2 Kings 12
1 In the seventh year of Jehu Joas began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee.
Ezalaki tango Jewu akokisaki mibu sambo na bokonzi nde Joasi akomaki mokonzi. Joasi 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 was right before the Lord all the days that Joiada the priest taught him.
Joasi asalaki makambo ya malamu na miso ya Yawe na mikolo nyonso oyo Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada azalaki koteya ye.
3 But yet he took not away the high places: for the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Nzokande, balongolaki te bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba; bato bakobaki kaka kobonza kuna bambeka mpe kotumba ansa.
4 And Joas said to the priests: O All the money of the sanctified things, which is brought into the temple of the Lord by those that pass, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which of their own accord, and of their own free heart they bring into the temple of the Lord:
Joasi alobaki na Banganga-Nzambe: « Bosangisa mbongo nyonso oyo bamemi lokola makabo ya bule kati na Tempelo ya Yawe: mbongo oyo bazwi na nzela ya kotanga bato, mbongo oyo bazwi lokola mpako mpo na kosikola bato kolanda motuya oyo ekatama, mpe mbongo oyo moto na moto apesi na Ndako ya Nzambe na motema ya esengo.
5 Let the priests take it according to their order, and repair the house, wheresoever they shall see any thing that wanteth repairing.
Tika ete Nganga-Nzambe moko na moko akamata mbongo na maboko ya babombi mbongo mpe basalela yango mpo na kobongisa eloko nyonso oyo ebebi kati na Ndako ya Nzambe. »
6 Now till the three and twentieth year of king Joas, the priests did not make the repairs of the temple.
Kasi tango mokonzi Joasi akokisaki mibu pene tuku mibale na misato na bokonzi, Banganga-Nzambe babongisaki nanu Ndako ya Nzambe te.
7 And king Joas called Joiada the high priest and the priests, saying to them: Why do you not repair the temple? Take you therefore money no more according to your order, but restore it for the repairing of the temple.
Boye, mokonzi Joasi abengisaki Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada mpe Banganga-Nzambe mosusu. Atunaki bango: « Mpo na nini bozali kobongisa te biloko oyo ebebi kati na Ndako ya Nzambe? Sik’oyo, bokozwa lisusu mbongo te na maboko ya babombi mbongo na bino, kasi botika yango mpo na kobongisa Ndako ya Nzambe. »
8 And the priests were forbidden to take any more money of the people, and to make the repairs of the house.
Banganga-Nzambe bandimaki kotika kokongola mbongo na maboko ya bato mpe kotika kobongisa Ndako ya Nzambe.
9 And Joiada the high priest took a chest and bored a hole in the top, and set it by the altar at the right hand of them that came into the house of the Lord, and the priests that kept the doors put therein all the money that was brought to the temple of the Lord.
Nganga-Nzambe Yeoyada akamataki sanduku moko mpe atobolaki mofinuku na yango. Atiaki sanduku pembeni ya etumbelo, na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali tango ozali kokota kati na Tempelo ya Yawe. Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazalaki kobatela ekuke batiaki kati na sanduku mbongo nyonso oyo bazalaki komema na Tempelo ya Yawe.
10 And when they saw that there was very much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and poured it out, and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord:
Tango nyonso bazalaki komona ete mbongo ekomi ebele kati na sanduku, mokomi mikanda ya mokonzi elongo na mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe bazalaki koya kotanga mbongo oyo bato bazalaki komema na Tempelo ya Yawe; bongo bazalaki kotia yango na basaki.
11 And they gave it out by number and measure into the hands of them that were over the builders of the house of the Lord: and they laid it out to the carpenters, and the masons that wrought in the house of the Lord,
Soki bayebi motuya na yango, bazalaki kopesa mbongo yango epai ya bato oyo bazalaki kosalisa misala kati na Ndako ya Nzambe. Na mbongo yango, bazalaki kofuta bato oyo bazalaki kosala kati na Tempelo ya Yawe: basharipantie,
12 And made the repairs: and to them that cut stones, and to buy timber, and stones, to be hewed, that the repairs of the house of the Lord might be completely finished, and wheresoever there was need of expenses to uphold the house.
batongi ndako mpe bato oyo bakataka mabanga. Bazalaki kosomba mpo na kobongisa Ndako ya Nzambe: mabaya mpe mabanga bakata. Bazalaki mpe kobimisa mbongo mpo na misala mosusu ya kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe.
13 But there were not made of the same money for the temple of the Lord, bowls, or fleshhooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold and silver, of the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord.
Kasi bazalaki kobimisa te mbongo oyo bazalaki komema na Ndako ya Nzambe, mpo na kosalela basani ya minene ya palata, bambeli, basani oyo babwakelaka na yango mayi, bakelelo mpe biloko mosusu oyo esalemi na wolo to na palata mpo na Tempelo ya Yawe.
14 For it was given to them that did the work, that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.
Mbongo yango ezalaki bobele mpo na kofuta basali oyo bazalaki kobongisa Ndako ya Yawe.
15 And they reckoned not with the men that received the money to distribute it to the workmen, but they bestowed it faithfully.
Bazalaki kolandela te mbongo oyo bapesaki na bato mpo na kofuta basali, pamba te bazalaki kosalela yango na bosembo.
16 But the money for trespass, and the money for sins, they brought not into the temple of the Lord, because it was for the priests.
Bazalaki komema te na Tempelo ya Yawe, mbongo oyo ewutaki na makabo ya kimia mpe na mbeka mpo na masumu; yango ezalaki mpo na Banganga-Nzambe.
17 Then Hazael king of Syria went up and fought against Geth, and took it and set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
Na tango wana, Azaeli, mokonzi ya Siri, akendeki kobundisa engumba Gati mpe abotolaki yango. Sima, Azaeli abalukaki mpo na kobundisa Yelusalemi.
18 Wherefore Joas king of Juda took all the sanctified things, which Josaphat, and Joram, and Ochozias his fathers the kings of Juda had dedicated to holy uses, and which he himself had offered: and all the silver that could be found in the treasures of the temple of the Lord, and in the king’s palace: and sent it to Hazael king of Syria, and he went off from Jerusalem.
Kasi Joasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, azwaki biloko nyonso ya bule oyo bakoko na ye —Jozafati, Yorami mpe Akazia, bakonzi ya Yuda— babulisaki. Joasi azwaki mpe bakado oyo ye moko abulisaki mpe wolo nyonso oyo amonaki kati na bibombelo ya bozwi ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe na ndako ya mokonzi. Atindaki yango epai ya Azaeli, mokonzi ya Siri. Sima na yango, Azaeli akendeki mosika ya Yelusalemi.
19 And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Joasi mpe misala na ye nyonso, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Yuda.
20 And his servants arose, and conspired among themselves, and slew Joas in the house of Mello in the descent of Sella.
Basali na ye batombokelaki ye mpe basalelaki ye likita. Babomaki Joasi, na Beti-Milo, na nzela oyo ekenda na Sila.
21 For Josachar the son of Semaath, and Jozabad the son of Somer his servant struck him, and he died: and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David, and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
Tala bakombo ya basali oyo babomaki Joasi: Yozabadi, mwana mobali ya Shimeati, mpe Yeozabadi, mwana mobali ya Shomeri. Joasi akufaki mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bakoko na ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Amatsia, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
