2 Chronicles 11
1 And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem; and he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men apt for war, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
Tango Roboami azongaki na Yelusalemi, asangisaki mabota ya Yuda mpe ya Benjame, aponaki bilombe ya bitumba nkoto nkama moko na tuku mwambe mpo na kobundisa Isalaele mpe kozongisa bokonzi na maboko ya Roboami.
2 But the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Kasi Yawe alobaki na Shemaya, moto na Nzambe:
3 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
— Yebisa Roboami, mwana mobali ya Salomo, mokonzi ya Yuda, mpe bana nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazali kati na Yuda mpe Benjame:
4 Thus saith Jehovah: Go not up, nor fight with your brethren; return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. And they hearkened to the words of Jehovah, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
« Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Bokende te kobundisa bandeko na bino! Tika ete moto moko na moko azonga na ndako na ye, pamba te ngai moko nde nasali makambo nyonso oyo eleki. › » Batosaki Liloba na Yawe, bazongaki na bandako na bango mpe batikaki mabongisi ya kobundisa Jeroboami.
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
Wana Roboami avandaki na Yelusalemi, atongaki bamir zingazinga ya bingumba ebele ya Yuda mpo na kolendisa yango.
6 And he built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
Alendisaki Beteleemi, Etami, Tekoa,
7 and Beth-zur, and Soco, and Adullam,
Beti-Tsuri, Soko, Adulami,
8 and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
Gati, Maresha, Zifi,
9 and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
Adorayimi, Lakishi, Azeka,
10 and Zorah, and Ajalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
Tsorea, Ayaloni mpe Ebron. Oyo nde ezalaki bingumba batonga makasi kati na Yuda mpe Benjame.
11 And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of victuals, and of oil and wine;
Atongaki zingazinga na yango bamir, atiaki kuna bayangeli mpe bibombelo ya biloko ya kolia, ya mafuta mpe ya vino.
12 and in every several city, targets and spears, and made them exceedingly strong. And Judah and Benjamin were his.
Kati na bingumba yango nyonso, atiaki banguba minene mpe makonga mpo na kokomisa yango makasi koleka. Boye Yuda mpe Benjame ekomaki ya Roboami.
13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their districts;
Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi oyo bazalaki kati na Isalaele mobimba bayaki kosangana na Roboami wuta na bituka na bango nyonso.
14 for the Levites left their suburbs and their possessions, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from exercising the priesthood to Jehovah;
Balevi batikaki bandako mpe mabele na bango, bakendeki na Yuda mpe na Yelusalemi, pamba te Jeroboami mpe bana na ye ya mibali bapekisaki bango kosala mosala na bango ya bonganga-Nzambe ya Yawe.
15 and he ordained for himself priests for the high places, and for the he-goats and for the calves that he had made.
Boye, ye moko Jeroboami aponaki banganga-nzambe mpo na bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpe mpo na banzambe ya bikeko oyo asalaki na lolenge ya bantaba ya mibali mpe ya bana ngombe.
16 — And after them, those out of all the tribes of Israel that set their heart to seek Jehovah the God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to Jehovah the God of their fathers.
Bato ya mabota nyonso ya Isalaele, oyo balukaka Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, na mitema na bango mobimba balandaki Balevi, na Yelusalemi, mpo na kobonzela Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango, mbeka.
17 And they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong three years; for during three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.
Mibu misato, balendisaki bokonzi ya Yuda mpe nguya ya Roboami, mwana mobali ya Salomo; pamba te mibu misato yango, balandaki ndakisa ya Davidi mpe ya Salomo.
18 And Rehoboam took Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David as wife, [and of] Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse.
Roboami abalaki Maalati, mwana mwasi ya Yerimoti, mwana mobali ya Davidi mpe ya Abiyaili, mwana mwasi ya Eliabi, mwana mobali ya Izayi.
19 And she bore him children: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
Maalati abotelaki Roboami bana mibali oyo: Yewushi, Shemaria mpe Zaami.
20 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
Sima, Roboami abalaki Maaka, mwana mwasi ya Abisalomi, oyo abotelaki ye: Abiya, Atayi, Ziza mpe Shelomiti.
21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines; for he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and he begot twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
Roboami alingaki mingi Maaka, mwana mwasi ya Abisalomi, koleka basi mpe bamakangu na ye nyonso. Azalaki na basi zomi na mwambe mpe bamakangu tuku motoba; mpe abotaki bana mibali tuku mibale na mwambe mpe bana basi tuku motoba.
22 And Rehoboam established Abijah the son of Maachah at the head, to be ruler among his brethren; for [he thought] to make him king.
Roboami aponaki Abiya, mwana mobali ya Maaka, mpo ete azala mokambi ya liboso ya bandeko na ye ya mibali, pamba te azalaki na makanisi ya kokomisa ye mokonzi.
23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all the fortified cities; and he gave them food in abundance. And he desired [for them] a multitude of wives.
Boye, asalelaki mayele ya kopanza bana na ye nyonso ya mibali kati na bituka nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Benjame, kati na bingumba nyonso batonga makasi; apesaki bango bilei mpe basi ebele.
