Judges 2
1 And an Angel of the Lord came vp from Gilgal to Bochim, and sayd, I made you to go vp out of Egypt, and haue brought you vnto the land which I had sworne vnto your fathers, and sayd, I wil neuer breake my couenant with you.
Anjelu ya Yawe alongwaki na Giligali mpe akendeki na Bokimi. Alobaki: « Nabimisaki bino na Ejipito mpe nakotisaki bino na mokili oyo nalakaki kopesa epai ya bakoko na bino na nzela ya ndayi. Nalobaki: ‹ Nakotikala kokata boyokani te kati na Ngai mpe bino;
2 Ye also shall make no couenant with the inhabitants of this land, but shall breake downe their altars: but ye haue not obeyed my voyce. Why haue ye done this?
mpe bokosala boyokani te elongo na bato ya mokili oyo, kasi bokobuka bitumbelo na bango. › Nzokande, botosaki Ngai te. Mpo na nini bosalaki bongo?
3 Wherefore, I sayd also, I wil not cast them out before you, but they shalbe as thornes vnto your sides, and their gods shalbe your destruction.
Sik’oyo, nalobi na bino ete nakobengana bango lisusu te liboso na bino; bakokoma nzube na mipanzi na bino, mpe banzambe na bango ya bikeko ekokoma mitambo mpo na bino. »
4 And when the Angel of the Lord spake these wordes vnto all the children of Israel, the people lift vp their voyce, and wept.
Tango Anjelu ya Yawe alobaki makambo oyo epai ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele, bakomaki kolela makasi,
5 Therefore they called the name of that place, Bochim, and offered sacrifices there vnto the Lord.
mpe babengaki esika yango Bokimi. Babonzaki kuna bambeka epai na Yawe.
6 Now when Ioshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went euery man into his inheritance, to possesse the land.
Sima na Jozue kobengana bato, bana ya Isalaele bakendeki kobotola mokili, moto na moto na eteni na ye ya mabele.
7 And the people had serued the Lord al the dayes of Ioshua, and all the dayes of the Elders that outliued Ioshua, which had seene all the great works of the Lord that he did for Israel.
Basalelaki Yawe tango nyonso Jozue azalaki na bomoi mpe, sima na kufa na ye, tango nyonso bampaka, oyo bamonaki misala nyonso ya Yawe mpo na Isalaele, bazalaki na bomoi.
8 But Ioshua the sonne of Nun the seruant of the Lord dyed, when he was an hundreth and ten yeeres olde:
Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mosali na Yawe, akufaki tango akokisaki mibu nkama moko na zomi ya mbotama.
9 And they buryed him in the coastes of his inheritance, in Timnath-heres in mount Ephraim, on the Northside of mount Gaash.
Bakundaki ye na mabele ya libula na ye, na Timinati-Eresi, kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi, na ngambo ya nor ya ngomba Gashi.
10 And so all that generation was gathered vnto their fathers, and another generation arose after them, which neither knewe the Lord, nor yet the works, which he had done for Israel.
Sima na yango, molongo nyonso ya bato oyo bazalaki elongo na Jozue basilaki na kokufa; mpe molongo mosusu ya bato oyo babotamaki sima na bango ebimaki, molongo oyo eyebaki Yawe te mpe emonaki te misala oyo asalaki mpo na Isalaele.
11 Then the children of Israel did wickedly in the sight of the Lord, and serued Baalim,
Bongo bana ya Isalaele bakomaki kosala makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe mpe kosalela banzambe ya Bala.
12 And forsooke ye Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the lande of Egypt, and followed other gods, euen the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed vnto them, and prouoked the Lord to anger.
Basundolaki Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango, oyo abimisaki bango na mokili ya Ejipito, mpe bakomaki kosambela mpe kosalela banzambe ya ndenge na ndenge ya bato oyo bazalaki zingazinga na bango; bakomaki kogumbama liboso ya banzambe yango. Mpo na yango, bapelisaki kanda ya Yawe,
13 So they forsooke the Lord, and serued Baal, and Ashtaroth.
pamba te basundolaki Yawe mpo na kosalela banzambe Bala mpe Asitarite.
14 And the wrath of the Lord was hote against Israel, and he deliuered them into the hands of spoylers, that spoyled them, and he sold them into the handes of their enemies rounde about them, so that they could no longer stande before their enemies.
Bongo Yawe atombokelaki bana ya Isalaele mpe akabaki bango na maboko ya bato mabe oyo babotolaki bango biloko na makasi; asundolaki bango epai ya banguna na bango, oyo bazalaki zingazinga na bango, mpe bazangaki makoki ya kotelemela bango.
15 Whithersoeuer they went out, the hand of the Lord was sore against them, as ye Lord had sayd, and as the Lord had sworne vnto them: so he punished them sore.
Tango nyonso bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kokende bitumba, loboko na Yawe ezalaki kotelemela bango mpo ete balonga te, ndenge kaka alapaki ndayi mpo na bango. Boye bazalaki na pasi makasi.
16 Notwithstanding, the Lord raysed vp Iudges, which deliuered them out of the hands of their oppressours.
Yawe abimisaki Bilombe oyo babikisaki bango wuta na maboko ya bato mabe oyo bazalaki kobotola bango biloko na makasi.
17 But yet they would not obey their Iudges: for they went a whoring after other gods, and worshipped them, and turned quickly out of the way, wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandements of the Lord: they did not so.
Kasi bana ya Isalaele bayokelaki ata Bilombe na bango te, kasi bazalaki kosambela mpe kosalela banzambe mosusu. Batikaki noki nzela oyo batata na bango bazalaki kolanda: nzela ya kotosa mibeko na Yawe. Balandaki ndakisa na bango te.
18 And when the Lord had raysed them vp Iudges, the Lord was with the Iudge, and deliuered them out of the hande of their enemies all the dayes of the Iudge (for the Lord had compassion on their gronings, because of them that oppressed them and tormented them)
Tango nyonso Yawe azalaki kobimisela bango elombe, abandaki mpe kozala elongo na elombe yango mpo na kobikisa bango wuta na maboko ya banguna na bango, na tango nyonso oyo elombe yango azalaki na bomoi. Solo Yawe azalaki koyokela bango mawa, pamba te azalaki koyoka bango kolela liboso ya banyokoli na bango mpe ya bato oyo bazalaki komonisa bango pasi.
19 Yet when the Iudge was dead, they returned, and did worse then their fathers, in following other gods to serue them and worshippe them: they ceased not from their owne inuentions, nor from their rebellious way.
Kasi soki elombe akufi, bato bazalaki kozongela misala mabe koleka kutu mabe ya batata na bango; bazalaki kosambela, kosalela, kogumbamela banzambe mosusu. Bazalaki koboya kotika misala na bango ya mabe mpe bazalaki kaka kotingama na nzela na bango.
20 Wherfore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he sayd, Because this people hath transgressed my couenant, which I commaded their fathers, and hath not obeyed my voyce,
Boye Yawe atombokelaki bana ya Isalaele mpe alobaki: « Lokola ekolo oyo ekataki boyokani oyo nasalaki elongo na batata na bango mpe eboyi koyokela Ngai,
21 Therefore will I no more cast out before them any of the nations, which Ioshua left when he dyed,
Ngai mpe nakobengana lisusu te liboso na bango ata ekolo moko kati na bikolo oyo Jozue atikaki liboso ete akufa.
22 That through them I may proue Israel, whether they wil keepe the way of the Lord, to walke therein, as their fathers kept it, or not.
Nakosalela bikolo yango mpo na komeka Isalaele mpe kotala soki bakobatela mpe bakotambola na nzela ya Yawe lokola batata na bango. »
23 So the Lord left those nations, and droue them not out immediatly, neither deliuered them into the hand of Ioshua.
Yawe akabaki te bikolo yango na maboko ya Jozue, asalaki ete etikala; abenganaki yango te mbala moko.
