2 Chronicles 20
1 After this also came the children of Moab and the children of Ammon, and with them of the Ammonites against Iehoshaphat to battell.
Sima na yango, bato ya Moabi mpe ya Amoni elongo na ndambo ya bato ya Maoni bayaki kobundisa Jozafati.
2 Then there came that tolde Iehoshaphat, saying, There commeth a great multitude against thee from beyonde the Sea, out of Aram: and beholde, they bee in Hazzon Tamar, which is En-gedi.
Bongo sango ekomaki na matoyi ya Jozafati na maloba oyo: « Mampinga minene ezali koya kobundisa yo longwa na Siri mpe na ngambo mosusu ya ebale monene; esili kokoma na Atsatsoni-Tamari oyo babengaka Eyini-Gedi. »
3 And Iehoshaphat feared, and set him selfe to seeke the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Iudah.
Jozafati abangaki makasi; azwaki mokano ya kotuna toli ya Yawe mpe akataki ete mokili mobimba ya Yuda ekila bilei.
4 And Iudah gathered them selues together to aske counsel of the Lord: they came euen out of all the cities of Iudah to inquire of the Lord,
Bato ya Yuda oyo bawutaki na bingumba nyonso ya Yuda basanganaki mpo na koluka Yawe.
5 And Iehoshaphat stoode in the Congregation of Iudah and Ierusalem in the house of the Lord before the new court,
Jozafati atelemaki kati na lisanga ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi, kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, liboso ya lopango ya sika.
6 And saide, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heauen? and reignest not thou on all the kingdomes of the heathen? and in thine hande is power and might, and none is able to withstand thee.
Asambelaki: « Oh Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na biso! Ezali Yo te Nzambe oyo azali kati na likolo? Ezali Yo te oyo okonzaka bikolo nyonso ya mokili? Nguya mpe makasi ezali kati na loboko na Yo, mpe moko te akoki kotelemela Yo!
7 Diddest not thou our God cast out ye inhabitants of this lande before thy people Israel, and gauest it to the seede of Abraham thy friende for euer?
Oh Nzambe na biso, ezali Yo te oyo obenganaki bavandi ya mokili oyo liboso ya Isalaele, bato na Yo, mpo na kopesa yango mpo na libela epai ya bakitani ya Abrayami, molingami na Yo?
8 And they dwelt therein, and haue built thee a Sanctuarie therein for thy Name, saying,
Bavandaki mpe na mokili yango, batongaki awa Esika ya bule mpo na Yo, mpo na Kombo na Yo, na koloba:
9 If euill come vpon vs, as the sworde of iudgement, or pestilence, or famine, we will stande before this house and in thy presence (for thy name is in this house) and will crie vnto thee in our tribulation, and thou wilt heare and helpe.
‹ Soki mabe moko ekomeli biso: bitumba, etumbu, bokono to nzala makasi, tokoya kotelema liboso ya Tempelo oyo mpe liboso na Yo, pamba te Kombo na Yo ezali kati na Tempelo oyo; mpe kati na pasi na biso, tokoganga epai na Yo; bongo Yo, okoyoka, okoyanola mpe okobikisa biso! ›
10 And now beholde, the children of Ammon and Moab, and mount Seir, by whome thou wouldest not let Israel goe, when they came out of the land of Egypt: but they turned aside from them, and destroyed them not:
Sik’oyo, tala bato ya Amoni, ya Moabi mpe bavandi ya etuka ya bangomba Seiri, ba-oyo na tina na bango, tango bana ya Isalaele babimaki na Ejipito, opekisaki bana ya Isalaele kobotola mokili na bango; mpe mpo na yango, balekaki pembeni-pembeni ya mokili na bango mpe babomaki bango te!
11 Behold, I say, they reward vs, in comming to cast vs out of thine inheritance, which thou hast caused vs to inherit.
Tala lolenge nini bazali kofuta biso: bayei kobundisa mpe kobengana biso na mabele oyo opesaki biso lokola libula!
12 O our God, wilt thou not iudge them? for there is no strength in vs to stand before this great multitude that commeth against vs, neither doe wee knowe what to doe: but our eyes are toward thee.
Oh Nzambe na biso, okosambisa bango te? Pamba te tozali na makasi te ya kotelemela mampinga minene oyo ezali koya kobundisa biso, mpe toyebi te tosala nini! Miso na biso ezali kotalela kaka Yo. »
13 And all Iudah stoode before the Lord with their yong ones, their wiues, and their children.
Bato nyonso ya Yuda elongo na mabota nyonso, basi mpe bana na bango, batelemaki liboso ya Yawe.
14 And Iahaziel the sonne of Zechariah the sonne of Benaiah, the sonne of Ieiel, the sonne of Mattaniah, a Leuite of the sonnes of Asaph was there, vpon whome came the Spirite of ye Lord, in the middes of the Congregation.
Bongo Molimo na Yawe akitelaki, kati na lisanga, Yaazieli, mwana mobali ya Zakari, mwana ya mobali ya Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeyeli mpe mwana mobali ya Matania, Molevi mpe moko kati na bakitani ya Azafi.
15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Iudah, and ye inhabitantes of Ierusalem, and thou, King Iehoshaphat: thus saith the Lord vnto you, Feare you not, neither be afraide for this great multitude: for the battel is not yours, but Gods.
Yaazieli alobaki: « Bino bavandi nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi, mpe yo mokonzi Jozafati, boyoka! Tala makambo oyo Yawe azali koloba na bino: ‹ Bobanga te mpe bolenga te liboso ya mampinga minene oyo, pamba te bitumba ezali ya bino te kasi ezali ya Nzambe.
16 To morowe goe yee downe against them: beholde, they come vp by the cleft of Ziz, and ye shall finde them at the ende of the brooke before the wildernesse of Ieruel.
Lobi, bokende kobundisa bango. Bakomata ngomba Atsize, mpe bino bokokutana na bango na suka ya lubwaku, liboso ya esobe ya Yerueli.
17 Ye shall not neede to fight in this battell: stand still, moue not, and behold the saluation of the Lord towardes you: O Iudah, and Ierusalem, feare ye not, neither be afraid: to morow goe out against them, and the Lord wilbe with you.
Bokobunda bitumba ata moke te: bomibongisa kaka na bisika na bino, botelema mpe botala elonga oyo Yawe akopesa bino. Bino bato ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi, bobanga te mpe bolenga te! Lobi, bokende kokutana na bango; mpe Yawe akozala elongo na bino! › »
18 Then Iehoshaphat bowed downe with his face to the earth, and all Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem fell downe before the Lord, worshipping the Lord.
Jozafati agumbamaki elongi kino na mabele, mpe bato nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi bafukamaki mpo na kogumbamela Yawe.
19 And the Leuites of the children of the Kohathites and of the childre of the Corhites stood vp to prayse the Lord God of Israel with a loude voyce on hie.
Balevi kati na bato ya Keati mpe ya Kore batelemaki mpo na kokumisa Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, na mongongo makasi.
20 And when they arose early in the morning, they went forth to the wildernesse of Tekoa: and as they departed, Iehoshaphat stoode and sayde, Heare ye me, O Iudah, and ye inhabitants of Ierusalem: put your trust in the Lord your God, and ye shalbe assured: beleeue his Prophets, and ye shall prosper.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, bakendeki na esobe ya Tekoa. Na tango ya kokende, Jozafati atelemaki mpe alobaki: « Bino, bato ya Yuda mpe bavandi ya Yelusalemi, boyoka ngai! Botia elikya na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpe bokolendisama! Bondimela basakoli na Ye, mpe bokolonga! »
21 And when he had consulted with the people, and appoynted singers vnto the Lord, and them that should prayse him that is in the beautifull Sanctuarie, in going forth before the men of armes, and saying, Prayse ye the Lord, for his mercy lasteth for euer,
Sima na ye kosolola na bato, Jozafati aponaki bayembi, atiaki bango liboso ya mampinga ya basoda, mpo na kokumisa Yawe mpe kotombola nkembo ya bosantu na Ye. Mpe batambolaki liboso ya mampinga ya basoda na koyemba: « Bosanzola Yawe, pamba te bolingo na Ye ewumelaka seko na seko! »
22 And when they began to shoute, and to prayse, the Lord layed ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Iudah, and they slewe one another.
Tango kaka babandaki koyemba mpe kokumisa, Yawe atiaki mobulu kati na bato ya Amoni, ya Moabi mpe ya bangomba Seiri oyo bakotaki na Yuda, mpe babomanaki bango na bango.
23 For the children of Ammon and Moab rose against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to slay and to destroy them and when they had made an end of the inhabitantes of Seir, euery one helped to destroy another.
Bato ya Amoni mpe ya Moabi batelemaki mpo na kobundisa, koboma mpe kobebisa bavandi ya bangomba Seiri. Tango basilisaki koboma bavandi ya Seiri, bakomaki kobomana bango na bango.
24 And when Iudah came towarde Mizpah in the wildernes, they looked vnto the multitude: and behold, the carkeises were fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
Tango bato ya Yuda bayaki na esika ya kotalela esobe na mosika, batalaki na ngambo ya mampinga minene ya banguna mpe bamonaki kaka bibembe elali na mabele: moko te abikaki.
25 And when Iehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoyle of them, they founde among them in abundance both of substance and also of bodies laden with precious iewels, which they tooke for themselues, till they could cary no more: they were three dayes in gathering of the spoyle: for it was much.
Jozafati elongo na bato na ye bakendeki kozwa bomengo ya bitumba; mpe bamonaki bibembe ebele, biloko ebele, bilamba ebele mpe biloko ebele ya talo. Balokotaki biloko ebele oyo bakokaki ata komema te. Basalaki mikolo misato mpo na kozwa yango, pamba te bomengo ya bitumba ezalaki ebele penza.
26 And in the fourth day they assembled themselues in the valley of Berachah: for there they blessed the Lord: therefore they called the name of that place, The valley of Berachah vnto this day.
Na mokolo ya minei, basanganaki na lubwaku ya Beraka epai wapi bapambolaki Yawe. Yango wana, kino na mokolo ya lelo, babengaka esika yango lubwaku ya Beraka.
27 Then euery man of Iudah and Ierusalem returned with Iehoshaphat their head, to goe againe to Ierusalem with ioy: for the Lord had made them to reioyce ouer their enemies.
Na bokambami ya Jozafati, bato nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi bazongaki na esengo na Yelusalemi, pamba te Yawe atondisaki bango na esengo wana akangolaki bango na maboko ya banguna na bango.
28 And they came to Ierusalem with viols and with harpes, and with trumpets, euen vnto the house of the Lord.
Bakotaki na Yelusalemi na lokito ya makembe, ya mandanda mpe ya bakelelo, mpe bakendeki na Tempelo ya Yawe.
29 And the feare of God was vpon all the kingdomes of the earth, whe they had heard that the Lord had fought against ye enemies of Israel.
Somo ya Nzambe ekangaki bikolo nyonso ya mokili tango bayokaki sango ete Yawe abundisi banguna ya Isalaele.
30 So the kingdom of Iehoshaphat was quiet, and his God gaue him rest on euery side.
Bokonzi ya Jozafati ezwaki kimia, pamba te Nzambe na ye apesaki ye bopemi na bangambo nyonso.
31 And Iehoshaphat reigned ouer Iudah, and was fiue and thirtie yeere olde, when he began to reigne: and reigned fiue and twentie yeere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
Jozafati, mwana mobali ya Asa, akonzaki Yuda; azalaki na mibu tuku misato na mitano ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi ya Yuda, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku mibale na mitano na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Azuba. » Azuba azalaki mwana mwasi ya Shili.
32 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not therefrom, doing that which was right in the sight of the Lord.
Jozafati alandaki nzela oyo Asa, tata na ye, atambolaki na yango; apengwaki na yango ata moke te mpe asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe.
33 Howbeit the hie places were not taken away: for the people had not yet prepared their hearts vnto the God of their fathers.
Nzokande, balongolaki te bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba; mpe bato babongisaki nanu te mitema na bango mpo na kokangama na Nzambe ya bakoko na bango.
34 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehoshaphat first and last, beholde, they are written in the booke of Iehu the sonne of Hanani, which is mentioned in the booke of the kings of Israel.
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Jozafati, kobanda na ebandeli kino na suka, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya Jewu, mwana mobali ya Anani; mpe masolo yango ezali kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.
35 Yet after this did Iehoshaphat King of Iudah ioyne himselfe with Ahaziah King of Israel, who was giuen to do euill.
Sima na yango, Jozafati, mokonzi ya Yuda, asalaki boyokani elongo na Akazia, mokonzi ya Isalaele, oyo etamboli na ye ezalaki mabe na miso ya Nzambe.
36 And he ioyned with him, to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the shippes in Ezion Gaber.
Basanganaki bango mibale mpo na kotonga bamasuwa oyo esengelaki kokende na Tarsisi. Sima na kotonga bamasuwa na Etsioni-Geberi,
37 Then Eliezer ye sonne of Dodauah of Mareshah prophecied against Iehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast ioyned thy selfe with Ahaziah, the Lord hath broken thy workes. and the shippes were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
Eliezeri, mwana mobali ya Dodavawu, moto ya Maresha, asakolaki mpo na kotelemela Jozafati; alobaki: « Lokola osali boyokani elongo na Akazia, Yawe akobebisa misala na yo. » Mpe bamasuwa ebebaki mpe ekokaki lisusu te kokende na Tarsisi.
