Judges 2
1 And the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said: '...I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I swore unto your fathers; and I said: I will never break My covenant 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 and ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall break down their altars; but ye have not hearkened unto My voice; what is this ye have done?
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 also said: I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be unto you as snares, and their gods shall be a trap unto you.'
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 it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spoke these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
Tango Anjelu ya Yawe alobaki makambo oyo epai ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele, bakomaki kolela makasi,
5 And they called the name of that place Bochim; and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.
mpe babengaki esika yango Bokimi. Babonzaki kuna bambeka epai na Yawe.
6 Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess 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 served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the LORD, that He had wrought 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 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being a hundred and ten years old.
Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, mosali na Yawe, akufaki tango akokisaki mibu nkama moko na zomi ya mbotama.
9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of 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 also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, that knew not the LORD, nor yet the work which He had wrought 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 And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baalim.
Bongo bana ya Isalaele bakomaki kosala makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe mpe kosalela banzambe ya Bala.
12 And they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and worshipped them; and they provoked the LORD.
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 And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
pamba te basundolaki Yawe mpo na kosalela banzambe Bala mpe Asitarite.
14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and He gave them over into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand 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 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had spoken, and as the LORD had sworn unto them; and they were sore distressed.
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 And the LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
Yawe abimisaki Bilombe oyo babikisaki bango wuta na maboko ya bato mabe oyo bazalaki kobotola bango biloko na makasi.
17 And yet they hearkened not unto their judges, for they went astray after other gods, and worshipped them; they turned aside quickly out of the way wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandments 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 raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repented the LORD because of their groaning by reason of them that oppressed them and crushed 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 But it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to worship them; they left nothing undone of their practices, nor of their stubborn 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 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel; and He said: 'Because this nation have transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto My voice;
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 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died;
Ngai mpe nakobengana lisusu te liboso na bango ata ekolo moko kati na bikolo oyo Jozue atikaki liboso ete akufa.
22 that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep 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, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered He them into the hand of Joshua.
Yawe akabaki te bikolo yango na maboko ya Jozue, asalaki ete etikala; abenganaki yango te mbala moko.
