Chronicles II 24
1 Joas was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Sabia of Bersabee.
Joasi azalaki na mibu sambo ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku minei na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Tsibia. » Tsibia azalaki moto ya Beri-Sheba.
2 And Joas did that which right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jodae the priest.
Joasi asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada.
3 And Jodae took to himself two wives, and they bore sons and daughters.
Yeoyada aponaki mpo na Joasi basi mibale oyo babotelaki ye bana mibali mpe bana basi.
4 And it came to pass afterward that it came into the heart of Joas to repair the house of the Lord.
Sima na yango, Joasi azwaki mokano ya kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe.
5 And he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out into the cities of Juda, and collect money of all Israel to repair the house of the Lord from year to year, and make haste to speak [of it]. But the Levites hasted not.
Abengisaki Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi, alobaki na bango: — Botambola kati na bingumba ya Yuda, bokongola mbongo, mobu na mobu, kati na Isalaele mobimba mpo na kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Bosala yango sik’oyo. Kasi Balevi basalaki yango na lombangu te.
6 And king Joas called Jodae the chief, and said to him, Why have you not looked after the Levites, so that they should bring from Juda and Jerusalem that which was prescribed by Moses the man of God, when he assembled Israel at the tabernacle of witness?
Mokonzi abengisaki Yeoyada, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, mpe alobaki na ye: « Mpo na nini olobaki te na Balevi ete bakongola, wuta na Yuda mpe na Yelusalemi, mpako oyo Moyize, mosali na Yawe, akatelaki lisanga ya Isalaele mpo na Ndako ya kapo ya Litatoli? »
7 For Gotholia was a transgressor, and her sons tore down the house of God; for they offered the holy things of the house of the Lord to Baalim.
Nzokande, bana mibali ya Atali, mwasi mabe, batobolaki madusu mpo na kokota kati na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe basalelaki ata bisalelo na yango nyonso ya bule mpo na losambo ya banzambe Bala.
8 And the king said, Let a box be made, and let it be put at the gate of the house of the Lord without.
Mokonzi apesaki mitindo ete basala sanduku, batia yango na libanda ya ekuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe
9 And let [men] proclaim in Juda an in Jerusalem, that [the people] should bring to the Lord, as Moses the servant of God spoke concerning Israel in the wilderness.
mpe batatola kati na Yuda mpe kati na Yelusalemi ete basengeli komemela Yawe mpako oyo Moyize, mosali na Nzambe, akatelaki Isalaele kati na esobe.
10 And all the princes and all the people gave, and brought in, and cast into the box until it was filled.
Bakalaka nyonso mpe bato nyonso basepelaki na yango: bamemaki mbongo na bango mpe batiaki yango kati na sanduku kino etondaki.
11 And it came to pass, when they brought in the box to the officers of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that the money was more than sufficient, then came the king's scribe, and the officer of the high priest, and emptied the box, and restored it to its place. Thus they did day by day, and collected much money.
Tango nyonso Balevi bazalaki komema sanduku epai ya bakalaka ya mokonzi mpe bazalaki komona ete ezalaki na mbongo ebele, mokomi mikanda ya mokonzi mpe mobombi biloko ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe bazalaki koya kolongola mbongo oyo ezalaki kati na sanduku mpe kozongisa sanduku na esika na yango. Bazalaki kosala bongo mikolo nyonso mpe bazalaki kokongola mbongo ebele.
12 And the king and Jodae the priest gave it to the workmen employed in the service of the house of the Lord, and they hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the Lord, also smiths and braziers to repair the house of the Lord.
Mokonzi mpe Yeoyada bazalaki kopesa yango na bato oyo bazalaki kosala misala ya kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe. Bafutaki babuki mabanga, basharipantie mpe bato oyo basalaka misala ya bibende mpe ya bronze na moto, mpo na kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe.
13 And the workmen wrought, and the works prospered in their hands, and they established the house of the Lord on its foundation, and strengthened [it].
Bato oyo bazalaki kosala misala basalaki yango noki, mpe misala ezalaki kotambola malamu na bokambami na bango. Babongisaki Tempelo ya Nzambe ndenge ezalaka.
14 And when they had finished [it], they brought to the king and to Jodae the remainder of the money, and they made vessels for the house of the Lord, vessels of service for whole burnt offerings, and gold and silver [censers]: and they offered up whole burnt offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Jodae.
Tango basilisaki, bazongisaki epai ya mokonzi mpe Yeoyada mbongo oyo etikalaki. Na mbongo yango, basalaki bisalelo mpo na Tempelo ya Yawe, mpo na losambo, mpo na bambeka ya kotumba, bakopo, mpe bisalelo mosusu ya wolo mpe ya palata. Na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada, bazalaki kobonza bambeka ya kotumba kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
15 And Jodae grew old, being full of days, and he died, being a hundred and thirty years old at his death.
Yeoyada akomaki mobange makasi, atondaki mikolo mpe akufaki tango akokisaki mibu nkama moko na tuku misato ya mbotama.
16 And they buried him with the kings in the city of David, because he had dealt well with Israel, and with God and his house.
Bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi esika moko na bakonzi mpo na bolamu oyo asalaki kati na Isalaele, mpo na Nzambe mpe mpo na Tempelo ya Yawe.
17 And it came to pass after the death of Jodae, [that] the princes of Juda went in, and did obeisance to the king. Then the king listened to them.
Sima na kufa ya Yeoyada, bakambi ya Yuda bayaki kopesa mokonzi lokumu, mpe mokonzi ayokaki bango.
18 And they forsook the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and served the Astartes and idols: and there was wrath upon Juda and Jerusalem in that day.
Basundolaki Tempelo ya Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango, mpe bakomaki kogumbamela makonzi ya Ashera mpe banzambe ya bikeko. Mpo na etamboli mabe na bango, kanda ya Yawe ekweyelaki Yuda mpe Yelusalemi.
19 yet he sent prophets to them, to turn them to the Lord; but they listened not: and he testified to them, but they obeyed not.
Atako Yawe atindaki basakoli kati na bango mpo na kozongisa bango epai na Ye, mpe atako basakoli bapamelaki bango, kasi batikalaki kaka koyoka te.
20 And the Spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Jodae the priest, and he stood up above the people, and said, Thus says the Lord, Why do you transgress the commandments of the Lord? so shall you not prosper; for you have forsaken the Lord, and he will forsake you.
Molimo ya Nzambe akitelaki Zakari, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada, mpe Zakari atelemaki liboso ya bato mpe alobaki: « Tala makambo oyo Nzambe alobi: ‹ Mpo na nini bozali kotosa mitindo ya Yawe te? Bokokende liboso te! Lokola bosundoli Yawe, Ye mpe asundoli bino. › »
21 And they conspired against him, and stone him by command of king Joas in the court of the Lord's house.
Kasi bato basalelaki ye likita; mpe na etinda ya mokonzi, babomaki ye na mabanga kati na lopango ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
22 So Joas remembered not the kindness which his father Jodae had exercised towards him, but killed his son. And as he died, he said, The Lord look upon [it], and judge.
Mokonzi Joasi abosanaki bolamu nyonso oyo Yeoyada, tata ya Zakari, asalelaki ye, mpe abomaki Zakari, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada. Tango azalaki kokufa, Zakari alobaki: « Tika ete Yawe amona mpe akata likambo oyo! »
23 And it came to pass after the end of the year, [that] the host of Syria went up against him, and came against Juda and Jerusalem: and they killed all the chiefs of the people amongst the people, and all their spoils they sent to the king of Damascus.
Na suka ya mobu, basoda ya Siri babundisaki Joasi, bakotaki na makasi kati na Yuda mpe Yelusalemi, babomaki bakambi nyonso ya bato mpe batindaki bomengo nyonso ya bitumba epai ya mokonzi na bango, na Damasi.
24 For the army of Syria came with few men, yet God gave into their hands a very large army, because they had forsaken the God of their fathers; and he brought judgements on Joas.
Atako ndambo ya basoda ya Siri kaka nde bayaki, kasi Yawe akabaki na maboko na bango mampinga ya bato ya Yuda, oyo elekaki monene, pamba te basundolaki Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango. Boye, basoda ya Siri bakokisaki etumbu oyo ekweyelaki Joasi.
25 And after they had departed from him, when they had left him in sore diseases, then his servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son of Jodae the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchre of the kings.
Tango bato ya Siri bazongaki, batikaki Joasi na bapota minene. Bakalaka na ye basalelaki ye likita na ndenge abomaki mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada mpe babomaki ye na mbeto na ye. Boye, akufaki mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi, kasi kati na bakunda ya bakonzi te.
26 And they that conspired against him were Zabed the son of Samaath the Ammanite, and Jozabed the son of Samareth the Moabite.
Tala bato oyo basalelaki ye likita: Zabadi, mwana mobali ya Shimeati, mwasi ya mboka Amoni; mpe Yozabadi, mwana mobali ya Shimiriti, mwasi ya Moabi.
27 And all his sons, and the five came to him: and the other [matters], behold, they are written in the book of the kings. And Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
Bakombo ya bana na ye ya mibali, maloba nyonso oyo basakolaki mpo na ye mpe mikano oyo babongisaki mpo na Tempelo ya Nzambe ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi. Amatsia, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
