2 Kings 10
1 And Achab had seventy sons in Samaria: so Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the chief men of the city, and to the ancients, and to them that brought up Achab’s children, saying:
Akabi azalaki na bana mibali tuku sambo na Samari. Jewu akomaki mikanda mpe atindaki yango na Samari epai ya bakalaka ya Jizireyeli, epai ya bampaka mpe epai ya babateli ya bana ya Akabi. Na mikanda yango, Jewu alobaki:
2 As soon as you receive these letters, ye that have your master’s sons, and chariots, and horses, and fenced cities, and armour,
« Tango kaka mokanda oyo ekokomela bino, lokola bana mibali ya mokonzi na bino bazali elongo na bino, mpe lokola bozali na bashar mpe bampunda, engumba ya makasi mpe bibundeli,
3 Choose the best, and him that shall please you most of your master’s sons, and set him on his father’s throne, and fight for the house of your master.
bopona mwana mobali oyo aleki malamu mpe mayele kati na bana mibali ya mokonzi na bino, botia ye na kiti ya bokonzi ya tata na ye, mpe bobunda mpo na ndako ya mokonzi na bino. »
4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said: Behold two kings could not stand before him, and how shall we be able to resist?
Kasi babangaki makasi mpe balobaki: « Soki kutu bakonzi mibale bakokaki te kobunda na ye, bongo ndenge nini biso tokobunda na ye? »
5 Therefore the overseers of the house, and the rulers of the city, and the ancients, and the tutors sent to Jehu, saying: We are thy servants, whatsoever thou shalt command us we will do, neither will we make us a king: do thou all that pleaseth thee.
Boye, mobateli biloko ya ndako ya mokonzi, moyangeli ya engumba, bampaka mpe babateli ya bana ya mokonzi batindaki sango oyo epai ya Jewu: « Tozali basali na yo mpe tokosala nyonso oyo okoloba. Tokotia moto mosusu te lokola mokonzi, tokosala nyonso oyo okomona malamu. »
6 And he wrote letters the second time to them, saying: If you be mine, and will obey me, take the heads of the sons of your master, and come to me to Jezrahel by tomorrow this time. Now the king’s sons, being seventy men, were brought up with the chief men of the city.
Boye, Jewu akomelaki bango mokanda ya mibale oyo kati na yango alobaki: « Soki bozali na ngambo na ngai mpe bokotosa ngai, bozwa mito ya bana mibali nyonso ya mokonzi na bino mpe boya na yango epai na ngai, na Jizireyeli, lobi na tongo. » Nzokande bana mibali tuku sambo ya mokonzi bazalaki epai ya bato ya lokumu ya engumba, oyo bazalaki kobokola bango.
7 And when the letters came to them, they took the king’s sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezrahel.
Tango mokanda ekomaki, bato wana bazwaki bana mibali ya mokonzi, babomaki bango nyonso tuku sambo, batiaki mito na bango na bitunga mpe batindaki yango epai ya Jewu, na Jizireyeli.
8 And a messenger came, and told him, saying: They have brought the heads of the king’s sons. And he said: Lay ye them in two heaps by the entering in of the gate until the morning.
Ntoma moko akomaki mpe alobaki na Jewu: — Bamemi mito ya bana mibali ya mokonzi. Bongo Jewu apesaki mitindo: — Botia yango na mipiku mibale na ekuke ya engumba kino na tongo.
9 And when it was light, he went out, and standing said to all the people: You are just: if I conspired against my master, and slew him, who hath slain all these?
Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Jewu abimaki, atelemaki liboso ya bato nyonso mpe alobaki: — Bosali na bino mabe te. Ezalaki ngai nde nasalelaki nkolo na ngai likita mpo na kotelemela ye mpe koboma ye; kasi nani abomi bato oyo nyonso?
10 See therefore now that there hath not fallen to the ground any of the words of the Lord, which the Lord spoke concerning the house of Achab, and the Lord hath done that which he spoke in the hand of his servant Elias.
Boyeba ete liloba moko te oyo Yawe alobaki mpo na kotelemela ndako ya Akabi ekozanga kokokisama. Yawe akokisi makambo oyo alobaki na nzela ya mosali na Ye, Eliya.
11 So Jehu slew all that were left of the house of Achab in Jezrahel, and all his chief men, and his friends, and his priests, till there were no remains left of him.
Boye Jewu abomaki bato nyonso ya ndako ya Akabi, oyo batikalaki na Jizireyeli: bato na ye nyonso ya lokumu, baninga na ye, Banganga-Nzambe na ye. Atikaki ata moto na ye moko te na bomoi.
12 And he arose, and went to Samaria: and when he was come to the shepherds’ cabin in the way,
Jewu atelemaki mpe akendeki na Samari. Na Beti-Ekedi-Aron,
13 He met with the brethren of Ochozias king of Juda, and he said to them: Who are you? And they answered: We are the brethren of Ochozias, and are come down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.
Jewu akutanaki na bandeko ya Akazia, mokonzi ya kala ya Yuda, mpe atunaki bango: — Bozali banani? Bazongisaki: — Tozali bandeko ya Akazia. Toyei kopesa bana mibali ya mokonzi mpe mama ya mokonzi mbote.
14 And he said: Take them alive. And they took them alive, and killed them at the pit by the cabin, two and forty men, and he left not any of them.
Jewu apesaki mitindo: — Bokanga bango ya bomoi. Boye bakangaki bango ya bomoi mpe bakataki bango bakingo, pene ya libulu ya Beti-Ekedi. Bazalaki mibali tuku minei na mibale, mpe Jewu atikaki moto moko te na bomoi.
15 And when he was departed thence, he found Jonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him, and he blessed him. And he said to him: Is thy heart right as my heart is with thy heart? And Jonadab said: It is. If it be, said he, give me thy hand. He gave him his hand. And he lifted him up to him into the chariot,
Tango alongwaki kuna mpe akutanaki na Yonadabi, mwana mobali ya Rekabi, oyo abandaki koya kokutana na ye, Jewu apesaki ye mbote mpe alobaki: — Boni, motema na yo ezali sembo mpo na ngai, ndenge motema na ngai ezali mpo na yo? Yonadabi azongisaki: — Iyo, ezali bongo! Jewu alobaki: — Soki ezali bongo, pesa ngai loboko na yo. Boye, Yonadabi asalaki bongo, mpe Jewu asungaki ye mpo na komata na shar.
16 And he said to him: Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord. So he made him ride in his chariot,
Jewu alobaki: — Yaka elongo na ngai, mpe okomona bolingo makasi na ngai mpo na Yawe. Boye, Jewu amemaki ye na shar na ye.
17 And brought him into Samaria. And he slew all that were left of Achab in Samaria, to a man, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by Elias.
Tango Jewu akomaki na Samari, abomaki bato nyonso ya libota ya Akabi, oyo batikalaki kuna. Jewu abomaki bango kolanda Liloba na Yawe oyo alobaki na nzela ya Eliya.
18 And Jehu gathered together all the people, and said to them: Achab worshipped Baal a little, but I will worship him more.
Jewu abengisaki bato nyonso mpe alobaki na bango: « Akabi azalaki kosalela Bala mingi te, kasi Jewu akosalela ye mingi.
19 Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, and all his servants, and all his priests: let none be wanting, for I have a great sacrifice to offer to Baal: whosoever shall be wanting shall not live. Now Jehu did this craftily, that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
Sik’oyo, bobengisa basakoli nyonso ya Bala, basambeli na ye nyonso mpe banganga-nzambe na ye nyonso. Bosala ete moto moko te azanga, pamba te nakobonza mbeka ya monene mpo na Bala. Moto nyonso oyo akozanga, akokufa. » Jewu asalelaki mayele mabe mpo na koboma basambeli ya Bala.
20 And he said: Proclaim a festival for Baal. And he called,
Jewu alobaki: « Bobengisa mayangani mpo na lokumu ya Bala. » Boye babengisaki mayangani yango.
21 And he sent into all the borders of Israel, and all the servants of Baal came: there was not one left that did not come. And they went into the temple of Baal: and the house of Baal was filled, from one end to the other.
Jewu apanzaki sango kati na Isalaele, basambeli nyonso ya Bala bayaki mpe moto moko te azangaki. Bakotaki ebele na ndako ya nzambe Bala mpe batondisaki yango kino na basuka nyonso.
22 And he said to them that were over the wardrobe: Bring forth garments for all the servants of Baal. And they brought them forth garments.
Jewu alobaki na mobateli bilamba ya bonganga-nzambe ya Bala: « Yaka na bilamba mpo na basambeli nyonso ya Bala. » Boye abimisaki bilamba mpo na bango.
23 And Jehu and Jonadab the son of Rechab went to the temple of Baal, and said to the worshippers of Baal: Search, and see that there be not any with you of the servants of the Lord, but that there be the servants of Baal only.
Bongo Jewu elongo na Yonadabi, mwana mobali ya Rekabi, bakotaki na ndako ya nzambe Bala. Jewu alobaki na basambeli ya Bala: « Botala malamu-malamu na zingazinga na bino mpo ete basali ya Yawe bazala elongo na bino te, kaka basali ya Bala. »
24 And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings: but Jehu had prepared him fourscore men without, and said to them: If any of the men escape, whom I have brought into your hands, he that letteth him go shall answer life for life.
Bakotaki mpo na kobongisa bambeka mpe batumbaki yango. Nzokande, Jewu atiaki bato tuku mwambe libanda na likebisi oyo: « Soki moto moko kati na bino akimisi moko kati na bato oyo napesi na maboko na bino, akofuta bomoi na ye na motuya ya bomoi ya moto oyo akimi. »
25 And it came to pass, when the burnt offering was ended, that Jehu commanded his soldiers and captains, saying: Go in, and kill them, let none escape. And the soldiers and captains slew them with the edge of the sword, and cast them out: and they went into the city of the temple of Baal,
Tango kaka Jewu asilisaki kobongisa mbeka ya kotumba, apesaki mitindo epai na bakengeli mpe na bakambi na bango: « Bokota mpe boboma bango. Bokimisa moto moko te. » Boye, babomaki bango na mopanga. Bakengeli mpe bakonzi ya basoda babwakaki bibembe na libanda mpe bakotaki kino na esika ya bule ya ndako ya nzambe Bala.
26 And brought the statue out of Baal’s temple, and burnt it,
Babimisaki libanga ya bule na libanda ya ndako ya nzambe Bala mpe batumbaki yango.
27 And broke it in pieces. They destroyed also the temple of Baal, and made a jakes in its place unto this day.
Babukaki libanga yango ya bule, bakweyisaki ndako ya nzambe Bala mpe bakomisaki yango zongo kino na mokolo ya lelo.
28 So Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel:
Ezali bongo nde Jewu asukisaki losambo ya Bala kati na Isalaele.
29 But yet he departed not from the sills of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, nor did he forsake the golden calves that were in Bethel and Dan.
Kasi Jewu atikaki te masumu ya Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, oyo, na nzela na yango, akweyisaki Isalaele na lisumu. Lisumu yango ezali: kosambela bikeko ya bangombe ya wolo, na Beteli mpe na Dani.
30 And the Lord said to Jehu: Because thou hast diligently executed that which was right and pleasing in my eyes, and hast done to the house of Achab according to all that was in my heart: thy children shall sit upon the throne of Israel to the fourth Generation.
Yawe alobaki na Jewu: « Lokola osali malamu mpo na kokokisa oyo ezali sembo na miso na Ngai, mpe lokola osali na libota ya Akabi nyonso oyo nakanaki kosala, bakitani na yo bakovanda na kiti ya bokonzi ya Isalaele kino na molongo ya minei. »
31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord the God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, who had made Israel to sin.
Nzokande, Jewu asalaki bokebi te mpo na kobatela mibeko ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, na motema na ye mobimba. Atikaki te masumu ya Jeroboami oyo, na nzela na yango, akweyisaki Isalaele na lisumu.
32 In those days the Lord began to he weary of Israel: and Hazael ravaged them in all the coasts of Israel,
Na tango wana, Yawe abandaki kokomisa moke bandelo ya Isalaele. Azaeli alongaki bana ya Isalaele, na mokili na bango,
33 From the Jordan eastward, all the land of Galaad, and Gad, and Ruben, and Manasses, from Aroer, which is upon the torrent Amen, and Galaad, and Basan.
na este ya Yordani, na etuka nyonso ya Galadi (mabele ya libota ya Gadi, ya Ribeni mpe ya Manase), longwa na Aroeri oyo ezali pembeni ya moluka ya Arinoni kino na Galadi mpe Bashani.
34 But the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and his strength, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Jewu, misala na ye nyonso mpe elonga na ye ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.
35 And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joachaz his son reigned in his stead.
Jewu akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye na Samari. Bongo Yoakazi, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
36 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria, was eight and twenty years.
Jewu akonzaki Isalaele, na Samari mibu tuku mibale na mwambe.
