Beteleemi, Etami, Tekoa,
He built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
7 Beti-Tsuri, Soko, Adulami,
Beth Zur, and Soco, and Adullam,
8 Gati, Maresha, Zifi,
and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
9 Adorayimi, Lakishi, Azeka,
and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
10 Tsorea, Ayaloni mpe Ebron. Oyo nde ezalaki bingumba batonga makasi kati na Yuda mpe Benjame.
and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
11 Atongaki zingazinga na yango bamir, atiaki kuna bayangeli mpe bibombelo ya biloko ya kolia, ya mafuta mpe ya vino.
He fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of food, and oil and wine.
12 Kati na bingumba yango nyonso, atiaki banguba minene mpe makonga mpo na kokomisa yango makasi koleka. Boye Yuda mpe Benjame ekomaki ya Roboami.
He put shields and spears in every city, and made them exceeding strong. Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
13 Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi oyo bazalaki kati na Isalaele mobimba bayaki kosangana na Roboami wuta na bituka na bango nyonso.
The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their border.
14 Balevi batikaki bandako mpe mabele na bango, bakendeki na Yuda mpe na Yelusalemi, pamba te Jeroboami mpe bana na ye ya mibali bapekisaki bango kosala mosala na bango ya bonganga-Nzambe ya Yawe.
For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest's office to Jehovah;
15 Boye, ye moko Jeroboami aponaki banganga-nzambe mpo na bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpe mpo na banzambe ya bikeko oyo asalaki na lolenge ya bantaba ya mibali mpe ya bana ngombe.
and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the male goats, and for the calves which he had made.
16 Bato ya mabota nyonso ya Isalaele, oyo balukaka Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, na mitema na bango mobimba balandaki Balevi, na Yelusalemi, mpo na kobonzela Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango, mbeka.
After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek Jehovah, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Jehovah, the God of their fathers.
17 Mibu misato, balendisaki bokonzi ya Yuda mpe nguya ya Roboami, mwana mobali ya Salomo; pamba te mibu misato yango, balandaki ndakisa ya Davidi mpe ya Salomo.
So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years; for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.
18 Roboami abalaki Maalati, mwana mwasi ya Yerimoti, mwana mobali ya Davidi mpe ya Abiyaili, mwana mwasi ya Eliabi, mwana mobali ya Izayi.
Rehoboam took him a wife, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
19 Maalati abotelaki Roboami bana mibali oyo: Yewushi, Shemaria mpe Zaami.
and she bore him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
20 Sima, Roboami abalaki Maaka, mwana mwasi ya Abisalomi, oyo abotelaki ye: Abiya, Atayi, Ziza mpe Shelomiti.
After her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 Roboami alingaki mingi Maaka, mwana mwasi ya Abisalomi, koleka basi mpe bamakangu na ye nyonso. Azalaki na basi zomi na mwambe mpe bamakangu tuku motoba; mpe abotaki bana mibali tuku mibale na mwambe mpe bana basi tuku motoba.
Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his secondary wives: (for he took eighteen wives, and sixty secondary wives, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.)
22 Roboami aponaki Abiya, mwana mobali ya Maaka, mpo ete azala mokambi ya liboso ya bandeko na ye ya mibali, pamba te azalaki na makanisi ya kokomisa ye mokonzi.
Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, the prince among his brothers; for he intended to make him king.
23 Boye, asalelaki mayele ya kopanza bana na ye nyonso ya mibali kati na bituka nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Benjame, kati na bingumba nyonso batonga makasi; apesaki bango bilei mpe basi ebele.
He dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city: and he gave them food in abundance. He sought for them many wives.
