< 2 Chronicles 25 >
1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem.
Amatsia azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na mitano ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku mibale na libwa na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Yeoyadani. » Yeoyadani azalaki moto ya Yelusalemi.
2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not wholeheartedly.
Asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe, kasi na motema na ye mobimba te.
3 As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the king.
Sima na Amatsia kolendisa bokonzi na ye, abomaki bakalaka oyo babomaki tata na ye, mokonzi.
4 Yet he did not put their sons to death, but acted according to what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.”
Nzokande, abomaki te bana mibali ya babomi ya tata na ye, pamba te kolanda ndenge ekomama kati na Mobeko, kati na buku ya Moyize, Yawe apesaki mitindo oyo: « Bakoboma batata te mpo na bana na bango to mpe bakoboma bana te mpo na batata; bakoboma moto na moto mpo na masumu na ye moko. »
5 Then Amaziah gathered the people of Judah and assigned them according to their families to commanders of thousands and of hundreds. And he numbered those twenty years of age or older throughout Judah and Benjamin and found 300,000 chosen men able to serve in the army, bearing the spear and shield.
Amatsia abengisaki bato ya Yuda mpe atiaki, kolanda mabota na bango, bakonzi ya bankoto mpe ya bankama mpo na Yuda mobimba mpe Benjame. Atangaki motango ya bato oyo bazalaki na mibu kobanda tuku mibale mpe komata: bazalaki mibali nkoto nkama misato oyo baselingwa mpo na kosala mosala ya soda, kobunda na makonga mpe na nguba.
6 He also hired 100,000 mighty warriors from Israel for a hundred talents of silver.
Kati na Isalaele, azwaki lisusu na mosala ya soda, na motuya ya bakilo nkoto misato na nkama mitano ya palata, basoda ya mpiko nkoto nkama moko.
7 But a man of God came to him and said, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel—not with any of the Ephraimites.
Kasi moto moko ya Nzambe ayaki epai na ye mpe alobaki: — Oh mokonzi, tika ete basoda ya Isalaele bakende te elongo na yo na bitumba, pamba te Yawe azali te elongo na Isalaele mpe elongo na bato ya Efrayimi.
8 Even if you go and fight bravely in battle, God will make you stumble before the enemy, for God has power to help and power to overthrow.”
Ata soki okeyi kobunda na mpiko nyonso, Nzambe akokweyisa yo liboso ya monguna, pamba te azali na makoki ya kosunga mpe ya kokweyisa.
9 Amaziah asked the man of God, “What should I do about the hundred talents I have given to the army of Israel?” And the man of God replied, “The LORD is able to give you much more than this.”
Amatsia atunaki moto na Nzambe: — Boni, nkoto misato na nkama mitano ya bakilo ya palata oyo napesaki mampinga ya Isalaele ekosuka ndenge nini? Moto na Nzambe azongisaki: — Yawe akoki kopesa yo koleka oyo wana.
10 So Amaziah dismissed the troops who had come to him from Ephraim and sent them home. And they were furious with Judah and returned home in great anger.
Boye, Amatsia azongisaki na bandako na bango, basoda oyo bayaki epai na ye wuta na Efrayimi. Kasi basoda yango basilikelaki Yuda mpe bazongaki na bandako na bango na kanda makasi.
11 Amaziah, however, summoned his strength and led his troops to the Valley of Salt, where he struck down 10,000 men of Seir,
Amatsia azwaki mpiko mpe akambaki mampinga na ye kino na Lubwaku ya mungwa epai wapi abomaki bato ya Seiri nkoto zomi.
12 and the army of Judah also captured 10,000 men alive. They took them to the top of a cliff and threw them down so that all were dashed to pieces.
Bato ya Yuda bakangaki lisusu bato ya bomoi nkoto zomi, bamemaki bango na songe ya ngomba mpe batindikaki bango wuta na songe ya ngomba; mpe bango nyonso bakweyaki na se, banzoto na epanzanaki na biteni.
13 Meanwhile the troops that Amaziah had dismissed from battle raided the cities of Judah, from Samaria to Beth-horon. They struck down 3,000 people and carried off a great deal of plunder.
Na tango wana, basoda oyo Amatsia azongisaki mpe apekisaki kokende na bitumba bakotaki na makasi kati na bingumba ya Yuda longwa na Samari kino na Beti-Oroni. Babomaki bato nkoto misato mpe bamemaki bomengo ebele ya bitumba.
14 When Amaziah returned from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought back the gods of the Seirites, set them up as his own gods, bowed before them, and burned sacrifices to them.
Sima na ye kolonga bato ya Edomi na bitumba, Amatsia azongaki epai na ye; amemaki banzambe ya bikeko ya bato ya Seiri, akomisaki yango banzambe na ye moko, agumbamelaki yango mpe atumbelaki yango mbeka ya malasi.
15 Therefore the anger of the LORD burned against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet, who said, “Why have you sought this people’s gods, which could not deliver them from your hand?”
Mpo na yango, kanda ya Yawe epelelaki Amatsia; mpe Yawe atindaki mosakoli moko kotuna Amatsia: — Mpo na nini ozali kogumbamela banzambe ya bato wana oyo ekokaki ata kokangola bato na yango te na loboko na yo?
16 While he was still speaking, the king asked, “Have we made you the counselor to the king? Stop! Why be struck down?” So the prophet stopped, but he said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not heeded my advice.”
Wana azalaki nanu koloba, mokonzi alobaki na ye: — Kata! Nani atie yo mopesi toli ya mokonzi? Kanga monoko na yo, soki te bakoboma yo! Mosakoli abendaki nzoto; kasi, liboso ya kokende, alobaki: — Lokola osali boye mpe oboyi koyoka toli na ngai, nandimisami ete Nzambe azwi mokano ya koboma yo.
17 Then Amaziah king of Judah took counsel and sent word to the king of Israel Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said.
Sima na Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda, kotuna toli epai ya bapesi toli na ye, abetaki mondenge na Joasi, mwana mobali ya Yoakazi mpe koko ya Jewu, mokonzi ya Isalaele; alobaki: — Yaka tobunda!
18 But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle.
Kasi Joasi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, azongiselaki Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda: — Mokolo moko, nzete ya sende ya Libani etindaki maloba epai ya nzete ya sedele ya Libani: « Balisa mwana na yo ya mwasi epai ya mwana na ngai ya mobali. » Kasi nyama moko ya zamba ya Libani elekaki mpe enyataki nzete ya sende.
19 You have said, ‘Look, I have defeated Edom,’ and your heart has become proud and boastful. Now stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”
Solo, ozali komilobela ete olongi Edomi, mpe motema ezali kosepela mpe komikumisa. Tala, ekoleka malamu ete ovanda na ndako na yo. Mpo na nini koluka ete pasi makasi ekweyela yo elongo na Yuda?
20 But Amaziah would not listen, for this had come from God in order to deliver them into the hand of Jehoash, because they had sought the gods of Edom.
Kasi Amatsia ayokaki ye te, pamba te Nzambe nde asalaki bongo mpo na kokaba bango na maboko ya Joasi, mpo ete basambelaki banzambe ya Edomi.
21 So Jehoash king of Israel advanced, and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
Boye Joasi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, akendeki kobundisa Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda. Ye mpe Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda, babundaki na Beti-Shemeshi kati na mokili ya Yuda.
22 And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his own home.
Isalaele alongaki Yuda, mpe bato ya Yuda bakimaki, moto na moto na ndako na ye.
23 There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz. Then Jehoash brought him to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits.
Joasi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, akangaki Amatsia, mokonzi ya Yuda, mwana mobali ya Joasi mpe koko ya Yoakazi, na Beti-Shemeshi. Amemaki ye na Yelusalemi mpe abukaki mir ya Yelusalemi, na molayi ya bametele pene nkama moko na tuku mwambe, longwa na ekuke ya Efrayimi kino na ekuke ya suka.
24 He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the house of God with Obed-edom and in the treasuries of the royal palace, as well as some hostages. Then he returned to Samaria.
Joasi akamataki palata nyonso, wolo nyonso mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Nzambe oyo Obedi-Edomi azalaki kobatela, kati na bibombelo ya ndako ya mokonzi; akangaki bato na bowumbu mpe azongaki na Samari.
25 Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
Amatsia, mwana mobali ya Joasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, awumelaki lisusu na bomoi mibu zomi na mitano sima na kufa ya Joasi, mwana mobali ya Yoakazi, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
26 As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, from beginning to end, are they not written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel?
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Amatsia mpe misala na ye, kobanda na ebandeli kino na suka, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele.
27 From the time that Amaziah turned from following the LORD, a conspiracy was formed against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish, and they killed him there.
Kobanda na tango oyo Amatsia apesaki Yawe mokongo, basalelaki ye likita, na Yelusalemi, mpo na kotelemela ye; mpe akimaki na Lakishi. Kasi batindaki bato mpo ete balanda ye kino na Lakishi, mpe babomaki ye kuna.
28 They carried him back on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
Bamemaki nzoto na ye na likolo ya mpunda mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Yuda.
