2 Chronicles 12
1 And when the kingdom of Rehoboam had been strengthened and fortified, he abandoned the law of the Lord, and all of Israel with him.
Tango bokonzi ya Roboami elendisamaki mpe ye moko akomaki makasi, ye mpe Isalaele mobimba basundolaki Mobeko ya Yawe.
2 Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem (for they had sinned against the Lord)
Boye, lokola bazalaki lisusu kotosa Yawe te, Shishaki, mokonzi ya Ejipito, abundisaki Yelusalemi na mobu ya mitano ya bokonzi ya Roboami.
3 with one thousand two hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And the common people could not be numbered who had arrived with him from Egypt, namely, the Libyans, and the Troglodytes, and the Ethiopians.
Ayaki wuta na Ejipito elongo na bashar nkoto moko na nkama mibale, basoda nkoto tuku motoba oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda elongo na mampinga ya basoda ebele oyo motango na bango ekokaki kotangama te: basoda ya mokili ya Libi, ya Suki mpe ya Kushi.
4 And he seized the most fortified cities in Judah, and he went even to Jerusalem.
Abotolaki bingumba batonga makasi ya Yuda mpe akendeki kino na Yelusalemi.
5 Then Shemaiah, the prophet, entered to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah who had gathered together in Jerusalem while fleeing from Shishak, and he said to them: “Thus says the Lord: You have abandoned me, and so I have abandoned you into the hand of Shishak.”
Bongo, mosakoli Shemaya akendeki epai ya Roboami mpe bakambi ya Yuda oyo basanganaki na Yelusalemi tango bamonaki Shishaki kopusana. Alobaki na bango: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Bosundolaki Ngai, yango wana Ngai mpe nasundoli bino na maboko ya Shishaki. »
6 And the leaders of Israel, and the king, being in consternation, said, “The Lord is just.”
Mokonzi elongo na bakambi ya Isalaele bamikitisaki, bandimaki mabe na bango mpe balobaki: — Yawe azali sembo!
7 And when the Lord had seen that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying: “Because they have been humbled, I will not disperse them. And I will give to them a little help, and my fury will not rain down upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
Tango Yawe amonaki ete basili komikitisa, Yawe alobaki lisusu epai ya Shemaya: — Lokola basili komikitisa na kondima mabe na bango, nakobebisa bango te; kasi kala mingi te, nakokangola bango, mpe kanda na Ngai ekokitela Yelusalemi te na nzela ya Shishaki.
8 Yet truly, they shall serve him, so that they may know the difference between my servitude, and the servitude of a kingdom of the lands.”
Nzokande bakokoma bawumbu na ye mpe, na bongo, bakoyeba bokeseni nini ezali kati na kosalela Ngai mpe kosalela bakonzi ya bamboka mosusu.
9 And so Shishak, the king of Egypt, withdrew from Jerusalem, taking up the treasures of the house of the Lord and of the house of the king. And he took away everything with him, even the gold shields that Solomon had made.
Shishaki, mokonzi ya Ejipito, abundisaki Yelusalemi, azwaki bomengo ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe ya ndako ya mokonzi. Azwaki penza biloko nyonso, ezala banguba ya wolo oyo Salomo asalisaki.
10 In place of these, the king made bronze ones, and he delivered them to the leaders of the shield bearers, who were guarding the vestibule of the palace.
Na esika ya banguba ya wolo, mokonzi Roboami asalisaki banguba ya bronze mpe apesaki yango epai ya bakonzi ya bakengeli ekotelo ya ndako ya mokonzi.
11 And when the king would enter into the house of the Lord, the shield bearers would arrive and take them, and they would carry them back to their armory.
Tango nyonso mokonzi abandaki kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe, bakengeli bazalaki kokende elongo na ye, bazalaki komema banguba mpe kozongisa yango kati na ndako ya bakengeli.
12 Yet truly, because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and so they were not utterly destroyed. And indeed, good works were also found in Judah.
Lokola mokonzi Roboami amikitisaki na kondima mabe na ye, Yawe akitiselaki ye te kanda na Ye mpe abebisaki ye penza te. Kutu, emonanaki lisusu makambo malamu kati na Yuda.
13 Therefore, king Rehoboam was strengthened in Jerusalem, and he reigned. He was forty-one years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, so that he might confirm his name there. Now the name of his mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.
Mokonzi Roboami alendisaki bokonzi na ye, na Yelusalemi mpe akonzaki. Azalaki na mibu tuku minei na moko ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu zomi na sambo na Yelusalemi, engumba oyo Yawe aponaki kati na mabota nyonso ya Isalaele mpo na kotia kuna Kombo na Ye. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Naama. » Naama azalaki moto ya Amoni.
14 But he did evil, and he did not prepare his heart so as to seek the Lord.
Roboami asalaki mabe, pamba te amipesaki te, na motema na ye mobimba, mpo na koluka Yawe.
15 Truly, the works of Rehoboam, the first and the last, have been written in the books of Shemaiah, the prophet, and of Iddo, the seer, and diligently set forth. And Rehoboam and Jeroboam fought against one another during all their days.
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Roboami, kobanda na ebandeli kino na suka, ekomama kati na buku ya misala ya mosakoli Shemaya mpe ya momoni makambo Ido, buku epai wapi emonani milongo ya mbotama. Ezalaki tango nyonso na bitumba kati na Roboami mpe Jeroboami.
16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And his son, Abijah, reigned in his place.
Roboami akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Abiya, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
