2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jehoaddan, 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 accomplished good in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, not with a perfect heart.
Asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe, kasi na motema na ye mobimba te.
3 And when he saw himself to be strengthened in his rule, he cut the throats of the servants who had killed his father, the king.
Sima na Amatsia kolendisa bokonzi na ye, abomaki bakalaka oyo babomaki tata na ye, mokonzi.
4 But he did not put to death their sons, just as it was written in the book of the law of Moses, where the Lord instructed, saying: “The fathers shall not be slain because of the sons, nor the sons because of their fathers. Instead, each one shall 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 And then Amaziah gathered together Judah, and he organized them by families, and tribunes, and centurions, throughout all of Judah and Benjamin. And he numbered them from twenty years old and upward. And he found three hundred thousand young men, who could go forth to battle, and who could hold 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 Also, he hired for pay from Israel one hundred thousand experienced men, for one 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 Then a man of God came to him, and he said: “O king, let not the army of Israel go forth with you. For the Lord is not with Israel, nor with all the sons of Ephraim.
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 But if you think that a war stands by the strength of the army, God will cause you to be overwhelmed by the enemies. For indeed, it belongs to God to assist, and to put to flight.”
Ata soki okeyi kobunda na mpiko nyonso, Nzambe akokweyisa yo liboso ya monguna, pamba te azali na makoki ya kosunga mpe ya kokweyisa.
9 And Amaziah said to the man of God, “Then what will become of the one hundred talents, which I gave to the soldiers of Israel?” And the man of God responded to him, “The Lord has that from which he is able to give much more than this to you.”
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 And so, Amaziah separated the army, which had come to him from Ephraim, so that they would return to their place. But having become very angry against Judah, they returned to their own region.
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 Then Amaziah confidently led forth his people. And he went away to the Valley of the Salt Pits, and he struck down ten thousand of the sons 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 sons of Judah captured another ten thousand of the men. And they led them to the precipice of a certain rock. And they threw them from the summit, and they were all broken apart.
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 But the army that Amaziah had sent away, so that they would not go with him into battle, spread out among the cities of Judah, from Samaria as far as Beth-horon. And having killed three thousand, they took away much 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 Truly, after the slaughter of the Edomites, and when the gods of the sons of Seir were brought, Amaziah chose them as gods for himself. And he was adoring them, and burning incense 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 For this reason, the Lord became angry against Amaziah, and he sent a prophet to him, who would say to him, “Why have you adored gods who did not free their own people 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 And after he spoke these things, he responded to him: “Are you the counselor of the king? Be quiet! Otherwise I will put you to death.” And departing, the prophet said, “I know that God has decided to kill you, because you have done this evil, and also because you have not agreed to my counsel.”
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 And so Amaziah, the king of Judah, undertaking a very wicked counsel, sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, the king of Israel, saying: “Come, let us see one another.”
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 he sent back messengers, saying: “The thistle which is in Lebanon sent to the cedar of Lebanon, saying: ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife.’ And behold, the beasts that were in the forest of Lebanon passed through, and they 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 said, ‘I struck down Edom.’ And for this reason, your heart is lifted up with pride. Settle in your own house. Why do you provoke evil against yourself, so that you may fall, and then 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 Amaziah was not willing to listen to him, because it was the will of the Lord that he be delivered into the hands of the enemies, because of 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 And so Joash, the king of Israel, ascended, and they presented themselves within the sight of one another. Now Amaziah, the king of Judah, was in Beth-shemesh of 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 fell before Israel. And each one fled to his own tent.
Isalaele alongaki Yuda, mpe bato ya Yuda bakimaki, moto na moto na ndako na ye.
23 Then Joash, the king of Israel, captured Amaziah, the king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and he led him to Jerusalem. And he destroyed its walls, from the gate of Ephraim as far as the gate of the corner, 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 Also, he brought back to Samaria all the gold and silver, and all the vessels, which he had found in the house of God, and with Obededom in the treasuries of the king’s house, as well as sons for hostages.
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 Then Amaziah, the son of Joash, the king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the 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 Now the rest of the words of Amaziah, the first and the last, have been 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 And after he withdrew from the Lord, they set up an ambush against him in Jerusalem. But since he had fled into Lachish, they sent and killed him in that place.
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 And having carried him back upon horses, they buried him with his fathers in the City of David.
Bamemaki nzoto na ye na likolo ya mpunda mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Yuda.
