< 2 Chronicles 34 >

1 Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years.
Joziasi azalaki na mibu mwambe ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku misato na moko na Yelusalemi.
2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and walked in the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right or to the left.
Asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe mpe alandaki banzela oyo Davidi, tata na ye, atambolaki na yango: apengwaki na yango te, ezala na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi to na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali.
3 In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, Josiah began to seek the God of his father David, and in the twelfth year he began to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the cast images.
Na mobu ya mwambe ya bokonzi na ye, lokola azalaki nanu elenge, akomaki koluka Nzambe ya Davidi, tata na ye; bongo na mobu ya zomi na mibale, akomaki kopetola Yuda mpe Yelusalemi na kopekisa bato kokende na bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, na kobuka makonzi ya bule ya nzambe mwasi Ashera elongo na bikeko ya banzambe basala na nzete mpe na bibende oyo banyangwisa na moto.
4 Then in his presence the altars of the Baals were torn down, and he cut to pieces the incense altars that were above them. He shattered the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the cast images, crushed them to dust, and scattered them over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
Babukaki liboso na ye bitumbelo ya banzambe Bala, bakweyisaki mbala moko bitumbelo malasi oyo ezalaki na likolo na yango, abukaki makonzi ya bule ya nzambe mwasi Ashera, bikeko ya banzambe basala na nzete mpe na bibende oyo banyangwisa na moto; akomisaki yango putulu mpe asopaki putulu yango na likolo ya bakunda ya bato oyo babonzelaki banzambe yango bambeka.
5 Then he burned the bones of the priests on their altars. So he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
Atumbaki mikuwa ya banganga-nzambe ya bikeko na likolo ya bitumbelo na yango. Ezalaki ndenge wana nde apetolaki Yuda mpe Yelusalemi.
6 Josiah did the same in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, as far as Naphtali, and in the ruins around them.
Abukaki bitumbelo kati na bingumba ya Manase, ya Efrayimi, ya Simeoni kino na Nefitali mpe na bamboka na yango ya zingazinga.
7 He tore down the altars and Asherah poles, crushed the idols to powder, and cut to pieces all the incense altars throughout the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
Abukaki makonzi ya bule ya nzambe mwasi Ashera elongo na bikeko ya banzambe mpe akomisaki yango putulu. Akweyisaki lisusu bitumbelo malasi nyonso kati na mokili mobimba ya Isalaele. Bongo, azongaki na Yelusalemi.
8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, in order to cleanse the land and the temple, Josiah sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah son of Joahaz, the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.
Tango Joziasi akokisaki mibu zomi na mwambe na bokonzi, mpo na kopetola mokili mpe Tempelo, atindaki Shafani, mwana mobali ya Atsalia; Maaseya, moyangeli ya engumba; mpe Yoa, mwana mobali ya Yoakazi mpe mobombi mikanda, mpo na kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na ye.
9 So they went to Hilkiah the high priest and gave him the money that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites at the doors had collected from the people of Manasseh and Ephraim, from all the remnant of Israel, Judah, and Benjamin, and from the people of Jerusalem.
Bakendeki epai ya Ilikia, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, mpe bapesaki ye mbongo oyo bazwaki na Tempelo ya Nzambe, mbongo oyo Balevi oyo bazalaki kokengela ekotelo bakongolaki lokola makabo mpo na Tempelo na maboko ya bato ya Manase, ya Efrayimi, ya batikali ya Isalaele, ya bato nyonso ya Yuda, ya Benjame mpe ya bavandi ya Yelusalemi.
10 They put it into the hands of the supervisors of those doing the work of the house of the LORD, who in turn gave it to the workmen restoring and repairing the house of the LORD.
Bapesaki mbongo yango na maboko ya batambolisi misala ya Tempelo ya Yawe. Bato yango bafutaki basali oyo bazalaki kobongisa mpe kolendisa Tempelo yango;
11 They also gave money to the carpenters and builders to buy dressed stone, as well as timbers for couplings and beams for the buildings that the kings of Judah had allowed to deteriorate.
bapesaki lisusu epai ya basharipantie mpe batongi Tempelo mpo ete basomba mabanga bakata elongo na mabaya mpo na motondo, mpe mpo ete batonga bandako mosusu oyo bakonzi ya Yuda bazalaki kobongisa te tango ezalaki kobeba.
12 And the men did the work faithfully. The Levites overseeing them were Jahath and Obadiah, descendants of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, descendants of Kohath. Other Levites, all skilled with musical instruments,
Bato yango basalaki mosala na bango na boyengebene mpe na bokambami ya Balevi Yaati mpe Abidiasi, bana mibali ya Merari. Zakari mpe Meshulami, bana mibali ya Keati, nde bazalaki kokengela mosala na bango.
13 were over the laborers and supervised all who did the work, task by task. Some of the Levites were secretaries, officers, and gatekeepers.
Balevi yango bayebaki mpe kobeta mindule; bazalaki kokengela bato oyo bazalaki komema biloko ya mosala mpe kokamba ba-oyo nyonso bazalaki kosala misala na bisika nyonso oyo mosala ezalaki kosalema. Balevi mosusu bazalaki bakomi mikanda, balakisi ya Mobeko mpe bakengeli bikuke.
14 While they were bringing out the money that had been taken into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the LORD written by Moses.
Tango bazalaki kobimisa mbongo oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, Nganga-Nzambe Ilikia amonaki buku ya Mobeko ya Yawe, oyo epesamaki na nzela ya Moyize.
15 And Hilkiah said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the LORD!” And he gave it to Shaphan.
Ilikia alobaki na Shafani, mokomi mikanda: — Namoni buku ya Mobeko kati na Tempelo ya Yawe! Mpe apesaki buku yango epai ya Shafani.
16 Then Shaphan brought the book to the king and reported, “Your servants are doing all that has been placed in their hands.
Shafani azwaki buku yango, amemaki yango epai ya mokonzi mpe ayebisaki ye: — Basali na yo bazali kosala makambo nyonso oyo otindaki bango.
17 They have paid out the money that was found in the house of the LORD and have put it into the hands of the supervisors and workers.”
Bapesi mbongo oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe epai ya batambolisi misala mpe epai ya bato oyo bazali kosala misala.
18 Moreover, Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read it in the presence of the king.
Mokomi mikanda, Shafani, alobaki na mokonzi: — Nganga-Nzambe Ilikia apesi ngai buku moko. Mpe Shafani atangaki buku yango liboso ya mokonzi.
19 When the king heard the words of the Law, he tore his clothes
Tango mokonzi ayokaki maloba ya Mobeko, apasolaki bilamba na ye,
20 and commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the king:
apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya Ilikia, epai ya Ayikami, mwana mobali ya Shafani; epai ya Abidoni, mwana mobali ya Mishe; epai ya Shafani, mokomi mikanda, mpe epai ya Asaya, moko kati na bakalaka ya mokonzi:
21 “Go and inquire of the LORD for me and for those remaining in Israel and Judah concerning the words in the book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the LORD that has been poured out on us because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD by doing all that is written in this book.”
— Bokende kotuna toli ya Yawe mpo na ngai mpe mpo na batikali ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda; botuna na tina na makambo oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo ewuti komonana, pamba te kanda ya Yawe, oyo ekweyeli biso ezali makasi mpo ete batata na biso batosaki te Liloba na Yawe mpe basalaki te kolanda nyonso oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo.
22 So Hilkiah and those the king had designated went and spoke to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the Second District.
Ilikia elongo na bato oyo mokonzi aponaki bakendeki epai ya mwasi mosakoli Ulida, mwasi ya Shalumi, mwana mobali ya Tokeati, mwana mobali ya Asira, mobombi bilamba ya Tempelo. Ulida azalaki kovanda na Yelusalemi, na etuka ya sika. Balobaki na ye ndenge bayokanaki.
23 And Huldah said to them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Tell the man who sent you
Ulida alobaki na bango: — Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Boloba na tata oyo atindi bino epai na Ngai:
24 that this is what the LORD says: I am about to bring calamity on this place and on its people, according to all the curses written in the book that has been read in the presence of the king of Judah,
‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Nakobengisa pasi makasi na esika oyo mpe na bavandi na yango kolanda bilakeli mabe nyonso oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo bawuti kotanga liboso ya mokonzi ya Yuda. ›
25 because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. My wrath will be poured out upon this place and will not be quenched.’
Lokola basundolaki Ngai mpe batumbaki mbeka ya malasi mpo na banzambe mosusu kino kotumbola kanda na Ngai na nzela ya biloko oyo maboko na bango esilaki kosala, kanda na Ngai ekopela makasi na esika oyo, mpe ekokita te.
26 But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘As for the words that you heard,
Kasi boloba na mokonzi ya Yuda oyo atindi bino kotuna toli ya Yawe: ‹ Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi na tina na maloba oyo oyokaki:
27 because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its people, and because you have humbled yourself before Me and you have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I have heard you,’ declares the LORD.
Lokola motema na yo etutami, lokola omikitisi liboso ya Nzambe sima na yo koyoka maloba na Ye mpo na kotelemela esika oyo mpe bavandi na yango, lokola omikitisi liboso na Ngai, lokola opasoli bilamba na yo mpe oleli liboso na Ngai, Ngai mpe nayoki, › elobi Yawe,
28 ‘Now I will indeed gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the calamity that I will bring on this place and on its inhabitants.’” So they brought her answer back to the king.
‹ nakosala ete okende kokutana na bakoko na yo, oyo bakufa; mpe okokundama na kimia kati na moko na bakunda na yo. Na bongo, miso na yo ekomona te pasi nyonso oyo nakotindela esika oyo mpe bavandi na yango. › » Batindami bakomisaki eyano oyo epai ya mokonzi.
29 Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Mokonzi Joziasi abengisaki bampaka nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi.
30 And he went up to the house of the LORD with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, as well as the priests and the Levites—all the people small and great—and in their hearing he read all the words of the Book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of the LORD.
Bongo akendeki na Tempelo ya Yawe elongo na bato nyonso ya Yuda, bavandi nyonso ya Yelusalemi, Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi, bato nyonso, kobanda na oyo aleki na lokumu kino na oyo aleki na se. Mokonzi atangelaki bango makomi nyonso ya buku ya Boyokani oyo emonanaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
31 So the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD to follow the LORD and to keep His commandments, decrees, and statutes with all his heart and all his soul, and to carry out the words of this covenant that were written in this book.
Mokonzi atelemaki na etemelo na ye ya kolobela mpe asalaki boyokani oyo liboso ya Yawe: — Nalapi ndayi ete nakolanda Yawe, nakotosa mibeko, mitindo mpe malako na Ye, na motema mpe na elimo na ngai mobimba; mpe nakotosa maloba ya boyokani, oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo.
32 Then he had everyone in Jerusalem and Benjamin take a stand in agreement to it. So all the people of Jerusalem carried out the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
Mokonzi alapisaki ndayi yango bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na Yelusalemi mpe kati na etuka ya Benjame. Mpe bavandi ya Yelusalemi batambolaki kolanda boyokani ya Nzambe, Nzambe ya batata na bango.
33 And Josiah removed all the abominations from all the lands belonging to the Israelites, and he required everyone in Israel to serve the LORD their God. Throughout his reign they did not turn aside from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Joziasi alongolaki banzambe nyonso ya bikeko ya nkele kati na bituka nyonso ya bana ya Isalaele. Apesaki mitindo na bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kati na Isalaele ete basalela Yawe, Nzambe na bango. Na bongo, na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya Joziasi, bapengwaki te liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango.
