< 2 Chronicles 16 >
1 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
Na mobu ya tuku misato na motoba ya bokonzi ya Asa, Baesha, mokonzi ya Isalaele, abundisaki Yuda; alendisaki bamir ya engumba Rama mpo na kopekisa bato kokota to kobima na mokili ya Asa, mokonzi ya Yuda.
2 So Asa withdrew the silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent it with this message to Ben-hadad king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:
Asa azwaki na bibombelo bomengo ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe ya ndako na ye moko palata mpe wolo, mpe atindaki yango epai ya Beni-Adadi, mokonzi ya Siri, oyo azalaki kovanda na Damasi. Atindelaki ye mpe maloba oyo:
3 “Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
« Tika ete tosala boyokani kati na ngai mpe yo ndenge ezalaki kati na tata na ngai mpe tata na yo. Tala, natindeli yo palata mpe wolo. Kende kokata boyokani na yo elongo na Baesha, mokonzi ya Isalaele, mpo ete abundisa ngai lisusu te. »
4 And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
Beni-Adadi andimaki maloba ya mokonzi Asa mpe atindaki bakonzi ya basoda na ye kobundisa bingumba ya Isalaele. Babotolaki Iyoni, Dani, Abele-Mayimi mpe bibombelo nyonso ya bingumba ya Nefitali.
5 When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and abandoned his work.
Tango kaka Baesha ayokaki bongo, atikaki kolendisa engumba Rama mpe akataki misala na yango.
6 Then King Asa brought all the men of Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials he built up Geba and Mizpah.
Bongo mokonzi Asa asangisaki bato nyonso ya Yuda, mpe bamemaki wuta na Rama mabanga mpe mabaya oyo Baesha azalaki kosalela. Atongaki na yango Geba mpe engumba Mitsipa.
7 At that time Hanani the seer came to King Asa of Judah and told him, “Because you have relied on the king of Aram and not on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand.
Na tango wana, Anani, momoni makambo, akendeki epai ya Asa, mokonzi ya Yuda, mpe alobaki na ye: — Lokola otie elikya na yo na mokonzi ya Siri na esika ya kotia elikya na yo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ozali lisusu na bokonzi te likolo ya mampinga ya mokonzi ya Siri.
8 Were not the Cushites and Libyans a vast army with many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, He delivered them into your hand.
Boni, bato ya Etiopi mpe ya Libi bazalaki te mampinga minene ya basoda elongo na bashar mpe basoda ebele oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda? Kasi lokola ozalaki kotia elikya na yo kati na Ye, Yawe akabaki bango solo na maboko na yo.
9 For the eyes of the LORD roam to and fro over all the earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are fully devoted to Him. You have acted foolishly in this matter. From now on, therefore, you will be at war.”
Pamba te Yawe atalaka mokili mobimba mpo na kosunga bato oyo mitema na bango emipesa mobimba epai na Ye. Nzokande, na likambo oyo, osali lokola moto oyo azangi mayele. Mpo na yango, kobanda lelo, okozalaka na bitumba tango nyonso.
10 Asa was angry with the seer and became so enraged over this matter that he put the man in prison. And at the same time Asa oppressed some of the people.
Mokonzi Asa asilikelaki makasi momoni makambo mpe abwakaki ye na boloko. Kaka na tango yango, Asa anyokolaki ndambo ya bato.
11 Now the rest of the acts of Asa, from beginning to end, are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
Makambo mpe misala mosusu ya Asa, kobanda na ebandeli kino na suka, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele.
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his malady became increasingly severe. Yet even in his illness he did not seek the LORD, but only the physicians.
Na mobu ya tuku misato na libwa ya bokonzi na ye, Asa abelaki makasi makolo; mpe, ezala na tango oyo azali kobela makasi, alukaki Yawe te, kasi akendeki epai ya minganga.
13 So in the forty-first year of his reign, Asa died and rested with his fathers.
Na mobu ya tuku minei na moko ya bokonzi na ye, Asa akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye.
14 And he was buried in the tomb that he had cut out for himself in the City of David. They laid him on a bier that was full of spices and various blended perfumes; then they made a great fire in his honor.
Bakundaki ye kati na kunda oyo asalisaki kati na engumba ya Davidi. Balalisaki ye na mbeto moko etonda na malasi, na biloko ya mike-mike ya solo kitoko mpe na kisi oyo basalelaka mpo na kokawusa nzoto ya mowei; mpe batumbaki biloko yango ebele mpo na lokumu na ye.
